I had a terrible experience with Kristin Piteo Photography. My already stressful and heartbreaking…read moreexperience of having to reschedule my wedding due to Covid now comes with a painful reminder every time I look at my wedding pictures. I hired Kristin Piteo in late 2019 and scheduled my wedding for November 2020, but I had to move everything 3 weeks prior due to a new Covid curfew imposed by the state of Ohio. My new wedding date was scheduled for May 2021. Kristin informed me that she was unavailable to personally shoot my wedding and would send another photographer in her place, but I would have to pay an additional $324 (on top of the $3,600 + tax already paid) due to her "2021 price increase". She would not refund anything already paid, either, thus forcing us to continue with the contract rather than seek a new photographer since the budgeted funds were already spent. Kristin assured me that the new photographer was of equal caliber and experience as her and I trusted her expertise. It was quickly apparent on my wedding day that the main photographer was not very experienced, evidenced by how few photos she took and her lack of confidence and direction. I have no photos of the groomsmen getting ready, because the 2nd photographer was late arriving to the house. It took a long time to receive my final edited photos, and I got them after the album for a wedding that occurred a couple of weeks after mine were posted to her website. I was immediately disappointed with the quality and quantity of the photos. Kristin tried to blame it on the fact that I didn't download the high res files, but this did not explain why several pictures had mistakes such as eyes closed, etc. It was obvious that Kristin knew the quality was poor when she refused to post any on her company's Instagram page claiming she doesn't post other photographers work, even though this was the work of "Kristin Piteo Photography" per the contract we both signed. When I pushed further, she offered a $500 refund and new filters and also claimed that our wedding party was drunk and difficult to work with, per the photographer she sent in her place. This is impossible considering my church is very conservative and would have refused to marry us. I was so offended and upset by these comments and refusal to take ownership that I never responded. Now I can't look at my pictures without getting upset and can't put any on my wall. I am so happy for the couples whose wedding pictures done by Kristin Piteo Photography came out stunning and artistic, but am heartbroken that mine are so bad, even though I paid the same fees. This review is not about tarnishing anyone's brand or image. It is an honest retelling of my experience. While Kristin claims to treat every wedding with the utmost care and professionalism, mine felt very much like an afterthought and a burden. I understand that vendors need to make a living and I am more than willing to pay a fair price for good work, but we also worked hard for every dollar in our budget, so we felt like we were being taken advantage of when we received neither a partial refund to hire a different photographer, nor an end product that was commensurate with what we paid for. I also felt like there was a lack of sensitivity for what I was going through as a Covid bride, whereas other vendors were far more accommodating and understanding. Of course I would much rather be looking at beautiful wedding photos than to be posting this bad review.

I would not recommend Kristin Piteo Photography. I paid Kristin $936 on 3/24/21 for a deposit for…read moremy wedding 9/5/21. Our wedding was canceled due to the rise in Covid-19 variant cases in Stark County, Ohio which was the location of our event. We asked for a refund. Kristin Piteo's contract states "There shall be NO refund of retainer after signing of agreement due...If the event is cancelled within six months of the date, the client shall pay the balance of the contract...Once a balance is paid, it is NON-REFUNDABLE". All of our wedding vendors except for Kristin fully refunded us due to the uncertain times of Covid-19 despite their contracts stating otherwise. Kristin proceeds to agree to scheduling a shoot with us since she would not refund the $936 deposit, we were extremely excited and grateful since her contract does not state any exchanges of services for deposits. After many months of trying to schedule with her, she was never able to give us a date that she was available despite emailing her on various occasions. My experience with Kristin is that she isn't willing to satisfy paying clients and I wish we would have had a good experience based on her reviews.

Wow! Larry Spencer was absolutely amazing. You get so much more than what you pay for when you work…read morewith Larry. He was worth every penny (and then some). He spends hours with you in consultation so that he gets the exact look that you want. He did our engagement pictures, my solo bridal shoot just days before the wedding, and our wedding pictures. The photos are absolutely stunning. He just captured the emotion of the day so well. He truly is an artist and he has mastered this craft. I have had countless family members and friends ask who did our photography because they are so impressed by his work. Not only is his work beautiful, but he is great to work with. His presence just puts you at ease. He will hustle to get the perfect shot (including taking pics in the pouring rain, laying on the ground, in the middle of the street). He helped us develop our day-of timeline which made the day go smoothly. He is quick with communication and he was able to get us all of our wedding photos just 1 week after the wedding, which is unheard of in this line of work. I could not recommend him more highly. Thank you, Larry, for capturing the memories which we will take with us for the rest of our lives.

