Professional, friendly, and with a spirit that exudes positive energy Lauren is a pleasant change of pace on what is often one of the most stressful days or your life. As my part time job I have seen literally thousands of photographers, bands, djs, etc... but I had an unusually close up view of Lauren Mudrock Photography. My bosses, MENSA students that they are, decided to set her photo booth right next to my bar. It gave me a unique perspective from which to see her work. I was able to see a small business owner with a passion for making a wedding the best it could be. Once she opened her photo booth she was able heard rather inebriated guests in an orderly fashion to get some of the cutest shots of the night. People talk all the time about bridezillas (and I assure you its a very real thing) but just as real are photo-zillas. Those a photographers that try to dictate YOUR wedding, Lauren Mudrock Photography keeps the focus on you and your guests. What else would you expect from an owner who travels three hours to perform a wedding, with the same energy as if she was going around the corner. That's why she'll be my wedding photographer, and why she should be yours

Both her and her second shooter were amazing! Not only was she the photographer for the wedding but she also created the entire timeline and kept everyone right on track. Way more than I thought a photographer was required to do. Above and beyond! I'm of the mind that the photos are the most important part of a wedding. That's how we will look back and remember it. These are what we will show our kids. So there are no regrets here. We chose the best for the best day of our lives!

She met with us at the venue before the wedding to scope out shot locations, and the day of she brought 2 additional photographers. During the formal portraits Sharyn was prepared with a list of need and want photos and expertly coordinated them all easily with her team. We received over 1000 well framed, naturally colored and styled photos after our wedding. She also included a significant number of black and white copies which were gorgeous and looked just like film. I was very picky about choosing a photographer because I have a some background with photography myself, but Sharyn and her team exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Sharyn Frankel Photography for any occasion.

Liz and Ray were amazing!! We recently got our photos (and a very sweet unexpected gift) from them…read moreand I can't stop looking at them! They perfectly reflect the night. Liz and Ray are very affordable and are the type of photographers who are really interested in learning what you want from your photos. They also did our engagement photos and gave us a deal on that. We love those as well! I should also note they're really talented at shooting in all different lights. We had a nighttime NYE wedding and wanted lots of pictures of the dance floor which was almost completely dark with club lights. Despite this the pictures came out BEAUTIFULLY. I have no idea how they did that but if you have an evening wedding and are worried about dark lighting these are the photographers to go with! All of our friends have been saying how our photos look straight out of the movies. They're really sweet people who were really flexible in working with us even when we had last minute requests. Thanks so much Ray and Liz, it was amazing meeting and working with you guys!

Allure West Studios has a class on digital photography for beginners, which requires the student to…read morebring a DSLR, a pad and pen/pencil, and the manual for the camera (you don't use it--I don't know where mine is). My wife bought me the class as a gift. The gift was a nice surprise, since I had been talking about wanting to learn more and to stop using the "auto" mode on my camera. I was afraid of the manual mode. Prior to taking the class, I researched the studio a bit, and I have to say, I was a bit skeptical since most of the reviews were overwhelmingly positive. There's a reason for it: the class was excellent. The class is around 3 hours (ours went a bit longer than that) and is made up of only several people. Our class size was 5, which was nice. It allowed personal attention and removed any fear of asking questions. There is a short break in the middle, and that break essentially split the class into two 'parts': (1) a general overview of photography; and (2) how to use the manual mode. The first 'part' was a general overview of photography, equipment, and the reasons why having quality equipment results in quality pictures. Jung, our instructor, explains with great detail why the choice of equipment, namely the flash and lens, is so important. He also took several photographs in the class to show before and after results of using the flash incorrectly versus using the flash correctly. I have learned just how important lighting and a quality lens are to pictures. The second 'part' was an overview on how to take pictures and involved a light hands-on activity with the camera. Jung explained the four basic settings of manual mode. He explained: (1) what each setting does to the picture; (2) when to use each setting for the particular subject; (3) how to correctly adjust each setting; and (4) in what order to adjust each setting. He provides many small tips and tricks to avoid purchasing superfluous accessories. He also makes sure each student is using the correct settings, so no one is left behind. Jung offered several recommendations for entry/amateur-level lens and flashes. These recommendations were nice, because I know if I go to a big box store, or even many local stores, the salespeople only want to sell equipment. Jung had no ulterior motives. He was not selling anything; he just wanted his students to take better photographs. He lets you to contact him after the class to ask questions, especially regarding the purchasing of new equipment. He will provide advice not specific to one brand, which is helpful since the Internet is full of people with conflicting opinions (i.e., Canon is better.. no, wait, Nikon is better.. no, wait..). All in all, it was an excellent class, and I look forward to taking his Level 2 class sometime in the near future.

I was just at this studio to take an intro class on using my digital SLR. I paid for this class…read morethrough an Amazon Local Deal, so it was half off for me (knowing the value of the class, I think I would be okay paying full price for follow-up classes in the future). The camera I have has been both a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing because it has potential to help me take great photos, but it's a curse because I have no idea how to use it -- well, didn't have any idea of how to use it before this class. Now I'm well on my way! Jung taught the class and he was great. He keeps the class sizes small so that plenty of questions can be asked and he is great at explaining things. He's breaks down the process in a very logical way and you leave with a great set of foundation tools to start taking photos with your digital SLR. He is generally very knowledgeable about not only photography as it relates to taking photos, but also was in terms of being able to use and recommend equipment -- in both professional and amateur price ranges. He was able to show each student how to change the settings on their particular camera, so that was super helpful as well. I'm looking forward to practicing the techniques Jung taught by taking more photos on my own and hope to be back for the more advanced classes.
