Reviews of Applehead Studio Photography (Event Planner)

Wolf Craft

Liam + his crew are the best at what they do. Incredibly talented, professional and super fun!

Shay Heans

When we decided to get married in a hot air balloon, our wedding planner gave us a choice of photographers, but I knew Applehead's reputation well enough that it wasn't even a question. Liam, Steph, Ash & Rich made our wedding so much more magical that I ever would have dreamed. We are not typically comfortable in front of a camera. Good news for us, that didn't seem to matter! We probably spent a total of 5 minutes "posing" for photos - everything else was candid and perfectly captured the joy of the day. Our photos are a perfect mix of solo shots (we eloped) with enough pictures of the rest of the gang that we'll remember every detail of that day! Getting our photos back (quickly!) was like a trip down memory lane. They captured the tiniest details that we didn't even remember from the day. Our wedding video is so dreamy and the perfect way to show our families and friends who weren't in attendance what the day was really like. They're incredibly flexible. They had no problem being on call for a 3pm go/no-go decision, and then seemed happy to chase our balloon all over the Valley as we floated along! Plus, when you consider that they were our only wedding guests, we can't think of anyone more fun to spend an evening with! These people are the definition of badass.

Any future customers to Applehead photography: please read!!! As many of you all know, 2021 hasn’t started out the way any of us have planned and the pandemic is continuing on with very little to no hope on when restrictions on gatherings and events will be loosened. As all of you Nova Scotians know, they have introduced a mandatory 14 day isolation for any out of province visitors. Myself and my fiancé had planned our dream Nova Scotia wedding back in the early months of 2019 when no one had even an idea of a pandemic. I was disappointed when I learned in 2020 that this would not be happened that summer. We are from Ontario and the mandatory quarantine is not possible. As such we moved our dates to the following summer with a hopeful attitude that 2021 would be better. Applehead accommodated the request and we rebooked with them. In early January we looked at the world and realized once again that our dream wedding would not be happening. Being a front line worker with multiple friends who are also front line workers we are unable to isolate for 14 days upon arriving to Nova Scotia. With all this information we regretfully cancelled our wedding all together (8.5 months in advance) and are waiting for the world to get back to some sense of normalcy. Dealing with almost each of our vendors was amazing and they were understanding of our out of the normal need to cancel: except Applehead. Despite having already paid 500$ for a deposit, Applehead insisted we pay 50% of our cost for photography as per contract. I was shocked and upset obviously, however Liam refused to be accommodating, compassionate or understanding of a very special circumstance. I went to the better business Bureau and filed a complaint which he refused to respond to on the site and emailed me personally to say he wants 50% and not just the deposit. Altogether myself and my fiancé paid Liam 2100$ for him corresponding through email, not a single picture taken and I had booked and cancelled their photographers rooms. I suppose I am also partially to blame in all this because I excitedly signed a contract not ever imagining a pandemic and a mandatory isolation would cause me to cancel my wedding. As for Liam, after responding that I would be writing a review accordingly he said he would be responding accordingly based on email communication between us with total transparency. So for total transparency Liam: you were professional through email, however your total lack of compassion and understanding is what I want potential customers to be aware of. If I would have read just one review like this before signing my contract I would have went with one of the many other top rated photographers in Nova Scotia.

Glad to hear you take public health seriously. Well done!

Jason Merry

I had the BEST experience at Applehead Studio! My friend and I went to get our grad photos done here and it was such a fun and positive experience. Liam is a fantastic photographer and completely captured the laughter and joy of the moment. The photos were so beautiful (we're obsessed with them)! Applehead was also extremely quick getting our photos to us to make our final selection. Their turnover rate after the final selection was made was also incredibly fast! Overall, an amazing business that has such a fun and welcoming atmosphere – I would recommend this studio to everyone!

I first met Liam 7 years ago at a fashion shoot; since then I have been a HUGE fan of his work. When my husband and I got engaged I knew I wanted Liam and Steph to shoot our wedding. We booked them before we even had a venue; we planned our day around their availability. Applehead was our first decision, and by far the best decision we had made in planning for our big day. We went in knowing the superiority and distinctiveness of the images they produce -just check it out it speaks for itself- but were pleasantly surprised at the value they brought to our day. Liam and Steph were not simply photographers; they brought CALM to a morning that was full of stress and anxiety, they were babysitters, wardrobe assistants, and mechanics. They made an exceptional amount of effort to ensure that everything ran smoothly from the minute they arrived to the time they left. Liam and Steph are professional, they go above and beyond, but most importantly -I cannot stress this enough- how laid-back and FUN they are and how important that was for me the day of our wedding. Having them photograph our wedding was truly a one of a kind experience!

