I don't think there are enough positive things that I can say about Megan. My husband and I do not…read moreconsider ourselves to be "photogenic" at all. However, Megan made the photography process truly enjoyable. From our engagement pictures to our wedding pictures, she made the entire process hassle and pain free. Megan truly listened to what we wanted and was also there to offer suggestions and input of her own, which we truly appreciated. She is extremely responsive, helpful, and organized. Due to COVID, we were constantly shifting our wedding plans and Megan was there every step of the way. Although the day itself was very different than we could have every imagined, Megan captured it beautifully. We love the brightness, colors, and natural beauty that Megan emphasizes in her photography; I truly feel that I am "there again" when I look at what she captured. To summarize, we are extremely pleased in our decision to use Megan Rei Photography. Her prices were competitive and her service is top notch and professional. If you are looking to capture life long memories with an emphasis on color, brightness, and natural beauty, (and have a blast while doing it) look no further! Megan is your gal!

I have known David since I was a little girl when he worked with my dad. David always has a bright…read moreand funny personality and can get along with just about everyone. When I graduated from James Madison University, my family and I decided to have David take my graduation photos and they turned out fantastic. He really has such an incredible eye to capture the best photo. Most recently, David was my wedding photographer this past August and he did such an amazing job. Not only was David there for every single photo opportunity but even helped get the wedding moving on it's correct schedule and getting people to where they needed to be. He was like my own personal wedding day coordinator and photographer in one. He spent plenty of time with both myself and the groom and the families to make sure no shot was missed. After the wedding, David and I decided to do a photo shoot with my horse and those pictures absolutely blew me away. He is able to work in any setting without difficulty. When the photos were ready for my family and I to view, he came over to my house and spent almost 2 hours with us, going through every photo and what ones we wanted in the wedding album or as prints. David even surprised me and gave me my very own USB drive with all of the photos on it. If you need someone to do personal portraits, weddings, or even animal related photo shoots, David is your man!

What a nightmare experience. I would give Taja and Sweet Little Notions zero stars if I could as…read moreshe didn't even show up to my wedding nor did she let me know that she wasn't coming. When I first booked Taja in Jan (for an October wedding), she was wonderful! Super responsive and friendly and she worked out a price/package to fit our needs. She even emailed me during the summer to check in and asked for my address so she could send me a little gift. I never received anything... not even a response to my email. Two months prior to the wedding, I was trying to reach Taja to go over final details and to figure out where we would be taking wedding photos. All my attempts to reach Taja and her assistant, Stephanie went unanswered for weeks. Day of the wedding, Stephanie informed me that Taja's flight back to DC was cancelled and she didn't arrive in DC until 6:00 am (my wedding started at 5:00 pm) so Taja wasn't coming. However, Taja did send a replacement photographer (Images by Geneva) who was wonderful and we could not have been happier with the substitute. The photo booth we had at the wedding was great and all our guests loved it. We were able to customize the design and text on the photo strip and guests even had the option to send the strips directly to their phones. They provided plenty of props for the photo booth too - this was easily the best part of Sweet Little Notions. After the wedding, I reached out to Stephanie to see how long it would take for us to get our wedding photos - understanding that combing through and editing thousands of pictures takes time. I was extremely thankful for Stephanie during this time as she was quick to respond to all my messages and always followed up with Taja for me. On November 20th, I FINALLY received a message from Taja herself. She apologized for "being not so responsive/accessible" and said that she was hand editing all our photos and would have her favorites over to us that day (which she did). Prior to Nov 20th, the last time I heard from Taja was Sept 25th. (Our wedding was Oct 25th). The communication, or lack there of, was horrendous. Things I had already discussed with Taja such as where we were looking to get pictures taken, wedding colors, size of wedding etc were not passed on to Stephanie and I ended up having to re-explain everything to Stephanie 1 week before our wedding. The pictures we received were good. However, it seemed like we were missing a lot. Since receiving our wedding photos, I have emailed Taja 3 times and have not heard one word from her or Stephanie. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this company. They consistently miss their own deadlines they give to clients without any sort of follow-up. Their lack of attention to detail, poor communication with each other and their clients, and inability to respond to emails/calls/texts in a timely manner (or respond at all) caused so much unnecessary stress and anxiety.

