The Bliss family was amazing, my husband was especially happy with how and where the pictures were taken for the groomsmen. Henry and Pam were with us every step of the way from th...
e hotel to the church and the reception. I can honestly say they are the best hands down. Oh and they took are engagement pictures as well that everyone loved and we used them on our save the dates.
Our wedding photos are AMAZING! MOB was sure to capture the most intimate moments, beautiful family portraits, and great shots of our friends and family.
Henry, Pam, and the entire Memories of Bliss team went above and beyond our expectations. As a couple who values photographs and the memories they hold we were very picky when it ...
came to choosing our wedding photographer but from the very beginning we knew that Henry and Pam’s attention to detail, professionalism, and quality work would leave us with beautiful photographs and cherished memories. The engagement photoshoot that came with the package we selected really helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera, get to know them, and the photographs we received from that shoot made us feel even more confident in going with Henry and Pam.
On the wedding day their team was very prompt, efficient, and knew when to take charge to organize people for those established shots. They also knew when to blend into the background to get those amazing, natural shots throughout the day. They worked with us to ensure that we got the shots we wanted and their storytelling approach to photography resulted in truly great photographs that captured the essence of the day.
Memories of Bliss is the full package and without a doubt will take care of you and your needs from beginning to end. We can definitely say that they are truly invested in their clients and products. They followed up with us throughout the whole process to ensure that we were satisfied and received a memorable experience. Shortly after the wedding day we met with them in person to view our photographs and select what type of album we wanted. They even called us when we ordered photos in the mail to make sure we were happy with them. Memories of Bliss is very reasonably priced compared to other photographers we looked at. Their approach to wedding photography and their personal investment in what they do is why we chose them to shoot our wedding and is why we will continue to use them in the future.
We highly recommend Memories of Bliss for your wedding photography needs.
Memories of Bliss (MoB) Henry and Pam were extremely professional and cooperative in planning and organizing our three separate photo ops, the wedding, family dinner and reception....
They both complement one another and are right on point. Our wedding album was so unique and beautiful. You will not be disappointed if you choose MoB because you will have a class act. They are a joy to work with.
What can I say... perfection.... money well spent....
professional, caring, detailed, great spirit
Henry and Pam made my daughter events well documented from engagement to final da...

Henry and Pam are the BEST
Me and my husband couldn't have picked a better photographer to capture the best day of our lives. Memories of Bliss Photography go above and beyond your expectations. Henry and Pa...
m made this entire experience very personable and were such a pleasure to work with. During our engagement photo session, Pam and Henry had great photo shot ideas that blew my husband and I away. They even went above and beyond and created a FABULOUS "Save the Date" idea that went perfect with our wedding theme. (Friends and Family STILL talk about it) Onto our Wedding Photos...Okay, where should I begin. Not to toot my own horn but our wedding photos are Perfection at its best! Simply beautiful. Our photos literally take you through the entire day and will make you feel as if your right back in that exact moment. This entire experience has been more than just "Okay, we're hiring another vendor", but I can honestly say we have found our "Personal Photographer" for life. If your looking for a photographer that will capture exactly what you want...Memories of Bliss Photography is it!
We have absolutely enjoyed working with Memories of Bliss Photography! Henry and Pam are a dynamic duo and together they create amazing work. They are very professional and have ...
a wonderful eye for capturing magical moments that are authentic and real. We had the pleasure of working with MOB for our engagement and wedding; honestly, everything turned out perfect! We had a destination wedding in Puerto Rico, and they were right by our side. Always professional, caring, and keeping the interest of their clients and integrity of the photography at the highest. They also have a stellar team - Tony, who also works with MOB, shot some amazing under water pictures of us. The creativity of MOB is off the charts, and no matter where we are or what's needed, they will always be our go to photographers. My husband and I continue to be impressed with how they are able to visually reflect our natural chemistry together. On top of that, their picture quality and print products are simply great. For us, it's not just about MOB as an amazing company..it's also about the amazing people that comprise it.
OMG! Henry and Pam were that extra umph that made our wedding day the best night of our lives! Through the hustle and bustle of planning and “staying on schedule” day of, things ca...
n get pretty hectic and stressful. Throughout planning, Memories of Bliss was extremely attentive, flexible, and helpful with guidance. The day of?! Let me tell you, Pam was right by our side to ensure we knew where to go and what to do at the right time. We got every picture we asked for and their attention to detail was impeccable. Rain crushed our dreams of an outdoor ceremony, but they made sure we were still able to get great shots inside and outside once the rain stopped. THEN…..we saw our pictures! (swoon, gasp, tear drop) the coloring, quality, and creative eye far surpassed our expectations and the emotion oozed off the pages. My groom and I were blown away. I recommend Memories of Bliss ten times over. BOOK them…..like, now!
Henry and his team are awesome. They work with you and don't just boss you around and that made our day so special!
