We booked with EXO for our wedding and could not have been happier - from the moment we booked with them they were professional and so easy to work with and communicate with. Our photographers were Josh and Nicole and they were absolutely incredible. We also had a content creator who was great!! They all captured every important moment and had an amazing energy throughout the entire day and night. They kept us on track and faded into the background when needed and got all the shots we wanted. Definitely book with them!!! read more

Once you find EXO, there's no need shop around for another photographer/videographer. Josh traveled from Long Island to Queens for our engagement shoot, and to Brooklyn for our wedding. During our engagement shoot, Josh worked with us to make sure our dog was in some of the pictures! Josh and Nicole were so professional and accommodating . They made us feel comfortable on our wedding day and kept everything on schedule. We had huge families for the family photos, and Josh was incredible at making sure he got the best shots. They used the venue so well and incorporated it into our getting ready photos as well as the detail photos of our rings and the invitation. Everywhere you looked at the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, there was a member of the EXO team. It was an incredible feeling to know that they were always around to capture candid moments and dancing. I would highly recommend using EXO for your wedding. They are truly gifted at what they do! read more

I am thrilled with my choice to book EXO for photography and videography. Their team is professional, experienced, and passionate about what they do. While their portfolio speaks for itself, the part I will speak to is my experience as a bride. On the day, they arrived early, introduced themselves to me and the wedding party, kept the day going on time, triple checked the shot list to make sure we got every single shot we wanted, and were a positive team to have there all day. They were communicative and professional before and after the wedding. They send detailed forms for you to fill out about your timeline, wedding party, desired style, etc. After the photos and videos were sent to me, they were great about making requested edits. For me, it's not just about a nice portfolio; during the planning process, I valued a responsive, experienced and professional team on the backend, and EXO delivered on that and then some. It's worth specifically noting that their video is mind-blowing; better than any videos I've seen anywhere. After your wedding, you're going to want the best photos and video, and I recommend EXO 100%. It's been 6 months since my wedding, and only now do I realize that photography/videography is your most important vendor. After your wedding, the photos and video are all that's left. Your footage will be what you keep looking back on and show your family/friends for years and generations to come. read more

My husband and I are thrilled that we ended up working with EXO. Getting married in the middle of a pandemic was extremely stressful, and they truly made working with them so easy for us during this time. They entire team was kind, courteous, and a lot of fun. Everyone in my bridal party and immediate family felt comfortable with them. The photos came out beautiful, and while I can't speak on the quality of the video yet, I can guarantee it will be flawless. They quickly worked through the list of shots that were important to me and added in others that I didn't even consider but am so happy they were captured. I am looking forward to working with them again for other big life moments, and would recommend them to anyone who is looking to professionally capture their big day! Thank you so SO much EXO team! read more

We didn't receive our full file yet of the images but based on our sneak peak we couldnt be more happy with what we received so far!!! We highly recommend EXO photography and will definitely recommend and use them again in the future! read more

Nicole + Josh are everything you want in a photographer + videographer. and more. They go above and beyond to make sure they capture every moment of your big day. We first met them during our engagement shoot and they were so easy to work with. All the planning leading up to the day was so easy, thanks to them! From postponing our wedding and changing up the plan on where we were getting married, Nicole worked with us and made the process so seamless. They are so organized and go over every single detail that you might not even think of. After the wedding, I was on cloud 9 reliving the memories of it all and couldn't wait for our pictures. Nicole + Josh are incredible with their timeline, they get your pictures and video back as soon as they can and when they say they will, which I really appreciate as wedding season I am sure is insane right now after the world being shut down for a year. 10/10, highly recommend them. It was such a pleasure to have met you both and your team - we cannot wait to work with you again in the future! Thank you all so much for capturing our wedding day - Jenna + Alex read more

Josh, Ashley, Jaypee, and ASI we're amazing. They made us so comfortable and took all of the shots we wanted. 2 days later we just received our sneak peeks already and we're obsessed! They truly captured the day perfectly. read more

