BKB photography was absolutely wonderful! I couldn't have asked for anything more. She was very professional and courteous! When I mentioned I had specific shots that I was looking she was more than happy to do what I wanted.

I feel Brittany was not professional at all at my ceremony. Yes, she was on time and her website is great and her pricing I felt was reasonable. If you want someone that almost quits 3 weeks before your wedding because of other obligations,complains to all your guests because things are running late and cries because she's under pressure and can't joke around and have fun than hire her! Good luck! Here's to a lifetime of happiness with no memories of my dinner/cake cutting because she left! The pictures I did receive are all of the same thing.
BKB Photography responded with the following comments:
This is the owner of BKB Photography. After nearly ten years in the wedding photography business, holding a stellar reputation in the wedding world, published in top magazines, award winning - I have never had a complaint nor a client like this. Anyone who knows my studio reputation and who has worked with my studio knows we go above and beyond for all of our clients. What this bride has forgotten to write about here is that there are two sides to EVERY STORY.

What Mrs. Paula Childs has failed to report are the facts, instead she has decided to go online and write a poor review because she is unhappy with her poor planning of her wedding. She has complained about each of her wedding vendors from her cake maker (Cottage Street Bakery), florist (Flowers by Mary) and caterer (Sumptuous Catering). Mrs. Childs hired a livery transportation company to pick up her wedding party (including me) to take us to her beach ceremony. Her transportation was nearly 2 hours late! Leaving us with no light to work with for her beach ceremony or portraits. What she has also failed to tell you in this bad review is that her own husband announced to guests and myself he did not want to get married to her because of her bad attitude, he also did everything possible not to have his photos captured at the wedding.The police had to become involved (police report on file) and my studio has had to hire a lawyer due to the assault she caused at me on her wedding day. She became belligerent, drunk and out of control at her wedding, got in my face and attacked me - this was after her ceremony on a rural beach in P-town where her husband became out of control as well and told me to leave - he said, "I would give you a ******* tip **** leave, I don't want anymore photos!" Continuing to do my job as a professional, knowing that certain images needed to be captured, I expressed to Ms. Childs that is was important to capture images of her and her husband - and that we were over contract; at this time she got in my face, threatened me and said "You think you are ****** coming back to my house to take photos - you are NOT getting in that van *** YOU!" This assault took place for over 15 minutes. She left me on a rural beach with no transportation in the DARK nearly 8 miles from my car with no cell phone reception. Luckily the justice of the peace (Justice Judy) witnessed this entire situation and drove me to my car and safety.

I am a true professional, have a great attitude about my job - and my clients rave about the personalized service they receive (as you can see in my reviews and my work). I would also like to add Mrs.Childs wedding was August 6th and she received her high resolution digital files within two weeks turn around time from her wedding date - like every other client at BKB Photography. Unfortunately for my studio, this particular client (who has received notice from my attorney to stop slander and to stop prank calling me in the middle of the night - we have a unhappy situation to deal with - the truth is she is not unhappy with me - she is just UNHAPPY. I wish everyone the best, but this bride takes the cake for a bridezilla - my first in 10 years!

More facts:

1. Contracted for 5 hours - small wedding 20 people - I stayed 6.5 hours. I did not hold them responsible for this fee. This did not include my travel time from my studio which is 3 hours each way.

2. Mrs. Childs announced to me three weeks prior to her wedding that it was the Pan Mass Challenge Bike Race and that I should take the ferry to P-town. She said due to the traffic issues and the small size of her wedding, she would change the timing of the event to help accommodate my transportation b/c she wanted BKB to capture her wedding. After researching the ferry - the ferry schedule would not work for us as the last ferry leaves P-town back to Boston for 730pm. Like each bride at our studio, we work with our clients each step of the way to prepare a schedule of the wedding day. Later, finalizing Mrs. Paula Childs wedding schedule she refused to accommodate the schedule as promised. We offered to refund her total deposit and help find a local P-town wedding photographer at the same caliber due to the traffic issues. Since Pan Mass Challenge bike race proves to be serious traffic challenge with more than 5,000 cyclists riding to the Cape, I made sure I was on the Cape grounds with plenty of time to spare making sure I was there and ready for the wedding day.

3. I assisted Mrs. Childs in getting dressed, buckled her shoes, got her toilet paper, champagne, helped guide the processional at ceremony - which is NOT in my job deion, but I believe as a wedding professional - having done hundreds of weddings in my career- that a wedding day is the brides day and to help assist in any way possible to make the process comfortable and easy for all parties involved.

This bad review, reflects the drama that Mrs. Childs and her husband created - even her guests couldn't believe how she treated me.

Brittany was a pleasure to work with and we could not be any happier with how the photos came out for our July 2010 wedding. She is very easy to work with and does everything to go out of her way for her clients. She even helped us find other vendors to use for other services we needed. She has a great personality and was a huge help to me on the day of the wedding. She worked diligently to get us the best photos and everyone who sees them are amazed at her work. One of the aspects I admire about her the most is she was in total control on the day of the wedding. She knew exactly what to do to get all the great shots and she got along so well with all our family members and guests. BKB Photography was the first vendor we booked when planning our wedding and I would book her quickly because it was definitely one of the best decisions we made.

Brittany Blando and BKB Photo did all of the photos for my 6/5/10 wedding.

I was unbelievable happy with my photos from the wedding. They turned out just beautifully as I knew they would. Brittany is a highly accomplished photographer with years of "knot" awards under her belt. I was impressed from my initial meeting with her at her beautiful Marblehead studio. She is a very friendly, professional woman that is just overall very cheerful. I really liked her personality and going through her work I couldn't wait for her to get started on my wedding! She has such a creative flair and every photo is unique and looks like a page in a magazine.

