Best Choice I made

I was finishing getting ready when I saw Brett & his team walking up the driveway, right on time for our wedding. I instantly became nervous as it felt like the true start of events, having a camera on me non-stop. But when Brett walked into the room it was as if everyone became calmer in his presence. His kind, soft-spoken manner radiated positive vibes into the room. The entire team introduced themselves to everyone in the room and then instantly felt like they were part of the family watching the events. Everyone was so polite, hard working, personal and punctual. When I had to change my venue last minute, they went with the flow without complaint. Our guests were engaged and Brett made a point to make sure at the end of each event there were not any specific pictures missed. The whole team encouraged us to live in the moment and our photos reflect the happiness of every minute. I could not be happier with my photos, I do not believe anyone else could have captured exactly what I wanted with such ease and only a virtual meeting beforehand. Hands down the best photo/video team ever!!

Making The Moment is Unmatched!

Choosing Making the Moment as our photo and video team was an absolute NO-BRAINER!

From the very beginning of the planning process, their team truly took the time to get to know my soon-to-be husband and me as a couple. They learned about our families, our closest friends, and what mattered most to us, and it showed in every photo and frame of video. The end result was beyond anything we could have hoped for.

They were incredible at listening to our wants and needs and turning them into pure magic. On our wedding day, they were calm, prepared, and completely professional, which made everything feel effortless. Dagna (video) and Vince (photos) were an absolute joy to work with and were so fun, easygoing, and talented.

When you are planning a wedding, having vendors who communicate clearly and truly understand your vision is everything. Brett and his team are unmatched in this area. We are so grateful for their thoughtfulness, positive energy, and top-tier work. We could not recommend Making the Moment more highly!

Cheers,
The Reids

Amazing Pics from an Amazing Artist

Brett and his team did an incredible job with our wedding photos! From the start of the process he felt like part of our family, and that feeling continues to this day. I cannot recommend Making the Moment enough! 10/10, would definitely work with again!

Best Wedding Photography Team

We are thrilled we chose Making the Moment (MTM) as our wedding photography team! They truly went above and beyond to capture every precious moment of our crazy Indian/Western fusion wedding weekend. Their creativity shone through in every shot, from the candid moments to the stunning Bollywood shots to the crazy dancing. The chemistry between us, Brett, Vince and the entire MTM team was incredible — They made us feel comfortable and at ease, allowing our true emotions to shine through in the photos. The pictures are wonderful, and we are forever grateful to MTM for their dedication and talent in preserving our memories so beautifully.

A must-book photographer for any event.

Brett, Shana, Katie, and the entire Making the Moment team are fantastic! We found them from a recommendation of our venue, The Arcade, and we could not be more grateful! The entire company is professional and responsive. Brett guided us through the entire process and worked with us to create a timeline of the day, making sure to get our input, as well as adding in his expertise. Everyone told us one of the most important things we'll have after the wedding are the photos, so be sure to get a good photographer. We certainly got the best! Brett was a joy to work with, and even better - the photos are everything we dreamed of and more! I can not recommend this company enough!

Could Not Recommend Making the Moment MORE!!

I could go on & on about Brett and the entire Making the Moment team. I mean, talk about the ultimate hype team! They made me feel so beautiful and calm. And I think the best part about working with them was that I never ever felt rushed or like I was on someone else's time. Anything I asked for, they made possible. My now-Husband and I first met with Brett in December of 2020 and had the most wonderful time chatting with him. From there, we did not look for a single other photographer. His work was exactly what we were looking for - timeless, artistic, unique and he has this amazing abaility to capture his couples in their purest form. I feel like our wedding portfolio (engagement session + full-day coverage of our wedding) perfectly captures my relationship and I couldn't be more grateful to them for being there on our day. It just felt like we were hanging out with our friends all day with Brett and his team.

Masterful artistic talent paired with genuine warmth, enthusiasm, and personal connection.

Making the Moment became part of the family. The team's highest standards of excellence were on full display throughout the wedding weekend, as they rolled with the punches of folks running late or nowhere to be found at call time. There was never any question that we were in the best possible hands, with a team that was deeply invested in the people, relationship dynamics, and emotions behind the shots. It is no surprise, then, that each photo tells a story, expertly and artistically told. And don't get me started on the video. How they managed to sift through all that footage and find the joy and fun, the most stunning floral, the love that's communicated through looks, smiles and tears, all the while weaving together speech highlights as if narrating the day…is nothing short of masterful. Nothing is missing and we couldn't remember the day any better than what was captured. Even the song choices are perfect, keeping the energy upbeat and fun, yet romantic. I have submitted it to the Academy for their consideration. It will be nominated for and win best editing, best director, best set design, and best costume. Alex and I won't be nominated because we weren't acting. This love is real, and I'd like to thank my wife and God for that. Now get to bed, you crazy kids!

We can't say enough!

We hired MTM photography and film for our April 2021 wedding. I truly can't say enough about Sara and Anna who we worked with. From the start, we immediately felt comfortable with them. They are artistic and creative, and the images and film finished products we received absolutely blew away any of our expectations. I know some people say they are hesitant to have a film of their wedding day, but if you book with MTM you will NOT regret it. As far as images go, the creativity throughout is something you don't see with a "typical" wedding photographer. They are more like works of art. MTM is 100% worth the investment! Plus you'll get to meet really cool people, who will feel more like friends at the end of the day :)

Best. Wedding. Photographer.

literally have no words on how to describe what Brett, Anna, and the rest of the team was able to do for me and my husband.

First, I'll be honest, it is truly an investment - however, it is truly probably the most best investment we have ever made. I felt like part of a family, from the countless number of emails, phone calls, texts ... the list goes on and on. When we first started the wedding planning process, we had originally hired a different photo & video team; after we had gotten our engagement photos done by them, we knew we had made the wrong decision. After we got our first set of engagement photos back, we decided to start looking into a new photographer.

I had first talked to Brett when we first started looking for a photo & video team - I loved their idea of the cinematic videos, and I felt like their photos told a story. I just can't explain it - they just make sense. When we finally went in to talk with Brett for our first visit, literally every. single. thing. we hated about our old photographer they said they didn't do. The best part, WE NEVER TOLD THEM THAT WE HAD HIRED ANOTHER PHOTOGRAPHER! They thought that law school had gotten the best of us, and we were just super busy. When we left that day, my husband and I knew we had found our photographers.

They have several different packages you can choose from, however, we went with several packages that included a cinematic video, trailers, full length videos (more on that later), photos (wedding & engagement), and books. The cinematic video didn't just include the day of the wedding, but a separate day that the video team comes and videographs - think of it like a video engagement session. For ours, we decided to have a party (our bridal party party as we called it) and Anna came out and filmed for a couple hours. The cinematic video also includes interviews, so we were able to have some interviews taken at the bridal party party too. This was so much fun, and the whole entire team was amazing.

Sadly, COVID has changed us all, and one of the things that happened was we had to change our entire reception (literally change venues and tell people they couldn't come) about 5 weeks before our wedding - that was no easy task, but because of MTM, we were able to live stream our ENTIRE WEDDING (both ceremony and reception) and they worked with us every step of the way in planning everything. I am extremely OCD, I need control of EVERYTHING - this was probably the first time that I was able to breathe easy; I knew that the MTM team was able to do what we needed them to do. It was flawless - everybody who wasn't able to be at our wedding because of COVID was able to watch. And people who still wanted to watch the reception were able to, even though we had to limit it to bridal party, plus ones, and parents. The best part? We were able to rewatch our entire wedding and reception the day after we got married. I will never be able to thank Brett for that.

I could probably continue writing on for hours because they were truly that good. Everybody loved their energy, their passion, and how they made everyone feel included and loved. I don't think I could have asked for a better team on my special day and throughout the process.

If you are considering Making the Moment, please hire them. They are 100% worth it - they will make everything better, and they will remind you that it is your day and to enjoy it.

Best decision! Incredible to work with and understanding!

