Ashley told us exactly what to do and gave us so much direction all while being very personable and funny. We felt very comfortable and we were laughing the whole time.

Overall, great experience for something we were (honestly) not totally looking forward to. 10 out of 10 recommend!

I highly recommend him for any photo needs.

I recently visited the One Eleven Collective in support of a friend (I'm already married). I can…read moreconfidently say it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by the warm and inviting atmosphere of the shop. The decor was elegant yet inviting with ample room for friends and family to be comfortable while browsing. Cassandra (owner) was very helpful throughout the appointment by listening to the needs of our party and considered all details of the event to choose variable yet appropriate options to try on. Our entire party felt more like honored guests rather than just another customer. I appreciated that she was patient and encouraging, allowing to try on a variety of styles without any pressure. The selection of dresses was impressive, featuring a range of designers and styles to suit every taste and budget. I was particularly drawn to her collection of gowns that I haven't seen in any other local boutique which felt unique and special - many of which I could see myself wearing to a non-wedding event like a holiday party or special night out. The prices were somewhat of a surprise, being more affordable than most shops I've visited. The fitting room was spacious and comfortable, with ample mirrors. If you're in search of the perfect wedding dress that is unique to you, and a personalized shopping experience, I highly recommend visiting this lovely boutique. (Excuse my face in the photos)

Let me tell you about this wedding dress dream shop! I was invited to an exclusive sneak peak to…read morethe grand opening and it was STUNNING. This shop provides private appointments, it was chic with an extensive, and luxe variety of dresses for all price ranges. The owner, Cassie, provides a private appointment with thoughtful recommendations that make you feel like a princess. Her ability to tailor to your wants and needs while giving you the confidence to step out of your comfort zone is unmatched. I think if I wanted to try on every dress in the store she would have let me. If there was a feature I didn't like about a dress she provided multiple tailor options to make me fall in love. If you're in search for a personal experience for you and your wedding party this is the spot. Anyone looking for the perfect experience in upstate NY - this is it! Albany just gained a beautiful gem!

Her warm, relaxed energy created such a fun atmosphere. I actually ended up really enjoying the experience! The photos she captured were stunning, both playful and polished.

If you're looking for a portrait photographer who is skilled, kind, and genuinely understands how to make people feel comfortable in front of the camera, Betty is your girl.

I HIGHLY recommend Sean for your photography needs!! I can't rave about him enough. He took the…read moremost phenomenal engagement photos for my fiancé and I. They were everything I could have ever dreamed of. Sean suggested the perfect location for us. Pretty much read our minds as to what we wanted! He made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire shoot (which he generously gave 2 hours of his time for - and even drove an hour to our shooting location!) We ended up with 187 beautiful final edited photos and he even offered to make alterations to them if requested. His prices are so reasonable considering his incredible talent and quality of work! From start to finish, Sean was amazing to work with. Don't hesitate to book your shoot with him. You won't regret it and will have photos you will cherish forever!

He made us feel comfortable getting our pictures taken all day long and made sure to get memorable photos (like when a bouquet accidentally got thrown into the chandelier lol). He was energetic throughout the entire wedding and a pleasure to have around on our special day.

I have had the great pleasure of knowing Lily for over a year. She was the one and only…read morevideographer I callEd when I made the decision to have videographer for my wedding. We spent about 2 HOURS on that first phone call. She took the time to get to know me and my fiancé, learn about our families and our life. She invited us out to her hometown for a BONUS engagement shoot. The photos from that shoot are some of my FAVORITE photos I have of myself and now husband. Leading up to our wedding, I did not hire a coordinator (because it was in our backyard), due to this my timeline was a little disjointed. Lily came swooping in and ORGANIZED everything last minute. She coordinated with my other vendors to make the day flow smoothly. Her management of a wedding day was never interpreted as "unprofessional." It comes from a place in her heart of wanting what's best for her brides and providing a heartfelt product. Lily/Gardenhouse Films work is unprecedented. I sometimes go back to her website and watch videos because her work is so darn beautiful, timeless and breathtaking. Her use of video and music captures each couples unique vibe. Gardenhouse Films price point is right on par for talent of her caliber! As someone who debated not having video, man oh man I am SO GLAD I DID. I go back regularly to Lily's Video and relive the day! She also keeps in touch. I find it so incredibly touching that Lily has reach out regularly to check up on myself and my husband. We are both healthcare workers on the frontlines of this pandemic. Lily has reached out to check up, send us information on how to stay healthy and even has sent us homemade masks!!! I mean WOW! I not only gained a vendor but a friend! Weddings are stressful! I repeat WEDDINGS ARE STRESSFUL! Events occur that are completely out of our control. I had things occur during my wedding that caused us to lose money. I changed my venue and lost substantial money but the terms were clear in the vendors contract! Instead of going on Yelp! And having myself and my entire family slander a persons name and livelihood, I accepted it as a life lesson. It saddens me that during this crazy time, instead of rolling with the punches and appreciating/supporting each other, there are people out there attempting to spread ill will for small businesses just trying to get by. The multiple poor reviews given to Lily are all referencing the same occurrence. It is clearly a misrepresented attempt from a disgruntled bride and her family grasping at straws to obtain control and bully a small business owner by manipulating social media. I can only imagine how difficult a time it is to be navigating the wedding business waters but Lily's policies are on line with what I have heard from many friends and colleagues who are in similar situations. So please. Check out her work! It speaks for itself on so many levels! I WILL be using Lily and Gardenhouse films for EVERY life event for the rest of my life!

From minor decisions I needed help with that weren't even related to photography, all the way to major decisions like song choices and floral arrangements! She was very flexible and graciously worked within my budget, allowing me to have the beautiful photos of my wedding and family that I had always dreamed of but hadn't been able to afford from any of the other photographers I found. She also did amazing engagement photos, for FREE, and included a lovely video of the wedding that I will cherish forever. Lily goes above and beyond to accommodate all your needs and desires. She even brought extremely special wedding gifts for my husband and I on our wedding day! My day and the memories of that day were made all the more perfect for me because of her involvement in it. Her photography is amazing, and she truly does it with a passion I admire. I can't recommend Gardenhouse Films enough!
