I'm not what you would call a "girlie girl," so the idea of picking out outfits and posing for photos was completely new and a bit scary for me. We started with a phone call and Michael did a great job of walking me through outfit choices and suggestions. The day of, I met him at his studio. He was absolutely delightful. Professional, respectful, funny, calming, and flattering, the perfect combination to calm you down and make you feel good about yourself. He knew exactly what to say to help me relax and get the shot. What I loved most was the process. Due to the way the studio is set up, we could take a series of photos, then go and sit down and take a look at the photos. This allowed for us to discuss lighting, colors, and positioning. Before taking another series. After I choose the photos I was happy with, Michael "finalized them" with some minor edits and emailed me the final photos. Even then he was willing to make some changes. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. Something I initially dreaded turned into an amazing and even fun time. I highly recommend Michael and will definitely return for future photography needs.

Hey you. Yes, YOU. Are you using a selfie for your LinkedIn profile? It's OK. Michael Epaul…read morephotography can fix that. It was time for me to get some corporate headshots and my employer was not about to spend any money in hiring a professional for me. I decided I owed it to myself to put my best face forward. I searched for portrait photographers with a studio in Springfield, and Michael Epaul came up. First, I will say, that this trend of photographers not having a studio baffles me. I would never consider someone a professional if they did not have a professional work space! That being said, Michael Epaul Photography has a gorgeous, cozy studio, so you don't have to worry about a setting. For the ladies, or anyone interested, hair & makeup can be added to your session. This worked out well because it took the pressure off me of having to arrive at the studio in perfect condition. And then the headshots began. From start to finish, the process was streamlined. Prompt communication via text and/or email worked very well. I was given about 20 pictures to choose from; I picked one and was given 2 versions of it. And don't tell anyone, but....Michael was able to ahem....touch up things about me in a natural way (aka he took away the 10 lbs the camera adds). Overall, very satisfied with this portrait session and look forward to doing business with this photographer in the future. NOTE: on site parking, accepts credit cards, and photographer does more than just portraits (weddings mitzvahs and more!)

The location I chose for our shoot was a little difficult to shoot since there was a wedding going on, but they were able to make it work still and they got the shots I really wanted. I was worried that we wouldn't be able to shoot everything we wanted in our hour time frame since we had outfit changes and all, but we fortunately were able to get everything we wanted out of the shoot in the hour we had. We were beyond pleased with how the photos turned out! We received the photos two weeks from the shoot.

If you are looking for beautiful, natural, yet classic beach photos, I would highly recommend…read moreBellaEva Photography. They were extremely easy to work with from the start, readily available, and very responsive. I contacted them through email via their website and they responded within the hour. Their website is very organized, thorough, and user-friendly. We worked with Florian for our family photo session. We happened to be in Maui for a family trip and wanted to take advantage of the beautiful beaches/scenery and also remember our time there. My husband and I have a 3-year-old girl and a 3 month old boy. As any parent can tell you, this mix can be a recipe for disaster. On the day of our session, my daughter was in a terrible mood and was very uncooperative. Florian kept his cool and remained kind and patient the whole time. He did everything he could to make my daughter feel comfortable. In the end, she eventually warmed up but my husband and I were discouraged and were praying for just one decent shot. With their many clients and busy schedule, BellEva had a quick turnaround time. They delivered our images within a week. When we clicked the link, we were absolutely blown away by the images. Florian is a true miracle worker and was able to capture around 100 shots. The images were all very beautiful and organic and definitely depicted a typical day in the life of parents with two young kids. He was able to capture the natural and raw emotions of our family. This speaks volumes to the amazing work and talent of BellaEva Photography. It was such a pleasure working with BellaEva. Our family is forever grateful for these memories that they were able to capture for us.

We cannot recommend Ryan and Four Wings Photography enough! Ryan, owner and photographer, is such a…read moretalent. His pictures are beyond gorgeous -- check out his portfolio for yourself -- but he is also open to the direction that you provide in making sure that his style reflects your own. Not only is Ryan a great artist, since you can see that clearly online, but something less tangible to note is that he is great at understanding the different people included in your wedding and ensuring that everyone can work well together to get the shot. For our wedding, he worked with Leslie (a second shooter), who provided a strong balancing presence to ensure all stayed on track. The two of them together worked magic with our (not always easy) family and took some breathtaking photos. On the day we were overwhelmed, exhausted, and intermittently assaulted by mosquitos but Ryan and Leslie worked professionally and swiftly to ensure we didn't get bitten to shreds and the photos they somehow pulled together are incredible. You would never guess that we were anything other than blissfully happy, and seeing that joy in the images captured of our day really helps us remember how wonderful it all was (even if the day was also a whirlwind). We are so, SO happy that we were lucky enough to secure Ryan and our advice is to set up a meeting and seriously consider his incredible work.

