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!

Ted and Rachel Linczak are awesome. Just awesome…read more When my fiance (now wife) told me that we were going to have engagement pictures taken, I couldn't believe it. I was already unexcited about wedding pictures, and now we are having engagement pictures? You have got to be kidding me. Ah, but a few minutes after getting started with Ted and Rachel, I was having a blast. More important, so was my wife, who hates to be in front of a camera. The pictures Ted and Rachel took were absolutely stunning. I can't come close to conveying in this review how impressed all of our friends and family were with their results. It was almost insulting at times... "wow they made you guys like so GOOD!" Huh... But in all seriousness, they did things that we couldn't have imagined them doing. All the while, to our untrained ears, their requests sounded so strange. "Whisper something funny in her ear. Lean your hips in really far and bend your back uncomfortably backward. Say something dirty." Each of these commands resulted in a unique picture that we will value forever. Many wedding photographers charge an arm and a leg for very high quality, professional portraits and snapshots. The Linczaks compose every shot and coax priceless expressions from their clients. Our wedding day pictures were even more amazing. And, just as amazing as their photography work was what they did for us during our reception. Between dinner and dessert, they set up a giant projector and showed a 3-4 minute slide show of some of the best pictures they got EARLIER THAT DAY! The amount of "ooohs" and "aaahs" from our guests was staggering. They were amazed that we had been to so many places and that some of these places resulted in such dramatic pictures. Some of the places we went seemed really strange and unusual, but they just worked. In front of a loading dock door... in a cramped and dirty side entrance to a downtown building... midway up a fire escape... the front door of city hall... we even climbed into the window frame of the Cleveland Department of Education building, which was covered in thick ivy that had turned orange and red for the season. One of our best shots was of us walking hand in hand up the brick section of Main Avenue under the Shoreway bridge. We were lucky that everything went smoothly for our wedding, but the photography was more than smooth. It was positively jaw-droppingly good.

Rachel and Ted Linczak did a great job on our winter wedding day pictures. One thing that they need…read moreto work on is overall response time with customers. When we were trying to meet with them to discuss things about the wedding, before and after the wedding, it took them a week or 2 to get back to us about when to meet and discuss things like the agenda and our corrections to our final album. This can be an annoyance to some...especially brides. Lol. Other than that, though they did a great job. They were very professional, punctual and made our pictures look fabulous. We can't wait to enjoy our album when it is finished. Thank you Rachel and Ted.

I hired Dad and Daughter Photography for a special event and they were seamless to work with. Chuck…read moreis really easy to communicate with-- he's very quick with text, calls, and e-mails. They had a very fun set-up onsite at our event, including props and a professional-looking photobooth. I also really appreciated that the light in the photo booth was awesome...one of my biggest pet peeves is when you hire a photo booth and the light sucks. I'm all for bright, flattering light, and their photo booth delivered that. I plan to hire Dad and Daughter again in the future when I need a photo booth. Oh, and they actually are a dad and daughter. Literally. Together, they worked my event and were very chatty and interactive with my guests, and it made me happy to support a local family business. They printed out as many photo strips as any guest wanted, and they made the HD gallery available to me within hours of my event.

Chuck and his daughter were an absolutely pleasure to have running the photobooth the entire night!…read moreThey made a point to come grab the wedding party for pictures before things kicked off - I can't thank them enough for doing this because we somehow never made it back in the entire night. From what everyone else had to say, they were a blast and very interactive and fun with the guests! For the prices they charged, I cannot recommend them enough for a photobooth. Chuck went above and beyond adding specialized templates for the booth screen and prints, they printed extras for me to take home and extra for my guest book. I cannot thank you both enough!!

Jen brought so much energy, joy, and enthusiasm to all these events that I highly recommend her for whatever you're planning. If you're nervous about doing photos, Jen is the perfect choice. She takes charge, she knows what to say to you. She starts talking, gets to know you, gets you past your nerves, and the whole time she's snapping shots that appear natural, unposed, earnest, and true. Thank you, Jen, for capturing our family's fun moments and for being a great referral to our friends!

We planned a complete wedding in Chicago, IL, but a few months before our wedding, we had to relocate our entire wedding to Akron, Ohio. The added stress was worth it because it got us exactly where we needed to be. We had our dream wedding (honestly, it was better than I could have envisioned) and Dennis was right there capturing all of it through his ridiculously talented eyes. I can't express how incredibly wonderful Dennis and Mark were at our wedding. We didn't have a videographer and it didn't matter because the images Dennis Crider Photography gifted us are priceless. Dennis was with me from the morning through our reception and he managed to capture moments that I will forever cherish. Working with Dennis throughout the whole process was amazing, I knew from our very first conversation that he was our photographer as I felt I had known him for years. He is amazingly talented, professional, and worth more than he charges. Hiring Dennis Crider Photography is one of the best decisions you can make for your big day. (So much so that our venue has asked if they can use our photos- his photos- for their marketing.) I'll let some of these images speak for themselves.
