Her 75th birthday…read morewas on 12/29 and since I was actually conceived on my parents wedding night, I've always felt a little guilty that they never enjoyed at least a year of marital bliss, sans kids...Then, 9 months later, a pudgy 8.5 pound bowling ball burst on the scene. Luckily, the pudge factor disappeared....around age 4. A Floral Affair was recommended to me by the GM of one of my FAVORITE Hilton Head restaurants, Steamers Seafood. Erika had hired them to do her wedding. I phoned this order into the store and they were so accommodating. They asked what style I wanted. I am sure they get these "creative" types a lot. My response was, " lots of color, tasteful, NO CARNATIONS." Semi-vague but they got it and my mom actually cried when she received them. She showed all her neighbors and I knew my "frivolous" spend was money well spent. When it comes to moms, I have the best. When mom sent me the picture of her arrangement, it was bursting with color and design. I was so pleased. A Floral Affair is wonderful and I look forward to using them again. My cost was dictated by how much I wanted to spend; so I really think it is moderately priced for what was delivered.

Anything BUT Zen. Joy had both my husband and myself fooled…read more Leading up to the wedding she was fabulous. The most important thing to us was not being stressed and having our dream wedding. We didn't want to have to think about anything or lift a finger day of. My wedding was anything but a fairy tale. Aside from a lot of personal things happening that weekend ie: both my father and his grandmother almost dying, our apartment flooding and our washing machine breaking. Joy has a HUGE apart in why our wedding was a disappointment. I don't appreciate being blamed for not "hiring professionals " ( and that is why our wedding was a disaster ) when in fact she is a professional and we hire two people of her choosing to help with set up, break down and taking care of our fur baby. Aside from our drunk dj who also has a HUGE factor as to why our wedding was also ruined but he was a 4.9 star dj. She blamed US for why everything went wrong. She blamed my photographer for why things went wrong. She took zero responsibility and showed zero remorse and did not apologize for her behalf of why things went wrong. Saturday October 30th was our rehearsal. We showed up an HOUR before start time which was 530 we asked people to show up at 5 so there were not stragglers and we could start on time. She BLAMED US for why SHE didn't hand out the time line the night before. Almost all of our bridal party were on time so from 5-530 she could have handed out the time line. But she blamed us because once our trolley came to pick us up at 6:45 we needed to head out and that she was trying to find out information about where we were suppose to go in the morning and that the rehearsal didn't run the way it was suppose to. We did two run throughs. And yes we did have a friend preform the ceremony but she was also directing how things went. But once again that is OUR FAULT. Also the morning of she could have her or one of her helpers drop off the timeline ( because all of us were clueless ) We had a 6pm wedding and our hair and makeup started at 8 am. Which was confusing. My hair had fallen before the ceremony and SHE blamed my photographer for the time line and she said that's when we needed to get started. Well in fact after following up with my photographer she hasn't even talked to her until two weeks before the wedding. I have emails where she said we needed to start at 8 am and we asked her a couple of times why so early **** a month before she talked to the photographer *** and she said because we needed to be done by 2 for photos. I didn't think that we needed to micromanage my COORDINATOR because a handful of things that what went wrong with the DJ was the time line. And she did have a copy of everything because she was CCed onto the email about speeches and whatnot. Because all of the speeches were gone AFTER dinner. My favorite thing that went wrong was that we talked about having the wedding live streamed because a lot of people couldn't travel. But especially last minute my dad ended up in the hospital. Even though we had all of this set up IN ADVANCE 5 minutes I was about to walk down the aisle I had to ask her " don't you need my phone for the live stream?" Joy:" someone told me we weren't doing that because your dad wasn't doing well" ... EXCUSE me ? Neither me or my husband never said that NOR did we want that especially because of all the people who weren't able to come. And she wouldn't tell us who " told her that" nor did she double check with her PAYING clients. And her thing was " well we got it figured out in the end and the live stream went on" and the ONLY reason it happened because I has to REMIND her about everything before I walked down the aisle. Also, despite talking about decorations in detail. The pumpkins that were suppose to be lining that aisle were not there. The boutonnières never made it on the guys. Nor did my ring bearer have the carriage I made. Joy had a detailed packing list. Along with pictures of everything. All of the boxes were Labeled. Her excuse was " everything was so pretty and we didn't know " so you're telling me that my pictures and detailed packing list and labeled boxes weren't enough? She then said that we'll there were only enough pumpkins for the tables to which I told her yes and they were suppose to go down the aisle. I am sick of people saying no one noticed. I NOTICED. I look at the video of me on my wedding day and I am sickened because you see the annoyance on my face especially when I realize everything missing in the ceremony. Not only did I have a lot of personal stress but the people I paid 100s of dollars for and talked in detail with about how I want the venue to be set up was NOT how we discussed for 3 years ** yes 3 years ** I'm not sure why we hired the extra people to help her when she ended up having our guest help pack things up and bring them out to the uhaul afterwards. Also the guy who watched and took care of our dog left the poop bags on his leash when he wal

