My experience with Jennifer Neves was the one significant source of stress in an otherwise perfect celebration. As a calm, organized person, I took every effort to plan thoroughly and communicate clearly. Unfortunately, Jennifer's negativity turned this into an unnecessarily stressful experience. Leading up to the wedding, Jennifer consistently expressed doubts about our timeline and criticized my plans in ways that felt discouraging. During our pre-wedding call, I provided a well-organized list of requested shots--simple family photos and individual shots with my bridesmaids. Despite my reassurances that we were a straightforward group, she insisted we wouldn't have time, remarking that "we're only as quick as the slowest link." She also commented that attending cocktail hour would be "unrealistic" due to my photo requests, despite my flexibility about missing it if necessary. Despite repeated assurances that my bridal party was prompt and prepared, she continued to doubt our plans, even discussing with my wedding planner how "unrealistic" my expectations were. Instead of being helpful, her approach added unnecessary stress, making me feel that she was setting us up to fail rather than offering solutions. Jennifer also fixated on Newport traffic, frequently reminding us how "horrible" it would be on the Fourth of July. This only added unnecessary stress over an aspect I had no control over. On the day itself, traffic was smooth, and she arrived nearly an hour early. However, instead of making use of the extra time calmly, she immediately started questioning whether everything was ready and seemed irritated that the flowers weren't set up--all despite her arriving ahead of schedule. Her negative energy was noticeable, creating tension for my bridal party, to the point that my matron of honor had to pull her aside and ask her to be more positive. Ironically, everything Jennifer had stressed about went smoothly. We finished hair and makeup early, had plenty of time to capture all the requested photos, and wrapped up over an hour ahead of schedule. She even acknowledged, "I typically don't believe most brides when they say they're organized, but I was wrong." While somewhat gratifying, this did little to erase the anxiety and tension she had created leading up to the wedding. After the ceremony, we even made it to cocktail hour--another point she had doubted. In hindsight, I deeply regret how much stress her pessimism added to what should have been a joyful experience. After the wedding, Jennifer's dismissive attitude continued. Upon receiving the photos, I was heartbroken to find that she hadn't captured the individual photos with my mother that I had requested and emphasized as being very important. Instead, there were plenty of individual shots with other family members, but only two with my mother. As a bride managing countless details, I trusted that my photographer would prioritize the key shots I had specified. When I reached out to ask if additional photos were available or edits could be made, Jennifer was unapologetic, blaming the sunlight and putting responsibility back on us. When I asked if any retouching was possible, her response was curt and unhelpful. If I could change one thing about my wedding, it would be choosing a photographer who could bring positivity, professionalism, and flexibility. Jennifer added more stress than any vendor should. If you want someone who will enhance your wedding day and make it feel special, I recommend looking elsewhere.

I met Nancy over 10 years ago when she was photographing my sister in law's wedding. She did such a…read morefantastic job from start to finish that I knew without question when I got married 2 years later that she had to be my photographer. She did an absolutely incredible job! She made everyone (including myself) completely at ease while she worked her magic. My main objective was to have a photographer that could capture the true essence of my wedding...she did that and more, from the posed pictures to the candids - every one was better than the next and truly represented how much fun we all had. Nancy is more than just a photographer, through the experience she became a friend who I now continue to take my 3 kids to for their yearly portraits. My favorites are still the candids, she has an unbelievably unique way of capturing each of their very different personalities through the lens.

We had a wonderful experience working with you and the girls already have their "next" sessions planned (those being family beach sessions, college grad sessions, wedding sessions, future grandchild sessions - LOL). You were extremely creative, suggestions were great for unique poses and backgrounds, you put the girls at ease by guiding them through the process. Also, the nice, quick pace was exciting (we weren't rushed, but we weren't stagnant and "posey") and we ended up with so many options that we really felt that we had more than enough to choose from, and all of them interesting and different than the last. You were obviously excited, too and really seemed to enjoy yourself - in other words, your passion showed and I knew without seeing any of the photos that they were going to be great - fun and natural. When we did get the proofs, they were amazing! Not one in the bunch was bad, and there were a lot! And the colors were amazing - you really have an eye for bringing that out in a picture, even before retouching! Regarding the creativity of the session/photos, you are definitely not a "cookie cutter" photographer. You posed each of my daughters uniquely and captured their spirit. You tried things and didn't seem to have a canned routine - no stiff poses that you see all the time. You are very artistic and spirited, and balance that well with your professionalism - that's a great combo! We went to place an order for prints, and then the next great thing was the a'la carte print options. I could put together my own "package" and get exactly what I needed, unlike other photogs that have preset packages (many of which I have had to purchase additional prints to get what I needed but still have tons of extras I didn't need hanging around). You also passed on the 50% off special that your print company was extending to you that month - who does that? You could have very easily not said a word about it and made a nice, tidy 50% extra profit without anyone knowing. That to me speaks volumes about your integrity and honesty as a professional. I trust that everything you offer as a service will be exactly as you say it will be. I have never had a problem reaching you at any point via phone, just thought I'd put that out there... We will see you soon for a family portrait and I have passed your name along to many people that are in need of a great photographer, including some grandmas that have a few first grandchildren in the making. And my daughter has received many inquiries from Bridgewater students. I'm hoping that they are all smart enough to make their way to you.

I had to get a professional headshot for my company's website and Maura came highly recommended by…read more3 different people (my hair stylist and 2 different makeup artists). She does a great job with the photographs but also making clients feel comfortable knowing that it is not a natural thing for those of us who are generally uncomfortable with our picture being taken. Her rates are VERY reasonable. She does a combination of oufits/jewelry, hair in front/to the side, indoors/outdoors. I haven't received the finished product yet but even the proofs came out nice! Tips I learned from getting my photograph taken: yes to getting my hair done and makeup professionally done. If you have long hair, wear some photos of your hair framing your face and keep it simple with the clothing - solid color and textures don't always translate. Also, keep jackets buttoned up as they can gape in an unflattering manner if you are a female with a chest. These tips have nothing to do with Maura's skill at taking photographs (she is, indeed, very skilled) but more to do with you doing your part to ensure a good end result. She is renowned for her editing abilities so I can't wait to get the final photographs but the unedited ones were really good and I am as unphotogenic as they come. If I ever need to take a professional photograph in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to contact Maura. She was very pleasant to work with and talented at her craft. Her rates were very reasonable ($225 for over an hr photo shoot and 5 edited photogpraphs)!
