Drew Noel Photography

My husband and I got married on May 19, 2017 and used Drew Noel as our photographer. We chose him for his artistic and candid style. The only reason we waited so long to review him wais because I told my husband that I wanted to wait 6 months to let our emotions subside before we reviewed our vendors. This was a flat out lie. I waited until now because I had been planning to give my husband a boudoir album, shot by Drew on the morning of my wedding, on his birthday at the end of September. I wanted to make sure that my entire experience with Drew was included in this (probably super long) review. Not only is Drew an incredibly talented photographer and true artist, but he is also a lovely person and a pleasure to work with. His assistant was also fabulous and they were very in sync. I never had any experience shooting for a boudoir album but. Drew gave me totally amazing and professional verbal guidance throughout. He was polite, kind, and patient. When I worked with him to create my album, he was very easy to communicate with and recommended some of the most amazing shots to use, all while listening to my opinion. It was a team effort. Drew also posted all of the photos he took that morning to a private site so that we could download every single one (and he took oh so many!!!). My husband LOVED his present, to say the least, and this album and those photos are images that my husband can have forever. Now, on to the wedding! Although the wedding day is awfully stressful, Drew was calm and collected and was a comfort to have around. He never stopped shooting the entire morning. He got every photo we could have wanted and more. During the reception, he captured everyone at least once, which we were delighted about. Unless he needed to speak to us to get a specific photo, we hardly saw him, as though he and his assistant were flies on the wall. They were perfect. When we walked around the property with them, the four of us, Drew took some of the most incredible photos we have ever seen, and feel so blessed to be the focus of them. The thing that we liked most about Drew is that everything about him was genuine. Nothing seemed forced. He was very passionate about what he was doing and enjoyed being there, and that came through in his work and how he interacted with us and our guests. We spent more time with him than any other vendor or guest on our wedding day and we have zero regrets. IIf it isn’t clear, Drew was by far our favorite vendor and we are so lucky to have hired him. He is worth every penny we spent. We are in the process of creating our wedding album with him now and we can’t wait to get it.

How do I begin to write our review of our absolute favorite vendor from our wedding? I would imagine if you are looking at this review you’ve already seen one of Drew’s pictures and if that’s the case, you may be doing what I did which was comparing every other photographer to Drew. I was actually referred to Drew by a close friend of ours whose brother used Drew for his wedding. From the moment I saw one of their pictures I was done. Then came my first call with Drew… to say that you just know when you find a spouse is heard of but when you find your wedding photographer probably not as much – well I just knew. I spoke to Drew on the phone and felt like I was talking to one of my friends. He was down to earth, laid back and easy going. He answered my hundreds of emails (literally hundreds) in record time, which is extremely important, and followed through on everything he said he had to offer. To be 100% honest, my husband and I were hooked on Drew and his work right from the start, however, his packages were more than our original photographer and videographer budget combined. We knew before we got engaged that, to me, photography was the most important vendor – it was our photographer’s pictures that would allow us to relive our wedding forever. After meeting with Drew, we tried our best to consider other (cheaper) photographers but they just didn’t compare. Drew’s name came up at least once a day for two weeks straight as we continued figuring out what to do. And then we stopped fighting it and decided to book Drew. As Drew captured our engagement shoot, we knew without a doubt that we had made the right decision. During the photo shoot we turned to each other and confirmed that he was worth every penny and that we’d make the same decision in a heartbeat and even pay more if we had to. Drew’s such a talented and passionate photographer whose love for the art shines through in each and every picture that he takes. To say he’s dedicated to his couples is an understatement… at our wedding he literally took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his pants and climbed into a fountain to capture the perfect picture. He’s absolutely incredible at what he does and we plan to have him capture our family’s lives for years to come. Our wedding was just the start for us. If you’d like to ask any questions to one of Drew’s former couples we’d be more than happy to give him a recommendation. Please feel free to ask Drew for Jess & Marty’s contact information.
