I nabbed one up and took a class as soon as I could, and was very excited to finally learn a little bit more about my camera and how it works. The class ran for 2.5 hours, with a 15 minute break planned in there. Scott did a great job with the curriculum and broke it down into relevant sections that all tied in together. I got a great schooling on the basic functions of my camera, and the key 3 or 4 things I'd need to know to get better pictures with a camera that has better optics than I do. The studio is on 9th Street, and is a great little space that is very entertaining. Entertaining? You ask - how? Well, photographers need props, right? :) They've got lots of stuff to work with, and lots of things to look at. I think the class could have used a little bit more hands on work - but really, that's what the next level of class is for, right? :-) Overall, I was really pleased with it and hope to get another one in soon.

My husband and I used Scott Faber Photography when we got married at the Washington Duke Inn, and…read morecould not have been happier with the results. Things we loved: -The photos are great! We have a large selection of portrait photos and candid shots. All of the photos that we requested on our shot list are there.... and we had a pretty long list. -Scott and his wife Michelle are both photographers, and both came to our wedding, plus two assistants. This allowed us to have pictures from different locations during the wedding and reception. -Scott and Michelle are enjoyable people to be around. This is a great trait normally, but I especially appreciated it on our wedding day. -During our family and wedding party photos, Scott and Michelle were a fantastic team. Scott was taking photos while Michelle had our shot list and got everyone ready for photos, positioned them, and helped get smiles out of everyone - including my cousin's baby and other younger family members. Their process helped things go quickly and smoothly, and we got all of shots that we wanted (with everyone looking in the right direction and smiling - no small feat with our family!). -Scott is very creative. We wanted some fun poses in addition to the standard portraits. They had some great ideas, and are some of my favorites! -There are a lot of options for items to purchase. Our package included the highlight reel DVD, and we highly recommend getting that. It is set to music and includes songs that were played at our ceremony and reception. It really captured our wedding and is a great momento. -We purchased a montage style wedding album and love the results. Both sets of parents purchased replica albums and those turned out great as well. -Before the wedding, there was an issue with my flowers, and Michelle was in the room when I found it. Although I had initially been told that it could not be fixed, Michelle made one phone call and solved it! Overall, they really captured us. Scott and Michelle are great to work with. We had a lot of fun at our wedding, and it shows in the photographs.

I hired Matt & Crystal for my wedding on July 20, 2013. They were amazing! I met with them months…read morebefore for a consultation and they were extremely professional and very helpful! I knew nothing about weddings and they helped me understand things that I did not know. They were there with me throughout the planning process and were a great help! When the rehersal came around they were there and discussed all the details of the set up and helped me arrange certain areas in the wedding so that moments like the First Dance would be in a great place for pictures. They were both there early on the morning of the wedding, asked me what I needed and were very accomodating. The wedding was supposed to end at 4pm and we ended up leaving at 7 or 8! They stayed late with me to get the pictures I wanted and would have stayed even longer. They are very flexible. Both of them are extremely creative and fun to work with. Great people! Their work has always been amazing and they were my first and ONLY choice when it was time to hire a wedding photographer. I can't wait to see my pictures, I know I will love them. If you are looking for a wedding photographer look no further because they are the best. Worth every cent, you can't put a price on perfection ;) Love you guys!

They were well-prepared before our session so they understood what shots were important to us to capture. They also had a great service to help plan what types of images to print and hang in our home afterwards. My absolute favorite thing we ordered was the custom album - Vanessa helped put together the images and the order. The album cover in linen is so pretty, and the pages are thick like a board book which makes them kid-friendly and also so easy for the kids to turn and enjoy looking through. Lovely!

She is an amazing person and it was fun to talk with her.

I really like that he provided two backgrounds and helped me choose the best shirt. He sent me my headshots after only a few days and the quality is beautiful.

For my granddaughter's Easter pictures this year, we booked a session at this location. First, I…read morewill say that my granddaughter is VERY active; in fact the photographer said she was the most active child she'd ever tried to photograph. As Jon O. said, the place they put you to take the pictures was junky, but they did a pretty good job with the pictures. Some complaints were putting her with a white bunny while sitting on a white chair; no contract. Because of trouble with her being still, she looked pretty stupid in some of the pictures. My main complaint though is with how misleading they were about pricing. We were quoted a price by phone of $29.95 for the sitting and 2 pictures, then each additional sheet was to be $10, which is pretty high. When we went to pay, we were charged $39.95, which didn't sit well with us, and then told each additional sheet was $20. At that point, we just paid the $29.95 and left. Since then, we have left 2 or 3 voicemails, actually spoke with someone who told us the manager would call us back, but she/he never did, and I've emailed them through their website AND Facebook. Here it is, almost Christmas, and we have yet to be contacted in any way. The one time any of us got to speak with a human, we were just told that those prices had never been quoted to us. Really? $20 a sheet? Are they insane? JC Penneys took the baby's pictures last Christmas and we paid $3 or $4 a sheet and they were better pictures. I won't say who it is, but even my dentist told me they were too high. That was after the fact!

People below spoke about the amount of props they have in studio but that is one of the best things to me about them. No matter what you are looking for they have something that can be used. They will do anything you ask and they get some of the best shots because of it. I have gone to a ton of studios in her 10 years (the first year I went to a different one every month) and none have taken such great pics that captured everything I was looking for. They are also great if you bring your own props about using them and making it exactly what you were looking for. Thanks for a great 10 years of pictures and looking forward to a bunch more!!
