The entire team at 456 weddings are a wonderful team to work with. I was a Bride whose wedding was postponed due to Covid 19. I was stressed and overwhelmed with my entire plans being changed. As a bride the days before your wedding day is hect...
ic, Kal spent hours talking me through our moments of and I am forever grateful for that. 456 weddings helped make my dreams come true! I would highly recommend. I can not wait to get our pictures back& video. All of your vision will come to life!
Professional on point
I met with Linda to discuss our wedding. She seemed nice and I was referred by another couple that wasn't getting married until a year after our wedding. My wedding was July 1,2016. During the day she seemed tired and uninterested. Which the ph...
otos reflect. They were nothing like what we expected. There were no special or memorable shots. The photos were very dark and many were not even focused. We did not receive our CDs on a disk until December. I continued to request editing or lightening of the photos but Linda " did not understand what I meant". To be honest I basically gave up on the edits. What she did edit after all the back and forth were the photos that were blurred or someone was blinking in. We received our video (which was actually decent) a few months after. Then last week on July 22,2017 we received our photo album. 1 year after our wedding. The album was a very nice quality filled with the photos we chose. I deferred writing this review until I received everything because I want to ensure she fulfilled all she said she would. After over 50 emails back and forth, some unanswered for weeks... She did. Unfortunately over all this has been a terrible experience.
Response from the Vendor on 07/29/2017
Hi Shenelle,
456 Weddings is saddened to hear you were unhappy with our services. Out of the 76 weddings we shot last year (2016), 5 others were at your venue (The Coral House) and those couples are happy with our service.
Making statement...
s like we were “tired and uninterested” is so far from the truth and downright offensive. On your wedding day we arrived early and began to take pictures and video. Unfortunately, it rained on your wedding day and therefore many of the amazing exterior shots in the garden, gazebo, and by the outdoor lake were not possible. We were limited to interior shots with flash and artificial lighting. Throughout the day, the cinematographer and I worked tirelessly to ensure you received the shots you wanted. I personally didn’t even take a break or eat during cocktail hour, just to ensure all the images were taken. As with many weddings, issues arise beyond the control of the bride, groom and vendors. The weather was one. Other issues were your guests showing up who didn’t RSVP, and your DJ having technical difficulties, causing a mental distraction for you, and making your wedding day go off schedule. Rather than capturing beautiful memorable images and memories of you, your husband and your guests, dancing and having a good time, 456Weddings was reduced to capturing table shots of all the guests at each section while issues were being sorted out.
The edited images were sent in a timely manner on September 1st (3 months after your wedding) via online gallery . You told us to hold off making the album until all the edits were to your liking. During several phone conversations and many emails, your issue with the images concerned altering facial expressions of people and lightning of the images, which seemed to delay the process even more. Because of your unhappiness with the initial edit, I proceeded to re-edit your wedding 3 different times until we arrived at what you considered “satisfactory”. We also invited you to come into the studio to discuss specifically how we could make this work, but you never came.
All images delivered, are the same style as what is displayed in our portfolio. Please feel free to post your album layout here and compare them with other images that have been taken at The Coral House.
We are sorry your wedding day did not turn out as planned, and of course we are apologetic that our style of photography on your day did not turn out how you had envisioned . Making statements like I was “uninterested” in your day is so far from the truth. WE did everything we could to please you, but it was to no avail. Photographing weddings is my life and there no greater joy than to have happy brides who are appreciative and thankful of your effort and hardwork on their wedding day. Again, 456 Weddings is sorry your pictures did not come out how you had envisioned but we are hopeful that your album and wedding dvd video showcases the good and memorable parts of your wedding.
Best,
Linda

