Working with Julian and Evgenia has been an absolute pleasure! They both so easily accommodated us during several date changes with COVID and never made us feel like a hassle. They are beautiful, positive people who made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Our wedding day was incredibly long and Julian and Evgenia captured every aspect of it. Our photos came out absolutely stunning and we are so happy to have found them. We highly recommend Julian and Evgenia if you want a professional team capturing gorgeous candid images and a painless wedding day! Thank you again Julian and Evgenia- we had the best experience with you both!! read more

Working with Julian was a dream! Planning a wedding during a pandemic was easily one of the hardest things we had ever done, and Julian did everything to make the process as painless as possible. He was flexible and understanding, and super easy to work/communicate with - always professional and efficient. We initially chose him for our big day because his style was unique and very organic, so of course we couldn't wait to get our pictures back after everything was done. Our pictures arrived rather speedily and truly exceeded our expectations! Our wedding was on a Sunday in November which made catching daylight a bit of a challenge, but he somehow did it and blew us away! From the special candids he captured all throughout the day to the romantic outdoor evening moments, every image was truly breathtaking and we couldn't stop flipping through them for the weeks to come! Couldn't recommend him more! Not to mention, Evgenia did our engagement shoot and those were perfect! She knew how to take two stiff adults on a hot day and give us such lovely, playful, romantic pictures! read more

Julian and his wife are the perfect duo for your wedding day! They were able to capture every beautiful and subtle moment that my husband and I will never forget. They are beyond professional, very kind and so patient. Not much more to be said when we received the the most beautiful and intimate wedding album. Highly recommend!!! read more

We were extremely happy with Julian and Evgenia's photos, and would strongly recommend anyone considering them to go for it. We had a very long wedding day, and Julian and Evgenia were there with us the entire time. They took so many photos that we really felt like our entire day was well documented, and their presence was very laid-back so taking photos with them felt very natural. Their edited photos were really fantastic - they look dramatic, intense, and artistic. We were excited to share them with our family and friends, and we were so happy with how they turned out. We looked at the portfolios of a number of photographers online that shot at our venue before deciding to go with Julian and Evgenia, and we were initially worried about our photos at our venue because a number of other photographers' photos of the venue that we saw online looked dark, but Julian and Evgenia's photos at our wedding looked incredible. Julian and Evgenia were extremely professional. When we signed up, Julian worked with us to come up with a detailed timeline for the entire wedding day. They showed up on time (bright and early), and they also were very accommodating to our various requests, which really helped us weather some oversights on our end that inevitably happen when planning a wedding (e.g., they were leaving for the evening but stopped to help us take some photos with some guests who hadn't had a chance to take a photo with us yet, we forgot to bring a copy of our wedding invitation and so they had us mail a copy to them so they could photograph it, etc.), and we felt like they really went the extra mile to ensure that we were happy with how everything turned out. read more

Julian & Evgenia shot my wedding on Feb 25, and I cannot recommend them enough! My sister and her friends also worked with them and had such amazing things to say, so it was a no brainer when we were choosing a photographer. My husband and I typically hate taking photos and can never agree on one we like, so we were nervous about hating all of our wedding photos. Julian & Evgenia both not only made us feel incredibly comfortable, but they captured the most gorgeous special photos and completely exceeded all expectations we had!! I cannot recommend them enough, and I look forward to having a reason to work with them again in the future! read more

Julian was our wedding photographer in 2016. We enjoyed the experience and the photos. Fast forward 6 years later I thought my photo thumb drive as damaged and lost all my photos. Julian responded within 24 hours and helped me with a link to download all my photos. That is professionalism. Very impressed and trust the team. read more

Julian and Evgenia are such a pleasure to work with! From the very start, I knew I was in the best hands ever. They were beyond responsive, professional, kind, caring, comfortable to be around, and TALENTED. I am blown away at how they are able to capture moments, unlike any other photographer I've ever seen! I seriously feel like I have a play-by-play of my entire wedding (and given we had a traditional Jewish modern Orthodox wedding, there was a TON of rituals and traditions to capture, so it's even more so impressive). On top of that, they have such an eye for editing photography -- super unique, emotional, and timeless. We couldn't have had a better experience and will cherish our pictures forever. Thank you Julian and Evgenia! read more

