    OH. MY. FREAKIN'. GOODNESS. Doing this was fabulous!…read more Standing on the top platform, strapped in and someone holding you from the back as your leaning over the platform with both hands on the bar...I didn't know what I was thinking when I organized a group of people to come here and learn to swing like they do in the circus. I know I was thinking it'd be fun and that indeed, it was. For $35/person (cash or check only), you get the basics in learning the safe and correct way to swing on the bar, letting go of the bar, doing a back flip as you land and last but not least, being "caught" by a Trapeze Pro staff member. Marek and his staff of Daryl, Hope and another lady were so friendly, encouraging and patient that they make you feel at ease as your fear of falling or hurting yourself sinks in as you climb the ladder up to the platform. They're first concern is your safety and of course, making sure you have fun. What I learned is that you gotta give 110% trust these guys. They've been doing this for ages and when they bark their orders, you just gotta do as they say without thinking about it...even if the order is to let go of the bar so you can fall down to the net. The location is definitely lovely. A giant trapeze rig in the outdoors, surrounded by trees and sometimes, rattlesnakes and mountain lions (we had the fortunate pleasure of not seeing either). There are picnic benches and seats for you to sit at. You can bring food but they just ask you to dispose of your own waste. There's a port-o-potty on the grounds as well. Come wearing track pants, sweats or leggings and flip flops or sandals are ideal since when flying, you should be shoe-less or you can wear socks. T-shirts are fine, but since you'll be hanging upside down, you'll either want to tuck in your shirt or you may be flashing your fellow friends. My group of 8 got around 8 swings each on the trapeze. Group are usually 7-10 people and if you have more than 10 you get a 10% discount. In planning a group, I suggest you collect money from everyone BEFORE you arrive because if someone bails out last minute, at least you've gotten their money and aren't stuck paying for them out of your pocket (which is what happened to me). So hold onto that white trapeze bar, look at the Tibetan flag and when Hope says "Ready!" you make sure you bend your knees so that when she says "Hep!" you jump up and there you are...swinging on a trapeze.

    Some of the best things in life are the experiences that follow you through your life. I am a…read moreperson absolutely petrified of high places. I am also someone in control of my daily destiny, as well as that of others. This makes for a double whammy with the Trapeze Pro experience. . . Enter Marek (Maw-Rek) and his incredible crew. First, the location is set in the beautiful back country area of Sonoma. You can't help but relax as you drive through the trees to your destination. Everything is set up outside, so YES, you are going to be flying up in the trees (well not IN the trees, but with them). There are trampolines and other hanging apparatus to enjoy yourself with while waiting for your class to begin. Second, Marek, and the entire staff are all so very nice, funny, and encouraging. You feel safe, and you "know you can do this". . . Instructions are clear and concise. Listen to the instructions, . . then turn that logical (which will suddenly become illogical when fear strikes you) brain off, and listen to your instructor! They know exactly what they are doing. I feel for Sharon, as I had a tendency to 'freeze' while on top of the platform. But, she would keep talking, and I would eventually get myself back in order. Keep Smiling!!! . . . You can do this!!! And, Marek, scolding me for 'trying to think it out'. . . Let go of the control button, and just listen to your instructor! With a couple practice swings to get you familiar with the process, and comfortable with actually being on the trapeze, you will find yourself getting excited to complete the process, which will be to release and have someone 'catch' you. It's very exciting, it's very scary (at first), and it's all very much worth your efforts. You will leave with a bit more confidence in what you can accomplish.

    Fast forward through my original 6000 word review, which I already trimmed down and a few months to…read morethe night before our wedding, Luke was to make the drive to Carmel, CA and meet us in our wedding cottage in which we offered him a room. (PLEASE look for my *full* review here: http://www.lukesnyderstudio.com/2013/12/17/carmel-wedding-elopement-of-brianna-and-rodney/ ) I'm impressed with my ability to control my enthusiasm even down to 6000 words. Yelp won't allow me that much space, but it's worth the read, especially if you're reading these trying to decide if he's "the one." HE IS.) The second he showed up I knew in my heart our meeting was meant to be. He was every single one of my gut feelings I had about him and more. He showed up at our door with so much sincere passion to be there. He had an amazing attitude and an amazing smile to show it- the kind that lights up the room. He sat down with me and my husband and listened to us. He listened to us beam about our magical trip so far, he listened to our excitement over the coming wedding and he listened to every single detail we pointed out about our cottage and how "meant to be" it all was.... all while taking candid shots we would eventually be surprised to find. I don't know of a single photographer that would take this much time and careful thoughtfulness. Those are now some of my favorite wedding photos as they would come to be our last photos of being engaged. We hadn't even thought of it. We would come to know how much he listened and how much he retained when we eventually went through our wedding photos. He somehow captured every detail from the glass doorknobs to the dutch doors... Luke listens. This, we believe, is one of the most important qualities you can find in a photographer. If you look at his work on his website it's easy to see that he does; no two weddings are alike. They each look so characteristic of his subject's unique story. To say a few things more about his character, we had only one guest at our wedding and my two sisters who were our ministers. The energy, authenticity and personality of the photographer was very important to us. We chose every single detail with such meaning and symbolism- even the photographer. I still cannot believe we found this in him. It's SO MUCH to look for and he provided all. He was the PERFECT ENERGY to add to our special day and there is not a single person that could have taken his place. He was even there for my pre-wedding makeup when I freaked out having not been used to wearing so much. He was the calm energy there to validate that me washing all of my friend's great work off was OK. It sounds small typing it, but it was huge. I just appreciate Luke so much... which I'm fairly certain is obvious. I almost forgot to mention that Luke showed up with a bottle of wine for us and a "moon" of honey- because did I mention he is a bee-keeper? Yes, not only is he an amazing human being, he's also a gifted photographer and beekeeper. The honey was one of my favorite wedding presents EVER and delicious, too. I love remembering it! Now that I have gushed over my sentimentality for Luke, let me move on to my wedding photos. I'll probably cry through this part. They're beautiful. They're stunning. They're magical. They're authentic. They're creative. They're moving. They're REAL. They're artistic. They're enchanting. They're one hundred million of the most incredible adjectives you can think of. We are IN LOVE with them... every one of them... even the ones where my hair is windblown and my makeup was wiped off from nuzzling into my husband. Luke drove us to a beautiful spot I hadn't been to in years to take more photos. We didn't take posey, creating a moment photos- he took photos of us IN the moment, enjoying one another. This is why I say they are real. He even surprised us with a bottle of champagne. He blew us away with his angles. I am sincerely telling you that we are still puzzled by how he captured photos from the angles he did. We didn't even notice him snapping away. He's so talented! I simply cannot say it enough. He was the best photographer we could have found and our pictures prove it. You really will get what you pay for when it comes to wedding photography. I'd have paid Luke double for what we received from him. It was worth every penny and more. If you're looking for the total package in a photographer trust my review and the reviews of many others. He is your answer. Thank you again Luke! You have touched our lives and enriched our special day. We will always be grateful to you! Thank you for giving us TRUST in our photographer- it's one of the BEST parts of working with you!

    This is definitely "as good as it gets." Luke and his brother Sky recently photographed my…read morefriend's wedding this labor day weekend and their work was beyond what I expected. Helping plan the wedding from Chicago I found Luke on Yelp. I sent his website link to my friend and they absolutely loved him!!! Luke and Sky have a great eye that catches the most unnoticed moments of the day. Creating a "delicious" vantage point that is captured in their pictures. Beyond their photographs, Luke and Sky are thoughful, kind, and passionate about their work. I highly recommend them!!