Henry and his wife, Pam were simply amazing at our wedding. My husband, Evan and I love taking pictures and Henry and his team of photographers made our special day perfect. They w...
ere professional, on time, and had many creative ideas to emphasize the beauty in all of our pictures. Our guests were stunned at the gorgeous slide show that Henry put together and showed during our reception. I would recommend this power couple to shoot any couples looking for superior artwork customized with exceptional special effects for their wedding day, engagement shoot, or any other special event to make memorable. You all did a phenomenal job and I can see why your business is continuing to strive!! Thank you so much Henry and Pam from the bottom of my heart!!
Please do yourself a favor and call Memories of Bliss Photography for your event! Mr. And Mrs. Spencer were a pleasure to work with. I used them for our engagement and wedding phot...
os, and our friends are still talking about how beautiful they are. I love Mr. Spencer's creativity and his vision, and our photos came out better than what I hoped for. They are very professional, accommodating, and understanding of what we needed. Even when plans changed for our wedding and we had to change venues, they were on time and ready to go. My mind was really at ease with their services. I have already referred several friends to them, and will continue to use them in the future. Thank you Mr. And Mrs. Spencer, you are a blessing!
What words can I use to describe Henry and his Memories of Bliss (MOB) Team......Attentive, Outstanding, On Point, Amazing, Beyond Expectation!
The Memories of Bliss Photography ...
team were our photographers at our August 2015 wedding. We had conversations with Henry prior to our wedding. He wanted to know our picture style, what style we liked, how we wanted our pictures to look. Honestly, in retrospect we had some general ideas and we really didn't know specifics. The day of our wedding Henry's team came to my bridal suite and began taking photos. Throughout the night, we never really saw Henry, except during the planned family photos and at the end of the night for a few staged shots. At our picture reveal, Henry brought myself and my husband to tears as we watched the story of our wedding come to life. There were pictures of us that we never knew he had taken. Henry was all over the place and he had taken pictures of our families and friends, that without MOB, we would have never seen. Furthermore there were artistic details that were added to make pictures pop. These pictures were able to tell our story. He captured the excitement and joy that existed on that day. What a great job! Thank you Memories of Bliss!
Henry and Pam. These are the people behind Memories of Bliss. They are the best of the best. The moment we met to interview them, my husband and I knew we have found our photograph...
ers.
They are pleasant, pay attention to details above all, respectful and friendly. We chose them to photograph our 25th wedding anniversary; the pictures are awesome! They have taken great time to design my photo book and again it is awesome!! I have found our life time photographer!
Brides, mothers, families, ..... You need a photographer look no further, Memories of Bliss is the best. Their prices are reasonable too!
Thank you Henry and Pam for such wonderful pictures.
Henry and Pam were a joy to work with from the very beginning! Our first meeting with them went fantastically! Pam is the ultimate professional, at the same time she is personable ...
and really takes an interest in every couple/family she with whom they work. We were ready to sign the contract then and there! I went around telling everyone how pleased I was with our photographer selection!
Our engagement session back in June 2015 was simply fun time! Henry showed up on time and had great ideas to get som great shots. He's a very physical photographer and is not afraid to get down and dirty to get the shot!
Henry's performance at the wedding was awesome! Another excellent showing of professionalism and superior quality! We went to the photography showing earlier this week and were simply blown away!
I'm telling everybody I can about my photographer! And I say "my photographer" because I'm CLAIMING them! lol If you decide to become a Bliss couple, it will be the best decision you can make for your special day!
Gorgeous. Stunning. Timeless. Elegant. There are not enough words in the English language to describe the beauty of our wedding photos that Henry Spencer, and his wife, Pam, captur...
ed. Their attention to detail is a talent and cannot be learned. Anyone can take pictures - what Henry and Pam do goes much farther. They tell a story and capture all of the emotions that are in the room. They do it so seamlessly, that you are your true selves and do not even know the cameras are there. Our photos literally look like they came from a high end bridal magazine! The slideshow they did for us not only brought me to tears, but one of my coworkers and my mother in law! We cannot wait to see the wedding album they are designing. We first worked with Henry and Pam for our engagement shoot and knew we wanted to work with them for our wedding. They work very well together and make a great team. They are also very responsive and professional. When I initially reached out to Henry about our engagement shoot, he immediately responded. As a bride, with a million and one things to do, you want to work with vendors that make you and your day a priority. Henry and Pam will definitely do that. Pam is so welcoming and was a joy to work with during our special time. Anytime we have a special occasion or an event we are going to call Henry and Pam! If you are in the process of looking for a photographer, there is no need to look any further. In fact, hurry up and call Henry now before another bride and groom books your date!
My husband and I found Henry through Google. After meeting with a few other photographers, we knew that Henry and Pam were the ones we wanted to capture our engagement session and ...
wedding day. There was no comparison to the quality of their work and their superb customer service. Immediately, Pam and Henry really felt like family and took the time to help us think through poses that would flatter us and speak to our relationship. Everyone raved about how professional and polished our engagement and wedding photos were.
The best part was that we didnt even notice that they were there at the wedding (except when it came time for the First Look and Formals)! The candid photographs were so sweet. And, they captured so many other wonderful moments throughout the day. We also loved that we were able to go to their home and see the final photographs. It was a nice personal touch.
