I felt like she took the time to get to really know me besides the questionnaire that she wants initially through email. I was nervous at first, but with her guiding expertise along the way I became relaxed and knew the photos were going to come out beautifully. Jump to picking out the photos: my reaction must have been priceless! I fell in love with all the pictures. I loved seeing the confidence come through the camera lens that Cat managed to pull out through her photography.

The people in the office are very nice and helpful through the process of choosing your professionals for your wedding day, making payments, pre-wedding planning, post-wedding music selections... they were great on everything! We hired 2 wedding photgraphers and a videographer. They arrived at the location for pre-wedding pictures on time (actually they were early). They gave us very good direction during the photo/video session. In the house we were getting ready they even moved stuff around to make sure we would have great pictures. On the phone conversation with Ilze, our main photographer, I explained to her the big problem I have about having my eyes closed in most pictures. She listened and made sure to check that she had good shots with my eyes open. She was also very efficient through formal family and romantic pictures to make sure we could have the pictures done within our short time frame ( a bit over 1 hour). She was very friendly and the pictures turned out amazing!! Tracy, our second photographer, also did an amazing job! She took great shots of the guys before the cerimony. I also loved how well she captured the details of the decoration in the reception venue.. the centerpieces, the guest book, the cake, the gift table... all the details we spend so much time planning but we barely get to enjoy during the wedding and now we can remember them forever through her pictures. Patruck was our videographer, he was also very nice, from the phone conversation till the end of the wedding. We still didn't receive our wedding video, but i am 100% sure it will be amazing just like everything that Mike Staff have done.

We scheduled to meet face to face 3 weeks later since I live in Michigan and I had to make travel plans. In our emails she confirmed with me twice that she had put me in her calendar.

Here's a list of the great things about Alison, since I'm merely restating what others have written and want to do something snazzy to be different! - Alison is the best at communication. From the first email we shared, I have never waited more than a day for a response. Even when she was on her own honeymoon, she managed to send me a "Ack, I am out of town! But, when I get back I will send you the pricing info! " email. That is so helpful to a bride who is planning at all hours of the night (because, honestly, what bride doesn't plan at 2am?) - Alison is organized and thorough. I got all the information about pricing, albums, expectations and requests up front. Our initial meeting with Alison left us feeling completely comfortable in her hands since she was on top of her game. I never had to worry once we decided to utilize her talents! - Alison makes the pre-wedding and day of wedding run so smoothly. She helped me craft a pristine wedding schedule of events and was an expert at keeping us on track during the actual wedding without being bossy or pushy. She arrived on time and ready to shoot and kept the mood light and worry free! She even reminded me to eat (thanks Alison!) so I wouldn't pass out when walking down the aisle. She brought snacks with her, in case I didn't have any. During the day, she blended into the background and I barely even noticed her stealthily snapping shots during the ceremony and dinner. - Alison got my proofs back to me in a month and boy, are they STUNNING! The final product from our day is exactly what we wanted -- relaxed, candid, bright and thoughtful images of the best day of our lives. She caught every detail, every smile, every bouquet of flowers and edited the group down to 550 of the most beautiful pictures. I've just been skipping through them for the 5th time in a day and I am completely in love. Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe what I am about these pictures! I can't wait to pick out the photos I want for our album and work with Alison to create that heirloom piece. I'm sure her album work is as professional, creative and comprehensive as she has been throughout the wedding process. Bottom Line: Choose Alison Bank - First Comes Love Wedding Photography. You will not be disappointed.

Some photographers are all about the staged shots, but we wanted someone to catch the memories as they were happening. We stumbled upon Yana online and immediately fell in love with her photography. Yana was extremely easy to work with beforehand and on the day of our wedding. She made sure we took her to the venues ahead of time so she could plan out lighting and shots. During the ceremony and reception, you hardly knew she was there - she made sure to keep a low profile while still getting into the midst of the action to get close-up shots of everything. Yana has an astounding creative eye and an extreme attention to detail. She took amazing photos of us, our friends and family and other important elements of the day that will help us remember our wedding for a lifetime. I can't tell you how happy we are with our decision to have Yana photograph our wedding. Every time we look at the photos, we can't help but smile. She took our special day and captured it perfectly for us to remember the rest of our lives.

She checked out the wedding venue on more than one occasion to see how lighting would work that day.

I would highly recommend Yana for your event, whether it's a wedding or other event.

I wore many hats there, from daycare attendant to dog bather, but my favorite was working in boarding.

I started my grooming career about 5 years ago, under the apprenticeship of the owner of the shop I worked at. I have also learned from many different co-workers throughout the years as well as videos, classes, and tutorials from groomers online. I can groom all types of dogs and even work with the misfits. I have an extra soft spot for senior dogs too, and take extra measures to ensure their comfort and safety. The types of grooms I excel in are desheds, outline trims and shape ups.