I met with her several times and even met with her at the reception venue since she had never worked there before. I worked with her on a detailed list of photos I wanted and we walked around the venue noting great places to take photos etc. I had Brittany for the whole day on my wedding day so she very kindly came out to my parents house in Groton to take "getting ready" photos and then moved on to the church and reception in the Boston area. She did a great job of keeping all of us, including my bridal party on her timetable. I give her props because this was especially hard with my bridesmaids, myself, makeup/hair people, parents, and several neighbors all in our house for this process. She really did a great job of nudging us to get ready and keep us on the timetable she needed to have so that she could get to the church on time.

By the time we got to the reception venue the weather had turned and rain and thunderstorms were impending. She did a great job (with her two assistants) of really rounding all of us up, the bridal party and family to get the shots done in time. Afterward, when the rain passed and we had eaten she did a great job of rounding us up again for more photos outside and patiently dealt with some of my more cranky (and kinda drunk) bridal party members. I will still never understand how they get the right to complain (fellow brides, are you with me?!?!) She was very quick, professional, and did just a great job of getting us together so we could go enjoy our day. ItIt was obvious she had done this many times before! She also had a back up plan in case of rain for our big day. I was very impressed and thankful that she had the backup location of the Royal Sonesta Hotel. Luckily it didn't work out (I really, really wanted pictures at our chosen venue) but it was great of her that she could use her contacts like that to help us just in case. It certainly was a beautiful backup location! To be honest, I was so focused on praying to the rain gods to make it stop raining that I hadn't given a thought to a backup plan!

The package I had with Brittany was an all day package (9 hours I believe) with a USB drive of all of the digital files taken that day (about 900-1000) and a printed 16 x 20 photo. She sent us the website she uses with the link to the digital files and they can be purchased there or really through any location once you have the USB drive. I knew the photographer would be expensive, but in comparison to the several others I met with, her pricing is on par and was exactly what I needed. There was no need for 4 x 6 print outs to be included in the package - not in the day in age of facebook/snapfish/picasa/shutterfly etc. I was very happy with the photos she took and I love looking through them over and over again. She really captured our special day in exactly the way I imagined and was even more artistic with some of her shots than I expected. She really has such a great artistic touch and is very creative. I would highly recommend BKB Photo and would expect to see many more "knot" awards and other such recognition for a wonderful studio.

My husband and I could not have been happier with our decision to use Brittany of BKB Photography for our wedding day photos.
I booked Brittany after seeing her work in a few magazines and speaking with her on the phone. She is beyond professional, incredibly polite, has such a great eye for photos and editing. All in all, she was a delight to work with.
After reviewing her albums at her studio, I felt complete trust in her artisitic ability, and had one less thing to micro manage on my wedding day!
On our wedding day itself, not only was she on time, but arrived hours earlier because we were due for heavy rain and she wanted to make sure she got the shots we wanted before it poured!
All our photos came out more beautiful than we could have hoped for, and we had all our proofs up within 2 weeks of our wedding!
I would highly recommend BKB studios to anyone who wants beautiful photos! A great and professional vendor to work with!

Working with Brittany was a fabulous experience. I'm thrilled with the way our photos turned out. Brittany and her assistants were extremely professional. She also gave my fiance and I an additional engagement session at no additional charge (our first session was on the hottest day of the year).

Brittany is absolutely amazing -- extremely talented, professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. She did a wonderful job capturing our wedding - from the key moments to the little details. She was also a huge help and a invaluable resource during the entire wedding planning process. My husband and I (and our friends and family) are thrilled beyond all expectations with our beautiful wedding photos and the excellent service we received. We would wholeheartedly recommend Brittany's services to anyone in a heartbeat.

Brittany was wonderful to work with and her photos are beautiful! Her sample albums were the best that I'd seen out of everyone I interviewed and I can't wait to get mine! She was willing to change our engagement session date at the last minute and spent extra time on it because we were having so much fun. During our wedding many of our guests remarked on how great she was at getting a variety of shots and capturing important moments.

Wow... where can I begin? Brittany of BKB Photography is so talented, and made me and my husband feel completely at ease during our wedding. She and her two assistant photographers arrived right on time and started shooting away, getting the most touching moments, to the most gorgeous detail shots that you will ever see. Near the end of the wedding, Brittany had already compiled and edited a few photos that she displayed on her laptop for our guests to see, and everyone was raving about them! Then two days after the wedding, she had already put up a whole bunch of photos on her blog as a sneak preview! I LOVE them and she said all of the rest would be ready in only a few weeks!

Brittany is an amazing photographer, professional, personable, and is a complete joy to work with. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a photographer for a special occasion.

Brittany was wonderful to work with. She was enthusiastic about our wedding from day one, and she offered suggestions and recommended other vendors for us. In fact, we found our florist through her. On the day of our wedding, she brought along an equally wonderful assistant, Tony Yu. Choosing BKB Photo was one of the best decisions we made during the wedding planning process!

Working with Brittany was an absolute dream, beginning with using her for our Engagement photos to the final wedding date we couldn't have been more pleased. In hiring a photographer, personality was one thing that I was most concerned about, as that person would be with you at every moment of one of the most important days of your life. Brittany and all her staff could not have been sweeter and you instantly feel like she is just a friend, who knows exactly what to do to get your wedding day off to a great start! Her work speaks for itself; the artistic level to which her photos and albums are at is more than we could ask for.
