During my career as both an Art Director, Graphic Designer, and Creative Director, I've worked with…read moremany gifted, and creative people who knew their craft extremely well. And while the technology behind photography has advanced over the years, putting the making of memories by photo into the hands of almost everyone, there still remains, and in my opinion always will, quite a significant difference between the"do-er", the artist. And it's in that elusive something, that inborn spark for capturing the most absolutely perfect moment in time that will never come again, the gift. That ability to listen both with artistic ears and an open heart to a client's wishes for a project. And in-between their instructions on the time, day and venue, hear the unspoken dreams and hopes for these moments in time to last a lifetime. And this is what separates a Professional Photographer from anyone else with a camera. And this Karen Gallagher Photography. While I've never used her in a professional capacity, Karen did a portrait photo shoot for me as a gift for my husband. And due to the fact that I am not well, there were not only issues with timing and alloted time I was "on my game" so to speak, but the effects of many medications and the fact that time is drawing to a close was written all over my face. Not a pretty picture ... Pardon the pun. Karen not only was beyond remarkable in her kindness and generosity as well as empathy and compassion and patience! She finished my portrait after my delays due to illness which never ruffled her and begging for retouching so my husband would remember me in a "much improved version". The final portrait was done in such a way that I neither looked "plastic" nor as unwell as I presently was, but in the best version of "me" ... and we were both so pleased. To tears . Karen was human, light-hearted and professional giving great direction. Her final presentation was top shelf, and from a professional stand point, her technique, styling, and execution were top notch. The heart and soul shown through. In both of us ... And I gained a dear friend in the bargain as well. You won't regret your choice. I promise!

Wow. I have worked with a lot of Photographers over the years in the events business, and I have to…read moresay, I have never been more impressed with one than Karen. Not only is her work of the highest caliber, but her intangibles are top notch! She is very professional, excellent at communication, and follows through on everything! She has a knack at capturing the subtle nuances that make our events special, so that we can show off the photos and people can genuinely relate to what it feels like to be there! Talented and professional, I would highly recommend Karen to anyone looking for a skilled, hard working photographer that "gets it" to capture your special events. All class. Look forward to the next one!

My fiancé and I had the best experience ever with Desiree! We met her at the Bridal Expo and…read morescheduled a time to sit down and discuss our photography needs for our wedding. We decided on a package from her that included our engagement photo shoot, 2 shooters for our wedding day, and all photos available for download from an online gallery. Our engagement photo shoot was in Sedona and it was so much fun! Desiree met us up there and brought along one of her photography friends who lived in Sedona and knew the area. We were able to get comfortable with her and got amazing pictures for our Save the Date and wedding website. We received our edited engagement photos back within a few weeks and loved the result! As our wedding day approached, Desiree met us at our venue and did a walkthrough with us to go over the schedule for the day and help us create a shot list. The day of the wedding, Desiree and Michelle were early and captured some great shots of the venue before we arrived. Once we were there, they divided and conquered to get shots of the bridal party and groom's party getting ready and doing shots together. We did our first look, group shots, and then the ceremony began and it was all very easy and went smoothly. Throughout the whole day, Desiree was attentive, in the right place at the right time, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She carried around my shot list to ensure that we didn't miss any of my "must have" shots. Once our wedding was over, I was already anxious to see our pictures! Within a few hours, Desiree posted a sneak peek on her Facebook page with a few shots that she had already edited! A month later, I had a full album of 2500 pictures to view online, download, and get printed. I would highly recommend Desiree to anyone looking to do family, engagement, or wedding photos, you won't be disappointed!

Mark is a one of a kind photographer - almost literally. As soon as I found out he still shoots…read morefilm I was intrigued, but after working with him for my wedding on 9/14 I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and his work. The film style gives every photo it's own unique vibe that could not be captured with a digital camera and his eye for fine art is clear in every photo. Even though it ended up pouring rain on our outdoor wedding and things were chaotic for a bit Mark was able to quickly adapt and capture unique shots in the midst of the craziness. He was always extremely professional and took the time prior to and after the wedding to go over details. I'm in love with every photo and look forward to reliving my wedding through them for years to come.

My husband and I were married in April 2009 and I certainly regret not reviewing Muscleman Music…read moresooner. Jason and Kerri are a fantastic couple. They are professional, wonderfully kind and easy to work with. Jason was a a great DJ. He was attentive to our likes/dislikes and made sure to stick to what we had spoken about before the wedding day. No chicken dance, thank you very much! He was approachable, even when mini-bridal meltdowns occurred and was thoughtful toward any questions we may have had. Kerri acted as a planner for our event. While our venue came with a wedding planner, she was extremely helpful when it came to details, contacting vendors, etc...she also provided our linens for us at a very reasonable rate. They were beautiful and she really had an eye for what worked, what didn't work and most importantly, what made her clients happy. I would recommend these two for any of the services they offer. They will take the stress out of 'vendor madness', as I lovingly call it, and make sure you receive all the attention you deserve for your big day. Thanks, Jason and Kerri!

Muscleman Music & More was the top recommendation on the list provided to us by the venue. We first met with Jason in July of 2012 in the process of interviewing several DJ's for the wedding. He made it very clear to use when we first met that it was our special day and that they would do everything in their power to make sure it went off without a hitch. He spent over an hour chatting with us about what we envisioned, our musical tastes, and plans for the evening. We instantly felt at ease working with Jason and Kerri. As the wedding approached, Jason was in contact with us to nail down the final details an timelines, get the first dance songs, and take care of any last minute items. The day of the wedding, both Jason and Kerri arrived on time and were ready to go well before the reception kicked off. The reception was excellent. Jason was very entertaining and engaging with our guests. He also did a great job in selecting music based on our likes. Kerri was also excellent, she worked very closely with my wife and the venues coordinator to ensure that everything stayed on our schedule, announcements were made for big events, and just assisting our guests in general. Overall, I cannot say enough great things about Jason and Kerri! Jason and Kerri, if you are reading this - Thank you for the wonderful memories and great time you provided us from that day!
