We were so comfortable and she even got my very shy husband to loosen up and get super flirty. We loved Lena's creative take on camera angles and her editing style is beautiful. The photos were a dream and I will certainly cherish them! We hope to take more photos in the future with Lena! If you want an amazing experience, we highly recommend and suggest Lena!

I had reached out to her because I love her style and inclusiveness, and told her about a very small and simple family event we had hoped to have photographed. When she saw she wasn't available she went above and beyond to connect me with talented colleagues of hers - and even checked to see if they were available first. Her responses were so kind and speedy. I was moved and truly impressed. You can see for yourself what her beautiful photography looks like, but I wanted to weigh in about what a thoughtful and responsive person she is. I hope to be able to use her in the future!

Our family had the wonderful opportunity to be photographed by the very talented Kristel Sagy…read morePhotography. I can not say enough amazing things about our experience. Let me begin by saying that her patience was that of a saint. We had a family of seven with two of them being two years old & 5 months. She never once rushed a moment and she was able to capture such special candid moments even when we weren't expecting a photo to be taken. She has that amazing ability to capture those natural moments like my grandson's little smirk and my granddaughter's belly laugh smile and turn them into a priceless memory. Her creative expression shines through in each photo. She truly has the ability and talent to catch such priceless moments with such ease and expertise. Her fee for services was more than fair and she allowed us to pick the site for the photo shoot making it more personal and special for our family. My daughter has already expressed that she wants to have the children's pictures taken by her every time she visits Saint Augustine. She spoke of previous experiences with having important moments of her family's life captured on film and said that this experience was by far the best because of Kristel's ability to consistently capture the perfect moments and I couldn't agree more. The entire family was also overjoyed with the quality of the photos she has shared with us. We honestly couldn't be happier with our experience and we look forward to having our family's memories captured by this lovely lady in the future.

It's incredibly unfortunate that I have to write this review but I feel that other brides should be…read morewarned. We hired Ashley to photograph our wedding in St. Augustine, FL which was set for November of 2020. We met with Ashley and her husband for a half hour in February of 2020 to get to know each other. We signed the contract to hire her in February 2020. One month later, March 2020, Covid hit and we had to put our wedding on hold. In July 2020, we notified ALL of our vendors that due to Covid, we had to reschedule our wedding and we didn't know exactly when it would be rescheduled for. Everyone was so understanding and on hold because of the pandemic. There is an email with this information being delivered to Ashley. She claimed that she didn't know the November wedding wasn't happening until one week before the November date, which is again, crazy because she responded to our email later in July. I tried to rehire her for our new date, June 2021, and Ashley was already booked. She then said she was going to keep our deposit of thousands of dollars, and that we were responsible for the remaining balance. I went back and forth with Ashley in emails showing her that she knew that the November date wasn't happening, but she was not budging and threatened to take "legal action" on me. What? Why? YOU kept my money for doing NO work. We gave her a handful of times to do the right thing and send our money back, and she denied our request over and over again. I ended up having to bring Ashley Steeby to court, ONE MONTH before my wedding to handle this. And then our second hearing was 14 DAYS before our wedding. Obviously, the judge ruled in our favor and ordered that she has to pay back the money we gave her once he saw all of the evidence. The anxiety I went through from this is indescribable. Planning a wedding is already a lot, then during Covid adds more stress, then this lawsuit? I wasn't sleeping, wasn't eating and was completely broken out in hives just 2 weeks before our wedding because of this woman. Ashley has now blocked me on all social media so I cannot reach her, it's been over a month month since the court ordered her to pay us back and we still haven't received anything. She has commented under this post for the FIRST time since we went to court and has been far more sweet than she has been to us in the last 6 months. Yet, she is still not apologizing or giving our money back. She didn't even reach out ONCE to apologize for how she handled the situation. I gave this woman probably a dozen chances to fix how she handled this and to clear her name, but she keeps digging a deeper hole for herself by not responding, and not returning our money. I'm a business owner and entrepreneur myself, and i can say that the way she conducted her business made me NEVER want to do business like she did. Save yourself the lawsuit, the headache, the hives and the money and find someone who will actually care about your special day, not just about the money they will make.