Simply the best. Having the Making the Moment team capture our day was hands down the easiest decision throughout the wedding planning process. Their work, organization, passion and attention to detail make them stand out. Not only did they help us navigate COVID-19, they were patient and understanding as we had to change dates, venues, and scheduling details up until the week before. We cannot say enough about the incredible communication and ability to jump on the phone from the entire staff at MTM. It’s been two years of planning and changing and we feel fortunate to have had this team of talented and kind humans in our corner throughout it all.

We had two ceremonies in one day and for two people who don’t love being in front of the camera and were mentally drained from wedding planning, Brett, Sarah and DJ were the security blanket feel of experienced professionals we needed to help pull off the day. They have incredible vision and humor while understanding the logistics for our day made things a little more complicated. Their energy is so fun and positive! They helped us make it through bee stings, weather challenges, family member requests and so much more. Not only did we love working with the MTM team, our families and guests loved them too. We cannot recommend them enough!

The BEST Wedding Decision We Made

One of the BEST decisions my husband and I made for our wedding was deciding to work with Making the Moment for our photo and video needs. Since day one, we were completely sold on the work that this team of talented artistic professionals create. I’m definitely one to do my research, and after reviewing a number of portfolios, nothing quite compared to their awesome imagery.
Not only is their work stunning, but their communication and overall support is fantastic – the pre-planning and absolute attention to detail gained our complete trust, which on your wedding day, is an invaluable piece of mind. Brett as Creative Lead / Primary Photographer kept to the timeline we had worked together on and very efficiently directed our party and made quick adjustments for day-of requests. Anna as Cinema Lead along with the help of 3 other team member, I’m sure caught all of the best footage (we can’t wait to see it all!!). Both Brett and Anna were professional, kind and best of all, FUN. Photo capture can be a big portion of the day, and they kept things moving smoothly and allowed us the freedom to laugh and be candid with our party.
Big shout out to Amber as well who teamed with Anna on our engagement session. She has a natural talent for keeping things casual and capturing real personality.
Overall, Making the Moment is the best. You cannot go back and “redo” the wedding day, so trusting that you’ve got a great team, giving you their full attention and bringing years of experience and creative vision, is very important. I cannot thank them enough.
-Jessie & John

Making the Moment - 5 Stars

From start to finish, the team at MTM was an absolute joy for us to work with. Our photographer, Sara, has such an artistic eye and captured our wedding with creativity and brilliance. She easily wrangled our 20-person wedding party and took the reigns so that we could all be present and enjoy the day. The images she captured are treasures.

Anna and the videography team wove our love story together with beautiful imagery. They immortalized incredible moments from our wedding ceremony and reception, and I couldn't be happier with our fusion film.

You'll be blown away by Making the Moment! They display professionalism, friendliness, positivity, vision and incredible talent!

Simply the best!

We wholeheartedly recommend Making the Moment! Amber was wonderful, attentive, and personable. She not only listened carefully to what we wanted but also took the time to get to know us. Amber, Anna, and the whole MTM team made us feel comfortable on a day when we were already excited and anxious. They captured every special, intimate, and hilarious moment that occurred without being intrusive, and our wedding images and film truly encapsulate the emotion of the day in a way that will help us remember our wedding day and that feeling forever.

Amber is the Best!

We used Making the Moment (and in particular, Amber!) to photograph our November wedding. From our first meeting with Amber, we knew that we had selected the right company (and photographer!) to photograph our wedding. Amber is absolutely incredible and such a fun person to work with. To be honest, we weren’t particularly excited about being photographed, but Amber changed all of that. Specifically, because we loved hanging out with Amber, she not only helped us have a great experience while being photographed, but (dude!) her very warm and hilarious personality drew us out of our shells and put us at ease in order to capture extremely natural and fantastic images. From our engagement session to our wedding day, Amber completely knocked it out of the park.

What’s particularly unique about Making the Moment (other than their exceptional talent) is that they strive to capture your wedding day in a very real (but absolutely gorgeous) way. The final product isn’t just a bunch of pictures of you and your bridal party lined up and smiling (although those pictures are included, obviously). Instead, the final product pulls a one-two punch. It both tells the chronological story of your wedding day in still images -- capturing the moment you were sitting on the couch laughing with your bridesmaids, the way that you and your groom looked at each other for the first time, and the way that you and your guests killed it on the dance floor, to name a few -- while ALSO capturing the rollercoaster of emotions and the small moments that made your particular wedding day special and unique. This allows you to not only have fantastic images from your wedding day for the rest of your life, but it also enables you, in many ways, to relive every part of your wedding day over and over forever and ever -- not just what happened, but all the feelings and thoughts that went along with it.

From our point of view, Making the Moment was worth every penny. Actually, just getting to hang out with Amber was worth every penny, so the amazing photos we got on top of that were just the icing on the cake. After over a year of detailed (and, at times, intense) wedding planning, if we could give one piece of advice to brides and grooms out there in the Northeast Ohio area, it would be to go book Making the Moment as your wedding photographer. Now. You will be so happy that you did.

Best in town

What can I say that hasn't already been said about MTM? If you need pictures, get MTM! If you're having an Indian wedding, get MTM! They truly are the most organized, thorough and experienced group I was in touch with, especially when it came to indian weddings! We NEVER once had to worry about asking them/telling them what we needed... .and any requests/suggestions we had were so warmly discussed! We had Sara as our main photographer and she is just incredible! The entire team that was there made us feel so comfortable that we truly felt like we could be our (weird) selves around them. Our same day video was amazing... we can't wait for our preview. THANKS MTM!

Amazing photography team

Amber was our lead photographer for our engagement session and wedding day. She is truly amazing at what she does. She was so great to work with, so caring, so fun and truly loves what she does! Our favorite wedding vendor BY FAR. Amazing photos, and a quick turn around time! Truly in awe of what this amazing photography team did for our wedding day.

We decided before anything, that our photographer was going to be our biggest expense- it is the only thing we would have when our wedding day was all said and done. A coworker of mine had used making the moment for their wedding and I was amazed at their pictures! We got assigned Amber and the fit could not have been more perfect. She is sincere, enthusiastic, witty and just the sweetest person you will ever meet. By the day of our wedding, she didn’t seem like someone we hired, but like one of our beloved guests. Oh yea, and she is an uh-MAZING photographer. My husband and I kept saying “one picture. We just need one picture we both love.” I love every single one. She captured every moment perfectly! Making The Moment does exactly what their name says. Simply- THE BEST.

Marcus was our photographer and he was absolutely amazing! Right from the beginning he made us feel like we would be working with our best friend. My husband walked out of our first meeting with him and asked me if he can be in the wedding and I had to tell him no because he had to be our photographer! He adds a personal touch to everything he does and made us feel like we were the only people he was working with. He is organized, great attention to detail, and overall has such amazing passion for what he does, which makes him so amazing! When we got our photos we were simply in awe of how great they turned out. Making the Moment will be doing all our future photography needs from here on out. Not only is Marcus amazing... so is their team! Everyone we worked with or just talked to was awesome! Highly recommended!!

Making the Moment was an amazing team to work with! Our photographer was Marcus and he instantly got our vision from the first time we met. He made the wedding planning process easy for us with his organization, quick responses, and creative ideas. Our whole wedding timeline depended on when pictures were going taking place throughout the day - Marcus instantly provided us a very accurate timeline when we requested it, which was 4 months out from the wedding (a lot of things can change within 4 months, but the timeline was spot on!).

On the wedding day Marcus was a blast to work with. He was there from the beginning of the day until the very end which was impressive! He still had the same energy from when he first met us in the morning as he did when he was packing up at the end of the night. The whole day was filled with smiles and laughter ... mostly because of his cheesy jokes between shots :) We can't wait to see the finished product!

We also had Jeanna for the Live Photobooth - I'll be honest, I second guessed having the photobooth pretty much up until the day of the wedding. However, it ended up being a huge hit! All the guests made sure to get some fun shots in and it was the talk amongst our different groups of guests when they were uploaded to the website to view. A handful of people even made the pictures their profile pictures or uploaded them to facebook to share which was fun to see!

Making the Moment was awesome to work with and I would recommend them 100 times over to anyone in need for photography!

