Never had a problem with follows up or her going MIA. She was very detailed in her timeline and the shots she was going to take. She even helped clarify any ongoing questions we had. When photographing, it all feels natural. She loves to take candid and naturally-felt posed photos. She honestly captures it all. My husband is awkward when it comes to getting his photo taken but Alexandra helped get him out of that comfort zone. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend her as your photographer. I mean take a look at the photos she took of our wedding. That should help back up my words!

(The shots are for my romance author pseud, so anonymity is key). She went way above and beyond to nail the shoot- asking around with fellow photographers for shooting location ideas, spending hours with me to get all the shots I wanted. I honestly can't remember a time I had more fun... it was like exploring downtown Seattle with her, flexing our creativity and seeing what she could come up with. She is an absolute gem. Professional and kind and talented, and she treated my shoot like it was the most important thing to her at that time. She's also genius... did I mention that? She gave me more pictures than I even know what to do with, all brilliant. Can't wait to work with her again.

Her style is elegant, clean, and airy and, while she's so happy to execute specific photos and shots one your wish lists, she's also excellent at allowing you to move throughout the day freely and capture the small, lovely moments in between. We had a 150-person wedding at the Center for Urban Horticulture, which is a large, spread-out venue, and Janelle and her team were always where we needed them to be, capturing all of the special moments of our day! Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for weddings, portraits, and everything in between!

I truly can't say enough good things about working with Janelle. She went above and beyond during…read moreour engagement photo shoot, both in how she cared for us as people and in the quality of the images she delivered. I'm someone who usually ducks and hides the moment I see a camera pointed my way, but her warmth, humor, and gentle direction completely changed that for me. Her energy made me feel confident, at ease, and even beautiful in front of the lens, which is something I never thought I'd say. My fiancé and I had an absolute blast the entire shoot. She made the whole experience feel like a fun date rather than a stiff photo session. She captured our personalities and connection so effortlessly. Every photo feels authentic, joyful, and somehow even more magical than we remember the moment being. Her eye for detail, composition, and light is truly unmatched. You can tell she brings not just technical skill, but heart and artistry to everything she does. The final gallery blew us away. We're having the hardest time choosing favorites because they're all so stunning. If you're looking for someone who's not only wildly talented but also kind, genuine, and an absolute joy to be around, look no further. I cannot recommend Janelle enough.

She had some great ideas for our formal shots and then some fun shots with our family and friends. She and another photographer did an outstanding job of taking beautiful and fun photos. Both were very professional and they captured the essence of our special day. They got great shots while nearly unnoticed. They took over 1600+ photos and no one was missed! The pics were available for online review a week after ceremony. She created a video and we could order prints from her or use the flash drive of our photos she provided. She also found a videographer for our ceremony. All this at very reasonable rates. Book her for your special day, you won't be disappointed!

We told her the first look photos were most important to us, and she really gave some artistic vision to those shots.

She helped us immensely with poses and we felt very comfortable around her. Our engagement shoot felt like a whole adventure. Savanna has a number of beautiful locations scouted out and it barely felt like a posed shoot as we were having such a fun time. On our wedding day she handled our larger family photos like a true professional. We were shocked when we found that we'd followed our wedding day schedule almost to the minute, from getting ready, to first look, to bridal photos at a nearby park, to getting back to our venue in time to relax before the ceremony. Savanna also has an insanely fast response time. She's so detailed in her responses and goes above and beyond to clarify details such as meeting time, weather alternatives, timelines, etc. We also had our engagement and wedding photos back within a matter of weeks! Savanna, you've captured so many beautiful moments of joy, excitement, and love that we would've otherwise missed. I know we'll be poring over these photos for years to come and will cherish them for a lifetime!

First of all, both my fiance and I are awkward people. This meant finding a wedding photographer…read morewho could work with a socially awkward couple would be...difficult. Of course, we wanted perfect pictures...but we also wanted to feel comfortable with our photographer on our big day. After viewing many websites and contacting many photographers, we chose Siang and Lightphoria because of Siang's personality and his love for photography. Siang is easy to work with and listens to all your concerns and needs. We started off with a couple's session (aka engagement session) where we went around Seattle, taking pictures and breaking the ice. We turned these pictures into a guestbook, which ALL our guests adored and could not stop talking about!! Siang not only made sure he had good shots, but he took the time to develop a photographer/client connection (being socially awkward and all, boy did we take up a lot of his time). Seriously though, many photographers can take perfect pictures by working with lighting and the basic rules of photography 101. But only great photographers can capture those indescribable moments where one glance from the bride or that look in the groom's eyes captures feelings from that day. Siang has captured some of these "moments." When I look at my photos, I don't see just family and friends - instead, I see love, happiness, nervousness and joy. It is these intangible moments that Siang captures so beautifully. You won't be disappointed with Lightphoria or Siang if you ask him to freeze frame important moments in your life. We love him so much that we plan to have him at other special occasions in our life such as anniversaries, the start of our family and our children's birthday. Hopefully, our children won't be as socially awkward around cameras as Mommy and Daddy. P.S. Tell Siang that "DOMO" says hi!

