All the stars possible to Lia Giannotti Photography for making our big day run so smoothly and for…read moregiving us memories that turned out better than anything we could have asked for or imagined. From the day we met Lia for engagement pictures to the day we got married, seriously the journey would not have been complete without her. Not only does she have this insanely amazing way of making you feel comfortable and so confident but she hands down has become a friend. She got to know us.. the real us.. and she worked and built off exactly that, which blew our minds. Surprise mini books before deployment, several chats to catch up, and now this album- we love Lia. If you or someone you know is looking for photography of any type, honestly we recommend her beyond what any words could describe. Lia as well as anybody assisting her (they were amazing too) truly go above and beyond and give you an awesome outcome. The photos from any special time last a lifetime, and because of Lia our lifetime of memories on this day was made truly magical.

Alison and I exchanged a lot of emails and I told her how excited I was to work with her and that…read moreto please mark my wedding date on her calendar. We scheduled to meet face to face 3 weeks later since I live in Michigan and I had to make travel plans. In our emails she confirmed with me twice that she had put me in her calendar. Literally hours before I was getting on the flight to meet with her she emails me to tell me that she gave my date to someone else. She knew I was flying in from another state and she knew we were scheduled to meet. I signed up for yelp just to write this review because I really thought you all should know!

I really can't say enough about Alison Bank. She was, hands down, the best decision I made with…read moreregard to my wedding vendors. Here's a list of the great things about Alison, since I'm merely restating what others have written and want to do something snazzy to be different! - Alison is the best at communication. From the first email we shared, I have never waited more than a day for a response. Even when she was on her own honeymoon, she managed to send me a "Ack, I am out of town! But, when I get back I will send you the pricing info! " email. That is so helpful to a bride who is planning at all hours of the night (because, honestly, what bride doesn't plan at 2am?) - Alison is organized and thorough. I got all the information about pricing, albums, expectations and requests up front. Our initial meeting with Alison left us feeling completely comfortable in her hands since she was on top of her game. I never had to worry once we decided to utilize her talents! - Alison makes the pre-wedding and day of wedding run so smoothly. She helped me craft a pristine wedding schedule of events and was an expert at keeping us on track during the actual wedding without being bossy or pushy. She arrived on time and ready to shoot and kept the mood light and worry free! She even reminded me to eat (thanks Alison!) so I wouldn't pass out when walking down the aisle. She brought snacks with her, in case I didn't have any. During the day, she blended into the background and I barely even noticed her stealthily snapping shots during the ceremony and dinner. - Alison got my proofs back to me in a month and boy, are they STUNNING! The final product from our day is exactly what we wanted -- relaxed, candid, bright and thoughtful images of the best day of our lives. She caught every detail, every smile, every bouquet of flowers and edited the group down to 550 of the most beautiful pictures. I've just been skipping through them for the 5th time in a day and I am completely in love. Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe what I am about these pictures! I can't wait to pick out the photos I want for our album and work with Alison to create that heirloom piece. I'm sure her album work is as professional, creative and comprehensive as she has been throughout the wedding process. Bottom Line: Choose Alison Bank - First Comes Love Wedding Photography. You will not be disappointed.

His work was top-notch, and the results were beautiful. The pricing was fair, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, which we really appreciated. He also offered great suggestions for poses and helped us choose outfits that looked great together as a family. We truly feel lucky to have worked with him while he was visiting Los Angeles. It was perfect timing before he headed back to Michigan. Highly recommend him if you get the chance!

Let me start with saying I am a photographer myself, I work in the wedding photography industry and…read morewas not a super picky bride. Basel was my photographer, and our engagement photos were wonderful! My wedding photos were abominable. I was given 380 (unedited at my request) photos. Thats it. There was 2 photos of me walking down the isle. Eyes closed and making a weird face. No photos of rings being exchanged. My husband and I had only 6-7 shots alone.. most were blurry and not in focus. The only photo of us walking into the reception was completely blown out with a flash, you can't even see us. There are about 10 pictures of our first dance, all are either our backs, blurry or the file is damaged. There is one photo of my dancing with my father. There are 3-4 others, that again I cannot open. Basel arrived late, and stop shooting or left early. Requests for photos during the reception after dinner, made by my mother in law, bridesmaids and aunts were ignored. I have plenty of hot girls dancing pictures. Some photos are salvageable and I am able to edit them but the actual quality of the shots, and the fact that there is literally one shot or every pose is completely unprofessional. He did not bring his 20-25 years of experience to my wedding.. My mom's iPhone would have taken better photos.. and in some cases did.. I could go on and on... I am heartsick that my wedding photos turned out so completely terrible, don't waste your time or your money.. Like I said our engagement session was awesome, but the wedding was a disaster. Don't have your day ruined.

We were able to customize our package to exactly what we wanted and they made sure to get every arrangement of photos of our huge wedding party and family! They were so kind and easy to work with and at the end of the night checked in with us to make sure there wasn't anything else we wanted before they left. I would highly recommend them for any special occasion and if we ever need professional photographers again, we will no doubt be back to see them again!