Making the Moment and our photographer, Marcus, were amazing! First and foremost, the photos were absolutely gorgeous and creative - not at all your typical cheesy wedding photos. They work really hard to make sure they get every shot (jumping on the dance floor and crouching around corners), while still managing to be very discrete and not distracting from the events. We could also tell how much care and detail went into each of the hundreds of photos in our final set.
Marcus and MTM were also great to work with. They were extremely organized and helped us stay on track of what info they needed from us when. There were never any hidden costs, and never felt like they were just trying to sell us on more stuff. They also hosted a viewing party for us to see the photos for the first time at their offices. We thought it might be corny but it was actually a really special way to experience the photos for the first time, and a great way to see them on a much larger screen than we have at home.
Could not recommend them more highly - one of the best wedding decisions we made!

We had a wonderful experience with Sara and Making the Moment. She was super easy to work with, organized, and enthusiastic about our big day. We had a relatively tight timeline for pictures, and she was completely accommodating of all of our preferences. She was also super fun to hang out with all day! It was very obvious that she cares about and loves what she does, and that was reflected in our pictures. They turned out amazing and we truly couldn't be happier with them! Thank you again, Sara!

Hiring Making the Moment was the best decision we made.

Planning a wedding from out of state can be a challenge so it was very important to have trustworthy and reliable vendors. Making the Moment goes above and beyond with their incredible ability to transcend that typical “vendor relationship”. From accommodating our facetime “interview” request to developing deep, personal connections and delivering the most STUNNING images – beyond anything I could have dreamed – they provided five-star service throughout. When you see the sign in their office that says “Come as Clients, Leave as Friends”, it’s no joke. They absolutely mean it.

Sara, you are such a talented photographer and beautiful human being. Getting to know you and establishing a friendship over the 15 months leading up to our wedding made your presence during our weekend so seamless and wonderful. Jack and I, as well as our families and friends, felt so comfortable around you and the camera – an ease that really showed in every image. You have a gift, sister! Thank you for capturing so many amazing, heartfelt, once-in-a-lifetime moments. (I’m not crying, you are!)

A photographer is an investment not only in your day but in the memories you will cherish forever. Being able to re-live our day – with all the feels!! – every single time we look at our images is priceless.

It’s all in the details and they are pros. We obviously cannot say enough about Sara and the creative team at MTM – simply the best!

Making the Moment & Marcus were the first vendors we booked before anything. From the second you walk into their office until the day you get to view your image premier, you feel like you are their only client. You laugh (a lot ), you cry (happy tears, ALOT) and you just enjoy your time spent with them. And I can't even begin to comment on the talent...I mean, I don't know if it's possible for anyone to be THAT skilled at their profession. But Marcus and the entire team are just that- super talented. Every time we look at our images, we re-live the best day of our lives all over again. That feeling in it of itself is priceless. Thank you to Marcus and the entire Making the Moment team for being hands-down the best, most first-class, innovative and talented group of people we hired for our wedding.

WOW - words don't express how happy my husband and I are with Making the Moment! From booking them to engagement photo shoot, to wedding day and seeing our wedding day pictures, we couldn't be happier and more impressed by this bunch of MTM people. Vince was our photographer and captured every moment, was easy to work with, and made us feel at ease. Renee was great about keeping the communication constant with reminders, emails, and phone calls - I never felt out of the loop or like I was missing anything. The level at which they photograph, work with their clients, and truly make a connection with you is what sets them apart. Yes, you will pay more than the average photographer, but what you get is unmatched. Even with our wedding reception at The Arcade (where they've shot many weddings before), Vince created new photos that he hadn't done before so we had unique images. Hands down, the best decision we made for our wedding! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

MTM was wonderful from the moment we contacted them. We were planning on a short timeline and they called the same day info was submitted online to check dates and set up an initial meeting. We LOVED working with Amber (she even break dances!) They were helpful with planning our day of schedule and suggesting locations for photos. Because we had already talked through the schedule and photo priorities - the day of was relaxed and enjoyable. Our photos came out amazing! So many friends have commented on how these are some of the best wedding photos they have seen. They exactly capture the feel of the day! We also loved the private viewing (premier) once all the photos are ready!

They are so much fun! Making the Moment made every step of the wedding planning very easy for us. We were impressed with the staff's talent and creativity. They made sure we felt comfortable with voicing any concerns or questions. I would suggest this to a couple who loves photography and wants a unique approach to wedding photography. You can expect them to make the wedding details seem like a breeze.

We cannot even put into words how extraordinary Making the Moment is. They are INCREDIBLE! Photography was a top priority for us. We wanted to hire photographers that were talented and creative, while also having experience with Indian Weddings so we didn't have to explain which parts of the ceremony were really sentimental. MTM is gifted in all these areas and so much more.

Marcus was our lead photographer for our special day, and we worked with Sara, Brian, and several other team members that are all wonderful. Since we were planning our wedding from out of town, Marcus was very accommodating to our schedule and made sure we FaceTimed and had several phone calls to plan out the day. He really took the time to get to know us and all the details about our wedding and you can tell how passionate he is.

What we didn't expect? The energy, excitement, and laughter that the team brought on our wedding day. They were filled with so much positivity, which makes you feel completely relaxed for your pictures. Marcus kept us on schedule the entire day for over 15 hours while never making us feel rushed. He had very creative ideas he knew he wanted to try and capture and helped guide us on our shoots so we felt comfortable in front of the camera.

We just received our pictures yesterday and they are breathtaking! Like spectacular. Unbelievable. Stunning. Words cannot even describe how amazing they turned out. We were really surprised when Marcus included a video with our pictures. It was the perfect way to view our first wedding pictures together and really special. We are so excited for our fusion film and storybook to be completed!

We are so incredibly thankful to have worked with Making the Moment and have our priceless memories captured beautifully. Hire them, you won't regret it, and your pictures will be stunning. STUNNING!

PERFECT! From our engagement session through our wedding day, everything was amazing! Sara was our photographer and she is just so cute and so sweet and so perfect for us! She really helped us to open up and be ourselves in front of the camera and it showed in how great ourphotos turned out! The whole company in general is great at communication and doing whatever possible to make sure that their clients are happy. Absolutely wonderful to work with!

could not have asked for a better photographer. Making the Moment made us feel so very special from our first consultation up to our wedding day. Marcus was our photographer and he is incredible. He did our engagement photos which were amazing and we received a ton ofcompliments on them. He was able to capture every vision we had from photos with our dogs, rollerblading to tandem bike riding. Marcus was very organized and helped a immensely when it came to the flow of our big day. Marcus made sure that everyone was where they needed to be and made sure our wedding day ran smoothly. I truly believe the deciding to have MTM do the photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we have made and we highly recommend them! We cannot wait to see the beautiful images Marcus has captured from our wedding day. Thank you!!

Having a great wedding photographer was a top priority on our list. We found Making the Moment just from browsing reviews and their gallery online. During our engagement, my now husband and I were living in 2 different states, and since we couldn't go in and meet with Marcus and the rest of the team to talk about what we wanted, Marcus organized a video conference with us, outside of normal work hours. These little details show how this team goes above and beyond to make sure you're comfortable with them and all your questions and concerns are addressed.

On the day of our wedding, Marcus and his assistant Jordan were very amazing. They made us laugh, kept us on schedule, and helped the day flow perfectly. We felt like we were hanging out with friends instead of photographers.

Since we moved out of state after the wedding and were unable to attend the normal viewing party at the office, Marcus created a video slideshow of all of our pictures so that we could have our own viewing party. The pictures were better than we could have ever dreamed. We are so happy we chose Making the Moment to do our wedding photography and would recommend them to anyone looking for wedding photos they will be proud of, and cherish for a lifetime.

