Here’s what Pam and Gabe had to say about our team after the event (via their Google reviews):

 

Six Hearts Photography:

“There were so many photographers in the Atlanta area when we were planning our wedding. This was one of our more stressful decisions, especially when you realize these photos will be one of the few things you have to remember your wedding. We received quotes from various photographers, but after meeting with Schellie, it was a no-brainer. She was easy to talk to, and honestly, she was the most reasonably priced photographer we spoke with. A lot of the other photographers don’t even give you all the pictures that they take and charge you extra if you want them. They also may not cover your whole wedding day unless you pay more for extra hours. This just didn’t make sense to us.

On the other hand, Six Hearts gives you what you pay for. They gave us a ton of pictures (edited and all)! We got a package that covered our engagement shoot with Schellie, and on the wedding day, we got work with Schellie and William for basically the entire day. It was great having Schellie with me and William with my husband while we were getting ready for the big day. We were lucky to have found them! They were amazing to work with, and they captured a ton of great moments. If we ever need photographers in the future, we are definitely going to be using them again. Anyone who hires them will never regret that decision.” – Pam

“My wife and I used William and Schellie for our wedding in April and could not be more pleased with the results. They were with us most of the day and were super-cool to hang out with. They were really friendly, and, after a while, we felt ultra comfortable (like they weren’t even there). Definitely recommend.” – Gabe

Squid Wed:

“When we were initially planning our wedding, we were not sure if we wanted a videographer, but after talking with Schellie about the Far Out Galaxy Package, we decided to try it out. We worked with Steven and couldn’t be happier! He worked with a second videographer for the ceremony and manned the rest of the wedding on his own. The quality of work that they did far exceeded our expectations. It is definitely one of the best decisions we made for our special day!” – Pam

“My wife and I used Steven for our wedding in April and could not be more pleased with the results. Steven and his assistant put together an amazing video (in addition to three other videos) that perfectly summarizes our big day. He was friendly, on time, and captured our wedding better than we could have imagined. The entire far out galaxy crew is certainly worth the cost.” – Gabe

Robot Booth:

“RobotBooth is by far the best photo booth company we have ever used! We had been to a handful of weddings before our own and used so many different booths, but after my cousin’s wedding, we knew that RobotBooth was the best choice. They give you so many options for backgrounds and props, and the music video and guestbook are great takeaways. You cannot go wrong with them!” – Pam

“Easy to book. Easy to customize. Easy to work with. All around a great experience. Stop reading reviews and book the RobotBooth, you won’t regret it.” – Gabe

DJ Cuttlefish:

“Day was great. We wanted the music to flow with the emotions throughout our wedding day, and Day definitely delivered. He was really accommodating with our playlist and requests. He was super professional and did not require any handholding or censoring. Class act through and through.” – Pam and Gabe

Heya, brides!

We’re sure you’ve seen a bajillion posts on how to find the best wedding dress for you – how to decide which shade of White, how to budget, deciding your dress code, how to discover your body shape, yadda yadda yadda.

Well, we’re here to give you just a little bit of advice from a photographers perspective.

Now, we’re no professional fashionistas, dress designers, or shop owners, so take us at face value, but hey, we think we’ve got some good opinions.

Before you buy your wedding outfit, here are 5 simple and sweet things to do:

1. Sit down in your dress. Please. Are you comfortable?

2. Try on undergarments with the dress, preferably the ones you plan on wearing. Bras poking out of your wedding dress is not hot. We guess this could also be an after you purchase the dress thing (but totally before you wear it).

3. Wear it for a while before purchasing – walk around the store. Are you comfortable?

4. Know what you’re going for but follow your heart. Corny, right?

5. Know that you totally don’t even have to get a traditional wedding dress. Like, seriously. You want a pink jumpsuit instead? DO IT. Same rules apply.

Until next time!

XOXO
