Adore Wedding Photography, Toledo OH

Loren and Mary Beth are nothing short of exceptional. They photographed our wedding in the Ann Arbor, Michigan area in January of 2022 and we could not recommend working with them highly enough. Their energy brought up the vibe of the entire event, and nearly every one of our guests told us after the fact how professional, friendly, and downright fun they were. They provided incredible pro tips throughout the day (Mary Beth showed me how to carry the train of my dress so that it photographed beautifully, Loren showed us where to stand during the ceremony so that we'd be properly centered under our arbor, etc.). On top of all of this positivity and energy, the end product of the photos was nothing short of stunning. We are so grateful to these two for making our big day so special, and for giving us the gift of memories that we'll treasure forever. In summary, Adore Wedding photography will be the best investment you will make for your big day!

We absolutely loved working with MaryBeth and Loren! We cannot say enough good things about them!

My now-husband was a bit worried about how the engagement session would go because he doesn't like being photographed and he thought it would feel weird. From the moment we met them they put us at ease. They're friendly and easy to talk to. As we were photographed, we went to different places around the city and they gave us fun prompts that helped relax my husband's nerves and got us into a fun and loving mood where we could just have fun with each other. The photos they took were amazing and felt so real (not just posed). I love the composition and the way they use colors in their pictures.

At the wedding, they were also amazing! They were there the whole time and we had many guests tell us how impressed they were that our photographers stayed during the reception. They captured what was going on and even went as far as to seek us out and ask us if there were any photos that we wanted with our guests that we hadn't had taken yet. We were impressed with how they mixed into the crowd and seemed to be everywhere taking photos of the crowd and events, but in such a natural way that they just blended into the scene. They were really pleasant and professional and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great photographer!

Loren and Mary Beth are the best wedding photographers we could've asked for! From the very first stages of wedding planning, they were there for us for absolutely anything we needed. After postponing our wedding due to the pandemic, they made sure to keep in touch for the entire year and were always such a reassuring presence in our whole wedding planning stage. When it came time for the wedding day, we felt so comforted knowing that both of them were there for us not only to take amazing pictures, but also to help with any miscellaneous tasks needed. They go out of their way to make sure your day is perfect and just how you want it. Not only that, but you can be confident that your images will turn out absolutely stunning. I can't say enough how great Adore Wedding Photography is. You will not be disappointed with them!

We are so happy we went with Adore Photography for our wedding! They made our wedding experience absolutely amazing! Our wedding was on family property and Adore photography made a timeline to make sure we stayed on time! I eventually hired a wedding planner to help and she had nothing but great things to say about Loren and Mary Beth! She said they were one of the best vendors she has ever worked with! They are with you 100% of the way and really make you feel special. I got sick a couple weeks before my wedding and ended up in the hospital. Loren and Mary Beth stayed in contact with my wedding planner and offered to help in anyway they could! They really are the BEST! The photos turned out amazing and I still get compliments till this day on how amazing our photos turned out! I’m so happy we went with them!

Not often do you feel guilt for not reviewing a service earlier. But here we are. I should have done this sooner, because they are very much deserving of all the praise they can get. They were a pleasure to work with.

Mary Beth and Loren are the best in the business. Not only are they very personable and compassionate towards you as the couple, but they are incredibly detail oriented and refined in the technical aspects of what they do.

Professionalism:
Everything was done on time. Timelines given where appropriate and expected. Both of them are very courteous and polite. Receipts given for everything you could expect.

Personalities:
Some of the warmest and most gentle people you will meet. They clearly have worked with people from various walks of life, and are able to get to the essence of the couple.

Photography:
Both compliment each other and play of each other. You can expect one to focus on capturing the reality of the moment, and one to focus on capturing the emotion behind that reality. The end product is the ideal wedding photo album.

TL;DR: There is not a single thing we could ask for more from a wedding photographer experience. They are perfect.

Well, since it's our business. And our home. And we're tired of Google asking us to share our experience of visiting everytime we leave our house. We're leaving a review to end the madness! Although we're not sure how much weight you can place on this review since we're a little biased. But, we're the best photographers in the world according Loren's Mom. So there's that

Loren and Mary Beth are hands-down the best photographers you could ask for that day. We were really grateful to have so many people helping us coordinate that day and they were more than happy to make things go as smoothly as possible, even if it wasn’t their job. Additionally their photos are simply fantastic. We have received so many compliments on them and how beautiful they are. For example, we have heard at least 10 times that our photos look like they are straight out of a wedding catalog. Importantly, they want to capture who YOU are for YOUR day and give you memories as if you’re re-experiencing your day all over again. So, they try hard to figure out who you are and put that into their work. They set up multiple meetings with us via Skype since we live on the other side of the country to get to know us better and were always available in a timely fashion via email. When we could come into town they met with us in person for coffee to get to know us better additionally. They were always timely, professional, and a lot of fun - 20/10 rating and would highly recommend to anyone!

Easily the best decision we made for our wedding! Loren & Mary Beth are amazing photographers but more importantly, amazing humans! They did everything we asked and made taking photos fun. Something the groom did not think was possible! Seriously cannot recommend them enough. Not too mention the AMAZING photos, website/portal/album that they provide. We cannot express how grateful we are for them and their skills! The love that was shared during our wedding is captured in each of our photos and we have Adore to thank for that.

What can we NOT say about Loren and Mary Beth? They are everything and more! We happened across their beautiful website and they were the first people we asked to help in our crazy complicated wedding. From the first latte Loren made on their comfortable couch in their beautiful mid century home to the departing pictures on the dance floor - they were totally there for us, for our wedding party, and for the experience. They made us feel at ease always (both my husband and I hate to be photographed - so quite the challenge) but they brought so much extra beyond their obvious artistic talents. They were willing to meet with us numerous times, willing to take a risk on a venue that had never been used before, willing to lend a *serious* helping hand during the wedding (tying groomsman's bowties, wrangling bridesmaids, calming our dog and us!). They are just an incredible and talented couple. I hope we get to keep them as friends because that's how much we just love them. They made our day the most special ever and of course you want to hear about the photos - well they STUNNED US - we are still scrolling threw them for the 100th time and surprised and awed. We couldn't have asked for more, honestly. They're just THE BEST and wonderful people. Couldn't ever ask for more.

We can not express how satisfied we were with Adore Photography for our engagement and wedding photos. From beginning to end Mary Beth and Lauren were professional, courteous, creative, fun and full of energy that helped make a somewhat stressful time seem easy and comfortable. We are still blown away by how creative and beautiful our photos turned out. They have an eye for capturing the excitement and romance of the moment and it is evident in all of our photos. The passion they have for their craft is obvious when working with them and that talent extends into our beautiful collection of photos we have to remember our special day.

Loren and Mary Beth met us several times in the months leading up to our big day to get to know us and our style. They made it easy to pay off the balance over time so we weren't stuck with another huge bill on our wedding day. Their photo style is saturated and real, and I really felt beautiful in all my photos. They captured our love in a way that wasn't scripted or contrived, and it was all led by us. I knew they would be amazing and I was not disappointed. I received my photos in a timely manner, and would book them all over again if given a choice to change. 11/10 good people, good times.