We could not be more fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with Esther for our wedding!…read moreEsther shot one of our groomsmen's weddings in Savannah in 2021 and we loved her work so much we HAD TO HAVE HER. Fast forward to 2023 and she flew out to CA (twice!) for our engagement shoot and wedding and words cannot express how amazing it was both times to work with her. Not only is Esther insanely talented, but she's also the kindest, funniest soul and served as both photographer, pseudo-bridesmaid, and therapist on and AFTER our wedding. And while we wanted our wedding to go perfectly, one of the greatest things about Esther was how flexible she was and how she moved with the punches: From our planner needing to change the schedule completely, to breaking her foot the morning of our wedding (!!), Esther never once blinked an eye and even at the literal cost of her own health and wellbeing, stayed until our wedding ended. We love you Esther and would get married all over again, just to have you there!!

This review is for Esther's "customer Service" purely. I did not work with her for the following…read morereasons: I found Esthers Griffins website and loved the photographs she displayed of her work, I reached out and gave her an detailed breakdown of what we were looking for, as well as the amount of time and locations that we wanted the photographs taken. She agreed and immediately sent me an invoice that I had to pay in order to schedule with her. I do not live in Savannah, and I have no idea what this woman is all about... So her immediate request for an upfront payment via email was a little out of the blue. I've heard a lot of horror stories with people paying upfront and losing all their money. Understandably I wanted to be careful and cautious. ( for all I know this could have been a fake website, with fake pictures and reviews .. Especially since there were no reviews on yelp). After her request I made an effort to call her over two days, I must've called a dozen times. No one answered the phone. And conveniently her voice mailbox was full. At some point my phone calls were going directly to the voice mailbox. So not only can I not leave Esther a message but I also couldn't get in touch with her to ask any questions about her work. (nor did I receive a call back)... This was a huge red flag. So I emailed - I asked Esther if we can pay partially now and when we meet her we can pay the remainder, she expressed an extreme attitude. I'm not sure where our conversation may have been unclear, but I did not say I wasn't willing to pay her in full as she requested. I was only asking if she would consider a retainer as most photographers do. I made an effort to reach out to her via phone and email to simply ask a few questions regarding her process of working with customers so I would feel more comfortable working with her and she disregarded that effort. As someone who is in the creative industry I would never treat a potential customer like this, nor would I work with someone who I have never met, let alone never been able to speak to on the phone. How could Esther expect customers to pay her in full if they can't even get in touch with her over the phone. ( or don't bothered to call you back regardless of providing your phone number in every email). Esther has made this interaction incredibly unpleasant and unprofessional and in all honestly it is very upsetting that she treats people like this. I still don't know if Esther is a real photographer with a legitimate business, I never spoke to her, and she never bothered to return my calls. The only thing she was very fast about doing is sending me an invoice. A lot of red flags popped up after that. And her response to shoo me away immediately were extremely unprofessional. Perhaps at the time she didn't care to accept another job? - but I would say if you are like me, and want to be sure that you're not sending your money to a fake account, and don't want to be scammed, I will be very careful going forward with this "photographer". These days it's very easy to fabricate an entire career on the Internet, so if you're being asked to send money and then meet them in the park and yet they never speak to you I would avoid them at all costs. And if this does happen to be a legitimate business, then I highly suggest learning how to speak with potential customers, and try to work with them especially when they are kindly asking you standard business questions in an effort to get to know you. After all - liking your personal photographer is very important, but how would you know if they don't bother to speak with you.
