We had an extremely disappointing experience with Alyssa Herold, owner of HJCO Photo and Cedar +…read moreSage Studio. My fiance & I hired her to photograph our wedding in April 2023. Along with the package we purchased, came a complimentary engagement session. We paid the $500 deposit, and were so excited to have beautiful photographs together that we could use for our wedding reception, website, etc. Alyssa was very kind and easy to shoot with during the engagement session. However, the photos that we received for a "sneak peek" were not at all what we expected. I recall email conversations with Alyssa beforehand about the importance of our photos being "true to color" and timeless. She assured me that colors would be true: "but I also always ensure that colors are true. For example, if a bridesmaid's dress is teal, I'm going to show that color instead of making it a sage green. I do this because I understand you selectively picked out colors for a reason." The photos that she sent us were far from what she had promised. My hair is dirty blonde, and in the photos it looked like it had been fried to a yellow-orange. The photos were over-exposed and there were shadows on our faces which made us look tired and aged, far from flattering. I politely expressed my concern for my hair and the orange tint of the photos. She quickly responded to let me know that she would be re-editing them and send them over the next day. Two days later, I received an email with four photos- two were less orange, one was still exactly the same, and the other was a black and white under the chin photo. I was not impressed and quite heartbroken.I expressed my concern again to Alyssa and asked her for unedited/unfiltered photos, to which she replied she wouldn't be able. I let her know that we had decided to find someone else to photograph our wedding. We understood that the $500 deposit was to reserve our wedding date and she declined other clients on that day. We agreed to this, because we understand that she is reserving that entire day for us and if we canceled, she could lose out on an entire $2150 package. The reason we canceled is not due to anything that we did, but rather her editing and promises that weren't kept. We figured that out of the goodness of her heart, she would give us the unedited engagement photos that were already taken. That would have been nothing extra out of her pocket, but a quick upload and email. Instead, she told us that a contract is a contract, and that we could only receive our wedding photos if we paid her an additional $500+ for a separate session. We felt that was a bit heartless and was the main catalyst for making this negative review. Now, $500 wasted, an evening taken out of our schedule with nothing to show from it, and onto finding a wedding photographer for a month-away event.

I used Doorstep Diner Catering to cater my hubby's 65th birthday…read more Laurie Fraser was amazing assisting with picking menu items. The food was amazing. People at the party thoroughly enjoyed the food. People were really impressed with the pulled pork and meatballs. The food was seasoned well and again was simply delicious. Serving utensils, stands for the hot food and heating elements were provided. There was a hiccup with the delivery. The food was to be delivered at 6:00 pm, but it arrived at 5:10 pm and they forgot to give me the silverware and napkins. Laurie did call me after I emailed her about the early arrival and the missing items. All is well. Even with the minor snafu I would highly recommend this catering service. I would use this catering service again.

Wow, I don't know where to begin with SwitchUp Media. They are absolutely amazing!…read more If you are looking for videographers who are able to bring a perfect mix of talent, fun and professionalism to your event, Tyler and Jason from SwitchUp Media are the videographers for you. These guys go above and beyond to capture your wedding day and you can depend on them to provide you with a product of the most exceptional quality. Photography and videography were my number one priority for my wedding; I wanted to be able to look back on the memories forever. However, my photographer was so expensive that for a while, I was afraid I wouldn't be able to get a videographer because everyone was extremely out of my budget. I also had the mistaken assumption and was afraid if I didn't pay an exorbitant amount, I would receive poor quality. Fortunately, one day, while scrolling through my Facebook Newsfeed, I stumbled upon a highlight video SwitchUp Media had done for a wedding with one of my friends in it. Their work made my heart race and after researching their website and following their work, I just HAD to have them capture mine! Best. Decision. Ever. Tyler and Jason treated our wedding day with adept expertise and professionalism and in turn made us, our wedding party and our guests feel respected and special. They are also just naturally fun guys to be around and are great at interacting with the bride and groom, wedding party and guests. I had several people comment on how well they presented and handled themselves and also had a friend ask them to do the videography for her wedding. SwitchUp Media is transparent about their pricing (which is so decent and unique of them when I think back on all of my vendors) and you are paying so much less for how much they give you. I mean, you get TWO videographers who are with you ALL day (they stayed at our wedding longer than our photographers did) and they took hours of footage, captured incredible shots, and then they edited it down into a priceless memory with a beautiful highlight video and DVD of the entire day. And I just got the basic package! These guys offer so much more and can and will do so much for you. The day we got our highlight video back I think I watched it 100 times. They really take the time to capture the "feel" of your wedding and are spot on. I love watching all the highlight videos they have done because they all give you a really good feeling which I also feel is testimony to their character. The sky is the limit with SwitchUp Media and I know Jason and Tyler will continue to be very successful and sought after for their talents. I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you hire them for any media project.

They captured our moments in an exceptional and unique way and didn't miss a beat! I couldn't stop watching the highlight video and couldn't believe how they had edited the moments from my wedding and synced it with the music in an unbelievable way. I can't say THANK YOU enough! Thank you for capturing the detail shots, the expressions of our guests, moments with our family and friends, but most importantly thank you for documenting the best day of my life! Jason and Tyler will not disappoint. They are a MUST for your wedding day. If you're considering videography to capture your day-these are the guys!
