Life Gallery Photo & Video

in any way and he was patient when going through my "must have" list of family photos. He was so much fun to work with! And because of that it made taking the staged photos so much more fun! <3 Randy was our videographer for the day and he was a total sweetheart! He managed to stay almost invisible, which to me seems like what a good videographer should be...you don't want that camera all up in your face all night long, you want it to look genuine and real, and with his technique I'm fully confident it will be! Both were great! Being in contact with Scott throughout the whole process with effortless and he was very patient with all my questions and concerns that I had, and oh so very helpful with everything!! It took slightly over a week for us to get our photos back from Jonathan and we absolutely LOVE them! Can't wait for the video from Randy!! Definitely recommend them as a team for anyone looking for a photographer/videographer package for their wedding or event coming up!!! We were so happy and please with everything about them!!! <3

love candid photography and most of our pictures are like that and we love them. I just received my photos online so have a lot to do going through them and choose the right ones. I can not wait to publish them as an album to always look at them and remember those moments. He captured the most important moments of our life in a beautiful way. Thank You Mike and Life Gallery Studio.

fun to go through. We also just recently got our highlight video along with the extra raw footage and I think I have watched it about 100 times in 3 days. Very prompt with answering questions. We would definitely recommend!

they have backups and even owner Scott will come out if necessary) Before we signed a contract, we had spoken with Mike who would be taking our photos on the day of the wedding. Mike was fantastic. He understood we were looking for more photo journalism style than posed photos – my husband and I understand we both take bad posed photos. Life Studio allows you to pay via credit card without incurring an additional fee. Mike arrived on time and worked with us as we moved throughout the day and to the different locations. He even braved the rain to get us outdoor newlywed photos getting quite wet himself. But I will say the photos are beautiful. I am so happy with everything – the before shots, the ceremony shots, the newlywed shots, and the reception shots. Just perfect. And he had no issue with my family and friends running around taking photos themselves. Scott worked with us after the wedding as it took about 2 weeks to edit all 927 photos and send us over the link to our portfolio. He was able to advise us on obtaining the photo copies digitally and answered all our questions about albums and prints. Overall our experience with Life Studio was simply perfect. We highly recommend them.

zing folks - even though we had a grandma unexpectedly trying to tell them what to do! They were both a lot of fun to work with, had great photo ideas, and were happy to go with the flow. (my husband and I both had photos we'd forgotten to ask for, and a few we asked for that we realized we couldn't get - Dana and Michelle were both very understanding & accommodating!)

ons of their photos online once you book with them, choose your favorites, and based on your favorites, they pick a photographer for you that matches your favorite style of photo. We got Mike for our main photographer and Michelle for our secondary... both were great! They took tons of pictures of both stationary items and decorations as well as wonderful action shots of guests dancing, etc. We just received our pictures, and got around 1600 pictures! They are of many different styles, with several black and white as well. We feel that everything we wanted to get pictures of, we have. They made sure to take the specific photos we requested. They were there when you wanted them and in the background when you didn't, which is great. Overall, great to work with, and I got my pictures within about 10 days, which is wonderful!

g our entire ceremony (start to finish). If I needed help with my veil, a quick stitch, a bobby pin, etc., Jonathan was the first one there to provide what I needed. He captured every picture we wanted. If I ever needed to hire a photographer again there's no doubt I would contact Life Gallery Studio and ask for Jonathan.

tellar! He truly made the day a special one and I'm so happy that we found Life Gallery!

hotographers and they did amazing work! We received our pictures in a week and they are all so perfect. They had great ideas and captured so many more photos than I even thought possible. We also hired videographers through life gallery and they were kind and always in the background taking videos. We haven't gotten out video yet but I am very excited to see how it turned out. I have no doubt it'll be wonderful. The price was great as well, Scott worked with us and we got a great deal. Overall, my husband and I are very happy with our decision to hire Life Gallery Studio to capture our special day.