Asheley Elkin

We got married on Oct 6 of this year and had so many issues leading up to our big day. We were planning a wedding for NB from Calgary AB and it didn’t prove to be easy. With vendors cancelling and plans not lining up how we’d hoped. It was a little stressful and not how we had hoped planning our big day would go. Steph&Liam were the first thing we booked after getting engaged and anything going wrong with that was our biggest fear. If only we knew we had NOTHING to worry about. They were flawless. They were responsive, professional, and even helped with DJ recommendations. We laughed every time we heard from them and they made us feel totally at ease. On the day of the wedding they totally blended in, they introduced themselves to everyone they met, they had us in a deep belly laughter every other moment and truly perfected our day. We honestly can’t imagine not having had them there. They helped to calm us down, show us the ropes and capture every single moment we didn’t want to forget. They felt like family at the end of the night and we were sad to have to say goodbye. I can’t wait to see the rest of our photos and can’t say enough good things about our experience with Applehead. Liam & Steph - let’s do it again?????

Nicole Slaunwhite

Great photographer. Very unique and cool and also professional.

Ashley Praill

Liam and Steph spent a week with us for our wedding down south. It was an incredible trip with our closest friends and family. Liam and Steph were everywhere and captured not just the moments but the atmosphere of the trip. They just became part of the party and captured everything from the big moments to small interactions. Going through the pictures a year later with a group of friends who were on the trip, we spent a good few hours just laughing an reliving the trip. The pictures are incredible, they are both so easy to work with. You can give them direction if you want specific shots but, honestly they are so damn good at this you are better to just let them do their thing and they will come back with images and perspectives that will leave you floored. I recommend them every chance I get.

Mark Haverstock

Liam and Steph from Applehead shot my wedding back in 2015. They were amazing ! They were with us all day, shot beautiful photos both posed and in the moment, photos of family and friends. They also scouted out gorgeous spots along the way for us to do our photos. They were professional and always responsive with communication. They shoot our family photos every year, So we get to catch up with Liam, he is amazing, and so wonderful with my kids and patient. He has done amazing getting my kids engaged and comfortable with him. I also worked with Ashley before my wedding, for my boudoir photos. She was so wonderful to make me feel comfortable and confident ! I would highly recommend any member of the Applehead team for all of your photography needs!

Evan Marshall

THE BEST!!! Liam and Steph did our wedding and now we take our children to them twice a year for school and Xmas photos. They are exceptionally talented and genuinely lovely people. 10 stars!!!!

David Gallant

Liam and Steph shot our Wedding this past summer on the South Shore, They were amazing! They went above and beyond my (very high) expectations; from Liam sitting down in the water (fully dressed) to get the perfect lighting for a beach shot to offering to free up their schedule to finish our wedding story the following day. They were just the best. And, to top it all off, they were really fun to spend the day with. I have wedding pictures that are dramatic, creative and timeless; but they also captured those beautiful quiet moments that could so easily be missed. I just couldn't be happier.

Danielle Campbell

Took a deposit of $500 and now canceled because the clients are not fully vaxed and were not forcing guests to be. Kept the deposit though! Be sure before handing over your money.

