    Ampersand was one of if not the best experience of my whole wedding. Francesca and Nichole were fantastic and were super personable and made my husband and I feel so comfortable and beautiful. They also made us beautiful invitations. I feel like this was some of the best spent money we got a lot with our package and it was all worth it.

    Frannie is great fun and incredibly talented! I know she will get the shots and it's a great feeling to be able to trust such important moments to be seamlessly captured!

    Our wedding planner recommended Ampersand, and we were sold after looking at their portfolio. My husband and I hate having our photos taken, but Nichole made everything a breeze. She was amazing to work with- she made us feel relaxed and created a safe, fun atmosphere for our wedding photos. Even more impressive, she had a gift with children and got them all laughing and smiling for photos! Just book with them; you won't regret it!

    We had a great experience with Nichole and Fran from ampersand: they were professional, skilled, and fun to work with. Also got custom invites and thank you notes from them, which were great! LOVE LOVE our pictures from the big day.

    Not only were my pictures gorgeous, Nichole and Frannie were extremely helpful during my wedding day. They were on top of everything- even in areas my wedding coordinator wasn't! They made my day stress free and calmed my nerves!

    These girls were amazing! Nicole was wonderful, she went above and beyond even helping fix my makeup after my new husband smashed a cupcake in my face :) We would definitely recommend Ampersand Studios to anyone, they are worth every penny and the images turned out gorgeous.

    Ampersand ROCKS! They have a unique vision on the photos they take. They helped the day flow the way it was supposed to. The few sneak peaks they gave us were amazing and we can't wait to see all our wedding pics. They have also taken other pics in the past for us! Will highly recommend them!

    Nichole Schoener and Frannie Wilson at Ampersand Studios are the best! I met them a year before my wedding at my two BFF's weddings and I KNEW I wanted to work with them. They are professional, funny, and down to earth ladies that can work a camera like no other. Ampersand Studios shot our engagement photos, wedding and reception photos, as well as a private boudoir sesh for myself, well, really for my husband =) I always felt comfortable and relaxed during the photo shoots. They also created our Save-the Dates, wedding invitations, reception cards, RSVPs, place cards, menus and all things paper. The entire staff at Ampersand comes strongly recommended and highly loved! Book them ... you'll see =)

    The Ampersand girls are incredibly talented photographers as well as wonderful people. I had the honor of them shooting my wedding and I couldn't have dreamt it to turn out as well as it did! Thank you Nichole and everyone else for everything!

    I cannot say enough about Ampersand! One of my first decisions that I made during the wedding planning process was the photographer...and it was absolutely the best decision ever! From the moment that I met Nichole, she was friendly, personable, professional and made a genuine effort to find out about us as a couple and what we were looking for in photography for our wedding. I was so impressed with her and their samples, that I immediately booked them on the spot!

    Not only was Nichole our photographer for our engagement shots and the all-important wedding day, but she also designed our invitations and our signage for the wedding day. The invitations were a GORGEOUS custom letterpress design...we received (and are still receiving!) so many compliments on the invitations. During the design process, Nichole was so responsive to any of my edits and made sure that it was exactly what we were looking for!

    The day of, Nichole and her 2nd photographer were amazing to work with....so many guests commented on how they felt like the photographers were literally everywhere and yet nowhere (blending in) at once. Nichole kept the entire day so fun and happy...even taking tons of pictures in 93 degree heat ! :)

    We just received our proofs from the wedding day and are literally BLOWN AWAY!! We have SO many gorgeous shots that it is going to be impossible to choose what we want for our albums. We are absolutely in love with our pictures!!

    If you are considering any other photographer, don't. Ampersand (especially Nichole) is hands down the best! Not only is the work absolutely amazing, but you instantly feel like you have been friends for years and that makes all the difference in getting great shots that look REAL!

    The girls at Ampersand are AMAZING! Besides taking beautiful pictures and creating wonderful invitations/programs, they are just great to be around. They come with so much energy that its contagious. I loved how professional they were but still had fun and made picture taking much more enjoyable. I would love to have pictures taken again by them and would recommend them to everyone!

