Communication and the booking process was super easy and organized on her website. She always responded in a timely manner. She addressed all my questions and concerns. The design team that she works with is amazing and brought my vision for the balloon backdrop to life. She works with her partner/husband Ed who was also super nice and helpful; he came down to help us with our belongings when we got to the studio. The studio was so clean and airy looking; it was the perfect spot for photos with natural lighting. Melissa really showed her expertise and comfort level in taking wonder shots of our son and of us. She was able to direct us on how and where to pose and also adjust things like fixing my hair or adjusting my legs/heels so that they would not look awkward (not all photographers will do this, this comes with experience). We never felt rushed and Melissa was patient with our son. We had some suggestions after we got the edited pictures back and Melissa never made us feel bad about doing the editing over again until we were satisfied. This wonderful experience made us super happy with choosing her as our son's First Birthday Photographer and hopefully other special occasions in the future. If you guys are looking for a true professional to capture your memories then I highly recommend Melissa!!

I just recently had my Christmas 2022 photoshoot at Melissa studio and the service is terrible. You…read moreare paying close to $400 dollars plus for less than 25 mins a photoshoot. Let alone the anxiety you feel from them that you have to hurry up with the photoshoot. Her husband works with her an suffers from extreme OCD so half of your photoshoot session will be cut in half due him cleaning. As far as the turnaround to getting your proofs is also awful and takes such a long time to receive them. This should not be the case if your paying over $400 dollars for less than 25 mins a session. My advice coming from a business background is that you will slowly lose more customers that way because it's not an enjoyable experience when you feel a pressure from the photographer to hurry up when it's suppose to be the opposite a pleasant experience. This is my second time booking with Melissa and I won't book again because of the awful experience. Don't waste your money there is other photographers out there with the same set up, more time and the ability to choose more pictures without feeling robbed.

From the moment we booked J&R Photography, we knew we were in good hands--but Jenn and Ro truly…read morewent above and beyond anything we could have imagined. Getting married on February 14, 2026 was already so meaningful to us, and somehow Jenn and Ro captured every second of it so perfectly. From the start of the day to the very last moment, they made us feel completely comfortable, calm, and honestly just able to be ourselves. Their energy is so warm and easygoing, and it made such a difference throughout the entire day. What meant the most to us was how present they were while also being so seamlessly behind the scenes. They caught everything--the big moments, the quiet in-between ones, the emotions we didn't even realize were happening. Looking back at our photos, we're blown away by how they were able to tell the full story of our day so beautifully and naturally. Jenn and Ro are not only incredibly talented, but they're truly amazing people. We feel so lucky to have had them by our side on such an important day. These are memories we'll cherish forever because of them. We truly cannot recommend J&R Photography enough!

Family members had used them…read morebefore for weddings so we knew we wanted them to photograph our wedding as well, it was a no brainer. From the engagement shoot to the end of the wedding day, Jenn and Ro were dynamic, professional, and engaging. It did not feel like photographers were even there - making photos candid and relatable. There is nothing more uncomfortable than a photographer telling you every which way how to pose and putting the camera in your face. J&R were the opposite of that. They guided and gave suggestions but also let the photographs show who we really are as a couple. Their pricing was reasonable and fair, and we recieved so many comments on our photographs. I would recommend J&R for all photograph needs. We hope we can see them again sometime soon! Thanks again Jenn and Ro!

We just received our photos from our wedding on 3/21 and all we could say is WOW. My wife and I…read morewere just in awe of how amazing the photos looked, especially the portraits which looked like a work of art. We were assigned Reena and Roderick as our main photographer and videographer, and Ben and Tuck as the secondary photographer and videographer. They gave such clear direction to ensure the photos came out the way we wanted. All 4 of them were respectful, professional and very accommodating. We had an extensive list of photo combinations we wanted with the bridal party, our parents, wedding sponsors, and extended family and the Dean Michaels team managed to capture every single moment. I'd ask Reena last minute if we could take pictures at different locations and she would be so accommodating and the photos came out perfect. We are so glad we went with Dean Michaels. It's always tough picking through hundreds of wedding photo companies but my wife and I really liked the style of Dean Michaels which provided a good mix of dramatic and traditional photos without being too over the top. We highly recommend Dean Michaels if you're undecided who to go with for your wedding or any other events!

Thank you so much Dean Michaels Studio and to our amazing photographer, Laura! 10 out of 10.

Me and my sister had a phone call appointment with Mike where we discussed packages and prices. After we agreed on a price, he informed us we had 5 days to sign the contract to hold the date, no problem. 2 days later he texted my sister telling her her sate is being inquired by another couple where she responded that her and her fiancé were not ready to sign so its ok if he gives the date away. He responds that he'd have to let me know that a price change for me will have to take place since he gave us a 2 wedding deal, no problem. The problem is, he must have felt some type of way, and BLOCKED us on INSTAGRAM from seeing his work. When I confronted him- NO RESPONSE. Thank god I dodged a bullet in such an unprofessional company, on top of the disappointing reviews of them (online and from friends who have used them).

They met at our two "get ready" spots. Caught beautiful photos of us all preparing for the big day. By the time we got to the venue they were both waiting for me to arrive to get photos of me getting into my dress and the mother/daughter moments. They captured every important moment from me walking down the aisle, to my husband's reaction. Our favorite photos are the candid ones. He made us all feel comfortable and coached us through different poses and positions with our wedding party. The duo was able to do such a great job capturing everything without them interrupting our guests or us! Highly recommend Will and his team, they surely exceed our expectations and were so easy to work with.

Little did I know, they've done multiple family members' wedding!

We are so happy to have worked with Chirali for our wedding photos…read more We decided to have a small family only wedding so it was very important to us to have a photography team who fit seamlessly into our day and family. And chirali and her team were exactly that. From the very first FaceTime convo to go over our needs, wants and photography style we knew Chirali would be able to give us the photos we wanted. On the day itself Chirali and Gil took so many photos of every moment and helped our camera shy family come alive. We were able to capture all the moments we want to look back on in both posed and candid moments. Our first look and bride/groom shoot went so smoothly! And now we are doing the best part - Chirali and Amish gave us all the uncut footage and photos to keep! And we were blown away - our favorite photos are those of our family with us - everyone smiling and happy. And of course those dramatic photos of just us two. Now we can't wait to see those photos come alive in our personalized album, the highlight reel of the ceremony and of course look forward to the reception photos we plan to have this year. Would definitely recommend working with Chirali and team for your wedding if you want beautiful photos and a wonderful experience.