Erin Woodgate

When we first got engaged, there were two main priorities for our big day - our photographer, and our wedding band. My husband had been an admirer of Applehead's work for the last couple of years, and once I saw their work I knew they were the only people I would trust capturing our day the way we wanted it. We based our wedding day around their availability, and after our day and seeing our photos - I am SO thankful we did that. What I feel makes Applehead unique from other wedding photographers is that they capture your day the as it happens - with the most amazing candid photos and all done in a manner that they comfortably fit into the background of our special day. As a bride, I felt amazingly comfortable with them around, and they never forced me into awkward poses I wasn't comfortable with and consistently reminded me "this is your day, if you need us, whatever you need, just yell." Our photos were so natural and captured what I felt is the essence of every wedding - the genuine love that myself and my husband have for each other. Nothing felt forced, or fake, or posed - exactly the way it should be. When viewed, each of our photos they captured allude an emotion - whether that be laughter, tears, or smiles - that remind you of that moment in the day (and as a bride, the day is such a blur that you forget so much that happened!) Since our day in October, I frequently look at photographs from other weddings and think they look so posed, or like a copy of a Pinterest board. Our wedding photos are unique, candid, SO FULL of love and a clear reminder of how unbelievably fun and exciting our day was. I am so thankful I made them a priority for our wedding. And if you want something out of the box, and interesting, and a couple of really fun people - you can't go wrong. Anyone can take wedding photos, but not everyone can capture the emotion and love that is so much more a part of the day and have it convey so naturally through photographs. I can't thank them enough for being a part of the best day of our lives!!!!

Lia Rinaldo

Easy to work with , he is very talented

Lauren Mitchell

After years, literally 5 of them, admiring Liam & Steph's work, our experience with them was every bit as incredible as we hoped. Despite the fact that they had just the two of us to work with instead of a full wedding party complete with guests, we have an astounding assortment of beautiful, unique, creative & fresh shots that will allow us to share our love for each other and the island of Maui with all our family & friends. We spent not just one day together, but ten long ones (14+ hours each). We were often up at 6:00am, or earlier, adventuring from sea level to 10,023 feet and not back to the hotel until 10:00pm or later and not once did these two disappoint - they were up for anything. We barely knew each other beforehand, but the fun and friendship we created together will always be such a great part of our wedding story. These cats can keep a Secret Elopement Secret, make you feel comfortable in front of a camera even when you usually aren't, and happily encourage your wedding day whims (the bride hiking a tropical rainforest in leather boots and a white dress, anyone?) We can't wait to force them to travel half-way around the world with us again. Applehead Studio No Ka Oi!

Nadine Yildiz

My husband and I hired Applehead to photograph our wedding this summer and have been blown away every step of the way. Liam and Steph are extremely personable, flexible and open minded. When we first met with them to decide if we would hire them, my husband had to drop me off and find parking, he told me after we left that he knew the second he walked in I had already decided, and he was right. When I walked into the studio and shook their hands I was immediately at ease, and in love with their laid back style, for me it was a no brainer we had to have them! Throughout the morning of the wedding there were a few posed shots, but mostly they took photos in the moment of everyone getting ready, and it was lovely to not have the pressure. Liam and Steph were creative, and extremely flexible on the day of the wedding and never hesitated to accommodate a request by us or our guests. They are professional when shooting, but more importantly they were friendly and so much fun! Jon and I are thrilled they were a part of our big day and if you have the chance to hire them, don't hesitate!

Bernadette Currie

My wife and I got married on June 27, 2015 and Applehead was hired to do the photography. We couldn't be happier with the service and with Liam and Stephanie's work. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about them and felt very comfortable around them. We were glad to have had them do the photography and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for an event in the future.

Daniel Babineau

Liam and Steph are incredible! When we had to move our wedding date due to Covid restrictions we had no issues rescheduling. They are very passionate about their work and it truly shows with the moments they capture. Thank you guys for accommodating, can’t wait for the big day!!

Josh ngoyi

Great team, very creative and awesome to work with.

Andréa Sampson

I love our Vow Renewal Pictures so much, I love them because of the fantastic job Liam and Steph did. We met in Jamaica for the vow renewal and I chatted with them about why these pictures were so important to us and they listened and understood exactly what we wanted. I believe my pictures are the most amazing pictures ever and am so proud to have them on my wall. See you in Turkey for the next vow renewal!!

Ryan Haddad

Liam and Steph helped pull off the best surprise proposal photo shoot ever! After over a month of emailing and changing dates, my now fiance and I travelled to Halifax where I was to propose. Liam, Steph and an apprentice setup at Peggy's Cove, disguised as other tourists. I met Liam in the bathroom to discuss the final shot location. They beyond pulled it off. My gf said yes and we are now so thankful to have the best photos of our life to prove it. They are professionals as the finest level. Out of 5 stars I give them 10, no no, actually 15. They went over and above to make us feel so welcomed in Canada and Halifax on such a special day. They are so good, we will be doing our absolute best to get them to our wedding in Scotland! World class photographers and now world class friends. Thanks guys!

