Rose does AMAZING work. I absolutely LOVE our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. She is great to work with, very helpful, relaxed, and fun. I would highly recommend her and will most likely be using her again in the future for family pictures, etc.

Rose was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding. We live out of state and she was very helpful answering questions and communicating via email. She was open to my suggestions and ideas for photo ops. When we received our pictures we were blown away! We have received so many compliments on them. My only regret was not living in MI to get our engagement pictures done.

Rose did both our engagement and wedding pictures and her style was very creative and unique, capturing my husband and I's love for each other! We have numerous pictures up in our house now and you can still feel our emotions just by looking at them! Rose was very easy to work with and was great at responding to me anytime I reached out to her with questions. I would highly recommend Rose!

Rose is super fun and wonderful to work with. I was planning my hometown wedding from thousands of miles away and never once wained on my decision to use Spark Creative as my wedding photographer, even with out meeting her in person until my wedding day! She was always as excited about my wedding as I was and could grasp the same feel I was looking for in wedding pictures. Rose always made me feel comfortable, especially when the nerves were at their worst! Her and her sister (assistant) were always relaxed which helped keep the tone for everyone else in our wedding party and families. There was never a stressful moment for us, even when we were rushing against mother nature, we got all the pictures we wanted and didn't feel like we missed out on anything!

I rate Spark Creative Photography a strong 5 stars. I could not be happier with the images I received. Every moment (even the unpredictable ones) were captured in a creative way. Rose is professional, yet knows how to have fun with it! Some photographers tend to be in the wrong place at the wrong time leaving some guests unable to see the excitement. Rose has a way of being everywhere she needs to be, but blends in at the same time. Believe me... the guests appreciate that too!!!

Spark Creative did an amazing job at our wedding and during our engagement session. Rose is so easy to work with and is always eager to make you happy! She is on top of things and takes a lot of stress off of the bride on the wedding day. I loved how our photos turned out and so did my friends and family. I have received many compliments on the photography and two of my friends have already booked Spark Creative Photography for their weddings as well!

We actually got to work with Rose by miracle. Our original photographer cancelled on us about three months before our wedding. Somehow, Rose still had our date available. I cannot tell you how happy I am with the way it all worked out.
I can't say a bad thing about Rose or her business, we loved working with her. She was so flexible and fun to work with, her and her sister make a wonderful pair.
We had to be the most difficult wedding party to work with - between the high maintenance maid of honor and groomsman with a toothpick/giggle problem... we were just a crazy mess. She was somehow able to put up with us AND make us look amazing!
I would recommend Spark Creative Photography to any bride out there. Honestly, you will NOT be disappointed.

I was very impressed with how quickly Rose also responded to my calls or emails. It truly added to my overall experience with Rose and showed her professionalism by how she treats her clients.

I would highly recommend using Spark Creative Photography! Rose was awesome to work with and she did an amazing job on my wedding photos. Her prices are fair and she was willing to create a wedding package with everything I wanted included.

Rose was an AMAZING photographer to work with and I would reccommend her to anyone! She was such a joy to work with, and her prices were good. She made us feel comfortable, and being able to do our engagement pics with her before the wedding allowed us to get to know her before the big day. Two thumbs up! =)

We absolutely loved working with Rose! She was easy to communicate with, she bent over backwards to make us happy, and she did it all for a reasonable price. Just remember, when your wedding is over and everyone goes home, all you are left with are your pictures.

Yea i know 5/5 but Rose did a fabulous job! I tried to think if there was anything i had a problem with and she really was great. Planning is frustrating especially when u can't get ahold of the people but not with Rose she responded so quickly when ever i had questions or favors. She was so professional and a joy to work with. Her sister helped her and also did a great job they were a good team and having that extra person made a big difference. I was so excited to see the pictures and i was amazed at how many she took i did not realize she took that many our day went great and she was in the shadows capturing it all! Pictures were a huge deal to me and i was so happy and the fact that she releases the right of your pictures to you is a HUGE deal!

Rose was not only AMAZING to work with but her photography speaks volumes!! She has a hidden talent to pull out the individuals' personality in her work. Rose has a keen eye that is edgy and fresh. She has taken photography to a new level and would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for fanaminal photography at a great price!!

