The main thing that I liked about her photography is that it's not ordinary. She has a background in fashion photography so her photographs are really unique (and not in a weird way). She works well with different angles and settings and stuff that makes any photograph one of a kind.

The images have more than documented my daughter's growth over the years, they are beautiful artwork that we use to decorate our home. Many of our friends and family members have followed us to Colleen Cahill Studios as a result and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for the best quality in professional photography.

I was so impressed with all of the organization, information and communication we received prior to the wedding. Tracy also coordinated other hair and makeup artists so the entire party of us could be ready for pictures and the wedding. I went first with Tracy. I have never felt more beautiful and my daughter was absolutely stunning . I received so many compliments; it really boosted my self confidence as an older mother of the bride (I am in my late 60s). My neighbor said he hardly recognized me and he has been my neighbor for 30 years! Tracy9 stayed for touchups before pre-wedding pictures so we would all look fresh and just right. I highly recommend Tracy for your special event!

We arrived for a scheduled…read moreappointment, but the session was ended by the business shortly after arrival due to concerns about a cough. The appointment was canceled by the provider; the gratuity was refunded, but the service fee was retained despite the service not being completed. Given the high costs associated with wedding services, I recommend reviewing the contract carefully, reading reviews (both positive and negative), and clarifying how cancellations and refunds are handled in situations where the service is canceled by the business so expectations are clear and stress can be avoided on important occasions.

I hired Kelli for my July 2022 wedding. Ultimately, I found her to be incredibly rigid, hard to…read morework with and unreasonable. I think she probably sees herself as a stealthy business woman, making sure to look out for her own best interests (which would be something I can appreciate). However, her inability to compromise or even communicate clearly when a resolution is needed are not the qualities of a good small business owner. What's really frustrating though, is that after all her shortcomings on the business side of things, she absolutely does not make up for it in the realm of talent. When I initially experienced how cold Kelli can be in her emails, I thought "well, if she communicates this poorly but still has good reviews, she must be REALLY good at what she does." No. I will leave it at that--the answer is no. I thought about writing out all the details of my experience with Kelli, but then this review would be way too long. I will just say that by the end of my interactions with her I had given up. Every email she sent left me feeling more upset than the last, and I didn't want that kind of energy leading up to my wedding. Rather than seeking a fair resolution or any of my money back I chose to just pay her the remaining balance owed, take the services she was willing to give me, and then never talk to her again. To you, Kelli: I get that you deal with a lot of weddings and contracts all the time. But for me, this was my wedding. It was a very special day for me. And I wanted to be able to talk to you, as a real person and as the artist that you claim to be. Instead, I got a cold robot who quoted the contract at me every time I tried to have an open conversation about what I needed. It made me feel like we were at odds instead of being on the same team. There is a difference between being direct and being abrasive. You can be direct and still be friendly. In the end, when I told you I was upset and why, the attempt you made at having a warm, positive tone came across as insincere and condescending. Also, the fact that you didn't even check your own contract before mis-quoting it at me repeatedly added a whole new layer of confusion to our already frustrating communications. UPDATE: A day or two after I posted this review Kelli emailed me reminding me of a clause in my contract regarding reviews and asking me to take this review down. (Everything else that was said in her long email just solidly reinforced my previous experience of her.) I was aware of the clause and am not in breach of it, so will not be removing my review. It makes you wonder though, if there have been other poor reviews that went unposted due to that clause.

She was deeply invested in understanding what I wanted to achieve with the shoot and made sure those objectives were front and center throughout the process.

This is a long overdue review. Meaganne did my hair/makeup for both my engagement shots and my…read morewedding a few years back. She did an amazing job. I loved her philosophy - which is to make her clients look like the best version of themselves, as opposed to caking on makeup in a way a bride would probably regret - and thought she executed it perfectly. I felt beautiful on my wedding day, and thought my makeup looked 100 in the wedding photos. Equally important, she made me feel totally at ease both times we worked together, was very open to feedback, and was just plain fun to hang out with. For brides who aren't getting married in SF proper, Meaganne is willing to travel, which was super helpful. My wedding was in Los Gatos, and Meaganne didn't bat an eye making the hour+ drive, and navigating her way to our off-the-beaten-path venue. I think she may charge a small fee if she needs to travel more than a certain number of miles, but it was nominal and on par with what other makeup artists charge. I highly recommend Meaganne for your hair and makeup needs!

Meaganne is an absolute doll! She did my hair and makeup for me, my bridesmaids, and my mom for my…read moreSeptember wedding in Calistoga. I had trial sessions with a couple other professionals in San Francisco, but once I met with Meaganne, I was hooked. I'm pretty picky about makeup - I don't wear foundation and HATE the feeling of having something caked on. But Meaganne knew exactly what to do to make me feel natural, confident, and ready to get married! She makes you feel and look like yourself and not some made up version of a typical bride. When I found out she also did hair, I gave her a try and loved every style she tested on me...it was honestly hard to choose! I received so many compliments on my hair and makeup, and have since given her name to several people. Her prices are incredibly reasonable (far cheaper than the other trials I had), especially considering her level of talent. Not only is Meaganne incredibly talented, but she's a wonderful person to work with. She's kind, patient, and just an all around genuine, amazing person. You end up spending the majority of your wedding day with your hair and makeup person, so I feel it's important to share a good connection. I definitely felt that connection with Meaganne.

She didn't ask for my opinion on anything and made me hate my pictures. But after reading other reviews from people saying she did exactly what they told her to do, I decided to give her another chance.

Yesterday I asked her if it was still on and she didn't respond.
