Original Weddings

We could not be happier with our experience with Original Weddings. Photography was one of our top priorities, and choosing their highest photography package was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. It was important to us to capture all the memories of the day, which is why we wanted full-day coverage and a second shooter. We are so glad we did. Nothing was missed. From different angles during the ceremony to candid guest reactions we did not get to see in the moment, every detail was captured, both big and small. The engagement shoot, which was included in our package, made such a difference. It helped us learn how to pose, allowed our photographer to get to know our personalities, and gave us the chance to be creative together. By the time the wedding day arrived, nothing felt awkward or forced. We felt completely comfortable and had a lot of fun. On the wedding day, Ashton gave gentle direction that felt natural, fun, and creative, while still allowing moments to unfold organically. Our second shooter, Solomon, was equally wonderful. He was creative, personable, and a joy to be around. We truly felt the love and care that both Ashton and Solomon put into their craft. We also chose to receive our photos in all three editing styles they offer, along with black and white images, which gave us so much variety and made the gallery feel incredibly thoughtful and complete. Even more impressive, we received our full gallery back in just four weeks. Getting our photos back so quickly made the experience even more meaningful. It allowed us to share them with my husband’s grandmother before she passed away, which is something we will always be grateful for. We have friends who were married a month before us and are still waiting on their photos, so this level of care and turnaround truly stood out. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the day with our favorite people, all the love, joy, and emotion captured so beautifully. If photography is a top priority for you, this is the team to book. We cannot recommend Original Weddings enough.

NEW EDIT: This company has privately messaged me with a link about a Texas wedding photography company that sued their clients and won... Quite threatening. Beware. EDIT: How unconscionable for this company to release the entire gallery of our wedding because of an honest review of our experience. I understand sharing the photos you feel might discredit my review, but it is completely disgusting that you would reveal private photos of your clients getting dressed and without proper undergarments in photos protecting their privacy on their special day. YET ANOTHER REASON TO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY. What a shameful and unreasonable thing to do. I hired the Austin branch of Sound Originals (now Original Weddings) for our Texas Hill Country wedding in November 2025. Anyone familiar with Texas sunsets understands why we scheduled a 4pm ceremony—the weather was perfect, and cocktail hour was filled with stunning pinks and warm orange skies. I mention this because it makes my disappointment with this company, and especially the photography and editing, even more upsetting. Weddings are among the most expensive and meaningful events a person will host, and photos and videos are what you rely on to remember it. Be extremely careful who you trust with that responsibility. While I don’t want to condemn the entire company, the lead photographer assigned to our wedding, Felicia, was a complete let down, and that is where most of my frustration lies. To start, Felicia had to be reminded—by a friend of the bride—to take our flat lay photos. She had not done so on her own. The photos taken of me during hair and makeup were sloppy, unplanned, and showed a clear lack of effort. When compared to my husband’s getting-ready photos, taken by a second photographer, the difference was shocking. I understand men typically have more time once dressed, but my photos looked like random snapshots taken by someone uninterested or untrained. The portraits of me once fully dressed were just as bad. Meanwhile, my husband received four absolutely stunning, magazine-worthy portraits. I don’t have a single photo of comparable quality. (I included some photos for reference) After the ceremony, we moved into family and guest photos. While I understand the company states they are not responsible for organizing groups, the lead photographer provided zero direction or assistance. She didn’t attempt to get attention, guide positioning, or offer suggestions to make the photos balanced or flattering. She simply stood there waiting, wasting time. I ultimately stopped the guest photos entirely because of how ineffective this process was. Next were our couple’s portraits. The Hill Country provided breathtaking views—rolling hills, a river below, incredible depth and movement. Somehow, the photographer managed to position herself at an angle that made the entire background look flat and lifeless. The missed opportunity was almost laughable. Ironically, my husband’s younger sister captured videos and photos on her iPhone from just a few feet above and managed to showcase the stunning depth perfectly. (I included a photo for reference.) We were devastated when we received the final images. The editing made things worse. The sunset was completely washed out, turning a vibrant sky dull and gray. A person fluffing my veil was left in our portraits, and the company wanted to charge us extra to correct both issues—despite not allowing clients to edit their “intellectual property.” (I included photos for reference) Even worse, after taking group photos from a ladder, the photographer left a bright blue ladder in the background of all subsequent shots. How this was not noticed is beyond me. (I included a photo for reference) To top it off, our highlights video was delivered incomplete, displaying “PENDING MEDIA” in one section. The video itself was shaky, poorly framed, and overall subpar. While we will treasure the few good photos we received, our experience with this company—especially with our lead photographer—was deeply disappointing and upsetting.

We had an amazing experience with our Original Weddings Videographer! They were very reasonably priced and did a great job! They were professional, easy to work with, and captured our day so beautifully. The final video exceeded our expectations and brought back every emotion from the day perfectly. We’re so grateful to have such an incredible keepsake and would highly recommend them to any couple!

We couldn’t be happier with our wedding videography experience with Chunming! From start to finish, he was very attentive, running all around capturing every special moment. Our guests even commented on how he seemed to be everywhere the fun was happening, always right in the action. The entire team was fantastic, responding quickly to our questions, and the client portal made everything super easy and efficient. We received our final video in less than two weeks, which was amazing! We also purchased the raw footage afterward, and I highly recommend doing so. If you are in the Boston area I highly recommend!

Original Weddings (formerly Sound Originals) delivered everything we could have hoped for and more. We just received our full wedding gallery, and the photos are absolutely stunning — over 1,300 beautiful images capturing every detail, emotion, and moment of our day. Narrowing down which ones to print and gift to family and friends is going to be the hardest part! From the very start, the entire team impressed us with their professionalism and incredible organization. Four shooters. Eight full hours. Zero stress. They seamlessly blended into the day, always present but never intrusive — giving us gentle direction when needed while allowing us to fully live in each moment. Their friendly, calming energy put us, our wedding party, and our guests completely at ease. It truly felt like they were as personally invested in capturing our day as we were in living it. The crew’s creativity, attention to detail, and personalized approach made us feel like we were in the best possible hands. They listened to what was important to us and delivered exactly that — candid laughter, emotional glances, stunning scenery, and all the in-between moments we’ll cherish forever. We are beyond thrilled with the photos, and now we’re counting down the days to see our full feature video. If it’s anything like the photo gallery, we know it will capture the heart of “Our Greatest Adventure” perfectly. Highly, highly recommend this team to anyone looking for talented, kind, and efficient professionals to document their special day!