I can\'t even begin to describe how happy my husband and I are that we chose to work with MTM for our wedding day. Photography was our #1 priority from the beginning, which is why we chose the best of the best for wedding day photography. From day one they have been nothing short of amazing. No other wedding vendor cared as much about us or made us feel like family like MTM did. Vince photographed our wedding and was so great to work with. It felt like one of our friends hanging out with us all day and he definitely helped move the day along smoothly so we were not pressed for time. Also, he made me feel so much better the week of our wedding. We knew we were getting rain, and even though I had been dreading and worrying about it all week, after I got off the phone with Vince, I actually WANTED it to rain because of the vision he had for pictures in rainy weather. We recently received our pictures and they are INCREDIBLE. The most beautiful wedding pictures I\'ve ever seen. We have gotten so many compliments from people and a lot of them say they are the most creative/unique/gorgeous photos they\'ve ever seen. Also, I was sick during the entire reception and didn\'t get to enjoy the night as I had planned, but Vince somehow managed to capture moments that I was trying to get on the dance floor and if you look at pictures it doesn\'t look like I was missing at all - I am included in so many which makes me feel so much better about the night. It is hard to be creative and \"artsy\" without being super cheesy and MTM accomplishes that perfectly. They show the day as it happened in a candid and real style. Their photographs are one of a kind and I can\'t imagine trusting anyone else with photography on such an important day in life! I would recommend them to any and everyone! Thank you MTM!

I wish that I could give more than 5 stars to Making the Moment Photography (MTM). From start to finish, Brett and the rest of the team was by far the best team that I have EVER worked with. Each of them are so genuine and kind, you will want to work with them for many, many years to come.

We worked with Brett and the rest of the MTM team for our engagement photos, wedding photos, and storybook. The decision to work with them was easy, even after just our initial phone call with Brett. Initially, we weren’t sure about getting engagement photos, but are SO glad that we did. Not only did we get to “practice”, but we had SO much fun and got to know Brett (and Sara!) which made our wedding day so much easier. Our photos came out incredible; we did not look like we were posing or awkward.

Prior to our wedding, we worked closely with Brett to set up our wedding timeline. He almost acted as a wedding planner, and our wedding day was seemingly effortless. Brett was able to keep us on track with our schedule, without seeming the least bit pushy or controlling. He also came as early/stayed as late as we wanted them to. By the end of the night, we wanted Brett and Sara to put down their cameras and dance with us! Everyone always comments on how incredible our photos are and how they have never seen anything like them before. My husband and I felt SO comfortable, and it shows in our photos.

Lastly, MTM’s print studio is incomparable. Ordering is easy, using MTM’s online portal, and the prints are reasonably priced considering the quality of the prints. We also purchased a custom made StoryBook and I am SO glad that it did. Being able to relive the day in such a special and unique way was so precious to us. It will be something that we can share with our family and friends forever.

Overall, there are really no words to describe how thankful we are to have met everyone at MTM and can’t wait to work with them again!

Making the Moment was the second best choice I made on my wedding day. The first choice was undoubtedly my wife. However, this review is for MtM, not my lovely wife. Not only did Making the Moment capture our wedding in a remarkable way but their staff and photographer made our day fun and even more memorable.
When it comes to choosing a photographer for your wedding let's face it, everyone and their brother has a camera and will shoot your wedding for less money. Being the last of 4 children in my family to get married, I have had my share of weddings. I have been in them, seen the family reactions when the photos arrive, and forever will be enshrined on my parents mantle. When it comes to choosing your wedding photographer, it is an important decision.
Two reasons why my wife and I choose Making the Moment. First, Making the Moment has some of the industry-leading equipment and professionals. The way their business is set up allows for their photographers to focus on photography not taxes, marketing, equipment maintenance, payroll and sales. This creates a highly motivated photography team that gives your product the best service available. Look at their work, set up a meeting, their is a reason this company is a leap above the standard.
The second reason why we choose Making the Moment was their exceptional service. The very first time we walked in the door we were treated like friends and family. Our names were written on chalkboard and made to order coffee with big fancy mugs all while sitting on a nice comfy couch. This seems to be trivial and have nothing to do with choosing your wedding photographer, but all these little details give evidence the level of service this team gives you. Not just the service of amazing photographs but support every step of the way. My wife and I didn't really know all the details that would coincide with planning our wedding and the photographer. We had a few meetings with our team at Making the Moment. Each meeting we came

Making the Moment has truly exceeded our expectations. My husband and I love photography and we were looking for a photographer to capture our personality in a fun and artistic way. Making the Moment made that happen. We were fortunate enough to have Marcus to capture our wedding and engagement pictures. He is extremely talented and knows what he is doing. Not only that, he is very energetic and doesn't make you feel awkward. Everyone at making the moment is very friendly and we always look forward to seeing them. Thank you guys for everything and we look forward to seeing the finished product!!!

Making the Moment completely exceeded my expectations. From first meeting to our engagement session to our wedding, we've become friends with our photographer Brett and his team. Brett is the perfect combination of professional and personable. He made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Even my bridesmaids were commenting that they didn't feel like we were at a photo session, but rather just hanging out. I would recommend them time and time again to any bride. They are an investment, but they are WELL WORTH IT!

I absolutely cannot say enough good things about the Making the Moment team and could not recommend them highly enough! Brett was my first call when it came to wedding planning (I'm pretty sure I got his open dates before I even called my church) and that was the best decision I made during wedding planning!

Right from the start the Making the Moment team is so attentive to every detail that goes into making your wedding day as wonderful as possible. Renee is simply amazing and so fantastic about communicating with you about your wedding day schedule and details, and was extremely helpful with recommendations as well.

Brett did our wedding and engagement photos and is so great at making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. I was definitely a little apprehensive about that, but he instantly put me at ease - you just feel like you're hanging out with a friend! He brought such a fun energy and so much positivity to our wedding day, it was really a blessing for me to have him there throughout the day. SO many of our wedding guests and our wedding party commented on how awesome of a photographer he was!

And I can't even begin to tell you how blown away my husband and I were, and still are, by our photos. Simply. Amazing. I cried when Brett showed us our wedding photos. He captured so many details and moments that were so precious to me, that I had forgotten about, and that I had missed on our wedding day. Having all those memories preserved in such a creative and beautiful way is truly priceless.

In summary, you absolutely cannot go wrong in choosing Making the Moment for your wedding and engagement photos. You couldn't be in better hands, and the photos will seriously blow your mind. Seriously.

Vince and Renee helped make our wedding day everything we had ever dreamed of. We had a blast with them and truly got to know them through this process. Making the Moment values making their customers their friends, and we truly felt this way with them. We will definitely come back to Making the Moments for all of our photography needs. Our wedding pictures were amazing and they captured the day and us perfectly. When we viewed our pictures, there were many instances when we said "that picture truly captures us" which is exactly what we wanted. Cannot say enough good things about Making the Moment and our experience with them! Would definitely choose them again, the whole team is so so nice!

Making the Moment Photography was amazing! From the moment I called them to inquire about their services, I knew that this was an A+ company. They were friendly, professional, and excited about my wedding. Their customer service is excellent and their talent is through the roof. They really make an effort to get to YOU so that you feel comfortable and at ease behind the camera. I have never had so much FUN getting my picture taken! Brett and his entire team do not miss one detail. Their photos and story books are creative, artistic, and have personality. It is amazing! Their story books truly capture the essence of the couple and the day. Also, their story books are so modern and up-to-date. In all my research of photographers in Cleveland, I was not able to find one company with the uniqueness and creativity that Making the Moment brings to the table. Lastly, every interaction and communication with Brett and his team is enjoyable. They are organized, clear, passionate, and talented. I am so grateful that they were a BIG part of my special day.

Not only did they make the day more fun, they helped us plan, provided recommendations and even got us in touch with a great day-of planner. Not to mention, we love our images. Brett and his team clearly care about providing expert, top service.

Brett was our photographer and he was amazing!! He made sure we were all set with everything we needed leading up to the day and day of! He did such an amazing job that day. He made it fun and not creepy or awkward at all, which I have been to other people's weddings and some photographers give that vibe! I have nothing bad to say about the entire company, they are truly amazing! Renee was awesome at coordinating with getting our storybook and images, seeing that I live out of town. She was always keeping us in the loop of what was going on and I never had to run them down to see what was going on. The storybook that they put together with all the images stays true to its title, it truly was a story of that night and not all those staged images you typically see. We relived that night through every image. I am so pleased that we went with them!!

