Eagle Eye Photography, LLc

Eagle Eye Photography LLC were absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail and their love for their career were what impressed me the most. They jumped right in our family and it just felt like they were one of us. They have such a creative eye that the pictures just kept coming. Every shot was diffferent and they captured every moment in just the right way. I would absolutely reccomend Katie and Rutsen to any one of my friends and already have done so! I could not have dreamt up a more perfect pair to be their on that day!

Katie and Rutsen went beyond our expectations! They made our day even more special even before the big day came around! As the future bride of a groom who almost never got caught smiling in pictures I was concerned about getting good pictures on our wedding day- before the wedding even came we did some engagement shots and wouldn't you know that Katie and Rutsen got him to smile within the first few pictures! They are more than incredibly talented photographers, they are amazing people. I consider myself so lucky to have found them and highly recommend them to anyone!

Katie & Rutsen made our rainy, special day- a sunny one. Even though it was pouring down rain, our pictures couldn't have been better. I loved their abstract pictures, especially of the still life's-like my shoes, our cake & wedding rings. I also enjoyed how Katie & Rutsen each became our shadow as we were preparing for our wedding. Some of those moments are the most precious ones. Lastly, since it did pour on our wedding day, Katie & Rutsen met back up with us after our honeymoon at our wedding site for those portraits & blue skies we missed that day. Their expertise & great eye made our wedding album non ending. We loved them all! Thanks again for all you did & we would definitely recommend you 2 to all our friends & family.

We loved Katie and Rutsen. They were a joy to work with and very pleasant to have around on your wedding day. They were extremely flexible when my wedding plans changed almost completely overnight and came to the rescue in a big way. It was also a huge benefit to have two photographers at the same time with the ability to capture the groom and the bride at seperate times in seperate places.

Our pictures are incredible and much different than your typical wedding portraits. If you are after the basic boring, staged shot, they may not be the best fit. If you want pictures that are more like artwork than what your average snap and shoot can take, you will not be disappointed. We had been dating for 10 years so we had plenty of smiling poised pictures. If you want something of more a conversation piece, go with Eagle Eye.

(You also get all your own digital pics on CDs so you do not need to worry about all your family members getting printed photos, just copy them the pics and tell them to do it)

Katie and Rutsen were the photographers for my sister's wedding back in October 2007. So, when I got engaged the following February, I knew that I wanted them to photograph my wedding. They are so good! They take amazing pictures, very creative and not your standard pose and portrait pictures. Plus, they are so flexible, personable and fun! They made all of us so comfortable (my bridal party loved them!) and were fun to have at the wedding. They took us to some great places at our reception site to get some very cool shots. I don't think most photographers would track through the mud down to a bridge to get that perfect shot! They also took my husband across this field, down to the barn, and got him up on a horse (in his tuxedo) for some more great shots. I love all the pictures from our wedding and loved having Katie and Rutsen as our photographers. I had several guests after the wedding ask me who our photographer was because they were so impressed!

There are just not enought words to descibe how happy we were with Katie and Rusten. We first met them at a friends wedding and loved their personalities. After seeing her pictures I knew there was no one else I wanted to do our wedding pictures. They put their spin on the normal boring pictures. I was very pleaased with our wedding pictures. they are 1000 times better that I had thought they would be. I would reccomend them to anyone and my brother is getting married in March and using them too.

I very much enjoyed working with Katie and Rusten. They have a creative eye like no other! They were able to take our wedding day and make it a lasting memory!

We were very lucky to get Rutsen from Eagle Eye Photography for our wedding. We asked alot of him, and he went even further. Our location was an Island in Mexico, and on the day he was supposed to fly out, his flight was cancelled. Instead of calling me (who was completely stressed anyway) he and his assistant drove 3 hours to another airport and made sure they were there in time for the rehearsal dinner. They were self sufficient, on time and took amazing photos. More than that, my guests loved them. It was such a great value for the price, we completely lucked out. After the wedding and honeymoon, I was a little burned out on all things wedding related, so I waited several months to view my photos. Rutsen understood and extended the time I had to view and choose photos for my album, despite being incredibly busy and in the middle of "Wedding Season." I would highly recommend Eagle Eye Photography for any occasion, because of the quality, professionalism and how simple he made it for us.

Rutsen is very professional and friendly. I have been to many weddings where the photographer was intrusive and the pictures mundane. Not so with Rutsen. He's also an artist. He's very relaxed and does exactly what you asked. You won't be disappointed. And the memories of your wedding are what you have left after the blur of the evening!

