I didn't know what to expect, but Mark was very warm, friendly, and helpful. It made me feel much more comfortable since I was nervous about having so much pressure to get a good headshot! He coached me on poses / looks for many of my photos and I think they turned out a lot better because of it. He has a great eye for detail -- which is definitely needed when the headshot needs to make a great first impression! He also took extra time during the session to make sure I was happy with the photo set and adjusted anything as needed. He's a true pro and I really recommend him for anyone who needs great photos!

Mark is a solid choice. I wanted professional headshots done for the first time, I was extremely…read morenervous about the process. Mark's easy going personality made the process of preparing a breeze. He sent helpful information on picking my attire and answered all of my questions in a timely, friendly manner. Let me tell you, I ask a lot of questions to calm my anxiety. Mark is highly skilled in his craft from beginning to end. He put me at ease with his warm welcome to the studio, his humor and wonderful playlist. He took charge in finalizing my attire, making sure the lighting was perfect, teaching me how to pose and putting a smile on my face the whole time. The end product was amazing. I couldn't have asked for a better experience than Mark gave me for my first set of headshots. I look forward to hiring Mark in the future. One other bonus of hiring Mark, his studio mates have beautiful art around the building.

Examples of Michael Anderson Photography cause for pause as you take in the beauty of the art…read more Michael and Joannie are the only light photography wedding photographers in the United States. Their back to back Knot Wedding awards show how unique and special that these photos truly are. Unfortunately, I wasn't aware of them when I got married, but they captured another special moment for my family. We took advantage of their Best Santa Experience, and I am in awe by the fact that we magically captured a moment in time. Truly, something I will always cherish, but even beyond the gorgeous images the experience of really spending time with Santa is etched in my heart. Thank you, Michael and Joannie, I am forever grateful!

Highly recommended!…read more Bradley was a pleasure to work with and my husband and I are thrilled with how he captured our wedding day. He works in a photojournalistic style, highlighting the emotion and story of the day. In that sense, he's more oriented towards capturing how moments naturally unfold vs. telling Grandma where to stand or creating overly posed, cheesy shots. But the most impressive part of our experience was the way that Bradley really listened to us and matched his approach to exactly what we were looking for. We always felt like he "got it" and overall, he just made us feel really comfortable and confident. We wouldn't change a single thing about the process or any of the shots. It was absolutely perfect. THANK YOU!

I'm not ashamed to admit that I love Bradley Hanson. From the moment we met with him, we knew that…read morehe was who we wanted following us around and getting in our faces every time we kissed. And from the moment he showed up at my hotel as I was getting ready, I was immediately put at ease. All of the tension of waiting for the big day to happen dissolved when Brad and Mitch from Cabfare Productions (videographer, look for that review) showed up. They were so much fun to work with. I was actually sad they couldn't stay for the whole party. And on top of being fun and easy to work with. He's efficient and professional and also incredibly talented. Our pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined. Bradley was there to capture every important moment of the day. Most importantly, he managed to sneak in and catch us being ourselves. There were so many moments that could easily be swallowed up in the blur of the day, but Bradley froze them for us to revisit for a lifetime. We couldn't be happier with our pictures.

Joe gave a great amount of focus to getting to know us and our story first, making sure that he could capture and thread that story through his work. Joe is very laid back, easy to work with, and delivers high quality & beautiful work.

With not much notice, my firm hired Jonathan to do a photo shoot at our annual company-wide…read moremeeting. It was our 60th anniversary year, and after our meeting, we had an offsite reception and dinner at The Bakken Museum. I had met with Jonathan only a few days prior to our event. He showed me examples of his work and gave me several options and offering suggestions of what would work best for our group. While candid shots of the group were good, they were only a secondary concern of mine, because what I wanted to capture was a group photograph of all our employees. Anything else would be a bonus. Jonathan, without any request from me, scheduled an appointment with the Bakken the next day so that he could see and feel what the space would look like and what would work. The day of our event arrived and I found Jonathan getting our group to interact and pose for the camera! Our group is typically reserved, but Jonathan used his people skills and charm to get them do act naturally and have fun! Jonathan was very accommodating with special requests, because several of us who are not shy of the camera would ask to have our pictures taken, and he obliged. When the time came for the group picture, I was so pleasantly surprised the Bakken had a special loft area where Jonathan could go 'above' the group and take several group shots! Jonathan efficiently turned around the pictures in a very short time, and had them available for viewing on a Dropbox account. The pictures were even better than I had envisioned. Thanks to Jonathan's professionalism and skill, we now will have a memory of our 60th anniversary that will hang in each office next to our 50th anniversary picture. I appreciate all the work you did for us, Jonathan! You exceeded my expectations!

From the first "Hey, did we…read morejust become best friends?!" email to the final gallery drop that made us cry happy tears (again), Kasey and Tyler were everything we didn't know we needed. Organized, hilarious, dog-loving photography wizards who somehow made us feel like models and like ourselves all at once. Our wedding photos? Literal art. The experience? 11/10. Would get married again just for more sneak peeks. Officially obsessed and cannot wait to see Kasey and Tyler again soon!!!

We are OVER THE MOON with our final wedding photos, and know that we will see them in the future for our family photos next!! -Fun sessions! - Kasey & Tyler make you feel so at ease! We have not taken professional photos prior to meeting them, and they made us feel SO comfortable & natural. They are fabulous at directing poses, and amazed us how efficient they were in organizing large group/family photos! - Professionalism! - They are extremely efficient, organized, and detailed! From our initial contact with them, we were provided thorough and detailed documents through our entire process. It was easy to make payments through their online system, and also utilize their online gallery. They have clearly done the wedding photo process before....and done it WELL!! Just so easy to work with. - Transparency! - We were a couple planning in the middle of COVID. We contacted Kasey & Tyler about potential rescheduling, and we were so thankful of how flexible they were and how they worked with us. We were updated through any and all situations. It is so evident how much Kasey & Tyler care about their wedding couples!! I believe this is a huge difference that sets them apart from other businesses! - Quality! - THE PHOTOS!! Just breathtaking. SO detailed, SO many shots, and the editing is natural and top-notch. They capture the candid moments so well! - Wedding Day Guidance! - We did not hire a wedding planner....but seriously, Kasey essentially became that on our day! We filled out an extensive wedding timeline planning sheet that we appreciated they offered to us....many things we wouldn't have thought of! Through the entire day, she (& Tyler!) continued to notice the smallest details (ex: necklace position out of place, hair binder on a hand, etc), and was so essential in keeping our "wedding timeline" moving. The day goes by SO fast, but they make sure you're still getting EVERY shot, hugely due to following the timeline so well....while still keeping the bride and groom happy and calm! Our day would have looked hugely different without their help, seriously. - Packages! - I loved that ALL the details were included in their package options and laid out clearly, no questions! The main "items" we were searching for in a package.....x2 shooters, option for more time to be added, engagement session INCLUDED, professional wedding album INCLUDED, and unlimited downloads/prints due to getting the printing right.....CHECK! All of the "must-have's" a bride is looking for.....they have it and again so transparent about what they offer!! And such fair pricing!! Pup-Lovers! - Honestly, this was initially a HUGE draw for us of how dog-friendly they are! We have a chocolate lab and it was important for us to have him there on our wedding day. Kasey & Tyler were both so comfortable and great at taking pictures with and of him! Some of our favorite shots of our whole wedding album are us with our pup! All in all....we legit cannot say enough good things about Studio Twelve:52, and working with Kasey & Tyler. Check them out...you will NOT be disappointed!!
