Hey Patricia, the pictures look great. We were so excited and pleasantly surprised to see you had all the pictures done when we got back.

We would definitely recommend Illusion of Grandeur to anyone! We had a hard time finding a photographer that would meet all our needs, but the first time I talked to Patricia on the phone I knew they were just the kind of photographers we needed. They were so flexible and made sure to fit our package to what we needed.

We did an engagement shoot with them and they were so fun to work with. They are so good at directing and posing you while still taking your input and ideas. After seeing how great our engagement pictures turned out we knew we did not have to worry about the wedding pictures at all. The practice shoot was also great because we knew we would get just what we wanted on the wedding day.

The wedding day went perfectly, the pictures were fun to take and of course they turned out great! We got every picture we wanted and more. The best part was, the pictures were all ready for us to see when we got back from our honeymoon! I've never heard of anyone getting their wedding pictures back so fast. Basically, you guys are awesome! We were so happy with you, thanks so much. We knew we never had to stress about the pictures. Thanks again!!!

We don't know how to begin thanking you for your outstanding and wonderful service as our wedding photographers!

We can honestly say that you were THE BEST vendor we had at our wedding and we were so fortunate to get to know you guys and have you as our photographers. From your speedy replies to my compulsive emails to driving all the way to Issaquah to meet us and then again to visit the venue, to just giving me advice about non-photography (but wedding related) matters, we literally don't know how in the world to thank you.

From the very first visit we knew we were lucky to have found you guys. It was obvious that if there was one vendor we didn't have to worry about after signing the contract, it would be you. You were there way earlier than you were supposed to show up and every time we looked either one of you was taking a picture of something but never were you in anyone's way.

We sincerely appreciate all your dedication and time and all the driving you did (Olympia to Issaquah is not a short distance!) to document our wedding day for us.

You definitely exceeded our expectations with your professional attitude and work and I would wholeheartedly recommend you to every future bride in Seattle. If you ever need a reference, we'd love it if you use our names because we'd love to tell everyone about our experience in great detail. Thank you so much for EVERYTHING!

Just wanted to say Thank you for your wonderful work! It was great working with you, and I'd definitely recommend you for anyone that wants to do a Trash the Dress shoot.

I had so much fun, and I love my pictures! You were so easy to work with, and even waited with me while I changed my tire, that's when I knew I'd found a good photographer. Again, Thanks so much! I loved it!

What a wonderful experience! Patricia worked so well with the kids which was no easy feat considering one was almost two and the other four! I really appreciated that it wasn't a sit down formal portrait setting, so my daughter was able to have fun while I received great pictures. The whole shoot was very low stress for me which I absolutely LOVED. The pictures turned out beautiful and the online process for getting them was simple, it was nice to do it all on my own schedule as well.

Patricia also did my maternity portraits which was another great experience. The pictures turned out so well you could never tell I was feeling grumpy and bloated and was complaining about being pregnant the whole time. Patricia somehow managed to capture moments where I looked at peace and happy.. which was an awesome thing since I felt neither at the time! I had such great experiences both times that I am going to have Illusion of Grandeur photograph my wedding vow renewal ceremony.
