    My husband and I had a great experience with Simply Radiant Weddings. We worked closely with Riley, who was extremely helpful and kind. She did an amazing job photographing us while making it fun and feel natural. She was easy to communicate with, and responded quickly to any questions I had. They were very respectful the day of the wedding and captured every moment that made our day special. They did such a wonderful job photographing our big day, providing us with pictures we will cherish forever. I am so happy we chose to use Simply Radiant Weddings!

    Simply Radiant Weddings did a great job capturing photos of all the special moments from our wedding day! We mainly worked with Veronica, but we also had Darian as our second photographer. Veronica got our photos to us very quickly after the wedding. Within the week after our wedding, we started to see sneak peek photos and within about 3.5 weeks we had received our full gallery! Veronica was extremely accommodating with doing additional edits, per my request. We had so many photos we loved whether they were formal photos or candid ones throughout the wedding and reception. We truly enjoyed working with Veronica and Darian!

    Veronica was super easy to work with and so sweet. She meet up with me as many times as needed to go over what I wanted and needed. She was willing to travel to me for engagement pictures and worked well with including my kids in on our session. Very accommodating on the day of the wedding and worked to capture all our special moments. Rates were very affordable and the little extras included in our package were a great way to preserve our memories!! Totally recommend Simply Radiant Wedding!

    I booked Veronica and Riley for my summer 2015 wedding, and absolutely loved working with them. They did a beautiful job of capturing our wedding day-the candids, in particular, are some of my favorite pictures of some of my very favorite people. I keep finding myself going back through the pictures a year and a half later-I love them! They were also very reasonable and fun to work with, and very easy to get in touch with. I recommend them very highly!

    Riley and Haley were seriously amazing, I am forever thankful for them working with me on prices so I didn't have to go over my budget! And the pictures are so beautiful I couldn't imagine them being any better!

    Veronica and Darian did such a great job with the photos. Veronica was responsive and easy to communicate with. She did a great job on our engagement photos, and the wedding photos were amazing! They got us a few preview photos before the whole gallery was finished, and the total time it took to get the wedding photos back was well within what was agreed upon in the contract. Veronica and Darian came up with some really fun ideas for photos. I would absolutely recommend Simply Radiant Weddings.

    Riley was very professional and she had great ideas for some awesome pictures. She took photos of my son for his first birthday. The photos turned out fantastic and it was a lot of fun.

    Riley at Little Miss Mae Photography has taken photos of our daughter as a newborn, then again for her 1st birthday as well as some family photos. From each of the sessions, Riley produced dozens of absolutely AMAZING photos that captured such special times in our lives. Her editing is contemporary and produces unforgettable images that all our family and friends love! Riley is very easy going and nice to work with. I can't wait until she has a great studio location, she deserves it; but she definately makes due with what she has! Don't hesitate to choose Riley to take your family photos! I can't wait for Riley to take our maternity photos and baby milestone sessions with our new one on the way! Thanks, Little Miss Mae!

    You are great at what you do, don't be afraid to take charge, speak up and go with what your vision sees and tell everyone what and where to stand and position themselves so they can be in touch with you vision! Sometimes I felt like for a larger group you were a bit soft spoken to wrangle everyone up for your ideas. Don't be afraid to speak out and move people where they need to go to get the best shots!

    Right before engagement shoot our communication got alot better, so thank you for working on that aspect of things with an anxious bride! Overall you guys were fabulous and gave us alot of great photos to cherish forever and for that we are forever grateful!

    I waited a long time to write this review because thinking about my wedding pictures is incredibly depressing. Things started to go wrong with our engagement pictures when Riley's scheduling didn't work out on the first attempt and then we had a terrible time getting her to respond to our emails and phone calls to reschedule; even when she said she'd email the next day, she often didn't. The engagement pictures turned out ok though, so I ignored my gut feeling to switch photographers for our wedding.

    The lead up to our wedding went alright and Riley and I communicated about times and the shot list. We had a pretty reasonable shot list, about "must have" 25 photos which were standard shots of the wedding and family. We didn't get 4 of them and two are terrible photos. We also didn't get any of the groomsmen and bridesmaids walking down the aisle. When I asked about that, Riley said our aisle was too short... It wasn't super short, maybe 20-30 feet. We also only got black and white photos for many of the shots and Riley refused to give us the color version. A handful of the pictures we got are also very washed out. You can see this for yourself if you go to her portfolio on SmugMug.

    Riley was very hard to work with after our wedding too. She was a bit late (according to the contract) getting us our photos which we could've overlooked if she'd have let us know and then the pictures where nowhere near in chronological order when we got them (which was also in the contract). When it came time to order our canvas print, I asked her for directions. She was very snarky saying she already emailed us the directions (I searched my email - she didn't). We did eventually get our canvas print though and it does look good.

    If I was getting married again, there is no way I'd ever hire Simply Radiant again. This is the only vendor for our wedding that I'd give a negative review to and I'm glad other people have had a better experience than we did.
