She did such a wonderful job and we we are so pleased with the results! On such a chilly day her professionalism and lovely exuberance for her work warmed our hearts and kept us going.

Awful. Everything about how they handle business is wrong…read more I've never experienced such manipulating people. They will blame you for their mistakes instead of owning up then will ignore once you give evidence. Every appointment is something else. Either it's been canceled or delayed..

Saddest experience ever. We got married on January 22nd and it's taken me 3 months to write this…read morereview because this experience was so upsetting and John has yet to deliver all things promised. We hired John as a photographer for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. The sum of the Johns work was messy, grainy and unprofessional. More like taking random pictures at a party of nothing instead of understanding this is an intimate wedding with a once in a lifetime opportunity for these photos. Every conversation we had leading up to the event I asked him to please guide us every step of the way and I even gave him a shot list and photo references of exactly what I wanted and pictures of people in the wedding with names and labels of who everyone was. We had 35 guests, 4 in the wedding party and 6 family members we wanted photos of. He gave no instruction at all, he did not research or visit the venue prior to the wedding as promised and did not consider our surroundings for 2 days. He only got 3 photos of our family and none of them were good. He had to take all 3 and have them digitally altered into 1 so it would look decent. Out of the shot list I gave him he only accomplished one of the desired photos. He added so much stress to the day for me and it showed. I kept having to ask him to take photos of this and that. He was literally not paying attention at all finally my maid of honor directed him to take a few fun photos that turned out ok. John said he would have the photos back in 4 weeks. He only sent us one photo at 4 weeks then gradually over another week or so he sent the rest. I was so heartbroken when I saw how unclear they were and how nothing was edited out of the background or touched up. I asked him if he could clear them up for me and that took another few weeks. When I got them back there were significantly less photos than before and if they were edited, I couldn't really tell. I specifically asked John not to post any photos of us online without permission and he ignored me and posted some. HE POSTED PHOTOS OF US BEFORE WE EVEN HAD A CHANCE!!!! Once I saw them I immediately asked him to take them down and he did so after an hour. I dislike our photos so much that I still have not posted any of the pictures he had taken of us because nothing is crisp and clear and I don't feel beautiful. He promised us a 20x20 photo of our choice so he could "control the picture quality" that we have yet to get and he has not responded about... From the beginning we should have known better from his lack of communication. Then we tried to contact him 3 weeks, 2 weeks then 10 days before the wedding with no response. He had great reviews and I paid him through Venmo so the money was spent and we really wanted it to work with him. Frantically, I tried to find another photographer 10 days before our wedding. He finally responded after my sister and I messaged and called him on every forum possible. When he finally got back to me he said everything would be fine and he was a professional. NOT AT ALL!!. We had a private moment to eat upstairs and John was supposed to take photos of us on the balcony. I'm not sure what he was doing so I had my MOH take some photos of us and then he joined. Right after that my husband wanted to do James Bond photos and John proceeded to tell us that he used to shoot pornography and one of the themes was James Bond I felt this was inappropriate and added to the level of discomfort I had with him. I could probably write a book on how disappointed I was in John but the fact of the matter is he was clueless and I can't get these memories back. I do not recommend him at all. He had several wonderful reviews and that is why I hired him I don't know why we were different. We had a small wedding party, we were not demanding and I felt we gave him every opportunity to succeed and he failed on multiple levels on the most important day of our lives. Everything about our day was perfect but I did not enjoy any of it because I was so concerned about the photos. I had specifically told our guests there would be a photographer and just to enjoy themselves and sadly John did not deliver.

This is the third review I have written for Steve today, which means I have now given him 15 stars…read more I still do not feel like it is enough to express how impressed I am by his demeanor, his professionalism, and the work he produces. Steve is the groomsmen whisperer- he was able to convince 16 rowdy groomsmen, 2 ushers, and myself to cooperate long enough to shoot the most incredible groomsmen photos I have ever seen. After the wedding, my wife and I nervously joked about how we could not recall seeing Steve at the reception. As we talked about it more, we did actually get a little concerned, but when we received the album, it was as if Steve had somehow been everywhere at once! He did not miss a single moment- incredible! If you truly love the person you are marrying, do them a favor by choosing Steve Randon to immortalize your wedding- this is the easiest and best decision throughout the planning process. Thank you so much, Steve, for your commitment to providing your customers the best possible experience, and the phenomenal images of the happiest day of my life.

Three days prior to the wedding she had someone else text me that she couldn't make it due to a hip surgery, even though I talked to her a week prior and she acted like she would be there. I reached out to Heather to voice my concerns and she had an excuse for just about everything so I left it at that. Aside from the two photographers that did show up, were kind, and did a great job, the company's management style, including editing and album design felt depersonalized, half-assed and shady. I definitely got the vibe that as a New Orleans client I wasn't a priority and was more of a money grab now that Heather and Jaime have moved to Houston.

We were incredibly disappointed with our entire experience with Dark Roux. While we did get some…read morevery nice photos, overall we felt that we did not get the product advertised. We spent almost $5000 for about 480 pictures (for 2 photographers and a 7-hour session) that, in our opinion, did not come close to resembling the quality of the photos advertised. There is a whole story here of what we went through with the company, our credit card company, and the accusations by this company on their social media regarding our experience-however, it's not worth going into it. For any couple looking to hire a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend asking to view the ENTIRE portfolio from any company's most recent wedding before making your decision to hire someone for this very important day. If you want to see our wedding portfolio from this company, ask for the Nichols wedding from March 2020-make sure you get the whole set (again, about 480 photos). We posted a few of the many photos we received from Dark Roux that we feel were unusable below.
