“I had the absolute pleasure of working with her on a beautiful elopement, and she was incredible to collaborate with. Despite the cold, she showed up with such warmth, flexibility, and kindness, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

Her ability to capture the true essence and emotion of the couple was nothing short of magical. Every moment she documented felt authentic and full of feeling. I’m so grateful to have worked alongside someone so talented and dedicated, and I truly look forward to collaborating again in the future.“

“Dennis’ work is simply amazing! Hands down a great photographer who truly takes pride in his work. I've hired him a couple times a month for the last 2 years to document private healthcare office build-outs and recommend him to any business owner, architect, or builder wanting to their work to stand out. As much as I hesitate to share a good secret, this one is too good to keep to myself. Hire Dennis Jourdan Photo & Video. You'll be so glad you did.“

“Essence was truly phenomenal for our September wedding! Joe was our photographer and Adrien was our videographer, and both did an incredible job. We absolutely love all of our photos and are obsessed with our wedding video. They captured the day so beautifully and gave us moments we’ll cherish forever.

We also used their formalwear company and highly, highly recommend them! I especially cannot say enough great things about Gerry. We had finalized the groomsmen shoes, belts, and tie colors well in advance. When my husband went with his dad and brothers to pick up their tuxes, I was on FaceTime to see everything and I immediately felt overwhelmed because it looked completely different than what we had originally chosen.

Gerry went above and beyond to make it right. He worked so hard to accommodate my wants, switching every pair of shoes from brown to black, changing the tie colors entirely, and even giving us belt options plus suspenders so we could try everything together. He was patient, kind, and genuinely cared about making sure we were happy. After everything he did, I felt 10,000 times better, and the tuxes turned out amazing. I’m so grateful for his dedication and attention to detail!“

“We had an incredible experience with Ashley Ham Photography and cannot recommend her enough. Ashley was prompt, professional, and extremely communicative from start to finish. She arrived on time and immediately made the entire process feel smooth and stress‑free.

What truly set Ashley apart was how she supported me during the event — she gently helped manage the flow, reminded me to relax, and made sure I was enjoying the moment instead of feeling overwhelmed as the host. That meant more than I can express.

She captured so many beautiful memories, and the photos were absolutely top‑notch — natural, emotional, and perfectly timed. She was also incredibly graceful and accommodating with editing requests, taking the time to re‑edit a few photos exactly as I asked.

Ashley is talented, calm, kind, and a true professional. We are beyond grateful for her work and will cherish these photos forever.“

“Something Blue was absolutely wonderful - I truly couldn't have asked for a better team to work with on my daughter's wedding day! They made everything feel so easy and fun, and we were able to get everything done with time to spare. Every single person was pleasant, professional, and a joy to work with! I only wish there were more people like them in the world! A special thank you to Liz, Christy, Conrad, and Marcella - you all made the day even more special! I would 100% hire them again in a heartbeat and would love to relive the experience with the same amazing team! Thank you for everything.“

“Headshots from David were awesome. Very clean. Very professional. Very organized and will definitely go back there for whatever i can.

Thank you!“

“Married on 10/3/25 and our experience was amazing. Truly amazing. From working with the staff prior to our wedding up to our actual wedding day. Of course, Maks, our photographer was honestly the best part of the day. He was INCREDIBLE! The amount of compliments we received from our bridal party, family and friends was like no other. If Maks is available, TRUST ME, request him!!! Although I know many other photographers are exceptional, our experience was top notch and our photos are everything we hoped for.“

“While planning our wedding, one piece of advice we kept hearing from family and friends who were already married was that if they could go back in time, they would invest in a better wedding photographer/videographer. That advice really stayed with us, and we’re so glad we followed it from the beginning because choosing this team was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

From the very start, they were amazing to work with. They were attentive, professional, and listened to all of our requests. On the wedding day, we had several unexpected changes, including street closures and last-minute location adjustments. Despite all of that, they handled everything with such calm and professionalism. They even suggested beautiful alternative locations for our photos and worked seamlessly around our schedule to make sure we still captured everything we wanted.

Their ability to adapt while keeping everything organized and smooth made a huge difference on such a busy day. They captured every important moment and so many meaningful details that we will cherish forever.

When we received our photos and videos, we were beyond happy with the results. Every picture and video brings us right back to that day, and we find ourselves smiling every time we look through them.

