From the beginning to end she was easy to work with and gave me no doubt in my mind that I hired the correct person for the job. She greeted us with a big smile and introduced her self, very professional, kind, nice, and patient (as we were dealing with teenagers). She is bilingual and made my father feel comfortable. She is creative with different poses and made sure she got the correct angles and lighting as we were hitting sunset. We were on a very busy location on a Saturday evening and yet she made sure she captured little to none additional individuals in the shot. She provided a good amount of images and in addition had the option to enhance images. All images were clear and on spot, we had a difficult time select photos to enhance due to the great quality of work originally provided. Captured every moment and made my experience so much better and fun. Not to mention the photo's were available the next day and the editing took less than a day as promised. In less than 24hr we had our final product. I strongly recommend her and if I could rate her work higher than 5 stars, I would do it in a heart beat. I am definitely keeping her in mind for future memorable events.

We had an indoor/outdoor, Hindu/Mexican, daylight/nighttime ceremony with a variety of lighting conditions, a LOT of color, and a variety of skin tones. That is TOUGH for a lot of photographers. We were pretty concerned about that and from what we were seeing online from other photographers. A lot of dull photos. Tons overexposed. We scoped out a bunch of potential people before finding Nicole. We knew she was the right fit instantly. She totally got what we were trying to go for and knew how to plus up every rough idea we had. And we couldn't be more grateful she was available! She nailed every shot. She created a full vibrant gallery that really captured the whole day. She's got a great creative mind, honed-in technical skills, and a perfect professional and friendly personality that allows you to instantly trust her and let her handle her business. I can't recommend her enough!! Don't hesitate in the slightest, she's the best on your big day.

Ok, picking up where I left off (a couple months ago!). One review that deserves all it's merit and…read moremore... our wedding videographer Nicole Nordstrom. Absolutely hands down, THE BEST! There are wedding videos, and the people that make them.....and then there are individuals like Nicole. She doesn't just make a wedding video, she makes art. She captures not just the event or the people but the love, the emotion, the joy, and the subtleties that slip by a bride and groom as the day unfolds. She captures all of that and makes a work of art to be relived for the rest of your life. Of all the wonderful things that we received and enjoyed during and after our wedding, what we continue to enjoy is the emotion, the joy, and the feeling that Nicole beautifully put together in this video.... The detail, the editing, the time, the music.....It was all literally perfect. If there was a rating for the level of infinity, that's the rating we would give her. We will forever treasure what she did to make a beautiful day that much more beautiful, and something we can reflect back on and enjoy together....for infinity.

Review #600! I…read morecouldn't end the year without this review! A handful of friends have used this photographer for their family photos and weddings; and I always loved the photos she produced. I tried to have a friend take my family's photos but our schedules never aligned. It was December and I procrastinated to get family photos for our Christmas cards. My friend just had a mini session with MarieSam and she told me the photographer still had sessions available. MarieSam replied to my email pretty quick and gave me all the details. Our initial contact was on 12/5 and we set up a photo shoot for 12/9. When the day came the electricity in our townhouse complex went out. A few hours before our scheduled shoot, my hair was soaked and I was freaking out. I called MarieSam and she was very understanding and we were able to reschedule for the 15th at Kenneth Hanh State Park. Before our shoot I told MarieSam that we were thinking of bringing our dog with us but didn't have anyone to wrangle him. MarieSam mentioned that she will have her daughter with her that can wrangle him for us! Her daughter helps with her shoots and it was nice of her to offer that. On the day of the shoot our 16 month old son did not want to cooperate at all. All he wanted to do was explore the park. Holding him was a bit of a challenge but MarieSam was so sweet and patient with us. I stared to worry we wouldn't get any good shots but she assured me she did. After our shoot she mentioned it will take five days to get the proofs. To my surprise she had them done in two days! I stayed up two hours passed my bedtime just admiring all the photos. I think it took about a day to narrow down the 20 images we wanted for our package and we got our photos four days after our shoot! I loved working with MarieSam, I really wished she was our photographer for our wedding. Her work is really great and she is very professional. We would love her to capture our family photos in the future!

