    She knows what she’s doing!

    We hired Ligia for our smaller scale wedding and the photos are everything we could have asked for! She captured a lot of emotion and details from the getting ready all the way to the ceremony. She was so patient and open to ideas. I highly recommend Brubaker arts!

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Thank you so much, Rachel, I am really happy to hear that your pictures turned out to your liking. :)

    Best Wedding Vendor I had!

    It was a lucky find. Their friend works with my mother. The pictures are excellent, service is without reproach and I am just thrilled that it worked out so well. The price is also beyond acceptable but to be honest, I believe this is one of the companies that could easily charge whatever they want. I honestly can't say enough good things about Ligia and her team.

    High Quality Experience and Results

    It is evident that Ligia and Bryan are both experts at what they do.
    Ligia introduced us to so much more poses that made our wedding album so much better! She even knew the best places in our venue to take good shots! She knows how to bring out the best in a simple spot that one may not think of as a photography spot! We didn't think of most of these poses or spots. Now without them, our album wouldn't have been as good.
    We had about 100 people in our wedding and we went with the package with a 2nd photographer (Bryan) with full event coverage and it was so worth it! We are so glad we found them and we are happy to support their small local business. All the vendors we had at our wedding were small local business owners as well. We are exceedingly happy with the results, from the photography to the digital photos and the physical album & prints & keepsake and how the pictures were printed. All are very high in quality! She definitely exceeded our expectations! She captured the ambiance of our wedding and we can relive it each time we look back at the photos she took.
    With Ligia's expertise, professionalism, and skills, any rate she charges will be worth it! She is a 5-star photographer!!

    She must be on Red Bull!!

    Ligia's service was amazing. From our first interaction to delivery, she was polite and did her best to make sure our package is what we need. She explained the advantages of true-color photography as opposed to the slightly over-exposed style we were interested in, and allowed us to make the choice we felt was best.
    As others have said, it is very visible that she worked with high-end groups back in Europe, she brought really high standards with her. We root for her company to grow and have already booked her for my parent's 25th anniversary party this summer.

    We've just got our pics - and I AM SOOOOO STOKED!!

    It's like re-living our wedding experiences - I just can't believe the quality of the images and how beautifully amazing our wedding album is!!
    Okay, we did go A LOT over my parent's budget - LOL - but we are among the very few Greek Orthodox Christians here in WA state, so we had to go over the board just a little bit with the glam; just to show that we can party too!

    So excited to get our photos!

    We got married last March and celebrated with a lot of friends and family.
    Ligia is GREAT to work with, and her team did the best to accommodate our other vendors.
    The pictures came out great, editing took only 45 days and we have 700 fantastic pictures that we'll happily show our kids as they grow up!
    We also purchased her photography guide that helped us SO MUCH with the wedding posing!!!
    Thank you, Ligia, you made this experience great for us!

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Hello Ireen, thank you so much for the kind words! So glad the guide helped you, I wish you both all the happiness in the world! :)

    Beautiful photos, so creative

    Ligia is wonderful! She was so professional, enthusiastic and creative and we felt she really captured the essence of our day. She came prepared with the notes we had emailed back and forth, had ideas of her own and was able to take advantage of photo opportunities on the fly. We had our photos back to us within a week of being married which are quality photos that we will cherish for years to come. Thank you Ligia!

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Thank you so much, Shae and Dustin, I am thrilled to hear how much you love the pictures. I wish you two many happy years together!

    Great Photographer!

    My mother in law hired Ligia for our wedding. Her prices are very decent and the quality of her services is a cut above the market. We love our wedding pictures! We highly recommend her for your future events.

    Californian wedding in Yakima

    Highly recommend!!! Planning our wedding in Yakima all the way from California was so stressful!!! You are never really sure what you get when you don’t meet people face to face, but we lucked out with Ligia! She was very sweet, answered all our questions, and we knew right from the start that, if we left the photography in her hands, we would not have to worry! We had spent a lot of time researching photographers, but continued to come back to Brubaker Arts; we found both cheaper and more expensive photographers in the area, but Ligia’s package deals were the best! We emailed Ligia and she was extremely easy to communicate with and was always honest and upfront on anything we weren’t sure about. We filled in a questionnaire as part of the contract, which helped her find out what style of photos we were looking for and also gave us the chance to make a list of shots we wanted.

    Thank you so much Brubaker Arts for your amazing work - we will be looking with great joy at our wedding photos for years to come!!

    Barbie doll bride loves her photos!

    If there is a bride who was an absolute pink barbie doll on her wedding that, that's me! And here is why this is important: our wedding photographer GOT IT! The atmosphere in the pictures is identical to the one at the wedding!
    I absolutely love my wedding pictures, can't wait to share them with my family and friends!

    Great service and amazing pictures!

    Brubaker Photography has done a great job with our wedding pictures. I am thrilled with the quality of the album, and the price / service is fantastic. Ligia speaks 5 languages fluently and is experienced with shooting in various churches, belonging to different faiths. We are Eastern Orthodox and the Priest loved how discreet she was. Search no more!