I highly recommend Memories of Bliss to help make your day so special. We'll be using them to capture other family milestones for years to come! The quality and dedication they put into their work cannot be beat!
I'm not big on posting comments, but I have to make an exception when it comes to the tremendous service I received from the Memories of Bliss staff!!! Henry, Pam and Kevin, I wan...
t to thank you for capturing my wedding day!!! The photographs are phenomenal! The slideshow is on fire!! And your professionalism after all these months leading up to the wedding has been beyond superior!!! Just know, I'll be hiring you again once the baby is on the way and will continue to recommend MoB Photography to all my family and friends!! Thanks again!
Henry and his team has allowed me to always reflect back on my special day. He listened to my laundry list of requests for the types of pictures I wanted and he executed the job be...
yond what I imagined. It was also a very cold day, and somehow the pictures of my husband didn't show that at all due to his assistant Pam who directed our angles to get the perfect shot. Memories of Bliss also created a personal app for our pictures to send to our family and friends to view the photos as well (How neat!!) I didn't even know that existed. If you are looking for a photographer that gives you a quality experience and delivers a quality product, please book Memories of Bliss Photography.
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed working with Henry and Pam. From the beginning, Henry took time to answer all of my questions, and always answered the phone whenever I would c...
all. He spent an hour on the phone with me talking about wedding themes, my husband and my personalities, and what we wanted to invoke for our wedding photos.
The day of the wedding, I didn't even notice he was there, and we had a two hour photo session! The time flew by, and Henry was able to capture image after beautiful image. He excelled at using the natural elements around our wedding site, and captured the interactions between us and our bridal party in a natural way, which is exactly what we wanted. We were able to get a USB of all our photos, and we plan on using Henry and Pam to develop our photo album as well. Their professionalism was above and beyond and they often called just as a courtesy to ask how we were doing after the wedding and to see if we needed any other services. I would absolutely recommend this highly professional photography team- the quality of the images and the work ethic really made all the difference for us, and we are so glad we chose them!
We love love love our engagement and wedding photos. They capture our personalities, our love for each other and every moment of our big day. M.o.B. had all the right shots from al...
l of the right angles. You REALLY get what you pay for and that's good quality pictures and professionalism! Thanks M.o.B.!
We highly recommend Memories of Bliss Photography! We were so very impressed with the delivery of their services. Henry and his lovely Wife Pam were always professional, prompt, ...
and worked diligently to produce high quality results. Not only was their execution on site outstanding, but their delivery is second to none. We received copies of our photos to review within a few short days of our wedding and the photos were packaged so beautifully that we couldn't wait to share them with our friends and family. The presentation of our photos was flawless and brought us to tears the first time we reviewed them. We are still amazed at how Memories of Bliss was able to so beautifully capture the emotion of every special moment. Memories of Bliss will always hold a special place in our heart! Thank you Henry and Pam!
The Memories of Bliss staff were personable and professional from the very start of our interaction with them in preparation for our wedding. The photographers were very professio...
nal and worked our event in a manner that showed extreme knowledge and experience. The product produced was second to none. I would highly recommend Memories of Bliss services if you are ready to Tie the Knot.
Working with Memories of Bliss (MOB) was a pleasure! They have such a creative vision and took so many pictures of our wedding events! When we first met with members of MOB they we...
re a breath of fresh air! We had no reservations on how our photos would come out but our expectations were exceeded. Thanks to MOB for working with us while not having us spend our life savings! Book MOB for all your life events they exude trustworthiness, creativity and lasting memories!
We just wanted someone to take pictures. (So We Thought!)
We were planning a small and intimate house wedding to be held on the deck of our home. The general between the two of u...
s is “just get somebody to take pictures or use those little cameras used as favors” and get the pictures from the guests. That way we would have a lot of candid shots. Oh How Wrong!!
Little did we know that our choice in photographers would be the key to our joy in sharing our lasting memories of what turned out to be the best day of our lives together.
Henry personally met with me and my fiancé twice before the wedding to ascertain what we expected photographically for that day. Henry Spencer of Memories of Bliss took time to show us what we should expect for that day, choices in photo albums and portraits, and took the time to go over the contract intricately. We met again to view the venue (my house) and make suggestions as to where pertinent photos should be taken.
On my wedding day Henry Spencer and his team blew me out of the water with the professionalism of this company from start to finish. Tony, one of the photographers of the Bliss team, arrived two (2) hours before the ceremony as to capture the events leading up to the ceremony. He was very personable, polite, and knowledgeable.
To my pleasant surprise, just as my ceremony was to begin, Henry and his assistant Pam arrived from a wedding scheduled prior to mine. They jumped right into action taking photographs and directing the guests in certain shots. Needless to say we loved the outcome. The pictures are beautiful! The video is classy and the Memories of Bliss team made me look gorgeous!
The Memories of Bliss team, personal and professional in every way, was extremely successful in capturing every emotion filled aspect of my wedding. I would choose no other photographer. Exceptional Service! Exceptional Product!
