I don't think I can sing the praises of Cracked Light Studio highly enough. I got married on June…read more13, 2015. I hired Cracked Light to do the videography for the event. Prior to the event, Caleb was in constant communication so I always knew what was going on and what to expect - he even coordinated with the DJ in charge of the ceremony and reception to be sure the sound would work out and they wouldn't "step on each other's toes," since my groom was being mic'ed separately to catch the ceremony for the video. Everything we would receive was right in the contract, and there were no gray areas or catch 22's. It was all plain as day and a very fair agreement. Caleb even confirmed with me how I preferred they dress so they wouldn't be out of place, which I appreciated. We got the package that included a short "Story of Our Love" video, where my husband and I talked about how we met (this was shot prior to the wedding). The video was thoughtfully done, with them asking the right questions and catching the right shots to put together a wonderful piece. It was exciting to show our friends and family as we prepared for the wedding. Caleb is a natural interviewer. My husband, who is not known for being in front of cameras, was perfectly at ease when in Caleb's very capable hands. Sarah was incredible at using her photographer's eye to come up with many of the great shots that made up our beautiful video. The day prior to the ceremony, we had the rehearsal, and Caleb and Sarah were there to get the layout of the area and program, and they were already plotting where to stand, where to aim the camera, and figuring out angles to ensure they captured as much of the event as possible while not interfering with anything. (I've heard horror stories where videographers just went wherever they wanted, got in the way of guests, photographers, etc.) I was highly impressed with how well they worked together to come up with a "game plan." The morning of the wedding, they both arrived at 6am to start catching the process of the bridal party getting ready. They left a little beforehand (while we were just loading the cars to head to the venue) so they could start setting up to ensure everything was perfect... and perfect it was. Caleb and Sarah both were the epitome of professionalism. It was REALLY hot the day I got married, which of course was outside (brilliant, right?), and despite the heat, they stayed on top of everything. They worked well with the photographer, they were courteous to the guests, and they managed to capture moments that I wasn't even aware happened, and I was the bride! They stayed until the very end of the reception, even catching our departure. When I received the full length edit, I was brought to tears. I got to see moments that I missed at the wedding, and got to relive some WONDERFUL memories. Jason and I viewed it together, and there were laughs, tears, and love while we watched. I can't describe it as anything other than perfect - perfect moments, perfect editing, and perfect music. Our package also comes with a "highlight" film, and I can't wait to see that one as well. If you're looking for a reasonably priced, highly professional, attentive, and caring company to capture your moment, you NEED to call Cracked Light Studios!

Sarah Popper of Cracked Light Studio saw the smartphone photos of our America Star Books sales…read morestaff, and decided that Jackie and Kerrin, and Olivia, Sarah, the other Sarah, Alexis, and Lindsay deserved to look a bunch better. So she came to our Frederick office one morning, turned a large room into her studio, and shot away. The results were perfect, but what also stood out was that she worked methodically and efficiently, never disturbing the business of the day. A true professional!

We had planned to shoot outside but the day was VERY rainy so Jessie was able to improvise in the sunroom, still capturing some of the outdoors as part of the pictures. We had lots of different groupings that we wanted, and she not only accommodated them all, with great results, but gave us pointers on how to pose to be most photogenic and natural-looking. I can't say enough good things about this professional and her wonderful attitude about her sessions. Recommend her highly!!

Alyssa was on time and ready to capture our special moment. Alyssa gave us style tips with her great Style Guide prior to our session. She also helped us with various poses during our session. Throughout the session she was in tune of our best qualities and used the natural light to her advantage. She even asked for our advice and how we wanted to capture our style. Alyssa was prompt and got our proofs to use quickly! She was so friendly and easy to work with - it seemed like we were working with a friend instead of a "photographer." I would recommend her to all friends and family!!! Thank you Alyssa!
