The Kate Stapleton Experience elevated our entire wedding planning process. Every time we met with…read moreKate, we left more and more confident that we chose the right person for our special day. Kate took the time to get to know us. She had us walk through what was important to us to have captured on our wedding day. It was not really something that we had thought to articulate ourselves, but Kate made it easy by showing us example photos and having us describe what we liked about each one. Kate worked with us to create a very detailed and easy to follow timeline for our wedding day. Family and wedding party photos were a breeze, because she had organized the order in which each member would be added and removed from the photos. We had a 20 person bridal party plus a lot of extended family getting ready with us. Come the morning of the wedding when Kate arrives to the bridal suite, she circles all of my bridesmaids and family members up and goes around the room to learn every persons name. Incredibly, she memorized them all and used them throughout the entire day to help give directions. She truly became part of our family that day. She was great at being able to round up our big, crazy families. Everyone loved her. Being the center of attention can be intimidating. Kate helped relieve some of that pressure by being so stealthy and out of the way when photographing the day. I often forgot I was being photographed, which helped me be able to be myself and not feel like I was being watched by a camera. She and her second shooter, Kat, caught the most memorable candid moments because of that. I must also add that Kate dove herself into the dance floor to capture my brother and husband dancing together. We are so grateful to have had her on our wedding day. When our photos were finally ready to be revealed, Kate didn't just send us an email; she had us come to her office to relive the day together. We got to go through every photo together up on her large TV screen and create our wedding album. She gave us over 1,200 photos and had them all carefully organized in albums. She had also drafted 50 pages for us for our wedding album-- something that would have been quite daunting to try to put together on our own. Together, we created the wedding album of our dreams. Our experience with Kate Stapleton was priceless. We could not have been in better hands. She captured our special day so beautifully and our family will cherish these photos for generations. We are so very grateful to have met Kate and have gotten to work with her.

She has various packages and will capture your special moments in some great area locations from Tahoe to Reno and the Bay Area as well! Looking at her portfolio and her social media, I knew she was exactly the person to capture my little family on our 10 year anniversary. Can't wait to see what she puts together for us!!

We loved the flat rate fee and that we had a photographer with us all day. We ended up with about…read more3-4,000 pictures, which was nice (many were duplicates from a slightly different angle, which made it a little difficult to go through, but allowed us to choose what we liked best). Everything was hassle-free like Shan T. said. Brooke is very pleasant and easy to work with and has a wonderful personality. We were ready to go in advance and met with her on two occasions to explain what we were looking for, as well as emailed examples of the styles we liked. However, we felt that we received photos that were completely opposite of what we requested. We all talked about doing fun, outside of the box photos, which she said she could and would do. We feel that our photos were boring and regular and did not fit our personalities or what we talked about at all. She missed key moments (like my dad pulling back my veil when giving me away and/or kissing my cheek). Out of the 4,000 photos, we really liked about 20 (many were of inanimate objects). Some of our guests took better pictures that we actually have hanging up in our home. If we were able to do it all over again, we would go with a different photographer, even if it meant we didn't get them as long.

Brooke is awesome and I highly recommend any bride-to-be in the Lake Tahoe/Reno area to use her…read morephotography services! I met with her months before the wedding, booked the date, and it was hassle-free from start to finish! What we loved the most is that you can pay one flat rate for the entire day - getting ready, ceremony, and reception - and then you get all the work on CDs or a flashdrive. We got CDs of all the photos plus duplicate CDs with the same photos in black & white and an additional CD of artistic photos (black & white with the flowers in red, for example). With this option, we own all the photos and can do what we want. We can post them on Facebook, print them at Wal-Mart, email them to our family, etc. You don't have to pay for a photographer, wait 2 months, then pick the photos you want developed, then have to wait for them to only develop those photos - and then you only have a handful of them. This way, you get everything and it is fun and easy! Brooke is great, I cannot say it enough!! A+

While she has made some of the girls look stupendous with their makeup and costumes ... I was unsure with the boys .... he looks awesome and she took the time to get to know him. I couldn't say enough about my recommendation for Fenner Photography in Reno. Ann-Marie was amazing. She answered all my questions and then some. She was willing to spend all day (while my son wasn't) and still captured the most amazing shots. If a recommendation is needed - and Ann-Marie knows I don't give those lightly - nor do I lie - (I'm a little tactless) .... I heartily recommend her. While she isn't cheap - sometimes this once in a lifetimes memories are soooo worth it. Ann-Marie can give you my contact information if you need more info. or send you a pic. if you need a boy photo. 1000% recommendation!!!!

