From the…read moremoment we met, it was clear that she was not just there to take photos but to enhance our entire wedding experience. Lauren was incredibly organized, providing valuable advice on timing, poses, and even handling our timeline to ensure everything went smoothly. On the big day, she seamlessly blended into the background while still capturing every special moment, and we are sure the results will be breathtaking! Yes I am writing this review without even seeing our wedding photos because that is how confident I am!!! Lauren has such a warm and friendly demeanor that made us feel completely at ease. If you're looking for someone who goes above and beyond, Lauren Powe is your person. Highly recommended!

My family and I have never done a family photo shoot and we were excited to at least get one photo for a canvas. We had no idea how to pose or what to do. Miguel was the perfect photographer, especially for people who are not experienced in getting their photo taken. We love all of the poses that he suggested. He was so funny and personable which helped capture some really organic smiles and happy moments. We also included our puppy in the photo shoot and he did such a great job capturing our dog and getting her attention as well. Needless to say we've gotten much more than one good photo that we set out for. I would definitely recommend MN photography to all of my family and friends and look forward to booking again in the future. Perhaps next time at an outdoor photo shoot as this particular shoot was at his private studio.

What's included in the package is made unclear, so I never got what I expected. In addition, during the shoot he said that he could take my arm out if I had it on my kiddo and when I reminded him of this later, he said that was considered a complex edit and would cost money but they'd do it complmenetary that time. Had he told me this at the time of the shoot, we would have done something differently to get photos without me there in the background. Not cool.

Kelly works seamlessly with kids and commotion. I've been nervous when my kids are complaining or won't cooperate and she always gets wonderful shots. We get compliments on our family photos all the time. They are proudly hung on our walls and our kids always have individual shots too. Going back to our wedding photos. They're fabulous. Whenever people see our album they comment on how beautiful the shots are. They truly are beautiful. We keep going back because Kelly is the best. She's flexible and wonderful and versatile. I should add that we have been going to Kelly for 8 consecutive years now.

I can't speak highly enough of this photographer.

We purchased a large framed print for our living room and can't stop staring every time. We are so thankful we have found her. I'd highly recommend their services!

We loved his style which captures emotions along with the beautiful scenery. After talking to him we were convinced he was the one and he did not disappoint. Vince's skills and professionalism was beyond our expectation. Our wedding had a lot of curveballs to throw at Vince and he did an amazing job in dealing with everything. We have a very active doggo that we wanted in the pictures and Vince gave us so many beautiful pictures that we quite frankly have a hard time picking out the best one. Our first look took place on a very active trail with lots of bicycles coming and going and Vince got us tons of amazing pictures. The family cabin where our ceremony took place was difficult to navigate because of the space but he got us the most incredible pictures. Lastly, I usually hate being photographed because of the way I look in pictures but Vince managed to make me look and feel like a bride in every picture. Most importantly, Vince was a joy to work with. Our family was so impressed by how nice Vince was during the entire exhausting day. He kept his smile throughout everything but had no problem managing and directing people when needed. He captured all the emotions throughout the day and really captured who we are as a couple and family in every picture. We are beyond grateful to have these pictures to cherish with our family. Thank you Vince!

During that time,…read moreI encountered dozens of photographers and I learned that having amazing photos is important, but having a photographer that has a great attitude, is flexible and fun to work with is equally as important. That is why, when it was time to chose a photographer for our wedding, Ben Taylor of Joy Jar Photography was an easy decision. Ben has an incredible eye and a natural ability to capture special moments that others may miss. A great example is a shot he captured of me (with a tear rolling down my cheek) as my bride walked down the aisle. Throughout the day, he checked in with us to make sure we were happy and kept a go-with-the-flow attitude. We could not be happier with our choice to hire Joy Jar Photography. We cherish the photos and the memories Ben was able to capture and would recommend him to anyone!

They did a beautiful job honoring the unique brands that we represent while streamlining the imagery to create a look and feel of our own. Arianne's experience as a chef and artist meant the food styling was creative, often with a nod to elegance or playfulness depending on the brand and product. They both required very little direction and were able to understand exactly what we needed and translated it with impact and intuition into compelling imagery. Will absolutely be partnering with them again on projects in the future!!