    Very pleased with my wedding photo results! Nichole is so artistic and creates beautiful shots. Any and every question I had before the wedding was answered within hours. I always felt like we were in constant contact and that was such a nice feeling- she took care of everything!

    Ampersand is the absolute BEST! They were so fun, and creative, and willing to work with me even though I was on a tight budget. I could not be happier with my engagement and wedding photos! They turned out to be everything I hoped for and more. However, nothing compares to the amazing experience that I had working with these girls. They made everything so easy and fun and I cannot thank them enough for such a wonderful experience! I would refer anyone to them because in my opinion there is NO ONE better!

    I had an amazing experience with Ampersand Studios, the photographers are so easy to work with and took great pictures. We were away at college during most of the planning process and they made it so easy for us to make any last minute decisions and really made everything so simple. During the wedding day they were fabulous, they played a low profile, but yet got all the pictures we could have ever wanted. I would recommend them to anyone!

    It was a crisp autumn afternoon much like today, I was meeting my soon-to-be Bride, Mandy, at Starbucks to meet two young gals she had fallen in love with at the wedding show a short time earlier.
    When I arrived I thought that Mandy had ran into some friends of hers before our meeting with the photographers, but little did I know it was Francesca & Nichole from Ampersand who she was gabbing away with as if they had been friends for fifty years.
    From that day on Francesca & Nichole were beyond amazing taking care of us with all of our needs, desires & demands.
    We quickly shot an excellent engagement session we were very happy with. They helped make wonderful Save The Date Cards which were loved all around. Francesca and Nichole were ready and willing to answer our questions, bounce around ideas and anything else we needed promptly and professionally. They were flexible, helpful, knowledgeable & grateful.
    When the time came for our wedding, they were quick to respond with feedback and were flexible with last minute changes, an overall wonderful duo to work with. They worked with the DJ excellently as well as the wait staff to set up photo opps and they stayed later than was originally planned without a moment of hesitation.
    The photos came out amazing, the photo-booth was the coolest thing that any of our guests had ever seen, it was truly a smashing hit.
    The two photo albums we received were excellent, they presented us a wonderful mock up and helped us with every change we made and they came out great. The proofs were amazing, and printed out look excellent.
    Francesca & Nichole with Ampersand are, in our honest opinions, the best option in the area to work with for many different reasons.
    Their style, class, professionalism, work, talent, fun, and many more adjectives/nouns are the reasons we already have referred others to them and will continue for as long as they care to keep working with anyone who admits to associating with the two of us.
    Their photography work is amazing, their style and attitude is refreshing & their friendship is real.

    Thanks - Dan & Mandy Winans

    The ladies at ampersand studios were amazing to work with for our wedding, on our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. They were professional and made the shoots very fun and relaxing. Not to mention their work was amazing and they were very helpful when we couldn't decide which pictures or designs we wanted for our books. We let them design the whole thing and it turned out better than we could imagine!

    We were SO pleased with Ampersand! We absolutely LOVED our photos (both engagement and wedding) and had a great time working with Nichole and her assistant. We were impressed by how thoroughly they captured our special day and yet we hardly noticed they were there. We enjoyed the creativity of the shots and uniqueness of angles. Would highly, highly recommend Ampersand!

    We loved Ampersand! They have amazing talent and were so fun to work with. Very professional and made our event and days leading up to it enjoyable and fun! We will forever cherish the memories from our wedding day, thanks to all of their hard work! They made everything easy, stress free and enjoyable. The phoyography alone was outstanding and the stationary pieces they created for us were above our expectations.

    Ampersand Photography was fabulous to work with. They let me really get creative and involved in thinking about the photo shoot - especially with our engagement session. Nicole always had something sweet to say, and they provided great support for my millions of questions. They also added some wonderfully sweet extra touches like sending a small Christmas gift the holiday after our wedding and sending a gift card to frozen yogurt the month before the wedding. Nicole is someone I consider a friend as well as the most amazing photographer ever.

    I loved these photographers! They were friendly and professional, and my guests felt very comfortable with them. They also had two photographers available for our wedding, so we didn't miss a single moment.
