The photos turned out amazing and every single person was thrilled with the result !! Thanks again Steven !

It's hard to know where to even begin a review for Alex. I wish there was an appropriately quick…read moreelevator speech that could sum up our gratitude for his photographic genius, calm demeanor and overall awesomeness throughout our wedding process. There was never a moment we doubted choosing Alex. We would choose him again and again and will reach out to him in the future for anniversary photography. Alex has a beautiful ability to capture all the emotions tucked beneath the surface. This is what we wanted above all else. Photography that went beyond the static and the smiles and the posing and the family portraits. Alex does just that. I know when we look back on our wedding images years from now we will be struck with the tidal wave of emotions we were feeling. The tidal wave of emotions that Alex so perfectly captured.

Alex far surpassed any expectations we had of him as our wedding photographer. We were initially…read moreattracted to his unconventional style, use of lighting and the emotion involved in his work. The vision behind his work was made evident to us when we first met him. His willingness to go the extra mile was displayed in our proposal shoot where he hid and captured the moment when my husband proposed to me. Throughout the course of our engagement, Alex was consistently willing to try new things and take risks when photographing us. During our engagement shoot, Alex walked through three feet of snow with us just to get the perfect shot! In between shoots, Alex wanted to catch up with us over dinner and always asked how we were doing or how he could help us out during the engagement process. He truly cared about us as a couple and wanted to invest in our relationship. From beginning to end, Alex communicated clearly with timelines and delivered earlier than promised. He did not cut any corners and made sure that we got exactly what we wanted and much more. The day of our wedding, Alex was such a calming presence, which was much appreciated amongst the overwhelming nature of that day. He collaborated beautifully with our videographer and day of team to capture every detail of our special day. Alex was light-hearted, optimistic and ready to crack a joke right when we needed it. My husband and I would HIGHLY recommend booking Alex for your proposal, engagement, and wedding. He's fairly priced, over delivers, and his work speaks for itself. We booked him as a photographer, but ended up making a great friend. So grateful for the memories that Alex captured!!

We cannot speak highly enough of The Jon Hartman Photography Co. We live out of state and were…read moreunable to head to Michigan to meet them. We never felt like that mattered because their communication leading up to the wedding was great. Amy and Jon were always available to answer our questions and really helped us to determine what we needed to do. We met them the day of the wedding and loved them immediately! They fit right in. In the weeks following our wedding, we had countless guests mention how great Jon and Amy were and wanted to know how we were able to find such kind, professional and fun photographers (luckily the duo came highly recommended.) We've been waiting to write a review until we received our photos... They came today and they are perfection! Jon and Amy truly caught everything we wanted our photos to capture. Of course they captured all of the stunning details of the day, our family photos are beautiful, and our husband and wife session is breathtaking, but we wanted to remember our wedding as the greatest party we'll ever throw. Thanks to Jon and Amy, that is exactly what our photos represent. We feel so lucky to have found Jon and Amy! Thank you both so much!

I reached out to her and we met at a local coffee shop - I instantly knew I wanted to secure her for our big day. Laurenda is nothing short of AMAZING - her professionalism, personality and creativity made me feel at ease. Throughout our months of planning, Laurenda always kept in contact and made sure we were aligned on the logistics, she was very attentive to detail, and took into consideration all of my requests - overall, Laurenda was a pleasure to work with! I could not have asked for a better photographer and I am so thankful that Laurenda was able to capture all of our memories to treasure forever!

Mike Banno was a wonderful photographer. I would highly recommend him. He was easy to work with,…read moretook amazing pictures, and most importantly, was a good person. Mike communicated extremely promptly over email. He met with us before the wedding to discuss details. He worked with our unique concerns. Mike touched up the photographs to make a scar on my face unnoticeable. Mike took lovely pictures of my parents dancing at the reception, which I have desired for a long time. We were married in a Catholic church and Mike was extremely respectful of the sanctity of the Sacrament. He has experience photographing Extraordinary Form wedding Masses. Mike also gave us rights to all of the photographs. He gave us a flash drive containing all of the photographs and a Use License. Many photographers do not do this at a reasonable price. I am thankful that I found Mike Banno. I recommend his company, Forward Exposure, without any reservations.

Prior to our wedding, Ron checked out our departure site, boats, and reception venue, and had already formulated some terrific ideas for shots. I am not from the area, and he even helped me find a hair and makeup specialist. We received our pictures when he said we would and they were spectacular. Ron captured our day - mood, feel, excitement, guests, everything. The pictures are a perfect reflection of our wedding and us. Ron blends professionalism with art beautifully. He has earned our appreciation and recommendation.

We're very surprised by these 5 star reviews because we did not have a good experience with…read moreDan/Party Down DJ. We first met Dan over a Zoom call in October to discuss DJ'ing our wedding in August. He seemed great at first and had 5 star reviews so we decided to book him. After signing the contract and paying the deposit, things started to get a little disorganized. First, the deposit receipt showed someone else's name on it. We had not received any communication from Dan clarifying the mix-up or confirming he indeed received our deposit, so we had to send him a follow-up on that. Then, fast forward to a couple weeks before our wedding and he asked for our meeting availability to check-in before our wedding. He shared a few days he had available, and we responded with our availability right away. A few days passed and no response. Then a week passed and still no response. It was the Monday before our wedding that we started to go into panic mode. We were getting concerned that we hadn't heard from Dan about securing a meeting date, especially given that we were less than a week before our wedding. We thought he was ghosting us or that something had happened to him that made him unavailable. Monday morning, we texted Dan asking if he had seen our emails. No response. A few hours later we call him as a final contact attempt - still no answer. We ultimately had to make the decision to cut ties and scramble to hire a new DJ since Dan wasn't responding. Since we were only 5 days from our wedding, we expectedly didn't have much hope we could secure a plan B in time. After we booked our new DJ, Dan finally texted back (many hours later) saying he was on a camping trip with no cell reception and that he dropped the ball by not responding to our previous contact attempts. What didn't make sense to us was that he offered meeting availability on dates that he was supposedly out of town. Overall, we would have understood if we knew he was going to be on vacation (with no cell/email service) ahead of time, but it was cutting way too close to our wedding. We panicked and felt like we were essentially forced to find a new DJ as we didn't know when or if we would hear back. He knew our wedding was coming up, and yet all we got leading up to it was silence. It takes 30 seconds to send a quick email to your clients letting them know you might be slow to respond over the next week - that would've saved us a lot of unnecessary stress and anxiety. The lack of communication in general, especially so close to our wedding date, was completely unprofessional. If you're considering Party Down DJs/Dan, this is a warning to read over his contract thoroughly. His contracts are written deliberately so that you will be on the hook regardless - even if you're put in a position like us where you're forced to cancel and find someone else.

DJ Dan was very responsive and professional. He arrived at the venue early, was set up quickly, and…read moredid a great job as an MC. His rates are fair and he made sure that we were well-prepared leading up the reception. Highly recommended!
