So, Susan did my maternity photos and I loved them. I didn't think I could love any photo more…read moreuntil she did my family session with my now 6 month old kiddo. We went to Susan's studio, on what I swear was the hottest day of all time and although I felt hot and sweaty and yucky, the pictures turned out fabulous. The ones of my husband and my kid are just PRICELESS and they make me so happy. Susan has a way of capturing the moment so that all the joy and expression and emotion just comes through. If there wasn't a photo to prove it, you'd never know there was a photographer documenting the moment and for me, that's the style I like. Nothing too posed or contrived, just us being us, and Susan coincidentally snapping a few photos in our general direction.

Caroline was amazing. My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Caroline as our wedding…read morephotographer. When we got married I would have loved to have had a tiny country wedding, but family obligations on my husband's side had us locked into a very large affair. Caroline helped us create and capture the intimate moments I was longing for. She worked with us every step of the way to create a photography package that fit our budget and included exactly what we were looking for and none of the extras a lot of the other companies we spoke with tried to slide in. A wedding day is full of adventures and unknowns, but there was never a moment where I had a single second of anxiety about Caroline and I'm proud to have her work in my home (and would be even if it wasn't our wedding photos). In fact - our venue was so impressed by her they asked if they could display the pictures she took of our wedding in their advertising for their wedding packages. She is simply a joy on all levels. A true professional who is looking to give you the once in a lifetime experience you deserve.

So, he just decided that he was relieved from the obligation to get me photos of my wedding. I have ZERO, that's right, absolutely no photos of my wedding. My in-laws are all Turkish and could not attend the wedding due to lack of visas. They have never seen a photo from the event and my father-in-law died not believing we actually got married. We lost $5000 to Don Mears. I'm not sure what justification he could possibly offer for not doing literally what he was paid to do! I would give no stars, just like I have no photos if I could!
