Both Pauleen and Myro are incredibly talented and professional photographers. Pauleen helped make us feel entirely at ease in front of the camera with her directions and constantly hyping us up. On our wedding day, she knew all the best photo spots at our venue and was able to get us a wide variety of photos for our couple's portraits. Myro did a fantastic job getting photos of all our guests during the cocktail hour. We had several guests compliment how friendly he was and how many people he captured. In the background leading up to our wedding day, the True Photography team helped put a photography timeline that aligned with our wedding coordinator's timeline. This helped ensure we got all the photos needed included first looks, couple's portraits, family portraits, etc. No special moment was missed by the team throughout the wedding. From first looks to dancing at the end of the night, we the full story of our wedding day captured!

As a wedding coordinator, I'm always a little skeptical when working with new vendors because you never know what to expect in terms of professionalism, communication, and work ethic. Brandon exceeded every expectation. He was incredibly easy to work with, provided great direction during photos, and helped create a fun, relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. His sense of humor and lighthearted personality made the experience enjoyable for both the couple and the vendor team. From what I've seen on social media, his work is absolutely stunning, and I can't wait to see the full gallery from our event. I would confidently recommend Brandon to my clients and look forward to the opportunity to work with him again in the future.

She was organized and efficient, and she knew exactly what needed to be done, which helped keep everything running smoothly without feeling rushed or stressed. We were sent a booklet detailing all the steps and the planning process, which made it so easy! From the moment we met the team, they felt more like friends by our side than a company we had hired. They helped us feel comfortable, relaxed, and fully present throughout our wedding day while quietly capturing everything behind the scenes. The final photos and videos are incredible. They captured every emotion, detail, and special moment so beautifully that we can relive our wedding day each time we look at them. We could not be happier with the results and are deeply grateful for the memories they preserved. We highly recommend Astray Photography/Videography to anyone looking for a talented, professional, and down-to-earth team.

Though her work online already speaks for how talented she and her team are, some of the most important things that really drew us in were how kind she was, how creative she was, and how she had an answer or idea for everything we wanted and envisioned. As we reflected on our wedding day, we found ourselves constantly talking about how impressed we were with how Brittney supported us through our day, and really paid attention to the vibe we described in our meetings leading up to the day. She provides great resources so that she can get to know you and your spouse, and it's so evident on the day of the event how deeply she takes those details into mind when being present for the day, and even after while curating the final photos! We really felt like she helped create an environment that helped us live in the moment, and it was so special to us. Another thing that really attracted us to her work is how you can feel the essence of each couple she photographs, simply through these images, and we felt that way tenfold when we saw our own photos! She truly was such a joy and so much fun to work with! We just felt like we could be ourselves, and she fed a lot of positive and calming energy into our already fun/chaotic group. She's a wonderful communicator and amazing artist, and you can tell she loves what she does. Thank you for being there for our special day and seriously 11/10 would recommend over and over again!

The photos came in the exact time she quoted us but the edits look like pictures taken and edited off an iPhone. Not happy with them. I had to re-crop and edit majority of all photos as best I could as all the edits completely washed out our skin tone, the colors of the sky etc. I asked for the raws so I could just edit them myself from scratch and it's been 2 weeks and still haven't received them. Didn't remind us or inform to take phones/wallets out of pockets so those just look lovely in all our photos **sarcasm**. Book with someone else who knows what they're doing and takes their time on special memories like this. Updating my review! Got some of the raws back a day after making my review, which was nice of her to send as she said she didn't usually do so, but the quality of the photos look like they were taken on an iPhone..it was nice to see some of the photos that didn't come through as finals. Aside from how the photos came out, the one positive was that Anel was easy to communicate with and nice overall!!

I am late in writing this review since our event was in November last year however I felt it is…read moreimportant to write one... I believe it's fair to give your opinion especially in these types of situation since people book photographers for special occasion and I felt I let others know about what kind of job Amari Productions did for us. With that being said our experience will this company was not good at all. We were extremely disappointed with the photography service provided for our son's wedding. This was the first wedding in our family, and we trusted the team to capture one of the most important and emotional moments of our lives. Unfortunately, the final results fell far below our expectations. Around 35-40% of the photos in the gallery that they provided were duplicates or nearly identical shots with the same angles and poses repeated over and over again. Many important ceremonies were covered very poorly, in several key moments, the photos only showed the backs of people instead of capturing the actual ceremony, emotions, and expressions that mattered most. What makes this even more frustrating is that we had a detailed video call with both the coordinator and the photographer before the wedding. We clearly explained the important ceremonies, family moments, and expectations in advance, so we genuinely believed everything would be handled professionally. Sadly, we now feel that many once-in-a-lifetime memories were not properly captured, and that is something we can never recreate. Wedding photographs are meant to preserve moments for future generations, and it is heartbreaking to feel disappointed when looking back at such an important event. The most disappointing thing was that I communicated my disappointment with two people and neither one of them offered any kind of solution that could have made me feel better. Sometime in situation like this the senior people of the company such as the owners or founders contact the customers and try to see how they can help satisfy the customers but in this case no one bothered. This shows how much they care for their customers. My wife and I regret using this company... we wish we would have done a better job in searching for the right photography company.

Only the *tiniest* bit bummed, we decided to still get married and scheduled our civil ceremony. But now, I want a photographer to document this event... I think I found Emily on Instagram, after looking around at different photographers' work. I remember really liking Emily's style, how natural everyone looked, and how well Emily captured the moments. I think those were/are the most important things for me for choosing a photog, and it helped that Emily has (solid) reviews for me to go through as well. Emily was prompt in responding via email, and offered to chat on the phone to discuss the details and what I wanted. After talking for a bit, I sent over a deposit and we were set! Or not... because a week or two before our shoot, I looked at my civil ceremony appointment time and it was actually for 8am, NOT 8:30am. Yikes! I text Emily, nervous that she wouldn't be able to make the earlier time, and I would need to scramble for another photographer, but thankfully, Emily is flexible and okay with the earlier time. Phew! I also wasn't quite sure *what* I wanted from the photos (POSES? props!? specific backgrounds?!) but found some pictures I liked and sent them to Emily a day or two before our appointment, so she had an idea what I was going for. I appreciate Emily's responsiveness! The actual civil ceremony felt a little hectic; we did not know what it would entail -- paperwork, of course, and then waiting because there were other couples that were getting married that day. Thankfully, Emily was very patient. Emily is personable, friendly, and professional. She is very easy to work with, and helped the husband (!!) and I feel comfortable. Nothing felt forced, and I think she did a great job of eliciting and capturing our authentic moments. We are super pleased with the pictures and I can't stop looking at them! Lol. I would *definitely* solicit Emily's services again. Maybe for one of her fun mini shoots down the line. What a cute, low pressure and creative way to get some quality photos! Reception/after party TBA in December 2021! Or 2022, depending on how things shake out ;)