Okay, so my wedding was yesterday and I don't have my pictures back, but I already know I am OBSESSED with them. Seriously my husband and I are blown away by Brett's professionalism and skill. We only saw little previews on his camera, unedited, and I am just amazed. I do not regret a single penny of his fee. This wasn't what I wanted to spend on photography but I have absolutely zero regrets. He was with us all day (12+ hours), when you consider that its actually a bargain since most photographers give you these packages and the highest one is usually 12 hours and more than MTM's fee. They could charge more and it would be worth it. He also manages to get amazing photos without being all up in everyone's business (I love Brett and wouldn't care, but no one likes to see a first dance with a photographer right in the couple's faces. Just ruins the moment). The stealthily catch everything, and do so beautifully. I don't know how i am going to wait 8 weeks for my pictures :(. Book them you wont regret it!

From beginning to end, Making the Moment photography was professional, courteous and beyond helpful. The process of working with this company was so refreshing. They communicated clearly and were very straight forward with pricing and all of our options. Our engagement session really gave us a chance to know our photographer so that by the time the wedding came we were so comfortable with having him take the reigns. It was almost as though our photographer became our wedding planner to ensure our day went smoothly. The quality of our photos was superb and we feel as though we get to relive the day each time we look at them. On the business side of things, Making the Moment was very thorough yet never pressured us. I would highly recommend this company to anyone needing photos taken! Thank you for everything.

For a lot of people, photography is one of the top things on the priority list for weddings. This was definitely the case for my wedding, we really wanted an awesome photographer, and Making the Moment is really the best company I could find!! Not only are their photographs ridiculously cool, but everyone who works there is really enthusiastic and easy to work with. This is the only company I could find that has no time limit to your wedding day (with no extra costs). They are here for the the whole day and capture everything from pre-make up through party time!

I live in Chicago, but my wedding was in Ohio, so I spent a LOT of time looking at photographers websites, checking out their galleries. Making the Moment was the first website that caught my eye, because they were really one of the site that had artsy images. While most other sites had my most hated thing, cheesy-looking couples fake smiling as they stare into each other's eyes, making the Moment had a lot more cool shots and candids that you can tell were real. I continued to look at other photographers and interviewed a few, but they just weren't as good. The first time we met the owner, Brett, we talked about old school Nintendo, Christmas Ale, and his cat almost attacked us, so we knew we liked him!

Luke was our photographer and is very good, but anyone who works there would also do an awesome job, because I know Brett wouldn't hire anyone who is bad. He really helped put us at ease, because let's keep it real, brides and grooms are nervous! (Especially this bride!) It isn't always super fun to get your pictures taken, but Luke made it fun!

I'm not exaggerating when I say, that everyone who sees my wedding Photos says they are the best they've ever seen.

Where do I even begin with this review, all the while doing Brett (and Marcus), and the team of Making the Moment justice?! It is almost impossible. There is a reason they have a perfect rating, almost across the board!

Picking Brett was the BEST wedding decision we made. He was chosen, first and foremost, for the comfort and ease he offered my FI (now husband) and myself at the time of our first meeting. The personality, and friendliness was very uplifting. An added benefit was the 'all or nothing' package they offer. When he says he will spend as much time with us as we need him too, and will travel back and forth to get all the pictures we want, he means it!

In between booking him, and our wedding date, communication was quick, their online tools were easy to navigate, the engagement pictures were flawless, and Brett always seemed excited for May 3rd to come!

The day of, with Brett and Marcus, exceeded the excitement, and anticipation we had in choosing this photographer. They were fun, they were comfortable (because it CAN be difficult having a camera in your face for hours :)), they were professional, and I know they created art in our photos that will have us remembering the happiest days of our lives. Not to mention, they also got to know all bridal party members by name (15 of us total), and made them instantly comfortable as well.

As the Bride, I never would have guessed that a photographer would calm my anxiety, and yet, they did by their compliments, and their laid back personalities. We cannot wait to see the final product, but I can safely write this perfect review without seeing the pictures.

Making the Moment will be recommended by me for many, many years to come!!

We had the pleasure of working with Luke for both our engagement and wedding photos. He made us, our family, and friends very comfortable throughout the entire wedding day. Making the Moment even hosted a premier night to show us and our families our wedding images. We couldn't be happier with the photographs - they not only captured all of the special moments of the day but were also beautiful pieces of art. Luke also asked for the names of our family members before the wedding and made sure to capture images of them as well. We really appreciated Luke and Making the Moment's dedication, flexibility, and professionalism. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

I believe God has blessed us by bringing Brett and his team at Making the Moment. I hope any couple who has chosen them or considering going with Brett and his crew would feel the way we do.....it's more than a feeling of thanks, it's more than a fleeting moment of happiness and leaving a comment the next day. It is a divine feeling where the words "Thank You" can not convey the comfort, trust, joy and love we have for them.

We had the pleasure of meeting with Brett and probably after 2 hours of talking and just getting to know each other we knew we found "THE ONE" we also had the pleasure of meeting his lovely wife and baby Pearl! So just like when I knew Stephen was "The One"...and only It was the same feeling with Making the Moment!

I know everyone wishes the best for the bride and groom and happy marriage, but our wishes are for Making the Moment. May your company grow, and your family, and for baby Pearl may she never have any worries because her Dad is true artist and dedicated to his craft!

When Team SKate considers you family, you're FAMILY! You know how we Ninjas do it!

One of the hardest moments, for me, was when Brett came back with our rings and said he had to go. I was feeling selfish and I think I even asked "do you really have to go, please stay?" Then I came to my senses and realized after spending all day with our family he had to go to home to his own as well.

So with that said we want to thank Ben for keeping our spirits up with his humor and helping Brett get the best shots for us. It was great having you there. Finally, a HUGE thank you to the real Bosses :).....Colleen and Pearl for sacrificing your entire Saturdays so Making the Moment, could give us an entire day of priceless art!!

Man I wish this rating system allowed me to chose 6! Thank you all!

Love, Team SKate..."Go Fighting"

We are sooooo happy that we chose Making the Moment for our wedding photography! We wanted something a bit different and unique, not awkwardly posed, and just cool artistic images. We checked out their website and blog posts and just had to have them! All of their photographers do super cool amazing work. From the start, we met Brett the owner and immediately felt comfortable and excited choosing Making the Moment. We then had a few Skype chat sessions with Holly, our photographer leading up to the wedding day and she also made us feel super comfortable and even more pumped! They have a great organizational system in place to help you with planning for the day and give great tips. When the big day finally arrived, Holly and her husband Ryan who assisted, were so great and easy going throughout the day! I can't say enough great things about them. We absolutely loved them and our photos turned out to be everything that we wanted! We were so impressed and got emotional all over again looking through them. The whole day was truly captured with all the little details. We would recommend Making the Moment in a heartbeat! Great people, amazing talent :)

We were first referred to MTM by our DJ/entertainment vendor, and at every stage, everything about MTM was top-notch. At the "pitch" stage, we were drawn in immediately to their creative, non-traditional pictures. Their work really seemed to capture each couples' wedding and their personalities, as opposed to just being standard wedding photos. Their wedding storybooks also were very impressive. It was also clear right off the bat that they would be very easy to work with, as Brett was extremely professional, yet very laid back at the same time. We still shopped around and saw a few more photographers, but MTM creativeness and professionalism definitely stood out, and we decided to go with them.

MTM was equally great atthe "planning" stage. Again, they were very responsive, easy to work with, and great at suggesting little things to help enhance the wedding/make things run smoother.

The day of the wedding was fantastic. Luke was our photographer and he was great!!! We had an early ceremony, and an after-party that went late, but Luke was around for the whole day. We were able to take at 4-5 different locations, and we were blown away at Luke's creativity. Luke gave us a sneak peek of a few of the creative pictures he took, and they looked incredible. Also, Luke was great at taking the lead when he needed to, but was totally open to suggestions. Again, very friendly, and easy to work with. A++++

Overall, can not recommend MTM enough. They were extremely friendly, easy to work with, and their photographs truly are works of art. You won't be disappointed!

