    It's been a year and half since our wedding and I'm still not sure how to describe how incredible Penny & Earl are. - Weddings are stressful; I'm sure you're already stressed and you're just at the beginning stages of planning. If you want a team that is going to be ORGANIZED, DETAIL ORIENTED, and COMMUNICATE with you every step of the way... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - It's easy to get snowballed by the all of the day of events going on, even with the best planning, somethings will go wrong and you might have start to miss the point that; Hey! It's your wedding day! If you want a team that are going to be reassuring, fun, and remind you to take a breath and enjoy the day... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. (Side Story: the morning of my wedding I noticed the cleaners had stained a "large" section of the top of my dress that the hanger was hiding... when Penny walked in the room she was so reassuring that the stain, that I thought was THE WORST THING TO EVER HAPPEN, was not. She reminded me that this is not what I should focus on, that I will look beautiful no matter what, and that nothing should take away from what today is. After speaking for a brief moment with Penny I realized this stain was much smaller than I originally allowed myself to think and that she was correct; this is not the end of the world. In just that instance Penny unknowingly saved the day). If you want a team that CARES about you and is not just there for a paycheck then... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - You do not want to have a mental checklist running through your head in concerns to your photos.. Trust me, you're going to have a million other details crammed in there you'll forget if you put on deodorant and probably apply it again another 3-6 more times. If you want a team that you can TRUST to have your photo list memorized, prioritized, and captured beautifully then Penny & Earl are perfect for you. - If you've ever been in a wedding party you know how excruciating those group photos can be... the waiting... the wishing you could enjoy the cocktail hour with all the other guests... it's cold, it's hot, you need to pee.... they can be the worst. But I can tell you that even in the 36 degree TEXAS freak weather our group photos were FUN. They went by quickly because of how efficiently Penny & Earl were. I'm not biased even my mom (who is cold in 70 degree weather) said she had so much fun that she didn't realize we had taken so many poses. If you want a team that is going to make the mundane FUN then... Penny & Earl are perfect for you. The photos were beautiful. I mean it.. BEAUTIFUL. I receive compliments on them daily (from social media) and in fact one of my photos is an award winning photo! YEAH.. THEY'RE AWARDING WINNING PHOTOGRAPHERS. I'm not sure how they were able to capture the laughter, tears, and LOVE in a still photo but they did. Looking through my photos I feel like the wedding was just yesterday. Again- I'd like to think that this review does Penny & Earl justice.. but it just doesn't. By far, the BEST decision we ever made was choosing to go with this fantastic team. I'm tearing up now only because I will FOREVER be grateful to Penny & Earl for not just saving the day but capturing it beautifully. Hook 'em Penny! & Earl, hope there is some What-a-burger in your near future!

    We hired Mad Chicken for our wedding in August 2013 in Duluth, Minn. After looking at websites and…read moreportfolios for several photographers in the area, and being very impressed with the photos Jes (the owner and primary photographer) showed on her website and blog -- as well as a strong, half-hour conversation with her -- we decided to go with Mad Chicken. Despite it being the most expensive photographer we looked at, we felt the investment would be well worthwhile. And despite getting married in Duluth, we live in Washington state, and we hoped Mad Chicken would give us a trouble-free experience with amazing photos of our important day. We were wrong. In hindsight, we absolutely wish we had gone with another photographer, both because of the quality of images and the stress that we've had dealing with the company since our wedding. For the most part, our wedding-day photo experience was fine. Our family photos outside the church were taken on a hill with a fairly steep slope, but in a pretty, wooded area. But despite us telling Jes more than a month ahead of time the general area where we wanted our wedding photos taken (and telling her on a timeline sheet provided by her), she seemed completely unsure of where to take the photos. Eventually, they were taken along a brick wall, behind a restaurant in an alley. When we received our photos, we were horribly disappointed -- and not just because they arrived later than the date guaranteed in our contract. First off, there were zero usable photos showing the bride and her mother. Secondly, the wedding party photos, taken in the alleyway, prominently showed neon beer signs, broken-down HVAC systems and bird droppings on the wall. When we voiced our disappointment about these shots, Jes claimed we had changed the location for this shoot late in the process (which is not true -- we never changed the location), and she would always choose a location with good lighting over good scenery. This would have been fine with us, if the photos had been properly edited, so that we didn't have to see a lot of junk in our wedding party photos. Unfortunately, they were not. Most of the photos lacked imagination and creativity. Most of the best shots, in fact, were ones that had been suggested by us before and during the shoot. Despite having two photographers working throughout the day, there were virtually no shots of the bride getting ready at the church. We sent Jes an email expressing our concerns and asking for some more photos to be edited. She responded with an offer of editing five photos, and we followed by asking for at least 20 photos to be edited. After that, we heard nothing back for more than two weeks. Eventually, just to get a response, we had an attorney send her a letter, detailing some of the problems and requesting either some money back or having more photos edited. After getting nothing but silence for weeks, Jes responded the day after our attorney sent the letter offering to edit 20 photos, or to do considerably more if we agreed not to write a review. After agreeing to have 20 photos edited, she further pushed the idea of having more photos edited in exchange for signing a non-disparagement clause. About two weeks after that (now more than six months after the wedding), we received our edited wedding-party photos, which did look nice, though not noticeably better than other friends' wedding-party shots, taken by photographers who charged far less. Had these photos been what we received at first, we wouldn't have been overjoyed, but would have had no issues that required additional months of stress and threats of legal action. We have family members who have used other wedding photographers in Duluth, and we now wish we had used one of them. Many of the other photographers offered the same 'extras' as Mad Chicken (or more), and provided hundreds of high-quality, edited images, but at a much lower price -- and with considerably less stress and aggravation.

    I did a boudoir session at the studio! Jes is so fun, hilarious, and the BEST. She makes you feel…read moreat ease and like a supermodel...plus hair and makeup by the amazing Emily. You are just spoiled rotten for half the day. I am in awe at the results and products purchased. It is worth everything to get to know these two ladies and spend the day in the studio.
