- ALL OF THEM! Seriously!!! In all seriousness, Willa and her assistant took such beautiful photos of our wedding from start to finish that it would be so impossible to pick out just one favorite!
- I barely even remember seeing them at our reception, and for a minute before I saw my pictures I was worried that they might have missed some of the shots. Then when I saw my pictures I was floored because somehow they were EVERYWHERE and managed to get pictures I couldn't even dream of! They were so great!
- EVERYTHING! I got the album and all of the rest! It was definitely worth it!!!
- Willa and her assistant are both so easy going and relaxed. I felt so comfortable around them - like I had known them forever and were best friends! Willa's such a cool person and I would honestly LOVE to be friends with her! I was definitely honored to have such an great person take my wedding photos!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? I don't know how to possibly answer this. I have so many favorites and they are all so different!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Willa and her assistant were amazing! I feel like I never even noticed that they were around, yet somehow they didn't miss anything. We have the best photos of our guests truly enjoying themselves and all of our portraits really captured who we are and are stunning.
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Everything that is named above plus all of the digital negatives - great deal!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Our families LOVED them and they made everyone just laugh and feel relaxed. It seemed effortless, although I know it must be such hard work!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? There are way too many photos that I love to only pick one! What I love about Willa's photography though, is that she is able to capture moments that happen. She focuses more on these, rather than spending so much time photographing napkins and decorations (she did get great pictures of these as well), but her priority and style seems to be about getting great candid shots and beautiful portraits that look natural. We are soooooo overjoyed with our pictures and cannot thank Willa enough!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Well, as I said above, she is great at really capturing the true essence of the wedding day. That's what initially drew me to Willa's work, and I am so happy that we booked her because she really did exceed all of my expectations!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Yes everything that is listed above was included, as well as a few other items.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She's great with people and somehow even got me to relax - and I was SO NERVOUS at first!!! Willa has a natural calmness about her that we really liked (actually everyone loved her including my parents and parents in law). She made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed and look natural in the photographs.

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Wow, this is a really difficult question! I am happy with all of our wedding images, I having a hard time picking just one. However, the photo that we selected to be on the cover of our album is definitely my most favorite of them all because it is so perfect in every way! It is of us, holding hands and walking through a field full of dandelions (that sparkle and glow in the sunlight)! My white dress looks so beautiful next to my husband's tux as we walk through this beautiful setting. I love how Willa was able to not only capture that moment (I even remember what my husband and I were talking about in that very moment) but she made such an artistic image - it looks so timeless and reminds me of her fine-art work. I am truly happy!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Willa's images speak for themselves - they are so precise, so full of energy, emotion, and excellence. I mean this. She is truly a remarkable photographer and is good at all of the important aspects of wedding photography! That's why we hired her! We did not want a photographer that was going to be pushy or ask us to do things for the camera, we wanted someone who was good at capturing the real moments and make beautiful photographs out of them! Willa is truly a master at her craft! She is so professional as well as fun to work with!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? So many things - I can't remember all that was included, but everything that is listed above was included and we got all of our high resolution digital negatives on a disk - she includes them in her packages - which is so great because you can make all of the prints you'd like and not have to worry about ordering from her directly and paying extra.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? We really liked Willa's energy from the very first time we met with her. She is a really awesome person - someone you just want to be friends with! She is such a sweetie, fun to be around, laughs a lot and has a good time, and is very good at organizing large groups of people, getting great poses, and making everyone feel comfortable and happy! I totally admire her for her amazing ability as a photographer, and I cannot believe she is also a mother of twins (who are so adorable - at least in their photos!) And you can tell, she is such a great mom, just by the way she acts and she lights up when you ask her about her daughters! She is an amazing woman and very inspirational!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Well, that's an impossible question! I don't think I can answer this one because there are way too many that are my favorites. I hope that's ok!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? Willa is amazing at what she does - not only does she take incredible photojournalistic candid shots, but she is one of the BEST portrait photographers I have ever encountered! This is because her style is about capturing the real moments in set up portraits. When she was taking pictures of my husband and I for our 'bride and groom portraits' she would have us do things that we did naturally but set them up photographically nice for the camera. We just loved working with her and how she did this, because our portraits are so beautiful and stiff very much portraits, but don't look stiff and awkward! (Unfortunately some of our friend's wedding photographers weren't so good and they are really disappointed with their wedding photos! That would be sooooo sad!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? All of these things plus a slideshow of the best images on DVD, all of the high res photos on a disk, and an online gallery.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? By being very calm and relaxed herself as well as knowing what to do and how to direct a bunch of people and get all of us to listen! We're a crazy bunch and she did wonderfully!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? That's way too impossible of a question because we love all of our photos!!!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? A friend recommended Willa Kveta Photography to us and after hearing their raving reviews and seeing their gorgeous wedding photos, I decided to contact Willa and was immediately impressed! She is so easy going and professional all at once! I love her style of photography and I was so glad she was available for our wedding date since I had my heart set on her photographing our wedding! She did an AMAZING job and there really are no words to describe how happy I am with our photos! Willa is the best wedding photographer in my book! Oh yeah, to answer the questions - she just did her thing and it was spectacular! She really knows how to capture all of the right moments and turn them into beautiful photos!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? 2 photographers, a coupleof albums, an engagement session, all of our photos on a disk, a really cool slideshow, photo enhancement, an online gallery, and maybe something else I am forgetting right now.
