Talk about perfection! First of all, besides Rissa & Nathaniel's amazing talents as photgraphers, they're personalities are awesome & caring!! I met a lot of bad photographers that seemed stiff or just not even remotely passionate. Balance is the complete opposite! They are so fun & so helpful from the beginning & planning stages. They worked with our budget which we soo appreciated, because they are worth soo much more! They also helped things run smoothly to get all the traditional pictures we wanted in the short amount of time we had. Everyone was so impressed with them & also had a blast with them throughout the day! I remember some weddings with some very annoying photographers, but Balance is soo good. We just did our thing and when we wanted a picture of something specific, there they were! Brittany who is one of their assistants is also amazing :) All in all, this was one of the best additions to our wedding day, you will NOT go wrong by choosing Balance - they are quite simply, the best :) Thank you!

Rissa and Nathaniel were absolutely amazing. I always felt comfortable around them and truly beautiful. They always put us first and kept things very organized. They were not pushy or rude. My entire family and wedding party loved them. I feel like they became more like friends than anything else. I am going to use them in the future for other events like pregnancy pictures, baby pictures, boudoir shoots etc. They were a true pleasure to work with and so understanding of our every need. You are missing out if you do not choose them to be your photographers.

Rissa and Nate are wonderful - to work with, in their professionalism and knowledge, experience and background in photography. My husband took a photography class with them a few years ago, and nothing but great things to say about them. Honestly, we didn't need to check out other photographers after meeting with them and looking through their portfolios. They are both honest, hard-working and creative. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out fantastic!

I'm really happy to see all the stellar reviews for Nathanial and Rissa! All I ever wanted for my wedding day was photo-journalistic style photos, and Balance Photography delivered. We have a few sample shots on our website: http://ryanandqui.com/?p=165 if you'd like to see a few of ours. I can't speak highly enough of the lengths they went to to capture every special moment. Whether it required feats of strength or flexibility, they got the shots! I owe them a special thank you for taking such good care of me and my girls - those are photos I will treasure all my life. We're also so honored that they came early to capture our "getting ready" photos - that wasn't something we planned into the day, but they knew it would matter to us later (and they are some of the best shots). It's also worth mentioning that, as a hands-off bride, I didn't bother "screening" them in advance - that might be unusual, but I trusted them from the get-go just based on their website and interactions with my husband. God bless you guys!

We met Nathaniel from Balance at a bridal show, and instantly had a great experience of service and responsiveness. Discussing the details for contracting Balance to travel to our Jamaican destination wedding, including arranging flights, resort, photography packages, and engagement photo options was easy and very pleasureable. Nathaniel and Rissa were professional, quick to respond, honest and just exceptional to plan with.
When it comes to having Balance shoot the wedding, we couldn't be happier. The photography was taken in a photojournalistic style, so many more intimate, important moments were caught on film which would not normally show in "posed" pictures. They were able to mingle and make our families and friends feel at ease. The photo quality was outstanding, and we're still amazed how well they turned out!
My wife and I are so very happy with the quality, value, and experience of the Balance crew! We have already recommended them to family and friends.

Nathaniel and Rissa are simply the best!!! They are truely natural artists. I loved that they are a husband-wife team. It was so important to me to have 2 photographers at our wedding. I wanted to have someone with me and someone with Ryan while we were getting ready! Not only did we have 2 photographers, we also had an assistant, Josie! She was amazing too! It's all the details they just touched on, that I didn't think of! Ryan and I had so much fun working with them! They fit right in with our friends! They were everywhere without being invasive. I honestly felt they were guests at our wedding and not paid to be there. I consider Nathaniel and Rissa to be our friends, they are great!! We are going to have the hardest time selecting all the pictures we want in the albums because they get amazing shots! You would be crazy not to selcet Balance Wedding Photography for your event!