We have had the pleasure to witness the vibe and feel of MarieSam and Tommy from a few weddings that me and my wife were in. To us, we needed to have that connection or have that feeling that they knew us and what we wanted. After the initial meeting with them, we knew that they were going to be our photographers for our special day. MarieSam is very professional and very attentive to her craft. She goes the extra mile with every detail. Leading up to the months and days till the big day she would send us little reminders and check ups. Honestly, it kind of felt that she was our wedding planner! She is very accessible if you have any questions or concerns through phone calls and especially emails. On the day of MarieSam and Tommy put us at ease. They worked and work very well with our other vendors especially with our videographer. We were very pleased and very happy with the work that they did. And the pictures speak for themselves. We highly recommend MarieSam and Tommy for any occasion! LOOK NO FURTHER! Lol

I waited to write this review until after receiving our wedding photos because I wanted to be able to share exactly what it felt like to look at the moments from one of the best days of my life seen through the eyes of Kimberly. I got them yesterday, and I have looked at all 650+ photos oh, probably a hundred times. I knew in my heart that our day had been perfect, but what I realized as I poured over the photos is that we absolutely, beyond a measure of doubt, had our DREAM wedding. In every way. Kimberly beautifully and perfectly captured moments, glances, love, excitement, vulnerable and tender moments and pure expressions of utter JOY in every.single.picture. I knew it was a great day, but with it being such a busy one, there was no way I was going to remember every laugh, every smile, every special moment. Now I can for the rest of my life. We had a simple, casual wedding and she so expertly photographed it that even as a DIY by two not-so-very crafty people looked like something out of a perfect, dreamy seaside magazine wedding shoot. DAMN she's good! All of her talent, expertise and gift of photography aside, she is just incredible to work with. Her eye for scouting a great spot for group photos, quickly organizing large groups of people and helping to pose us in perfect harmony is unbelievable. She can make anyone laugh, smile and enjoy every minute of it, even people who don't enjoy being in photos! She is warm, funny and a pure pleasure to work with! You can tell that she was born to do this, that she genuinely enjoys helping capture memorable moments and making the day even more special. She helped us find a wedding coordinator, too! This girl knows the industry talent and happily helped us with any questions we had! She showed up early and stayed late. Weeks leading up to the wedding were full of planning and organizing every shot so that we made sure we got any pictures that we wanted. Our engagement shoot to warm us up to the camera was a breeze, too, and SO MUCH FUN! My husband (still love saying that) and I are not super comfortable with being the center of photographic attention, and she eased us into it and made us feel so natural and comfortable...and it totally shows in the photos. I LOVE YOU, Kimberly! Thank you for being the most perfect beyond perfect photographer, a beautiful soul, a joy and a pleasure to work with. And for giving us so many beautiful photos that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.

They were totally on board with our elopement/ marriage in the middle of the forest. Since we only had 2 videographers and 2 photographers at our wedding it was extremely important for me to find a photographer that would capture our wedding day exactly as it was, since that would be the only thing I would have to show our family's. They knew exactly what they were doing and what would make for a great photo. One of my favorite things that they did was taking a look on my Pinterest to find out what I liked about other wedding photography and made sure to incorporate that similar look or pose into my photos but still keeping their own take on it. They definitely listened to what we wanted and I couldn't be a happier bride!!!

Well, I have not been disappointed! May very well be the best portait session I've ever had, and I've had my share. In less than an hour and a half, we did four changes of clothes, three different locations, and I'm going to be in the wonderful position of agonizing over more great shots than I could ever need. Jackie is fun, humble, on task, quick and efficient with spot on instincts coupled with a great depth of photographic and art history knowledge. Run, don't walk to use her for your headshots OR for your event! Top of the line!!!!

I was emailing with Kelly in the beginning of May 2021 asking for the photos. Delay in requesting for the photos was due to covid as we were supposed to get our photos either December 2019 or January 2020 then covid shut down occurred. She responded twice asking for more info, like what team and number was my son wearing. She even provided me with the correct team photo so I can describe to her which is my son from the team photo. After providing all the info, she has not responded. It's been over 2 months since our last email exchange and I've sent a couple follow up emails to her without a response. All I want is my photos of my son that we paid for or a refund of the package we paid for.

Family photos can often be a stressful time. But with Kelly she's so laid back and made it super easy and actually fun. Her editing work reflects her experience & magic behind the camera also. I will be recommending her to family & friends for sure.
