Doward was wonderful to work with. He was very responsive, easy going and gave us great direction, while letting us kind of be us. We got to know him and him us while doing our engagement photos. We loved all of the pictures. On our wedding day he was on time, patient, and engaging. Guests were asking him to take photos and he never hesitated, even stayed longer then contracted
I highly recommend PKP studios.

We truly could not have asked for a better photographer for our engagement and weddingphotos than Doward. From the start, communication was always easy, quick, and stress-free, which made the entire process so enjoyable. On both our engagement session and wedding day, he made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Nothing ever felt awkward or overly posed, and our smiles and moments felt so genuine and natural.
One thing that stood out to us was how many people talked about how kind, calm, and personable he was throughout the day. He blended in so well while still capturing every important moment perfectly. Looking through our gallery brought back every emotion from the day, and I love how the photos turned out so much.
These are pictures we will treasure forever, and I am so thankful we chose him to capture such important moments in our lives. I would recommend him to absolutely anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely cares about his clients and their experience.

Doward was so great to work with! His communication was prompt and clear, he arrived at the event on time and ready to work, and he stayed "on" the whole time, capturing so many candid moments. He was so warm and friendly during the wedding/reception, I felt like he was one of the guests - but in a good way - he was still working, but people were very comfortable around him. The photos were fabulous and delivered promptly, and there were so many photos!! For such a reasonable price!! I would not hesitate to use him again, and several of the guests asked for his business card. Everyone was impressed with him and his work product. Highly recommend!

It was a pleasure to work with Doward for a wedding in 05/2024. From the initial contact, he was quite responsive and worked to understand the client needs. On wedding day, it was a smooth process—he was welcoming to all guests and the pictures were so nice! I recommend Doward and wish he all the best!