say not only how great the pictures came out but also how lovely and kind Michelle was to work with. We had a small wedding, outdoors - and it rained and it was fantastic anyway. She worked with my family and guests without any awkwardness and helped calm my weather nerves on top of it all. I found Life Gallery last year at a point when I had about given up on being able to afford a photographer at all and I could not be more pleased - their rates are within reach for couples on a budget like we were and they did a great job. I was able to customize my package to provide what was important to us (photos all night) and leave aside extras like an album that weren't in the cards at the time with an option to go back and buy one later. On top of all that I don't think it was even two weeks that went by before I had my pictures. Thank you son much, Michelle!

ecommend Life Gallery to anyone looking for professional photographers.

engagement shoot). However, it worked out great, as expected. Mike was great with the whole Bridal Party and setting everyone up. He had some great ideas for photos and was also willing to take our ideas on the fly. Our package included an Artisan Album which turned out amazing. The photographs were great and overall we were very satisfied. I am glad this is what I chose to splurge on and it was worth every penny!

ainly glad we got two photographers. One half star rating because one of the photographers had a bit of an invasive personality. However, I talked to the studio afterwards and they were EXTREMELY receptive and kind. In any case, she still took great photos which is all that matters.

wedding and at the wedding Ronda was such a huge help that I'm not sure our day would have gone as smooth without her! Lastly, we received our photos in only 2 weeks and are very happy with them.

ed, they work as sort of a general contractor, hiring photographers as needed and then doing the processing and printing (if you purchase anything) in-house. We learned that we would have the digital and printing rights to all our shots, both from our engagement photo session (offered as part of our package) and the wedding itself, but we could purchase books or prints from them if we chose to do so. We were assigned Roxana as our photographer, and really liked her sample work. I was happy we were able to do the engagement shoot ahead of time to get to know her and see some of her work with us--we were very pleased with how those shots turned out and how she captured our personalities. She had a lot of great suggestions on the day of the wedding as well, and got so many interesting, artsy shots that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. She also did a great job capturing shots within the fairly rigid rules of wedding photography at our church during the ceremony itself. We love all the candid and pre-ceremony or reception shots. Our only negative point was that the formal family portraits taken at the church after the ceremony/before the reception were not lit particularly well, and turned out not quite as well as we would have liked. I’m hoping maybe we can correct this working with the studio on some retouching.

making sure we got a photo with each family member in multiple options. Jonathan and his assisted were on top of everything, he really knew how a wedding ran and made me feel at ease even though I had a day of Cordinator. He really stepped up and made sure that the photos I needed to get taken got taken in the timeframe that I wanted. He also took the time to pull us aside when the sun was setting to get some amazing sunset photos that me and my husband would never even have thought to go outside to take and they are some of the best photos that we have, we are really happy that he recognize and opportunity and went with it. He worked so hard and it was so amazing to work with, especially since the day of the wedding was the first time shooting with him he made me and my husband feel so comfortable and we really have nothing but amazing things to say. No only was Jonathan amazing to work with but my photos were available to me after just two weeks and working with the studio was great!

helpful. Jonathan (our photographer) was friendly, enthusiastic, and did a wonderful job! He offered many suggestions for different photos and poses and was also open to any ideas we had as well. When we were unable to take wedding photos at the site we had originally planned, Jonathan was quick to offer several other suggestions for great photo sites in the area. He helped to make the wedding day relaxed and fun. Our photos turned out beautifully, and we received them (over 2000!) within 2 weeks after the wedding.

in regards to working with them, the photographer or the images!

nd great shots. Did I mention we got our proofs back within one week of our wedding? THANK YOU to the whole LGS team (Scott, Mike & Heather) for capturing such a special day so flawlessly. We look forward to using LGS whenever we start expanding our family!

tic candid shots that you could want. I was worried because typically I don't think that I photograph well, but Kawshiq gives you simple easy to follow directions that will have you looking amazing in every picture. He got a ton of wonderful shot of us and our guest without feeling intrusive, and he did great with dealing with our families too. The photos were edited quickly and sent to us fast. I would recommend life gallery and Kawshiq to anyone!