Memories of Bliss were one of the best vendors for our wedding. They went out of their way to give us everything we wanted and more for our wedding. They were our photographers f...
or our engagement and wedding photos. We could not have asked for better service and quality photos. We originally only needed photos from our engagement shoot. But, once we met Henry and Pam and told them we were having a destination wedding in Charleston, SC, they were all in to head down south. And, my now husband and I knew that we had to complete the wedding story with them taking the photos. They worked with us regarding our wedding package and travel arrangements. They seem to really want us to have a great experience and went above and beyond to make our day special. We would definitely recommend them to future brides and grooms! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!
When my high school sweetheart and I first started looking for photographers, we had no idea what we were looking for. All we knew is that we wanted our pictures to "look nice". Wh...
en we met with Henry, he immediately gave us the comfort in knowing that this was his craft and he took it very seriously and his number one goal was to make us happy. I appreciate that Henry took the time to listen to our ideas, while putting in input of his own.
On the day of the wedding, Henry was on time (even if everyone else was not lol) and I appreciated how he interacted with my family. Any time I looked over at Henry, he had a smile on his face and you could tell he truly enjoys what he is doing and takes pride in it.
When we came back from our honeymoon and got the message that our photographs were ready, our jaws dropped to the floor! We look like movie stars. Due to our evening wedding, it was dark outside when it came time to take our "couples" photos, but you would not be able to notice it by the artistic way that Henry shoots.
I am so grateful that my wedding coordinator recommended Memories of Bliss Photography. I will definitely continue to recommend Henry for friends and family, all I need to do is show them ONE photograph and they will be sold!
Thank you again!
MOB was the 1st vendor that I booked. I went into a wedding shop and seen his work on their walls. The lady there gave me his card and said he is good.
From the 1st conversatio...
n I had with Mr. Henry he has been nothing but a wealth of knowledge. He explained things to us about a wedding that didnt even have to do with just photography. My husband, our kids and myself went to consult with Mr. Henry and Mrs. Pam in their studio and immediately fell in love with their work. The moment you walk in you get that feeling of home and just great friendly people. They asked us question about US to get to know US and our family. They spoke and laughed with our children, we talked and talked like we were extended family. They made us feel so comfortable. Funny thing is my husband told them (and everybody) about the special shoes he just had to have. Few months later Mr. Henry called and said hey we are in PA and I think I see the shoes Darron wants. Im going to send you a picture and let me know. Well of course they were the shoes and husband acted silly. Do you know Mr. Henry bought them shoes. My husband tells everyone about that. Just little things that make you happy to meet people and work with them.
Too make this long review short Mr. Henry and Mrs. Pam of MOB are just phenomenal people. They take pride in their work and to provide a great quality of shots. I have so many pictures that I do not now what to do with them. But all in all I love this people and would recommend them to anyone and of course work with them again.
We had our 25th anniversary celebration on Saturday, July 12, 2014 at the Osprey's, Belmont Bay in Woodbridge, VA. I had hoped that my niece from Atlanta would be our photographer...
. However, something came up and she was unable to attend. My husband then sent an email inquiry to Henry Spencer at Memories of Bliss (this was about 3- 4 weeks before our event..omgoodness, talk about last minute!). Henry responded to the inquiry in less than an hour and said that he would call me after work between 5/5:30. Sure enough he called and we discussed our event, fees and his availability (thankfully he had no prior commitment during the time that we needed him). Long story short, we spoke once or twice more and then the contract was sent. On the day of the event, Henry showed up an hour and a half early to get some pre-lim shots of the venue (its a waterfront location) and shots of my husband and I getting ready. Henry told us the photos would be ready for viewing in about a week, they were ready the following Wednesday! Tears of happiness and joy flowed as my husband and I viewed the photos..they were vibrantly detailed, full of life and told a wonderful love story from the beginning of the evening till the end.
Family and friends called and told us how beautiful the photos were and how they too shed tears while viewing them (grown men included :) Our experience with Mr. Spencer and Memories Of Bliss was perfection. Henry is not only excellent behind the lens of the camera, he is also excellent in his customer care & professional courtesy. Many times, the product is good, but the service leaves a lot to be desired..Henry delivered in both areas- with return phone calls, emails and a conversation the week before to insure that he knew exactly what we wanted. Our experience exceeded our expectations, even though we had a short window of time to work with. We would definitely use MoB again and have already referred them to family & friends, as we ourselves had seen Henry's work when friends used his services for their wedding 2 years ago. We spoke with Henry a few weeks after the event and told him how happy we were with the photos and his service ..if we were of the rich and famous, we probably would've mailed him another check, just because :):) When considering a photography service, look no further than Memories of Bliss!
I found Memories of Bliss (MOB) on theknot, and I am so glad that I did! :) Before finding Henry and Pam I had no idea what I would do if I could not fine an amazing photographer. ...
