(Part 2 of 2)
Every part of the day I was very present, until the reception. I knew that thing would FLY by because it was so freaking fun. From the amazing 3 minute-grand entrance- dance party, to speeches, to father-son choreographed dances, to garter tosses and then shots and more dancing, Jackie and her girls didn't. miss. a. thing. They knew what was important to us about the day because they built a relationship with us. It was all very organic and not at all administrative. Around 10:30/11PM (way past the time we had paid for), Jackie came to say goodbye and I really did feel like I was saying goodbye to a valued guest of our wedding. I cannot say enough good things about her.
(Rebecca and Jennifer also shot the wedding - Rebecca was so good at highlighting the fun parts of the boys and did the photos they wanted - the photos she took are a true reflection of the fun morning that the boys had. Jennifer was a lot of fun at the bridals with the bridal party and was interacting with everyone - it just makes the whole day a big party! She also was our photobooth photographer and never had anything but a SMILE on her face. By the end of the photobooth, a lot of us were
looking a little... sloppy and she had so much fun with it! The photos are hilarious to look at. I never got a bad vibe from her that she was at work - she just looked like she was having fun with us all!)
Now, this enough can convince someone how awesome Standout is, because I believe the relationship with a vendor who works with you directly for so long is priority, BUT, the photo editing process and printing.... man it's all so professional. Jackie has taken hours with us to recommend what photos to print and what sizes would look good where in our house.... from A to Z, she covers it all. They also really compliment the scenery in their photos - their editing process (which I assume is pretty minimal because they spend a lot of time working on lighting day-of to get some real cool shots) ... anyways, their editing process doesn't take away from the colors of structure of the photo. They embrace the natural aspects of the photo and I love that - our wedding day was amazing weather with glorious autumn fall colours - and the photos said nothing but that.
If you've made it this far, I'm not sure why you haven't called their office yet! We'll hands down be returning for all our family photo needs - and all my friends want her as their wedding photographer!