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She was truly remarkable because even my mom who is so shy felt comfortable with Willa! We all loved having her as our photographer! We highly recommend her!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? I love all of our photos so much, but I do have a favorite! It is one of my husband and I just after the ceremony having a little private moment, looking into each other's eyes and smiling so lovingly at one another. Willa captured this photo from a distance because she was not right there, but yet you can see all of the details so clearly. It's beautifully framed with out of focus flowers on the edges, like she shot it through a bush or something. I will forever cherish this photo most of all because it sums up everything about our whole wedding!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She was quick to react to all of the changing situations and had her camera ready at all times. I was amazed at how relaxed she seemed - I would be stressed out if I had to photograph people's weddings! She seems like a natural and it is evident in her photos because they are all so gorgeous and professional!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? Everything that is mentioned above and more!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? Willa just made us feel so natural and comfortable in front of the camera and in her presence! She totally helped me calm my nerves just before the ceremony when I was freaking out, but just letting me know it was normal to be feeling so nervous and excited and crazy! I really felt good around her and she made me relax by being so relaxed and calm herself. Both of our families just loved her and keep raving to us about how great she was!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Like most people, I CAN"T CHOOSE JUST ONE!!!!!!!!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? This question is a bit strange to me because I can't imagine a wedding photographer disrupting my wedding day - I would be so mad!!! Willa obviously did not do that - she was so good at snapping pictures of everything going on around us, and somehow she made all of them look so beautiful! I was floored when we got to see the photos! I never imagined that I would love my wedding photos as much as I do!!! She was great at EVERYTHING!!!!! We love her! Can we get married again so that we can have more amazing photos taken by Willa? Seriously, I have never seen such a talented photographer! The work on her website is beautiful, but I think she has even more amazing photos saved away! She is so modest and does not advertise the fact that she is in such high demand! I loved that about her - she was just such a sweet person and so much fun to work with!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? She has different packages, but from what I can remember, they all include 2 photographers, an engagement session, all of the digital negatives from your wedding, a slideshow set to a song of all of the best photos from your wedding day. Plus she does all of this amazing work to each of the photos later on depending on what kind of style you like. We wanted an 'old' look, so she doctored up our photos to look AMAZING and so cool with that old, warn style that is becoming popular these days it seems. Can you tell, I really think she is THE BEST?
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? How? Well, she's a natural. What more is there to say? Thanks Willa! I will be forever grateful!

- What was your favorite wedding photo? Willa Kveta is THE BEST!!!! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE PHOTOS she took of us is GORGEOUS!!!!
- How did the wedding photographer avoid disrupting the day? Great with candids? Action shots? Portraits? She was so good with every detail! Working with her was so easy and she is a real natural! ALL of the photos are gorgeous...from the 'getting ready' shots, to the 'ceremony' to the 'reception' and of course my favorites are no doubt our portraits! Those we have framed on our wall! We LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!!!
- What was included in your wedding photo package? Albums? DVDs? Engagement pics? Two photographers? She includes so much in her packages...much more than lots of other photographers we talked to when we were still looking around. We had an engagement session, two photographers at our wedding, 10 hours of coverage, a GORGEOUS leather album custom designed, a DVD slideshow, ALL of our photos on a disk so we can make our own prints if we want to, an online slideshow, and a couple of other things as well!!!
- How did the photographer make you and family comfortable? She was perfect and her assistant was really awesome as well! They just seemed so natural and got us all to feel comfortable and be ourselves in front of the camera! Excellent work!
