    Amazing Photobooth!

    We had the photobooth at our wedding, our guests loved it! We got to pick our own backgrounds and we even got a scrapbook of all of the pictures taken with notes from the guests. We got the scrapbook at the end of the night! It’s the best photobooth I’ve seen, you get a 4x6 picture printed out right after you have your picture taken! They even provide cute and funny signs as well as props like boas and big sunglasses, it’s really fun! I highly recommend Kurt’s photobooth! He’s also an amazing photographer! He made sure my dress was fluffed perfectly. He even notices the smallest details like the clasp of my necklace. Definitely a great photographer!

    Excellent and Thorough

    We are so glad that we went with Kurt for our wedding. He did a marvelous job. I already knew him from doing such a great job with my senior pictures (and baby pictures) and felt very comfortable working him throughout the entire process. The engagement photos which were included in the package we purchased were a nice way to become familiar working together and we loved how they turned out. On the wedding day itself, Kurt is with you for every step of the way trying to get great, unique shots that you will love. He even found a security person at the zoo and asked them if we could use the carousel. Our guests all loved the green screen and that they got printed copies of the photos. You get to pick 6-7 backgrounds and there are lots of props available. Kurt's staff also makes a really neat scrape book with the pictures for your guests in the photo book that they sign. We LOVED how the photos turned out and would highly recommend Kurt for wedding and other professional photography needs!

    The BEST photographer ever!

    There’s a reason Kurt Nielsen photography wins awards year after year and it’s because Kurt is the best!! We purchased the Complete Wedding Package which included the engagement photo session, up to 12 hours of wedding day shooting and the photo booth with a scrapbook for everyone to sign and put pictures in. Kurt was really great at managing our big bridal party of 20 people including us, he kept us focused to get great photos even after being on a party bus which isn’t an easy task! He was so good with kids and getting our ring bearers to laugh or smile for pictures. He captured every moment and what I love so much is that when he gives you your pictures, he gives you every single shot he took! You can tell that Kurt knows what he is doing and has been doing this for a long time. I highly recommend him and the complete package as well. Our guests loved the photo booth and props! The cool part is it will print off a photo for every person in the picture and an extra one for them to put in your scrapbook you get to take home that night after your wedding day. We got to pick different backgrounds for the guests to choose from for the green screen. The sky is the limit when it comes to different backgrounds to choose from! The turn around time of getting our wedding photos was fast. He even included all the digital pictures from the photo booth too. I highly recommend him to trust for your wedding photos!!! :)

    The Best in Town!

    Kurt is the best! I am so glad we choose him to photograph our wedding. He doesn’t miss a thing, and he is super easy to work with. He does a great job wrangling the wedding party for pictures, and makes the whole process easy. Our pictures came out beautifully, and there were so many to choose from for prints. I can’t imagine working with anyone else!

    More than we could imagine

    We used Kurt for our photography and we also used the photobooth. Every moment of the day was captured, from the salon until the last song of the night. The photobooth was a huge hit and we loved looking back at everyone using it the whole night. Our pictures were perfect and Kurt kept all the stress away every step of the way!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Ashley for your kind words. I had a great time capturing all of the moments of your and Cody's day. Not even a train derailment could have kept me away....lol. Thank you for choosing me to help preserve your wedding memories.

    Book Kurt!

    Kurt was great to work with! He is the whole package. From engagement pictures to the very end of our reception Kurt was there. We also had his photo booth and portable photo booth which were a huge hit at our wedding. He is very friendly and fun to work with. Highly recommend! Thank you Kurt for helping to make our special day a huge success!

    Book with Kurt!

    Kurt did such an amazing job, he is a true professional! He not only helped direct us and keep us on time during the entire wedding day, but he captured some great moments and was so much fun to work with. His reputation proceeds him for a reason, he is incredible at what he does. We appreciate everything you did for us!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words Brian. It was truly my pleasure capturing your proposal to Brianna during your photo shoot with Sadie at Side Cut, and then your beautiful wedding and reception in May. Brides and Grooms like you two make my job easy! Thanks again for allowing me to be a part of your love story!

