    Iris Photography does it again!

    Jane and Mike Shauk of Iris Photography are the best of the best! We just used them for the second time at my younger daughter's wedding in Montauk, NY and they went above and beyond to capture every special moment of the weekend! We had to adjust our plans at the last minute because of unexpected weather issues and Jane and Mike accommodated us at every turn. They came early on Friday to shoot the bride and groom at an outdoor location that was not going to be an option on Saturday. They visited the indoor site in advance to locate the best locations and backgrounds for all the formal shots. Jane and Mike are both delightful to work with, easy to communicate with and best of all, capture beautiful images. Their work is impressive and memorable. We will cherish their photographs for years to come!

    Incredible

    We got married in the rain, which could have ruined all of the photos, but Jane and Michael made it work, and the pictures came out incredible. They are true pros, and make the entire experience fun and enjoyable.

    Mike worked our wedding and reception ... and we couldn't have asked for more in a wedding photographer.

    Throughout the process -- initial contact, planning and prep, and execution -- IRIS was first class in every way. Mike was gracious in allowing a friend of ours to video the proceedings, he was amenable to our requests and suggestions while taking the formal pictures, and he was unobtrusive while taking shots throughout the reception. It seemed like every time a group of friends or family got together, Mike was there to document it. Even on the dance floor.

    Is it normal to want to be good friends with your photographer once the event is over? The other part of Mike's service was his attitude -- upbeat, friendly, positive, encouraging, and helpful. Brianna and I can't recommend IRIS more highly.

    Jane was my photographer this past June at my wedding in Farmington, CT. She is a true delight to work with. She is very talented and does beautiful work. She is responsive and accommodating. She managed to get spectacular shots even with our very large wedding parties (including babies/toddlers) running around. She was so patient! I highly recommend her for any photographic needs.

    Jane & Mike were wonderful from the minute I had my first phone conversation with them through to the day of the wedding. They are professional, organized and extremely talented photoghraphers. On top of that, they are just wonderful people and really helped contribute to a relaxed and fun-filled wedding day. Thanks Jane and Mike for helping us capture beautiful memories of our special day!!

    Jane & Mike of Iris Photography were the best choice for our Wedding Day Photographers. They were so easy to work with, made us feel completely at ease, and captured such beautiful pictures that were truly reflective of the moments during the day. They also got my images to my extremely fast which I am so thankful for! I would recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much Jane and Mike!

    Jane & Michael Shauck, the husband & wife team of Iris Photography was one of our favorite vendors. They are great people as well as incredibly talented photographers. We HIGHLY recommend them whether you live in Rhode Island or Connecticut or anywhere else. They are worth hiring to travel if need be.

    Their style is very photojournalistic and they have a real knack for capturing your personality as well as your wedding. Our guests have raved about our photos. We all look like we should be in a magazine.

    Jane has won numerous awards for her work and has been working on Time Magazine's Most Influential People for years. I recommend checking out their website at www.photoiris.com especially their blog which will give you a taste of the projects they have done and you can see the write ups they add which speak to them as individuals as well. Our guests felt like they were part of the party and really enjoyed their company as well.

    They are not cheap but don't let that distract you....they are worth every penny....and remember....the food, flowers, music and other aspects of your wedding will fade into memories but your photos are forever...do not skimp on them and if you choose Iris I promise you will not be sorry.

    to see some of our pictures visit our website at www.michaelandkeri.net

    Oh and the cost we listed included 8 hrs with 2 photographers on our wedding day, an engagement session, a proof magazine of every picture taken, and a large photo album (one of the really nice Queensbury ones) with 75 photos and some other stuff. All packages do not run that high and they will work within your budget.
