Style and Class

Yvette is in the top of her game as a photographer. We have had so many compliments on our pictures. Our picture book was perfection and we will cherish these memories forever. She was kind and honored above and beyond what we asked for. A major highlight for us was we had asked to get some shots of our guests at the reception and she actually got all 300 guests in one shot. A picture we will forever cherish. From start to finish Yvette was the perfect photographer and we could not have asked for anything more. Thank you to Yvette for her talents and gifts.
