No stars !!!!!…read more Unreliable, Poor Communication, and Broken Promises I'm extremely disappointed with Loving Lense and would not recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special event. They advertise that they retouch all photos, but that's not true -- we only received about 20 retouched images, and the rest were untouched. We were also promised the full wedding video, and even shipped them our hard drive as requested. Two years later -- yes, TWO years since my wedding -- we still have nothing. My husband has called twice and keeps getting the same excuse about them having "a lot of weddings." I've called as well, and they don't return my calls at all. For how much we paid, this is unacceptable. Unreturned calls, broken promises, and no final product after two years? Please do not book them unless you want stress, disappointment, and zero follow-through.

The second photographer, Jenn, she killlled it with all the groom's photos. So many awesome snaps were taken for me to look back on moments I missed throughout the day. Some amazing shots of my guests just enjoying themselves have been my favorite to look back at. Thank you so so much to Pauleen , Dustin, and Jenn!! Also, before Dustin entered my bridal suite, Pauleen asked if it was okay for him to enter, and I think even her going that extra step to ask if he could enter really was so sweet and I am so touched she was so thoughtful. During my big day when I just felt like Mickey Mouse smiling for the crowd, Pauleen and Dustin kept the energy upbeat and kept reminding me to breathe. Loved them so much!! Can't imagine my day without them. We also snuck into the Windmill Food Hall arcade to sneak some photos since we were so good on our timeline and they turned out to be some of my favorite photos! Hello new profile photo! Thank you so much to your team.

From our initial consultation calls to follow-up emails, timelines, and thoughtful attention to detail, she made us feel comfortable and special every step of the way. She truly went above and beyond by cheering us on, sending beautifully packaged welcome gifts, and later a lovely USB box with all of our wedding photos. My husband and I aren't natural "posers," and we really needed someone who could help us feel at ease while capturing beautiful moments. Brittany did exactly that. During every photo, she radiated excitement and positivity, making the experience feel effortless and fun. I honestly can't imagine having anyone else photograph such an important day. We're so grateful to have had her as part of our wedding.

Thank you to Astray Videography for capturing our wedding day on June 30th, 2024. We initially met…read moreBrittney over the phone and she was extremely kind and I could hear the passion in her voice throughout our conversation. She asked questions I didn't think of and truly made us feel involved from day one. Her and her husband, Andy, are very knowledgeable and highly experienced. Andy and his video team were extremely professional, creative, and kind to each of our bridal parties, family, friends, and guests on our big day. We never felt rushed. The energy they brought was exactly what we were looking for! Hearing from our guests "how amazing" they thought our video team was made us feel so good! We feel lucky to have had a very talented and down-to-earth team that we could laugh with and rely on at every moment throughout our day. We unfortunately could not afford to book their photography package in addition to video, so we did have a separate photographer. When booking with Astray, we spoke of this and Brittney did advise us, very respectfully, to consider booking their team as it would be smoother. SO, a tip for you, if you are considering booking both... DO IT; BOOK BOTH ASTRAY VIDEO AND ASTRAY PHOTO. I would also love to give Astray a shout-out as they were extremely professional and patient with our photographer who they did not have any previous experience working with. It made us, the Bride and Groom, feel at ease knowing we could count on Astray to help lead, navigate, and communicate important moments between the photo and video teams. They were always relaxed and very respectful. Even though we live in Arizona, we will absolutely use Astray again in the future! Traveling to have photos taken by them will be worth it. We highly recommend their team to anyone who asks and are proud of the wedding video they put together for us. It is a gift that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Something that we get to show our future children, grandchildren, and generations to come. It has also been so fun to see our wedding moments as "reels" on their social media. This is such a unique way for everyone to relive it! (especially those who weren't even at the wedding) THANK YOU for being a very important part of the most magical day of our lives and creating a unqiue wedding video for us. I wish we would have been able to book you for photos too! We are forever grateful and also look forward to seeing the raw footage as it becomes available. Thank you, thank you, thank you!! (We've attached screenshots from our wedding video to our review)

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

To be honest I didn't really care that much about a professional picture but after seeing Michele's work I want to take a new headshot monthly! She came to our office, found a nice background outside, and took probably about 8 pictures of each of us, sent us proofs the same day and retouched digital images of the ones we selected within 24 hours! Her prices are very reasonable, and her work is great! Gone are the lingering zits, crow's feet, and your smiles are dazzling on a wrinkle-free face...and it's all very natural looking. We were all amazed and joked that they looked so good we should use these pictures for Match profiles. ;) I checked out her website and portfolio and was pleased to find that she does weddings, family and just other photos too. I plan to call her for fun photos next time! Michele is very nice, a perfectionist (i.e. she'll make sure you don't have a hair loose before she takes the picture), and has incredible turnaround time. Call her. You'll be happy you did.
