We had booked Weddings and Beyond for our photographer for our 9/19/09 wedding at the Harrisburg Civic Club. He was very reasonable and seemed to take great pictures. The wedding day came and we were all a little suprised by Cole's attire - most of the guests thought he was a college friend by the way he was dressed in a ratty plaid shirt, wrinkled khaki's and his hair looked a mess! Everything seemed great until I would call for the pictures and kept being told that there were going to be completed at the end of the week. This happened for about 4 weeks and I finally just "dropped in" to pick up my CD. We were very pleased with them until we realized that they had missed a bunch of pictures. My husband went back to get the corrected Cd's and he had to sit there for over an hour until they finished them. That was the last contact we had. THey are now out of business and owe us a $600 album that was already paid for! We have filed a complaint with the Attorney General and encourage others to do the same!!

UPDATE: Sorry everyone since I last posted my comments on this business, I have seen their true colors. This company is now out of business and I do not have any of the three albums that I have already paid for. My first anniversary is in less than a month and don't even have an album to show for it. I am highly upset with Cole. If anyone else has had this problem please feel free to email me because we all need to do something about this. It is not fair to all of us brides that do not have what we paid for. I mean how low can you get to mess with what is supposed to be the happiest day of someones life?





The photos were absolutely beautiful. Our photographer TJ was the best, he was so cool to work with and really was excited about the photos he took. It was Tj's first Baltimore wedding and that just added to his passion and excitement.
We had a few issues with getting a hold of people in the beginning prior to the wedding , but we found out later it was because they were transitioning to a new office, and so we worked out the kinks. Since then, they have been wonderful for the most part. Cole has always gotten back to me when I needed information, and I am truly pleased with the work they have done. I have not recieved my album yet but I am sure it will be just as great...

Ok this review is mixed... I'd like to address the DJ and videographer seperately. The Videographer was very professional and did an excellent job, but the DJ on the other hand... NOT IMPRESSED. He goofed up all the names on the intros, after we went over with him twice. Then, he forgot to have the bridal party dance. He looked frazzled the whole time. He didnt seem to be following the time line we gave him. Oh, did I mention he brought his 2 daughters?? Ugh. If Weddings and Beyond gives you Bill as a DJ... beware!

My husband and I used WAB for our DJ, photography and videography needs, they were referred to us from the Holiday Inn, New Cumberland as a preferred provider. Our DJ was awesome, he did a great job, kept everyone dancing and stayed until the Holiday Inn shut us down (understandably so!) Cole on the other hand, never, ever hire him for any event. Cole was so unorganized and unprofessional....at one point I thought I was being too hard on him because I was stressed, now I realize I didn't protect myself enough. Cole has our money, however we do not have prints, an album, or the canvas that we had paid for. We have filed a complaint with the attorney generals office and I hope that Cole will do what is right, refund our money... but I'm not holding my breath!

DO NOT HIRE COLE.!!!!!!!!!

I loved Cole when I met him at the Holiday Inn Bridal Show. He was young, energetic, and fun. He could talk about his pictures style and format. His appearance was wonderful, sweet suit and sharp haircut. We talked prices, packages, other services, etc. I had already been to 4 shows and had also been pricing out photographers. Honestly no one could beat his prices and packages and I loved the style of his photos.

Our first meeting with Cole was in the Basement Office that looked like it hadn't been cleaned in months and stunk like a dirty dog! We went through the contracts and everything was ready for monthly debits, etc. I did my online wedding planner and everything seemed like it was on a roll.

Day of Wedding: Cole showed up in a Plaid Shirt and rumpled Cargos and BUSH full of unkept hair, COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL. His Assistant whom I hired as a second photographer was dressed in all black neat clean tidy appearance.

He had not read any of my online planner. My husband and the groomsmen were photographed in the wrong area. Almost every photo that was taken of me my necklace was crooked. He only took pictures of the most SOCIAL people at the wedding. The other photographer barely took enough pictures for the amount that I paid for her. Not to mention that quite a few photos that I heard she had taken, are no where to be found.

