Wedding Photos
Quinn and Eric were amazing to work with! They both worked so hard all day to capture all our amazing moments of our special day with our friends and families. Through everything that has been happening with Covid, Quinn was so helpful and understanding with all of the changes we had to make. We received are sneak peeks the next day and are anxiously awaiting the rest, the few shots we got were amazing! I highly recommend hiring Quinn for your photography needs, you won’t be disappointed!

Amazing Photographer
Quinn is a great photographer. We used him back in 2012 for our wedding, where he captured every key moment of our special day.
Before we chose him we spoke with many other photographers. We selected him because of his friendly demenor, professionalism, and flexibility in meeting all of our needs.
On the day, he worked tirelessly from the pre-ceremony preparations to the reception. He came up with just the right amount of creative and elegant staged photos, without taking away form the flow of our day. But where he really shined was in his ability to be a constant fly-on-the-wall, capturing all those special and candid moments. Before his time was up, he asked us if there were any other photos we wanted before he took off - I really liked that about him.
We were just as pleased with Quinn after we got our pictures back. They were delivered to us in a timely manner and of the highest quality, professionally and creatively edited. We definitely plan on using him in the future to do some family photos for us.

Calm, Cool, Collected
Quinn was relaxed, meticulous and gave perfect direction! All of my guests were calm and relaxed with him around and commented on how amazing it was that he just blended into the background instead of being in peoples faces the whole day. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!

Even better than I ever hoped for!
We met with quite a few photographers before reaching our decision to go with Quinn and I am so glad that we did. Our decision was based on not only what a really nice guy he is, how easy he was to talk to, and how comfortable he made us feel; but also his incredible technical knowledge ( my husband is a bit of a geek and once they started talking specifics we were pretty convinced he would do the best job), his vast experience, and his passion for his work.
I am a proud budget bride and I was honestly a little concerned that we might not end up with many great pictures as we didn't spend much money on things like my dress, getting make up done professionally, or renting a hotel room. Our venue was a community hall just outside of Cochrane and we were really looking forward to the incredible view of the mountains but it was a grey cloudy day with no visibility at all. I cannot express enough how incredibly beautiful our pictures turned out! It has taken us forever to pick which ones to display because they are all so good!
They caught amazing candid shots us of all our guests. There were really unique and pretty shots of the venue, decor, and outside including a lightning storm! We had a big black-light dance party at the end of the night and we now have phenomenal pictures of everyone dancing and having a good time, as well as our friends and the groom DJing. Every single picture was clear, focused, and well done. Quinn and Eric made us look so good from getting ready in my messy bedroom and the groom in a camping trailer, making the bubbles at our outdoor ceremony look like absolute magic, taking both funny and romantic pictures, working with the day and setting, and capturing all sorts of different lighting and lightning. There was not a moment I can think of that we do not have a picture of. They were patient, kind, and courteous and I am so grateful to have had the privilege of having them with us on our big day. Thank you Quinn and Eric for helping us create and capture so many beautiful memories!

Thanks so much for your review, Liz! You guys are amazing and I love how you planned the details of your day to reflect who you are. One of the greatest joys of my job is being able to witness and celebrate the uniqueness of each of my couples. And I'll never forget the lightning storm shots we were able to get at the end of the night! Cheers!
