ALL 5-Star Reviews from Couples on The Knot and Wedding Wire
Harmony is the absolute best. My husband and I are not “picture people”. So when we were talking to photographers for our wedding day we really were looking for someone who we could connect with and who would get our style. Harmony was just the person for the job! In our engagement shoot, she gave us great direction to make sure we got epic photos. Her approach is very natural pictures that don’t come out looking staged at all. I couldn’t believe how beautiful they came out! For wedding day, she manages time well and even made up for bridal hair and make up being behind. I cried when I saw the first looks after the wedding! She captured the joy from everyone and for the first time I had pictures I couldn’t wait to print and hang. During the day she also made it easy. Understanding we wanted to spend as much time with our guests she was able to capture moments quickly and get us back to our day! I can’t wait to see the final photos but just the first looks and social media posts have been incredible and I just can’t recommend her enough. I’d give her 10 stars if I could.

What can I say! We just received our wedding photos. We were blown away! They turned out amazing! The day of our wedding my we felt so comfortable working with Harmony and her team. Honestly our personalities meshed really well that it really transitioned to the outcome of our wedding photos. Our wedding party & Harmony Photography had a blast during our photos. So trust me! She is the real deal!

Harmony is absolutely amazing. We first came across her work when she did my sister’s & brother in law’s engagement shoot and got to know her better at their wedding. We were so impressed with her skill, creativity, and commitment to get the perfect shot. So of course we hired her for our own wedding! Harmony is sunshine in human form and makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera, even if you’re not used to being photographed. Her guidance and suggestions were a lifesaver and we got the most amazing photos we could ask for. We will 100% hire her for any future photography needs we have. Thank you Harmony for everything!

We had the best time with Harmony. She eased our nerves since we had never taken professional photos before. Very easy to work with and our engagement pictures came out better than I could imagine. Thank you again for these beautiful memories!

We contacted Harmony for our 2021 wedding in Kodiak, Alaska. She was excellent in communicating with us ahead of time, meeting us over video calls as we all got to know each other while discussing the logistics and wishes for what we wanted in our wedding day pictures. She flew up a bit ahead of time to meet us in person and was incredibly helpful in the photography department and more, clearly knowledgable and professional but also a genuinely calm, fun and happy person to be around. We were thrilled to be able to show her some of rural Alaska as we hiked up ocean-side trails for our bridal shoot, up steep rocky roads for our first look and hanging around the bonfire with our friends and family through the reception. We were equally thrilled with the photos we received after. They were expressive, had a great range of goofy "realness" to artistic posing and as someone who isn't use to being on the business end of a camera she made us feel very relaxed, having a great time while we worked. Love the photos, loved meeting Harmony, and would HIGHLY recommend to other brides.

My husband and I started looking for photographers in 2019. We met with a couple contenders, but absolutely loved Harmony’s vibe. There was no hard sell, she truly wanted us to be happy with whomever we picked. We are so happy we picked her. She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We also picked the package with a second shooter (for the wedding day), which I definitely recommend if it’s within your budget. We went to Balboa for our engagement photo session. My (now husband) and I both had a blast. Harmony constantly made us both laugh, making for some absolutely amazing photos. She was able to capture the true essence of “us.” She had multiple spots for us to go, giving us a number of beautiful backgrounds for our photos. This woman is also not afraid to jump into a bush to get the best photos. 😂 My husband rides a motorcycle, and Harmony had him bring it to incorporate it into some of our photos! On our wedding day she showed up on time and got right to work; taking detail photos of my accessories. She felt like one of the girls while taking photos of me and my bridesmaids. We got ready at a separate location from were the ceremony/reception was. She left before us, to make sure the guys were hidden away before I showed up in my dress. She truly went above and beyond in making sure the day ran perfectly smooth. Harmony captured our day perfectly. She got every single photo that we wanted; including an absolutely beautiful night photo. We got married at my best friends house, and she was able to pinpoint the most perfect spots for our photos to be taken. Just like with the engagement photos, we took photos in multiple spots. It was so fun having her be a part of our big day! Our wedding was one of the ones that was effected by COVID-19. Our wedding was postponed an entire year, and approximately three months before the actual date, our venue completely changed. She was so supportive of us through the entire thing, and was happy to roll with all of my location changes. She was NEVER an added stress throughout the changes, which is not something I can say about all of our vendors. We are truly thankful to have found her and we HIGHLY recommend you choose her to capture your special day too.