Linda was awesome! She travelled all the way down to Pittsburgh to do my engagement photos on the coldest day of winter last year. And she captured so many beautiful moments from my wedding. The only thing was there was the turn around time for...
my photos were longer than originally said. Other than that, if you want good quality photos, reliable photographer who goes above and beyond, reasonably priced, and ability to get multiple things then look no further. We bundled our videography, save the date magnets and thank you cards with her and are pleased will all items. Thank you!
Linda, Kal and Jelo were awesome to work with. Our wedding video was more than we expected and captured so many wonderful moments from our day. We even received a beautiful highlight video. We had such a hard time picking out photos for our al...
bum because there were so many great photos to choose from. I can't wait to see the finished product. I'm so pleased and so happy we chose 456 Weddings for our special day.
Linda was wonderful! Not only did all of our wedding photos come back within days of the wedding, but the quality is incredible, we couldn't be more pleased! Linda is also considered one of the quickest in the business. We had between 700-800 b...
eautiful photos returned to us, but she made sure we weren't spending all of our time away from the celebration. She had us on the dance floor in no time!

Linda is truly a professional. We enjoyed working with her throughout our yearlong engagement. Linda took amazing engagement photos, had our "love story" filmed by Kal, which was a huge hit at the wedding, and really did a great job on our wedd...
ing day. Things are always so hectic on the wedding day, but Linda remained incredibly calm and whenever I would ask "can we get this shot? Do we have time for this shot?" She would respond with "Whatever you want beautiful, this is your day!" Which made me feel calm and important! She worked so well with all of our vendors and I really appreciated how Linda did all she could to ensure our day ran smoothly. She acted on our behalf multiple times to ensure that things were done right and that we would have the best day possible. I truly recommend her work and am sad our time working with Linda is over!
Linda was absolutely fabulous to work with on my wedding day! She was so easy to get a hold of and plan prior to the wedding and great to work with on my wedding day as well. My grandmother made the comment that she "never saw her take a photog...
raph at the reception." Linda didn't interfere with the events but she captured them flawlessly! I just got my pictures back this week and they are absolutely fantastic! We are so happy and impressed with her work and I would recommend 456 Weddings to anyone.
Fantastic
I wanted to thank 456 Weddings, especially Linda and Kal, for the amazing job they did at our wedding. The way your company captured our special day was awesome. I cried when we watched the video. The pictures were elegantly done. The...
y were truly breath taking.
In January 2016, we met Linda and Kal at a Bridal Show. The clock was ticking on our March wedding. So many things had gone wrong. We were just about to put the wedding on hold. Not only did they recommend the perfect location for us as a venue...
. They gave us an amazing package. It seemed too good to be true. 2 photographers and 2 videographers at that price. It was an excellent package. Kevin and I were totally blown away by the amazing images and video 456 Weddings delivered to us while we were still on our honeymoon. Yes, we got the 2 day rush job and it was worth every cent. Thank you so much Linda!
Our amazing wedding was at the Westbury Manor. It was a day I dreamt about for years. Just like almost every engaged couple, we spent so much time, energy and money into organizing our "big day" that we wanted to make sure that every detail and...
special moment was captured and saved. On our special day 456 Weddings delivered on their promise. I can’t stop looking at our photos. I’m transformed each time I look at them. Every moment comes flooding back to me. I love them that much! Josh, who absolutely loathes being in front of the camera, can't stop looking at them because they came out that fantastic! Linda’s fun and kind personality and approach made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. What you see in 456 Weddings gorgeous portfolio is what you get! She hit the nail right on the head in terms of the total style and feel we were looking for. Linda is professional, personable and a perfectionist.
Linda is a pleasure to work with. We did our engagement shoot and we loved all the pictures. we can't wait till our wedding day to see the amazing work she will do too! she was humble and calm during the whole process and worked with our schedu...

Linda did such a good job I loved every minute of it and how she captured all the little details. Ah-May-zing!!!
Linda is an amazing person and photographer. We have not received our wedding photos/video as yet, but our engagement photos were so beautiful we used them as our table numbers.
456 Weddings did phenomenal work at my wedding October 29th, 2011. Despite the snow storm, 456 Weddings put in so much effort to make sure that we recieved all of the shots we wanted. They took amazing and creative shots to ensure that our wedd...
ing album, as well as video would be absolutely flawless tokens of our big day. My husband and I recommend 456 Weddings for any occasion. We plan on using them for all of our events to come.
