The first was rainy and overcast and the second was very bright. Bill was able to improvise and efficiently produce a great product. He always knew how to position us and what scenery looked best. Most importantly, he made us feel comfortable enough that we could be our genuine selves - and it shows. Bill's quality and value were unmatched and he was very responsive. Aside from each other and our guests, our wedding photographer was our favorite part of the wedding.

Just as I expected, all things came out beautifully. Jason even dressed up in a tuxedo to look as good as everyone else. Everyone loved having him around and he was an absolute blast interacting with everyone. We received our pictures recently on disc and I'm very pleased with all the pictures. I'm glad to have been referred to Jason years ago and I look forward to using him for all things important in life: Yelp events, personally, client events, etc. Highly recommended... parties, weddings, engagement photos, food, etc.

He took engagement photos for my fiance and I at a wine cafe and they were exactly what I was looking for as a preview for our winery wedding. So much so, we are taking him with us to our destination wedding in CALIFORNIA! :) He is a caring, easy to work with photographer that is focused on his rapidly growing business. I would definitely recommend having All You Photo take any special occasion photos for you and your family! You will not regret it!

I'm an event planner. My bride booked with H2O in March 2025 and the experience was a mess from day…read moreone. There was constant confusion about venues, timeframes, and what was actually in the contract. Multiple people answered the same phone number and clearly weren't talking to each other. The bride paid for extra hours of venue time and they had no record of it, but they cashed the check. Changes to the contract were handwritten, and one staff member would say something was in effect while another said it wasn't. We asked for a clean copy of the contract and a detailed breakdown of what we paid for. Neither happened. We later found out our main point of contact, the same person who told us to call him directly with anything, wasn't even affiliated with H2O. By the time we realized how bad it was, canceling would have meant losing all the money already paid. Then came the wedding weekend. The bride checked in Thursday and there was an extra room on her tab she didn't book. It got removed at checkout, but how does that even happen? She had a 3-bedroom suite Thursday through Sunday and a second suite Friday to Saturday. Both paid for. Staff claimed she had no reservation for the second room on Friday even though she had a receipt. Saturday morning, the day of the wedding, housekeeping showed up trying to clear out the second room because it was on the checkout list. She had to prove again that it was paid through Sunday. We had also been asking for additional parking passes for vendors. We got two completely different answers from staff. On the morning of the wedding the bride woke up to an email chastising her for asking. That same morning, a 5K race shut down the surrounding streets. The city ran the race, fine, but the venue obviously knew it was happening and didn't have the courtesy to tell us. Vendors found out late or not at all. Hair and makeup were delayed. Our videographer lost the entire prep portion of the day. That footage is gone forever. The H2O coordinator we worked with never showed up, never called, never texted. Total silence on the wedding day. The DJ, hired by H2O, had technical issues during the ceremony. We handed him a Bluetooth speaker so we could keep moving. He couldn't connect to it. We gave him the bride's phone with the playlist and all he had to do was press play at the right times. He still played the wrong songs. This carried into the reception with his own equipment, where the wrong song played three times in a row even after we walked him to it and selected it for him. He'd been given the song list multiple ways: text screenshots, a Word doc, an Excel file, sent weeks in advance and again the Thursday before. A guest ended up taking over the music. The bride told everyone to leave 2.5 hours before the scheduled end time and reconvene at the after party. Her wedding reception ended early because the music was unsalvageable. To top it off, the bride overheard two staff members in the elevator talking trash about "the customer asking for extra passes." They didn't realize it was her. This wasn't bad luck. It was a pattern. Disorganization, no accountability, no follow-through, no apology. I will never recommend H2O to a client. Save your money and your wedding day.

Maria Grace was the best vendor we could have hired. She was a complete joy to work with, from the…read morehiring to the final product we never had an issue, she made the process easy. Some vendors can make you feel like every email is a bother to them, not with Maria she was incredibly attentive and responsive to every email or phone call, usually replying within minutes. We used her for our engagement and wedding photos, both sets of photos turned out amazing, and we received them in record time. My fiance and I had a bit of anxiety being the center of attention but she made us feel completely at ease from the start. Her second shooter for the wedding was her husband Nathan and he was just as wonderful as she was. We would hire them again and have recommended them to all of our engaged friends. This photography team is well worth the price and they will make you feel like a part of the family by the time your wedding is over.
