We just wrapped up our wedding weekend in Scottsdale and had Tasha do the photography for our…read morewedding. We couldn't have made a better choice deciding to use her services for our big day. She was extremely professional and kept the day on track for pictures. Her 2nd shooter was just as wonderful as Tasha was. She made sure we got all the shots we wanted and made sure our day wasn't just taking pictures. I can see her being wonderful for any type of photography you need too - but she's got the wedding day picture takin' down :) I hope to be able to use her again for photography one day!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with Tasha for our engagement and wedding pictures…read more She did an amazing job with everything! Not only does she take great pictures, she's efficient, thorough, and a pleasure to work with. She helped us with ideas on where to take our engagement pictures in the Phoenix area. She even traveled to Iowa to our wedding! We had a huge selection of pictures and she had them available to us in just a few weeks. We plan to continue working with Tasha for all our photography needs! We highly recommend her for any photography need!

My wife for Amanda's reference from somewhere online while we were searching for her maternity and…read morenewborn photoshoot. Had multiple options to choose from in this neighborhood, however, we are glad we chose Acapello. We booked both maternity and newborn photoshoots together as there was a $50 discount in doing so. Loved the pictures taken by Amanda. Quick turnaround from appointment to the release of the pictures. Amanda is fast and she coordinates with clients very professionally. She gives enough bandwidth and indulges in talks as well to make everyone comfortable. She has a great idea of photography shots and top-notch quality output. Our newborn did not co-operate much during the shoot and Amanda spent an extra hour almost to make the photo shoot happen without any extra charges and concerns. I would highly recommend Acapello for the professional and very classy pictures for any occasion shoot. Here prices might be a little more than the competition but I bet pictures speak by themselves and quality comes with a cost especially in photography. Attaching our maternity samples here for reference.

I just left my session this morning and I have to say I had such a positive experience. I knew what…read moreto expect going into the session. Two days ago I received a reminder for the session which also included expectations and helpful tips. Yesterday I received another reminder via text with a shorter summary of helpful tips. I really appreciated that. During our session, communication was great before, during, and after. Before the session started, Amanda and her assistant gave me a brief consultation for wardrobe (she has a closet where we can pull from many styles). During, it seemed like Amanda had a vision in her head and went for it. She knows how to pose and direct what she was trying to portray in vision/photos. She is assertive and I like it. After the session, she again summarized expectations for results and turn around time (this info is also provided in her email from two days ago). Her studio is clean and I immediately felt comfortable there and around them. The studio has relaxed vibes and music also plays during the session; no awkward silence. You can really see how much these two (Amanda and her assistant) invest in their business.

We have had Jen take pictures for us on several occasions. Her artistic eye and attention to…read moredetail make for absolutely beautiful photos. She takes the time to capture every detail of your event and is a perfectionist on editing. We got to view our photos quickly and are thrilled with all of them. Jen is very nice and accommodating and I would highly recommend her for all photo events.

We considered several photographers, but there was just something about Nina's photos that caught…read moremy eye. Her style is the perfect balance between natural, formal, and casual, and she just seems to capture the emotions of the day. Well, we just received the first round of our proofs, and my heart is literally overflowing with joy and emotion over how beautiful they are. Nina captured so many moments that I wasn't even aware of because how can one person be everywhere at once? It seems Nina and her assistant were! It should be said that I did not advise my family to arrive early for family portraits. (I didn't want to deal with corralling them.) Serendipitously, they did arrive early, and Nina quickly got them organized. Using the list of family members she had us prepare in advance, she calmly and efficiently captured beautiful family photos that will be treasured for our lifetimes. She also captured the most adorable pictures of my daughter with her friends and her cousins-- moments I was not even present for. But Nina knew that they would be timeless and meaningful and took the opportunity to create fun memories. The composition of Nina's photos is stunning. The lighting, the angles, the softness, the contrast-- everything is perfect. She finds the beauty in the surroundings and creates the prettiest backgrounds. I appreciate how efficient Nina works, yet she has a calm energy, is professional, and helps move people along. We are waiting for the full set of photos as well as our album-- I cannot wait to see what else she has in store for us!!

Nina has been doing my pictures for almost 12 years now. When my son was newborn and now he's…read morealmost 12. The pictures are so very beautiful that MANY of my friends now use her and adore her as much as I do. She's personable, she's fun, she's professional, she's agreeable and she's really really good - all in one! You will adore your pictures! And you will never need or want another photographer! I HIGHLY recommend Nina!!!!!!! We love her!

