I have waited months to write this review as I was hopeful that Nick would follow through and…read moreresolve things. Unfortunately, that has not happened so I think it's important I share my experience with others who are looking for a photographer for their special occasions/events. We hired Nick to photograph our family for a special trip we took to Lake Tahoe to celebrate my mom's 70th birthday. Nick was responsive when I reached out about the shoot and was very pleasant the day of the shoot. The issue began when we received the photos. One of the most important photos from the whole shoot was my mom with her grandkids, and there are port-a-potties visible in the background of all of those photos. I saw them during the shoot and pointed them out, but Nick assured me they were not in the photos. I emailed him to let him know we were not happy with those photos (I was actually very surprised he would even send them to me like that to begin with), and I asked if there was any way the port-a-potties could be edited out. He was unresponsive. It took four emails over the course of eight weeks before he responded. He was very kind in that email and apologized for the delayed response. He assured me that he would "work to make sure everything is right." That was at the end of September. After two more months and three additional follow-up emails, it seems that he will not be making good on his promise to make things right. At the very least, I would have appreciated him letting me know when I first emailed about the issue that he could not or would not correct it. That would have given me the opportunity to find someone else to help us instead of waiting four months with nothing to show for it. Another thing to keep in mind if you have young kids: He was very kind and patient with our rowdy group of kids, but he didn't have bubbles or anything along those lines to help get the little ones' attention. I've since done photos with another photographer who did that, and we ended up with a better end result.

Working with Nick was an absolute pleasure. He was with us from the start of our wedding year…read morethrough our engagement and wedding photos. Our first meeting with Nick happened to be at a bar so I knew I liked the guy from the start since he knows how to pick locations to meet that will make his customers feel comfortable. Not only was he extremely professional and organized, his prices were far better than many of his competitors. The engagement photos Nick took of my wife, Morgan, and I came out fantastic. Since I had proposed in Virginia City, we decided to take photos there. Nick, being local, knew the locations well, did some extra scouting and was more than prepared for the photo shoot. Not only were the photos excellent, but the day felt more as if we were hanging out with friends taking random photos rather than having someone staging us to take professional photos. Everything felt so natural and enjoyable thanks to Nick and his skills as a photographer. The wedding photos were equally as fun. Nick and his second shooter took thousands of photos at the wedding! Bits and pieces of the whole day were captured and every time my wife has a chance to show them off, she has been more than happy to do so as they are beautiful and a great memory of the first day of our new lives together. Nick is a crafty veteran in photo taking as he instantly went home after the wedding and backed up everything in multiple spots in order to not lose a single image. He had a plan of attack and executed it perfectly. Not only that, as we had our ceremony at a church and there are special rules for how little movement the priest wanted, he made sure to verify exactly where he could be during the ceremony to get photos and not disturb the ceremony. He truly did a wonderful job and we couldn't be more pleased for selecting him to document our beautiful and joyous wedding.

It was $4k and I couldn't fathom giving her my business after how terrible her communication was.

I'm hoping they'll start using the new guy as their contracted vendor now.

I may have seen one or two live shows, pre-pandemic, but since the Pandemic, I've mostly purchased livestream tickets. I love watching the shows in the comfort of my living room. I know the artists prefer live guests in the audience, but for me, not living in Reno, the convenience of being able to buy a livestream ticket is awesome. And I feel less guilty, since this afternoon's live show was almost sold out. So the livestream tickets sales are icing on the cake. And they provide the opportunity, for people living in rural Nevada, to see these amazing performances without having to travel. I wish the livestream ticket option would spread. But for now, I'm happy to support and watch the Reno Phil.

Jessica is very organized, detailed oriented and knowledgeable about everything wedding that she made the whole wedding planning thing seem easy! My fiance and I were so impressed after the initial consultation and knew we had to have her as our planner. Right after we booked OUATE, my fiance and I had a meeting with Jessica and basically told her everything we wanted, what we didn't want and what we dreamed of having but didn't think we could afford. She also had us fill out a questionnaire to get a sense of our style, get to know us and get an idea of what we envision for our dream wedding. After reviewing everything we gave her, she created a design board with everthing we had talked about. I loved how we got to go thourgh and point out what we liked and what we didn't like. This gave us a great sense of what our wedding was going to look like. Since I had a very hard time picking a theme and staying with that direction, this really helped me get on track and focus on one thing at a time. This also really helped me stop stressing and feeling overwhelmed and let me enjoy the wedding planning process. As a bride, I knew I wanted to be involved in the fun stuff but not the boring, budget related stuff. Jessica was amazing at handling all the stuff I didn't want to do or did not know how to do. We gave her our total budget and she planned around that very well and helped us stay on track. She also did all of the orders (which were a ton since we had our wedding at private estate and had to bring everything in) and delt with the most of our vendors. She has a great working relationship with a ton of wedding vendors in Reno that she was able to get things done and get them done fast! And she had wonderful recommendations for our wedding vendors. We loved them all! During the whole wedding planning process Jessica and her sister, Cassie kept us on track and made sure we were getting things done when they needed to be done. I loved how they took all of my ideas and wishes and made them happen without any questions. The whole time, they were professional but so nice and fun to work with! It made wedding planning a lot of fun! The day of the wedding, I had absolutley nothing to worry about. I sat in the house and got ready while Jessica, Cassie and her team set everything up and dealt with all the vendors. The wedding was not too big but the whole production of it was a lot! We had a ton of flowers, a fire pit, a dessert bar, photo booth, a lounge and a ton of details such a signage and personalized items. Jesssica and her team were so organized and executed everything PERFECTLY! It was above and beyond anything I had even imagined. They took my vision to the next level and made it better than I could had ever wished for. Jessica and Cassie kept the wedding on track the whole night and everything went off witthout a hitch. My husband and I nor our wedding party or family had to lift a finger, it was amazing! We got to spend our time enjoying ourselves while OUATE delt with everything else. Jessica, Cassie and the entire OUATE team are amazing!! They made planning our wedding an absolute joy and I would HIGHLY recommend them for wedding and party planning.

They are genuine, professional and creative. I contacted them to assist with making an anniversary video for the 10th anniversary of our local NACE chapter. That's National Association for Catering and Events for anyone who doesn't know. So needless to say I work with a lot of event professionals around the community and in the region. The team was flexible and highly detail oriented. We presented the video in November and our chapter was thrilled with the result. I am a firm believer in "You get what you pay for" so I have no problem recommending true professionals based up skill and dedication, not solely on price. They might not be the "cheapest" but is cheap or bargain really what you want associated with your event? Craft can provide a variety of services for a variety of event types.