M Kasama

We booked family photos with Jen while on a trip to Nova Scotia. We could not be more happy with how they turned out! She kept in constant contact with us our whole vacation to make sure we had the perfect night. She had our pictures to us in about a week and the price was very reasonable. Definitely recommend Applehead Studios!

Erin Chisholm

Our wedding was recently photographed by Ash & Rich from Applehead studios and I cannot say enough great things. From the second we met them, their energy was so infectious and they totally put us at ease. The candid shots of our friends and family from the ceremony go above and beyond everything we could have imagined. We had our two young daughters at the ceremony with us, and they were so amazing with them, and we’re able to get some amazing moments we will cherish forever. After the ceremony they took us out through Wolfville to take some photos of just my husband and I, and we are completely blown away by the results. It was a freezing cold evening, but they had us laughing through the whole thing and we’re so great about any requests we may have had. I can’t wait to be have more photographs done by them in the future, and have already recommended Applehead, and Ash & Rich to many of our friends.

Laura Baker

Theif who takes money and refuses to provide service. Disgusting.

Angie Romano

Make this the last review you read, save the countless hours of researching wedding photographers and just book Applehead, if they're not available for your date, change your date... That's what we did and it was completely worth it. My wife had been following them for years and was dead set on having them shoot our wedding, I needed a little bit of convincing, but man am I glad she won me over. Liam and Steph absolutely killed it. From meeting us out on the golf course at 10am right to the last shot taken (sometime between 12-1AM) these two were a pleasure to work with. I really felt (and the pictures speak to it) that they go out of their way to get the shots that a "normal" wedding photographer wouldn't get. The emotion and hilarity captured along with our traditional family shots were stunning. Also super impressed with the post production work, within a day or two they were sending us teasers and then the whole lot came way ahead of schedule. They also did a few custom editing/touch ups on certain pictures we wanted to use. These two enjoy what they do, have fun with it, and are true professionals. Thanks again Liam and Steph for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives... and having the amazing pictures to prove it. Chris and Meagan.

Rebecca Hussman

We went here for graduation photos as a group and had an amazing experience. Liam was awesome and made sure we were happy with our shots! He also took some really nice group ones for us and generally just went above and beyond every step of the way. Overall super happy with the pictures and and had a great experience!

Peter Amyoony

Great Photographers, great group of people - who also give back to the community - Thanks - Julia

Steve Dunn

Liam and Steph were chill, discreet and so fun the day of our elopement. 10/10 pals. I’ll never forget it!

Great work.

Andrew Leonard

Liam at Applehead Studio, Inc. takes all of the headshots for Baker Tilly Nova Scotia Inc. The quality of this work is second to none & is a fabulous value for the price. He is always professional, easy to reach & very flexible when trying to fit us in. He makes even the most camera shy subject feel comfortable & look amazing. If you are looking for an amazing photographer who will deliver top quality product & exceptional customer service, Liam is your guy. I would highly recommend him & his company for all of your future photography needs.

Heather A

I found Applehead via a Google search and after I checked out their gallery on their website i thought it might be a good fit. Im happy to say that it was a far better experience than what i was expecting, it was fun and Liam was extremely easy to work with and was patient with me the whole way through. Im very happy with the final pictures and in short, i would recommend Applehead to anyone who is looking for great service and high quality work.

Fay Patey

This place is extremely unprofessional. They do not communicate with clients in a respectful manner, Liam specifically, and does not take ownership of their own mistakes. They blame you for their lack of communication about closure dates for covid and do not even have the decency to apologize. They do not care about their clients and I will not be using this company for any events in the future. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Euan McGinty

Very Friendly

M L

I had a boudoir photo shoot with Ashley and she was amazing! From the moment I arrived for makeup through the entire shoot I felt extremely comfortable and I was very happy with the photos. Thank you!

Veronica Baker

Have used Applehead Studio Photography a number of times over the years for professional photographs They are talented, professional and deliver a wonderful product. Please be clear that any negative reviews you are seeing are because of a policy on vaccinations and NOT on the quality of their work or professionalism.

Mark Elliott

You'll never meet a more professional, talented photographer than Liam. Please ignore the 1-star gas-lighting vaccine deniers who've organized on Facebook and like some sort of cabal, have ganged up on this amazing reputable company.

