I was super excited to have Nadean be my photographer for my wedding!! But unfortunately, Our wedding got postponed due to the COVID pandemic, which is out of everyone’s control, and I wished to reschedule with her. However, I was told that they were fully booked for the month of my new date and I had to book 3 months after my date in order to not lose my $300 deposit. They were not forgiving, sympathetic, willing to work with me, make an exception for something that no one would’ve imagined coming to fruition, or give any other solutions. Very disappointing.
We reserved this vendor for my sons wedding in May. The Venue canceled the date and requested we move it to a different date because of the pandemic. These people were not available on the dates the venue had available, therefore we requested my retainer back. They refused! Very unprofessional and in poor taste to a young couple affected by a pandemic. I plan to file a complaint with the BBB and Attorney General. Think wisely before booking them!
Working with Nadean was amazing, she did our engagement photos and wedding photos. The pictures are beautiful and she captured so many beautiful moments. She is amazing.
We are so happy that we chose Gene Ho as our wedding photographer! He is such a blast to work with and his photos are amazing! We had the pleasure of doing an engagement photo shoot with him last June and our pictures came out gorgeous (plus, he's so good that he gets great shots in a short amount of time). He was so flexible with us because we insisted on making it back for our 2nd half of cocktail hour. He was awesome at getting everyone together for the shots we wanted and still deliver on his promise of getting us back to mingle with our guests. We also had the pleasure of communicating with Gene's wife Nadeen throughout our planning process and were so pleased when she showed up at our reception to surprise us. These 2 are truly a class act and top notch photographers that we now consider to be our friends as well. We can't wait to see Gene's beautiful photos of our wedding!!!

I just had my wedding at Myrtle Beach, SC and was blessed to have Nadean as our photographer. My husband and I never take pictures and she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed through our pictures. Her energy was awesome and our guests felt so comfortable there were times they forgot she was there. She captured some of the most precious moments of a magical day and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Nadean, from the first meeting, we knew she was amazing. Nadean is very easy to work with. She has great ideals, she is fun to work with and have amazing photograph grace. She is super cool and a charm that let you live in the moments. Excellent ideals during our engagement session. For our wedding she was on point for the timeline, she utilize her surroundings to make everlasting memories. I can't wait to see our wedding pictures. Nadean, will listen to your needs and give you the best plan. We just love her!
I feel so speechless about how wonderful everything Nadean did for me during my time planning my wedding. She wasn’t just helpful for photos for my bridal shoot and wedding day. She was helpful throughout the months of my wedding planning. I cannot thank Nadean and Gene Ho enough. They made my day bigger than I could have ever imagined. I will forever be grateful for their warm and welcoming personalities and their beautiful work.
Nadean was amazing!! I cannot thank her enough for capturing our beautiful moments to look back on for years to come. Her photographs were breathtaking.
I highly recommend Gene, Nadean, and his entire team to any bride/groom! Gene is an amazing photographer - he took exceptional bridal portraits, and I'm sure our wedding photos will be nothing shy of amazing. His personality helps to ease the stress of the wedding day. His assistant was also great to work with. I'm so happy Gene was available and would highly recommend!
Nadean was the absolute best choice for our wedding photographer! She was always quick to respond during the planning process and made sure to learn our family dynamics before the wedding day. She made sure we stayed on schedule and got all the shots we wanted. Nadean was so much fun to work with and we love all of our wedding photos!
Gene from Gene Ho photography was absolutely amazing! Him and his assistant were a lot of fun and took beautiful pictures. Not only is he a great photographer he is great at interacting and making it feel like you guys have know each other for years. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone's wedding. Great photographer and a great company. Nadean makes the entire process easy! I would do business with them again in a heartbeat!
Nadean from Gene Ho Photography is AMAZING! Not only is she a totally rad person, but her photography skills are unparalleled! Words can't describe how pleased we are with the way our photos came out, she is a true artist that perfectly captures each moment. Thank you Nadean!
There are not enough words to describe how well the photographs of the bridal shoot turned out. There was not one bad shot in the entire batch! Which made decision making a chore. Honestly, he is the most talented photographer we have EVER seen!!! His lovely studio is situated in the heart of Myrtle Beach, not far from our home. However, he has a satellite office near Chateau Elan where my daughter was married. (The wedding pics are not here yet.)
