Joe Payne Photography: what do users think?
Will & Meredith Lavasque: Joe and his assistant photographer, Brian, were both so great to work with! They made us both feel comfortable during our wedding, and we knew the photos would turn out well - which they did! Joe was very professional and knew exactly what to do as the wedding progressed throughout the evening. Some of the most candid moments were the best shots of the night. He has a great eye for capturing the special moments. We would definitely recommend him for your big day!
Kaylyn Pogson-Morowitz: Among the work of dozens of photographers I considered for my wedding, Joe's photos were the only ones that stood out to me. The photos he took of our wedding day are nothing short of magical, and I have had almost every guest reach out to say how incredible his work is. He clearly has a wealth of experience - his photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly capture the moments of our wedding that we want to treasure forever. Joe himself is a pleasure to be around, and I don't think it would have been possible to enjoy any photographer's company more. His assistant, Richard, was also delightful, and watching the two of them work together added a dimension of fun to our day that we really appreciated. I could not recommend Joe more highly for any photographic occasion, and I can say from experience that having him document my wedding is probably the best decision I made in the planning process.
Stephanie Wakeford: I'm not even sure where to begin! Joe Payne is an unparalleled talent, and the work he and Brian did to capture the essence and energy of our wedding day was BRILLIANT. He is a master of his craft, a delight to work with, and a creative genius. Our wedding day gallery is simply perfect, and it is a true gift that we'll be able to look at our photos and be transported back to one of our happiest days via Joe's lens. I want to work with him again and again! Thank you, Joe and Brian!!
Josie Jahromi: Joe has created fantastic senior portraits with each of my 3 children since 2016…truly works of art!
Jonathan Reside: Can’t believe we snagged him in a pinch. He was fantastic to work with and we couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out!
Jennie Pechka: Very responsive to inquiry for services
Grace Yunzhi Qian: We had an engagement session with Joe and the photos are absolutely stunning! The composition and lighting are expertly executed, and Joe is super easygoing to work with. 100% recommend!
Tera Thompson: I am speechless! From the start, Joe made a point to connect with me and my husband, to learn about us as individuals and us as a couple and our view for our wedding! He took time out of his busy schedule to chat over the phone and to meet in person to ensure our weekend went beautifully! His eye for detail is unlike any other! The way he is able to capture the raw emotion gives you more than a collection of photos, it gives you the story, bringing all these moments to life! I am so thankful to have worked with Joe and his team!
karina: One of the best decisions we made for our wedding was having Joe as our photographer! He kept the energy high and had us and our guests smiling the whole time. No matter how hectic the day felt, Joe was incredibly flexible and easy going. Second shooter James was also amazing to work with. His pictures are truly art and we are so grateful for the memories he captured. Cannot recommend him enough!!
Marisa Levings Cruz: Joe was a pleasure to work with and he did such an awesome drop directing everyone the day of the wedding. I am obsessed with all of my wedding photos!! Everything was fantastic!
Luisa Vera: Joe is by far the best photographer! If you are thinking of a wedding photographer you will not regret choosing Joe. I had my wedding at the Duke Gardens and my first look at the Duke Chapel and the photos are absolutely stunning. If you are looking for a sign to pick Joe Payne this is it!
Rhett Detweiler: Shooting with Joe is an incredible experience. My wife and I hired Joe for our wedding and the results from his work left us speechless. He thoughtfully captured every moment which has allowed us to relive the best pieces of our big day over and over again. His photography is world class, and he is a joy to work with. His positive attitude and natural charisma allowed my wife and I to totally and naturally enjoy ourselves and it shows in our wedding photos. Without a doubt, a 10/10 experience. Thank you Joe!!
Jessy Holliday: We couldn't be happier that we chose Joe and his team to do our engagement and wedding photography! Joe was so easy to work with, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and was super flexible when timelines started running behind schedule on our wedding day. His work is phenomenal and he is a true artist! We are so thrilled with how our photos turned out and could not recommend him more!
Brooke Baker: Would highly recommend Joe. His work speaks for itself but he was also so pleasant to work with. We adore our photos and are so glad we hired him.
Jessica Baez: If I could give Joe 10 stars, I would. Joe took photos of our daughter's Quinceañera celebration, and they are absolutely stunning! We had such a good time capturing this moment that even the kids have fun (and parents everywhere know how difficult that can be). He really captured our individual personalities and made us shine. Thank you so much, Joe, for being so amazing at what you do... we will see you again in a few years for our other daughter!
Andrew Gruber: You simply cannot find a more talented photographer. Joe captures every moment perfectly. The photo shoot experience, the communication, and the final photographs were all exceptional. I will never use another photographer for anything and I have 5 girls to marry off in the next 15 years. Rest your legs Joe! Thanks for everything!
Lauren Connell: Joe did our bridal portraits and we LOVE them! He’s creative, and engaging. They look like magazine photos! We really wish we would have been able to take him to Spain for our actual wedding. He is also very fun and incredibly knowledgeable. Thank you, Joe. We can’t wait to find an excuse to hire you again! Lauren & Ashlee
kyle maher: We had Joe and his team for our wedding in Pinehurst NC in July 2022 and it was the easiest and best decision. We looked through a few different photographers and once we saw Joe's work we did not even have to think. I loved how Joe really wanted to know what our wants and styles were but also very open about his style and making sure he was the right fit for us. On the day I really felt like he had my back with me being stressed (I'm the bride). He could tell I was stressed but kept reassuring me which was so helpful because everyone and everything moves so fast on the day. I know too that the stress would not turn out great in the pictures so again I appreciated him caring about his work but also the pictures we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Joe was the exact style we wanted and needed, his work captured the beauty, colors, and most importantly the emotions of the day. He and his assistant are great people and really improved the whole day and process. Such an amazing talent and person. Thank you Joe and Dajuan!
Thiri Lin: Joe did our engagement and wedding photos and both exceeded my expectations. Joe has an impressive vision for images and always surprised me when I see the final results. He used many different cameras and even film for some. I had nothing to worry about for my wedding day pics and it was a great stress reducer to have someone super competent. Joe works really hard too for his clients which is apparent when you see him work. We are very happy with our pics and will be booking more for future occasions!!! Thank you Joe.
Kayla Brown: Joe's quality of work and attention to detail makes you feel like you are living in the moment all over again. He captures every emotion by bringing out each individual's personality so perfectly! I could not ask for a better photographer on our special day. We will definitely seek him out again in the future!
Bella Wang: Enjoy every second of shooting our engagement photos with Joe! The BEST in the area!

