Now that we've had time to review our actual photos, we sadly have to update our initial review…read more Going into the wedding we were so excited to work with Chris. But once we really took a look at the photos, we realized we got very little of what we wanted. Before the event, Chris seemed meticulous. He met with us twice and asked detailed questions about our family trees, and we explained who the really super important guests were, aka the guests we wanted lots of photos with. Looking back at the pics, it seems like Chris either didn't hear the majority of our requests, or he heard them and was just too overwhelmed to handle them. During our meetings he stressed a few really important photos, like one with the groom's parents and the bride and groom, one with the bride's parents, photos of the elderly relatives whose presence at the event we'd want to cherish...also his personal favorite of the bridesmaids all looking one way and the bride, in focus, looking at the camera. Somehow, Chris failed at delivering those photos at a high quality - the ones he was passionate about. Most of them are unusable. Chris is definitely a nice guy, but his work quality wasn't what we were expecting, especially for a wedding that was essentially all in one building (no frantic driving across town, searching for parking, etc.). If you are looking for someone to shoot a very, very low key event or a wedding without many moving parts or complications, working with him will probably work. Anything higher stress than that I would recommend working with someone else.

Amy captured so many special moments at our Wedding that I didn't even know I would want. She coordinated with our band and venue to ensure we were on time and able to sneak away for sunset pictures.

Amy's photos were beautiful from our Wedding Day and we could not be happier She sent them within 2 weeks and did an great job editing. I would recommend Amy to anyone! Thank you again :)

I can't say enough incredible things about Amy at Happy Gnome Photography. I've worked with her on…read morethree separate occasions. First, she shot our engagement photos. We wanted to do something a bit non-traditional. The whole idea started with wanting to include my Grandpa's 1932 Chevy... we knew it wouldn't make the trip out to our Boston wedding as I'd dreamed of as a little one, so instead it was the centerpiece of this shoot. Amy took this idea and ran with it... she provided balloons, brought great props, and even hooked us up with a really incredible mechanics shop for a backdrop. We had a blast, and the shoot turned out exactly how we'd hoped. I then went to Amy for a boudoir session. I told her I'd be in Milwaukee and was interested in a shoot, and within a few days she was setting up a whole shoot that would allow for a friend to do her own session, too. Amy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire session. She had great shot ideas and backdrops, and even brought a few accessories to share. My now-husband got his little black book as a morning-of wedding gift... he was blown away! Exactly what I was going for. :) I saved the best for last: our wedding. The incredible emotion that is felt on your wedding day is something you wish you could feel forever; the next best thing is having photos that perfectly capture the day. I still get compliments on how fantastic our photos turned out...of course, we send all the credit to Amy... we just showed up for the pics! Amy was patient, professional, and so easy to work with. She knows how to communicate with a bride on her day, and she will do everything she can to make sure you get what you want. Amy thinks of the little things, like reminding us not to wear socks to our boudoir sessions (weird indents on our skin) or discreetly reminding me that if I'm putting on a strapless dress in a few hours, I should take my bra off to avoid the same marks. What a smart lady! Aside from the actual photos Amy provides, she also does a really great job with customer service post-shoot. She'll often share a "sneak peek" right after a shoot to give you a sense of what to expect, and we always got our photos much faster than I've heard others do from their photographers. She's very clear about what she'll provide and how you can use/print your photos: so important in making sure she gets credit where it's due and you get the photos you want. The payment process is easy peasy. My husband and I moved back to Milwaukee a few months after our wedding, and we plan to use Amy for every photo-worthy event that will come up (newborns, back to school, mini-sessions, anniversary parties, etc etc etc). She's that great. Book her now!

I would recommend this husband/wife team-colorfuldreams4u to anyone. The day we met them, we knew…read moreit was a good match and they would depict my vision of how I wanted our wedding day pictures/video to look! We had our engagement photos done by them around the urban ecology center in Milwaukee. It was the perfect setting, rustic with flowers and trails . I loved every single picture they took. They made it so easy and comfortable as my husband isn't a huge fan of pictures but we laughed and laughed with them and it was an awesome day getting to hang with Gloria and Ron. Fast forward to 7/7/23. I couldn't have asked for better photographer/videographer, every single picture I wanted whether it be with the bridesmaids or family or my husband, they were there. We even added on an hour so we had them for a total of 8 hours. It was worth every penny and every minute to have them. We are more than grateful to have found them and chose them as our photographers. They were patient with everyone and they made everyone laugh. They captured pictures of guests mingling, dancing and just enjoying themselves. If anyone knows me, they know I'm obsessed with pictures and I plan to develop every single one from our wedding day and put them in an album. I also wanted to mention how efficient they are, on the wedding day and completing our video and pictures all within two weeks. It was nice we got our video on our honeymoon so we were able to enjoy watching it together. Gloria and Ron , you do incredible work. We loved having you and we would refer you to anyone. Hope to cross paths again down the road. Thanks so much!

He was so much fun to work with and put everyone at ease. On our wedding day, he was very adventurous and we tried all kinds of photos (in a waterfall, in a meadow, out on the dock at night). These are some of our absolute favorite photos!! The value of his services is excellent and he is so quick to answer questions and adapt to your needs. His work is magnificent and we got rave reviews from guest and family about the quality of our photos. A great thing about Dennis is that on the day of, he does a great job of blending into the crowd. You don't even notice he's there and yet he gets all these incredible shots.

The best decision you could ever make!…read more Where do I start we met Caroline at a local wedding show called WedMke and chose to meet with her as her energy seemed to be everything we were looking for. She is extremely personable and took the time to get to know us where I would say we have grown into a friendship. After meeting with her we were sold as not only did her packages have the greatest value she was reassuring and excited to be able to capture our story through her lens. We did our engagement photo shoot and my wife and I were a little nervous but she walked us through poses and helped us capture the exact vibe we wanted and did I say she completely understood lighting with shooting people of color which was huge. She brought her brilliant Brazilian vibes to every shoot we had and helped to not only coordinate on day of wedding but to tame the crowds as we all know sometimes taking group photos can be a challenge. However she did that and so much more. She truly was the gift that kept adding as she even gathered up a special surprise for our wedding day making it even more special. She truly understands photography but you gain much more than just that with her. I think she easily has the best value in the city!
