Mark is an excellent photographer who continues to WOW me with his work. In addition he is an extremely personable guy. I haven't sent a couple to him that didn't absolutely love him.

He took our engagement photos a year before our wedding and then he and an assistant shot our entire wedding. The books he puts together for both of the engagement and wedding photo shoots were great and we got a disk of all the images as well. Mark was so easy to work with. We originally picked one package and after our engagement session asked if we could upgrade and he had no problem changing our package around! I would use him again and I have recommended him to my friends.

They have used gear in good quality sold at an incredibly fair price and new gear straight from the manufacturers. Their rental program is vast, allowing me to try before I buy from any focal length glass I want to any camera body under the sun without putting a hole in my bank account. Nate and his team run a tight ship and I could not recommend them more. Will happily continue supporting this business as long as I live in the area.

Hey everyone PLEASE READ and share my post to help me resolve my issue and prevent this from…read morehappening to anyone else. I hired a photographer RLopez Photography on 10/25.2014 to take my pictures at our wedding on 7.18.15. We hired him and signed a contract and put down $ 212 for deposit. 13 days till our wedding he failed to meet with us on 2 scheduled appointments that were confirmed hours before. We had to make a decision and ask for our money back since we could not depend on him showing up on our wedding day. We ask for our deposit back he said yes no problem and he understood . He apologized and set a date to come to our house and drop off the Deposit money. He failed to show up and now he is IGNORING all our CALLS and TEXT and not returning the deposit we made. Please share this post and avoid doing business with RLopez Photography No wedding couple or any couple should have to deal with a evil person like him. He is not reliable and robbed me of my money during the most important time of my life my Wedding. I didn't want to judge him on his appearance and we liked his story. We were fooled and he is showing us everything we were hoping he wasn't sad...... I'm depending on social media to help pass the word so this will never happen to another family. Don't get fooled by Ruben Lopez RL Photography. He is NOT a MAN of his WORD and a CONTRACT means nothing to him. I have attached the contract and correspondents we have tried to contact him and we waited as long as we could. He is ignoring us we have to do what we feel is necessary so everyone knows he has no heart and steals from innocent people that work hard for their money. On a side note we ended up having to go out of our budget to find another photographer last min. Very sad that we had to go through this during our happy time. I may never see my deposit back :( lets help other couples not get taken advantage of... PLEASE pass this on....I don't want him to do this to anyone else.

I was so impressed with Vibrant Photography and would LOVE to have them shoot me again (you know,…read morewith a camera). Derek and Shamara shot my wedding and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the portraits they took. The style of Vibrant Photography is modern, they mix photojournalism with traditional photography to create a unique mix of shots that can suit a variety of clients and on top of that they're great people to work with - fun, easy going and very professional!! A big benefit to booking with Vibrant Photo is their prices. There are a lot of other photography business in the area that charge WAY more for their services and you don't get the quality that Vibrant offers. I'd recommend checking out their website and portfolio and then comparing to others in the area - You'll see what I mean! I'd highly recommend this company.

I came across McCloud Photography several years ago at my sister's wedding. After the wedding I saw…read morethe photos and they were outstanding. We meet again at my sister's prom birthday party. I meet Brandy at the party and she seemed nice. They were doing prom pictures for everyone.So fast forward two years and I'm getting married. We shopped around and the last place we look was McCloud Photography. We met with Brandy and Justin in their home which is where they have their studio. They didn't get right to business, they talk about them self and what they do. We looked at albums and there packages. There price were higher then some of the others but they service they provide is worth every cent. We spend a few hours with them and before we left I wrote a check. Then set up a meeting to go over the wedding plans. They provided pizza and drinks; it was a laid back and welcoming environment. They had an answer to every question we had, they asked a lot about us so they could know what we want are our wedding day. They asked so many questions so they could make are wedding special. It was a little over welling but it did help our wedding day. I asked them to shoot are rehearsal dinner and they said yes. They even help set up the night before the wedding. McCloud Photography provides two photographers Brady and Justin. They use many cameras and even have 35mm backups, just in case. They know all their shots before the wedding day. They dress nice and bend in with the crowed. They don't stand out and don't draw attention to themselves. Justin is the extra camera man and he also makes sure the pictures are being backed up. They don't want to lose any of your pictures. After the wedding we followed them to a nice park near the church. We took more pictures in many poses. They even had clear plastic to place under my wife's wedding dress not to get it dirty. When all was said and done they had taken over 500 pictures. The package we got provided us with an album and all the negatives that had been touched up. All the other photographers didn't even offer the negatives. They provided a CD with a release letter so store would print our pictures. They even gave us the name of a printing shop that does great work. All the other photographers charge you for prints and albums. We got an album free with are package. The album was high quality and perfect. We picked the pictures and they put the whole thing together. They kept are picture on file so if we want more albums they can make them. McCloud Photography is hand down the best photographers I have ever seen. You won't be wasting you money with them. They make sure your special day the best ever. Brand and Justin thank you so much!

Simply amazing. Mellissa is extraordinary. I met her at a…read morebridal show (I was SO out of my element here...) and she made me feel immediately at ease. I knew that she would be perfect to capture our wedding day. I'm not usually the type of person to note another's 'aura' or 'vibe', but this is different - I swear! Mellissa has this calm professionalism about her that just takes the energy down to a calm level and allows you to just 'be' in the moment. I was so nervous about the photography part of our wedding. Neither my new husband or I consider ourselves photogenic and just feel really uncomfortable in front of the camera. Mellissa's style was perfect for us. She patiently guided us to poses and used some really neat tricks to evoke true emotion from us both. The best part - once we were in place she just stepped back and did her thing. We both felt like we had all of these moments of private togetherness on our big day. It was the best gift she could have given us! I am beyond thrilled with the final product also. Turn-around time was really quick (much faster than she quoted). The photos were nicely edited down to a reasonable number of photos (around 400-ish, I think) that perfectly told the story of our day - capturing it all without having to click through thousands of photos to find 'the good ones' - they are ALL good ones!! Between the experience and the outcome, I cannot recommend Mellissa highly enough! I will absolutely reach out to her first when the time comes to capture more of our life story (babies, anniversary shoot, I'll find a reason!)!

I've followed the work that Mellissa from Serendipity Photography does for at least a handful of…read moreyears. Just like you follow or admire your favorite artists work. I wished for the day I could use her for my very own engagement/wedding photos. And then that day came. She was actually the second person I contacted to let know that I was engaged and to ask to use her services. So to begin with my experience with Mellissa. She responds QUICK!! She makes you feel like you are number one and very important. When you become engaged and start really planning your wedding, there is NOTHING better than a quick response, someone who is patient, kind, creative, unique and thorough doesn't even begin to cover it, she is so thorough. It is so refreshing! Mellissa is all of this. She is extremely helpful with everything. Even things you have no clue that you need to know about. Location idea's/suggestions, themed photography, outfits, hair/makeup if needed and so much more. She has got you covered! I wonder when this lady sleeps cause she is really "at your service" Working with Mellissa and her talent has been such an amazing experience and I feel so blessed that my precious memories have been captured by her. There are many photographers out there but when you find one that when you view their work and it fills you with emotion and then you actually get to use them, there are just no words. Our engagement photos are finished and I know my wedding day (photos) that is soon approaching will be safe in her hands and beautifully done.