Pros: * Amy traveled to our venue, was prepared with…read morepaperwork/diagrams, & took measurements of everything * Organized & thorough * Helpful vendor recommendations. We used her caterer & florist, & they exceeded our expectations * Organized platform on google drive for all documents such as contracts, deposits, etc. * Amy worked with us from May 2021 - Oct 2022 * Rayna, Amy's daughter who attended our wedding, was very attentive She checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. She was very aware of the timeline & made sure vendors were too. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Cons: * Amy breached her contract by double-booking herself the night of our wedding. Therefore, she did not attend our wedding & she was not available for any communication the entire day of our wedding even though we contracted with her first. We were contracted with her & had our deposit paid for a full 7 months prior to the other couple that she booked herself with on the same night, so there should not have been any confusion as to her obligation to us. The contract that we signed stated, "Onsite event coordination by a Sensational Events team member - Amy Petrovsky." However, she had her daughter, Rayna, attend our wedding instead * When we told Amy that we were going to write an honest review she blocked us from all social media & from all our shared docs on our google drive from the wedding such as contracts & receipts that we uploaded. * We were not able to rent certain items from Amy, such as table numbers, because she had them reserved for the other couple's wedding that same night * Amy lied to us stating that she could not attend our event because of a "family obligation" which she informed us was her in-laws 50th wedding anniversary. However, exactly 1 month after our wedding she made social media posts wishing the other couple a happy 1-month anniversary along with a video she took at their wedding * Rayna, Amy's daughter who attended our wedding, was an "Event Assistant" for Sensational Events from May 2014 - May 2018. This is not comparable to the 25 years of experience that Amy has, which is what we thought we were paying for. * Right before our grand entrance we were informed by Rayna that some tables at the reception did not have enough chairs for the number of guests that were supposed to be seated. Rayna asked if we could pull up the seating chart on our phones, which neither one of us had. This is info that Amy should have communicated to Rayna but did not, & Rayna, with her lack of experience, did not think to check on the seating chart while setting up the morning of. Rayna also could not get ahold of Amy for this info. * The seating chart was never fixed since Rayna did not have the info she needed. Extra guests that could not fit at their assigned tables were moved to other tables instead of having chairs added to their original assigned table. This split up family and friends in an awkward way that we did not intend. * Our photographer, videographer, & DJ, informed us that they would no longer be able to work with us because Amy was not going to allow them to have contact with us. She wanted all contact to be through her, & that is not how this vendor operated. Given how much we loved this vendor, we had to tell Amy to include us in communication. From then on, Amy wouldn't communicate with them & would have us take care of communication since we "were the ones that contracted with them." * 8 months prior to our wedding, our venue asked Amy for proof of insurance for all of our vendors. Amy waited until 2 weeks before to collect this info. Our cake baker did not have insurance, so we ended up having to pay for insurance out of our own pockets because it was too late to book a different baker. * Amy advertised to us that she had a "crew" of team members, but she is the sole planner of all her events. While Rayna was there the day of, that seemed far from a crew Thankfully, our wedding turned out to be a success in the end. While we were satisfied with the wedding, we wish that we would have gone with a different planner. We are confident that there are other planners out there that could plan an amazing wedding without all of the emotional stress & inconvenience that Amy caused. DO NOT HIRE AMY PETROVSKY!

Magical, Epic Sedona Creekside Wedding - Best Day Ever!…read moreSensational is just the beginning working with Amy! It's taken some time to write a review that appropriately captures what Amy created for us and how much we truly appreciate and adore her! Our initial introduction to Amy (best Google Search result EVER!) was truly sensational right from the start. Amy is full of endless energy, caring and expertise - the fairy godmother of wedding/event planning! I had spent a lot of time on Pinterest and I had a LOT of ideas. Amy expertly guided us through the process while keeping the aesthetic vision on track and always ALWAYS thinking of every single detail (and details for the details - she is the definition of meticulous and organized!). Amy's relationships with a variety of vendors was impressive and clearly one of mutual respect and admiration. She made the process fun and exciting and ensured we had the perfect vendors for our wedding; negotiating contracts, details and thinking of things we didn't even consider. Our site required some substantial additional work to prepare and of course Amy had the perfect vendors for us and even came back to Sedona to to help with all of the details. We wanted our wedding to be on a dock on the creek and when there was a last-minute issue with the dock being constructed it turned out Amy had already considered that and had a backup plan-she had a full stage constructed out over the creek (talk about epic!). FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE One of our favorite design elements was the "swing tree." Amy immediately saw the potential in a majestic Sycamore tree on property with the vision of a romantic swing suspended from 30 feet above. She located a vendor in Russia that made a custom oak and macrame swing and installed a crystal chandelier centered above the swing and then decorated w/ a lush, stunning arrangement of flowers from top to bottom. Perfect place for our "First Look". Amy spent countless hours on our gorgeous hospitality gift bags. Sourcing items, personalizing & assembling each bag plus personal delivery to guests in hotels & vacation rentals. The entire weekend and wedding day was nothing short of magical and epic! Amy had stunning chandeliers throughout the property, twinkle lights and perfect furniture vignettes for each location. She had a dance floor installed outside with a gorgeous, giant chandelier above the center as if it was suspended from the sky. Our family absolutely couldn't wait for us to see the breathtaking transformation. Amy also suggested an Adventure Shoot and epic is an understatement. The photos are simply breathtaking! Amy will hold your hand through the entire process and on that day she literally held my hand as I hiked out onto those rocks in my dress and heels for the perfect Sedona sunset wedding photos I had dreamed of. Amy had every aspect organized to ensure each detail was captured and the entire experience, for us and the guests, flowed gracefully throughout the day/evening. Amy did it all with grace, heartfelt enthusiasm and perfect attention to detail. Our family/guests are still talking about what a magical, incredible weekend and all of the details Amy created that made it so special in every way. We were able to just enjoy our special weekend and feel absolutely confident Amy was handling everything. I am still amazed how Amy treats every client as if they are her only client and was always there every step of the way; never too busy for any question or concern. My husband said so many times how fortunate we were to have Amy and all she did for us to ensure our wedding weekend was everything we wanted it to be and more. The best compliment of all is the wonderful friendship we now share. Thank you Amy for being the most SENSATIONAL wedding planner ever, our much loved friend and making our (my...) chandelier-filled Pinterest wedding dreams come true! We love you! Tanya and Michael Heath