I knew, and also heard from many people that, it is so important to have a great photographer during the wedding planning process. MOB was honestly the third company I looked into, however it was not the last. Once I entered the MOB website it was just something that kept me coming back. I would compare Henry’s site to other competitors, however NO other company could win me over like Memories of Bliss did! After showing my then fiancé the website we chose to set up an appointment with both Henry and Pam as we loved their photography style from things we saw on their website. Each picture was just captured in such a beautiful way, from the angle to the lighting just beautiful! I was a little nervous before our first appointment (as I had obviously never signed a contract with a wedding photographer for a wedding before), and they made us feel so welcome and comfortable. We ended up using Henry for our engagement photos, (which came out AWESOME), and seven hours on the wedding day with two photographers (Henry and Kevin), and we also purchased an album, which we can’t wait to see! By the way, my now Husband stated that Kevin was great to work with as well! The entire MOB TEAM are all wonderful to work with!! :) Every experience with them was amazing. We had so much fun during all our sessions and seeing the final product was the best! On our wedding day the MOB team focus was totally on us this included a phone call a couple of days before to see how everything was going and see if we had any final questions. When other people were being distracting with small details on the wedding day, Henry was there to take charge in a professional and polite manner! Talk about luck, we ended up finding some Great people who do Fantastic work!!! Once again, we THANK YOU for all of your Great work and professionalism! :)

THE INITIAL MEETING- After a thorough search high and low for the perfect photographer to shoot my wedding I came across the company Memories of Bliss (M.O.B). Before reaching out ...
to M.O.B. directly I checked out their web site and found myself in awe of the site's layout initially, then the background music, and lastly I was blown away by all of the great photographs. The site sold me before I even had a conversation with anyone. After viewing the site I knew this was the company for me. So, I reached out to Henry Spencer (the owner of the company and lead photographer) and immediately felt like I was talking to an old friend and decided to make an appointment for me and my fiancé to meet with Henry and his business partner Pam. Henry and Pam believe in getting to know each couple to go over their vision for their wedding and to allow you the opportunity to get to know them and what their company has to offer. Our initial meeting was laid back, but professional, and we were not made to feel like WE HAD TO contract with M.O.B. or that we were being pressured into anything. My fiancé and I really appreciated that which made our decision to contract with M.O.B. even easier. In between meeting with Henry and our wedding date it was discovered that Henry was already scheduled to shoot another wedding the same day as ours. Due to this unfortunate calendar error that prevented Henry from being able to shoot my wedding (to my dismay) but he left me and my fiancé in the capable hands of his understudy Tony. My fiancé and had a one on one meeting with Tony to get to know him and to allow him to get to know us the same way we had gotten to know Henry and Pam. We were just as pleased from a personality stand point with Tony as we were with Henry. Also, during our initial meeting with Henry and Pam we had already seen some of Tony’s work. So, we already knew from a photography standpoint that we were in capable hands. OUR WEDDING DAY- Fast forward to our wedding day… from beginning to end M.O.B. exceeded our expectations. Our photographer Tony was on time, prepared, and represented M.O.B. as if he was the lead photographer. Although Tony stepped in for the majority of our evening wedding Henry and Pam still found a way to come to my wedding (which was quite a distance from where they live might I add) after shooting all day at another wedding to take shots of me and my husband. If that’s not going above and beyond and making a great name for your brand I don’t know what is? Thank you guys for that we really appreciated it. THE PHOTOS- Our wedding photos were ready pretty quickly (about 2 weeks) and they were out of this world!! There are some photos that make me wonder, who are these people? It can’t be me and my husband. (LOL) Then there are photos that are so striking and so in the moment that they instantly take me back to one of the best days of my life. I have gotten so many compliments about the photos and everyone wants to know who shot my wedding. With pride and with a smile I tell them Memories of Bliss Photography. So, what are you waiting for? Give them a call!
Memories of bliss did a wonderful job capturing one of the most important days of our lives. Henry and Pam are professional and perfectionists. They bring out true artistry in thei...
r photography and the contrast in their photos take the viewer beyond imagination. Colors are accentuated and details are fine-tuned to encompass those everlasting memories.
My wife and I are forever indebted to Henry and Pam for their work.

Henry of Memories of Bliss Photography has been an a blessing to work with. I was extremely stressed out focusing on choosing the right photographer. Henry stood out from the rest!...
The first thing he wanted to do was meet for coffee with my husband and I so he could get to know us and our story. Those personal touches continued even after the wedding was over. Henry worked with my budget and was very professional. He took AMAZING pictures that our friends can't stop talking about!
**Ladies, he even helped me pose so my arms would look skinnier which made for beautiful pictures! Lol**
If you are looking for a photographer who will capture blissful memories to have for years to come, Memories of Bliss Photography is for you!!
Memories of Bliss Photography provided the utmost standard of quality, service, and value to us on our wedding day. Our ideas, opinions, and overall vision were attended to from th...
e very beginning. We were most comforted by the fact that during our initial meeting, we were not being solicited to enter into a contract. We did not get the sense that we were interacting with a sales consultant, but someone who genuinely communicated a love and passion for the craft of photography. Not only was Memories of Bliss highly professional, but they offered a much needed a valued personal touch that was important to us. We were absolutely amazed by the quality of the photographs. Every moment, from start to finish, was captured perfectly. Henry had the ability to seize those moments-large and small-that will last with us for a lifetime. Most importantly Henry and Pam truly took the time to get to know us as a couple-our likes, desires, personality,etc., and translated that through the camera. Without reservation, we would recommend Memories of Bliss to any couple in search of a photographer that encompasses all the qualities of highly valued customer service and care. With Memories of Bliss, you should expect nothing less than the best!!
