The interactive features allowed all of our guests to enjoy the finished photography at the wedding, sharing to social media instantly. We were delivered our final gallery the very next day. For the music, the DJ kept everybody on the dance floor all night with an incredible mix of modern and classic hits. I can't recommend these guys enough!

Everyone had a blast and everyone was happy to be able to request songs. I think the excellent production really made the night as our smaller group had such an amazing time dancing together and singing along to the wedding classics and down home tunes he put on for us. We'd definitely hire him again he's such a friendly guy and did such an awesome job! This review is only for service so far, as we have not had the event yet. But Chris was extremely helpful in working with us to figure out the best package for our day and accommodating to our needs. We are really looking forward to having them at our wedding. Will update review after the event :) Thanks again, Chris!!

This is our preferred photographer for our office's professional photos, and I've been using…read moreAvonlea for at least 5 years now. They do a really great job at professional photos, are easy to book with, and have a fast turn-around time for getting the completed picture sent. Recently, we used them for photography at an Awards Banquet, and they did a great job capturing all the moments. As an added bonus - they give back to the community! Every Christmas, they go to the Stollery with Santa, to let the sick kids have a photo with Santa. Highly recommend Avonlea for your professional photography needs.

The fiancé "won" a free photo (shoot) at the bridal show last year. We already had engagement…read morephotos done, but she wanted family photos done with our pooch. Our experience was lack-luster. The photographer is a gruff guy who doesn't seem to care. The photography session was slow. It took a long time to even get in to review the photos. And the photos themselves are nothing special. Since they're just family photos, I don't care too much. But I wouldn't recommend them for regular photos since they're so expensive. And I wouldn't recommend them for weddings based on their portfolio.

We booked a photography session (45 minutes) at the studio (he also does sessions outdoors) and within a week, Chad showed us the proofs (30 minutes). Our family had selected 3 photos we really wanted out of two dozen of them, and decided to add two more photos to our package. Overall, the experience was great. Chad was friendly and communicated well during our photography session. Our family was very happy with the photographs and service. I would recommend Viewpoint Photography.

They came to do a site survey prior to the event, and were there about an hour before the event to set up. Their setup was professional, but they were also very personable and friendly with the guests as they arrived. Throughout the event they maintained some distance so they didn't interfere with the event - they melted into the walls, so to speak. The results of the session are spectacular. I would highly recommend them for your photo shoot - regardless of the kind of event or portrait session you would like. They are flexible, friendly and professional! Prices are excellent also.

After doing a ton of research for maternity/newborn photography, I finally found Teagan photography…read moreonline. Her website was easy to navigate and There was a lot of options for picture packages. I chose the first years package with Teagan photography which included maternity/newborn/6 months and one year. That was definitly a great decision on my part. The maternity portion we first met with Allison the photographer in the river valley and she made you feel at ease. She gave us a little sneak peak on the camera and a facebook sneak peak shortly after. I was so excited with the pictures. The newborn pictures were done in our house and I was just blown away with how patient she was with our little girl who pooped and peed all over. Being a brand new mom she took away the stress and was very relaxed and just worked so well with us and the new baby. Again we loved our pictures and she was quick with all of the sneak peaks. We have had our 6 month session and I have just been blown away with the great pictures she has taken and how well they all work together. In a few months we will have our 1 year pictures but they will not be the last! In the end she will bind all the photos in a book and we will have an awesome keepsake of our little lady. Again so over the moon with Allison of Teaghan Photography. She is just the perfect blend of professionalism and talent!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, stop your search and contact Lauren. Trust me…read more I cannot even begin to say how amazing our wedding photography experience with Lauren was. Choosing Lauren was the second best decision we made that day, and the photos she took captured the best decision perfectly. Lauren is so open and inviting, and fit in with the group so well. There was no awkward silence, or weird posing. She made the photography experience so smooth and natural. With one of us being a photographer as well, the search for a wedding photographer had a high standard. Lauren hit every item on the list. Lauren's style is timeless, and it was exactly what we were wanting. The photos show exactly that. The skill and talent Lauren has is top notch, and the way she frames photos is amazing. Lauren knows how to use angles, lighting, and the environment she is in for the best picture. No picture felt forced, looked staged or unnatural. It was as advertised, "relaxed, romantic and candid". We are BEYOND happy. We are so grateful for Lauren, her team, and the result of the work she did. Seriously, stop looking, contact Lauren. Her awards speak for themselves, the reviews are amazing. She was the best!

Her photos are so well done, beautiful and unique she is good at directing you to help take the best photos. She takes you to the most wonderful locations around the city to get a cool unique look. She is also very professional, punctual and outrageously friendly. I would recommend her to anyone. She makes up the most priceless photo albums as a keepsake that you will cherish.

Kelly didn't disappoint on any level for our wedding. He stayed with his fabulous second shooter…read moreuntil the bitter end and captured everything. We had so much fun shooting the "formal" shots in airlines and at the comic book store, and our guests couldn't get enough of the awesome photo booth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone looking to work with someone who will really capture the feel of their day.

I cannot recommend Kelly enough. We found out about Kelly because another friend had hired him. I…read morewas impressed with his ability to manage the gigantic groups for the group photos at that wedding and his eye for detail so when my fiance and I got engaged I immediately looked him up. I had been part of other weddings where the photographer did not handle big groups well and I felt that Kelly's own ability to manage may have been a good indicator of his experience and expertise. Now, having gone through my own wedding with him as my photographer I was definitely not disappointed. Throughout our entire experience with Kelly we were impressed with his professionalism, attentiveness, but especially his friendliness. I feel like his photo style reflects a bit about what you can expect when you work with Kelly - relaxed and easy-going yet detailed and professional. His pictures are the perfect touch of candidness and in the moment yet beautifully composed. He gave really good instructions for us modelling newbies which was another concern of mine. But luckily, he knew how to explain poses well and how to direct us and the bridal party. Another thing that I loved about Kelly is that he was willing to take into account the bridal party suggestions and the personality of the bride and groom. I was part of a wedding where the photographer militarily stuck to their planned poses and rejected most suggestions from the bridal party. The photos did not capture the heart of the bride and groom or the bridal party. My friends were incredibly disappointed in that experience. So make sure you find a photographer that you jive with! I also highly recommend spending the extra to do a day-after or engagement shoot with him. We loved our day after pictures and he came up with such brilliant ideas for them. You get more time with Kelly in your respective wedding outfits so the poses and shots get to be more creative. It is wicked fun. Of course he is a bit on the medium-high price range for Edmonton wedding photographers. But for my husband and I that was one area we felt it was okay to spend extra on while cutting costs in other less important areas. The wedding day goes by so fast that many of our friends and family said photography is one of the most important parts of your wedding planning as they will be the ones capturing the memories. We now have photos that we love showing off and getting prints of.
