She responded quickly, kept me informed throughout the process, and gave me great options for locations. I shared my vision for my graduation photos, and she executed it perfectly. April was also extremely accommodating when it came to rescheduling due to unexpected events, which I truly appreciated. The photoshoot itself was fun, relaxed, and enjoyable, and I had so many beautiful photos to choose from. I am absolutely in love with my graduation pictures and couldn't be happier with the experience. Thank you so much, April!

From canceling to rescheduling to rescheduling again, they have been very accommodating. Amy responds quickly to emails and has really great suggestions as far as vendors, engagement shoots and wedding venues.

My sister and I wanted pictures with the balloons but because of the wind it was canceled the only day we were in town for it. We still got some cool shots there but Matt wanted to make sure we got the whole New Mexico feel so we tried the next day at Old Town! I love his attention to detail! I've worked with a lot of Photographers over my traveling and I love that he cares about his work! It really pays off we really got some amazing photos! If I ever come back for balloon fest I'd hire him again in a heartbeat!

Here are a few perks to consider with Nicole (I advise checking on each of these with her.):…read moreYou get full rights to personal use of the photo files. A PDF of the contract/usage agreement is included in her file sharing. She sends USB sticks with all the edited photos. We got 600+ engagement photos back. We got 1000+ wedding photos back. It only took three weeks (in the height of wedding season) to send us our USB stick for the wedding. You can easily view, favorite, download, AND order prints from her website (Pixieset Host). Since Nicole started in a portrait studio, she has a great eye for portrait photography while still capturing the mood and emotions of the people and event. Further, Nicole is such an easy person to work with! From the beginning, her customer service was wonderful. She spent a good amount of extra time getting the best engagement photos of us that I have seen to date. She even went ahead of time to scout out the shoot location to get our route and timeline planned so we got the best pictures at the best locations at the best times. Our engagement photos at CU Boulder (University of Colorado Boulder) turned out spectacular. The day of the wedding, she arrived on time, ready to go, and focused. Nicole was calm and collected among the chaos of people getting dressed in a hotel, traveling from hotel to venue, and the wedding party arriving slightly late at the venue. Our wedding photos turned out with an 8/10 rating. They weren't perfect because we chose to take them at 3pm on a very sunny day. In the end, we did not get as many "spectacular" pictures due to being late and the ones with our wedding party were washed out because of the time of day. Not Nicole's fault. Our priority was to get married and this was granted by a smooth and professional photographer.

She continued to do a great job planning throughout. She was flexible with planning an engagement shoot, which was a little tricky for us since we had moved out of state by that time, and she worked around our schedule. She is really good at giving direction and getting a variety of poses during the wedding. Our wedding photos are gorgeous and capture details as well as wide shots. She was accommodating in creating package that fit our needs. We loved working with Nicole and would absolutely hire her again! (also posted at WeddingWire)

Their shots came out great and they sent us the full gallery just 1 week after our wedding. The services are pretty expensive, but they are very up front with pricing and it is on par with other photography services. We were happy we had 2 photographers instead of 1.

I can't believe I'm only the second person to review Photography by Jeff Pistana, early bird gets…read morethe worm I guess! When organizing my parents surprise 50th Wedding Anniversary we researched multiple photographers and selected Jeff because his prices were so incredibly reasonable (He starts at $75.00 for 2 hours - no kidding!) and he made an effort to explain his services to us. There were no hidden costs or surprises about not being able to keep and own every picture like many photographers these days tend to do to suck more money out of you. Plus, his portfolio displays a wide range of both perfectly posed shots and tender candid shots. The day of the surprise party, he showed up on time, dressed appropriately for the fancyness of the event (I've seen wedding photogs show up in ripped jeans and tennis shoes before! C'mon, that's unacceptable!) and had an uncanny ability to make everyone who had just met him feel absolutely at ease during the experience. Jeff helped bring out our family's...how shall I say, "eccentric" personality and provided us with warm, lasting memories of that day. He graciously handled challenges, making the best of difficult situations, such as a lack of lighting at our venue towards the end, after the sun had set and displayed thoughtfulness and patience as we tried to coordinate over 30 family members in various groupings. We never felt rushed and the photos came out phenomenal since we were all so at ease, and excited to be there. He definitely went above and beyond the call of duty. One of the more subtle qualities of Jeff was how none of the guests even noticed he was there, he was so unobtrusive and stealthy yet we have pictures of everyone and everything that happened! He has this keen way of capturing the moment without being obvious or in anyone's way. He devoted so much of his time, energy and talent to making my parents 50th such a success and went far beyond our expectations. We now have so many greats pictures displayed throughout all the children's houses and to share with friends and family as well as creating family heirlooms for the little ones for the future. Thanks for the timeless memories!!! We even had some questions regarding the timing of our parent's arrival and wished to get their reactions to the surprise captured as thoroughly as possible and Jeff promptly answered all of our phone calls and emails. The day after the event Jeff provided us with all the photos on a disc and stuck around to make sure we could open and access them. We were shocked to receive them so quickly and are very happy with them. Jeff got so many ridiculously AMAZING candid shots and portraits that day, My parents could not be happier with the photos. Jeff has also done some exceptional food shots for me when I had an urgent need for my cookbook. I was at the point of telling my publisher I would have to miss a deadline but then called Jeff who fit me into his already busy schedule and was able to set up the shoot at my house. Jeff knew precisely how to angle the camera to convey the true integrity of the dishes I prepared and was able to hand me a zip drive with over 100 pictures within two hours. He also made sure that the photos were what I wanted. I love that he shows you the pictures on his camera as he's taking them to make sure you are pleased and will do a retake if you like. To say I am happy with Jeff's work is an understatement, his friendly demeanor and sincerity in pleasing his client's will keep me coming back as long as he's in business. It's remarkable that such a talented photographer doesn't have a snooty attitude, which I have has the displeasure of seeing all too often. Jeff is very humble and natural, a powerful quality in someone who is so good at what he does. Best prices you will ever find, combined with polite, thoughtful service and great pictures is what you get with Jeff. I won't hire any other photographer.
