My fiance and I got engaged in Boston so we thought it would be fun to get our engagement pictures…read moretaken in Boston as well. The only problem was we didn't know any photographers...Thanks to Yelp and Google we were able to find Heather. We are from Pennsylvania so we had a long distance relationship until the day we met Heather for the pictures. Heather was great from day one, she made everything so easy for us and we couldn't have asked for more. Heather was easy to work with and she made us laugh from the first photo to the last. She was very professional and is truly an artist. We visited numerous locations throughout Boston and it was a great time. We will never forget Heather laying in the middle of an intersection with cars honking just to get that perfect picture of us. During the pictures, Heather was giving us great food recommendations for our visits to Boston but we didn't have a chance to write them all down. So about 20 minutes after we left Heather we received a text listing every restaurant we had spoke about from her. We ended up going to one of her suggestions for lunch that day and it was delicious! We can't thank Heather enough for her artistry and professionalism. Heather will come highly recommend from us for many years to come!

Everyone loves Heather, for good reasons! For me, its all about the results. My wife and I hired…read moreHeather to shoot our wedding on August 1st this year, and we couldn't have been happier with the outcome. Our friends and family are constantly commenting on their love for our pictures! Having received all of our photos from Heather, I can honestly say that when you look at her portfolio and see the beautiful sample pictures - this is truly the product you'll receive. We also love that we get all of the images on DVD in B&W and color. It's ridiculous to me that some photographers will limit the number of images you receive or just generally limit your options when it comes to the photos of YOUR OWN wedding ... such is not the case here, and that is really fabulous ... particularly given that you'll want to show the whole world your photos. Hire her.

This is another great place where when we got married 16 years ago their packages were running…read morearound 5,000 at the time, but it included the videographer, the photographer and the DJ. They really do make you feel like a princess on this day as a girl. I mean maybe they make the dudes feel like princesses too. Lol They even help with your gown coming out of the limo when your maid of honor was slacking. They are on time for the pictures you take at home, they even do your engagement pictures for you prior, they make sure that they are professional in that you don't see them "working" in any of your photos or videos because they know how and where to stand to make sure they're not caught in any pictures. They also dress up in tuxedos too. Which is so awesome in my book. And our priest was a real stickler for not desiring them anywhere near the alter, but their cameras and video with the mic, pick up clear pictures and sound (like they're right there) and the only thing you have to worry about as the bride is you are being taped and I so you do say some things that might not be suited for the final draft of your video lol, but they give you the rough cut and the edited. The edited is beautiful... put to songs in many areas, and slowed down in many areas. Amazing job. The DJ, John Wells was AMAZING. I can't tell you how many people wanted to know who he was. My own parents said that he was what made our wedding shine. He's so enthusiastic, he gets the guests pumped, he allows you to put in details that you wouldn't have thought of doing, he plays games that aren't done at other weddings- he was wonderful. We just had my brothers wedding last July and my dad is going deaf so he tends to talk loud, and he said right in front of my brothers in laws "your wedding was better, this DJ is so boring". Lol And honestly it was wonderful, thanks to the team at the Event Connection.

My wedding was in February 2013. The Event Connection was a recommended vendor, and I paid them for…read moreDJ, lighting, and videography. PRAISE: - The Dj, John, was spectacular. Absolutely everyone loved him, and everyone was up dancing the whole night, even my husband's socially inept uncle. He responded to all my needs and double-checked to make sure all his information was right. I can't say enough good things about him. - The lighting was also wonderful and enhanced the day's events. - They gave us a great discounted price for all 3 services. COMPLAINTS: The guy you will work with the most is Richie. He has an aggressive, egotistical personality which you will likely first see when he tries to convince you to buy every service possible from him. Fine, he's a businessman. My problem is how his ego affected his behavior the day of the wedding and the days following the wedding. He did the videography for the wedding. To quote his website: "One of the nicest comments we receive is, 'We love our video and we didn't even notice you shooting it.'" He repeated this sentiment to me more than once, saying we didn't have to worry about him being intrusive. NOTHING could be further from the truth! He acted like our wedding day was his movie to direct. He would constantly ambush people before and after the ceremony with questions they were not prepared or not willing to answer. This created uncomfortable moments that interfered with our enjoyment of the day, not to mention footage in the video that is awkward and simply not genuine. For example, 5 minutes after the ceremony, he barged into me and my wedding party and asked, "How's married life?" Dude, let me experience it a little first! Another example: My dad walked into the room and saw me in my wedding dress for the first time. This was just a normal event that occurred during the day, "behind the scenes." Richie felt the need to hammer us with questions. RICHIE: Tell me what you think of your beautiful baby girl. DAD: (Not prepared) Oh, she's beautiful. RICHIE: Tell me your thoughts when you first saw her in her wedding dress. DAD: What's that? RICHIE: ::repeats question:: DAD: I thought it was just, uh, just the way I imagined her to be. RICHIE: Amazing, huh? DAD: Yup. :weird pause:: RICHIE: Mom, what do we think? MOM: She's a princess. ME: (interrupting) Should I put on my veil? Oh. (turns back to the camera) MOM: She's our princess. RICHIE: Seems like only yesterday you were taking her home from the hospital, huh? MOM: Yup. Time flies. RICHIE: Amazing. ::weird pause because we want him to go away:: This whole sequence was INCLUDED in the EDITED video of our day! Yup, complete with Richie's voice, the awkward pauses, and my dad needing him to repeat the question. There were several other painful moments like this. He also would spontaneously ask us to kiss or do other things for the camera at different parts of the day. He was supposed to capture the moments of the day, not direct and fabricate them! So that comment about, "We never knew he was there," is an absolute lie. You WILL know he is there. He doesn't let you forget it. Let's talk about other unacceptable features of this edited video he delivered to us: He includes us saying our vows and exchanging rings, but then SKIPS right past the kiss! Just jumps right over it with a crappy screen wipe and transitions into us walking out of the ceremony room. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? We took dance lessons and did a choreographed first dance. Unfortunately, partway through, I stepped on my dress and undid my bustle. We finished up the dance as best we could. He included segments of the dance where we are stumbling around. I felt embarrassed watching it. The big kicker is that he included footage OF HIMSELF wearing a silly hat and waving. As if anyone wants to see HIS face! Again, please refer back to how his selling point is that YOU WILL NOT KNOW HE IS THERE. I have lots more complaints, but I have limited space here. Slow motion in the video looks pixelated and awful. Lame screen wipes. He included an ad for his business at the end of the video, with me saying how great they are. They told us 16-20 weeks for the video, then told me they were ahead of schedule and it would probably be 10 weeks. We waited 23 weeks and had to harass them with phone calls to get an amateur piece of junk. Luckily, we have all the raw footage. LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Richie had a few unprofessional moments on the day of the wedding. He also does photography, and obviously thinks he is hot stuff. He disagreed with some choices my photog made and muttered and made faces about it to his assistant. My photog was AMAZING and we have INCREDIBLE pictures. We also got those pictures THE WEEK AFTER THE WEDDING, not 23 weeks after. So suck on that, Richie. And get over yourself.

