Best Photography experience ever!

We are absolutely AMAZED at our wedding photos from Cheri. We planned a destination beach wedding in Florida from Texas, so it was a little stressful to make arrangements for things from so far away. Cheri was so responsive and helpful, which that made us very comfortable with her reliability. We also had a wedding at 10am, which means that pictures were taken between 10-1pm. We were praying for overcast but it ended up being super sunny. The day itself was beautiful but I knew photos would be very difficult with a high noon shadow line. Cheri was just amazing. We knew she would do well by looking through her albums but she outdid herself. Our pictures are just amazing. I just couldn't have even imagined how beautiful they would turn out. There are not crazy shadows and everyone looks amazing. She also had my photos back to me in less than 2 weeks. I know delivery depends on her schedule but we were super impressed and grateful. We got over 350+ amazing photos. I would recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful wedding photos, especially if you are by the beach + dealing with the sun! She is amazing!

Personal Paparazzi Photography is definitely the most bang for you buck! Cheri Salvetti not only takes the best pictures available, but is the most professional photographer you will ever experience. For obvious reasons, I do not take making recommendations lightly, but I have recommended PPP many times, and it is always very appreciated.
THANK YOU CHERI!

Ms. Cheri did an amazing job on our beautiful wedding pictures. It was so hot and miserable on the beach and she handled it great. I highly recommend her for any special event in your life. Very affordable as well as professional.

Are you interested?

I couldn't have picked a more professional or fun photographer to capture special moments of my small beach wedding. She made us feel very comfortable and most importantly it was fun with an outstanding ending product. Our pictures are more than we could have asked for. I would definitely use Cheri again! Five stars isn't enough!

WOW - and I don't give out WOW's regularly. Ms. Salvetti, (Cheri) was a perfect fit for our event, and I feel certain she would be for any occasion. This was coordinated over the phone and via email until day of - and in spite of the lack of "getting together" Cheri was on top of everything. I like a person who is in charge and works without much "direction"... Cheri was not only that, but she made sure "We" had all the shots we needed. This was somewhat of a difficult event due to it moving as the day went. Some of the shots are "CLASSICS" and instead of photographs, they are indeed art.

Cheri did such a great job, I plan to engage her for our Summer Vacation Beach shoot, coming up soon. I have no doubt, whatever you are doing, Personal Paparazzi Photography will do a wonderful job. Cheir, was responsive from the beginning, stayed in touch and I never, ever felt in doubt...and that is of utmost importance. She also went past the time we had originally allotted without hesitation. Thank you Cheri and Personal Paparazzi Photography, we will relive our event over and over.

In communication with me, Cheri was professional, helpful, and prompt. Cheri arrived at the requested time and immediately began to help my wedding party to take pictures and to prepare for the upcoming ceremony. She had helpful advice for many things throughout the day and showed expertise in setting up shots for best use of environment and lighting. I would gladly recommend Cheri to any couple looking for a photographer.

Cheri,

I can't even explain how much I love the photos you took of my parents' vow renewal ceremony. They mean the world to us! You did an amazing job at capturing the emotion and excitement of that very special day. We almost didn't hire a professional photographer for our event; however, I am so glad that we chose to have a professional do the job and even more so, I'm glad we chose you. You were punctual, professional, courteous, and highly skilled at capturing our special memories from multiple perspectives. Photos are the ONLY thing besides memories that will remain from that day - and the ones you took are SO very special and worth every penny. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

Cheri did a great job photographing our wedding- she had great ideas for pictures and was flexible with our ever-changing photography plans for the day (due to late hair/makeup artists). She would test shots to ensure the lighting and scene would be exactly as they should be. She worked tirelessly and produced great photos in the end!

Cheri is one of the easiest people to work with! She's a quick thinker and great at providing direction. She has a great eye and was able to capture moments in my wedding that I didn't even notice! I could not ask for more in a photographer. I agree with the other reviews that she has an amazing eye for detail. She also makes you feel very comfortable and the pictures are perfect as a result. Thank you so so much, Cheri!

Cheri Salvetti of Personal Paparazzi is the most professional photographer I have encountered. In the Spring of 2014 I had the opportunity to watch several un-named photographers at the weddings of friends and relatives. The other photographers literally got in the way of the family viewing the ceremony! Ms. Salvetti was nothing like that. No one even noticed that she was there. People said, "Oh, I did not know she caught that" and other expressions to that effect. Personally, I think that is just how photography should be. I could not have been more pleased with the work that Ms. Salvetti did at our wedding. The pictures are fabulous. One last thing. My venue changed at the last minute and Ms. Salvetti did not skip a beat. She is awesome.

Our daughter was married this past weekend. We live in Virginia, the wedding in Florida. Our daughter found her online, was impressed w/her work, so she chose her. Well, I will say, I was impressed as well. She was prompt, take TONS of pics, and has answered every question via email that I have sent to her, promptly! I would recommend her very much!

Thanks again Cheri. Mrs Evans, mother-of-the-bride!!

