Me and my husband hired Redbank studio for our wedding back in April and we could not be more happy with the results. From the beginning they were easy to communicate and very understanding to our requests. For the wedding they prioritized our request and make sure that we got a chance to enjoy the cocktail hour. For our photos and videos they deliver them quite quick and we are very happy with the results. I will definitely recommend them to any bride that wants to make sure they enjoy their wedding day and have great photos and videos of it read more

I cannot say enough good things about RedBank Studios. We had originally hired them for our 2020 wedding and reception (which got postponed twice due to COVID). They were so understanding and honored both of our postponed dates. The photographer and videographer who we had were super friendly, professional, and prompt. To seal the deal, communication with them was EXCELLENT (responses within minutes). I would highly recommend them. read more

Do not rely on Red Bank Studio for any of your important events. Unreliable, disorganized, unable to provide for the dates they state are available. They discovered that they were unavailable for our wedding after a month's notice and an in person meeting. Consulted Red Bank Studio in April about our August wedding and were informed by Elena Rusu, the Event Coordinator, that they were open for our big day. An in person meeting was scheduled for 1 month later, end of May. We drove an hour to their office and spoke with Elena, not one of the active photographers, and spent an hour going over hour by hour scheduling, setup, preferences, and details. She seemed unfamiliar with the packages offered by the company on the brochure, but not a big deal. By the end of the session we offered to make the down payment, and she told us that only one of their six active photographers may be available, and that photographer had not been notified of our date...despite our notice a month prior. The next day we received an email stating: "...We did not assign any jobs for her until now, and she indirectly thought she will be off for the date. She made plans to be out of town!... Best Regards, Elena Rusu Photographer & Event Coordinator" Red Bank Photography was too poorly managed to even know the availability of their one remaining (out of six total) photographers, a month after being informed that we wanted to book them for our wedding, a month after stating they could do it. They were too inconsiderate to even check if we should come to their office and waste the Saturday of our Memorial Day weekend, meeting at their convenience, before realizing after the fact that the date they said was available was lost to their poor communication. A simple text to the photographer, or a text to us could have saved all the hassle. No attempt was made by Elena to work out alternative options. Now we are 2 months away from our wedding with no photographer, thanks to Red Bank Studio. There are SO MANY wonderful, talented, and capable photographers available in New York, New Jersey, on Wedding Wire, The Knot, Craigslist, from word of mouth, downtown wherever you live is probably a decent photographer. Why would you take a risk on these guys? Is their price or style that much better than your second option to incur this kind of risk? read more

WARNING TO FUTURE BRIDE/GROOMS** ZERO STARS We felt brushed under the rug since day one. Due to the pandemic we decided to have our wedding reception on our property. RB Studio heard this and continued to refer to it as a "micro-wedding" despite our efforts to say there will be 90 people attending / it's formal / this is NOT a backyard BBQ event (as Michael referred to it) / etc. We never got to speak to the actual photographer or videographer that arrived that day prior to the event. They felt like two very inexperienced individuals, who did NOT follow our shot list whatsoever. They gave zero direction. They made zero effort to make us feel comfortable during shooting. They arrived ready to shoot a picnic and seemed very out of their element when they realized it was a full-blown wedding. When the night was winding down, rather than consult the shot list, they interrupted us to figure out what pictures we still wanted taken. As if they never even looked at the shot list that we spent 60 minutes of our time planning for them. The entire process from beginning to bitter end was a drag with minimal communication. Zero followup after the wedding. When I reached out for a timeline to receive photos/videos - I was met with a rude response, given a photo queue calendar I had never seen before, and was told the videos would be ready in 3-4 months (though the contract states 12-16 weeks). Great. I wait until the anticipated date for the photos. When I hadn't received a response by 2pm that day - I reached out to see if they were ready - they were not and they wouldn't be ready until the following week. I asked to see some preview shots - to which my fears were confirmed - they looked so unprofessional. When I receive the full lot of photos the following week, I'm met with more disappointment. Shot list was thrown out the window, terrible color, unflattering angles galore, inconsistent shots, blown-out, barely culled or edited, the list goes on. Cut to 16+ weeks and still no video - no communication that it would be delayed either. I reach out (again) and am told it won't be ready till the end of February the earliest OR early March the latest. We received the video last Friday 2/25/22. Again, more disappointment. I had hoped the shots from our list that were missed in the photos would be featured somewhere in the video footage - they were not. The cuts are terrible, the highlight video is rushed, speeches are cut at odd moments or removed altogether AND... ... THE ICING ON THE UNPROFESSIONAL CAKE... OUR WEDDING DATE IS WRONG in the video. Not only did they use the default font in Premiere Pro (Lucida Grande - minimal effort) they did not even get our wedding date correct! The end of the highlight video we're greeted with 9/24/21 (they didn't even bother putting it on the full length). We were married 9/25/21. There is NOT one photo we can say we genuinely like. We have not gotten any of them printed and we don't intend to. We've resorted to aggregating our friends photos from social media to get decent shots - luckily they took some really nice ones. Sharing the video is an embarrassment without the correct date (as of this review they have not amended it yet). A waste of $2,461. There is a reason their awards stop in 2019. What you see on their website is not the quality you will receive. I don't know if they lost their top employees during the pandemic, but these portfolio pieces and previous accolades do not represent their current work. Red Bank Studio should be ashamed of their customer service and they absolutely should not accept work that they don't have the bandwidth to complete within the contracted time. I hope this helps! read more

I absolutely love Red Bank Studio! I first learned of them two years when I attended a friends wedding. A few months later, I went to another friends wedding (I was a bridesmaid at this wedding) and realized it was the same photographer. When both friends got their pictures back, I was in love! We contacted Bogdan, the lead photographer, to see if he would be available for our wedding and we were so happy to learn that he was! He really captures the moment of your wedding and being in a wedding that he worked, I can say it almost felt like he wasn't even there a lot of the day - just capturing the little details that you're going to have for a lifetime in pictures. My wedding is in February and I'm so excited to reunite with Bogdan and his team. I'm so excited to get the pictures back already! I would highly recommend using this company!! read more

Ten stars! I know I am super late, but better late than never. I just wanted to say thank you for how awesome Michael and the Red Bank Studio team were for our wedding. Michael and his team makes sure to listen to you and to focus on what you want for your special day. From their punctuality and professionalism throughout the whole process, to Michael's contagious smile and good spirit on the wedding day, we must say that we could not have been able to find anyone else better than Michael and the Red Bank Studio team to take care of us on our special day. I am not just saying this myself, but in fact many of my guests very impressed with Michael's work and charisma, and came to me to complement his work and personality. Your energy, your charm, and your ability to make people laugh even when they do not want to, made our wedding day extra special. I must say that I was extremely worried about my husband and his lack of smiling skills, but he gave us the best smile I have ever seen in him, and it was all thanks them. More than taking pictures and recording a video, they would make sure that we were comfortable and we never felt overwhelmed with pictures that day. They actually enjoy their work. You can tell is not a job for them! I cannot thank you guys enough, and I will be forever grateful for the stellar work you guys performed at our wedding. I wish you and your team a successful and healthy 2023, and I hope we get to work together soon! read more
