On April 21 I recently got Married at the Redondo Beach and Marina Crowne Plaza, the entire process…read moreof planning a wedding is very stressful. It also seems like every vendor is has their own agenda which further complicates the entire process. This is why I loved the work that Yuliya and Oleksiy did for our wedding, I just got a copy of the pictures and I couldn't be more pleased. All you have to do is a take a look at their web site to see they are great photographers and the work they did for us was phenomenal. I guess as some one who has just gone through the whole process I see value in this review if I can express or share something you can't get from a contract, email exchange the many things you can gleam from the long grueling and painful wedding planning process. This is the one moment of truth item, its the fact that they cared and did the things they had to do to make it a great experience, believe me when i tell you not every vendor cares. The Yuka team was extremely friendly to our guests, they stuck to the letter of the contract and if anything exceeded our expectations. They were so kind and it made the day easy. Yuliya and Oleksiy cared and it showed in the product from the actual day of the wedding up until i just got a copy of my pictures a few minutes ago. Yulia has a great eye, she was able to see locations, opportunities and venues and and take advantage of them and it resulted in great pictures. She has the patience of a saint listening to the various photo suggestions people in the wedding party, in addition to family members. They were devoted through out the whole process and if we have an opportunity we would use them again. Yuliya and Oleksiy also handled my sisters weddings and they both feel the same way I do. If you want to to check one thing out of your list of potential stressful items I would recommend going with Yuka

As I looked for a nice wedding photographer, I checked everyone's works endlessly till I came across with her website. I loved it and I love our pictures taken by her and her assistant. Great shots and wonderful mood created on that special day by her will always be intersting to remember years later. Highly recommend Jessica Ahrens!

She needs to work on her skill a little more. 2nd time she has taken pics of my daughter. Her…read moredance studio has her come in to take the pics. Both times were not great. Her pics are either really close up or very far away. Doesn't pose the kids, I'm all for non posed pics however when it's for dance that's completely different. The lighting is always bad. I take better pics. Her new thing is she puts these extremely heavy watermarks on her digital images so you can't print them out. While I understand that concept, these were so obnoxious me and my sister both said the same thing about our kids pics. We couldn't really tell what we were purchasing. So blurry. When I contacted her she said replied with, adorable, lots of smiles. Sure, because she can actually see them, I can't. What would she say, oh they look awful? When telling her I couldn't really tell due to the watermark, she ignored me and never emailed me back again. I think she just assumes if parents want a pic of their kid in their costumes that bad they will pay for it. And she would be correct. Here I am after going back and forth with frustration ended up giving in and purchasing the 3 I felt looked decent. When the watermark was removed after I paid of course, I wish I haven't done that. Should have went with my gut on this one and not purchased. Each digital download was $35 or you get 5 images for $100 as a package deal. I couldn't even pic out 5 good ones out a total of 34 images she took. Save your money. Hire someone else. If her studio has her come back, I definitely won't be sending my daughter in on pic day. Waste of good hair, costumes, and makeup.

With the birth of my second child approaching, I was searching for a photographer to capture…read morepictures of my family and newborn. I had seen Jessica's work on Facebook and was referred by a friend who had nothing but great things to say. I purchased a large photo package which included maternity photos and pictures of my baby right after she born, at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. I knew what I wanted my photo package to look like and Jessica was very accommodating. Good photos aren't cheap, but I found Jessica's prices to be comparable to other photographers. Our first photo shoot was done outside. My son didn't cooperate at all, but she still managed to get great pictures. Our second photo shoot was for my daughter's newborn photos and that was done in her studio. The studio was a clean professional space that was decorated very nicely. One thing that I love about Jessica is the number of photos she gives you. You definitely get your money's worth! Jessica also prides herself on getting you your photos on time!

