If I Could leave a big fat O for stars I would. BEWARE OF THIS PHOTOGRAPHER!!! Let me start by…read moresaying we saw Dan at the Seattle wedding show. I was with my daughter and Niece. My Niece had previously worked with him at an unrelated job and my son was actually an acquaintance of his. We were happy to hire someone that was known to the family. What could go wrong right????? Well just about everything. My daughter put down a 3000.00 deposit. Trying to schedule their engagement photos was a chore. Dan has been going through a divorce for what seems like a couple of years now. All though I sympathize with this, the divorce excuse gets old. At some point he needs to take accountability for the poor way he runs his business. This should have been a red flag to start with but since he was known to the family my daughter and her fiancé just keep pushing on with him. My daughter wedding is Aug 10th 2024. Dan sent the couple an email in May 2024 apologizing that he would not be able to photograph their wedding after all since his family had planned a surprise Trip to Europe. Say what?????? They have had him booked for over a year! 3 months before the wedding he would not be able to hold up his end of the contract! He did offer to have another photographer shoot the wedding and then of course he would edit the photos when he returned from his trip. They decided to go with a new photographer Instead. His communication is the worse I've ever experienced. It would take him weeks to reply. He ended up only refunding half to the down payment. Originally the engagement photos were included but since they decided not to go with his recommendation he in the end charged them for the engagement photos. Please read the reviews below because if he can do this to people he has a personal connection with he could certainly do this to you! Do Not use him!!!!! It will not be a smooth process. Dan..... I am so disappointed in how you handled this. DO BETTER!!!!!!!!!

WARNING!! over promise, never delivered! My husband and I…read morehired Dan Manning after meeting him at the Seattle bridal Expo. For our wedding in July 2022. He started out very communicative and responsive. Until we had set up our engagement photo session. He was late getting our engagement photo gallery to us, so late that I could not use any for our wedding invitations. My bells went off at that time but my full deposit had been paid by this time and too late to hire new. I gave him the benefit of the doubt. His gallery of past work was beautiful, after all. He had a delightful second photographer with him on our wedding day and I felt a bit better. Wedding was July 1, 22 and we did not receive our Digital Wedding photo gallery until November 8, 22. Well past the 8 weeks. He gave us excuses as busy season and going through a life change- divorce. After viewing and selecting the photos for the prepaid for albums and prints(per contract) he went radio silent. It is now November 2023 and we have not received any response, from text, emails and phone calls. We had to pay in full prior to our wedding day for the full photo package,. This is because of the contract and as it states we are not able to print our own photos. Not only do we not have pictures of our wedding day, my in laws had their 50th Wedding anniversary the same day as our wedding. We did some extra shots with them and the leather bound album was going to be a special gift for them. We are now at the stage to pursue legal action. DO NOT USE this person!!!

I emailed and then called. Brian was extremely rude over the phone. I could hardly get two words in and asked if he would just send me the digital photos and I will print them my self, as he continued to tell me it's not his fault I never got them, he mailed them. I even called my local post office to have them check to see if it was sitting at the post office. Finally he emailed me digital photos but it wasn't my child in the photo. Now he said he has to look for the correct card. I'm just hoping he makes this right, as I paid and have been patiently waiting. I won't be going back what should have taken 10minutes to solve the issue has taken multiple emails and a couple phone calls. He even laughed when I told him he sent me photos of a different child. I don't find this situation funny nor professional. I have had professional photos taken and never had any of these issues, and this is for a simple santa photo.

All I really wanted was to get dressed up, hike along the pacific coast with our daughter, and renew our vows... so that's exactly what we did. We found Danielle Lentz online and after viewing her portfolio we knew that her style and aesthetic was exactly what we were looking for - bonus that she is a local, Snohomish photographer! From the start, Danielle was a true professional and very easy to connect with. We decided on La Push for our destination and she helped us in planning out the logistics for the day. The funny thing is, plans rarely go according to plan... our family arrived late to the campsite, we rushed to get ready, and the weather was not what hoped for. I had a low-key meltdown on the beach, feeling everything was a just a mess. Through it all, Danielle's sweet and positive attitude kept us encouraged that we would get the photos we were hoping for, despite the complications along the way. She was patient, flexible, calm, and reminded us that we were on an adventure. She helped us relax and stay comfortable, which was significant considering we had never taken family photos before - and it can feel a little awkward at times! When we received the gallery with our photos a few weeks later, we were truly blown away. Danielle has such a great eye for capturing the moment, and it comes across so beautifully in her photos. She made this dream of ours come to life! I have shared the gallery with friends and family and received so many compliments - Danielle's work is simply stunning. Looking back on the day, I realize that it was intimate, adventurous, silly, romantic, chaotic, and very, very lovely. Danielle, you are a gem. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Words cannot express how much we loved working with her and how much fun we had on both occasions! Photo shoots can be a bit awkward and intimidating, but Danielle made us feel so comfortable and gave us a little guidance when needed. All the while she captured some really amazing moments! Her attention to detail behind the scenes makes the finished product that much more special. I also have to rave on her location scouting skills. We wanted a killer backdrop for our pictures and she knocked it out of the park! Do not be afraid to go on a little adventure with her, the outcome is well worth it!

