Just returned from a destination wedding in Mexico and had Shannon of fotonovella as our…read morephotographer. Wow, she not only was our photographer, she was our cheerleader, a helpful bridesmaid, and the only reason my husband and I had alone time during our wedding festivities. We truly appreciated how hard she worked to scope out the best light and areas for photos before our wedding. She was flexible too and got the shots I wanted. When, I unexpectedly got sick on my wedding day, she reworked it so I didn't have to walk as far. The best part was the additional shoot after the wedding (when I had recovered). She was so motivating, with insane enthusiasm, which made us feel like a beautiful, in love couple. She went as far to lay down in the street or on the beach where a dog was licking her during the shoot. Her great service started before the wedding with an inpatient consult. Prior to the wedding she sent us a date night package to remember to enjoy each other.

The hospital that I gave birth at in 2010 used a service that I was not fond of. I've seen good…read moreones from other hospitals, it's just that my hospital didn't give me great results. The photographer was a sweet young girl but I didn't get the feeling that she knew what she was doing. first: her camera had this huge flash that kept startling my newborn second: she kept trying to stick a bow on my baby's head with lotion so the photos came out very unnatural third: the images were really washed out. Actually, It's sad to say but the photos that my sis-in-law took with her point and shoot came out better. So, in 2011, when I had baby number 3, I saved myself and the photography company the time and kindly told them that I hire a photographer (I should probably tell them about how I feel I know but I didn't have the heart since their employees seem so nice.). Mary is awesome. we did the shoot at my house, in the baby's nursery, while rocking in the chair by the window (so there were no startling flashes), and then took some shots on the changing table after changing her diaper (while I held the baby of course!). Everything came out like it was done in a studio! Look at how they came out all at the convenience of my own home: http://video214.com/play/90gGHYu6RoTQH3ggIxv1gw/s/dark

I hired Marymargaret Photography for an 80th Birthday Celebration for my grandma. Obviously a very…read morespecial event to our family. The photographer was very professional and very organized. Prior to the night of the event Mary gathered important information from me to insure that pictures she took would be appreciated by the family. Which she taught me is very important information to give a photographer especially at an event with 200+ guests. She was easy to keep in contact with in case there were any changes on the night of the party or any added information I wanted to let her know for the sake of the pictures. It was a night full of family, and performances and Mary was able to capture beautiful and memorable moments throughout the night. I, as well as the family, are very satisfied with the gallery that Mary later presented to us and may I add in a timely manner. We enjoyed looking through the gallery and reliving the party through the photos and purchasing any additional copies through her website www.marymargaretphotography.com was simple and straight to the point. I highly recommend Marymargaret Photography and will certainly consider hiring her again for our next special event. She was well worth it and a pleasant photographer to work with.

Our room was clean and I really enjoyed the brightly lit decor. The shower drain accusing drained well, so that's a plus. As with another Choice affiliated hotel, there was complementary hot tea and cocoa 24/7 and a complementary self-serve breakfast bar in the morning. Per usual, the breakfast bar included bacon, sausage, eggs, bagels, muffins, cereal, yogurt, oatmeal, juices, coffee and other snacks. The only downfall was there weren't any food options besides Subway, which was right next door to the hotel.
