Best Fresh Photographer for Intimate New Hope, PA Weddings!…read more We had the pleasure of working with Kasey Ivan Photography for our wedding in New Hope, PA. When we set out looking for someone, we were overwhelmed because honestly it's not every day that you think about how you would like to be photographed and then have to put it into words. We weren't going traditional; we had an intimate outdoor wedding at a B&B with a rustic and simple elegance. We knew what we didn't want, the "standard wedding photographer"... someone that churns out the same photo for every couple and then upsells them the standard coffee table book. From there we figured out that what was important to us. We wanted someone with a fresh eye. My fiance came across his website after a LOT of searching and it had a refreshing feel to it. Kasey's photos captured actual emotion. We met Kasey in person and he was genuinely passionate about what he did and was interested in our story. When he said that the more involved with our love story he was, the more emotion he could put into the photography. SOLD. He asked us lots of questions. We talked for a while and by the time we left we wanted to hire someone else...so we could INVITE HIM AS A GUEST! He was a great listener, answered our questions, referred a videographer and makeup artist, AND his fees were much more realistic than many of the other outfits. There was no way we were going to pay several thousands of dollars for a photographer's assistant that we haven't met, to come follow us around for 8 hours. And the bonus was that he didn't try to force a printed book on us. He was perfectly fine with giving the electronic files. We decided to do a First Look session before the ceremony for many reasons. At first, I was against it because I wanted to be able to see his face for the first time as I walked down the aisle. Kasey suggested that I could walk up to my fiance while his back was turned and tap him on the shoulder. That way he wouldn't actually see me walking up to him. This made ALL the difference in the world and now we are so glad we did it. I can't even express how important, peaceful and meaningful that time was. We were able to stare at each other, feel the emotion, take the time to connect privately...(while being photographed and filmed). I learned later that Kasey even helped my fiancé put on his cufflinks. What an amazing individual. Anyway, even if his photos sucked we would still give him great reviews, but we got our USB drives and finally had the time to go through them. They were exactly what we asked for; we got amazing shots full of emotion from the First Look, breathtaking posed shots around the barn and property, and then the "not posed" action shots we wanted...unscripted real life. There are some awful shots of people's faces, but that's what happens in real life. I'm grateful he didn't remove those because we wanted to see it all! And just to top it off, towards the end of the night we asked him to join us on the dance floor. He was so much fun and danced a jig...or maybe it was moshing, not sure...but it was late. He fit right in and that's what kind of photographer we wanted. Thank you Kasey!

We absolutely loved working with Kasey as our wedding photographer! He is so kind and easy to work…read morewith, he was very communicative, efficient, and transparent with pricing. I'm very glad we chose to do the engagement shoot with him as well as it really helped us get comfortable around him and know what to expect at the wedding. Day of he was on top of everything, and really helped keep us on pace to get everything done that we'd requested. Can't say enough good things!

Siobhan is absolutely amazing. We hired her to photograph our daughter's wedding and could not…read morehave been more pleased. She is so talented in capturing not only the formal posed pictures, but also the candid, fun pictures that tell the story of the event. My relatives all commented to me how impressed they were with how she organized the large group pictures quickly and efficiently, and then slipped into the background capturing emotional moments without any of us realizing it. She is an incredible professional and I HIGHLY recommend her!

My wife chose Sioban of The Maine Tinker Studio because she was a friend from years ago. I have to…read moreadmit I was worried that this was a favor and not an educated decision. I was wrong. We were more than surprised by the results of Sioban and her Photo Booth camper, which is awesome. She made a believer in me and showed me images that I never thought we'd own. She first met with us for our engagement photos. We moved around the city to key locations to get those images we wanted. Not only did Sioban capture those images, but she also grabbed shots that I thought only existed in magazines. When it started to snow, she moved us quickly to grab and amazing moment captured for a lifetime. Those moments are well documented on our wedding day. From her arrival, she came through the door snapping images of artifacts I would never have thought about. She spent the better part of the morning with my wife and then met with me. She was beside us for the better part of the day. I could go on and on. She captured every moment and then some. Let me take a moment to explain that her photos are not your traditional stand in a line and smile.She will do some for keepsakes, but she has a better eye than a line. She finds the moments that reflect the day and convey real emotion. She is creative, thoughtful and most of all professional. She has a radar for a great image. People are still asking us how we get our wedding photos. We also took her up on using a Photo Camper; yes really! It's not what you think. She has taken a vintage camper and repurposed it into a way cool and hip photo camper. My guest all loved the camper and we had trouble getting many guest out of it to come in for dinner. They wanted to stay and continue using the props. They even wanted photos outside of the camper because it's as cool as the inside. Here cost was more than competitive. You might be considering a few photographers. Yes, you can find cheap photographers, but you can't put a price on the moment or more importantly a moment missed. Her cost is far below her value. I've seen the work of photographers in the $5,000-$10,000 range and her work competes with them all day long. If I were looking for a photographer today, I'be be driving to her to give that deposit before my date is gone. Thank You Sioban and your crew for an outstanding and memorable wedding day that I'll get to share with my family and friends for a lifetime!

Hiring Alice and Chris to capture our wedding and separate reception was one of the best decisions we made in our whole wedding planning process, hands down. From the moment we met them, my now-wife and I connected with their incredible friendliness and energy. From the moment we saw our pictures, we were blown away. Not only do we now consider Alice and Chris friends, but we have more beautiful images from our wedding than we could have ever imagined. Alice and Chris were professional and warm and thorough from the planning through the day of, and their obvious excitement and passion for what they do made it all the more fun for us as we were taking pictures.