One word describes our experience with Julian Ribinik Photographers "Fabulous". Our wedding was intimate and private, as a second wedding and it being us two, we decided last minute that it would take place in Central Park, New York City . I being one that takes pictures of everything!! (Creating memories with my camera), it was important to me that professional photos be taken on our special day. This way we would have beautiful memories to share with our family and friends back home. Needless to say, we made the right choice. From the first contact via email, Julian took the time to explain the process, paired us with "Falcon" our photographer who from the moment you meet, you feel a sense of kindness and calmness. The morning of my wedding it was 36 degrees, I was worried I was going to look stiff and rigid! NO WAY! Our pictures came out beautiful! The natural poses and scenic choices she made for us was incredible. Julian took the time to call us on our wedding day that for me really showed he cares about his clients, big or small. HIGHLY Recommend! 5 STARS!! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Julian and Evgenia from Julian Ribinik Photography. They are amazing and everything you want from wedding photographers. I had initially seen their photos from when they photographed my friend's wedding, and I knew I had to hire them. They photographed my wedding at The Garden City Hotel on Long Island. Leading up to the wedding they were responsive, accessible and very easy to work with. On the day of the wedding, they were professional, attentive and a such pleasure to have so intimately involved in our day. They seamlessly captured every amazing detail of the day without being intrusive. The photos are absolutely stunning and blew me away. I would hire them a million times over again! read more

I am one of those weird people who usually hates how I look in photographs. When it came to look for a wedding photographer, I must have spent 10 hours pouring over websites for NY & CT photographers. One theme was constant when I came across Julian Ribinik's photography: everyone looked good in the photos, and the shots were incredibly naturally posed. Fast forward to two weeks ago when I finally had my engagement photo shoot. Julian's wife, Evegenia did the shoot, and it couldn't have gone better. She basically told us to just be ourselves and act natural, and she'd be in the background clicking away. When she sent us a few preview shots, I felt like I hit the jackpot. The photos were flawless. I'm so excited to use them as my wedding photographer. read more

We recently used Julian Ribinik for our wedding photography, and to put it simply, we couldn't have been more impressed. Julian himself is a a professional and personable guy, and we felt very comfortable with him. They (Julian and with his second shooter, Peter) arrived at our event plenty early to take some getting ready and family portrait shots. Throughout our wedding day Julian was able to capture stunning shots of us getting ready, of our ceremony, and of our party - they even managed to captured some of the details we hadn't thought about during the day because we were so busy, and looking back at them is so much fun. He was even able to direct our family members into all of the family shots we wanted - including certain difficult family members. Communication with Julian before and after the wedding was always pleasant. He was able to take our personal requests into account, and after the wedding the pictures were ready very quickly. And he was able to recommend (an equally great) videographer for us as well. Even before our honeymoon was over, Julian was able to send us a couple of very quick highlights to post on our Facebook pages - to help make our relatives who couldn't attend jealous. And it wasn't much later before he sent us the rest of the pictures. The photos all came out absolutely wonderfully, beyond our expectations. Now we'll always remember how beautiful of a day it was. Hopefully your event won't overlap with our next major family function, because we'll be working with him again. =) We couldn't be happier with our choice in Julian Ribinik photography, and highly recommend him read more

We were absolutely thrilled with the beautiful photography of our wedding. My husband is a professional photographer and I used to model wedding gowns, so naturally we had very high expectations. Julian and Evgenia went above and beyond what we expected. Their photography was stunning and creative. Julian and Evgenia were professional and worked as a fine-tuned team, yet made you feel relaxed when they were taking photos. We really enjoyed working with them and felt like they were family. So many of our friends and family have commented on how beautiful the photos are. We now have beautiful photographs of our magical day, thanks to Julian and Evgenia! We cannot say enough about how wonderful Julian and Evgenia are to work with as well as how fabulous their work is. If you want the best, this is the team you want! read more