Eagle Eye Photography did an amazing job with our wedding, engagement and bridal portraits. Rutsen is the ultimate professional, and has a unique eye for detail and finding the perfect shot. We chose Rutsen, not only because the cost of his service is reasonable and competitive, but also because he showed great enthusiasm for wanting to know us as a couple and making our vision reality. We could not be happier with our pictures and plan to make Eagle Eye an essential part of special events to come.

We could not be more happy that we went with Eagle Eye for our photographer!!! Aside from getting my husband to actually smile in our pictures, Rutsen and Jenny truly added to the fun the entire night. Our friends and family loved them and we would have enjoyed having them there whether they were taking pictures or not! And most importantly, our pictures turned out phenomenal! The night went by so fast, but thankfully Eagle Eye was able to capture the memories!

I can not say enough good things about Rutsen. Not only is he professinal and easy to work with but he completely exceded every expectation we had for our wedding pictures. He captured our day perfectly. I also did a bourdoir shoot with him for my husbands wedding gift. The pictures where amazing and my husband loved the gift!!!

To put it simply Rutsen was Amazing! To put it a little less simply...let me start at the beginning....First Rutsen took time out of his own anniversary to meet with my wife and I because it was the only day we had open. From the first meeting it was clear he is passionate about his job and is all about making his clients dreams come true on their wedding day. Rutsen was available day and night through the planning process as we came up with photo ideas and new ways to make our wedding what we had always wanted. As the big weekend arrived Rutsen made himself available to shoot our rehearsal, rehearsal dinner and the party that night. He then spent the night with us so he could be there to shoot the whole day of the wedding. He did a masterful job of splitting his time between the two halves of the bridal party and was always there to lend his experience or a calming word at just the right moment. He not only took all the pictures we thought we wanted but so many more that only he and his incredible artistic Eye could have captured. He stayed with us all night, constantly lending a helping hand, and even provided a ride for one of our friends to the airport very early the next morning! Honestly by the end of the weekend it felt more like he was part of the family then our photographer. He made everyone feel comfortable and put the whole wedding at ease with his skill, easy going nature, and sense of humor. Every guest and family member at the wedding commented on how impressed they were with Rutsen. We have a few friends and family getting married soon and have highly recommended Rutsen and Eagle Eye Photography to them. Looking back we didn't just have a photographer...we met a friend, and someone we look forward to having be a part of our special moments for years to come.

I was VERY focused on the photography for our wedding. It was more important to me than even The Dress! I like a more creative look with artistic flare. For me, the photography is the only tangible thing you have after the wedding to relive all the memories. Everyone says the wedding will go by so fast, which is absolutely true - even when stretching it over four days at a resort! My then fiancé did not see the value in taking photographers with us for a destination wedding, especially when the resort offered photographers in our package. I was emphatic that we must take our own photographers, as there was no way I could trust a resort photographer to capture our Big Day. And thank goodness we did!Rutsen Eagle is an artistic master! It was his creative eye that drew us to him in the first place. Then his personality wins you over & his technical expertise backs it up. He & his team captured the essense of the place & of course, all our big moments. Do be warned that they are focused on the overall art of the shot, and less focused on your facial expressions - so when they're shooting, be ready all the time!Our wedding was in Mexico & intentionally only a small group of close family & friends. We now definitely consider Rutsen & his team friends. They fit in with our guests perfectly & made everyone comfortable. We have so many great images to go though, it's difficult to narrow it down for the albums. I do recommend carving out as much time as you possibly can to 'let the master work.' We were very focused on spending time with our guests & if there's anything I would change, I would have spent more time shooting with Rut. With our wedding being on 11/11/11 & in a resort area (Nuevo Vallarta), our officiants had 11 (ironic but true) weddings that day so they were about a half an hour late for our ceremony - which threw off our timing & means that we lost a lot more sunlight than planned. Rut, being the pro that he is, had all of his light stands ready to go so we could still get great post-ceremony group shots & portrait shots. Looking back, I should have gotten ready earlier in the day to get time for more pre-ceremony photos. Regardless, our images are beautiful! I'm just addicted now & wish we had even more!We also had Rut do a video for us & it turned out amazing! Personal & beautiful! Captured the essence of our entire experience! Thank you, Rut & Team!!! Keep in touch - you're part of the family now!

Rutsen and Jenny were a blast to work with and we would definitely recommend them!!