When we were first engaged, all of our married friends stressed how important our wedding photographer would be. Of course we were nervous, but Nathaniel and Rissa talked us off of more ledges than our spiritual advisor. Their knowledge stretches far beyond photography. Every step of the way, from the cake tasting to mother of the groom gifts, Nathaniel and Rissa had excellent advise and suggestions. They were never pushy or aggressive with their ideas and suggestions. They got to know my husband and I first, then naturally adapted to fit our style.
The day of the wedding, Nathaniel, Rissa, and their assistant arrived at the wedding site dressed professionally and blended seamlessly into our wedding party; so much so that half the pictures they took, I didn't even realize I was being filmed! They were personable and friendly with every member of the wedding party.
If we weren't impressed before, we were completely blown away when we received our pictures. Within a few weeks of the wedding, Nathaniel and Rissa sent us our pictures in a beautiful picture box, with a fine canvas bag, our pictures on CD, and a new IPod Nano loaded with music selections and our pictures. The pictures were not only artistic and stylistic, but intimate and personal. In fact, my twin brother who spent way too much on a "brand name" photographer wants to get re-married just so Balance Photography can shoot his wedding.
There is not enought that I can say about Balance Photography. Seriously, if you are searching for a wedding photographer who will provide you with personal service as well as give you all the bang for your buck, go with Balance Photography. This will be one wedding stress you won't have to worry about.

Rissa and Nathaniel were fantastic! My husband and I were looking for a photographer that we connected with since photographs are such a major part of your wedding day. Upon meeting Rissa and Nathaniel we knew we wanted them to be our photographers. They were very accommodating with our budget and they really listened to what we wanted. Balance Photography is true photojournalism. Many photographers say they are photojournalistic, but we found that upon meeting with many of them they would pose the bride and groom into these so called captured moments; not so with Balance. They were very unobtrusive and wonderful to have around. Our friends and family keep asking us who our photographers were because they liked them so much!
After the wedding I went back to Balance for a shoot called "Glam the Dress" (you can see samples on their website). For this shoot, Rissa and Nathaniel have the bride dress up in her wedding gown one more time and take extravagant pictures. This was so much fun and I highly recommend this shoot to any new bride!
Bottom line is that we couldn't have asked for better photographers!

Rissa Miller and Nathaniel Korn are a married team who love what they do and we love that they were OUR documentation of our day. I have only seen some quick slide show of the rehearsal and some snippets from the wedding but what I saw was unlike anything else...I just can't tell you the amount of confidence one can have if this team is taking your pictures....they are fun, not stuffy, not over posed, they are EVERYWHERE....I have never seen such attentive professionals. Rissa came to the rehearsal which allowed her to know the family and the key players, then came to my home as I got ready. She was wonderful, patient and lovely to work with as I was a little nervous! When we arrived to the church Nathaniel greeted me at the door....it was just a great feeling knowing that it was all covered. Nathaniel spent the getting ready time with Angelo and the groomsmen...one of the guys said "he's stealth like you never know where he is going to be next"
What I was truly amazed by is that they were on the dance floor, they were on the floor, they were at every angle but never were they in the way or holding up any moment....
I couldn't imagine having anyone else document such an important day in our lives.

Rissa of Balance Wedding was all I could hope for in a photographer, especially since I am extremely picky.
She was professional and easy to work with. She blended perfectly into the atmosphere and was very pleasant (i've noticed photographers tend to be somewhat aggressive and too serious). Between me and you she aint bad to look at either.
The photographs were amazing. Her ability to capture awesome candid images and in motion images are very impressive.
I will not hesitate to hire Balance Wedding for my second marriage.

Our wedding pictures turned out amazing, they far exceeded our expectations!! Rissa and Nathaniel have a great spirit and our guests enjoyed their presence. They worked seamlessly within our ceremony and reception and were able to capture every priceless memory without interrupting the events. The end result was in true photo-journalistic form and everything that I asked for, all of the pictures are my favorites! Rissa and Nathaniel share a gift, the ability to capture the emotion in their images that come together and tell a story. You can easily flip through our pictures and imagine watching as the rings were exchanged, listening to the band, or watching the flower girls twirl on the dance floor.

From the beginning, I put all of my trust in Balance with no reservations. I'd seen enough of their work to feel like they would turn out incredible things for my own wedding and I have some very high expectations as I'm a wedding vendor myself. I just got my pictures yesterday and I cannot tell you how happy I am with them. They completely exceeded my expectations beyond what I even imagined to begin with. Their style is TRUE documentary and photojournalistic style and seeing the pictures truly captured the day and all of the moments that I missed because of how fast it went by. The other thing is that they really honestly love what they do in addition to being REALLY good at it. Book Balance for your wedding today. It will be the best investment for your wedding.

The first thing I want to say is WOW! Rissa and Nathaniel are two of the most creative people I have ever met. They truly have a passion for photography and are true artist. They took the most creative and wonderful photos of our wedding. The caught the casual fun shots of our friends and families then they switched gears and got the formal shots of my husband, myself and our families. They really captured the mood of our wedding. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer.
