  Could not recommend Hopie more highly

  Hopie is not only an incredible photographer, but she made the whole experience fun and stress-free. We absolutely loved our photos and we got our gallery just when she said we would. We got a good number of sample photos the week after, which we weren't expecting and were so thrilled with. Like I said, in addition to the immaculate photos, Hopie is simply the best. She was so thoughtful, kind, helpful, and truly a pleasure to have around for the whole day. We adored her and could not recommend her more highly!

  Hopie is the best!

  We decided to use Hopie as our photographer after I had seen her work at a friends wedding years ago. She did our engagement photos and wedding and we would absolutely use her again! We recommend her to everyone, she is fantastic! Also, the quality of the photos we received back is amazing!

  Hands down best Wedding Photographer

  We had the privledge of not using Hope once but twice because we had a Covid wedding and a one year vow renewal celebration since we had to postpone everything in 2020.
  
  2020 was a hard year for us all, and planning and replanning a wedding was a nightmare. Having Hope there for our intimate ceremony in 2020 was the best. She made us feel so comfortable and so at ease. She has so much experience so I was able to pick her brain about best practices and her advice on various wedding matters.
  
  Our 2021 wedding she, once again, knocked it put of the park. At that wedding we had a second shooter as well and it was great because one concentrated on the men getting ready while the other concentrated on the bridal party. We had a large wedding party (26 total), large families, and a large guest count- was a bit of a “herding cats” situation and they handled it with ease.
  
  Pictures from both weddings are gorgeous and everyone that has seen them has flooded us with compliments.
  
  I’m so appreciative of Hope, her business, and expertise. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to go through all of this Covid wedding planning with.

  Hope is the best photographer- cannot wait to use her again!!!

  Choosing Hope as our wedding photographer was truly one of the best things we did throughout the entire process. She captured our wedding day better than we ever imagined possible! She made us feel very comfortable, and guided us the entire day- but in such a calming manner. We could not have been happier with our photos. She captured not only our energy and happiness perfectly, but also that of our loved ones!

  You need Hope to photograph your wedding!!

  We got married on 10.19.19 on the most beautiful fall day. Hope arrived early and began photographing all the little bits and pieces that we were sure to miss during the hustle and bustle. During the wedding Hope was present, but never in the way and such a calming, intricate addition to our special day. When we got our photos back we were absolutely blown away...there were so many amazing pictures we couldn’t begin to pick favorites. There was not one thing out of place, she created memories within the photos that we would’ve completely forgotten. She captured the essence of our wedding day, from the vows to the dance floor. We are forever thankful for you Hope! All of our love, Bryan and Tori

  Hope was a dream to work with!

  We worked with Hope for our engagement session. We were in the early phases of our wedding planning so we had some anxiety getting started. We are so thankful we started our journey with Hope for our engagement shoot. She was a dream to work with and she made us feel completely comfortable and made it so that we had a great time. We are over the moon with how the pictures turned out and love how she captured these memories. My fiancé and I highly recommend Hope for any special occasion she is very talented and wonderful to work with!

  A total perfect experience with Hope!

  We hired Hope for our wedding photographer and we couldn’t have picked a better person! She captured all the pictures I could have ever wanted while being so helpful throughout the day and the weeks leading up! I couldn’t even imagine my wedding day without her being my photographer and I can’t wait to reach back out to her in the future for a newborn shoot! I HIGHLY recommend Hope for whatever photography needs you have!

  Beautiful pictures that we can cherish forever

  Hope and AJ were wonderful to work with!!! They did our engagement photos as well as our wedding pictures. We could not have been happier with the way everything turned out. They talent is truly remarkable and I'm so glad we will have these pictures to cherish forever. I would recommend them to anyone getting married as they were the total package: talented/excellent photographer, affordable, and delightful to work with. I look forward to having Hope and/or AJ continue to capture our memories as we move forward into new chapters in our lives.

  Hope Dalton is the absolute best. We could not have asked for a better experience with a wedding photographer. She made the stressful and overwhelming experience of wedding planning that much easier. We loved working with Hope, from our amazing engagement photos to our incredible wedding albums. She put us at ease, made us comfortable, was professional, worked with our requests, and was just the sweetest to work with. I could not recommend her more.

