If you want AMAZING memories you get Third Element Studios for photography! The service, time, and dedication they give to their bride and groom compares to no other. I know because I tried and talked to numerous companies. I am pleased with them because of the relationship they develop with you and the outcome of the photos of your big day are phenomenal. I am the most difficult person to make happy and to work with, but they are an exceptional team to trust your wedding with. No doubt. We had a 4 day Indian wedding with different venues, times, and customs and Third Element Studios was remarkable in capturing every special moment. Their work and attitude is very unique. One has to try them to experience the best.

Wedding: 10/3/10
My husband and I got married last October and were overjoyed to hire Third Element Studios. They were professional, easy to work with, and extremely accommodating. We had so many wedding details to worry about, but photography was never one of them. They confirmed all of the details two weeks prior, were prompt and on time to everything, and made sure to capture every detail and candid moment of our wedding day.
Our photos were phenomenal! Forrest and Zach did an awesome job! Our friends and family are still raving about how clean and unique each photo is. And the album they put together for us…unbelievable! Each page was specially designed and truly enhance the, already gorgeous, photos that were taken.
There are not enough businesses in the industry of their caliber. I was beyond impressed with their professionalism and skill. They are worth every penny. My husband and I will be able to enjoy our photos, and relive our special day, for a lifetime. Thank you to Third Element Studios for contributing to our perfect wedding day! I recommend them without reservation.

Forrest and Zach are great. I am so glad I went with the photo guestbook. I had not seen anything quite like it and my husband and I were extreemly happy with the end product. Everyone always wants to look at it when they come to the house. Zach and Forrest are flexible, great to work with, take some amazing photo's, and really want to make their clients happy. Check out their photos on their website :)

Forrest and Zack are amazing at what they do. Their work is one of a kind. Our pictures are unique and beautiful. Not only are these guys talented, they seemed to have so much fun doing it. They brought an exciting and upbeat ambience to our wedding. We cannot thank them enough for making our day extra special and capturing every moment!

Forrest and Zach of Third Element Studios are absolutely phenomenal. Not only is their work spectacular, but they also have an amazing ability to put everyone around them at ease. You're able to completely focus on your day and the small moments as they happen.
I was surprised at some of the moments they captured, not only because the image was so lovely, but because I couldn't even remember seeing them when it was taken.
Without hesitation I would recommend this wonderful team of photographers to any bride.

Great photos, super flexible and a very good value for the price. Definitely get the photo booth guest book, everyone loves looking at it when they come to our house.
My wife and I met with countless photographers. We knew photos would be expensive but the prices that some people wanted were outrageous especially considering how inflexible and unaccommodating they were with time constrictions and travel fees.
Third Element Studios was AWESOME. They did our engagement shoot, a Friday morning ceremony, the all day Saturday wedding meaning 7 am to well past midnight and the photo booth guest book all for the same price other photographers wanted for just eight hours of service.
The photos turned out great, the colors are amazing and the photos look great in our house.
The only reason they got a 4.5/5.0 for responsiveness is sometimes it took a day or two to get a phone call back. But I also understand they are super busy, so it was no big deal.
I don't mind paying higher prices for quality I just want to make sure I get value and Third Element Studios definitely is a great value.

Third Element Studios was beyond helpful and amazing on a day that had enough of its own stressors. I would absolutely recommend Third Element for any pictures you need done!

While I absolutely loved my wedding day, there are times when I think back on things I would have done differently...different color scheme, more food, less people, etc. But the one thing to this day that I consider the best part of my wedding and something I would not change (besides marrying my husband) was the photography. Zach Niles flew all the way from California to shoot my Texas wedding and they are absolutely PERFECT. Everyone who comes to my home and looks at my wedding album just goes on and on about how beautiful they are and I couldn't agree more. Not only did he think of every pose I would want, but he caught all of the special candid moments as well. He's very professional but also knows how to get in the mix and have a good time. In my book, you just don't get any better. HIRE HIM! :)

We have received nothing but the best compliments on the pictures from Third Element Studios. The Wedding Book they put together was phenomial - everyone comments on the great quality of the book, as well as the pictures.
TES has a great eye for some wonderful shots that you wouldn't think to plan, but tell the story of the entire wedding. They also take great "posed" shots if you want them. One of the best parts of the pictures is to see the wedding through someone else's eyes.

Wedding: 5/29/11
My husband and I were both absolutely blown away by Forrest's portfolio and blog. We quickly set up an appointment to meet with him and shoot our engagement photos.
Though we had already paid our first deposit, we almost- and should have- cancelled our contract after the engagement shoot. He is absolutely unfriendly, unprofessional and was more interested in taking pictures of the scenery and squirrels. The entire drive home my husband and I commiserated over the discomfort we had just endured. We decided to wait to see the engagement shots...the majority were nice so we moved forward for the wedding.
Big mistake. First off, we had all agreed on a travel budget for the day of the wedding which we paid, but the day before the wedding we were contacted by Forrest to see if we had "found a place for him to crash." Ok, so we've moved on from that. The day of the wedding he shows up and seemed to be doing his job...taking pictures etc. I just assumed he would take care of the images we'd requested (he made me list out the shots I wanted "as detailed as possible") but sadly I ended up saying "Can you take a picture of this?" a number of times throughout the day.
I stayed positive. But then I received the photos. I couldn't even show them to anyone for some time, and when I finally did everyone was shocked to see that I wasn't exaggerating about how terrible the pictures came out. There are about ten great pictures, but for the amount of money we paid we expected something similar to the quality we saw in his portfolio. There were numerous shots that were just overlooked; bouquets,shoes, a few of the group shots we stood for weren't included in photos we recieved...and the two photos that he took of my wedding dress he left half of the dress in a crumpled mess. When I emailed him to discuss my feelings he was so rude in his response I really gave up.
It wasn't until a friend - and wedding photographer - came to my house today and looked at them that I realized how important it was for me to write this review. There is so little to choose from in the photos as though the only effort he could afford was one shot per item- conserving film, I'd understand...but it's digital!! What there is to choose from is mostly disappointing and his attitude is seriously the cherry on top. If you aren't going to do your best you shouldn't...
