He finished them in a little over a month and got them to us very quickly. I can't even express how impressive that is, considering how much work goes into editing a photo and the amount of time it takes. I could see 4 weeks easily if it were the only set he was working on, but I'm very impressed that it only took him 4 weeks when I know for a fact he was working on several weddings (and shooting more) at the same time. In case you weren't impressed by his turnaround time already: My husband's cousin got married 2 weekends before us. She hadn't seen a single professional photograph as of last Sunday, whereas I had already sent people links to all of the photos on Steve's website. I have all of mine now and she said she thought it would be a while before she got to see anything. Thank you Steve for all of your hard work!

Jamie has been absolutely phenomenal. We did our engagement pictures with her, and a snowstorm hit…read morethe night before. She was super flexible, and helped us figure out a plan that worked with the snow instead of against it. The pictures turned out great! We look forward to having her shoot our wedding, but due to COVID, we had to reschedule our May 2020 wedding to May 2021. Jamie has been SUPER flexible with us. Her blog posts helped me figure out how to handle this weird situation, and her understanding throughout this has been deeply appreciated. If something changes between now and the wedding next year, I'll update this review, but I don't anticipate that happening :)

She is fairly priced, easy to get a hold of, and very experienced. She helped soooo much the day of with guidance and helping us with staying on time. I haven't even got the pictures back, but I am sure they will be great. She made my day that much easier and I cannot wait to work with her again. Picking her as my photographer was one of the best decision that I made.

Photos were perfectly captured, yet quick and seamless, the turnaround was extremely fast, within a few days we had all photos back. Highly recommended Jenn Marie!

I was hesitant to leave this review, but after reflecting the last 24 hours, I decided I would not…read morebe doing future potential customers a service by not mentioning my experience. My girlfriend and I booked a "mini session" back on September 21st for October 19th for fall photos. In our request, we specially mentioned that we wanted to have our photos taken "while the leaves were turning and in full bloom". A mini session is for 30 minutes and cost me $300 up front to reserve the date. When the date came, Mother Nature unfortunately presented the day with rainy weather. Jenn emailed us that morning and requested to move the session to another date. We obliged and settled on November 1st, even though we knew the leaves would be at the tail end of the season. When this date came around, the night before, the area was hit with snow, leaving little to no "fall feel", with snow on the ground and also covering the trees. I called Jenn that morning and left a voicemail that weather just wasn't on our side, and at this point, it wouldn't make sense to push our date out again, because the fall bloom would basically be over and we wouldn't be getting the fall photos we had originally reached out for. Jenn called me back late in the afternoon. As soon as I mentioned just cancelling and refunding, she became short with me, saying she had no control over the weather, she didn't offer refunds, and we had the option to push out to another date and that our reservation fee gave us the option over the next year to book another date. While I do understand there is no control over the weather, considering the whole point of this session was for fall photos, the only option would be to wait a whole year for another chance at fall, which made no sense. Jenn was not empathetic to our situation at all, and her unprofessional tone left me feeling uncomfortable to even want to have her take our photos. How would we even be able to enjoy our session following a bad customer experience interaction? I leave this review with the decision to just be out the $300 and in the future look for a professional photographer who provides an extraordinary customer experience. Had she been more understanding and professional about our situation when speaking with her, I may have been more willing to figure something out with her.