Very poor experience. This is a long one so I'll make my main point first and share my experiences…read moresecond. Look, you're going to have some unusual difficulties getting married during a global pandemic. Do yourself a favor and hire vendors who will make the process and the day less stressful....not more stressful. THINK VERY CAREFULLY ABOUT WHO YOU SELECT. Also, read reviews carefully. This vendor has numerous glowing reviews for her PHOTO-BOOTH on websites like weddingwire.com and theknot.com; that's what fooled us. If you check reviews of her work as a wedding photographer instead of photo-booth operator, I think you'll get a better understanding of what to expect from her photography. This was our experience. After our initial meeting, we could not get in contact with this Taja or her assistant Stephanie for nearly 3 weeks before the wedding. When we finally were able to get in touch, she declined to scout the ceremony or reception sites (even though she previously stated that she would), saying she was already very familiar with them. We took her at her word. Taja took very few shots of the bride getting ready and many of these shots were very grainy/hyper-sharpened. Stephanie took some good shots of the groomsmen getting ready. Our wedding planner was on edge and pretty blunt, but not demeaning. Most of the vendors remained professional and a few expressed concern later. After an incident during the first look, Taja began bad mouthing her after she left the room. This was in earshot of the bride and groom which was hard for the bride because the wedding planner is a personal friend. When it came to actually shooting the wedding party after the ceremony, Taja seemed to have trouble finding good spots to shoot and composing her shots at each location. When we brought up the photos we sent of locations and poses we wanted, she responded as though she had no idea what we were talking about (even though she had previously confirmed receipt of that message and those images). She ultimately brought us to a side alley outside of the church and proceeded to do the entire shoot there. So nothing with the wedding party at the alter or in front of the beautiful pillars in the sanctuary or by the beautifully carved and grandiose wooden front doors....just a side alley. When we told her that was not what we wanted she told us that she needed to head over to the reception and we could take more photos there. This was a bit bizarre because we were about 15 minutes ahead of schedule thanks to the pastor's conciseness. Unfortunately for us (again), she was 2 hours late for the reception (a 20 minute drive from the church). Yes, she told us she got lost trying to find a venue that she previously stated she was very familiar with. Stephanie was there on time so we started shooting with her while we waited for Taja. We told Stephanie that we wanted to start with the venue locations and poses we shared with Taja (Which again Taja had confirmed). Stephanie informed us very apologetically that Taja never shared any of that information with her. So we had to go over it all again. When Taja did finally arrive at the venue she came with excuses, not apologies. We weren't able to address this until later in the evening. When we expressed our displeasure, she defensively stated that she didn't even get a chance to get something to eat like she was promised. Which was even more problematic for us because we still had to pay for it. All the vendors were informed to bring questions or concerns to the wedding planner or event coordinator. She chose not to eat and then blamed it on us. She then complained about ALL of the venue lighting and ultimately offered a $50 discount. It wasn't until things were winding down that she told us that she was "more of a natural light photographer" and "preferred to shoot outdoors". After the wedding, it was very difficult to get a hold of Taja to find out when our photos would be ready. When she finally got back to us she told us 2 weeks. She missed that deadline. When we asked about that she said another two weeks. She missed that deadline. It took over 2 months to get all of our photos. The pictures we know Stephanie took (Groomsmen shoot, poses taken while Taja was running 2 hours late) were good. Most of the rest were very grainy, out of focus, washed out and/or over-processed. These are not usable when blown up larger than a thumbnail due to the poor image quality. I honestly wish Taja had missed our wedding and sent a replacement photographer like Belinda T. said she did for her in her comment. At least then an awful experience could have resulted in good photos. Fortunately, there were quite a few guests with a real knack for photography at the wedding. Their cellphone photos were a Godsend! Yes... you read that last sentence correctly.
