In choosing a photographer for our wedding, we are not only looking for somebody with great skills…read moreand artistic taste, but also a pleasant person to work with, and Jared is a perfect fit for both. It is easy to see that Jared is passionate about what he does and it shows in the photographs he takes. It also impresses us how Jared actually listened to our specific needs. We have a large family who enjoy photos of a candid nature. Jared and his assistant Matt were nonintrusive during the ceremony and reception, and yet they didn't miss a thing! The candid shots perfectly captured the moments of the night as well as the personality of everybody. My family is already talking about how they would like to hire Jared for the future family weddings. Overall, we'll highly recommend Jared, he does an outstanding job. On a side note, the wedding package he offers is a great value as well.

We hired Jared as our wedding photographer and have fallen in love with him. He was professional,…read morewarm, attentive, funny, relaxed, on top of being an excellent photographer. He won us over with his enthusiasm for being our wedding photographer, and was very considerate about working within our budget. We had a chance to get to know him when we did the engagement pics a couple of months before the wedding - without the pressure of the wedding day - and had a blast taking pictures around Salem. On the wedding day, he was a gem! He was exactly what we asked for: relaxed, appropriately directive when we needed him to be, and blended in with our wedding guests with ease. Even his assistant Matt was wonderful! Family members and guests who interacted with him came up to us after to compliment him to us, so it was clear he charmed more than just me and my husband. We have been thrilled as well with the results/photos, and have gotten many compliments on our photos from others. We recommend Jared very highly for weddings, or any other event where you may need to have a photographer! Check him out! :)

I have other relationships with…read morevideographers in the area, however my client suggested I call Good Life Productions...now I don't think I'll ever call anyone else. Their ability to get nervous nellies in front of the camera to feel more comfortable is fascinating to watch. And the fact that they actually exceeded an already impossibly aggressive schedule just cements their place on my resource list. All of this is amazing to me, however the reason I will call them again is due to their crystal clear communication, high level of professionalism coupled with a down to earth sense of humor, and their talents (behind the camera as well as pre- and post-production).

It is not quite as often that we take the time to pour on the compliments or give the highest possible ratings to the people who deserve it the most. My daughter, Lila, recently had the opportunity to be photographed by an amazing and talented photographer named Ian Cowpar (of Saxon Cross photography). Aside from the fact that he has photographed both of my girls before and we have become friends, I feel that if I do not proclaim from the mountain tops that he is EXCEPTIONAL at his craft; I would be doing others a great disservice. I will start with the obvious. Not many people enjoy being photographed. Yes, some do not mind, but generally speaking, most of us are not ready to hop in front of the lens without a bit of anxiety. Ian has a way of working with his subjects that is so disarming and light. He is inviting in nature and actually encourages the subject to actively participate in the shots, looking at some of them as the shoot takes place. It is so obvious that he wants his clients to be completely relaxed and trust him and one would have a difficult time being nervous or anxious due to the way he communicates. He is funny and light yet serious about his craft and precise in his techniques. It was amazing how he captured so many perfect shots without many retakes if any. That is talent. Anyone can press a button, but Ian is watching the set/scene, the natural lighting, the shadows and everything in between. All of this without being the least bit distracted. It would actually be impossible to "get lucky" with that many superior photos and therefore it is more than just our opinion that he is so good (Nobody is that lucky!) He is super-excited, but not hyper. He is swift,but not rushed and his timing is meticulous. Ian is like a one-man band with his "trunk full of goodies". He momentarily ducked into his car emerging with a bright green "pop-tent" so that Lila could change outfits right there on the beach, privately. When she was able to quickly change-she instantly had a brand new look without missing the beautiful sunset. He has an arsenal of lenses and light defusing equipment close by at all time and he switches back and forth producing multiple versions of shots with different effects using shadows, natural light and flashes. He makes it look way-too-easy! Ian's pricing is affordable and fair and he delivers MUCH MORE than what you pay for. He is dependable, prompt, energetic, funny and cares about his craft immensely. The turn-around time was nuts-we were looking at some of the finished work within hours. The excitement we felt through his emails showing us the finished photos would fool most into thinking that he was talking about photos of his own child. I would HIGHLY recommend that you book a session with this GEM of a guy and photographer. You simply cannot go wrong with Ian and Saxon Cross Photography. I have been fortunate to see the work of dozens of his clients and he ALWAYS comes through on top. Everyone is happy and raving about him and his work. We will all need to hire a photographer at some point in our lives...parties, weddings, baptisms, school/senior photos, and family reunions...but once you experience Ian's talents-believe me, you will find more reasons to book a session with him! My husband and I have been lucky to have him work with both of our girls and look forward to our upcoming family-photo which he just put on his books!!

