He is exactly the photographer you need on your wedding day and made our day so incredibly special. It was raining so much and he still was able to capture our day.

He went out of his way to make sure we got STUNNING photos outside in the pouring rain. We had multiple calls before our wedding because David wanted to make sure he got all the photos I wanted ! He is truly the best! David has done 2 of my other sister's weddings and he never disappoints ! Seriously look nowhere else he is the best ! I cannot wait for more photo shoots down the road in MV!

They capture the spirit of the day, all of the lovely personalities of our family and friends, and the beauty of the island so perfectly. Everyone who has seen the photos has been blown away. Those who are knowledgeable about photography have been especially complimentary - Kristen really knows what she's doing! I will treasure the photos forever - there are SO MANY good ones I can't even pick out which ones to print first! What I especially loved about working with Kristen was how easy she was to work with and how comfortable she made the whole thing for us. She met with us a couple times prior to the wedding, and helped us devise a schedule for the day, made note of special photos we wanted, and gave us really helpful info on what to expect. On the day of the wedding, she was a joy to have around, kept us on schedule while still totally letting us do our thing, and was super patient with my occasionally rambunctious wedding party. I really couldn't have asked for anything more. I chose to work with Kristen because I absolutely adored her photos. What I didn't realize was how much of an asset she'd be in so many ways, and how important a role the photographer would play in the day itself and our memories of it. Hiring Kristen is one of the best wedding decisions we made - her work is worth every last penny she charges!!

He was awesome and turned a surprise shoot into an amazing and intimate shoot that made her feel so special and the complete center of attention. He even brought her flowers!! The shoot expanded to different spots across the island to different shots and views that we didn't even know we're possible, which all look AMAZING!! He is not simply the best photographer on the Vineyard, the best we've worked with EVER! Max's work is exquisite!! His attitude and flexibility make him the best creative professional to work with! He takes your vision and expands on it with unique ideas and uses his knowledge of the island to pick the best spots to shoot considering what you're looking for. He doesn't try to make you do what HE wants, he makes what YOU want look 100X better than you even thought possible!! I've hired photographers for family occasions, professional shoots for my business, and corporate events and I have payed ALOT MORE for ALOOOOT LESS!! He does not try to gauge you on pricing and is fair and fun to do business with. He is totally worth flying around the world to any occasion I go to that's worthy of a photo!! Bottom line... you will NOT regret hiring Max!! PERIOD!! Do it!! Stop reading this review and call him, SERIOUSLY!

There was not one moment our entire wedding day that these two were not on their feet, snapping away. Every time we look back at our album, we feel like we are right back on Nantucket at our wedding.

Very laid back and confidence-inspiring. She helped us visualize our wedding in a different way that was even really helpful for planning, and she walked us through different options for when and how to take photos with guests (receiving line, candid, a private space, etc.) and the schedule of the day from a photographer's perspective. She asked for a list of all the people we wanted formal shots with in advance and had a grip on who was who, to make sure she got everyone. She was very communicative and even checked in the week of the wedding to make sure nothing had changed in the schedule or guest list and walk through the logistics one last time. It all made it very easy the day of, and you can tell in our photos! We got a sneak peek of 5 photos just a few days later and they are incredible. Couldn't have asked for better! They are artistic and creative while not detracting from us as the couple and she got some very insightful shots of us. Thanks, Randi!

We used Randi Baird as our wedding photographer and it was unfortunately a big disappointment to…read moreus. The result was sloppy pictures and prints. Randi forgot to take photos of our family members, she was not detail oriented and was not professional. It took six months to get our Thank You Cards. The quality of these were poor and the cards had to be re-printed four times. Randi did not listen and did not pay attention to how we wanted things. In addition, the expensive ($1,500) Wedding Book that we ordered was a mess. Randi did not spend any time putting the book together but wanted us to do the work ourselves. Most of the pictures were "redish" in color and did not go well together. We would not recommend Randi Baird to anyone and are highly disappointed with her work and way to work. DO NOT BOTHER with this "photographer"!

We scheduled a session with Sarah, the owner, when our son was just a few weeks old. Of course, during the session, the baby wanted to eat again and our toddler wanted to run around. It was chaos but Sarah didn't flinch and got some beautiful photos. Our recent photo shoot was a family shoot on the beach. It was amazing! We got some great posed shots, but Sarah lives up to her calling as a photographer of life. She caputred the kids playing, enjoying the ocean and really stamped the moments in time. She is patient, loves working with kids and goes the extra mile to be sure the photos are amazing! Her rates are reasonable and her talent is amazing!

The shoot felt really rushed and Ivan never gave us any direction on how to pose to get better shots. I was hopeful that he was getting good photos without posing us and withheld judgement until we got the photos back from him. He sent me around 70 photos from the shoot, which were supposed to be the best shots after he had gone through and retouched them. The photos were all horrible, in more than a dozen my son was crying, several had one of the three of us looking away from the camera, and in a whole series of them my shirt was more than halfway unbuttoned, something Ivan never mentioned to me as he took us between locations to shoot, so none of those pictures he was taking at those locations along the beach would have been usable to begin with. and these were supposed to be the photos he hand selected and retouched! When I told Ivan that we were seriously displeased with the photos he told me he'd usually give a refund for a photoshoot that didn't work out, but not in our case because he thought that a lot of the photos were great.
