Mitch the Minister - where do I start? First of all, Mitch hands down delivered such an incredible,…read moreintimate ceremony that so many of our guests believed he was a member of our family - that is just how personal and fitting his beautiful reading was. Mitch has an incredible personality with the rare ability to deliver both a touching (not a dry eye in the house) and light-hearted, funny ceremony. Our families and guests are raving about how perfect it was and we have to agree. What a kind, thoughtful man who truly loves what he does. As a same sex couple, it was very important for us to find someone who would accept us and treat us like any other loving couple, and Mitch was all of that and more. He truly made us feel special and made our ceremony unforgettable, personal, and magical - no other words to describe it :) Thank you so much Mitch! Love, Greg & Tom

My fiancé planned a perfect engagement and Andrew was a huge part of making the day a success. He…read morefound Andrew on yelp to capture the proposal in a surprise photo shoot. Andrew blended in with the surroundings and I did not notice him until after the question was popped. Andrew not only captured the moment so beautifully, he also walked us to Washington Square where we took many other photos. Andrew had such a great way of making us feel comfortable so that the pictures looked natural. Once the shoot was over, Andrew sent a few pictures within hours to announce our engagement. A few days later he emailed the full portfolio. We feel so lucky to have these pictures to look back on!

I hired Andrew to shoot the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner of my wedding a few weeks ago. This was…read moremy second time hiring Andrew (the first being my mother's surprise 60th birthday party two years ago) and I can honestly say he's one of the best photographer's I've worked with. Andrew has a special knack for capturing amazing, intimate and candid moments between people without you even noticing he's there. The joy and excitement that we felt on that day really came through in the photos, and it was awesome to have a chance to relive that. I would definitely hire Andrew again for any event I am planning.

After stalking Drew's pictures of other people's weddings for years, I knew nobody else would be good enough for ours. The pictures are absolutely incredible, everyone who sees them can't believe how beautiful they are, and the day itself was so much fun!! We also rented the photobooth which was GREAT! You can fit more people than many other booths and switch between black and white or color. Can't say enough good things about Drew Noel photography!!!!

When I shaved off my long hair Drew did the "before and after" photos. I had recently moved so all…read morethe photographers I'd modeled for in the past were too far away to do two shoots in a week. I looked through many local photographers, saw his edgy work as a good sign and contacted him via Facebook to tell him about my idea. He was excited and gave me pricing and availability. His rates are very reasonable and we ended up shooting far longer than quoted - so I got extra bang for my bucks! When we met in person he was professional and easy going. The studio was cozy. I was definitely at ease. He listened to my ideas and added some of his own- we did many takes on lighting -each more beautiful than the last. He emailed me selected photos immediately and all the photos a few weeks later (all 2,000!). They are absolutely gorgeous. Really, his great work has brought my vanity up a notch. When I tell people I shaved my head I always show them the first photo he sent me with both versions of me edited into the same frame. They always exclaim how good I look with a shaved head. Then they realize the girl with the long hair in the picture is also me and they freak out over how cool the photo is. Long story short: Drew does great work. I'd hire him again in a heartbeat and it'd be my absolute pleasure and good fortune to be in his photographs.

I was recently asked to provide a review for J & J Studios, nearly five years after working with…read morethem. I had avoided doing so because I understand how hard it can be for small businesses, especially in the wedding industry, and I do not leave negative reviews lightly. That said, the request brought the experience back, and I feel it is worth sharing for other couples. We originally booked J & J Studios during lockdown in 2020 for our April 2022 wedding. In January 2022, after I received a serious medical diagnosis, my husband and I had to postpone our wedding to October. Our venue and every other vendor worked with us, requested reasonable documentation, and did not require additional payment. J & J handled things differently. We were told we would need to pay a new deposit to hold the new date, plus an additional fee because they were unlikely to rebook our original date. We were told that if they did book it, the extra cost would be refunded. With significant medical bills at the time, that added cost was not feasible. For context, about two months after we postponed, I had a friend inquire about our original April date, and she was told it was booked. I wish the experience had been different. We were willing to meet them in the middle as far as the additional payment given the circumstances but they felt they could not at the time. I understand that businesses have policies, but during an already difficult and emotional time, we were left feeling unsupported.

I used J&J Studies for a 3-day event. I contacted them after a Google search and received a quote…read morevery quickly. They worked with me to finalize the details and the final quote was in line with what I was looking for and very competitive. What impressed me the most was the professionalism of the studio across the board - working with the owner on the timeline, working with the photographers each day, and the speed of the final deliverables. The studio even made some adjustments on a group photo to remove some items and enhance it. Prior to the start, the owner created a very detailed timeline of the event for each photographer and a group text to keep everyone informed of any changes or to handle any issues. The photographers themselves were great! They were not obtrusive, quick to respond and did a great job capturing the spirit of the event across the 3 days. To summarize, what impressed me was: - Timeliness on quoting and response rate - Excellence of staff - Coordination of staff - Punctuality and professionalism - Quality of the final product Please consider them for your next event.

From start to finish their communication was clear, professional, and so thoughtful. It was so easy to talk with them and share our vision. They truly listened and brought it to life. Neither my husband nor I are naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but Sam and Zach immediately put us at ease. They made the entire experience fun, relaxed, and completely stress-free. They beautifully balanced posed portraits with candid moments, perfectly capturing the emotion and joy of each event. We are absolutely in love with our photos and will treasure them forever. We can't recommend Peaberry Photography enough to anyone looking for talented, kind, and genuinely wonderful photographers to be part of their day.
