A Couple Of Dudes

I definitely recommend these guys for your wedding. Joe met with us twice before the reception to discuss ideas and scope out the venue/​neighborhood. We added the grin shack option and it was a huge hit with our guests.

My husband I got married on 7÷11÷15, and we had a great experience with Couple of Dudes, specifically Joe and his assistant, Sara. We spent a lot of time researching photographers– it was one aspect of our wedding that we felt pretty strongly about! We were specifically looking for someone who’s photography we loved, but also somebody that had a good package deal (long hours so we didn’t feel constricted with time, potential add ons including a photo booth or engagement pictures, etc). Couple of Dude’s had all of this, and we’re so glad we went with them for our big day! We ended up getting the package with «1 Dude» and an assistant– I’m so glad Sara was there as a second shooter– it was really great to have more than one person! We also had the «Grin Shack» at our wedding, which is an awesome alternative to a photo booth. Our guests LOVED the Grin Shack– they couldn’t stop raving about it!
In terms of the actual photos, Joe made us feel so comfortable during our first look and as we did photos around the city with the bridal party. It was clear he knew exactly what he was doing, and he had great ideas for some really awesome shots. During the reception, Joe fit right in with the crowd and blended right in with the guests (he actually danced as he was taking pictures so it wasn’t awkward for the guests!). So many of our guests raved about how great he was!
Within 2 days of our wedding, he sent us a link for all of the Grin Shack photos to share with our guests, as well as a first collection of photos from throughout the day. The Grin Shack photos are awesome (so much better than a photo booth!) and the other photos were absolutely stunning. We can’t wait to see the rest!
Overall, we’re so happy that we chose Couple of Dudes to photograph our wedding. Joe and Sara were phenomenal!

Wonderful photography, great people.
We met Joe at Indie Wed a few years ago and immediately knew Couple of Dudes were the photographers for us. He and Lawrence have fun, easygoing personalities — which makes taking photos so much easier. They’re calming, awesome to hang out with. Joe and Lawrence had an incredible ability to capture our personalities perfectly. My wife and I aren’t great at relaxing or being the centers of attention. But with COD everything seems natural. They were able to make us feel loose, feel natural — which is so important in wedding photography.
As businessmen, they’re very easy to work with. They were responsive to our concerns. They had wonderful suggestions to fit our personalities, easy to get a hold of, easy to talk to.
We also recommend signing up for the grin shack! My wife and I weren’t sure if we wanted it/​how many people would participate. The Grin Shack was one of the highlights from the night. We can’t imagine having the wedding without it.
