I had a family portrait done 17 years ago. There are things I really do not like about Kramer. The…read morefirst is there strict policy of not sharing anything digital. Yes, I get that there "real" product is a combination of a digital foundation with a human touch of finishing, but I still, I personally like to have the source material and this is simply not going to happen here. Also, there pricing and marketing. 17 years ago I remember getting a discount offer on the purchase of a luxury car. It seemed significant, but I do not recall exactly where the sticker shock came in with the process, but post sitting we were in it deep enough to just say yes to the price. Over the years the portrait faded. And, not all of it. For some reason the skin tone of the faces faded whereas the arms did not. It was never placed in direct sunlight and even if it was this doesn't seem like a pure exposure issue since it was selective fading. Moving out of state and thinking about moving the portrait I wondered why I should even worry about taking it as it was really that bad. For some reason I thought about reaching out to Kramer. The hardest part of the process was getting a response from Facebook Messenger. It seemed to be the only digital method of contact and I really wasn't in the mood to waste time on the phone. Eventually, I got someone's ear and that turned into speaking with the owner. Okay, with all of this so far, you would think this would be a one star review! Well, eventually they found the original digital file which predated a change in their systems which made it harder than it should be, but they found it. Then, replacing it wasn't even a conversation. The only question they asked is if it was in the original frame. It was, so that made things easier. It took a while to get it back but the result was amazing and possibly better than new. This made the cost, the lack of personally having the digital backup, etc, all secondary. And, no, the photo I posted with this review is not the portrait in question! This review is posted to the Hillsborough and Red Bank locations since the original sitting was in Hillsborough (along with the faded drop off) and the new pickup was in Red Bank.

I felt misled by the sales presentation and ultimately disappointed with my purchase. I believed I…read morewas purchasing a painted portrait, only to discover that the finished product was essentially a colorized photograph printed on canvas--with a price tag of approximately $14,000 (this includes the $2,000 I spent at a silent auction for this work). During the sales process, the image was repeatedly described as a "masterpiece," which I do not believe accurately represents what I received. In my opinion, the sales pitch was misleading, and I do not feel the finished product provided value commensurate with the price. I regret not addressing my concerns sooner, but I have since discouraged others from using this studio. I would strongly recommend making sure you fully understand what you are purchasing--and what you are actually receiving--before committing to a purchase.

They made us feel beloved and represented at every juncture. I felt like I could relax and enjoy the day, knowing that they would capture the moments I'll never want to forget.

I was very nervous about doing a boudoir photo shoot since it's totally out of my comfort zone but…read moreafter my first phone call with Brandi I instantly felt at ease. This was also true when I got to the photo shoot. She made me feel super comfortable in a not so comfortable situation. You can tell she has been doing this for a long time. I did a petite session which was only about 45 minutes from start to finish but she was super efficient, maximizing the amount of shots I got. I did this as a gift to my husband for our first wedding anniversary which was in a week from the time of the shoot (my fault for waiting until the last minute). She made sure I got my photos back extremely quickly so I would have something to show him. And speaking of the photos, they came out incredible! I highly, highly recommend Brandi for boudoir shoots.

My wife and I…read morewere just in awe of how amazing the photos looked, especially the portraits which looked like a work of art. We were assigned Reena and Roderick as our main photographer and videographer, and Ben and Tuck as the secondary photographer and videographer. They gave such clear direction to ensure the photos came out the way we wanted. All 4 of them were respectful, professional and very accommodating. We had an extensive list of photo combinations we wanted with the bridal party, our parents, wedding sponsors, and extended family and the Dean Michaels team managed to capture every single moment. I'd ask Reena last minute if we could take pictures at different locations and she would be so accommodating and the photos came out perfect. We are so glad we went with Dean Michaels. It's always tough picking through hundreds of wedding photo companies but my wife and I really liked the style of Dean Michaels which provided a good mix of dramatic and traditional photos without being too over the top. We highly recommend Dean Michaels if you're undecided who to go with for your wedding or any other events!

Steven and I attended Steven's cousins wedding three years ago and we were absolutely blown away by the amazing photography and videography he did for that wedding!

I remember booking him right away, just knowing that two years later at our wedding he'd do an amazing job. That day he was not only early for my scheduled time... he brought with him the most amazing team to capture all the important moments of our day! They took everything into their own hands, made sure Steven and I enjoyed every second of the day, and not for one second did I feel stressed!
