{review} Latte Productions Photography

Latte Productions offers 2 Photographers, 12 hours, amazing turnaround times, and all at a surprisingly affordable price

Latte Productions Photography, is a company based out of Kitchener-Waterloo but serving the surrounding area. Since opening their doors to wedding bookings seven years ago, they now book approximately 180 full day and night weddings per year and have performed over 1000 weddings to date.

So, you’re probably wondering, how did this ever growing business earn themselves the trust of so many brides so quickly? We believe it’s because Justin and Jennifer are building a wedding photography business around several principles that brides could easily love – no-limit photography with all day and night coverage and multiple experienced shooters – all at a price that’s designed for brides on a budget. Offering one complete package comprised of everything a couple could hope for…and more. With a philosophy that “it’s your wedding day, not ours”, we were curious to find out more about Latte and the super sweet couple behind its name. Check it out…

The idea behind Latte Productions

Justin and Jennifer have built their company around affordability, All Day & Night Coverage no-limits on photography, generous amounts of included travel and complete flexibility in the lengths they’ll go to cover your wedding. “We are always open to requests and are constantly looking for ways to enhance your event’s coverage.”

Latte Productions covers full wedding days, from bridal preparation through to the end of the key reception photos and then some (their package comes with 12 hours of consecutive coverage), two shooters and custom designed keepsakes – all for $1800. Justin and Jennifer just believe that by taking the issue of budget right out of the equation, they can focus on the weddings themselves, and not the selling. “We would rather work with brides who appreciate our ongoing efforts to satisfy their every request. We welcome all brides to enjoy a coffee with us at our studio and discuss their details.”

Latte style

Because of their pricing and fast growth the wedding industry in the local area, Latte Productions Photography is attracting couples of every different style, “from budget brides who see the value in our work, to more modern brides who expect and anticipate paying several times our prices but have chosen us for our quality and attention to details.”

One thing seems to be common among all of Latte’s brides, and that’s that they love the full day coverage, which often equates to twelve full hours of shooting!

Sandra Sousa was married on August 20th, and was thrilled with her wedding coverage, “After meeting with Latte we loved the pictures they showed us from other weddings they did.  They made us feel comfortable and we felt they cared about what we wanted. They captured my whole day and more, even the little things I was not expected to be captured. They were worth every penny!”

But shooting for that long doesn’t mean that you’re going to be overwhelmed with photos. Latte Productions shoots in a fun and relaxed style, capturing all of the natural moments as well as more relaxed, suggested poses.

And they are very careful not to take away from the moment, not drawing attention to themselves and keeping the focus on the couple.

Justin and Jennifer told us, “Latte’s shooting style is candid and photojournalistic to capture the true emotions on your wedding day with appropriate formal moments and direction. No one generally likes having a camera in their face, especially for the entire day/night…” So, this photography firm strives to achieve the best possible photos by placing themselves at the right places at the right times, by shooting quickly, and by involving themselves in as much of the wedding itself as they can to help make sure they get the full picture. ” No one has the time on their wedding day to pose for mock-ups and fake shots of the cake cutting, the dances, and all the other wonderful moments of their big day, so Latte says they make sure they are a part of your memorable events as they unfold. “That’s just one of the reasons why our package spans the length of the preparation through to late night, so we can be there to capture and share your moments whenever they occur. We believe the bridal prep helps emphasize the importance of the big day, it would not be the same if the first photos of our bride were of her in the dress… as if to say “it’s just another day”

Excitement can be contagious

Justin and Jennifer say that every wedding is unique and every couple brings their own distinctive style and taste to the table. They find it easy to get caught up in the excitement of the wedding and their clients. “We are as excited as our couples are… We use that excitement and emotion to effectively capture their wedding.”

Their excitement for what they do might be part of the reason why so many of their couples stay in touch after their wedding day. Justin and Jennifer told us that they often hear positive feedback long after the wedding day is over.

Jessica Nica booked Latte for her August wedding. She says she would “100 percent” recommend them to anyone getting married, “Everything was fantastic.  They were very friendly the first time that I met them and were always available to answer my questions.  And most importantly they were always very fast to respond to my inquiries.  They exceeded our expectations with every aspect of their services and we couldn’t have asked for anything better.

Newlyweds know

Justin and Jennifer say it’s easy for them to connect with their clients. “When we sit with them and discuss their details, we realize that photography is only one more item on the wedding to-do list and that not asking the right questions can lead to some undesired results… We take our own experiences in front of the camera and work them into our questions for the brides and grooms to ensure they get the type of coverage they want and that our approach is clear and flexible to their needs.”

Since Latte shoots over 180 weddings per year (multiple weddings being covered by their teams each weekend) they have much more experience than the photographer who handles twenty weddings or less. This means that they’ve seen it all and can handle any situation that arises. The Latte Team only shoots Weddings as well as offers an engagement session experience, which means specialized and dedicated experience being brought to your wedding coverage, a type of coverage which has its own unique requirements and a very proactive mentality not often found in most other photography disciplines.

Latte’s approach to photography packages & prices

When it comes to products and packages, Latte takes their own approach. First of all, by strictly shooting weddings, not just any sort of event or discipline, they’ve made it easier on themselves to offer more inclusions for less. “We have taken all of our best offerings and provided them in one feature package.” A complete, no-photo-limit, all day & night package is the result, which includes: two primary photographers, twelve hours of coverage, processing of all photos taken, a wide array of editing options, slideshow, and all photos made available to the client without markings on custom metal key-shaped USBs. They even have an extremely affordable engagement or anniversary shoot option available for those couples that want to enjoy that as well.

Latte charges $1800 for their package and brides don’t have to worry about hidden fees or costs {unless their wedding is a considerable distance outside the region, to which a moderate travel fee would apply}.

Couples can do anything they like with their photos (ie. there is no copyright so you can print what you want, when you want!), there are no limitations and the sky truly is the limit. Most of the weddings Latte shoots results in approximately 1200-1800 plus photos, all unique from one another.

 

Kyla liked how quickly Latte got their photos back after her engagement session. “It was within a week, just like Justin promised!” She told us that Justin was always easy to get a hold of. “He responds within minutes most times. Very reassuring!”

Justin and Jennifer say that the couples hiring them want their entire wedding day covered, they want to be able to re-live and share their memories with family, friends, and one another. “Our couples know that special moments won’t just fall into a six to eight hour timeframe and that the only way to truly tell your whole day’s story is to be there or the entire time.”

Today’s brides are looking for vendors who can problem solve on the spot, exceed their mandate in the name of going above and beyond, and have an appreciation for how the market has evolved, all while being able to remain ahead of the curve. It’s important to make sure your chosen photography firm is current, enthusiastic, and looking out for your best interests… something you will not find in a traditional photography firm. Latte Productions Photography has worked very hard to develop and re-define their more modern approach to wedding photography. Being the regions fastest booking photography firm, it’s obvious that their couples not only realize the advantages to involving Latte’s style in their big days plans… they wouldn’t have it any other way!

Get in touch – Set up a coffee date at their studio – and realize why Latte Productions Photography will be your smartest and yet most affordable investment for your wedding day.