During that time, she took some professional headshots for me, as well as some 'fun' shots that I'm now using for online dating photos, social media photos, and more.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my engagement photos, and I just got my wedding photos and I do not have words for how stunning, gorgeous, and real they are. I have cried going through them several times. One of my maids of honor also cried going through them. I feel all the emotions of that day in every photo. It's just a warm sensation in my heart. Terria does an amazing job picking the best spots in a location for photos. She really knows how to pick a background that will make a gorgeous photo. Even more importantly, she makes you feel very comfortable when she is directing you. I love the way she does direction because it feels naturally. Even when you are posing, you don't ever feel like you are posing. It really allows your personality to shine through in the photos. Something I didn't think about when picking a photographer, but I lucked into with Terria: she is phenomenal at finding little moments in the middle of your wedding day that are not planned, no posing, and look like its from a magazine editorial. We also wanted to hire a second photographer and the second photographer was also stellar and very professional. Also, compared to other photographers in the tristate area, the price for both Terria and her second photographer were reasonable. She captured everything we wanted and more. I couldn't have dreamed of better engagement or wedding photos. She is so professional, creative, and fun. Hire her. Your personality will shine through and your friends and family will be gushing over how amazing the photos are.

I had also gotten the package that allows Classic to complete my videos and that I would have a…read morefree photo album. On the website, it advises that the customer will have a say in how both of these are completed. While the quality of the photos are great, the way the wedding album was completed was not to my taste. The layout of the photo's were jumbled and they were in a strange order to me. Altho classic has an editing tool, it only allows me to re-size the photos , where I would rather delete them, select my own, and create my own layout. It's not intuitive nor easy to do. And, it has stopped me from ordering the album for myself and for my parents, because I really dislike how it is. Also, my highlight reel, full length, video, were done to a high quality. But my issue is with the music. It was done in a style that does not match my fiance and my tastes. And good music has defined a large portion of our relationship as well as was a major highlight for our wedding. Classic advised on the website that you could have a say in the music but I was never asked, prior to the video being completed. The music reminds me of a commercial jingle. And while three songs were blended together well, my fiancé and I prefer music that matches Neo Soul (Ex: Chrisette Michelle), Classic R&B (Ex: Brian Mcknight) , and Caribbean Soca (Ex: Kes and the band) as my family is from Trinidad & Tobago. When I reached out to classic, they did provide me with the site they get their music from. However, the majority of the music seems to be a fit for one demographic and is not very diverse. The few songs that are R&B and recognizable are old and still did not seem like a good fit. Also, you have to pay an additional amount of money to select certain songs as well. While I love the videos themselves, the music has made me hesitant to share it with family and friends because it does not fit my fiancé and I's personality at all. While I have been highly satisfied by the vendors and most of Classic's other's services. But in these areas where I thought there would be more selections and where I would be allowed to have more of a choice, things have fallen short of my expectations. I may have paid someone more to get what I wanted, had I known this. It has added extra work, and stress to me that I was hoping I would not have had to do, especially after doing so much work to plan my wedding. I may be creating my own album through another vendor, but that will be an additional costs and perhaps not as high of a quality as the one I have from Classic. I'm not sure what other resolution I can find for the music on our videos, that would not cost and arm and a leg to have someone else resolve as well.
