There is not one complaint I have about this business and sandy... she is truly an amazing person and runs here business with such passion. :)
GUEST




Sandy is so professional and creative. She has photographed both of our daughters wedding. I knew after my oldest daughter that I wanted her for our younger daughter. Her excitement to photograph each wedding makes it fun. Her pictures are beautiful. She does such a great job.
GUEST




Sandy VanderTol Photography was absolutely amazing! She worked with our busy schedules to fit in our engagement photos and was very flexible on our wedding day with last minute changes. She had very creative and ideas for our bridal party pictures and was very informative with other wedding day details that I would not have thought about on my own. I would recommend her to any bride!
GUEST




Sandy did a GREAT job on our photos. She did our engagement pictures, and we really felt like she took the time to get to know us and allow us to feel comfortable with her. She is so friendly and easy to talk to. We were her last wedding of 2011 due to a serious illness. Instead of thinking of herself (which would be totally understandable), Sandy had booked us a backup photographer so we wouldn't have to worry about finding someone else on late notice. We were so excited, however, to learn that she was in fact able to shoot our wedding. Her daughter in law Kasey worked as her assistant, and they both did a great job! I got all of the pictures I wanted, and even some that I didn't know I needed. The pictures turned out great! We have tons of great shots to choose from and are planning on hiring Sandy in the future to take family pictures for us. I would recommend her to anyone!
GUEST




Sandy and her daughter in law, Kasey. team together to capture the most beautiful wedding photos you could possibly wish for!! They caught every moment of our daughter's wedding day......priceless shots......wonderful memories preserved:)
GUEST




Sandy was AMAZING! Was such a pleasure to work with in the months leading up to the wedding, the wedding day, and after. She really kept things organized and moving along during pictures on the wedding day and had some really great ideas of interesting poses and shots to take. Oh, and the pictures are GORGEOUS. I would recommend Sandy to anyone.
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey were great to work with! As I was planning the event, Sandy would always return my emails usually within minutes. It was easy to ask her questions and get answers and she was also so positive and uplifting. Sandy also gave us great tips as we prepared for our wedding day. On the wedding day, Sandy was exceptionally organized. I have a large family and family pictures could have been very hard to do - but Sandy got everything done quickly and had fun doing it as well! The value of her services was great and I really liked how I could pick options a-la-carte and also get a DVD with the photo rights. I would highly recommend Sandy for any photography need you may have! She has lots of experience and makes the day fun as well. Thanks, Sandy!
GUEST




I highly recommend Sandy Vander Tol. I'm amazed by the work that she produces. Her attention to fine details in photography is astonishing. I absolutely loved working with her on my wedding day! :)
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey were amazing! They captured every moment throughout the day. They were also very flexible. Within days from the wedding, Sandy had posted some pictures on Facebook, which was so nice to see. Family and friends couldn't stop telling how amazing my wedding pictures and that was only 10% of them. I also loved the options to buy rights to all the pictures. Sandy was so quick to get all the pictures on a cd for me within 4 weeks.
GUEST




Sandy was a lot of fun to work with, and was very flexible able switching things around if needed. She did take longer than expected to get my picture DVD to me though. I do understand that it was a very busy time of year for her though. The pictures looked great, and because she uses a digital camera I feel you get a lot more pictures that with traditional film. Also she offers an array of services and products that you can mix and match to fit your needs. I found this to be very nice.
Vendor response to review
My normal turn around time for getting photos back to wedding clients is 8 weeks when we are in the thick of shooting weddings, seniors, families and kids in the fall. I had a gallery posted on Facebook for this couple to see within one week of their wedding. When some people have to wait more than a couple of days for something to occur, they get impatient, but most clients understand that it is very time consuming to color balance & process 1400 photos that we take at weddings. My father also passed away this summer, and dealing with his death and settling his estate stretched into fall and took time away from my processing of the wedding photos that were taken ahead of this wedding. I was very happy I could keep on my normal schedule of 8 weeks turn around time during this very stressful time, but to some people who don't understand this business, that must seem like a long time.
GUEST




