You know what they say about weddings, "When everything is said and done, all you have left are…read moreyour photos and video." The number one best decision we made regarding our wedding, was to hire Heidi as our wedding photographer! She's a seasoned professional with an eye for detail. She captures everything. Heidi will grab you when the light is perfect to get the best shot and will tell you when something's not working. This photographer is extremely patient and goes above and beyond to make sure your photos are breathtaking. She communicates well through out the process and makes you feel like more of a friend than just a client. My family, Husband, and I are so pleased with our photos.

I wanted engagement portraits as well as a 2nd shooter for our wedding and she made it happen, no problem! Heidi is so wonderful to work with, she's easy-going, has a great attitude, and really fades into the background to capture the small and big moments of your day unobtrusively. You don't feel like there's a camera in your face and you can just enjoy your party! We received our CD with images when she promised to deliver it, she was always on time and prepared, and 100% professional. Her prices are very reasonable, and she delivers a quality product with small finishing touches like cute CD sleeves and photo handouts so your guests know where to go to find your wedding photos posted. We loved working with Heidi and you will too!!!

It was October 11, 2013 when I officially ruined Christmas…read more I had been planning since the beginning of the summer to get boudoir photos taken and surprise Hubs for the holidays this year. The problem is that when it comes to surprises, my brain goes into four-year-old-mode and my mouth becomes about the size of Dallas. I. CAN'T. HELP. IT. In the months leading up to photo shoot day, I asked Hubs EVERYDAY (again, think four-year-old-mode) if he wanted to know what his Christmas gift was going to be. Every time, he would firmly reply, "No, I like waiting. I want to be surprised." Well, after much anticipation, shoot day did finally come. I tried my damndest to keep my mouth shut. I made up that I was attending a salon/spa Yelp event...at 8am on a Saturday...carrying a big duffel bag...so that was why I was going to come back with my hair and make up done. I know, SUPER fishy. I'm a terrible liar. But that kid is so trusting and all he said was, "Have fun!" My experience with the ladies of deBoudoir Austin was awesome from the moment that I stepped into the studio until the moment that I left after choosing photos. Rachel Leigh was so helpful when I was shopping for lingerie, and she skillfully infused my fine, flat hair with the kind of volume that any southern lady would be envious of. When I was all ready, Alina took over the reins, and I can honestly say that I have not met a more talented photographer. Photography is an art- some people have the gift to do it well and some people don't. I'm pretty sure this lady could even make my dog (no offense, Lilly) look like she belongs in Playboy. The last person who I worked with was the manager, Rachel. She was incredibly down to earth and easy going, and her input was very valuable when it came down to going through the 130+ beautiful photos and choosing my favorites. So this journey began with four year old Ann, and trust me, it ends with four year old Ann as well. After I finally chose the photos that I didn't want to live without, I left the studio- giddy as shit- to meet Hubs for dinner. I WAS going to at least make myself wait to print the photos and put them in an album or scrapbook before I presented them to him, but...umm...yeah, that didn't happen. I consulted with my staff (i.e., me, myself, and a 750 mL bottle of beer) and made the executive decision to pull up the photos online (you have full rights to the photos that you purchase) and show him that night. He was speechless. "Best present you've ever received?" "Um. Yes. By FAR." Fast forward a day later, and I'm now having the photos developed and will start physically putting together the gift today. I'm probably going to end up handing that over early too. Big surprise, huh? So it isn't even Halloween yet and Hubs has pretty much already gotten his Christmas present for this year. He doesn't seem to mind THAT much though.

