Friday.....already?

Today i wanted to share something special you. I got my first review from a bride :) How cool is that! Chelsea and Jamie got married on July 11th 2010. Their family is so relaxed and friendly me and my husband felt right at home. I also shot her bridal pictures and their engagement session. I LOVED the engagement session we had so much fun together. Normally the session would take little over an hour,we shot for about 2 hours straight.

So this is what Chelsea said on WeddingChannel.com


PERFECT!

Maris is wonderful! She is accommodating and artistic! She does the more artistic side of portraits, but when I wanted some of the traditional shots, she did not disappoint! My father thought she ...was great because she was personable and also invisible! No one noticed her moving around during the ceremony and she wasn't overbearing during the reception. She also did my bridal portraits and engagement shoot. She had creative locations and was great in giving direction and thinking of new ideas. I brought props and she used them so well in all of the pictures. Her editing is wonderful. The best part, she gives you all of your prints on a CDROM to keep for yourself with a copyright release form! So no paying per print. For bridal and engagement she gave us about 300 pictures each shoot and wedding we had over 500! A good variety and she not only took pictures of people at the wedding and key moments, but also details of the venue, flowers, accessories, etc. We were on a tight budget so only hired her for 3 hours on the wedding day, but she still got so much done! She was there an hour before the ceremony while we were getting ready, during the ceremony and then for most of the reception. She returned the bridal and engagement photos within 3 days and the wedding photos within a week! The day of my bridal portraits, it stormed and rained all day and we were going to be outside. She moved the date to two weeks later, which was the only other weekend that worked for me, without even a hesitation! She was perfect. There is not ONE complaint about Maris. I would hire her for any future photography need for the rest of my life! She is great and so artistic! She has great rates for such a wonderful outcome.

Isn't she a sweetie?
