    Bruce has been great to work with. We're planning our Cleveland wedding from out-of-town, but Bruce has made this whole process easy on us, even going as far as to shoot our engagement photos on a Sunday morning when we couldn't find another day to make it into town. His engagement photos were exactly what we wanted, and I can't wait to see our wedding photos!

    As a wedding coordinator at a large church in Elyria, I would always smile and sigh a big sigh of relief when I saw that Bruce was the photographer. I cannot honestly rate all the aspects of his work, so I opted to rate all 5/5 based on his presence at the church and his professionalism before, during, and after the ceremony itself. Bruce has a way of putting everyone at ease during a stressful time. He is respectful of the church and the religious customs. You won't see him popping up and down during a quiet ceremony to capture pictures at an inappropriate time. He never left his equipment sitting on a pew in plain sight for all to see when they entered the church. He dresses appropriately and SMILES constantly. I was not allowed to recommend vendors to brides, but if they ASKED me for some suggestions, I always told them about Bruce Bishop.

    Bishop Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. :)

    I planned my wedding from out of state, so I was not familiar with all the beautiful areas of Cleveland. Bruce had so many wonderful ideas for our pictures at places I would not even thought of. Such as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the baseball stadium and the fountain at the art museum. One of my favorite picture is down by the water at Voiniviche Park.

    My husband and I hired Bishop Photography over a year and a half before our wedding. We were very impressed by their work and they had fun, energetic "people skills" that we didn't find with anyone else. During this time period, I had read many reviews about the quality of their service, which honestly made me a little nervous. However, everything was absolutely perfect. I met with Laurie twice before the wedding. Once to work on the details for our amazing slideshow she put together and the second to go over locations, etc. for the day of the wedding. Laurie showed up early to each location and did a fantastic job. Our limo driver wasn't the best, and we only had 20 minutes for our outdoor pictures and she made it happen! We probably took over 150 pictures at that location and they were stunning. After the returning from our honeymoon- we immediately had a link to view our photos online and a week later I picked up all of my proofs and DVD of all of the pictures.

    Despite what may have happened in the past, I HIGHLY reccommend Laurie Bishop of Bishop Photography. She took care of everything before, during, and even AFTER the wedding.

    Bruce Bishop of Bishop Photography was absolutely wonderful to work with. My entire wedding party was so glad to work with someone who made taking pictures in 20 degree Cleveland weather tons of fun. He had great ideas for some truly unique and awesome pictures that I haven't seen done anywhere else. He kept us all laughing and having a great time to create some truly memorable photos of our special day. His assistant was awesome in helping me with my 13 ft. train- an extra member of the wedding party pretty much! She was great!! The most awesome thing was the slideshow that they put together for the reception of all the day's pictures so that everyone could get a preview of the wonderful pictures. Bishop Photography made our wedding day truly special and I am so grateful to them! Did I mention he even posted stuff to my facebook page before I walked down the aisle?? He was great!

    ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL! Laurie and Bruce were so easy to work with. Laurie was our photographer for our wedding and she did such creative, spectacular work. All of the guests were so amazed at the pictures. Laurie and her assistant were so professional and really captured every special moment in a very creative way. They came to the salon in the morning, followed us to my house while I got dressed, shot at the ceremony, all of our locations in between, and stayed to take pictures at our reception. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer... I haven't seen all of the pictures but I'm positive they'll turn out great! She even helped take the bridal party to the reception site when our bus broke down. She listens to exactly what you want and makes you feel so comfortable. Laurie was SO easy to get along with and it really shows that she loves what she does. Their prices were so reasonable - the work that they do is priceless and I really think you get a great deal for everything Laurie and Bruce offer. I can't say enough about Bishop Photography. I will and have recommended them to many people!

    They did a fantastic job on our wedding. Laurie was so much fun to have around. All of our images turned out awesome and the digital show at the reception was amazing. Our guests kept telling us how great the pictures were! They are easy to work with and give you a lot for your money. We just love our album, it is beautiful! We would recommend Bishop!

    I would highly recommend Bishop Photography to anyone for their wedding. Not only are they extremely economical, but very friendly as well. Your photographer is the vendor that you'll spend the most time with on your wedding day - you'll want to be around someone who does there job well, is friendly, and not in your face forcing you into pictures that aren't natural. Bishop Photography is the epitome of all of these things. I adore our pictures - and you get a tremendous amount with each of the packages that they offer. They were very flexible and professional. My sister even made the comment that she forgot they were there, because they were so unintrusive. I fully plan on returning to them for all of our family photos. They're the best!!

    Laura and Bruce were so amazing, I interviewed so many photographers and they were all so expensive and had so many guidelines with time and amount of pictures you could purchase. Laura and Bruce are a husband and wife team. If they aren'y double booked, they are both able to be present at the wedding taking pictures which was how it worked for my wedding. They took our engagement pictures as well. Everyone said that they had never seen photography that amazing. There wasn't one bad picture in the entire album. No matter what package you chose, they will be with you all day and they do not copyright their images. She does not limit the amount of pictures you can take, she literally gives you and album and a cd with all of you pictures. And it is very inexpensive if you take them to her to get blown up. They were amazing and anyone looking for a good, inexpensive photographer should go to them!

    Excellent photography, and they do not keep the copyright on wedding photos. A monitor displayed photos taken earlier during the reception, and all of our guests commented on how good the photographs were, even better than their own weddings. All film negatives and many digitals from the ceremony and before the reception were part of every photo package. There were only a few things that were disappointing. First, that some of the requested poses were not taken, including a shot with my family (my husband's family had theirs taken), even though it was brought up at one point to be taken at the reception since it was missed at the church. The second is leaving earlier than expected without letting us know or asking if any other pictures were needed/wanted. Thr last is missing a portrait appointment before the wedding, and not calling to let us know they would not be at the studio for it. Unavoidable things come up, but there was a note from another person who had an appointment on the door. Other than what I'm guessing are flukes that we experienced, I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat.

    They did a nice job and were very helpful throughout the day. Pictures were nice. Wished we had more candids but very good overall would recommend them.

    Customer service is absolutely awful. It is very difficult to get someone on the phone and when I do I'm given a new story as to why my order is still not ready.

    Bishop Photography was by far my LEAST favorite vendor from our Wedding! I am still waiting on the wedding album I purchased. Each time I call I'm told it will be done in 2-3 weeks. I've been calling Bishop since October 2009 and its now May 2010 and I still don't have my album!!