Images by Amber Robinson: what do users think?
Lily & Vine Photo Co.: I had hired Amber a while ago for business mentoring to help me get organized and understand the back end of growing a business. While she is so sweet, incredibly knowledgeable, and up-to-date on all of the new technologies and platforms, my experience with Amber was a bit disorganized and not entirely what was expected based on what was advertised to me and what we discussed the mentorship to be like. After contacting Amber, she was able to resolve our issue and provide a refund for the services that were not rendered.
Douglas Williams: Overall, Amber is a pleasure to work with. I learned about her from a family referral. I recently left the military after 11 years so I needed headshots and full body photos for LinkedIn, Biographies, Social Media Accounts, etc. Within minutes of contacting her she responded and had me scheduled within the next few days. The location was great, the instructions and feedback during the session were appreciated and the photos turned out wonderful.
Kirsten Overdahl: I can't recommend Amber enough! I was seeking some professional photos that went beyond a stock headshot - something that would capture a bit of personality as well as professonalism - and Amber took my ideas and crafted them into a perfect plan to get some great shots. I'm SO excited about the photos!! Just as importantly, in addition to her talent and artistry, I really appreciated all of Amber's COVID-19 safety measures. We were able to take all of the photos at quite a distance, and Amber was masked the whole time (as was I except for when we were actually snapping photos). Amber also deliberately picked a location that was otherwise empty and very spacious and airy; she also had me bring all of my own props (laptop and books) so that we never actually had any contact. I was overall beyond pleased with my experience, both because the photos are stunning and because I felt very safe!!
The Beauty Bar Inc. Raleigh, NC: Amber was hired by my company to provide marketing and branding services a few months ago. She came highly recommended by a close friend, I was very excited to work with her and see the fruits of our labor. Upon initially contacting her, she was very hard to actually speak with and pretty slow to respond to texts/call after we spoke. I, however pressed forward due to the recommendation by my friend and great things I had heard about her. After we met and got contracts signed/payment made, I never heard from Amber again. I texted, called and left multiple voicemails and NEVER heard back from her. This is AFTER I paid for her services that I DID NOT receive. Please save yourselves time and money, DO NOT book with her for services as you will be SCAMMED. Unfortunately, I have lost $530. So take my loss as a lesson.
Kia Fenty: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAmber was great to work with and took amazing holiday pictures for our family! We LOVE them! We will definitely be using Amber moving forward for family sessions.
Anna Crollman: Positive:Professionalism,QualityAmber was amazing to work with. She is SOOO talented, quick to shoot and her edits are gorgeous. Highly recommend her!
Reesey Collier: Amber is simply Amazing! Scheduling our mini session with her was a simple process and one of the best decisions we have made. Amber made our daughter feel welcomed by taking the time to connect with her and getting to know her a little prior to our photos and her level of patience with our daughter was impressive : ) She went with the flow and gave direction when needed. Our photos exceeded our expectations and we also received our gallery ahead of schedule! Thankful for the opportunity to work with Amber and we will be using her again as she was professional, responsive, and easy to work with : )
Anita Pagano: Positive:Professionalism,Quality
Leslie is SobeSavvy Heigh: My husband,myself and our daughter had the pleasure of having our "PorchTraits" taken by Amber Robinson. We are DIYers when it comes to taking photos of us as a family of 3 but it was so nice to have professional pictures taken by Amber. During these COVID times,, I especially liked that she was able to offer her services while social distancing. She was prompt, gave great direction when needed and truly captured my #HeighPartyof3. I would definitely recommend her for any occasion big or small or any family big or small. Thanks again Amber!
Courtnei McWilliams: Positive:Quality,Value
Aisha Cotton: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessAmber was a joy to work with on my very first shoot for Cup of Tea Events. She was responsive, professional, and had a great personality that made it easy to smile and pose. She was a fun person to be around and we look forward to booking her services for many events in the future!
H Berry: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAmber is wonderful to work with. So friendly. Great ideas. Excellent eye for details. She captures the most natural version of you adding a subtle softness to capture emotions. I couldn’t be happier with my mini session and look forward to working with her again soon!
Deshawn & Brittney Brady: By far the best family photographer! She works great with kids & that is really important! Great at directing the flow and is really personable!! I hope to work with her in the future as our family grows.
marla cromartie: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueGood is an understatement Amber provided excellent service. She was very attentive on time and my kids responded really well to her. She also took the time to pose us to be sure that we look the best for each picture. I really appreciate her services and definitely will use her over and over again
Elan House: Amber is amazing! After a few months of crazy schedules and the pandemic, we were able to connect for my floral branding shoot. When I arrived on-site at The BalloonZ Shop, I knew it would be a great time. Amber has a vibrant personality that shines through and puts you at ease. I love how she pays attention to all the details related to your photography session.I’m far from camera-shy, but often I get caught up in posing and forget to smile. However, Amber was able to get bursts of laughter and huge smiles out of me during the shoot. We honestly had a great time, and I will continue to work with her. Outside of that, I received my pics in a timely fashion and was blown away by the images.
Kim Brown: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAmber took our family pictures recently. She made the session fun and quick while making us all feel so comfortable. Even for the teenagers that don't like getting their pictures taken. The final pictures were so beautifully done. She is professional, likeable, fun and we will use her for pictures again and again.
Megan George Cain: CAPTURES ALL THE SPECIAL LITTLE MOMENTS — Amber photographed my newborn, husband and myself as a part of her ‘Porch Sessions’ and with each photo, she captured a special moment between our little family.She made everyone feel so comfortable with her smile and infectiously positive personality! Each image she took is frame worthy!I can’t wait to have her photograph us again!
Rachel Braswell: I chose Images by Amber after searching for a Raleigh photographer that had a diverse catalogue of images. Not just babies and weddings, but people from all walks of life. She took photos of my 95 and 89 year old grandparents and treated them with so much love and respect. Amber was nothing but caring and professional. We love each image and they will be treasured forever. Thanks, Amber!
melissa graham: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAmber was an absolute ray of sunshine on our cloudy porch session. She was so funny, kind, professional and easy to work with...she was even able to catch my grumpy one year old smiling. Do yourself a favor and book a session with her stat!!!
Becky Thornton: Amber was amazing. From her website and social media that led me to her, to the ease of scheduling to the professionalism and kindness during the shoot. Finally, the quality of the photographs. Amber helped us celebrate and memorialize our baby's first birthday with some beautiful family pictures. She handled our 3 year old and 1 year old with ease, and made the impossible possible by capturing some amazing images. Would highly recommend Amber. We will be back!!