Julian Ribinik Studios - On top of the world at Byington Vineyard - Session Photography Near Me

JR Events is the sole vendor that we completely REGRET using for our wedding. Photos from our friends and family's phones came out better than our "professional" photos by Julian and Evgenia. Some of the issues we had with our photos were as follows: * Only a couple (literally) face forward photos of the two of us, due to this we only have one framed picture of our wedding and one of our eyes are closed in it * Backgrounds were all white, which was unfortunate as it was a beautiful fall day at a venue with views of the east river * Reflections, objects in the middle of photos, off-centered photos and exposure issues that resulted in important photos being ruined * Visible awkwardness in the photos, as we were not guided properly with regards to hand positions, facial expressions and stances * Important family shots were missed, which were listed out to them prior to the day and there were no shots of our guests at dinner We reached out to Julian to express our disappointment and request all of the unedited photos in attempt to find some shots that may have been better in our opinion. However, we had already received all the shots which were minimal and did not include several clicks to avoid issues discussed above such as eyes being closed or flashes in the backgrounds. Their unhelpful response was that our wedding was one of their favorites and that the photos represented their style accurately. I'll give it to them for being honest in their response, as they looked to have fun on their Instagram story the night of our wedding which showed off their photography style of kissing each other outside on the venue terrace instead of taking photos inside of our wedding. I've looked at their reviews several times, in contemplating to write something or not, and beware the bad reviews seem to disappear. Do yourselves a favor and look elsewhere for your wedding photos. read more

Julian is the best! We couldn't have found a better wedding photographer. My wife and I were blown away by the photos. Besides the obvious quality, creativity, and attention to detail, the thing that surprised me the most was how he captured every single moment! We were so surprised when we saw the photos how he and the other photographer seemed to be everywhere and captured every special moment throughout the whole day - and yet we really didn't even notice them! Another thing that surprised me was his creativity. During the cocktail hour we wanted to break away for a bit and take a few photos on the street in front of the Flatiron building. Those were some of the most amazing and creative shots taken. Besides beautiful and impromptu street photos, park photos, and of course the photos in front of the Flatiron, Julian even stopped a NYC tour bus, got us on it, and took some great photos of us with cheering tourists looking on! The whole experience was so much fun. And that's another thing about hiring a wedding photographer - to actually get along with them and have fun together the day of the event! Our wedding day turned out perfect, and it was definitely one of the happiest days of my life. And it feels so good to be able to re-live each moment by looking back on the photos. My wife and I planned most of the wedding by ourselves (from the decoration to the entertainment) and we were so relieved that one thing we never had to worry about was the photography. Even before we saw the pictures, I knew they were going to turn out perfect. And that peace of mind went a long way. It can seem like somewhat of a gamble on how your wedding photographs will turn out, but with Julian there's no second guessing it. Just take a look at his work - it speaks for itself. In terms of value and quality, the competition has nothing on him. To me, he could easily charge twice the amount he currently does and it would definitely be worth it! read more

I literally cannot say enough about Julian and Evgenia. Julian and Evgenia are an absolute pleasure to work with. These two are such a great team, and I felt they were more our partners as opposed to just another wedding vendor. Prompt response, honest engagement and a seamless wedding day made this partnership a very pleasant experience. ... and of course the photos. We love love love our photos. Ali and I are not naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Evgenia's documentary style photography really made us feel at ease and it shows in the pictures. We cannot thank them enough for our photos! read more

We loved Julian Ribinik Photography so much!!! He (and his wife) were amazing! They were consistent, thorough, insightful, friendly, helpful, encouraging, stress free, easy to work with, happy, pleasant and delightful! Seriously, I could keep gushing! Okay, so aside from all of their wonderful personal qualities the quality of their work is far superior to any other photographer we considered and his price is so reasonable for what you are getting! Words cannot express my gratitude to them! They turned the groom, a skeptic, into a true believer that excellent photography really is one of the most important things to have at your wedding. Please don't settle, book Julian and you will not be disappointed!! Honestly, I loved all of my vendors, but I have to say there is a special love for Julian Ribinik Photography! L-O-V-E!! read more