I am speechless. These photos are artistic and classic. I had such an enchanting time at deboudoir…read more This is something I will cherish for ever....and so will my husband. From the moment I walked in the doors, all the girls were so excited about each outfit and were there to help me put things together. I was handed a glass of wine and sat in the prep chair for my hair and makeup with Kylie...which turned out FLAWLESS!!! If you have the resources I definitely recommend getting hair and make up. Make up at the very least.....makes your pictures so much bolder. I asked for a bolder natural look and that is exactly what I got...not over done. And lashes helped :) i was made to feel so comfortable during the photo shoot. Everything felt natural and easy (and it was proven when I saw my final product). The studio has so many different angles and Alina knows how to work all of them into your outfit and energy. It was nice to have a one on one with Alina. I debated on bringing my sister or best friend but I truly believe it is best to go by yourself. After all, this is and should be for yourself and you will be less likely to hold back. I cannot express enough how easy going and professional Alina is. She will play music and fill your wine glass (appropriately ;)) to help you feel at home. When I went back to view my photos I was astonished. I had never done anything like this before and I looked like I had been doing it for years. The shots and editing are impeccable and timeless. They are definitely VERY pricey......sort of have to think of it as buying wedding photos, but they are so worth it. Every shot is gorgeous and there was no way I was going to just be able to pick a few. Luckily, they have a payment plan you can do in 4 months or less.....totally worth it. I do not regret it. Side note, I added 30 minutes (extra $$ but I had done the groupon so it wasnt a big deal) and I ended up doing to fine art shoot. This is a totally nude shoot but all in black and white and is the most beautiful art I have ever seen....and its me!!! Literally breath taking. Every woman should do it if they can! They are so soft and artistic and capture the most intimate and beautiful curves. I am not one that is shy about being nude but I was nervous about posing and afraid my face would look awkward (seeing as Im a casual/goofy lady.....not girly or "sexy" if you will). I was almost in tears seeing these photos. Amazing work. I have no problem giving these ladies 5 stars...I wish there were more. My only con is the price of pics......but who cares.......when you see the outcome youll understand. Thank you Kylie, Alina, and Rachel.....such a beautiful job you ladies do. Ive managed to get 5 ladies to sign up just minutes after my shoot ;)

Austin shot our wedding on 7/14/18 and he was just the best to work with! He was super fun and…read morepersonable to work with. He knew how to keep us smiling and laughing which I'm sure made for some much more natural smiling from everyone. Even our guests loved him! He knew all the important posed shots to get, and moved through taking them quickly and painlessly so we could get to the reception and start having fun as soon as possible! Even when we took a little pause from the reception to grab some sunset shots of just the two of us, he was ready with a handful of fun poses to capture what I'm sure will be some amazing shots! Again, he got us through these shots quickly so we could get back in and enjoy our reception. We would highly recommend Austin for any of your photography needs and I hope that we can use him again for something in the future. Thank you, Austin!

Austin was an experienced photographer also, he came well prepared and really knew his stuffs, even my 2-year-old toddler was totally engaged and had fun. The photos came out exactly what we expected and some were even better, and his rates are very reasonable compared to the photographers nearby. I nightly recommend him if you are looking for an excellent photographer in Austin.

Working with Amanda Blue Events was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I am…read morecompletely obsessed with how our day turned out, and so much of that is because of Amanda and her incredible team. From the very beginning, Amanda was thoughtful, organized, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our wedding everything we hoped it would be. In the days leading up to the wedding, she communicated seamlessly with our vendors, stayed on top of every detail, and made us feel completely calm and taken care of. She even helped coordinate an extra hour of dancing, which ended up being one of the highlights of the entire night! On the wedding day, everything ran beautifully. Amanda and her team handled every moving piece behind the scenes, kept the timeline on track, and made sure nothing fell through the cracks. Because of them, we were able to be fully present, soak in every moment, and enjoy the day without worrying about a single detail. Our wedding exceeded our wildest expectations, and I truly would not have chosen any other support team to have behind us. Amanda brought our vision to life in a way that felt effortless, joyful, and completely us. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend Amanda Blue Events highly enough. I honestly cannot imagine our wedding day without her!

On the day of the wedding, she guided me seamlessly--letting me know where to be, what was happening next, and handling every detail with such calm professionalism.

I truly felt no stress and was able to enjoy every moment of our day. If you are even considering a wedding planner, do it--it is absolutely worth it. Alexa made our wedding day feel effortless, and I couldn't recommend her more highly!

I'm updating my review in response to the reviews posted after mine. I am not someone who posts…read morenegative reviews lightly, and I desperately tried to provide a balanced review of my experience with Maria. In the review, I tried to explain the circumstances surrounding my experience. The lack of communication continued for a period of over four months, not merely a few weeks time. But I also hope that it was clear that I thoroughly enjoyed my photo session with her, and I think the end-product satisfied my expectations. Review sites like this provide a snap-shot of people's experiences over time so that consumers can make educated decisions about their purchases. In so doing, they can balance the excellent reviews against those which may be more critical. I in no way mean to tarnish Maria's reputation, she is an excellent photographer. But I hope that by providing honest feedback, she can tailor her future services and future customers can have all of the facts in front of them when they choose to use her services.

If zero stars were available, I would give her zero. First, I am retired on social security. My…read moredaughter gave us a gift certificate for photographs which we've wanted for years. Because of our illnesses and Ms. Wendt's pregnancy during which she refused to do business, we were unable to use the certificate within Ms. Wendt's arbitrary one year expiration, which we were unaware of. The certificate included a 40 minute session, 15 digital images, online gallery and print release. Nothing on the certificate (copies on request) indicated a one year expiration. I went to her website, filled out a form and asked for an appointment: no response. I phoned her office and left a message, no response. I called again 2 weeks later and Ms. Wendt refused to schedule our photos or return our money. Ms. Wendt will no doubt reply below how she tried and tried to contact us, etc. etc. etc. You can accept her excuses or accept my story above and agree not to do business with someone who stiffs seniors.