Kelly Yannessa: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueAmber is always so fun to work with and the pictures turn out great!! We’ve worked with her several times and I’m always so happy with the final product. She has great techniques for getting the kids to smile. Also love her editing. 100% recommend her!

Richard Barlow Photography: what do users think?
Laura Thatcher: Having a boudoir photo session with Richard was such a delight and brought the excitement back into planning for me after a year of pandemic wedding planning had worn me down. Richard was a great communicator and very organized and reliable. We shot the images in Richard's downtown Raleigh studio which was so professional, convenient, and provided gorgeous natural light for the images. I was slightly nervous going into the process, not knowing what to expect, but I had so much fun and Richard was so encouraging, sweet, and super professional, making the shoot loads of fun and put me at ease to pose naturally to get some great photos. I absolutely love how the images turned out and can't wait to gift them to my fiance during our honeymoon. I can't recommend Richard enough for unique and high-quality boudoir photography.
Todd Korogi: Richard has a great eye for what is going to look good and obviously knows what he's doing.
Molly Ahrens: Richard is an amazing photographer! I work for a national commercial real estate company and have dealt with photographers all over the country, Richard being one of the best. He was very responsive and flexible in working around a few construction delays we encountered. The entire process was so easy- I simply gave him a shot list and he delivered amazing, high quality images. I look forward to working with Richard on other projects!
George Hining: Really a great firm to work with all around.
Maggie Evers: Richard Barlow is a true gem. I discovered him on WeddingWire.com in 2015. Since beautifully capturing our engagement in 2015 and wedding in 2016, Richard has photographed our growing family every year. He has photographed my husband for professional headshots for his business as well. Richard is a delight to work with. He is always punctual and professional. He is laid back and relaxed and easy to communicate with. His style is impeccable and classic. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Esther Choi: Positive:Professionalism,ResponsivenessRichard has been helping our company with our branding photography, and virtual walk-through. His responsiveness and flexibility makes him SO awesome to work with, and his skills are amazing!! Definitely recommend if you're considering a photographer for all professional and personal needs.
Anna Long: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueRichard does phenomenal work for our commercial projects! We never have to worry about who to hire for a shoot because Richard will always do a great job.
Jennifer Pinder: Richard is the absolute best around!! I run a Media company and we use him exclusively for all of our headshots and professional work. He is a master of his craft and we are so thankful for him!
April Dudash: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,ResponsivenessRichard is a joy to work with. He is very responsive and efficient with projects, and brings great creative ideas to the table. I appreciate him so much!
Kari Leonard: Richard is a pleasure to work with! He is professional, organized and flexible. His work is beautiful and you can definitely see his passion for capturing the image/vision you want - Lavish Designs LLC
Shaina Reagan: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueRichard is amazing. He is always extremely flexible to meet our schedule and deadlines. We always recommend Richard to any clients looking for high quality photos whether that be headshots, commercial, etc.
Camara Jackson: It was a dream of mine for a long time to work with Richard. I had been watching his work and considered myself a fan, I follow a lot of photographers and Richard by far was the best. Finally I got the nerve to talk to him about a brand shoot for my Interior Design company and to say he produced some of the must exquisite photographs I’ve ever seen is an understatement. Richard put me as ease and made what would normally be a stressful situation completely enjoyable. I love love Richard Barlow.
Ginny Moorehead: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueI have used Richard for personal and professional photos. He's creative, flexible, and responsive. He always exceeds my high expectations.
Kathleen Louis: I worked with Richard Barlow for several projects with Downtown Raleigh Alliance and would highly recommend! Richard was referred to us by another downtown organization. We were impressed with Richard's professionalism, responsiveness and ability to capture the feeling and atmosphere of downtown with minimal direction. The variety in the photos allows us to use them in different ways, as well. One project in particular was challenging - capturing light installations behind glass at night. Richard did an incredible job with a fast turnaround - we used those for our marketing to convey the event in a deeper and more impactful way. We look forward to working with Richard for more projects!
Beth Green: Richard and I worked together on a professional photoshoot that included 96 individual photo sessions and 4 Group sessions. He was extremely organized, sourced professional make-up artists and an assistant each day of the shoot, suggested the beautiful venue based on our aesthetic, assisted in creating a photoshoot style guide for the team and made the entire process stress-free and fun. We've received so many positive responses from the photoshoot and our team is very proud to show off their new photos. Thank you, Richard!
Jennifer Allen: Positive:Professionalism,Quality,Responsiveness,ValueRichard is such a talented photographer and always exceeds our expectations!
Cathy Campbell: We have been using Richard for corporate event photography and corporate staff headshots for years. He does great work and is always responsive to our needs. His event photography beautifully captures the occasion, even the often overlooked candid moments with colleagues. His headshots are nicely done and add beauty and interest to what has traditionally been a boring portrait shot. Definitively recommend!
Bunn DJ: Richard is an incredible photographer. Whether you need headshots, corporate work or weddings, he can do it all. I would highly recommend reaching out to him.
Albrecht McLawhorn: In my experience, finding a good photographer requires trust. Anyone who knows Richard Barlow understands that he is a caring individual first and that his ability to listen and prioritize around each client's needs sets him apart. Richard has an uncanny ability to establish trust quickly and then set about finding those beautiful yet fleeting moments that we all cherish.
Wesley Morton: Richard photographed my wedding and did an amazing job! He was super laid back and made it completely stress free and fun! He made my wife feel extremely comfortable and confident. The pictures were more than we could have imagined; they captured the day perfectly. He was super professional and connected with us to create what we envisioned. I would recommend him to anyone!
Lauren Lund: Richard is amazing and so so talented!! At first I thought I’d be nervous to be in front of a camera doing a boudoir shoot but Richard knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable and confident (plus the champagne helped a little 😉). If you are contemplating who you should hire for this occasion, your search is over because there is no question that Richard is your guy! I received some sneak peak preview photos in less than a week after the shoot and I can wait to see how the rest turned out! Honestly, I couldn’t believe it was me in some of the photos and I my friend said I looked like a Victoria’s Secret angel...so thank you for making me look and feel like a model for a day! ;)

Robert F. Filcsik Photography: what do users think?
Elinchrom Sales: Hes a cheater. First he offers low price deals and then never fulfill
Kay F: Robert is AMAZING!!!.Professional, patient, kind individual. We felt like super stars walking on the red carpet. I'm very pleased with his service and highly recommend it. Thank you so much Robert!
