Ronald and Debbie are amazing people and photographers! I am so glad I picked them for my wedding. They arrived before me and made sure me and my husband were comfortable throughout the wedding. While I was getting my makeup done, I called my father in law and found out that he is running behind and my in laws have my wedding dress. I was in tears but Ronald showed up and started cracking his jokes and made sure I relaxed and had a real smile! After the wedding, they went above and beyond and took extra pictures at other locations at midnight. In summary, they went above and beyond throughout the whole wedding and Ronald and Debbie are a cute and funny couple!

Ronald and his wife were great. The price is reasonable for eight hours of coverage! Debbie was a great assistant to Ron, and tried her hardest to keep everyone and everything on track. They bicker a lot, which looks unprofessional, but they captured the shots and that's all i really cared about. About three weeks after the wedding, we picked up a USB drive with all of our pictures and the rights to print them ourselves. The pics are beautiful.

My son and Daughter In-Law where married in April. Ronald and his studio staff did a fantastic job. During a Wedding there's so much to do and you forget about what type of pictures you need to have taken. Ronald and his staff didn't miss a beat, there where over 500 pictures taken and ALL of them where fabulous, along with easy access to them online and at affordable prices made this company my favorite. I'm the Mother of the Groom and I can't help but to give Ronald and his staff 5 stars!!!! Thanks a bunch

These guys are fantastic!! I was extremely impressed with their professionalism and expertise. Ron and his wife make a great team. They listened to what I wanted and they came through on everything. They both have a great sense of humor which kept me smiling all day long. I was happy with the wide range of poses and lighting in my pictures as well. I just got my photo album in today and it came out perfect!! They made our special day memorable for a lifetime. I would recommend Ron to everyone and I made the best decision in choosing him :) I read some of the negative comments on here and I couldn't disagree more. Take them with a grain of salt.

I chose to go with this photographer because the prices were good. What I didn't know was that unless you are photogenic it cost extra to have your photos edited. Half my shots made me look fat, I know I'm not the skinniest of people but there are things that can be done so you do not have a chunk of fat hanging on the side of your photo. But as mentioned that cost extra. I could possibly deal with that, however the photographer's assistant is his wife, she seems all nice when you meet her for selection and payments. However, when she called my matron of honor a "thing" and yelled at her because she has cerebral palsy and could not stand in line or move on her own, it is very unprofessional. Additionally, my father-in-law had to talk to the photographer to get her to quit yelling at my guests. If you do decide to hire them you are expected to include them in your seating arrangements or they will leave for an hour. On top of that during the dancing they were CONSTANTLY sitting down talking to each other. Give them a list of photos to take otherwise you wont get them. I had a personalized cake with four different sides, my photographer only took photos of two of the sides. My photo book turned out alright. But my overall experience made me cry. I felt like they were more concerned with how they wanted things done than how I would want them done. They were rude, unhelpful, and I would not suggest calling them. I wish I would have spent more money on a photographer that knew what they were doing and could be professional about it.

My husband and I used Ron and Debbie as our wedding photographers and they were awesome! The variety of pictures and the quality were more than I could ask for. Another great thing is they offer unlimited time which was a must for me! They have great personalities and really had a great time w/ all the guests and bridal party! I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer - the awesome thing is they travel! If you are looking for a photographer, you will not go wrong w/ Ronald Ponkey Photography!

We met with several photographers and Ronald Ponkey Photography was definitely the most affordable. They offered an excellent package for the price and they were very easy to work with. The pictures came out wonderful!

Very professional, knew what shots we wanted and did not waste our time with those we didn't. Assistant was at times a bit bossy, but it made sure we got everything done in time

The pictures that Ron took all turned out amazing. His prices are great, you get him for the whole day, and you get a CD with all your pics on it. My advice if you choose his studio - make a list of all your must have pics, even the ones you think are standard, to ensure that you get the shots you want. He missed out on some shots for my wedding, that I thought would have been standard shots. You won't remember during the day - but you will look back and remember.

Great packages and low prices. Still use real film and digital for the reception. On-time (2) photographers all day for one low price fun and humerous. Photographed all of the right pictures. I have so many to pick from that are beautiful it is going to be hard to pick what I want in my album. 100% recommend;Remind them to turn off their cell phones. One went off during my ceremony. Althought it would seem as though everything might be ruined thereafter it was a icebreaker and my husband and I just laughed and were a lot less tense and nervous the remainder of the ceremony.

He discounted his price for Friday's and also if you or your fiance was a member of the police or fire dept. They use two cameras for the reception - one behind the altar and one at the end of the aisle to get two perspectives on the ceremony.;They say they will do all these neat pictures that they say is their trademark but in the end we had to ask for them to be taken during the wedding/reception.

I did not LOVE anything.;He made several mistakes with the pictures were ordered. He never apologized; rather, he tried to put the blame on us, claiming I changed my mind from the original pictures I wanted. I was very dissatsified with On Call Photography.