We found Spark Creative online, just like we found our venues and all our vendors. We started the wedding planning process less than 4 months ahead of time and only had a brief 4 days in Western Michigan to make all of our decisions. We definitely were nervous about having to make such hasty decisions based on reviews and a brief meeting, but choosing to have Rose with Spark Creative shoot our wedding was one decision we weren't anxious about. Rose took time to meet with us on our last day in town on short notice even though she had a really full weekend. She put us totally at ease and we left feeling as though regardless of how any other aspect of the wedding went, we would have pictures that would be fantastic.

My sister and I both went with Spark Creative for our wedding photographer and she did a GREAT job! She caught a lot of great cadid shots that helped us relive our wedding day long after it was over:). I actually laughed and cried while looking through our pictures the first couple times! We received WAY more pictures then we expected, and we got them back in less than a month after our wedding day! If you live around the Grand Rapids area, you would be crazy not to hire Spark Creative for your wedding!! Trust me, I've already referred a lot of friends:)

Spark Creative did a fabulous job photographing my wedding and reception. Rose was very professional, but easy to work with. She made everyone feel very comfortable and we had a great time taking pictures. Her pictures were so creative, and she had all of the little details caught on camera. Rose had photos posted for me too see within a week and had all of them edited and back to me so quickly! Looking through the pictures, it brought back every emotion and special moment that we had throughout the day. Really, pictures is all you have left after the day is over, and our pictures did so much to re-create the wedding day in our minds and remember all of the details and emotions. I would highly recommend Spark Creative photography.

We were very impessed with Rose. She took great photos! People have even said the photos belong in a bridal magazine. We highly recommend Spark Creative Photography!!

Spark Creative did a fantastic job on my wedding photos! I would use them again without even considering other photographers, and even recommended them to my best friend for her wedding. They did another incredible job for her!

The photography that Spark Creative provided for our wedding was spectacular. We were looking for traditional, candid, and creative (fun) shots and we received all of those!! They were very thorough, prompt, and worked closely with us to make sure we were happy.

I loved how they captured our wedding in ways we never would have seen. I have had lots of people compliment us on our photos. They were patient with the children in the wedding party and made sure the pictures were to their satisfaction before moving on.

Then, they did beautiful work touching up photos and adding different styles (black-and-white mixed with color in the same shot). I was very impressed all around and highly recommend them.

I hired Spark Creative after seeing their work from a friend's wedding and was not disappointed! Rose and Kat were amazing to work with and everyone felt at ease. They worked with the shots we wanted and came up with beautiful shots on their own. I love every shot we've seen of our wedding by them and highly recommend their services.

We didn't have much to choose from for our wedding announcement for the newspaper. We would have liked more closeups of just the two of us to use for this purpose. It may have been helpful to have more direction about ideas of different pictures to have taken.
Overall, we are very thankful for the job done and appreciate their flexibility and willingness to stay into the reception.

I was thrilled with Rose's engagement and wedding pictures. Very professional and reasonable photographer. I did feel very rushed through family pictures as well and didn't end up with a picture with my mother. But, I'm partially to blame because I didn't ask for it I guess. Overall, great quality photos.

Rose and Kat from Spark Creative were great! Not only did they offer reasonable prices, but the quality of their work was excellent. Their two-person team was able to cover so much more than one photographer could have. The mix of color and black and white photos was stunning, and they were able to offer a CD of electronic files. We would definitely recommend them to any couple planning their big day.

There are many, many photos that I absolutely love from our wedding, they are candid, sharp, with beautiful colors and they bring tears to my eyes. I've framed a great deal of them and will treasure them forever. However, there were certain things both my family and I were left disappointed with. We were expecting more direction from the photographer in terms of reminding us to take important shots with family members, as well as generally do photographer things like line people up correctly and making the composition of the shot look nice. We felt a bit rushed through portraits with family and ended up with no portrait of the bride with MOB, and the family photo in a hotel lobby could have been better composed. I will give credit where credit is due - Rose did try to Photoshop a picture of my mom and I together to make up for it, which was appreciated. She was flexible in terms of her packages and prices (which is so great for any bride on a budget), her emails were always prompt and courteous and she was professional in her correspondence. She was always on time as well. I would recommend, if you are going with Spark Creative, to make sure to be very detailed and specific about when, how and what you want in terms of shots. Make sure to communicate your needs and desires and don't think that a picture will be taken because it is common sense to you - communicate with the photographer to make it happen. Rose has great talent in photography, I just wish we had better managed my expectations of pictures for the wedding day.
