Loose Tie Photography is simply the best!

When we began dating, my wife and I attended a friend's wedding where Rueben was the photographer. That day, we commented on how he was like a photography ninja, getting great candid photos of all the guests. And when my friend shared the portraits with us, they were all amazing! When it came time to plan our wedding, we knew there was only one option for our choice of photographer. We had to go with Loose Tie Photography and we are incredibly happy we did! It felt like he was everywhere on the day of the wedding, capturing every perfect moment. The portraits he took are breathtaking and he helped us feel at ease and as if we were the only two people in the world at that moment. And the candid photos he took of our friends and family throughout the day were perfect. Your wedding day will go by fast, but thanks to Loose Tie Photography, we didn't miss a moment of ours.

You literally cannot go wrong with Rueben

I have been re-watching all the videos and staring at the photos so much my computer might give out! Rueben and his team could not have done a better job, from the engagement shoot to the wedding finished product. The mother of the bride is absolutely over the moon with how everything turned out, and we are even happier than she is. We are so incredibly delighted we picked Rueben & his team to capture the big day :) He encapsulated our vision even better than we described. We are so lucky that these are the photos and videos we’ll be able to look back on for the rest of our lives. A wedding is so important, it’s only fitting to go with the best of the best. Don’t make the mistake of going with a photographer who won’t put their heart and soul into their work, the love truly shows with Loose Tie Photography.

Loose Tie is a Must!

Rueben was very timely and professional, but also knew how to have a fun with his craft! He is so helpful with any questions you have and is very willing to work with you if any problems arise. Pricing was just right with a substantial amount of memories captured at a highly professional quality. My husband and I couldn't be more happy with the product he gave us. Thank you Rueben; thank you loosetiephotography!

Rueben with Loose Tie is awesome! I absolutely love when a client comes to me and says that Loose Tie is doing their photography & Videography package. Just knowing that Rueben is on board gives me the peace of mind that everything having to do with the photos will be perfect for my clients. Rueben (and his talented team) photographed my Niece & Nephew's weddings (one year apart) and I still use his photos to advertise on all of my web sites. Did I mention that he also does videography? Sam & Julie's wedding video is a testimonial to how much of his spirit and love he puts into his work- the music and client character he was able to portray in their video reminds me how much I miss that crazy and fun couple! Ruben, I hope we are able to work together again in 2018- I will be sending clients your way...
