Jennifer

Lake Norman, Charlotte

I LOVE this service! Easy, good locations, access to photos quickly! I have already told so many of my friends about this and plan on booking all my photos through Shoott! Our photographer was great as well.

Booking was simple and convenient, especially being that there is no charge up front... We loved so many of our photos that we essentially had no option but to purchase the whole gallery!

Joshua

Gallup Park, Detroit-Ann Arbor

We are incredibly awkward people, but our photographer made us feel pretty comfortable for our shoot. The process and the low-pressure of not needing to purchase anything until we saw the shots was just what we were looking for!
