Khanh took the pictures at 6:30 and had them edited and everything by 10:50 that night! I would HIGHLY recommend Khanh because: 1. He is very funny, yet professional. 2. Very reasonably priced 3. Good Quality Pictures!

I opted for the hair and makeup because I wanted the pictures to be flawless... but what I love best is that these pictures are not staged or stiff.

She's capturing a moment that typically no one gets to see and that's what makes her style unique. I do recommend getting prints framed. I made a gallery wall and it is the best room in our house. I would highly recommend Lentille Photography. You will not regret it!

During our second session, we brought our two dogs and she captured some funny, real moments (dogs jumping, taking the dogs on a walk, etc), as well as perfect family photos with everyone, including both dogs, staring into the camera lens. She was also the MVP of our wedding. She not only captured every moment of the day, but she ended up coordinating the event after our planner caused a few major errors. She handled everything with ease and was so approachable our wedding guests even commented on how amazing she is! I wish she could document every occasion for us because her pictures are that beautiful! Book Amanda, you won't regret it!

Some of the poses Rocio would suggest ended up being my absolute favorite -- I would have never thought to do them myself! I'm usually a very awkward person, but Julian and Rocio were able to break me out of my awkwardness and captured so many great shots. I was so excited to show my loved ones and still can't decide on which picture I like best for my new facebook picture :P In addition, just looking through their portfolio of engagement/wedding/couple pictures.... they truly do capture so much magic. I suggest them to anyone seeking professional-grade photos with a warm and friendly atmosphere. They are also GREAT at editing and put their heart into it to ensure you get quality photos with color correction and touch ups when needed. Five stars :)

We called multiple times, no answer, no call back. Drove there a few times no one was around. Eventually we got an email back with a PDF rental form, but it wasn't fillable on a phone. Come on, we are on vacation, who is carrying around a printer ?? Replied to the email for help and ... crickets. Tried calling again, sometimes you get voicemail, sometimes you don't. Either way, no one gets back to you. The place itself is worn down, didn't have much of rentals as far as we could see. After two days of trying to give them our money, we gave up and went to another spot 4 miles up the road. They got us set up in minutes with delivery. Not sure if K6 is shut down for the season or just doesn't care- but either way, don't waste precious vacation time here. Do not recommend.

Well I received several recommendations but none just wow'd me and I figured I should search Yelp duh why wouldn't a Yelp Elite come to Yelp 1st right?? Well because sometimes my fellow Yelpers are foodies and we review what we do most so I checked for local photographer and came across this hidden gem (ok hidden to me) but it's no secret to Friendswood and I'm excited to say I'm looking forward to my daughters session; from the few pics on Yelp to their Instagram I knew I wanted to have her session done by this genius!!! We have gone to the consultation and my quiet daughter was open and speaking with Mr David like she's known him so I know they will have a great session!! So looking forward to June!!! So check back late June for the update and who knows I may share a photo but until then just do like I did and check their Instagram and Website and be amazed it's like magazine celebrity shots!!

With their good recommendation, I decided to use DC Stanley as our wedding photographer. My advice to anyone who is looking for a photographer is to make sure to have a comfortable relationship with good rapport. David (DC Stanley) is very relatable and laid back. Positives: -Price. I think he hits the right price point for me. He has great packages that usually include prints, DVD for the wedding pictures, wedding book and engagement, bridal and wedding sessions. -Quality. The quality of his work is very good. He knows his way around a camera or two! I would go on his website to look at his work. -Misc. They will design invitations, save the dates, etc. I did not use their services for these, but I was aware they do have this available to you. -This is a family business. His wife, "V", does a lot of the business side and she is very responsive to all e-mails and phone calls. His studio is pretty cool. Negatives: -His studio is in Friendswood, so not easy access to everyone in Houston. Although, they are very accommodating when trying to set up a meeting (on Sundays, etc) Overall, he is a great guy and a great photographer! Can't go wrong, but wish me luck on my wedding as I will update once its all over!

'Deeserts' who created our wedding cake did a phenomenal job as well! We had lemon and almond cake in a 3 tier naked cake style and Meloney used fresh flowers to decorate - gorgeous! Everyone one was raving about the food and cake - I don't think we had a single piece left over because everyone went back for seconds. The Hall was gorgeous with chandeliers, a charming sweetheart table, a whiskey barrel cake table and linens and centerpieces provided (we filled the little vases and jars with loose flowers we brought ourselves). For a fee of $600 you're allowed to bring all your own alcohol and bartenders and security are provided. We were also able to take home all unused alcohol. We also booked the cottage for myself and my 6 bridesmaids to stay in the night before and day-of leading up to the wedding and I'm so glad we did! It was so stress free to just have everyone onsite and for just $300 it slept up to 8 people with wine and breakfast provided. Large full bath and plenty of cute picture opportunities in here as well. There's a charming grooms suite that my husband and his boys were able to hang out in prior tot he ceremony - beautiful wood and leather elements. We had an outdoor ceremony and indoor reception and it was so nice to have everything in one place. Thank you again County Line for making our big day so special!
