READ BEFORE YOU BOOK!! Especially those considering Gregory's Living Social deal. I called him BEFORE buying the Living Social deal, to see what extra prints would cost us, as well as to see what he charges for going over the 25 mile radius he has for non-studio shoots. We are located in Shakopee, a total of 36 miles away from his offices, btw. Before he answered my question about the distance he asked what kind of package I was interested in getting. I said I'd need to look at the packages, but something very basic, probably whatever he was offering in his Living Social deal. He told me that unless I was willing to upgrade my package, and "make it worth his time" he would not shoot us off site, even within the 25 miles, that we'd have to come into the studio. I told him it said in the LS deal that he would travel up to 25 miles, and he said that it wasn't worth it if I wasn't going to at least buy some more prints. So I asked what the print packages cost, and he said "Well how much are you looking to spend?" and I told him around $100 in addition to the cost of the LS Deal. He said "Nevermind, this offer is not for you" and said that it wasn't a good deal for me.

My point is this - CALL Gregory to get the fine print, and see about prints, travel costs, packages, etc., before you buy your Living Social deal. This could be a huge rip-off if you don't.

For those of you looking for a photographer in the Twin Cities area, I would highly recommend the photographer we have booked for our wedding, Gregory from Accent Photography. He has been such a pleasure to work with so far! His work is AWESOME! We've had our engagement session so far and have been thrilled. I have never heard so many amazing compliments on the pictures that Gregory took! It feels so nice to have so many friends and family members say how AMAZING our engagement pictures are!! Our wedding is in December and we cannot wait to have Gregory capture the moments that we will cherish for a lifetime!!! Thank you so very much, your work is TOP NOTCH!

Here is a little advice. When you reserve any photography services and before signing any kind of agreement/contract make sure that you understand the terms of the contract.Who is performing services, what is a return and cancellation policies, etc. Most studios have more then one photographer and you would like to see the work of a photographer assigned to photograph your event.

READ BEFORE YOU SIGN ANYTHING!!! I was excited that GREGORY was available to do our wedding when HE told me that HE was available. I went to meet with HIM where HE showed me all of HIS work, which I liked. HE took our engagement photographs, which I love! But then when we met with him 1 week prior to the wedding he started telling me about his “affiliate” that would be at our wedding. Gregory was not at our wedding at all?!?!?! I paid GREGORY prices and got an “affiliate” which was beyond terrible!!! THERE WAS NO MENTION OF AN AFFILIATE EVER BEFORE UNTILL 1 WEEK BEFORE THE WEDDING DAY!!! I still look back at our wedding day pictures and want to cry, they are beyond awful! He completely scammed us, and knows it! The “affiliate” spent so much time fiddling around with his camera while taking our family pictures that no one’s smiles are sincere because we waited at least 20 minutes standing waiting around for him to the settings right. He had ZERO creative ability, and bumbled around like an idiot constantly messing with the camera while we all waited constantly. Our personalities were never captured, because we had very little time to actually take pictures due to him CONSTANTLY MESSING WITH HIS CAMERA! It was like it was his fist day with the d*** thing! The best pictures from our wedding day came from our guests with non-professional grade cameras. Every wedding I go to, I see all these great photographers, and then see amazing pictures and want to cry. PLEASE BUYER BEWARE!

Senior Pictures, Minneapolis. Seven years ago I received many flyers for grad pictures for my senior. Being my first to graduate I was new to this so I chose one and it was Accent Photography. Gregory did a great job with my first child with making him feel comfortable and in his element with his guitar as a prop. There were so many great poses to choose from we did a portfolio to get the most pictures to display. The session went so well I just had my third child's graduation pictures taken and he made the session fun and relaxing both in his studio and at a nearby park. We also did a family session at Christmas time and he had the whole family relaxed and laughing and having fun during the session. Lots of terrific pictures too.

Modeling Photographs, Minneapolis. Gregory at Accent Photo's did a wonderful job. My two girls were not very happy to be spending the day off from school, going to have their pictures taken to indulge their mother. From the first step into Gregory's studio, my girls were suddenly excited to be there. It was just a magical place and Gregory had so many ideas and prop accessories to capture the perfect picture; he truly is a master photographer. Gregory really knows how to get the kids to have fun and enjoy their picture being taken, which in turn, captures their true spirit. And as he reminded me, take pictures now before they grow up, and he’s right. I will recommend Accent Photography to everyone I know. The pictures are incredible and the experience is one I will not forget. Thank you so much for everything. The pictures are so great; I can’t stop looking at them.

Family Portraits by Accent Photography. This was our first time having a family photo session and Gregory made it painless! I decided that he certainly had his work cut out for him with my boys. After a quick 1 hour session, we were absolutely amazed with how many spectacular photos we had! Gregory was able to really capture our personality, and made suggestions that really worked for us. We are extremely pleased with our family portraits and would recommend Gregory and Accent Photography to everyone. He is a true professional and will produce exceptional work every time.

Engagement Photographs. I had made an appt with Gregory after meeting him at the Wedding Fair. I was impressed! We just saw our engagement pictures today and we could not be happier! Gregory is so great to work with,he made us feel very relaxed and made it a fun experience. We had originally set plans to do pictures with the snow at a park. Of course the weather in Mn is unpredictable so we had no snow. I didn't want to do them at the park with no snow,so I asked Gregory if we could find some Rail Road tracks.He had no issue with switching things up. We got some great shots in his beautiful studio,and then some Beautiful pictures on the tracks. I'm excited that he is our photographer for our wedding. I know the pictures will be Amazing!! I would highly recommend Gregory!

Modeling Photographs, Minneapolis. We signed up for a social coupon for a child modeling session. We were just expecting to get a few, fun photos for Christmas gifts. However, Gregory blew us away with his suberb studio and excellent photography skills! What a great experience! He made my 8 year old daughter feel like and look like a model. She had a great time! We both did! Gregory was patient (we had never done anything like this before) and he really took the time and care to take a great portfolio of wonderful pictures. He really captured the essense of her. He is postive and genuine person to work with who is obviously successful and experienced. Thank you Gregory for a wonderful collection of pictures we will treasure forever!

Great family Portraits! in Minneapolis. Gregory was so good with my 4 month old daughter. He captured amazing shots! There were lots of poses and changes and he did everything we wanted and more.

Then we got things ordered and delivered in a week - wow that's quick. We got great Christmas cards, a photo montage for the wall, and a ton of 8x10 photos for our families.

The prices were much more reasonable than other photographers but I still spend more than I wanted. But that was because the photos were just that good.

He also threw in photo calendars and a DVD for free - nice touch!