Sandy was wonderful to work with. She was patient and positive. She was very helpful with an appropriate timeline to help organize the pre wedding plans and the day of the wedding plans. She took great pictures for the engagement and was very helpful with wisdom regarding many decisions that needed to be made for the wedding. The wedding pictures are beautiful, and we are all so pleased with her passion and her work. She was extremely responsive to our needs and very flexible. I am so glad we chose Sandy to be our photographer.
GUEST




Sandy VanderTol was amazing!! She captures every possible action that any bride would want. The first reason we picked Sandy was because of her options in a ala carte way. You don't have to pick a wedding package like so many of the other photographers have, you can basically pick exactly what you want and go with it! She is fun, profressional, easy-going, and likes your own feedback as well as her wonderful ideas, and together make beautiful photos!!:) We couldn't have picked a better photographer:) You will love her and her work!!
GUEST




She has a wonderful personality
she has had many years of experience
has wonderful ideas-goes the extra mile for you
gives you helpful hints
just a wonderful experience from start to finish
GUEST




Sandy was an absolute JOY to work with before, during, and after our wedding day!! She went above and beyond in everything she did- we loved, loved, loved our pictures. Sandy is easy to work with, and has lots of good advice for everything regarding your wedding. I said it was like having another mom along for the big day! She really enjoys her job, but is also very professional and organized. I couldn't have asked for a better person to take our photos. I also believe her prices are very fair- an awesome deal for the quality of work she does. We would recommend Sandy VanderTol Photography to anyone.
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey were awesome to work with and took beautiful pictures!! I was extremely hapy!
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey were great to have around on our wedding day. Sandy responded to every email practically immediately, and always had the answers I needed. I am confident that our big day would not have gone so smoothly without the organization and experience Sandy brought to the table. These two truly went out of their way to make sure everything went great, even if it had nothing to do with our pictures! I can't thank them enough for their support on our special day!
GUEST




Sandy Vander Tol Photography is all the above! Sandy and Kasey are the best photographers anyone could ask for. They went above and beyond at our wedding! I chose Sandy as my photographer because her portfolio is amazing, her personality is so vibrant and fun, she's honest, flexible and she definately knows what she is doing! My husband and I are extremely happy to have had Sandy and Kasey as our photographers and we would highly recommend anyone hire these two lovely ladies. The work they do is absolutely amazing! I can't say enough but I know anyone they work with will be completely satisfied!
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey did an amazing job. I didn't have to think about any thing, everything went so well and smooth. The pictures are beautiful and unique. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else!
GUEST




Sandy & Kasey are a great team! It is like have (2) photographers devoted to your day instead of (1). They are extremely friendly and fun, but they know how to get things done. We were ahead of schedule the whole day, and everyone listened to their direction very well. In addition they did a lot of unique shots, but without getting too artsy. I have seen some of the proofs, and the photos turned out gorgeous. In addition I am looking forward to sitting down and putting together our album with Sandy. The personal attention and responsiveness have been phenomenal. I would recommend this team 100%.
GUEST




Great quality (and quantity) for a reasonable price. Sandy is very professional and the pictures that she takes are amazingly beautiful! You will not be disappointed with this photographer!
GUEST




Sandy is extremely pleasant & very accomodating. She is very organized and efficient. She was most helpful with suggestions for the wedding reception planning related to the seating and flow arrangement of tables. She is very easy to work with. She suggested a few web sites that provided special touches for our wedding, ie: God's love knot - three cord strand. We ordered our invitations through her and were very pleased with her assistance.
GUEST




Sandy did a wonderful job on our wedding! The pictures turned our beautifully, and I am overly impressed about her level of expertise in photography as well as her attention to detail. She spent a long time with me putting our wedding album together and I am so excited to get it! On the wedding day, she kept the schedule rolling perfectly to ensure that I got every shot that I wanted and quite a few extra creative shots as well. Her and Casey are a great team, and I would recommend her to anyone. When my younger sister gets married someday, we are definitely going back to Sandy!
GUEST




