Sweet Backyard Wedding
Essex, MA
Jeannie Mutrais is a wonderful person, and an extraordinarily talented photographer. She was gracious enough to photograph an engagement shoot, our rehearsal dinner, wedding, and reception, and even an additional celebratory banquet a month later - and we couldn't be happier with the results.
Her photography skills are evident in the unique shots she took throughout each event, and perhaps what I admire most is her ability to construct natural and organic shots without any participant feeling the least bit posed. We were amazed at the range of pictures we didn't even know she'd taken through the wedding reception, and it will be a gorgeous set of memories we'll have, thanks to her all-capturing lens.
We had been to a few weddings where the photographers were kind of pushy, getting in everyone's way while trying to shoot candids. Jeannie, by contrast, was professional and unobtrusive, able to give directions calmly and politely where needed, and snapped a ridiculous number of photos at each of our events, all of which are so nice we're likely to have a difficult time narrowing them down for a wedding album. Fortunately, the oft-difficult part of obtaining digital images was never a problem with Jeannie, as her package includes DVDs of all photos, along with their rights. I should also add that her rates are better than anyone is likely to find elsewhere.
