Deserie has done my family's pictures for years. When we got married the choice was obvious. Her quality, unique eye, no nonsense business deals and timeliness make her a gem. I am so glad we found her. Quite simply she is the best.

Not only were the prices outstanding and VERY reasonable, Deserie's work was amazing too. Our photos turned out great. My husband and I got married at the County Recorder's and Deserie offered to stay with us for a few hours to capture our special day not only at the County but at Edward's Mansion too. Our wedding celebration with our family and friends will be in May, Deserie also provided our wedding photo celebration annoucements, which got great praise by everyone that received them. They turned out awesome! Deserie is great to work with and we will use her again for any up coming celebrations... Thank you so much, Elizabeth Eubanks

I am a breast cancer survivor and wanted to do a naughty/nice photo shoot. I am so amazed how I came out of my shell n how comfortable I felt! I have always wanted to do this but never had the guts! It was amazing! Thank you for giving me the confidence to bring out my inner sexy side and to go ahead and give my husband a gift that will make him very happy n last a lifetime! I would recommend photos 2 b desired to anyone who wants a very professional photo shoot at a reasonable price! Thanks again so much ! :-)

I fully enjoyed my photographer! It's important to feel at ease and comfortable with the one snapping shots of your day. If you do your planning yourself, meeting people and doing footwork gets very exhausting and frustrating. But wih photos 2B desired, I knew right away I was in safe hands! I have a variety of pictures that capture the beginning, middle, end and all the hilarious moments in between. Not to mention the price was totally in my budget!

As with today's time's our wedding needed to be within budget but a beautiful day. We searched for a photographer and posted a Craigslist ad in hopes an inspiring photographer would like the experience of photographing our wedding day. We received many responses, and ultimately chose Deserie with Photos2bdesired based on her portfolio, cost, friendliness, and desire to create a wonderful experience. The photo's and package we received were nothing less than perfect!A photo is a memory and one to be cherished, and I can truly say she only enhanced our very special day with her work that I'm very proud to display. If anyone is looking for a truly wonderful, professional, talented photographer..Deserie Marchbanks should be considered. I can assure you she will surely amaze you! Julie Jillson

Desire was a pleasure to work with. She coordinated with me and our client very well. She treated our bride and her family as if they were her own family. She's very professional and has the God given talent to capture the "moment". I look forward to working with her.