Rocio A. Lopez: Immaculate attention to details.He looks to meet your needs while still getting the best angles captured.
James Thomas: After all the fan fair is over, i.e. the wedding, the reception, the honeymoon, etc…… The photos and video are the main two things you will always have to cherish. I literally scoured through hundreds of websites, and read just as many online reviews. I was determined to find a photographer that had the same mindset as me. I am a perfectionist and did not want to settle for mediocrity for something so important to us.I narrowed my search down to about 5 photographers, and called them one at a time. After speaking with each of them, Robert came across as someone who sincerely loves his work. I didn’t get the same vibe from some of the other photographers, with them it seem to be strictly business. In fact one photographer wanted my fiancé’ and me to meet-up with her to do the actually photo shoot without even meeting with us, or discussing what we wanted. After I met with Robert I knew he was the right guy.We wanted to shoot in 3 different locations, to capture sights that defined both of us. My wife is a “Southern Gal” and I am a “City Boy”, so we wanted to incorporate both places in our shoot. Robert had no problem traveling and working with us to capture everything we wanted in our shoot. He was attentive, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. Okay, as for his work…………. WOW!!!!! He showed up at the first location with great energy, and was ready to shoot even after driving 3 hours to South Carolina. His assistant was wonderful as well, she was great with the lighting, and worked well with bouncing ideas off of Robert. During each shoot Robert brainstormed to create the perfect lighting, the perfect pose, and the perfect picture. Robert has the remarkable ability to capture emotion, candidness, and creativity in his photography. Robert’s post work(retouching / digital enhancing), matches his amazing photography.I’m so glad I decided to go with my first instinct and work Robert.James and Keya T.
vinutha venkatagiriyappa: Robert did a fantastic job on our pre wedding photo shoot. He is extremely professional and was easy to work with. I highly recommend him for any of your photo shoots. Thank you Robert!
Mary Jane Satre: Robert did a great job! He took a ton of pictures and he helped me pick out the best shot for my professional photo. He really wanted to make sure I was happy with my results, which I am. I really wanted to get a photo today, which he was able to do for me. He is very accommodating. Great experience all around.
Preston Cannedy: Robert is a very talented photographer and was great to work with. I received my retouched images the day after they were shot, much sooner than I expected. Extremely fast, high quality, and a professional experience. Thanks for the great work.
Vito R: Everything came out great! Very happy with results
Kim Monroe: It was quite an experience working with Robert! He was an incredible photographer. He was very professional, on time, patient and delightful! He certainly has a passion for and takes pride in his work. I will definitely use him again and will certainly recommend him ten times over. And he wastes no time publishing and editing photos. It was remarkable! He certainly made this experience for me an exciting, stress-free one.
KIM Ellen: Robert was the ultimate professional throughout the entire time from planning our wedding shoot to the execution of the most amazing photos ever. We were so pleased that while we enjoyed our wedding, Robert was working to take these beautiful photos as we barely noticed his presence. Thank you dear Robert, you are the best!
Chuck Olson: Robert did an excellent job on our daughters wedding. He is very professional and personable. I highly recommend him for any photographic need.
Mary: Robert and Erika did an amazing job photographing our wedding and also our Family Portrait. They are extremely professional, very organized, and easy to work with. They go above and beyond to capture that perfect shot!
Kevin Wright: Robert was our wedding photographer and the pictures he took were incredible. Crystal clear, great composition- they looked liked something out of a high end photography magazine. He also took all sorts of pictures of wedding details we hadn't thought of, decoration details, the inn where the wedding was held, the catered food table. I can recommend him highly and would certainly use his services again in the future !
Tim Sawicki: I got some headshots for my LinkedIn profile and for my dating profile as well. They look incredible! Robert was an absolute pleasure to work with and really went out of his way to make sure the photos were nothing but the best, and was extremely flexible. His passion, professionalism, and attention to detail were phenomenal. If you were at all like me and hesitating about price, don't. He is absolutely worth every penny. Thank you Robert!
Brandon Cherry: Very professional and the pictures were amazing!
David Trump II: Do not use this guy. I didn't get a picture with my daughter (the bride). We did not get the pictures that we requested. He is very difficult to work with.
Cybersecurity Engineering: Robert is a professional photographer, He knows all aspects of photography. He is a nice person and pays attention to what you want, professional to deal with and he really wants to do his best to make his customers happy and have them come back for more work. I graduated from Grad school and needed a professional graduation portrait and a Linkedin profile picture. He took really nice shots and asked me to pick what I like and told me what he thinks the best for me. It tool him only one day to get my pictures done and to be downloaded from his website. I was very happy with them and actually everyone was impressed with the graduation picture I posted. It was easy to communicate with him over the phone and through texting.I highly recommend Robert for you and your family pictures.
Karen LeVert: Robert did an amazing job with my headshot! I'll make sure to use him in the future for other photography needs and definitely recommend him. Thanks!
Katie Keenan: Robert is a wonderful photographer. He did my most recent headshots. He was warm and friendly, but honest, which I really appreciated as an actress looking for amazing headshots and nothing less! Thanks to Robert, I got what I was looking for :) Highly recommend!
Lesley Hewitt: Robert and Erika are AMAZING! From the moment I contacted Robert on his chat feature on his website, to prompt emails, and skype meetings, he is always there to answer my questions and address my needs. Initially, we were not going to have an engagement session or bridal portrait done...but after meeting with Robert and seeing his work, witnessing his professionalism, and feeling like we could trust him- we decided to schedule both and could not be happier with the results! He created a "Save-the-Date" postcard for me, and my family and friends thought it was an advertisement due to the high quality of the photo and design! We cannot wait for Robert and Erika to shoot our wedding. You can't go wrong with these two ;)
Nicole Wade: Robert was on time (even early) and came prepared for all sorts of great pictures! He took the most amazing pictures at our venue! As a wedding planner, I have seen a lot of photographers and their work, but Robert's pictures blew me away! If you are looking for a photographer that can take absolutely perfect outdoor pictures then choose him! The inside pictures were great too, but I have never seen such great outdoor pictures! FLAWLESS!

Kivus & Camera | Photographers: what do users think?
Ryan Shalley: You will not regret booking with Kivus & Camera and working with ​Elyssa. I vividly remember my first call with Elyssa being unique compared to any other possible ​photographers ​we​ spoke with. She asked me if I had a framed photo of my wedding on the wall, what would I want it to look like? And that really made me think, and also let me know how creative and personal her approach is. She was a breeze to work with when prepping for the wedding and was so fun the day of. We were blown away with the results of our photos, they are truly one of a kind. I could not recommend her enough!
