We were in a time crunch,…read moreand Sam was responded to our inquiry same day with a quote, and was able to book us as soon as the next week. That same afternoon after the photoshoot, he sent us "raw" photos, which to me, looked edited- SO GOOD! I was not disappointed with any photo. He is worth flying out to any state to take photos- WORTH IT! I am so lucky we found Sam, and I am 100% confident in partnering with him for future photos. He has a confidence and humbleness to him, which made him a pleasure to work with. He has a wide range of photography skills, from headshots to operations, to B Roll. He has an artistic approach to capturing the true essence from our first creative meeting. Thank you Sam! You rock!!!!

Disclaimer: Jeani Catalano Grady, the photographer and business owner, is my step-cousin on my…read moremom's side. That said, Catalano Studio is the only place that I'd ever consider using for professional photography. Jeani is the sweetest person on earth, and her photographs are beautiful works of art. They're worth every penny (and she's not cheap). Jeani's studio used to be on Robbins Ave. in Northeast Philly, but she finally was doing so well with her business that she bought a single Victorian home on Bristol Pike, near the St. Katherine Drexel compound, and restored it. She now uses it as her studio, and it is filled with period furniture. The building is gorgeous, and the decor and furniture is amazing. Jeani did my Communion portraits when I was a little girl, and her pictures made me look like a beautiful little china doll. When I graduated from college, I had her do some more portraits of me, both in my cap and gown, but also in a really pretty dress in her beautiful butterfly garden out back. The only bad thing was that I got eaten alive by mosquitoes in her back yard b/c it was a summer evening, and I had on a dress and bare feet, and I am mosquitoes' favorite snack no matter where I go. But the pictures turned out beautifully. My mom also had her restore the photos of my grandparents' wedding, and they turned out really, really well. Someday, if I get married, I only want Jeani to do the wedding photos. She's amazing. *I can't post any of her photos online b/c they are copyrighted, but go to her website, and you can see some of her work.

Iris Click is my go to for all my events and photography needs. I've previously used them for my…read morematernity shoot and have amazing memorable pictures for years to come. For my maternity shoot they arrived early and set up ready for my arrival. They were instructive and helpful in getting my angles. From that shoot I was provided with many, many, photos with outfit changes. They are very professional, pleasant, and anticipated all my photo needs. I have an upcoming bookings with them for my daughter's birthday shoot and our family holiday shoot. I can't wait!

Nicole is a fantastic photographer! My family has been using her for the last 3 years to do a…read morefamily vacation photo shoot and each year the pictures get better and better! She's an LBI local who's very familiar with the best spots to capture photographs. She's super personable and easy to get along with, which makes for a relaxing photo session. Our family photo shoots involve 6 adults and 3 kids and she captures everyone along with smaller groups (like grandparents with the grandkids or individual families). She is patient and understanding and knows how crazy it can be when kids get tired or rambunctious. She can do multiple locations for photo shoots - just recently we did the beach for some pics and then headed to Sunset Park to use as another location. In years past we used the lighthouse. I would highly recommend Nicole to capture any family memories, whether it's a wedding or, if you're like us, on vacation and want to get professional photos to capture everyone. Kids grow up quick and we're so grateful to have these beautiful keepsakes to look back on!

Nicole was beyond helpful throughout the process, was easily accessible for questions, patient, and super organized (which is HUGE)! From the first time we sat with Nicole, I knew that she was an addition we wanted for our special day. Nicole basically serves as a day-of-coordinator with the detailed timeline she puts together for the day (sorry I deviated from it sometimes LOL). Nicole has the best personality and the ability to get a group to focus so pictures can be completed efficiently! Our parents and bridal party loved her and her second shooter, Mel. Nicole was also open to suggestions throughout the day if I felt like I wanted a specific photo in the moment. We received SO MANY photos back with our full album, each one better than the next, making it so difficult to choose a photo for our canvas and pick our album! Thank you Nicole for making what can be a stressful process so seamless with your knowledge, poise, and flexibility. I would hands down choose you again if I could to be apart of our special day. Nicole truly loves what she does and it shows in her work. Look no further, she is your girl!

Lindsay kept my husband and I relaxed throughout the day and totally at ease. Lindsay was attentive making sure all needs were met and that candid moments and group shots were captured.

When we were planning our wedding, I knew that photography was important, but I had no idea that…read morethe photographer was just as important as the images they would create. You will probably spend more time with this person than any other vendor, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to get to know Lindsay. She was able to capture our experience of the wedding, as well as, all the wonderful moments we missed. We now have all the beautiful photos of the ceremony, formals and first dance, but also a priceless record of all of our friends and family who attended. She was able to do this because not only could she magically "disappear" when needed (she must have teleported around the ceremony), but is also very intuitive and can capture people's personalities. She was able to capture ours because we were incredibly comfortable around her. We got a vendor crush during the engagement session and liked her more and more. Lindsay is also great because she takes the photos that you want. She doesn't push you to take photos that are posed and cheesy, but knows better than you might (or I did) that some of the photos you don't think are important she will secretly snap. What more can I say? This woman is amazing.

She made us feel completely comfortable, and it shows in every photo. Her work is absolutely stunning. She captured every emotion, every detail, and all the little in-between moments with such artistry and heart. We're in love with our photos. April went above and beyond--she even stepped in to speak with our venue organizer when we were having trouble getting a response. That's just the kind of person she is: thoughtful, proactive, and completely invested in making sure your day is perfect. We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a better person to share our day with. We'll cherish both the memories and the photos forever. Thank you April! Maria & Seth

Choosing a photographer for a wedding is a big decision because your photos will be long-lasting…read moremementos of the day, and also because there are a lot of variables (style, quality, personality, price, etc.). We loved the photos we saw on JPG's website and their commitment to customers was clear from our very first conversation with Joe. We worked together to come up with a price/package that met our needs and chose Matt Bender as our primary photographer. Our engagement session gave us a chance to get to know Matt and for him to know us. When the big day came, we felt very comfortable with him and he (along with 2 other photographers) did a great job managing our family and bridal party for group shots. Many guests commented that our photographers were awesome throughout the evening. This skill should not be overlooked when you are evaluating a wedding photographer! In the end, we were thrilled with the quality and variety of pictures. The photo journalistic style captured the true essence of the day and there were a lot of really fun shots. To top it off, all of JPG's wedding packages include a DVD or thumb drive of high-res images with personal use rights - which means you have full flexibility when it comes to albums and prints. Bottom line: JPG brought the style, quality, and personality we were looking for at a competitive price. They were easy to work with from start to finish and we could not have been happier with the results.

Caveat emptor...buyer beware…read more We really have no idea how these guys get the ratings they do. We are crushed by the disappointment in their service. We not only cannot recommend JPG, we would strongly caution against using them. In spite of planning together with the photographer and being clear about our intentions not to photograph the prep, we had to wait for them to set up after we were long ready. The 14 weeks from event to actual pictures were astonishing. Even more so after getting them and seeing just how little thought and effort went into their editing and "organization". Also - be prepared to be referred to your contract repeatedly. They will hold it up anytime you ask for something.
