Excellent, Professional, High Quality

Mike and his team are absolutely the best and you cannot beat the quality of photos and experience they provide for their price. We had to downsize our wedding, change venues, and photo locations due to Covid-19. They were beyond flexible and helpful throughout this crazy time. The day of went perfectly/seamlessly and all of the moments I wanted and more were captured. I am booking Mike and his team again next year for our larger wedding and reception. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience

I first got in touch with Melanie from Basile's through facebook as I had a friend who had used this company for their wedding previously. Melanie was super helpful and responsive in assisting me with our planning process in early 2019. I must have reached out to 8 different photographers with questions about pricing, style, availability, etc. We agreed to a meeting at a local coffee shop where Melanie, Mike (the owner), my mom and I got together to look at their wedding albums. The next week my fiancee and I met with Basile's downtown to do an engagement shoot and sign our contract for the wedding. Our engagement photos came out amazing! We used a few photos for our save the dates. Melanie and Mike were great to stay in touch with the rest of the year as our wedding was on December 14, 2019. We met a few times leading up to the wedding and they were great in assisting me with coming up with a timeline, location for photos, and different kinds of shots. On the morning of the wedding, Mike, Melanie, and Emily arrived with plenty of time! We loved the fact that they provided us with two photographers and a third person to help direct the flow and people of photos. Mike went with the guys during get ready, and Melanie and Emily stayed with the girls. Emily even helped fix a dress when a zipper popped off! They were super kind all day long even through walking in the rain/snow a few blocks from the hotel to the venue. The day after our wedding, they posted about 5 photos for a sneak peak and it made me anxious to wait for the others because they were that good! We had all of our photos only 18 days after our wedding! Our photos turned out absolutely amazing and I can't thank them enough! I highly recommend Basile's for any kind of photography!!!

Awesome, helpful and great attention to detail

Mike, Melanie and Emily were great! They went above and beyond just photographing our special day. They were attentive and very kind! And the beautiful box and thumb drive we received was a bonus we weren’t expecting. Highly recommend!!

The perfect day

I loved working with Mike, Meliane and Emily. They covered everything from setting up each photo to making sure my dress wasn't dragging on the ground. Being a photographer myself I was very picky about choosing somebody for my own wedding and I was not disappointed.
Thank you for photographing my perfect day.

Wonderfully Easy

When I considered a photgrapher for my wedding I considered who would I want to hang out with for 8 hours. The team at Basilies not only took beautiful photos and captured every moment but were also a major support in making my day go as smoothly as possible!

It doesn't get any better!!

I struggled to find a photographer that was reasonably priced until I found framed for you. Not only was the price the best around you get a whole team! You get the amazingly talented photographers Melanie and Mike. In addition, Emily who I would describe as a facilitator she kept things moving for our wedding and had great input as well. I had the most amazing experience with all of them! It was like having family help you get ready for the day and capturing every special moment. For example, Emily helped me lace up my dress because none of my friends or family knew how to. Both Emily and Melanie offered their advice about little things when I was struggling to figure out what to do with certain parts of my wedding, such as having the best man hold the rings instead of the ring bearer. They were all extremely accommodating and considerate to having to travel to several venues that way we could create the photos I envisioned. Also, they were accommodating to all of the last minute changes that happened as we got closer to our big day and they always quickly replied back to me. As if my experience with them couldn't get any better they promptly sent me my edited wedding photos. I absolutely loved every photo and they did amazing job capturing everything a bride would want of her wedding day. Last but not least they gave me the most beautiful personalized gifts that held my amazing photos and videos of one of the best days of my life. It doesn't get any better than this amazing team!

Basile’s Photography is the BEST!

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Mike, Emily & Melanie! They did an excellent job organizing our large wedding party and even bigger family! We were very surprised to get our sneak peek pictures just 7 days after the wedding. One of the best parts was the custom made box with a photo from our wedding, a custom made flash drive containing all the pictures and videos and 3 cd copies! We’re so excited to give on to each of our families and share the pictures with everybody.
Highly recommend Basile’s for your wedding!!

Absolutely Amazing

Basile's was recommended to us originally by our venue and I am so glad I decided to look them up. We met with Mike and his daughter Melanie and I was thrilled. They are really professional, friendly, and approachable which is really important to me in a first impression. I cannot recommend Mike and his daughters enough. The pricing is phenomenal, there is no place else that comes close to their affordability. I mean in all seriousness I had three photographers at my wedding that is practically unheard of. We were able to get photos of both my husband and I getting ready, as well as my venue being set up. The girls were such a great help when I was getting ready.... I was at a total loss on how to bustle my dress and I had zero idea my dress had a handy loop to hold my train up. The turn around on my photos was fantastic and Mike has literally thought of every way possible for you to avoid losing your pictures. He literally gives you back ups of your back ups. The way he presents your photos to you is the best thing ever. I'm not going to ruin that one for you though. I have already recommended them to a friend that is getting married later this year. If I ever have need for a photographer I know who I am calling.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