Sarah Paramore: I literally cannot say just how amazing Elyssa has been at both of our weddings (Covid couple). When we had to delay our 2020 wedding Elyssa was incredible and helped us move our date (with no extra charge!!) which was huge given how many vendors we were dealing with.At our first, small ceremony Elyssa got through all of the family portraits SO efficiently, and they came out beautifully. She captured our first look perfectly, along with so many ceremony moments. She was also incredibly flexible and agreed to stay a couple extra hours to get a few more photographs.At our big ceremony this October she helped us do our second first look with a different vibe and I LOVE that we have both sets of photos. But my favorite part was how incredible she was at getting photos of all our friends and loved ones during the reception - there are so many candid portraits of everyone we love the most and we really will treasure these forever. I really felt like Elyssa put in effort to get many photos of the people we are closest to and that meant a lot.She's not only really good at her job but is incredibly fun, relaxed, and professional. We genuinely wouldn't have wanted anyone else!
Stephanie Milosh: Elyssa is awesome for a million reasons, and her incredible photography is just the start of the list. This woman is kind, funny, nerdy, resilient, intelligent, and overall a badass, especially when she starts working her lighting magic. Every time I work with Kivus & Camera, I always learn something new from watching this talented photographer who sees the world through a creative lens. If you love dramatic photography that tells a story and makes you go DAMN WE LOOK GOOD, Kivus & Camera is the photographer for you!
Allegra Sinclair: It has been an absolute pleasure working with Kivus and Camera over the last two years for our engagement session, intimate wedding ceremony, and postponed wedding reception. In addition to the incredibly gorgeous photographs Elyssa is able to capture in seemingly every setting, she is awesome to work with, whether it is putting you at ease during a portrait session (being photographed is typically pretty uncomfortable in my opinion) or being incredibly helpful, flexible, and calm when you're totally reworking your wedding plans (thanks COVID).I knew I wanted Elyssa to photograph our wedding when I initially saw her work at a friend's wedding. I was a bridesmaid, and I was so impressed by her skill in capturing candid moments and making us feel comfortable. She brought those same skills to our wedding and engagement session, and my husband and I are so happy with the pictures that we'll treasure forever.
Joshua Overbay: Elyssa does phenomenal work! Our wedding photography was not only visually stunning, it was deeply perceptive. Her work captured the many special, powerful, and tender moments that occurred from the beginning to the end of our crazy wedding day. In addition, she was easy to communicate with and quick to respond to our numerous questions. I highly recommend her!
Andie Morgenlander: Kivus & Camera did an INCREDIBLE job on our wedding photos. Elyssa was so much fun and helped streamline the process! She captured every important moment, and the photos are stunning. Elyssa was direct, and helped organize everyone in a kind but grounded way (which is saying something, b/c Josh and I had a large wedding party!). She also offers great deals on albums, calendars, and other ways of receiving the pictures....which we have continued to take advantage of! We have a beautiful calendar with our wedding photos hanging in our house. Our wedding truly was one of the best days of my life, and Kivus & Camera captured the energy of the day perfectly.
Katja Gravel: I've avoided photographers for years since I hate photos of myself so much that the thought of a whole photoshoot filled me with dread. I HAD SO MUCH FUN during my wedding photoshoot that those feelings didn't even matter! Elyssa did a great job of getting some stunning shots of my wife and me - as well as the view.We picked Kivus & Camera partly because of her portfolio's color and drama, and Elyssa delivered! She also came up with several backup locations just in case our original plans didn't work out and took as many Covid precautions as possible so we felt comfortable.I highly recommend both Elyssa and her second shooter (Emily from Windsor Grey Photography). They made us laugh, rolled with the punches (freezing cold weather and wind that destroyed my hair in 2.5 seconds), and sent us a few preview pics as she edited so we didn't have to wait for the whole portfolio.I was worried that I wouldn't find a great LGBT-friendly photographer, but Elyssa was fantastic, kind, and went out of her way to make sure my wife and I were comfortable.Highly recommend!
Victoria Osorno: Elyssa and John make the best team! We knew within 5 seconds of talking with Elyssa and John that we were going to ask them to photograph our wedding. When looking for a wedding photographer my husband and I felt like everyone’s photographs looked so similar, but we did not think that when looking at their photographs. Elyssa is so creative and has a true eye for photography. Her photos are so bright and vibrant. Elyssa was so organized and responsive. When it came time for the wedding day everything moved swiftly thanks to all of Elyssa’s behind the scene planning. We are so grateful to of found Elyssa and John. We couldn’t be more pleased with our stunning wedding photographs. HIGHLY recommend! :)
Casey Collins: Yes, yes, a million time YES! My husband and I hired Kivus & Camera for our wedding day photographers and they hit it out of the park. We are travelers, never in one place for more than a couple of months, but this didn't stop Elyssa & John (the Kivus duo) from accommodating all of our needs and more. Not only did they travel outside of their home territory for our day, Elyssa kept us organized with periodic emails throughout the planning process to keep us thinking about what we wanted to incorporate and making sure they were prepared to help us capture all of it. Aside from being organized, reasonably priced, highly responsive, flexible, and fantastic photographers...Elyssa and John are wonderful, gracious humans and an absolute pleasure to be around. They were able to corral my family for group portraits with a smile (not an easy feat I may add), capture the best candid shots throughout the night, and include various details that I cherish reminiscing. I could go on and on about all of the things I loved about working with Kivus & Camera, but all you really need to know is that they would be nothing but an asset to your event and they are worth every cent (+more). So many of our friends and family have said "these are the best wedding photos I have ever seen" and I can assure you that it has everything to do with Kivus & Camera and very little to do with the us! Haha.
Suzanne Libfraind: I was in need of updating my full body and head shot for my wardrobe consulting business. Elyssa was not only professional and accommodating but very talented. I was thrilled to have a gallery of well executed photos that captured my style and personality !I would recommend her highly.
Megan M: Elyssa and John are such a joy to work with! Elyssa is high energy while being incredibly well organized. They both provided tips and tricks to get my husband and I laughing and looking way less nervous in our engagement session and wedding session. Within 30 minutes they felt like part of our family. I cry tears of joy every time I look at our photos! Our family dog Gus also gives her 5 out of 5 paws!
