    Wonderful Photographer!

    Of all the wedding vendors I had, Blooming Dreams Photo was my absolute favorite! Song is incredibly talented, organized, professional, creative, fun, and wonderful to be around. I am so so happy we found her to do our engagement photos and wedding! The turnaround was super quick, and looking through each photo and the highlights video made me laugh and cry happy tears. She really was able to capture such special moments so beautifully. She made me and my husband feel comfortable in front of the camera. She was prompt and detailed and went above and beyond to make the photos of our day a dream come true.

    Above & Beyond and then Some

    We had two main requirements in a photographer. We wanted to work with someone who not 1. only took stunning photos but more importantly, 2. could take documentary style photos that would accurately capture our wedding day so that years from now, when we looked at the photos, it would be like reliving the day all over again. We wanted someone who could capture genuine moments - the behind the scenes, the tears, the laughters, the fleeting glances from across the room. We searched high and low trying to find the “one” when we came across Blooming Dreams Photo. Song was an absolute DREAM to work with. Everything we wanted and more.

    From the first time we reached out to the last, Song was incredibly prompt in her responses not to mention so generous and kind when answering our endless questions. The in-person meeting put us at ease and our engagement photoshoot only solidified our confidence in her.

    On the day of the wedding, she was like the energizer bunny despite it being 6:30AM! She even took time to scope out possible photo shoot locations for us to make our day extraordinary. Our sneak peeks were ready the next day!!! And the entire photos and the included video was ready shortly after.

    Anyone can see from looking at Song’s portfolio that she is insanely talented. However, what sets her apart from the rest is not only is her work stunning, it has the ability to move you. A rare trait indeed.

    Her work ethic, dedication, creativity, and kindness knows no bounds. From making her own photography tools that elevate her work, to bringing her own props like sparklers to a sunset shoot, or including complimentary gifts, Blooming Dreams Photo truly goes above and beyond to make her clients feel special.

    What an amazing one woman show!

    We had the pleasure of having Song do our engagement shoot and wedding. I cannot give a higher praise to her work. She is prompt, and prepared, energetic and creative and can truly capture the moments. All of our family and friends were impressed with everything that she produced. She is a gem!

    From Second Photographer to Savior!

    I booked another photographer for my wedding and Song was initially the second photographer. However, Song showed up and was somehow everywhere, taking the most creative and beautiful pictures - she captured all of the special moments. My initial photographer never sent me her photos and after months of drama, I was able to get Songs photo card and contact her. She was horrified at my experience and after I dropped off the memory card (with half of her photos deleted) she turned around the most beautiful photos within a week. Apologizing along the way (despite the fact that she has absolutely saved the day and the most special memories from our wedding). A true professional, artist, and amazing human. I cannot recommend her enough - you will be in wonderful hands.

    Amazing photos!

    Song photographed our wedding and did an amazing job! She helped coordinate with us on which photos to take and was really organized and efficient. She made the photo-taking process really fun and we LOVE the final photos. They are a lot of fun/really sweet and captured our day perfectly. We loved working with Song and would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

    Love song!

    We couldn't have chosen a better photographer! Song not only did our engagement photos but our wedding on May 15, 2021! Not only do we love her, our family and friends adored her and talked about how great Song was. Thank you, Song for everything! You're the best!

    So kind and so talented!

    From start to finish our experience with Song was fantastic! Song was incredibly responsive, helpful and went out of her way to create wonderful memories of our wedding day. It ended up raining on our day and changing our picture location plans, but she was quick to come up with a solution and still give us beautiful pictures. We wanted to take photos in front of a mural we got engaged at, but due to the rain, we couldn't. So what did Song do? CRAFTED the mural out of felt and made it happen!! We can't explain how much that meant to us. I'm still in awe of the photos she took and am so thankful to have these memories forever. We received our photos earlier than anticipated, and she gave us the sweetest gift to hold onto them. She also made a video trailer of our day and we absolutely loved it. I cannot recommend Song enough!

    Joyful & Passionate

    Working with Song MADE my wedding day! She was so kind, so superior, and SO skillful before, during, and after our wedding day. She was very easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. Her smile and happiness honestly made me SO HAPPY. I personally received praise for the awesome attitude and savvy work ethic of Blooming Dreams Photo at the wedding ceremony and reception from numerous guests and family. Her generosity, humor, and creativity was very memorable and rare, in a great way. Song will always be recommended by me to anyone.

    Absolutely the best!

    Song is a wonderful person and an amazingly talented photographer. She was so flexible in working with our postponed wedding, and communicated with us through every step of the way. It’s apparent upon first meeting that she has a big heart and truly cares about the couples she works with. She captured our day so well - if we could do it all again, we’d choose her every time! Thank you SO MUCH, Song!

    Absolutely wonderful!!

