Jim was so friendly and easy to work with. Honestly, he made the process of hiring a vendor extremely easy. He went above and beyond to create the background on the photo strips (thank you to Sarah as well) to mirror the theme of Bailee's wedding. She actually said, "someone who understands my theme"... At the reception, wow! Jim was so warm and friendly, set up/break down happened quickly and we enjoyed his participation with our group. We had all ages, Jim was so patient with our young guests, well actually, with all of us, lol. Besides the props, we were surprised by the extra photo book to add our photos and the ability to write in the keepsake book, it added to Bailee and Corey's special day so much! The service, props and quality of the photos was fantastic! Thank you again Jim! Brenda

The photographer is so patient and great with kids.. which makes taking Santa photos less stressful. They take lots of photos, are open to fun ideas, and really capture natural smiles. I love that you can review and pick your favorites and they offer several package options. We booked our session online and this year the session was $35, which included a 4×6 magnet and a cute goodie bag for the kiddos (coloring book, little toys, snacks). The studio is clean, welcoming, and has gorgeous sample photos on display that show all the other types of sessions they offer... teen portraits, senior photos, creative shoots, and more. If you're in Spokane and want great-quality photos with a friendly experience, definitely check out The Creative Catch Studio.

The owners and staff are all so friendly and helpful! I can't recommend them enough!! After experiencing their fun photo booths at events all over Spokane, from print outs to GIFs and roaming booths to 360 degree booths, my husband and I knew we wanted Electric Photoland to be part of our wedding. You always know it's going to be a great event when Electric Photoland is present! The online booking form was straightforward and user friendly. Their team was also responsive via email and phone call when we had questions. We booked their "Romr" (roaming photo booth) for our wedding welcome party and we loved having a high quality gallery of photos from the event in real time! The photos included a customized event photo frame that we worked with their designer to match our event signage and fit with the aesthetic of our wedding photo booth. The "Romr" is shot on a mobile phone paired with a professional flash and run by an attendant. Sophia ran our "Romr" and she was wonderful! Our guests had immediate access to their photos via a QR code. For our wedding, we booked their glam booth with extra prints for our guest book. We chose the "Taupe" background (which has a nice gold hue without being too shiny, distracting, or reflective). I love that we have high quality photos of our guests in our wedding guest book that we will always be able to look back on and see the faces (and outfits!) of our loved ones. I also loved that we could fully customize the type of prints (we chose two photos on 4x6) and design. It is so great having physical and digital images from the night! Having their "Romr" out on the dance floor at the end of the night resulted in some of my favorite photos! We were considering using a film disposable camera service but this was so much better, as their Romr photos on the dance floor gave a "film" vibe at a higher quality, without having to wait for film to develop. Overall, I would highly recommend Electric Photoland! We received so many compliments about the experiences and have loved reliving the event via their photos!

We hired Amp'd to do the lighting for our wedding reception at the Marie Antoinette ballroom. By…read morefar and away, Amp'd was our favorite vendor and best surprise of the night! We were initially reluctant to hire a company to do "lighting" for our reception because we weren't sure if it would add anything to the room. My mom kept pushing, so we finally reached out to Amp'd. Amp'd was very professional and very reasonably priced. They gave us tons of options for lighting and accommodated every single one of our requests. The room was done up beautifully with soft blue and purple hues that added so much elegance to the evening. My husband and I both agree this was the best money spent. Also, for a European cafe/bistro flair, Amp'd strung lights between the balconies of the Marie Antoinette room, so it was as if we were dancing under the stars or cafe lights, etc. The pictures from the reception are absolutely gorgeous, and I thank Amp'd for all their great work! I cannot recommend enough. Also, they consistently worked within our budget, which was a huge plus. We had originally spoken with another lighting business, who, when we asked for price ranges, said "If your dad is Donald Trump, I can make it as expensive as you want." Needless to say, we did not go with that company. Thanks, Amp'd!