Sandy and her daughter-in-law were both exceptionally flexible to our needs. They were both very creative with pictures and the cost was a great price for everything they did for us!
GUEST




Sandy Vander Tol was absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I immediately felt comfortable around her. We knew right away we wanted her as our wedding photographer. The day of our ceremony she arrived early to get everything set up. I was so happy when I received my wedding photos, she did a wonderful job. Everyone tells me how beautiful they are. I would recommend anyone to Sandy. She is very professional but yet a lot of fun to work with. I will definitely use her again for future photos.
GUEST




Sandy, works realy hard to give you what you want for your wedding to make it perfect. Her pictures are Awesome.
GUEST




Sandy did an amazing job, not only on my pictures but helping with the timeline of the day. If you are looking for a vendor who you dont have to worry if they will do a good job, or show up definately book with her. She was truely a blessing through my entire wedding process.
GUEST




She knows what she wants and when she wants it. She is a good photographer for the price. But know ahead of time that you cannot get your proofs to your pictures. She did get our pictures back to us very fast though!
Vendor response to review
Amy was given a proof book containing about 260 photos and proof magazines containing another 502 photos. These are hers to keep. My brochure has many options and she chose the proof book option plus a wedding album that we will design together.
GUEST




AMAZING! Sandy and Kasey did an outstanding job! Sandy is one of the most helpful people I met throughout my wedding planning expirience! She helped me find my DJ, Flowers, and reception site! They both have an eye for something creative, different, and ideas to bring out who you are as an individual and a couple! I can't praise them enough for doing such a beautiful job on our pictures. They will be our photographers for life!

GUEST




Sandy was AWESOME...along with her daughter-in-law Casey. Sandy took awesome engagement pictures for us and even called us to do them an hour early to avoid the rain which was a blessing since I had had my hair, make-up, and nails done for the pictures. Sandy was very quick to respond to any questions or concerns I had along with giving helpful hints about doing things a certain way or picking a certain vendor. I had SO many awesome proofs to choose from and she designed an awesome book with my husband and I to remember our special day. She also did our invitations, place cards, table numbers, and thank yous...which all turned out GREAT too. Highly recommend!
GUEST




Sandy and Kasey did an AWESOME job at our wedding. They were well organized and committed to keeping our wedding party on schedule. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Our wedding album is a treasure we will charish as we look back and remember our big day!
GUEST




Sandy was a great photographer and was easy to work with, the only thing I would say is don't assume that she will take the pictures you want, you have to tell her.. when all was said and done, there were no pictures of me coming down the aisle with my dad and only one full length shot of my husband and I which came out blurry.
Vendor response to review
I just pulled up Jennifer's wedding and have to dispute her comments. There are always 2 photographers for each wedding and in her case one was stationed in the balcony and myself on the main floor. I count 20 photos of her and her father just before walking down the aisle, during the walk down the aisle and until he kissed her to give her away. We were snapping away every few seconds during that walk down the aisle, so for her to say we didn't take any photos of that is simply not true. I also counted 12 full length photos of Jennifer and Alessandro, both in the chapel and outside under the trees. In addition to those 12 full length photos, we also took 66 close up photos of just the two of them. We logged 870 photos taken for her wedding and reception, which is standard for the smaller package she purchased with me.
GUEST




Sandy was fantastic to work with. She has a great sense of humor which helps to ease the nervousness of the bride, groom, and wedding party but she also is extremely professional and sticks to the photography time line so that you stay on schedule. She easy manner keeps things moving without adding any tension or stress. She is a fantastic photographer and we marvel to this day at our amazing wedding pictures. I would highly recommend her for your wedding!

Sandy was great to work with! She is very professional and does amazing work. I know of at least 4 other couples who have chosen Sandy as their photographer after seeing my pictures. Your wedding day gets so busy and you miss so many different moments, but I was glad to have Sandy there because she seemed to have captured them all!
