Take a look: http://www.carlyshortphotography.net/rustic-ohio-wedding Carly also has a great personality and is just awesome to be around. She even pitched in to help with wedding set up at one point! I was also super grateful that my photographer was a cool, younger female with great taste, especially when she was photographing us getting ready. She was able to capture some great moments that an older, stodgier man wouldn't have. :) Especially if you're creative and a bit unconventional, Carly is definitely, definitely your best bet. By the end of the day, I felt like I'd known her for years. I loved everything about working with Carly. I really cannot recommend her highly enough!

Most importantly, the photos were stunningly beautiful. We couldn't be more pleased with how they turned out. We had them within a few days and had double the shots we expected because Carly brought a second, equally talented and unobtrusive photog with her. She will have our business for as long as she wants it. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

There's a reason why her sessions are referral only. Even though she considers herself a hobbyist /…read morefreelance photographer, whispers of her flawless talent for angles, lighting, and moment capture is beginning to spread throughout our city; in volumes from one potential client to the next. I first heard about her at a church I attend with my wife last week. A fellow parishioner spoke of her holiday photo session with her sons and talked my wife into scheduling our holiday photos with Angie. After researching her website, I was skeptical because her prices and packages were incredibly generous, i.e. "too good to not have some sort of catch". But I love my wife and of course supported her curiosity about this Angie person. I was suprised when she called her and was told she had to schedule us three months out at the very soonest. I was even more shocked when my wife booked it regardless. Angie is incredibly thoughtful. She took the time to squeeze in a shoot yesterday; and I had an absolute blast in her studio. This is a guy saying that! Angie really put my wife and I in a realm of class and glamour with every click of her Nikon. She also handled our "slightly" rambunctious children with such finess and grace. I won't further spoil the experience you will have with Angie, but If you ever need your memories captured in a memorable way, I highly advise you to visit her site and seek her out. Trust me, you'll know someone who knows about Angelique Patrick Photography.

She did a fantastic job of staging and angling all of the photos. None of the photos look like they were "just taken in our house."

We had a great experience with her and would definitely use Layne Photography again!

Planning your wedding is never easy. My wedding on Labor Day weekend 2018 was a three-day…read moremulticultural event and we were fortunate to have Samantha every step of the way. I had initially hired Samantha to perform a design session for 1 of the days of the wedding. Soon, I realized I needed her full planning package. Samantha easily and quickly switched the packages and services. She sends a wedding task list which is catered to white Christian weddings (it has items like tanning services) but I just ignored those, and focused on the relevant items. We had a clause to add on any additional hours needed. Which I took full advantage of! I added services for Samantha to track and handle the wedding budget, which fell to the wayside. Nor did she really take on managing. When it became clear we would need additional hours for the weekend due to the magnitude of the events, Samantha was mindful of our costs without sacrificing value. She is well versed on the wedding etiquette and despite never having planned an Indian wedding before, she pulled it off with minimal hitches. I am sure has she gains more experience in various weddings and cultures, she will grow and be even better than she is. When my cousin offered to help coordinate the events, she gladly accepted the needed help. Samantha went out of her way to help me at the end of her reception night, when I fell sick. She is vast in her connections with local vendors and on how to get a bang for your budget. Her creativity on how to reuse decorations and flowers saved so much stress and costs. My biggest concern on the wedding weekend was the DJ. I wish I had explicitly expressed to Samantha to feel empowered to take control on handling him, and had been on a conference call with her and him to ensure things ran smoothly. But throughout the wedding, Samantha was cool and calm and took charge on the situation. Her business is growing and is well deserved. There are times when she was not able to answer emails right away because she was out of town for another wedding, workshop or vacation. As the wedding approached, vendors would ask for a timeline and conference call to go over the details. We were able to coordinate those requests with Samantha - she does get back to her clients and vendors, even if it means a conference call at 8:30 PM or on her way to the airport. I wish I booked her full services at the get-go. However her full package does not always equate to hours needed. Hence our purchasing additional hours, after purchasing the full service package. At the end of the day, Samantha wants her couples to be happy and she tries her best. And is focused on that, despite the noise from family input. I regret on not utilizing her skill and creatively fully. In my need to not want to bother her, or stress her out on chaos of an Indian wedding, I didn't involve her in designing the cake or cake-topper, and wish I had. And not worried about putting her off. She is capable if not short staffed. Definitely book her for your wedding.

I cannot recommend Sam and SJE highly enough! As a bride living in San Francisco and planning a…read morewedding in Yellow Springs, Ohio (at my parent's house), the seamless dot connecting that Sam facilitated for us was honestly above and beyond. She did an amazing job calling on all of her experience to fill in gaps where I was looking for advice or direction (sometimes gaps I didn't even realize at the time she was filling), all while empowering me to spend time and energy on the pieces or details that I cared most about. Many things she almost does in her sleep, not even realizing the slack she is picking up - coordinating who would set the tables, compiling all of my contracts, holding a planning session with our officiant, and keeping me on schedule with things like finalizing timelines and getting my seating chart done. I can be picky (I like what I like!) and Sam picked up on my aesthetic almost immediately and represented my interests to my partners and vendors effectively in meetings and discussions that I was not able to participate in being so far away. In addition to her incredible attention to detail (did I mention she did all of our calligraphy and styled the details photo shoot on the day of?! ), she is truly passionate about what she does and that comes through over, and over again. She is not fatigued by doing weddings and events nonstop, but rather she is energized by them and always looking to do things differently and innovate. Wedding weekend would not have been the perfect experience that it was without SJE and her incredible staff. On our wedding day, I spent time with friends and family, drank champagne, and focused on the special moments and she made that happen. Sam also ran the rehearsal like an absolute pro - showing up with [beautiful] weekend itineraries for the whole wedding party - without me asking for those! I cannot recommend SJE highly enough.
