Erika and her assistant went over and above our expectations in capturing all of the special,…read moreimportant moments at my wedding. They worked together so well as a team, and were very attentive to us the entire day. Erika got down on the ground at one point in order to get the best angle with the best light just to make sure our photo was perfect. My husband and I received so many comments about how impressed they were with our photographers. Thank you again Erika and Lloyd!

One word, IMPECCABLE!!!! Lauren is a true artist and has an eye for creating beautiful art! Her…read morewarm presence makes being in front of the camera feel comfortable and effortless. She will help pose you and makes sure to get all the right angles!! She will do whatever it takes to get the right angle and background. She showed us a sneak peek of our photos and we were blown away! She made my husband and I feel our love through her lens and I cannot wait to print these images so we can adorn our house. If you are looking for a photographer, Lauren is THEE ONE!!! One word of advice, BOOK WITH HER NOW! I am back with an update!! We received our photos today and we were speechless! My husband and I flew from San Diego to Chicago so Lauren can capture our photos and we are so glad we did! She is immaculate! look at the art she created! These are just a handful! They were all stunning!!

After stumbling upon Lauren Ashley Studios via social media a few months ago and looking through…read moreLauren's incredible portfolio of work, I knew I wanted to try to book her for my upcoming photo shoot. Lauren is extremely talented. She provided a lot of direction, which I was hoping for, as far as how to pose and where to place my hands, how to walk, where to look, etc! Her vision and creativity is really impressive. She was very professional and made me feel very comfortable and at ease. It's easy to see that Lauren is really passionate about what she does, and it translates into the finished product. One of the biggest things for me was the fact that she does not have any hidden costs. A lot of photographers add things in on the back end for additional fees; Lauren did not do that. She and her team were very clear and straightforward, which makes a world of difference! I was also very impressed with how quickly Lauren responded to my initial inquiry. I have just been continuously dazzled throughout the entire process with Lauren and have already recommended her to friends of mine. VIP service the entire way, and on top of that, Lauren is just such a kind-hearted, patient, lovely individual! She made any stress I had dissolve immediately! Better book Lauren while you still can!

It was such a great experience. When I lost my uncle I called the owner Matt and he helped me create a slide show for the funeral. I can't put into words how greatful I am for him and his staff. Definitely recommend Go Kreative Studios for your photography needs.

Rob is amazing. I found his website randomly one night as I was trying to find photographers who…read morehave taken pictures at the Arboretum. I was very impressed with his website and portfolio, so my fiance and I set up a meeting with him. During that meeting with Rob, we were blown away about how much he knows about photography. You could tell he has a passion for this. My fiance(now husband) wanted to book Rob right away, but I didnt want to put all our eggs in one basket right away. We met with another solo photographer who could not even compare to Rob and we met with a big box company who insulted us and really just tried to sell their "made in italy" custom books, not the photography. Rob was always prompt with getting back to me as I had a lot questions and he explained everything. Our engagement session was a blast and when I saw the proofs, they were just perfect! Before the wedding, Rob was in touch with us and suggested an alternate site for wedding pictures. When we drove by, I fell in love with it! However, due to the heat on our wedding date, we went back to the bar my fiance (husband) met at and Rob was completely on board! The week of the wedding called us and we were able to discuss day of planning and we were all on the same page! For the day of, Rob and his crew were on time and started snapping away! He was professional, but fun to work with! I can't wait to see the pictures!!!! We also used his digital photo booth which was something new as the "strips" are emailed to the parties instead of printed out. Some of the pictures I took with friends turned out okay, but some were really dark which was disappointing. Overall, his price is reasonable for the area and I always believe you get what you pay for with photography. He is passionate and knowledgeable about the industry, is easy to talk to and provides a great product.

We hired Rob to do our wedding photos in May 2014. He was SO GREAT! We met up about a year before…read moreand roughly went through everything.

We got married in June of 2021 and we hired James as our photographer after having a bad experience…read morewith another photographer. We stressed that the biggest thing for us was communication. We did an engagement session with James and LOVED our photos. Then it came down to the wedding day. The plan was originally that one photographer was going to come to the bride and the other was going to go to where the groom was getting ready. This did not happen. Both photographers showed up to the bride's house. It felt like he was rushing to get photos. We did not get any photos with the groomsmen getting ready. James left the brides house a while before the bride left to go to the venue, and somehow was late to showing up to the venue. Family photos after the reception felt extremely rushed, we did not get extended family included either. Throughout the night, I figured there would be photos of the tables, the guests, etc. We did not get photos of each table, we got random couples shots. Which there were more couple shots of my bridesmaid and her fiancé than there was of myself and my husband. At the wedding, James promised we would have our photos in 3-4 weeks. This is when the communication stopped (of course after he had been paid in full and tipped). After 3-4 weeks went by we checked in with James multiple times to obtain our photos. Our gallery wasn't ready until the end of July, almost 7 weeks after the wedding. We didn't get sneak peeks or previews of any sort, and we were the ones constantly checking in to see where our photos were, he never once updated us unprompted. Our Custom USB we were promised was on backorder so James finally sent us a link to download our photos. When we received our photos we were LESS than thrilled. There were photos with the photographers accidentally "photo-bombing", the dress and accessory photos were taken on a similar colored background, not making them pop at all. The action shots that we were given, we are either making faces, or one or both of our eyes are closed. They are not flattering AT ALL. We were told they would be candid but we figured they would at least be DECENT candid shots. We have posed photos with our immediate family, groomsmen, etc. I have only one photo with the bride and bridesmaids all together. NONE OF THE BRIDE AND GROOM. We have "action" photos, where we are walking. Not one photo is a posed, looking straight towards the camera, except for one that is impromptu on the dance floor. We are extremely disappointed in our photos from our wedding. The quality of the engagement photo session and the quality of the photos that we received from the wedding were not the same. Communication halted for a months time from August to September. There were still items outstanding that we were waiting on including our framed photo, our photo album, the USB. We reached out via email, phone, instagram message - anyway that we could think to get ahold of him and heard nothing in return. I finally reached out from a different email address and got a response the next day. We understand that things come up, but we expected to be kept in the know. When our photo album finally came in, James dropped it on our front porch (it is somewhat covered) in a garbage bag on a rainy day. He did not text us to let us know he was coming and he has both of our numbers, he did not call first to make sure someone was home. We got an email asking if we received it. The quality of service and communication we received was not acceptable.

I cannot express how grateful I am to have chosen Lauren as our wedding photographer! From the…read moremoment we met, it was clear that she was not just there to take photos but to enhance our entire wedding experience. Lauren was incredibly organized, providing valuable advice on timing, poses, and even handling our timeline to ensure everything went smoothly. On the big day, she seamlessly blended into the background while still capturing every special moment, and we are sure the results will be breathtaking! Yes I am writing this review without even seeing our wedding photos because that is how confident I am!!! Lauren has such a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Lauren Powe is your person. Highly recommended!
