What can I say about Levi that hasn't already been said by every other person that has had the…read morepleasure of him photographing their wedding or other special time in their life? My husband and I found Levi through a little bit of hardcore google searching for the best photographers in the NYC area. He was on a list of about 20 and after going through all of their portfolios on their websites, we narrowed our search down to 5 photographers - all of whose work slightly varied and we liked for different reasons. My husband went out and met with all 5 and then narrowed it down to 2 for me. I actually met with Levi via Skype due to my work hours and I can say that from the first minute I felt his warmth come through my computer screen. He has this really calming nature about him that just makes you relax and feel comfortable, which is refreshing for someone high strung like me! Needless to say, after our Skype session I consulted my husband (then fiance) and we decided that we would like Levi to photograph our wedding! We arranged for engagement photos a few months later and when we met Levi in person (well, when I met him), he was everything I expected and more. He is patient and he is a consummate professional. Those photos came out amazing and made me even more excited to see what he would do on our wedding day. The day of our wedding Levi arrived to photograph me in my location and someone else on his team for my husband (I apologize, her name escapes me, but her photos are amazing too - I only know this because I saw Levi in the background of some of the outtakes!). He arrived perfectly on time and he was so cool and relaxed. I was a nervous wreck and so he recommended I have a drink... which help ease my apparant frozen face! We got married in the beginning of April when the trees are still barren and Levi still managed to get some beautiful outdoor shots, where you wouldn't even think it was kind of an ugly day (same goes for our engagement photos, in fact). Overall, Levi captured so many great moments that we had a little of trouble picking the photos we wanted to appear in our album and are planning on making smaller ablums dedicated to just us, the party and family. He really gives you sooooo many photos, it will blow your mind. I will say that the one thing that struck my husband and I immediately about his photos was how Levi managed to capture emotion on camera in almost all of his shots. That is something really important to us and now looking back on our own photos we can re-live the day over and over thanks to his work. We have zero regrets for hiring Levi to photograph our wedding. I would 1,000% recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch and extremely talented wedding photographer.

Neither my husband nor I like taking pictures, but Levi managed to make even the portrait shoots fun. Our guests raved about him as well. He managed to be completely unobtrusive throughout our wedding, while still capturing all the important moments and then some. Now we just need to come up with another event so that we can hire him again!:)

We hired Bob to shoot our wedding reception... Unfortunately we did not plan far enough in advance…read moreand he was already booked elsewhere during our ceremony. So Plan Ahead!!!! The photos Bob took of us and our guests during the reception were gorgeous! Everybody, and I mean everybody looked amazing. It's really a testament to Bob's talent that in a candid situation, with very little equipment that he was able to take far, far better photos than the gentleman we hired for our ceremony. Bob's lighting is immensely flattering to everyone, he is a real pro and a pleasure to work with. He also shoots generously, yet methodically and deliberately - he does not shoot 5000 images to come up with 50 good ones. (Which is what our ceremony guy did- and handed to us unedited- ugh and unprofessional) Bob will hand you 100% gorgeous results. You will want to print them all! I highly recommend Bob, and you can bet that when my husband and I renew our vows I am going to be on the phone with Bob the second we choose a date!

I worked with Bob for my wedding when his studio was in Union Square, but if it takes my review to…read moreget thee to the 'Boken, I guarantee you will not be disappointed! Bob not only delivers incredible photos, but you can also buy your negatives and get them all on archival CDs. His pricing is between $500 - $15,000 (check out the website for more details). Whether it's the "mega-package" or just the basics, you will get the same high quality, professional results from a master of the genre. Bob's photography matches his personality: classic, approachable and easygoing. His style is mostly candid, but he also has a great eye for capturing the details in photos that are posed/framed (there's a shot of our reception hall with the light filtering through the windows that looks like it belongs in a magazine). Here's what strikes me as most important. At the end of the longest, craziest, most fun and exhausting day of your life -- Bob will provide you and your loved ones with those moments that make memories. You will be happy, I promise! Final tip for all you future brides: NEVER work with a photographer who keeps your negs; they will charge you an exorbitant price for every print you order, and you won't be able to get copies made anywhere else. Bob's reaction when I asked him who kept the negatives: "Why would I want your wedding photos? They belong to you!" Thank you, Bob! Update: couldn't resist adding some pics. These are low-res because I saved them that way, but the pics are still beautiful.

Andrew shot both of our wedding events on August 4th and 5th. We had an Indian traditional event on…read moreAugust 4th and our wedding was on August 5th. Andrew went above and beyond our expectations on both days. When we first met with him, one of the things that impressed us was his excitement for our wedding. We had met with several photographers before Andrew, but none of them exhibited the same excitement that we felt from Andrew. Once he showed us his work from other weddings, it was a no brainer. We loved his unique style and his ability to capture the emotions of the day. Another thing we were looking for was a non-traiditional photographer. We did not want to pose for a million ordinary pictures, we wanted our pictures to be candid and original. We also wanted the photographer to be able to capture all of this without being obtrusive. That's exactly what we got with Andrew. After the wedding, we were jokingly called Andrew a ninja photographer, because that's exactly what he was. He captured everything ninja-style, darting in and out for shots, not interrupting the festivities. Andrew was superb during our wedding but it is just as important for your photographer to deliver your images shortly after. Andrew came trough in perfect time. Within a month, we had all of our images available for us in our online gallery. When we first saw the pictures, we were beyond excited to share them with our families and our guests. Since then, we have received countless compliments from everyone. Everyone loved the style of the pictures, it was something they had not seen before. Andrew did not only take pictures, he captured the energy and spirit of so many people in his images. We are now trying to decide which ones to have printed, but are having a very hard time because they are all phenomenal. We will definitely be recommending Andrew to all of our friends in the future. No one else could have captured our memories more beautifully.

