He used his pre-wedding time to go back & forth between the Bride's and Groom's Rooms for photos. As the Mother of the Bride, Ken and I had a telephone conversation and he told me exactly what he needed ready to photograph as soon as he arrived on the wedding day. Having those items prepared helped him to stay on schedule and get all the pre-wedding pictures taken so that we started the wedding on time. Ken was very accommodating with special requests from both of the Mothers, because we wanted photos taken of our extended family groups. Ken had a prepared list of the extra photos that we wanted, and he methodically went down the list. The great thing was that we never felt rushed by Ken at any point during the entire day. Ken has a calm and friendly demeanor and it showed!! HIRE HIM... he'll do a great job for your wedding or special event too!

I unhesitatingly recommend Ken Thomas Photography! Ken's professionalism before, during, and after…read moreour May 2022 wedding has been exceptional. His attention to detail has been superb, and his talent is evident in our finished products. I'm thrilled with our photos, and I'm so thankful that I found such an accomplished professional for our special day. Way back in 2019, Ken met with me in person at his studio to discuss our expectations and to give me more information about his work. He impressed me as a delightful and extremely professional gentleman, and I liked him immediately. He also, during one of our visits, devised a detailed timeline for the events of our special day. That timeline proved invaluable in calming me on our wedding day and in keeping the festivities on schedule. All was nicely on track with all our wedding businesses, but due to the pandemic, we rescheduled our 2020 wedding. Ken was more than understanding and accommodating as I tried to come up with alternative dates. He was always a pleasure to speak with and even checked in with me from time to time to make sure we were still on schedule. On the day of the wedding, he arrived at our location in Marion County, South Carolina over an hour before the start time on our timeline, just to scope out the private home where our wedding was being held and to get an idea of photo locations. He was friendly and kind with everyone, both during photo sessions and at other times. He was fast and efficient in taking pictures, and his experience as a photographer showed as he quickly arranged us and our families in various great poses. My groom and I are both 60 years old, and he not only tried to make us feel more comfortable in posing - something that could have tried the patience of other folks - but also treated us just as he would a good-looking couple in their 20's. He made us feel special and was completely patient with his elderly bride and groom and our even-older guests. In addition to the posed photographs, he took great candid shots as well as many lovely photos of our outdoor ceremony. Since we didn't have a videographer, it was especially meaningful to me that I have photos of our vows and our walk down the aisle together. I received so many compliments from guests and family members, even before they saw the finished photos. Those in attendance noted that Ken was always available and busy taking photos throughout the evening and that he was unfailingly friendly. And then when they saw the nearly 500 photos - wow! I'm a technophobe, but Ken very patiently helped me with the online viewing of our pictures. He even emailed us a sneak-peek of around a hundred pictures less than a week after our wedding. The prints of all sizes are beautiful (despite the elderly subject matter!), and the lighting and color are perfect in each photo. When my two sons someday marry their girlfriends, I'd love to have Ken as the photographer. Even after all my wordy review, I can't think of a higher compliment than that!

We met multiple times before the wedding, and she listened carefully to our likes, dislikes, and the overall vibe we wanted for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. On our wedding day, Jill exceeded every expectation. She read the crowd perfectly and created the ideal musical atmosphere from start to finish. Every transition felt seamless, the dance floor stayed full, and the music reflected our personalities while keeping our guests entertained all night long. Beyond being an incredibly talented DJ, Jill was such a joy to work with. She brought amazing energy, helped make the entire day feel fun and stress-free, and genuinely cared about making our wedding unforgettable. As an added bonus, she even captured videos throughout the reception and sent them to us afterward. Those unexpected moments are memories we'll treasure forever. If you're looking for a DJ who is professional, personable, and truly invested in creating the perfect soundtrack for your wedding day, Jill is the one. We are so grateful she was part of our celebration and would recommend her without hesitation!

He's very fun to work with and even carried his huge lighting equipment 3 blocks away, and back, to get different backgrounds for the casual photos. We offered to help him carry it but he would hear of it. He IS a talker, but that's just part of the business. It would be pretty awkward for the photographer to not have conversation. LOL. He was 30min behind while we waited; but he spent 2 hours with us. The digital camera review of the shots looked great! Even the ones he threw me and my hubby into.