We are truly grateful for their incredible work. They are extremely talented, professional, and passionate about what they do. If you are looking for someone to capture your wedding or any important event, I highly recommend them. You will not regret hiring them.“

“Jake has an eye for detail and great with families! He was quick to edit and we have plenty of wonderful photos!! Fairly priced too!“

“We highly recommend this photographer following an exceptional 6-month milestone photoshoot for our son, Ivaan. The photographer demonstrated tremendous patience and technical expertise, creating a calm environment that kept him engaged without fatigue. The final digital assets were delivered promptly, featuring pristine lighting, composition, and post-production editing. We were extremely satisfied with the efficient execution and professional quality of the gallery, making this studio an outstanding choice for infant photography.“

“I could not recommend Julie more! We did a pet photo session and she was amazing with our pup and got the most beautiful photos. Thank you so much Julie!“

“Hands down best photographer out there!!! Ever since I found Agata on Google for a maternity shoot, I knew I was going to be a returning customer! I came back again a few months later for my newborn’s photoshoot. Once again amazing experience! I know for sure I’m going to be a lifetime customer for Agata for as long as she will be in business! I cannot express how beautiful the photos come out every time we do a photoshoot with her! She is beyond talented, down to earth, and super patient especially with pets and newborns! I would highly recommend Agata to all moms-to-be, families, and newborns to have their photoshoot with her and only her! Super grateful that I found my forever photographer!“

“Kenny Kim was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. He is incredibly kind, easy to be around, and genuinely takes the time to get to know every guest. He learned our guests’ names, remembered who was related to who, and made people feel comfortable in front of the camera without ever forcing anything. The photos are beautiful. He captured a perfect mix of clean, timeless portraits and candid moments that actually feel like us. We received hundreds of highlight images within 48 hours, and the full gallery of over 2,000 photos just 12 days later, which was amazing. We’re so grateful for the way Kenny documented our day, and we’ll treasure these photos for a long time. I’d recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is talented, professional, and genuinely good to work with. And his prices are extremely reasonable for his experience and caliber/level of skill.“

“I recently did my maternity photoshoot with Alina. Thank you Alina for such a incredible experience!!! I was quite nervous but the comfort and the atmosphere that she gave made me enjoy every captured moment ? I was very much impressed with the final edited pictures, beyond what I had imagined. I strongly recommend Alina to those who want pictures of themselves that really reflect their best side??“

“Randy was more than we could ever have asked for on our special day. He was easy to work with, kind, visionary, and captured every moment. He truly did not miss a moment and felt like he was family. I could not recommend him more to anyone!“

“Peter was exceptional. The photos were taken quickly and he was able to truly capture our amazing wedding in wonderful detail. We also received access to our digital copies within days to relive the moment in bliss (it goes by fast).“

“Jan was so fun to work with! She was great at getting smiles out of our young kids, and got some really lovely pictures of our whole family!“

“We had In Light Photo Booths back at our school again for another event, and as always they are great! It’s so easy to schedule everything, there are so many options of backdrops to choose from, great options for the types of booths, and Andrei is such a please to work with. The kids had a blast, as usual, with the photo options and props ~ I don’t think there was a minute that went by that both of them weren’t being used. I would 100% recommend him to anyone needing a fun event photo op.“

“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Jennifer on several of our film and video productions, and she’s been an absolute rock star every single time. She’s incredibly professional, reliable, and adaptable, even when things get hectic or plans change on the fly — which they always do on set!

One of the things we appreciate most is how great she is at keeping our talent calm, comfortable, and confident, no matter the situation. That positive, reassuring energy makes a huge difference and helps everything run more smoothly. On top of that, her special effects makeup skills are next level — she’s pulled off some seriously impressive transformations for us.

If you’re looking for someone who’s not just talented but also a true team player, Jennifer is the one you want on your crew. Highly recommended!“

“He was excellent. Our videos and photos are amazing. I strongly recommend to work with him for your celebrations“

“Harry was an awesome photographer to have on our wedding day! He was so sweet to meet us with us a week before the wedding at check out the venue for photo ideas in case the weather was bad. He had so many great ideas for photos! Harry was so considerate he took a couple of pictures on his cell phone and texted them to me after the wedding so I had some right away! Harry was great and I can’t wait to get the rest of my pictures!“

“Jimmy was very patient with me and the kids our engagement photos turned out perfect!!!!“