    Kurt was absolutely amazing!

    Kurt was absolutely wonderful to work with! He did both our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out better than we could have hoped for! Kurt had so many awesome ideas for our wedding party photos which I had been worried about because we had a very large wedding party. He kept our entire group focused and on time for the reception and we had a blast! We even worked in an extra stop for photos last minute! We also used Kurt’s photo booth at our reception and our guests had a blast with it. For months after our reception our guests would rave about how fun it was an how great their photos turned out! We had so many photos of our reception, it was as if we didn’t miss a minute of it! Every single guest was pictured. We couldn’t have asked for better! I can’t say enough about how awesome Kurt was! By far the best Toledo has to offer!

    The Greenscreen and Travel Photobooths are a MUST!!

    We used the green screen photo booth and the walking photo screen at our 8/4/18 wedding and they were both such HITS!! Kurt and team were AMAZING an all the guests were raving about the free 4x6 prints or texted photos (depending which booth) and the variety of props! As the bride and groom we received a CD with all the pictures taken and laughed at so many of them. You could tell everyone was just having a good time! Kurt seemed to know exactly who to capture together on the mobile booth, too. I would highly recommend Kurt's Kustom Keepsakes as an addition to your wedding or event!!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Hi Brandi,

    Thank you for your kind words. Your wedding was fun and I'm glad I could surprise you and Jordan with my Walk-About Social Booth. Your family especially loved the background of the pier where you guys were engaged. Thanks for having us be a part of your special day.

    Simply Perfect!

    Kurt was the perfect photographer for our wedding from start to finish!! He made our engagement session so fun and easy, we knew we made the right choice. Kurt was there for our entire day, photographing every memory! Multiple people commented what an amazing job he did for our June wedding, and I agree!!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Hi Alex and Steven,
    Thank you for allowing me to capture the moments of your wedding day. Your engagement session at Sidecut was fun and it was great going back for wedding photos there as well as the fun ones we took at Mr. Freeze! Thank you for your kind words and I hope we see each other again soon!

    Outstanding!

    Kurt was sp amazing to work with and we knew from the start that he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding. He has known my husband his whole life and even took his baby pictures when he was little so it was a no brainer that we wanted Kurt as our wedding photographer!

    Kurt was an incredible choice for our wedding. On our wedding day, it seemed like Kurt was always everywhere at the exact right time to capture all the right moments. He made the photo taking process fun and low key! Our photos are absolutely breath-taking - it's so hard to pick which ones we want printed because we love them all!!!! The photobooth was also a major hit at our reception - everyone was lining up for photos, they loved the backgrounds, props, and unlimited prints. The guestbook with photobooth photos was also extremely unique and much more meaningful than a regular guestbook.

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Michelle (and Paul). Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and Lauren from A Charming Fete did a fabulous job planning your garden-inspired vision of your dream wedding. Thank you for allowing me to capture all of the moments. I'm sure I will see you again soon!

    Kurt was amazing from start to finish. He listened to our ideas and gave a fresh perspective. He was there for all of our important moments at the wedding but was not “ in the way” or obtrusive. He had a way of making the kids smile and partipate. My guests loved the photo booth and still talk about how fun it was. I highly recommend Kurt to any Bride or groom!

    We had so much fun with Kurt! He was great getting me to relax and just enjoy the day with all my family and friends. My husband and I loved everything he took! The photo booth was a huge hit! We will treasure these memories forever and can’t thank him enough!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you Kelli and Joe. Your wedding was a blast. Even though I am a buckeye through and through, it was pretty cool getting to take those pics inside the big house! Thank you for allowing me to capture the moments of your big day!

