    We are so lucky to have met Perry!

    “We are so lucky to have met Perry! He is an outstanding photographer, a genuine and approachable professional, and someone you absolutely need to have on your Big Day. Before our wedding Perry did a tremendous job helping us identify our wants/needs, during our wedding he did everything possible to make those plans come to life (and then some), and following the wedding we were blown away by his craftsmanship and the memories he captured. Whether it be the big moments, the little ones, or anything in between, Perry will exceed your expectations and deliver a lifetime supply of love, smiles and memories. Thank you so much, Perry!!!”

    Perry is the only photographer I would trust with our once in a lifetime moments!

    “I can’t even begin to explain how GRATEFUL my husband and I are to have had Perry shoot for our engagement, my bridal shower, and our wedding! There’s a reason we used him over and over and it’s genuinely because he is the best at what he does. After these big life events you only get to walk away with the memory of them and Perry captures those moments perfectly! Not to mention the positivity he radiates, how comfortable he made us feel in front of the camera, and how easy he was to work with. (Our engagement was in Rhode Island and our wedding location started in California and moved to MN two months before and Perry was always so flexible and accommodating with our changes!) All that to say, Perry is the only photographer I would trust with our once in a lifetime moments!”

    Perry is extremely professional and most importantly very fun to work with!

    He helped us think through some details that we would have overlooked and helped us think through our timeline as well. That’s not what I would have looked for in a photographer but speaks to how Perry operates as a professional photographer. He captured our wedding the way we were hoping and even made us go outside in the snow for some extra fun shots :)”
