I cannot put into words how grateful I am that we booked Ernst & Co. as our wedding photographer. Not only is her work amazing – but she was so much more than a photographer on our wedding day.
Let me paint the full picture for you and start by saying I was thee Type A Bride. I had everything planned out to the T. Sam and Santana showed up to the getting ready room and started taking the detail shots as I finished getting ready, when I was done I went over to them and I was like “oh did you see this, did you shoot that?” Sam knew my vision and had already taken pictures of all the things that I hoped she would.
Getting into my wedding dress was a task – internal corset and 1 million buttons going down the back. Sam helped me in and out of that sucker when my sister and my mom could not do it!
Now for the story/wedding events that left my entire wedding party in awe of Ernst & Co. Photography. Myself and my husband had just finished our first look and Sam looks at me straight face, no bullshit, and says “okay, I need to know what photos you want taken outside, because those photos need to happen now” (It had been overcast all day but it wasn’t supposed to rain until 7:30-8:00 that night.) I told her that realistically I didn’t want any indoor shots but if we had to pick, I wanted the bridal party photos outside. We got all of those done and just as we finished a giant drop of rain fell on my arm.
We rushed inside as the sky opened and a total downpour started 3 hours early and roughly an hour before our ceremony was set to start. It felt like everything I had been planning was for nothing. That’s when Sam stepped up and helped us come up with a plan. We were moving the ceremony up 45 mins and getting married in the rain. My ENTIRE wedding party said if they didn’t know Sam was the photographer they would’ve swore she was with the venue coordination team. She was a crucial part of why I didn’t crumble under the pressure of having to move our ceremony up 45 minutes and doing it in a total downpour. I am so glad we decided to move forward with the ceremony in the rain because man, those photos are EVERYTHING!!
Other important points to hit on;
• Sam and Santana are just a blast to work with. They were cracking jokes left and right and the vibes were not stuffy by any means.
• They came with everything the bridal party could need; someone asked for a bobby pin, Sam already had it ready to go. Body tape, yup. Safety pin, yup.
• Their work speaks for itself, see photos below!

We worked with Santana for our engagement shoot and the day of our wedding. She instantly made us feel comfortable and worked with our goofy personalities. She had such a huge role in our special day and it really felt like we were working with a friend. We got our sneak peek 3 days after the wedding and the photos were absolutely breathtaking. We can't wait to get the whole lot and have a viewing party. We can't recommend this team enough.

Samantha was a pleasure to work with. She perfectly captured our wedding. She went above and beyond for us to make sure everything was amazing. Her attention to detail is impeccable! My wife and I cannot recommend her services enough.
