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!

They snap posed and candid shots exquisitely, capturing the feel of our entire wedding party. Joe's intuition for weddings is unmatched. My husband and I left the wedding for a couple a minutes to step away from all the hustle and bustle, and he was able to sniff us out! It was honestly a blessing because he capture some amazing couple shots of us in the nighttime with a beautiful background. Joe and Vickie were extremely prompt and sent us some "sneak peek" photos within 24 hours! They were amazing and cannot wait for the photos and video! You cannot go wrong with Joie Elie and you will not be disappointed one bit!

We came across Joie Elie Photography and Cinematography during our vendor search and instantly fell in love with their work. From the very beginning, Vickie and Joe were extremely professional and personable to work with. Joe traveled to Philadelphia for our engagement photoshoot. My husband and I wanted some fun couple photos in the city we love (where we met). Joe made us feel very comfortable and captured beautiful, candid moments. He's truly an artist! After seeing the results of that day, my husband and I were so excited to work with Joe and his wife Vickie on our wedding day. We got married on June 23, 2019 in New Jersey. With this being the first wedding in both of our families, we greatly appreciated Vickie's suggestions throughout the planning process and incorporated them into creating the perfect wedding day schedule! We had a multicultural wedding, and Vickie and Joe did an AMAZING job capturing all the meaningful details. A few of our favorite moments included: reading love letters we wrote to each other, our first look before the ceremony, and sneaking away before cake cutting for a nighttime photo session. As we look back at our photos and highlight video, we are simply in awe of their work! Vickie and Joe are so thoughtful in their approach and perfectly captured all the emotions and subtle expressions of the day! We cannot thank them enough for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime!!

Candy and team were very responsive and answered all of my questions prior to booking. The maternity session was such a treat and so stress-free! I decided at 34 weeks that I wanted maternity photos and Candy made it happen. There are so many dresses to choose from so I didn't have to worry about shopping for dresses. I just showed up with a small bag and Candy and Nicole took care of the rest. They were so kind and made me feel at ease during my session. It was nice get done up after spending most of my pregnancy during the pandemic in loungewear. The newborn session was also fantastic! It's apparent that Candy has a lot of experience with babies and trusted her with my daughter. Similar to the maternity session, Candy thinks of it all and makes the experience exceptional...from the preparation to the props, wraps, and accessories she provides. I am so happy we were able to capture these moments and love the photos and albums. And finally but not least... the makeup and hair!! Not only is Nicole very sweet, she is very talented! She did my makeup both times and I loved it.... so much that I slept in my makeup after the second session (figured it was worth risking any breakouts!) If you are looking for fantastic photos, a great end-to-end experience, with a professional and kind team, I highly recommend Sugashoc. Sugashoc, Candy and Nicole - Thanks so much!

Communication and the booking process was super easy and organized on her website. She always responded in a timely manner. She addressed all my questions and concerns. The design team that she works with is amazing and brought my vision for the balloon backdrop to life. She works with her partner/husband Ed who was also super nice and helpful; he came down to help us with our belongings when we got to the studio. The studio was so clean and airy looking; it was the perfect spot for photos with natural lighting. Melissa really showed her expertise and comfort level in taking wonder shots of our son and of us. She was able to direct us on how and where to pose and also adjust things like fixing my hair or adjusting my legs/heels so that they would not look awkward (not all photographers will do this, this comes with experience). We never felt rushed and Melissa was patient with our son. We had some suggestions after we got the edited pictures back and Melissa never made us feel bad about doing the editing over again until we were satisfied. This wonderful experience made us super happy with choosing her as our son's First Birthday Photographer and hopefully other special occasions in the future. If you guys are looking for a true professional to capture your memories then I highly recommend Melissa!!

The day of the photoshoot, he was on the location at exactly the said time and provided us details on how he would go about the process. i can definitely say that he can apply for the US gymnastics team, because he would get in all kinds of positions to take beautiful pictures. He was more than happy to accommodate our silly ideas and still got pictures which looked splendid. And though we had 2 hours with him, he stayed after sun down and took even more pictures. He sent us the proofs within a week and then all the pictures within a month and a half. My wife and I highly recommend him and definitely would like to work with him in future
