Barrie was wonderful to work with and we love our wedding photos. We first heard about Barrie because she was a preferred photographer for the wedding venue we worked with. She was prompt in getting back to us via email. Couldn't have chosen a more perfect photographer for my daughter, Kiley's wedding day.

Barrie is AMAZING! I found her to be incredibly responsive and flexible. We scheduled a family photo session with her, and could not be more pleased with the results. She is incredibly skilled at getting the perfect shots. It was such fun, and I don't normally like to have my picture taken! She even managed to control two normally uncontrollable dogs. By the end of the session, I thought she should be in some of our photos too. Very professional and a lovely person!

My husband and I had an amazing time with Barrie for a family photo session. She is a lovely person, very friendly and did really well with our dog. She also has a great artistic eye and took amazing photos of all 3 of us. She definitely captures the charm of VT, and we luckily still had some beautiful fall foliage while we were there. I especially love the photos she took of our dog, they have been a big hit on social media. Thank you Barrie!

My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Barrie! She is extremely quick to respond, was super flexible to meet our needs (especially during the pandemic), and observed state guidelines so we felt safe. She got back to my original request in under 24 hours and spent time understanding what we were looking for. I am so happy we went with Barrie as she knew the local area so well and was able to recommend 4+ superb locations. The pictures turned out incredible and we couldn't be more thrilled.

Working with Barrie was one of the highlights of our wedding. On our first call with her, she explained to us that she was "a calculator with a heart and soul" -- she'd be strategic in making sure she got all the shots we wanted, but she'd also pay close attention to the people, relationships, moments, and energy of the weekend to make sure that the story and emotions were beautifully captured.
And that's exactly what she did -- we could not be more thrilled with all our photos. Barrie has a personality and demeanor that instantly puts you at ease; but she has enough energy and excitement to keep right up with the party and not miss a single moment. Barrie arrived promptly and even stayed late, making sure she captured every key moment of our wedding, and we couldn't be more thankful. I'd highly recommend Barrie to any and everyone who asked!

We loved working with Barrie for our wedding photos! She captured so many beautiful moments with an artful, creative touch. She had experience photographing our venue (The Inn at Round Barn Farm), and she did an amazing job capturing the photos we wanted, especially with the cows on the farm. We are so happy that we chose Barrie and love our album!

What a great experience for our wedding! Barrie is very professional but also down to earth, which made working with her effortless. She seriously knows how to get a great photo. Barrie clearly has a lot of experience, and it showed while we were taking the formals. We got through them quickly, even though we had a bigger group, and she was able to give everyone tips and directions.
She was also extremely patient and understanding. She made sure that we got all the pictures we wanted and more! What truly amazed me is how well she blended in and how lovely the candids she captured are. I'm so happy we chose her as our photographer.

People always told me to make sure you hire a good photographer for your wedding. Luckily, after much searching online, I found Barrie! I did both an engagement photo shoot and my wedding photos with Barrie. My photos turned out perfect and I am beyond pleased with them! I am a New Yorker and I would say that I have a very high set of standards and she definitely exceeded them.
My wedding party was not an easy task. We had 9 groomsmen and 8 bridesmaids. Somehow Barrie found a way to get everyone into countless good shots with EVERYONE smiling and manage the large party seamlessly. Barrie is exceptional.she not only is good with posed photos but she also has a very good feel for what's going on and is able to capture tons of candid photos.
She is the type of photographer that can see a good photo moment even when you can't. She has an eye for light and detail and color that is a unique skill and not all photographers have it. There was some miscommunication with payment and she handled the situation professionally and I was very pleased with her understanding and the final resolution.
In the end, we received over 1,000 photos that Barrie took at our wedding! After our wedding, I had multiple people comment on how calm and pleasant my photographer was at the wedding. At our wedding, she was always there but in the background and wasn't one of those annoying photographers that was in the way. When people weren't smiling, she would strike a funny pose or say something that would make people laugh.
For my wedding, we had our dog as the flower girl. Barrie did a great job at capturing our dog looking at the camera. The photos are like out of a magazine they are so good. Also, my husband, is the least photogenic person on this planet. Even Barrie was able to capture him not only smiling but also laughing! I would give Barrie my highest recommendation. Please take my advice and save the time searching (I already did that for you!) and use her as your photographer!

Photography was HUGE for my husband and I. We eloped and wanted to make sure we were able to capture the day for our family and friends. My husband and I both loved how effortlessly Barrie seemed to capture the essence of the day. She was quick to reply to all of my emails and communicated clearly what she needed. When first meeting Barrie she was just as friendly in person as she was via email/phone.
She made my husband and I feel comfortable and not cheesy at all, which is exactly what we were hoping for. Barrie is extremely professional, knowledgeable, creative, and friendly. She gave us great advice on the time of day for pictures, wind, lightening, etc. On top of all that, she was a really nice, fun person to spend our day with! She made us feel so comfortable and seemed genuinely excited to be shooting our wedding day. I will definitely be using Barrie again in the future and would highly recommend her!

We are beyond happy with the results we got from Barrie! From the beginning she was very professional and really cared about what we wanted. Day of was no different. She showed up at my house to take pictures of the girls getting ready and she had another photographer with the guys while they were getting ready. Barrie was super helpful. We did first looks and then my husband and I went off alone with her and she took some amazing shots I'm sure. We cannot wait to get our photos back from Barrie. She was a pleasure to work with and I highly suggest you book her for your wedding!

Just in case the long review scares you away: I could not ask for a better photographer--in so many ways. Barrie is wonderfully personable, flexible, and fun.while remaining impressively efficient and professional. Worth every penny. Barrie just shot our wedding last month and we could not be any more complimentary of her and her work! We LOVED her! Starting with the first phone call with Barrie, where she laid out her philosophy and approach to weddings so clearly and directly, I knew that she was a great choice.
I notified the venue of our choices for all of our vendors and the coordinator there stated "Man, you've really got the A-Team!".she was 100% correct! She also called a few weeks before the wedding to make sure we were still on the same page which was very comforting. We had 145 guests, and a wedding party of 14 and Barrie did not miss a single photo op.
She takes beautiful formal photos VERY efficiently while also capturing incredible candid shots during the various parts of the day--these are the ones that will mean SO MUCH years from now. All of our guests loved Barrie. Many of them made a point of telling me that after the wedding weekend--I am sure if any of them are getting married in VT, they will be asking me for her name!
One suggestion: When Barrie suggests that you put someone in charge of a list of "must-have" photos for the wedding day, DO IT! We sort of informally did this, and when it came time, and Barrie asked if we had any other specific shots we wanted, it was hard to think through all of the photos and remember which ones we still needed. Also--definitely have shots in mind that you want, Barrie works so well with direction and a "wish-list" so take advantage of that!
