Update: They did a complete refund, we didnt get everything we wanted and planned for but they did their best to make it right.
My husband had been talking to him for weeks about a photo session in Ohio. It was my children's birthday, and he canceled on us at 5:00 AM—just when we were ready—leaving us with no time to find anyone else. We were on vacation in Ohio, and he ruined everything we had planned for our kids.

Sean and Emily were fantastic! They were super helpful in planning the engagement and helped scouting out the location beforehand. They very responsive throughout the whole process. They made my fiancee and I extremely comfortable throughout engagementphoto shoot. They also got us some early pictures back in a few days to send to family and friends. Highly recommend.

Hi Jimmy,
Thank you for the thoughtful review!
It's been a pleasure working with you! You picked a beautiful location, so scouting & shooting were lots of fun!!!
You were juggling a lot leading up to the proposal - so careful communication was key! We appreciate your planning & communication too. It was a true team effort! 😊
We were happy to share a holiday sneak peek with you two. And we look forward to sharing the full gallery with you soon.
Congratulations again to you both!!!

Great experience getting engagementphotos. They helped guide my fiance and I with how to pose and they selected beautiful areas for a variety of different backgrounds for the photos.

Hey Tonya,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review on our services! We really appreciate that. Hey you guys were a lot of fun to photograph and Emily and I had a great time. Couldn’t have asked for better personalities to help guide through the engagement photography process. Like I said, “it’s like a double date, except with cameras.”
You guys were great double dates! Enjoy your photos and Good luck with the wedding planning!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Our pricing is pretty easy. Most of our clients will pay $150-$200 as a sitting fee for portrait or headshot services. We sell images A La Carte from there.
Image Price Breakdown:
1-8 images = $21.50/each
9-16 images = $18.50/each
17-24 images = $15.50/each
We find that pricing this way eliminates packages where clients are stressed about the amount of images they are getting and how to use all of them. With this system, you only pay for what you want and nothing else. Of course, we’re also happy to create a custom package to fit your needs, budget, or style so Please contact Sean or Emily at Opal & Agate Photography directly for details.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We always clarify the detail of the job first. This helps to ensure you get everything you want from your photo shoot. It also helps us get to know you as a person, so we can personalize the preparation for your shoot.
At your shoot, we don’t start shooting right away. We make sure you're comfortable and relaxed, so we capture the real you. People like genuine.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Our main photographer has a BFA in Photography and almost 20 years experience as a natural landscape and portrait photographer.
