Joe responded right away, gave me a great deal was at the venue on time and produced 1300+ amazing photos myself and my guests all loved. What a great and relaxed experience with Mr Davenport.

Would hire Toledo portraits a hundred times over. Thanks again Joe

The pictures are amazing, so we knew what to expect and she did not disappoint once we got ours. I've been going to Jan since before I was married and my wife and I go to her with everything: wedding photos, pregnancy photos, baby pictures... My family has gone here for senior pictures and other family events, as well. She knows where all the secret places are for the best photos and her laugh is so contagious, she even gets those introverts to smile and laugh! Yeah, she's awesome. She is family to us and I know she will be for you, too. :)

After a long wait, I finally received a response on October 29 apologizing for the delay and confirming my date was available. They asked me to schedule a call through their portal to discuss details, which I did for November 4. Unfortunately, they did not show up for the call. They eventually connected with me later that day, and I sent inspiration photos to help with planning. After that, I heard nothing until January 16, 2026, when Katie messaged me asking if I had seen her proposal. She apologized for the lack of follow-up and said she would resend it if needed. I informed her that I had not received the proposal in my spam or portal, and she promised to resend it the next day. However, by January 17, I still had not received anything. I followed up again on March 1, 2026, hoping for some progress. Despite the ongoing communication issues, I was drawn to their work because of the beautiful photos and event space they showcased on Instagram. I really wanted to use their services. On March 2, I finally received a response from Stephen, who explained Katie was attending a conference but assured me I would get the proposal within a few days, no later than the end of that week. Now, 20 days later, I have received no proposal and no further follow-up. I am left with no choice but to look elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would. I cannot comment on their food or event space because I was never able to utilize their services. I want to support local small businesses, but this experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

I used DM as my photographers for my wedding and I want to give them a good review but I honestly…read morecan't. The owners, Bridget and Joe are REALLY nice people and their work has been featured in The KNOT (magazine). When I was deciding on photographers, I decided to go with DM because they were very friendly, nice, and they seemed to be everything I was looking for. PHOTOGRAPHY Before the wedding, we went over everything that I didn't like (ie black and white photos) and everything that I wanted (list of pictures, 2 photographers- 1 being Bridget, tons of pictures, etc). But the day of the wedding I was sent Bridget's sister instead of Bridget (apparently Bridget had sprained her ankle). I understood that Bridget couldn't come but I was upset because nothing that I had relayed to Bridget about what I wanted was relayed to her sister, and on the day of my wedding the last thing on my mind is going over what the photographer needs to do. Unfortunately, Bridget's sister was NOT as good of a photographer. To begin with, she apparently didn't white balance her camera because all the pics in the chapel were orange/yellow. Also, she missed key pictures- ie the entry of the parents/grandparents, the ring exchange, the kiss, pictures of the guests at the reception tables! She also took pics in black and white, which I had specifically asked them NOT to do. Also, DM did not do a good job photoshopping the pictures. I thought that they would at least photoshop the pics so they wouldn't be do yellow, but their photoshopped pics weren't much better than the originals. I was able to photoshop them better and I have no experience with photoshop. I was disappointed in how long it took to get my photos. Another reason I went with them was because they promised to have the proof, pics and photo books done before any of the other photographers. I guess this should have raised some suspicion. The proofs were posted weeks, if not a month after promised. And the photo 'negatives' and photobooks came in a lot later than promised. (I don't remember exactly how long but it was much after the promised time). VIDEOGRAPHY On top of that, a couple weeks before the wedding, Joe called to ask if I wanted them to do the videography at a discounted rate. I had already had someone who was going to do it but DM promised to have the video sooner than the other person and they offered a better price so I had them do my video too. What they failed to mention was that by having them do the video, I lost out on a 2nd photographer. Had I known this, I would have preferred having the 2nd photographer and stuck with my original videographer. I must say that the wedding video was well done and we enjoy it. But the video also took longer than the promised time (months after). And my parents were disappointed because they did not video tape the entire wedding ceremony. So we can not even rewatch the wedding address/sermon. Overall, yes the people at DM are nice. But considering how expensive they are, I was highly disappointed in the end result. Every time I think of my wedding pictures, I think of how much I overpaid for not so great pictures. If you do go with DM, I recommend guaranteeing that you get Joe or Bridget as your photographer if you can. I'm guessing that since they have been featured in the Knot, they have to be better than what I got.

I contacted them because of good reviews and an appealing website. I told them right at the beginning that it was for 40 people and I wanted desserts only. They sent me a price sheet (listing multiple items sold by the dozen). I called with a few more logistic questions and the rep told me "we don't sell just a (a = one in my world) dozen of anything," so when I sent in my order I ordered two dozen of multiple items. She never said I could only order ONE item for that small of a group. I got an email back saying "Thank you so much for your time, but I don't think that we will be able to accommodate this." More than a week has gone by since initial contact and now I'm back to square one to find a caterer in Toledo who can provide excellent desserts. Their food might be great - I can't attest to that. But word-of-mouth is a caterer's livelihood, and I simply cannot sit back and not make others aware of poor customer service.
