We first inquired with Crystal Bruder around May 2023, We booked with Wave of the Wand Photography for our wedding on December 9th 2023. Upon deciding our package the exact words from her website were "Select either 8 or 10 hours of Continuous  Wedding Day Coverage. One of our talented photographers will be there every step of the way, capturing the unfolding magic of your special day. Enjoy a complimentary engagement portrait session to beautifully capture your love story. Receive all your beautifully edited, high-resolution images in an exclusive viewing gallery, exclusively yours for a year. Unveil the moments, the emotions, and the memories through our lens." We received our free engagement photos. We paid $1350 for our specific package with her. On the day of the wedding, the photographer was incredibly rude to the groom and his groomsman, and there were many complaints. We received our first couple photos on March 24th, I reached on out March 27th due to only having 127 photos in the file. She was incredibly rude regarding me not receiving the full amount of photos. On April 20th another file of photos was sent, this file made the total count 285 photos. I got in contact with Wave of the wand and was treated very poorly and basically called a lair because I did not understand why it has been over 5 months and the photos are still not there, I was informed that "I received all the images from our event" I was NEVER informed prior to our wedding that I was paying $1350 for only 285 photos, the photos were very poorly done and didn't capture our wedding the way she explained they would be (explained above). The photos were not at all done to FULLY capture our wedding day, and looked very sloppy after receiving the very few photos we got. This has been a horrible experience and i would not recommend her or her company to anyone. More...

I am a BIG fan of WOTW Photography. I do photography out of Central Florida and this is the ONLY photographer that I follow. I LOVE the work shown here and I gather so much inspiration from it. Beautiful photos! More...

Crystal did our wedding photography and even now, 6 months later, I cant stop looking at them. She did such an exceptional job and even became a friend of ours.

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The secret really is finding the joy and happiness in the moment and capturing what I see as the day unfolds. The best moments to photograph are the one's where no one is watching. There's really no secret in taking great photograph's , It's more really of knowing your craft and knowing how to get the best images of the day. Paying attention to the details big or small.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Several questions come to mind when I meet with every client.
1.) What drew you to contact me?
2.) What do you like or love most about my work
3.) How do you envision your day when it comes to photography?
4.) Do you have budget in mind for photography?
What do you love most about your job?
Really I love everything about photography. For me it's the locations I get to visit and the friends and family I get to meet. It's amazing to see family and friend's come together for wedding or for just family portraits. For wedding's there's so much joy and emotion throughout the day , it's a like a rush to just be apart of it. My favorite part really is the fact that my clients become long time friends, Which is really why I love my job.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to give a unique experience to my couples the joy of capturing weddings. I just love everything weddings so I wanted a way to give back to the community and do something I love. Photography is a way for me to meet folks and travel and learn so much about a city or town and the reason behind why a couple choose the venue that they did. Meeting new friendss and exploring new places is a huge part of my job. I am beyond blessed to do what I love.
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients are my pride and joy I wouldn’t be where I am at today with out them.
