They had very creative ideas for our pictures and were extremely flexible and professional to work with. The passion that John has for photography shows through in every picture! While I was waiting for my bride at our "first look", John was telling me how he averages 200,000 pictures a year, himself... craziness! We are so happy with all of the pictures from our ceremony and reception, the results have exceeded our expectations, to say the least. John and his team of photographers captured such good moments throughout the entire celebration. I highly recommend Trusted Exposures for your wedding photographer!

Jan is simply amazing. You could not hire a better photographer who possesses both the…read morephotographic expertise and wonderful personality to share your wedding day with you. She is absolutely at the top of our list of all our wedding vendors. She is incredibly talented, professional, responsive, and patient. Over the months leading up to the wedding and after the engagement shoot (what a great decision that was to do!!!), Jan answered a myriad of questions leading up to the wedding (many not even remotely related to photography). She always answered emails immediately. Something we very much appreciated. Talented and caring is a wonderful combination in a photographer. Certainly there are other photographers who also have her amazing camera skills, but Jan has something that sets her apart. She is a kind, relaxed person with a wonderful ability to handle complex & confusing situations. She knows how to get people to relax in front of the camera & completely forget she is there - this equals amazing photos. I really do not think we understood when we started the selection process how important personality is when it comes to selecting a wedding photographer. But, we learned, it should be high on your list, right after photographic skill. We were so fortunate to have heard wonderful reviews of Jan and that helped us a lot in picking her. We had people going every which way the day of the wedding. But Jan had asked us ahead of time to think through what pictures we would want of family and friends. We did not quite "get" why we were doing it but the day of the wedding it became clear - Jan and her assistant had everyone in and out of shots before we knew it. Her assistant, by the way, was superb also. As we look back now at these gorgeous pictures, we realize no one was missed. During the day of the wedding, our entire bridal party totally lost it - what to do next, where to go, when to go. Jan, gently and sweetly, kept us on track the entire day. But she was never in your face, never intrusive. Most of the evening, we do not even remember seeing her or her assistant. But the glorious photos prove she was there! Jan posted the wedding pictures almost immediately after the wedding. We sent out the link to family and friends and the response from has been universally -- what gorgeous photos. She was able to capture not only the photos of the day, but perhaps most importantly the mood of the day which can be best described as - magical. No, Jan did not pay us to write this review, she is simply that good. We are so very happy we decided to go with her. When it is all said and done, the wedding flies by in a nano second. What you have left are memories and your photos. This is not an area to skimp on. Go for the best --- Jan Michele is simply the best. But hey, don't listen to us, trust your eyes. Her work on her web site says it all. Jan is a true artist who cares deeply about her work and her clients.

Esmaralda is the best!! We have had her take photos of our family (large group of about 15 people,…read moreour immediate family) and every time she gets MULTIPLE options that we can use for holiday cards, invitations, and scrap books. We have used one of her photos for our holiday cards for the past 3 years and I wouldn't think to call anyone else! Esmaralda has a great eye, a steady hand and excels with retouching (extra bonus for for me!) Thank you Esmaralda for making our photo sessions so carefree and painless, we look forward to seeing you again this fall for another photoshoot - this year we'll do it with the fall foliage, can't wait!!! - Jenny and the boys

We got lucky. Way too lucky…read more K. Thompson was recommended to us after our initial choice was booked. Why are we lucky? She's normally booked. And she was booked for the entire month of September except 1 weekend; the weekend of our wedding - thankfully she took us on. K Thompson (Kelsey) was and IS absolutely amazing. She has such a portfolio of work that she always had recommendations to personalize your experience and she takes well to suggestions that you may have. As far as our experience: She spent 3 hours shooting photos for our engagement shoot. After 3 hours my wife and I were exhausted, She was still going strong. We asked her what the secret was - she just loves taking photos that much. She had an engagement shoot every night that week due to bad weather in the prior weeks. You would not have known. I thought we were the only ones that week by her energy (and we shot ours on Thursday of that week). On the wedding day her and her assistant were both top notch. They both had high energy! She was just so excited! And honestly it made all the difference for us. We wanted someone with high energy. After attending 20-25 weddings over the last couple years we really wanted a friendly, take charge photographer who knew what shot she wanted. K. Thompson met every need. On the professional side - she meets her deadlines, she's upfront and honest, and truly a great person. After going through what I call "photo hell week" when my wife lost her first choice - we saw the differences up close by meeting with 5-6 photographers in about 4 days; here's my only piece of advice for anyone picking a photographer: Pick someone you get along with, can communicate with, and is excited about your wedding venue. If you're lucky enough to find all that and you like their photos - pay whatever price they want. My wife and I were married at Camden Yards in Baltimore in September 2011. Kelsey was the only one truly excited by the idea of taking pictures at the ball park. Since the wedding we've had friends contact her for their wedding, friends talk about how great the photos came out (and they wished their photos came out that great), and also compare Kelsey to photographers at weddings they have attended since our wedding - and they all say the same thing "your photographer rocks!" If my wife's first choice and Kelsey were both available - we would have picked Kelsey. Her personality, experience, and body of work just won us over.

