Do not hesitate to secure Holly and Jim for your event!…read more Great, quick communication before, during, and after our wedding. Totally put our minds at ease. Handled the suboptimal conditions (mud everywhere, glaring sun, high winds that knocked things down) at the venue with ease and grace. Didn't even know they were there unless they were talking directly to us (stealthy!). Captured so many gorgeous photos and fun candids. They took our preferences into account- we got the types of photos that were important to us (and more!) and they were in the style we hoped for- natural, did not look heavily edited (and if they were you'd never know it!). Video clips and 1 min video montage were WONDERFUL. Many guests have commented how nicely they captured the essence of our day. Having both of them there was perfect - not only were they able to catch both sides of the wedding party getting ready in separate locations, but also the different angles of the same moments. We will enlist their services again for other events. They were fun and friendly and helpful, and we cannot say enough about Out of the Ordinary Photography!

I HIGHLY recommend Sean for your photography needs!! I can't rave about him enough. He took the…read moremost phenomenal engagement photos for my fiancé and I. They were everything I could have ever dreamed of. Sean suggested the perfect location for us. Pretty much read our minds as to what we wanted! He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot (which he generously gave 2 hours of his time for - and even drove an hour to our shooting location!) We ended up with 187 beautiful final edited photos and he even offered to make alterations to them if requested. His prices are so reasonable considering his incredible talent and quality of work! From start to finish, Sean was amazing to work with. Don't hesitate to book your shoot with him. You won't regret it and will have photos you will cherish forever!

Sean photographed our wedding yesterday and was incredible. He was professional, talented,…read moreencouraging and punctual. He made us feel comfortable getting our pictures taken all day long and made sure to get memorable photos (like when a bouquet accidentally got thrown into the chandelier lol). He was energetic throughout the entire wedding and a pleasure to have around on our special day. Sean estimated a quick turn-around time on getting us our pictures and while I'm excited to see them, I have no doubt that they will be stunning. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to using Sean Russell Photography again.

We gave her a shot list of what we had wanted and she was open to doing some fun shots too. We had found some inspirational photos on Pinterest that we wanted to try to recreate, and she was excited and willing to do it. Our detail shots of the decor, came out beautiful and also our posed photos of a more traditional nature. She has a passion for photography, and it comes through in her work!

In today's market, photos of a house are much more important than they were years ago. If you don't have good photos, you are neglecting one of your greatest marketing tools. Sarah and Tom are professional, artistic, responsive to emails, texts and calls. They know how to maximize the shot for each room and outdoor area. They have suggestions but they also listen diligently to my suggestions and the wishes of my seller. The photos are beautifully done and these two pros are a pleasure to work with! I highly recommend S&T to anyone in need of photographs where second best just won't do.

They spent a ton of time with us the day of the shoot and took an outrageous amount of photos. They were very patient with my almost three year old, unruly doggies and husband! I love that they went to the site ahead of time and made a plan to where and how they wanted photos done. They had visions for family and doggies, family without doggies, couple, father and son, and mother and son. They even brought a shawl for the couples section. They were great with distracting my son. Their editing is superb. Having the two of them made for fantastic shots close and far away. We received edited photos in roughly two weeks which is a very short period of time considering the amount they took and the quality of the editing. We are so excited to have these photos for memories and gifts. Would absolutely recommend them and look forward to working with them again in the future.

She went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed, and captured all sorts of things we were so happy to see after the fact. She was also AMAZING with our pup and flower children. : ) We are thrilled with our sneak peek photos, can't wait to see the full set in a few weeks, and honestly just want Steph to come visit us in Brooklyn to hang out. Thank you, Steph, and can't wait to see you again sometime soon! REVIEW FROM ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS: My partner and I are so so excited to be working with Stephanie for our wedding next year, and she gifted us an hour of engagement photos. We happened to be in town for one day this week, and she moved mountains to be able to meet us for a session. And y'all, she was AMAZING -- she took us from awkward-giggly to having a blast just hanging out together. We just got the sneak peek preview, and they're so great...we look like us, but the very best, happiest, and prettiest versions of us. She was triple prepared with backups on backups in case of surprise weather, made us feel so comfortable (especially important for us as a queer couple) and -- get this -- she even brought us coffee when we rolled up. Hero status. PSA: Book Stephanie for your wedding or literally anything else (headshots, engagement pics, etc.) -- she's the best decision we made in wedding planning and we're so excited to see her again!

I found this photographer and asked her a couple of questions about the beaches we would shoot on since I'm not local. She was very unresponsive and seemed to be offended I asked her questions about the seaweed in her beach photos. Again little to no response. After a week I asked "Are we on?". Finally she responded with I should find another photographer since the beach she shoots on is "not what I want". What?....I never said I didn't like the location, I just asked some questions about what beaches she shot at and emailed her that I was fine with whatever was the prettiest beach. Customers aren't allowed to ask questions about shoot location? Her pictures on her website are not even that good to be honest, she's definitely a novice, but I figured for a quick mini shoot it would be okay. But WOW, couple that with terrible customer service and $295 for 20 minutes for mediocre photos?. Buyer beware...
