We just received our photos from our wedding on 3/21 and all we could say is WOW. My wife and I…read morewere just in awe of how amazing the photos looked, especially the portraits which looked like a work of art. We were assigned Reena and Roderick as our main photographer and videographer, and Ben and Tuck as the secondary photographer and videographer. They gave such clear direction to ensure the photos came out the way we wanted. All 4 of them were respectful, professional and very accommodating. We had an extensive list of photo combinations we wanted with the bridal party, our parents, wedding sponsors, and extended family and the Dean Michaels team managed to capture every single moment. I'd ask Reena last minute if we could take pictures at different locations and she would be so accommodating and the photos came out perfect. We are so glad we went with Dean Michaels. It's always tough picking through hundreds of wedding photo companies but my wife and I really liked the style of Dean Michaels which provided a good mix of dramatic and traditional photos without being too over the top. We highly recommend Dean Michaels if you're undecided who to go with for your wedding or any other events!

We feel so fortunate that Hanel and his team were part of our wedding day…read more Professionally, Hanel goes above and beyond. Communications leading up to our wedding were timely and very helpful. We were one of those couples that didn't have a ton of direction but Hanel always seemed to be one step ahead. His team showed up impeccably dressed (straight out of Vogue!) and seamlessly blended in, capturing moments for almost 8 hours. Creatively, Hanel has an eye for weddings that is few and far between. He is constantly ideating and thinking of different poses, and does a great job not only executing but making those participating feel comfortable. We were blown away by the final product, which was an album consisting of both candid and staged moments that perfectly captured our wedding. Looking back, hiring Hanel was one of the best decisions we made going into our wedding. We cannot recommend him enough - he is beyond talented and would not be surprised if he starts to book up seasons in advance. Thank you Hanel and team!

Hanel came highly recommended to us by our friends who had gotten married and chose him as their…read morephotographer, and we are so glad that we got to meet him at that wedding! He was so kind and approachable at the very first meeting that we had zero reservations in choosing him even though we didn't know too many details about his style of photography or what it would be like to work with him. Turns out his style is both inventive and artistic, and and he is extremely easy to work with (we got so lucky!) At our engagement session, he went out of his way to get shots that were absolutely gorgeous. One particular shot of us on a bridge involved him walking out very far away and still try to give us directions so we look our best in the photos. To get to all the locations we had in mind, an unanticipated cab ride was involved. Even then, Hanel took that opportunity to capture some of our favorite shots. He really goes above and beyond in every way. For couples who are not comfortable in front of the camera - do not worry! Hanel will talk you through all the shots and he does not actually pose you, so everything looks natural and beautiful. My husband learned how to pose for photos ever since. On our wedding day, Hanel and his staff were punctual and so pleasant to work with. Looking back at our wedding photos, he did not miss a single significant moment and in fact captured a lot that we had missed. Our photos came out looking authentic and so very beautiful. Some of the ones at sunset are jaw-dropping gorgeous - our friends and family keep telling us unprompted months after the wedding (and I really do think it's the photographs that they love and not just us). Once again, Hanel and his staff went above and beyond - he even took photos while standing precariously on a moving golf cart (again, one of our favorites that's getting framed!). One of the staff who works at the venue said he had seen over 500 weddings and never once did a photographer do that. He was so patient in giving our huge wedding party directions, and took the time to learn everyone's name. All of the bridesmaids and groomsmen were so amazed by his incredible work ethic. At another later wedding, one of the groomsmen remarked to me that "yeah that photographer was not even close to Hanel". It's not a competition, but it does speak a lot to Hanel's professionalism and how great it is to work with him. On top of all this, he is so kind in his demeanor and so patient in answering all of our questions. He is overall just a very good person and the entire experience was a pleasure. He is the best and we can't wait to have him take our family portraits in the future.

I received a referral from my husbands bff for Terri Baskin, who then referred Joshua since my bff (the bride) was super short on time (like needed engagement photos in 24-48 hours) and she was unavailable. Little did I know that popular photographers such as Joshua and Terri are booked solid for weeks and months at a time. After speaking to Josh over the phone during three separate convos, he understood the vision my friend was going for AND made time for her to shoot even though he had numerous appointments. I convinced the bride that this was the guy and she shouldn't look for any one else. I've included ONE picture from the shoot, only one and it's so breathtaking, so captivating, and expresses/embodies everything that love should convey through a photo. Absolutely stunning!!!

I was introduced to Sean by my coordinator at Ravel Hotel and was so pleased to have met him and selected him as our photographer. Sean was extremely responsive, helpful with his pricing packages and even jumped on a quick call with us to help answer questions. The day of our wedding, Sean & his team were timely and they were dressed so sharp! After finally meeting Sean in person, you quickly realize that he and his team are just truly genuine folks. Sean had previously shot at Ravel Hotel so he had some really great ideas of pictures and he continually made me, my husband and entire family so comfortable all day long. I would highly recommend booking two photographers so one can be with your significant other to capture photos of them getting ready, hanging out and different angles when walking down the aisle. We are beyond thrilled to have worked with Sean and would recommend him again and again. Thank you Sean & Team for capturing our day - We appreciate you and the passion for your work!

Amazing night and hopefully we'll get to work together again!

