My husband and I hired Tate to shoot our proposal, engagement, and wedding. We definitely agree this was the best choice we could've made because, WOW, he is amazing at what he does.

Tate was able to pose us so well for our photos, and I could tell he really cared about the outcome when he would slightly adjust us to create the photo he envisioned. He knew how to take advantage of all three locations we shot at to create photos beautifully framed by the foreground and background.

I also want to add that he participated in my husband's surprise proposal that I 100% fell for. They had planned it so that I was unsuspecting until the right moment, and I really appreciated how Tate played along in order to make it that much more special when my husband proposed.

All of our photos were masterfully taken and edited- we are so happy with them! I immediately started printing and framing them as soon as they were sent our way. I know it sounds like Tate is our friend and we're just hyping him up. To be honest, before shooting with him we didn't know him, but now we feel like we are genuinely friends. His excitement for us, our story and our future (even though he has already connected with countless couples before us) was so sweet to see. Tate is kind, friendly, and such a joyful person. He wasn't just down to business- he loves to connect with his clients. It truly was beneficial as well, because on our wedding day, we already felt comfortable in front of the camera and with him. This made it less nerve-wracking as we anticipated the events of our big day.

Tate helped us decide the best timing of our photos day-of based on the sunlight at that time of year. He then scoped out the location so that he was prepared with where to take us during our golden hour couple photos. Something we really appreciated about Tate is that he went above and beyond on our wedding day- not only with our photos, but the planning that went behind them and the way he interacted with us and our wedding party. He knew that we wanted a God-centered wedding, so he had our bridesmaids and groomsmen pray with us before the ceremony, which we loved so much. He even gave a little extra incentive to the wedding party to make their reception entrances more fun! He even danced with us on the dance floor while capturing all of the precious moments of our day!

Twenty-four hours later, my husband and I received a (large) sneak peak at our fully edited wedding photos, and let me just say- that was awesome. We loved looking through them together and sending them to our families the day after our wedding. When the time came that we received the rest of our wedding photos, we were shocked at how many Tate took and edited for us. We know that he didn’t necessarily have to edit them all, but he went ahead and gave us so many stunning photos that we will truly treasure forever. I'm sure it was not an easy task sorting through and editing as many as he did, but we are so thankful. His work was not rushed but artfully done. The results were beautiful.

All that to say, my husband and I are not going to shut up about how much we loved our photographer. We have already recommended Tate to our friends getting married soon, and he is even shooting my sister-in-law's wedding this year! So do not hesitate to book him for your engagement and wedding; he will capture all the beautiful moments to be remembered forever.