He is a BRILLIANT, kind, generous, personable, and easy to talk to photographer. He immediately put my daughter who was a bit nervous at ease and complimented her on the veil, her make-up, etc. It was a bit of a fairy tale to have the bridal shoot on the location he selected. it was at the ruins of an old castle.... gorgeous background for the wedding dress!
I wish there was a way to put the pics from the shoot on this review. It is impossible to tell you how talented this photographer is without seeing his work. Just go to Chateau Elan wedding FB page and my daughter and son-in-law are the profile pic... there was snow on the ground! it was absolutely beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nadean was the photographer for my wedding. She arrived on time and was flexible since we were running behind on the timeline. She worked quickly, getting the necessary family photos out of the way so we could get back to the party.
I would highly recommend her to any bride in the area.
We had a great experience with gene from the engagement pictures to the wedding day. he called the week before to go over important people in the wedding and close family that we for sure wanted pictures with. I can't wait to see the final product! I've seen one sneak peak and LOVED it!! There are 4 packages to choose from and customizable, highly recommend to anyone.
Nadean and Brittany from Gene Ho Photography were two of the most wonderful people to work with. They both felt like they were old friends and not outsiders looking in. I was extremely nervous before my wedding and at one time they were the only two with me and both calmed my fears and helped me to focus on the fun times ahead. Being a bride there are so many things you miss during your wedding which can be disappointing, but I know that Nadean captured our day perfectly. I cannot wait to see the pictures!
Great to work with. He was very attentive with our needs. Good prices in packages for the pictures.
I got married in Sept 2014, We had two photographers, Parker was the main photographer. She also did my bridal photos! I loved the bridal photos so much that I ordered all of them! :) they so kindly gave me a small discount on them. After getting the bridal photos I knew she would do a great job with the wedding photos and she did, It took longer then I thought to get the photos back, but as a photographer myself and a perfectionist, I knew they just wanted them to be the best they could be before sending them to me. The wait was well worth it!! The photos were fabulous and the pictures captured the feel of our wedding and reception, we are so happy with them! The wedding package we got was affordable and included everything we wanted , I would highly recommend Gene Ho Photography (esp. Parker ! :) )
We worked with Nadean and her assistant for our October wedding and are very pleased with our pictures! They were a dream to work with and Nadean's positive energy and attitude were infectious! Nadean was always very prompt in answering all of our questions and I would highly recommend her for your upcoming event! Definitely one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout our wedding planning process, not to mention that their prices are VERY reasonable :)
We were referred to Nadean by two other couples who had recently used her for their weddings. Both couples had nothing but wonderful things to say about her and the studio! We recently received our wedding photos and they are gorgeous!! She was able to capture every moment and every tiny detail! Nadean is great to work with and is so much fun. We received many compliments after the wedding about how easy she made getting the family and bridal party pictures. The studio has great packages and they work with you to create the package that works best with your budget. Nadean is truly amazing and if you use her you won't be disappointed!!
This review is about Gene Ho himself. He was very professional and delivers what he says he will. He is prompt and works well with his customers.
It has taken me almost a year to write this review and my friends finally urged me to do so. I discovered Gene Ho photography at a bridal show and their work looked gorgeous so I worked with them to create a package and booked. We had our engagement and weddings pictures done by Gene Ho, with an additional photographer at the wedding. When we received our engagement pictures back, there were about 4 really good ones and I was a little nervous but brushed it off. We had taken so many that day but never saw most of them and the couple shots I was really excited to see never surfaced or the coloring/editing was off.
Fast forward to the wedding-we had two photographers to make sure nothing was missed as photos were #1 to me. We met at the church and did some photos before of the bridal party then family, then there was the wedding ceremony, then we took a trolley to the reception with one photog on the trolley to take pics of the fun and one went ahead to shoot the reception/cocktail hour. Our venues were both gorgeous-the reception a historic house with a winding staircase in the front room right in the middle of midtown Atlanta. Everything seemed like a pretty good night, they were shooting photos it seemed, although there were more than a few times we had to look for them or had to lead them to a place we wanted photos-if you're a photographer-you should know the venue and have the creative eye to bring us to where photos should be. We had to convince them to do a few photos outside in the city-and one of the main reasons we chose the venue-the antique staircase-there wasn't a single picture taken on which would have been stunning for us and their portfolio.