I loved the final product especially, I have really bad dark circles under my eyes and the touch ups came back impeccable. Super great customer service too, I called, got someone on the phone right away, the studio manager was personable and answered ALL my questions. I despise having my photo taken and this was a super positive experience. HIGHLY recommend, will be using Chris for my engagement photos as well in a few months! 5 stars hands down.

I've never felt like I photographed well, but having seen Chris's work, I wanted to see how they would turn out. They were beautiful! I could not believe it! As an added bonus, Chris has a way of making you FEEL beautiful and putting you at ease. Having photographs taken of yourself, at least for me, can make one feel vulnerable and self-conscious, but not with Chris. If you're considering professional photos, for whatever occasion, call Chris! You won't regret it!

We used Daniel Martinez as our wedding photographer and we couldn't be happier! When looking for a…read morewedding photographer we didn't want a cheesy/annoying photographer in our faces all day and Danny was nothing like that. He was very professional, on-time and super behind the scenes throughout the day. We barely even noticed him there all day but captured such amazing and unique photos. He's artistic, creative and energetic. He provided services above and beyond just wedding photography to help make our wedding day unique and personal - he provided Polaroid cameras for our photo guest book, used a go-pro to capture some video of the day and provided a 2nd photographer for the ceremony, all at a very reasonable price point. He's truly passionate about his photography to the point where our families' and friends' noticed and commented on how great of a wedding photographer he was. We would definitely recommend him to anyone getting married in the city. Thanks again for everything Danny! Elise & Dan (5.16.15)

I had people all night talking about how great he was and couldn't believe the shots he was thinking to take. I want Danny to photograph ever future event that is important in my life.

I could not recommend Minnow Park more highly to photograph your wedding! Both for the stunning…read morequality of the photos we received and his warm and professional demeanor on the day of our wedding and through the planning process, I truly can't imagine anyone better. Minnow's photos capture the real feeling of the day. Nothing is staged or stylized, everything looks really natural and true to the moment but also of stunningly beautiful magazine/art-level quality. He is an absolute genius at capturing the emotions and expressions on peoples' faces, and also gets great shots both of the big picture of the event (he even got a shot of the entire party dancing from up above on a balcony) and the little details like table settings and gorgeous and creative shots of our rings. Even the family/ bridal party portraits had a very natural feel to them. Furthermore, Minnow is an absolute joy to be around. He genuinely cares about the work he does and absolutely shares the excitement of the couple and their family and friends. I expected to feel awkward being photographed but Minnow made me feel completely at ease with his warm smile and easygoing attitude. I couldn't believe how quickly and seamlessly our family portraits all went too! He has it down to a science how to switch out the various combinations of family members to capture memorable shots for the future while not interrupting the flow of the day. Those probably took under ten minutes and came out great. Minnow really went above and beyond--not only in photographing, but when there were moments here and there where we needed some extra logistical help (both on the day of and in planning) he always stepped up, and his extensive experience with weddings and his helpful and caring personality really showed. Minnow is an incredible artist and I feel so grateful to have his beautiful and thoughtful photos of our wedding for years to come. Could not recommend him more!

Minnow has a great reputation as a wedding photographer, me and my now wife had looked around and…read moreMinnow was reasonable pricing compared to the competition. He is very professional, he was always punctual and also very personable. He made all photo shoots comfortable and he gave great directions as a good photographer should. The Pictures overall came out great, he uses more natural lighting and settings instead of using a ton of Photoshop. He is a reasonable guy so he was very accommodating to any questions or needs we had. On our wedding day he gathered up our big family and made sure he got all the family photos in with everybody he worked very fast i was amazed. we got the package that came with an album and a second photographer and his second photographer was great as well, the album came out really well in which he asked us to review a few times before we all picked the best pictures together. When you go meet him he lays out all the packages and he gives you deadlines when all the photos will be ready to be ready for you, and he ALWAYS delivered on due dates. A wedding photographer is not something you want to cheap out on, trust me... some of my close friends did and i still hear horror stories till this day about them. Minnow truly makes things enjoyable and life much easier for you since you have 1000 other things to worry about for your wedding, i highly recommend!

Her responsiveness, openness, and creativity made everything go so smoothly, and she constantly worked to make things comfortable. And that was just the planning and work before! Monica's photography itself is simple, beautiful and authentic. Throughout our photo shoot she spent time setting up our angles and best background options, and that shown through with the finished product we received. Working with Monica is a partnership where she ultimately wants to make the moment she is photographing enjoyable and fun, as well as to provide high quality memories to look back on. I couldn't recommend Monica any more, and I hope to be able to work with her again!

I was a little nervous at first about getting shots without crowds of people, but without me even asking, Monica scheduled the session for sunrise so we could avoid strangers appearing in our photos. I tend to dread having my picture taken since I'm usually very awkward and don't know how to pose, but Monica gave really helpful instructions and feedback. My fiance and I couldn't be happier with our engagement photos. And we look forward to working with Monica for our wedding and future events.