well in advanced for our June 2016, but we decided not to have a big wedding and go for a small wedding in July 2015. The company was flexible and we were able to keep the same photographer. The photographer arrived 15 mins early, which is always a plus. Our friends and family are still talking about how amazing the pictures turned out! If you want AMAZING pictures without killing your wedding budget go with this company.

he engagement and wedding pictures turned out better than I could have imagined! The pictures are timeless and classic. Mike worked throughout the night capturing every aspect so that we are now able to look back and really reminisce on our wedding night. Mike was a huge hit with parents, bridesmaids, and guests! He was encouraging and made everyone feel relaxed while he worked to snap our family photos in the very hot and humid MD weather. He worked with my coordinators and DJ to make sure he was in the right places at the right times to get the best shots. I can't thank Life Gallery and Mike enough for giving us the best wedding photos and service.

amazing experience on my big day. I highly recommend Life Gallery Studios.

our ideas and gave lots of good suggestions. Highly recommend this company.

idance. I was assigned Michael as our wedding photographer. He went above and beyond to ensure we had a fabulous event, fabulous pictures, and just was so perfect. They were the best vendor we had - above and beyond any other vendor. We were on a tight budget, so I had to make sure we didn't lose quality and in fact, our photos are beyond fabulous. I had several photographers friends referred me to. Their wedding pictures weren't half as good and those photographers were charging between $2,000 - $5,000 for 4 hours! I was blown away. Life Gallery Studio's price was totally perfect, service was amazing, the quality of our photos are spectacular and I hope we have a need to use their services for family photos down the road! 5 star, highly recommend!!

oodness we were wrong! From the initial consultation, to the process of picking the right photographer for us, to the wedding - I felt Scott and his crew actually cared. Our actual photographer, Jenny, couldn't have been better. I'm a bride who provided very little direction (I had no idea what type of photos I wanted, I just knew I didn't want us to spend hours on them), but Jenny knew exactly what to do and captured all the best moments. Even if you aren't a bride on a budget, I highly recommend Life Gallery Studio. The service they provide is the best any bride could ask for.

ered was perfect for what I was looking for. What they could have done better: 1. The photographer could have taken some more artsy photos, but I'm sure that's harder to do when most of the photos you get are unedited. 2. The photographer could have provided more ideas for poses. I like the direction he provided and just wish there was more of it. I highly recommend Life Gallery for those who: 1. Don't want to pay a huge amount for wedding photos 2. Want important photos taken and for them to look professional 3. Care about customer service and want to work with friendly and reliable staff

and the pictures turned out fantastic! They also gave us full rights to the pictures as well as offering printing services. Thanks!

ur needs with my husband having a split family and loads of drama from that. He was always professional and the packages we're affordable. We talked to Scott about Rhonda having read the review on yelp. He explained his side of the story. We figured it was somewhere in between the two but had decided to opt for not using her if she was the one assigned to us. They have you pick various photos and assign you to a photographer based on which ones you like. A week before the wedding Scott calls us and told us that our photographer was Rhonda and she'd be contacting us. We we're leary because of the one review but decided that they are professionals and if she matched the photos we wanted it would be best to stick with her. We are so glad we did! She called us and put at us ease confirming that she could easily handle my husbands family. Went over the various shots we wanted. She was nothing but amazing and professional the whole time. She went above and beyond the whole day. Being a calming energy during a chaotic day. She helped out beyond her duties. She worked hard and he whole time except a very short time when she ate and we we're eating and our guests. And shots of ppl stuffing their faces wouldn't have been good. I could not recommend her enough or thank her enough for her services that day. Our photos are amazing! Better than i could have imagined, she got all 100 things i requested somehow, even when i told her i would be happy if she maybe got half of them. She came up with many shots for us, either based on a concept I had seen on pinterest or just out of the blue, and all of them are so amazing! She really capture our guests enjoying themselves dancing, using props from photo booth, us greeting ppl, etc. And she had amazing formal. I just had to add another note just about how amazing our pictures came out.

