He's an absolute pleasure to work with and he takes amazing headshots. He gave me a ton of variety and tailored the session and shots to exactly what I wanted and was looking for. Afterwards, he sends you the photos almost immediately and you get to look through them or select one or multiple to get edited, based on the package you purchase. I highly recommend him for any headshots or magazine shots! He's the BEST!

Darren was great. I needed a quality headshot for work and contacted him through his website…read more Minutes later I got a reply and schedule availability. He really was extremely accommodating. I was down at his SoWa studio two days later ready to go, and sat down with him. He showed me some samples, and talked about what I needed from the headshot. He took his time and listened to me, made some suggestions, and really wanted to know what I needed and wanted. He guided me through "how to stand" since I'm not used to posing for professional pictures, and what to do to make the picture the best I could. It was appreciated. I had my proofs within a day, made my selections, and had the final copy within hours of that. Darren is professional and really made the whole experience great. Thanks again, Darren!

Bruce did the engagement/save the date photos for my summer wedding. It was a rainy, dreary, cold…read moreday instead of the sunny, cheery weather I had wanted. Despite conditions that would put a damper on most people's moods and creativity, Bruce was such a great sport - he came up with imaginative photographs that captured the quirky, fun-loving theme we discussed. He has a knack for finding just the right angle, background, pose or spontaneous shot. Bruce made my fiancé and I comfortable in front of the camera (a big challenge) and had us laughing and smiling the whole time. The end result was a collection of hilarious, touching, and beautiful photographs that capture our personalities to a T. I could not recommend Bruce Spero Photography more highly.

Bruce took a series of family photos for me (myself, my husband, and my then-4 month old). He is…read morevery unobtrusive and lets the good shots come naturally. He's also passionate about photography and it shows. The end result was a great collection of high quality photos - more traditional shots as well as funny, sweet candid shots, which ended up being my favorites from the day. I highly recommend Bruce - you'll get a fun, low key, no-stress experience, and the photos won't come out looking like every other staged shoot you see these days.

Michael shot our wedding in September. We fell in love with his pictures and there is no doubt…read morethat he is a talented photographer. However, I cannot recommend him, in spite of his talent. A month after our wedding, Michael Blanchard emailed me (not even a phone call!!!!) to tell me that he had LOST ALL OF OUR WEDDING PHOTOS. His hard drive crashed and he never backed our pictures up. Further, we paid him extra to cover the wedding with traditional film, and he simply reneged on that part of the contract. Needless to say, we were absolutely heartbroken. He obviously felt bad and he paid us back in full, but that was beside the point. Our wedding photos were all gone. :-( On top of it all, he made a weird comment about my half-Asian husband's Asian family...it was definitely a racially insensitive remark -- ridiculous and offensive. I would never trust him to do any photography and I would recommend that if you consider using him, keep looking. I think he needs to rethink his career. I hope he never gets another photography job again. He doesn't value contracts and he clearly doesn't take his photography gigs seriously. If he did, we would have our wedding photos.

Michael is very talented and I am very happy to have utilized his services, he is worth every penny.

We had a ~85 person wedding in Boston which we planned from across the country (in LA) and we…read morewouldn't have been able to do it without Elena and her team. Elena handled all of the booking and management for almost all of our vendors. She kept us on task with everything we needed to do even though my wife & I often missed deadlines. There was an online planner that we collaborated on so we always knew what needed to be done and understood all the moving pieces. Her team handled all of the design and production of everything which made both the event and planning much more carefree. Elena is very knowledgeable with all the different vendors we could work with in every area and was happy to also help us find others when there was something specific we were looking for. On the day of, her was very helpful as things came up to help us adjust the schedule and coordinate with everyone involved. The guests loved all the unique elements that Elena's team help us coordinate and set up like the specialty coffee cart, postcards + mailbox as a guestbook, ramen station for late night food, etc Looking back, we truly got to be present and enjoy our day because Elena and her team had everything under control. Our wedding day ended up even better than we imagined and is undoubtedly one of the best days of our life. If you're planning a wedding, hire Elena - you'll actually get to enjoy your big day!