We were extremely happy to work with Julian Ribinik Photography and staff. They exceeded our expectations from their professionalism, quality of the work, artistry and style are unmatched. We researched long and hard to select our photographer and with 100% confidence we can say that we chose the right one. Vilmary and John read more

I don't consider myself photogenic and was very worried about picking a wedding photographer. I did not want highly photoshopped pictures and wanted our wedding pictures to portray the emotion of the day and to be able to relive the day through our pics. I was also aware that we would be spending a lot of time with our wedding photographers, I've had a few bad experiences as a bridesmaid, so I was extremely picky and the personality of the wedding photographer was very important to me!! When we met, Julian we knew right away that he was the right photographer for us. Julian was never pushy or unprofessional allowing his incredibly beautiful work to speak for itself. Both before we booked him for our wedding as well as for over a year leading up to our wedding Julian and Evgeniya responded to every single email, question and request in a timely manner as well as extremely professional and honest one. On the day of the wedding Julian and Evgeniya were so fun to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We felt as though throughout the day they became an extension of our wedding party. When we saw a few previews of our pictures a few days later, I was literally speechless that our wedding pictures came out so gorgeous. We also received all the pics within a few weeks. I absolutely cannot wait to have Julian and Evgeniya photograph us In the future. I truly feel that we found photographers for life and cannot recommend them enough. They are so incredibly hard working and talented and we are so lucky that we chose them for our big day!! read more

I can honestly say that the only people that are happier than us with our wedding pictures are our parents :) All our pictures came out beautiful and if we were able to give them 6 stars we would. Julian and Evgenia were extremely professional, easy to work with and we received our pictures within a month of the wedding. I would highly recommend Julian and Evegenia for your next event. read more

I loved working with Evgenia. Both Julian and Evgenia are so sweet, responsive, and accommodating - from day 1. They are "yes" people and take all of your requests seriously and to heart. They are easy going and made me less stressed throughout the day -- Evgenia is a calming influence and I was grateful to have her by my side on my wedding day! She captured our day and our love beautifully in a very organic way. She was never intrusive but after I received the photos I was so happy all the moments she captured -- I frequently thought to myself, "How did she get that shot?!" She is a wonderful photographer with a great eye for capturing unique photos! read more

Julian shot my wedding in October and was absolutely incredible! He was so warm, and kind at our first meeting. He listened to everything we wanted and made helpful suggestions. He helped us figure out how to get everything done we wanted, and did it beautifully! We had a large wedding party, but couldn't afford to have multiple photographers, but he made it work and didn't miss a thing! The photos came out beautifully and captured the day in its entirety. During the ceremony we asked that he stay in the back and not move around a lot, or be up at the front, since the ceremony was very sacred to us and our families. He didn't fight us on that and did exactly as we asked with no complaints. We could not be more happy with our choice to use Julian! I would recommend him to everyone. read more

Julian is a fantastic photographer and we couldn't be happier with our choice. I would describe Julian's style as photojournalistic, dramatic, unique, powerful, modern and artistic. Both his shooting and editing techniques are top-notch! Julian was wonderful to work with. He was very prompt to respond to any questions we had, and always encouraged us to reach out. On the day of the wedding, Julian and his second shooter were extremely warm, friendly, professional, and easy to work with. Their process for the whole day is solid: Julian steers between candid shots and more formal portraits; he has amazing 'signature' looks, but is also a calm and confident improviser. The final images that we received were amazing. Their ability to capture powerful, candid moments in such a stylized way is incredible. Julian delivered his favorite, edited shots within the timing promised; we then chose the remaining shots we wanted to be edited. Those remaining shots took an additional couple months to be edited, but were worth the wait. Overall, we can't recommend Julian and his team highly enough. He's an inspirational photographer and a trusted pro. read more

