Erin has done many sessions for us in the last year. After a bad situation with another…read morephotographer she met with us and then did our engagement session two days later only a couple days before Christmas. After being blown away with those we had family pictures done and after finding an incredible location my entire family fell in love with her. Fast forward to my wedding and I couldn't have asked for a better person. Her sister was the second photographer and they make an incredible team. They went above and beyond all day helping and making the day easier. Talk about the pictures!! Erin sent an extra gift with our personalized flash drive and then made an amazing album just by telling her my favorite ones. Erin made an ordinary pose in the middle of a cow field beyond amazing! I will be booking her for yearly photos for as long as I can!!

Karen has been our family photographer for over a decade! She's done our engagement photos,…read more wedding photos, newborn and family photos! She has always done an amazing job! On our wedding day, the power went out and she and her staff still did an amazing job with our pictures. She offers a wide variety of packages that suit our needs, as well as being available at different times to take our pictures. She has fut us in last minute and has also been understanding when we had to reschedule for sick kiddos. She is great with newborn photos and totally understands it takes a ton of time to get the right ones without being pushy on time constraints. She always does great with our kids, even when they were in terrible moods and didnt want to take any pictures. We love Karen and have even bought packages for our family members as well.

Lasting Memories by Karen Republic Missouri…read more Absolutely the worst experience I've ever had. Unfortunately, it also happened to be my wedding. I ended up choosing Karen for my wedding photography because she was one of the few who offered two photographers and no time limit for your wedding day. Most photographers I found at the bridal show charged extra per hour. Leading up to the wedding, we sat down a couple of times (when we could manage to get a hold of her), and wrote out a plan for what was the most important to us and what we weren't focused on. Let's take this moment to point out that I did not get ANY of the photos that I told her were most important to me. This included any pictures of me walking down the aisle with my dad. Not one photo. I have to comment on the fact that it rained the day of our wedding, and Karen was willing to meet us at a later date to do some outdoor photos without extra charge. That was the only positive I have. But it was a huge positive that I have to give her credit for. Although she did tell us that she didn't mind taking them because she's always wanted to take pictures in Hammon's Field. So it was mutually beneficial. After the wedding, it took us over three months to get any pictures from her. I would have completely understood this, if they had been edited in any way. The only reason we managed to get these at all was because we ran into her in public. Not one photo had been edited at all. At that point, we asked her about edits, which had been a part of our contract, and she told us to go through the pictures and pick out the ones we wanted her to edit. From that day, almost three years ago, we have never heard from her again. We picked out the photos, tried to contact her via cell phone, work phone and email and she has never responded. I even called her a couple of times asked if we happened to not get all of the photos, since there were none of any of the moments we have specifically asked for. In addition to her failing to uphold our contract and omitting important pictures, she snapped at multiple friends and family, bringing more than one to tears. She caused one of my family members to have to leave the room because she was being so hateful. Also being extremely rude to a family friend who was trying to help with the day. The photos we did receive were not decent quality, and we have had multiple people comment on this. We've ended up relying on photos that guests took on their on cameras for phones. Those are the only picture of our wedding that we even use. Overall, I would never wish this experience on anyone. Do anything you can, even if it means paying double, to make sure that you get decent pictures on your wedding day. This is something that I can never get back and it breaks my heart every time I see someone else have wonderful wedding pictures. No one should have to be this upset when they think about their wedding day. I've held off on reviewing her for so long because I was hoping to eventually get something else from her or to get some photo edits. But as the three year mark of our wedding is 16 days away, I've accepted this will never happen.

