    Jane and Barb are easy to work with and listen to your requests. Do some really unique editing to the photos as well. Really accommodating.

    Barb and Jane photographed our engagement pictures two years ago and they were the first ones I thought of for our wedding. They are an incredibly fun pair to work with and the pictures are always beautiful! I think it is an amazing advantage to have them working together because they capture so many poses and special moments that one photographer alone might miss. They also have exceptional follow-up skills and were very flexible with us before, during and after the wedding. They are willing to work closely with you to make sure that you get everything you want in the photographs of your special day. I will absolutely recommend Creative Photos to anyone looking for top-notch photography along with personalized service!

    Both Jane and Barb were great to work with! They took their time to find out what I wanted and I could not have asked for better pictures. Not to mention their prices were in my price range, very affordable! All I had to do was ask and they did their best to make it happen. I would recommend them in a heart beat!

    Thanks Katie. We had a lot of fun working with you and Kevin. It was a great evening full of love and laughter!! We wish you both all the best!

    My advice to future brides is have a plan of what you want with your pictures. Make sure your comfortable and confident in your photographer. I would refer a future bride to this company.

    CREATIVE PHOTOS BY J REID's reply:

    Good advice Miranda. I would also add, that you ask your photographer how much time should they allow for photos. We had a good time at your wedding and wish you and Justin all the best!

    I used Creative Photos by J Reid for my engagment pictures as well as my wedding pictures. My husband is not very open to the idea of getting his picture taken and I felt that both Jane and Barb did a great job to relax both of us. From getting our engagment pictures done we received them in about 3 weeks. I was very impressed by the way that they also handled my wedding. I was of course a nervous bride trying to make sure everything went the way that I wanted it to, about a week before the wedding I had a phone call to just get everything in place. They really relaxed me and I felt at ease when I got off the phone. The day of the wedding, they both beat me to the church, and then took amazing pictures. They handled everything. I loved the quality of the photographes and really like the professional way they handled everything. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer.

    Thank you Meagan so much. You and Chris are such a lovely couple, we had a great time photographing your wedding. You guys had one of the best wedding parties, which only made our job easier!

    We were very pleased with their professionalism and communication. The photographers worked well with our two large families. They offered many unique photos. There are several packages from which to choose and they will add or combine different products. Delivery was faster than expected. For great value and quality, go to Creative Photos by J Reid.

    Jane & Barb provided a professional and fun photography experience for our daughter's wedding. They captured every moment, and the lasting memories from pictures and video will be treasured. We'd recommend Creatiive Photos by J Reid to any bride-to-be.

    I LOVED LOVED LOVED Creative Photos by J Reid!! Firstly, going through the process of planning for the wedding, they were VERY quick at responding to emails. At the wedding, the photographer with AMAZING. She got along GREAT with everyone who stood up in the wedding and made everyone feel very comfortable and at ease when taking pictures, which obviously led to better shots! She made the picture taking process very fun and was very kind/patient toward the end of the night when everyone starting getting difficult to find for the final pictures. Not only did I absolutely LOVE every picture that was taken, but all of my family and friends LOVED them as well. I would not have one bad thing to say about my experience with J Reid. So glad I picked her as my photographer for my special day!!! :-) Would 100% recommend her to ALL my family and friends!!

    We received a flyer with info about Creative Photos by J Reid at the Palace bridal show and gave them a call to get more details. Barb Reid was very helpful in explaining everything, and we set up an appointment for Barb to come to our house for a visit. She brought a collection of their photography, and we immediately felt comfortable with Barb. It was the same way when we met Jane.

    We scheduled a shoot for our engagement photos at a local park in the fall. Jane and Barb offered ideas and also were very receptive of ours. We spent more than three hours taking photos, and the sisters were very easy to work with and felt like old friends after that. We loved the final product, as did all of our family and friends with whom we shared the photos.

    Before our wedding, we carefully detailed all of our photographic needs/desires, the style of photographs we were looking for, special things and people to make sure Jane and Barb captured, etc. And we received everything we asked for and more. Yes, we had some traditional posed shots. But we also had great outdoor shots, spontaneous photos, photos that captured moments, people at the wedding, etc. that we were delighted to see after the wedding. Photographing included the time when the bridal party was getting ready, throughout the mass, after mass, for a couple of hours in Frankenmuth, throughout the dinner and until after the cake was cut.

    The Reid sisters truly captured our day and all of the events in a way that we still talk about. Our bridal party, families and friends enjoyed working with Jane and Barb as they treated everyone with respect, were friendly and were very open to ideas and suggestions throughout the nearly 12-hour day. There prices are very reasonable considering all of the time they spent with us and all of the photos we received, the storybook albums and the DVD, not to mention the quality. They certainly beat out the half-dozen other photographers we compared for packages and prices in Saginaw County and metro Detroit.

