Chelsea & Trey
Summer is an awesome person and an amazing photographer. As a photographer myself, I was extremely picky in my search for someone to take my engagement pictures and she definitely exceeded my hopes. Her photographs truly capture our relationship. She was creative, diverse, knowledgeable, understanding and flexible. She worked with us to set the time and we had an amazing experience. I would recommend her to anyone!
