Jul 15, 2021 Report
We used Contemporary Image Photographers for both photography and videography for our 6/10/2021 wedding. Emil, Michelle and Dru were amazing. It was so fun to spend the day with them from getting ready through our reception. I was in awe of how hard they worked with contagious energy throughout our wedding day. They captured so many special moments for us. I have gone back and looked at all of the photos so many times because they are just so good. I couldn't recommend them more!
