We worked with Iuliana for our wedding and she was fantastic! Her work is beautiful, of course, but…read moreshe was so professional the day of our event and worked with us every step of the way to make sure we felt comfortable about the photos and process. We (bride and groom) are self-proclaimed 'awkward photo takers' and are not naturally adept at knowing how to pose for pictures. Iuliana handled all of that, and effortlessly guided us into poses that made us look so natural in the final shots. She was also amazing at getting our large families gathered into group photos with enough time to allow us to join our cocktail hour (not an easy feat!) Iuliana has such a creative approach to photography and we're so happy we worked with her for our big day.

She is the best out there, I would totally recommend her for any of your photoshoot needs. Not only she is an incredible photographer but she is even more delightful as a person, she has a sweet personality and it's very pleasant to work with her. Thank you Iuliana for such an amazing work

I was VERY dissatisfied by this photographer. From the beginning I tried to explain to my wife that…read morehis prices were simply outrageous. I am sorry but 7000.00 for an engagement session and wedding is ridiculous. His deposit was 3500.00 which again in my opinion is a verging on insanity. But of course, we booked him despite my protests. The day of was a little warm. He showed up and gave us some good guidance and we tried several locations. We took over 500 photos, now I realize not all of those were going to be winners, but we were expecting about 20% of those to come back as finished photos. He took a little bit longer than expected but hey its art...you cant rush those things. We looked at the photos together and were completely crushed. We received less than 80 photos, of those there were more than 10 of which we were not in at all. Now im not speaking about the ones with the ring sitting on a mossy rock either. There were legitimately photos we were not in, that made it into the final cut. Additionally we now have another 3 photos of us walking away, but not in any sort of artsy way. It was as we were getting into place. I think there were 10 photos where the light shining through the trees left huge white orbs all over my face. Now I completely understand that he obviously took some shots that weren't great, hell I bet 80% of them weren't. But for a terrible to make its way to the final cut is inexcusable. Furthermore what little remained featured us at odd angels and completely off center. We brought our concerns up and he went back and fixed some of them. Now he did fix half of them, but for us to have to ask for him to make obvious corrections for a one hour engagement session......we lost all confidence that he could successfully shoot our wedding day and process all those photos without error. We unfortunately had to break contract with him, and not once did he attempt or offer to return any part of the 3.5k we had to pay him. Furthermore id also like to add from speaking with him and the amount of weddings he has shot versus his number of reviews, something doesn't add up. I seriously think he may have found a way to delete poor reviews. Because for someone with 4.95 out of 5 to conduct business as he did....I am personally shocked. We went with another photographer and he spent half the time with us for an additional engagement shoot and did such a phenomenal job. He was quick and very meticulous. He shot our wedding just last week actually, I cant wait to see the results.

I married later in life because I waited for the right one. The photographer I choose had to be the best because I don't plan on doing this again. John captured the true essence of our most special day. If you are getting married make this once in a lifetime moment a day to remember. I'm sure we will want to look at our beautiful album on every anniversary and rekindle our love all over again. John Lokmer not only photographed or wedding, he captured our memories.

I signed up for a Pinhole Camera Workshop to celebrate World Pinhole Photography Day and it was…read moreheld at Primal Photographic. This is a brand new studio for owners Chad Djubek, who is a Pittsburgh area Daguerreotype artist and his wife Darcy Stoltzfus, who does Art Direction and makes pretty awesome little Dag cases. The studio was very clean and setup so that it was easy to find everything. He had more than enough equipment/supplies for everyone to use, and there was only a little wait time to get in the Darkroom, to be expected when there are 7 people in a class. The Darkroom was clean and laid out in an easy to use fashion. Under Chad's supervision we built our own cameras out of cigar boxes, cans and the like. Then, we broke up and went to take our shots. By the nature of alternative photographic techniques, they don't always work or come out as you want, but Chad worked with everyone to troubleshoot their cameras and make sure they captured a good image before the class was over. At the end he scanned our images and uploaded them to the World Pinhole Day website with other photos from across the world celebrating photography's only holiday. I'll include an url of our images at the end, so you can see what we accomplished. All in All, I had a great day. I've already made about a dozen pinhole cameras in my life(20 years ago), so I didn't require as much help, but I did make a second camera with 5 holes and Chad helped me figure out exposures and a shutter system that was so easy even a caveman could have done it. He will be scheduling more alternative photographic workshops and I will be signing up for them. Plus, you can rent darkroom time. Did I mention he was primarily a Daguerreotype artist? I seriously can't think of any reason to take stars away, so 5 it is. http://www.pinholeday.org/gallery/2013/index.php?formType=list&groupname=PrimalPhotographic:Pittsburgh