In my quest for a wedding photographer, I turned first to Yelp. (Of course!) But near the small…read moretown where we were getting married, there were very few to choose from, except for photographers who specialize in cheesy senior photos. So I expanded the search to Spokane, and came across LaDuke Photography. I was impressed with what I saw: a) competitive prices and package options b) wedding experience, with a portfolio showing... c) unique shots I contacted Lacey and was relieved that she still had our wedding date available. I also learned that she now lives in Eugene, OR, but considers herself a 'traveling wedding photographer,' so she'll get to your wedding, no matter where it is! (With some extra cost, of course) A few months before the wedding, we set up a skype date to meet her face-to-face and talk details, like whether to take photos before or after the ceremony, and how many hours we'd need them. We also met Nate, Lacey's business partner, who would also be photographing the wedding. They really made a point of getting to know us and our vision for our photographs. We exchanged Pinterest contact information, because how else can you plan a wedding these days? When the big day rolled around, Lacey and Nate came to the rehearsal the day before so that they could see the Church and the reception venue and get ideas. We chatted with them for a little while do go over the schedule for the day, and it really eased my mind about how they whole thing would work out. On the day of, they showed up right on time to photograph us getting dressed. We took wedding party photos before the ceremony, which in my book is a good idea because you don't have to stress about getting everything done afterwards, and it cuts down on the anxiety of the ceremony. (Plus, it's just an old wives tale that it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding...right??) I don't want to go on and on about all the details, but suffice it to say that Lacey and Nate were very on top of things. They got photos of all of the people, events, and details that we asked for, and added their own creative ideas for shots and poses. I was most worried about the family shots, since my family is huge and disorganized, but it was actually a breeze. They didn't spend hours getting everyone lined up perfectly, so everyone looks relaxed and casual, which is just how we are in real life. Bonus points for giving the bride a snack in the middle of the after-ceremony shots. They must have known not to let Alli D get hangry! The turn-around was very fast in getting our photos back. Lacey was posting 'teasers' on her facebook page within days, and all of the photos were up on her website right after we got back from the honeymoon. We're so happy with how they turned out, and now just have to decide how we want to best spend our photo credit on her website. Check them out if you want! http://gallery.ladukephoto.com/strick

Everyone suspects a teenage girl may be hard to please when it comes to senior pictures.... because…read moreof this we were delighted to see our teenage girl so happy with her Senior Pictures from Lacey LaDuke. Lacey is the real deal photographer - we reviewed her online portfolio and liked her shooting style, then hoped for the best. From our very first contact, Lacey communicated very professionally in advance of the shoot - sharing some location ideas and also trying to get a feel for our teen daughter - she seemed genuinely interested in making sure our daughter was really happy. The photo shoot was a great experience - Lacey helped our nervous daughter relax, helped coach her on different looks and frankly, made it a fun experience. As a parent, I liked Lacey's flexibility and photography expertise - while also having very reasonable prices. I was pleasantly surprised that the online portfolio wasn't just her very best photos - they are very typical of what you'll get - many great shots, not just a few - she has a gift for pulling good images out of a person who may be nervous. We particularly liked her artful eye for color, angles etc - not just a boring image - but a nice eye for creating something a little more memorable. Would we recommend her? Absolutely yes - a great experience, great prices, fabulous photos - plus a really fun experience. Will we user her again - definitely. check 'em out: http://gallery.ladukephoto.com/p882495466

My husband and I were hesitant about engagement pictures. More so that the pictures would look very staged and awkward. Dylan made us feel so comfortable, like hanging out with a friend. Her relaxed style captured candids that we absolutely LOVE. We of course booked Dylan again for our wedding pictures. Our guests told us throughout the day she made everyone feel so at ease while taking pictures. We were so glad to have her and team be apart of our special day. Dylan has a great eye and captures not only people but architecture, guests, and overall environment. We can't recommend her enough and are looking for excuses to book her again :-)

Maybe a random reason to pick him, but we soon found out it was one of our best choices in wedding vendors. Joel was simply amazing and from the moment we had our meeting, we knew it was fate. Joel got to know us in our meeting; well enough to choose the perfect songs for our reception. He played music we requested and music he thought fit us as a couple, and boy did he hit the nail on the head. I cannot say enough great things about Joel, but I know that I will recommend him, hands down, to all of my friends.
