Really disappointed in this experience. We were vacationing together as an extended family for an…read moreanniversary. Our session had to get rescheduled due to tropical storm Bertha, which is obviously completely acceptable. We were happy we could still fit in the photoshoot, however, the results were not as expected. The entire shoot was - stand here and smile. Lots of just posing. One of the families ended up being the main focus, rather than all of them. The rest of the families had minimal pictures taken and all were standing and smiling. The one family had 40 pictures out of 87! There were 11 of us. We were hoping for real life candid pictures of us. When we got our pictures they were pretty awful. There are some with our eyes closed, hair blowing in our faces, dresses in unflattering positions and the angles of positions were off. I'm really sad that these didn't turn out since the chances of all of us being together again are low. There are tons of photographers in the area so I'd recommend trying someone else.

YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST ON THE GULF COAST!…read more Tammy and Jason are the most personable yet professional photographer duo you will ever find. Given my love of photography, my wife put me in charge of finding the perfect photographer for our wedding. We interviewed A LOT of respectable photographers along the Gulf Coast and reviewed just about everyone's portfolio in detail. I could not have been happier with our decision. Tammy and Jason have this down to a true art. Tammy has a lot of fun with the babies and making them smile while Jason is scanning the group to make sure people are visible and in flattering positions. They do it so seamlessly. Our formal portraits were a blast! They are so engaging and fun for all three events they did for us. You can tell this is not just a job for them, but they live and love this life. Their equipment is also top notch. Between the cameras (and backup cameras), the lighting, and their comm system they will not only take great pictures, but help you and the coordinator to make sure your wedding is PERFECT. Their price is very fair. They are not the cheapest, but they are the best. When your wedding is over and you are sharing stories with your growing family, the photos is what you will have. Honest to goodness some of the photos we got back could be covers to wedding magazines. I can't wait to use them again for our baby pictures when the time comes. You know you picked the right vendor when your friends and family are raving about them months after the event... "Worth every penny!", "Such amazing people." Our wedding was perfect and it was in part due to Jason and Tammy.

God has truly blessed her with a beautiful gift to help others with not just her amazing photography talent, but to also smile and laugh with her bright personality. She is just joyous to be around. I could not have asked for a better photographer to capture these moments and I cannot wait to work with her again for future priceless and cherished moments in life. Get ready to see me next time Megan with a big belly ^-^! We can't thank you enough Megan. We will forever be a customer for life! I highly recommend her!

Her prices are high, her service is shit, only half of the photos were usable and the other half were missing some really major moments- not a single bridal or groom solo!!! Arrived 30 minutes late to the reception and the entrace included fireworks and she said "someone should have told me"- I told you by telling you what time to arrive like WHAT?? Zero outreach, communication was always from me, she canceled our engagement photo session after we had already booked tickets and hotels and scheduled all of our other wedding appointments around since we were flying in from California- zero attempts to reschedule, zero apologies, zero engagement photos for the wedding. I mean there was no lack of trying to blame everything on us- we are across the country! Every single shot her second shooter took had to be tossed. They were so embarrassing and beyond amateur. You will see her best work on her site so I will add some of the ones she doesn't show you later on if I can bring myself to. The few pictures we got from Lacey that we liked were great! But there was so many mis-steps, the worst communication and just a terrible overall experience. Please do not hesitate to contact me I could go on and on but every time I think about this experience it truly upsets me to the extent that we still have never printed a wedding book because we don't have enough photos to fill in the story- not a single food photo, no photos of our lovely center pieces, no bridesmaids dresses, we arranged a lovely gift bag for all the guests I wanted photographed but the shitty second shooter got her hands on those so total moot, she was also in charge of the groom/groomsman getting ready so no suit photos.... take my word for it there are sooooooo many great photographers out there and I thought I had done my due diligence so when I had red flags I kept ignoring them but I should have canceled her the moment she nonchalantly canceled out engagement shoot.

She brought Lacey as her associate/assistant photographer for the day. How lucky were we to have 2 great photographers?! I'm not quite positive which specific images were edited by which photographer, but Lacey posted one image on her Instagram account, and I absolutely loved it - the colors, light, the moment - just perfect. (I'm sure that specific photo had to be her editing). Overall, Lacey's sweet and calm demeanor kept me at ease on the day of the wedding; she was a pleasure to communicate with afterwards; and the photos are just beautiful and captured the spirit of the best day of our lives. We'll be sure to reach out for those maternity, baby, and family portraits in the future! NOLA is lucky to have you, Lacey, but we hope you'll maintain your business on the west coast when you're in SF :)

We worked with Shannon on August 3 for a small wedding. This was not our first (we are also in our…read more50's)\, and it was important for us to capture family moments. We live over 3 hours away and I was a little nervous as I didn't know anyone personally who used Shannon for their photographer. First - Shannon IS a professional. She clearly communicated to us to ensure we were happy with the final product. I do not photograph well. I am so glad I listened to her because at the end of the session, she asked us to do a few different poses. I'm not that adventurous -- she made me feel comfortable. Her suggestions turned out to be my favorite. Trust me, if you hire her - LISTEN to what she says. It's well worth it. She sent my gallery over within a week and I was blown away at how much I liked the photos. Usually, I have a hard time finding 1 picture that I like. Shannon was very flexible yet firm and clear in her direction. I felt comfortable and confident in her ability. I honestly think I would drive 3 hours to use her again.
