My now husband hates taking pictures in…read moregeneral, but Noreen made our experience during both our engagement photo session and the day of our wedding easy for us. I didn't feel like I had to worry about us getting good photos because I felt we could trust Noreen and her assistant to get the job done. She was so easy to work with during the planning process as we had to postpone one year due to COVID. We also dealt with some rain on our wedding day, and the pictures we took with umbrellas came out beautifully. We highly recommend her for your wedding!

I remember it fondly, when Yelp's own Tom Clarke and Meredith Kleiber had a joint art showing at…read moreRembrandts in Fairmount, almost a year ago. I wasnt much of an art fan, but I was a fan of those two talented Yelpers and seeing their work showcased like that, and the fact that I was actually friends with them, was magical. I had mentally noted some favorites, but didnt know if I would ever be able to buy any. At that time, art just wasnt in my budget. Little by little, I was able to put aside some money, to brighten my new home. I purchased a Tom Clarke this fall, and debated which Kleiber photo, to make mine. Also in attendance at that showing last year, was Lulu. She looked radiant as usual and it was very cool to look at the photos with her. She didnt just casually take in the art, like I would. She studied it. She saw the intricacies of the work and each shot moved her. I think this connection to all things was both a blessing and a curse for her, ultimately causing her downfall. At the time, I had made a note of the photographs, that she spent more time with. Fast forward to early 2010. Lulus birthday ws at the end of January, and since I wasnt going to be able to shower her with expensive gifts, like many of her suitors would, I decided to make it personal. With my idea, I was able to honor two of my friends, with one act. I would be able to get a simple, heartfelt gift for one friend, and support the wonderful art of another, Meredith Kleiber. Lulu is an ex-dancer and there was one shot of Meredith's that I felt embodied that principle. Just a simple little shot of a dancer, on her way to...something, in street clothes, doing a plie while waiting for a light to change. I dont know if this is one of the ones that Lulu liked at the show, but I felt it was perfect. After contacting Meredith, and getting a really reasonable price for a small print +frame, I made plans to pick it up, to get it in time for Lulu's Bday. This, was when the fun started. Ill note, that Meredith went above and beyond, to get me the print, but theres just no beating fate and Mother Nature. First, soon after ordering the photo, I had a bout with illness, which put me in the hospital and out of commission for more than a week. Then, when I finally felt good enough to venture out, Snowmeggedon hit Philly, and I was cooped up for another few weeks. Lulu's birthday had come and gone, and I apologized for the belatedness of my gift and promised I would see her and get it to her soon. She understood and was even embarassed that I had even got her anything. Around mid February, the snow had melted (somewhat) and I was feeling good and ready to get this transaction done. Sadly, as many know, and unrelated to this story, Lulu took her own life on Feb 13th. I hadnt got the picture to her yet. It was a few weeks before I was able to think about the picture that I picked out and bought for her. Im not so deluded to think that her getting the pic would have changed anything ( although I wont go on record as saying Meridiths art doesnt save lives) but I really wish she could have seen it and know that there were people who cared about her. I contacted Meredith, who had been so cool and understanding through the whole ordeal, and discussed what I wanted to do about the pic. Even though she had already shelled out her own money for the print and frame, she would have been willing to either cancel the order or even give it to me for free. She offered this not only because she is a good person, but because she is a friend. I wasnt having it though. I decided I still wanted the print, and that I wanted to pay. This goes back to my initial dream, of both owning a piece of her work and supporting her art. One of the things I thought originally was that I was happy to get something for Lulu but was disappointed that I wouldnt have my own Kleiber. I would have had to buy my own eventually anyway. So this past week, I finally got my "Street Ballet". It may be a little girly for me , but I love it. If my daughter ever gets around to cleaning her room, I may give it to her. For now, it hangs below Tom C's "Smiling Buddah" so that I have a wall devoted directly to my talented Yelp friends. I dont know if there is a moral to all of this, besides one where you should go to the website http://kleibography.com/ and get a print of your own. One thing Ive learned , is not to procrastinate and make excuses and when I really want to do something or need to do something, to get up and do it no matter what. There should be no obstacle in my way that I shouldnt just be able to plie right past.