"We loved working with Rutsen and Katie!!! They were so easy going and made our wedding day that much more special for us. We love our pictures. Thank you Katie and Rutsen!!!!!

I have to tell you that everyone that sees our pictures loves them!!! You guys made us look so great!!!! I love all the pictures that I have bought. They are wonderful. So again, thank you so very much!!!!! "

"We made the perfect choice having Eagle Eye Photography photograph our wedding. No Bride wants to worry about the wedding pictures, if all the important events at the ceremony and reception will be covered, if the pictures will turn out, if delivery of the pictures will be timely and so on. Rutsen and Katie were professional and very thorough from the moment we first sat down with them to discuss what we wanted in a photographer and what events were important for us to photograph all the way to the finished product. Eagle Eye Photography was the perfect fit for our wedding and gave us everything we wanted and more."

"Rutsen and Katie were terrific and it was wonderful having them as our
photographers. The pictures were beautiful and they were able to get amazing
photographs of perfect moments capturing the magnitude of the day and
evening! We would definitely recommend them!"

"It was such a pleasure to work with you all because you were the one thing that didn't stress me out w/ the wedding plans. You were so easy to work with and seemed to "read my mind" with knowing what I was wanting out of my bridal portrait. It was a great value for the wonderful photographs that were taken. Everyone, including myself, was very impressed w/ the finished product. People are still talking about how great my portrait turned out. Thanks again!"

"We have never seen photographers with more passion and energy than y'all! At both our engagement party and rehearsal dinner y'all were so fun and easy to work with, and the pictures are just wonderful. Y'all really know how to capture the moment - both in posed and candid shots. Thank you for your enthusiasm, hard work and dedication. You have given us pictures we will enjoy for a lifetime!"

"Contracting Eagle Eye photography has been the best decision we've made thus far for our upcoming wedding. Katie and Rutsen have proven to be as generous and friendly as they are talented. We have an overwhelming number of amazing images to choose from for our engagement photo. Every encounter we've had with Katie and Rutsen has been an absolute delight, the hardest part is waiting till our wedding day to see them again."

"I did take some time this weekend to check out your website and the pictures you were talking about last week and they really are incredible. The new editing style displayed in the train station photos and the cadillac photos is really cool. I haven't seen anything like it before. The cadillac pictures feel like they could have been pulled from an 80's music video (that's not a bad thing in my opinon). Very cool stuff. It's a style that further categorizes your work as artists rather then just photographers.

I must admit that my favorite work are the images capturing a frozen moment. Those subtle moments that the human eye overlooks but somehow the Eagle Eye lens manages to capture and expose a truth that would otherwise remain unseen. In these images the hand of the artist is invisible leaving only the humanity of the moment.

Any way just thought I'd throw some feedback your way since you asked.

Keep in touch,

Brian"

"Running into Katie and Rutsen at a "meet the DJ night" was just our luck. I could sense right away that they were sincere, creative and hard working people. Being around Katie and Rutsen is like a breath of fresh air. They are energetic and work so well together. We had an outstanding time during our engagement photos. We felt like superstars and the pictures came out immaculate! It has been a pleasure working with Eagle Eye. Looking forward to our big day and feeling confident in knowing our memories will be captured perfectly!"

"We will forever have beautiful memories of their wedding and your part in creating those memories will always be a part of our lives. Her portrait is incredibly beautiful and the pictures of the rehearsal, hair salon, dressing, ceremony, and reception are so much fun to look at - I don't know how you got some of those shots, but it just shows how creative and skilled you are - I especially want to thank you for how special you made Elizabeth feel during the process."

"Katie and Rutsen are the kind of people you want to invite to your wedding whether they're taking pictures or not. They're friendly and easy to work with and go the extra mile (or three). Add to that the fact that they produce the most beautiful photographs, and you're left with the fact that Eagle Eye Photography is the best in the business, bar none."

"It has been an absolute pleasure working with Rutsen and Katie. I cannot say enough about the care, the attention to detail and the passion that they both put into their work. Rutsen and Katie are exceptional at what they do. They do more than take pictures - they capture experiences. Their pictures are truly works of art. NBC12 is proud to call Eagle Eye Photography the Official Photographer of the NBC12 Dream Wedding. This is a partnership that we hope continues for many years to come."

With an exceptional eye that never seems to miss any moment, and creativity that makes the most of every opportunity, the Eagle Eye team has created some of the most memorable photography we've ever had the pleasure of recommending. Our clients love them!
