KerriW's reviews

My husband and I met with a good number of photographers, more than any other vendor, because we felt that the pictures (aside from the venue) were going to be the most important decision. We met with photographers we had been referred to, we met with "world renowned" photographers and we met with photographers with over 30 years of experience. Then we met with Vicki. Vicki was not the most experienced and we had only found her through a search on the internet, but I liked the pictures on her site and her prices seemed very reasonable so we decided to sit with her anyway. One of the first things I noticed when talking with her was how passionate she is about photography and in particular how much she enjoys being able to be the one capturing all the special moments between loved ones that happen in her engagement sessions and weddings. She was also very fun and easy to get along with. After some discussion we decided to go with her. The decision was based on price, the quality and style of her pictures, and also because we felt so comfortable with her that we knew we would be able to look comfortable and natural in the pictures she took.

We met at a park in CT for the engagement session and it was just a great day! We walked around the park and Vicki and her husband Erik would follow us around taking candid shots. They would point to a spot and say, "That looks pretty, why don't you go over there and hang out". They gave enough direction that we didn't feel awkward in our positions or movements but then let us go so that we weren't stiff. Half the time we forgot they were there! Vicki had a sample of the pictures ready almost immediately and got the rest of the pictures to us in no time. We were so happy with the pictures that we couldn't wait for the wedding just to see the pictures we would get!

The wedding went even better than the e-session. During the ceremony and the reception they were virtually invisible. They were never in the way and they didn't set up forced "candid" shots. they stood back and chronicled the day for us catching the best bits and pieces. Even the formal shots were made fun. Vicki and Erik are very creative and are totally open to suggestions of fun shots or they can go as formal as you'd like. You can make of your photo sessions what you want of them. We have so many perfect shots, so many amazing moments captured we're not even sure what to frame!

The bottom line is, my husband and I would recommend Vicki, or both Vicki and Erik to anyone who wants a great photographer. They are so easy to get along with, they are professional, and they take amazing shots. They can do formal shots and fun goofy shots and they all come out great. We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our photographer and we couldn't have gotten better pictures to remember our day by.
