It was like being in a candy store picking out poses and outfits. I felt instantly at ease with her because she knew how to calm my fussy baby and conjure a peaceful expression for the pictures. She really cares about the safety and health of your infant and uses lots of hand sanitizer and clearly keeps her equipment clean. Her pricing offers something for everyone's budget and the quality of her work exceeds many other local photographers that I looked into in a similar price range. My husband and I look awesome in our photos, you could never tell we were running on 2 hours of sleep. We loved absolutely every image Maria composed and would recommend her to anyone :)

Dear bride and groom, stop all your searching for an officiant, a coordinator, bartenders, or…read morewho's-who in general. I could not have had one of the best days of my life without Bethanee and her team! I wanted for nothing. Bethanee is very detailed; she will ask a lot of questions, but it is to make your life a whole lot easier. She is fearless. She will have everyone in line, and that includes vendors who may think they need to have an opinion. LOL! She is empathetic; she will give a hug or lend an ear if she feels a meltdown about to happen. I don't have all my pics back from my big day yet, but I loved every minute of it! And that's what I wanted. Bethanee helped me have that!! Love to her and her team!!

Let's be real, planning a wedding is rough - especially the month, week, and day of! That's where…read moreBethanee comes in - my month-of coordinator, and honestly, the unsung hero of my entire wedding. From the moment I hired her, Bethanee was a rockstar. I'm a bit of a perfectionist and love to be involved, and she handled my need-to-know updates with grace and patience. I'm pretty sure I texted her more than anyone in the weeks/day leading up to the big day, and she always responded promptly and put my anxieties at ease. Then came the actual wedding day. It was hotter than anything, and I'm pretty sure Murphy's Law was in full effect. Bethanee was all action, putting out fires (metaphorically, thankfully!), wrangling vendors, and keeping everything running smoothly as possible, all while sporting a smile, even in the midst of being treated not so nicely from a few people that should have known better. She truly worked her butt off in the heat! I don't know how she did it, but she was truly amazing and made me feel like I could truly enjoy my day. And can we talk about the bartenders she provided? These weren't your average bartenders. Matty and Sabrina were wonderful and the guests were raving about the cocktails, and they went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy and hydrated. Seriously, they were a wonderful team and I would hire her and her team again in a heart beat! If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who is organized, communicative, dedicated, and not afraid to tackle any challenge thrown her way, look no further than Bethanee at Kreative Minds. And if you need bartenders, trust me, you want her team. They will make your event unforgettable (in a good way!). Thank you Bethanee and Kreative Minds team (Matty and Sabrina)!

I've never written a Yelp review before (but follow them faithfully!); however, after the…read moreincredible turnaround of this business, I have to give a positive review. First of all, my husband (then fiance) and I booked when Alamo Photographic when they were under old management/ ownership, and had an absolutely terrible experience. After the initial consultation (with a photographer who, unfortunately, quit prior to our wedding), including on our wedding day, the remaining photographer was amateurish, unresponsive, and entirely unprofessional (I won't go into detail). Two years passed after our wedding, and we still hadn't received a number of the products we were owed. We were literally days from suing Alamo Photographic for breach of contract, when we reached out one last time and finally connected. In came Frank and Cat Solis, the fantastic new owners of Alamo Photographic. Apparently, the previous owner sold the business suddenly and moved to Europe, leaving them in the lurch with a number of dissatisfied clients. Since then, Frank and Cat have worked tirelessly to improve the name and image of the business, as well as relationships with the previous owner's clients. They worked with me and my husband to create an even more beautiful wedding album and package than we would've gotten with our original photographer, and we are extremely satisfied with the result. They are always available, and return phone calls and emails promptly. We received our wedding album (and my parents and in-laws received their albums) right before Christmas last year, and they could not be more perfect. The layout and content are contemporary and clean, and tell the story of my wedding day exactly as I'd envisioned. They are exactly what I wanted, and what I am sure I never would've gotten with the previous owner. I cannot speak to their photography as they were not present for our wedding, but if it is anything like their customer service and professionalism, they are the picture of excellence, and I highly recommend them. Frank and Cat, thank you SO much.

