True, I have a bias, I recognize that . That aside, the pictures were wonderfully framed, they were so well composed I couldn't pick a favourite. Each one captured the emotion we felt, and did it so elegantly. I wanted to print each and every one! Each one was timeless (to us) and each one was just perfect. Our friends also commented on how beautiful the images were and they were! Putting aside the fact that pictures were just sublime for a moment, what else makes this a 5 star experience. Stephanie was responsive, communicative and thoughtful in our conversation. She was available via email and telephone and replied more swiftly than I would have even expected. She not only came thru with helpful suggestions for the day, but took time to come early and help me figure out what the heck to do when my original plan fell thru for a lack of attentiveness on my part. There is something to be said for the expertise and quick thinking on her part which enabled the day to go thru smoothly. While I would have gladly paid a lot more for the pictures, and it is hard to put a price to such a wonderful moment in our lives, I must say she is very reasonably priced. So great price, great communication, great results. My only grief here I could not give them more stars than just five.

I interned with them this summer and watching and working with them is an experience I will always cherish! They always go above and beyond for their clients and are incredibly kind people.

From start to finish, she was easy to work with. We received compliments from both sets of parents regarding Heather's professionalism and ability to maintain control when there were lots of kids family members to organize. I would highly recommend Heather, and Mandy Paige Photography, to anyone looking for a photographer!

Mandy did a fantastic job with our engagement and wedding pictures, and we would highly recommend…read moreher to any couple looking for top notch service and stunning wedding and engagement pictures! Mandy made us comfortable from the very beginning at our engagement shoot. We do not live in Cincinnati area and were coming in from out of state (for both the engagement photos and wedding), so we had never met Mandy prior to our engagement pictures. Within 2 minutes, however, we felt at ease with her, and she took some awesome engagement photos in Cincinnati. That was a good sign of things to come for the wedding! For the wedding, we went with Mandy's 9 hour package, and from beginning to end on our wedding day, Mandy and her crew did a simply fantastic job. She was punctual, and before the ceremony, she took stunning photos of my wife's dress, rings, and of my bridal party getting ready. We then did a "first look" session where my wife and I met for photos before the ceremony, and I can't recommend this enough! Not only did the pictures from this turn out to be stunning, it also helped calm my wife's nerves before the ceremony. We also did a fun series of photos with the wedding party before the ceremony, which I highly recommend (since this let us jump straight from the ceremony to the reception without any lulls in the day). Mandy and her crew also took great pictures of the ceremony and the reception, and we would also highly and strongly recommend springing for the photo booth for the reception. There is nothing quite as awesome as dressing up in costumes with your friends, parents, and grandparents in the photo booth and having those as keepsakes from your special day! The photo booth is beyond fun and proved to be a good conversation piece for the reception. It is worth the minimal extra money you will pay for it as an "add on" to your photo package. The only thing we suggest is to put together a list of any and all photos you would want before the wedding (i.e., such as pictures with certain family members) so you can make sure you don't miss anything (the day flies by!) and when working with Mandy, you probably don't need to spring for an extra photographer. We paid for the extra photographer, but given the relatively modest size of our wedding (about 90 guests) and wedding party (5 for each side), it probably wasn't as necessary as we initially thought. In short, Mandy and her crew did an awesome job from the first time we emailed her to the end of our wedding reception, and we would recommend her to anyone looking for high quality wedding and engagement pictures!

I would recommend her to anyone!

From our initial consultation, to communication leading up to and on the wedding day, they were amazing. They provided some great tools to help us give them all the information they needed and to plan the wedding day timeline as well. They were able to accommodate both of our getting ready locations, which resulted in some great memories of the whole wedding crew. When we received the images, we were beyond amazed! The pictures were better than we could have ever expected. They captured some amazing candid moments as well as beautiful poses. We feel so lucky and grateful that they were able to capture our special day.

Ben even traveled to Chicago, where we live, to shoot our engagement photos which was so special to us. Ben was so helpful during the planning process and gave us great vendor recommendations. He helped us plan the day of timeline and answered my many logistical questions. He is very experienced in the industry and provided valuable advise throughout the planning process. The weather was not looking promising a few days before the wedding and Ben calmed my nerves and came up with a rain plan. He was so cool and collected on the day of which helped me with the wedding day jitters! He was very respectful of the church's photography rules and helped the day go smoothly. Ben's second shooter was also so sweet! Besides being amazing to work with, my husband and I are so happy with how our photos came out. Ben even delivered our images a couple weeks early! He captured so many moments and emotions and it has been so fun reliving the day through our photos. Everyone was so complimentary of Ben's professionalism and we will cherish these photos forever! We really can't thank or recommend Ben enough.

My husband's first time meeting Ben was for our engagement shoot. Right away the two of them clicked! He worked with Jake on how to keep his eyes open and not tilt his head down - two things Jake is great at doing! Ben taught us so many simple skills on how to look better; from our eyes to our stances, things we will use forever. On our wedding day, and during our engagement shoot, the one thing that stood out was that Ben was just awesome to be around during such important times. The entire time he was professional, fun, and skillful. He did all the thinking for us so that we could just enjoy our moment, be ourselves, and make us look even more amazing than we felt. If we wanted something specific shot he would do it, no questions asked. Ben made us both feel so comfortable and confident and we could not be happier with how every single picture turned out!

Knowing he was attentive to just my emails and what I wanted was one less thing I had to worry about on the actual wedding day. At the ceremony, I hardly even noticed him... he wasn't a distraction to our guests and the ceremony footage was great! He covered our cocktail hour and reception too, which was perfect, because the entire night was a blur. I've watched the DVD several times and see something new each time which is why I'm so glad I decided to hire a videographer! Jeff was very reasonably priced compared to the other videographers I spoke with and he was so nice and professional throughout the process. I would highly recommend working with Jeff for any wedding videography needs - he was awesome! Thanks Jeff and Velvette Pictures! ~Ashley Cunningham
