She gave us direction when we wanted it but also just let us do our thing and she captured it. We can't recommend her enough!

Right fron the beginning working with Jim so extremely hard. We signed with him in June, in…read moreSeptember I had to call him in order to try to schedule our engagement photos. He never returned my calls or texts for weeks. Finally, at the end of October we were able to take our engagement photos. Then I did not hear from him until 2 weeks before my wedding when I started calling him again and again it was hard to get ahold of him. The day of my wedding he did alright the pictures are good but the videographer is in a good majority of my pictures, which kind of ruins them. After the wedding was all done we got some photos about a week after the wedding which was great with the promise of more to come soon! At the beginning of December we still hadn't hear and again Jim wasn't returning calls or texts. We got a couple more after my mom called him in December. Then a couple months went by and I had totally forgotten about my video and the rest of the pictures because so much time had gone by. In April I started call Jim again, weeks would go by before he would respond to any texts or calls. When he would he would insist that he was almost done with my video and I would be getting it soon. I finally got my video the first week in August 2 weeks before my wedding anniversary. The video was a mess and most of it doesn't even have sound. Sign with caution. This was the worst and most stressful experience of my wedding.

We had LuvFilms for our engagement/ wedding photos and have been continuing to utilize their…read moreservices for our family portraits/ moments. Our review and experience with working with Luvfilms has been spectacular! I always knew that I HAD to have this company shoot our photos... their work is beautiful, artistically done and was practically a no brainer for us. From our first shoot with them, they were kind and professional. We clicked right off the bat and throughout our shoot the photographer would direct us for different shots. Once we received our images we knew we made the right decision in choosing Luvfilms. We were blown away with how flawless they were. The candids were just as great! Now three years after our entail shoot, marriage, and the birth of our beautiful little girl, Luvfilms is STILL wowing us with their amazing work and has become our family photographer. I can't wait to have her one year photos taken and smash cake!! For us, this company is amazing if your looking for the all around skillful photographers to capture your life events rather than just one event, Luvfilms is who you'll want to call. It's such a relief to have someone who you know, trust and depend on to capture these moments for you and I'm so thankful we found that with Luvfilms.

The minute I met Jen, I knew I wanted to work with her. She was on the upper end of my price point…read morefor photographers, but she is worth every penny. If there is one thing I appreciate in working with professionals, it's those that are detail oriented and prepared--Jen is both! I didn't have to worry one bit. Rain or shine, I knew my pictures were going to look amazing. It's not every day that you meet a photographer as prepared and professional enough to have galoshes and 10 black umbrellas in their car just in case of rain. She even brings her own lighting if need be. What I especially love is how organized she was about the wedding timeline. Snap snap snap, a few jokes to get great laughs and beautiful smiles, and then move on to the next set! There is no dilly-dally going on but it all felt very natural. She gets the shot and moves on to another beautiful pose. This made it especially wonderful for the family shots. We lined up, added and subtracted people--and snap snap snap--we were done! We were able to enjoy most of our cocktail hour and appetizers because of it! AMAZING. Okay, so lets talk about her personality. She is so cool! Easy going, makes you feel good behind the camera. You can tell that she enjoys everyone's unique personalities and she knows how to make that come out in her pictures. Jen even took extra pictures of us during our reception even though she wasn't being paid for that part of the wedding. She captured some great speech moments and tears. I am so grateful to have met such a cool artist--and advocate for people, creativity, uniqueness and just a good person! I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful in their photos and not have to worry about a thing on their wedding day!

Jennifer shot our engagement and wedding photos over the course of three days. We literally CANNOT…read morebe happier with both the process of working with her as well as the ultimate outcome of the hundreds of photos that she took and edited. She was a joy all the way around, but also knew how to assert (our) needs during those fun moments of family-wrangling for portraits. UPDATE: Only in speaking to other recently-wed couples did we realize the truly exceptional level of service that we got from Jennifer: she had our proofs out to us in a matter of weeks (not months, like the experience of some of our friends), and we still could not be happier with all the memories she captured! Feel free to contact me if you have any questions about our experience with Jennifer, but the opinion is simple: she was amazing, fun, professional and took GREAT photos!

