I'm not sure if any of these reviews are true. My fiance and I met with the photographer sometime ago and signed a contract. She required us to pay in full, which should have been the first indicator that something was wrong. I had tried to contact her on her phone but it was disconnected so I tried another number that was also disconnected. After some further online research I found these reviews and the Cherry J. Holiday site was no longer up and running I attempted to contact her. I explained my uncomfortableness with the situation. She stated that these reviews were written by an upset former employee of hers. She also claimed she is accredited with the Better Business Bureau but has an "F" rating with them and there has been a couple of complaints filed against the Cherry J. Holiday studio. I'd go elsewhere for a photographer. I still have not received my $399 back. I'd do business elsewhere and spend the money for quality photos from a quality professional.

Just like the others, I met with the photographer with my Finance and we discuseed everything possible that she would provide for her services. She was ready to throw in an additonal wedding album and have another photography available. We paid in full on that day wiith CASH. Well she did not show to the engagement session that she included with the price, b/c she said her daughter was biten in the face by a dog. Then I called her again and again once I saw a review on facebook saying she was a fraud. She made sure that I didnt believe that and that she was going to sue the lady who made the comment. I guess to prove her wrong, she showed up to the wedding, took pictures, showed my the pictures, only to lost contact with her and not get any pictures. Now all of ther numbers I found on her have been disconnected. I think we should file a report with Lisa Madigan's office so that they can find her and deal with her. She stole all of my memories after showing them to me.

My wedding was on Sept 26 2009. Cherry J. holiday studios was paid in full and I still dont have my photos. All my calls are being blocked and emails are unanswered. She was paid in full. No one should ever have to chase their photographer for their wedding photos.

If you value your wedding memories, DON'T TRUST CHERRY J HOLIDAY STUDIOS!!! I'm trying to warn all brides. I met with the photographer, who has beautiful samples, and a great personality, and I booked her and paid in full on the spot. She sold me by adding extras onto my contract, so I believed I was getting an exceptional value for and extremely talented photographer. She promised engagement shoots, family shoots, rehearsal shoots, 2 photogs for 10 hours, a videogropher, pics posted within 2 weeks, albums, and so much more. I never ever got a quarter of what I was supposed to get. No videographer, no rehearsal or family shoots, no pictures, no albums. NO RETURN PHONE CALLS! I call, email, everything, with no response. My wedding was 2 months ago, and I have no pictures, even though I paid my $1500 in advance. So brides, BE WARNED!!!
