Most amazing imaginable photographer team!!

Can I give Lionel and Kristiaan six stars?? Seriously, these two are absolutely amazing. I could not more highly recommend them!! We worked with Lionel and Kristiaan for an intimate 12-guest wedding during COVID. Their photos are absolutely STUNNING and they did an incredible job capturing beautiful, authentic, organic moments throughout the day that we will treasure forever. My father-in-law is particular about photography and had a million questions about their approach to wedding photos. They were incredibly patient and thoughtful talking him through their style and took into account his feedback and desires for how the photos would look. He is a very hard guy to please, and he has been raving about how perfect the photos are. We couldn't agree more! Beyond how amazing the Madious are as photographers, they are also just wonderful people and it was such a pleasure to have them around on our wedding day.

Incredible Photographers, Unbelievable Pictures

Lionel and Kristiaan are truly DREAM COME TRUE photographers. They are so helpful through the planning process and on the day of. They are seasoned and professional, helping us through every step. On the day of, they
were truly outstanding. In special quiet moments, they blended right in. We were able to share so many meaningful memories even with a photographer there the whole time. They also HUSTLED. They were willing to run around with us and sneak in a couple shots inside, outside, in the bridal suite, at any moment we had time away from our guests...they were there, capturing it. They captured amazing moments with all of family and friends. We really wanted candid shots, instead of posed, and they nailed it. They got images of tears, laughter, and pure joy that we would have completely missed. The photos they produce are simply incredible. We could not be happier. They have a whole mix of artistic photos, candid, romantic, and most importantly they managed to capture the feeling in the room every time. Every photo they took felt so authentic and bursting with love. We would get married again just to have them shoot it!

Our photos turned out absolutely perfect!

Leah and Garrett were absolutely wonderful! We Skyped a few times before the big day and they answered all our questions and created a great timeline to fit in the photos we wanted. Of course wedding days rarely go as planned so they were able to help us adjust our timeline as needed when we started running behind.

Several people commented about how they have been to weddings where the photographer always seemed in the way but they were so impressed that they barely noticed Leah and Garrett at all! They did a wonderful job of staying out of the way but also capturing such beautiful and genuine moments.

The biggest thing I wanted was amazing candid shots and wow did they come through! I have such special moments of our first look, my father seeing me for the first time, my mother tucking back my hair, and even an awesome action shot of my MOH fluffing my train! They also captured some beautiful artistic shots that I can't wait to hang on our wall.

They ran a little behind on getting us our edited photos but they stayed in contact with us the whole time and kept us updated on the progress. It was well worth the wait because we have more stunning photos than we even know what to do with!

ArtFelt Studios are fantastic and I promise you won't regret hiring them for your special day!