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Henry Spencer at the 2012 Wedding Convention in DC. After seeing Mr. Spencer photos he should've been my first choice. After hiring somebody else ...
and then trying to be slick afterwards me and my husband(now)decided to check Mr. Henry Spencer and see if he was still available. Henry Spencer was a life saver for our big day May 25, 2013. Good thing we started looking early. When we went to meet Henry Spencer we felt that this time we had made the right decision.
We met up with Henry and Pam downtown to do our engagement photos. We were so excited on how they were able to get nice and unique shots that some photographers wouldn't do. Once we got our engagement photos and show them to our parents they couldn't believe the out come and couldn't wait to see how the wedding photos would be. On the day of the wedding, Henry, Pam, and the Memories of Bliss team were on time during the whole craziness of getting prepare for the wedding. They were able to get great shots while getting ready in the middle of people being everywhere. During our wedding reception Mr. Henry was able to do a slideshow of our wedding ceremony, our guest were so surprise on how fast and amazing the pictures came out to be. Since I(the bride) was running really late Mr. Henry let us know that his time was up and if I wanted him and his team to stay a little longer. I was really grateful for him to ask us that since we were late. This is one photographer that I will recommend and also use again for occasion. Trust me when I say if you use Memories of Bliss you will not be disappointed.
Thank you Henry Spencer & Memories of Bliss team!
From,
Mr. & Mrs. Jerome & Tawatha (St. Hill) Johnson
FIVE STAR TREATMENT!!! My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Henry and the Memories of bliss team in Aug 2013. I could write all day about how impressive He and his staff...
were but I will try to keep it on the short side. SERVICE - The service piece was five star treatment. We had two meetings, the first about an hour and the second (we stopped by sort of unannounced) about thirty mins. Henry was great and very informative. He listened to our wants and needs and gave us very honest and helpful feedback on what to expect. This was a huge help because we had some interesting happenings throughout the big day. During these times they remained professional and focused as Henry gave direction and continued to deliver despite unexpected obstacles. He made us very comfortable and made the whole process easy and smooth. EXECUTION- On the wedding day the Memories of Bliss team Rocked!! They were on time and in place but were never in the way of the proceedings. They worked great with the other vendors.( videographer etc) And I received a lot of feedback on how impressed people were with them throughout the day. Also, they had awesome ideas and were very open to our ideas for photos as well. They were with us for the entire wedding and reception and seemingly caught ever special moment of the day. PICTURES- Everyone has been talking to us about how great the photos look. I was Blown Away at how great everything came out. We had seen his work ahead of time but the amount of great shots they had was just phenomenal. Also, there were a pretty good amount of photos given to us which I loooooved. I really can't say enough about the photos other than they look like they were out of a movie. We could not be happier. In closing, we were lucky enough to have found Memories of Bliss through a family member. I definitely recommend that you use them for your photography needs. I'm sure you will be more than pleased with their service.
Henry and his team were nothing short of professional and superb! They made me very comfortable during every aspect of my wedding day. My now husband and I couldn't remember a time...
where we had to make suggestions because they all knew knew our vision. The entire crew was flexible, creative, and very helpful. Not only will I recommend them to others, I will use them in the future to capture memorable moments. Thank you Henry, Pam and the rest of the crew!
Henry Spencer and his staff did a wonderful job photographing my wedding. I never had to give them a second thought during the entire event. They knew exactly what to do and too...
k lots of beautiful photographs. I definately can recommend Memories of Bliss.
Memories of Bliss provided the most beautiful pictures we could have imagined. The photos were crystal clear and everyone who has seen them all comment on their quality. When we lo...
ok at the pictures, the clarity makes us feel like we're actually right where we were on June 4th. Engagement pictures also came with the package and they looked as though they came out of a magazine. I must admit I, the bride, don't enjoy taking pictures and rarely do so, but Henry and Pam made us feel at ease and our photos reflected it. I would strongly recommend Memories of Bliss as the photographer of choice for any event. Their photos were top-notch.
We found Memories of Bliss here on The Knot and met with them (Henry and Pam) to inquire about photography for our wedding. We viewed several other websites for photography and cou...
ld see that Memories of Bliss was unique in that they really did a good job of capturing the emotion of the big day, and not just taking pictures.
Upon meeting with them, we knew we were making the right selection based on their attention to detail and their desire to capture our wedding the way we wanted it covered. We spoke with them quite a bit leading up to our wedding, and they we very accommodating and responsive to our needs.