Laura Kehres: My fiance and I scheduled a session with Elyssa for our engagement photos. Elyssa was helpful from the very beginning, providing pointers on props, style, and location. We are recent transplants to the area and didn't quite know where we wanted to go but Elyssa knew all the best spots in Chapel Hill. The photo previews already look great. The full set hasn't come through, but we couldn't wait to post a review and rave about our session. In the midst of the stress of wedding planning, this was such a refreshing break. We had an absolute BLAST and the experience made us all the more excited for the wedding and our commitment to each other. My fiance is the first person I would choose as my photoshoot partner in crime, but Elyssa is a very close second. Check out her story!The Kivus & Camera blog has some great shots trying out different filters / techniques if you're looking for representative work. I found Elyssa through a quick Google search and scrolling through the blog. No regrets
Clara Penati: We love love love all our photos! Elyssa and her team made everything so easy and fun for us. Elyssa was so responsive and knew exactly what we wanted for our photos. It was such a great combination of portraits and candids. We can't thank them enough for these amazing photos capturing our wedding in such a beautiful light- so special for us to help us remember this special day for the rest of our lives.
Liz G: Elyssa from Kivus & Camera was absolutely fabulous for our last minute elopement! My wife and I had to postpone our original wedding date due to the COVID pandemic, so we decided to go ahead and do a small local elopement, and have the big wedding celebration later on. Even though it was a very small elopement in a local park, we still wanted to capture and remember the moments of that day. And wow, Elyssa really knocked it out of the park! Not only did she capture perfect moments and gorgeous photographs, but she made us feel comfortable and at ease while doing it. We had such a fantastic time together, it seemed like we had known her for years! Elyssa went above and beyond for our little elopement. She was more than willing to travel all around the park, getting phenomenal images. She was able to catch those oh so difficult moments such as our pup Luna (who always refuses to face the camera haha), the emotion in our eyes, our random bouts of playfulness, and even the champagne popping! Thank you so much Elyssa for helping make our elopement so magical!!
Emily Izakowitz: Elyssa is a wonderful wedding photographer! I am a wedding planner in the Triangle, and I have had the pleasure of working with Elyssa and John only once, but they really stood out to me (and I do a lot of weddings!). I have added them to my recommended vendor list. My clients absolutely loved working with Elyssa. They are also so happy with the photos from their big day. Elyssa is warm, funny, and, most importantly to me as a planner, low key, engaged and professional. One thing that really stands out to me about Elyssa and her partner John is that they meaningfully interact with guests and make every effort to get creative, unique shots. Many wedding photographers take lovely afternoon portraits, but when it comes to the dance party, they check out and don't seem to know how to work with a flash. Elyssa does the exact opposite; she is a flash pro! Her work is flawless from the first bridal getting ready image to the sparkler exit at the end of the night. I look forward to working with her again.
Katy Bales: I can’t say enough good things about Elyssa and John! Working with them was the best decision we could have made. They are both so easy to be around and kept us at ease through our rainy day engagement pictures and our bright beautiful wedding day. (I also did boudoir pictures with Elyssa which turned out amazing even for an extremely non-model like myself!)Our wedding album that Elyssa put together is beautiful! The pictures capture the fun and joy of the day beautifully, and Elyssa’s use of color and creativity is second to none. We not only have pictures where my wife and I look great, but Elyssa and John went beyond all the traditional portraits. Many of our pictures stand alone as works of art in my mind. So many of our friends and family have commented on the beauty of our pictures.I would absolutely choose them again for our wedding, and I plan to use them for maternity, newborn and Christmas card shoots if I can. (And if you’re currently pondering your options... yes, you need a second photographer. And yes, you need a wedding album.) Your pictures and your memories are what you have left to remember one of the most important days in your life. You won’t be disappointed by what Elyssa and John can create for you.
Lauren Brand: Kivus & Camera is the absolute BEST! You cannot get anyone more professional, attentive, compassionate, and knowledgeable. I look back on my wedding photos often and months later, I’m still getting compliments. So many of my family and friends have pictures from our wedding hung in their house. Thank you Kivus and Camera for capturing our special day!
Sarah Colwell: Choosing Kivus & Camera for our engagement and wedding photography was by far one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. From day one, Elyssa and John were easy to communicate with. They truly listened to what we wanted out of our wedding photography and even helped us to think through timing for the day of the wedding. As someone who has never been very comfortable in the spotlight, I was shocked at how comfortable (and fun!) our engagement photo shoot was. They kept us talking and laughing so our photos look natural and really capture the emotions we had in the moment. They even got great shots of our energetic pup during the engagement shoot! During the wedding, they made sure to capture each relationship and moment we'd prioritized with them while also getting tons of candids of our guests and ourselves. Our wedding was a year and a half ago and we still can't look at our engagement or wedding pictures without breaking into huge smiles and feeling like we are reliving our special day. The photos themselves play with light and color in a gorgeous way and we have received countless compliments anytime we share them.
Lace Bullock: John & Elyssa Kivus went above and beyond to make my photos wonderful. They did engagement photos, bridal portraits, and day-of wedding photography. They are easy to work with and go with the flow. Elyssa is extremely organized and that helped take some of the stress of of me. Elyssa & John make a great team- their teamwork is seamless and they're always after the best shot! John even got my (now) husband to relax and captured great shots of the guys getting ready on our wedding day.I am in love with all of the photos they curated from our special day. Elyssa spent so much time with me after the photos were ready to make a wonderful album that I cherish! I can't recommend Kivus & Camera enough to any bride & groom looking for a wedding photographer!!
Dale Van Ollefen: I wish we could give Kivus & Camera more than five stars! We absolutely loved working with Elyssa and John for our wedding. The weather was terrible (cold and rainy), but they still managed to capture beautiful outdoor photos and the reception party pictures were fantastic. We highly recommend them!
Courtney Long: I cannot recommend Kivus & Camera enough. Elyssa and John were my favorite wedding vendors to work with because they went above and beyond the normal role of photographers. During our first meeting, Elyssa promised me she was happy to help with any planning difficulties I faced. And she really did! She helped craft the perfect timeline (both before, during, and after the ceremony) and made me feel much better about throwing the biggest party of my life. (A scary feat for an introvert!!)The pictures were truly outstanding. Our venue was unique and posed a lot of lighting challenges. Our ceremony was in a planetarium and in the dark save for one spotlight and projected stars overhead. Yet somehow, we ended up with an amazing variety of photos. Some pictures showed the whole wedding party (even though they were completely in the dark), while others showed just us and the stars. Photographer sorcery! Likewise, our reception was in an aquarium with lots of reflective surfaces. Again, every photo was beautiful and captured the joy and fun we were having. I never expected to be so happy with my photos, and months later, I still can’t stop looking at them.The best part about working with Elyssa and John, however, is their amazing personalities. They’re the kinds of people that I’d love to grab a beer and play board games with while debating Star Wars canon. I was so nervous during my bridal portraits, but Elyssa and John had me laughing and relaxed. We worked with a different photographer for our engagement pictures, and I can tell such a huge difference. Whereas those pictures look stiff and uncomfortable, everything Elyssa and John took is natural and captured the real me. It’s all because of their laid-back but organized, professional demeanor.My only regret is that, living in NYC, I can’t recommend them to more people! I’ll be looking for other chances to work with Kivus & Camera in the future.

