Fantastic to Work With!

When Scott and I started planning our wedding, we agreed that the most important decision we could make would be the photographer as the pictures would last a lifetime. Teri was fantastic to work with. Her professionalism and enthusiasm was invigorating and truly appreciated. She made the whole experience fun and easy for everyone. She captured the joy and happiness of the day in each picture. Additionally, the creative touches she adds to the pictures further enhances the captured moment. Every time we look at our pictures we smile and laugh. Thank you so much for the fantastic pictures!!

You are the Greatest!

Teri,
I just want to start off by saying, you are the greatest! I have to admit I had my reservations about a destination wedding but you from the start made me completely comfortable. Our wedding day was perfect. You went way above and beyond the call of duty; From scouting out the best picture locations on the Island to finding our florist, our officiant (Suzanne) and our ceremony location. I have walked away from Kawaii with the best memories and I know you have captured them with your creative style. I also had no idea when I asked you to photograph our wedding that we would find a forever friend. Don't worry you will be seeing alot more of our family in the future. Thanks again for everything. We love you.

Josh and Corrie

Aloha to all of the Flashes Fans out there! Greetings from Kaui! We are having a great time. If I had to rate Kaui on a scale of 1-10, it would be a 12!!!!!!! It's truly beautiful here! I've found the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, and tomorrow we will be ziplining though the Hawaiian forest! Stay tuned for pictures next week!!!

Absolutely Amazing Work!!!

Working in the wedding industry I’ve seen Flashes Photography pictures before. But, when I met the woman behind the camera is when I knew that’s who I wanted to shoot my wedding. You just know when you meet someone that you click with. I met Teri on a photo shoot and immediately wanted to get in front of the camera for her. She does absolutely amazing work. From the moment she stepped into my hotel room the morning of my wedding, I felt like a princess. The way she pampered me, my husband, and our families, made us feel like she was meant to be there. Her attention to detail is fabulous. Whether it was powdering my nose when it was shiny or doing everything in her power to get that one special shot I wanted. She knew exactly what kind of pictures I wanted and she delivered! Brae and I are so ecstatic about our wedding photos and movies, we can’t wait to work with her again soon.

Angela and Brae

You Were Wonderful!!!!

Teri thanks so much for the e-movie it was absolutely amazing! I forwarded it on to my friends and family and they all can't wait to see more pictures! Thanks for working so hard to get my pictures back so quickly! You were wonderful at my wedding, I recieved so many compliments on what a wonderful job you did! I can't wait to see the rest of my pictures!
Merry Christmas and God Bless,
Lindsey and Andrew Calovich

There is No One LIke You!

You are outstanding!!! There is no comparison---We looked at 6 other photographers and there is just no one like you! We can't wait for you to photograph our daughters wedding!

Jim Rave!!!

We just wanted to tell you what a wonderful job Jim did at our wedding. He was so fun and easy to work with. He arrived ahead of shedule to check everything out and get set up. He kept us laughing all day and made sure things were always running smoothly. His style and personality made our photos absolutely wonderful. We have such a great treasure to commemorate our most special day!

The Knot Magazine has chosen to feature Christie and Scott in their 2007 Fall/Winter Issue!!

If there was one thing that was more beautiful than our wedding itself, it was definitely the photography! When we came to Flashes for our post wedding meeting, we were absolutely blown away by how alive the pictures were. Teri's work is phenominal. From the moment we first met Teri we felt as if we had known her for years. She is so personal and easy-going. Each photo she took had her own unique style to it. The compliments on our wedding pictures are never-ending.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our wedding day so spectacular and our memories so alive. We will always come to Flashes for our family pictures and hopefully one day our own children. We appreciate everything you have done for us and for being amazing at what you do."

We had so much fun!

As you can tell by the Maui pictures, Teri is an awesome photographer. We had so much fun with her and our pictures are absolutely gorgeous!! Our reception was Saturday night and everyone just loved the pictures. We have had so many calls wanting to know how our families can order prints. Both of my parents cried when they saw the slideshow and they said that Teri was well worth the money. Pictures are the only way I have to remember that special day and thanks to Teri, my memories are beautiful. Thanks again!!!

Josh and Lari Smith

I'm back from Maui!!!

Hello everybody...I am just now getting around to posting the Maui Photos and what fun Lari and Josh were! It was a beautiful day with a cool breeze while everybody back here in KC was sweating non-stop (so sorry) :( I Love...Love...their pictures!!!! And here are just a few of my favorites. The reception was Saturday here in KC and they got tons of compliments on the slideshow I put together of them... they look so adorable!!

























It was really this beautiful...














So happy together!!














So Sweet!














This was funny! Lari did not want to get her dress wet and Josh picked her up just in nick of time.

