Its always difficult when you're seeking out wedding professionals for an out of town wedding. You learn to trust websites such as the knot, or wedding wire for a company that has received great reviews and appeals to your wedding budget. Well, if anyone is looking for a fantastic photojournalistic wedding photographer on a reasonable budget Laura Scheidt from Exclamation Imagery is your girl!
I recently had Laura shoot my January 16th wedding at the Villa in Maryland and she did an amazing job! Laura's pictures were gorgeous...she captures the wedding from a view point that tells "your story" and I can tell you she doesn't miss any of the important moments or even those ones that you as the bride miss b/c you're running around trying to entertain all your guests!! She was both professional and personable, as soon as she arrived at the venue I told her that my guests would be a rowdy crowd and she handled them w/ such ease. Her assistant Alicia and she were there for 9 hours from the minute I started getting ready to the very end of the reception. She was taking photos constently yet not in a way that made you feel as though there was a flash in your face the entire time.
If you live in the VA, Maryland, DC area please please check out Exclamation Imagery ...you will not be dissappointed. The pictures she has online are a great showcase of her incredible work. I only hope some of mine will make it on there!! You get the rights to all your images and an online gallery and photobook as well...she works quickly and will always respond to your questions in a timley manner. I would highly recommend her to any bride~!
Thank you Laura for capturing my wedding as a piece of art...every picture is one we will cherish for years to come.