f8 Photo Studios: what do users think?
Ashley Rodriguez: Cara and her team are simply excellent. Not only are they professional, flexible, and take AMAZING photos, they are personable and hilarious. Cara made us feel so comfortable on our wedding day and we really couldnt have hired a better photographer. I also had a bridal shoot months before our wedding and she directed me through the entire process to make sure the angles were just right! Our wedding pictures were incredible. I recommend her to anyone and everyone who is getting married in the Raleigh area. BOOK THEM!
Kacie Fore: I was in need of a headshot and F8 Photo Studios came highly recommended. Cara Grace had great options/recommendations on the location for the shoot. When we met on the day of the shoot, I felt like I’d made a new friend! What I appreciated most was the fact that she coached me through the entire shoot. The finished product came back quickly and was the exactly what I was hoping for! If you need a headshot, Cara Grace is the best! Thank you so much F8 Photo Studios!!
Rosanne Darmanin: Cara is professional, talented and fun! I am currently over the moon, as I just got back the head shots she shot last week for my business' website and PR. And did I mention fast! She cares deeply about her clients and has always been an unwavering supporter and mentor to other women owned businesses, not only in the Raleigh area, but nationwide. Wonderful experience from inquiry to shoot to quick delivery of the head shot proofs and completed gallery. I highly recommend her services!Rosanne Darmanin - Cottage Luxe Event Rentals, Raleigh NC
Julia Davis: Cara and her team truly captured our day perfectly. They were professional, prompt, and pleasant! Cara kept us laughing and made sure everything ran so smoothly. She gave us a peace of mind that was invaluable. Thank you, Cara and Lacy!
Cydney Davis-English: One of my most treasured possessions is a photo that Cara took of me with my mom, dad and Vivienne, my daughter, at her birthday party a few years ago. It was the last time my dad was healthy enough to get out and really enjoy a night on the town. We had a birthday dinner in downtown Raleigh and Cara offered to come along and help capture the night. She had grown fond of my dad after spending Thanksgiving with us one year and she knew his time was limited. The photo she took is one of the most beautiful, lively and accurate pictures of him. It captures his humor and warmth while also letting in a bit of the struggle that he was enduring as he battled cancer. Cara is more than a photographer. She is more than an artist. She is a storyteller and her work tells the story, the journey of the people in the frame.
Meg Branson: I worked with Cara for my October 2019 wedding, and she and her team were fantastic! Cara worked with me to stay within my budget and she was fun and delightful to partner with. Our photographer, Lindsay, made my husband and I feel at ease and helped us work out the jitters and stiffness in our portrait session. Lindsay kept us on track and took beautiful images of our celebration. I am thrilled with how our sneak peak photos turned out and look forward to seeing more. I live in Maine and planned a wedding in Raleigh, NC. Cara and Lindsay made it easy to plan from afar over phone and email.
Caroline Sferruzzo: f8 Photo Studios is THE best! Cara is incredibly talented. She did my engagement and wedding photos. On both days, it was insanely hot outside and somehow she managed to make everyone look amazing. She gets the job done, gets THE picture, and truly knows how to capture the moment. I would recommend her to anyone truly. We couldn't be happier with our pictures and will cherish them forever. Thank you f8!
Katie Collins: We couldn't have asked for a better photographer! Cara's partner, Adrienne, did our engagement session and wedding day (with Lacy!!) - made taking 100s of pictures FUN, we were laughing the entire time. We've loved looking through our gallery and continuously receive compliments about our incredible pictures! Both Cara and Adrienne were absolutely incredible to work with - made the entire process easy, which is a bride's dream among all the wedding planning! A photographer is one of the biggest decisions throughout planning, if not the biggest, and we are SO happy we chose F8 to be a part of our special day. Thank you!!
Andrew Howell: F8 Photo Studios did such an amazing job on our wedding photos! Cara is so much fun to work with and makes you feel like a model! She was so efficient organizing the family pictures we wanted and she captured all of our favorite moments throughout the night. We loved working with her and totally recommend her for your wedding photography!
Sylvia Mann: We are so happy Cara, and her lovely assistant, were part of our wedding. F8 brings a very high level of experience to the event, which means a ton of photos are taken; but the chore of posing is quick, and relatively effortless. We would happily work with her again.
Brittany Bory: We're very happy to have had Cara photograph our wedding. We keep looking back at our photos and love how they really capture the beauty of everything and helped make us look great!Meeting Cara for our engagement photos was great because it gave us an opportunity to see how she worked and be more relaxed on our wedding day since we weren't total strangers. She also is fun and jokes around to make you relax and smile the whole time.My husband is a photographer himself, so Cara went above and beyond by scouting out our venue the day before and taking some great shots of the beautiful scenery! It wasn't something she had to do but was such a thoughtful way to show she cared. On the day of, she was great and both made everyone feel at ease while also keeping them in line to ensure we stayed on time and got all the photos we wanted. She was good to work with because she took input from us and also made her own suggestions so that we could come to an agreement on what shots we wanted and how things would run to make it all perfect.To top it all off, the pictures are great. They show emotion, have great color and sharpness, and help to tell the story of our day. But you can see that easily from all her great albums! The photographer is such an important part of your wedding since they will be with you all day and they will capture your memories and what you look back at year after year. Highly recommend Cara and would work with her again in a heartbeat!
Lisa Soticheck: We absolutely love Cara and f8!!! They have shot everything from our professional head shots to our annual family photos and literally everything in between (family wedding, maternity, new born, 1st Birthday/Family). Cara has a true gift for calming the scene and making the entire experience a fun time. Forget painful and awkward posing or a photographer focused on their camera more than their subject. Cara is seamless in her approach and manages to keep the laughs coming all while getting the perfect shot, that perfect angle. You walk away thinking, ‘wow that was awesome’ and you haven’t even seen your pictures. WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR PICTURES! Every genuine smile, every little detail just so….there aren’t words for when someone can capture you and your family in such a beautiful way. Pictures that will last a lifetime, and proudly so. Don’t walk, RUN to get on her schedule. You will not be disappointed.
