Love Letters

Wondering how past brides felt about their experience working with Kishel Photography on their wedding day? We recently asked them and this is what they said…

“You (Amanda) are so easy to work with an extremely seasoned photographer. All of my nerves were calmed after a few meetings with you and things just got better after the engagement pictures. You were truly able to capture the heart and soul of our big day. Our pictures are unlike anyone else’s and that is invaluable. Of all of the experiences of our wedding day, working with you was such a highlight. Money very well spent! I can’t wait for you to capture the heart and soul of our family, as it grows.

Also, I wanted to write something very honest that I’m not sure you’ll really want on your web-page, but it may help some brides out there on a budget.

When budgeting for my wedding, I was very nervous about spending such a large portion of my budget on a photographer and pictures. This was honestly something that I thought about over and over again. We looked and looked for “bargains” on photography (as my husband has triumphantly repeated several times since we got our pictures back, “see, you get what you pay for”). We always came back to Kishel photography. The quality and vision are unparalleled. The most honest thing I can say is that I have not regretted spending that money once! The memories that Amanda captured on film will last a lifetime. I am so happy with my entire photographer experience (and keep getting rave reviews from my friends and family). Make photography a priority in your budget, or you will regret it. No matter how engaged you are in your wedding day and with your fiance/husband, it is not possible to remember everything, but every time you look through your pictures, memories of the day will come rushing back. It is like reliving the most beautiful moments of your life over and over again… who wouldn’t love that!?!”

“If we were to tell people how we felt about Kishel photography we would have to say AMAZING! We couldn’t ask for more. The fun all started from our first meeting all the way through planning and picking up our wedding album! My favorite part about everything was how perfect the pictures turned out! We love how the pictures are all fun and unique, they are like nothing we have seen before! From the beginning you made us feel special and took a real interest in making the pictures fit our personalities! You have been wonderful and we can’t wait to work with you again!”

“I loved all my pictures, they were gorgeous. When we show people our album they always say ‘you had a great photographer.’ Also you were very helpful the day of the day of the wedding, everything from helping me put my shoes on to gathering the bridal party to make our entrance into the reception. Your attention to detail and small touches really make working with you a fantastic experience. I loved all the small touches, such as the emergency kit on the wedding day (which I had to use), the address cards and the ornament. The wedding album options were great and we were able to pick something that suited us perfectly. We also loved the variety of creative ways we could use our pictures, books, magnets, metal pieces, etc. The video of the pictures was great! All my friends that couldn’t make it to the wedding loved seeing it on facebook and youtube. It was a great way to share our wedding with people on all over the world, literally I can’t think of anything that would have made the experience better.”

“We wanted our wedding day to reflect who we are as a couple. Knowing that it goes by so fast, we wanted to make sure we could do our best to capture the moments of our expression that day. As hard as it is to capture the magnitude of a wedding day, we knew if anyone could come close it was Kishel Photography. I was speechless when I saw the images of our day. It was beyond perfect. Every detail, and beautiful moment was captured. Who we are as a couple is artfully represented in our wedding pictures and we will always have those memories preserved thanks to Kishel Photography.”

“Amanda does an amazing job with photography. She adds so many little details and editing to make your picture absolutely gorgeous. She makes the photo sessions full of energy and fun. Kishel Photography makes you feel more than just a client, but part of the huge family! My husband and I loved all the hard work, energy, special touches, and even the special gifts we still get from Kishel Photography. I have gotten so many compliments on the photo album and pictures, that it makes you feel so blessed to have picked the right photographer! You will never be disappointed with any work you have Amanda do.”

“Working with Kishel Photography was everything we could ask for when it came to our big day. Everything was very organized and every detail was covered. Kishel Photography went beyond just being our photographer by providing extra little gifts that made our wedding day go so much smoother. Beyond all the details, the photos were everything we imagined and more! Several months later, people still talk about the photography and how friendly Amanda was to everyone. Most importantly, it was very important to us that our wedding became a story of our relationship for all of our guests. We expressed to this to Amanda even before our engagement session and she went above and beyond to make it happen. She even had suggestions for us that we never thought of! It was like she had known us forever. She even surprised us by adding some video from our wedding into the photo video! The entire experience was more than we could ask for and I continue to recommend Kishel Photography to everyone we know that’s getting married (and even those that aren’t yet)!”

“Chris and I were absolutely thrilled with the album you put together for us. We’ve had so many positive comments from family and friends all of whom comment on the great photos of Chris. Yes, they all know how much he hates having his photo taken. The work you did before the wedding and the day of was fabulous. Chris commented afterwards that he would be talking with someone, turn and see “this little person” scampering away. You did a wonderful job of taking his photo when he was unaware of your presence. Thank you so much for helping make our wedding such an enjoyable and memorable event.”

~ Tracy Hamilton

“I wanted to say a big THANK YOU again for taking your time to photograph Ella so that we have those little moments forever! You did such a fantastic job working with her and being patient with allowing her time for “little breaks”. I am soooo excited to see the end products! Again, Tuesdays and Wednesdays work well for me because Ella is in school and I can come up to your office without her. I think it will be much easier to focus on looking through pictures alone. Again, THANK YOU so much and I can’t wait to do more play dates in the future with the new baby and our whole family!”