    My husband and I would highly recommend Creative Photos by J Reid. We have even talked about having Jane and Barb take our children's first photos when they come along.

    CREATIVE PHOTOS BY J REID's reply:

    Thanks Cindy. We LOVED the road trip wedding to Saginaw. It was a beautiful day with beautiful people. Everyone was so nice, and made us feel right at home. And I believe that really came across on your wedding photos!

    My husband and I used them for our wedding photography and I would recommend them to any bride looking for awesome photos. I was a bride very head strong and wanted everything my way (but still wanted to have fun). When I meet with them to go over everything they paid attention to all our request and details. The day of our wedding they came to start our pictures and all we did was laugh and enjoy ourselves,I LOVE every single picture they took for us.Since my wedding I have been a bridesmaid in 5 and looking at all of their pictures they are missing some of the best pictures we had,I have notice no one pays attention the details like Barb and Jane do how they took pictures of all our guest at their tables how they went above and beyond for all the pictures with our family members. I could not say nothing bad about our photos and the how special they made me and my husband feel the day of our wedding. I also love about them a year later I recieved a lovley email from them wishing us a happy annivesary. Their prices are amazing and their work and hearts are even better.

    CREATIVE PHOTOS BY J REID's reply:

    Thanks for the nice review, but you two made our job easy. You were up for anything, your wedding party was blast and your mom made us feel like we were part of the family. How could you not have fun!!

    Creative Photos by J Reid took my husband and I's wedding photographs on October 30, 2009. We had a wonderful wedding and there is no other photographer I would have wanted to have taken photographs that day. Jane captured a lot of amazing moments from our special day and she made us feel so comfortable while she was taking our pictures! She came with a lot of great ideas, which were unique and fun! We had an amazing experience... As a matter of fact, my husband and I were blessed with a pregnancy a few months after our wedding and had our son on December 21, 2010 and we chose Creative Photos by J Reid to photograph our son's milestone pictures (3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months). She was extremely flexible, as far as scheduling and location! We loved having her at our home, because she even got pictures of my little family, including our black lab and chocolate lab! She was also very patient when our little man was being camera shy and crabby... you know how babies can be!

    With both our wedding photos and our son's milestone pictures, Creative Photos by J Reid got our proofs to us in no time. I really loved the turn around on this because I was always so excited to see the moments she captured each session. Each time we reviewed proofs, we were never less than thrilled by the memorable moments captured!

    Creative Photos by J Reid doesn't just take pictures, they capture moments... the photographs we have from our wedding truly tell the story of our love and our future together and the photographs of our son's milestones are priceless. We are looking forward to using Creative Photos by J Reid's service again in the near future! I definitely recommend them to anyone looking for special moments in their lives to be captured, whether it's their wedding day or any day!

    CREATIVE PHOTOS BY J REID's reply:

    Thank you Lauren. It truly has been quite a journey. While I loved taking your wedding pictures and creating something special for both and Jeff, I loved even more taking pictures of you, Jeff and your beautiful son Zac. Working with a baby is very unpredictable, but we made it work and had a lot of fun along the way. I look forward to working with you again!

    Creative Photos were very professional, easy to work with, and lots of fun. Their prices were also reasonable with a military family on a budget. Their creativity and talent is demonstrated in the end result of all pictures.

    We loved capturing your special day Stacey and so glad you love the photos. For all they do for our country, we were glad to give a military discount.

    Their style of working was immensely intrusive, with little to no regard for other professionals present, not to mention the guests.
    Their shooting style ignores the basic rules of photography so they wind up making amateur mistakes. Unacceptable for someone charging you money.
    When the "good" photos they post online feature numerous instances of half-to-full closed eyes, and people including the other photographers , that's a warning sign.
    Their method of payment is extraordinarily unprofessional and being unwilling to refund/cancel well in advance of the wedding is shady, showing a full knowledge of their work's downside, as (to my knowledge) they were unwilling to share a full portfolio with you until you'd paid them. I feel like I had to do their job for them when it came to gathering people for pictures or telling people how and where to stand! I was and am completely appalled by their work ethic and would not recommend them.

    CREATIVE PHOTOS BY J REID's reply:

    Alysia,
    Thank you for your feedback and we appreciate your honesty. However, we are sorry and surprised that you did not have a good experience with Creative Photos By J Reid, since at no time were your concerns brought to our attention while working together. Though we are truly disappointed with your review, there are some things that are out of our control. Such as, people not being ready or paying attention, not enough time is provided or a timeline is not followed. We wish you and Beau all the past with your future endeavors.
