My fiance and I were in the market for a photographer. We'd considered many options, including…read morehiring a photography student looking to beef up their portfolio. Then I stumbled across Sara's photoblog. It was obvious that she had talent. From her blog it appeared that she'd been a professional photographer for several years shooting primarily child/maternity/family sessions and was only recently breaking into shooting weddings. At the time she'd only shot one or two weddings but the results were fantastic. So I shot her an email to see about an engagement shoot. Not only did the photos for the engagement shoot turn out great but my fiance and I both felt very comfortable with her. She's sarcastic and has a great sense of humor like us so we were immediately at ease, and it shows in the photos. She was great with the turn around time, basically had them completely touched up and edited in the exact time she'd stated it would take. Since then she's done some more weddings and the photos posted on her website/photo blog demonstrate consistent high quality talent. Once we received our digital proofs we immediately decided we were going to sign on with her for the wedding. Her prices are more than reasonable, she's got boat loads of talent and you feel like you can be yourself while she snaps away. Highly recommend.

As the mom of a teenage daughter in need of headshots for some opportunities in NYC, I was looking…read morefor quality and value. At the recommendation from a friend and after looking at some of the work online (which is beautiful), I connected with Ben from Halo Creative Studios. My daughter was nervous about a professional photo shoot, but both Ben and stylist Shana put her completely at ease. They treated her as a valued client and were very thoughtful about keeping her styling age-appropriate. The studio is stylish and versatile - I can see it working for a variety of clients and Ben is super creative. He has worked with big stars and little ones (my kid is still the little one). I appreciated the attention to detail and fast turnaround. When we walked out of the session with Ben, my daughter turned to me and said "Mom, I can't wait to see those photos!" High praise from the one really nervous to go in :) The photos are stunning and ready for Broadway professionals in NYC next week.

A week later or so I went for the viewing of the images. They came out beautiful. I did a payment plan and once you pay everything in full you can receive your pictures. However, I was told via email that Dan would reach out to me once they were ready to pick up. I never heard back. I sent numerous emails with no response. I just want an update on the black book and digital photos. This was not my first shoot. The last one I did with another photographer and received my images via link two weeks later. Not sure what the hold up is. I'm ok waiting for my images I just want an update. Just poor customer service.

I met with Daniel Doke on the recommendation of a friend who used him for her wedding. She went…read morewith Curtis - one of Daniel's "employees," as he was more within her price range. Daniel was out of our range as well, so we set up a meeting with Daniel. A few days before our appointment, I told another friend that we were meeting him and she immediately started telling me horror stories about her cousin's wedding, when Curtis was the photographer. She said he took photos she didn't want, didn't take photos she did want, held them too long so they missed part of the party, etc. I figured everyone's experience is difference and despite our hesitation from this review, my fiance & I met with Curtis anyway. When we showed up, we were very impressed with the studio. It's a guest house off Daniel's real house and is very warm and inviting - nice couch, fireplace, framed pictures all over - very neat and clean. Daniel and Curtis were both there and left us for a few minutes to peruse their albums. Once they came back to chat with us, we found it a bit weird that Daniel did 98% of the talking. Yes, it's his business, but they both knew we were there to meet with Curtis, as he was the one we were interested in hiring. Curtis said one or two things, but we were not able to really get a feel for him, except to see that he wasn't very "forward" - which is something I feel a photographer needs to be. They need to feel comfortable jumping in at any moment to get a shot, but not ruin that moment. This was the main reason we didn't go with them. Yes, I had my friend's horror stories in the back of my mind, but if we had been able to chat with him - with Daniel jumping in every so often, instead of the other way around - we might have hired him. I think it's good that Daniel was there to support his employee and try to sell his business, but I think he should have let the photographer we were there to meet with do the talking.

Because I booked…read moresomewhat late their regular photographers were unavailable but they did set me up with Jonathan Tadliello who turned out to be really great! He and his co-photographer did a wonderful job at our wedding and I absolutely loved our pictures. They came up with some really fun ideas for poses and they didn't miss a moment of the day! They were very professional and imaginative! I am giving them four stars instead of five only because of the price point.

We got married last summer at the Beauport hotel in Gloucester and they were recommended by the…read morehotel so we didn't hesitate to book them as we saw an album they had at the hotel and we loved the photos. Fast forward to almost a year later and we still are so unhappy with our entire collection of wedding photos that we still have not been able to pick any we love to give to our families. We felt rushed throughout the entire wedding and as a bride I did not need the added stress. There were so many photos he took on the beach and like 89% of those was everyone squinting and sweating. He did not touch up or clean up any and we both felt like we looked awful. So many candid photos of the reception too that did not flatter my guests or everyone seemed awkward. I just would have expected more from this photographer. It bothers us that the photos he and his wife took highlighted unflattering facial expressions or body angles. I wish he would have spent more time making sure I was looking happier or smiling or at least not looking stiff and awkward in our poses. It is not easy to be photogenic and it is their job to ensure the pictures come out amazing. You can't take the time back and I am so regretful we didn't research this better or go with someone else who was more professional in their photo shoots. Now we are just left with a bunch of photos that every time we look at ourselves we are so unhappy.

Hiring Adam to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made for our big day. We had…read morea backyard wedding with about 100 people and wanted to ensure we captured the spirit of the day but could also do some formal / posed photos. Adam was exactly what we had hoped for. We want to commend Adam on his preparation with us. He was also flexible as we had different areas we wanted to take photos that had very different vibes/ and levels of natural light. He was so creative with his photos, using different parts of the landscape to take photos that took our breath away. He was relaxed, But aware of our timeline, which totally reduced our stress of getting everything accomplished that we wanted to. We had several guests commend on his relaxed and fun personality, and he only added to excitement of the day. We should also mention that Adam delivered our sneak peak photos within days and they were simply stunning. I became emotional when I saw pictures of my now husband and me doing our first look, and some really special moments with my preschool-aged daughter (he was great with the kids!) We can't thank Adam enough for memorializing our wedding day and will hire him in the future for family photos, portraits and other events as they come up. We couldn't recommend him highly enough!!

My wife and I were fortunate to have a perfect wedding day and have only good things to say about everyone who was involved, from our wedding planner to the venue staff to the florist to the band -- but Lola still stood out by a mile. She mapped out our sites, organized our (large) wedding party with aplomb, and radiated positive energy for 10 hours!!! In addition to providing us with a wedding album that is perhaps my single favorite tangible possession, Lola is a gem of a person and an absolutely pleasure to work with. I can't recommend her highly enough.
