My husband and I were recommended Amanda as our wedding photographer by a mutual friend... and boy…read morewere we impressed with her amazing photography skills and friendly demeanor. Amanda was very detail-oriented from day one on planning how to capture our perfect day. She went above and beyond on the day of and captured beautiful family portraits and emotional candids through out the night. Many of our family members and friends commented on her diligence and attentiveness through out the evening. Thank you Amanda for capturing our special night and we would highly recommend your business to all our friends :)

We had worked with Amanda months earlier for an impromptu anniversary photoshoot, and were…read moreincredibly impressed with how comfortable she made us, and how beautiful and creative the photos we received ended up being. When we were looking for a wedding photographer, she was a natural choice. Because we had already used her, we already had high expectations, but somehow she managed to exceed these. From the time we booked her, Amanda was responsive and enthusiastic. She scheduled a phone call to be sure she knew exactly what we were looking for, and to get a better idea of our wedding vision and guests. Her questions were thoughtful and I thought very thorough. Leading up to the wedding, Amanda sent day-of schedules and plans, and scheduled another phone call to ensure we were on the same page and that she would get the kinds of shots we were aiming for. During the wedding, we continuously got comments about how capable, professional, easy-going, sociable, and amazing Amanda was. She seemed to be everywhere at once, and our guests could see how passionate she was about her work! We received almost 30 sneak peek photos not even 12 hours after she left the wedding. We LOVED all of them. She has an amazing way of making her clients feel comfortable, which shines through in her photography style. We felt as though the photos were uniquely "us" and captured the emotion and happiness of the day. 2 weeks after the wedding, we received the full photo album. The photos for all intents and purposes, are gorgeous. They're properly edited and she uses the natural light to her benefit to capture the best angles- they're absolutely stunning. My new husband and I went through them all together and we honestly can't pick a favourite- they're all beautiful! Amanda has an amazing eye for creativity and shots that are outside the ordinary, but completely eye-catchingly beautiful. She managed to capture every photo we had asked for, and the candids that she got of our guests really capture the atmosphere. I seriously can't say enough positive things about Amanda as a photographer. I never imagined that I would be in love with every wedding photo I received, or that they would bring so much emotion back from the day. We plan on never using any other photographer!

After quite a lot of searching, my DH and I decided to go with BLS as our engagement/wedding…read morephotographer. We felt that their website showcased the types of photographs we were looking for and I had an immediate rapport with Juliette, our photographer. Our package price was $2800, taxes in, the 2015 price because of when we booked. A similar package is going for $3300+taxes now. We had our engagement photos in the summer and we were happy with how they came out. I felt like Juliette could have done a better job at fixing a few minor things I wasn't aware of, like bra straps showing, or posing me in such a way that was flattering. There are a handful of images that are amazing, but there are some that are just so completely unflattering of me, I can't believe she put them in the final set. On the wedding day, the photographers arrived early to shoot the groom and groomsmen in my MIL's room suite. My groom wasn't even remotely ready when they started taking photos and I just felt like they could have gotten some shots of the guys getting ready together, instead of just him by himself. The shots of the groomsmen are great, but they're all incredibly similar. I would have liked to see more variation in the locations, types of shots, etc. When I arrived at the hotel, the photographers had already gotten into my room (how, I don't know) and had taken photos of my wedding dress and shoes without the special hanger I had purchased, which was slightly annoying. The photos of my dress were, frankly, a let down. My dress sparkled like crazy and all the photos are in front of a lit window that shows NONE of my favourite features of the dress. There were a TON of pictures of my shoes and my grooms shoes (???). There were three photographers in the room and they RUSHED us. First off, I'm the bride, everyone can wait! Second of all, I didn't need added stress on MY WEDDING DAY. We had plenty of time to get everything done and they really stressed me out. They did get some good photos but absolutely NONE of me and my mom and she came down specifically to get me in my dress. They also felt kind of intrusive. I had hoped for a few quiet moments with my girls to get ready and yet the room was absolute chaos until we left to get photos done. Not what I had envisioned. Our first look was perfect, but the photographer didn't bother to scout any locations - we did it in a hallway in the hotel. The photos turned out great but primarily because you're focused on our faces. I would have liked to get photos with each bridesmaid individually, but those were never taken. I figured she'd have the vision to do that and she didn't. The best part about the photographers was that I didn't even KNOW they were there during the ceremony and reception. We did get some really good shots of the ceremony but after that, things went downhill. I had asked for formal family photos and I'd say about 80-90% of these photos are unusable because either someone's face is obscured or someone's eyes are closed. I was super disappointed because my dad's family came a long way and we were looking forward to the first family photo in probably 30 years, and they're unusable. The photographers rushed through these unnecessarily - the cocktail hour was going on downstairs, we had plenty of time to get these photos done right. The few things I did specifically ask for, like photos of the decor, were included and looked quite nice. They didn't get a single photo of the head table, which I had done up on purpose, and I was disappointed. The photos of our guests are poor - they used an exposure/setting that put one person in focus and the person beside them out of focus. So I have pictures of my sisters-in-law side-by-side, one where one is in focus and the other is not. They got almost no photos of my choreographed dance with my dad, even though I specifically mentioned it, and all the photos are meh. I felt like they could have done a better job with three photographers to catch more moments of that dance, since it was such a special moment for us. I wanted more formal photos of me and my husband alone - the day was about us and I felt like there were only the photos from earlier in the afternoon, NONE after we were actually married besides our entrance/us at the head table. The best photos of our guests are from the guests themselves, BLS didn't do a great job on guest shots during the reception. Don't even get me started on the 'custom wedding website' we were supposed to get. I ended up having to do it myself because no one would get back to me from BLS. They weren't timely on accepting our etransfer payments either. Overall, I really can't recommend BLS after my experience. I had high expectations and we paid a lot for photos that I feel are underwhelming and we had a very stressful start to my wedding day. Their website is misleading, most of the photos are NOT from the Toronto Team. They took a LONG time to get our photos to us as well.

