We heart Sam Lim and his crew!!!

First of all, wedding planning can get really really addictive, especially picking the photographer as there are so MANY websites and packages. One of the things I realized early on is that very few photographers actually have professional training. The photos looked awesome on the website, but they are generally post-production'ed in photoshop. I was interested in finding a professionally trained photographer who executed perfect pictures all the time.

I found Sam through a wedding magazine and just instantaneously loved his "eye". Like all girls, I use to read Vogue/Vanity Fair obsessively and have always adored the the Annie Liebowitz portraits. I saw so much of that with Sam's photography and composition. Another thing that really impressed me is how amazing his COLOR photos are -- I always felt that it is easier to shoot an above average BW photo compared to a color photo (don't stone me aspiring photogs!)

Sam was the second and last photographer we interviewed, he had an amazing set-up and very reasonable prices. Our E-session was wonderful, but it wasn't until the wedding that I realized how amazing he was.

He arrived on time, was entirely professional, put both myself and my husband at ease. We had a jam packed wedding day with First Look, Ceremony, Bridal party, formal portraits, Paebek (Korean wedding ceremony) and Reception. He and his team made the process effortless and proved to be fabulous companions on that day. I have never seen my mom and dad more beautiful and at ease then they were with Sam (which is saying a lot). Also they brought two beautiful, HUGE Apple monitors and did same day editing that totally wowed our guests.

And now, barely 2 and half weeks later, we have already received proofs, all 1800 of them and I would say 90 percent of them are spectacular. He (upon my request) shot portraits for most of our friends, they have love it so much that a lot of them have ask for reprints and have made it their facebook profile pics.

OVERALL AMAZING, book an appointment now, you will NOT be disappointed.

Kerrie is so beyond fabulous! My husband and I hired Kerrie for our month-of coordinator at the urging of our venue. Originally I was very reluctant to hire a coordinator because I thought we could do it all ourselves and saw it as a totally unnecessary expense (in fact I think one of my questions to Kerrie was "why is a coordinator necessary") but OMG thank god cooler heads prevailed.

I started off my WC interviewing process believing I would hire an Asian vendor as my husband's family is Korean and they speak very little English. They also had a lot of demands for the wedding (such as performing a traditional Korean ceremony, the food, the decor etc. etc.) but honestly, Kerrie was the winner hands down as someone who is warm, caring, organized and CALM.

About 3-4 weeks before the wedding, I was 10 out of 10 on the stress level scale and magically one day, all vendors stopped calling me, I stopped hearing about problems with the venue and Kerrie just stepped in and took over! I have sent that girl something like 10 to 15 emails in one day (just on a few times, not because I'm crazy!) and she get's back to me generally in the same day -- even the 11pm emails.

She really shined on the day of the wedding. My bridal party, my family, my husband and I just totally enjoyed the day and didn't think or worry about ANYTHING. She calmly directed all the vendors, the setting and problem solved without getting us involved. There was a hiccup regarding seating at our reception, but she was able to calm me down, show me that it was a small misstep and certainly nothing to get worked up about.

In conclusion, in Kerrie you are hiring a artisitc consultation, a personal assistant, a psychotherapist, a Mom/sister/favorite cousin, and a tough negotiator all in one package... a fabulous deal!
