From our Clients:

“I had several conversations with Libby leading up to my wedding for Libby to really dive into my style, my top priorities, a list of all wedding party and guest photos, and everything in between. I felt so confident and stress free going into my wedding weekend knowing Libby was on top of everything and getting all the shots even when I wasn’t around.

My guests raved about how well Libby gave direction for their photos, and how comfortable they felt in front of her camera. She also brought a drone to get amazing aerial shots that got everyone so hyped up! Those became some of our and our guests’ favorite images of the weekend.

Libby has an insane work ethic. She provided us with over 300 previews just five days after the wedding. We were in awe that these were just the previews, and how quickly she edited them. We’re constantly being told that our photos look like they are straight out of a magazine. I cannot recommend Libby enough! She is truly one of one, and she will make you feel like the center of the universe — and you will look it too in her photos!”

“I can’t tell you how much fun my husband and I had getting our pictures taken when we normally shy away from the camera. From the way she directs you to pose and the way she is able to make the experience fun is something we will never forget!

Their warmth, care, and attention to detail made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, and the photos reflect that. We will cherish these photos forever, and we can’t recommend them enough. If you’re looking for more than just a photographer, but someone who genuinely cares about your story, look no further. Libby and Caleb truly are the greatest!”
