I've been so lucky to have Amber take our family pictures. Not only did I receive the best shots…read morefor our Christmas Card but I finally have a beatiful portrait to hang in our home. Amber is great with kids. Any mom would agree it's a challenge to get little kids to all look into the camera at the same time, it takes a true professional to get that natural smile on a shot. I couldn't be more happy with the final product. Amber was patient with us all through the shoot, making the appointment was a breeze. I highly recommend her for your next family photoshoot.

Amber is an amazing photographer and took absolutely stunning photos of our twin baby girls…read more I selected One Big Happy Photo because being as picky as I am, I wanted the best and nothing short of beautiful photos to cherish forever. On top of that, Amber makes the process so easy. She is so down to earth and professional. She will guide you through each step to make sure you have a wonderful session and are 110% happy during and after you get your photos. She was fantastic with our girls! She is gentle, nurturing and just a pro at getting them in poses together and alone. Her studio is awesome- I loved the layout, the cozy couch and all the different photos she had displayed for inspiration and idea suggestions. She even is so thoughtful and has snacks and beverages available just in case we were hungry or thirsty. Of course we were! Lol We look forward to going back to her for family photos and milestone photos of our girls growing up.

I'm very glad I came across them at a bridal show. Big plus with them is they give you all the photos on a disk, which can be a challenge if you are a bride or groom on a budget.

Sherri and Ryan were simply the best! They both were amazing to work with and completely put me, the bridal party, and our guests at ease. My husband cannot get over the photos... his mom is notoriously hard to capture with a natural smile and Ryan and Sherri managed to get countless shots of her looking wonderful! With all of the work that goes into your wedding, do yourself a favor and make sure every special moment and detail is captured in the best possible light (pun intended!) with the fine photographers at PhotoPros Studio in Glastonbury.

If you're looking for someone to take BADASS, breathtaking- photographs then Tonya is your girl…read more We had our engagement pictures & wedding pictures taken by her and we couldn't be happier with how everything came out. She made us feel comfortable, and made sure she captured every single moment and detail from our special day. We highly recommend Tonya and we'll definitely contact her again for future milestones!

Tonya at Par La Mer Photography has been an absolute gem to work with! For personal reasons, we had…read moreto postpone our wedding and then due to COVID-19 we cancelled our wedding. Tonya did an amazing job staying in touch with us to make sure we were still able to take elopement pictures instead of full scale wedding pictures. When I initially reached out to Tonya, we spoke on the phone about how my husband and I met, what I was looking for in pictures, and she spoke about her photography style and it really felt like I was talking to a friend. Even when we took pictures with her, my husband and I thought it was going to be super weird having to pose for someone who is basically staring at us with a camera; our experience with Tonya was the exact opposite!!! She made us feel incredibly comfortable while we were taking pictures and she took a lot of candid pictures in between poses as well. I highly recommend Par La Mer Photography for your photography needs!

Cate was great for our wedding! She understood what my spouse and I were talking about when we told…read moreher about being a queer and polyamorous couple, and that our wedding wasn't going to have a lot of the traditional elements (like a ceremony, first look, first dance, wedding attendants, cake-cutting, etc.) - it was a relief to get to describe what we wanted to a vendor who was part of the community and familiar with different kinds of queerness and relationships. She made sure to ask about who in our party was out, and to what degree, just in case a sticky situation arose. Cate managed to capture both formal portraits and nice-looking outtakes from in-between formal portraits; got photos of all our guests, and took a lot of candid photos from the dance floor without us even realizing she was there until we saw the album afterwards. She captured all of the detail shots that we had asked for, and innovated a couple of her own that were much appreciated. Both of us have terrible memories, and rely heavily on photographs to remember even really important events. Cate understood this and did a great job photographing things so that we would be able to remember them without worrying. We paid for six hours of just Cate working, which included time spent on the formal photographs, and resulted in just over 700 photos processed and sent to us far faster than we had expected! I think it took her a month or two less than her estimated timeline. Her rate isn't cheap, but she was absolutely worth it, and we were happy to have her working for us for the day! She's been enthusiastic the whole way through, great at adjusting on the fly, and stellar about following up with us. (This review is for our wedding a year and a half ago - I just found the draft I'd written in 2023 and realized I never posted it anywhere!)

I found Cate when searching for photographers who can capture candid moments at home and really…read moreloved the intimate, authentic vibes in all of her work. From the moment we reached out to inquire about her availability, Cate has been super responsive and we could tell she was genuinely interested in our story as well as how we wanted to tell that story through photos. The session went as well as I could have imagined - Cate made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera by connecting with us, listening to our wishes and offering so many ways for us to relax, focus on each other and feel pretty. And the final photos! are! gorgeous! The intimate vibe we loved and wanted to capture is there in our photos, but it also feels unique to us and isn't just a replica of Cate's previous work. There isn't a photo in which we faked our smiles - they're all eye-squinting nose-wrinkling happy laughs and giggles and tender moments because we had that much fun during our session. Her edits were beautiful and when I had an additional request, she was very accommodating as well. Now my only regret is that our wedding isn't remotely close to Connecticut so that we could have Cate as our photographer. She's amazing at what she does and if you have a chance to work with her, I'd 100% go for it.

Several…read morevendors responded to my initial request for a quote, but I went with Be The Star Photo Booth for a few reasons. The quality of their photo strips is excellent, and they were able to customize our photo strips to match our wedding invitations exactly! We decided to have a photo booth sort of last minute (2 weeks before our wedding), and we had a specific budget in mind for this. Denise was completely willing to work with us on this so we were able to get what we wanted at a price that worked for us, I really appreciated that! I also love the backdrop options they have, and the one we chose perfectly complimented our photo strips. Denise and her partner were wonderful the night of, they had great energy and were so welcoming to everyone. Our guests absolutely LOVED the photo booth and I'm so glad we decided to go for it!

They refuse to give our money back, and cannot come to the moved date. We would even be willing to accept half the money, but they said no. I just feel that with the devastation of having to move our wedding and not have it as we always dreamed due to Covid, a wedding business should understand and be empathetic. It is sad that during this difficult time, this company refuses to refund any of the money during these unprecedented times. All I asked was for half the money back, how unethical during a pandemic.
