Of all of our wedding vendors, Michael Romeo Creations was definitely our favorite one! We used…read morethem for both photography and videography and it was the best decision! Michael's ability to direct large groups of people and create such beautiful photos is really incredible. I truly haven't seen anyone do this as well as him. Michael and his team were there to capture the entire event and made sure he didn't miss any key moments. We feel so lucky to have had Michael Romeo Creations as our wedding photographers and videographers. We love looking back on the beautiful album, videos, and photos he captured of our special day.

There was non-stop traffic over in his area because of his determination to make it an amazing experience for everybody. The technology, props and work ethic he brings with him is unmatched. He incorporates the most up-to-date AI, has tremendous quantity and quality of props (he actually pays attention to what people like the most), and his communication before, during and after the event is very reliable. It does not stop there- what he provides for you after the event with highlight videos, an album including each photo taken, download links, special effects and more are above and beyond. We can't thank him enough and plan to use him again for our younger daughter in a couple of years. Thank you JB!!

The rise of apps like instagram have helped to fuel the common misconception that "anyone can take a photo", however, take one look at Lazarro's impressive portfolio and you'll quickly understand how he's a step above the rest. It takes a patient eye and true talent to capture the moments that are unique to live music. His impressive list of clients speaks for itself - there's a reason that massive names like Insomniac Entertainment and Armin Van Buuren have enlisted Freedom Film's services time and time again. And on top of it all, Lazzaro is a pleasure with whom to work! The pride he takes in his assignments, paired with his perseverance and fun-loving attitude make him one of the top contenders in the game. You won't be disappointed with the images and memories Freedom Film will capture at your next event!

tl;dr: Montclair Studio (Michael) is the most unprofessional vendor we have ever dealt with. The…read morepost-wedding experience was so bad that when we look at our photos, we get really upset. We chose Montclair Studio after a recommendation from a friend who hired them for his wedding. Big mistake! It's likely Michael will respond to this review defending himself without accepting that he messed up (see other reviews). We just want an apology and all of our wedding content. Michael refuses to accept any fault for his behavior. He does not return emails, texts, or phone calls (his email inbox and voicemail are also full). You will have such a bad aftertaste dealing with Michael post-wedding that you will feel bad when you look at your photos rather than be full of joy. At the wedding, things went relatively well; after the wedding is when things really got out of hand. He made it very difficult to get the wedding photo files, which was required to be able to choose photos for an album; he claimed he mailed them to us in San Francisco where we live, but he deceived us: USPS tracking # he gave us showed that he never actually sent them We called him out on that and they miraculously were sent. When we complained, he blamed USPS and said we should just pick it up in New Jersey...but we live in California! Finally, the USB of the wedding photos arrived to SF. The quality of the wedding photos were mediocre: he did not do a good job with outdoor photos or framing. He also had not sent us our Thursday afternoon Mehndi event photos. When we asked how to get those, he said to pick them up in NJ! My mother drove from Manhattan to Montclair (1+ hr driving one-way). Nobody was at the Studio when she arrived, even though she confirmed the time with him! The video was delivered AFTER the contract deadline; Michael demonstrated no remorse. My mom agreed again to drive to Montclair to pick up the Mehndi photos and the wedding videos, which he said would be ready; she arrived and while there was a USB left taped to the door (which someone could have stolen), the USB did not have any video on it! We eventually received the videos. The highlight video was very short; it almost exclusively showed highlights from our pre-wedding photoshoot and not the wedding. The full length video is missing my wife's vows as well as the Hora dance (an important highlight of any Jewish wedding). His contract stated we could receive the raw video footage if we sent him a hard drive. So we purchased a hard drive and mailed it to his studio. He was not there to receive it, so the post office mailed it back to my parents, who then mailed it to him one final time (we now had paid twice for shipping). Finally, the hard drive arrived to us in SF. We were so excited and thought this terrible saga was over. When we opened the hard drive, guess what? There was no video footage on it! My parents and my wife reached out to Michael, all to no avail. We waited months to write this because we were hoping to secure all of our wedding content first, in case he would hold it hostage due this poor review. At this point, we have given up. Any time we look at our photos, we get upset because it reminds us of this terrible experience with Montclair/Michael. Michael, if you read this, please give us our wedding raw video footage and an apology. Show some honor and accept responsibility for your mistakes.

My wife and I…read morewere just in awe of how amazing the photos looked, especially the portraits which looked like a work of art. We were assigned Reena and Roderick as our main photographer and videographer, and Ben and Tuck as the secondary photographer and videographer. They gave such clear direction to ensure the photos came out the way we wanted. All 4 of them were respectful, professional and very accommodating. We had an extensive list of photo combinations we wanted with the bridal party, our parents, wedding sponsors, and extended family and the Dean Michaels team managed to capture every single moment. I'd ask Reena last minute if we could take pictures at different locations and she would be so accommodating and the photos came out perfect. We are so glad we went with Dean Michaels. It's always tough picking through hundreds of wedding photo companies but my wife and I really liked the style of Dean Michaels which provided a good mix of dramatic and traditional photos without being too over the top. We highly recommend Dean Michaels if you're undecided who to go with for your wedding or any other events!

It is professional, fun, artistic, and it makes me laugh and cry every time. I could never thank Gaby and Danny enough for all of their work and effort.

My husband and I wanted some fun couple photos in the city we love (where we met). Joe made us feel very comfortable and captured beautiful, candid moments. He's truly an artist! After seeing the results of that day, my husband and I were so excited to work with Joe and his wife Vickie on our wedding day. We got married on June 23, 2019 in New Jersey. With this being the first wedding in both of our families, we greatly appreciated Vickie's suggestions throughout the planning process and incorporated them into creating the perfect wedding day schedule!

A few of our favorite moments included: reading love letters we wrote to each other, our first look before the ceremony, and sneaking away before cake cutting for a nighttime photo session. As we look back at our photos and highlight video, we are simply in awe of their work! Vickie and Joe are so thoughtful in their approach and perfectly captured all the emotions and subtle expressions of the day!
