wow - what a great background! No effort whatsoever.

There was an issue with my prints and the delivery and I was so upset at all that money I spent on school portraits that were creased during delivery! The owner was great and super understanding, he had gotten more prints overnighted and then BROUGHT THEM TO OUR HOUSE to drop them off in person to avoid any further issue! I was so surprised and shocked to have a business care that much- I really appreciate the effort. Keep up the good work!

Kemmetmueller provides the team photos for Wayzata High School sports teams. For the past four years my kids have been on sports teams, Kemmetmueller has consistently produced poor quality photographs (usually overexposed). Our order is almost always not what we ordered. We have gotten pictures of a different athlete, wrong team photo, or not gotten our order at all (it took multiple calls to finally get out order filled). Given that Kemmetmueller consistently fails to complete our order correctly, and produces poor quality photographs (I could do better with my smartphone), it is a wonder why Wayzata continues to use them as their athletic photo provider. I wouldn't trust them to take a picture of my lunch.

I bought a Groupon for Kemmetmueller's Elusive Art photo shoot. I was super nervous, but Elle was wonderful to work with! She made the whole thing very comfortable, and the photos turned out beautifully - my boyfriend LOVED them!The process of ordering the photos and a book afterwards was a little more time-consuming than I would have liked, but I feel it's probably just because I didn't understand the work involved to make it happen. Prices were a little steep, but I think probably on par with other local businesses.All in all, pleased with my experience, and have recommended them (and specifically Elle) to friends!

Matthew from Kemmetmueller Photography just did my husband and my wedding photography. He along with an assistant shot our wedding day for 8 hours. They were professional, on time and thorough. Matthew has a booming personality that kept our very large wedding party and family on schedule and paying attention. I would suggest Kemmetmueller Photography for your next event!

Both of our daughters and their teams had their sports pics done and on a beautiful day outside, the photographer had the teams and individual pics done INSIDE in the High School cafeteria! I absolutely hate the background on these lacrosse pics - you can see the posters and the principles office in the background... how quaint. One of the players even had a random person walking in her background. I mean seriously, at least drop an outdoor scene or stadium into the background - it's not hard! At no time EVER should an outdoor sports team have their pics taken indoors. I reluctantly ordered but if this type of shoddy photography continues, I won't ever order from you again. Do Better!update - they called me back and said that the coach did call and said that the weather might not be great and if that's the case, shoot them indoors... but what your photography FAILED to use is use reasoning. It wasn't raining. The weather was actually pretty nice but they shot them indoors anyway. They just took the easy way out and didn't put in any effort.

Run by a man-child, Matthew "The Body" Kemmetmueller, who inherited the business through his father, now deceased.Overpriced products which were lackluster in most regards from the photograph itself to the cheap luster it was printed on.Lack of communication to the customer, as well as between employees, as problems seem to be repeated ad nauseum to the point where it felt like employees must have worked on opposite sides of the continent.The new owner, Matthew, does not seem to have enough experience running a business, and the quality of photographs has only gotten worse since he took over for the original owner, his father. Throw in acquisitions of smaller companies like CLIX and one might assume he was simply throwing money around, that he may strike gold in the form of employees that could run the business for him while he sits on haunches. I can only imagine how much money it must have taken to buy such companies, and how obvious it is that no further money was invested into these acquisitions to improve them.Constant complaints from parents about how their children were treated poorly at photo days, constant complaints about missing order items (mostly magnets and buttons), and constant complaints about the three photography companies located at Kemmetmueller Photography's address.Would not recommend.

They were hired to take individual and team photos. The photos were adequate, and when they put the team posters together they put 2 girls in twice and left one out. They quickly fixed it with no effort, sloppily done. No apologies were made or thank you to us for letting them know of their mistakes. Do not use them-you will be disappointed.

DO NOT RECOMMEND FOR SPORTS PHOTOSMaybe these guys are good for family or weddings, but that are terrible for sports pictures! Multiple complaints on quality from our hockey association. I had to pay a $25 sitting fee because my child was quarantined during team photos, and I was told that they could just add him to the team and attitude photos, after months, I have yet to see these pictures, and the rest of the team already bought team photos without my kids in them!

Matthew took over the business from his father, and I think it went from over priced cheesy photos to good wedding talent with attitude and high prices. Both individuals are quite arrogant. Anyway, the son was a guest photographer at my wedding (basically came along with the photographer I hired). I had not met him prior. His pictures were good, but I didn't have to deal with pricing or the business aspect as I bought through the hired photographer (Loved him by the way!)He later ended up shooting pictures of my daughter, maternity through one year. Long story how, but he came to us and requested we let him take the photos for experience. So, long story short, we did not get what we were supposed to get out of the deal. Regardless, we were his on the job training. He complained about kids as he took our pictures and a lot of time was spent talking, so by the time pictures were taken our baby was crabby. He also spent a lot of time talking poorly of past and current clients as well as other photographers, making us wonder what he would say about us to other clients. We have been hung up on by his father, waited up to four months to see our photos, quoted different prices by Matthew; lied to about our agreement and "so called deals" and the father is incredibly condescending. When I met with him, he slowly explained how to take a picture out of the picture frame, and went as far as to explain to me which side of a photograph is the image side! Overall, not worth the money.

My two children are nearing completion at Wayzata High School and have been involved in activities with photo shoots many times each year. Kemmetmeuller photography has been wonderful--each time I pulled the package out of a backpack I've been delighted. Service when my kids have forgotten to order packages (frequently for my son) went above and beyond. Often I stopped in to ID which kid from the track team and was welcomed with patience in the search. Thanks for capturing the memories that will help celebrate graduation and remember these days in years to come! --Woohoo Wayzata Mom