Julian and his team are hands down the best of the best; his style is so natural and creative that he will capture your day like a storybook. He is incredibly professional, yet chill which made him and his team super easy to work with. He is truly an expert in his field and gave us so much advice, even pointed us in the direction of other vendors we needed which were all fantastic. My husband and I are a bit camera shy/awkward but Julian is all about capturing your natural selves in whatever environment you choose; we were so surprised that it didn't feel like we were posing at a cheesy function. He helped us feel very relaxed and most importantly we had a ton of fun with him. He and his team are worth every penny, this is an investment that you will cherish forever! They were early and had everything flowing throughout the night which was so impressive because there is just so much to capture on the big day; they would pop out of nowhere to get the perfect moments and do it with an ninja-like ease. They are incredibly efficient and thoughtful, and remember everyone and thing we wanted to capture plus some! It would be a mistake to wait too long to book with this vendor, they are widely recognized as one of the best, so act fast and be confident that you are making the best decision that you could make. read more

Of all things that had to do with our wedding, having Julian as our photographer for our wedding was by far the best choice! We could not be happier with our decision because our photos look as though they came straight from a magazine!!! From engagement shoot to wedding photos, they are all unreal! It especially makes us proud of our decision when every single person who sees the photos is just as amazed as we were! And brides to be that see our photos beg for Julians contact information. Aside from their talented work he and his partner are an absolute pleasure! I am huge on customer service and they know exactly how to treat their customers! We cannot thank them enough for their beautiful work and their time! They are wonderful people and they know exactly what they are doing. And thanks to them we now can relive our wedding day through beautiful photos that we want to share with the world! read more

Julian was great, very communicative, and delivered wonderful pictures and albums. Prior to selecting Julian, he provided all of the details including everything there is to know about pricing and services and set up a meeting to discuss expectations. He is very technically proficient and has great equipment. I asked him to stay away from certain techniques, such as using a tilt-shift lens or post-processing to produce a similar effect, and to act more like a fly on the wall than an "up in everybody's business" photographer for the party pictures. He was very accommodating and I got exactly the pictures I wanted. We ended up working with Julian to produce 3 different albums (one for my wife and I, and one each for each set of our parents) and they are all wonderful. read more

Julian and Evgenia were absolutely amazing to work with from start to finish. I fell in love with their work when I saw the pictures they took at my brother's wedding and saw how easy they were to work with that day. They responded so quickly to all of my questions and made my husband and I (two very camera-awkward people) feel really comfortable in front of the camera. It was also important to us that our photographer was not very obviously taking our pictures/ blocking our guests' views during the ceremony. I don't know how they accomplished this and were able to get the pictures that they did, but they 100% pulled it off. They're also the kind of people you want to stay friends with after the day is over...genuinely beautiful people who love what they do. I cannot say enough good things about working with them and our pictures are more than I could've hoped for. I can't stop looking at them! You will be so happy with your decision to work with these two! read more

I honestly have not one complaint about Julian. I couldn't be any happier with the service and the product. The biggest complaint I hear from brides is that they are never able to enjoy their day; With Julian, that was not the case. I didn't even notice he and Evgenia were there! I didn't have to pose every second for a picture nor worry if he was taking any. I was able to enjoy my day without being bothered by anyone and my pictures came out amazing! He really is such an amazing person. If you don't use him, I don't know what to tell you. Oh, and best of all, I literally got my pictures in a month. Honestly, every other photographer I have dealt with for events gave me my pictures 3-6 months later. (Some even a year later) Julian Ribinik Photography is #1 in my book. If you do book him, you won't regret it. read more