Tom was super understanding as we needed accommodations for the kids and the elderly. At the last minute, Tom let us choose a new location so that the grandparents would feel more comfortable and was great with the kids.

On top of his photography skills, he is also a turtle rescuer! A turtle had wandered away from the pond and got too close to the restaurant and he helped guide it back safely to the pond.

Prior to signing the contract with him he went over all of our difference package options and was so flexible to meet our needs. His portfolio was breathtaking and the albums he offers are amazing. Unlike most vendors, after you sign your contract he is still 100% easy to get in touch with. His responsiveness is top notch. If we had any questions along the way he was always right there with an answer. We never worried about a thing. The day of the wedding he really worked his magic! He doesn't just focus on the people and the event, he also gets the details. The little things that you might miss throughout your day...he gets them! He is like a shadow throughout the day. He's getting everything but you barely see him! I don't know how he does it! He approaches everything with a unique eye which makes for truly amazing photos. There are moments, and looks, that he captured that I know I will love looking back on years from now. Photos that I will be so happy to show my children and grandchildren! We were so fortunate to work with him for our wedding and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking. He was great from beginning to end. His packages can't be beat and his work is wonderful. You would be crazy to pass him up!

There is no one we would have trusted more to capture our wedding memories than Forever…read morePhotography. Having followed their instagram page for years, their photos were total inspiration and the "couple goals" that I always envisioned. Fast forward to last year, my now-husband proposed and I reached out to Forever Photography that very same day. So when I say they have been there for us since day 1, I mean it! I have always believed that photos would be the most important piece of the wedding day because everyone always told me it goes by so fast - and it's true. Having an authentic and natural photography style was a big priority for us when planning our wedding and that is exactly what Forever Photography delivers. Upon contacting them to share the news of our engagement, Jessica was prompt to respond and so excited to be part of our journey. Once we landed on our venue and date, Jessica walked us through the package options based on what worked best for the flow of our day. We are so glad that we reached out early because now having been involved in planning several weddings since then, I've learned that photographers book up very quickly. All of Forever Photography's wedding packages come with a complimentary engagement session which is such a value. To preface, my husband and I had never been the subjects of a photo shoot working 1:1 with a photographer so we were a little nervous about what to do and how to pose beforehand. Jessica has a fun and creative personality so she provided us with helpful direction throughout our session while making us feel totally relaxed. My husband who doesn't love to take pictures even said that he felt so comfortable in front of the camera! I really wish I could write 2 reviews because the engagement photos deserve a review of their own. We received so many compliments, even some going as far to say that they were the best engagement photos they'd ever seen. These photos were used for our wedding website, save the dates and décor items like a canvas for an easel and photo frames that we used for the bridal shower and wedding. Beyond the decorative aspect, the engagement session helped us to get comfortable in front of the camera... no one wants awkward wedding photos! As we hit the wedding year and the event finally started to come together, Jessica was so instrumental in my timeline planning and willingly gave me direction where needed to ensure all of the details we were choosing were cohesive with our theme. If you are someone who thrives on and needs communication, this is the team for you. I shared with Jess everything from the hotel rooms we would be getting ready in, to the color and style of the pajamas for my bridal party, to the smallest accents like our ring dish. Jessica even went out of her way to bring me a velvet engagement ring box the day of the wedding because she found one that matched perfectly with our color scheme for our details photos. This just goes to show how much she cares and goes above and beyond for her clients. Our wedding day arrived and the forecast was calling for rain so I was a very antsy Bride. I wanted to make sure we had a smooth morning getting ready at the hotel so we could get to the venue for our outdoor photos before the weather took a turn. Not only did Jessica manage to get all of the photos on our shot list but got us promptly to the venue in enough time for my husband and I to have our intimate "first look" on the docks with the waterfront backdrop we always dreamed of. Through every part of our day Jessica and her team did not miss one detail or special moment. Forever Photography truly captured the essence of the love and emotions felt between my husband and I, and the people we love the most which truly shines through our photos. I will never forget how in awe we were receiving our wedding preview photos and our full gallery, because they made our day look better than what you see on Pinterest. We can never thank them enough for capturing our I Do's, every tear drop, laugh and dance move on the best day of our lives.

After going down the rabbit hole of looking at dozens of similar wedding photographers, I stumbled…read moreon forever photography. In the sea of bright and overexposed wedding photos, there was something that stood out. The photos I saw had this retro style, had wonderful contrast and I found there was always warmth in their subjects. There is actual depth to their portraits and these ladies are able to capture the nuances of every emotion that occurs on your special day. Take a look at their IG/Yelp review photos and you'll see that they look like Renaissance portraits set in the streets of Brooklyn. When my husband and I met up with Jessica, she made us both feel at ease, as we've never had our photos taken professionally together before. The tips she gave us made us feel more comfortable and made the photographs turn out phenomenal! I love each and everyone of our photos from our engagement/wedding, but my favorites are definitely the candid ones. If you're looking to stay on a budget for your wedding, take my advice and do not skimp on the photographer. Thirty years from now, when you are looking back at your wedding photos, I HIGHLY doubt you're going to regret the money you spent on your priceless wedding photos. My mom has literally blown up our engagement photos into large canvases to put around her home and I have no doubt she'll do the same with our wedding photos. Honestly, any time I will have an event in the future, be it baby shower, graduation, whatever, I will definitely be using forever photography.
