Testimonial Tuesday

This is an oldie, but a goodie.  Last summer, I had the [incredibly, amazing, surreal] chance to do Mandy and Alex’s pre-wedding photography all around southern Iceland.  You can see their images here, here, and here.

Dearest René Tate,

You are SO AWESOME! 

We approve!!! Oh gosh, we are so so so thankful we got you to photograph us. WE LOVE THE PHOTOS!!! So impressed with all the little details you caught! The Iceland flag and Icewear logo on my sweater, our squishy noses and most importantly, you managed to capture who we are. There are so many fun photos in there and Alex is so happy that I’m smiling in so many of them!

We are also very thankful that you suggested stops with the moss and horses…I really really love those – they are so Icelandic. And the sunset photos are just too sweet…we both are going to look back at this when we’re all old and wrinkly and remember the crazy times spent in Iceland with a talented René who gifted us beautiful pictures to look back at. Almost in tears typing this, I just can’t believe this whole thing really happened :’) 

Well, what else can we say…it’s been a really really fun and memorable experience with you in Iceland. Your pictures are just superbbbb.  Thank you, René, from the bottom of our hearts. Yay!!

Cheers,
Mandy + Alex

With 20 years of experience, I bring a calm, steady presence to your most meaningful days. I specialize in documenting relationships over time—from weddings and anniversaries to babies and families—with a love for black-and-white imagery, honest moments, and photographs that belong in albums, not just on a feed. There are no forced poses or “pretend to” prompts here, only space for what’s real. I’m not just here for the highlight; I’m here for the history you’re creating.

And I can't wait to capture your story