d sense that she knew what she was doing. She understood my vision and had some great ideas for posing and pictures. She took some great shots of us, and would often make sure that we liked the pictures, by giving us a sneak peek on her digital screen. She made sure to take every family member combination for us (which was tricky do to having a lot of parents/grandparents between the both of us). I highly recommend using her and am anxious to see the final pictures once they're complete!

as friendly, creative and incredibly flexible. Our engagement shoot photos were taken at Great Falls VA, and were fantastic. Our wedding photos were at various spots on the National Mall and we couldn't be happier with them. Heather worked really well with our reverend and later our DJ and was able to capture both posed and candid photos. We already recommended both Heather and Life Gallery Studio to another couple we know who hired them for their wedding and we would do it again to anyone who asks!

hers in the DC area. We had yet to find a wedding photographer that really "wow-ed" us. We wanted someone who looked at wedding photography with a less traditional eye (aka boring wedding photography). My husband and I both work in the entertainment industry in NYC, and we actually know many photographers. Then we found Scott! Scott's work had a certain feel and style to it, that we couldn't find elsewhere. He was so amazing to work with for both the engagement photos in Georgetown, DC and the wedding photos Bethesda, MD. He was so creative and artistic. We loved our photos, and even turned one of them into a thank you postcard, which everyone has complimented us on. He definitely has a very unique style, and super nice personality. Finally, one of my favorite things: how much he was really enjoying his time photographing our wedding. Seriously, so many people noticed his energy, and how much he enjoyed creating our beautiful wedding images.

ment shoot over some of the other things they offered. They worked with us and what we wanted! Took many, many photos throughout the day, and Rhonda's expertise proved to be a huge asset the day of. The weather didn't cooperate, so she had some great back up ideas. And the pictures she took were amazing! By far the best price we could find for a professional photographer.

(sp) had the documentary experience we wanted, capturing photos from the side. Great group of folks to work with.

one better, she took pics of my accesories on a red printed couch so you couldnt see them, didnt crop any of the pictures she took (there is a mcdonalds cup in all the photos of me putting on my dress), she took what looks like a mug shot of my 8 year old nephew when i asked her to get him in pics, she didnt adjust anyone during the photos or even make sure people were looking, she cut off Jesus' head during the altar photos, and didnt take one picture of me with my dress unbustled or any of my husband and I looking at the camera. She took every picture extremely up close at the worst angles or extremely far away that you cant see faces. The venue we used was amazing and she didnt do anything with it, she chose the worst background for all the photos, like a white wall for me putting on my dress. At one point she was gone, taking family pictures of one of the bridesmaids with her family instead of shooting me with my bridesmaids. She was awful and had a bad attitude. IF you use them, make sure you meet the photographer they give you in advance or at least talk to them, give them very very specific dos and donts and hope you dont get the same girl I got.

who is getting married next year. The photographs were the most important thing for me, but we didn't want to break the bank. We got million dollar photos without a million dollar price tag. Scott is great to work with. He will make sure to match you with a photographer that fits your style. And he is easily accessible and answers all your questions. I can't thank Life Gallery Studio enough for the icing on the cake for the perfect day. I am so glad I found them!!

future kids. So they could have great memories of they childhood. I highly recommend Scott.

he arrived promptly and was very patient, kind, and generous in her efforts to make the day progress smoothly. She shared gentle suggestions on how to make pictures better (e.g. smooth out that hair, adjust the strap on your dress, take the cell phone out of your shirt). She interacted quite successfully with the children in the bridal party and got some good photos!! She helped all the guys figure out how to get their boutonnieres on and was flexible when things didn't go exactly according to plan. Our pictures are beautiful and have captured all the great moments of our day. Thank you Rhonda!

