When I started planning my wedding, I knew the one thing that I could not compromise on was the photographer… From the moment I stumbled upon Joyce and Randy’s website, I knew I had found the ones. Their vision and perspective was totally unique, and seemed to change and adapt with each wedding they shot. The composition and presentation of their work was completely unparalleled- elegant and refined, but with a contemporary flair and a fascination with the unusual. Basically, I could tell that they could see and capture the moments that no one else would, and those are the moments that truly capture the essence of any special day.
After meeting them mere hours before the ceremony, I had full confidence that I had made the right decision. They were warm, friendly, and non intrusive, and made me and my husband feel completely comfortable as they snapped away… They fit right in with our small, quirky group of friends and family, and laughed and joked with us all evening long. By the time they left, we felt that they were just as much guests of our wedding as photographers!
The pictures, as expected, were breath-taking. On an overcast, misty afternoon, they had managed to take perfectly-lit, stunning shots of everything from preparations and decorations to candid moments of our newlywed bliss. Each picture was more beautiful than the next. Needless to say, I would more than highly recommend J.Perlman R.Lutge photography to anyone, and I will always be truly grateful to them for making my special day something magical that I can relive and share for the rest of my life.
