Abben and Lily are not only incredibly talented photographers, but they are all around kind, fun,…read morewarm souls who were extremely flexible when the weather rained (pun intended) on our engagement photoshoot plans three times. They were very accommodating each time we got rained out with picking out a new date. They went the extra mile in the planning stage, from scouting out a potential photoshoot site ahead of time, to suggesting times when our photo shoot location (the Arb) would be less crowded, to helping brainstorm ideas to make the photoshoot unique to us. My fiance and I are not big PDA people and were feeling a bit awkward and nervous about doing a photoshoot in a public space, but from the start, Abben and Lily made us feel comfortable. Day of, they helped directed us in natural-looking poses and providing fun suggestions that had us laughing, which made for some wonderful pictures and good memories behind those photos. Abben and Lily both have a fabulous artistic eye for photo composition, and they truly listen and integrate your goals for the photoshoot. They make the photoshoot unique to you. After the shoot, their downloading interface is extremely easy to use, and they are prompt in their photo delivery (ours were delivered in little over two weeks). In terms, of price, they are a true steal for the high quality work they do! We are so happy and feel very blessed to have had Abben and Lily document these memories for us, and would have hired them to do our wedding too if it were taking place in Michigan. These two are gifted artists, and we heartily recommend them to everyone!

Full disclosure, the "Abben" of this photography duo happens to be my talented brother. But know…read morethat with his attention to detail, his knowledge of DSLRs, and his eye for aesthetics, I would be giving this business a 5-star rating after my session with him even if he had been hired as a stranger. So Abben, my fiance at the time to whom I was newly engaged, and I all happened to live in different states - which made scheduling an engagement photoshoot difficult. So what better time than a shoot on the sandy beaches of the Dominican Republic while on a family vacation? To avoid unflattering shadows, the best times for a shoot are sunrise or sunset, and sunrise is definitely easier to have the beach of a resort all to yourself. But alas, cloudy weather for the only two mornings we had free! Abben not only woke up at 4:00 two mornings in a row with us but dealt with the tricky situation like a champ. After processing the photos, we were really impressed with the adjustments he had made. And speaking of editing, let's just say a long bike ride and insufficient sunscreen led to some awkward tan lines all over my back and shoulders that he also magically erased like a pro. Note that even though Lily wasn't able to be there for our shoot, normally both photographers would be present for double the awesomeness. That makes their pricing an amazing deal because most photographers would charge extra for another camera. Abben & Lily's style tends to be more posed for something like a photoshoot but more photojournalistic for an event. This is helpful for those who aren't trained models (most people) or maybe even hate being in front of a camera because you'll receive great instructions so you feel less awkward. And for an event, they'll blend into the background but still get all the pics you need. Look through the portfolio for these two and you'll see that they pour their hearts plus all their creative juices into their work. The only reason we didn't go with them for our wedding photography was that Abben was in the wedding party, and I wanted him to enjoy himself at the wedding. Otherwise, I couldn't recommend these two more!

Ron did some new head shots for me, and I'm super pleased with them. He's professional, warm, and…read morehighly competent. He understands the importance of producing a natural expression, and he worked with me to achieve that! Our session produced several great shots that I'm using on my website and elsewhere.

I used John, from JD entertainment as the DJ for my wedding. He was fun, professional, and was…read moreable to match the music to the mood of the event. He was funny, and he has the ability to get people to dance. (I'm sure the open bar helped). He has video and AV equipment available as well (DJ and videographer). I needed a slide projector last min and it was great to use an existing vendor (rather than search for another person). He had it, brought it, and presented it better than I had en-visioned it myself. What a relief! My parents, whom I"ve never seen or heard of dancing at anyone's wedding, was forced by my brothers to dance, and they stayed and danced a couple songs. It was great. He set the right tone and mood to the event, and we had a great time. My wedding was a mix of grandmothers to ringboy dancing, and they all had a great time. The ring boy said he has the most fun dancing. My mother-in-law loved the dancing. I survived 3 line dances requested by my mother-in-law. I'm amazed by John's skill and very happy that I hired him for my wedding. My friend who lives in San Diego wants to hire him, but unlucky for her, he is only in Michigan. I don't regret my choice of DJ.

I recently got married and Tony was my DJ. When I say Tony is the best wedding DJ, I am not…read moreexaggerating. Tony made the entire experience of my wedding, incredible. I still have guest telling me how much fun it was! From the start, Tony made sure that I understood everything that was going on. He gave me a ton of tips and tricks to make sure the day goes smooth, and that I take a deep breath and take a step back to really take it all in because it goes by so fast, and he was right. He worked so well with all of my other vendors and I truly believe that is the reason that my wedding went SO well. If you're on the market for a DJ, JD entertainment is the company and Tony is the DJ! I would book with this company over and over again because I had such a great experience. The dance floor was packed all night. I had a fairly long wedding reception but there was never a dull moment thanks to Tony!

The people in the office are very nice and helpful through the process of choosing your professionals for your wedding day, making payments, pre-wedding planning, post-wedding music selections... they were great on everything! We hired 2 wedding photgraphers and a videographer. They arrived at the location for pre-wedding pictures on time (actually they were early). They gave us very good direction during the photo/video session. In the house we were getting ready they even moved stuff around to make sure we would have great pictures. On the phone conversation with Ilze, our main photographer, I explained to her the big problem I have about having my eyes closed in most pictures. She listened and made sure to check that she had good shots with my eyes open. She was also very efficient through formal family and romantic pictures to make sure we could have the pictures done within our short time frame ( a bit over 1 hour). She was very friendly and the pictures turned out amazing!! Tracy, our second photographer, also did an amazing job! She took great shots of the guys before the cerimony. I also loved how well she captured the details of the decoration in the reception venue.. the centerpieces, the guest book, the cake, the gift table... all the details we spend so much time planning but we barely get to enjoy during the wedding and now we can remember them forever through her pictures. Patruck was our videographer, he was also very nice, from the phone conversation till the end of the wedding. We still didn't receive our wedding video, but i am 100% sure it will be amazing just like everything that Mike Staff have done.