Cole asked one of my guests to dance. This caused a huge disruption! She was there with my husbands cousin. And he thought that it shouldn't have been a problem considering he had known her since the 4th grade. Hello!!!!! He was on my clock, my dime, and it wasn't his social hour. I paid for him and her to have a dinner break and gave him and her a guest meal instead of a vendors meal. At the end of my Wedding he said HE took over 2300 pictures, and that I should be able to look them over by the time I got back from my Honeymoon.

I got back from my honeymoon almost 2 weeks later and NOTHING was ready to look at. I called every 2 weeks until July 14th-> 15 weeks after I got married my pictures were finally put up for me to review. I called some weeks, for days, till I got a hold of someone. Sent emails that went non-returned. Until the 14th no one had told me that the computers got viruses and lost all my edits or that they reviewed my wedding 4 times. They edited my entire wedding in 1 day and edited it down to 1147 photos and that included the additional photographers photos of 330. 2630 pictures down to 1147 they said that over half (57%) of my pictures were repeats or couldn't be developed.

We talked to them about the unprofessionalism and they offered me a $100 dollar 16x18 canvas. 15 weeks!!!!! I mean can you believe it????? I told them what the hell was I gonna do with a Canvas that huge? They said well what would you like? We asked for our Copyright discs my name is spelled wrong! We asked for all the photos good, bad, and the ugly since I paid for unlimited photos. And they set up for us to get photobooks for our parents. But every time my parents went to look at the website it was down or they took my pictures off of it!

I did not get my pictures until Mid-October. They gave me the photos and expected for me to leave. I sat there and went through all 85 of my prints and 4 photo books. And gave them back 5 that were very poor quality! I figured I'd give them a few weeks to get my pics to me and then call. I've been calling for 2 weeks trying to get someone on the phone, only to find out tonight that they closed. This was the last straw!!! 8 months, 8 months, 8 months and I have still not received everything!

Everything was great!

i had cole/photo logan/dj and corey/video and they were all wonderful. they were very flexible and worked with me till i was happy. logan gave me cds of all the music he played and cole took tons of pictures in lots of locations and even allowed us to make suggestions and worked with us.

Cole took great pictures in a lot of different locations. He was very easy to work with. My only complaint is that I still don't have my CD and I want to print pictures badly!

These guys were completely awesome to work with! They defiantly have that creative eye my and my husband were looking for. Best of all, our pictures were online ready for us to view in no time! I recommend A+++++

I found them at a Wedding Show a year in advance. Cole and Katie were easy to work with. They are young and fun. My photos were online by Nov. and i had my prints and albumn by mid-Dec. It was fast and easy. Any questions i had, they could answer.

I must say I am very happy with my album and video. Katie and Cole really worked with me to make my album exactly what I wanted! The video was really neat to watch, the intro is amazing, it looks like a real movie! The pictures were very casual which was exactly what I wanted!

Book another company!!!!
The DJ (Cole) forgot to play our requested songs, and do special activities that we had discussed ahead of time. We had to remind him.
The DVD has my husband's name and our wedding date wrong. I have been calling them FOR A YEAR to get it fixed and they keep saying they will...but they haven't.
Our pictures were fantastic, but we had a photographer who has his own business and helps out at Weddings and Beyond when needed.

My friend also used them and the DJ forgot a cord to connect the speakers. They had NO MUSIC until a wedding guest came to the rescue.

Cole was our DJ...He was fantastic and really got everyone out on the dance floor!! We love Cole and would recommend him to anyone!! He also does photography & videography...an all in one deal!

It was wonderful working with Cole and his team. The services were a great value espeically when booking more than one at a time.

The guys here were great to work with and really listened to what we were looking for. They are younger and very easy going, but a breeze to work with! I would most definitely recommend them!