It took two months to see any pictures after the wedding-where most photogs these days put up 'sneak peeks' or blogs. When we did, there were some great shots-but so many shots missing that tears were literally running down my face. The biggest day of my life and I had a list of almost 30 moments missing...no pictures from the front of the church-so none of me coming down the aisle or my flower girls or the ring bearer or the ceremony-he did finally find a couple shots from the ceremony but I had to plead for them and then was told that the church would only allow them both to shoot from the balcony so they were blurry? What? That wasn't in my contract with the church and as a photographer, wouldn't you come and say something to me? Those pictures will be missing the rest of our lives. The shoot I asked to do with my bridal party pre-ceremony outside-only 1 group shoot and one of the girls was looking down. The lighting inside the church was dim as most churches are-and every single picture from inside had horrible shadows across faces that I had to ask them to photoshop out. I know they make lenses for low-light? The trolley ride to the reception-the photographer didn't take a single picture while we were en route? Thank goodness my friends had iPhones. And the cocktail hour? Not a single picture of that either. One photo of the dinner/inside set up pre-party and it was almost completely dark/discolored and almost every picture inside was dark and discolored.
It sounds like my experience was one of the few. In the end, it's not about the money, it's about the fact that you'll never get that day back and you're so busy that you depend on photos to capture all those moments. It hurts my heart so much to know that we depended on someone and those moments are lost.
If you don't want to worry about your wedding pictures, and know that they will be beautiful, hire Gene Ho (specifically Nadean B.). She was so great throughout the planning process making sure that all of my needs were met. She was even better on the day of. She was taking pictures and getting everyone set up so quick--it didn't seem like it took any time at all. Her creativeness and imagination truly show in the pictures we have. THANK YOU NADEAN!
Parker from Gene Ho photography was a doll to work with. She is extremely professional and hard working.
I was very impressed with the service I received from Gene Ho Photography. I was also very pleased with the price. The photos came out beautifully and Gene Ho did an amazing job capturing the event and love. I would use him again for any professional photos. Highly Recommend.
I absolutely loved my photographer. We used Nadean Bruehlman and I truly cannot wait to use her again for maternity, newborn, and family sessions. She was the absolute best photographer for our engagement session and wedding. She is so relaxed and you barely notice she is there during your special day but captures all the photos you could ever want. She eased my fears about the rain on my wedding day and still captured every photo I wanted. On top of that, they mail you prints along with the dvd and album and it's instant satisfaction instead of having to upload the dvd and go print off photos. I seriously cannot say enough about her and the company and they were so easy to work with. They travel all over and it was so easy to set up meetings and payments.
I found this company at a bridal show and Kasey was the most pleasant person to talk to. Most of the other photographers were stuffy and didn't seem interested to talk to me. Once I decided to go with Gene Ho Photography, I told them when my wedding was and they let me know which photographers were available. Their website was easy to use and all of the photographers have their portfolios on the site, so it was easy to figure out who I wanted to shoot the wedding. All of their packages can be customized, which was great for me! I hadn't planned on engagement pictures so I was able to swap that feature out with something else. Nadean and Kasey were my photographers. They were so much fun! They called about a week before the wedding and got a feel for what types of pictures I was looking for. I have about a month left before I get to see the pictures but I do not have a doubt in my mind that they will be perfect.
Nadean was our photographer, she was on time and made the photography aspect of the wedding so easy!
Heather and Parker did the photographs at my wedding. they were both adorable and professional about everything. All the guests were comfortable and they knew eactly what they were doing, thus making the wedding run smoothly and efficiently. They did exactly what I wanted and I couldnt have asked for anything better!