Amy Mistarz: I wish there were more stars to give, f8 is that good. I had a list of potential photographers we were going to consider, but after 1 phone call with Cara it was very easy deciding to go with them. I don't say that lightly - I was basically panicked the entire planning process about every single vendor, but Cara and her associate Adrienne were right there every step of the way. They answered all my frantic emails, gave literally hours of their time over the phone, we did an engagement session with Adrienne that completely blew us and our family/friends away. One of my favorite compliments - a friend said we looked exactly like us, not a fake version of us. Doing the engagement session had me SO excited going into the wedding, I knew how much fun we'd have with Adrienne and how beautiful our pictures would turn out. The extra surprises I was treated to included the most fabulous assistant, Lindsay, who my husband said made him feel like we had 2 lead photographers not one lead and one assistant. I totally agree, she and Adrienne worked so well together and were so much fun to be around, we couldn't have asked for a better pair to capture our day! The second surprise was that my veil kept catching on something on my straps. Adrienne and Lindsay were ON it! They followed me around adjusting and readjusting, went completely above and beyond to the point that anytime the sticking started I'd call for them instead of my friends and family to help! That's when you know you've got the best of the best! Third and most important, the pictures are so, so, so, SO good!!! I get teary-eyed just thinking about them. The wedding day was such a blur and I feel like I missed so much of it, so it's even more special how talented Adrienne and Lindsay are because we not only have the posed portraits our family members wanted, they captured the FUN! Big time!! There are action shots of the dancing, perfect shots of people laughing together, hilarious ones of people making all kinds of faces. It's like they knew everyone's personalities and gave us these perfect images of exactly who they are and how they all celebrate happy times together. It's priceless. We got so many comments from our guests about how much they appreciated our photographers taking such great pictures of their family. People kept asking me to make sure to send them the link because they knew they'd gotten some good ones. That was such an unexpectedly wonderful feeling, I really can't thank Adrienne and Lindsay enough for that. On top of all of that, they got the pictures back to us SO quickly, other friends with recent weddings were like how are these ready already? People have been talking about them ever since. Another favorite compliment - "I can't stop looking at these pictures!" - again, totally agree. I would recommend f8 to anyone without any hesitation, and I'm pretty confused by the 1 star reviews towards the bottom. I truly can't imagine someone having a bad experience, and after all these months and so much time spent talking with Cara, I can say with complete confidence if an issue was communicated to her, she would make it right.
Chelsea Brelsford-Gallagher: I cannot say enough great things about F8 Photo Studios! My husband and I were planning our 9/30 wedding in Wake Forest from Boston, where we currently live. Needless to say, I was a little nervous about hiring vendors without being able to meet them in person. I spoke with Cara on the phone after taking a look at the F8 website, and she immediately made me feel at ease. She explained all of my options and walked me through what to expect with wedding photography. After making the decision to move forward with F8, my husband and I met Adrienne, our photographer, for our engagement photos. I immediately knew that Adrienne was the right person for the job. Not only was she one of the nicest people I've ever met, but she was clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about photography. When we got our engagement photos back, I could not wait for our wedding, simply for the pictures! Then, very quickly, our wedding day arrived! Adrienne was with me and my bridesmaids while we got ready, and her assistant was with my husband and his groomsmen. Adrienne knew the best shots and angles for me and my girls. She efficiently got us through pictures before and after the ceremony, and then even indulged me in some one-on-one pictures during the reception. We haven't received our full wedding album yet, but Adrienne sent us a "sneak peek" with a few photos, and I am seriously IN LOVE with them- they are breathtaking! I cannot recommend this company enough!
Sarah Edwards: I cannot be happier with our photos! For our wedding my husband & I did not want to skimp on the photos and we are SOOOO happy we went with f8 studios. Cara was fantastic to work with on the planning and for the event we had Adrienne there taking photos. She was great and so fun to be around. We planned everything from Texas so I never event met Adrienne until the day of the event but she had everything set up and ready to go and there were zero issues. I would highly recommend.
Cassie Hughes Thomas: Cara is such an amazing photographer! She made my fiance and I feel so comfortable during our engagement photo session. She truly captured everything we were hoping for. She is so creative and talented. She really listened to exactly what we wanted. She also made the entire experience SO much fun!! We are SO in love with our photos and they will be something we will truly cherish for many years to come!! Thank so much Cara!! :)
Todd Mozingo: Passionate, dedicated customer service and creative photography. Cara is hard-working and will do whatever it takes to get the shots she knows her clients will love. She has photographed my children, business, and clients many times. Cara takes time to get to know her clients because she believes building a relationship is essential to capturing clients' true personalities. She and her group are fantastic.
Amber Parnell: Highly recommend!!! Cara is amazingly talented, hard working, friendly and so much fun to work with! If you are lucky enough to snag her for your big day, you will not be sorry!!!
Sarah: Cara from f8 came highly recommended to us by our amazing wedding planner Erin McLean with Erin McLean Events. Cara is a talented photographer who genuinely cares about her clients. She has an amazing attitude and will do whatever it takes to get the shot right! From start to finish Cara was attentive and professional. What started as a business relationship quickly developed into a friendship. It felt like I had one of my good friends taking my pictures instead of someone I had only just met.
Despina Viniotis Curtis: Won't be doing business with them again.

Wilby Boada: When it comes to photography, Tesh is the person my company turns to for expert knowledge, advice, or reliable services.

Jodi Free: Tesh's LIVE Event Paintings. Tesh Parekh is a true artist that knows how to capture the energy and essence of a corporate event with his painting . We ask him to come and paint at our non-profit corporations organizations largest fundraiser of the year.

John Bradford: Everyone at Classic appreciates the relationship with IWP. Mica and Tesh are always great and we would recommend them to anyone, for any type of project. First Class Professionals, extremely talented, and great work. We just finished a head shot project for a website update, and their response time was incredible. I called them on Friday before Labor Day for a Tuesday after Labor Day shoot, and the entire process was planned and executed flawlessly.
Ed Carpp: Dependable, reliable, artistic, professional, qualities that matter when you have only one chance to get it right. IWP is that photography company. Tesh and Mica are terrific people that work extremely hard to exceed your expectations. You'll want to be friends with them when the work is done and I think that speaks volumes about them and the kind of company they run! Highly recommended.
