We were referred to Jenn Tai by our wedding planners. We spent $4,410 for 6 hours of wedding day…read morecoverage with 1 photographer. Our photographer was Kelly Bowie. From the moment Kelly arrived at our wedding it felt like amateur hour. Even though we met with her in advance of our wedding and sent all the details in writing, she "forgot" pretty much everything we discussed. For example, Kelly forgot to bring the list of family groupings for the family photos. Kelly also forgot that we needed seating for disability accommodations during the family photos and chose a location that required our elderly and disabled guests to walk down a hill and then stand outside in the August heat for almost an hour with no place to sit. Additionally, during the ceremony Kelly's presence was very distracting. We were in a small greenhouse with multiple entrances where she could have easily walked around the guests to get from one point to another but instead she walked down the aisle and in front of our guests multiple times during the ceremony. If it's possible, when we received the photos we were even more disappointed in Jenn Tai Photography. There was a real lack of attention to detail that was visible in the photos and that you expect a professional photographer to be aware of. For example, in several of the photos you can see phones visible in pockets, hand sanitizer clipped to belts, etc. Also, some of the key photos were overexposed and as a result faces or images were so light that detail was lost. We brought a lot of these issues to the attention of the company owner, Jenn, who did her best to address our concerns during post-production editing. Jenn's customer service was great and we know that she worked hard to try to correct the issues. Thank you, Jenn, for doing your best to fix our photos. Overall, we're still not happy with most of our wedding photos, but thanks primarily to Jenn's post-production work we have a small percentage of wedding photos that we love and will cherish.

WOW! There are not enough words to properly explain and gloat about how wonderful our experience…read morewas. Jenn was the highlight of our wedding vendors. We interviewed a handful and felt an instant connection. Not only is she super professional and great at what she does, she makes being photographed fun and easy! She photographed both our engagement photos and our wedding. For our engagement photos she made both of us feel super comfortable not only in front of the camera, but also packing on the PDA at Sculpture Park lol. The photos were fantastic and really did capture who we are as a couple! Fast forward to our wedding. She was super organized, able to keep our family in line (it can be like herding cats) but most importantly, she was super inclusive to all of our family and friends. Our photos are beautiful and candid. Looking at them makes you feel like you were there on the day. We will recommend Jenn to all our friends and family and continue to use her as our family grows! Did I mention she's also hilarious. You'd be doing a disservice to your event not to hire her!

We were so taken with Meryl's photographs of our newborn that we asked her to photograph the babe a…read moreyear later as well. In both cases, we wanted to document what life was like at the time: washing baby's bum in the sink, wrangling her into a diaper, dressing her while she pulled clothes out of the drawer, playing "upside-down baby," her delight in the swings at the park, the mess of meal time. So, we were looking for a professional photojournalist. Someone who could see a great image in the middle of the action and get it. Meryl captured the beauty in those everyday moments. Or maybe she made them beautiful. The photographs are truly a treasure. Meryl is super laid-back, with a dry sense of humor, which makes the shoot feel easy. Her rates are more than reasonable, and she doesn't hold the photos hostage or force you into a preset print package. (Or act like the photos are more important to her than to you -- like one studio photographer who declared, "I don't do sepia," in discussing how to fix overly cold print tones.) If you're looking for beautiful photographs with minimal attitude -- and if you value actually good photography, rather than the most images for the cheapest price -- choose Meryl.

Meryl is an amazing and very talented photographer. We've worked with her twice now - once for…read morenewborn and then again for infant photos, and I cannot wait for our next session with her! She takes very natural, artistic, and simply wonderful photos. Especially her black and white work is phenomenal. I'm always amazed how she captures us "in the moment", and she always surprises us with some natural, real shots that we didn't even notice her take! - Like a surprise detail shot or a shot from an unexpected angle! If you want authentic and artistic photos that aren't overly posed or staged, she's a wonderful photographer! We've sent a number of prints to our families and they all adore her photography. And she's fun to work with! She puts us at ease and the sessions are light and fun!

I generally don't like getting my photo taken (or I guess I should say I don't like to pose). She made it easy and I had a lot of fun throughout the process. Most recently I hired her to take pictures of my daughter and niece. She came to our house and took great casual and candid photos, which can be challenging with two young children (ages 3 and 8 months). We were super pleased with the pictures and feel that she really captured their personalities well. I trust her to take the kind of photos I desire, but also trust her professional opinion if she suggests something different. She is professional, easy to work with and unpretentious. I can't wait for the next time we hire her!

We wanted a photographer who wouldn't be interested in the "cheese ball" shots and would best capture our personalities (we're weird enough when we aren't awkwardly posed). She worked well with a variety of crazy, loud, weird people to make our day look as magical as it felt. There is a small fee for paying with a credit card, so I do recommend having the cash funds available when you can.

Stephanie was a great photographer for our big day. When she found out we didn't have a wedding…read moreplanner during our initial consult meeting, she also gave us some great tips/hints, which led us to feeling a little less overwhelmed with it all. During that first meeting, Stephanie made sure to walk through the general look and feel of what she'd be doing during our wedding. We went over a pretty comprehensive list of family/group shots that we wanted, and she assured us that the day was going to be special. When she showed up for the day of the wedding, she was prepared and professional and definitely knew how to handle two anxious grooms who were running around making sure everything was good for the festivities. My partner and I just let Stephanie take the reins for how our photos were done, and I'm sure she would have preferred a *little* guidance, we're so glad we did, because her ideas were better than anything we could have come up with. Also, having that list of group shots was so important, because it made taking pictures with all of our family and friends fly by. As for the ceremony and reception, Stephanie was adept at blending in/not being noticed while capturing all the memories we could hope for. The pictures have been fantastic, and I don't know if there's a better person who can take two awkward guys, put them in what seem like awkward poses, and make beautiful pictures. Thank you so much Stephanie!

Becky shot our engagement photos last year and our wedding back in March and the photos are almost simply a BONUS to how much fun she was to hang out with! It felt like having one of our best friends right alongside us on our big day. We wanted our photos to be fun, playful, and casual with an artistic spin and a little bit of an edge. The shots she got + the edits she made are pure gold. Every single photo is a work of art. Becky made us so comfortable and gave just enough direction so that we we could initiate good shots but weren't super posed/staged and were able to capture authentic moments. Her website says your photoshoots will be "with flare, with style, with ease" and that's honestly the best description. Her ethics are also top notch: she prioritizes gender and racial equality, cares about sustainability, and treats everyone with respect - all of which were very important for us in choosing our wedding vendors. If you're on the fence, let me just reassure you: Becky is the BEST and you'll be so happy you booked her.

She is flexible, friendly, easy to work with and always professional. I had two different sessions with her; one of which was during freezing temperatures with a ton of snow and she still worked diligently even under the extreme weather conditions. She has a creative eye and sense of style in which she can turn a regular photo into something unique and extraordinary. I appreciate the time she took in preparing props for the photo sessions and all the different ideas she had to create one-of-a-kind shots. My pictures arrived quickly and they are absolutely gorgeous! I loved them so much that I had to enlarge one to a 20 X 30 canvas to hang on my wall. She also took my bridal shower pictures and I can't thank her enough for capturing the memories for my special celebration. Melissa's dedication and passion for photography shows through her work. She is committed to providing the best service and photography sessions for her clients. I would definitely work with her again and can't wait till our next photo session!
