Introduction

Beth Kukucka Photography offers coverage for small WEDDINGS and EVENTS as well as children’s and family PORTRAITS. Beth has a relaxed, candid technique that captures the moment naturally. (Refer to reviews.) PORTRAIT SESSIONS are $300 for a thirty minute session that includes a three month online gallery within one week. WEDDING and EVENT PHOTOGRAPHY is $250 per hour, up to five hours, and can be customized for your specific needs. The storefront gallery that comes with every session includes its own APP, which makes it easy to view on your phone, order prints, enlargements and HD downloads. This personalized, private gallery can also be shared with family and friends. BECAUSE OF THE DISCOUNTED SERVICES I OFFER THROUGH THUMBTACK, I ASK FOR SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY. (Thumbtack vendors are charged for inquiries.) Thank you!

Beth was extremely helpful in capturing my proposal. She worked with me to capture the moment as a surprise for my fiance and was able to do it in a relatively short timeframe. She was very responsive and professional throughout, which helped me feel confident things would turn out well, and the proposal and photos all turned out great!

Our family hired Beth to take headshots and portraits for our son's senior pictures and college applications to drama schools. She was exceptional and very pleasant to work with. She was patient and creative and really seemed interested in getting to know her subject so that she could bring out his personality in the photos. We will definitely hire her again!

I needed headshots on Wednesday and it was already Monday. I filled out the thumbtack survey that morning asking me what my needs were when it came to a photographer. Within ten minutes Beth contacted me and told me she was ready for the job. We met on Tuesday and twelve hours later, the entire gallery with 300+ pictures was available to me. And all this for a very reasonable price considering the time or lack thereof. The shots were high quality with many variations of backgrounds and poses to choose from. She took something like 1000 pictures overall. What's more is that as a student, I have exceedingly limited mobility. But Beth didn't care. She drove to me and then drove me around the area to go to the different places she wanted to capture me in. On top of all this, Beth is extremely friendly and an excellent conversation partner to have deep discussions with. I would recommend her to anyone and will most definitely ask her for her services again when I need them again.

Did not deliver my expectations . Photo editing was not on par ,looked grainy and blurring objects in the background were very visible . No justice to the time invested in me , quality or quantity of pictures. Did not have any calls before meeting on spot .

This session was scheduled to take place at the Sky Lantern Festival this past weekend. Contrary to the customer’s statement that no calls were made in advance, I in fact, made three attempts to check in with them upon arrival, as well as extensive correspondence in the weeks leading up to this festival. The plan was to meet at 7:00 pm. They were stuck in parking traffic (so was I, but I allowed for time), and arrived nearly an hour later than planned. By the time they arrived, there was only a short time before the launch began, and I had to keep my eyes on where they were located. If not for that, I would have missed their launch, as there was no attempt to let me know when they were launching, or what their plans were. There were two launches. I filmed and photographed both. I’m attaching a few photos from their coverage. Vibrant and sharp. I had the gallery and video ready the next day, as well as sending them a few previews in advance, which they loved. I trust that my 55 4-star ratings will be a consideration when reading this review of my services.
