My wife and I cannot thank Alex, Mal and Jorge enough for everything they did on our big day. You…read moreguys went above and beyond what we could ever imagine. Whether it was Mal helping my wife while she was getting ready, or Alex helping close the tent walls during the reception and so much more. And none of that was their responsibility, but it certainly made a huge difference! We had so many people tell us just how awesome they were! When it comes to photography, Alex and Mal are hands down the best of the best. During engagement photos, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and had the most creative ideas for what would make the best photos. The same goes for our wedding photos and video. All three of them were very punctual and organized on our wedding day. At times, I felt they were doing more to keep everything on schedule than our wedding planner. Just like the engagement photos, the wedding photos blew us away with how amazing they turned out. Alex and Mal will always be our go to photographers for any future family events or needs! If you are able to splurge a little, definitely have Alex partner with Jorge for the videography. You will not be disappointed, and every dollar will be worth it! The video was amazing and we watched it over and over again the first week of getting it. Thank you all so much for an amazing experience.

Ken is great at budgeting his time. After a wedding planning session, Ken created a customized…read moretimeline with our daughter & new son-in-law. He used his pre-wedding time to go back & forth between the Bride's and Groom's Rooms for photos. As the Mother of the Bride, Ken and I had a telephone conversation and he told me exactly what he needed ready to photograph as soon as he arrived on the wedding day. Having those items prepared helped him to stay on schedule and get all the pre-wedding pictures taken so that we started the wedding on time. Ken was very accommodating with special requests from both of the Mothers, because we wanted photos taken of our extended family groups. Ken had a prepared list of the extra photos that we wanted, and he methodically went down the list. The great thing was that we never felt rushed by Ken at any point during the entire day. Ken has a calm and friendly demeanor and it showed!! HIRE HIM... he'll do a great job for your wedding or special event too!

I unhesitatingly recommend Ken Thomas Photography! Ken's professionalism before, during, and after…read moreour May 2022 wedding has been exceptional. His attention to detail has been superb, and his talent is evident in our finished products. I'm thrilled with our photos, and I'm so thankful that I found such an accomplished professional for our special day. Way back in 2019, Ken met with me in person at his studio to discuss our expectations and to give me more information about his work. He impressed me as a delightful and extremely professional gentleman, and I liked him immediately. He also, during one of our visits, devised a detailed timeline for the events of our special day. That timeline proved invaluable in calming me on our wedding day and in keeping the festivities on schedule. All was nicely on track with all our wedding businesses, but due to the pandemic, we rescheduled our 2020 wedding. Ken was more than understanding and accommodating as I tried to come up with alternative dates. He was always a pleasure to speak with and even checked in with me from time to time to make sure we were still on schedule. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at our location in Marion County, South Carolina over an hour before the start time on our timeline, just to scope out the private home where our wedding was being held and to get an idea of photo locations. He was friendly and kind with everyone, both during photo sessions and at other times. He was fast and efficient in taking pictures, and his experience as a photographer showed as he quickly arranged us and our families in various great poses. My groom and I are both 60 years old, and he not only tried to make us feel more comfortable in posing - something that could have tried the patience of other folks - but also treated us just as he would a good-looking couple in their 20's. He made us feel special and was completely patient with his elderly bride and groom and our even-older guests. In addition to the posed photographs, he took great candid shots as well as many lovely photos of our outdoor ceremony. Since we didn't have a videographer, it was especially meaningful to me that I have photos of our vows and our walk down the aisle together. I received so many compliments from guests and family members, even before they saw the finished photos. Those in attendance noted that Ken was always available and busy taking photos throughout the evening and that he was unfailingly friendly. And then when they saw the nearly 500 photos - wow! I'm a technophobe, but Ken very patiently helped me with the online viewing of our pictures. He even emailed us a sneak-peek of around a hundred pictures less than a week after our wedding. The prints of all sizes are beautiful (despite the elderly subject matter!), and the lighting and color are perfect in each photo. When my two sons someday marry their girlfriends, I'd love to have Ken as the photographer. Even after all my wordy review, I can't think of a higher compliment than that!

Four our engagement session she had great ideas for where and how to shoot our photos. Heather is so full of energy and an amazing person to be around, she made the engagement session so much fun. There aren't enough words to express how amazing her and her son Braeden were on our wedding day. On our wedding day, Heather sat down with me to schedule out the day and wanted to make sure she got any photos I specifically wanted. Heather also coordinated with our DJ and they worked so well together. Heather really makes the bride feel like she has her back and is there for her, but also making sure things run as smooth as possible. Heather's son Braeden was our second photographer and he is such a wonderful and talented young man. He didn't hesitate to get photos and video of the ceremony and reception. Heather and Braeden felt like family on our wedding day even though they were there to capture it. Both engagement and wedding photos came out amazing and we could not be happier with our experiences and photos. We highly recommend Heather and Braeden for any and every event you want to capture. We will be using Heather and Braeden to photograph all of our life moments.

He gave us just the right amount of direction while still letting us be ourselves, and somehow captured moments that truly feel like "us." David was also incredibly flexible and creative--we wanted to take some of our photos out on a boat, and he made it happen seamlessly. Plus, he used a drone to capture some amazing scenic shots of the lake that took the photos to another level. The final pictures turned out even better than we could have imagined--beautiful, authentic, and something we'll treasure forever. We can't recommend David enough!

My 1500 review is dedicated to PopRock Photography! I do want to preface this review and say that…read moreTonya is a good friend of mine ever since we met on Yelp. I had been meaning to take advantage of her talents behind the lens for the longest time, so my nephew's first birthday party was the perfect excuse to get some family photos in the books. Tonya is a total professional and will deal with a multitude of personalities, from crying one-year-old princes to (cough, cough) some people with more life experience and are set in their ways. Her photos are gorgeous and they really capture the moment. Tonya takes her experience as a seasoned traveler and really applies it to her work (and life in general). There's an ease of how she really can capture a person's spirit in a moment in time. I've also gotten to see Tonya's work with Weddings where I was the best man in a wedding in Charleston. Weddings, in general, are so stressful, but, more than one time during the weekend in Charleston Tonya really "saved" us. From being flexible in location shooting (June in Charleston.... everyone was sweating), to simple logistics of time and schedule. The pictures turned out amazing and the newly weds were super happy with all the photos. There was also a freak thundershower during the reception, but Tonya just rolled with the punches. Tonya has a really good eye for setting up her subjects for success. No matter what they are (food, people, animals, etc) she captures them all in the best way imaginable.