Harmony’s photos are absolutely STUNNING! The light that she captures is a bright, yet soft and warm glow. The compositions feel natural and not overly posed. Not only are the photos gorgeous, but the experience itself was a fun adventure along a cliffside and beach. Harmony guided us through the process so naturally that we almost forgot that we were taking photos as we enjoyed the beautiful weather and California scenery. I would recommend Harmony Haft to everyone looking for incredible photography, a fun experience, and an affordable price.

WE LOVED HARMONY! She worked for our friend’s wedding and right away we knew we wanted to hire her. She had the style we were looking for. We were comfortable working with her throughout the wedding. She’s so great at communicating, always checked in with us during the whole wedding planning process, and updated us about the status of our wedding photos after our wedding. Our pictures came out so beautiful! She suggested a lot of poses we were hesitant about and they came out better than we thought! So glad we got to work with her ❤️

We hired Harmony Haft to photograph our wedding & she did a great job! She arrived early on the day of the wedding & communicated with us over text to coordinate photos (while groom/bride still weren't seeing each other yet). They were so professional in their handling of our family photos at the wedding & reception. Additionally, Harmony & Kristina (second shooter) were so kind and were willing to accommodate our desired shots both at the ceremony and reception. It was so wonderful to have them at our wedding! I would definitely book again if we need a photographer in the future!

Harmony was so cool and nice! She was flexible and went above and beyond to accommodate our requests! My husband doesn’t like getting photos taken but he said he had a great time and it wasn’t uncomfortable at all! I love Harmony’s natural view and making the photos look better than real life but not overly filtered. I highly recommend her for all your photography needs!

Harmony is amazing and a master of her craft!!! I can’t say enough great things about our experience. She is professional, sweet, laidback and takes the most amazing pics. Our wedding photos were beautifully captured without looking staged. You will NOT be disappointed with Harmony!!!! If I could give her 6 stars I would...

Harmony was wonderful to work with! My husband and I wanted to make the most of our time at our reception and Harmony made that happen. She helped us plan the best times to sneak away for quick sunset photo and kept things moving when family photos started to take up too much time. She was on time for everything and was very responsive. Most importantly, our photos turned out AMAZING! We have had so many compliments and the photos captured our relationship and personalities perfectly. You're missing out if you don't go with Harmony!

"Harmony was such a pleasure to work with. She is so easygoing and made us feel really comfortable during the entire process of our engagement/wedding photos. Harmony really goes above and beyond to make sure you get AMAZING photos. Her level of creativity is off the charts. On my wedding day my friends and wedding guests let me know they were impressed with her too! We’re so glad that we chose her to capture our special day."

This is long overdue, but a testament to how much we loved the amazing job that Harmony did photographing our wedding. When we looked for a wedding photographer, we looked for people whose subjects all looked happy. Every person in Harmony’s photos just glowed, whether bride or groom, family or guest. Harmony went to the wedding site in advance of the ceremony to study the venue and lighting. She was very organized, making sure she captured the list of all our ‘must have’ photos. And she was on top of both the schedule and the communications of who needed to be where, and when. When we asked last minute to have a 2nd photographer assist her, she immediately found Ryan, and he was absolutely stellar. They were a great duo, and the entire family—from antsy infants and children to elderly who couldn’t easily get around—had a fun time during the photo shoot because Harmony and Ryan kept us calm and laughing. In fact, we enjoyed Harmony and Ryan so much that we asked to extend their time at the reception, and we were so glad we did. The pictures they caught were just incredible. Harmony’s photojournalist background comes shining through in the amazing ways in which she captured the special moments of the evening. We loved each and every photo, and the stories they tell. I really can’t recommend Harmony highly enough. She is truly a fantastic photographer, so nice to work with, and I feel incredibly lucky that my (now) husband and I were fortunate enough to get her as our wedding photographer.

“Harmony is WONDERFUL! Book her now! But seriously, having her photograph our wedding was the best decision we made. Not only is Harmony's photography amazing and artistic, but her personality makes everything more fun and she's up for anything! She even did our December engagement shoot in the freezing cold in Georgetown! We were all frozen but still having a blast. The hot chocolate afterwards really hit the spot. On our wedding day, Harmony was this peaceful presence that existed within the chaos! When everyone else was stressed or rushed, Harmony was close by and calm with a smile on her face. She put my mind at ease and really helped me just enjoy the moment, which she so beautifully captured in her photographs. I can't say enough about her and her photography. I'm so happy she came back to DC to shoot our wedding! It wouldn't have been the same without her :D”