Flagrantly unprofessional!!! Paid 6k+ never received photos…read moreof my daughters special day!!! Maxine and Donna were uncooperative and on more than one occasion no shows when I had a scheduled appt. Low quality proofs printed on office stock paper in a loose leaf binder. Consistently avoided phone calls and any efforts to provide me with package purchased. Maxine chose 50 images for album and presented an album which appeared to be printed via a local cvs store and proceeded to tell me any images added to album would cost 150.00 each!!! Years , 13 to be accurate, all attempts have fallen on deaf ears.All i have requested is the package paid for to no avail. I can not recreate the day and just long for my daughter to have her portrait and album of her special day!!! Each time I did reach Maxine, Lou or Donna they asked for JPEG numbers from the proof book ,which I provided. Still no portraits and no album! All I received from Bresner is a runaround and avoidance. To date all I have from my daughters event are memories and 4 5x7s. Certainly not the 6k dollar package that was paid in full!!! Half of which I paid 2 years prior to the event to book the date. At my daughters event we hosted 250 people. sadly, many who are near and dear to us are gone.We have no photos . Photo memories are irreplaceable!!! All I want is for my daughter to have her album and portraits. Very sad !!! It is despicable that Bresner calls themselves professionals and their complete lack of professionalism in their field is beyond comprehension. My daughters photos of her special day are gone forever and irreplaceable . In closure ,all I can say is BUYER BEWARE!!!! Chose wisely when hiring a photographer to capture your once in a lifetime event!!! It is my hope to prevent anyone to experience this travesty as a memory of their special day/event.

Most of the other photographers I called could not accommodate me on such short notice, but Ade made it happen! He was polite, professional, patient, kind, caring, and great with the toddlers. Throughout the shoot, Ade often made suggestions and focused on what he could do to make the next shot even better than the one before. A true master of his craft. After the photoshoot, on our way to our vehicles near the water, Ade asked if we were willing to take just a few more shots as the sun went down; we said yes. Check out the photo section for an image of how Ade's vision was realized and perfectly depicted in my sister's photo. This company exceeded our expectations, and we are forever grateful for the memories Ade & Gina captured in a few hours that we can now cherish for a lifetime.

They worked with me to finalize the details and the final quote was in line with what I was looking for and very competitive. What impressed me the most was the professionalism of the studio across the board - working with the owner on the timeline, working with the photographers each day, and the speed of the final deliverables. The studio even made some adjustments on a group photo to remove some items and enhance it. Prior to the start, the owner created a very detailed timeline of the event for each photographer and a group text to keep everyone informed of any changes or to handle any issues. The photographers themselves were great! They were not obtrusive, quick to respond and did a great job capturing the spirit of the event across the 3 days. To summarize, what impressed me was: - Timeliness on quoting and response rate - Excellence of staff - Coordination of staff - Punctuality and professionalism - Quality of the final product Please consider them for your next event.

I was recently asked to provide a review for J & J Studios, nearly five years after working with…read morethem. I had avoided doing so because I understand how hard it can be for small businesses, especially in the wedding industry, and I do not leave negative reviews lightly. That said, the request brought the experience back, and I feel it is worth sharing for other couples. We originally booked J & J Studios during lockdown in 2020 for our April 2022 wedding. In January 2022, after I received a serious medical diagnosis, my husband and I had to postpone our wedding to October. Our venue and every other vendor worked with us, requested reasonable documentation, and did not require additional payment. J & J handled things differently. We were told we would need to pay a new deposit to hold the new date, plus an additional fee because they were unlikely to rebook our original date. We were told that if they did book it, the extra cost would be refunded. With significant medical bills at the time, that added cost was not feasible. For context, about two months after we postponed, I had a friend inquire about our original April date, and she was told it was booked. I wish the experience had been different. We were willing to meet them in the middle as far as the additional payment given the circumstances but they felt they could not at the time. I understand that businesses have policies, but during an already difficult and emotional time, we were left feeling unsupported.
