    Best photographer EVER!!!! Darian is so amazing and knows exactly what she is doing. She made the day so easy. Photography is one of the only things I cared about for our wedding. It will be the only thing we have to look back on in 15 years. Her editing style is timeless which is another thing I looked for. It is natural and captured the pure beauty of the day. Not to mention she is the sweetest. I also did a surprise boudoir shoot with her and she killed it. I would recommend her time and time again

    Where do I even start? Darian is out of this world amazing! She really was the only photographer I'd consider to capture our special day! She did an incredible job capturing every detail and every moment! She brought a second photographer, who also did an amazing job! I've done multiple shoots with Darian before between engagement and boudoirs, and she does such a great job of making you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. She directs you the entire time, so you never feel lost or like you're not sure what you're doing. Aside from her incredible work, she is the kindest human and has the sweetest soul! We love her and can't wait for her to continue capture the moments throughout our life!

    It was a pleasure having Carrie as our photographer. It was a great experience from first contact…read moreto finished product. She gets into her zone and does her magic to get the most beautiful portraits. I am already thinking what milestone she will capture for us next! She took my maternity photos at her studio while I was 37 weeks pregnant. She has a beautiful selection of outfits in her client closet. She asks questions before to get an idea of what your vision is. I always envisioned wearing my wedding dress with my baby bump, and she made it happen. She makes the experience stress free; she is prepared and provides guidance on how to pose. I am forever thankful that she captured that chapter of my life! She also took our newborn's photos at 2 weeks old. I was worried that we wouldn't have the best outcome because our baby wouldn't fall asleep, but once he finally did she did her magic. I appreciated how she moved around her studio like a choreographed dance. And again, she was open to ideas to personalize our session. It's difficult choosing favorite photos because they are all so good! I would even take the unedited photos. Thank you Carrie for capturing these special moments!

    We are absolutely beyond happy with our wedding photos and video! Fernando and Aram were such an…read moreimportant part of our special day, and we couldn't have asked for a better team to capture all of our memories. From the very beginning to the very end, they were professional, knowledgeable, kind, and so accommodating. They listened to everything we wanted and made sure to capture all of the special moments we had asked for--and so many more that we didn't even think about! One of the things we appreciated most was how beautifully they captured our wedding Mass. Those moments were so meaningful to us, and they did an incredible job preserving them so we can relive them for years to come. Our photos and video truly captured the love, emotions, laughter, and little details of our wedding day. Looking through everything brought us right back to those moments, and that is something we will always treasure. Thank you so much, Fernando, Aram, and team for being so wonderful to work with and for giving us memories that we will cherish forever. We would absolutely recommend and refer you to anyone looking for an amazing photography and videography team! You will not be disappointed! Thank you for capturing our love story so beautifully! -- Maricella & Juan

    I searched high and low for someone who could take heirloom portraits for my little one. I…read morecontacted 3 photographers and Cristal was the only one that contacted me immediately through text. Heirloom portraits are more of a southern thing so I sent her inspiration pictures for reference. She said she could do it so I ended up booking her for a session. She had tons of props and outfits to choose from. We decided to go the simpler route and opted for no props with a simple white background. The session ended up being 15 minutes (she said she got THE shot). After about a week, Cristal sent me a soft proof gallery with about 75 photos to choose from. I picked my 12 and texted her feedback on the ones I wanted more/less cropped. She also nailed the vignette on the heirloom portraits; it was exactly what I was looking for! She sent me a second gallery with my 12 picks, also including them in B&W and different editing styles (34 total). Cristal had great communication, and will go above and beyond to make sure you love your pictures! I would highly recommend her if you live in the IE area. One tiny note, 4 photos have a faint line at the top. It looks like the editing filter wasn't taken all the way up. With that being said, not the end of the world and would gladly book her again.

They really take the time to put in the extra…read moredetails that when you look at the photos and watch your wedding highlights reel, you see all those little details you forgot about! We had a very small, intimate backyard wedding. Our wedding photos came out so beautiful and the video highlight reel transported us back to that day, bringing all the feels along with it. I really loved Anne's communication, especially with our phone call a month before the wedding to work out the kinks. Absolutely ADORED her direction day-of. No wasted time and she made us look great in every photo! David was so slick with the camera work as well, half the time we didn't even know he was there! Kim did an amazing job editing our highlight video and really captured all the details in 3 minutes. He synced it well with the music we chose too (Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish). I highly recommend Something New and Blue team to capture your day!!!

    I chose Anne and Dave as the videographers for my March 2023 wedding for two main reasons: (1) they…read moreoffered a video package that I wanted, that few others did, and at a reasonable price. It was really important to me to have a copy of the raw footage from my wedding, because I knew I was going to be too busy to remember the ceremony and the toasts, and all those other important moments. Anne and Dave offered a package that included this footage, and at a reasonable price. The other videographer I had found who offered this was charging an exorbitant amount. (2) I spoke with Anne before hiring her, and I really liked her. She responded to my email inquiry very quickly. When we talked about their packages, she gave me her honest opinion--that, for what I was looking for, one of their cheaper packages would be sufficient. She could have tried to upsell me, but the fact that she didn't showed me that she has integrity. I also just really liked her energy when I spoke with her. She seemed really earnest, cheerful, and supportive. I'm so pleased with the work that Anne and Dave did. They arrived early to the venue and worked nonstop until after the first dance. Our photographer seemed to enjoy working with them, to the extent that I thought they were already friends (but they'd all just met that day). Anne and Dave both had good suggestions for certain shots they wanted, and even recommended some shots to the photographer. Lastly, there was a point before the ceremony where I was extremely stressed and frustrated, and Anne came over under the guise of fixing my necklace, but I think she was also trying to help me take deep breaths. She wasn't being condescending or anything, it was just a natural extension of her calm energy. That moment helped ground me, and helped me feel like I had someone supporting me. I could cry just thinking about it, because she knew what I needed in the moment. We received our highlight video less than 2 months after the wedding, and it's so cute! I'm excited to go through the raw footage next. This experience has been 100% positive.
