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!!

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!

Thank you so much Dean Michaels Studio and to our amazing photographer, Laura! 10 out of 10.

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

DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH AVNIDA PHOTOGRAPHY…read more Harshita, the photographer, will NOT reach out to you once your shoot is over. You will have to beg for your photos and realize you're communicating with someone who is intentionally ghosting you. I'm reaching 2 months now with no photos and quite frankly tired of chasing her down. Since the photoshoot, I never received any communication from Harshita about any timeline. I'm reading the contract agreement and there's no promised time frame either for clients to receive their photos. At this point I'm wondering if I'm ever going to receive anything????? These are precious newborn photos that can't be redone. If you read all the recent reviews, this seems to be her business model - ghosting her clients. Please read all the recent yelp and google reviews to educate yourself. She's terrible at communicating through email. I had to send 2 emails each time to get a response of what date the shoot was going to be, what time, and what the address was...which should have sent alarm bells but I gave her the benefit of the doubt. She has a talent with newborns and is a personable person but absolutely cannot be trusted to do business with. She was recommended to us through family who used her years ago. From all the positive reviews that are several years old...it tells me she may have been operating very well back then but something clearly changed between then and now. I understand she is a one woman show running this business- which I have full respect for and was trying not to be pushy. But to not communicate anything for 2 months is completely unacceptable. When I texted her asking why I wasn't receiving a response through email, she said "there's some issue with her email." Don't you love excuses? I'm now not receiving any responses through text either. I'm appalled and very upset this is happening. She is charging $799 for the "My Love Newborn" collection and all packages requires a $225 deposit you can kiss goodbye. This is by no means a cheap service and the very least I expect as a client is good communication and deliverables. Please save yourself the heart ache and not conduct business with Avnida Photography. I will update my review when I finally receive my photos.

If I could do it all over again, I would absolutely choose a different photographer. A newborn…read moreshoot is supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture special, irreplaceable memories. Sadly, every time I look at the photos of my newborn, I'm reminded not of joy, but of how incredibly stressful and upsetting it was to work with Harshita. From the beginning, her lack of professionalism and communication was shocking. She missed every single deadline she promised, including postponing the scheduled shoot. After the session finally took place, she never answered a single phone call from me or my husband again -- not one. That level of disregard made me feel completely disrespected as a client. She verbally promised our proofs within two weeks. It took seven weeks. Once I selected the photos, I had to wait another month to receive them -- only after repeatedly chasing her with messages and unanswered calls. It felt like she had no intention of delivering anything unless I hounded her for it. When I finally got the edits, the quality of some of them was very disappointing. Some of the backgrounds -- meant to look like seamless backdrops -- looked poorly placed, skewed, and unprofessional. I asked for them to be fixed, and again had to wait almost another two months while being completely ignored. In total, from the shoot on March 6 to receiving final edits on June 27, I waited over 3.5 months -- all while feeling like I was being ghosted. I even explained that I needed the photos for a special Father's Day gift for my father visiting from overseas. She never responded. She sent them after the date had passed, with another excuse that she'd "already sent them" days before - then why send them randomly again? What hurts most is the lack of care. Harshita charges premium prices, but provides anything but a premium experience. This isn't just a one-off situation -- after this experience, I looked deeper and found old reviews from years ago to quite recently describing the same issues. I wish I took all her previous reviews into consideration. She may take lovely photos on the day (and we actually enjoyed the shoot and thought we had a connection) but the stress, silence, and disregard that follows is not worth it. This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had as a new parent