My boyfriend and I did a session with Marlen in August at the beaches. It was based on a deal I…read morefound on Social Living for $75 package to have an hour at the beaches to do individual, family or couples portraits. It was our first time doing something like t his and before purchasing the coupon I emailed her. She explained the package and worked with our schedule. She suggested times that would be ideal for pictures and sent an email outlining what we should wear and what are some things to expect. On the day of, a Sunday morning at 9 a.m. she came to meet Dave and I at the beaches. The hour went by really quickly but she was great at knowing exactly where to go and what shots to get, so we weren't standing around at each location wasting time. It took her a week to get the pictures to us and it was the longest week of life (only because I'm impatient), but she was great at updating us on the status. I would definitely consider her again when we have an occasion.

As a client, during the photo shoot i felt comfortable and i felt like i can express my thoughts as to how i envision the photos. Throughout the shoot she guided me whenever i needed assistance in posing and i find it helpful that she's very encouraging. As we were finalizing she was very attentive to detail and made sure that i was satisfied on the photos that were taken. In just a few days i was already able to receive the pictures and she definitely surpassed my expectations. I am looking forward to work with her again, if you want quality professional photos i highly recommend working with Sativa Photography.

On the day of the shoot, Danielle did a great job at making everyone in my family feel comfortable.

She is really passionate in getting THAT perfect shot and has a great eye for stylistic and magical frames. =D 5/5 would recommend. Scheduling and Planning (5/5) My first time in contact with Stephanie was in January to plan and schedule our engagement shoot in April. She made the process very easy and was always very positive in our e-mail exchanges. Quite alot of work goes into scheduling and planning a shoot. We decided to do the shoot during the third week of April due to weather and then firmed up the exact date, time, and location closer to March. She was always very responsive to our e-mails and always responded within a few hours, if not, less. In choosing the location, she gave us 13 really good suggestions and we picked our preference from that list. We decided to do the shoot at Scarborough Bluffs during sunset. Photo Shoot Experience (4.5/5) The photo shoot itself was quite an adventure. I haven't experienced that many photo shoots before but was surprised by the quality of equipment that Stephanie had brought with her for our 1.5 hour shoot. She had a travel suitcase with all kinds of lenses and you could tell that she really valued and cherished them. Since it was raining for the past two days it was still a little muddy on our way to the sandy shores. She is one strong women! We shot at five different locations, two along the sand, one in the straw/marsh, and two on the grass/rocks. She made us feel very comfortable very quickly and asked us to tell each other secrets and twirl/dance etc which brought out some ease in us in the shoot. She is the type of person who will do whatever it takes to get that perfect shot, even if it meant the risk of her falling into the puddle of water behind her (which almost happened!). I was lucky enough to remember to bring two pairs of shoes, one pair were flats and the other were heels and my fiance was luckily wearing his casual shoes and not his fancy leather ones otherwise he would have not enjoyed walking in the mud. I'm not sure if this is something that everyone would be aware of but would suggest others bring an extra pair of causal shoes as well for the shoots, just in case. Quality of Photos (5.5/5) Stephanie uploaded and edited our photos is record lightning time. We shot on Thursday and got all the photos on Saturday evening! All the photos were under well lit dreamy lighting and showcased lots of different varieties in frames (landscape, portrait) as well as sizes (from far all the way to upclose). We liked the variety we got to pick from and she always included multiple shots of the same frame in case we wanted to pick ones with different facial expressions (candid versus posey type photos). I was a fan of the more candid photos and she really helped us capture our tender laughter and moments that we cherished with each other as a couple.
