    Tennikka and Tara from Studio 3 Photography are AMAZING!!!! From the first time my husband and I walked into the studio and met Tennikka, we knew she was fantastic! She was fun, had a great personality and sense of humor, and their prices were awesome! Our engagement session was so much fun! They had some great poses and just did a great job capturing our personalities in the photos. I knew after seeing them our wedding pictures would be incredible! I wanted outdoor photos for our wedding, but with a February wedding, the weather didn't exactly cooperate. Tara was a trooper and attempted some outdoor shots with the guys, but with extremely high winds and freezing cold temperatures, it just wasn't going to work. As devastated as I was at the time, they thought out of the box and came up with awesome ideas for indoor shots at the hotel. They were very fun, professional, and Tara was quite the acrobat climbing on anything necessary to get the best shot. I highly recommend Tennikka and Tara from Studio 3 Photography! I am sure we will be using them again in the future for family photos!!!!

    Terra and Tenkia(sorry prob spelling wrong) were amazing! Made us laugh our whole engagement session. Tenkia was there for the wedding and she was amazing. I have heard horror stories about photographers being bossy but not Tenkia. Would recommend to anyone!

    We had such a great time with you guys! Our pictures are beautiful, candid and just what we wanted!

    On a personal note, I have to commend how well you worked with all the kids in our wedding party. Us deciding to have four flower girls and two ring bearers really shocked a lot pf people...who told us we were crazy! I could 100% tell you guys either had kids or take a lot of kids pictures because breaking in to an elmo song and dance to get the kids to smile during the group pictures was something I dont think a lot of photographers would do. You go the extra mile...and that SAYS A LOT!!

    We couldnt be happier with our pictures, our video AND our photobooth pictures. Thank you ladies!!

    The whole crew of photographers at Studio 3 at great to work with. Terra and Tennikka spent a lot of time going over our personal style and the shots we wanted for our engagement photos and the wedding. They were always on time, attentive to detail, and professional. Our pictures were fabulous and exactly what we wanted.

    I cannot say enough good things about Studio 3 Photography, and how happy we were with our choice in our photographer for the wedding!

    From start to finish, Studio 3 was incredibly flexible and accommodating in helping us to plan our wedding. My husband and I live out of town, which made it difficult at times to meet with vendors, but Studio3 was always willing to set up night appointments or weekend appointments... which I cannot stress enough how helpful this was!

    Their prices are also incredibly affordable, and they offer wonderful package options that can fit into any budget and capture everything that you need. We chose to go with a package that included an "informal photobooth" which was AWESOME. They provided a third photographer to be at our wedding all night, to take snaphots of our guests with silly costumes and props, or nice group photos of family and friends. The best part about this type of photobooth is that you can fit 10 - 15 people in a shot! :)

    Studio 3 did a wonderful job of taking the "planned" photos that we knew we wanted pictures of (like all of our family shots, for example), while also capturing all of the little candid moments of our wedding that are so special! We have so many great photos of my husband and I during the cake cutting (smashing!) and of all of our friends and family cutting loose out on the dance floor. So many photographers that I've seen at friend's weddings are too occupied with the "artsy" shots that they miss out on the simple photos that I think everyone should have to remember their wedding day... or the other way around... they take too many boring/"posed" shots and don't capture the fun of the event. But Studio 3 did an amazing job of balancing the two... and we couldn't be happier with our photos!

    I'd highly recommend Studio 3 Photography to anyone who asks... you'll have a blast working with these ladies! :)

    I absolutely loved working with the girls from Studio 3!!!! They were amazing and caring and funny!! Definitely made our wedding much more fun! The only issue was in receiving our save the dates from our engagement session (it never did come in the mail) but other wise on the day of the ceremony everything turned our beautifully!!!

    Do NOT use S3P!

    Paid for a photo booth, rearranged the reception area due to said photo booth, all for them to "forget" about it on the day of the wedding. My returned check for the forgotten photo booth took multiple reminder calls to receive it. I don't own any of my wedding photos because the quality was so poor and there are obvious photo shots missing (I have none of my flower girl & ring bearer together, none of my flower girl coming down the aisle, etc, etc). I tell absolutely everyone I meet to stay the heck away from this company!

    If you are a person that does not want to hear back from someone and wait forever on what you paid for then by all means use them. It has now been 10 months and still waiting on our album!!!. Emailed them (twice) starting on the 19th and it is the 31st still have not heard back. Oh and also put a phone call into them as well. They said the reason for the other bad review was their ceiling caved in. What will they use this time. Just save you self the frustration and use someone else.

