Okay, I'm gonna be cheesy and say if I could give Nickel City ONE MILLION stars I would. I love…read morethem and their ability to take AMAZING pictures. They are professional and helpful but still down to earth people that are easy to get along with. You don't want some shmuck walking around taking pictures, but it's important to feel comfortable with your photographers. Our engagement shoot was a great introduction to what it feels like to know a camera is on you, but with Rich and Alyssa behind the lens I didn't feel weird or uneasy. That is probably why I look so fab in all these pics ;) I love the style and look of the photos, but mainly I adore how they capture the day. Even when perusing photos from weddings of people I've never met, I get that feeling of anticipation, excitement, happiness and love. When I was looking through the pictures from my own wedding I felt all those emotions rush over me again, but it was so fun to relive the day in a way I wasn't able to. I loved the shots they took of other friends and family enjoying themselves, the things I didn't see since I was busy being "the bride". These pictures are timeless. I know I will cherish these photos until forever. As a kid I loved seeing pictures of my parents and grandparents in their younger years, and these photos will be exciting for me to show off if I have my own family down the road. And finally, Rich and Alyssa are cool people. They have a beautiful family and are great people. I feel like I made a couple of new friends after this experience. So happy with my choice to have them as my wedding photographers, and I would recommend them to anyone! They also do amazing family photos under their brand More than 20. No matching white shirts and jeans in these portraits!

As traveling photographers, Jaimie and Brian were traveling from Colorado to Buffalo when they agreed to stop in Philadelphia to take our engagement pictures. They arrived early to the location to determine the perfect spots to get pictures. We felt so comfortable with them from the beginning. Jaimie had some really creative ideas for photos. After seeing our engagement photos, we knew we made the right decision in having them shoot our wedding! We could not be happier with our wedding photos. From the candid photos to the formal, Jaimie and Brian captured so many great moments. We received the sneak peek a day after the wedding! Our entire wedding gallery was ready 17 days after our wedding. You can't ask for better service than that. We relive our wedding every time we look at our wedding gallery.

There are not enough stars to show how highly my fiancee and I think of Michelle. We booked her as…read moreour wedding photographer, which included an engagement session. We knew the photos would be amazing. What we did not expect was how much fun we would have with our engagement session. To say I was a little nervous and my fiancee "did not want to fake a smile or be posed by someone" is an understatement. However, Michelle made the experience easy and so much fun. There was never a moment that felt awkward or unnatural. Michelle is professional while being welcoming, warm, and comforting. The photos turned out absolutely stunning. I am obsessed with our photos. When you require a photographer look no further than Michelle. She is knowledgeable, knows how to capture the moment, her quality of work is immaculate. Her work shows how much love is put into each photo she shoots. I cannot wait for her to shoot our wedding in less than a year.

We absolutely adore Amy and her work! She really is an amazing photographer and we just love her!…read moreWe were one of Amy's first clients, and I swear I couldn't be happier that we picked her. My boyfriend didn't really understand the whole pictures thing or why we had to do it but once he met Amy she totally changed his mind and he has enjoyed this experience almost as much as I have, which in my opinion really says a lot. We are part of the "Grow With Me Plan" we go to see her every 3 months until he is a year old, which we are about to do our son's 9 month photoshoot this week. She also did our Christmas card photos. If you're looking for a great photographer to capture your little ones most precious years, LOOK NO FURTHER. Seriously, I promise you won't be disappointed. Amy will make sure she captures exactly what you want and put her own little spin on it to make it even better!

Horrible, traumatic event at Sister's Hospital with Bella Baby photographers. They entered without…read morepermission or explanation while my husband, one day old baby, and I (recouping from major blood loss) were all finally asleep. Before I could incline the bed, they were setting up the photo shoot at my feet and handing my husband an ipad to include his information. My startled newborn was screaming and they played a white noise machine to attempt to calm the chaos they caused. The whole scene felt like a nightmare for propaganda and I'm still outraged it was ever allowed.

Hid all the junk in my house. We also did a few outside as well. Came out so cute!! Has to be a good photographer if he can go inside to outside and everything came out so precious!! He's good with pets and babies. Very patient since we were trying to photograph the cat who was in a mood. Highly recommended. We're even doing more photos when the extended family comes out to visit.