Choosing Sandi was by far the easiest decision we made when it came to wedding planning. She had…read morephotographed the wedding of some friends of ours and we were so impressed that when my sister got engaged, I recommended Sandi. Working with Sandi at my sister's wedding was so great that we didn't bother talking to any other photographers before booking her and Marilyn for our wedding last June. She not only takes amazing, beautiful photographs, but she's just so NICE. She's just great with people, including little kids and getting them to look at the camera and smile. Both Sandi and Marilyn went way beyond photographing - they helped pin on boutonnieres (none of us knew how!!), they helped button my dress (ladies, do not underestimate how long it will take to do all those buttons going up your back! Save at least 15-20 minutes just for that!), and even helped fix my hair whenever a bobby pin started to slip out or if something didn't look quite right. Once the festivities begin, I didn't even notice they were there, but I just got the photos back, and am amazed at how well they captured the whole event. It's so wonderful because there are so many things that, as the couple getting married, you just miss because there's so much going on and time flies by so quickly. Sandi and Marilynn took so many great photos that I can relive the whole event in detail and at my own pace. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Sandi is just an amazing photographer with a great eye, as well as a truly kind, wonderful person…read more I seriously can't say enough nice things about her! Sandi actually did my high school senior portraits (which I loved), and at the time I saw her wedding portfolio and it was like nothing I'd ever seen before, it was like she was telling a story, instead of just posing people. I just fell in love with her work, so I pretty much knew, if possible, she would shoot my wedding. Eight years later, I got engaged, and within two weeks we had picked a venue, secured a date, called Sandi and booked her, and I am SO happy we did. The day of our wedding, Sandi made a point to know the name of every member of our bridal party almost instantly, which made everyone feel special and made all of those large group shots SO much easier because Sandi wasn't saying "Hey bridesmaid #2, move a little to the left!" She was just so helpful and always smiling. Then the day after our wedding, we had multiple family members telling us how wonderful our photographer was and how personable she was and how amazing it was that she was always just sort of there at the perfect moment to catch the perfect shoot. I will say, it took 4-6 weeks to get our pictures back from Sandi, which I thought would've been a really hard wait, but it was actually kind of exciting, because right when the thrill of getting married starts to die down a little, you get your wedding pictures back and it's like reliving the whole magical day all over again. And it was so worth the wait, for all 1600 beautifully edited pictures. Like I said, I just can't say enough great things about her. If you're looking for a photographer, book Sandi and you will not be disappointed.

Additionally, he could not stand for extended periods of time or walk long distances. She was incredibly patient with us, and she was able to come up with creative poses so that his brace was not in every photo. She did a wonderful job coaching our family on how to pose.She flawlessly captured the spirit of our special day! I will cherish these photos for forever. Thereafter, we booked Christian to capture our baby shower! She consistently exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend Christian! It was such a joy to work with her from booking to gallery delivery.

We hired this photography for our daughter's birthday party in Chevy Chase, MD. It is unbelievable…read morethat the photographer just did not show up at our event. This website seems to be like a scam. We hired them online for our daughter's birthday. Their website asked us to pay fully in advance(!!) and sent a confirmation email for the payment and date of the event. Their photographer didn't show up at our event and they never called us back although we left them voicemail that we and our guests were waiting for the photographer. This is a very very bad look for MacroHype Photography, as every guest shockingly asked us the name of this company. We reversed our credit card payment easily but we also will review them on every single possible website and social media to let people know they need to avoid hiring this photographer(s) or have a back up photographer in case they don't show up. Very rude, unprofessional and irresponsible photography.