  Hopie was great to work with at our wedding on 10/22/17. Whenever we asked questions she responded very quickly and helped us a lot. She made us feel very comfortable during the photography process and created wonderful posed and candid photos. I love all my photos and would recommended her to anyone looking for an engagement and wedding photographer!!

  Hope is amazing to work with and did an amazing job capturing my wedding day! She is very easy to work with and timely in her responses to any questions you may have. I have a bad habit of posing awkwardly for photos so I was nervous for my portrait pictures but she instructed me what to do and they came out perfect (she also captured tons of candid shots that were adorable!). Hope is also outgoing and easy to work with which is always one of my worries. I highly recommend her to anyone!!

  It was such a pleasure to work with Hope and getting to be more comfortable in my own skin while doing the Bridal Portraits. As many of us have insecurities about our "problem areas" on our bodies, I never felt like those areas were high lighted or even noticeable when Hope showed me a few of the photos. Having privately struggling with a health scare last Thanksgiving with rapid weight gain and slowly getting my body back healthier and to its normal weight, it was truly relief to feel like "Sleeping Beauty" while we were shooting. Thank you, Hope, for working with me and my constant moving due to the bugs! She truly was so thoughtful about keeping my dress clean, and it allowed me to not have to worry over it while shooting. Thank you for the care and attention you gave in regards to my Mum while shooting. Bridal Portraits are very emotional for me, and I do not think I could have navigated through the portraits if Hope had not shown so much grace.
  
  I must say I have already received my photos, and I am obsessed. They are stunning. She did a fabulous job in just capturing the beauty of the moment. They are just as flawless as our engagement photos! I cannot wait for our photos on our wedding day!

  Hope was a dream to work with. Hope was great to brainstorm with, was open to all of my ideas, and gave great suggestions during our planning process. She was always available for questions and concerns and always was quick to respond. I was able to share other photos with her that I liked, especially different poses, and she made sure to include them in the session. Whenever I was not sure of what to do, Hope gave us simple directions that turned into beautiful poses. Throughout the entire session she made me feel incredibly comfortable and confident. We have such a wonderful mix of photos; beautiful poses and shots that completely capture us as a couple. We have such a wide range of pictures and they are all beautifully edited. I cannot wait to see what Hope does for our wedding!

  I booked Hope for my engagement photos and wedding day photos. She had photographed a few of my friends for their events and I loved the outcome of their photos! After getting all of my pictures back, I can 100% say that Hope is my go-to photographer. I absolutely loved the pictures, both the shots and editing. She got my photographs back to me so quickly, but you could tell the editing wasn't rushed and that she took so much care in selecting the best photos to edit. My sister is going to use Hope this year for her engagement and wedding photos as well. I highly recommend Hope!

  We did an elopement type of wedding (2 weeks to plan) and Hope was so flexible. She went to the venue and scouted locations and was ready to go! She was totally on board with all the shots that I wanted and make sure to include them in our session. But I love that she was there for the little moments and was able to get them on camera. Editing was flawless, even those random things and people in the background were edited out. I loved working with Hope and I wished we had more time to do more portraits! We are definitely booking her future anniversary and maternity sessions!

  Hopie photographed my wedding this past summer and she is wonderful! All the pictures turned out beautifully- and not one important moment wasn't captured. She was so sweet and flexible to work with. I'd recommend her to anyone!

  Hope did our engagement photos and we could not be more in love with them! She spent so much time making sure I was comfortable and that My FH and I got a great variety of photos. She has an amazing personality so it was very easy to shoot comfortably with. The entire experience was like hanging out with a friend and nothing felt forced. Ultimately the quality of the photos were beyond my expectations; the lighting is perfect and Hope really captured how we feel about each other! The hardest thing for us now is trying to choose from so many beautiful photos for our save the date!

  Hopie was extremely wonderful to work with! She captured a wide range of shots and gave great direction during the shoot. We had so much fun throughout the whole process due to her enthusiasm and encouragement. We received previews of our photos within a week and finally received the rest of our photos online so that we could choose what photos to print and in all different sizes. Overall we couldn't of been happier!

  Amazing Photos

  We couldn’t have asked for more from a photographer. Hope was amazing from our engagement shoot to the wedding day. She is creative and helpful in figuring out poses and always made sure to ask if there were any specific shots we wanted. She captured exactly what I wanted our wedding day to be and I am forever grateful for her work. 100% would recommend to anyone.
