We booked Emily for family photos on the beach in New Buffalo. There were 15 of us, 5 were kids 5…read moreand under. And Emily was absolutely amazing. She was artistic, patient, and captured our big family beautifully. She helped us with poses when needed but otherwise she encouraged us to be ourselves and then she did her magic to snap our most authentic selves. I am already planning the next time I can book with Emily again.

Steve and his assistant Rachelle did a great job for my daughter's wedding. The weather failed to…read morecooperate so we were forced indoors for some of the photo-shoot. Steve turned the difficult location into some very nice pictures of the group. As we were leaving, the weather cleared up briefly. He grabbed the bride and groom and got some BEAUTIFUL outdoor sunset shots. His prices were fair and the pictures were delivered on time as promised. I'd definitely consider using Midwest Photgraphics again in the future.

Being an amateur shy "model" in my beginning phases I had no idea what to expect when I reached out…read moreto set up a photo shoot with Chris . As I had other photoshoots but as I would later come to find out none like this . Not only am I a beginner I am a plus size model that comes with its challenges one of the biggest being my insecurities and self esteem issues . But I would soon come to find out that this wasn't just anytype of photoshoot and just some photographer trying to pass time taking photos as a hobby to build a portfolio. He was invested , professional, and most importantly for me compassionate. The compassion was a big piece for me because of the insecurities and self-esteem issues about my body but that quickly melted away it wasn't even like a photo shoot it was like it turned into an artist painting on a canvas and as such things went smoothly just like that from there . It felt like the whole world had just disappeared in that moment as I posed with the air slightly hitting my face with my eyes closed . It was the most beautiful part of the shoot ( the bedsheet and bed poses ) . Time and time again I come across my photos and I relive the moments of every shot I took with Chris. I can honestly say I cannot wait for what the future holds and to have this experience again would be amazing . I have never felt so good so alive so ...I mean I can't even in words tell you really I want it all over again...and again and then some ....

Christine Bonneur and her sister Miriam did a fantastic job on our engagement photos in South Bend,…read moreIN this fall. We purchased their Michiana.com Deal which offered 1 family photo session at any location in Northern Indiana/Michiana with a High-Res CD of photos (including all printing rights) for $30.00. The original value of this deal was $60.00. Christine was so easy to work with when scheduling our engagement photo session at Notre Dame and we were surprised when she and her sister each with a camera in hand arrived to meet us on Sunday afternoon. They were professional and put my fiance and I at ease taking the photos. Christine had great ideas for locations around the campus and captured neat candid photos throughout the session. Within 10 days we received the High-Res disc and 75 great photos from our engagement session. We were easily able to use the photos from Christine to create our William Arthur save the date cards - they turned out beautifully thanks to the detailed professional work of Christine and Miriam. I would recommend Christine Bonneur photography to any bride or family in need of a photographer in the South Bend area!

The name has changed, but the inside is still beautiful. There are only a handful of vendors…read moreinside, but there's a decent little restaurant/cafe and a burgeoning home brewing supply store that seem to keep this place going. It's a great place to take the kids on a cold rainy day too, with lots of space to walk around. If you ask, you can probably go all the way to the top of the cupola and get a neat view of Elkhart county farmland. They have an outdoor farmer's market on certain days when the weather allows and even have a few concerts lined up over the next couple weeks. There are a few shops on the second floor along with an area for kids birthday parties and another area for receptions. The food from the restaurant has always been good (Boars Head meats) but it will take some time to get your food as there are only a few people running the show. Everyone is friendly and helpful and if you're into brewing beer, cider or making wine their brewery supply shop is well stocked and probably has anything you could need. This is a neat place and definitely worth checking out!

Beautiful and clean. I ate a buffalo burger which was delicious. It was one of the best burgers I…read morehave had in a while. The prices were a little high. I will definitely return.

Wow what a wonderfully different D J !…read more I went to my niece's wedding in St. Joseph, Michigan. When I heard she was having a D J for music, my first thought was that this would be just another D J. How wrong was I. I seldom dance at weddings. I leave the dancing to the younger people, but the MADHATTERS had me, my wife and everyone out on the dance floor and LOVING IT. What a FUN party. If you want music, entertainment and a great time at your event, CALL THE MADHATTERS. Carole, thank you for a great time at your wedding. Love, Uncle Joe

Diana is amazing!!!!!…read more I got married here and wouldn't recommend anywhere else! She sets up the decorations, and helps you plan, she protects her brides wants and needs, and genuinely cares. The venue is affordable and well worth more, the lights and swing are such great picture points. The gazebo is a amazing ceremony location and lights up at night. They are always adding to, the bears are amazing and of course!! The chapel!! Is air conditioned and all decorated. The venue comes with a spot for dj and also a fire pit and tables. The owners are amazing people and the prior reviews are not appropriate for what I have witnessed. She genuinely just wants each and every bride and groom to be happy. Much love. Mikaila and Zach Parrott
