We've had photographers and selfie stations at past events, but the Spinshot 360 truly took the experience to the next level. Jeannie even customized the videos with our logo, providing excellent branding for our company. She was on time, super easy to work with, and we had a link with all the videos by the end of the event. I've waited weeks before for pics from photographers, so it was so nice to have these videos readily available to share with our customers. I would 100% recommend booking Jeannie and her video booth - your staff, customers, or guests will love it!

When we went in to have our final meeting with Tony he informed us that Mike would be doing our wedding; which made us a little uneasy because had talked up Brandon so much on how well our style would fit. We requested a meeting with Mike. Mike was very polite and professional. He assured us that he could meet all our needs and request. We had a keyboard that we had asked him to hook a speaker up to and then mic our officiant. On the day of our wedding he was setting up as we were taking pictures and finishing up as guests arrived. He didn't have the right hook ups for our keyboard and then his mic was not working at all. Thank goodness we have an amazing family and they brought a new keyboard and the proper hook ups. Mike explained that he had just got the mic back from being worked on and didn't know why it was breaking static noises every time we used it. It was kind of frustrating having this happen at our reception. Our videographers saved the day and let us barrow one of their extra mics. We found it kind of humorous that he would ask my husband and I what we wanted to drink and then he would never bring us anything back. We were told that our DJ would have back up equipment and if they needed anything they would be there in plenty of time to run back and get whatever they need or someone would bring them their supplies. Mike was a great DJ he really did a nice job putting the music together and keeping everyone on the dance floor. I would say all-in-all he did a very nice job. I would recommend this vendor to a friend but warn them to get certain things in writing.

I hired Bandstand for my wedding reception, and I really was disappointed with how the night went…read more Up until the reception itself things went smoothly. They have you fill out a questionnaire with preferences, scheduling, etc. for your event. Then our DJ, Roger, called me the week-of to talk about what vibe and music I was looking for. This gave me a lot of false hope about how the night would go. The introductions and toasts went fine, but I wasn't expecting any hiccups (very simple stuff). We did provide a meal for him, but he took too long eating because when we wanted to start the video he wasn't ready. The biggest issue was the music he played throughout the evening. I had provided a very extensive list of songs and artists I like so he could really get the feel for the types of music I wanted him to play. We even talked about it beforehand. But he was way off for the whole night...at one point I saw two of my bridesmaids at his booth making a list of songs for him to play because no one was dancing and people weren't liking the music. I was pretty annoyed, because I had specifically taken the time to write out the kind of music I wanted. I asked for specific songs also, and I'm pretty sure I didn't hear ANY of them. I asked for a special announcement to surprise my new husband, and again didn't hear that either. I felt like my bridesmaids did his job. I also feel like I wasted precious pre-wedding time making a whole list of songs and artists to play, which wasn't even used. I have given very few one-star reviews, but the DJ was the one major flaw in an otherwise amazing reception experience.

Bandstand Music Omaha: Adds More Stress to Important Events…read more Bandstand Music was hired to provide the music equipment and DJ for our wedding reception. Prior to the event, our interactions with the group were very positive. Bandstand staff met with us several times, was attentive and intelligent about music, and seemed very capable. The night of the reception however, we were shocked at their lack of professionalism. The DJ showed up to the event almost an hour and a half late. Thinking the reception would have no music, the groom was forced to call Bandstand repeatedly as he was preparing to walk down the aisle. When the DJ did arrive he was in dirty, sweat stained clothing that he explained away puzzlingly by saying he had "just come from the farm." After the ceremony ended, as the family was taking a few moments together to take photos, he kept interrupting to ask the newly married bride and groom questions, interrupting a sweet family moment with small details that should have been asked prior to the wedding day (we had been told we would receive a confirmation phone call from Bandstand prior to the event and never did). We had established a reception order and a playlist beforehand with Bandstand, yet the DJ seemed confused about helping the reception move forward, and actually complicated the process of giving toasts and cutting the cake. Throughout the reception, there were long periods where he would disappear, only to be found later by the event planner in the kitchen having a cigarette or eating leftover wedding food. During one of his absences, some wedding guests tried to change the song themselves, but ended up pressing a wrong button and shutting the music off entirely. Rather than coming in to see what the problem was, the DJ remained gone for several minutes and other wedding guests had to climb into the DJ booth to figure out how to get the music back on, which they did. The DJ from Bandstand was the only real source of anxiety for our family in an otherwise flawless night. It is possible that their other DJs would have been better or more professional, but I would not recommend this group to anyone throwing a wedding because of the chance of hiring one of their inexperienced ones. In hindsight, I wish we would have saved the money, simply rented speakers from a rental company, and had a friend in charge of an ipod.