That was important bc my boyfriend really doesn't like pictures being taken. The pictures that she took came out GREAT and my family can't stop raving about them! I highly recommend her and if I lived closer I would use her again instantly! She was also very prompt with providing the photos which was nice bc we were so excited to see them. My only regret is that I wish we could have done some of her creative pics in the water but it was too cold for me and I chickened out. lol.

They are amazing. But what I really love about them isn't their photography... it is their heart and community. Every time I see them they are bright and bubbly and have the best to say to help others around them. They even donate their services every year to couple. All I am saying... Is book them for their photography but friend them for their personalities.

At one point my bustle fell out and Blanca even offered to help put it back in for me. We have so many stunning and beautiful shots of our special day that I'm going to cherish forever.

While Nicole was a friendly person, her photography was lacking. We asked her to come into the…read moreoffice to take profile pictures of employees which would then be used on employee social media platforms and our company website - we also discussed light re-touching of the photos in case employees had requests. When I explained what I wanted to Nicole, she was up to the task. On the day of the shoot, Nicole was welcoming and made employees feel comfortable, but she did not give much direction to the employees so when we finally received our photos, Almost Two Months Later, they did not look professional at all, and some photos were missing. When I reached out her to discuss the missing photos and re-touching, she ignored my attempts for months, then finally responded stating she would work on the re-touches and get the missing photos to me. She did send me one re-touch, but it was horrible, the person looked completely plastic, and we still had not received the missing photos. I reached out to her again to relay my disappointment in the matter, and she completely ghosted me! I still do not have the photos I was promised and now must use another photographer to do re-touches. I would not advise a partnership with Nicole; she seems nice but doesn't really care about your project. This was completely unacceptable behavior. Maybe she is better for wedding photos.

I had the extreme pleasure to recently working with Ken & Vesta Photography. Having been a DJ for…read moremore than 29 years, it is very rare to find a photography duo who is so easy to work with, immediately available to capture every candid moment and (most importantly) not there to turn things into a photo shoot. The wedding we worked together on, in June of 2019, was full of many amazing moments and Ken & Vesta were right there to capture everything. Their dedication to the event and the wedding couple was amazing! They had zero ego and were the nicest photographers I could have ever hoped for. They even showed up for the Ceremony Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner. Now THAT'S dedication you don't often find from wedding photographers. Their presence at both events added to the story they wanted to tell (through their photography) of this amazing wedding. If you are looking for a photographer who "GETS IT" and makes it all about YOU . . . . look no further. The photography team of Ken & Vesta will capture the best moments of your wedding and deliver a product you will treasure for the rest of your life.

I've hired Ken and Vesta twice now - once to photograph my mom's wedding, and now to photograph…read moremine. Their work is fantastic, and I'm always surprised by how great the pictures turn out - Not because I don't have any faith in them, but making me look human has got to be one of the biggest challenges they've taken on! They like to ask questions of your while they shoot. It helps break the ice with clients they might not know very well, and it results in photos that look more natural and candid. Vesta likes to capture people looking beyond the camera, and that is definitely one of my favorite ways to see a memory presented. Look no further than these two if you want a fantastic experience, and wonderful photos to cherish.

When my husband and I first got engaged, we began researching all of our vendors. We came across many different local photographers, most of them at an outrageous cost, and some that wouldn't even give us all the photos from our wedding...stating that each photo would be at an additional cost...We were feeling defeated, until we came across Allie. Her photography is what first caught our attention. Her focus to intricate details and creativity were so unlike all other basic photographers in the area. We met with her, instantly connected, and decided on the spot to hire her as our wedding photographer. And she did not disappoint! The photos came out incredible and we will forever cherish the memories she captured for us. If you are searching for a talented, kind, and affordable photographer, you have definitely found one!
