When my fiancé (now husband) and I were planning our wedding one critical decision in the process was choosing the right photographer. We are a non-traditional couple looking for an artist to capture our day in a whimsical way. We were given a few recommendations from friends but around that same time that we were researching photographers my sister had just gotten married and when she sent me the link to her photo gallery I was in awe. I loved the photographer’s style: the varying color effects, the angles, the details, the creativity, etc. She captured the moments of that day beautifully. My sister told me that Heidi was great to work with. That’s when I knew I had to have her, and to my good fortune she was available for our date.Heidi was a pure pleasure to work with. My fiancé and I had a vision for our vintage-themed wedding and Heidi was enthusiastic about our ideas. She travelled to the area where we were having our reception before our wedding day to find the best photo opportunities. That was an extra perk that we were not expecting and put our minds at greater ease so there was less time to waste on the day-of searching for places to go. With all the things that a bride worries or panics about, photography wasn’t one of them. Heidi and her assistant Kiera were very friendly and professional. For certain moments Heidi was great about guiding us and instructing us what to do, keeping our poses very natural and not forced. At other times she and Kiera became almost invisible stealing the moments that we would later cherish. At the end of the night I was confident that we were going to be able to relive this day with beautiful photos.To my surprise Heidi already had a few photos ready to view the day following our wedding and I was blown away. The pictures were stunning. Who knew we could photograph that well? Our photos are all magazine-worthy! One of my absolute favorites made it on Loveolio’s homepage (Love Olio is a gallery of the most creative wedding photographers in the world)! I was craving more… and more came a week later. I could not have been more pleased with the quality of Heidi’s pictures. And less than 3 weeks from the wedding the entire photo gallery was available. I cannot stop looking through the photos. They are absolutely beautiful. Heidi did not skip a beat. She truly is an artist and a master or her profession.Heidi has a strong vision, great talent, and a wonderful personality. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Our experience with Gumula Photography was spectacular. Heidi devoted the time to getting all the traditional shots but also used a keen eye to create some unique images that we will truly cherish for years to come. From start to finish we never doubted our decision to put our day in her hands. All our guests were extremely impressed by her cool and charming demeanor. I have encountered photographers at weddings that are task masters, order people around and make them feel uncomfortable to "capture" their ideal shot. Gumula Photography captured every moment we wanted and plenty we didn't think of without ever adding any stress to an already hectic day. In fact, having Heidi in charge seemed to have a calming effect. Great experience and highly recommended.

Heidi was wonderful to work with. She is incredibly professional and immediately responds to all emails and phone calls (I was an overly organized bride!). My husband really wanted someone who was not pushy but also knew how to get the best photos-- Heidi was exactly that and more! I highly recommend her to all brides.

Heidi was amazing. She listened to everything we said and made great suggestions. She came out and did a dry run of where we wanted to do pictures and of the church etc. She was very prompt in returning phone calls and emails. Value of cost: extremely happy!!!!She was very laid back and you didn't even know she was there. She blended in and got so many amazing shots. I really can't think of anything that she could have done better.

Immediately upon meeting Heidi we knew she was the perfect choice to photograph our wedding. I had been so impressed by her portfolio, and our wedding pictures are every bit of the same caliber, with a wonderful range of portrait, candid, and artistic shots. She was unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception, but perfectly directive for our first look and family portraits. She did a wonderful job with a usually very unphotogenic group!She's highly professional: I appreciated her quick responses to emails and questions, her willingness to meet with us a week prior to the wedding at our venue to plan how the day would go, and how quickly she delivered the photo CD to us after the wedding. But more importantly, she's such a wonderful person -- it was like having another friend at the wedding, she seemed so genuinely happy for us and delighted to be part of our event.

We are so happy with the pictures Heidi took of our wedding. The variety is great, from formal to candids, from black and white to color to artsy. She took so many good ones, it's going to take us some time to go through them all and figure out which of the many we love are going to get framed or put into photo books. She was very available leading up to the wedding, and had some really fun and funky ideas. I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, fun wedding photographer.

Heidi Gumula Photography gave me excellent services. The outcome was amazing. The texture, color and emotions were captured so perfectly. There many styles you can choose from in addition, there are special effects you can add on to the pictures. The photographers are very professional and gave very useful advices to those like me, camera shy people.
