Jaqui Shumate Photography

Jaqui was great, and her husband Travis turned out to be an excellent second shooter. Our wedding was captured beautifully through their skill. The one drawback I would add is that some of our "formals" -- the posed family pictures in front of the altar-- were not that great. She seems inexperienced with staging 20-40 people in an altar area, and I would ask her to bring a ladder, and allot more than an hour for these photos if you are doing these pictures indoors so there is no rush to get everyone staged so that no heads are blocked, etc. In looking at other weddings she has shot since then, I'm still amazed by her talent. And she does not seem to have trouble staging large groups of people outside. While outdoor weddings are definitely her forte, our indoor wedding in a dark, old church still resulted in beautiful pictures through Jaqui's skill.