You Captured The Day!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for making our day so perfect. Before our wedding, everyone was constantly telling us to "cherish the day because it will go by quickly!" We thought for sure they were wrong and our wedding would be a lasting memory. Little did we know that June 24th,2006 (our wedding day) ended before we hardly knew it had begun. I now realize that wedding days are definately chaotic and a whirlwind of emotions that pass by in a snap. Looking back the day after our wedding Brett and I could hardly remember any of the details of it. However once we received our pictures from you, it was almost as though we got to RELIVE our day bit by bit! Not only are your pictures the most beautiful and creative I've EVER seen, but they capture the smiles AND THE LITTLE MOMENTS (laughing, crying, jumping, acting completely goofy!) unlike any other photographs I've seen! Thanks to you we will now have a lifetime to look back on with our photographs and be able to relive the little moments that you captured so well! Thank you so much for your amazing work! We absolutely couldn't be happier with our photos!!!! Thanks again so much and take care!
HUGS,
Brett and Jill Parsons

We had a blast!

I just wanted to drop
you a note and let you know how great you made our wedding day. I remember
stressing out about who to pick to shoot our wedding, the photographer was a
huge thing for me. When I met with you for the first time, I knew you were
the one I wanted to book. Your energy is amazing and it shows in your work.
On our actual wedding day you made everyone feel comfortable and we all had
a blast with you. You made me feel like the most beautiful bride and made me
feel at ease from getting ready all the way through the reception. There
wasn't a single thing you missed! I have received so many compliments on our
photos and album and hope that you have continued success, you truly deserve
it. Thanks again Teri. Jennifer, you were great as well, thanks for your
help.

You Have Truly Blessed Our Life!

From the first time we met Terri, there was no doubt she was going to be our
photographer. Just sitting in her studio surrounded by these gorgeous
portraits, you can picture yourself in all of them. Not to mention her
upbeat personality and eagerness to work with us. We were so excited to see
how Terri would capture our day. After seeing our wedding pictures, we found
out that Terri just doesn't capture the day, she captures the couple. The
gift she gives you, are pictures that embrace your whole life. Every
relationship that shares in your special day, she acquires. Moments that you
have no time to ever notice, she sees. Her style is so amazing. She
generates excitement in every photo causing the photos to be so unique.
Everyone loved her enthusiasm which made the pictures fun for the whole
wedding party. We can't even explain in full the magnificent experience we
had with Flashes. After the whole experience Terri wasn't just our
photography, she truly has blessed our life.

Anna and Randy Hughes

Thank you! Thank you!

-Mandee and Jason

Jason and I couldn't be more thrilled with our pictures. I'm not sure we have the right words to express our gratitude. Jason and I truly feel that our pictures are the most special we've ever seen...they are so creative, unique, and beautiful. You captures so many small, tender moments that I wasn't witness to on the wedding day with everything going on, but when I saw my pictures, I felt as though I never missed a moment of a single thing that happened to anyone on my day. When Jason and I looked at all the pictures, we went slow...kind of like a faulous book that you never want to end because you want to savor each moment of it. I feel it was one of my greatest blessings to have found you because each moment of my wedding that holds a special place in my memories has somehow been magically captured in the pictures you took. The level of care, enthusiasm, respect, and kindness you showed my entire family and wedding party leading up to the wedding day, during the day and afterward far surpassed any other wedding vendor I worked with. When I encountered stress on my wedding day, you were the one rallying my friends to be supportive. Not only did you care about the pictures I wanted to take, but you took time to help me plan every detail of my day so that it was exactly what I had hoped for. My dad took a picture of you laying on a dirty street upside down to take a picture. He has mentioned several times that he can't belive that you have that degree of devotion. I keep telling him I can...not only have you provided us priceless wedding pictures, but the friendship we now share means as much to me. I look forward to filling my house with a lifetime of artwork, pictures done by Flashes...Teri, we love you! Thanks for everything!

Mandee and Jason

Thank you for Everything!

Just wanted to give a big bog hug and thank you to Teri and Jennifer with Flashes Photography! You are both such great people to work with and I absolutely love my pictures!!!!!!! They look like they came straight out of a magazine! Everyone comments about how great you were (Teri) and how much fun we had taking pictures all over KC! Thanks for being so great!!

Sherry from New York!

Teri,

Had to drop you a line to let you know how incredible our photos turned out. Greg and I both wanted something a little different from the "traditional" wedding photos that most of our friends had taken at their weddings. After living in New York for the last 5 years, I knew that I wanted a more modern, contemporary look (Black and white, photojournalistic, etc) for my wedding and your photos look even better than some I have seen from photographers straight out of NYC! The funny thing is, some of the people who have seen the pictures assumed that you were a New York photographer and that we had flown you in for the wedding! I have enjoyed telling everyone that you are actually from KC! Thanks again for making our wedding so special. We will cherish the pictures and how you were able to capture our special day for the rest of our lives!
