Her attention to detail was spectacular. She was accommodating through multiple postponements due to Covid-19. She brought fun energy to both our engagement pictures and wedding day while still remaining very professional. All expectations were stated and communication was easy. Most of all, our photos are so dreamy- they capture all of the sentimental and funny moments of our big day in a way that is polished but still so authentic to us.

I had Brittany as my make up artist for my October 11th wedding! I had a large bridal party, 11…read moregirls total, and she did do a good job on the girls. (The girls were disappointed with how their make up came out). She was pregnant, so I did feel bad however she did not make an effort to take the time on the girls. 15 minutes and they were done. My make up turned out AMAZING, and I am very thankful for that! The trial with Brittany was fun and she listened to what I wanted and didn't try to over turn my decisions. She definitely knew what I wanted and was able to reproduce that on my wedding day! Yay! On the downside, she could have acted more professional towards me, the bride, since it was my wedding day. Since she worked extremely fast, she was way ahead of the schedule. This meant that people were showering/getting hair done and not downstairs when she wanted to do their make up. That somehow became my problem, on my wedding day. Again, feeling bad that she was very pregnant, I tried to move along the group, but that shouldn't have been my worry on my wedding day. I tried not to stress about it, and overall, I was pleased but the girls had to re-do all of their make up...which didn't make anyone too happy.

I struggled with the prospect of writing a negative review. I have a lot of empathy for small…read morebusiness, especially during covid, and understand that negative reviews significantly affect them. My SIL posted a negative review on The Knot, and I agree with the content of her review. Unfortunately, Brittany responded with mistruths, which has motivated me to reply with my own review. DO NOT HIRE Brittany for your wedding. When my wedding was postponed because of covid, all of our vendors were extremely accommodating except Brittany. She did not want to allow me to use my $330 deposit toward a new date in 2021. To retain her services I would have to pay another $330 deposit for the new date and forfeit the previous deposit. I clearly postponed the date 2 months in advance, and she responded "OK I will cancel out your contract." She apparently held that date, then blamed me for lost business because of this. I did not ask her to retain my original date. Ultimately, after asking her to reconsider the transfer of my deposit, she relented. She was available for the new date, and sent a new contract to hold it. Before signing the contract, I told her about a revised number of applications - more people now wanted makeup, surpassing her maximum. I had discussed this scenario before signing the first contract. I asked "what is your policy about adding or subtracting people? Does it matter as long as there are 5 people minimum?" and she said "just a 5 person minimum, not going over 10." I was just being transparent, and she was going to do 5 people instead of 8. I hired a second makeup artist, making Brittany very upset. I explained the situation, but that did not assuage her. She demanded another $200 deposit or that I pay for 8 makeup applications (even though she was doing 5). Brittany felt disrespected and no longer wanted to provide her services, escaping with my deposit. I agreed to terminate our relationship. I didn't want her bad juju on my wedding day. I must respond to the review from my SIL. Brittany misrepresented our conversation. Her quoted text "proving" her flexibility was sent to me after we agreed to go separate ways. I did hire her 3 days after my trial; the time allotted before you lose the hold on your date. It wasn't because I "loved" her work. The brows were too dark. The foundation was heavy and settled into the fine lines on my forehead and on the lines around my mouth from smiling. Brittany told me it was because I had dry skin. A peel and better moisturizer would make it look normal. After talking to an aesthetician and a dermatologist she was wrong. Brittany quoted me "word for word" that "I loved my makeup, it lasted all day and I would love to book you," which is false. The text actually is "I would like you to do my makeup...it lasted very well. I'm wondering if we could go a little lighter on the brows and use a lighter face makeup? I felt a little too made up in terms of foundation." Misquoting our conversation proves lack of integrity and disregard for the truth. I would NOT recommend Brittany to anyone. What I got was thick, caked on makeup that settled awkwardly on my face and was then blamed on my "poor skin." Brittany's responses were unsympathetic and untruthful. Brittany, I would expect you to want to learn from a situation like this so you can better your business and yourself. Brides, I hope you choose someone who cares about you as a person, not just as a business transaction. That person is not Brittany.

She was always quick to respond via email, outgoing, and super efficient. We still have family members who come up to us and comment on how great she was, not only due to the quality of photos, but also because because of her personality. She is super creative, and takes a lot of great candid shots. She even got our edited photos (over 1000 pictures!) back to us less than 2 weeks after the wedding. I also liked working with this company because you aren't required to buy a big expensive package with an engagement session, photo book, etc, so this helps keep the cost down. I highly recommend Ari Rosenthal Photography.