I used Gene Ho Photography for my wedding after my best friend and her sister highly recommended them! Boy, were they right! My personal photographer was Nadean Bruehlman and she is such an awesome person! She was extremely professional and did wonderful work and was so easy to work with! She will customize any package you want and was by far the most affordable I could find for the services she offered! She is super sweet and easy to get along with, very professional and knows what she is doing! One thing I really loved about working with her is how reliable she is. If you're going to meet her at 3:00 she will get there early to scope out the scene and be the best photographer possible. So nice to be able to have people you can rely on these days and she is one of them!I got to work with several people through this company, her sister in law, Kasey and her brother, Kyle who did my videography. All were wonderful and I would highly recommend them to anyone and I have been doing just that to several of my newly engaged friends! If you don't believe me, go check out their portfolios and see how unbelievably talented they all are! :)
I had Nadean as my photographer, and she is amazing! She is easy to talk to and work with, in all aspects! She is also lots of fun! The only tricky thing was the time line of the day, that way she could be there for all of the big stuff, but it worked out fine!
Casey also worked with her and she was great as well! Those two def. worked well together and with us!! I look forward to using them again for any pictures!
Gene and his teammate Patterson were so wonderful and fun to work with and they captured so many great moments at our wedding! We got an online photo gallery for our family to view and purchase the photos they wanted and also bought the rights to our pictures. Gene Ho and his team are amazing and they will definitely be the photographers we will choose again for all of our life milestones!! Nicest, sweetest people and best photography in the area!!
Kevin at Gene Ho was wonderful! He listened to our ideas and incorporated them with his own. Very easygoing and was everywhere at the reception. Can't wait to see our pictures!
Love Gene Ho! Nadean took my engagement photos and photographed the wedding. She is awesome to work with and her work is the BEST!
Nadean is amazingly wonderful! So laid back and go with the flow type of person. Not to mention her pictures are flawless!
absolutely amazing made everything run smoothly and they knew exactly what pictures i wanted and were very easy to work with
I wish I could say I was 100% satisfied, Gene Ho work is amazing and they have done a great job at fixing my pictures but would not recommended using Heather Moore to anyone you will be let down. So many pictures from the night are missing. The company has done an excellent job at making what they could better. Would recommend the company just not my lead photographer.
Kevin Teachy of Geno Ho photography was great, thank you so much for everything. I know it's what you do for a living but you did a wonderful job. You made it very easy for us to really, really enjoy every minute of the day. It was stress-free because of all the work that you did. You did such a great job and I appreciate it so much and thank you for everything.
We met Nadean (photographer at Gene Ho) at the recommendation of our wedding planner, and I cannot recommend her (and the company) highly enough. Now I will just comment on Nadean. She was absolutely wonderful, professional, and knew exactly what to say! I felt so comfortable having my photos taken, and it felt like we were old friends. I'll definitely be looking her up whenever a little baby comes our way. You will not be disappointed with her or Gene Ho Photography.
Gene Ho was fun and captured images I never would have even thought of. Our engagement shots came out great. We are still waiting on our wedding pictures, but received and sneak peak and are beyond excited to see the rest! Gene responded promptly to emails and was always willing to share his advise and knowledge.
I think it was great we were able to pick a package then customize it, and get a great deal as well as rights to all the pictures. Love Nadean and Gene HO! Thay make you feel so comfortable and take amazing photos!
Jeremy Smith from gene ho photography is amazing! He not only did my sisters and my wedding but he made a special exception and took photos of my grandmother and I before she passed away. The photos are absolutely amazing and I highly reccomend him!
I was very impressed with the package I purchased for our wedding. I loved the photographer and am anxious to get my pictures back!
Gene Ho was absolutely incredible for our wedding day! We haven't gotten our pictures back yet, but he was so wonderful and made myself and the whole wedding party feel completely comfortable. Gene and his assistant were extremely organized and thorough throughout the whole day. Not only is he super creative but very affordable as well!!
From the moment my Dad found out I was engaged he decided that we were going to use Gene Ho Photography our wedding. I'm a bit controlling, so it was hard allow him to make this decision for us. I must say my dad did an excellent job selecting our photographer and I couldn't have done any better myself. Gene has a very calming personality, which is very helpful because planning a wedding can be stressful. The photojournalism he displayed in our engagement photos and our guest book has only hightended our anticipation for the final package. The day of our wedding Gene Ho and Heather Moore were sure to capture every single moment of our day and our guest barely noticed they were there. My husband and I are so excited and we can't wait to see our pictures.