My husband and I got married July 11, 2015. Having a great photographer was one of my main priorities for my wedding and after reading some reviews and checking out their website, I decided to book with Appleheads. From the very first meeting, both Liam and Steph were so easy going and laid back yet super professional. It's easy to see that both of them are genuinely passionate and excited about the work that they do. Liam was always easy to get a hold of to answer any of my questions prior to the wedding and was able to suggest a location for our photo shoot (which I absolutely loved). I can be a pretty shy person so I was nervous that I would feel uncomfortable or awkward at times during the photos but Liam and Steph have a way of making you feel relaxed and comfortable. I had so much fun working with them, looking back at our photos we were laughing in so many pictures. Liam and Steph felt like friends that day, they blended in so easily and made everyone feel at ease. The photos felt so effortless (for us) yet came out so beautifully. Liam and Steph decided to try out a new idea with our wedding - they had every guest pop in to their studio to get a picture of them dancing. The end result was a 6 foot picture with 111 people dancing to "shake it off". I absolutely love the picture and love that I will have this amazing keepsake for years to come. Liam and Steph stayed until the very end of the night so we not only have beautiful photos from getting ready, the ceremony and dinner but we have so many fun pictures of our friends and family dancing and partying the night away. I honestly could not have asked for better photographers and I am so thrilled with our wedding photos. I would recommend Applehead Studios to anyone and everyone :)

Bruce Wood

Liam and Steph photographed our wedding this summer and they were AMAZING! If they are available for your wedding date, book them now! Our photos are stunning, full of vibrant colours, beautiful shots and hilarious candids of our friends and family on the dance floor. They made all of our guests feel so comfortable and we had so much fun hanging out with them all day. My husband doesn’t like being the center of attention but Liam and Steph helped keep us all relaxed and made the photo part of the day a lot of fun. Our mom’s are still gushing about what a fabulous job they did, and so are we! Thank you guys so much for capturing our day. :)

Billy Freeman

His track record speaks for itself...and then add his concern for the greater good? No brainer, book this man!

Alicia Romkey

Liam is truly the best at what he does. I loved every single shot he took and he was really fun to work with. I highly recommend him for all of your photography needs!

Annette LeBlanc

I had such an incredible experience. I was late to my session, but Liam made sure everything worked out. We had a blast working together. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for terrific photographers!

Erica Arenovich

Applehead worked with my friends Sean and Tabitha Sobey at Oceanstone for their wedding. They took unimaginably great and creative photos. They were fun to work with and simply great people. If they were available 10 years ago for my wedding I would've booked them in a flash!

Megan Cuthbertson

I don't even know where to start.... The experience of having Liam & Steph (our paparazzi, as they were called by other guests at our resort)) shoot our wedding in Mexico was more than I could have ever hoped! We were referred to them by a friend and after seeing Applehead's website I knew I had to have them shoot our wedding. I sent them an email and inquired about having them come to Mexico, I was a little nervous seeing as we are from Alberta and would not have a chance to meet with them before hand. The response was prompt and Liam immediately put any fears I had to rest! They spent the entire week with our group and honestly I don't think it took any time before they just fit right in! So easy to be around and talk to and Liam is hilarious! My laugh lines definitely deepened that week! Even during our 6am Shoot! I couldn't wait to see the finished product and all I can say is WOW! I have never been one to put actual photographs on my walls and now my walls are covered!! Would love to work with these two again!

Danielle

Applehead is hands down the best. Liam and Steph captured our wedding day four years ago and the photos were pure perfection. They captured everything we could have asked for and more. The photos beautifully hold the emotion of one of the most special days of our lives. Liam and Steph are wonderful people, they made us so comfortable and were exceptionally professional every step of the way. You cannot go wrong with Applehead!

Dave R

When I started looking for wedding photographers I quickly set up heart on Applehead Studio. They came highly recommended to us by friends and family who has worked with them for their weddings.I quickly fee in love with their work and was very excited when I found out they were available on our wedding date. They did not disappoint. When we met before the wedding I let them know that I wanted the wedding to be focused on friends, family and guns! Yes guns. My husband is a competitive shooter and I wanted to incorporate that into our photos. When Liam and Steph say they have an idea you don't hesitate you just do. The result is one wedding bouquet blown into many pieces by a single bullet and an imagine that we will laugh about in the years to come and one photo in an old wooden boat that we will treasure. Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding. I can't wait until the next time we get to shoot together.

