I got married last summer...Out of about 5 DJ services I chose Bobby at Sensational Sounds. He…read moreseemed professional and to have upto date equipment. However, the service I received on the day of my wedding was not at all what I expected. The DJ's did not show up until 5:55 and the wedding was suppose to start at 6pm. I had confirmed with him a few days prior for the third time that the ceremony location was changed by the hotel, however this was obvisouly not conveyed to his staff because they were set up in the completely wrong spot. They were setting up their equipment while all my guests were being seated, not to mention no music was playing. Then we had to que them to play certain songs during the ceremony. At the wedding, the began playing our first dance song as our intro song and when we were being introduced, the DJ introduced us with the WRONG name. Mr. and Mrs..... very embarrassing. The DJ's made up for some of our frustration throughout the evening by playing some of the right music. My wedding was blast and the best night of my life. The most frustrating part was dealing with the owner after my wedding. He never contacted me to apologize for my concerns, and when I reached out to him, he was very defensive and almost rude, turning everything around on me. I requested that he refund $400 for my wedding, since it started late because of his staff and all the other mistakes, but he refused and would only refund the money we tipped the DJ's and another $100. I was very disappointed in his service and I would not recommend someone else taking the chance.

Also the book he gave us to help prepare for the reception helped us narrow down songs. The reason I am giving 4 stars is because he seemed to be a little off that night. He didn't have complete songs that we requested. Some songs cutting off in the middle while people were dancing. We would recommend Chris as a DJ.

SPOILER ALERT: This is a GLOWING review because we absolutely LOVE Chris, and you will too! If you…read morehave a different photographer, just know you are in good hands because Chris will have picked the person and knows who is great from the pack. Let's start with why Chris is THE BEST! Chris has wonderful "photo-side" manner. He has a loving, soft demeanor and soothing voice that puts everyone at ease during what otherwise might be stressful - to get your photo taken. But this allows your face and body to relax so your photos come out so nice with your body language. Chris did our wedding photos and engagement portraits for our Destination Wedding. The engagement photos were super high quality and did not pixelate when we blew them up to 7 feet tall for our signage. And I really loved the backdrop he had that was very colorful and actually had our wedding colors in it! The Family Studio in Colorado Springs is intimate - in the lower half of his home - but still SUPER professional with a walk-in administration desk and staff and even a parking lot! We opted to have him and his drone videographer Elizabeth do our wedding with aerial video and photography so we could get the BEST memorabilia for our week. It was incredible! Whether you are having a local wedding or need him to travel, make it happen! The energy they brought every day was unprecedented... they outdid our guests with early morning rising and go-go energy all day and so helpful each step of the way. Honestly, we could not have done our trip without the support of the two of them. All of our guests LOVED Chris and Elizabeth. Every single person talked about how much they loved our photographer and videograpger, so that is 100 five-star reviews. And I was blown away by our follow-up photo experience. We got to sit on cozy couches with coffee, teas, and waters and go through the photos on a blow-up screen as big as a movie theatre. We could easily pick out the best shots and enjoy the show! This part of the process is hours long, and his set up made it so comfortable, relaxing, and we'd do it ALL over again! Chris said he's been doing weddings for 40 YEARS and has done over 1000 weddings, which adds up to over 20 per year... that's like every single weekend in the summer months when the weddings happen every single year. It's unbelievable how much energy he has - Weddings require a TON of energy. Anyway, what came with that experience is that he knows ALL the classic shots you want and need so you don't have to think on your shotlist. He also will help you get creative to bring your personality and wedding style into the photos. I just loved every minute of it. Our photos are fun, exotic, classic, and candid, and we had a great time the whole ride through!

I highly recommend Brent from Mountain View Real Estate Photography.

I took a class with Simon based on a Deal Of The Day coupon (50% off) for a 6-hour Landscape…read morePhotography session. Well, it turned out to be almost a 9 hour class (but no one was complaining). Simon and I spoke on the phone a few times the weeks leading up to this past Saturday to iron out the details of the class. He said he liked to keep the group small, and also mentioned it was okay we didn't have a DSLR camera (we had an advanced Point & Shoot). Though early mornings and late afternoons are the best times to photograph most subjects, he was more concerned about the thought processes and techniques applied in landscape photography; therefore, he said the earliest we'd meet would be 8AM. He let us know what to wear and bring (like lunch). Four students met at Garden Of the Gods on Saturday morning, and Simon was already there with handouts. The initial discussion began with must-have items that he usually packs on his forays (which was more than just camera gear), how to use them, and how to assess and feel the environment of the subject before you even take the camera out of the bag, etc. In fact, most of the class was focused on looking at familiar objects and landmarks in different ways and taking the time to understand the subject. There was no clicking away in this class. In fact, we students each took maybe about 15-20 shots throughout the session. I think I spent most of my time just thinking through what he said and framing my subjects as best I could. I was able to borrow one of his extra DSLR's for an extra fee, but it gave me an opportunity to utilize the technology. In the afternoon, we moved onto N Cheyenne Canon to try our hand at shooting streams and waterfalls. Afterwards, he invited us to his studio where we all gave each other a critiquing session, which I found very helpful. He made sure to point out all the good elements of our photographs along with the bad elements, and allowed each of us to provide feedback to our peers. He also showed us some tweaks we could make using certain photoshop programs. Simon was a very effective communicator and instructor. He asked probing questions as to why we chose a particular subject, how we decided on the angles and positions with which to shoot from, and gave us tips throughout the entire process. I think what I like about him was he used this class as a time to spread his passion to other people. Like any true master of a craft, he wanted to pass on his learned skills and expressed appreciation whenever a student's end product echoed his teachings. It was also obvious he used this time to meet people in the community; as a sole business owner whose art would often lead him into isolated environments for long periods of time, he was eager to talk to people - therefore, there was talk of him starting a 4-week long class along with a once-a-month critiquing session. If you feel you have plateaued on your landscape photography skills, give Simon a call. Admire Photography will help you push past that block and rediscover your passion!
