I loved my consultation with Anna! She is warm, personable, and an amazing designer! She listened attentively to my ideas and my floral favorites, then pulled out her books of weddings she's done. She began sketching what she thought she heard me saying and was right on!

I received a very detailed proposal from her a week after. I did not end up using Anna as I really could not afford her (and the flowers/designs that I really wanted!).

If you are looking for custom designs, someone who will spend lots of time with you, and you have a moderate/flexible budget, Anna really will give you the best of the best! You will be the only wedding she is doing that weekend, thus her primary focus.

John and his wife are an awesome team! Fiance and I really enjoyed our Engagement session and can't wait to work with them again for our wedding!

John is very responsive to e-mails and phone calls; he was able to match my very difficult schedule for a session and was flexible about time and location. He is also willing to travel from Everett to anywhere in the South Sound area.

Wedding albums are custom-printed and hand bound in Italy--they are gorgeous and I know we'll treasure ours forever.

The photos turned out amazing! and John's session and print prices are quite reasonable. If you are looking for a fun, relaxed, classic photographer, look no further than John! (He's even a 2x Knot pick!)

I also had a very negative experience with LM's. I called to set up an appt. to browse through dresses 16 months prior to my wedding. I was told over the phone that I was looking "too early" for my wedding date and that anything I liked would be out of style by the time my date rolled around. I decided to go anyway because LM's is the place that all the 'cools' in the Puyallup area buy their gowns.

When I arrived, they were disorganized and again told me anything I chose that day would be quickly 'out of style' even after I explained that if the dress had a 'style' I would not be purchasing it! They assaigned a new seamstress who barely spoke English as my attendant. I felt so awful for this poor girl! I told her what I wanted, and she had no idea where to look, pulling dresses that were the exact opposite of what I wanted.

Lady Margaret's staff was not knowledgeable and rude. The store is very cramped and way overpriced. Don't waste your time (or your money).