I'm honestly surprised there is a negative review. My now husband and I meet with Beth over a year…read moreago when we were newly engaged, and were looking through a lot of names of photographers. We had discussed 3 most important pieces of our wedding was a good photographer, good food, and DJ, we went to see Beth, and I was skeptical of Kearney street, and after visiting we just new she would be awesome, and fulfill our hopes of finding a great photographer, and it was the best price around!!! We reserved the day we met with her. Beth did our engagement photos, bridal photos session, and wedding. When we did the Engagement photos Beth had the perfect park for us to go to, told us how to stand and where to look, completely made us feel at ease. She was calm, cool, and collective at all times and made it easy for us to laugh and enjoy the moment. On the wedding day her husband Tim was the second photographer and it made the day stress free. She kept us on time and in line, gave ideas of what to do, where to take pictures and to top it off we received our pictures 5 weeks after our wedding!!! So many of my friends got married and waited half a year for photos. Every photo they took from our engagement until our wedding day we have rights to, the wedding ones are online for family to be able to view, plus on discs and jump drives! The package we ordered had engagement wallets worked into the price, and we decided we didn't want those but wanted thank you cards with wedding photos on and she was more than willing to work out the price difference so we had very little extra to pay but our thank you cards had an awesome wedding photo on them! When and if children come I know who will do the maternity, new born, and family pictures!

SHORT VERSION since the number of problems I wished to explain was too long for Yelp:…read more1. Our experience with this company ruined our video experience from our wedding day and they withheld services we paid for to capture our special day, which we will never get back. I will say Beth took good photos of our wedding day, which is the only positive, even though that has been way overshadowed by everything else, in my opinion. 2. DO NOT BOOK BETH'S PHOTOGRAPHY for videography. Unless you're interested in paying a lot of money for not what you asked for or agreed to in writing (oh and waiting along time to get it). Long story as short as I can make it: We wanted videography services with NO EDITING. I e-mailed them for a quote 11 months before our wedding. Their response was that they could do it for $600 for 4 hours or $800 for 6 hours. I e-mailed them back and asked, "Does this include 3 camera angles?" to which they responded "Yes 3 cameras during ceremony the rest of time it's just one capturing the events." That is the ONLY conversation we had about videography with the exception of our contract where Tim wrote 6 hours videography $600 (again, an oversight/mistake on his part). When we went to pick up our wedding photos, we noticed that we only received video from 2 angles. We called Tim and asked him to include the 3rd angle on the CD when he mailed us the bridal session photos. He proceeds to tell us that we did not pay for 3 angles and so we only get 2. Also let me insert here that 1 angle was behind my husband's head, zoomed in on my face for the entire ceremony. The other angle was behind the arbor/altar area where you can see only the back of the preacher and us (from 10 feet away) and can hear nothing (no view of the special readings that were done during the ceremony or close-ups of any of the guests). When I sent Tim a copy of the e-mails we had sent back and forth and the contract and invoice, he said that the amount we paid and were quoted was actually for only 2 camera angles. This is obviously contrary to what was stated in the e-mail when I SPECIFICALLY ASKED if there would by 3 cameras and he said YES!! He sent us a CD in the mail twice with video angles we already had, drawing out the whole situation. He did not offer an apology or a refund or even state that he made a mistake during that time. We saw a 3rd camera (a Go Pro) in some mums at the front of the aisle facing us from the perspective of the wedding guests so we knew there was a 3rd angle. After over a week of arguing back and forth through phone calls and emails (and over 8 weeks after our wedding), I called Tim and he said that the 3rd camera we saw was actually not a video, but a backup camera for photographs in case something went wrong with the cameras, so there is no 3rd angle for us to get. So, we have 4 hours of coverage (which equals less than one hour of actual footage we received) from 2 angles even though our contract said 6 hours for $600 and the email we received said 3 camera angles. 3. DO NOT GET BOUDOIR PHOTOS DONE HERE! I was given a CD with someone else's boudoir photos and a video from someone else's wedding so there is no concern for your confidentiality!!! The CD we got with the 2 video angles also included a video from SOMEONE ELSE'S WEDDING!!! So for the second time, there was a breach of confidentiality and I was given another bride's photo/video. 4. After arguing with them for 2 weeks about how the situation with the video should be handled, we were given a $200 refund (out of the $600 we paid), forced to sign an agreement saying we wouldn't slander them (so rest assured, this is all factual information), and forced to forfeit the 8x8 photo book we paid for as part of our package. 5. The only reason we booked them in the first place was because their website listed that in the $2000 Artistic package we purchased, the boudoir and bridal sessions were included in the cost which was great for the price, but turns out they aren't actually included according to Tim so GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!
