Duron is incredibly talented and is an artist in his photographs. I am grateful and feel so lucky…read moreto have had him take pictures for my wedding. I first met Duron 8 years ago for pictures with my dog and I decided that one day when I got married, I'd love for him to take my wedding photos. That day came recently and he delivered. He arrived early to scope out the location (outdoors) and brought not one but two cameras for the day. He took hundreds of pictures and knew exactly where to place our guests in the pictures. They turned out really well and he had them ready really quickly. His prices are actually very very reasonable after comparing several photographers in the area. He is also very easy to work with. His turn-around-time is quick and he's very easy to communicate with. My guests even had beautiful pictures of themselves as well. My favorite part is that Duron knows what details look good. He's creative. He asked to borrow my ring during the day and next thing I know there's a gorgeous photo of my ring displayed in my bouquet! I highly recommend Duron as a photographer because he's a professional who not only has incredible equipment but more importantly- a great eye for detail and symmetry. He captures brilliant memories which we can now treasure forever of our special moment.

I originally learned about Evan J Thomas Photography through some family friends. I was looking for…read morea photographer for the day of my wedding shower and our wedding photographer was not available, so I started the search for another photographer. I know it may sound like a lot to hire a professional photographer for my shower, but the reality was that I wanted my friends and family to enjoy the shower and not have to walk around with a camera. It was really intended to take a load off of the guests and my sister and bridesmaids so they could enjoy the day along with me. I never actually met with Evan before the day of the shower, and my shower was a surprise to me. I mean, I knew the date and that it was going to be held at my parent's home, but I didn't know the theme or even who was going to be coming. When I walked through the door of parent's home, I found a Walt Disney themed shower and was blown away! I love Mickey Mouse and all his friends! I know, how corny am I?? But I'm just a big kid. In fact, we went to Walt Disney World for our honeymoon. Evan had arrived before I did so he captured my reaction when I walked through the door. He caught my husband and I hugging our parents and friends when we arrived. He captured all the little touches our bridesmaids, friends, sisters and parents had put into our shower. He got some great photos of the food before it was touched, he took beautiful photos of us open up our gifts and our reaction to all! He was professional and unobtrusive. I loved him!! I have since learned he does individual photo sessions for families, babies, children, head shots, model portfolios, boudoir, engagement, wedding, sports, concerts and really any moment you want to capture. You can see some samples of his work on his website: http://www.evanjthomas.com/ Thank you Evan for capturing the memories of such a special day for my husband and I. You are a rock star!

He talks with you about your needs, situation, equipment, etc and gives you his honest opinion about what your next steps should be. We have had prints made, corporate portraits taken, camera equipment repaired, passport photos taken, etc. I just brought in a nonworking 35mm camera (probably 15 years old) - with partially exposed film in it. He was able to work with it and pull prints off after it sat for over 6 years in that state! My husband received an award which we needed photographed for our web site. This is a VERY difficult piece to photograph due to all the angles and design of the piece - plus we needed a background color that matched our website. The photographs turned out beautiful! The work he does is always so professional, and done with great care. You definitely know his passion for his work. His classes are a lot of fun and truly informational - I certainly did not need to know anything about cameras coming in! His knowledge is so expansive that even the most seasoned professionals will be able to discuss their situations and needs with him as well - many camera stores I have been in have not been able to talk to me in terms I could understand. Keith, a United States Marine veteran, has supported many military and veteran events with his time and talent. He is a big part of the community - geographically and militarily - something we look for in our business relationships. His patience, passion, and commitment to his profession are very evident. I highly recommend Keith French Photography for all of your photographic needs.

She had some great recommendations on where to take pictures in the area of our reception as well as appeasing my interest in high tailing it downtown to take pictures and then back to the reception. Brenda just put me at such ease every time we talked, the last time I saw her was dropping off the pictures for the wedding dvd and she hugged me and wished me luck! I'm sad I won't need to work with them anymore. Both our parents used Edward fox over 30 years ago so we felt safe with a company that has a good reputation. We felt the pricing was fair and we took advantage of bridal show discounts and promotions they emailed. Our photographer deserves his own review on yelp but since he doesn't have a private company I've written them on wedding wire, facebook etc. for David Loeb. I've never worked with a better photographer and hope to use him again in the future. With our great experience at Edward Fox three other friends of mine have booked them for their wedding photographers as well.

The biggest issue I have is that I was not directed or helped enough with telling Todd what kind of…read morephotos I wanted. He asked all the questions and I gave him my answers, but that was it. This backfired on me badly. This is my first time getting married, how am I suppose to know what to say besides answering the questions you ask me?? There was no list to given to me to choose from different ideas on what other couples normally do. Todd really had a strong personality which some of my bridesmaids and family members could not handle. He should be aware when making jokes how to read people's reactions. There were so many photos missing of people and awkward photos that were put into our online album, for example: -my moms hair piece (she was very upset about this) -very limited pictures of the men getting ready compared to mine -about 60+ photos of my face that were close up (unnecessary) -Reception: only 17 out of 130 guests photographed!! So upset about this. -Dancing: only 45 pictures of people (which a lot of people were in multiple photos/repeat shots). Todd was there for at least an hour of dancing, I am not sure how it's possible to get that few. -Cocktail hour: only 57 photos with 16 of people -Ceremony: only 4-5 guests were photographed -Band: we had an awesome band and there were hardly any photos of the band as a whole -No picture of all of us at the head table Overall the outdoor pictures of Rob and I with family members turned out beautiful. However, I am very sad that more of our guests did not make it into the pictures. As you can see from the stats there were probably only 20-30 different people photographed. Very disappointed. What did we get from all of this? A "it was in your contract" and a photo album. Not pleased with this company.
