Super important on your wedding day. We had a small ceremony in the forest and she was the perfect choice to photograph it! I completely trust Joleen and know she always does a fabulous job! Weddings are important especially during these crazy Covid times. Joleen was the perfect choice for my daughter's intimate wedding ceremony.

Joleen photographed our engagement shoot and wedding and we are really happy we chose to have her…read morecapture this important time in our lives. We looked at many photographers and talked with a handful over the phone or in person. We ended up picking Joleen since she was someone that we were very comfortable talking with and she had an amazing portfolio. Her prices were really reasonable and fit within our budget. We were really happy that she offers an engagement shoot as part of a package since we knew that getting comfortable with your photographer before your wedding day is so important! Joleen offers a great mix of organization and spontaneity. In the case of our engagement shoot, she was up for lots of climbing up and down San Francisco stairs and helped make us comfortable and confident so she could capture us really well. Her final photos for the engagement shoot were wonderful and we knew that she'd do a great job with our wedding day. We had a number of beautiful images to choose from for our save the date, moving announcement, wedding website, family gifts, and even a custom jigsaw puzzle. In the planning of our wedding day, Joleen was very helpful, realistic, and patient with us as we navigated our timeline. She was professional in providing expectations about how long something will take to photograph. She was responsive when it came to all of our questions and helpful in communicating guidance. On the day of the wedding, Joleen was on time and really helpful and flexible during the getting ready process, first look, and couple photos. At the venue, she did a great job orchestrating our bridal party and family photos. Joleen did a great job operating behind the scenes during the ceremony and cocktail hour. She provided the perfect amount of guidance during photo opportunities (like signing the marriage license or during the cake cutting) and was also flexible with impromptu group photos as well as the weather not being able to provide a sunset shot. Her sneak peek photos of our wedding showed her great eye and she finished our entire wedding album a few weeks ahead of schedule which we really appreciated. She did a wonderful job capturing our ceremony and reception as we enjoyed our big day. We wanted a candid feeling with our photos and Joleen delivered! She did an amazing job.

Dream Killer NO COMMUNICATION…read moreThis woman took pictures of my daughter and her best friend as a memory right after we moved. I waited for weeks for: 1. The bill (we borrowed her mermaid tails and had only paid the deposit) 2. The photos. I never got ANY communication for the balance owed and therefore never paid it. 6 weeks later I contacted her asking for an update on the photos and she said she would send them shortly. 2 weeks later, still NO photos and repeated messages and nonresponse. Finally I posted on Facebook and got a response and she was mad that I had gone that route so she claimed she had already sent the photos without the rest of her payment because she thought for some reason I couldn't pay it. She sent it with a closely cropped image of an email that could have been to anybody and didn't even prove that it had been sent. ALL of our communication had been through Messenger and her email was never sent to me regardless of what her closely cropped message seems to imply. Watch out for this woman she doesn't have your dreams at heart. She is a vindictive liar who only wants to save face when she made a mistake and you tried to figure out how to get it sorted out. BTW I NEVER got my photos.

She was very responsive and was willing to schedule a photoshoot on short notice. Throughout the session, Karla was friendly, conversational, and helped me feel relaxed in front of the camera. She also helped me select the strongest photos for my dating profile and provided helpful advice that went above and beyond what I expected. Overall, I'm very satisfied with her services and would gladly work with her again the next time I need professional photography.

I have used Lasting Memories Photography for everything from TEAM PHOTOS/ ACTION PHOTOS/ COLLAGES/…read moreBANNERS/ SENIOR PORTRAITS (in studio as well as off site) and to our ALL TIME FAVORITE "THE SANTA EXPERIENCE", with our grand-babies. Let me start by first saying this family run business has always treated us exceptionally well. They have all always gone above and beyond. Their work is AMAZING. Steve has gotten my son who never smiles to actually SMILE in his Senior photos he took. Mind you the original studio through the school he attended photos were HORRIBLE!! On very short notice Steve met us at his studio and did re-takes for us at a very reasonable price. Infact CHEAPER than studio we were told to use through the school. I have used the digital images, as well as prints, purchased for so many different gifts. We have used them for blankets , invitations, ornaments, and on actual footballs!! The Santa Experience is like no other. The set is like something out of a movie. You are greeted in their lobby with coffee or hot cocoa, Christmas music playing as well as on the big screen TV. You enter through HUGE WOODEN DOORS and feel like you've entered THE NORTH POLE. There are different packages and activities for all people and price points. The kids can have Santa read a story, decorate a tree, cookies and milk, or play a game. The list is crazy. The kids names will be on the Nice / Naughty list. Wait until you see this Santa. He is so kind and AUTHENTIC!! It was and is AN EXPERIENCE that I suggest every family should try at least once. I would refer Lasting Memories Photography to anyone looking for professional photos with an extra touch!!

Maya is simply the best. Her coordinating skills are fine tuned and I felt incredibly comfortable with her from the minute we met her 10 months before the wedding. She helped create the perfect wedding for us. She has incredible attention to detail and she handled so many things that I'm sure I am not even aware of everything she did behind the scenes. It was flawless. Kris and her staff at Lunch Lady Catering did an amazing job on the menu (see my review on Lunch Lady Catering). The food was perfect!!! Shonna put together a beautiful display of flowers for us. The floral theme was beautifully elegant for our small wedding. I didn't want to let go of my bouquet!!! I would definitely recommend Belles and Whistles for any event (especially a wedding!!!). They took the stress completely out of planning my wedding and allowed me to enjoy every minute of it, from start to finish!
