We LOVED working with Bernie Elking!! Our Engagement Session was free with the bridal package and we got a free signature mat, too! That session was fast and fun and the studio was very flexible in finding a time for the appointment. We got several great photos from that fun, quick shoot. The day of the wedding our photographer was FABULOUS!!! He stayed longer than contracted--with no extra fee--and took, literally, thousands of pictures. Creative, artistic, classic, elegant. All describe the photos we got while working with Bernie Elking. Photo credit policy is excellent! Great experience overall!!

This company was simply AMAZING! with the cost of photography reaching outrageous costs, this was the cheapest packages I could find, yet had a better porfolio than those exspensive companies! they were always helpful, the photographer I had was wonderful, so sweet and attentive! They had packages starting in the eight hundreds on up, but you didn't lose ANY quality when you go for the lower price. The pictures were amazing to say the least. I was so happy with this vendor and they come highly recommended from me!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
