Geneva shot my wedding last year and I am so happy with the images. She really took the time to get…read moreto know us before the wedding and made sure to lay out what the entire day would look like from start to finish. We also did our engagement session with her in Downtown Detroit. She knew all of the places to go and guided us the entire way. On the wedding day she made sure to get all of the important images that we wanted. We received 1252 images from the day! I really liked how her second shooter and her split up during the getting ready so it would save time for us. She also had really creative ideas for our first look (right on the beach!) that made it special for us. She's also really nice and not super pushy, so we felt comfortable asking her for certain shots too. Photography was really important to us, and we're so happy that we went with Geneva!

I was an engagement session winner from a contest on Facebook and was contacted for a time to set…read moreup the session we won. when i told her that my fiance and i did not have very flexible schedules as we both work during the week just like any other adult couple, i was told that she is booked on the weekends and that she would only do it during the week and most couples take half days off work to get them done. i absolutely did not appreciate her lack of flexibility and that i got no response after telling her that we were not going to be able to use our free session. i didn't even get a "ok screw you" from her, nothing at all, not very professional at all in my opinion.

Oh my goodness, I love Amanda. I really do- and I am not the only one. :) Amanda's business has…read morebeen mostly word-of-mouth and she has become crazy-successful. She is a super fantastic photographer who does weddings, engagement photos, senior photos, family, kids - all that fun stuff. She does some of the posed type photos, especially if that is what you are looking for - but she excels in taking photos with a little more artisic flair, photos that truly capture people in the moment, and photos of the potentially missed details. We did engagment pictures with Amanda and our wedding photos in 2007. My sister used her for her wedding in April of 2009, and she is doing two friends weddings in 2010. As you can see, the whole word-of-mouth business works amazingly well for her. Amanda's personality sold me on her services even moreso than her work. My husband HATES having his picture taking - so when we met with Amanda and it was obvious how awesome and hilarious she is, it became obvious that she was the perfect choice for us. Let me tell you, we were not disappointed. (And it helps that her prices are more than reasonable) Our engagement pictures were super fun, and a great way to get my husband even more warmed up to Amanda prior to the wedding. We brought our dog along with us and she took some pictures of us with him- for the record, she is great at photographing animals too. We had a few hundred pictures when she was done- and she releases the rights to the photos so you can make copies however you want, as many as you want, as cheap as you want. Bonus! Wedding day - Amanda met us at my parents house to take some "getting ready" pictures. She then followed us downtown Detroit to photograph the wedding, and to Woodward between the Fox and Comerica Park for some more fabulous pictures. Amanda is not afraid to do what she needs to do to get a good picture. For one of the photos that I posted to this listing, she was literally lying down in the middle of Woodward to get the best angle. Now, I should mention that she was sick as a dog through all of this. Her personality still sparkled and shined, but it was obvious that she was not doing so hot. If I remember correctly, she came to our wedding after being in the hospital for a while. Needless to say, she wasn't able to come to the reception, but sent her now-cohort Jen to take over. I think this was one of a handful of times that Amanda has had to send in a replacement. Sad as I was that Amanda wasn't going to be able to join us, I was definitely pleased with the way Jen covered our reception. She tooks tons of pictures and didn't leave until she was sure we had gotten every picture we wanted. My sisters wedding went equally well, and she was very happy with the end results. I give her credit too, because my sisters videographer was a pain in the a$$ and Amanda was very professional in not telling him just how obnoxious and sucky he was. :o) We hope to have Amanda do some family pictures for our sons first birthday in the summer- if she can capture adults and dogs, I am sure she can capture some amazing things with cute little buggers too. Amanda is awesome - I think that with most of her customers, she becomes not only their photographer but also a friend. Love her.

She was confident of the quality results while I was quietly skeptical due to the "virtual" aspect of this photoshoot. In spite of my negativity, I am very pleased with the result and have already discussed with Rachel my interest in her assisting me with a plan for content for my business social posts. She was easy to work with and skilled at what she does. I definitely highly recommend others to consider working with Rachel on virtual photoshoots and/or taking advantage of Rachel's abilities to help build their brand.

They are genuine, easy, professional and funny! Taking pictures are not necessarily easy for everyone who are not as photogenic, but they made it so much more comfortable for both Josh and I during our engagement session! They captured the most natural looking yet loving photos of us! Tamara also helped us made our guest book and ensures it was ordered on time for our wedding! Their professionalism, organizing and flexibility was greatly appreciated! Besides, Josh and I came from two different backgrounds, Italy and China. We combined many culture differences into our wedding and made it very unique and could be difficult to capture all, but Tamara and Steve did not disappoint us at all! They are truly one of THE BEST DECISIONS we made for our weddings!!! I will always have Silver Thumb in mind for any events in the future!!! If you are looking for a great photographer who does not only have skills but also personality and care, STOP looking now!!!!! Silver Thumb is beyond qualified!!!!! We love Tamara and Steve!!!!!
