Amelia was there for preparation, the ceremony, and the reception and captured beautiful photos of everything. She was awesome about getting the big group shots done too.

I've known Jamie for about 20 years. The first time I met her, she was holding her camera. And…read morethere's been very few times when I haven't seen her without it. Jamie's perspective on life is deep and high. She takes you to the depths, heights and everything in between; and what's remarkable and rare is that she is able to convey these depths and heights in her photography. It is a true honor and privilege to know her as both a friend and a photographer. For anyone who wants to be captured in such a light, I would point no further than her.

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.

Lauren was a pleasure to work with through our entire wedding planning experience. We did our…read moreengagement shoot in a park in CNY and we were blown away by the beauty that Lauren captured in each photo...it was hard to pick our favorite! On our wedding day, she felt more like family as she jumped in when my dress needed straightening or hair was out of place prior to getting that perfect photo. You can tell that Lauren genuinely enjoys what she does and I would highly recommend her. Thank you for a fun experience, Lauren!!

DO NOT FOREGO the magic of a great photographer when planning your wedding! As the Groom, and I can speak for my Bride, the event went SO QUICKLY that we can barely remember any of it. That is, until you look at Leo's magical work. While he's "present" clicking away, he's not obtrusive in any way. Our wedding may have been different than some in that we didn't have many formal photos. With a few captured, we asked Leo to simply snap away and capture the feelings, emotions, new acquaintances, hugs, clinks, and conversations and the results were more than we hoped for. In our case we had legions of friends from various Provinces in Canada and States in the US. To see them converge at Hayloft on the Arch and mingle - and be captured in delightful moments is priceless. Leo really was, icing on the cake to a perfect, and most beautiful and magical wedding. Thank you Leo for your artistry, passion, energy and talent. It will be forever admired. Love John & Suzie

We searched around a lot for the right photographer, which is harder than you'd think. Even though…read moreshe lives in New Hartford, she serves the entire Central New York and Syracuse area and was happy to come to our wedding, which was in Syracuse. Lisa was fantastic throughout--very prompt to return e-mails, very accommodating. Her work was great--she got some really interesting shots of us, but also let us just be ourselves and do our thing (instead of having us do weird poses). She has great packages and did ours for the whole day--which is nice since a lot of photographers mess around with hourly rates. When she was there, she was a fly on the wall when we needed her to be (i.e., during the ceremony and the reception) and proactive when it was most important, such as helping guide my wife through the details (i.e., how to cut the cake) and get people organized for group photos. She was such a pleasure to work with!

Their prices were extremely reasonable and competitive with other photographers listed services. We met with them a couple months before our wedding to do some engagement photos. Our first impression matched everything we saw and the photos we took for our engagement photos. Brad and Christine are a great team and they knew the photos to take and the places to go. Our wedding arrived and Brad and Christine were on top of everything, split up, and never were in our way. Always around to catch good photos but also not annoyingly following you, a great balance. They had a great attitude and by the time the wedding rolled around we felt like they were family friends. Overall a great experience and the best choice we could make for wedding photography. Overall, we were extremely pleased and would recommend Brad and Christine to all our friends and family who would want a photographer.
