Having the…read moreopportunity to have this experience was wonderful and I was very nervous at first but it felt so smooth, easy, and effortless. Ordering was easy a there were plenty of options to choose from and choosing the photos was smooth. There was a small hiccup with the delivery of product. The day I went to pickup my order, there was one thing missing but Amanda was wonderful and quickly helped with a solution for this. Everything was quickly fixed and handled with attentiveness I greatly appreciate it. I now have all of the items that were ordered. These photos turned out absolutely beautiful and my husband was amazed and loved them as well! Thank you for such great service and an amazing experience for it being my first time doing a photoshoot and it being boudoir! I left feeling so confident and looking at the photos I got back reminds me that I am beautiful in every way!

This was my first boudoir shoot, and Amanda and Jodi made me feel completely comfortable. The…read morephotos turned out amazing. However, my concern is with what happened afterward. I was told my order would be ready in two weeks, but I didn't receive any updates. After reaching out, I was told it would arrive by the end of the following week. That week passed--making it three weeks total--with still no communication. It has now been over a month (going into week 5) since my photoshoot, and I have yet to receive any updates and my order. This lack of communication is disappointing and frustrating. Improving follow-up and keeping clients informed would make a big difference.

Melissa was fantastic! We were fortunate enough to have Vivid shoot our wedding ceremony at the…read moreHalekulani Hotel. Her and her team was so easy to work with. So far, we only received our preview album, but ALL the pictures were fantastic. I cannot wait to see the rest of the photographs. I would highly recommend VividFotos to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Melissa and her photography partner James are great to work with. They're prepared, punctual, and…read morevery good at coaching you even if you consider yourself awkward in front of the camera. James is especially bubbly and was so kind in helping me fluff my wedding dress and bringing my partner and me water during our photoshoot. I initially chose VIVIDfotos for my engagement shoot because I was looking for exactly their particular style of photos. They capture the true beauty of a moment without being overly stylized or edited. Melissa just has an incredible eye for composition and lighting. I was completely blown away by the engagement photos and immediately booked VIVIDfotos again for my July 2025 wedding. I've received a set of preview photos from the wedding and cannot stop obsessing over them. They're stunning and I couldn't be happier. With VIVIDfotos you're also getting personalized service. A few weeks before the wedding we decided we didn't need 8 hours for our wedding shoot, and asked Melissa if she would allow us to amend the contract. She did so without hesitation and allowed us to credit some of the hours to a future shoot at no cost, even though it will be more work for her to set up her equipment all over again. As we learned with all of our vendors, Melissa is extremely busy and may be occupied with other things, so you may need to remind her of any particular needs the day of your shoot. We had asked for a change of outfit at our engagement shoot, and weren't sure about the protocol for this. We didn't bring it up until the end of our contracted time. She granted us extra time for photos in our 2nd outfits at no extra cost. If you're looking for a very professional photographer who is guaranteed to deliver outstanding quality photos, look no further.

I was hesitant and nervous the day of the photoshoot because I'm not one to do something so bold but Monica put me at ease. Crystal did my hair and makeup and I wish I could copy what she did again.

Working with Shannon has been an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend her and would work with her…read moreagain! She was extremely communicative and clear about the work she does and the type of service she would provide and she lived up to our expectations during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. At our engagement shoot, she helped us feel super comfortable on the other side of a camera when we'd only done one other photoshoot before. She gave us great direction and told us to just have fun with it! Her pointers and tips were super helpful and we got some really beautiful shots and some great candid ones. On the day of our wedding, Shannon and Shanel were incredible! Both of them bring such fun, warm energy into the room. They both felt like people I knew for far longer than I actually did. They captured the sentimental, romantic moments and also were so great at capturing the fun moments. Couldn't recommend hiring Shannon more and it's a bonus that you get to support an AAPI, woman owned business!

Shannon is always so fun and easy to work with and she was so kind and responsive when a situation arose unexpectedly after (thank again so much for that, Shannon). From the ceremony to the reception- everyone else enjoyed working with her as well...Shannon has such amazing energy - would def hire her again!!

Stephanie has a lovely, friendly personality, yet she is professional and competent. She was the Officiant for my Son's themed wedding. She goes above and beyond and even wore the requested themed garments. Not only did she look the part, the vows she wrote were equally splendid. This young woman obviously loves what she does and it shows! She is also a skilled photographer and captured the essence of a very special day! We highly recommend Knots and Shots! Thank you Stephanie, you're amazing!

My husband and I met Sarah at the Bridal Expo. Now in all honesty we were quite overwhelmed with…read morethe expo, but when we started looking at all the fliers and discounts Sarah had the lowest wedding package so we thought we would meet with her and feel it out....Little did we know that we would be meeting a life long friend. Sarah not only shot our engagement pictures and wedding but she has also taken pictures of me while pregnant, photos of our baby as a newborn and two other times in his 9 months here. Sarah is a dear friend of ours and by far the best photographer we have used. Sarah listens to what you want and as a bride that is very important. She is very open and not of the norm. If your looking for cheesy studio pics in matching outfits, well then Sarah isnt the right choice for you, but if your looking to have beautiful pictures that truly capture the spirit of those in them then Sarah is your gal. I would highly recommend her as a photographer and friend! Lots of love to you Sarah!

I recently completed my third photo shoot with Sarah, so this review is long overdue! For the…read morefirst photo shoot, Sarah Chamberlain took photos of me and three friends ( as a farewell activity). She adeptly captured the light and our friendship in our photos. Not only is she talented but personable. She makes you feel comfortable, and the shoot is fun! My next photo shoot was baroque style, and she made me look beautiful and feel comfortable, while exhibiting the utmost professionalism. Yesterday, I had my third photoshoot with Sarah. I truly believe that, while she excels with all types of photography, that this is her speciality! I do not like taking photos, and she made it so much fun! She is creative and found great spots and great lighting! She was also able to conjure the essence of our family into the photos, because she is amazing at family photos! She made every one at ease and made everyone feel special. There are many talented photographers but few have that gift! And that is the difference between good and great photographs.