Where to start with EXO?! We had our engagement photos and wedding photos and videos done through EXO and they are more beautiful than I ever imagined they could be! I want to review both our wedding experience and our engagement photo experience because both were amazing! Engagement Photos: We did our engagement photos in Dumbo, Brooklyn. It was a blustery December day, but Nicole and Josh made sure we got every photo and didn't rush us through anything! They made both my husband and I (who can be awkward to take pics) feel perfectly comfortable and gave great direction to make sure the photos came out as beautiful as we could have ever imagined! The photos came out STUNNING! We used them for our save the dates and got so many compliments on the photos and people asking who our photographer was! Wedding Photos and Video: Our wedding day team consisted of Jason, Pieter, Nicole, and Josh! Nicole and Josh work so flawlessly together, that you know you're getting the best photos and videos. The morning of the wedding, they were on time and READY to go! I'm not the most organized person, and they managed to get every shot and made sure we stayed on schedule the entire morning! (Which was one my biggest fears and stressors, I hate being late!) All day they checked in with us to make sure that we got every shot we wanted and asked if we wanted any others. The communication was flawless! During the ceremony they were perfectly placed that I didn't even know they were there and they got such beautiful video and photos. After the ceremony we took pictures at our reception outside and they shots all over the venue! They were so flexible, that even towards the middle of the wedding, Nicole realized we would mostly likely need more time. Nicole let me know the timing and offered to extend if we wanted. She also offered an option to get the rest of the stuff done that we wanted on photo and video before the timing ran out, so she gave us ways where we didn't have to spend any more as well. We happily took her up on the offer to extend and her managing the timing took any stress away! (Seriously, I had no stress on my wedding day, and that was because of Nicole, Josh and their team as well as the team at the Harbor Club!) The team stayed without question and were so kind about it! We got the drone footage as well, and it added so much to our videos and photos! If you can add the drone, DO IT! After our wedding we received our trailer and photos SO FAST! We were so excited to relive our wedding day thanks to EXO. I was nervous to see everything because like I said earlier, my husband and I can be awkward, but they are just the most beautiful photos and videos I've ever seen! We got our full video and we just want to watch it over and over again! My entire family (who can sometimes be a bit hard to please lol) couldn't stop raving about our photos and videos! I honestly will never be able to stop gushing about EXO and anytime someone I know gets engaged, I always share my experience with them and how they would be making a huge mistake if they didn't go with EXO! If you are a couple looking for photos and video of your wedding day that will stand out amongst the rest, you cannot go wrong with EXO! Thank you to Nicole, Josh, Pieter and Jason for the greatest day of our lives that we get to relive whenever we want to because of all of you! You are the best! read more

Booking EXO Photography for our wedding was an easy decision for me based upon the extensive research I had done, the great value they offer, and how kind the owners Josh and Nicole are. I went into the decision without hesitation and was excited to work with them knowing they would do a great job. What I didn't know was that they would exceed my every expectation!! We had our engagement shoot a few weeks ago and the photos are more beautiful than what I'd ever imagined!! We are beyond happy with what Josh and Nicole have done for us and can't wait for them to shoot our wedding in February!! read more

I would love to give Josh & Nicole 10 stars!! When COVID rocked our wedding plans, my fiance and I decided to reassess what we wanted to do for our wedding and Nicole and Josh were there every step of the way to photograph our other life events aside from our wedding. Two pregnancy shoots, newborn photos, Christmas photos and our small ceremony. It felt like they really knew every moment we wanted to capture and made it happen! I cannot recommend Nicole and Josh enough, they are friendly, professional and creatively supportive! Do yourselves a favor and book them now! read more

We are soooooo thrilled with EXO! From the day we booked with them, the company is very professional and responsive to any questions we had along the way. We received teasers pictures and they came out AMAZINGG!!! We can not wait to see all our photos and the video. The day of our wedding the staff was so kind, friendly, patient, and knew what they were doing...Danny was an amazing photographer, very funny and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!!! read more

Loved them. They shot my sisters wedding and it was so amazing. I was in the wedding party and they took great pictures without "getting in the way" without sounding mean. The video turned out perfectly and they really took the time to get every detail. They took amazing photos that we can look back on for years to come. read more

