Based on the reviews that had been posted, I made an appointment to get a headshot done. Kuwan was…read morenot in Southfield, as stated on the website. I traveled to Troy for the session. I explicitly talked about the image I wanted to portray, During the shooting session, he told me to squinch my eyes to make my smile look genuine. I actually have a genuine smile, but I complied. I also showed him an image that was taken 5 years ago that I liked. At the end of the session, he told me that he wanted me to see how he finished a headshot to give it a professional edge. He picked an image from the session. It was not the image I chose. When he emailed the image three weeks later, I told him that I did not approve of the touchup. I instructed that when he touched up the chosen image to leave my eyebrows alone. His touchup showed a highly arched brow that did not extend to the outer brow bone. The eyes were squinched, making them appear irritated and the makeup was heavy. I didn't hear from Kuwan for a couple of months after he told me that my brows weren't even. When I finally contacted him again, it took a couple of weeks more for him to get back in touch. The first image he sent back was the same one that I had not chosen and had issues with. I contacted him by phone and asked if he even knew which image I had chosen. He told me how to go back to the website and choose the image. A week later he sent an untouched head shot with red eyes. He said he only did a minimal job because I had complained about the heavy makeup. This was not the professional job I was expecting for $150. I will call American Express to get my fee returned. I have the photos to prove this sham of a professional photographer.

I cannot be happier about making the decision to go with Special Moments for my wedding…read morephotographs! I was referred to Special Moments by my venue, and decided to check them out. Initially, upon my decision of going with Special Moments, I met with Patrick A. in the office, and he was just super nice, and awesome about explaining every aspect of the process to me, finding a package that fit my budget and needs, and he even was nice enough for giving me a little deal because of my husband being active duty in the military. He did not have to do that, and that's what really cemented my decision to go with them. Carrie B. was my photographer and she was great about keeping in contact with me about any and every question and concern I had during the entire process. She was super adaptable to the style of photos I wanted. The family photos were super pose-y, which is great for frames and family, and then she took AMAZING photos that were more candid and unconventional, which my husband, friends, and I prefer. She had a great personality, which was HUGE for me, because my husband and I are so awkward and uncomfortable being in front of the camera, so she made us feel less nervous with jokes and directing us where to put what appendage and how to tilt our heads and constantly telling me, "Jenni, oh my gosh stop crossing your eyes!! haha!" We even ran into a little situation right before the reception where there was another wedding's family blocking a staircase that is used for photographs. Not sure why, but the family became very rude with the wedding party when we asked them if we could borrow the staircase for 5 minutes for pictures. They became aggressive and started insulting my wedding party, and I was beside myself, because honestly, what a nightmare. Carrie B. came to the rescue and politely confronted the family and explained why we needed the staircase. She just took charge! And they listened! I was like...woah, okay, you go girl! I was totally impressed. Carrie also worked with my DJ to make sure the wedding schedule happened in such a timely manner that I did not have to worry about going over my time limit, and paying for an extra half hour or so to get all the major shots I wanted. She just kept things going right along! After the wedding, I was constantly in touch with Kristi in the office via phone and email. Yes, I am a control freak, and I had a million requests and questions, but she was always such a pleasure to talk to, and she made everything happen! She always responded to my emails within minutes, and gave me peace of mind. I got my online proofs within days. My prints, High Resolution Disk, and Coffee Table Book are all to DIE FOR, and I had them in my hands within a month after my wedding!! Kristi and I were constantly joking about which pictures to select for the prints and books because I had so many good shots to choose from, I swear I couldn't have done it without her help. Worth every penny. No regrets. Totally recommend.

AJ does all of the hottest events in Detroit and I know why... he's very professional, patient, and…read morepersonable. He is great at what he does and his work speaks for him. Picture quality is always perfect and he is also able to print the pictures right on the spot (within minutes). He takes all forms of payment (cash, PayPal, credit card, you name it) and I think that's a very convenient factor that sets him apart from the competition. While at an event, Aj took a few pictures of my daughter while she was playing and they turned out to be super adorable. I even made a special request and had him take a few pictures of my daughter and I and he snapped and snapped until I was totally satisfied with my hair and poses (I know, I know lol). If you're looking for a photographer or have photobooth needs, Aj is your go to!! You will not be disappointed.

He arrived early to take pre-celebration photos, facilitated many candid shots throughout the event itself, and took many 'group' photos (family, certain friend groups, etc.) as requested.

Robert was were central in documenting our day--and making sure we have many beautiful memories to look back on. We thank him for his professionalism, kindness, and flexibility.

It definitely was for us!

I am reluctant to write this review because I don't want to contact Rosy and have her booked up but…read moreher photography skills are too good to keep quiet about.... I met Rosy through a friend and when I was looking for amazing photographers for my daughter's 1st birthday, our mutual friend recommended her. I booked the shoot during a blizzard but Rosy was there and excited to do our shoot. Her studio gives off a fun, retro vibe and exudes Rosy's crisp, clean photography style. My daughter was TERRIBLE during this 30 minute shoot. I thought the pictures would come out blurry due to her all-out craziness but when I got the proofs I was blown away. Rosy not only managed to capture beautiful pictures of my baby girl, but pictures that capture her personality. I don't know how she worked her magic to get these amazing shots but she moved around with my daughter and honored the craziness that comes with a toddler, which I was so grateful for. I have most recently done a family photo shoot that also included a few engagement pictures at the DIA. Rosy knew exactly what style I was going for and knew where to take us to get the best shots. We now have a 1 year old and a 4 year old but she again managed to snap the perfect shots between toddler melt downs and run offs. We selected one of the hottest and humid days of May but our pictures are nothing short of magazine worthy and again, capture our family's personality and bond. She is simply amazing at what she does and adds a sense of calmness that is appreciated when you are preoccupied with perfectly capturing your most important life moments.

**Please keep in mind this is an initial review - we have had our engagement portraits taken and…read moreI'll update once we have our wedding weekend shot by SLS** The process of finding a wedding photographer had been a lengthy one with a lot of disappointments inbetween. With my fiance living several thousand miles away, we had set up a week and a half of all-wedding madness with appointments around the clock including one with Silver Lights Studio who had been recommended to us by some friends. Setting up the appointment was easy. Rosy and Shaun are located quite a while away from us in Allen Park but we arrived to a cute studio with vintage touches and bright accents - it's a happy place. We discussed our needs, our expectations, pricing and everything included in their packages. I'll be the first one admit that I am not an easy person to please but impressing my Dad is even more than a challenge. He's extremely quiet and doesn't seem to express his opinion but he liked their drive and their creativity, the brightness of the colors and their all around-fun attitude. Their albums are of high quality, their hourly rates are fair and they're okay with shooting outside of their 'quirky fun' style - they're flexible and open to ideas. After weighing our options, we signed on the dotted line. We took our engagement photos with them a few weeks ago at the DIA which is of particular interest to me. We took photos outside and inside and both Rosy and Shaun came along with plenty of ideas for our shoot (which we were happy to give a 'yay' or 'nay' to) and the open-mindedness to take a few photos in areas we had in mind (like in front of the Diego Rivera mural which is a personal favorite of mine). Although we were somewhat stiff at times they made us feel relaxed and open and we ended up having a lot of fun. They're a new studio and always so busy with clients but they take the time to address my concerns, answer my questions and take notes on my ideas even though my wedding is next year. We can't wait for them to shoot our wedding next year - I'll be sure to report back!