Emma Gillam

They shot our wedding and we get nothing but praise and complements about our photos! If you’re trying to figure out where into invest your money for your wedding, invest in Applehead! It’s so worth it, for a lifetime!

M B

I highly commend the dedication of this business to common sense and public safety in respect to their vaccination policy. I have been to a number of weddings where Applehead has been used and have been very impressed with the results.

Alana Robertson

We have been to many events shot by Applehead and the photo's and staff have always been amazing. My sister recently booked Applehead for her upcoming Fall 2022 wedding, communication has always been fast, kind, informative and accommodating. Their photos and videos speak for themselves, they do an amazing job and authentically capturing beautiful moments.

Allan Walsh

Liam did an amazing job with our grad pictures. He was very accommodating of our schedules and let us come in after hours since we were unable to make it during the day. He was very patient and took great shots. The photos were given to us right away and shot beautifully. I would highly recommend Applehead Studio!

Scott Duff

Absolute professional legends in their industry.

Jessica Aylard

Liam did my cousin's wedding in Jamaica a couple of years ago. His entire crew was super professional to deal with and lovely: became part of the wedding. His photos were phenomenal. Highly recommend.

Meagan Cole

We woke up on the morning of our wedding day to a downpour of rain, and one of the first text messages I read was from Liam - he just wanted to let me know that we were going to have the best day ever, no matter the weather. It was at that point that I was absolutely certain that we had made the right decision in hiring Applehead Studio to photograph our wedding. Liam and Steph instantly fit in with our friends and family, and made everyone forget that they had (multiple) cameras strapped to them! We never felt like we were posing either, which was really important to us. They captured the best moments of the day, and treated us like their best friends - we didn't want them to leave at the end of the night. Our photos are spectacular. We have put them on canvas, ordered massive prints from Applehead and purchased a photo album - there is nothing that we haven't been happy with. We will be calling upon Applehead Studio to capture other milestones in our lives, and we can't wait to work with them again!

Arthur Seaman

We planned our wedding from Calgary, and photographer was first on our list. It took me about 15 seconds after looking at the Applehead Wedding portfolio online before I was hooked. I told my husband "They have to shoot our wedding". For almost 18 months Liam and I bantered back and forth via email. When I finally got to meet him it was like we were old friends catching up. It was such a relief to know (even before seeing a single shot) that we'd chosen the right guys for the job. I kid you not when I say, that Liam and Steph instantly became part of the family on our wedding day. Steph helped with the millions of buttons on my dress when my Maid of Honour's manicure started chipping. I think she even carried our two your old son to the car! Liam captured my husband's tears and even took a little verbal abuse for it. Later he told me it was worth it because he knew that the bride would never forgive him if he didn't get that rare moment on camera. He was right, to this day, it is still one of my most favorite captured memories of that our wedding day. All of the personal anecdotes asides, their level of talent, artistic flare, professionalism, respect and damn right lovable East Coast charm is what makes them worthy of their title "Best Halifax Wedding Photographers". My guests still talk about how much fun they were to be around and how easy it was for them to "be themselves" even though they knew there were cameras lurking in the background. They blended in and captured moments we didn't even know were happening. Every shot we asked for, we got, and with a little of the Applehead flare to make every single one of out photos worthy of a frame and tear. The dress someday will not fit, the flowers will wilt and die, no one will remember the food...but the photos...the photos you have for life and Applehead will deliver timeless, classic, breathtaking photos that you can have for eternity. Photos are tangible memories, if you want them to be perfect, then it has to be Applehead.

Jason Breeze

Totally professional and fun crew!

Kaitlyn Hines

Liam did a university graduation photo session with my son and created fantastic photographs. Since my son is graduating with a math degree, we wanted to do something unique by using a blackboard with math calculations and Liam enthusiastically encouraged us to go with this plan. He provided a blackboard backdrop and gave us the time we needed to write all the formulas and equations, and then he did his magic! He set up such a comfortable and fun environment that my son, who is not usually a fan of posing for pictures, was at ease and Liam captured many natural expressions ranging from a serious look to great smiles. Liam went above and beyond our expectations. We LOVE the pictures...and will for years to come.

payton melvin

Standing up for, and supporting, a good photographer!