If you need a DJ in eastern Nebraska and you do not use DJ Animale I think you might be doing it…read morewrong! Glenn was fantastic to work with for my son's wedding. He was worth every penny of his fee. He spoke with the couple twice before their event and created a playlist that featured their choices, but mixed to maximize the vibe of the evening. The music did not stop once for three hours and thus the dance floor was not ever empty. In fact, if the dance floor ever started to look even slightly less populated Glenn transitioned to a new song and kept the place hopping. I was surprised how late many of the guests stayed, but they kept saying the music kept them there. On top of the great music, Glenn was a great emcee and coordinator of the bridal party entrance and once the bridal party left played some old classics so us old folks could dance while we cleaned. He was the perfect wedding DJ. I highly recommend DJ Animale for any event.

This workshop is for experienced photographers only and those who want to learn from their style. They are doing their thing all day for those in attendance. It's amazing how I can read some negative reviews that complain they didn't take them by the hand, or tell them to stop stuffing their faces and get to work. It is completely up to the participant to observe and get the most out of their investment. If you're not prepared to sweat and work, then don't bother showing up.

I have run my own photography studio specializing in newborns since Jan 2011, and over the years, I've taken a total of 3 classes with K&T. All three have been excellent, and have helped me tremendously, depending on the stage that I was with my posing and photographic artistry. I would say that it's definitely worth the money if you can afford it and if you're looking to become a better artist. K&T are amazing amazing ARTISTS, and if you LOVE newborn photography, and spending a day in their studio and watching them work is like spending a day painting with Picasso. I've just never experienced anyone like them. Even after all these years, it's so clear that they love what they do, and are not jaded at all by what this industry has become (meaning that newborn photography is now a commodity and there are a ton of other people teaching classes that most likely first learned from THEM just a couple of years ago). They are very honest and open, and I've never had a question go unanswered. You have to approach them as great artists first, and not necessarily an elementary school teacher that will sit you down and teach you your abcs. What they do is so natural to them, that you have to keep your eyes and ears peeled and ask questions like "Why did you put that there, why did you turn the head this way, why did you use that kind of material, what would you do in this case, what do you think about this" etc. They will answer everything and then some. I never understood people that go to these workshops and start socializing with other photographers to the point where they miss the action. Hello! You're not there to chit chat about your kids or eat cookies, otherwise why bother?? I wouldn't go to a workshop taught by someone else simply because I refuse to pay money to someone that first went to K&T to learn (or even worse, learned from someone that learned from someone that went to K&T) and then is "teaching" other people. Why wouldn't you go experience the real deal instead of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy. Here are some tips to get the most out of your workshop: 1. Get some basic newborn sessions under your belt first, even if they are free models. That will help you get the feel for working with a baby and what issues might arise, and then know what questions to ask. 2. Pay very very close attention to their lighting. Lighting is everything, and how they manipulate it, how much light there is in the room, how far away the baby is from the light source, how the baby is positioned in relation to the light and how many shadows there are on their face, it's all super important. 3. Observe their stylistic sense. Watching them coordinate set-ups is probably like watching Coco Chanel dress up in the morning. The way they feel color and texture is one of a kind and can't be taught like a multiplication table. Pay attention. 4. Keep your eyes and ears peeled and ask a ton of questions. 5. And enjoy!!
