I got married in October of 2008 and Lisa was my stylist. I was really happy with the way my hair came out, she did an amazing job. I never wear my hair up, but my husband mentioned he wanted to see me with an "up-do". Even though I wasn't quite sure about it Lisa worked with me and styled my hair during our trial run until it came out just right. She took pictures and notes and made sure it came out the exact same way on the wedding day- two days later. (This was a destination wedding, so she was able to schedule me in for a trial run and get an assistant for the wedding day all within short notice, for which I'm really greatful for!)

She is very professional and helpful, I highly recommend her. Lisa and her assistant arrived on time and fully prepared. They styled my, my mother-in-law's hair, and my seven bridesmaids... and they did a fabulous job. Looking back at all the photos I'm really pleased, everyone looks great!

My husband and I got married in October 2008 in Huntington Beach CA. Ben Chen was our photographer and he was awesome!

This was a destination wedding and the guest total was right at 50 people. As I was planning the wedding I was really nervous about not meeting any of my vendors until mid-week before the wedding. Ben was really great about details and planning over the phone, he is very thorough and at the end I realized how priceless that really is. He made time to photograph us three days before the wedding on the beach and I'm so glad we made time to do this because those photos came out so good, they really capture the romantic element that could have easily gotten lost in all of the stress and rush of our packed schedule. Ben really put in alot of work to get just the right shots, with great lighting effects and the whole bit.

On the wedding day he arrived as planned and got some great shots of us getting ready. At the church he ended being subject to alot of unplanned restrictions (not previously disclosed) but he was able to make the best of it and took really good pictures, despite the disadvantage. I was really happy with the outcome. At the reception he captured everything I wanted... and at sunset we were able to get some truly amazing photos.

I highly recommend Ben, he was great to work with. Highly professional and a good communicator.