Fall 2023 Boston wedding around 250 people. Booked for 1 year, ~10k. To be fair it was a hard…read morewedding - cultural nuances with the both of us being out of state and having demanding jobs. Positives: -fair price for full year, set up vendor meetings, good Save the Date designs, good bridal party makeup/hair, wedding painter, and florist suggestions, good communication with maid of honor and best man day of. Problems: - no organization/foresight. She procrastinated booking vendors. Her reasons: unresponsive vendors due to busy wedding season. When my husband or I contacted vendors, we got quick responses. My husband and I booked most vendors. - Aside from Catherine who left, never met other coordinators prior to wedding day. - No running budget of who we owed money to & amount. Did this ourselves. - Frequent loss of info. Most notably, she forgot we had party buses. Then tried to tell us we told her we didn't want party buses. - Save the dates and invitations were sent ~5 months later than deadline. We have guests from out of state and country needing advance notice to make arrangements. So we ordered/mailed save the dates and designed wedding invites ourselves. We got no communication about designs for wedding invites so did it ourselves in contrast to what she claims. - No communication for months. When we asked for weekly meetings, she lied saying it was not included in our package. Pamphlet we were given prior to booking clearly states unlimited meetings for full service. - Elena was unprepared and ~25 min late to the rehearsal. There was traffic and others were late too. Rehearsal was longer than necessary because we repeatedly corrected her. She then blamed me for sending her a "different timeline" even though this was a common shared timeline she made herself. We were ~45 min late for our rehearsal dinner. - On the bus on the way to the ceremony, in front of the entire bridal party Elena asked me about our balance not being paid for the limo. - Elena did not attend the ceremony and we were not aware prior. She stayed at the reception hotel. Our venues were booked one year in advance so all parties were aware of the locations of our ceremony and reception. The coordinators at the ceremony should have attended the rehearsal because they were clueless. Coordinator wasn't aware that she was supposed to cue us from the bus to the church until a bridesmaid told her. She then lined up the wedding party out of order which they fixed themselves. - My cousin was the one who came to church early to turn on lights and heating. - Coordinators gave no instructions to the choir. My husband and his parents walked down the aisle in silence after being told to start by the coordinator. Josh wanted a song to be playing. Later, Elena blamed my husband for going ahead "too early" and said "it happens" when he complained. - After our ceremony ended, there was no signal to walk out. Yes we practiced our entrances/exits but that was more for the order of walking in. There was no music or choir during our rehearsal and even though Elena had the list of songs we were playing for our entrances and exits, you still need to coordinate with the choir. So yes, you DO need a cue in order for the wedding party to exit, as we've seen at other weddings. My priest asked where the coordinators were. Nowhere. After an awkward silence, the choir randomly played music so we could walk out. - Biggest mistake: At the rehearsal, my husband and I emphasized that it was important that wedding party exits church then immediately returns through side doors for pics in the church. When everyone exited the church, the coordinators lied saying that the plan changed with bride approval (how the hell do I give approval while I am in the ceremony?). So all were directed outside without proper instruction. Most left. The coordinators mentioned that there was no time for photos, but we ended up being fine with our schedule. - the coordinators were inside gossiping instead of taking care of the chaos they caused. My bridesmaids + partners coordinated with bus drivers to get everyone off the buses and line people up on the stairs for bubbles. - we were rushed by the coordinators for our post church park photos again because of "time." I didn't pay ~15k to our photo/video just to skip this. - When lining up for the reception, Elena made no effort to find my missing parents. - Elena lined the wedding party up by our church order for the reception entrances. Bridal party and DJ corrected her. Overall the day went fine thanks to our families and friends. I was stressed the whole year. Every time we brought up an issue, it was made to seem like it was our fault or it's normal.
