How does one begin to write a review for someone who has been so amazing as Joanne Doll of Lasting…read moreImpressions by Design? She singlehandedly saved our wedding countless times, and made our vision come to life in the most spectacular way! After having been burned by two other so-called wedding planners with 5-star reviews on websites like TheKnot.com and WeddingWire.com, I was reluctant, to say the least, to hire another wedding planner. The first wedding planner I had hired did nothing her contract said that she would do for me (like negotiate contracts and help me find vendors), so I cancelled with her - during which she had made me sign a non-disclosure agreement. The next wedding planner simply took my money and ran. That was a loss of $2K, right there. Gone forever from our wedding budget. Even so, my attendants couldn't help (they lived in Dallas, Oklahoma City, or were overseas) and I was in over my head. I decided to give it one more try. I asked a friend, Tricia, who she would recommend. She gave me Joanne Doll's phone number. Joanne and I met at Bakery Lorraine and I immediately just adored her. She arrived exactly on time, if not a little early. She was the sweetest, most down to earth person. I was impressed by how organized she was, even at our first meeting. She was 100% supportive and enthusiastic about our theme. She told me about her background in teaching and showed me examples of her work. She was upfront about her company's pricing and her contract was written in clear, easy to understand (without needing to have a law school degree!) language. I was VERY PLEASED that her contract did not have a non-disclosure ("no negative review") clause in it. I hired her right then, at that meeting. From before day one, Joanne was responsive, and ALWAYS did what she said she was going to do, when she said she would do it. I would get a super helpful email every month with check-in on various aspects which was insanely helpful. When my father passed away, Joanne gave space when needed and support when needed. Over the course of the past year, I grew to care for her as a friend, if not family, because she was just such an anchor at times. When things hit a snag, Joanne always was able to find a solution quickly and with the greatest of finesse. I was seriously impressed. When the week of the wedding cane, of course, some things went awry, but as usual, Joanne got it handled. Our wedding day would have probably not happened without her excellent judgment and fantastic problem solving skills. I was so very grateful to have her on our team. She really did MAKE our wedding happen! In fact, I was having trouble with the ceremony music, and she was able to, with her skills as THE BEST WEDDING PLANNER EVER, and her knowledge of us as a couple, recommended the perfect song for me to walk down the aisle to. Joanne has absolutely earned a place in our hearts and in our family for her incredible work on our wedding. Our only regret was that we didn't hire her FIRST, as soon as we got engaged. I HIGHLY recommend Lasting Impressions by Design, especially their FULL PLANNING package, because even if you think you already have everything planned out, Joanne will be able to take your vision and make it happen within your budget (if not under), keep you calm when life gets crazy (and IT WILL!), and make the entire process so much smoother. Even if you think you can't afford to hire a wedding planner, I say from experience: YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO HIRE JOANNE FROM LASTING IMPRESSIONS BY DESIGN! (She also has partial planning and day of coordination packages available, which are also great!)

I could not have had my wedding without Lasting Impressions by Design, more specifically without…read moreJoanne and Katie. As dramatic as that may sound, I never understood just how important a day of coordinator was until we booked with LIBD. Every month leading up to my wedding day, I received emails keeping me on track for my wedding and reminding me of even the smallest details that I might forget! I sent every contract to LIBD to ensure that any breaches of contracts (I'll revisit that) could be taken care of appropriately. When the days were getting close to the wedding, I met with Joanne and Katie to discuss every detail down to the 10 minutes my groom and I would have alone time in the bridal suite after our ceremony. (A necessity by the way!) Joanne and Katie even helped me with some last minute rental items for small details at my wedding that I wanted but had a hard time finding on my own. Come the day of the rehearsal and they were able to lead my wild and crazy wedding party the right way and just as I imagined my wedding to be. Finally, on the day of the wedding, I didn't have to lift a finger. Joanne and Katie teamed up and took care of every detail for me, set up my signage and decor that I brought from home. These ladies made sure that my groom and I never had to stand in line at the bar and had a drink in hand at all times. They reminded me to breathe, kept me on track, and took care of our gifts and cleaning up the items we brought from home and loaded our cars. The photobooth at my wedding showed up over 2 hours late and Joanne and Katie made sure that we received a full refund without me having to say a word to the photobooth company. We have already recommended to a couple friends about hiring a wedding coordinator because of what a pleasant experience we had, we also will be sure to recommend LIBD to any local friends and family members of ours getting married! Thank you Joanne and Katie for every big and little feat you did for Frank and I. We cannot thank you enough!

They were extremely flexible as our plans changed 48hrs before the wedding due to weather. They showed up early and set up for the wedding ceremony quickly. During the nuptial mass, I couldn't even tell they were there and they managed to capture all of the important mass parts. They were efficient with the group photo and even managed to make the cranky ring bearer crack a smile!! At the reception they did an incredible job of capturing all the moments that my husband and I missed. When we received the photos back it was incredible to relive the wedding day and see all the wonderful memories that were made. Royce returned the full photos so quickly, I was impressed at his turn around time. I have already started recommending them to everyone I know getting married!

We hired Greg to photograph our April 2017 wedding, and could not have been more pleased. I have…read morehigh standards of professionalism, and he exceeded them in every case. Greg communicates often and well, shows up early for appointments, is thorough in his planning, and most importantly, produces excellent photographs. He met with us early on to chat and get to know each other, then visited the wedding site to talk with the priest and evaluate the light and angles. He gave us a recommended shot list, asked us what customizations we wanted to make for it, and graciously made sure we got all of the photos we wanted (and many more that he took opportunistically). His photos are technically well-done, and he adds creativity both with his choice of angles and his post-processing of the pictures, often providing 2-3 treatments of each shot. (Faded color, black and white, and saturated color, for example.) He also delivered the whole collection of photos promptly after the event. If you want a photographer who conducts himself professionally, is reasonably priced, and does a great job, I'd recommend Greg highly.

They invite you into their home for appointments, and are genuinely happy for this exciting time in their clients' lives. Our engagement photo shoot with Daniel was so fun and comfortable. He really helped us feel less awkward about the process, and we soon were laughing and having a great time. The photos from that shoot came out better than I could imagine. My bridal shoot was just as comfortable and I have never seen such amazing photos of myself. Dan made me look more glamorous than I ever thought I could! The day of the wedding Dan and Kristi spent the entire day with my husband and I taking pictures before, during, and after the wedding (from about noon to about 1:30 in the morning!). By now, we were so comfortable around them that we considered them as good friends who happened to hang out and take pictures all day, and those pictures were gorgeous! The quality of the album, photos, and everything else was also exceptional. Due to Dan's photo journalistic style, my husband and I can look at our album and re-live our wedding day all over again from beginning to end. I absolutely love Daniel Holman Photography, and would recommend them to anyone I know.

I found them through a Groupon, I needed to schedule a speedy photo session for 5 kids ranging in age from 3 - 13 years old when my SIL was in town with her boys. I could not ask for more flexible photographers! They were very accommodating on the location and date (we met at the Arboretum in Austin) Mikenzie coordinated with me through text (which I really appreciated), she gave me great ideas of things to bring to keep all the kiddos entertained and helped with suggestions on what to wear. What I really appreciated is that they were WONDERFUL with all the kids!! Mikenzie and Tim kept talking with them, let the kids do their own thing and did not try to stage them much. At the same time they were so professional, making adjustments for light, different lenses and the photos turned out AMAZING. (The price was really good too!) I am definitely going back to these guys and highly recommend them if you have tough to photograph kids!!
