My fiance and I met with Alyssa last night for our engagement shoot. She was so amazing and…read morefriendly made us feel at ease. I can't wait to see all the images! I would definitely recommend her to family and friends :)

I would recommend Michael to anyone and everyone. I am incredibly thankful to have chosen such a…read morehumble and experienced photographer for my graduation pictures. I worked with him and his assistant/girlfriend Haley (who is also a photographer), so I had two professionals for the price of one! I would hire Michael again for any of my photography needs in a heartbeat. I felt so comfortable with Michael and Haley and this was reflected in the pictures - I looked happy, warm, and like I was having a great time. They were respectful, kind, and attentive to what scenary/poses/props I wanted. Honestly, I'm a slightly high-maintenance person for events like these so I came prepared with a sign, cap/gown, dog, my dog's graduation cap, life-size 2017 balloons, champagne bottles, and additional items which I briefly mentioned in our email conversation. To others, I would imagine that this would be a bit overbearing but Michael was happy to work with me to make my vision come true! I strongly believe his professionalism and creativity are unmatched in the Athens area. In addition, Haley was kind enough to hold my props, fix my hair, and ensure that the lighting for each and every picture was perfect. Michael gave me suggestions on several different poses that provided me with a greater variety of pictures to choose from. So even if you're uncomfortable in front of the camera, Michael and Haley can transform you into a model! I also think Michael is great at capturing the flattering angles of your face (sometimes my face looks like a giant potato in pictures) haha. Again, I'm a broke college student but you only graduate once! Without a doubt, the experience and end result were absolutely worth the money!

Michael is one of the best decisions I made about my wedding day! He was truly so much more than a…read morephotographer. He helped plan out the timing of the day and gave amazing advice whenever I asked. He laced up my dress when no one else could figure out how to, and he calmed me down when I felt like the whole day was derailing. Michael is everything you could hope for and more in a photographer and in a human being. Aside from this, the quality of his work speaks for itself! I am SO picky about photos of myself--very hard to please. I was very nervous about hiring someone for my wedding. Michael was reassuring and he understood my needs. When the time came, HE ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT. His photos made me feel so beautiful, and I will love them forever. I have received so many compliments on my wedding photos, and I am so thankful to have found Michael Rizza! You will probably have some regrets about your big day, but if you book Michael, that will NOT be one of them.

Our experience with Anna Hall Photography was amazing. All our correspondence leading up to the…read moresession was prompt and informative. Having a large family, a special needs child and a newborn had me a bit nervous. However, Anna was a dream to work with.

Alas, my wedding photographer has retired her camera, but the company that she worked for at the…read moretime still seems to be going strong. I believe that her assistant is now one of their featured photographers now as well. I found them to be reasonably priced, fun to work with, and, most importantly, artistically interesting. I've had a lot of people tell me that they've never enjoyed looking at someone's wedding album before. I also just love looking at these photos -- and I've seen them a million times. I can't recommend a particular photographer from Zoomworks' crew, but I trust that this is a company where you can find a photographer who will make you as happy as I am with the photos from my wedding. Since they are the only thing that you're really going to have for the rest of your life from your wedding day (aside from the spouse, of course), the photos are worth investing in!

Alyssa is great! My family has been using her since 2010 and as long as she's taking photographs…read morewe will keep using her. I love to recommend her to all my friends and have had a few use her and they love her too. You can always tell a great business by their return clients. While you can't see everyone's pictures, you can see they have galleries and a lot of them are return clients. She has great packages too. I've had 2 grandchildren and we've used the baby plan for both of them. We used her as our daughter's wedding photographer, and for senior photos. She's so versatile and is easy to work with. I'm so glad I found her and will continue to support her and her business! #alyssafilkinsphotography