    Good service, good price

    My wife is really happy with our wedding pictures. I am happy as well. My parents and in-laws got albums as well. They look great.

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Hey Dustin, thank you so much for your review! It was a joy to be pat of your big day! Please send my greetings to Milana.

    P.S. - You have marked the date of your wedding for 2019. Not sure if you two would like to get married every year - if so, happy to help! Lol. (Yes, I know it's an easy to make kind of mistake, you're not the only ones! :) A good number of my customers last year did not click on 2018, so they appear as 2019 couples...)

    Best wedding gift ever!

    My in-laws paid for our photographer. I was thrilled because they found the photographer, made the arrangements, and we just enjoyed the picture-taking! I couldn't have made a better choice myself! This girl is fantastic. We had our pictures sooner than 60 days and we have beautiful matching albums for the bride, the groom and the wedding. We wanted one album that contains the bride's portrait, one that contains the groom's portrait and one that contains our entire wedding. She made it happen! Our in-laws chose the best photographer ever!

    Hey Jenn, thank you so much for your review! It was a joy to be... your present! :)

    Fast turnaround and good quality

    We thought about our wedding pictures as an investment. Ligia made such a great job, we are positive we couldn't have made a better choice!
    Her pictures are amazing, the light is great, the atmosphere comes alive through each one of the frames and she could not have been more friendly and discrete with our guests. She knew our wedding party by their names and everyone thought she was highly professional with the camera and in her interactions.
    If you are considering her for your wedding photography, you are making a wise choice!

    Happy with my choice

    Fast turnaround, good eye for details, good communication, patience with my children; basically, we've got all we wanted from our wedding package. The editing came out nicely. Ligia should charge a lot more than she does, based on her people skills and professionalism.

    Maddison & Kyle

    Right from our first meeting, Ligia was very open to hear our ideas and make sure we get the best deal for our wedding package.

    When Monte Cristo closed, Ligia called us with a list of 3 venues she thought we might like, based on what she had learned about our wedding style.

    Ligia is fun with the kids, she is super discrete, our guests didn't even notice her, she put all her heart into our wedding and the result shows that, for sure! She is everything you could wish for.

    I do not usually leave reviews, but I thought I should definitely mention that our photographer was the highlight of the wedding. She managed to capture our wedding's atmosphere. We couldn't be happier!

    Best value for money

    Ligia worked with me at customizing my wedding package. I think my wedding was less luxurious, but it was warm and happy. We are pleased to say that we were really happy with the services she provided. My sister booked her at my wedding, for her 2020 wedding, that was funny. :)

    Great experience!

    What an amazing experience we had with our wedding photographer! We walked to our bridal photo-shoot feeling nervous and lost and within minutes she made us feel at ease. She is extremely professional but also makes you feel like you’ve been life long friends! Even my husband is thrilled that we took couple shoots between the ceremony and the party, although he was really hard to convince! Her skills behind a camera are truly unbelievable! Her guidance and direction made us feel as if we were pros at modeling and her compliments during the shoot made us feel like the most beautiful couple in the world! I highly recommend her!

    Such a great experience!!!

    She did such a great job on my bridal shoot. And I got my pictures back pretty quick. I can’t wait to see how my wedding pictures come out. She is so friendly and has great customer service. I always recommend her to everyone looking for a photographer.

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Inter-racial wedding

    We had a blast inviting our guests from my family's side, from Africa, to dance at our wedding. They made such an impression on our American guests (my wife's family), it was just amazing to see their reactions! I thought it was a once in a lifetime experience, but Ligia captured the moments SO WELL, we relive those moments every time we look at our pictures. We LOVE LOVE LOVE her work! Highly recommended!

    Camera-shy

    For a camera-shy bride, I came out extremely outgoing and flirtatious! I L.O.V.E. IT!!! This is all Ligia's work, I am really shy and unless she would have been as funny and as playful as she is, our pictures would have been a disaster!!! Highly recommend her!!

    Our Wedding Photographer

    I know everyone says their wedding photographer is the best, but we really lucked out finding Ligia! I have read in the reviews that she actually picks up her phone even after the payment is made, and that is SO accurate! I have always gotten a reply to my e-mails and calls within 3 minutes - 5 hours, which I think it is fantastic! All our requirements were met and the pictures look fabulous!

    Best experience ever

    We have been shopping around a lot for a wedding photographer. I think this was the hardest decision, because you never know what kind of persons are behind these profiles. I have a friend who had to sue her wedding photographer because the wedding photographer was a scammer, she was taking the money and the pics and never deliver the pics. So I was really nervous about having some weirdo over at our wedding who would scam us.
    But no. This young lady is absolutely amazing. We really did have our wedding pictures within 60 days (actually, it was closer to 50). She was VERY professional, didn't stand out at all, and to be honest, I don't even know when or how she took the pictures because I barely saw her. She was perfectly camouflaged and did not disturb our guests at all. I absolutely loved this about her.
    I will strongly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer.

    Brubaker Arts's reply:

    Hi Patton - thank you for your review! So kind of you to write such a detailed review! Thank you! I hope you were able to dry your wedding bouquet roses for potpourri, like you planned to. :)