Brielle Sharkey

Beyond pleased with the results from our shoot with Liam. He was super laid-back and accommodating, coming to our office and shooting around a dozen of our headshots easily and quickly, during a very chaotic day I might add! He managed to make everyone feel comfortable and get great results. He also provided the minor requested edits to the photos (such as removing stray hairs) in a timely manner. A big bonus is that new team members can go back to him to get matching headshots taken -- highly recommend!

Sadly I am writing this review with a heavy heart. My daughters wedding booked for this August has been cancelled. Last year 5 months before Covid every detail was in place and we were ready to celebrate a wonder day. Then Covid came. The wedding and all the details were rescheduled for a year, enough time we thought. In January the difficult decision was made to completely cancel. The majority of guests were to come from Ontario a task that is now impossible with strict travel and quarantine protocols here at home. My daughter lives in Ontario works as a nurse and wanted a Nova Scotia wedding. All the cancellations we had to make, and they were a lot,have been gracious, thoughtful and kind. Yes she lost her deposits for everything booked and that was completely expected and understandable. These were non refundable deposits. Applehead however has requested the non refundable deposit plus 50% of the agreed fee. It’s in their contract. No one could predict a global pandemic and the quarantine restrictions, cancelling was not on a whim. Cancellation was done with 8 months notice. Covid has been difficult for us all including small business, I get that. Applehead you may believe it is your “right” to demand the 50% as defined in your contract, but sometimes in life it is beholden to DO what is right . After all a wedding is an affair of the heart not the head.

Toni Grossett

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Applehead. Liam and Steph are unfailingly professional, absurdly talented and ridiculously fun. They traveled to Pittsburgh for a long weekend to shoot our wedding, and were incredible additions to our wedding party. They worked tirelessly, scouting locations on Thursday and Friday, shooting the rehearsal, the trip to Mt. Washington, and the rehearsal dinner, and then were back at it for a VERY full day on Saturday for the wedding. Their instincts are impeccable, and they have this remarkable control over their shoots without inserting themselves into the action. You can really just say "Do you thing," and know that the results will be amazing. Their work speaks for itself, but what it doesn't speak to is just how wonderful Liam and Steph are to work with. They fit in seamlessly with our friends, family and guests, and they really made our weekend that much more fun just by being awesome. They are expert photographers and expert wedding guests. In fact, one of our bridesmaids liked them so much that she hired them to shoot her own wedding in Miami in April 2016 (can't wait to see you guys!) Words simply cannot do justice to how unbelievable Liam and Steph are and we cannot recommend them emphatically enough.

There simply aren’t enough stars on the page. We didn’t even meet with any other photographers. Upon sitting down with Liam and Steph, we instantly fell in love – had to have them – scheduled the date of our wedding around the only date that worked with them for the rest of the year. One of the biggest pieces of advice anyone can give you on choosing a photographer is to pick one not just because they take killer photos (and we mean they really are killer) but because you connect with them. They’re down to earth, accommodating, willing to move heaven and earth, and ultimately lower your stress level. You don’t have to worry about ensuring they capture what you want – they know what you want captured before it even happens. They’re constantly challenging creativity itself. Aside from all of that we got a box of the most gorgeous wedding photos known to man. They give you the opportunity to remember the day from start to finish so all you have to do is enjoy it. The worst part of using Applehead as your photographers will be trying to narrow down what photos to put on the wall! We will never get tired of people telling us that our wedding photos are the best they have ever seen. Liam and Steph are too legit to quit and the biggest mistake someone could make when choosing a photographer is not choosing Applehead Studios.

Do you hear that? That's my wife STILL talking about how much she loves our wedding pictures! You'd be lucky to have these two at your wedding. Very few photographers in Canada work as hard for you as Liam and Steph. Thanks again guys. Cheers!

We’ve worked with Applehead Studio quite a bit over the past year. From staged shots to headshots, we’re always happy with the final piece. They have the ability to really capture the personality in each shot which is one of the reasons we love working with them!

My Fiance and I had Applehead Studio do our engagement photos and we will never regret that decision. The day we agreed to do our shoot was pouring rain and Liam called us to ensure we still wanted to do the shoot or delay it for better weather. We agreed to go through with the shoot and thanks to Liam and Steph we had way more fun than we could have imagined. The ideas they came up with made for some amazing shots that we will have forever. We were so happy to use Applehead Studio and can't wait to use them again in the future.

