Also the day before they called us demanding we make our final payment knowing they were going to cancel the wedding. Do not do business with these people unless you want to lose your money. Or get ripped off. More reviews to come. This place doesn't deserve one star.

Buyers beware. This place totally bungled my wedding. Let's start at the top. As the bride, my mom,…read moremaid of honor and I arrived a short time early to get changed and such and were denied access to the facility despite no weddings occurring prior to mine. That's fine - so we waited. We went through the ceremony and all was fine until the photographer finished and asked us to pick up our own wedding petals despite paying for cleaning in my package. Imagine squatting to pick up pedals in a wedding gown, so we asked the children in attendance to do it. After the wedding, we were rushed out of the chapel and as the bride and groom could not even change into our normal clothing at the facilities. We had to go to a restaurant to change our clothes. That is ridiculous. There appeared to be no weddings after mine at the chapel and the staff left as soon as we did. We were basically then tracked down in the parking lot and told its customary to tip everyone. We did not have cash and had to borrow cash from a guest even despite the huge amount of money spent at this place to be rushed about the whole time. I found out after the fact that my wedding guests were made to wait OUTSIDE in mid-November on a cold day (including my 7 month old and 3 year old nieces). My other guests needed to use the bathroom, but had to LEAVE the facilities to relieve themselves. In addition, I purchased the full photo package and rights to download the photos. It is over a month later and I still cannot do so. I did not receive the link to download for several weeks. Then when I received access the photos were watermarked. Now that that is resolved, the web site is attempting to charge me $20 per download. I am trying to print the photos and give them as Christmas gifts. When I called to 1) resolve this matter and 2) give the rest of this feedback, the staff were extremely rude to me stating how much positive feedback they have received verses LISTENING to my frustrations. I asked for an ETA to resolve the issue when the phone call ended. Then I received a callback from Maureen chastising me for the phone conversation with her employee. She proceeds to yell at me - not even asking for my side of the story and how the conversation went. Then she HANGS UP on me and will not take my calls. So I am out HUNDREDS of dollars on photos I have already paid for an NOT RECEIVED. Do yourself a favor and pick a more reputable and professional chapel. This chapel ruined what should have been a lovely day for my family and I. Not to mention the exorbitant amount of money I spent in total.

The numerous emails and phone calls back-and-forth for the planning were no problem for her and she was always ready with ideas.

Working with Chynna through partial planning was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding…read more From day one she felt like a best friend -- warm, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day feel like us. She has such a unique eye for design and style, offering incredible suggestions while fully embracing the things we wanted to do our own way (even the DIY projects many planners try to steer couples away from!). She even went above and beyond by still committing to our wedding after moving from the West Coast back East -- a true testament to her dedication and how much she cared about bringing our vision to life. Because she took the time to really get to know us, every detail of the wedding reflected who we are. And when the day-of weather turned terrible, Chynna pivoted instantly and handled everything with such calm confidence that I didn't have to stress for a single moment. Chynna is creative, steady, stylish, and truly exceptional at what she does. We're so grateful she was part of our wedding team.

From the moment we walked in, we felt completely unwelcome. The owner seemed irritated we were even there. His personal music was blasting so loud it was hard to hear ourselves think, let alone have a conversation about the photo packages. When we politely asked a couple of questions about costume options and pricing, he got visibly annoyed and incredibly short with us -- and then, unbelievably, asked us to leave. Just like that. No explanation. No attempt to help. Just rude and dismissive. We weren't being difficult or demanding -- just trying to understand what we were paying for. It's clear the owner has no interest in providing a welcoming or professional experience. If you're hoping for a fun, family-friendly activity with decent customer service, skip this place. There are plenty of other photo studios in town -- ones that actually treat their customers with respect. I highly recommend you take your business elsewhere.

I went the next day to book a time and they said an hour wait but then stated a marketing company was coming and gave me an estimated time of 4pm.

Once I got there they said I took too long, they didn't text me to cancel and the marketing company got there late. They have no phone number and they are very unorganized in the reservation process. Having a marketing company come in the middle of the afternoon seemed hurtful to the business

If you're in Somewhere in Time Photography, this is an absolute MUST-do…read more Our experience far exceeded expectations. Becky, our photographer, was everything you could hope for--friendly, funny, outgoing, and incredibly patient. She somehow managed to wrangle our group of 30-somethings (truly like herding cats ) while making every single one of us feel comfortable and confident in our bodies. She took multiple shots, gave great direction, and made the whole process feel effortless and fun. One of our friends couldn't make the trip, and Becky went above and beyond by including a Barbie in the photos so we could send her a picture and make her feel included. That kind of thoughtfulness meant so much to us. The whole experience took about 30 minutes, and the dresses provided were beautiful. You can choose your vibe--from more modest "madam" style to a more playful look--but everything is tastefully done and covered. The location is perfect, right next to Howard's Restaurant. Pro tip: go early (around 11 AM), get your photos done while your hair and makeup are fresh, then walk over for lunch by the creek. That's exactly what we did, and it made for the perfect start to our day. We left with amazing memories and photos we'll treasure forever. Highly, highly recommend.

There were 7 of us, and the check-in was quick and easy. First you choose your background (saloon or formal living room for our party size), then they take the women back to choose the costumes. We can choose from short sassy dresses to long classy ones. You can buy a pair of fishnet pantyhose for $5 to keep. The guys also get dressed with western outfits with hats and gun holsters. They accessorize everyone before entering the set. The photographer was very experienced and told us how to sit and pose. We went through 5-6 poses and various expressions. It was a lot of fun. Once everyone was changed back, it took them about 5-10 min to load the pictures to the computer to let us choose from all of the shots. Additional prints are $25 each, added $5 for color print . Of course we had to buy extra!! Overall, a great experience.