ments before the ceremony as guests arrived and mingled and also of the beautiful flowers. We especially love the black and white photos!  Mike was easy to work with, had great ideas and listened to our ideas as well. He really got to know both of us.  Life Gallery was also affordable, which is safe to say is rare with wedding vendors. I can't wait to see our beautiful wedding album.

skeptical, but will keep up my fair review and add an extra star to the value because we did get some good photos at a decent price. The manager did try to fix our bad experiences, so we added a star to the review purely for that consideration. The Bad: I remember specifically asking Scott when we met if the photographers went to scout out photo locations at the venue before the day of the wedding and the answer was yes, of course. I asked Rhonda (our photographer) during our conversation on the phone if she was planning on checking out the Great Room and the surrounding area the day before and she said that she would google it. I let her know that I myself have googled previous weddings at that location and not too much is out there on the internet, so I was quite displeased that she would not be going beforehand. I also let her know that the area could be very confusing and that it would be best to at least look at the online map of the mill so she doesn't get lost. She was supposed to get there half an hour before our first look to scout out locations, but she got lost. As I was on my way to the Great Room the day of our wedding, Rhonda called me, panicked, because she was lost and no one could give her good directions. I really did not appreciate a panicked phone call 20 minutes before doing our first look - I did advise her to look at a map beforehand. She called my husband a "ding-dong." Neither my husband nor myself were amused that a hired professional called a client names. It was not appropriate. Despite this, we figured that as long as the photos turned out well, all would be fine. Unfortunately, we were very displeased with the photos. People have objects sticking out of their heads in group photos and it was difficult to find a photo where everyone looked decent at least. One of the most frustrating aspects of the photographs (especially in our portraits and ceremony pictures) is that in almost all of her photos, she has a slight upward angle which gives most people a double chin, a view up their nostrils, or is very unflattering to their figures. I'm not really sure why she choose this angle as her primary angle, as it tends to be universally unflattering. The Good: We did get some good photos that we are happy with, but so many are, quite frankly, amateurish. I know that Life Gallery Studio has fantastic photographers (based on reviews about other photographers and other wedding photos), but Rhonda was not a good fit for us. Scott was great and offered us a free portrait session to make up for our poor experience. If we do take them up on their offer, I'll review Life Gallery Studio again, hopefully with a positive review because I know that they do have talented photographers. Conclusion: I would not recommend them since they disputed an honest and fair review and asked us to take one down. If you are considering hiring them, I would suggest meeting with your photographer before hand to make sure that your personalities are not at odds. I would also suggest asking to see a complete album that your photographer has done to make sure you will be happy with more than 15% of the total end product.

their cheapest, 5 hour, package and they never once tried to upsell us. It was made clear to us what we would and would not be getting (vs their more popular 8 hour package) and we were left to make the decision. On our wedding day our photographer was excellent and unobtrusive. I hate it when at a wedding, at all the big moments, the guests see more of the photographer's rear than the bride and groom. Our photographer didn't do that, AND we got great pictures! About the only complaint I have is I don't care for the photo sharing site much. I found putting together my album to be a little difficult (but I liked that I got to put the album together myself). There's a wide array of products and the prints were beautiful.

aid out and the entire process from the photographer to the album was all housed under one roof. Scott, the owner, was always accessible and pleasant. Rhonda was my photographer and she was fantastic! Great attitude and very competent. She managed to get some great shots even though the weather was less than cooperative. Everything from the posed family photos to the candid dance floor shots were so full of life. I have yet to order my album, but I am so happy with the photos I see online. Rhonda and Life Gallery Studio definitely get my recommendation.

dditional advice to tailor your photos. They have you flip through many photos online and have you flag your faves and assign you a photographer that way which was really appreciated. Our photographer was flexible and shot every important moment without getting in the way of the celebration. Id definitely recommend them to any bride in search of a top notch photographer for the most reasonable price!

