Dan takes great passport pictures that doesn't make you look like you belong in jail. I had to get…read moremy passport renewed this year so I went the usual route for getting these passport pictures taken. UPS, Walmart, CVS. Those places must have cameras they got out of the donation boxes. Your pictures turn out hideous with all of these shadows in the wrong places that makes you look like you are 100 years old. I kept thinking, wow, this is the passport photo I have to present to the immigration officer in another Country for the next 10 years! They would surely look at me funny every time. I refused to have that hideous picture pasted in my passport for the next10 years so I did a Google search for photographers who took passport photos. This is how I found Dan Harris. I also discovered that there are not too many photographers who take passport pictures so I felt very fortunate that I found Dan, just in the nick of time. The quality of the pictures that Dan took compared to the UPS ones were like night and day. I looked so elegant and regal in the picture Dan took, even with the new rules of not showing teeth when you smile. ha! Dan told me I didn't need to look angry like how the lame brain people at the UPS store interpreted the new rules about not smiling and not showing your teeth. Dan encouraged me to do a half smile with my lips closed. The pictures turned out phenomenal. And to think I paid $10 for that hideous set of pictures at the UPS Store. It is well worth the cost to have your passport pictures taken by a professional photographer like Dan since this is a picture that you will have to show the whole world when you travel, and that is the picture they will also show on the big screen if, God forbid, something bad were to ever happen to you while visiting one of these foreign countries. haha!! It is also a picture that you will be looking at for the next 10 years!

When I think about my experience with J. Layne Photography the following words come to mind:…read more professionalism, creativity, reliability and talent. I am going to break this review down in a list format because it's going to be quite detailed. I am anal retentive and I know as a bride, you are looking for DETAILS when you give someone large sums of money for wedding services. Chelsi and Ian (a husband and wife team) brought nothing but joy to my wedding day and the weeks following when I got my finished pictures. 1. Communication: JLP was great with promptly returning emails/calls. 2. Timeliness: JLP came at our scheduled time, ready to go, no issues. They were very patient with our schedule running behind a little. We got our pictures back as scheduled in a timely manner. Note: You will wait a little while for your pictures with any quality photographer, because it takes time to give each photo the attention it deserves. 3. Professionalism: JLP was completely professional throughout the entire process. 4. Attitude/Demeanor: JLP was very polite and positive on our day, regardless of the hectic nature of everything. 5. Value: JLP gave us a military discount which we appreciated a LOT. Not a lot of businesses will do this so it was a nice gesture. The pictures we received we would have paid double for. 6. Quality: WE WERE EXPECTING AROUND 100 EDITED PICTURES. WE ENDED UP WITH 155 OR SO BEAUTIFULLY EDITED PHOTOS. *** My brother is a Sergeant in the Army and was originally supposed to miss my wedding for Army Ranger School. His wife and he planned to surprise me on my day, and told no one. JLP had NO idea this surprise was going to happen and still managed to get various quality pictures of the surprise, before they were even scheduled to be taking pictures yet. I was so happy with the pictures that I posted them on an online social community called Reddit and it blew up with around 400,000 views. We ended up getting contacted by Fox News (among various other news sources) and did an interview about it. I can never repay JLP for capturing this moment and the fun and cool memories that happened as a result. The story (including some of the photos) can be seen here: http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/08/24/soldier-brother-ryan-douglas-surprises-sister-jessie-smith-her-wedding-day JLP was very responsive and helpful through the entire experience and I would recommend them to any bride. You cannot go back to recapture your wedding moments so hire a quality set of photographers. You will not regret your decision to go with Chelsi and Ian. They are truly artists with what they do.