She helped us immensely with poses and we felt very comfortable around her. Our engagement shoot felt like a whole adventure. Savanna has a number of beautiful locations scouted out and it barely felt like a posed shoot as we were having such a fun time. On our wedding day she handled our larger family photos like a true professional. We were shocked when we found that we'd followed our wedding day schedule almost to the minute, from getting ready, to first look, to bridal photos at a nearby park, to getting back to our venue in time to relax before the ceremony. Savanna also has an insanely fast response time. She's so detailed in her responses and goes above and beyond to clarify details such as meeting time, weather alternatives, timelines, etc. We also had our engagement and wedding photos back within a matter of weeks! Savanna, you've captured so many beautiful moments of joy, excitement, and love that we would've otherwise missed. I know we'll be poring over these photos for years to come and will cherish them for a lifetime!

Jezebel vonZephyr. What can I say that will encompass the amazing experience I had? Well... a lot…read more I've already rewritten this because I could EASILY write 2 or 3 pages singing the praise!! (no really, my last attempt had already reached a whole page and I wasn't even done yet!) First. Body Positivity? Jezebels has it in SPADES! And not the fake body positivity that's kinda toxic and icky. I mean they really want to help everyone celebrate their female form. Boudoir can often bring really specific vibes to mind, leaving people with bigger bodies, smaller bodies, "straighter" bodies feeling unsure how to participate. HAVE NO FEAR, JEZEBEL VONZEPHYR IS HERE! They will help you with everything. If you have ideas, great! They'll work with them. If you have NO ideas, that's ok! Their creativity seems to know no bounds. If you have extensive collections of sexy, sultry things, bring them on it! If not, they have an amazing treasure trove of...everything: bras, panties, corsets, stockings, shoes, dresses, skirts, tops, robes, jewelry, etc. And they post videos going through their client closet so you can get an idea ahead of time of what might excite you to try! These Client Closet tours are posted on their Facebook group which is another amazing thing about them. The people in this Facebook group are so kind and they are 100% here to hype you up and help celebrate you as you are. Besides glimpses into the client closet, they also feature "Seize the Selfie" posts encouraging group members to post any selfie where they were really feeling themselves. It's truly a great community they're building. On the actual day of my photoshoot, I packed up my stuff and went to their absolutely amazing studio. They have 9 sets and at least one that gets updated throughout the year. I got to experience this one in the "Something Wicked This Way Comes" setup. Gorgeous! It's giving darkness. It's giving sensuous. It's giving "I have your heart in my hand... literally as well as figuratively". To say I felt powerful on this set would be an understatement. 100% no notes. Sarah worked with what I brought and supplemented from the client closet as needed. She picked pieces I never would have considered but everyone had done so much to cultivate this air of trust and safety that I knew I could just RUN with it. Sometimes, you gotta let the professionals do their stuff, you know?! I think the thing that floored me the most was the inclusion of my walking stick. I have a few health conditions that can make it hard to hold poses, do stairs, or just... remain steady. Since the studio DOES have some serious stairs, I'd brought it to make sure I could get up there. Sarah was immediately on board with working my walking stick (I mean... it's more like a staff, being over 4 or 5 ft) into the sessions. I know I mentioned body positivity but let me just say it again. TALK ABOUT BODY POSITIVITY! We're not going to hide this mobility aid; we're going to celebrate ALL of you and that includes this. From the minute I walked in, to the minute I walked out, and if I'm being honest it's been a continuing feeling since then, I felt celebrated and powerful. I haven't even had my image reveal appointment yet and I'm already percolating ideas for another go! Addicted? Uh... yeah, maybe a bit *heart emoji* This photo is a fun (and family-friendly) reminder of my amazing day. While I was getting my makeup down by the amazing Angelica (please forgive me if I get your name wrong, you were an amazing INTEGRAL part of the day!), Sarah came over with a bunch of cards. I just let the spirit direct me to the right card and I pulled this amazing quote. I had definitely been feeling like I'd gotten L after L recently and this was exactly the message I needed. Yes, there were tears. Afterwards, I not only got this amazing image as a reminder (yeah, those origami stars were something I brought to work into the session) but I also got the actual card and a super saucy Polaroid memento!!!

Then, when they called me to confirm everything, I told them I can't afford $6**.00 to $7**.00 for photos with digital. That's just way too much. They said they couldn't give me a refund....(wtf), so I told them, you'll be seeing my comment on Yelp! It seems scammy to me.

I really cannot recommend Luna Bella Events more highly for you wedding and special event…read morephotography!! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars! I first met Kyle and Colleen from Luna Bella Events at the Wedding Show in Lynnwood, WA. We had a great conversation and the samples of their work was truly awesome!! They had a creative way of capturing wedding moments that was elegant, fun and warm and you could tell they were truly in love with the work they do. Our wedding took awhile to plan, but Luna Bella was right there every step of the way with wonderful customer service and helpful information. We contracted with them to handle our wedding photos, album and he DJ service for the wedding day. As most brides who plan their own wedding can relate, pulling the "big day" together can be stressful. I was a little afraid everyone in our wedding party would get a little antsy having to pose for picutres, but Kyle and Colleen made it such fun that everyone had a great time!! By the time the ceremony came around, we were much more relaxed and having fun. My husband and I are so glad that we contracted with Luna Bella Events because they made it a really fun experience and more of an event than we had expected. We had an absolutely fantastic experience, thanks to Luna Bella Events. The pictures turned out beautifully and the DJ work was just fantastic! I could not have asked for a better experience.