We absolutely adore Amy and her work! She really is an amazing photographer and we just love her!…read moreWe were one of Amy's first clients, and I swear I couldn't be happier that we picked her. My boyfriend didn't really understand the whole pictures thing or why we had to do it but once he met Amy she totally changed his mind and he has enjoyed this experience almost as much as I have, which in my opinion really says a lot. We are part of the "Grow With Me Plan" we go to see her every 3 months until he is a year old, which we are about to do our son's 9 month photoshoot this week. She also did our Christmas card photos. If you're looking for a great photographer to capture your little ones most precious years, LOOK NO FURTHER. Seriously, I promise you won't be disappointed. Amy will make sure she captures exactly what you want and put her own little spin on it to make it even better!

They are professional and helpful but still down to earth people that are easy to get along with. You don't want some shmuck walking around taking pictures, but it's important to feel comfortable with your photographers. Our engagement shoot was a great introduction to what it feels like to know a camera is on you, but with Rich and Alyssa behind the lens I didn't feel weird or uneasy. That is probably why I look so fab in all these pics ;) I love the style and look of the photos, but mainly I adore how they capture the day. Even when perusing photos from weddings of people I've never met, I get that feeling of anticipation, excitement, happiness and love. When I was looking through the pictures from my own wedding I felt all those emotions rush over me again, but it was so fun to relive the day in a way I wasn't able to. I loved the shots they took of other friends and family enjoying themselves, the things I didn't see since I was busy being "the bride". These pictures are timeless. I know I will cherish these photos until forever. As a kid I loved seeing pictures of my parents and grandparents in their younger years, and these photos will be exciting for me to show off if I have my own family down the road. And finally, Rich and Alyssa are cool people. They have a beautiful family and are great people. I feel like I made a couple of new friends after this experience. So happy with my choice to have them as my wedding photographers, and I would recommend them to anyone! They also do amazing family photos under their brand More than 20. No matching white shirts and jeans in these portraits!

I would recommend these guys to ANYONE.

We worked with Daulton throughout the wedding planning process and she was an incredible partner,…read moreadvisor, and friend in what can be a very stressful time! There are so many decisions that couples need to make as they plan a wedding, and Daulton was with us every step of the way. She made us feel comfortable... ranging from challenging financial negotiations that most couples wouldn't be prepared for, to even providing her opinion when we needed an unbiased third party. Daulton was thorough, honest, thoughtful, and will make you feel secure as you go into planning your big day or special event. Plus, she's a breath of fresh air in a cluttered wedding industry where it can be difficult to find a trustworthy person to help you. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat, and recommend her to anyone that needs planning advice or support.

Where do we even begin!?! Daulton and her team were INCREDIBLE to work with! From day one, she…read morehelped us feel so at ease throughout the entire planning process. Her taste is so elegant and simple, and her suggestions for decor and ambiance were always exactly what we were looking for! We hosted two weddings - one in New Orleans and the other in Cleveland. It was not easy planning in two locations (especially because we don't live in either location) for two completely different style of weddings, but Daulton made the whole process a breeze and so enjoyable! All of our vendors spoke so highly about Daulton and how organized everything was. Her day of coordination was flawless, even through a few hiccups, we never stressed as Daulton had everything taken care of so we could enjoy our big days with our family and friends and help our wedding dreams become a reality. She was everything and more in a wedding planner and we were so lucky to be able to work with her!!

LOVE LOVE LOVE them! I went to Ascension Visionary Concepts for my maternity photo shoot and I was…read moretaken aback by the outstanding customer service and professionalism Timothy and Deanne (the photographers) exuded. I went to the shoot completely under prepared. I had no idea how to pose, what type of background I wanted, or what unique touch I wanted to add to make the photos my own. T&D had that completely handled for me (such a breath of fresh air :) They showed me a few different "maternity" poses and had 2 perfect locations already planned for me. Timothy is such a perfectionist in the perfect way. He really knew how to bring out the "Top Model" in my partner and me, who had no clue what to do with ourselves in pictures. The chemistry between Timothy and Deanne was amazing. It definitely rubbed off on us and made our pictures even more beautiful. They are so friendly and the quality of work they give you is just wonderful. I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again!
