Kelly just took my boudoir pictures and created a beautiful book for my fiance. I love her! I was a little nervous about the boudoir pictures, but she made me feel so comfortable and pretty! The pictures came out amazing! I love her style. None of the pictures look trashy, which I was worried about. Her style is so elegant and still sexy and she is affordable! I had her come to my house to take pictures instead of a hotel. It cut down on cost; I felt more comfortable, and we were able to take pictures in my fiance's favorite chair! The book came out amazing and was also really reasonable. I just love Kelly! She is so sweet and so approachable. I would definitely choose her all over again!

Written Pre-Wedding:

I fell in love with Michael's photography when I stumbled upon it on a venue's site. I thought Michael would be out of my price range, but he worked with us and found us a package that worked for us. He has been so quick to respond to any email or phone call. When I first met him, he talked a little too much, and I didn't feel like he had really heard what my fiance and I had said. However, the very next day he sent us slideshows similar to our venue that addressed our concern. He also called me, and we talked more about a few of my questions. Michael is not only professional but friendly and kind. He let me ramble about my family coming to the wedding, and I heard about his son's latest adventures.

More importantly, I love Michael's style and outstanding experience. In an industry that is littered with amateurs, he not only has a bachelors from Brooks in photography but has shot hundreds of weddings. I met so many photographers who have been shooting for a few years and have no professional training. They think that a seven-degree-tilted, black and white picture is great photojournalism. Michael has an amazing ability to capture moments. He takes pictures of people and their emotions. I feel like a lot of times photographers get lost in being artistic. I don't want a piece of abstract art to hang on my wall. I want pictures of the people I love on the most important day of my life. He takes vivid pictures of joyous people on the happiest day of their lives! I am so excited to have him as my photographer and will update you on how my wedding goes!

Post-Wedding Review:

I would HIGHLY recommend Michael! I LOVE him! He is wonderful. His pictures are amazing! I am so happy with them. Many people have commented that our pictures are the best they have seen. I may be biased, but I agree with them!! On the day of our wedding Michael was on time. He was very good at working with us. He gave us directions without being bossy or overbearing and made it fun to take pictures. And he wouldn't stop taking pictures! Finally, he was very quick to post our pictures and a custom slideshow of our favorites. He returns emails and phone calls very quickly. Finally, I just finished compiling and ordering our wedding album. He was easy to work with, making suggestions but making any changes I wanted. The only downside is that we ended up spending over twice as much as we wanted to on our album. We wanted to do a 30 side, $875 album but ended up doing a 48 side album for $1900. I am very excited about the album, but I really would plan on spending that much. Its your wedding album and after you have spent so much on the wedding, you really want to remember every little detail which means more pictures and more sides. Lastly, my only recommendation would be to make a list of must have pictures, type it up and give it to your photographer. While there aren't any shots that were missed, there are some I would have liked more of. For example, I only have one picture of me and my mother-in-law. There was one picture of ours shoes, and I wish I would have told Michael, "Hey, I really want a picture of all the bridesmaids shoes." Luckily, I have one, but sometimes photographers don't know which random details are important to you. I think however that is advice for any photographer! :)
