We all gathered at a restaurant for lunch and invited her on us, drinks included. We began taking pictures. There was no sense of direction by the photographer, she seemed lost and unorganized. My sister and her husband decided to take pictures on the Brooklyn Bridge and surrounding areas. As far as payment goes, 50% deposit was placed at the time of booking and paid in full when she showed up for the wedding, which I greatly regret. I constantly had to text message Pdot for the images which she always had an excuse as to why my pictures weren't ready. I asked on a couple of occasions for simply my money back, and when I did she would email me a handful of pictures at a time. The pictures that she actually forward me were low-quality, very shiny, and just a disappointment. She is not professional and I honestly regret booking her for such a special occasion.

This updated review is ONLY in response to the comment from the Doves (unsure why they did not send…read moreme a direct message). Please see previous review for actual review of the quality of the photos and service received. I do not feel my review is misleading, as I am honest with all my reviews However, perhaps I am blunt, but I tell it as it is without fluff. First off, I am aware of the wonderful photos in their portfolio based on reviews from yelp, their website and wedding wire. That is the reason why reached out to Dove Photography for a price quote. Yes, they were one of the cheaper ones, based on the quality of their photos, but honestly, why wouldn't you look to see what bids you can get before deciding on vendor? As a business owner, Scott should have asked what type of event it was and what type of shots I wanted before offering a price. Yes, it does sound extravagant when he says it was a wedding reception, but honesty, I only hired him during cocktail hour for 1 hour. In regards to timeline and saying I mislead him. Here is the timeline: 11/20/17-I reached out to get a quote for my event on 12/30/31 and received a quick response that same day from Scott saying he had availability with a price and asked for more details on what type of event I was having and types of shots I wanted. 11/21/17-I told him I would like to book him for the event and provided this info: "We'd like some family photos and candid photos during the cocktail hour." I felt at this point it was very clear there would be poised photos of people and not just candid shots. Note that no contract was signed yet. 12/5/17-Scott sent us the contract. Delay was due to the thanksgiving holidays and he was on vacation, which were aware of since he gave us a heads up early on that he would not be available for a week, which I was ok with. My husband had a question about the contract and Scott did answer us promptly. Nowhere on the contract did it say no poised photos and only candid photos. 12/24/17- My husband and I were proactive and sent Scott a list of group photos, detail shots and candid shots I wanted. As you can see, Scott had a few opportunities to ask for a higher price for the session if it was not what he expected, and I would have been fine with it, but he did not. As for arrival time, I am a stickler for people arriving on time. I am 100% sure they were not on time, as I was waiting around for a while and checking my phone every few minutes at our agreed upon time. My husband was upstairs paying our venue at the time. Perhaps they did arrive 5 mins before the scheduled time, but were in the parking lot unloading gear. I had just assumed the full hour we paid for were for photos and not set up time. In regards to the angle of the photos, I had a wall available for our group to stand in front of, that I actually had the restaurant clear tables for us. However, the Doves suggested they take it with a view of the restaurant for better depth. Which I agreed to, because they are the professionals and do this for a living. Plus, Scott had disclosed in previous emails that he was familiar with our venue as well. However, not only myself, but most of my guests agreed the photos were unflattering angles of everyone. This is just giving an honest review of my thoughts on the photos along with my guests' thoughts that they had shared with me when they viewed the photos. Overall, I thought I was pretty honest and clear with my review and generous with my 4 stars. My recommendation to the Doves and future customers is maybe clearer communication in the beginning so both parties would know what to expect in order to get the great photos that are on the Dove Photography website.

