You'll want to go with Michael Schacht at 312 Elements. I'm the type that will research a big-ticket purchase for six months to get an idea of the market--and then spend another three months trying to convince myself why I don't need it. I didn't need nine months to be convinced to go with Michael. An initial look through his portfolio and you'll notice that he not only knows how to take a picture, he knows how to make you look good. Visit him in the studio and you'll also notice that it's not just knowing facial expressions, angles, body positioning, spacing, and lighting that creates his elevated works. I already knew Michael was good behind the camera, I was genuinely surprised by how good he is in connecting with clients in the studio. These days we frequently meet each other online before getting together in person. Michael will draw out your best self and capture the parts of your personality that are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Having worked with several photographers at this point I have to say Mike's working style is…read moreunique. I walked into the shoot expecting the standard "stand over there and do this pose" shtick. Instead, Mike spent about the first 10 minutes getting to know me. By understanding who I am, what I wanted to accomplish, he understood what I want to portray through the shoot. The rest of it was a breeze, Mike was able to capture I was envisioning, and help me bring out my best. If you want to end up with a stereotypical headshot, feel free to find your run-of-the-mill portrait photographer. But if you want an unique experience with quality headshots you can use in years to come, Mike's service is well worth the price.

This was my first time hiring a professional photographer, and Alex was just so lovely to work with. He helped with the setup process and made planning so easy and convenient with just a couple of phone calls. During the shoot, he was so friendly and made us feel comfortable and knew the best angles and poses for us. The pictures came out beautifully and we could not have asked for better. On the same day, he made sure to send us a handful of highlight pics. Within just a few days, he sent over the whole gallery! I highly highly recommend him for any proposals/engagement shoots!

He has photographed my family and my aging and adorable parents. He worked with me on a "girlfriend" shoot that included three of my dearest friends - so memorable and such fun! Through my introduction and because of the quality of Chris' work, he also photographed my sisters' wedding. Two kids later, Chris continues to work with my sister and her family! We also worked with Chris on executive portraits for my former employer. I knew when I met Chris that I would know him and work with him FOREVER. He is simply such a gifted artist. He sees beauty in a way that is difficult to articulate verbally. Chris loves what he does and it simply shows in his work - elegant, classic, timeless, gorgeous photographs. I would highly recommend Chris Guillen Photography!

It is not just a photo, it is something so much more due to the fact that you will never be able to make a "second" first impression. Egis has done magic for me.

I could not be more satisfied with his professionalism This was the first headshot that I have had done with someone that specializes in headshots and his guidance and direction was superb. I even had my pup with me and Egis was able to take photos of both of us that turned out amazing as well.

Choosing Ian Rempel as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! He…read moreis super kind, likable, and has been nothing short of amazing since our initial call with him. We were nervous about the photos and felt awkward in front of a camera - I mean, aside from school/work headshots and the occasional bridal party group shots, neither of us had ever really had professional photos taken! That said, Ian did an incredible job making us both feel comfortable and really got us to loosen up for the camera during both our engagement shoot and on our wedding day! And having our photos taken actually ended up being super fun! On the wedding day, Ian was a calming presence and the perfect person to have there with us to capture all the special moments. Throughout the process, he was always responsive and an excellent communicator and our photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined! Our photos are truly amazing and so timeless and we are beyond grateful to Ian to be able to relive our favorite day over and over again through our photos! So, long story short....if he's available, CHOOSE IAN AS YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER!!! - Ben & Nicole

We have received our preview shots and could not be more in love with their work! Talented, reliable, timely, light-hearted, and such a sweet team. In the months leading up to the wedding they were great at communicating with us and making sure all our questions were promptly answered. We felt so comfortable working with them from our very first phone call! Their planning tools were top notch and allowed us to relax and know that everything would run smoothly on our big day. I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you, Rempel Photography! -Amy & Matt

He was a very fast and clear communicator, flexible, and overall extremely easy to work with.

We had great shots of speakers and the audience for the event, along with headshots that the attendees loved. Thank you, Omar!