Ben was amazing!!!! Not only did he take gorgeous photos, he had such an upbeat and personable attitude. People noticed how fun he was. Also, he was really good at taking candids without being in the way. I am so happy I asked for Ben! Absolutely loved my service from the moment I booked. Professional service :)

We hired Making the Moment for our engagement pictures and for our wedding day, and working with Brett was wonderful! From the first time I met him for our consultation, he was interested in getting to know us as individuals and as a couple so that he could tailor his work to meet our needs. His style of photography is like beautiful artwork, we were so impressed with his images! Our engagement photos were beautiful and we can't wait to see the wedding photos! Brett is so creative and non-traditional with our photos - exactly what we wanted! The day of our wedding, he kept us all cool, calm, and collected. He has a great personality and sense of humor, and our bridal party was instantly comfortable with him. Our guests at the ceremony and reception were also very impressed because he never missed a thing! Brett was all over the place taking so many pictures of every aspect of our day, I know we will have beautiful memories documented in his images. If we had to do it over again, we would absolutely go with Making the Moment. We had such a wonderful experience from start to finish! Thanks Brett!!!

Making the Moment did an amazing job with capturing our wedding! Brett and Renee are so organized, professional, and fun....perfect for a busy bride! We were so happy to have them as a part of our day! I was completely teary-eyed as they revealed our wedding photos. They were absolutely stunning! I was overwhelmed with how well they captured our wedding day!

In my mind, Making the Moment Photography was the only option for a photographer for my big day-and thankfully my now husband agreed! Brett had done my cousins wedding a few years before and I had decided then that I wanted him to shoot my wedding someday. Brett was wonderful! We got our engagement photos through him as well as our wedding. He was accommodating and made us feel comfortable and we had a great time! I wouldn't trade the photos that he was able to capture for anything! The second we got our disk with the photos on it, I had our pictures on the walls! We love the pictures, and so does our family! I would highly recommend Making the Moment to everyone!!!

BEST DECISION EVER. Period.

Photography has always been important to me, capturing life's moments on film so that they can always be cherished is simply a necessity. When it came to my wedding, I knew I wouldn't settle. I first learned of Making the Moment about 5 years ago when they photographed a friends wedding. I was amazed with their work and felt drawn to their staff who were so friendly, personable, relatable.

I searched many Cincinnati area photographers but nothing compared to work I'd seen from Making the Moment firsthand, and through there amazing website and blog. So it was easy decisions to make the investment in their wedding day services. I can't tell you enough how much we loved our photographer, Benjamin. From the moment he nestled into the corner of the hotel room to capture a close-up and said "don't mind me I'm a tree" he stole my heart, and became an integral part of some of my favorite memories of the day.

It's the amazing people behind Making the Moment that set them apart from everyone else. They are passionate for their work, and deliver the highest quality results. Aside from that, they aren't just there to take pictures. Brett and his staff helped up draft a detailed timeline of our wedding day, assuring that no important details were missed. They got us thinking ahead of time about what we wanted in our wedding photography, and assured that we got that and so much more.

We have seen a few of our wedding images, a special sneak peak, and although I knew the quality I would be getting I was floored by the actual result. We cannot wait for the final reveal our wedding day images and we hope that every future bride and groom gets to experience something like this.

I would highly recommend Making the Moment to all future brides, Ohio and afar - it was the best decision we ever made!

Words cannot begin to express how thankful I am to have found Brett and his team for our wedding. Not only are they phenomenal photographers, they are extremely enthusiastic organized, responsive, flexible and professional. They love what they do and it shows in their work. Photography was on my list of important items for the wedding and the reason why we chose Making the Moment was we didn't want our photos to look like everyone elses. I wanted a creative photographer and Brett exceeded every expectation. He does so much to take the stress out of the day for you, while making the entire process a blast for the entire wedding party. When you get tired of smiling towards the end of the day, somehow Brett knows how to get it out of you to for yet another amazing shot. I wish we could do our wedding all over again to get to work with Making the Moment!

Vince was our photographer through Making the Moment. He was absolutely amazing!! We gave him a general idea of what we like and he ran with it... He brought some sweet props and incorporated props that we brought as well. I actually forgot he was there during the ceremony and reception and yet he had some amazing shots. He and Brett (owner) go through every picture to ensure artistic quality.

I don't even know where to begin with Making the Moment. Everything from the initial meeting to after-wedding correspondence was phenominal! From the first phone call I made to Brett, our photographer and also owner, to schedule a meeting, he had me completely relaxed and laughing. He brought a wide-range of images with him, and I immediate fell in love with his work. Admittedly, the cost was more than initially budgeted, but you truly get what you pay for...and more! We were so confident in Making the Moment and Brett, that we couldn't pass up the opportunity to work with him! Brett was not only our photographer, but he was a key element in the planning process. Every email and phone call was responded to immediately, even within minutes. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but with Making the Moment, I was put completely at ease. My husband and I tend to be very camera-shyand within the first 5 minutes of our engagement session, Brett had us relaxed and laughing and forgetting the camera was even there. Our photos turned out better than I could have imagined. The day of the wedding, Brett and his assistant, Renee, came to the hotel early to photograph myself and the bridesmaids getting ready. He then also made sure that he went to my husbands hotel room to get pictures of him and his guys getting ready as well. From the moment Brett walked into our room, everyone's engery lifted and he had us laughing immediately. Any nerves I was feeling were completely gone and I was focused on enjoying what the day was all about. During our "first look" creative session, Brett took risks with location and made my husband and I want to take those risks with him. He made our bridal party feel at ease and even became friends with them. He is one of the hardest-working photographers I've seen and we feel so lucky to have worked with him. One of my guests actually told me that she thought we had two photographers, since everytime she turned around there were moments being captured and he didn't miss a shot. My husband and I truly feel as though we've found a great friend in Brett and we could not imagine our wedding day being as perfect as it was without him. BRETT - YOU GUYS ROCK!

My husband and I moved to the Cleveland area about four years ago, and
fell in love with the city. When we got engaged, we knew we wanted our
engagement pictures to be in downtown Cleveland. I called Brett and we
were able to meet him in his studio and after meeting him in person
and seeing his work- we knew we HAD to have him as our photographer
for both our engagement pictures AND our wedding. This was one of the
BEST decisions we made for our wedding! We are SO happy with our
wedding images and cannot say enough about Brett as a person and a
photographer!! Brett was able to travel with us to our hometown in NJ
for the wedding and got there a couple days early to scope out the
town- he was able to find locations that even my parents and I were
not aware of- that were absolutely stunning! He learned everyone's
name for the weekend which made things so personal and so easy! Some
of our groomsmen were a little bit crazy at times- but Brett handled
it like a pro and was able to get AMAZING images of them! The day of
the wedding was such a blur for me and my husband and getting our
pictures taken by Brett was the BEST decision because we were able to
piece our day together and remember all of the amazing moments we had
that day! Without such incredible pictures, Im not sure the experience
of the whole thing would be the same for us. All of our parents are so
grateful too and so happy with our pictures, which was also so
important to us! You will NOT regret choosing making the moment - they
are simply the BEST!!

Making the Moment was the best investment we made for our wedding day! Brett is awesome to work with. He is always there to help you with any questions you have, or if you just need a little reassurance...

My photographer for my wedding day was Benjamin. He seriously exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding pictures and he was a blast to hang out with that day. I have received so many comments from guests talking about how much they liked him! Lol

You cannot go wrong hiring Making the Moment! They are for real True Artists and not just "photographers!" Absolutely Love them!!

Amazing photographer and company!! We had our wedding October 1 and recieved the most beautiful pictures of our entire day. From the planned family pictures to the small moments Brett captured, we have our entire day recorded in print. The pictures are excellent quality! Throughout the entire process, Brett and his team have bee extremely organized, courteous, professional, and prompt. Planning a wedding is stressful but Brett was so helpful throughout the whole process; he almost became a wedding planner with us! Not only did we receive unparalleled service and products, we have formed friendships throughout the process. You could not possibly regret using Making the Moment!

