| - We hired Neil for a wedding* based on his portfolio and great referrals. I had also had the privilege of seeing a lot of his work on his blog and in galleries.
The process was a breeze. Neil provided us with the easy-to-read contract and was always available to answer any questions. We arranged a meeting for the bride to meet Neil before the wedding date so that we could figure out a schedule for the big day. The bride was super-easy-going and didn't have too much on her wishlist, so Neil was helpful with making suggestions. The groom loved Neil's urban decay shots and wanted some "rustic" backgrounds, which is one of Neil's specialties.
Neil was very helpful and organized. He even had solutions for sneaking shots before the wedding ceremony but not allowing the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress. He did research as to when the sun would be setting that day so that we could plan accordingly.
On the day of the wedding, Neil showed up with his 2nd shooter, Sai Kit Chu, a little early to meet the family. While he was supposed to be off-duty and just enjoying lunch, of course Neil took out his equipment and got some great shots. Neil and Sai fit right into the family. It didn't even seem like there were photographers around. For the most part, Neil and Sai took candid shots.
When it came to the posed shots, Neil and Sai were very patient. Things don't always happen on time for a wedding and they were very understanding. They were able to get all the necessary shots in and still keep us relatively on schedule. When our time was running out at the end of the night, Neil found me to discuss the options. Luckily, both Neil and Sai were available to stay a little while longer - even though it had already been a long day and they had a long commute home.
Side note: Neil is so addicted to photography that after he got home that same night, on one of the foggiest nights ever, he went shooting some more. Crazy.
I was most impressed by how quickly Neil edited and delivered the photos. I had the CDs in my hands in less than 2 weeks. Amazing. The bride and groom and the rest of the family were thrilled at the quality of the shots and were surprised at some of the moments they were able to capture.
A day later I got a message from Neil telling me that he put a sample book together. Once it came in and I browsed it, I fell in love with it. Neil has a gift of telling a story with his photos. I ordered a copy for the bride and surprised her with it. She loves it!
Thanks for everything, Neil!
