What can I say...Hughens Photography was recommended to me, and when I saw what she did with photos…read moreI was absolutely speechless. Her angles and shots are above all the rest I've seen. She has captured different stages in my life and has taken many photos I will cherish for the rest of my life. A couple of things... 1. Although she is high on price, that's a good thing. I've had bad experiences with cheap photographers in the past. Many people today think they are photographers because they own a digital camera. Do research. If someone is cheap, look at how higher priced photographers photos look. Then ask yourself, why they are so inexpensive. Something is up. 2. Within 24-48 hours she will have your proofs ready to look at unless she's swamped. Even then it's still fast. 3. She's an awesome person. Pamela is very talented. If you look through her portfolio you will find that she has an artistic eye with very high quality of photos. She is very professional and has a very fast response time to any questions you may have. She's flexible, and prompt with communications. I HIGHLY recommend her.

My wife passed away a little over a year ago. As I went through photos of our life together, I…read morefound a very special one that I took on our honeymoon in Jamaica. Carrol was holding a lovely hibiscus flower to her cheek, and the look on her face struck me as "I dare you to tell me which one is prettier!" A friend suggested that I have a portrait painted based on that photo. My top priority for the project was to capture that look. I found R Gregory Photography's website; and their sample portraits did capture the subjects' looks, so I commissioned a work. Adelaide Rooney was my artist, and she quickly grasped what I was striving for. We went through several iterations of digital images, especially alternate backgrounds. Then she went to work on the painting. When I saw the finished work, I cried--it was so beautiful....and LIFE-LIKE! I gave Adelaide an old, faded photo taken by an amateur (me), and she gave me a Mona Lisa. Now I have a masterpiece of my own. How can I ever thank you?

She was so creative in the positioning for the photos and I loved the many options in props, colors and back drops. We ordered the Keepsake collection product that came with an album, a wall hanging, 3 mini accordion albums, all the digital photos and mobile app. They came out beautifully. Pictures are moments that live on forever. A huge thanks to Amanda for capturing those moments for us.

I had both my maternity and newborn photos done by Amanda and loved the experience each time!…read more The maternity session made me feel glamorous (during a time I felt like everything but!) and I ended up having so much fun. I'd never had professional photos done before and I am so glad I treated myself. Amanda was incredibly patient with everything from the poses to wardrobe changes. It was amazing watching her work with my little one for the newborn session. She worked through fussiness, stubbornness...even an explosive "accident" and got incredible photos because of it. Capturing these moments was so important to me with my husband deployed during all of this and I am so glad I chose KGP to do it!

I've worked with Amaris on more than one shoot, and she never fails to deliver positive energy and…read morebeautiful results. If it was going to rain on your wedding day, you'd want Amaris as your photographer. Her personality is sunshine and her expertise is impressive. I've seen her roll with the punches by shooting a styled elopement on a beach in winter, and climbing a mountain for a product shoot and portrait session in Arizona summer! Amaris has an artistic, intimate style that comes across whether shooting individuals, couples, or families. I appreciate how she gets to know whatever she's shooting and really works in personal touches. I recommend following her work on Instagram (@amarissachsphoto) and posting her results- they're definitely my favorite and most-liked photos. I redid my blog with my portrait by Amaris as soon as I got my gallery! I love Amaris as a person, and I look forward to working with her again in the future.

Amaris did our dreamy rooftop wedding, and I can't tell you how special, how seen, and how…read moreunderstood we felt. We gave her an hour with just me and my bride before the wedding (highly recommend you give her that much time to chase the light because we had enough flexibility to be creative and get pictures that we'll adore for the rest of our lives). She was also considerate, clear, and a whole lot of fun to have at the wedding. My whole family loved being captured by her; she even got my nephews to smile and sit still (a first). The best thing about Amaris is that she was able to take our vision and expand on it in ways we couldn't have put into words. If you're like me and you tend to feel very uncomfortable in front of cameras, I highly recommend Amaris. She has a way of making the session feel SO relaxed, like you're just talking and hanging out, but at the end of it you get the best photos of your life. I highly recommend booking with her NOW because in a couple of years you're going to be VERY lucky to book her. She'll be in high demand. One of the very best wedding photographers in Hampton Roads! Thank you, Amaris!

I was looking for a photographer that could do it all: take amazingly beautiful candid shots, still…read moreportraits, action portraits, scenic, and whose style leaned slightly more photojournalistic and raw so as to truly capture the personality of our wedding. Shawn Sawyer Photography did all of that and more. She made everyone, bridal party and families on both sides feel comfortable and natural. It was as if we'd known Shawn our whole lives! I found Shawn through an online search, and she came highly recommended by my venue. She was so easy to work with, it still blows my mind. Her sense of humor and personality was a perfect match. My wedding was at the Williamsburg Winery, but I was planning it from afar (St. Louis, MO). Most of my exchanges with Shawn were over the phone, which is sometimes hard to get a gauge. When we met in person, it was a seamless exchange. I would recommend Shawn to anyone and everyone. She is versatile and very accommodating, and tough! She helped keep me on track and was very clear on what information she needed from me and when. Even with a family size of 46+ she kept us in line and took all of the shots I asked for with time to spare. We couldn't be more satisfied with the results and the service. Her photos speak for themselves, and truly captured the spirit of the moment (she made us look amazing too!). I've received countless compliments from friends and family, and couldn't be more happy with her edits, quantity, and variety.
