I am absolutely thrilled that my husband and I picked Barnyard Photography to photograph our wedding. Not only do we have absolutely gorgeous photographs - and in record time, especially compared to other photographers - but we made a friend in Ben Yanis, the owner of Barnyard Photography. Ben is a wonderful, funny, friendly person who we clicked with immediately. We didn't feel like we were hiring some stranger - after one meeting/"interview", we walked away absolutely sure that we would book Barnyard because we were so happy with Ben and his work. He took a lot of time with us to show us his work studio, his previous work, the photo editing process, etc. He even showed us the work he does with Field of Screams in Mountville, PA, where he even managed to take "gorgeous" pictures of horrific scenes!
Throughout the planning process, Ben was very communicative, and truly went above and beyond, offering us all kinds of advice about the wedding beyond just photography, most of which we hadn't even thought of. He was generous with his time, as well as with his ideas and experience - and he has a lot of both!
We hired two photographers for the wedding - and we were lucky to have Ben personally photograph the big day, as well as one of his photographers, David. Both Ben and David were extremely friendly, professional, and creative. They showed up on time - actually before I even got there! We chose to do the "first look" photos, which were well worth it. We had plenty of time for many creative shots on the grounds of the manor. I would definitely suggest giving them enough time for them to work their magic, because the pictures were beautiful. Ben and David took thousands of photos throughout the event. They even set up a special spot for us before the reception began, where they backlit us and created some absolutely breathtaking, magical, romantic shots. They shot many documenting photos, with beautiful still-lifes of the dress and accessories, the rings, the cake, etc. They also took wonderful candids and posed photographs. Everything was just beautiful!
So in summary, I would highly, highly recommend Barnyard Photography. Not only are they friendly and willing to go to great lengths to make you a very happy customer, but they are unbelievably reasonably priced, they get the photos to you SO quickly, they are creative, and their photographs are breathtaking. They offer their help and advice, I will be recommending Barnyard to everyone that I know needs a photographer for an event, or for their maternity photos, which also look gorgeous!
Thank you Ben and David!!
