Anne Staveley took our wedding to another level. She saw angles of the ceremony and reception that…read moreno one else did. Because she was familiar with our venue already, she knew exactly where to place my family and me. She knew all the great shots, the perfect poses, and she kept the sessions to a minimum so that we could enjoy the evening. She photographed our rings, our bridal party, our flower girl, our cakes - all with minimal guidance. And she made us feel at ease, and taken care of, even as she never, ever imposed. Truly, one of the most meaningful parts of our wedding will be the photos Anne Staveley took. She captured our wedding and made it more beautiful through her lens. I wept as I looked through her photos of our special day; she'd seen the beauty in everything. She took the time to photograph each couple and family , and she was patient with my many particularities. Do yourself a favor: book Anne Staveley way in advance. You won't regret it.

It isn't easy to get a bunch of guys together to take great photos, but Anne knew how to work it, and the photos are epic. Jill was the ultimate dream with the women. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. I have never felt so glamorous. I've been a part of so many weddings, and I have watched a lot of friends and family experience disappointment with their photos. Anne and Jill are both artists, not just people who decided to become wedding photographers. You see the difference when you look at their photos. A lot of my friends have used them, and they all have the most GORGEOUS photos. I recommend using FH for everything from engagement photos, to boudoir, to wedding photos. And print out your photos! Seeing them in person takes your breath away.

To Robin's response:…read more I hired you. You can check your contract. You spoke with me first and then my mother. You sent me a contract for three hours, and my mother a contract for 2 hours for the same amount. That was our warning, so there you go. Whether you think you were hired by myself or my mother (the emails are with all 3 of us), we still didn't hear from you until I reached out right before the wedding, you can go back and read your terse reply. So ghosting on a client helped you learn you need to communicate with people? Wow. My husband was held up almost an hour by the hotel misplacing our car. You know this, why are you bringing it up and blaming him for being late? I wasn't going to put my dress on until my mother was there, you know that too- In any case, the wedding started on time, everything went as planned, so what exactly are you pointing out? That there was a line item on the contract for first look sunset pics, but those weren't able to happen? It's not really anyone's fault, so you got paid for some extra time to stand around. It would have been great if you could have better occupied yourself, or at least communicated so we could suggest taking pictures of the family setting the ceremony room up. But stuff happens, again it's nobody's fault and it's unrealistic to have expectations when things get off schedule (this seems like something someone would say to a bride, not the other way around). If you think having those outdoor pictures would have made all the difference, maybe that could play into some customer service on your part. It was just a bonus thing that we tried to do with the sun out with the two of us, we are ok that it didn't happen. Here's the bottom line: You misunderstood what was being asked for at our wedding and agreed to a job that you ultimately had no interest in or skill/equipment to perform. Although, it was always going to be at night and indoors so I am so, so tired of hearing about how you "don't shoot indoors" you usually do "a few lowlight shots" and most pictures outside. Don't take the job then, or please bring a tripod (you could have borrowed ours). The lighting was amazing and we have the pictures from our own cameras to prove it. You were told the exact room the ceremony was happening in and said you had photographed it before. The first time we spoke after the pictures were shared you told me that you "also weren't happy with how they turned out". Now that has become me being unreasonable and having an attitude. This situation has been unnecessarily escalated by you taking NO responsibility or expressing any sort of remorse, and being so defensive. This was someone's one and only wedding, how exactly should I feel about you being dismissive and cold? Or blaming me because "everyone knows you're an outdoor photographer"? Actually everyone is an outdoor photographer in the High Desert, you can just show up and nature does the rest. The nature of this work is such that you will not have a lot of repeat clients. It speaks volumes about your integrity and professionalism, how you treat people after you have their money and the event is over. There are pictures you took that are okay for sharing with family and friends so they can see what happened, but anything that's going to get printed and displayed needs serious adjustment. And again you missed 60% of the guests, 2 out of 4 families, in the "family pictures" part of the evening. We're still figuring out what to do. - My review is not untrue, except for I guess Robin's demeanor having to do with the weather. I have no interest in spending time lying in such a way. In order to get my pictures I had to sign a contract saying I can't post and attribute them to her. If you would like to PM me I am happy to show you what all the commotion is about. As for this review not being 'recommended', I imagine it's because I started an account to do this rating. I am doing this because, in all of the things that could go wrong at a wedding, I never dreamed that a photographer would cause so many issues. I'm sure there are plenty of events Robin has photographed without a problem, but her reaction when there was one? Inappropriate and disappointing, and worth warning people about so they don't have to go through it. Caveat emptor. P.S. La Posada is aware of this situation and also not happy with the pictures or the venue being blamed for "poor lighting". I should mention Robin is not one of their recommended vendors. They have kindly offered to set up the room to do reshoots any time- which is great except we can't recreate the group that was there that night (Thank you anyway!). Ultimately we had a wonderful time and thankfully didn't hire Robin for the entire evening! Salud!

Robin is an amazing photographer and I can't recommend her enough. If I could give her 10 stars, I…read morewould. We will treasure the photographs that Robin captured for us for the rest of our lives. There is no doubt that wedding photography is a big investment - and one of the most important parts of the wedding planning process. So when choosing a photographer for our wedding I did numerous hours of research on photographers in the Santa Fe area. When I saw Robin's work, she was my absolute favorite from the beginning. Her work is creative and beautiful. When we met with her in person, she was thoughtful, funny, and very professional. We knew we had to hire her. We booked Robin to cover our entire wedding, from start to finish, and she just did just that. We had numerous email conversations throughout the wedding planning process. Robin is extremely responsive, and always responded to my emails within a day, most of the time within a few hours. Since we are not from the Santa Fe area she was also helpful in providing recommendations for other vendors, and I trusted her opinion. Robin was with us for nearly our entire wedding day. She arrived when I was getting ready and stayed well into the night capturing great party photos. She even joined us on the dance floor before she left for the night. Throughout it all Robin was sweet and professional. We were also very lucky because Robin typically includes an engagement session with her all day photography packages - however since we live in Los Angeles and were not in Santa Fe for an engagement shoot, Robin agreed to do a day after shoot with us in Santa Fe instead. So the day after our wedding, my (now) husband and I put our wedding attire back on, and we spent about 3 hours with Robin taking photos all around Santa Fe. Robin captured even more fabulous photos that day - ones that really showcased us, but also highlighted parts of Santa Fe. I had pretty high expectations for our wedding photographs based on Robin's excellent portfolio, but she truly exceeded all of them. I cannot speak highly enough of her, or her work. If you are thinking of hiring her for your wedding you should absolutely do so, without hesitation.

They knew I was moving to another state, and they really worked hard for me on timing so I could have them before I left. Their work surpassed all of my expectations, and their price is reasonable. Being so friendly and knowing how important these items are was icing on the cake. Again, exceptional work. Don't walk to see them, run to see them!

Freida and Diego were immortalized in lovely photos, both color and black and white, and the other artists represented (names forgotten!) included a photographer who eloquently represented 1950's Cuba with photos that seemed a cross between erotic and innocent. Given that this was a gallery with intentions to sell quality art at "quality" prices, Christopher was nonetheless so gracious and warm and inviting. The experience ranks up there with all that spontaneous moments have to offer!