Now that we've had time to review our actual photos, we sadly have to update our initial review…read more Going into the wedding we were so excited to work with Chris. But once we really took a look at the photos, we realized we got very little of what we wanted. Before the event, Chris seemed meticulous. He met with us twice and asked detailed questions about our family trees, and we explained who the really super important guests were, aka the guests we wanted lots of photos with. Looking back at the pics, it seems like Chris either didn't hear the majority of our requests, or he heard them and was just too overwhelmed to handle them. During our meetings he stressed a few really important photos, like one with the groom's parents and the bride and groom, one with the bride's parents, photos of the elderly relatives whose presence at the event we'd want to cherish...also his personal favorite of the bridesmaids all looking one way and the bride, in focus, looking at the camera. Somehow, Chris failed at delivering those photos at a high quality - the ones he was passionate about. Most of them are unusable. Chris is definitely a nice guy, but his work quality wasn't what we were expecting, especially for a wedding that was essentially all in one building (no frantic driving across town, searching for parking, etc.). If you are looking for someone to shoot a very, very low key event or a wedding without many moving parts or complications, working with him will probably work. Anything higher stress than that I would recommend working with someone else.

Listen Yelpers, I am not one for writing reviews except when people make me angry, but I have to…read moregive credit and applause when it is due. I wrote a review about Jaci after the engagement shoot she did for Jim and me. Jaci is wonderful, the photos were some of the most beautiful shots I have ever seen and we did nothing except laugh because Jaci just seemed to "get" us. You can read that review below. Our experience with Jaci was above and beyond any expectation I could have ever set in place which is why I am compelled to write this young woman a second review. I was told by several friends that if there is one area not to cut corners it was photography and I had heard so many horror stories about crappy photography and photographers to last me a lifetime. Jaci was accommodating, patient, professional and if we could have designed our perfect photographer, she was it. Jim and I just happened to get lucky. Jaci met with me to get specifics as to what we wanted photos of, with whom and when which made the day go smoothly. Even when the wedding reception was going on, she grabbed me quickly and said, "I know you wanted shots of your friends and we haven't gotten them yet. Should we go ahead and grab them quickly?" Thank goodness she remembered. Let me tell you that when family photos rolled around it was like herding cattle. Jaci remained calmed, pulled everyone together, took test shots and somehow managed to get everyone done in a matter of 15 minutes. Honestly, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Jaci; I really can't. She did everything and more than I asked for and the photos are the most beautiful pieces of art that I have ever seen! I don't feel that she is overpriced by any means. I hunted for photographers and there were far more who charge double what she does and their work isn't even a quarter of her talent. I can't wait to order our prints, books and canvas art from Gloss. True testament of her talent, there are far too many photos that captured the love that Jim and I have for one another, picking prints is going to be a complete dilemma. Thank you, Jaci, for everything. We cannot wait to have you capture all of our life moments and share those with you. You've been wonderful to both of us. Emily

She made my daughter feel so comfortable and found some cool industrial backgrounds per my daughter's request. The finished product is beautiful!! My daughter LOVED the photos and can't decide which ones we'll have printed but we have a couple hundred amazing digital pics to choose from. I'm also very pleased with the photos.

She has photographed our family many times - from pregnancy shoots and baby photos, to a special mini shoot with my toddler, and even my whole family for my mom's birthday. Oh and trust me, I tried to get her for our wedding but she was booked and busy (to no surprise). Not only are the photo results always absolutely wonderful, Lauren just makes the whole process so darn relaxed and easy. Being photographed professionally isn't always the most natural thing, but she always makes me -and everyone involved- feel so comfortable. Love that she has the versatility to do both indoor and outdoor shoots too. I've been literally in the water for pregnancy photos, to a pretty park for family pics, and in her great little studio tucked into the Riverwest neighborhood. If you're looking for a photographer for really any occasion, I recommend Lauren 10 times over.

Kat immediately made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely ourselves during our engagement shoot. Her attention to detail is phenomenal, especially when it came to all the little things I told her I wanted -- like my very specific request for our photos to feel grand and epic, but also romantic lol. She was always available by text or phone whenever we had questions or concerns. Weeks after our engagement shoot, I noticed something off about my dress, and she had edited photos back to me within hours to help solve the issue. Kat has such a vibrant energy about her that makes the photoshoots so fun! And that's before even getting to her incredible photography skills. She knows all the hidden gems around the city, how to navigate crowded locations to get THE shot, and how to capture a wide variety of moments while maintaining incredible quality. The photos truly speak for themselves. Kat and Brett together are an incredible duo. They seem to instinctively know what shot the other is trying to get, and it was cool to watch them flow together so seamlessly. I think that definitely contributes to their fantastic work. I'm not even sure what our next big event will be, but whatever it is, we're already looking forward to having a reason to hire Kat and Brett again!

I would highly recommend using BK Rose Studio for photos and know we will be reaching out again when we need more family photos taken!