led me the most laid-back bride planning my wedding. I picked our DJ, venue, invitations, flowers, etc. without batting an eye. Nothing caused me stressed…until it came to picking a photographer. After all, after the wedding is over, the pictures are all that you have left of that special day. I was pretty stressed about it and must have spent hours upon hours wading through websites in a minor panic. I finally narrowed my photographer vendors down to 3 choices. PROFESSIONAL and ETHICAL: Scott at Life Gallery was my first meeting. After the meeting, I got back to my office and realized that there was no need to keep my other appointments. Yes, that’s right, he offered to meet me at a place close to my office so I didn't have to take off more than a lunch break. Scott explained to me their services and it seemed as he had EVERYTHING covered. They were a small enough company that you didn't feel taken advantage of, but were still a company, so you didn't have to worry about just hiring ONE photographer to do everything (set up, logistics, editing etc.). They also don’t charge extra for the images OR for more than one photographing location, which almost every other place did. They even have a back-up photographer available every weekend (although hardly ever used). RESPONSIVE: After I made that easy decision, everything else got even easier. They were a delight to work with. Scott is incredibly responsive (I mean within the hour would get back to me whenever I had a question). He helps you organize everything and makes your wedding planning so easy! PICKING THE PHOTOGRAPHER: The only thing that caused me ANY concern was that they are a company that works with several photographers. This means you don’t meet the photographer beforehand or know who will be taking your picture until a couple of weeks before the wedding. However, Scott assured me that all of the photographers he works with have been with him for 5-10 years! If there were complaints from clients, there is no way that he would have these photographers for so long. They also have a really cool way of matching your style and the pictures you do like to the right photographer. So if this is a concern for you, don’t let it be. Trust me. All the photographers are WONDERFUL and they found us the perfect, and I mean perfect photographer. Heather was so laid back and fun. She seriously even helped me get ready bc my bridal party was late. She rolled with the punches bc we were really 45 min behind schedule and managed to do our photo shoot quickly and still capture good images. GETTING YOUR PHOTOS: We got our photos back, all 720 of them in TWO WEEKS! This is amazing. I hear horror stories all the time of places taking months! VALUE: you just can’t beat the value. Life Gallery Studio was thousands of dollars cheaper than other companies and other photographers that I had researched. Do yourself a favor, avoid the stress, and sign up with Life Gallery Studio to capture your special day!

in our lives. Thanks so much guy's

s and was a pleasure to work with. She captured so many candid moments and we couldn't be happier with our pictures. We received our pictures quickly and were impressed with how beautiful they turned out. The hard part was selecting our favorites for our album! We would highly recommend Life Gallery Studio. They provide a great experience for a great value.

hey have different options to choose from, like how long the photographer stays at the wedding, or how many photo books do you want, which we found very helpful. It seems like a lot of photographers only give you a "one size fits all" service, which did not work for us. The photographer was right on time at the church, so no worries there. She just did her thing and we did not have to worry about anything. One thing we had requested was to have as many pictures taken as possible of our guests, and she definitely accomplished that mission. She even got action shots of my nephew swinging my other nephew around in circles, which was pretty hilarious. Right place, right time! So we definitely recommend the Life Gallery. Another great thing is that if the photographer is sick that day, they have a back-up waiting in the wings. A lot of places did not offer that service, and we all know that illness and accidents happen.

down and helped make the time go so much smoother! She even got the guys to get dressed :) I would and do recommend Life Gallery Studio to anyone. The best service by far!

