Steph went above and beyond to make me look and feel beautiful on both of my wedding days, my small COVID wedding and my large dream reception.

Her prices and travel fees are extremely reasonable, and her artistry is unmatched. Save yourself the time and give Steph a shout so you feel as beautiful as I did on my special day(s)!

My darling bride Suzie and I were under a budget constraint and Leo was a bit outside of it, but…read moreafter viewing his work, meeting with him and viewing some online reviews, it was an easy decision. DO NOT FOREGO the magic of a great photographer when planning your wedding! As the Groom, and I can speak for my Bride, the event went SO QUICKLY that we can barely remember any of it. That is, until you look at Leo's magical work. While he's "present" clicking away, he's not obtrusive in any way. Our wedding may have been different than some in that we didn't have many formal photos. With a few captured, we asked Leo to simply snap away and capture the feelings, emotions, new acquaintances, hugs, clinks, and conversations and the results were more than we hoped for. In our case we had legions of friends from various Provinces in Canada and States in the US. To see them converge at Hayloft on the Arch and mingle - and be captured in delightful moments is priceless. Leo really was, icing on the cake to a perfect, and most beautiful and magical wedding. Thank you Leo for your artistry, passion, energy and talent. It will be forever admired. Love John & Suzie

The original photographer failed to tell me that my jacket was askew. I have tolerated the look of the photo for many years, but finally took it into this shop to have it fixed. When I arrived to pick up the finished photo, the color was adjusted, but the jacket was not fixed the way I wanted it to be. The woman who did the work indicated that "you didn't tell me that is what you wanted." She made some small adjustment in the right side of the jacket, but it was not correcting the look so the jacket appeared closed and buttoned. The woman said "You didn't tell me that is what you wanted." I do believe that I said "fix the jacket." It would seem to me that she should have asked me what I meant by "fix the jacket" instead of assuming and making the minimal change she did. She then added "I would have had to charge you more to do that and it would have taken longer." At no point did I note that I needed this quickly or that cost was too high. If the person agreed to fix the problem, I would have not have been as disappointed. I had to pay for the work despite not getting what I wanted because she had my original picture. I have speculated since this incident that the person who did the work is not the owner of the shop (she indicated that Jon Reis is not there very much). I am not sure why she would not offer to fix the problem which I consider her error--not making sure she knew what I wanted done--but I strongly recommend that customers be very careful with this company because it is not a customer-service oriented group and the work I requested was inadequate.
