Our entire family was getting together for the first time in 4 years so I knew we needed some…read moreupdated family photos. I researched online, emailed several photographers, and finally chose Rachel for our photo shoot. She was very understanding of our restrictions. We wanted iconic Key West with various different backdrops in close proximity that were all paved and easy to walk on. My father-in-law has a hard time getting around and has to use a cane so we tailored the shoot to suit his needs. Rachel and I discussed several areas before settling on the perfect location near the Raw Bar. That's our favorite restaurant on the island. It is located near a cute tourist shop, a coffee shop with a gorgeous Key West mural, and the boat dock. This allowed plenty of backdrops within a very short walk, all very iconic Key West with bright colors and water views. After communicating via email we all met on the day of the shoot. Rachel was so nice, upbeat, and friendly. She had a fantastic report with the entire family and we quickly felt like friends. She was a quick photographer which was nice so we could give our father in law some breaks in between pictures. She posed and arranged us to make the photo look the best it possibly could. That can be difficult to manage with 5 adults! I was amazed that she was able to get around 100 shots in only half an hour. These were all gorgeous! About two weeks after the shoot we got a link to the photo gallery. There we selected the 50 shots we wanted her to edit. The editing process took about two more weeks. So quick! At this point we received a second link to a gallery where we could download all of the photos. This worked flawlessly for the entire family since we are spaced out in the U.S.! I loved that we needn't worry about mailing a cd or flash drive to everyone. That was so seamless and convenient. She's the first photographer I've worked with who has done that and I loved it. It is so nice to be able to send the pictures to my favorite photo site to get them printed out and enlarged to whatever size I wish. The site also allows you to show off the photos via a slideshow which was great to share with friends and other family members. Overall, Rachel was a big bang for our buck. She has a fantastic personality for this business and worked well with all 5 of us! That isn't always as easy as you might think. She was very detail oriented and critical which left our photos looking flawless. Rachel was always in constant communication with me which I really appreciated since I was planning this from 3,000 miles away! These are special memories we will preserve and treasure for the rest of our lives. I would definitely look Rachel up again if we wanted to do another shoot in Key West.

Rachel Ligon is not a great photographer. She is an amazing photographer! Lets face it, picking a…read morephotographer may be the most important aspect of a wedding - the memories recorded will be shared for a lifetime. Choosing Rachel was one of the best decisions we made. When deciding on a photographer, my husband and I both researched potential photographers in Key West, when we compared notes, we had both chosen Rachel! A true professional who was fun to work with and highly creative with her shots, she is an easy going spirit who put everyone at ease in front of her lens. Our friends and family all commented on how terrific she was to work with - directive and in control with our large group but also playful and fun so everyone enjoyed the experience. She handled family members, irate hotel managers, and irritating "photo bombers" with professional integrity. She helped turned a potential disaster - the golf cart breaking down as we raced to catch the sunset - in to a fun moment caught on camera that we now can all laugh about. Of course, the sunset pictures were amazing!! Rachel is a consummate professional. She is highly creative, and has an exceptional eye for composition and color. Our wedding photos are not filled with the typical mundane wedding photos, but rather many spontaneous moments of laughter and love.

Planning for a destination wedding can be a daunting task. But having a family member that lives in…read moreKey West was definitely a big bonus. He referred me to Dan Leatherman and Key West Casual Weddings. My wife and I renewed our vows recently and couldn't ask for anything more. It transpired rather quickly with a few emails & text messages going back and forth for a few weeks. He performed the services that we wanted at Smathers Beach at sunset. But it was a whole lot more than just that. He was like a concierge with booking everything else. Hair and makeup for the Mrs at our hotel nearby, and flowers were delivered there also.Plus reservations at a restaurant nearby, right on the water. All we had to do was show up at our designated location an hour before sunset. Highly recommend Dan and his services if you're looking for a wedding day you'll never forget.

We decided to do a first look and then John drove us around town so that we could get pictures around Key West which was important to us too. I highly suggest the around town photos, especially if you're from out of town. We ended up doing the Family Affair package which provided us with a videographer and DJ as well. It was one of the main reasons we went with Senses at Play, because for one deposit we were able to secure a photographer, videographer and DJ. And we were really happy with our decision! The photos themselves are excellent! We were blessed with a gorgeous sunset which John was able to capture perfectly. It was important to us that our photographer could take an amazing sunset photo and John absolutely delivered. He captured all of the moments of the day so beautifully! I can not recommend Senses at Play highly enough and highly suggest the Family Affair package for your photography, videography, and DJ needs.

ONE MONTH to plan all the ins and outs of a wedding and the photography was what made me most nervous. Pictures are precious moments captured for all of time. Olesya was ever the professional during the planning process with her quick responses. On the day of, she met me as soon as I walked in the door. Her light and loving attitude helped me relax and let me enjoy our special wedding day. She was a "ninja" during the ceremony taking photos of the moments I will keep forever. Laughing during the ceremony, tears of joy during our vows to each other, placing the rings on each others fingers, our guests...She is pure magic. After the ceremony there were gracious resort guests who invited Oleysa to their 2nd floor room that over looked the Sunset Terrace, so she could get a unique angle of our wedding party and all our family. With the sun quickly setting behind us she again worked her magic and the pictures are divine. In one word she is PERFECTION.

A few minutes into my initial meeting with Lona, I knew that she was going to be my photographer. All I wanted from my wedding is for my guests to be happy, and to have amazing pictures.

Lona is so relaxed and doesn't make you feel like you're posing. She is just incredibly talented. The photos are simple and breathtaking from start to finish. Outstanding work. She really made my day that much more special. I now have incredible pictures that will hold better memories than my mind can ever recreate. We would highly recommend her to anybody!