    Song was the BEST!! My favorite wedding vendor to work with! We used her for both our engagement shoot and our wedding. She is incredibly responsive - like send an email at 8:30 get a response by 8:40 kind of responsive, haha! She's very kind, sweet, cheerful, and professional! And her photos are AMAZING! I chose her because she really captures the feel of the day! Emotions and memories beyond just the traditional posed photos you often get at weddings. Her attention to detail and creativity really shine! We have wonderful engagement and wedding photos that we will cherish for years to come. We loved her so much my parents also hired her to take my little sister's high school graduation/senior pics! We can't recommend Song enough!

    Best experience, most amazing photos

    My career involves a lot of event planning and Song is the BEST photographer I have ever worked with. She has that golden combination of great technical skill along with that certain "something" artistic talent. She is a true professional - organized, communicative, flexible, and a true joy to work with. You will be delighted at her attention to detail in the planning process and all the sweet little touches of things she sends in the mail and over email.

    My friends and family kept commenting on how hard a worker she was and how they couldn't believe how many beautiful photos we got out of the engagement session and the wedding. My mom kept lamenting, "I can't choose which photos to order, there are too many good ones!" My fiance was initially a skeptic of spending anything over $1k on a photographer but he has completely changed his tune. Song was worth every dime. She knows how to capture those beautiful spontaneous moments and to help everyone to relax and really open up in front of the camera. I just can't say enough good things about working with her!

    The Cecil Wedding

    Song was AMAZING!!! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer for my bridal or wedding pictures. All of them turned out beautiful! She is so creative when coming up with shots to take. She made an entire day of schedule for us and she stuck to it as best as she could. She got along with our videographers as well! Song knew exactly what she wanted and she came very prepared. I appreciated everything she did for us that day and I am in LOVE with our pictures!

    Must Have Photographer!!!!

    We found Song by googling photographers in your area. We did not know her but after reading reviews and looking at her website we decided to take a chance. She was absolutely amazing. Our photos could not have turned out better. She had us do some funny poses that I was a little skeptical about. Butttt, the pictures and short video turned out so good. She was so kind and easy to work with. We had our pictures back extremely quickly. While we were on our honeymoon she had already sent us the video of our wedding. You will not be disappointed. If you read her bio on her website it is 100% accurate. She went above and beyond to make sure she captured our wedding perfectly. Thank you Song.

    Truly Amazing

    Song was a dream to work with. From her bubbly personality to extremely quick responses to email (and I mean with in 15 minutes fast) to her little surprises in the mail to the props she brings for photos, she was wonderful. Our wedding photos were absolutely gorgeous. I don't think she stopped taking photos the entire day! I feel so blessed to have had our day captured the way Song did!!

    Amazing Experience & Pictures

    Song was absolutely amazing to work with. She constantly checked in on us while we were in the process of rescheduling our wedding due to COVID-19. We felt she truly cared about our wedding day and wanted to make it as special as possible. It rained off and on during but she figured it all out making sure we got all the shots we wanted and more. Our pictures turned out beautiful and if we lived in the Charlotte area we would be using her as our photographer for everything. We highly recommend using her!

    Song is so sweet and truly wants your day to be special. She goes out of her way to make sure that you will have beautiful pictures that will last a lifetime. She was fast with a preview and even surprised us with a cute video. I would definitely recommend Blooming Dreams to anyone looking for a photographer who is easy to work with and a great deal.

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    So Mrs. Song Johns was our wedding photographer and I’m telling you, she was hands down the best of the best of the BEST! She worked so hard the entire time and she is beyond talented and has so many amazing ideas for pictures! She showed up at like 8:00am and did not leave until late that night and was so much fun to work with! She literally felt like family at the end of the night. I will always be OBSESSED with our pictures! Literally everything that I wanted! I wouldn’t ever recommend anyone else but her! She’s truly amazing and the sweetest woman I have ever met and we truly love her to pieces! ❤️

    Incredible, Fun Photographer

    From the first time my husband and I spoke to Song, we knew that she was the wedding photographer we wanted. She was open to hearing what we wanted her to capture and had plenty of great suggestions of her own, plus she had previously shot at our venue, so hiring her was a no brainer. Since we lived across the country from our venue, we did not meet Song in person until the actual day of our wedding, but she was just as sweet in person as she had been on the phone.

    Her fun personality made everyone feel relaxed and she was able to truly capture how much fun everyone was having during our wedding. One thing that we love about our wedding photos is that not only are they gorgeous, but everyone looks genuinely happy. You can tell how much fun everyone was having, Song captured each moment perfectly. Song is an outstanding photographer and her eye for fun, creative shots is unbelievable. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is kind and it's truly evident that she loves what she does. I almost wish we could have another wedding just so we could hire her again!

    Wedding Photos of our Dreams!

    We used Blooming Dreams Photos for both our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Song was AMAZING to work with! She really captured our personalities in the shots and had so many creative ideas. When looking through our wedding photos we kept saying how we had no idea she was even around to capture a specific moment, look, or embrace and those are the pictures we cherish most! Aside from the pictures she created the most beautiful highlight reel of our special day saving us a fortune on a videographer. Song brought a second photographer along to capture the guys getting ready and that photographer was very professional and equally great to work with- great choice, Song! I'll definitely be using Blooming Dreams for my future photographer needs! Thank you so much for the beautiful life long memories!
