My friends and family also cannot stop singing her praises, it really felt like she was as much our guest as anybody else which is a testament to her personality and her professionalism. I keep reliving the day and thinking about the people who made me feel special and she is definitely high on that list. She is incredibly appreciated, talented, and all around wonderful to have the opportunity to shoot with. Mallory does a wonderful job at making her clients feel comfortable and special. I love how colorful her portfolio is without overdoing it. She does a phenomenal job of getting candid shots, capturing the scenery, and documenting some of the most special moments in a person's life! I cannot recommend Mallory highly enough! She was pure joy to work with! If you are considering hiring her, DO IT! You will not regret bringing her into your life and including her on your special day. Thank

You will NOT be disappointed if you hire Mallory to shoot your wedding. Her artistry and eye for good shots is unparalleled- not to mention that she also happens to be an amazing person!

On the day of the wedding, she eased my nerves and kept us laughing throughout the more stressful moments. Our family and friends continue to be awed at the images she captured. They will be pictures we treasure forever.

She responded quickly, kept me informed throughout the process, and gave me great options for locations. I shared my vision for my graduation photos, and she executed it perfectly. April was also extremely accommodating when it came to rescheduling due to unexpected events, which I truly appreciated. The photoshoot itself was fun, relaxed, and enjoyable, and I had so many beautiful photos to choose from. I am absolutely in love with my graduation pictures and couldn't be happier with the experience. Thank you so much, April!

I originally contacted Rudy because I didn't want the fuss of a traditional wedding photographer at…read moreour reception. I just wanted to party and have it documented. It was the single best decision I made for our wedding. Rudy was professional and attentive during planning and in the days before and on the day of the reception he was awesome. Rudy captured so many perfect moments of our night. I honestly didn't notice him the whole night but we wound up with hundreds of incredible shots of dinner, our family, the venue, and the dance floor. Rudy's photos tell the story of our party. They show dance moves and smiles and moments you wished you could capture. Our photos are perfect. I'm so happy with Rudy's service and the photos we have forever. Hire him.

Jennie is absolutely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I've known her personally…read moresince we worked together 5 years ago and I couldn't wait to book her for my wedding. Personality - An extremely kind and friendly professional, Jennie will literally climb a mountain or tree to get the best angle for a picture of you. She is a dedicated person who is an absolute delight to interact with. Responsive and thorough, she is an ideal vendor. Pricing - Jennie has levels of pricing that can accommodate anyone. We had originally booked her longest package for 10 hours of shots and an assistant. The wedding was thrown off by COVID-19 and she was extremely flexible and thoughtful in letting us switch to a new 3 hour schedule. She charged us no fee and sent us a new contract right away. Her flexibility saved us tons of stress during a very difficult time. We wanted her there no matter what! Quality - During the ceremony, I (the bride) broke out into serious hives that were clearly visible from my neck and down my arms. I was devastated that all the photos would clearly show my stress from the day. Not on Jennie's watch! She spent WEEKS meticulously taking off every hive from those photos and making me seem flawless that day. I couldn't believe it and cried with relief when we got the photos. All the photos were so flattering and had gorgeous lighting. Her photo cues and set ups are fantastic. She truly celebrates all kinds of love and is an open and loving individual. I wish I could thank her more for the beautiful memories she gave us. With her, we forgot about the change wedding, the pandemic, and the logistical issues of the day and she didn't need to tell us to smile big (we felt it already)! Thank you, Jennie - we adore you!

Literally the best decision we made while wedding planning was hiring Jennie Crate to photograph…read moreour wedding and do engagement pictures. She is absolutely amazing, both as a photographer and a person! My now-husband and I were both super nervous to get our pictures taken - we were worried we would be awkward and too posed. For both our engagement and wedding photos, Jennie did a great job making us feel comfortable. She gave us wonderful prompts to help us interact while she was photographing so the photos felt natural, fun, and so meaningful. At the wedding, not only was she IMMENSELY helpful when we were making last-minute decisions about the rain, but also very kind, supportive, and calm throughout the night. I've heard so many great things from friends and family about how much they enjoyed interacting with Jennie at the wedding, and the photos she took capture exactly our vibe and special moments from the wedding. She was detailed while going through our list of posed family photos, and also made a point to photograph our guests interacting. We loved our experience with Jennie and would recommend her to anyone looking for stunning wedding/engagement photos. Thank you, Jennie!

I wanted them to be outdoors, not staged, and casual. They captured all of that ! It was actually fun getting our pictures taken, which has not been my experience in the past so I knew these guys were a) really into their jobs and b) good with people. Now I also know that they c) take some fantastic shots!! I just ordered prints for my parents to frame and already have mine up on the wall . Thanks for helping us to preserve these important memories, I would definitely do business here again.

His candids from before the ceremony and throughout the reception are among my favorite photos of some of my friends and family members, to this day.

I'm glad to know he is pursuing this full-time now, he's an amazing photographer.

Treva is a very talented photographer; consummate professional, came to our custom location, shot…read moremany, many gorgeous shots, and presented them beautifully to us on her website. There were so many shot-of-a-lifetime senior photos that we couldn't choose, and fortunately she makes them all available to her clients digitally, so we didn't have to. We requested a slightly off-the-beaten-path approach to my teenage daughter's senior pictures, and Treva had so many ideas of how to feature that location and vibe- the resulting senior portraits were a thrill and will be treasured. Beyond her obvious skill level as a portrait photographer, Treva has what can't be taught: she is able to make her portrait subjects at ease- even the camera shy. She was so encouraging without making a "big deal" out of it, that my teen immediately got comfortable and was willing to try anything Treva presented to her. When the digital proofs cam out, my very private teenage daughter was simply aglow. Any time she looks at the photos, she still sparkles, and that's a great gift to her mama. Senior photos can be another big expense during your student's final year of high school, and we appreciated Treva's affordability, though you might want to get in fast before the whole world finds out... she does family portraits, pet portraits, and much more, so definitely check out her website. I'm not one to review often- I don't like to leave a really negative one unless a warning to others is truly warranted, and I'm also not inspired to leave a review for a so-so experience. The reviews I do leave are almost always based on an over-the-top experience, and this was definitely one of those! Thank you, Treva!