Had an amazing experience with EXO for my small wedding out in Montauk. Planning with them was low stress, Joel (our photographer) was so kind, fun, and really put as at ease. And from the teaser photos, everything came out beautifully! read more

Best money spent on my wedding. Let's start off by saying how professional josh and his crew were from our initial meeting at his gorgeous studio to phone calls and planing before our wedding to delivery of products we purchased in our package. Our photos are nothing short of amazing and all our family and friends can not stop bragging about them. We hired two photographers plus ordered a beautiful acrylic/leather album for us and both our parents. We couldn't be happier with the results and already started bragging about them to all my newly engaged friends. read more

Exo did an amazing job with our wedding!! I absolutely love our photos, teaser trailer and full video. Everyone - from the front desk staff to our photographer and videographer - was professional, attentive and a pleasure to spend time with on our big day! They were timely with communication ahead of the wedding and the photo assistant was incredibly organized on the day of! She even printed out the photos I sent as examples of what I liked so we could recreate them! I would recommend Exo to any bride!! read more

No guidance, he just snaps thousands of shots and then uses the mediocre ones, rather than looking into the lens and finding a good shot. They don't take criticism well, they rather send a novel of justifications on why they are right. Their cinematography is ok, in our 8 hour wedding they were barely able to shoot 20 minutes of good video via apples IMOVIE. The only thing we liked in the video was the teaser in the beginning. The photographer (Phil) was a very nice guy and engaging, the owner Josh is a nice guy and gave us a nice gift at the end, but as far as quality goes we really wish we went elsewhere. UPDATE** After watching our wedding video, we have add; there was no consideration onto what we wanted. He randomly picked people at the wedding to focus on, rather than asking us which guest we want some focus on. My best man had a cameo appearance, my wife's childhood friend was not even in the video, but the random lady who served us food got a lot of video time and so did the random wife of a guest who is family (three times removed). read more

EXO was hands down one of the best vendors we worked with for our wedding in July 2021. They came into my hotel bridal suite and knew exactly what to do and got right to work capturing all the important parts of our day. Throughout the day their energy was incredible! They both blended in when needed but we're also in some ways like an addition to our wedding guests! They were well-dressed, fun and professional. so far we have only gotten back our teasers but we are counting down the days until we get the rest of our photos and our video because we just know they will knock it out of the park. Trusting our photographer made our wedding day so smooth! Thank you EXO! So happy we chose you to capture our day and share the memories with you :) read more

BOOK EXO if you want gorgeous professional pictures and a cinematic trailer that looks like it's straight out of a movie!! Not to mention the fast reaponses and extra touches that make it all worth it... thanks so much Josh and Nicole and also my wedding crew that were so amazing on our big day: Rob, Jon, Joe and Carlos! read more

Thank you Nicole and Josh for going above and beyond to capture every moment of our wedding! You're both so easy to work with, organized, patient and kind. Thank you for making sure we had food in between portraits so we could capture that perfect sunset! We couldn't have found a better team and look forward to working together to capture more milestones in the future. You're true professionals, and did an incredible job, to the point where our guests were raving about you and asked how we found you! It was even more special to have a beautiful & loving married couple be a part of our wedding day! Thank you both so much, we are so excited to see the rest of the pictures and the video! read more

We absolutely loved working with Nicole & Josh! EXO was the first and only photographer that we looked at during our wedding planning process and we fell in love with their work instantly! At our engagement shoot we got to work with both Nicole & Josh and they were both friendly and made us feel so comfortable during our shoot. On our wedding day we got to work with Nicole and her team and she planned the day out perfectly and were able to fit all of the shots we wanted in without any stress. The quality of their work is amazing and you can really tell that they have a passion for the work they do. The photos/video and perfect and we will cherish them forever. We look forward to working with Nicole & Josh in the future! read more

