After hearing a glowing review from a friend/happy bride, we quickly scheduled an appointment at Faith West Photography. From the first appointment, we knew that we could trust Faith West Photography to capture all the precious moments and memories of the day. We went on to meet with two additional wedding photography companies, just for the purpose of comparison, and nothing we saw even came close to the superior picture quality produced by Faith West Photography. (As an aside for interested brides: there's an awesome financial incentive for signing with FWP within 10 days of your initial meeting - so keep this in mind!)
We selected Faith West as our photographer after meeting with her individually and seeing the quality of her pictures. She takes amazing pictures, and just when you think it can't get any better, she shows you how they look after she spends 10-12 hours touching them up in Photoshop! Through her photographic skill and artistry, she really made our wedding looks magazine-worthy! Her professionalism is surpassed only by her artistry. She is incredibly organized, and requests that you schedule a phone meeting to discuss the details of the wedding day months in advance. If you schedule this meeting for more than 3 months before your wedding day, you receive additional images in your album - another big incentive! During this phone meeting, you and Faith work together to create a VERY detailed schedule of the day (literally down to 15 and 30 minute intervals). This may seem a bit overwhelming at the time, but trust me when I say that it ultimately makes your life much easier! I'm a planner, and having this detailed schedule so far in advance really helped me wrap my mind around the day. It was also immensely helpful as I worked with other vendors; I knew when I needed to have my hair and make-up down, when the flowers needed to be delivered, etc. all thanks to the schedule! During this meeting you will also discuss your "must have" pictures (i.e. your family + groom, bride & groom + all siblings, whatever pictures you don't want her to miss).
On our wedding day, Faith was extremely punctual (not an easy feat at 7 a.m.!) and professional. She took control, kept us on schedule, and took beautiful pictures in the process! Faith recommended taking all of our posed shots before the ceremony, and we are so glad that we took her advice! We didn't have the pressure of waiting guests, which allowed us to have fun and enjoy some "us" time before the day started to get busy. Once the wedding began, Faith was completely unobtrusive. I have heard of guests complaining about wedding photographers blocking their view or getting in their way, and I can proudly say that our guests had none of these complaints! Faith and her assistants quietly took wonderful ceremony and reception pictures, and never interfered!
The pictures were mailed to us when promised, and they were just as gorgeous as we had hoped! To top it all off, we own the digital copies of each and every beautiful image (no watermark or anything), so they are ours forever to print, share, frame, etc.! This is huge and very unique! Overall, working with Faith West and her staff has been a very positive experience. We would highly recommend Faith West Photography to anyone looking for high quality wedding photos from a professional and friendly staff!