Not only was…read moreNicole flexible on location and scheduling, she took the time to get the best shot which we used for our Christmas Card. Another year later we reached out to Dream Life for our Maternity photos and Nicole just took pictures of our newborn son a week ago. Nicole really takes time to get the best shots, and works with her subjects - even a crying baby! She is a delight to work with and always delivers great pictures. Can't wait for her to take more photos of our son!

The best decision you could ever make!…read more Where do I start we met Caroline at a local wedding show called WedMke and chose to meet with her as her energy seemed to be everything we were looking for. She is extremely personable and took the time to get to know us where I would say we have grown into a friendship. After meeting with her we were sold as not only did her packages have the greatest value she was reassuring and excited to be able to capture our story through her lens. We did our engagement photo shoot and my wife and I were a little nervous but she walked us through poses and helped us capture the exact vibe we wanted and did I say she completely understood lighting with shooting people of color which was huge. She brought her brilliant Brazilian vibes to every shoot we had and helped to not only coordinate on day of wedding but to tame the crowds as we all know sometimes taking group photos can be a challenge. However she did that and so much more. She truly was the gift that kept adding as she even gathered up a special surprise for our wedding day making it even more special. She truly understands photography but you gain much more than just that with her. I think she easily has the best value in the city!

They turned the disappointment of rain into gorgeous, magical memories we will cherish forever! Many of our wedding guests commented on how personable and fun Jon and Brittany were on our wedding day! They made us feel comfortable and beautiful!! They went above and beyond for us, even staying a little later than their contracted time to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted and more! We could not recommend them enough!

Amy captured so many special moments at our Wedding that I didn't even know I would want. She coordinated with our band and venue to ensure we were on time and able to sneak away for sunset pictures.

Amy's photos were beautiful from our Wedding Day and we could not be happier She sent them within 2 weeks and did an great job editing. I would recommend Amy to anyone! Thank you again :)

I can't say enough incredible things about Amy at Happy Gnome Photography. I've worked with her on…read morethree separate occasions. First, she shot our engagement photos. We wanted to do something a bit non-traditional. The whole idea started with wanting to include my Grandpa's 1932 Chevy... we knew it wouldn't make the trip out to our Boston wedding as I'd dreamed of as a little one, so instead it was the centerpiece of this shoot. Amy took this idea and ran with it... she provided balloons, brought great props, and even hooked us up with a really incredible mechanics shop for a backdrop. We had a blast, and the shoot turned out exactly how we'd hoped. I then went to Amy for a boudoir session. I told her I'd be in Milwaukee and was interested in a shoot, and within a few days she was setting up a whole shoot that would allow for a friend to do her own session, too. Amy made me feel incredibly comfortable through the entire session. She had great shot ideas and backdrops, and even brought a few accessories to share. My now-husband got his little black book as a morning-of wedding gift... he was blown away! Exactly what I was going for. :) I saved the best for last: our wedding. The incredible emotion that is felt on your wedding day is something you wish you could feel forever; the next best thing is having photos that perfectly capture the day. I still get compliments on how fantastic our photos turned out...of course, we send all the credit to Amy... we just showed up for the pics! Amy was patient, professional, and so easy to work with. She knows how to communicate with a bride on her day, and she will do everything she can to make sure you get what you want. Amy thinks of the little things, like reminding us not to wear socks to our boudoir sessions (weird indents on our skin) or discreetly reminding me that if I'm putting on a strapless dress in a few hours, I should take my bra off to avoid the same marks. What a smart lady! Aside from the actual photos Amy provides, she also does a really great job with customer service post-shoot. She'll often share a "sneak peek" right after a shoot to give you a sense of what to expect, and we always got our photos much faster than I've heard others do from their photographers. She's very clear about what she'll provide and how you can use/print your photos: so important in making sure she gets credit where it's due and you get the photos you want. The payment process is easy peasy. My husband and I moved back to Milwaukee a few months after our wedding, and we plan to use Amy for every photo-worthy event that will come up (newborns, back to school, mini-sessions, anniversary parties, etc etc etc). She's that great. Book her now!