Siang is amazing. On behalf of one of my best friends, whose wedding I was in as a bridesmaid, I…read morecannot begin to thank him for the moments he captured on her special day. Both the bride and groom love photographs, but were apprehensive of double chins, awkward faces and poses, as well as their first glance being captured on film. Siang knew just what to say, when to say it, and how to make everyone involved feel special and at ease. Siang was probably the only one who knew how to handle the devious flower girls and apprehensive ring bearers in the hot August sun. No double chins any where either! I've also had the pleasure of attending another wedding that Siang photographed. In both weddings the bride and groom felt like the photographs made their weddings seem that much more beautiful and fun! Nothing but rave reviews on his genuine, comfortable approach to wedding photography, not to mention the gorgeous shots. He also put together (possibly as part of the package, I'm not sure), slideshows and picked music for each one. This was truly a blessing as the wedding that I was in, the pictures came after the new groom was already deployed in Afghanistan. The pictures are beautiful reminder of their wedding and lifetime to come.

Irene came recommended to us from another couple that previously worked with her and she surpassed…read moreevery thing we thought it would be to work together. Our beautifully imagined July wedding of 75 became unfeasible when the pandemic hit. Irene was the most communicative vendor we were working with. She reached out to us almost immediately and offered us options and support in making the decision to move forward with an intimate elopement. I am not exaggerating when I say nothing went according to plan. On the day of our elopement Irene was a calming force. Her level of expertise afforded me the ability to completely trust that she was guiding me and my husband to look our best. We cannot recommend Irene enough. If you are lucky enough to be able to book her you will not be disappointed.

Irene is AMAZING! She photographed our wedding this last summer, and picking her was one of my…read morefavorite parts of the entire wedding journey. I am not usually super comfortable with taking photos, but she made it feel so natural and easy. She captured so many priceless moments with my family and loved ones, most of the time I didn't even know she was there unless we were posing! I am beyond happy with the incredible work she did for us, and the time she took to be sure everything was perfect. She even walked us through downtown tourists and traffic on a busy summer day to be sure we got to the locations we wanted, and brought us to some we didn't know about and ended up loving! Every time I called or emailed, she was there with a quick and helpful response, which definitely helped to alleviate some of the wedding planning stress. She truly captured not only people, but emotions, who my husband and I are together and the love that we share. The photos she created allow us to share the story of our love and special day, and we are going to cherish this forever!

We LOVED having DJ Gumbeaux MC and DJ our wedding. Throughout the whole process, he brought so much…read moreenergy and experience, which helped us get all of the little details on point. Before the wedding day, these are just a few things he did: talked to our wedding party on how they were incorporated into our unique ceremony; called our officiant to make sure all cues were perfect at the ceremony; mixed our first dance song; walked through the script during our reception; went through our dance playlist and talk us through how he'd decide what to play. On the day of, we wanted a high-energy wedding, and he matched exactly what we wanted. He had a great, live banter with our officiant, the cues for the ceremony + reception were on point, and he hyped up the guests all night. At the end of the night, he kept the dance floor moving! He read the crowd to take the set in a direction they loved while still making sure to get to our must plays. These are just some of the big things he did, but it's his attention to the small details that really made our wedding run so smoothly. We had a perfect wedding day, and we couldn't imagine our perfect day with anyone else. Thank You Magnolia Rhapsody!

We couldn't have asked for a better DJ for our wedding. From the very beginning, he was incredibly…read moreorganized and professional, with multiple planning meetings that kept us on track and completely stress-free. He even created a custom mix of our wedding song, which was such a special touch and meant a lot to us. Beyond his professionalism, he was genuinely a pleasure to work with -- great energy, easy to talk to, and someone we truly enjoyed spending time with throughout the process. On the day of the wedding, everything ran smoothly and effortlessly thanks to him. He kept the entire event organized and flowing perfectly. The dance party was an absolute highlight. We received so many compliments from our guests about how fun and energetic it was -- people are still talking about it. If you're looking for a DJ who is talented, prepared, personable, and makes your wedding day feel easy and unforgettable, we cannot recommend him enough.

I highly recommend MXBloom for wedding photography & videography services. They're incredible…read more For context, I was a June 2023 bride in Snohomish, WA. Neil & Fiona of MXBloom were our power couple duo that provided both photography & videography services. Back in fall of 2022, they did our engagement shoot. We originally weren't that interested in doing one, but that was one of the best decisions because it allowed us to interact with Fiona (& Neil) before our big day. She directed us, captured our moments beautifully, and was so fun to work with. On our big day, Neil & Fiona were a rockstar team! They were professional, polite, AND also so much fun to have around! What I found particularly striking was their ability to capture the candid and posed moments throughout the day, without us feeling like we had to break from "being in the moment" (if that makes sense.) You could tell throughout the entire time, they were both "on" and trying to identify all the amazing, key moments to photograph/video. There were several times we had to shift our timeline during the wedding, and they were both very responsive and accommodating to those changes. They worked so well with our DJ/MC Alan (which by the way, is such an important aspect - vendors being able to work together like one team.) Their service and value provided was worth every cent. And given our wedding was a blending of our Asian (Chinese/Vietnamese) heritage and Western upbringing, we felt Fiona & Neil were the PERFECT people to document our big day. It was also such a touching moment seeing how my parents, who speak Chinese Mandarin, were able to make conversation with Neil & Fiona. Oh, one other mind-blowing fact. Fiona was about 7.5 months pregnant when she was working on our wedding day. Yet, the way she carried herself and energy she brought, you couldn't tell she was pregnant at all! A superwoman! If you're planning on having a wedding (or any other life milestones). If you're planning on finding ONE company that does both photography & videography (which I highly recommend). If you're planning on having a highly talented, professional team document your big day - hire MXBloom. Also, if you're planning on having an Asian/Asian-leaning wedding, Neil & Fiona are the choice for you. This review has been written during the time prior to receiving our photos & videos, and we cannot wait to see when we receive them.
