I researched, interviewed, and rummaged through so many portfolios all over Alabama, that by the time I decided on Keyhole I knew without a doubt they were the best! The pictures are absolutely beautiful, they really know how to tell a story. I can honestly say some of the greatest photos I have ever seen are the photos of my wedding. If your looking for a documentary style then go with Keyhole. There are no forced, awkward, or interupted moments. They are very interested in you, your wedding, and your day and I promise they will capture it without ever getting in the way or stepping on any toes. You won't even know they are there if you don't want to. But honestly, it would be a bit of a waste not to get to know them while they are with you because they really are good, genuine people! So anyways, stop researching (I already did all that) and hire Keyhole.

I had the pleasure of working with Keyhole on my wedding day. Meggan and Jeff are the most talented…read morephotographers I've ever encountered. Their photos are genuine works of art, and they capture not only the most important moments, but also the special moments that you don't even realize will be important until you view them in photos! I wish I was hosting another event, so I could hire them again! Biggest Pros: - High quality of photos and creativity! (Just take a look at their Web site and you'll see!) - They set no timeline on their wedding-day services, so you can have professional documentation of your entire wedding day - from getting ready in the morning to the after-party at a hotel! - Non-intrusive style. Meggan and Jeff are very easy to get along with, and they capture your big day's most important moments without interrupting the natural flow.

Ryan was so good with our kiddos and managed to keep their attention throughout it the entire shoot with silly jokes and noises. The pictures turned out beautifully! We will definitely be using them again in the future.

Maggie & Ryan were AMAZING!…read more I found them via google search along with a few other local photographers. Upon reviewing their work, we narrowed it down to them and one other. What sealed the deal for me was their great pricing AND the fact that they actually interact with people via social media. That's huge for me. A week or so before our arrival I was freaking about pairing outfits for my husband and me. They quickly responded on a weekend and I was so grateful. We had our photos done Friday evening. They suggested cute poses for us and even took a few solo. Maggie was nearby and fixing my crazy hair (it really has a mind of its own) and my accessories so everything looked together. My link came over quick with access to see them all and OMG I'm in love. I haven't been able to message them yet (sorry guys) to tell them how happy we are, but I sure will be ordering their digital release as soon as we are back on the ground. I recommend them to anyone. We had a fantastic experience and I seriously am in awe by their work. Thanks Ryan and Maggie! PS - Book one of their boat outings too. We didn't because we ran out of time, but it's on the list for next time!

Terrible customer service.  In short, my wife scheduled a session and canceled, but, unfortunately,…read moreshe paid in advance.  I know, always a mistake.  She canceled way in advance, but was told--no refunds.  I get it, but I'm like this isn't a large Fortune 500 company, how hard would it be to return the money thereby encouraging a customer to return when they are ready to use your service.  It's just sketchy.  I'm sure the money was spent, but it's not even about the money it's the principle.  I left a review on the company's Facebook page, and it was taken down (after the requisite snarky comments by Facebook humorists--friends of the business owner.  I think one was "poor people problems."  That comment is so true though, it is a poor person, indeed, who can't return a hundred dollars).  I feel that if no effort was expended, then a refund is reasonable request, but I'm sure it was "so much" trouble to book an appointment.

We worked with Shannon on August 3 for a small wedding. This was not our first (we are also in our…read more50's)\, and it was important for us to capture family moments. We live over 3 hours away and I was a little nervous as I didn't know anyone personally who used Shannon for their photographer. First - Shannon IS a professional. She clearly communicated to us to ensure we were happy with the final product. I do not photograph well. I am so glad I listened to her because at the end of the session, she asked us to do a few different poses. I'm not that adventurous -- she made me feel comfortable. Her suggestions turned out to be my favorite. Trust me, if you hire her - LISTEN to what she says. It's well worth it. She sent my gallery over within a week and I was blown away at how much I liked the photos. Usually, I have a hard time finding 1 picture that I like. Shannon was very flexible yet firm and clear in her direction. I felt comfortable and confident in her ability. I honestly think I would drive 3 hours to use her again.

Her prices are high, her service is shit, only half of the photos were usable and the other half were missing some really major moments- not a single bridal or groom solo!!! Arrived 30 minutes late to the reception and the entrace included fireworks and she said "someone should have told me"- I told you by telling you what time to arrive like WHAT?? Zero outreach, communication was always from me, she canceled our engagement photo session after we had already booked tickets and hotels and scheduled all of our other wedding appointments around since we were flying in from California- zero attempts to reschedule, zero apologies, zero engagement photos for the wedding. I mean there was no lack of trying to blame everything on us- we are across the country! Every single shot her second shooter took had to be tossed. They were so embarrassing and beyond amateur. You will see her best work on her site so I will add some of the ones she doesn't show you later on if I can bring myself to. The few pictures we got from Lacey that we liked were great! But there was so many mis-steps, the worst communication and just a terrible overall experience. Please do not hesitate to contact me I could go on and on but every time I think about this experience it truly upsets me to the extent that we still have never printed a wedding book because we don't have enough photos to fill in the story- not a single food photo, no photos of our lovely center pieces, no bridesmaids dresses, we arranged a lovely gift bag for all the guests I wanted photographed but the shitty second shooter got her hands on those so total moot, she was also in charge of the groom/groomsman getting ready so no suit photos.... take my word for it there are sooooooo many great photographers out there and I thought I had done my due diligence so when I had red flags I kept ignoring them but I should have canceled her the moment she nonchalantly canceled out engagement shoot.

She brought Lacey as her associate/assistant photographer for the day. How lucky were we to have 2 great photographers?! I'm not quite positive which specific images were edited by which photographer, but Lacey posted one image on her Instagram account, and I absolutely loved it - the colors, light, the moment - just perfect. (I'm sure that specific photo had to be her editing). Overall, Lacey's sweet and calm demeanor kept me at ease on the day of the wedding; she was a pleasure to communicate with afterwards; and the photos are just beautiful and captured the spirit of the best day of our lives. We'll be sure to reach out for those maternity, baby, and family portraits in the future! NOLA is lucky to have you, Lacey, but we hope you'll maintain your business on the west coast when you're in SF :)

YOU HAVE FOUND THE BEST ON THE GULF COAST!…read more Tammy and Jason are the most personable yet professional photographer duo you will ever find. Given my love of photography, my wife put me in charge of finding the perfect photographer for our wedding. We interviewed A LOT of respectable photographers along the Gulf Coast and reviewed just about everyone's portfolio in detail. I could not have been happier with our decision. Tammy and Jason have this down to a true art. Tammy has a lot of fun with the babies and making them smile while Jason is scanning the group to make sure people are visible and in flattering positions. They do it so seamlessly. Our formal portraits were a blast! They are so engaging and fun for all three events they did for us. You can tell this is not just a job for them, but they live and love this life. Their equipment is also top notch. Between the cameras (and backup cameras), the lighting, and their comm system they will not only take great pictures, but help you and the coordinator to make sure your wedding is PERFECT. Their price is very fair. They are not the cheapest, but they are the best. When your wedding is over and you are sharing stories with your growing family, the photos is what you will have. Honest to goodness some of the photos we got back could be covers to wedding magazines. I can't wait to use them again for our baby pictures when the time comes. You know you picked the right vendor when your friends and family are raving about them months after the event... "Worth every penny!", "Such amazing people." Our wedding was perfect and it was in part due to Jason and Tammy.
