    Simply the Best

    Tif and Justin shot our wedding October 2022. We cannot recommend Hot Metal Studios enough. She captured our love and details of our day better than we could have ever imagined. Tif's wedding style was very unique to us, capturing the perfect candid and genuine emotions throughout our day and we couldn't be happier. She is talented beyond measure and truly was so fun to work with. We just got our photos back and are blown away. Hire her! Thank you, Tif. -C+L

    Um... Vivian Maier? But does Weddings.

    Tif is actually an artist, who just happens to carry around a camera. Her photos are absolute stunners, each and every one of them, and she manages to capture all the critical stuff you want, as well as all the sh*t you never knew you needed. Don't look any further, particularly if you are someone who appreciates a truly unique eye. They don't make photographers like Tif every day. Also, her team kicks ass.

    Speechless

    I am a vendor and have worked with HMS a few times. I can honestly say these aren't just photographs that this team produces. It is feeling. It is emotions...chills and tears. You can literally FEEL everything they capture. I am obsessed with every photo I have received of weddings we have done together!

    Thank you for your eye, your camera and your expertise! You are AMAZING.

    Tif was so easy going and made us feel less awkward during our engagement and wedding photoshoots. She is a joy to work with!

    Picture Perfect!

    I really don't have the words to express how amazing Tif and Justin were on our big day. They captured all of the little details and the expansive love that was shared. I'm sharing some of my fav pics from the day, their work speaks for itself!

    Tiffany is the best! She is so fun to work with and her talent is incredible. She did engagement photos for my husband and my wedding photos this past September. She puts you at ease, makes you laugh, and captures the uniqueness in people. She even got my husband to stop fake smiling so he wouldn’t ruin the photos lol.

    Fresh take on traditional wedding

    Tiffany and Alyssa were amazing to work with for our wedding! We wanted to capture a fresh, modern perspective of our traditional Indian wedding and they went beyond expectations to capture our most meaningful moments. We are so grateful to have these memories!

    Tiffany and Alyssa at Hot Metal Studio were absolutely amazing. They honestly made the day so much fun. I was nervous about being photographed all day long and being really awkward, however, they made everyone so comfortable. We received a teaser image within a week and our full album back within a month. It's been almost 2 months, and each time I look at the photos, I find a new one that I fall in love with. They did such a fantastic job of truly capturing not only the events of the day but everyone's personalities. I would hire Hot metal Studio again and again!

    Tiffany and her assistants each have an amazing gift. Their eye for creativity and ability to make anyone feel at ease is incredible. We still look at our photos and swoon over every single shot. Not only amazing photographers, but remarkable people as well!

    Tiffany and Jonathan are amazing. They dont need these reviews as their work speaks for itself. They shot my wedding in November- my husband and i have been receiving compliments on our photographs ever since.
    Before the wedding, I was worried that my future husband and I might be too awkward in out photographs...that we would have fake smiles throughout the planned pictures. Tiffany and Jonathan had a way of making us laugh and making us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire day.
    Their work is breathtaking.
    They truly are the bee's knees.

    So I haven't had my wedding yet, however from our first sit down meeting Tiffany made my fiancé and I very comfortable. She brought samples of her work, they are incredible... I'm talking magazine photography. Hot Metal Studios has an efficient web site where you have your own account; you can make payments towards your bill, fill out forms about your special day, etc. One night I started filling out some information on the forms and I emailed Tiffany for an answer to a question late at night and she got back to me within the hour. So far my fiancé and I are pleased with their professionalism and promptness.

    Hot Metal Studio was AMAZING- our wedding photos turned out so beautifully; they sent us a zip drive with all of our photos and the ordering process was extremely easy. They took literally thousands of photos and were so incredibly nice- we definitely have recommended them to friends and family!

    Tiffany and Jonathan are the absolute best, I wish I could rate them as more than 5 stars!! Our engagement and wedding pictures are so beautiful, they truly captured every detail and expression in a creative, natural, romantic way. Every time I look at the pictures, it takes me right back to our wedding day! My husband and I never had professional pictures taken before and they made us feel so comfortable- we loved that they gave us amazing suggestions on picture locations, how to stand so the lighting was right, etc. We can't recommended Hot Metal Studio enough!

    Hot Metal Studio was by far my favorite vendor from our wedding! Jonathan and Tiffany captured each and every moment that my husband and I will cherish forever. I've had coworkers and people come to my extended family and friends telling them they have never seen such modern, unique, and elegant shots in a wedding! We couldn't be happier to share what amazing work Hot Metal did for our big day!

    Tiffany and Jonathan are incredible photographers and incredible people. I couldn't decide on a wedding photographer until I found their website and then I immediately knew they were the ones. Upon meeting them, I knew I made the right decision. They are kind and funny and make everyone in front of the lens completely comfortable. They also have the amazing ability to completely blend in to the crowd and interact with all guests like they have been part of the family for years. And they don't miss a single shot. There were so many moments that I missed but was able to relive through their photos. The quality is outstanding and they have a very reasonable turn around. I wasn't waiting months and months to see my photos, they were finished before I knew it. I can't recommend them enough. I can't wait for the next big event in my life, I will definitely be hiring them again!

    Pittsburgh brides are lucky to have a duo like Jonathan and Tiffany around. Chad and I felt like they were just another part of the fam at the wedding, they blended right in as a wonderful photog should! We had a blast with them, they were creative, knew how to pose us, and more importantly just let us be us! We were overjoyed with the images we received back, I get to fully re-visit our beautiful day because of the immense detail they captured. Love them!

    Tif is so creative and friendly! She and Jonathan are great to work with and have a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was amazed when I received our final shots and couldn't believe how they are able to create such beautiful photos out of ordinary surroundings!

    Tiffany and Jonathan Cooper are outstanding photographers. They are creative and have an amazing eye for detail. Working with them was easy and fun. Their pictures captured our wedding beautifully. While they are willing to shoot the traditional posed pictures, their real talent shines through in their live action shots and photographs of wedding day details. They are polite, patient, and professional--all great qualities in wedding day vendors. I am so happy we chose them as our photographers and I would recommend them to any bride.

    Jonathan and Tif are amazing photographers. They provide the most stunning and unique pictures with a modern/vintage twist. They really care about making sure the bride and groom have adequate time to take pictures of them alone. The pictures are much more candid than "posy posy", which is what led me to them in the first place. I actually had several guests tell me that they wished HotMetal was able to have them travel to their weddings in distant states! I also get continuous compliments from friends and on Facebook remarking about the incredible talent of these photographers. This review does not give them enough justice to how talented they are. Check out their website and you will how amazing their photos are! I highly recommend!