Very good quality photos at a fair price. He can also help with videos and 3D Matterport tours. I can't say enough about Saxon Cross. Give him a call and you won't be disappointed.

I've never used him for events, but have seen his work for weddings and other special occasions and his work looks equally as great as the real estate photos he has helped me with.

They really know how to put you at ease and bring out your best. I continue to be astonished with how they are able to capture the essence of a person! My eldest son just had his senior portraits taken by them, and it gives me chills to compare our photos over the years. Glenn was able to capture each stage of his growth and give us a true memory of that time in my son's life, but that same person was always shining through, even as a toddler. Amazing! Recently, I also hired Glenn and April to take photos for my business. What fun we had! We are a team of 6 women of all ages, and each of us received a lovely individual photo. Our team photos were the best! They really showed how unique we all are, but also what a great team we are. My clients were so impressed! All in all, I would give Glenn and April my highest recommendation!

On August 2015 is when we got married and did not receive our wedding "un-proofed" photos until May…read more2016 and we received our wedding album in June 2016. We were completely horrified, disgusted and disappointed that it took almost one year for us to receive our product. This took us completely by surprise because our engagement session went well and had received our photos in a timely manner. I would never recommend nor would we utilize their services again. Punctuality, Organization, and Customer service is not a top priority for Scky Art studios. 07/15/2016-In light of the owners response below..... it is evident that this business does not take any accountability for their actions. I was extremely generous in my previous review and was trying to refrain from exposing various facts. Let me add, that our contract was 4,300.00 and was signed on November of 2014 for our wedding on August 2015. By the time that we were at our last two payments of our contract AFTER the photos had already been taken, I was informed that there was "mistake" on the contract . That when the contract was finalized the taxes had been "miscalculated" (1 year later) which was over 700.00. At that point we felt forced to either pay the taxes or downgrade our package.Since it was AFTER the wedding and our budget had already met. We felt we had no choice but to downgrade All of the upgrades( for example: a bigger album and 2 parent albums) that we had paid for in advance (700.00) to keep our payments as negotiated; to make up the money for "taxes " as the owner would not budge on THEIR MISTAKE. My husband and I were completely understanding with certain situations that the owner was dealing with. For Example: she had been out for some time due to unforeseen circumstances (which put us back two months) , a complete turn over of essential staff and not to mention we have over 70 emails in regards to edits that were not "received" and or other issues addressed to SckyArt. This vendor was the ONLY one that we had issues with in providing us with our final product. Even AFTER we had agreed that we would forfeit all upgrades to make right a mistake that was made by the company ; My husband and I had to physically go down to the studio to get our photos. Evidently, We are writing this review to notify any bride or customer that SkyArt exhibits unfavorable business practices. Bottom line: 1. This company DID receive full payment by us 2. We received our pictures extremely LATE (May/ 2016) 3. This company had no regard for us as customers following the wedding and receiving our payment 4. This company changed our contract through no fault of our own For any couple or company that is considering this company for any wedding, or high scale prestigious event; Please ensure that you establish suspense dates on when you will have your previews; dates on when to expect completed edits; and dates on when you will receive the final products. So if they only deliver high res photos of clients who pay in full? how can that be accomplished when the contract is changed? Question is what is SckyArts liability on honoring their contract?

We loved that I was able to sit in on the shoot; they have a little fuzzy bench for guests! Not to mention a bathroom down the hall and a changing room in the studio. Waldy's prompt responses, positive energy, remarkable hospitality, and great photos, combined with his personalized local restaurant recommendations, made the experience outstanding. Waldy went above and beyond, creating a relaxed atmosphere that allowed my partner to feel comfortable and confident during his shoot. It really felt like a collaborative experience, with Waldy behind the camera and me helping boost my partner's confidence so the photos felt authentic to his personality. Even without me, I'm confident Waldy would have done an amazing job; his attention to detail and thoughtful suggestions ensured a seamless and enjoyable experience. To find the studio, simply go up the stairs to the third floor; Waldy helped us find the spot. Plenty of parking on-site too. Thanks Waldy for a great experience!