I'm a cinematographer that shoots weddings as well and I have met many photographers over the course of my career. With that being said, there was no question in my mind who my wife and I were going to use for our own wedding. Obviously, the most important thing is the quality of the finished product. However, all the small details along the way were what I found most pleasant. Josh and Nicole are awesome to work with and are extremely considerate when it comes to all the aspects of a wedding. They cover everything thoroughly and make sure that both their team and the couple are well-prepared for the big day. There is simply no one else I recommend for wedding photography besides EXO. read more

Joel was our photographer and we have nothing but great things to say about him. We were looking for a photographer that can capture the day in a candid way, less posey and intrusive. He really outdid himself and left us, our family and friends speechless. Our photos are stunning and couldn't be happier! Also thank you to Ashley for helping me move with my big dress and making sure it looks amazing in every photo..you were a sweetheart! read more

The couple has no photography background. They did not study photography. They lack editing skills and do not have a creative eye. They hire kids to do the editing for them and then they fire them without paying them properly. Go get your photos by people who love their job not by people who try to make a living posing as photographers just for money. And, you end up with photos you could have taken better with your point and shoot camera. read more

Absolutely horrible. So sad our wedding pictures were not beautifully captured. One would think he worked for the wedding hall- since half the pictures were of the food. Terrible quality photographs. No lightning. Family members captured better photos with a point and shoot camera. Do not waste your money and use someone who's professional. Can't express how terrible the pictures were and how sad it made us. Spending money for this type of product. read more

My husband and I hired EXO for our June 2015 wedding. I can honestly not say enough great things about them! The day of our wedding they were able to get wedding preparation shots before the ceremony which was awesome as me and my husband were obviously at differences houses while getting ready. During the ceremony and reception, EXO was able to get all the shots we requested and shots that we didn't even know we wanted, ALL of which were beautiful! Nicole and Josh also made sure we got gorgeous sunset shots which came out phenomenal. I would (and have) recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing, reliable, efficient, and competent photographer. They really helped us to remember our special day! We now have a five month old baby and are using EXO as our family photographer as well! Thank you for everything EXO!! xo read more

First off I have seen some terrible photography/videography skills from other vendors that my friends used. Crap quality cameras and no attention to detail. I felt like I was doomed for failure until I came here. Everyone is amazing my entire crew nailed it. I wish I remembered everyone's names to give them credit but you guys were great. Thanks to Josh and Nicole for having an amazing crew and guiding me, my photographer (Jason) and my videographer (some kind of unique name that's amazing but my little brain can't remember). You were fantastic and perfectionists (love). Kate (coordinator) you got me and knew exactly what I meant when I didn't even know what I meant. If you don't hear it enough thank you again for all you do to make people's day perfect. read more

I'm the type of person who is usually OCD when it comes to things like this, especially on one of the most important occasions of your life! That is why I was compelled to write this review. Exo not only provided us with beautiful pictures on our wedding day, they also were incredibly pleasant to work with. I highly recommend to anyone. Don't look elsewhere! read more

Excellent team of professionals... Our video came out unbelievable. We took two cinematographers for the full day and they worked their behinds off taking some awesome shots. Most important for myself and my wife was to have someone non obtrusive that can capture the event in a modern approach, not old school boring videography and that's exactly what they did. We received our bluray DVDs about 5 weeks after our wedding which we couldn't appreciate more. I have friends still waiting from last year for their wedding movie! If you want to invest in something good, then take only these pros. read more

Nicole and Josh at EXO were the first photographers we met with. We met with many others afterwards, but ultimately came back to EXO because their work could not be beat. Throughout our whole wedding process, they were always available through email or over the phone to go over details like our day of timeline and who we needed photos with. They were extremely organized and very comfortable to be around during our engagement shoot, getting ready pictures, first look, ceremony, and reception. Now that we have received the photos back, they are fantastic as expected. We had a crew of six- two photographers, two cinematographers, and two assistants. Everyone was just wonderful and we are so impressed with their work. read more