As we were preparing for our wedding we looked all across Western Massachusetts for a photographer…read morethat we liked. We eventually decided to look into Four Wings Photography after we saw some of the demo materials found on the website. When we met with the photographer Ryan for the first time, we knew instantly that we wanted to work with him just by the way he talked about his joy for his work. On top of his amazing personality he does incredible work, and his wedding packages were perfect for what we were looking for. This past weekend we had the chance to work with him on our engagement session which was included in our wedding package. When we met with Ryan we gave him a few ideas and he ran with them (in a good way). He took time with us throughout the afternoon and he made sure to capture the special moments between my partner and I. When he sent us a few of the photos before finishing his editing, we were blown away by his incredible skills and attention to detail. Overall, we are really excited and blessed to have chosen Ryan. We are more than happy with our engagement photos and can't wait to see what he does with our wedding. Also, as an aside, if I could rate him higher, I would. Ryan is as good as they get! His humor and honesty made us feel comfortable with choosing him for our special day.

Our engagement photo session turned out beautifully and I couldn't imagine having more fun! Both my fiancé and I do NOT like our picture being taken and yet with these two we felt totally at ease and in no way weirded out with a camera in our faces.

So excited for the wedding photos to come in March!!!! Love love love these ladies!

Where to even start!…read more My wife and I wanted to keep as many parts of our wedding as "in the family as possible". By the time we finished up our wedding day with Brittney and Shana, we both felt as close to them as we did to our own family! But it wasn't just how Love + Perry Photography carried themselves and delivered exceptionally professional service on our wedding day, that first impressed us... OH NO... ...Rather, from the very first meeting we had with these two super cool and laid back ladies, we knew they were the photographers for us! The quality of their photographs is absolutely stunning, and at times, has even resulted in bringing my mother to cry tears of joy as she eagerly clicks through their timely facebook sneak peaks, as well as their vibrant and beautiful website photo archives! Moreover, watching Brittney and Shana work together is perhaps, where, as a client, you can see and appreciate their true talent. Bottom line... these two ladies love what they do, and they love each other; a combination that puts you completely at ease while being photographed, and can't help but also make you smile at the same time! Oh, and if beautiful photographs and an ability to put you and your significant other at ease weren't enough, well then how about their uncanny, super-human ability to swoop in and save your wedding day mishaps? Its a bird, its a plane, NO WAIT, its Brittney and Shana downloading our First Dance Songs to their iPhones, and then playing them over the PA System for us! OH YEA.. that really happened! Basically, from the very first phone conversation, to the rainy adventure of our engagement shoot, to the crazy-ness of our wedding day, Love + Perry Photography has provided unwavering professional service, B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L photographs, and a working relationship that my wife and I hope to use again in the future; babies, birthdays, anniversaries.... HECK, i'd have these ladies photograph paint drying. THEY ARE THAT TALENTED and THAT WONDERFUL! WE LOVE LOVE + PERRY PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

If you've just received an offer for a free portrait session and are thinking to yourself, "this is…read moretoo good to be true" let me be the one to tell you, IT IS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE. You will be coerced into spending thousands of dollars. Not tens. Not hundreds. Thousands. Now you might be thinking to yourself, "if that's true, how come reviews of this business are so high on Google?" That's because this business painstakingly appeals and removes every negative review. As for the reviews that the owner can't convince Google to delete? She personally threatens the reviewer with a lawsuit. That means that this business only appears to have a positive rating because the owner has hand-picked them and removed the many, many negative ratings. I have nothing to gain from posting this besides to warn people not to end up like me: tricked into spending thousands during a "free" photoshoot and threatened with a lawsuit once I complained. Please be warned: if you've been offered something FREE, get ready for a huge bill.

Just totally professional, friendly, made all of us feel totally at ease during the rehearsal dinner, on the day of the wedding, at the ceremony, in the staged wedding party/family photos and at the reception. The staging she arranged was clever and fun and worked beautifully with the space. It was a long and pretty tiring day for them I'm sure, but they were upbeat and awesome the whole time. It wasn't even my wedding and I liked them both so much I knew they'd earned a 5-star Yelp review. But then I saw the photos! OMG! They're so incredible! Somehow we all look like ourselves but also the very best versions of ourselves and the spirit of the celebration is alive in each pic. Laura doesn't watermark her prints which is also really cool of her - and she started posting pics online the very next day! The whole album was up in less than 2 weeks and she gave out little cards with info about how to find the pics on her website toward the end of the reception. I found some lovely ones of my friends, myself and the bride that I will buy and frame. I wish she lived closer, I'd ask her to take all of my family photos going forward. Talented, personable, just an all-around perfect person to capture a wedding on film.

After Laura shot our VT winter wedding in 2014 we declared her our "Family Photographer." We didn't…read moreknow it then, but we weren't kidding!! In 2015 she took family photos for us on the RI beach side and in our home when our first daughter was about 6 months. Most recently my mother in law gave us a gift certificate with Laura to shoot our still growing family in September as we had another daughter who was soon to be 1 and we had yet to capture our family of four on camera. As you might imagine capturing a 1 year old and a 2 year old in the same photo lens is quite a challenge...they don't sit still long! Or look at the camera! Needless to say Laura was wonderful with the girls and we were able to stretch our time and get some absolutely amazing photos! Laura had our photos online within a few days and she was able to make some recommendations for our wood print. Patient, kind and professional. From the wedding dance floor to family portraits and baby shots Laura has and will continue to capture some beautiful moments for us and we will cherish them forever.