They were very interested in communicating and hearing how we wanted our day to be captured, and on our wedding day they really came through for us and far exceeded our expectations. Henry did an excellent job of getting the angles and shots that we wanted, and offered great ideas for using our surroundings at the wedding site to enhance our pictures.
We opted for the slide show at the reception which featured pictures from earlier in the day, of the wedding and the behind the scenes preparations. Our guests were amazed at how quickly they were able to have the slideshow ready and loved the shots Henry selected.
Overall, we are extremely pleased with having selected Memories of Bliss, and have already begun recommending them to our friends and family. Thank you so much for making our special day that much more special. Your kindness and professionalism will not be forgotten!

Memories of Bliss is simply amazing. The lead photographer, Henry Spencer, has a great eye and captured every shot we requested plus more. The quality of his work is truly outstand...
ing. He always manages to capture the moment perfectly. In addition to the great work they deliver, Henry and his team gave us great personal service. They always remembered our request and stayed in contact with us throughout the entire planning process. We have used Henry for our engagment and wedding photos, and will certainly use him for our most memorable life moments in the years to come.
Henry Spencer is the utmost professional. Not only does he take fabulous wedding photographs, but you can tell that he truly cares about his clients. He kept in touch with me in th...
e months leading up to the wedding. I did not have to call or email him once because he was very proactive in reaching out to me.
He is also a very talented photographer. The pictures turned out great and he puts full effort into making sure that he gets all of the great shots. I would highly recommend him to cover any wedding or special occasion.
After interviewing a handful of photographers, My fiance and I decided to hire Henry Spencer of Memories of Bliss Photography for 2 reasons. First, we were touched by his level of...
passion and love for his craft. Viewing examples of his work and talking to him revealed that he simply loved his field and dedicated himself to every job. Second, we were pleasantly surprised that he spent time getting to know us individually and as a couple. During our complimentary engagement photo session, he used his knowledge of our personalities, his keen eye, and creativity to capture the perfect mood and accurately reflect our connection. On the day of our wedding, Henry and his staff arrived early to capture every moment of our day. Although we paid for only 1 photographer, he arrived with a total of 4 photophaghers (without extra charge) who were all extremely professional and polite. They captured every important event of the day and even broadcasted the pictures on a slide show during the reception as new photos were processed.
Our photographers were, without a doubt, the best vendors of our entire ceremony! We were blessed to have found them. Our pictures were stunning, every event important to us was captured on film, and this was all done for a very reasonable price. We had not 1 problem with this vendor and would recommend them to any and everyone! Every couple wants their wedding to be perfect and from one type A person to all others please trust me when I tell you that you will not be disappointed with Memories of Bliss Photography.
Memories of Bliss provides excellent, professional and quality service at a cost that will not break your bank!
From the first time I spoke to Henry, I knew we would be using his...
services for both our engagement and wedding photos. He is very easy to work with and flexible when it comes to scheduling. He does really care about his clients and makes every effort to provide a top knotch product by making sure you are prepared for your session. We love the fact that his goal is to capture moments that are unique to the client. These photos are not your ordinary still shots taken at a local photography studio. For example, we love to go camping, so some of our photos capture us ouside, near the water (with props such as cooler, lawn chairs, campfire, etc.), in our camping gear. There are other shots of us in a change of clothing that are less casual and capture moods of romance and laughter. We got all this and more at an awesome affordable price. Memories of Bliss is definitely the best in town! We are looking forward to working with Henry for our wedding in August!
Outstanding, Superb, Extraordinary are just a few of the many words we can use to describe the quality of service of Memories of Bliss Photography. Our pictures (engagement and we...
dding pictures) are nothing short of being masterful. We loved every moment of working with Henry and his team -- from the first interview to the final delivery of our pictures.
Our wedding pictures tell the story of our entire magical day. My husband and I were able to look at the pictures and re-live the day and also get caught up on things that we were not privy to prior to our arrival at the Chapel. The uniqueness of the pictures and the unobtrusive manner in which Henry and his team were able to capture some very special moments is not something usually seen.
Henry is a professional who works for YOU. At no point in time did we feel rushed or working against the clock, and the end result product is worth far, far more than we paid and has helped to memorialize for us, a day that will live in our minds and hearts for a lifetime.
My fiance and I did a great deal of research for our engagement session photographer before selecting Memories of Bliss Photography (MoB). In our early conversations with Henry (th...
e owner) and Tony of MoB, we found them to be extremely friendly, very informative, responsive and incredibly passionate about photography. Tony (our engagement session photographer) met us in our original location choice (Gallery Place), which my fiance and I quickly realized was not the best option for us. Tony, understanding of this, followed us to Georgetown where we were able to locate the perfect spot. Although you can tell that he has done many similar sessions, Tony treated our shoot uniquely. He was laid back throughout the shoot and made us feel very comfortable (despite the bone chilling 35 degree weather). We had a few ideas for the shoot, but for the most part, we had Tony tell us where to go and what to do. He shot us at a variety of locations (indoor and out) and angles (with different lighting) throughout the Georgetown waterfront.
