We hired Melanie for our April wedding. We made an absolutely great decision there…read more We first met Melanie to do our engagement photos at the Blanton, those obviously turned out stunning, as she was able to get both of us to open up a little bit and get some good shots of us. Highly recommend doing an engagement session first, the chance to work with her twice was so awesome! Emails with her were always responded to in a very timely manner, and she was very helpful with any questions I had, so great to work with. She and her assistant James showed up and were ready to go on time, kept our day running smoothly through all the photos we wanted taken and they got so many shots of things that I didn't even think of! Finishing off the night with a gorgeous nighttime shot! Their personalities shone throughout the day, everyone was talking about how amazing and fun our photographers were.This was the first time that Melanie had worked with James, but you could not tell in the least, the two worked so well together and then the way they worked with the guests...I can't compliment them enough! As for the final product, it was beyond compare. Somehow she made it seem like when I scroll through the pictures of the day that I am just walking through memories of that day. It's so amazing, I truly am unable to pick my favorite pictures from the day, because they're all beautiful. I'm so glad that we hired her for our day, she made it truly great the day of and then the gift that keeps on giving, the memories she gave me are a true treasure. Hire Melanie anytime you want something important photographed, or you know just because you need pictures and want someone amazing to do it!

TEN GLITTERY STARS!…read more She-N-He are great. We found them at a "wedding extravaganza" convention in 2009. Most of the photography booths were hard to tell apart, and it seemed like theirs was the only one with a definite /style/. I didn't interact with "he" much, but "she" was awesome. Melanie and a helper photographed our wedding. They were friendly, relaxed, and totally flexible - there was no rigid list of shots to get, and they did some fun stuff working with the location. If you hire them, your wedding photos will look like a dream sequence in a slick modern magazine. That's probably because she's also a magazine photographer... http://www.melaniegrizzel.com/Grizzel_Portfolio.html Of the things that my husband and I paid for, the photography was a big ticket item. Before we started shopping for anything, we made a priority list (food, clothes, photo, venue, etc) and decided that even if everything went wrong, if it rained, and the cake fell over, and my dress was torn, and our friends had a brawl by the keg, it would all be okay if we had amazing photos. Because memories are strong, but photos can repaint your memories in better light. Luckily the day was perfect, but the gorgeous pictures help me remember it even more fondly :)

The minute we met Cassie we knew we were making the right decision. She was easy to talk to and…read moregreat to work with every step of the way. After looking at her work online and reading reviews, we expected great photos. We got our pictures today and they are unbelievably amazing! I could have never anticipated loving pictures this much! As cheesy as it sounds, it's like looking at a fairy-tale, except it's us, our friends and family. I can't stop looking at them! I think this quote from my mom sums up Cassie really well too. "She was everywhere and got everything, but I hardly noticed her being there". My big fear with hiring someone was an overly staged, no fun, guest herding, interruption filled day. Cassie captured the story of our day beautifully and completely without interrupting the moments of the day. She even got those family photos mom wanted.

Update: Our wedding photos are back and they are gorgeous. Cassie was so professional and…read morewonderful to work with. Also, at the wedding, she and the second shooter were so comfortable interacting with guests (which is important!). Every cent we spent on our photography was worth it.

Luckily we found Rebeka Perales! She is so down to earth and has been doing photography from such a young age. All her photos are very natural and we couldn't be happier with how she told the story of the night. Every photo looks very professional. She was also hand picked out of 400 people and only 40 spots to join a workshop with Maria Williams, so we were very lucky to get her on such notice. I cant recommend her enough for professional headshot photos, maternity shoots, events etc. We are planning to use her again for our event in April and couldn't be happier! I know she will go very far and am so happy to know her! Please reach out to her on her Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/photo.rebeka/

We had a great experience with Bromwyn and Inspired Images! My wife met Bromwyn at a convention…read morehere in Austin, having looked over a number of samples from wedding photographers and choosing her portfolio as her favorite. Our engagement shoot was a great experience. Bromwyn was able to set up some great shots in downtown Austin, and was even willing to visit a second location on the opposite side of town for another set of photos. It was almost hard to tell who was more excited the day of the shoot, us or Bromwyn. It's clear that she is not only passionate about her photography, but also deeply enjoys telling the story of others. The day of the wedding Bromwyn and the second photographer she brought with her were very professional and helped guide us through each shot, while also working in our special requests and helping us stick to our timeline. They did a great job of guiding our family and friends through our larger group shots after the ceremony, and took some cool action shots of us dancing with our friends at the reception. It was our special day, and Bromwyn did a fantastic job of capturing all the important moments. We highly recommend Inspired Images to any couple, and know that you will really appreciate working with a team that takes joy in sharing the story of your Big Day !

I was in the process of planning my wedding and I didn't want to go with a novice photographer. Bromwyn was exactly what I was looking for! The extravaganza can be overwhelming with so many vendors to choose from, but I can tell you that Bromwyn was one of the best priced/seasoned photographer there! All of the pictures were vibrant and perfectly captured our magical wedding day! I would highly recommend you reach out to her for your next wedding our event!

We received our photos only days after each event and we absolutely love them all! She is so experienced as a wedding photographer that she made the photos run as smoothly and painless as possible, especially the family photos! Actually, she really help make the whole day run smoothly! She was like our second wedding coordinator and our third mom! She helped apply my veil and made an impromptu bustle when mine broke! I don't love being in front of the camera but she always made me feel so confident and comfortable. The photos look beautiful, natural, and effortless. The day would not have been the same without her and now we will remember it forever with her photographs. We highly recommend her and would work with her in the future for any other photographer needs! Thank you so much, April Mae.

We found it so easy to relax around her, which shows in the photos. She gives easy-to-follow instructions that make the photos look great without feeling overly posed or unnatural. We had great vendors for our wedding, but April was by our favorite by far! When booking with her, she shared multiple galleries with me so I could see the flow of a whole day and get a sense for her style. She was also a preferred vendor for our venue, so she was able to even help us decide on a wedding date based on past weddings she'd photographed there (and when the greenery was most lush without being too hot). She was very flexible about rescheduling our engagement session when I had a ring disaster that required repairs. We were able to do two locations for the shoot that allowed us to get a more park-like feel with our pups and some downtown vibes, too. April is organized, well collected and a source of calm on an otherwise hectic day. Really led the flow of the day (despite having a planner), and I am SO grateful we had her as our photographer. She is also very competitively priced for the level of service she provides. Besides her absolutely amazing work, another thing that stood out was that she did not have an hour limit of on her time with us on our wedding day. It was nice knowing she would be there for everything we wanted captured. We were also SO impressed with how quickly we got our photos for both engagement and wedding galleries. We received 600+ of our photos within 48 hours of our wedding and got a several hundred more within a few weeks! It was so wonderful getting to see them so soon after and made me even more grateful we went with her after hearing horror stories of other couples not getting photos back for 4+ months. She is a master at her craft, and the proof is in the photos! We will cherish our gorgeous engagement and wedding photos every day for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much April! I will never stop singing your praises for anyone who will listen!!!

There was even a moment when she took off her scarf and laid it on the steps of SF City Hall for my husband and I to sit on. WOW. This elopement session was my second shoot with Karen, with business headshots as my first. During both, she expertly led and posed me around with grace and patience and pulled me and others out of their shells with LOTS of laughs.