ng stages was excellent. The process of choosing a photographer was great. And our photographer Heather was polite, fun, friendly, easy-going...But most importantly, our photos were beautiful. Heather was so easy going and relaxed, she captured every moment I wanted her to, without the photos looking forced and cheesy. We will love looking back at these photos for years to come. The whole staff at Life Gallery Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks, Katie

photographers are not just there to snap some wedding photos -- they are there to document a momentous time in a person's life and that the photographs are supposed to capture and reflect the sanctity and joy of the day). In the planning stages, Scott gave us an opportunity to view and choose some photographs to help him determine what style was preferred by the Bride and Groom -- and by so doing, that determined which photographer was assigned to us from his team. Rhonda was our photographer -- she took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She was absolutely professional, responsive, punctual and fun to work with -- and she took some spectacular shots that we will treasure forever! Life Gallery Studio comes with our highest recommendation to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

er, Rhonda, did not exactly live up to what we had come to expect from our communication with Scott. Although Rhonda seemed to be putting forth a bit of effort in capturing all of the special moments during our ceremony, once we were settled in at our reception venue, Rhonda settled in as well, in the back corner behind our table (where she remained for about 2.5 of the 3 hours she was there). When she was actually taking photos, she had the most difficult time pronouncing my name (which is only four letters, by the way) and started calling me by a completely different name, even seconds after my husband corrected her. (This may seem trivial and although we laughed it off in the moment, to consistently call the bride by the wrong name shows how little she cared and how poorly focused her attention was.) 45 minutes before my husband and I were set to make our “grand exit,” Rhonda asked us if we wanted her to stick around. Given that she wasn’t doing much anyway and it seemed that she did not want to be there, we told her that she could leave. We were concerned that Rhonda did not take enough photos of our guests (we only had around 40 people in attendance, so we had hoped to have a few nice photos of everyone); however, we decided to give her the benefit of the doubt and wait to see the photos instead of going directly to Scott with our complaints. Once we had a look at the photos, not only did we find that there were hardly any pictures of our guests from our reception, but that a large amount of the pictures had people’s faces cut off or hidden by objects. We took our complaints to Scott and instead of receiving an apology, which was all we were looking for, Scott had an argument in favor of Rhonda for almost every issue we brought up, and those issues he did not have an argument for, he ignored completely. He even went as far as to blame the small size and layout of our wedding for the poor quality of the photos. As for remembering our names, he called my husband by the wrong name (Jason instead of Justin) in his response email to our complaints and made no apologies when I corrected him. As I understand from other reviews, people have had great experiences with the photographers of Life Gallery Studio, including Rhonda. Our experience may have been an outlier. However, the way in we were treated by both Rhonda and Scott shows the complete disregard they had for how we felt. If proper service is important to you, it may be best to look elsewhere.

think they're a little pricey, but honestly they were the most affordable photographer we could find. They offer different packages to suit your needs (album, hours, etc.) They were great to work with!

(-: Most of all our photos turned out GREAT!!!

ich was one of our better decisions as an engaged couple. Scott was so personable and accommodating. He met us on a Saturday afternoon when his studio wasn't even open for business. He did an incredible job of reaching out to us to ensure we were happy. I believe Scott has 4-5 photographers in his studio. My fiance and I had to go through a number of photos, which allowed Scott to pin point the appropriate photographer for our style. We ended up with Ronda, who was incredibly sweet and gifted. She did our engagement photos, which came out absolutely lovely. I forewarned her that I was incredibly uncomfortable taking pictures (which proved obvious the first few minutes/photos), but she did an amazing job of making me feel more comfortable. Additionally, Ronda remained a calming source at the wedding when my parents arrived at the wedding extremely late. She had everything under control and had a Plan B ready to go. We received the proofs from our wedding just a few days ago and they look great. Unfortunately, we ended up getting married at night and outside (which was lovely), but you can see the reflection from some of the camera lights in a few of the photos. I hope they won't be so noticeable once we receive the final copies of the photos. Even if we can still see them, they are not distracting and are only on a few pics. She still did an amazing job, has a great eye, and enormous talent.

A couple of days before the wedding, our photographer called me and introduced herself and just wanted to clarify when she should arrive and if I had any questions. I felt very involved in the entire process! The day of the wedding, our photographer was very efficient, professional, and was the only person who wasn't freaking out! She also had lots of great ideas for fun wedding group shots that we tried out. The photos that came out later were simply beautiful and I am very pleased with the results. I would definitely use Life Gallery Studios again if I had the chance!
