You know when you want to leave more than just 5 stars and say that someone should earn 1000% for a…read morereview? Well that is how I feel about Amanda and our experience with her shooting our family photos. I was referred to Amanda because her peers felt that her skills are extra highlighted when it comes to a family shoot. Family shoots come with the territory of little children, messes, crying, not happy campers and potentially having up to like 18 people in one group. My first phone conversation with Amanda made me feel like I have known her for years and that it was going to be just another normal shoot. Except no I have never met this fantastic lady and no she did not know what she was getting her self into when I asked if my extended family was okay to bring to our small family shoot. When we got to our location I was welcomed with a hug and huge smile like we were old friends meeting up for coffee. That is the experience and customer service you get with this photographer. She made our little boy laugh with her silly faces, jumps in the air and her conversation at eye level. Qualities that any mom would look for when realizing she just wants a few perfect pictures of their little one. We never once felt rushed, against the clock or that she wouldn't hear our ideas for pictures. Amanda was quick to getting our family albums back to us with constant communication of what her status was. Once I received our album, I saved about 180 of the images just on my phone because each one was PERFECTION!! I was so happy that I was referred to Amanda because I have found our family photographer for life and I can't wait for the next session! If you decide to pick Amanda, you won't be disappointed and if you don't pick her well than you just missed out not only on great quality work but an amazing friendship with one of the sweetest photographers I've ever met!!!

It seems a huge shame that a few reviews might scare people away from Jay's excellent work! He's…read moreabsolutely a five-star wedding photographer and was wonderful to work with. I admit, I was nervous after we sent an inquiry for our wedding based on his beautiful website portfolio, and then noticed he had such mixed ratings on Yelp and The Knot. We didn't have any referrals to go off of. Thankfully, the strength of his photos made us continue on. From looking at his website, we thought his compositions and choices were a cut above every other photographer we looked at. He had a semi-journalistic style (candidly capturing the action like you're there) that we both loved. My now-husband was set on him if at all possible. We asked him upfront about the negative reviews, and he was very calm and non-defensive about our hesitations and shared his thoughts on what may have happened. Our impression was that there were some extenuating circumstances of the reviews (and the same handful posted on multiple sites). Also, although he didn't say this, it seems that he doesn't spend his time being a salesman, for the most part. He didn't have slick vibes and hasn't bothered to polish his Yelp/platform image or solicit reviews -- he never nudged us for one, although other wedding vendors did. His approach may be because he gets work through word of mouth in his home city of Eugene, OR and doesn't bill himself as just a wedding photographer: he also photographs maternity, portraits, and other types of photography. He clearly does a lot of work and doesn't ask for reviews or he would have a lot of positive reviews! From our experience, Jay is authentic, highly skilled, professional, and reliable. The one thing that may bug a few people is he is not always the fastest communicator via email when he gets busy, but we thought he was speedy where it counted. His contract was reasonable and his rates were also very reasonable for a photographer of his caliber. He also put a lot of thought into building buffer in his travel, which I appreciated because there's a little more concern about flight delays when working with an out-of-town photographer. We flew him out first for an engagement shoot with us in San Francisco and he didn't charge us anything more beyond the travel expense (it was included in the package we selected). This served as a way to get to know each other before the big day -- highly recommend an engagement shoot for any wedding photographer you choose. He made us very comfortable and gave gentle guidance about how to pose for the best effect. During COVID times, he respectfully wore a mask. He was really generous with his time and very open to the kinds of shots we were hoping for, in multiple locations. We re-shot our proposal, which was originally done when we were alone, and he really captured the emotion. Before the day, he was also very encouraging of coming as we were and taking shots that felt like us -- I went with dressy jeans and a meaningful t-shirt in some shots and a nice sweater in some others. He made an album of so many wonderful shots. I was a little stressed out on our wedding day that I'd asked to do so many different group portrait shots, but in the end I was glad I had. Jay was detail-oriented and tracked to make sure we got every portrait and group photo on our list. He had people fix their ties, hair, and accessories before the photos, and kept people talking and laughing while he snapped. He was very flexible to what we wanted with just enough suggestions/tips for where to put one's hands, legs, etc. All the guests seemed very comfortable with him and were impressed by his affability and observational skills. He got so many shots of us and our guests having a great time that we love. He had an eye for dramatic moments and framing without us having to say anything specifically. We also generally asked him to get some pictures of the scenery, atmosphere and tables and he came through with great artistic shots that preserved some areas of the wedding we hadn't even seen. Amazingly, he came right from another wedding the previous day, and on 3.5 hours sleep he completely killed it. He didn't even tell us, but one of my husband's groomsmen (who was operating our video camera and thus a photography insider) found out that Jay got a lens error during the ceremony kiss and immediately dropped the camera and picked up his other one and got the shot! This is the pro level you pay for. Jay also went above and beyond, Photoshopping some pictures of our family members who had to wear masks for our event--after thoughtfully preparing substitute photos with the same lighting on the day--so they could safely have key group pictures of themselves without masks. Got our well-curated photo set back within 4 months, which was shorter than some of my friends' experiences, and we will treasure it always. We felt super lucky to have Jay as our wedding photographer and would recommend him to anyone!

Heather brings not only an amazing team, skill, and professionalism to her work--she brings fun! And that fun is EVERYTHING when it comes to looking relaxed, real, and joyful. Here's why I'm grateful I made a bigger investment in her work: Author and productivity expert Michael Hyatt says content designed to include compelling images can average 94% more total views than words alone. 94%! Today I put together the powerpoint for a video which will be the foundation for my new sales strategy. I used 8 of the photos in that presentation. It's great to have more options! This video is the fulcrum where clients will decide if they want to chat with me. The more clients that say YES to the energy in those photos, the more clients I'll have chats with. More folks attracted to the presentation means more overall clients after a live chat. Just ONE client will pay the bill for my chosen photos. My business coach is completely wow'ed by the affect. "These shots are gorgeous! They totally align with your message," she says. "I kept leaning in and asking myself if they might be AI, but I can see that they're *you* through and through." Worth the investment? You betcha. Thanks Heather and team for an outrageously fun photo shoot and images that will warm my heart and fill my bank account for years to come!

With all…read moreof the time, effort and money put towards our big day, we wanted to be sure we selected a photographer that we trusted to document the evening for us. We completely lucked out with Jayme and Russ. From the beginning, we were awed by their portfolio. Their photography captures its occupants in their natural state, where the emotions and expressions are both pure and raw - which is what we were looking for. They know how to artfully position themselves to capture the best angles for their work. After reaching out to them, the second perk we discovered is that they are a husband and wife team who can work together and capture the same moments from different angles. Their skills individually are exceptional and we were ecstatic to get have two high-caliber photographers for our day. We primarily communicated via email/phone and had all the details worked out prior to the wedding. Once the big day arrived, Jayme and Russ knew the schedule but were still great just going with the flow. I took about an hour longer getting ready than we expected - oh well :) Throughout the day and evening, they were always there but never intrusive, demanding or in the way. When the photos were ready to view, we were again blown away. They did an outstanding job of capturing our day. I cannot give them enough praise.The way they created our album tells a complete story from front to back. We will reach out to them for any photoshoots we may have in the future. Our photos were also picked up by Eugene Weddings magazine and they did a little story featuring us. This was a fun bonus after all of the preparation that went into planning the day.