Nadean is the best! She is easy going, innovative and a great support on such an exciting but stressful day. You barely know she is there which makes the pictures so special/ realistic and not posed. I've only seen the sneak peak and I cannot wait to see the rest!
Wonderful to work with. I would definately use them again!
Our photograper was wonderful and her service was great but it takes to long to get the pictures back! W dd out engagement, my bridal, and wedding photos through Gene Ho and all the enegagment and bridal pictures took alomost two months to have them returned and the wedding ones 3 months! The pictures amazing but I felt it took to long to have them back to us
Finding a wedding photographer was one of the most bothersome parts of my wedding... especially since I was on a budget. I found Gene Ho at a Bridal show in Gwinnett, and was I glad. Melanie Snare, their local booker answered all of my questions and was very patient. They're packages are very reasonable, and flexible as well. They were running a special on an album upgrade, but rights to my photos were more important, so they swapped out the upgrade for a disk of ALL my wedding photos instead. :) The standard album by the way is not thing to laugh at... it's beautiful and I can't wait to get mine back. She also informed me that I can buy add on's later, and the process is very easy.
Since Gene Ho employs several lead photo he is able to keep his prices low, and match you with a photographer that suits your personal style. Erin McCoy is a GEM. She did our engagement shoot (which was included in our package http://geneho.com/jaminacoleengagement) and was a joy at the wedding. Her assistant was extremely professional, and they made everyone feel at ease, even when we were taking pictures outside in 97 degree heat.
Communication and follow up were top notch. I feel like I made new friends working with all the ladies, and Gene even checked in with me once or twice. If you're in the southeast region, USE GENE HO. They are fabulous.
Okay, well I haven't recieved all my photos back yet, as it's barely been 10 days since the actual wedding, but at 3:00am after the wedding(the reception lasted until midnight), Gene sent me a "sneak preview" of one of our photos and it was absolutely breath taking! I can't even describe how beautiful the shot was, and everyone who's seen it has been raving about how it looks like it was taken straight from a magazine. I can't wait to see the rest! Working with Gene and his assistant was an absolute dream as they were so easy-going and positive. We asked for some unique shots (like one of me and my cat) and went to multiple locations and they were both super sweet throughout. Also, Gene was so encouraging that I didn't feel shy at all while he was photographing us! The other thing is, he doesn't waste time! We had a lot of group family photos to get through and he kept things moving so I really feel like I got my money's worth!!!! Highly recommended!!
I chose the photographer Heather because I had not heard back from the original photographer that I wanted and she seemed helpful and persistent. She took great pictures but she was bossy and not accommodating when we were first taking pictures. I wanted candid and fun and she was lining us up in a straight line and had no "fun" ideas. She eventually got what I was talking about but I was the bride therefore I am paying her for her service, not for her opinion on what type of pictures we wanted. She ended up doing what we wanted but on my wedding day I dont need to be arguing with the photographer.
Have not received formal pictures yet as wedding was only 2.5 weeks ago, but working with Erin McCoy of Gene Ho Photography was terrific. She is super sweet and professional, and I can't wait to see how everything turned out.
Heather from Gene Ho was my photographer and she was great! She was so nice and low key which is what you want on your wedding day. She didn't force us to do a lot of pictures we didn't want to do, she did a great job of capturing the event without being pushy! I haven't seen the pictures yet, but the sneak peek she sent was amazing so I cannot wait!
I used Andy and Gene during my wedding, both photographers were excellant and my pictures turned out just how I imagined. I would suggest them to anyone looking in the myrtle beach area
When researching photographers we were looking for ones that would fit our budget. We found Gene Ho Photography at a bridal expo and they were the only ones that we really liked. The photographer worked with us and we were able to get the package that we wanted.
I loved my photographer, Scott. he was great and I am super happy with all of my photos. But I just feel like we were in such a beautiful place and there were so many more pictures that could have been taken that he missed some opportunities. Of course I had other things on my mind at the time so hind sight is 20/20 and like I said the pictures we do have are phenomenal but maybe make sure you walk through everyhing before hand more clearly to make sure you reach the full potenial of your venues.
All I can say is WOW! Nadean at Gene Ho Photography captures the most amazing memories. She uses a great combination of posed and natural shots. She really has a great eye and will not leave you disappointed. She was always readily available to answer any questions.