She runs a timeline incredibly well and ensures we're all keeping high standards in our execution. She has awesome vendor relationships, allowing us to create unique, creative layouts. I can't recommend her enough to clients who want a high end wedding!

We used Tina for full wedding planning 18 mos prior to my daughter's wedding. She fell short of our…read moreexpectations on several levels. 1. First, the pros: She was pleasant and it was very helpful that she knew the venue and caterer well and worked there often (we had selected both prior to hiring her.) Since we lived out of town, our availability for in person meetings with vendors was challenging. We appreciated that she was able to schedule our tasting with the caterer during their busy season (not typically done.) She also worked regularly with the Entertainment company (suggested by her) and she was a helpful in communicating our concerns days before the wedding. Aesthetically her design suggestions were quite nice. 2. Now the cons: during planning she often took several weeks to respond to emails. I gave her the benefit of the doubt (our event was months away and she is a one-woman operation.) However, her communication was still unacceptably slow in the few months before the wedding - and on the wedding day when numerous calls went unanswered. When problems arose, I had trouble finding her during the cocktail hour/reception. 3. She didn't check invoices from vendors. Had I not reviewed the floor plan and personally counted all of the tables/sizes, I would have overpaid for the linens by nearly 50%. 4. We wanted a carnival-type claw machine (mentioned in our first interview.) Four months before the wedding, she said she was not able to find one. With 15 minutes searching online my daughter easily found a vendor. Apparently, Tina didn't even do a simple Google search. She was able to suggest vendors, but only if she had previously worked with them. Several florists Tina recommended were not a good fit for my daughter's vision. Ultimately my daughter found a florist herself who was perfect. 5.Tina used Aisle Planner to create a seating chart with numbered seat positions for every table, which I carefully completed. Sadly every guest's seat (except the head table) was in the wrong place. We put significant time and effort into creating our seating plan, taking into account family member's proximity to the bride/groom, guests sitting next to friends, elderly guests being farther away from loud music, who had the best view, etc. REALLY frustrating to discover that more than 100 guests were in the wrong place. 6.At least one name on the escort wall (very expensive custom-made item) was misspelled. It's unclear whether Tina provided the vendor with the wrong spelling or they made the mistake. Only Tina had direct contact with the vendor, and she has refused communication after the wedding to clarify. 7. We rented an Audio Guest book (old fashioned phone) to record personal messages from wedding guests. At the end of the cocktail hr I was told it wasn't working and I quickly notified Tina. It was finally working 3 hours into the evening. Follow up communication from the company proved the device was never turned on, despite clear and simple instructions in the box. I'm sure Tina must realized it was not turned on, but she never explained or apologized for the mistake. 8. Tina failed to keep us on the timeline she helped create. Some of that was due to family speeches/toasts going longer than planned and we took full responsibility for that. She failed on numerous other elements of the timeline: ceremony started 10 min late even though the wedding party was staged & waiting for 45 min beforehand, after the ceremony the bride and groom were kept back by the photographer/videographer much longer than scheduled, and guests were ushered from cocktails to reception 25 min late despite bars being closed at the end of the cocktail hour. 9. She NEVER ONCE asked about bouquet preservation during our 18+ mos of planning. My daughter intended to preserve her bouquet and booked a vendor 6 mos in advance, unfortunately we forgot to mention it to Tina. After the wedding Tina left the bouquet inside a plastic bin that she knew we weren't permitted to pick up until 2 days after the wedding. Had she even thought to ask me at the conclusion of the reception I would have taken the bouquet with me. As our FULL wedding planner, this is a huge failure! Our event was 130 guests, six figures and at the upper end of the price range she typically handles for full wedding planning (per info she provided in our initial interview.) The evening had numerous surprises and unconventional elements, which Tina was aware of weeks to months in advance. It's my opinion that she was over her head coordinating the many details, was understaffed on the wedding day and was unable to handle everything. In our initial interview she said she brings 1-2 assistants on the wedding day. No idea whether she brought help since she never introduced me to anyone else. If your event is pretty standard, doesn't have complicated details, and you're okay with limited and/or slow communication, Tina's probably fine, but check all invoices and quantities carefully!!
