Clarence studied at the Art Institute with John John's. But that doesn't matter as much as how much fun you will have when he draws your caricature. For one thing, Clarence draws fast, but he also keeps you laughing the whole time. Everyone was all smiles, and they all loved taking home his art.

They arrived on time to both the ceremony and the reception and were very attentive and professional throughout the day. The quality of the cinematography and the editing was superb, and we have received countless compliments on our wedding video. Our family and friends cannot get over what a wonderful job Chris and Emily did capturing the special moments and making everything look beautiful. Moreover, we were impressed with how much coverage they took while not being intrusive at all. Highly recommended!

They have some really nice new equipment that allows them to shoot in dark situations without having to shine a big light in your face. Most of the time they blend right into the crowd and you don't even notice they are there! Highly recommended.

Came here on Tuesday around 4pm, and it's wasn't busy at all. We did a walk in, and there was only…read moreone other party there. Unlike other painting places, this place has pre-sketched canvases that can guide you to paint a pretty picture. That is was stands out most to me, and what I love about this place. I believe they have classes as well, but you have to schedule an appointment for them. Many of their sketches vary from emojis, nature, characters like Harry Potter, unicorns, animals, all the great stuff! I believe the prices vary from $15-25, at least from what we painted. The workers there are very friendly and helpful! I'm not sure what the guy's name was, but he really helped turn my painting around! He taught me to play with the colors and adding contrast, and it really made a difference. Whenever you run out of paint, they are more than happy to get you more. They also give you another painting that you can try to replicate or add your own twist to it. They just started a stamp program, with every 4 purchases of a painting, you get the 5th one free! If you want to have a fun time for a cheap cost, come to paint monkey! I'll definitely be back and claim that free painting haha.

If you're getting married in the Pittsburgh area, go book Aaron Varga right now. If you're getting…read moremarried in Hawaii or Europe or Timbuktu...then go book Aaron Varga right now and pay whatever it takes to get him there. The man's a magician behind the lens and does things I didn't even know you could do without massive amounts of Photoshop. If you want the wedding photos your parents have with boring, static, and mundane everyone-look-at-the-camera-and-smile pictures then by all means hire some other schmuck. Or better yet, just give a point-and-shoot to your grandma and have her take the pictures. But if you want the photos that wow strangers and make the people who turned down your invitation jealous for not making it, hire Aaron Varga. He won't just help you remember your special day, he'll make it more special. Verbal reviews from random friends who saw our pictures: "You've got the best engagement and wedding photos I've ever seen." "You're photographer was so nice." "Did you see your photographer laying down in the middle of the street to get that shot? It came out so good." "How did he make the sky look so pretty?" The list goes on. He excelled in the other stuff that matters too. His communication was superb - responding to emails and checking up better than any other vendor we had. And while he may have looked like a creeper while he was taking pictures of us behind shrubs, he couldn't have been nicer, funnier, or make us feel more comfortable. Seriously...you're wasting time. Contact him right now and if he's already booked on your wedding date...change your wedding date. Wedding 6.7.14 Adam and Shannon

What really made having him on our wedding team was his willingness to always go the extra step. He was so thoughtful and helpful throughout our entire wedding as well as the prep leading up to it.

But All if the 70 guests had a blast at this casino bday party. The coordinator michelle was divine to work with. 2 of the workers were insanely professional (Shawn and Sandra) where they dealt the whole time and didn't break to eat. They came already dressed. Wish i could say the same for Brian and Jim (the other two dealers) who helped themselves to food a half hour BEFORE starting. Then during party. And at end of party. Didn't ask. Simply said "you have enough food so I'm going to eat" then smiled and proceeded....both of them changed at my house when they got there, and Jim actually changed up in my bedroom. Yuck. Jim then proceeded to grab another plate as the night progressed and the finale was when he asked to take home a few pieces of cake. Class act right there. But i would later find out that Jim was quite well known which was probably the cause for his pompous behavior. *He had been on the news for 2 months straight. There was a story in the news where a man ejaculated in line for the log jammer ride, at kennywood theme park, midday, in public, ON A 13 yr OLD GIRLS LEG!! A manhunt was on for 39 yr old mr James wright, until they matched his dna from his sperm ,that was on a 13 yr old girls sock at kennywood....and for two months he eluded police. Since October, his case sits in sex offender court until they have the time to hear his case. Until then, he walks a free man. a free man at my house. A free man at your house?? Unbeknownst to me that a pedophile would be dealing cards as he watched and probably took photos of the 15 kids running around....to add to the already found photos on His phone from kennywood Over the summer of 8-13 yr old girls!! Thankfully, after my call that night to alert michelle (who claimed to have no clue), she stated they would place him on leave until the case is resolved. Something that Shouldve happened back in October when he was caught and released on non monetary bail. Ugh. I'm praying that this establishment truly DID let him go so he's not an endangerment to other young girls. Scary crap. They do fingerprint at this establishment but he was hired years prior so it was missed is what she told me.