As soon as we got engaged, the first thing I did was look into wedding photography, as it was the most important thing to me. I soon found Brett at Making the Moment and knew that there was no feasible other option for our big day, as nothing else could even compare. His portfolio speaks volumes and the images he produces are absolutely breathtaking. I am a pretty picky person when it comes to photography, and I didn't think the style that I was looking for was even out there, until I found Making the Moment. The professionalism coupled with the creativity and incredibly high skill level of Brett was even more than I could have ever asked for in terms of a wedding photographer. Communication before our wedding, during, and after was great. The images we received from our wedding were beyond our expectations and were not only well-taken, they were beyond perfect. Post-wedding, we received our Story Books that we included in our package and they were absolutely stunning. The time and effort that went into them made for an incredible keepsake of our wedding day. Overall, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Making the Moment to anyone out there who truly cares about their wedding images and getting service and photos that are exceptional beyond comparison.

We highly recommend Making the Moment Photography to any future Bride & Groom! We booked Making the Moment with Brett last March after we got engaged. He invited us over to his place and showed us some highlights of MTM's previous wedding work, openly and honestly discussed different packages and pricing with us, and gave us chocolate! :) Brett is one of the most welcoming, honest, and friendly people we've ever met! From the day our contract with MTM started, the company has been professional in dealing with our wedding details, flexible in dealing with our crazy schedules, and they displayed excellent quality in our final image results. We also ordered float wraps, a canvas, and wedding StoryBook (that they created the awesome lay out for) from MTM and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome!
On our wedding day, and leading up to it, our photographer, Vince, was an absolute blast to work with. We skyped with him a few months before discussing details of our wedding day and once we did that he just sat and talked with us about who we were, what we were interested in, etc. Vince is one of the most talented and creative people we have ever met. We had our wedding pictures taken on Jace's family farm and Vince went crazy with creative ideas! We enjoyed spending the day with him and felt completely comfortable with the direction he took us with his photography.
These are only a few examples of why we would recommend MTM to anyone and everyone. Our friendships with both Brett and Vince have only begun and our belief and support for MTM will continue to grow deeper! Choose Making the Moment Photography... you definitely will NOT be sorry!

-Jace and Rachael Hartzler

The 5 stars I gave on everything says it all. Choosing Making the Moment for your wedding photography is definitely the right decision! Not only were Brett and Vince incredibly fun and easy to work with, their level of organization, communication and coordination made the whole process smooth and effortless. Our photos and storybook came out beautifully, as promised, and we love sharing the unique images captured from our big day with everyone we know!

I fell in love with Making the Moment when I first saw their website. They have a wonderful site with portfolios of the photographers as well as a blog not only showing their work but also giving little tips to help you understand several things about photography. Some of their blogs talk about how to plan your day (as far as photos) others talk about what you should look for in a photographer, I found it all very helpful before I even decided to hire them.

Their image quality is amazing and their approach is awesome if you love candid shots. If you're looking for a traditional photographer that will pose you for every shot and is no fun then go elsewhere. There are so many things that I loved about this company, but most of all is Brett. He's the owner and a photographer (an awesome one) and he is so friendly! After meeting him I knew that I wanted to go with them, he just makes you so comfortable! It's like you're instantly friends and he will do anything to help capture the moments dearest to you. We haven't received our wedding photos yet, since we just got married two weeks ago, but our engagement photos came out great!

A few things I really liked are:
*You get them for the entire day at one flat rate
*You get the rights to all of your photos (they give you a disk)
*They personally go through your photos and do any retouching necessary
*You can order a hand-bound book which they graphically design themselves.
*They back everything up several times to make sure your images are safe!

Also, they are wonderful about getting back to you if you have any questions. Brett is very responsive to emails and they have a neat client site to help keep everything organized. Honestly I don't think I have any complaints! Everything was great and I'm sure our images will come out wonderful!

********I wrote the above shortly after the wedding as a review for weddingchannel.com

I just wanted to add that since then, we have received our photos and albums and they are fantastic!! We are very please with the quality of their products. We even got entered into their Image of the Year contest and won 3rd place! :) Our parents LOVE their albums and everyone we have shown have been totally impressed.

My only complaint would be that a few images that we would have like to have had were not captured. This is more due to me not wanting to be pushy, so I probably did not stress some of the things that I wanted. I read so much about bridezillas that I was afraid to say much and sound controlling. Other than that, we had a great day, received an awesome product, and worked with an amazing photographer (who is also just a great guy in general). We definitely recommend them.

Making the Moment Photography was exceptional to work with for our wedding. Brett was kind, professional, and accommodating when my husband first called him. Through the whole wedding process, we found Making the Moment organized, thorough, and reliable. We were more than pleased, with our final canvas prints, storybook, and best of all- fusion video!

Making the Moment's Above & Beyond ways included:
-Fusion Video (hybrid of pics, audio & video to songs)
-We ran in a 5k the morning of our wedding...Brett was there!
-Knowing the names of our 20 person bridal party- made things go so much more smooth!
-Unobstructed way of taking pictures during church ceremony (something my mom noticed & appreciated)
-Through pictures, incorporated time in the busy wedding day where my husband and I got to enjoy each other
-Reviewing pictures in comfortable home setting
-Chance to re-live wedding excitement with Image of the Year Contest

...all of this is in addition to capturing timeless, special, classic & unique, wedding moments :)

THANK YOU BRETT, RENEE, & MAKING THE MOMENT!

Making the Moment was by far second to none! The service, professionalism and the work that they put out is really irreplaceable. Our images were absolutely breathtaking! Plus they were a blast to work with! On the day of our wedding our photographer was right on time, had everything planned out to the places where we were going to the timing of everything; I literally had zero worries or thought about the pictures. The locations of our pictures were creative, innovative and just plain fun! I would HIGHLY recommend Making the Moment to any Bride and Groom who want awesome, creative, fun, unique photos that will forever be the best memories of your wedding!

Working with Brett & Making the Moment (MM) was one of the best experiences during the planning process of our wedding. Brett is an amazing individual, and MM was such a pleasure to work with (esp. day of!)... they are extremely professional, charismatic, communicative, friendly and their "bed side manner" is unparallelled. Oh and the pictures! The pictures! I can't gush enough about how amazing they turned out. I still, to this day, get compliments on my images. Brett captured the essence of Jon and I... which is really really hard to do! I can't express enough what a joy this ride has been. If you are a new bride, please please please contact MM. They will blow you away with their imagination, creativity, and professionalism (not to mention the kindest people in the industry). MM surpassed my expectations. I can't thank them enough!

Where can I begin? Brett at Making the Moment was the second photographer we met with and fifth or sixth wedding vendor we spoke with. From the very beginning, Brett treated us like old friends instead of clients. Our initial meeting was at a coffee shop (I distinctly remember Brett being VERY excited about a certain Pumpkin Spice Latte...) and it lasted close to two hours. Brett didn't even bring up the sales pitch until he spent a good amount of time getting to know us: how we met, where we lived, our families, etc. When Brett finally did bring up packages and pricing, he also covered the "what ifs?" and really reassured us. After we left, my husband and I decided in the parking lot that this was our guy. He was fun, personable and had an amazing portfolio of work. But the best part about hiring Brett and Making the Moment? The "old friend" treatment didn't stop once we signed the contract. Brett was there every step of the way, keeping in touch, sending updates and planning our pictures. On our wedding day, he started at my house, taking candids and interacting with my bridesmaids, then running to my husband's location and doing the same. He even ran an errand for us so my sister wouldn't have to. We received our StoryBook a few weeks ago and it was absolutely amazing. I will and do recommend Making the Moment to every newly engaged person I meet. Photos of your wedding are priceless and I can't think of a better person I could have trusted them to than Brett.

Brett made the experience fun and painless. His artistic vision and skill resulted in photos greatly exceeding what we could have imagined. He is courteous, friendly, and easy going, but focused and very professional. We were also thankful for his flexibility in traveling with us to do the shoot. His staff shared the same proactive, professional, but friendly and fun demeanor. We love the services Making the Moment delivered!