    We hired Studio 3 to take our Engagement Pictures and also our Wedding Pictures. While the engagement shots were beautiful, the follow up service for the engagement pictures and our inability to get a return phone call or email the closer we got to our wedding date, ultimately made us choose to walk away from our security deposit rather than face the chance of not having a photographer on our wedding day. Perhaps the fact that they were late for our first meeting without apology should have tipped us off! They do great work, however their lack of organization and follow thru made communication a hassle. We had to drive to pick up our pictures last minute, only to find they were the wrong ones. Photos available for downloading were also the wrong ones. When they finally shipped the correct photos we had missed our deadline of mailing out our engagement pictures, which were taken in October, for a Christmas Greeting. Finding a replacement was a stressor we didn’t need 4 weeks before the big day but having the peace of mind was worth it in the end. I still feel they should return our deposit…but we shall see if they will do the right thing.

    It's so sad - they're reasonably priced, and I do love my pictures. They were great the day of the wedding. The issue is: they really don't return phone calls or texts. I received many of the same excuses as others listed that one was in the hospital, etc. I do have to admit that I feel like Tennikka really does try to get back to you for the most part and get you what you're supposed to get. We never received our video because apparently the videographer has been "committed." They did provide a refund, but unfortunately the $450 doesn't really cover what we lost. I really, really want to be able to give them a good review, since like I said, they're fun to work with in person and I do love my pictures, but so many disappointments make it not worth it.

    They were horrible. The only thing I regret from my wedding is hiring them. Everything they told us they would do took at least 3 times longer than what they said if they did it at all. They do not call back for weeks. We had to leave multiple messages to ever get an answer and then they would either tell us that they didn't know anything or they would lie to us. Our pictures were never put online. It took us over a month to get our disc of pictures form them after we were told they were ready. They told us twice that they mailed a disc to us that we never got. When they finally did send us a disc it was blank and we had to wait for another one that was missing pictures. They cancelled every meeting except one that we tried to set up with them, always by texting us the morning of our meeting and then not calling us. The only meeting they kept, when we got to the studio they didn't even have our pictures, we were told they were at Terra's house. They constantly gave us excuses telling us they emailed/called/sent us something in the mail that we never got. After months of this it gets hard to believe. Also our video was a disaster. The videographer was late to the ceremony which is something they lied about until we saw the video and the quality of it was obviously not done by a professional. And we were told the reception video was corrupted and they didn't have it anymore. They did send us a refund for part of our money but we had to constantly call and text them to get it. They told us it would take 60 days, after that time had gone my husband was able to get a hold of Tennika and she told him they didn't have the money to send us. After he left more messages and threatened to get a lawyer they finally sent us a check. If they agree to refund you make sure you ask for something in writing. If I didn't they probably would have never sent us the check and just made up another story.

    We really enjoyed meeting Terra and Tennika. They seemed really nice, and some of their pictures are beautiful. Don't be fooled, though. Any time I tried to contact them, it took weeks to get a response. I should have realized something was up when I was told I was going to get a link for our engagement pictures and didn't for two weeks. I was told that it was my email that was the issue, so I even created a new email account. I called them the week of the wedding to confirm the schedule, and it took at least 10 phone calls or text messages before I finally heard back. Unnecessary stress the week of the wedding. On the morning of the wedding, they arrived late with no phone call. During the reception, I wanted pictures taken with my friends, and I found them sitting at a table relaxing. After the wedding was over, it took two months of phone calls and text messages to actually get my pictures. (They never received the emails and they dropped their phone in the toilet twice...really??) Almost a year later, I am yet to even receive paperwork for my album that I paid for. Do yourself a favor, do not book Studio 3 for your wedding!

    Do not book unless you never want a straight answer or a call back or receive your pics and video. They have made up so many excuses to why they are behind or why they haven't gotten back to me even to the point of saying they didn't receive the emails so my "email must not work." I had trouble getting in contact with them the week of my wedding and that's with 15+ calls, texts, and emails a month before with no return. This was the only regret of my wedding day.

    they are the worst! I have been waiting now 8 months for our wedding pictures, and have received NOTHING. We have seen proofs online, and have been told several times that they sent our dvd out with the pictures, but they didn't have a tracking number either time, and we have not received the dvds yet. They say they have called me several times, and there must be something wrong on my end, but that excuse doesn't work with email, phone, AND Facebook messages. I have been told multiple times that " everything will be in next week" for the past 4 months now, and am going to hire a lawyer to get my contractually promised products, and hopefully get a portion of our money back.

    DO NOT USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER! They have an F rating with the BBB. It's been a year and a half since my wedding and we still don't have any printed pictures or the photo books we purchased. Their contract says that your pictures will be available within 4-6 weeks. It was 11 weeks before we even had proof that they had taken pictures at our wedding. We were very diligent with our follow up. We have emailed multiple times. We've called. We've attempted to make an appointment. They have never replied. They are only in the studio for appointments so we can't just go to the office and surprise them. We paid over $2000 for my wedding pictures and we have NOTHING to show for it. DO NOT GET CAUGHT IN THEIR TRAP. It's heartbreaking to not have pictures of your wedding to share with people. It's also very embarrassing to have to explain that you were scammed by your wedding photographers. Walk right past their booth at Bridalrama.
