When I first met with the Climer's, I thought I was going to love them. They were a young, happy, upbeat couple that seemed to take amazing photos. However, this did not remain the case. After a disagreement regarding our engagement photos stemming from their poorly worded contract (which they changed right after our scuffle), our relationship was forever altered. Their was no professionalism. Amanda was hateful when she approached the problem at hand, and her distaste for us was evident on our wedding day. They did not offer any suggestions or creativity to our shots that day. If I had not asked for more, there would have only been 3 poses of me with my bridesmaids. Furthermore, due to her haste to get rid of us as clients, she quickly edited our photos and sent us the disc without having touched any of the non-posed pictures. Many of the shots from the ceremony and reception are dark and/or blurry. When I asked for them to edit some of those, they responded that they wouldn't even consider editing any more until the end of 2011, if they would even edit any more at all. I would not suggest their services to anyone!

when I found 417 studios/ Climer photography, I sent them an email asking for information, it wasn't ten minutes later and Amanda was calling me to answer any of my questions. She penciled in my date and then let me know when someone else wanted to book that date also. When my parents and I first met with Lance and Amanda they were so professional and had a great display of their work. When my husband and I had our e-session in was so much fun. The two of them were so easy to work with and made us much more comfortable. They were great at our wedding. They had wonderful ideas and helped make the more traditonal photos go so quickly. It was so wonderful having the climers as our photographers and we are so excited to see our pictures!

They have exceded every expectation that I had. They were great to work with. They rescheduled our engagement photo session with no complaints, when we could not make it due to bad weather. The photo book that we got was amazing. They were willing to travel as well. Very friendly and helpful.

We found 417 studios on google, and decided they were the best photographer for us. We actually never met Amanda or Lance until our engagement session, but they were awesome. They were very relaxed, worked so well together, and knew what they were doing. It was so much fun to walk all over downtown Springfield with them, and have engagement pictures we had only imagined having! Their prices were incredibly low, and they knew how to get us the photos we wanted, in a quick, professional manner. When our wedding day finally got here, they were punctual, and worked quite, quickly, and were so understanding and polite! I didn't worry about our pictures, and as a result, I really feel like they turned out better because it was one thing I didn't have to worry about going right. I knew they would. When our wedding was over, we didn't expect to have our photos for a month or two. They said it would be about three weeks, but we actually ended up having our photos in less than one week, so they were early, and perfect! I'm so trilled to show off our pictures, and we have recently had a few printed as we have recovered from the cost of our wedding day. Since we didn't have to give our first born for the cost of our photos, we ended up spending more on little details, like lighting and flowers, and in turn it really enhanced the depth of our photos! I would recommend 417 studios to anyone I know getting married. Easy to work with, knowledgeable, and willing to be flexible. You have to at least look into their packages!!
