What Couples Are Saying About Our Photography at Highgrove Estate NC
We’re so grateful to have captured so many beautiful weddings at Highgrove Estate. Here’s what some of them had to say about their experience with us:
“Tierney and Christopher were by far one of the best vendors we used for the wedding. From day one, they made my husband and I feel comfortable with their kind personalities and confidence. And it only got better from there. Tierney pays attention to the small details. This attention to detail carried over to the wedding, where they captured the most beautiful of photos. I can’t stop smiling every time I look through the gallery and am in love with every photo. From the variety in the poses they suggested to capturing candid moments on the dance floor. Everything is breathtaking.” -Soni and Logan
“Hands down the best photographer. We hired her for our wedding and knew we picked the right fit after doing our engagement photos with her. So attentive, caring, quick to respond, thoughtful, and makes the most beautiful photos. We had sunny hours, rainy hours and a rainbow hour and she nailed every single photo in each setting. She put our minds right to ease about the rain. Hiring Tierney will be the best decision you make!”– Sarah and Sean
“Having Tierney as my wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions I made for my wedding – hands down. She is incredible, and I could not recommend her enough. It’s been almost a year since our wedding ceremony, and I am posting this review because when I look at my beautiful, magazine worthy photos, I smile and remember how glad I was to have had Tierney by my side. Tierney not only has a great eye, but is impeccably organized, extremely responsive, and always professional. “– Tina and Dan
