I used DM as my photographers for my wedding and I want to give them a good review but I honestly…read morecan't. The owners, Bridget and Joe are REALLY nice people and their work has been featured in The KNOT (magazine). When I was deciding on photographers, I decided to go with DM because they were very friendly, nice, and they seemed to be everything I was looking for. PHOTOGRAPHY Before the wedding, we went over everything that I didn't like (ie black and white photos) and everything that I wanted (list of pictures, 2 photographers- 1 being Bridget, tons of pictures, etc). But the day of the wedding I was sent Bridget's sister instead of Bridget (apparently Bridget had sprained her ankle). I understood that Bridget couldn't come but I was upset because nothing that I had relayed to Bridget about what I wanted was relayed to her sister, and on the day of my wedding the last thing on my mind is going over what the photographer needs to do. Unfortunately, Bridget's sister was NOT as good of a photographer. To begin with, she apparently didn't white balance her camera because all the pics in the chapel were orange/yellow. Also, she missed key pictures- ie the entry of the parents/grandparents, the ring exchange, the kiss, pictures of the guests at the reception tables! She also took pics in black and white, which I had specifically asked them NOT to do. Also, DM did not do a good job photoshopping the pictures. I thought that they would at least photoshop the pics so they wouldn't be do yellow, but their photoshopped pics weren't much better than the originals. I was able to photoshop them better and I have no experience with photoshop. I was disappointed in how long it took to get my photos. Another reason I went with them was because they promised to have the proof, pics and photo books done before any of the other photographers. I guess this should have raised some suspicion. The proofs were posted weeks, if not a month after promised. And the photo 'negatives' and photobooks came in a lot later than promised. (I don't remember exactly how long but it was much after the promised time). VIDEOGRAPHY On top of that, a couple weeks before the wedding, Joe called to ask if I wanted them to do the videography at a discounted rate. I had already had someone who was going to do it but DM promised to have the video sooner than the other person and they offered a better price so I had them do my video too. What they failed to mention was that by having them do the video, I lost out on a 2nd photographer. Had I known this, I would have preferred having the 2nd photographer and stuck with my original videographer. I must say that the wedding video was well done and we enjoy it. But the video also took longer than the promised time (months after). And my parents were disappointed because they did not video tape the entire wedding ceremony. So we can not even rewatch the wedding address/sermon. Overall, yes the people at DM are nice. But considering how expensive they are, I was highly disappointed in the end result. Every time I think of my wedding pictures, I think of how much I overpaid for not so great pictures. If you do go with DM, I recommend guaranteeing that you get Joe or Bridget as your photographer if you can. I'm guessing that since they have been featured in the Knot, they have to be better than what I got.

The roses in the arrangement never opened and the ranunculus flowers had brown spots. Instead of just putting them in a vase with water they were all stuffed into a floral foam.

So I do not recommend this florist.