Don't get me wrong, Kelly is a good photographer, but if you want a photographer that communicates…read morewell and gets back with you in a decent timeframe, I would not advise calling to book. Kelly's customer service is not up to standard. I feel that has changed over the course of years (we were clients for years). Most recent, we had to reschedule our session due to the rain on 10/22/15 When she emailed the day before (about the weather and the possibility of rain and cancellation). The shoot was scheduled in the evening so mid day when the clouds opened up and the rain stopped falling and the sun came out, I emailed Kelly around 1pm 10/22 asking what the plan was. Silence. I emailed again asking if we were still on. Still no reply. An hour before the shoot, I had to just email and assume that the shoot was not on. I have three year old twins and an 8 month old so it was very stressful. Then, due to all the flooding of late, our next reschedule date of 11/2 had to be cancelled as well. Since we did not have a contract, and we had intentions of booking in a few months... we thought it best to just call off the photo shoot (who knows when the sopping mess would clear up and dry and we are still (as I write) getting rainfall daily). With very little children, you think a photographer (or anyone for that matter) would understand. No, not at all! Kelly stated that she would not refund us the whole amount we had paid for (with this particular photo shoot), as if the flooding and rain were all our fault? She even tried to say we paid less than what we actually paid and I had to go in my email to 'remind' her that we indeed paid more. She stated that because we prepaid for her 'special' back in February, that she would not refund our entire payment. So she was penalizing us for prepaying? Further, she had her own Wedding in May/June AND we prepaid for ANOTHER bluebonnet photo shoot so we all agreed the Fall would be best for this photo shoot I am reviewing on. Kelly was extremely rude with her texts and not understanding at all, then later said that maybe her moodiness is to blame due to her pregnancy. Finding out she was pregnant right then and there explained a lot, as I sensed she was going through something in her life. But wow, don't take your anger out on long time clients who have raved about you with glowing reviews on social media, yelp, and google! She also threw in our face that it's all about money. No, actually, it is about principle. And if it were all about money, we would have demanded for a refund from our last bluebonnet photo session (done was right before her own personal wedding) as the photos did not even look print worthy so we actually printed none. I am 100% sure she knew what she was sending us but didn't really care due to her haste and upcoming Wedding. Maybe it was best she not book many, many sessions right before her Wedding if it meant the end result was bad images. But no, we didn't even say anything about that session because we didn't want to hurt her feelings. All these things that transpired is why I am editing my once glowing review on Kelly. If she would have apologized I may have just left it and walked away but she needs to work on her poor communication 'skills' and even poorer client relationship mentality/etiquette (or lack thereof). Oh, and she did finally refund our amount as I am sure deep down she knew it was only fair. What a headache. Completely unnecessary.

I was living in California at the time I was planning my Austin wedding, so I wasn't sure where to…read moreeven begin my search for a great wedding photographer. One of the wedding planning books I read suggested looking for photographers on ppa.com (Professional Photographer's of America), and that's how I came across Austin Imagery's website. I liked what I saw there, but for such an important occasion, I wanted to make sure I did my due diligence before making a final decision, and boy did I! Here is the breakdown of my evaluation: 1. Photography Style: Following the advice of a friend (who wasn't very satisfied with her wedding photos), I asked to see 3 full albums to get a good sense of their photography style. I'm not into special tinting or "artistic" angles. My goal was to be able to look at my wedding album years from now and feel like the photos were timeless. Chris & Yvonne deliver a beautiful, classic style! They captured gorgeous images of the decor, and more importantly, my friends and family members all looked fantastic! 2. Rapport: Following the advice of another friend, I also had my sister (who is local to Austin) and her family meet Chris & Yvonne. It was important to me that my family get along well with both of them, because I think people's moods really show through in photographs. Needless to say, everyone got along great. I can't stress enough how fantastic Chris & Yvonne are to work with. Even my tough-to-please mother loved them both! 3. Customer Service: Chris & Yvonne were always very prompt with their responses and very accommodating throughout. When things got really hectic with my schedule in those last few weeks before the wedding, they were also proactive in reaching out to make sure all of the final details were set. They were also very timely with the delivery of the photos, which were available online well within the estimated time frame they had provided me. I truly cannot imagine having a better experience with wedding photographers and would recommend them to anyone! Research them yourselves. I doubt you'll be disappointed!