We found Dove Photography through Yelp, when searching for a photographer for a small post-wedding…read moredinner near my hometown this past December. Dove was reasonably priced (we only needed them for one hour) and local, so we booked. Scott and his wife were punctual and arrived sharply dressed and ready to work on the day of our event. They had actually photographed at the venue before, so they had a rough idea of where we should pose. They used the list of photos we wanted taken and were very good at remembering people's names and lining up everyone. The photos came out very high-res (the ones of the cake looked really good, and I liked the ones with my family), and were delivered via e-mail right on schedule (Scott advised they'd be ready end of week, they arrived late Thursday). My only small comment is that I wish they could have taken some of the shots at a higher angle; my wife and I were just a tad bit let down that we looked a little unflattering in some of the shots (I should have asked to check the first few pictures to make sure they were not too close up or low). Oh well--the quality, timeliness, and professionalism of this company overrules my small comment. Book with confidence! If I do another event in NJ, I'd use them again.

While some might know her as a home photographer, I explored her works in the natural light/outside and was impressed by how well Ksenia handles the natural light settings. Ksenia was a pure pleasure to work with from the very moment I reached out to her to the final stage, where we had to choose our favorite photos. We did not have a specific plan, so I asked Ksenia for a place suggestion, and she proposed two places: both really interesting and cool. She took care to explore the places and their light settings at different times of day before our photoshoot, as she knew that I wanted a perfect natural light. Ksenia showed a lot of flexibility during the photoshoot, proposing and suggesting some scenes and moves, as well as incorporating my husband's and mine suggestions. The whole experience felt natural and easy. Kseniya is professional, courteous, accommodating, and most importantly, she has a true talent that empowers her to capture wonderful moments and turn them into beautiful pictures! I would love her to photograph my kids at some point. We are definitely coming back!

Overall we were disappointed with the photographers setup for our theme as well as the quality of family photos. The photographer graciously offered to reshoot our photos, then cancelled our reshoots twice, never got back to us, did not respond to inquiries for almost two weeks and then offered us a reshoot... in the spring. I understand that people get busy with holiday photos but since our photos (and payment) were taken back in the summer, our reshoot should have taken priority. I wish this photographer would have valued our business.

What we love about her pictures are how natural the edits turn out. They capture the true essence of the moment with very natural colors. She was so good at making sure we appear comfortable and genuine--which was quite a challenge for my camera-shy wife. She made it so easy, and we had such a good time shooting with her. She even had the perfect locations and backdrops despite the fact that we had her shoot in multiple states for us! And she even worked overnight to fit tight time restraints during the wedding craze. She's great at making sure it's a painless process with the perfect results. Even though we now live in different states, we still look for opportunities to reconnect for photo shoots when she is in town because we were so impressed. 100% recommendation. We will be using her again!

Sarah was recommended to my husband and I by a mutual friend. As a first time bride with limited…read moreexperience working with a professional photographer and a lot of anxiety about being photographed, I can honestly say Sarah was an absolute dream to work with and more than compensated for my complete incompetence ("where do I put my hands?!") to create beautiful photographic memories for us and our families. Our wedding took place outside of NY (she travels!), but in the months leading up to the ceremony Sarah set up several calls, emails and a video chat with me and my husband to get to know us and what we valued most in terms of capturing the day. From the start, communication was very easy and I felt like she offered sound advice while also honoring our wishes. Sarah offers several tiers of service - we opted to have her add a second photographer - and that was money well spent since we had multiple venues throughout the day that needed coverage. Sarah clearly loves what she does and that was apparent throughout the process. On our wedding day she and her 2nd photographer were friendly yet professional, I honestly didn't notice them at all during the entire ceremony and they got some great natural shots without blocking anyone or distracting from the proceedings, which I know can be a challenge. Sarah was gracious and kept a good sense of humor throughout, which was much appreciated - especially when a hail and wind storm broke out in the middle of our couples shoot on top of a mountain pass :) She made it work and the photos still looked stunning. The following day, she sent us a preview gallery of about 20 shots, with the full gallery available in about six weeks. Purchasing prints from her website is also very easy. In sum, I definitely recommend hiring Sarah - I couldn't be happier with her service as well as the quality of the photographs.