They have an online blog where you can see lots of information about bridal tips, wedding timelines . Also, their impressive blog is my favorite thing to peruse, at as I sip my morning latte! Vladimir and Mark are worth every penny you'll spend. When it came to the wedding day, I cannot say enough amazing things about how special they made the big day. They were totally professional, and arrived on time. They made the long process of taking family portraits so enjoyable and fun. Most of my friends and family said that our photographers were ninja-like. They captured all the important moments of the day without being at all intrusive. Every single picture of our wedding turned out beautifully...we still can't even begin to pick "favorites". They're all incredible. I'm glad that I will have these wedding pictures to look at for the rest of my life- its like looking at fine art masterpieces. Lots of people have said our pictures looked like they were out of magazines! All of our family and friends were blown away with the photos, they were all magical. Vladimir and Mark are experts when it comes to the perfect lighting, color, angles, and retouching for the most amazing shots. Vladimir's incredible patience is matched only by his tremendous talent and artistry. He was so much more than a vendor or a photographer to us. Vladimir and Mark are not only great technicians, but have good personalities, innovation, creativity, and are always keeping on top of the latest photography trends. They really care about the artistic aspect of photography. Vladimir and Mark- Thank you so much again, for always going way above and beyond, for your skills, and for your friendship...and especially for our beautiful pictures, to relive the best day of our lives over and over again!

Well first of all, don't put your business advertisement in an area you don't want people to go. Not super bright. When I inquired about the service, again the woman was incredibly rude and hateful and stated "I am the business". What a C-U-Next-Tuesday. As a representative of her "company", I wouldn't use it on principal. When out on a location and representing your company, you ought to have better manners and business etiquette. You never know who may be interested in your services, and your treatment of them can influence such decisions. If you want someone incredibly rude to potential customers, then this company is for you!!!

Man was I wrong to think that. Hayward was amazing with her. Though the whole process I hoped that he got the shot. My daughter was being her usual spunky self so I decided to use the opportunity to do a me and her shot. When we went to view the shots, it was SO hard to decide on the one. He had amazing shots of all of the positions. So yes, you guessed it we ended up getting them ALL. The final product was AMAZING as well. The framing will go well with everything in my house and the presentation was exceptional If you need portraits done, I highly recommend using Hayward Gaude Photography.

Candy was easy to communicate with, always so friendly and committed to detail.

We were floored walking into our reception venue on wedding day to see how gorgeous everything looked! Thank you to the team at Freesia Designs for creating a timeless look for us that we absolutely loved!!

I had high expectations of my wedding with Freesia last year in July and it was a real…read moredisappointment. I have always dreamed about having real florals at my wedding so I planned a big portion of my budget on them. I spent about 10k for my wedding on florals. I met with the floral designer twice. We also discussed how my candle arrangement would go and what my vision was for each table. She expressed to me that it would be less expensive if I provide the vases and candles for her, which I did and we went over multiple times how she would arrange them and what looked best. I also expressed how I envisioned a beautiful candle lit reception so therefore I provided tall vases and candles for her. Come wedding day and I found out my wedding planner ended up arranging all of the vases and had no time to light up all the candles so no candle lit reception. I messaged the florist what happened to everything we discussed and she said it was never put on the final bill statement so service was not provided. I was not aware that things like candle lighting was suppose to be part of the bill statement or vase arrangement so I never even questioned why is what not there. I assumed we discussed everything and she understood what I needed. I would have gladly paid for the extra services if I was already paying 10k for florals. I was not aware to look to make sure extra services on the bill. I thought she knew what I needed therefor she would put down everything necessary on the bill statement that needed to be put down. What was the point of meeting and going over candle placement if she was never going to do it? We even discussed my welcome table and guest sign in table that was never even touched by the company. The other issue was that I paid for the florals therefore I assumed I get to keep them or my family would get to take some home. However the company just came and took everything without even discussing with me where they would go! I wouldn't have minded if they were donated but I was never told! I spent 10k on flowers and was never told where they ended up. I trusted the professionalism of the company. I trusted their communication since they were reputable and I was so new to the planning process but I was truly let down. My biggest regret of my wedding was this company.
