My family was meeting up in Coloma MI for a vacation. I thought it would be great to surprise my…read moremom with a family portrait session. However, not knowing anything about the area or photographers there, I had to do some online research and hope for the best. I emailed a few photographers, and Brian seemed responsive with a good attitude and a good portfolio. When we met him, he was very personable and easy going. He found the perfect place to do our photo session, and set up quickly. He was very good with the kids and caught some fun, spontaneous moments. He was up for shooting all our requests (large group photo and lots of smaller group photos), and he knew how to guide us. Even though we had four young kids under the age of seven, the session was a breeze. The photos were perfect! Everyone was very pleased with them, and we are a picky crew. Brian has a great eye for artistic composition. He is talented and hardworking. I would definitely recommend him.

We had the privilege of having Brian take my daughter's senior photos a few weeks ago and he did a…read morephenomenal job. Brian made her feel comfortable and he was so easy to work with. He is extremely creative and has an amazing talent. All her friends that have seen her proofs are in love with them. I do not know how we weill choose as there were so many good ones. It was 90 some degrees the evening we took the photos and Brian still had a smike on his face as he was lugging stuff all around Kalamazoo. He also was so quick to get us the proofs online to view and edited the ones we chose to have edited within a couple days of taking the pictures. Amazing!!!!! I really cannot say enough good things about Brian. I highly reccomend him if you are in need of a photographer. He is a true professional. Laura Beauchamp

It's hard to know where to even begin a review for Alex. I wish there was an appropriately quick…read moreelevator speech that could sum up our gratitude for his photographic genius, calm demeanor and overall awesomeness throughout our wedding process. There was never a moment we doubted choosing Alex. We would choose him again and again and will reach out to him in the future for anniversary photography. Alex has a beautiful ability to capture all the emotions tucked beneath the surface. This is what we wanted above all else. Photography that went beyond the static and the smiles and the posing and the family portraits. Alex does just that. I know when we look back on our wedding images years from now we will be struck with the tidal wave of emotions we were feeling. The tidal wave of emotions that Alex so perfectly captured.

Alex far surpassed any expectations we had of him as our wedding photographer. We were initially…read moreattracted to his unconventional style, use of lighting and the emotion involved in his work. The vision behind his work was made evident to us when we first met him. His willingness to go the extra mile was displayed in our proposal shoot where he hid and captured the moment when my husband proposed to me. Throughout the course of our engagement, Alex was consistently willing to try new things and take risks when photographing us. During our engagement shoot, Alex walked through three feet of snow with us just to get the perfect shot! In between shoots, Alex wanted to catch up with us over dinner and always asked how we were doing or how he could help us out during the engagement process. He truly cared about us as a couple and wanted to invest in our relationship. From beginning to end, Alex communicated clearly with timelines and delivered earlier than promised. He did not cut any corners and made sure that we got exactly what we wanted and much more. The day of our wedding, Alex was such a calming presence, which was much appreciated amongst the overwhelming nature of that day. He collaborated beautifully with our videographer and day of team to capture every detail of our special day. Alex was light-hearted, optimistic and ready to crack a joke right when we needed it. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend booking Alex for your proposal, engagement, and wedding. He's fairly priced, over delivers, and his work speaks for itself. We booked him as a photographer, but ended up making a great friend. So grateful for the memories that Alex captured!!

John is a pro, and one of the nicest folks you could hope to meet…read more John was a photographer at the Kalamazoo Gazette when I worked there as a reporter, and he was super thorough, took incredible pictures and went the extra mile on all his assignments. I was always relieved when I saw that he was the photog accompanying me on a story because I knew I could count on great pictures. He also asks great questions -- which was useful for me as the reporter working with him on stories but will also be inherently wonderful for a client of his event/session photography business. He's eager to please and he consistently delivers. If you're looking for decades of professional experience from someone working in photography full-time, look no further!
