Wedgewood Weddings Eagle Ridge Gilroy Second Shooter: Lindsay Lane

Paulina is an incredibly talented photographer and she’s also truly one of the most personable and amazing people I’ve met. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and captured photos that went way beyond our expectations, which is a huge feat because my husband and I are both introverted and shy, and we’d never done a photo shoot before. I highly recommend booking an engagement shoot with Paulina if you are hiring her for your wedding. On our wedding day, we were much more comfortable since we already did an engagement shoot with Paulina. Plus, we already knew most of the poses she wanted us to do!

When we moved the location of our wedding due to Covid, Paulina was extremely understanding and accommodating. Then our venue canceled on us 3 days before our wedding and Paulina immediately helped us brainstorm alternatives and she was readily available, even late at night, to help us re-plan our whole timeline, find a new venue, and figure out all the last-minute logistics even though none of that was her job.

During our wedding, Paulina was such a joy to have around our family. Multiple people at our wedding were raving about how amazing she is, and that also allowed her to work really efficiently and seamlessly with our family members. Paulina even pulled off a first look with my nieces with about 2 minutes of advance notice (we thought of the idea on the spot). I’ll forever cherish that moment and the photos of it.

It was truly a spectacular sight to watch Paulina work. She had never been to our venue before and she didn’t need to see it in advance. She showed up early the day-of and immediately worked out where she was going to shoot each type of photo. She was coming up with ideas on the spot and re-arranging items and furniture to get the best shots – all while shooting. It was incredible to see someone so creative and talented in the zone. She had everything handled and she made things so easy on us.

It was such a blessing to have Paulina at our wedding, and I don’t just mean having her capture photos. At one point I saw her chasing down a floral arrangement that blew away and re-attaching it, and helping my 7-year-old niece fix her shoes. Post-wedding, Paulina was very understanding when I had a request to retouch some of my photos because of a bruise I had on my wedding day. I could not appreciate her more and I am truly sad that our time together has come to a close for now, until we have another need for a photographer. If you are thinking of hiring Paulina, please reach out to her because you will not regret it.