Understanding that we were working on an extremely tight schedule, Henry and Tony were able to deliver our engagement pictures the next day…and they far exceeded our expectations! As pleased as we our with our engagement pictures, we can do nothing less but recommend MoB.
This photographer did my engagement photo session, engagement party and wedding. I received hundreds of pictures from each and in a very timely fashion. Less than a week! Very prof...
essional and excellent customer service. All reasonably priced and worth every penny. I loved all my pictures and so did all my guests!
The Memories of Bliss team was phenomenal! I'm so happy I trusted Henry Spencer to capture moments that I can revisit for a lifetime. His unique point of view, unparalleled profess...
ionalism and attention to detail will help me to relive the my wedding for years to come. And I know that I will feel the moment each and every time that I look at my photos because he gave them life. I am beyond pleased. SUPERIOR SERVICE!!!! I will trust every milestone in my family's life to be capture and immortalized by Memories of Bliss.
Words can not express what a wonderful experience I had with Memories of Bliss. Henry Spencer and his team took such great care of us, they treated us like royalty. They were pro...
mpt, friendly and always available to answer questions and lend support. On the day of the wedding, they were early and ready to capture each precious moment. Henry has a gift, he tells your unique story through his lens. When I recieved my pictures I cried, I was simply AMAZED. I could not believe how they were able to get certain shot of my wedding. Henry was on the ground, above us......everywhere getting amazing shot after shot. Funny thing, I did not even notice him throughout the ceremony and wondered how he was able to shoot so smoothly. Memories of Bliss is a class act, I will be hiring them for my family reunion next summer. If you are looking for beautiful pictures with a dynamite, professional team look no further.......Memories of Bliss is the perfect choice for your wedding.
My fiancé, Brian and I were introduced to Henry through his Uncle Roland shortly after we became engaged on Thanksgiving Day, 2011. We telephoned him and arranged to meet at ...
his home to discuss the details of our wedding day. Upon arriving to the meeting, at his home studio, the first photo that I saw was of a married couple on a rock, that looked like they were on some exotic island, and my exact words to him was, “I want a picture like that”! He then began to explain to Brian and me that the he worked the HenSpen magic, and placed them in the actual photo. That is when Brian said “Your Hired”. I must say that I wanted to hire him than, but I needed a little more convincing. Henry than contacted Brian and I, about two months, prior to our wedding day, of August 11, 2012, to let us know that where ever we wanted him to shoot our engagement session, he was there. I have always felt that I was not a very photogenic person, and for a photo to look good of me, well, the photographer would have to have that special touch, in other words, the HenSpen touch.
Brian and I met one another in the roller skating rink, Crystal Skate, in Temple Hills, MD, and decided that since that is where it all began, why not go back to the same place that started it all. Henry arrived on time, and prepared to take our pictures. I had so much trouble trying to find something to wear, that my fiancé, Brian, had to remind me to be comfortable and just be myself, because of course after the photo session, “YES”, and we were staying in the skating rink to get our Thursday roll in. We were a little unsure of what and how to pose, so Henry just said, “Don’t mind me, just skate like you normally do!” So that’s what we did. OMG!!! Those photos were so engaging and most of all, I was so beautiful, I told Henry” that he was the man. They were so natural and genuine, I really looked good. But that was just an appetizer for the main course, “The Wedding”. Well, being of Jamaican descent, we are no strangers to rain. So trust me when I tell you that it rained sooooo hard, the wind blew soooooo strong, that it was almost like god was talking to us, saying, “Ok, so you wanna be married, hah? Well, if you can weather this storm, I know that your union will be forever blessed, and will not waiver the future storms that lay ahead”! And, it rained, and it rained, and the wind blew, and it rained, and it rained…But yet once again, Henry worked his HenSpen magic, and our wedding photos were brilliant. The pictures were so mind blowin, huh, you couldn’t even tell, that it rained buckets. The teams of photographer’s at Memories of Bliss are real people that told our story unlike no other. Brian and I laugh and cry when we look at our fun filled memories, or our story. But I had to save the best for last. Everyone, Brides and Grooms, ladies and gentlemen, the young lady telling this story is the one in the photo that looks like the Essence Magazine Cover. All I remember is the photographer saying to me, “Ok, I want you to look up to the sky and make like your throwing your bouquet, and that’s what I did!” And once again, Henry worked his HenSpen magic, and there you have it. That photo of me, on the most beautiful day of my life was as real as it looks, the sky was so beautiful and peaceful, besides the birth of our son, Lenoxx, made and makes me feel like a princess,” The pic is the bomdiggity!” So you decide…
My wife and I were extremely pleased with Henry Spencer's Memories of Bliss Photography. He and his team were professional, punctual, and talented. Henry provided creative ideas f...
or pictures and has an eye for stunning shots. More importantly, Henry did everything he could to accommodate us and our requests for getting certain photos. Our wedding ceremony was on October 13, 2012, and we're still receiving compliments on our "client proofs" that Henry made available to us and guests by providing a link on his website. Henry also did an outstanding job on our engagment photo shoot. If you're looking for quality customer service and a great photographer, you should hire Henry. The proof is in the pictures.