I cannot say enough good things about EXO Photography + Cinema. If you're looking for natural, beautifully shot, candid photos, look no further. Our first experience with Nicole and Josh was at our engagement shoot at the Vanderbilt Museum. The two of them work so well together and are so detail-oriented. They make you feel comfortable in front of the camera and provide great direction. Our engagement photos were stunning - I showed them a few inspiration pictures during the shoot and they executed the shots perfectly. We kept in contact frequently leading up to our wedding in June 2020 due to COVID-19. We ultimately ended up postponing to 2021 but still decided to hold a small ceremony on our original wedding date. Nicole and Josh were so accommodating through the postponement process and we were so lucky that they were available for our new date in 2021. They also were able to shoot our small ceremony in June 2020. After our church ceremony we took photos outside at the Harbor Club at Prime. My husband and I always wanted to take photos in the cellar at Prime Restaurant so they were able to pull some strings and get us in there. We were the first bride and groom since the pandemic to take photos at the restaurant so the staff and customers were so excited to see us. The cheering that took over the restaurant is something that I will never forget. It was truly such a special moment. We received our photos less than a week later and I couldn't be happier with them! They are everything I envisioned and more. The EXO team is incredibly professional and the final product they deliver is unmatched. The passion they have for their job really comes through in their work. I highly recommend booking with them! read more

In deciding on a photographer before our wedding, we wanted to support a young artistic couple in their business and were impressed with the photos and videos they showed us in their office. However, the final product from our wedding was nothing like what was presented to us that day. I should have known from the engagement session that it wasn't a good match when I described my idea of "industrial New York City" themed photos to Josh, and almost all of our photos were focused on New Jersey in the background! On the wedding day itself, they left the very second their hours were up, passing my husband and I taking photos in our photo booth on their way out without so much as asking if we wanted any additional photos taken before they left. To us, going the extra mile, like thinking outside of the box and offering a photo of us in the photo booth on their way out, or even taking a minute to check in with us, would have meant a lot. It took over three months to get a link to our unedited online photos. All of the work seemed sloppy, unprofessional, generic, and lacked creativity or thought. Also, there were NO photos of our dog, the ring bearer in a tuxedo. If a dog is important enough to a couple to put in the ceremony- it's important enough to have a photo of! Nor were there photos of my husband's immediate family at the reception. I should add that we also used EXO's videography, and were equally, if not more disappointed in the video. We had a traditional Jewish ceremony and the videographer missed the breaking of the glass- a staple in Jewish ceremonies. They included all the speeches- about 20 minutes worth- in the edited 35 minute video. The audio quality was so poor you couldn't hear anything that was said, and the remaining 15 minutes hardly captured the rest of the day. In the end I had to put more work into arranging the album and video than they did. Then I was floored when we were asked to pay the $5 for shipping the DVDs after all the money we spent. Josh and Nicole are nice people, but if you want a professional photographer, look elsewhere. read more

We had Nicole as our photographer and she was amazing!! We have a huge family and I expected it to be hectic but they ran things very smoothly. We received our photos and all our family went crazy over them. Thanks a million! Will def be using you for future events read more

