“Joel and Cheryl have amazing talent, we don’t even know where to begin! We did our engagement session, wedding and a mini shoot with them and each time we get our photos back we are lost for words, they are incredible! They are so easy to work with and help you pose for your pictures. They captured all the photos we wanted on our wedding day and so many more! We got so many complaints about them after our wedding on how they didn’t miss a beat and they were in on all the action. They were also so patient when working with our 2 year old niece and our dogs! We can’t say enough good things about them, if you’re looking for a photographer go with Black and Gold, you won’t be disappointed!!!”

“Joel and Cheryl are perfection. They are fun, professional, quick, and so so talented. We always have fun with them and they’re so easy going and create such an amazing atmosphere.
We are so lucky that we asked them to shoot our wedding (and many other shoots) and know we’ll be asking them again. We love all of our photos!”

“Wow! I’ll start by saying if you get any other photographers, you’re out of your mind - you need a straight jacket and padded room kind of crazy if you don’t work with them.
Joel and Cheryl are so amazing with their work. The communication from start to finish was so quick and easy, and we never had a worry. They are true professionals, and are indeed artists!
We did both an engagement shoot and our wedding shoot. We haven’t done professional pictures before, so we were a bit nervous of what to do. Joel and Cheryl took all that away and coached and guided us how to pose, and turned out to take the most perfect candid pictures. While one of them is close, the other is far away taking the same picture, yet with a completely different perspective. We were barely looking at the camera, didn’t feel like it was even a photo session, just us walking around laughing and talking. They have little tools and tricks to make such unique pictures - mirrors, low and high angles, some weird jewel things.. we didn’t even know pictures like these were possible. Every single one of our pictures were perfect. Color, and black and white. The pictures are all real and natural colors, not with the weird sepia tones or tinted darker than it should be. There isn’t one single bad picture, at all. I want to frame every one!
I would recommend absolutely anyone and everyone to have Black & Gold as your professional go-to photographers. Engagement, wedding, family, dogs, or even to take the most gorgeous picture of something basic like your kitchen table. We can’t say enough positive things! We can’t wait to have them again for our next major milestone! Thank you, Joel and Cheryl, for capturing our special day and giving us memories through both picture and video that we will never forget!”

“Cheryl & Joel are AMAZING to work with. We can’t recommend them highly enough. They were thorough and detailed through the pre wedding planning process, and on our wedding day they were super great to have around - we hardly noticed they were there! Less than 1 week after our wedding we received a full online gallery of over 900 pictures from our wedding day - every single photo was amazing! We’ve received so many compliments on our photos and continue to share the amazing photos with our family and friends. We recommend Black & Gold Photography to all our friends!”

“Joel and Cheryl did an outstanding job with our wedding photos and our highlight video! They were very professional to work with, had great ideas which made for great photos and memories! Thanks for everything again!”

“They say pictures are memories that last a lifetime and this is exactly the gift Joel and Cheryl have given to us, photographing our wedding day. On our first anniversary, we were able to completely relive the day, feel the same emotions we felt on our special day and reminisce about all the special moments they captured. What we love about having Joel and Cheryl partnering to take the pictures was that you get two completely different perspectives and photos from one pose or moment. This is imperative as you can spend the majority of your day in the moment with your people and still have so many amazing portraits. They were incredibly flexible and understanding as we had to postpone our wedding due to the pandemic. They were very helpful in providing suggestions from our love story engagement shoot, where they generously drove 4 hours round trip to take our engagement photos to helping with wedding timeline and details. We’re so grateful to be able to relive our wedding day for years to come- all thanks to this amazing husband & wife duo!”

“We love Black & Gold Photography! From family photos, to engagement & wedding photos, we have been blown away - with 2 shooters they are able to capture moments you never thought they would. Joel & Cheryl are so easy to get along with, give great direction to those who are camera shy/nervous and are always open to suggestions for different poses/shots! 3 of our friends have used Black & Gold as their wedding photographers and we would recommend them to everyone!”