We were SO happy that we decided to use Julian Ribinik as our wedding photographer!! Julian and Evgenia were such a pleasure to work with! From Day 1, they always immediately answered all of our emails, phone calls, texts and addressed all of my questions and concerns. Their customer service is absolutely fantastic!!!! Our engagement pictures came out absolutely gorgeous!! Evgenia was so patient with us even though we had to reschedule our shoot several times due to the rain. We were so happy with the final product!!! The pictures were beautiful and so creative! Our wedding day could not have been more perfect! Evgenia was there on time, and she absolutely captured every moment perfectly! She was professional, calm, and helped soothe my wedding day jitters! We are so grateful to Julian Ribinik photography for capturing this special day and helping us make memories that will last a lifetime! Julian and Evgenia are truly the best wedding photographers out there!! Beautiful work, creative and professional!! Simply the best!! We would recommend them to everyone without hesitation!!! read more

Choosing vendors for a wedding can be a difficult and stressful process. Reason being, you are concerned with the quality of the product, how vendors will interact with family and friends during the day, customer service and responsiveness to any questions and concerns. We picked Julian and Evgenia as our photography studio for our wedding because they put us at ease with all these concerns, besides the fact they do absolutely stunning work. Initially, Julian's work blew us away viewing his pictures online, but meeting him and his wife in person is what set them apart from other photography studios. There was a personal connection with them; they are great people that were in the process of planning their own wedding. They understood all of the intricacies and stresses that we were going through. They were awesome with responding right away to any questions we had via emails, texts and phone calls. This was important because we were planning a wedding out of state, Julian kept us at ease. The day of the wedding, Julian took charge to capture certain pictures, but most of the time he let the day flow capturing amazing photos that represent how awesome our special day was. His photojournalistic style provided us with the most emotional, stunning, hilarious keepsakes we could ever imagine! We are so thankful and lucky to have picked the perfect photographer for our perfect day. -Nikki and Chris - read more

i want to start off by saying that I'm heavy into photography myself, so finding a good photographer was on my priority list! Let me tell you, I hit jackpot with Julian and his beautiful wife Evgenia. From the moment we met and went over all the details they made me feel very comfortable. They have tremendous experience in wedding photography and they deal with any kind of situation very professionally and with joy! Both were there to capture every moment of our wedding without being intrusive. They are funny, upbeat and had a great attitude. They put us at ease when we were stressed and made us smile and laugh. All that is very important since you'll be spending a whole day with them! I was pleasantly surprised to get the pictures in such timely manner, just as they promised, because I know how much work actually goes into post processing . It seems that they worked day in and day out to deliver us the pictures. Now on to the actual photos. One word- STUNNING! They look like they belong on a cover of a bridal magazine ! Everyone comments on how gorgeous our pictures are and I recommend these guys to everyone I know and I will keep recommending them. Both Julian and Evgenia are incredibly talented, they don't just take pretty portraits, they capture emotions and feelings. Every time I look at the photos I relive my wedding day. I just love these guys! Can't thank them enough! Highly highly recommend them! read more

Where do we begin? We knew choosing the right photographer was on the top of our list when we were planning our wedding. Not only did we want gorgeous photos, most importantly, we wanted to find someone that made us feel comfortable. After speaking with countless photographers, we knew from the first time we spoke with Julian that we wanted to have him capture our wedding day! His calmness, laid back nature and ease made the decision easy to make. He took the time to explain his style and listened to our needs. Throughout the whole planning process, Julian was always quick to respond (even before we solidified him as our wedding photographer) and was genuinely happy to help. He never made us feel that we were a bother (even after e-mailing several times a day) which in my opinion is very important. When we thought things couldn't get any better, we were graced with the presence of Julian AND his wife Evgenia on our wedding day. It was such a special surprise. Evgenia has a wonderful presence and they are truly the perfect pair. We are so grateful to have met them and so pleased that they captured the most amazing memories from our wedding day. Our photos are truly breathtaking. The best part about it was that we barely noticed they were there. We also loved how they posted sneak peeks of the photos right away while we were on our honeymoon. They really worked hard to show us our photos quickly and it was much appreciated because we were so anxious to see them. Both are truly talented photographers that are genuinely invested in making their couples happy. Trust me when I say that they are the type of people you want to have around you on your wedding day. Don't hesitate on choosing Julian or Evgenia as your wedding photographer! I promise it will be the best decision you make! read more
