I stalled for months, even though I needed a professional photo to use on my social media. Once I…read morespoke to Sarah, and explained my anticipated discomfort - she eased my mind immediately with her empathy and her positive attitude. The photo shoot was actually very enjoyable - I loved Sarah's suggestions and her feedback, and I trusted her professional opinion. I gave her the three things that I wanted the photos to show, and she delivered! I have gotten so many compliments on my photos! She made the process extremely comfortable, and I think Sarah's photos truly captured me!

We sort of stumbled on Sarah at Desired Focus. A wedding photographer is a hugely important part of…read morethe planning stages; their job is to capture all the moments on one of the most emotional days of your life. We wanted someone who could not only capture the moment but also our personalities. We were fairly intimidated when we started shopping around. My husband has been studying photography for awhile and had some very specific ideas about his wants and don't wants. We both agreed that we wanted a photographer who would get as much right in-camera and have a subtle touch with the post-processing work. Since we were going for a pretty non-traditional wedding, we also needed someone who would "get" it... or, at least, be game for it. We lucked out with Sarah across the board. Pretty much from the moment we met her at a consult, we were sold. Not only does she have extremely solid photographic and post-processing skills, she is exceptionally nice and out-going. We had a blast at an engagement shoot in Granville. She had great ideas and was open to suggests of location/pose/etc... A couple weeks after the shoot, Sarah came by and we went through the shoot to pick out shots to enhance. Then a couple weeks later (due to technical issues), we got the results and they were fantastic! At this point, we knew we'd chosen the right person to photograph our wedding. About a month before the ceremony, we went over a shot list (our requested photographs) and asked that Sarah take as many candids as she wanted. We also gave her a warning; the event location (16-Bit bar & arcade) is quite dark and that could be an issue. On our event day, Sarah arrived promptly and went to work right away. She took mostly candid shots with a few posed shots mixed in. She blended in with the crowd so that you didn't know that she was there most of the time.. but she also mingled freely and looked like she was having as much fun as the rest of us! This past weekend we were able to get a look at the pictures. And they are amazing! They are so good that we aren't having any of them enhanced. Typically, I hate the way I photograph but she got some shots of me where I look fantastic. We are thrilled with the photographs that Sarah took. I would highly recommend her for wedding, event or portrait photography. She also teaches some photography classes every so often. Her Facebook page is more frequently updated than her website so check for her there.

A friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here taking ridiculous photos with friends after not…read morebeing with groups of people for the first few years of the Coronavirus pandemic. Not enough people RSVP'd for an actual party that night so we all bought our own tickets (adult tickets are $15 Thursdays, $25 other days) and met up there. Street parking is available but watch for signs to make sure you aren't parking somewhere that needs a pass. If you can't parallel park, maybe have someone drive who is comfortable doing it. In total, 10 people showed up including a child in a wheelchair. Our tickets were for an hour but I believe we took about 2 hours; there were maybe 4 other people we saw during that time so the owner didn't rush us out. The business has around a dozen themes and several walls with fun graphics and lights. It was easy to start our way in the back and work towards the front. Or you could start on the left or right and work your way around the U shape. It was a really fun way for us to be silly, take photos, and make good memories.

Without asking, Chris & Nicole provided us on our wedding night with pictures to share on social media, so our family and friends could be a part of the celebration. Six weeks later, we have a gallery of perfect edited wedding pics, each one more gorgeous than the next. Chris and Nicole are creative, artistic, professional photographers but, they also made our wedding day so much fun! They were easy going, spontaneous, and just had a real cool vibe about them. They provided us with traditional pics but, also so many great candids. They provided us with a detailed schedule so we knew how the day would unfold. Weeks leading to our wedding day, they kept in contact and always responded immediately when we contacted them. They even went as far as contacting the venue for us to take care of every detail. The service and photography given by Compelling Photo is impeccable and I highly recommend them for any wedding around the globe!! They are pure gems in the wedding photography world and we're forever grateful our paths crossed. They also made a video which was simple and perfect, exactly what we wanted.

One-Star Review: Extremely Dissatisfied with Service…read more I am beyond disappointed with my experience with this photographer. After completing a photo shoot, I had to repeatedly reach out just to receive what was promised.--no deadlines were met, and communication was almost nonexistent. Even after finally getting some of the photos, I'm still waiting, two weeks later, for any updates on the second set. Every time I've reached out, it's been one excuse after another--family emergencies, life issues, etc. I understand life happens, but the lack of professionalism and respect for my time is unacceptable. I will not be using this photographer again, and I do not recommend their services to anyone looking for reliability and quality.
