We've received our sneak peeks so far, and we absolutely love them. Our guests have also been loving the photos and have commented on how professional, detail-oriented, and kind Kelly and her team were throughout the wedding day. They captured so many beautiful moments and emotions, and we can't wait to see the full collection. Even from the sneak peeks, it's clear how talented they are and how much care they put into their work. We're so grateful to Kelly and the entire Encor Studio team for being part of such an important day for us. We already know these memories will mean so much to us for years to come!

If you only read one line from this review, please read this;…read more Kelly and the team are the best photographers in the business and you should absolutely hire them. Encor previously shot engagement & wedding photo's for my brother-in-law's and the pictures came out absolutely wonderful, so we decided to also go with them for our engagement and wedding photography needs. They made the engagement shoot extremely easy, providing a list of recommended shooting locations and even scoped out the perfect area for us based on our request. On our wedding day we were worried as heavy rains were forecasted. The team did a great job of scouting out the area and giving us plan B's and plan C's in case we needed alt shooting locations. The photography was amazing and did a great job of helping us keep our energy up while keeping everything relaxed. The photographers were so creative with different lighting effects and camera angles despite not being familiar with the new wedding venue we chose. We feel they certainly got the best photos possible and were great with making accommodations for requests during the ceremony and reception. We received a few sneak peeks of our photos and are absolutely blown away so far! We couldn't be happier with choosing Encor and would encourage anyone that is looking for the best possible team and pictures to utilize them!

I love Alayna so much. I booked her for my 30th birthday photo shoot because I saw her work on…read moreInstagram. She arrived 5 minutes before our shoot and was such a joy to work with. She made me feel so comfortable and was so helpful. I had brought my accessories but didn't have the foresight to open them and had fake nails on so she was so kind to not only help me open those, but also assist me with my dress, carrying the box prop, and grabbing the balloons that floated away from our shoot. Despite me booking her for only 1.5 hours, she stayed with me am additional 30 minutes until my time at the booked photo booth was over and she helped me clean and locked up. Thank you for being so kind, generous, professional, understanding, and patient with me as so many things kept going wrong I appreciate you so much Alayna. I hope to work with you again one day and am excited for the results of the photo shoot. Thank you so much again!

She was also super prompt at getting us our digital images in 1 week! Highly recommend!

Wow, where to begin? Ok - starting with the general photos and vibe. When browsing for a photo…read morevendor, I'd been seeing a lot of airy pictures or color that was orangey - meh. I wanted something that looked like the cover of a romance novel. A romantic vibe. During this journey, we were introduced to this Lin and Jirsa (referred by a venue I think? Not quite now). Fast forward - I had an amazing experience with Juliana for our engagement photo shoot. Honestly, I wasn't even going to do the engagement photo shoot but the more I looked at Lin and Jirsas photos the more obsessed I got. Once you commit, you fill out a questionnaire and they even ask for inspo photos, good AND bad which I thought was cool! I'm so so so happy that Juliana will be with me on my upcoming wedding day. She was really great at coaching poses, which I was super nervous about. She showed photos in real time. Might I add, it's absolutely fascinating what settings on a camera, and someone holding a lighting stick can produce. The photos she showed me in real time looked like the magic that was produced in our viewing album! She was receptive to feedback about how I felt about myself in pics. Me: "My arm looks skinnier but when my hand is on my hip but I don't want to look like I'm trying to be skinny and have the same pose so like um, I don't know what I want." Juliana "I got you! Let's try this!" No hesitation. She also was very purposeful with the photos she took. She wasn't aimlessly snapping her camera with hopes of a good one - she was intentional and thoughtful. Julianas personality was great - engaging, funny, thoughtful. Her lighting assistant Diana (I think that was her name, so sorry I don't quite remember!) was super easy going too and took the direction of whatever vision Juliana had. The support team that emails you is very nice and efficient. I feel bad that I've not gotten back to them nearly as quickly as they replied to me! The original beach we selected Victoria Beach, ended up having super high tide so when we got there, she immediately had Plan B, no time wasted. When we got to the beach, we really wanted a picture with this seal we saw on a rock (from a safe distance of course so as to not bug). It looks like CGI but she got the pic!! She was climbing over rocks and really putting in effort to get good shots! At the end of the shoot I spontaneously wanted to get in the water and she happily snapped some shots and they came out great! (Visible in my post here). If you have any thoughts or concern about the cost or if it's a good idea - ITS THE BEST IDEA, do it!!! Before I ever saw their site (well, stared at it for hours) I never knew this was something I would want, or feel comfortable with. If you're getting married and are unsure because hey, weddings are insanely expensive, remember that your pics with live forever. So just commit, enjoy the process, and look forward to being absolutely in love with the magic this company creates!

Booked a call with Shilpa, and then today she is totally unreachable (including anyone at the studio). This was for my parent's golden anniversary and this group was the first on my mom's list. Received an email response from her explaining about covid and last minute emergencies, which I get. Stuff happens, but next time a simple email/text/smoke signal would be just common courtesy. But as you can see from her email, didn't seem like a huge deal to lose a customer. Must be nice. Needless to say we will be going with someone else. Taking this as a blessing in disguise!

Hiring the best video and photography team was one of our highest priorities during wedding planning, and after meeting with several vendors, Blossom Media stood out from the rest. You are not only incredibly kind and warm people who felt like family, but also talented artists who created beautiful photos and videos that transport us back to our wedding day. Every time we view our gallery, we relive the happiness and love we felt. Hiring your team was one of our biggest wins during the wedding preparations. Communication was always smooth, your responsiveness was excellent, and you guided us while truly understanding what was most important for us to have captured. You are true professionals, and your calm, reassuring presence on the wedding day meant so much to us. We spent the entire day with you, and we could not have asked for nicer people to share it with.

Blossom Media delivered beyond our greatest hopes, and we wholeheartedly recommend your team to anyone looking for exceptional wedding photography and videography. Thank you again for capturin these memories so beautifully.

Nikki truly has a gift in what she does. She's fun, passionate, sweet, dependable, patient if you have little ones (and husbands lol) and extremely talented. Nikki was all over the place in efforts to get that perfect shot. She brought out the best in our family through her photos. I have a 3 year old daughter and some of my favorite shots are of her. Nikki worked so well with her. And Nikki listens to you, which was very important to me. She understood the feel and look I wanted these photos to portray and completely exceeded our expectations. Taking family photos is not my husband's absolute favorite thing but he really enjoyed it with Nikki because of how natural she made us feel. Most of the time, we were just walking, playing, exploring the streams, and tickling our daughter. And she captured it all! That night Nikki sent us a few edited shots she had taken and I could not stop staring at them! I was in love. Within a few days, we got the rest and THEY WERE PERFECT!!! We wasted no time making prints, creating photo books for our family, and placing them on our walls to admire them everyday. We loved them so much that we already booked with her for this year.
