I've never been married before, so having someone so helpful, from the planning stages through the…read morefruition of our big day was invaluable. From meeting with us to discuss options/ideas, to scheduling a prior session for engagement photos, to arriving at the venue before I did (and no I wasn't late), we really couldn't have asked for more. On top of the friendly, playful (being able to corral 2 whole families), this photographers artistic eye is unmatched by any other's (shooting weddings) I've seen.

I can't say enough good things about Kristy. Not only is she a consummate professional, she is also…read morean extremely kind person. The photos she took of my wedding were beautiful, she captured the mood of the event perfectly. During the wedding itself, she was great at reading the room, and even helped calm my nerves beforehand. I'd recommend Volatile Photgraphy/Kristy to everyone.

Kristy is simply the best…read more My husband & I have been following Kristy's work since 2004. When we got engaged the one thing we were already for sure on was our photographer! It had to be Kristy. We were lucky enough to set a date far enough in the future to ensure her availability. We used her for our engagement photos and were so happy with them! The images are sharp, clear, and vibrant. We had tons of compliments on them. It was great to use her for our engagement photos because it gave us a chance to get comfortable with her taking our photos, though it doesn't take much much since Kristy makes you feel comfortable. She made us laugh and get excited about our wedding. Then came the wedding and she was such a huge help on the day of! She made us feel so special and was great at guiding us and getting the best shot. I didn't even hear her camera make a sound during the ceremony once, yet she captured so many beautiful images. Of course we ran behind schedule and she was still able to fit in plenty of pictures of our bridesmaids/groomsmen & family photos quickly! After the ceremony we barely even noticed she was there! She blended in well and we never felt like she was in the way. The night before at the rehearsal she scouted out spots for photos, shared her opinions and expertise. She's very professional, responds quickly to e-mails, and will work with you on whatever you want; ie locations & including your pet! I'm SO happy she was our photographer. The final wedding images are more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. I'd definitely recommend Kristy. I really feel that she's one of the best photographers in the entire area. You're very lucky if you get to use her services. I'm looking forward to her photographing any future events in our lives. :)

Tracey at Fresh portraits is a true professional and she did a great job creating our employee…read morephotos for our website. I especially appreciated the background work she did to find out exactly what my vision was and she provided samples to look at from her portfolio. She met me at a location I was considering using to do the photo shoot. On the day we took the photos she was extremely well prepared and had thought of every little detail to make us comfortable while we waited for other people's turn. After she took some of the photos we had a chance to see how they were looking to make sure everything was on track. Tracey had a lot of patience and flexibility during the whole process. Everything she promised, timing, etc.. went exactly to plan. The outcome exceeded my expectations. I will definitely use Tracey again!

Melody is absolutely amazing! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She photographed my…read morewedding over the weekend and was so amazing. Before the wedding she called to make sure we discussed everything I wanted and be sure we were on the same page. I felt 100% confident that she would do a great job. Melody took complete control of the wedding party (and we were rowdy) so I was happy that she was so experienced and knew how to get the perfect shot. She took all the photos fast without wasting any time. If you want an amazing photographer who will get the job done right I highly recommend melody for your wedding. You will not be disappointed.

I am so grateful that I was able to work with Darby on my wedding day. She played such a crucial…read morerole in capturing our incredibly special day. From the time that she and I first spoke, I knew that we clicked and that she would do what she needed to in order to make my vision a reality. We spoke a couple of times prior to the wedding and ironed out details. On the wedding day, she arrived early, scoped out the space and sat with me while we discussed what my vision was. She has such a wealth of knowledge and knows exactly where to place you for the best possible photos. She just has that eye for detail that is truly necessary. Besides being amazing and catching so much of our special day, she helped out with other tasks throughout the day as well. When my bridesmaids and I were struggling with my bustle, she stepped right in and got it all taken care of for me. Truly, I don't think that there's a single thing that she hasn't seen on a wedding day and her experience really shines through. She had our sneak peak photos to us in less than 24 hours so that we were able to share them with friends and family at our day-after brunch. Given how incredibly gorgeous those were, we are so, so excited to see the rest of the images as well. I'm also super impressed that Darby is getting the pictures to us within a month of our wedding. For reference, we have a friend that got married a couple of years ago that didn't get their pictures back from their photographer for over 6 months. I am truly so impressed with the experience that I had with Darby and I can't recommend her or her skills enough. Thank you Darby for everything that you did to capture our day, help it run smoothly, and for bringing my vision to life!!

