When we first met with Thom and Bev they seemed amazing, accommodating and professional. I was…read moreexcited and hired them. Their work was incredible. Our wedding was scheduled for 2020, Covid happened and we post pond the wedding. They seemed accommodating and had our new date available. We meet with them for our engagement pictures and it went downhill from that point. Our pictures were horrible; they were unorganized and arguing with each other making it very uncomfortable. We decided it was too close to the wedding and to keep them as we had already paid them the full amount and we would lose our money. I meet with Bev to discuss my plans for the wedding. She argued and disagreed with every idea I had. I did not want a first look with my husband even though it is a "time saver" I wanted that moment down the aisle to be special. She disagreed with me trying to convince me for 15 minutes to change my mind. I politely refused. I then told her it was important I do a first look with my father. She did not like that idea at all. She said it was ridiculous to do a first look with my father and not my soon to be husband. She also did not like the idea I was not doing any wedding traditions like cake cutting flower or garter toss. She said "what are we supposed to take pictures of just dancing for hours" I said yes! I want candid pictures of our guests having fun, talking to each other dancing laughing and having fun. When the wedding day arrived I wanted to be in the moment and enjoy it, Take it all in. Everything was going great until Thom showed up. He came in like a whirlwind so much negative energy! The entire wedding staff (Hairdressers and makeup artists, bridal party immediately tensed up and expressed how uncomfortable they were making them feel). Bev didn't even show up the day of my wedding. I had hired two photographers. I was told she was "sick". Later I found out she took another gig (in our initial meeting they said they do not double book). Thom tossed my dress on the makeup artist table. Thank Goodness my bridesmaid and mother saw and rescued my dress immediately and told him to be careful with it. I had to tell Thom to send the other photographer to take pictures of my husband getting ready. They were sitting on the couch talking. We only received a handful of decent pictures! They took horrible side angle pictures. I told them I did not like the side view for pictures and they still took 75% of the pictures that way. I had to keep telling them what to do and who to take pictures of! I was directing family and friends and organizing who was on deck for pictures! They stood around clueless! During our reception I really wanted sunset pictures. They pulled us outside to capture the moment, but Thom had dropped the camera in the parking lot and could not get it to work. While his helper just stood and smoked. After 10 minutes of missing our time to eat I suggested to use the second shooters camera so we could get back inside. We also wanted to take back light pictures with our venue in the background. They set it up so the parking lot was in the background of all our backlight pictures. They then asked if they could leave our reception early as people were only dancing and nothing else was going on. At this point I was aggravated and said fine. We did not get our proofs back until December. Our wedding was in the beginning of September! I had to constantly call to ask what is going on with our albums or prints. Thom was extremely rude! I had tried to contact Bev who was the person I originally had the most contact with. She told me she and Thom were getting divorced and she no longer had anything to do with the company. Thom yelled at me several times stating that we were drunk during our ceremony. That was a complete lie as we didn't drink until the reception. He was the one drunk! He was stumbling dropped his camera several times and was very rude to myself, my husband and our guests. We did not get our albums that we had paid for until the end October 2022! Our wedding was September 2021. I was promised to receive my pictures in a timely manner. When I told him how disappointed I was he began to yell at me saying he's doing it by himself and it has not been a year since our wedding and I was being ridiculous! I think I know when our wedding date was! This was a few of the issues we dealt with, They did a lot more rude and unprofessional things! DO NOT HIRE THEM! RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

He was a little more expensive at 12.84. But he took about 5-6 shots and posed me a bit to get the best shot. He also had the print cut and shaped. AND he provided a little envelope to store the photos. He is professional and very quick for passport photos. In comparison to other shops that are crowded and hot, with no retakes, no help on posing, no print cutting, and no envelope to protect the photos. $8.95 for the other shops. So, if you want a pleasant experience for a couple bucks more. I would try here. I will also be trying him for our Christmas photos.

Now that was the US passport photo. When I needed to get a Canadian passport photo for the same daughter, just the thought of going to the same places got me frustrated as the Canadian have very specific measurement to their Citizenship as well as passport photos. I randomly called John Gaspar photographers. The moment he picked up the phone and started talking to me I knew I found the right place, as he knew exactly the measurement needed for the Canadian photos. My wife went to his store and was amazed by the speed and the professionalism at which Mr. Gaspar took the photo and she loved the outcome and actually blamed me for not finding him sooner having to go through what we have been through with the US passport photo.

I was hoping Breanna would be our new photographer for all family photos but unfortunately I've…read morebeen disappointed! After our shoot and upon choosing our photos, I paid in full and it took 17 days to get my final photos (we discussed a 2 week timeline). I asked her to fix 2/10 photos (I felt like we looked like AI) to which she did not respond. I had to email her twice and text message her. She finally responded 6 days later and said she would fix the photos. 2 weeks have gone by and I still have not received the fixed photos I requested. I've text her thrice and emailed her to which I've had no response. Our photo shoot was June 29 and now it is August 15 and I still haven't received a product to which I'm pleased with that I've already paid for. The photos are over edited and similar looking to AI. However, some positive feedback I will say is her prices are fairly reasonable, she provided the cake for my baby's cake smash photos (and it was delicious), she allowed for outfit changes, and she was able to get some really good shots of my little one despite him not being in the best mood. I get we are all busy but I do feel like I've given Breanna ample time to respond to me to which she hasn't, so now I just hope that she reaches out to resolve the situation.

We could not be happier with our experience with Don & Kathy, who made our Block Island wedding so…read moreeasy, fun, and absolutely beautiful. Don was always prompt and so helpful each time I reached out via email or phone; he provided us with awesome options for our vows, ideas for venues, and was so flexible and accomodating leading up to the wedding. The wedding itself was everything I've ever dreamed of. Kathy was so professional and easy to work with, and her photographs were absolutely gorgeous. Don put us both at ease with his carefree, humorous style, at the same time making the ceremony so meaningful. The photos were fun and captured everything that we wanted and then some, and were ready within days! The artistic rendering of select photos was a really unique touch as well. I am so thankful and happy to have found Don & Kathy, and would highly recommend Weddings with a Heart to anyone. They are the best!

The one star is related to the photography and only because I had to leave a star…read more I preface this review stating that the ceremony itself was fantastic. Don was great. However, his wife. AWFUL. Rude, demanding, rushed. Manic. It seems like they just woke up one day and decided to start charging people to take photos. Out of the over 200 shots his wife took, I may have one or two usable photos. Usable being generous. His wife had absolutely no idea how to use a camera, use light, angle a photo or even make sure everyone's eyes are open. Every photo was washed out. It seems that they tried to filter the photos because they were too over exposed. Instead they came out harsh. It looked as if they were shot through a bad instagram filter. But that wasn't even the worst. His wife demanded that no one else at the site take photos so we couldn't even see if anyone else was able to get a nice photo. The only two good photos that we actually framed came from my sister and her iPhone before his wife screamed that they don't allow other people to take photos. I will add that there were only 5 other people at our wedding so it's not like we were demanding these huge perfect photos. While the ceremony itself was nice, if we had to do it over again (we wish we could), I would most certainly have paid more to get usable photos. I would avoid at all costs.
