I sought out a professional photographer for an updated professional photo. Diana Miller came up in…read moremy search. I reviewed her pictures and liked her approach to her professional photos and how they came out. She provided all of the information about cost, format, etc beforehand with examples of prior photos; discussed background options,etc. The photo session was in her studio where you could easily access the outdoors and have inside photo sessions. It was a comfortable experience. She took many photos and wanted to make sure that you were fully satisfied with your pictures. I am considering coming back for a family portrait at some point. The final results came out roughly a week later with touch ups for any stray hairs, tilted necklaces making the photo a breeze and easier to focus on the overall look rather than knitpick small areas. Would definitely recommend

The photos look like they belong in a magazine, the video made me cry happy tears all over again, and the photo booth was a nonstop hit with our guests. What stood out the most was their energy and professionalism. They blended in so seamlessly that we forgot the cameras were there, and yet they captured every candid smile, every tear, and every detail we worked so hard to plan. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day moment by moment. I would recommend them a thousand times over. Choosing them was one of the best wedding decisions we made.

Elizabeth is so personable, receptive, and easy to work with. I knew from my initial meeting with Elizabeth, that if I went with her as my photographer I wouldn't have anything to worry about. She went above and beyond and did so well dealing with last minute changes. Day of I changed the timeline and she ran with it. We are so glad we had Elizabeth as our photographer. We got a picture taken with almost every guest at the wedding. Elizabeth and Colby (2nd shooter) were on top of everything, and always with a smile. We are excited to go with Elizabeth with any future photography needs, and to recommend her to friends and family. If you want to have a worry free wedding in terms of photography, hire Elizabeth.

Raquel has a great way of taking a…read moreperson who wants some nifty photos but has no idea how to pose, look etc. and is nervous about the whole thing and making it all just work. All I knew was that I wanted some pictures done of my goddaughter in a Tiffany & Co. dress along with some casual shots. The whole shoot was done in 30 minutes and you would never guess that it was all taken at one local park. My goddaughter can be shy and Raquel knew exactly what to do to make her come out of her shell and show her fun & cute personality in the shots. She is just amazing at what she does, and I can't recommend her highly enough. If you were thinking about booking her- do it! But well in advance, because she's really good, and really busy!

She's taken portraits, action shots, family sessions, etc. and she never fails to disappoint. Her photos always capture the mood of the moment, perfect lighting (never washed out or too dark), great attention to detail in any retouches (the retouches are not noticeable, ever), and just all around great photography. When my youngest was born three years ago, she took the most amazing pictures, and she's magic with sleeping babies - I couldn't be more grateful to have those memories captured. I highly recommend Lisa as a photographer - for life!

Shellie and her assistant were the photographer for my wedding on 11.18.2023. I was very excited to…read morehave her, as the venue highly recommended her, and the work I'd seen of hers seemed to fit mine and my husband's style very well. Photos were the most important part of the wedding for me, outside the ceremony, so we did not choose a cheap or ill recommended photographer. Pros: -She was on time, well dressed, and nice. -She was very open about the daily timelines, likely hood of certain photos, and how photos would turn out due to unexpected (yet very welcomed) rain. Her partner kept the guys going on their timeline, and overall, we were very happy with this. -She recommended a "photo song" so my husband and I could have a photo with every person at the wedding, which we were grateful for as we were not sure we would get them with everyone before this. -She ensured that the few specific poses I had wanted, she snapped. Cons: -just before she left, I asked how long photos would take. She informed me she would send me a few sneak peaks within a week or so, for Christmas cards, and photos would take 8-10 weeks to receive. -Sneak peaks never came, despite my having emailed (with no response) on 12.14.23 and again 12.23.23. -I emailed her on 2.1.24 and 2.27.24 and was informed both times they were finishing up October photos, and mine would be next. -I emailed again on 4.1.24 and 4.11.24, to which she did not reply until 4.15.24 to let me know I would have my gallery by the end of that week. -Photos did not take 8-10 weeks as she had told me, but instead took 27 weeks (just over 6 months) to arrive. -certain photos had been missed. IE: we kissed at the alter, and then again at the end of the aisle, and we have no photos of the kiss at the end of the aisle. -my husband had a rash the day of the wedding. We were told these would be edited to remove the red on his face, but this wasn't actually done. Overall, photos turned out lovely. However, with having paid just shy of $2,500, I do wish she had been truthful about her timeline for photos turn around. In the time we waited, I became pregnant, and made it through more than half my pregnancy, before I even saw the photos of the day I married my husband. To say I was disappointed in the timeline, and her lack of honesty about getting sneak peak photos to me prior to Christmas, and all photos on time in general, would be an understatement.

From the beginning, we were incredibly impressed by his professionalism, talent, and personal approach. Colby took the time to get to know us both as individuals and as a couple before the wedding, which made a huge difference on the big day. Even though he wasn't our photographer, we were so impressed with his work and how comfortable he made us feel that we knew we'd want to work with him again for future events--and boy, are we glad we did! On the wedding day, Colby brought such a relaxed yet focused energy, which made everything seamless. He made the experience fun, capturing all of our most cherished moments in a breathtaking video. We still watch it regularly to reminisce! He also provided us with a fully edited video very quickly after the wedding, along with the most adorable keepsake--a wooden box with a handheld video display inside. It's a memory we'll treasure forever and something we're excited to share with our family for years to come. Fast forward a year, and my husband and I are now expecting our first child. Knowing how amazing Colby was at our wedding, we immediately thought of him for our maternity photoshoot, even though he hadn't done our photography on our wedding day. My husband reached out to Colby last minute to organize a surprise shoot, and Colby was so accommodating--he fit us in that same week! Once again, he brought his A-game, and the photo session was just as effortless and enjoyable as our wedding day. Colby captured this special moment in our lives beautifully, and we received the photos promptly after the shoot. We're absolutely in love with how they turned out, and it's clear that Colby is not only an incredible videographer but also a phenomenal photographer. We can't recommend Colby enough! Whether you need a videographer, a photographer, or both, Colby is the person you want by your side to capture life's most precious moments. We would 100% work with him again and recommend him to everyone we know!

I studied videography and filmmaking in school, and currently create video content, so when…read morechoosing my wedding videographer, I had VERY high standards. A few things I was looking for: - Creative + cinematic footage shot from different angles. - Usage of visual footage, music, and audio from vows/speeches to tell a story (which includes rising action and a climax). - Audience retention: keeping my viewers excited the entire length of the film (if the film was going to be 10 minutes long, I wanted my viewers to feel like it was much shorter since they were engaged the entire time, rather than doze off in boredom). - Overall I wanted someone to create a cinematic film rather than just a video. Vitaily from Aperina checked ALL of those boxes. After months of researching videographers, I only needed to watch 1 of his samples to know immediately that he was going to be perfect for us. We got a sneak peek of his work when he made us a short engagement / save-the-date film to send to our invitees. Our family/friends were blown away by this, and some even said "your engagement film was better than some people's wedding films" or "If this is just the engagement one, I can't wait to see what he does for your wedding!" On our wedding day, I loved watching his creativity flow when capturing footage. I was able to completely trust his work, and never had to give him any direction (which was super important for me to be able to live in the moment that day!) We received the final product 3 months after the wedding, and he absolutely exceeded our expectations and created the most beautiful wedding film for us. Vitaliy was truly our dream videographer, and we could not be happier with our entire journey with him. Take this from someone who knows a little bit about filmmaking - I can't recommend Vitaliy enough! Book him for your wedding, and you will be so glad that you did!
