She was prompt and professional and obviously knew what she was doing and was familiar with angles and lighting as well as what poses would look the best.

Lauren Michele Poucel is owner and photographer of Tide + Pines Photography and boy what an awesome…read morephotographer she is! She's timely, ENERGETIC and just a fantastic person to coordinate with! We left feeling like she was a part of our dynamic family. It's a rarity when I get my husband and three young, adult children together on any given day so when it does happen - what do I do? BOOK A PHOTOGRAPHER QUICK!! Actually, it took quite a bit of planning to get my family to get a day off together - booking Lauren/Tides + Pines was a BREEZE!! I found out about Lauren / Tides + Pines through a mutual friend and I was happy with the style of pictures taken of her at her event so I nabbed her up quickly before her calendar filled. Her natural style/approach and minimal editing to photography is what appealed to me. We decided to meet at not-so-secret-beach at Ko'Olina at which time Lauren and her bubbly self show up. Unlike most photographers that I've come across, she doesn't really stage you for shots (if that's the style you're looking for). I wanted raw..."semi-staged" photos that captures our family personality and dynamics. Something easy...not stiff or staged because that's just not us. We have the Chandler Bing smiler, the ham, critical mommy, the "i don't wanna smile, my eyes are not even because of these dimples," to the anthro poser. We're just not good photo subjects for any photographer. Lauren makes the photo session seemingly painless!! Really!! Just be yourself and she will discreetly move and shoot while you are in motion. She may suggest places for you to sit or stand but all in all, the shots are up to you - she just shoots them. And shoot is what she does!! She nimbly moves and maneuvers herself in places that allows her the best shots (i saw her in the bush, on top of slippery rocks, tide pools and on the ground in the sand). She's just the easiest photographer to work with that I've ever met and made the awkward photo session gut busting fun and oh so painless. Our proofs were sent to us immediately (within a week). I'm sure that as soon as word is out that she is that good - her turn around time for proofs will increase in time. But for now, we are quite lucky to have discovered such a gem in a field already littered with talented photographers. She was quick to add that if we wanted anything edited she would be able to do it but really, we were just so pleased with ALL our pictures!! It wouldn't have been fair to have her edit 50 pounds off my pictures so I guess "raw" is what we are going with this year. We all looked great and I was happy to see that she did capture the essence of our family.

I called several times to book 2 toilets for our wedding before finally being able to contact…read moresomeone. After booking the reservation, we received no confirmation and we had to call twice again before being provided an invoice. All communication with the company was one-sided and they never reached out first, even the day of delivery (so we had no idea when they would be arriving- on the day of the wedding). I had to lie and say the wedding began earlier than it actually did to increase the likelihood they would arrive before guests- or at all. The company promised my wife they would have them delivered on 2 separate days prior to the wedding, but they failed to follow through. We were told the toilets would be decorated with our wedding colors; however, there was no wedding decor inside them. For some reason they are not allowed to use equipment to move the toilets and they had to be dragged across the lawn, tearing up the grass. Our bridesmaid left a negative review on a separate site and the owner contacted me to question why no one called her on the day of the wedding to complain; she began getting heated with me on the phone when I explained no one was going to step away from the wedding to make phone calls (also they are closed on weekends). They are unprofessional and do not put effort into effectively communicating with their customers.

For whatever reasons she has not been able to field any requests for assistance or help and we have been working with Amy, who I think is the owner/operator of the Travel Store. Amy sent me an e-mail which was my receipt for the down payment for the cruise. On the day that the balance was due, Amy called me and I paid off the rest of the cruise. This is the only time the Travel Store has tried to contact me. I later inquired as to flights from Syracuse to NYC (fr the cruise) and transfers from the airport to the port of departure. Amy did get back to me and I called in and paid Margaret for the other travel of this trip. I was e-mailed a receipt, again. I have e-mailed Amy and requested a packet for my trip. She indicates that I already received my packet - though she was never present in the store and I have never met her and none of employees have given us anything other than "receipts." I have come to find out that Norwegian has wanted additional pedigree information about myself and wife. I also was not inclined to know about making reservations for dinner and excursions and events on the boat. I called Amy this past Saturday and she asked if she could call me back because she was on the other line. I went to the Travel Store about an hour later and the Store appeared closed for the day. Amy has been avoiding me. If I wanted this treatment or lack of responsibility for customers, I would have used Orbitz or Expedia, etc. I will never use or recommend the Travel Store to anyone and I will be posting reviews on as many places I can so no one else comes to expect any HELP on their trip. It is my guess that this place is mostly in existence for the employees to get good deals on trips.
