Seriously consider coming here to take at least one picture for a milestone that you personally…read moreconsider to be significant in your own family's life! My motivation for taking a family portrait at Busath was because my husband is turning 40 so I felt we needed to take the best photo of our family possible to commemorate that. Busath really is the best at family photos, the lighting is perfect and everyone looks like family together at their best! I was very nervous about doing photos but our experience was so good here. We had a great, comfortable session with our photographer Erin and her assistant Makayla, they make sure the lighting is good, our hair wasn't all over our faces, got my girls to smile & be expressive. It's definitely a far different experience taking your pictures here than anywhere else. My little girls were so curious to explore the mansion and Erin gave a quick tour of what was upstairs to my girls and they liked her a lot. The studio is very organized from start to finish. You have your session and then they invite you back for another appointment to review the proofs. We took photos outside in their studio gardens which were beautiful. They make sure you are happy with every detail of your portrait that you select on for purchase & retouching is great and natural looking. Yes you do need to plan and budget for photos taken here. I personally think you just need a few good photos to display at home that can work well for a few years, then update again after a few years so you don't necessarily need a formal group portrait taken every single year. Often you risk taking way too many family photos and they just end up in boxes instead of out for display. Taking a family photo every 3-5 years is fine IMO. I decided in addition to the family photo, to also shoot one portrait of my two daughters together, individual portraits of each daughter and a quick business headshot for my work. I got a lot of compliments from work on my headshot and my husband said after looking at some of the proofs, "all my girls are beautiful. I am one lucky guy to have you all in my life" I will definitely plan on coming back here again for my next special moment for my family and recommend.

I love this photographer. They were able to capture our family in the perfect moments!

I have no idea how Drake does it, but he and his team are fantastic! We've now had photos done here twice and both times I've been very happy with the photos. They may be a bit pricey and they don't operate like photofly or camera shy, but they definitely are worth the money. We did get some digital copies although not really high quality, enough for Christmas cards and social media. They do keep the high res digital files and do have a copyright so you do have to pay for what you want printed.

So I got married on Mars (or the Planetarium's equivalent) a couple of weeks ago. It was the best…read moreever. When one is having such an awesome wedding, one must have an equally awesome photographer. It was really important to me that the photos truly captured the feeling of the event. I wanted people to look at the photos and really feel what it was like to be there. After browsing the websites of scores of professional photographers, I was starting to get discouraged. Either the photos in their portfolio seemed way overly posed, the photographer was wayyyy out of my price range, or both. Then I happened to come across an ad Samantha posted on Craigslist. Her portfolio was one of the best I'd seen. I knew she'd be way out of my price range, but I e-mailed her anyway. I was wrong. Her quote was really reasonable, and she was very enthusiastic about photographing our Martian adventure. I knew we'd found our photographer. We met up with Samantha several months before the wedding so she could check out the planetarium and talk to us about what we wanted to see in the photos. In the weeks leading up to it, she did light tests at the Planetarium to make things would look right. And on the day of, she took tons of killer photos. She was always professional and very easy to work with. We got the photos back two weeks after the wedding and they are all that I hoped for. Really. If people want to know what my wedding was like, all they have to do is look at the photos. All the emotions, all the happiness, it's all there. I also recommended Samantha to some other friends who had a much different ceremony than ours: outdoors, private, low key. (Our reception was pretty raucous.) And she did a wonderful job too, capturing all the serenity and tranquility of that situation as well as she captured our big party. I'm so pleased with our wedding photos, and if Samantha is your photographer, I'm sure you will be too.

Sam didn't meet my expectations for a wedding photographer -- she excelled well beyond them! My now…read morehusband and I decided to elope; but the only thing we wanted to be SURE to really invest in was our photographer. We were so happy when Sam agreed to accompany us on our not-so-traditional walk down the municipal asile. Calm and collected during the whole event, Sam managed to keep us at ease as well. I was a hectic waiting period at the City Clerk's office (nearly two hours!) but Sam took it all in stride, making sure to fully capture the excitment and energy of the whole event. And boy was I glad that she did. Honestly, it was such an emotional time for me I don't think I fully appreciated the beauty of it until I got Sam's photos back. We may have scrimpted on the ceremony but THANK GOD we made sure to invest in Sam!

Though I knew she was a great photographer I was still a little surprised when I saw how good our photos looked. I didn't think that I could look that good; these were the best pictures I had ever seen of myself. But it's not like she made my wife and I look like models from a bridal magazine. She captured our personalities wonderfully and I think the photos do a excellent job of capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I should also comment on how easy it was to work with Mckenzie. She was flexible, reliable, and fun to be around. We felt very comfortable during the shoots which I'm sure helped us get great pictures, but it also made the experience of having your picture taken over and over again unexpectadly fun. We we're very happy we chose Photography by Mckenzie for our wedding.

I've been a model for 5+ years and worked with a large variety of photographers, both inside and…read moreout of Utah. Phillip is phenomenal and a cut above the rest. With some photographers, you get a shutter-pusher (sorry if that's harsh). With Phillip, you get a creative visionary and true collaborator. He's meticulous and deliberate about the shots that he takes - there's nothing cookie cutter about his work, and he can truly do anything (weddings, product photography, high fashion, you name it). He's also a creative to the bone and wonderful at giving feedback before and during a shoot. Choosing a photographer is all about finding the style that you want. Phillip's style is one-of-a-kind and has an ethereal quality to it. Many of his shots feel like something between art and photography. Look at his portfolio. It's possible that his style isn't for you, but if it is, you won't find a better photographer to execute on it.

I was captivated as I perused his website and knew I had to contact him asap. I'm so glad I did because he was amazing to work with. From the very beginning, he was dedicated, responsive and all around awesome. Chris did a phenomenal job with our wedding pictures!! They are gorgeous. I can't even begin to name a top ten because all of them are perfect. He captured the wedding ceremony and reception perfectly, taking pictures of the whole group that attended. I love getting to see the wedding from his perspective. He also did an awesome job with our couples portraits. He showed up with tons of great ideas which let us just enjoy the moment and trust him... the result was perfect. I have had multiple people tell me how stunning the pictures are and how if they ever need a photographer they are going to call Chris. I have to agree with them :) Thank you Chris!!!

So I, along with most of our friends, have since used him and have loved our pictures as well. If you are repulsed by standard, "prom-posed" wedding photos, then Jonathan's candid, artsy style might be what you are looking to achieve. What impresses me most is his ability to capture a couple's chemistry and style, and to adapt to it without losing his art in the process.
