Dear Traci,
Heidi sent me the pictures from the wedding and I cried. Especially when I saw the very last photo of the 2 of them kissing over the bed in the hotel room! Niagara Falls...hehehehe!

I am so happy I met you. You are such an amazing person and an amazing photographer! I have been to a lot of weddings and I have seen a lot of wedding photo's but yours? They are the icing on the cake. Congratulations! How can I purchase photos? I think there were 756 I wanted to buy! :-)
I also saw the photo of Heidi, Cam and I on your Website. I was very very honored. I hope we can all hang out again soon. I love meeting new people and making new friends. I have heard about you for years and I wish I would have met you years ago!

I originally found Traci through the Orange Photography collective and was most impressed with her portfolio.

WHY SHE ROCKS: Her portfolio says it all. She captures such a varied range of emotions. Incredibly romantic imagery that goes beyond the same standard shots. Expressive post-processing that recaptures that vintage feel.

SERVICE: We were on a moderate budget and the photography was our splurge item, but finding photographers that were under $3500 (and met our picky demands in terms of portfolio quality) was tough. We were able to negotiate a custom package deal that fit our needs. After we signed, Traci was out of the country for much of the time that I was engaged, but was easily accessible when she returned. We were squeezed for time when it came to formal portraits for reasons outside of our control, but Traci and her assistant made the most of the limited schedule to get the shots we requested. She also played nice with my videographer and with other guests who were playing photographer and wielding their own chunky DSLRs.

PRINTS: We got a 6-month online gallery for our wedding photos. Traci uses Pictage and while their website isn't the pinnacle of online photo viewing/management, it was easy to order hard prints. I don't know what lab did the work, but we were very happy with how the prints came out. We ordered as small as 4" x 6" to as large as 12" x 18" -- they were delivered promptly in a sturdy flat pack and are beautiful to behold on paper.

Amazing photographer.

We recently got our wedding photos and I literally cried when I saw the web slideshow that Traci put together--they were that beautiful. The portfolio she had shared with us was outstanding, so we knew she was a great photographer. But the photos she shot of our wedding far surpassed our expectations. We shared the web slideshow (which Traci set to music) with our friends and the response was incredible--yeah, a few people said we, the couple, looked good, but EVERYONE commented on how beautiful and artistic the photos were; people wrote how lucky we were to have these photos, and we got several well-meaning "I'm so jealous of your wedding photos!" The webshow was a great way to share the pictures with everyone--especially those who couldn't make it--since it was short (only a few minutes) and yet it narrated the whole wedding. People LOVED it. The postproduction work Traci did on the photos was beautiful; she did some gorgeous black and whites as well as color. It's worth mentioning that we were on a pretty tight budget and Traci's prices are really reasonable. We worked out a package that suited us perfectly.

But what we loved most about Traci was her bright personality and professionalism. She was upbeat and friendly--our families loved her . She handled the formals brilliantly and efficiently, keeping everyone focused, having fun, and smiling big for the camera. Her assistant was also wonderful with our family and guests. Even as they were incredibly friendly, they were also completely non intrusive.

In short, we are extremely happy with our decision to hire her. We will be forever grateful to her for capturing our day so beautiful and helping us remember it so vividly.

Traci photographed our wedding three years ago and she was FANTASTIC - I couldn't imagine anyone else doing a better job.

Her portfolio is awesome because she takes amazing photos of whatever she is shooting. She's incredibly professional, thorough, friendly, and easy to work with. She works really hard to give you the product and experience you want to have and delivers it on top of being a creative, amazing, and beautiful photographer.

The slide shows set to music that she puts together are really very special and do a great job of capturing the time line and essence of the day. I hate being video'd so we opted out of having the wedding taped and am SO GLAD we did that. Traci's slide show was beautiful and more than enough to show the feeling and progression of the day. It's also a great memento to quickly show people your wedding w/o making them sit through a 30+minute video.

SO many people commented on how great our wedding photos were and was the best thing I spent money on that day, by far. I even have a friend who loved my wedding photos so much, she has Traci take photos of her family every year now.

I really cannot recommend Traci highly enough and know that everyone else who hires her will be as pleased as I was and am.

Hi Traci!


JP and I want to THANK YOU again for all your time and hard work at our wedding! You were so comfortable to be around and you captured so many amazing moments!

We're so impressed how you were both able to be among us, yet not be invasive or too noticeable. When we got some pictures from friends and family, we noticed that one of you were usually in their pictures, taking pictures, which really makes us happy because we know that as much as you weren't noticeable, you were truly present!

We are looking so forward to seeing the final products in person!!! It was an AMAZING day and we can't wait to relive it through your photos!!!

Hope everything is going well with you! Look forward to seeing you again soon!

I wanted to tell you that we have received so many good comments about the photos. Leslie said they were "the best wedding photos she has ever seen." And yes...Craig and I plan to be at her wedding. It will be a fun crowd and Leslie has great, unique taste... so it should be a good day... and it would be fun to hang out with you if you came!

Oh and I thought you might want to hear what some of my friends said about your work:

"You must be so pleased with these pictures! They are amazing, and I think they truly capture what a wonderful celebration it was!"

"this photog is AMAZING!!!!! good lord. i need to use her for something, anything."

"gorgeous! loved the shots of pascale and liam (of course) and the photog did a great job with the shots of you and craig, and the dancing. what a beautiful wedding."

"those photographs are breathtaking. i totally started to cry looking at those pics of you
and craig in the grapevines."

Have a good weekend.
