Mr &Mrs Lopez wedding

I was very excited and joyful to book Paul to take photos for the wedding. He was very helpful and did an amazing job with how beautiful the pictures came out. He had excellent customer service and if I had any questions or concerns he was on the spot whether on the phone or even at the event. He was a great choice to join us for the most important day of our lives.

Happy Bride

We are very happy we chose Paul Bartel as our wedding photographer. He was flexible, friendly, and professional. He arrived early and was ready to start taking the photos we had discussed, along with other candid shots. He sent us a few previews after the wedding and then sent the finalized photos in a timely manner. He followed up with us after reviewing photos to ensure we were pleased. I would definitely recommend Paul Bartels Photography!
