We looked for a photographer who could work with our awkward selves. Taking formal pictures doesn’t come naturally to us, so we didn’t want to go overboard, but we wanted to make sure we captured some really nice ones!

I hired Dewitt for Love Photography for a multitude of reasons, but it really came down to our first phone conversation. Shannon Dewitt made me feel so comfortable talking with her, like we had been friends forever. She was open to all of our thoughts and ideas and assured me that she would take care of everything.

Shannon and Brandon Dewitt did such an amazing job, and I really couldn’t have asked for a better experience. They were able to go between my location and Chris’ location, making everything so seamless and easy. They also coordinated with our family friends to bring our dog to our photo location so we could get pictures with her, doing it all behind the scenes without causing me any stress, which was amazing.

We wanted someone who made us feel comfortable, since this was our most important vendor decision, and we spoke with dozens of photographers before deciding.

From our very first conversation with Shannon Dewitt at Dewitt for Love Photography, she was warm, welcoming, and clearly had a beautiful portfolio. She and Brandon Dewitt worked together seamlessly, and knowing we’d have two true professionals behind the camera made them a non-negotiable for us.

We were drawn to Brandon and Shannon Dewitt’s distinctive editorial photography style and the way they captured genuine, authentic emotion. Their previous work with other South Asian weddings also gave us confidence they’d understand and honor our traditions.

Personality and vibe were everything. We wanted a photographer who really understood who we are and could capture the day’s emotion, chaos, and fun without making it feel posed or forced. Photos and video were at the top of our priority list, so we knew we needed the best.

When it came time to plan the wedding, Shannon Kelly, my videographer, was my first hire. I asked her who she worked best with, and she immediately mentioned Brandon and Shannon Dewitt of Dewitt for Love Photography. We looked them up on Marry Me Tampa Bay, read glowing reviews, and that sealed the deal.

From there, we built our vendor team around vibe. Working in marketing, I know how important it is to have a strong, collaborative team, and that’s exactly what we had. Everyone clicked and made the day run effortlessly.

I am not the most photogenic person and am not comfortable in front of the camera, so I wanted to find a photographer who would provide direction but also help put me at ease. From our first call with Shannon and Brandon of Dewitt for Love Photography, we knew we hit the jackpot!

They were great at finding creative ways to capture the traditional wedding shots, but with a fun spin that felt like us.