I had prom photos taken by Applehead Studio Photography at the start of the pandemic and they turned out amazing. They are very professional, and I would definitely recommend!

Stands up for safety!

After loving every single photograph that was post by Applehead in the past 6 years, I was so excited when we finally got engaged to finally ask for pricing. As a wedding Photographer myself I know how hard it is to capture the moments throughout a big day and Liam & Steph blew us away with their fun attitudes, going above expectations and of course amazing images that we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

I went here to get my graduation portrait done with two friends. We had an amazing experience! Our photographer, Liam, was a lot of fun and made sure we were happy with or photos before he stopped shooting. They sent us our proofs in a timely manner and edited our final photos very nicely. I highly recommend!

Stephanie Whidden

They did a friends wedding, in a safe and professional manner following all guidelines in place. PS: I noticed some very negative reviews relating to the pandemic, and just grow up, if you don't care a about safety, well you do you, but don't expect a professional business to tell someone to go to a unsafe event just so you can have your photos.

I can honestly say that if you are lucky enough to have the opportunity for Liam and Steph to photograph your wedding, as they did ours, then book them immediately. On a day when there are so many details to fuss over, you can take photography off your wedding planning list and not even think about it until the glorious photos show up in your inbox. They become not only "the photographer", but your friends in the process, and by the time all is said and done they'll get some amazingly candid shots of you, and your family and friends without anyone realizing they are even there taking photos. You won't stand around posing for hours, but through their skill and talent they manage to get photos which you'll cherish for years. They are 5 star photographers and people and I can't recommend them enough.

Brad Deyoung

The most epic wedding photographers! They really love their work and it shows! It made our wedding day so incredible working with them and the photos are unreal! I feel so fortunate to have worked with them! My husband and I will forever remember our wedding day through the photos they captured!

Julie Senior

We've been lucky enough to have photos taken by Liam and Steph three times now. As someone who self declares as un-photogenic (possibly photo-phobic), they made every experience natural and fun. Whether Steph is climbing into a tree to get the best shot, or they're standing waist deep in the Atlantic in late October, Applehead will go to the extreme to capture your best moments. It was such a pleasure working with them for our wedding - I couldn't imagine having had anyone else there, and we get compliments on the photos every day. Honestly, we look for excuses to come back now and work with them again - because it's like hanging out with friends who give you the greatest keepsake of each visit.

I booked Applehead for my wedding (September 18th, 2021) thinking they would capture our special day. Liam (one of the photographers and I think owners) confirmed two days before that Ash and Rich would be at the venue for 4:00pm. Sadly, 4:30pm came around and they still were not there. After many calls, Liam answered and said "They aren't coming. We've been trying to contact you from 3 to 11 last night!". Heart broken, I passed the phone to my sister. He was unapologetic to say the least. He said that Ash and Rich were exposed to COVID the day before shooting another venue and they weren't wearing masks. Liam made know effort to contact me via my personal phone or email. He also did not contact the venue to let them no or my partner's number. I would never recommend Applehead. Horrible service. I understand we are in a pandemic, but if I knew they weren't coming I could have scrambled to find someone else.

I had my university graduation shots done here with a couple friends. Great experience and one that I would recommend to all graduates. Very fun and comfortable environment -- we were very happy with how our photos turned out. Also a really cool studio to work in, and very reasonable prices. So glad we went here.

Toni Ainamo

Never a dull moment! Liam and Steph quickly vibed with our guests and rocked the candid shots. They perfectly executed our engagement session on the coldest night of the year without a single complaint. Professional, creative, fun, gutsy…they’re the whole package!

Liam came highly recommended to me and did not disappoint. Was able to get in for head shots next day and process was exactly as described. In and done in a few minutes. I hate having my picture taken, but Liam made this a great experience. Super comfortable, enough direction (not the crazy head tilting, humans cannot move this way type stuff) and the results were excellent. I ended up with a bunch of photos to choose from which was easy with the online gallery. Picked my photo, photo was sent to me in full size, touched up, and no restrictions on use. Very happy, will recommend Applehead to everyone I can.

Liam was super efficient, friendly, and professional. Very quick turnaround on the proofs. Absolutely recommend!!