Above The Rest My husband and I were recently married on August 3rd, 2014 and chose EXO Photography and Videography for our wedding. The standard of excellence that EXO Photography and Videography has is truly remarkable. After searching for several months and meeting with different photographers, we knew that EXO was the one. We met with ADA Studios, Jeffery Studios, Patken Photographer, etc...to name a few and none of them were as quality driven and had as cost effective photography and videography packages as EXO. Josh and his team which include his second photographer and wife Nicole as well as his videographer Rob made us feel extremely comfortable and treated us like family. They were always available to meet with us at any time before the big day and answered any questions that we had. Josh, Nicole and Rob are true professionals that are passionate about the work they do and wanted to see us happy from start to finish. On the day of the wedding everyone at EXO showed up on time and eager to start capturing those memorable moments. As they entered my home they introduced themselves with a smile to each family member as well as my hairstylist/makeup artist and made everyone feel right at ease. Throughout the entire day they were ready to snap those candid shots and those preplanned shots that we asked for on our detailed form that we were given to fill out before the big day so that Josh and his team would know the shots with family members and friends that we had to capture on the day of. They didn't miss a single one that we asked for. Our videographer Rob was right there with us capturing those moments as well, while Josh and Nicole were taking photos Rob was filming and planning our next video clip that would make our video unique and stand out from every other wedding video out there. After the reception was over at around five o' clock in the evening my husband and I wanted to take photos at Long Beach since that's where we got engaged. Josh and Nicole followed our limo in their car to the Long Beach boardwalk and we proceeded to take photos on the boardwalk and on the beach. After a long day that started at eight o' clock in the morning Josh and Nicole were still full of energy and kept on taking photos till we left the beach at a little past nine o'clock at night. Josh and Nicole even drove us all the way back to the La Quinta hotel where we were staying in Garden City after the beach photo shoot. My husband and I decided that we wanted to take more photos at the Old Westbury Gardens where we had our wedding ceremony a few days later. Josh and his team arrived promptly as scheduled again and eager to take our photos. They continued to wow us with their artistic skills in photography and attention to detail. Josh and Nicole constantly checked each photo that was taken with their cameras and when needed advised us how to pose to get that optimal photo. We were even able to see several shots that were taken and they were absolutely stunning! We are extremely happy that we chose EXO Photography and Videography for our wedding and we know that anyone who chooses them will be extremely happy as well. Your wedding day is one of the most important days in your life and it's your photographer and videographer that capture those memories that you can look back on and cherish forever. Therefore, it's very important to choose the right one and my husband and I strongly believe that EXO Photography and Videography would be the right choice for anyone that wants quality photos and video with true professionals that are passionate about what they do and want to see their bride and groom happy at all times. read more

Josh and the EXO team are amazing. We absolutely loved our photos and couldn't ask for a better team. Highly recommended!

Thank you EXO photography for capturing the best day of our life, and making our memories last a lifetime!!! We went to several photographers before booking with EXO, and we are so glad we did! As soon as we walked into their studio, we were impressed. Their studio is beautiful, and everyone there is so kind and helpful. We used them for our photography and videography. As I said, we went to many other studios and it was very apparent that the quality of their work, exceeded all the others. The entire experience of working with them was amazing! They are extremely professional, flexible, and responsive. We even had to change our wedding date and they were so accommodating. We ended up getting married during a snow storm, and they managed to capture the most amazing shots in spite of the weather. Everything they did for us, from our engagement photos to capturing our wedding day came out phenomenal! All of our family and friends commented on what an amazing job they did when they saw the wedding trailer. Besides their amazing work, the best part of working with them is their personalities. They were all so caring, helpful and warm. I am so happy we chose them to capture the most important day of our life and that they were part of it! I would highly recommend them to anyone in needed of a photographer/videographer, and we will definitely be using them again in the future!!! Thank you EXO!!!! read more

My husband and I browsed many Long Island photographer websites and were WOWed by Nicole & Josh's photos. We set up an appointment and from the minute we met with Nicole we knew we wanted to work with them. Not only were they great to work with, but they listened to us and focused on exactly the types of photos we wanted (we love candids!). I have gotten so many compliments on our photos and cannot wait to display them in our home. Thank you for helping us relive the fabulous day we had!!! read more

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the hardest decisions to make out of the entire wedding planning process! My biggest fear was to work so hard, plan so long and have none of those magic moments captured. When I met with Nicole in her beautiful studio and she explained her process, asked me questions and made it feel like a truly intimate experience, I knew I had found my wedding day photographers. Our engagement shoot was beautiful. Her and her husband were willing to walk as far as we wanted and make sure we had not only a great experience, but got amazing shots. Before the big day I met with Nicole again with trend boards of "can't miss shots." She patiently listened, understood and BOY DID SHE DELIVER! The night before my wedding, she text me, telling me she was so excited! SO WAS I! On the day of she was on top of everything. Keeping track of time, shots and guiding me through the most amazing day of my life. It is so easy to forget what you want (being so caught up in the feelings and emotions of that day) and her team was there, guiding me, capturing EVERY detail, listening to what I wanted and truly exceeding expectations. I am so grateful for all of my amazing photos and can't believe they were able to capture as much as they did! The only issue I have, is having to choose for my album! THANK YOU EXO! You have helped memorialize our wedding day and we are so grateful! Love, Daina & Justin 05.20.2017! read more