I loved my wedding. It was beautiful and full of love, family, and friends. I wouldn't change a…read morething except my photographer. I guess the rule is that every wedding has something that goes wrong and for me it was J. Layne Photography. I hired J. Layne Photography to take photos at my wedding for 6 hours with two professional photographers. Chelsi was lovely before the wedding and I LOVED the pictures that I saw on her website. On the day of my wedding, Chelsi called to tell me that she was "sick" but that she would send two professional photographers and an assistant in her place. I was fine with this and understood that these things happen. When they arrived at 2 pm, there was only one professional photographer and an assistant. I was less pleased at this point. I called Chelsi, while putting on my dress, and she said that when she looked at the wedding she realized that only one professional photographer was necessary. After receiving my wedding photos, I know that wasn't true. My maid of honor was smart and told the assistant to take pictures while we were waiting for the cars or I would have had even fewer photos. The assistant took bridal portraits on a staircase and didn't realize that from her angle my undergarment was clearly visible. A real photographer would have noticed that in the majority of my bridal portraits my bra was showing or would have at least had the decency to edit it out. J. Layne photography did neither, but would have taken it out if I paid them another 50 dollars per photo (also not stated in my contract). I asked for one of them (either the professional or assistant) to ride with the wedding party to take pictures in the large vehicle and they said that they needed to take their car because of their equipment. It's not like they were using special lighting. It was literally two cameras and one shoulder bag. I received 12 photos of my ceremony. I received 2 photos of people dancing (eventually she sent me 2 additional images - including the generations dance, but only because I begged her). I received a photo of the hired violinist, but not one of my sister singing a 4 minute aria. No photographs of bridesmaids, grandparents, etc walking down the aisle. No photos of a groomsmen doing a reading. Almost no photos of the groomsmen at all. I only received a posed photo of my entire wedding party at the park because I asked after she sent me my disc. I have that photo hanging in my bedroom, but wouldn't have had it at all if I hadn't spent hours begging her for more of the photos that I paid J. Layne Photography to take. Only two photos of me walking with my parents. I asked Chelsi why I didn't receive more photos, but she said that they prefer quality over quantity. That wasn't true either. Neither of the photographers bothered to take them. There weren't any photos of those events to send me. Many of the photos were taken from a low and unfaltering angle. I ask to see all of my wedding photos, but she refused to let me she any "raw" photos. If she sent me the best photos, I probably don't want to see what was left, but then again I received extra photos that I requested that I love. It hurts to think that she gets to see all of the photos from my wedding, but that I don't. I don't trust her judgment in anything at this point. She emailed me a clause about raw photos saying that it was in my contract, but it wasn't. It may be in her new contract, but it wasn't in the one that I was sent. I received my photos months after I was suppose to and she said she would compensate me with a coffee album valued at 250 bucks. I received a cheesy album that was made at a snapfish type website. I can't even get into it all because it hurts too much to talk about. I do have a handful of really beautiful pictures that I will cherish, but there is so much that I am missing and the quality and artistic choice of the majority of my 187 pictures that I received (for 6 hours of coverage) is truly pathetic. Brides, please consider other options before booking J. Layne Photography. I was fooled by the beautiful, vintage photos featured on their website. The potential for a unique eye and beautiful photos is definitely there, but what you get in reality is very different. Unprofessional and novice is what you should expect. They don't put the care into the real weddings that they clearly did for a photo shoot. May be they just don't have to skill to produce such stunning results in the less planned and faster paced environments of a real wedding. They spent so much time do things other than taking pictures. I wonder what was more important than taking a picture of my sister singing a 4 minute aria?

The one event (family baptism) that everyone was finally together for... and dressed decently... and this so called photographer is wasting our time. Got the photos back today & not one is worth printing!! We were all standing facing the sun and squinting! He knew we had 5 children who were going to be impatient and he's worried about fixing our granddaughters dress rather than already scoping out a place for better backdrop & no sun interference. An amateur with an IPhone could do a better job! What's even more disappointing is that my husband searched "online" and this gift of photography was part of my surprise birthday gift.

Muhannad was not my original choice for a photographer because I lived in Washington, DC and my…read morefuture husband lived in Orlando where our wedding was held, and where he hired Muhannad from MK Photography. He gave us a great price on the package which satisfied my husband, but it is safe to say that I was nervous about having a photographer whom I never met to capture my wedding. However, I was very pleasantly surprised and glad with my husband's choice. Muhannad made it a point to communicate with me weeks before my wedding and he arrived early to meet me before it was time to get started. Also, he was very friendly and understanding and extremely patient and polite even though I may have been anxious and rude at times. His behavior made me feel perfectly comfortable- smiling and talking to me and bearing with my anxious state. Then came the ceremony time, and Muhannad was respectful of our church and treaded lightly as he photographed us, not interrupting the ceremony or the priest, but while subtly grabbing our attention to capture wonderful shots. He waited till we were the last to leave the church, ensuring that everyone got their picture taken with the bride and groom. He then rushed to the reception where he captured wonderful photos of all our guests as they awaited our grand arrival. At the reception, he was front and center but never in the way of anyone. He was fully engaging with all our guests and hopping around the dance floor and the dinner tables to ensure he captures all the wonderful sentimental moments. He was just one person but it felt like he did the job of 3. I have no idea how he captured so many beautiful moments all by himself but he did not sit down one moment. He took beautiful pictures of the elderly, the children, the guests and simply put, he brought my wedding pictures to life. The best part was, when 2 months later, I received my final pictures from Muhannad- he sent them using an elegant unique heart shaped USB drive packaged in a beautifully wrapped box along with a few large prints. A very nice touch. Muhannad has excellent taste, is creative and unique in his style and above all he was so polite and not the slight bit imposing when he photographed us. The guests were calling his name at every moment so he can photograph them and he never once missed a good shot. Many of my guests commented on how talented and professional Muhannad was and they are all very happy with the photos. He was always near when we wanted a photo taken and it is because of him, that I can look at the pictures of my wedding and remember exactly how I felt that day. Thank you so much Muhannad for doing more than you were hired for such a great price!
