As any bride can tell you, when planning a wedding, there are million things to plan and think about and then theres another million things you didn't even know you had to plan and think about. The bridal stress that almost every bride will experience at some point in her planning usually results from trying to get everything to come together to create your perfect day: the food, music, flowers, photographer, the dress, the bridesmaids dresses....the list goes on and on. Working with many different people and trying to coordinate every detail can be overwhelming. Thirteenth Moon Photography was the biggest blessing my husband and I were given for our wedding. Read on...
Like most brides, the photographer was definitely at the top of my priorities and one of the few areas I would be flexible with our budget. Our wedding was in Disney World, FL and we live in Ohio, so much of our planning with vendors had to be done via phone or email. I contacted multiple photographers in the area and researched each and every review site and portfolio I could find. When I came across Thirteenth Moon Photography's website, I loved their style---and their prices! I emailed Rachel and within minutes (yes, minutes) she had emailed me back. Her bubbly and kind spirit was immediately evident even in just her email response. She was so excited for the opportunity to discuss my wedding with her...it was obvious she has a passion for what she does. We discussed the details on the phone shortly after our email exchange and I fell in love with her instantly! Within a few days, she had mailed me a super organized folder with details for our wedding as well as our contract. I still can't get over how affordable their packages are and what we received for our money. It's definitely the best investment I've ever made and probably will ever make.
Four months before the wedding, my husband and I were going to be traveling to Disney for our planning session and we wanted to use the opportunity to meet with our vendors in person. We were literally only going to be in the area for less than 72 hours. Rachel and Bill worked with us to, not only travel to our hotel to meet with us, but to also travel with us to multiple sites so that we could take our engagement photos! During our photoshoot, Bill and Rachel made us feel so comfortable and by the end of the session, we honestly felt like they had become our good friends. Within a few days, our engagement photos were on the Thirteenth Moon website and they were STUNNING! I couldn't believe how beautiful they turned out! It really solidified that I had made the right choice and now, I couldn't wait to see how the wedding pictures would turn out. Within a week, I had all of the edited photos on a disk. Super fast!
In the months leading up to our wedding, the best communication I had with any vendor was with Thirteenth Moon. They were so dependable with their communication and no matter what I needed or what ridiculous idea or question I had, Bill and Rachel were there with a super fast response. A few weeks before the wedding, Thirteenth Moon sent me a planning list with how the timing of the day would go as well as my "dream photo" wish list for me to fill out. They helped me organize my day more so than my actual wedding planner did!
When my husband and I left for Orlando a few days before our wedding, I was so excited to see Rachel and Bill again! It felt like I was getting together with old friends. Since we weren't going to use the bridal shower/trash the dress session included in our photo package, Thirteenth Moon agreed to meet us in Epcot in Disney World to take casual photos of our families as we traveled "around the world." Right away, both of our families could see why we had been raving about our photographers for the past few months. Rachel and Bill quickly became a part of our family and everyone loved them! What an incredible couple!
When the big day came, I was so thankful to have Thirteenth Moon there. They had the timeline with them the entire day and they kept everything running smoothly and seamlessly. Our package was an all-day package and I'm so happy we chose it! Thirteenth Moon captured the entire day beautifully. I can actually go through my wedding photos and I feel like I am re-living the entire day. Each picture brings an emotional response and the angles, lighting, and compositions are breath-taking! One of the most incredible things, I didn't even realize they were taking half of the pictures they took! Rachel and Bill were so behind-the-scenes. I've attended weddings where photographers really make their presence known (for better or worse) and the pictures always look stiff and unnatural. Our wedding photographs are so relaxed and authentic looking. Its hard for me to even find the words to describe just how beautiful they turned out. I'm actually getting tears as I write this review and reflect back on them.
I can't say enough great things about this photographer. I feel like any compliment or praise I sing does not even come close to describing how incredible Thirteenth Moon Photography is. What Rachel and Bill have given to our family is such a blessing. They have not only given us the gift of timeless, gorgeous wedding photos, but they have also given us their friendship. I know you will not be disappointed with their work. Anyone can take pictures, but it takes talented artists to capture those amazing moments in life and when they can do it with loving personalities and kind hearts, it makes it that much more incredible.