Choosing Making the Moment to do our photos for our wedding day was one of the best decisions I made in the whole wedding planning process. Brett was great to deal with in the planning stages (both for the general photograph and the LiveBooth). He was awesome about calling and e-mailing right back and answering all of the questions I had as we figured things out. He is genuinely excited about your day and providing the best pictures possible. And our photographer, Benjamin, was awesome to deal with as well. He was great to talk to when we figured out the details of the day (and was as excited as Brett was about everything we had planned) and when the day finally arrived, he was amazing in person. He had an awesome personality and got along great with the wedding party. He was joking around with us (and rolling with the punches from my bridal party) pretty quickly after arriving at the salon to meet us. He was great at keeping us upbeat, but also finding a way to sneak in to take pictures when I least expected it (which I’m sure will result in the type of pictures I loved on their website). He was really good at keeping things moving along during the formal session at the church after the ceremony and then came up with some awesome set ups and ideas during the more creative session before the reception. Based on the general ideas he was relaying and the couple shots he showed us on the LCD on the back of his camera, I know that we’re going to get some amazing shots.

We also did the LiveBooth, which goes above and beyond any photobooth you might consider using. It was something we added on only a couple weeks before the big day, but it was worth every penny and I’m so glad we did it. Not only did everyone have a great time using the props (and being inspired/directed by the photographer Anna – who was such a blast – she even ended up joining a couple pictures since people liked her so much!), the pictures were up online on Monday morning after our wedding. It was awesome getting to see all the fun at the airport on our way out of town on our honeymoon – and also to get e-mails and texts from everyone telling us which ones they loved.

I can’t speak any more highly of everyone at Making the Moment and recommend them to everyone who might be getting married (or need any kind of professional photography) in the future.

Vince from Making the Moment was our photographer. He had a lot of really creative ideas and we ended up with some phenomenal shots. The comment we keep hearing over and over is "Your wedding photos/photographer are amazing!"

I am still amazed at the quality of our wedding photos. Not only that, but we didn't have to walk around with an awkward photographer all day....Brett was hilarious and was constantly thinking of innovative things to do. It was actually FUN! Our business really couldn't have gone to better people. They go above and beyond in every aspect. Best decision I made concerning our wedding.

Making the Moment Photography and its wonderful founder, Brett, are absolutely AMAZING. Truly the best decision we made in planning our wedding day. We had the pleasure of working with Brett for nearly 2 years from start to finish. From our initial meeting at Starbucks, to our fun-filled engagement session in the park, to the festivities on our big day and finally to receiving our beautiful storybook- every step of the journey has been so enjoyable and I couldn't think of anyone better to work with than Brett. He is such a genuine person and his energy and enthusiasm is so contagious, you can't help but be happy around him. Give Brett a call, mark photographer off your list of wedding to-dos and breathe easy knowing you will have BEAUTIFUL pictures of your wedding day to cherish forever :)

With Love, The Dawsons

What a dream come true Making the Moment was for us! Brett brought it all to the table: professionalism, dependability, flexibility, a fun and disarming attitude, and honest-to-God raw talent. On our wedding day, there were times when the sun was going down or the dining room was dark and I thought, "oh no, he'll never get these shots!" -Not only did he get them, but he captured beauty in every single one. For any couple looking for a unique yet elegant approach to wedding photography, these are they guys to work with.

My husband and I searched all over the country for the perfect photographer, and finding Making the Moment was a home run. We hope to work with Brett and his team in the future. Thanks so much Brett; your work means the world to us!

Much love,

Sarah and Dave Szczypinski

Truly one of the best decisions of my wedding! I actually rearranged my wedding date to make certain that they could shoot the day for us! Brett was amazing and was always super easy to get a hold of for questions, etc. Vince was perfect! He actually drove into town the day before our wedding to scope out places to take killer pictures. That's above and beyond! I can't tell you how many people are raving about our pictures. And yes, even though it's nice to hear that from others, I can honestly say that I love EVERY picture (all 663 of them!)

Brett,

Your company is amazing and would recommend to all couples. Our photograpers from Making the Moment were Kyle and Christina. They were absolutely fantastic to work with - very professional and made us laugh.

The photos my husband and I received were exactly what we wanted - some traditional but a lot of the others were the photojouralistic style - really capturing the moment. The Storybooks were wonderful - they are modern with a warm feel. Every photo tells a great story and we can relive that moment again. Our family and friends were in awe of the Story Books and just thought they were priceless. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the whole experience.

Again I thank you and your team for making our day so special and recreating it with these photos.

Warmest regards ~ Carleen

Making the Moment is amazing! My husband and I were married in September 2010. We booked Making the Moment in December 2009. The initial meeting with the owner Brett was great. He was extremely enthusiastic and made it clear how Making the Moment would capture our special day. He put us as ease immediately and the photo books he brought to show examples of their work were gorgeous.

My husband and I were not interested in a traditional wedding photographer. We wanted photojournalistic, moment capturing, spontaneous images from our wedding day. Making the Moment absolutely exceeded these expectations. Our photographer spent the entire day with us. The photos that resulted are amazing! We were blown away by the final product.

We also ordered a photobook from Making the Moment and while we have not seen the finished product yet, we are confident it will be amazing.

I would also like to say that their customer service is amazing. Emails and phone calls are answered almost immediately. Any problem or concern addressed and fixed.

You were not be disappointed if you chose Making the Moment!!! Book now!

The unique style of Making the Moment photography is what initially drew me in, but after the initial meeting, we knew there was no other choice because of how genuine, easy-going, and caring they are!

We had Brett as our photographer and he did an excellent job of making us feel relaxed and at ease in front of the camera.It was perfect, especially since my husband is not one who enjoys getting his picture taken. Brett kept us laughing throughout our sessions with him, with his witty sense of humor and fun ideas for shots! Making the moment was the one thing I know we got right for our wedding because now we have storybook photos that captured memories forever.
Such a great company to use for your wedding!

Making the Moment provided me with a better quality product than I could have hoped for on my wedding day! Photography that starts the moment you start getting ready that continues through the reception is unheard of for the amazing price that Making the Moment offers! My storybook is now proudly displayed in my house and friends contantly comment on how they wish they could have something similar. Of all the things I would change with my wedding, working with this company does not make the list. I would reuse them again and again! Making the Moment is truly an outstanding company with amazing photographers and a beautiful finished product!

Making the Moment did the photography for our wedding in May. I could not have been more pleased with the contact regarding the wedding preparations, the actual photographer/wedding party interactions on the Big Day and our beautiful wedding photos we received. Everyone I show the photos to raves about what a beautiful job was done. Making the Moment gives every second of a bride's (and groom's!) day special thought and it was a pleasure working with them - I would hire them again in a second!

We used Making the Moment photography for our Sept 2010 wedding. We wanted something fun & unique for our pictures. Photo's are something that lasts a lifetime, they link you into the memories of the day. We were so lucky to be able to book them for our engagement pictures from Brett & then our wedding with Jeff. These guys were open to thoughts ideas that we had. & they came up with some surprise's of their own. The pictures that we had seen from their previous weddings were just so different & unique. We wanted that! We got Fun & different, they captured so much of the wedding & personalities. We didn't want the traditional pictures. The service, the respect, the fun, you name it - Comparing prices & pkg's what photographers give you & what they don't... Making the Moment gave us everything & more of what we wanted. For the prices of the pkgs we right in line with other photographers- BUT, When you weigh the options the time the service the promptness, the quality there shouldn't be a question on who to work with. We want to do this experience all over again because we had so much fun with them!
Amazing, simply Amazing!

Words can't even begin to describe how impressed my husband and I were with Making the Moment. We had Brett for our wedding day and we felt truly blessed! He was such a great personality to add to our special day. And the pictures... wow. Words can't even begin to describe how happy we are. We'll treasure these memories forever. Thanks again Brett!

Brett and his photographers from Making the Moment were the best decision we made planning our wedding. They made me feel like a superstar on our wedding day, left nothing for me to worry/think about before/during/after the wedding. My family and wedding party STILL talk about how great Brett and his photogs were, and how amazing the quality of pictures are. He is a well known name all around now! If you want a photog that is a perfect 5, with the most AMAZING pictures ever, book Making the Moment WITHOUT hesitation. You will NOT regret it!!
