Connie and Jeff were one of the first vendors we hired about a year and a half out from our wedding. We met them at their office, and saw previous wedding photos and albums they had created. We really liked the idea of having two photographers and liked their easy going, easy to work with personalities.

Our first experience with them was our engagement shoot. They were really friendly and easy to work with, and even asked us if there was any shots that we would like to have besides their own. It was nice that they had shots in mind, so we didn’t just stand there. A couple weeks later we received all our digital negatives as promised. We loved 90% of the photos. A few photos had angles that weren’t overly flattering, and they choose which photos that they edit (my only complaint about this). Overall, we were really impressed with all our engagement photos and have 8 currently framed and displayed in our house. The quality of these images is top notch in my opinion...

Our second experience with Connie and Jeff was for our wedding. They arrived on time, to two different locations (bride and groom) and captured all the moments wonderfully! We are very happy with our photos. They do have shots in mind, but they are more than willing to shoot shots you have in mind. I like that they were able to direct us. Yes, some of the shots seem a little goofy at the time, but they are actually our favorite photos from the day. If you trust them to do their job, you will be extremely happy!

Granted there are a few shots we wish they had gotten such as our toasting glasses, flower girl individual shots, and a few more bride and groom images. These shots were missed not because of them, but because we ran behind on time. They accommodated the time crunch and got the important shots that mattered. Side note: A friend of mine also got married around the same time as us, and hired a photographer for around the same price, but she didn’t get nearly the amount of photos (we got almost 2000) and had many vital shots missing (like individual shots with her girls).... For the money paid and what we got, we are very happy with the quality, the editing, and working with them...As with the engagement shoot, Connie and Jeff choose their "favorites" and edit those selections. Logistically it makes sense why they do this....

I also want to mention that originally, my husband and I had committed to more albums, but I lost my job 4 months before our wedding and so we had to cancel some of the albums. Connie and Jeff allowed this with no questions asked. Most photographers would not have allowed this. I feel that if you are honest with them, and treat them with respect they will do anything they can to accommodate you and make sure your happy...

As part of our package, we were to receive a metallic paged album with an engraved metal cover. Initially, this was one of the main reasons we hired them was for them and their talent obviously, and for the album. Sadly, when we were to okay the album we were informed the metal cover was no longer available. I was very frustrated, but it was not their fault. They did not have control over this matter and they offered comprobable alternatives to ensure our happiness. It was our fault for choosing an album so far out from our wedding...I am also a perfectionist, so when I got the preview for the album, I was not happy with the flow. Jeff was amazing in working with me to redesign the album so I was happy. He also threw in an additional album to make sure we are happy, and we are 100% satisfied with them and the experience of working with them...

All of my family was thrilled when we received a sneak peak website on shutter fly of all our wedding photos. It was a nice surprise from Connie and Jeff...

We already plan to hire them again, in the future for our monumental events...I recommend them....

Without Kerri, our wedding would have been totally unorganized. She was absolutely amazing, showed up early, and kept us on schedule. She called all our vendors and made sure everything was correct and how we wanted.

We had difficulties with our venue, and our puppy went missing the day of our wedding, but she managed to handle everything so that all of the problems that popped up were handled and everything was perfect. Everything was beautiful down to every detail, the day was so relaxed, organized and amazing! I cannot express the amount of joy I had knowing that I had someone on my side handling everything... my husband and I got to relax and enjoy the day knowing everything was handled as we wanted it....

She was always available throughout the process, and her expertise were priceless....She was by far the best money we spent, and I highly reccomend her to anyone who is considering a doc or planner.
