You simply won't find a better photographer. David Barron has such an amazing talent, both artistically and technically. His are not your run-of-the-mill wedding photos. They run the gamut from the traditional to the artistic. On top of that, he is so personable and so much fun to work with. He makes everyone feel at ease and comfortable in front of this camera. We were so impressed and happy with the engagement photos that Ryan's mom hired him to do family portraits of their soon-to-be-larger family. These were just as amazing as we had anticipated. And then it came time for the Bridal portraits. After two portrait sessions, our expectations were very high. And as high as they were, he surpassed them! Our favorite actually left people speechless with their jaw dropped. Once they could speak, most of them simply said "Breathtaking!" Or they would gasp and say "Oh my! That is amazing!" Of course, all of this was building up to the Big Day! The wedding photos captured our beach wedding to perfection. We let him choose the time for the ceremony to begin so he would have wonderful light. And the sunset cooperated beautifully. People want to know if the post-ceremony photos are in front of a backdrop because the sunset was so dazzling. No, the sky actually looked like that and Dave captured the sunset just perfectly. At the reception, it seemed he was always in the right spot at the right time. He was able to capture the emotions of the evening as well as the fun.
John Fletcher of SMART Video is a reasonably priced videographer who delivers a product that far surpasses what one would expect for the price. Not only that, he is also so easy to work with. He delivered an hour and a half video that captured every moment of our big day, from escorting parents and grandparents of the bride and groom down the aisle to the limo whisking us away from the reception with a "Just Married" sign on the back. Actually, since he had to be in Galveston earlier in the day anyway, he decided to arrive early and take video of us getting ready at the hotel. Thank you, John, for adding that little extra. His choice of music for the video added so much as well. He also worked with our photographer to add wedding photos into the mix here and there, a wonderful addition to the video. We will enjoy reliving every emotion of that hectic, fun, chaotic, beautiful, and meaningful day for many years to come.
