I cannot say enough about Paul. He didn't stop from the moment he arrived at bridal prep until he…read more(literally) sat on the floor after the final song was played. He somehow managed to be everywhere he needed to be all at once; every time I looked he was capturing photos of our friends and families. He managed to take all of our formal photos, along with his assistant Mike, in a limited time frame due to the sunset. AND he provided a sneak peek for us by the time we got back to our hotel. I can't wait to see everything!

The service and quality of Paul's work is beyond superb. There is not one single picture we did not…read morelove. Paul's passion for his work shows through by the suburb quality of his finished product. It is rare to see such enthusiasm. Paul encapsulated our day like we believe no one else would have. He showed exquisite professionalism and was able to work seamlessly with all our vendors and take command when need be. While it wasn't his concern, he guided a very green videographer to ensure that the videographer stayed true to our requests. Even while taking control, he never missed a step or a shot. His ideas and instructions for shots were brilliant and concise, capturing moments both scripted and live with seeming ease and efficiency. During formals he was able to push out a ton in a short time with seeming to lose his cool, despite multiple last-minute requests. My husband is not one for photographs and yet did not get impatient once! During the ceremony and reception, we rarely noticed Paul as he whizzed around capturing some incredible shots. We never had to call him over to get a shot, he seemed to be already right where we needed him. Even when I started crying...he was the only one with a tissue handy! Paul was with me through my bridal prep and was very comfortable to be around. He was both non-intrusive on our moments and intuitive as to when I needed a little help staying on schedule. He gently organized me while being respectful of my attention. He reminded me of a few important things that in the scatter of the day I would have forgotten and been disappointed. Additionally, through the planning process he responded quickly and was the only vendor that I felt I never had to worry about hearing back from. This was critical to our wedding because we planned it from across the country. I only had about 2 meetings face-to-face and each time he accommodated my schedule and unique circumstance. Each meeting we knocked out everything I needed to know and more. Each time I met with him I felt calmer about the whole process and I feel like he was a critical part of my ability to keep my cool. I hope that you are lucky enough to find him. We set a very high bar for our photos and he vaulted over it. On top of everything, he is a reasonable and fair man, helping us to stay within our budget by giving us flexibility in his photography packages. Although it was one of the initial reasons that I met with him; looking back now I wouldn't think twice about paying double (even if I had to skip out of something else to do it!). He got all our photos to us quickly (despite the distance) and he hasn't abandoned us after the wedding either. All there is left to say is...why haven't you hired him yet?

They…read moreuse various different photographers so I can't speak for everyone's work but Matt did a wonderful job capturing our day. I have heard of people having bad experiences with photographers who are either too intense/demanding or too passive when it comes to taking the group shots but I must say Matt was perfectly efficient and politely directive. The videographers were present enough to capture the day fully yet we never felt that there were cameras in our faces. Our video came out so beautiful & looks so professional. A friend even commented that it should be the music video for "Perfect" by Ed Sheeran because of how well done it was. The one hold up we had was picking one of the licensed songs that they had to offer - this isn't a Blueflash concern since I'm glad they are paying for licensed song but the main website they use just didn't have some of the songs we had originally thought of. When I brought this to their attention, they immediately provided a second option for buying our own songs & ultimately newer songs were uploaded to the original website so it all worked out! Britt, who was our main point of contact, was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. I highly recommend using Blueflash to any future brides & grooms out there!!

Ages ranging from 22 months to 80, we were NOT an easy group to work with I assure you. Yet, with Sara's skillful direction, artistic eye, professional expertise, positive attitude, and calm manner, over 100 shots were taken in an hour. Sara created a natural and as stress-free as possible experience for our family. She directed us quickly on posing with her expert eye and overcame the short attention spans of the children. She made us feel comfortable with her good direction and patience to get the best results. Thank you, Sara! We highly recommend Sara Zarrella Photography, an award-winning, nationally published studio. I am grateful that my daughter did the research to find her.

I wanted to eliminate one of the exposures and have the repaired photograph made into a 12" x 12" print. Sebastian was able to remove the double exposure and had to actually recreate parts of the picture where in had been completely obscured by the double exposure. Sebastian's skills and dedication to the task has yielded a historically invaluable one of a kind photo of a Fresnel lens in service in a lighthouse back in 1971. This photo will go on permanent display in the lighthouse for generations of visitors to enjoy.