    We just got back from picking up our wedding photos and couldn't be more happy! His package included our engagement photos, all day for our wedding, a photo booth, all printing rights to all photos, and a slideshow. Kurt is easy to talk to and definitely made us feel comfortable. It was a little muddy the day we took our engagement photos but he was prepared with a towel to sit on. He did a great job of getting posed and kandid photos at the wedding. He didn't get in our way and we didn't even realize he took several of the photos that he did. I was so happy we choose him since we didn't get a videographer because he was there from when we arrived at the salon in the morning until the DJ stopped at the end of the night. The guests loved the photo booth and he provided an abundance of props . His pricing is also very reasonable. I would highly recommend him. We will definitely be using him for any future professional photos we have done.

    Kurt has been taking pictures for my family for many years. I knew when I got engaged that I wanted Kurt to be the photographer for our wedding and I was so excited when I knew he would be able to be there! As always Kurt was extremely professional and wonderful to work with! He had great idea's for different photographs throughout the day that I would have never thought of and because I that we will have many wonderful memories to look back on from that day. Kurt got our photo's to us quickly after the wedding and they turned out beautifully! I couldn't have asked for anything better!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you Sarah. It was truly an honor to be able to photograph your wedding. And it was a pleasure getting to know the newest member of the family (Nick).

    We found Kurt to understand what WE wanted and he delivered on that promise. He was on-time and professional. You will find that he is creative, flexible, and has a can-do-attitude that will provide a calming influence to you and your wedding party. He is an excellent photographer. You won't be disappointed.

    Kurt is a slam dunk hire for photography and photo booth needs. He's a hustler who ensures he doesn't miss a shot/angle. I'm a wedding DJ and see a lot of photographers.....Kurt is best of the best.

    Kurt was amazing every time we met with him. I first fell in love with his photo booth and how cool it was. You get 4 by 6 prints and get to pick the backgrounds. I then went to a bridal show in 2015 and we signed with him right away. He works so hard every time he meets with you. He explains that his job is to capture your wedding day and wow he really did. A lot of my guests made comments about how hard he worked that day and how amazing the photo booth was. When we got our photos and the dvd of all our photos to music; we were speechless. The photos were amazing. If you tell him what you want he does it. He is very easy to work with. We forgot to get our thank you picture and he was already in his van talking to us and I told him and he got out and took a few at midnight that night and he had been there since 10:30am. I would recommend him to everyone. His time and photos are worth what you pay for them and my package included engagement photos too. We really liked all the pictures there wasn’t one we didn’t like. He got more than 1000 pictures on our wedding day. When you have him as a photographer you don’t need a videographer or a second photographer. He does it all on his own. His staff that worked the photo booth were awesome too they had fun with my guest and made the photo booth more fun. We got our photo book from the photo booth with everyone’s pictures in it that night;) It was a night to remember and we have all these photos to look back at and remember it by;) We will definitely go to Kurt when we need photos taken ;) Thank you to Kurt and his staff for capturing our day.

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thanks for your kind words Kim and Ron. With how well everything turned out, you would have never known it was 90 degrees that day! You were definitely troupers keeping your dress and tux on the whole day! My team and I had a great time and were very honored to be a part of your special day! Thanks again, and I hope to see you guys soon!

    Kurt goes above and beyond! He was able to capture all the memories if our engagement, rehearsal and wedding exactly how we imagined it. Couldn't ask for a better photographer!

    Kurt Nielsen Photography's reply:

    Thank you Ashley and Eric! Charlevoix was the perfect setting for your destination wedding and I couldn't have been more honored to be a part of it. I just wish the weather would have cooperated a little more! At least the rain held off for the ceremony and pictures! Thanks again for such kind words!

    Kurt was absolutely awesome! He photographed our wedding in March of 2017! He is professional, personable, on-point, and fun to work with. Kurt was flexible with taking photos where ever we wanted and offered great suggestions. Kurt was also available any time we wanted a moment captured at our reception. I would look up to find Kurt....and he would already be on it. Our pictures turned out beautiful too! I highly recommend him and will book him for future events as needed.
