Katie and Meghan were excelent to work with. My husband and I joke that we left wishing feeling like friends of them. They were professional, timely and had a great attitude about everything involving our wedding. The pictures we recieved are really what recieve the five star rating from me. We have heard over and over again, "Your pictures look like they are out of a magazine," or "these are the best wedding pictures we have ever seen." They are right. Our wedding pictures were exactly what we wanted. Photojournalistic, real, fun, and captured each moment of a day that only happens once. Wedding pictures are such an important part of the wedding experience. Using Brio Images as your wedding day photographers assures you that you will get what you are asking for... and more!

We are…read morenot only impressed with the photos she took of our day, but also how well she was able to organize/facilitate the whole process. (Which was especially impressive to accomplish with such a large wedding party). We would recommend Katie to any of our friends and family. She was the easiest decision we made when planning our wedding, and we could not be happier that our paths crossed.

I was instantly impressed in our pre-wedding meeting, as she adeptly navigated all of the opinions and ideas in the room. The day of the wedding she was a delight to work with. She kept everything in order and on schedule, but in a way where it felt like she was enjoying the day along with us. And the photos... WOW! All of the incredible emotion of the day that I loved in her portfolio - I could not have been happier with how she captured the same memories for our wedding. I could not be happier with our choice to hire Sally as our wedding photographer.

I love Sally. Just love her…read more I met her several years ago through a mutual friend. She has since taken professional photos of myself and coworkers for my "day job", shot my wedding (marriage didn't work out, but boy were the photo's beautiful), took some family photos for my parent's 50th, and now has taken some photos for use on a new website I am creating for my retirement gig - my profile yelp picture was taken by Sally. Like the other reviewers, I do not particularly enjoy having my photo taken, but Sally always makes it fun and the photos that she gets as a result of her ability to make her subjects feel at ease are phenomenal. She also has great, creative ideas and is willing to do almost anything to get the perfect shot - from trudging out onto a frozen lake Minnetonka as mentioned by one reviewer, to showing up at my farm ready and willing to climb into pig pens to take photos of piglets. (Well, maybe not so "ready" - the sparkly flip flops had to go...But once I had her in some waders, she was unstoppable). I can and do recommend her highly to anyone looking for a photographer. You will be so pleased.

We're not saying Studio Twelve:52 is magic... but also, yes we are. From the first "Hey, did we…read morejust become best friends?!" email to the final gallery drop that made us cry happy tears (again), Kasey and Tyler were everything we didn't know we needed. Organized, hilarious, dog-loving photography wizards who somehow made us feel like models and like ourselves all at once. Our wedding photos? Literal art. The experience? 11/10. Would get married again just for more sneak peeks. Officially obsessed and cannot wait to see Kasey and Tyler again soon!!!

We are OVER THE MOON with our final wedding photos, and know that we will see them in the future for our family photos next!! -Fun sessions! - Kasey & Tyler make you feel so at ease! We have not taken professional photos prior to meeting them, and they made us feel SO comfortable & natural. They are fabulous at directing poses, and amazed us how efficient they were in organizing large group/family photos! - Professionalism! - They are extremely efficient, organized, and detailed! From our initial contact with them, we were provided thorough and detailed documents through our entire process. It was easy to make payments through their online system, and also utilize their online gallery. They have clearly done the wedding photo process before....and done it WELL!! Just so easy to work with. - Transparency! - We were a couple planning in the middle of COVID. We contacted Kasey & Tyler about potential rescheduling, and we were so thankful of how flexible they were and how they worked with us. We were updated through any and all situations. It is so evident how much Kasey & Tyler care about their wedding couples!! I believe this is a huge difference that sets them apart from other businesses! - Quality! - THE PHOTOS!! Just breathtaking. SO detailed, SO many shots, and the editing is natural and top-notch. They capture the candid moments so well! - Wedding Day Guidance! - We did not hire a wedding planner....but seriously, Kasey essentially became that on our day! We filled out an extensive wedding timeline planning sheet that we appreciated they offered to us....many things we wouldn't have thought of! Through the entire day, she (& Tyler!) continued to notice the smallest details (ex: necklace position out of place, hair binder on a hand, etc), and was so essential in keeping our "wedding timeline" moving. The day goes by SO fast, but they make sure you're still getting EVERY shot, hugely due to following the timeline so well....while still keeping the bride and groom happy and calm! Our day would have looked hugely different without their help, seriously. - Packages! - I loved that ALL the details were included in their package options and laid out clearly, no questions! The main "items" we were searching for in a package.....x2 shooters, option for more time to be added, engagement session INCLUDED, professional wedding album INCLUDED, and unlimited downloads/prints due to getting the printing right.....CHECK! All of the "must-have's" a bride is looking for.....they have it and again so transparent about what they offer!! And such fair pricing!! Pup-Lovers! - Honestly, this was initially a HUGE draw for us of how dog-friendly they are! We have a chocolate lab and it was important for us to have him there on our wedding day. Kasey & Tyler were both so comfortable and great at taking pictures with and of him! Some of our favorite shots of our whole wedding album are us with our pup! All in all....we legit cannot say enough good things about Studio Twelve:52, and working with Kasey & Tyler. Check them out...you will NOT be disappointed!!