Cheri was absolutely the best photographer we could've ever dreamed of having for our wedding! She has a personality that just vibes automatically with everyone she meets and it pulls you in.. It was as if we've known her our whole lives with how comfortable we were with her and Wow does it ever show in our pictures!! Our pictures our truly gorgeous and she definitely brought out the best in us and our families and I can not wait to share them with everyone. We will definitely be using her for any future photography needs and wouldn't want anyone but Cheri from now on!! Truly the best, most down to earth, and extremely talented photographer on the coast!!
Thank you so much Cheri for making our wedding pictures something we can treasure for a lifetime.. You're amazing ;)

Cheri was an absolute pleasure to work with! Right from the beginning she understood the aesthetic I was looking for when it came to our wedding photos. Our wedding was casual and laid-back and Cheri managed to maintain that vibe with the pictures and even got us to take a few formal/posed looks as well :) Cheri made sure to maximize the time allotted for pictures and I'm absolutely thrilled with the turnout. Not only was the turnaround time incredibly fast, Cheri's handiwork and artistic eye captured the perfect moments on our special day :)

My husband and I were amazed at how many fantastic shots we had to select from and we are both thoroughly impressed with Cheri's talent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fun-loving wedding photographer!!!

Thank you so much for your services!

Cheri Salvetti is the best photographer/music package in the business! She came from Ocean Springs, MS to little Springfield, LA to take my niece's bridal photos, & then again in December for the wedding pictures. Not only is she an excellent photographer, but she has music to fit your tastes & venue. The DJ/band combo was great. They weren't too loud so people could still talk. She's easy to work with & can handle any occasion you have - birthday, wedding, graduation, family reunions!! Thanks again for the BEAUTIFUL pictures.

Cheri of Personal Paparrazi was a joy to work with for our wedding photography. Professional and friendly every step of the way, she did everything she could to help alleviate some of the stress of wedding photo planning. From meeting in person, to going back and forth via email several times, Cheri worked diligently with me to create the vision I had for my wedding photos. On our wedding day she was on time, creative (as usual, things don't always go as planned on a wedding day, and with the unanticipated hot weather that day, Cheri quickly was able to come up with some alternate shots and locations around our venue to avoid the sweltering sun) and just great! The photos turned out great and were ready to view within just a few days of the wedding. I was very satisfied with her service, and would highly recommend her to others for their special event.

I was so overwhelmed with everything with my wedding that photos were not of my concern. I am so sad now that the event is over that I felt that way. Cheri was adamant on getting pictures of my special day event if it was bugging me to death and I am so thankful!! Thanks to her, I got pictures to cherish!! My wedding party loved her!

Cheri took our wedding ceremony and reception photographs in Pensacola. Not only did the pictures turn out beautifully, but Cheri was an absolute pleasure to work with. I honestly only noticed her a few times throughout the reception because I was so busy enjoying my wedding, and was shocked to see she had taken over 500 pictures. She was never in the way, or distracting (which I have seen at other weddings). Even our guests have commented on how professional, quick, and diligent she seemed. We couldn't be more pleased with how our pictures turned out, and we couldn't recommend Cheri any more highly.

We highly recommend Personal Paparazzi Photography to anyone needing professional photography service. Cheri Salvetti created wonderful engagement photos for us and although the time and background options for our wedding were limited , she was able to capture many beautiful images that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. Even with another wedding scheduled a few hours before ours, she arrived on time for our wedding as promised and gave us exceptional service.

Five months after my wedding is the first time I'm able to actually write this review. I am not writing this in anger, but with a true sadness that I hope no other bride/groom ever experiences. My experience with Personal Paparazzi Photography was heartbreakingly bad.

Cheri was unresponsive, unprofessional, unprepared and unapologetic. She was late, frazzled and missed crucial, must-have shots. For example, I don't have a single photo with my siblings. I have two photos of my husband, me and our daughter - one of which she is not looking at the camera. I have one to two photos of my husband and I with each of our families.

She asked my guests to assist her in holding her photography equipment for photos...guests in a tux...that I wanted in the photos. For the five hours she was there, she took 287 pictures.

I was heartbroken when the photos came online and I saw them. I emailed Cheri letting her know my feedback and saying "I hope you can use this feedback to better serve your customers in the future." She responded with a RUDE, childish response outlining how she was right and did nothing wrong. I then threatened to post her email on sites, to which she responded, "As an artist, we can sometimes take criticism personally. So setting that aside, here is what I can do for you... I will give you $100 off any gallery purchase of prints of your choice along with the prints that come with your package from your online gallery."

That was offensive. My parents paid $1,250 for the Silver Package. We got eight photos.

Of these eight, we aren't thrilled with any. I found out later that Cheri photographed the Mayor's wedding hours before mine in another state! This probably contributed to her sad performance. She should have just said no, and I could have found a photographer who would have given their undivided attention to one of the most important days of my life. I can't describe how it feels to know that I will never get that opportunity back.