This is really a 4 3/4 star review!…read more I've only had one wedding photographer, but I'm glad that I chose Melissa! Her photography is brilliant. She uses a variety of filters and effects to create unique pictures that are unlike any other photographer's. Her style is not invasive- she lets you be yourself and captures it on camera. She is also easy to work with. Organized, prompt, and very kind and compassionate. When I had an unexpected delay in payment, she was understanding and never demanding or intimidating. My only small complaint is that I wished she would have given more direction in the photographs and in rounding up the people who needed to be in them. I think she wanted to capture us naturally, but for some of us, it's hard to know what to do in front of a camera and stressful to try to get the right people in the shot. All in all, I recommend Melissa to anyone getting married. She even does portraits, too!

He took the time to fully understand what I needed and coordinated seamlessly with the AV team at the Bryce Jordan Center to ensure both audio and video would be recorded perfectly for my keynote at Penn State.

If you're looking for a videographer who goes above and beyond, Jake Markko Photography is the one to call. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

We saw her work-- and we immediately had to book her for our engagement session. I had been looking at different photographers in the Cleveland area for a while to do our engagement session (our actually wedding was in CA), and honestly, we wouldn't have done it if it wasn't for Marisa. My husband and I are both pretty awkward and stiff in front of the camera, esp if the focus is on us. However, the day of the photo shoot, she was easy and fun to work with. She was able to direct and guide us during the session. We trusted her vision and expertise, and let her guide us in terms of location and awkward position and postures..lol, and it turned out nicely. Marisa has a natural and creative eye for photography. We loved her photography style! Our photos were so beautiful, yet organic. She is very professional and there's something about her that's light hearted and puts you at ease... too bad we didn't know of her earlier-- wouldn't mind her documenting our wedding day. LOVED her so much, I booked a boudoir session with her a couple weeks before the wedding. The husband loved them too =) She worked with my crazy schedule and was able to produce him a tangible product for the wedding day! She is amazing.. and you will not be disappointed.

She is detail oriented, professional, personable, authentic and has a wonderful personality. People kept telling me before the wedding that things will go wrong on the day of your wedding but Megan was not going to let that happen for the ceremony. When I arrived at the venue Megan had pulled me aside with concerns around the ceremony stage as our flowers were placed with little room left for my wedding dress train. She took control, consulted a friend and already had a solution in place to moved the arrangements around *THIS is what going above and beyond looks like and it doesn't stop there. The florist was waiting for the rest of the wedding party to arrive so they could place the boutonnieres and hand out the corsages but Megan could sense the florist was a bit overwhelmed and jumped right in taking charge letting the florist know it would be no hassle at all for her to take the flowers and pass out/pin herself. During our family portraits Megan had found my husband and I to deliver us our specialty cocktails (which were much needed at this point haha). There are so many other small details I am missing from the phone meetings, vow review beforehand, handling our very loud wedding party during rehearsal and before the wedding ceremony. As for the most important part of the day... the ceremony. The words she read really hit home when you are standing up there ready to say I do and she spoke with such grace it was absolutely beautiful. IF you are between officiants this is YOUR review telling you to book Megan. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for being there for us in every way on our special day!

Wonderful experience from start to finish. Megan is extremely responsive, communicates well, and…read moremost importantly gets the job done tailored to each couple's unique needs. We had our main wedding ceremony out of state but mistakenly realized that we needed our marriage license completed by an officiant registered in state, and the courthouse ceremony process is time consuming (requiring an in person appearance to even make the appt, and then only offering times that are during a typical workday to conduct these ceremonies). Megan was able to perform our ceremony very efficiently knowing that we did not want a lengthy process (and were already wedded). We completed the entire condensed ceremony and papers hassle-free and in one sitting. She charges a really competitive price as well (the best I found after inquiring multiple officiants on Yelp). I would highly recommend her if you and your partner are stuck in a tricky situation like ours! Thank you Megan!!!