I hired De la Vue based upon a recommendation from a family member. As an out of state bride, I…read morewas really nervous about finding a photographer. From the very first interaction that I had with Rachel, I knew that she was going to do an absolutely wonderful job and that I had nothing to worry about. Rachel and I had a couple of lengthy phone conversations where we discussed what I wanted and the vision for me wedding. I met Rachel and her husband, Rob, (her second shooter/assistant) in real life, for the first time a couple of days before the wedding. In addition to hiring Rachel for our wedding, we also hired her to do an engagement shoot. My husband and I wanted to do something a little quirky and we wanted to have the shoot at the State Fair. Rachel was more than happy to accommodate. But, as the date got closer, we realized that the weather wasn't going to cooperate with us. So, we changed the venue to The Conservatory at Como Park. This really worked out for the best. Our photos are stunning! Words can not describe how truly beautiful our photos are! Rachel and Rob knew that we still wanted that quirky flare to our photos so after we finished at The Conservatory, they suggested a second shooting location. It was so very nice of them to spend more than our allotted time with us to make sure that we had everything that we wanted. We really got the best of both worlds from this photo shoot. We also had such a fun time with Rachel and Rob that day! Rachel and Rob are warm, friendly, down to Earth, and talented! You can't ask for anything more. We really felt like we were hanging out with friends. After the photo shoot at The Conservatory, we were really excited for them to shoot our wedding just a couple of days later. At our wedding, Rachel and Rob pulled out all the stops. I had some really demanding things that I wanted photographs of - like night photos near a bonfire and night photos under twinkle lights. Rachel made sure that I got photos of absolutely everything that I wanted on my wedding day. And...to make us feel even extra special, Rachel and Rob brought us a super amazing gift basket, framed photo of us from The Conservatory photo shoot, and the DVD with our photos from The Conservatory photo shoot. It made us feel so very special! Again, we really felt like Rachel and Rob weren't just our photographers but our friends. We just got our photos from the wedding - it only took them about a month - YAY! I can't even explain how happy I am with them! They are seriously the best photos that I have ever seen! I couldn't be happier with the way that everything turned out! Even though we live all the way in California, we will be using De la Vue, again, in the future! If you want amazing photos and a great experience, hire De la Vue!

Truly, something I will always cherish, but even beyond the gorgeous images the experience of really spending time with Santa is etched in my heart.

That was before we spent three hours together browsing through Sky Focus's blog and watching the assortment of beautiful, high-quality, tear-jerking wedding videos of total and complete strangers. Of course, Matt changed his mind and there we were, all set up with Sky Focus for our wedding day videography. Fast forward a few months and we're preparing for a family vacation of fourteen of us in the Dominican Republic. We were trying to figure out the perfect Christmas gift for my elderly grandparents, when I remembered Sky Focus's "Honeymoon" package. Essentially, Sky Focus supplies you with an HD Go Pro, you take it on your honeymoon, take the footage of a lifetime, and give it back to Sky Focus to edit. Then, voila, an amazing honeymoon documentary. We decided this was the perfect idea for our family trip, and Sky Focus was all for it. After a week of taking so-so footage, we were apprehensive about how our video would turn out. Well, we were wrong. Chris turned the video around in less than a week and it was no less magical than any of his gorgeous wedding videos. Without any suggestions from us, he nailed the music, the vibe, the sentiment, and everything good there was to be had on our family vacation. One family member was missing from the film and I let Chris know--my fault, since I didn't give him a "family list" of people to make sure were included. Within three hours he had that family member smoothly fit into the video like it had been there all along. I cannot say enough about Sky Focus's raw, artistic talent, dedication, and ability to story tell with few words. After this, we are more excited than ever for our wedding film. If he can make something so wonderful out of such mediocre footage (that we, unsophisticated, wobbly, awkward videographers took) we have no doubt about our big day. Highly, highly recommend.

The guys at Sky Focus were a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. They were respectful of my budget but their services truly are worth every cent that they charge. Chris and Paresh were extremely professional yet very warm on the day of our wedding. They seemed happy to be there and we were honored to have them. It was about 3 months in between our wedding and when we received the trailer and DVD (no big deal--I had no preconceived notions of when this should arrive) and it was the most beautiful surprise when it did. Obviously in hiring these guys I'd viewed countless trailer videos online, but seeing their cinematic camera work and insightful editing eye applied to our day was absolutely breathtaking. There are not enough flattering adjectives in the dictionary to describe how we feel about this video. I am confident that our children's children will watch it and feel a tugging on their heart strings for how in love their grandparents were. I am serious--it's impossible even a stranger to watch this and not feel something. Just to be totally up front about this, please, watch our trailer on the Sky Focus website and see what you think: http://www.skyfocusblog.com/emily-jeff-trailer/ We cannot thank Sky Focus enough, and so the way we will continue to thank them is to send them as many brides as humanly possible. If you think you can live without videography, you are WRONG. Pictures won't cut it. Our photographer was amazing, but there are nuances that still images will always miss. If you have the ability to hire Sky Focus for your wedding, I am beyond confident that you will be over the moon with the result.