We consider ourselves to be camera shy, but she was very good at making us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. And on the day of the wedding, she was so supportive and helpful, even going so far as making sure our parents got a slice of wedding cake! As for the photos themselves, we loved the way they came out, and how they told a story of our perfect day. We loved working with Darby, and we look forward to future opportunities where we can work with her again.

Laurie Sterner & Michael Sterner at ljs Photography were recently the photographers at our wedding…read more They are are incredibly gifted and wonderful to work with. Laurie is full of love, very creative and captures the most precious moments. Mike is her funny side kick (2nd shooter) who makes you very comfortable and will get you laughing. He is also great at taking action shots. We highly recommend Laurie & Mike to anyone getting married or who needs photos for any occasion. We will definitely be honored to hire them again in the future. 10 out of 10!

We hired DJ Dan for our wedding last June. He was fantastic and communicative from start to finish…read more Wedding planning can be pretty overwhelming and having Dan help us organize the flow of the day was so great. After having a great call with him to go over our vision and how he works with us to make it happen, he gave us a worksheet to fill out. The worksheet was very important in the planning process and helped us choose songs and music for all the particular moments of the day (many things we hadn't even thought about before looking over this worksheet). Dan came for a site visit so he knew what type of equipment he'd need and to understand the flow of the day. He set up and handled all of the speakers, microphones and equipment. And most importantly he had the guests on the dance floor the whole night. It was the best! We highly recommend DJ Dan for your wedding or party needs!

We met DJ Dan at a wedding expo and are so grateful for that! We had no plans of hiring a DJ until…read morewe ran into him. He also came with an actual old-school photobooth, not one of those Ipad on a sticks with a big ring light situation. Dan and Debbie were great/easy to work with and I was surprised how fun our wedding was! I didn't expect everyone to have such a great time dancing! I unfortunately ran late so our timeline was pushed back and I wished we had more dancing but that's not his fault and I truly feel like I got to balance my time well- I did all the things! Photo booth, dancing, outfit change, mingled with everyone. It was a beautiful day/night! He even left me with a cord to help continue to play music from my laptop when his time was up. Looking back, I honestly wish I just paid for an extra hour of his time for more dancing!

They have had my full confidence from day one. At no point was this limited to just photography, hair and makeup. Their collaborative creative efforts take photography and styling to a whole new level. I'm not comfortable in front of the camera, I'd much rather take directions. Thank goodness they are good at giving them. Let me just say, this was the first time I've ever had my hair and makeup done and not made any adjustments afterward. Daisy did my hair and makeup, makeup for 2 bridesmaids, both the mother of the bride and groom, contoured, highlighted, and applied lashes for the rest of the 3 bridesmaids. I couldn't believe from 8am to 3pm she was all about staying on track and making sure there was plenty of time for me :). It was absolutely perfect. Josh puts forth so much effort to get the right lighting for the pictures, directing every angle, even telling me to make a different face. He has a vision to fulfill and is so passionate about capturing the most epic photos. At one point, due to some family members and a floral issue, we were running behind. There were pictures we had planned to take at the beach, but it was a two minute drive and I was having anxiety about the reception not starting on time. Josh took absolute control. He reminded us we were there not only to celebrate but capture the moments that were going to remind us of this day forever. I couldn't be more grateful for listening to his reassuring words and as a bride feel supported. The beach photos are my favorite of the whole day. I need to attach pictures to this review. (I will if I can figure it out) I'm literally obsessed. They are unbelievable. Our album is stunning. We definitely upgraded after seeing the pictures that HAD to be on display. I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with these two. Josh and Daisy, thank you for working so hard to make sure our engagement photos and wedding day were something we will always cherish. Also, for putting up with Bryan and I unable to control our laughing throughout all of these moments in front of your camera. We absolutely adore you both. Thank you!! Xoxo
