I was hoping Breanna would be our new photographer for all family photos but unfortunately I've…read morebeen disappointed! After our shoot and upon choosing our photos, I paid in full and it took 17 days to get my final photos (we discussed a 2 week timeline). I asked her to fix 2/10 photos (I felt like we looked like AI) to which she did not respond. I had to email her twice and text message her. She finally responded 6 days later and said she would fix the photos. 2 weeks have gone by and I still have not received the fixed photos I requested. I've text her thrice and emailed her to which I've had no response. Our photo shoot was June 29 and now it is August 15 and I still haven't received a product to which I'm pleased with that I've already paid for. The photos are over edited and similar looking to AI. However, some positive feedback I will say is her prices are fairly reasonable, she provided the cake for my baby's cake smash photos (and it was delicious), she allowed for outfit changes, and she was able to get some really good shots of my little one despite him not being in the best mood. I get we are all busy but I do feel like I've given Breanna ample time to respond to me to which she hasn't, so now I just hope that she reaches out to resolve the situation.

When we first met with Thom and Bev they seemed amazing, accommodating and professional. I was…read moreexcited and hired them. Their work was incredible. Our wedding was scheduled for 2020, Covid happened and we post pond the wedding. They seemed accommodating and had our new date available. We meet with them for our engagement pictures and it went downhill from that point. Our pictures were horrible; they were unorganized and arguing with each other making it very uncomfortable. We decided it was too close to the wedding and to keep them as we had already paid them the full amount and we would lose our money. I meet with Bev to discuss my plans for the wedding. She argued and disagreed with every idea I had. I did not want a first look with my husband even though it is a "time saver" I wanted that moment down the aisle to be special. She disagreed with me trying to convince me for 15 minutes to change my mind. I politely refused. I then told her it was important I do a first look with my father. She did not like that idea at all. She said it was ridiculous to do a first look with my father and not my soon to be husband. She also did not like the idea I was not doing any wedding traditions like cake cutting flower or garter toss. She said "what are we supposed to take pictures of just dancing for hours" I said yes! I want candid pictures of our guests having fun, talking to each other dancing laughing and having fun. When the wedding day arrived I wanted to be in the moment and enjoy it, Take it all in. Everything was going great until Thom showed up. He came in like a whirlwind so much negative energy! The entire wedding staff (Hairdressers and makeup artists, bridal party immediately tensed up and expressed how uncomfortable they were making them feel). Bev didn't even show up the day of my wedding. I had hired two photographers. I was told she was "sick". Later I found out she took another gig (in our initial meeting they said they do not double book). Thom tossed my dress on the makeup artist table. Thank Goodness my bridesmaid and mother saw and rescued my dress immediately and told him to be careful with it. I had to tell Thom to send the other photographer to take pictures of my husband getting ready. They were sitting on the couch talking. We only received a handful of decent pictures! They took horrible side angle pictures. I told them I did not like the side view for pictures and they still took 75% of the pictures that way. I had to keep telling them what to do and who to take pictures of! I was directing family and friends and organizing who was on deck for pictures! They stood around clueless! During our reception I really wanted sunset pictures. They pulled us outside to capture the moment, but Thom had dropped the camera in the parking lot and could not get it to work. While his helper just stood and smoked. After 10 minutes of missing our time to eat I suggested to use the second shooters camera so we could get back inside. We also wanted to take back light pictures with our venue in the background. They set it up so the parking lot was in the background of all our backlight pictures. They then asked if they could leave our reception early as people were only dancing and nothing else was going on. At this point I was aggravated and said fine. We did not get our proofs back until December. Our wedding was in the beginning of September! I had to constantly call to ask what is going on with our albums or prints. Thom was extremely rude! I had tried to contact Bev who was the person I originally had the most contact with. She told me she and Thom were getting divorced and she no longer had anything to do with the company. Thom yelled at me several times stating that we were drunk during our ceremony. That was a complete lie as we didn't drink until the reception. He was the one drunk! He was stumbling dropped his camera several times and was very rude to myself, my husband and our guests. We did not get our albums that we had paid for until the end October 2022! Our wedding was September 2021. I was promised to receive my pictures in a timely manner. When I told him how disappointed I was he began to yell at me saying he's doing it by himself and it has not been a year since our wedding and I was being ridiculous! I think I know when our wedding date was! This was a few of the issues we dealt with, They did a lot more rude and unprofessional things! DO NOT HIRE THEM! RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL

We had a wonderful experience working with you and the girls already have their "next" sessions planned (those being family beach sessions, college grad sessions, wedding sessions, future grandchild sessions - LOL). You were extremely creative, suggestions were great for unique poses and backgrounds, you put the girls at ease by guiding them through the process. Also, the nice, quick pace was exciting (we weren't rushed, but we weren't stagnant and "posey") and we ended up with so many options that we really felt that we had more than enough to choose from, and all of them interesting and different than the last. You were obviously excited, too and really seemed to enjoy yourself - in other words, your passion showed and I knew without seeing any of the photos that they were going to be great - fun and natural. When we did get the proofs, they were amazing! Not one in the bunch was bad, and there were a lot! And the colors were amazing - you really have an eye for bringing that out in a picture, even before retouching! Regarding the creativity of the session/photos, you are definitely not a "cookie cutter" photographer. You posed each of my daughters uniquely and captured their spirit. You tried things and didn't seem to have a canned routine - no stiff poses that you see all the time. You are very artistic and spirited, and balance that well with your professionalism - that's a great combo! We went to place an order for prints, and then the next great thing was the a'la carte print options. I could put together my own "package" and get exactly what I needed, unlike other photogs that have preset packages (many of which I have had to purchase additional prints to get what I needed but still have tons of extras I didn't need hanging around). You also passed on the 50% off special that your print company was extending to you that month - who does that? You could have very easily not said a word about it and made a nice, tidy 50% extra profit without anyone knowing. That to me speaks volumes about your integrity and honesty as a professional. I trust that everything you offer as a service will be exactly as you say it will be. I have never had a problem reaching you at any point via phone, just thought I'd put that out there... We will see you soon for a family portrait and I have passed your name along to many people that are in need of a great photographer, including some grandmas that have a few first grandchildren in the making. And my daughter has received many inquiries from Bridgewater students. I'm hoping that they are all smart enough to make their way to you.

I had to email her to ask for me CD. Not only did she ask who I was, she didn't realize she hadn't sent it to me and said she thought she did. I had to decide on a cover for my album three times, because she forgot what I chose then didn't have the material. She also takes reviews she doesn't like down from websites, insisting she doesn't know you or didn't work with you. I didn't keep my paperwork to prove that she was my wedding photographer-- I have the album though. She'll probably try to get his one off Yelp when she sees it. Again, the pictures are beautiful, but she needs a secretary or someone to organize her.

A series of brainstorming sessions full of laughter and whimsical at their offices, narrowing down the details as to the photos we kindly asked to be taken during the first-look and later after the ceremony during the cocktail hour (and with any vendor we would recommend that you be specific as possible and convey succinctly in writing what it is you're looking for and want), Mariah and Trish, having familiarity with our venue, were able to keep things well organized on our wedding day. They captured the best perspectives while also putting to great use the natural light and lens flares, all the while keeping our 2-year-old, precocious niece occupied and happy throughout the photography shoots. That says a lot and that takes a lot when having to deal with multiple, somewhat un-attentive family members and friends as well. The after-shots we received within about 2 to 3 months after the event were well organized and breath-takingly awesome, easy to view, download, and share with family and friends on the internet. A first-cut of our ordered album shortly thereafter. We are certainly pleased with choosing Mariah and Trish and would do so again in a heart-beat.

I had, so far as I knew, already hired Snap! to photograph my wedding, until they pulled a bait-and-switch. After I had spoken with a member of their team, agreed via email that I would hire her, received an email response back about how exited she were to work with me, and another email indicating from the company's owner telling me a contract would be sent out to me first thing the next day, I instead ultimately received a curt email letting me know that another couple had signed a contract for my same date that very morning and so no one from their team was available to work with me. Every other photographer I've spoken with has been kind enough to let me know when someone else even inquired about their availability on my date, while Snap! never indicated to me at all that anyone else had asked about that date, let alone that there was another contract being drafted or already floating out there, ready to be signed by another unsuspecting couple. They are totally unprofessional (not even returning my phone call, just responding with brief emails) and I would not recommend them to anyone.

Are you in love or loved by a special someone? Engaged? Pregnant? Celebrating a milestone in your…read morelife? Feeling proud about recent weight loss or athletic training? Yeah, me neither. Even so, my session with Koren Reyes was meaningful, and I was made to feel that I might even deserve the treat that this experience proved to be. This is how it all came about. A friend spotted a Groupon for a boudoir photo shoot, and lassoed me into the deal. Being uncultured, I had no idea what a boudoir photo was, and had to learn that it comes from the French word for bedroom, and is a collection of seductive and classy (as opposed to smutty and raunchy, in case there was any confusion) photos that women traditionally present as romantic mementos to their lovers. I agreed to give it a whirl, then forgot about it until the week before, when Koren herself started sending thoughtful reminders and illuminating contract information. The night before, I wigged out a bit, wondering what the HELL I was going to do to force myself to look good since I still had a patchwork of tan lines on my skin and a winter hibernation gut. Oh, and I didn't really have lingerie sets as far as garters and all that was concerned... The next morning, I showed up at Koren's house a bit before ten. There was a professional studio setup right in her high rise Midtown West apartment. "You look very West Coast," she said in her down to Earth manner, eyeing my duffel bag full of piecemeal negligee and my Marmot rain jacket. "Are you from Seattle?" I liked her already. We chatted a bit about what I wanted. I was a bit wired from a rough evening of partying the sleepless night that followed, but she put me at ease and managed to get the essentials out of me. I was welcome to her pine candle scented bathroom to change into my things, and we got to work right away. She was a meticulous master of poses; telling me exactly how to create curves I definitely don't have, and reminding me to stick my chin out so my jowls don't show. If I shyly mumbled about something I wanted to try, she picked up on it and made me work. I had walked in thinking that my face was my only asset if anything, but was shocked that I ended up choosing prints that were more abstract and dependent on the structure of the pose and the lighting. Koren was patient and enthusiastic as I finally chose my two 5x7 prints, and even added an extra one because I just couldn't let it go. She took my credit card info, printed me a receipt, and handed me a picture CD of all the thumbnails (only lightly watermarked). I had some time left over before my friend arrived, so she let me sit around, play with her adorable dog, and just ask her questions aplenty about the gigantic prints and framed photos all around the studio. One thing that caught me off guard was her maternity photography. I swore to her that her photos were one of the first things that made me see the beauty of pregnancy. I have no idea if she believed that, but I wasn't shitting around. "I wish someone loved me like this," I sighed, looking at a nude couple with the man spooning his round bellied wife and kissing her neck. "Oh, I MADE them do that," Koren said. She shared a few more fascinating secrets realities of the people and situations of each photo. She also shared the intensity of shoots with women prior to mastectomies, after surgery, or facing terminal illness. I was stunned and entertained by her memory and attention to the lives behind her photos. What I valued most from my two hours of art and introspection (and a bit of physical strain in holding poses - haha) with Koren was that any self-consciousness or tendency for anxious exhibitionist melted away in her presence. I became a medium for her art, and ended up with pieces that were not even me, but a moment of visual aesthetic made possible by a true professional with a good heart. These days, it seems like anyone can just shoot a photo and make it pop with Photoshop. Koren restored my faith in the fact that there is still a level of photography that not just anyone can reach with a digital device and the power of editing programs. I can see how boudoir posing could be addictive despite the high-end price (still reasonable considering all that she puts into it). However, I purposely want to wait until I do reach a milestone or a special occasion. Who knows what it will be, but I will definitely revisit Koren at that time, knowing it will be worth every penny, even without a special discount. Whether you are facing a special time in your life or want to put your stamp on someone's heart or just want to explore parts of you that you never knew, Koren Reyes's studio is the place to go.

The shoot was a lot of fun. Koren made me feel incredibly comfortable and was great about directing my poses which I was happy to not have to think of myself. She complimented me, making me feel good about myself in the moment. As someone who is not thrilled with their body, I hoped the shoot would help me learn to love it. Looking at my photos, I don't feel this as much as I hoped to. Most of them are hidden on the CD I got and I refuse to let my boyfriend of three years see them. Nonetheless, I was able to find 2 that I liked to order and he absolutely LOVES them. When choosing photos, Koren was very patient and very kind. I thoroughly enjoyed talking to her and recommend the experience for anyone (just remember she can't actually change what your body looks like!).
