I HIGHLY recommend Werth Photography for wedding photos in Philadelphia. I found them on The Knot…read moreand booked them for our Philly destination wedding. It felt risky because I would only meet them on the day of the wedding - turns out booking Werth Photography was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. Here's why: Matt and Laurie understood it was their job to capture the day, not be the center of the day. After the wedding, all my wedding guests had horror stories to share about demanding, oblivious, self-centered wedding photographers. Everyone remarked on how wonderful it was to work with Matt and Laurie. They were pleasant, gracious, and considerate throughout the day. They were so discreet during the ceremony, I never once noticed them take any attention from the service. During the day, it was obvious they had listened when we talked about what we wanted and did not want for the photographs. Speaking of, Laurie was a fabulous communicator throughout the planning process. She graciously offered expert advice, such as when I was considering whether to have the entire ceremony bilingual, 'One of the best ways I have seen two languages integrated into a ceremony was...'. She was willing to work with us to make our unique wedding - a tiny Sunday afternoon with only 19 people - a special day for us. She was even able to get a beautiful photo of us to us the night of the wedding so we could send it out with wedding announcements the day after the wedding. For wedding photographers, the proof is in the pudding. We've seen a preview of our photos and are AMAZED at how WONDERFULLY they turned out. Can't wait to see the rest! If you need wonderful photographers for your special day in Philly, contact Werth Photography!

Words cannot express how thankful…read moreand happy we are that they were there to capture our day, and the photos are even more magical than we could ever have imagined! The husband-wife pair is such an amazing treat - they get it! And their approach is the perfect mix of positive energy and subtlety. They managed to capture all the best moments of the night, without being in the way. When we wanted them, they were right there. They were truly a delight to work with. And their style is EXACTLY what we wanted. So vibrant, so dramatic... so incredibly cool. For a night wedding, it was perfection. We are over the moon! THANK YOU!!!!

We would love to say that working with Studio Nine Photography was a pleasant delight but…read moreunfortunately their lack of professionalism is quite appalling and it honestly ruined our experience. While the quality of photos taken were nice, we regret trusting this studio with our wedding photos. Our first complaint is with our photographer, leading up to the wedding we were very open about specific photos we would have liked to be taken with family members. We shared a small list of the photos we would have liked, we didn't even receive half of these images. The words "Millitant" and "Drill Sergeant" were the kinder terms used to describe our photographer during the day of our wedding. Guests were yelled at, chairs were thrown, and while we hoped this was a process for getting the best images on our memorable day, yelling at elderly guests that they need to walk faster or they will not be in any photos is incredibly rude. Because of this behavior we were unable to have many photos with grandparents or elderly family members on our wedding day. After the wedding, our photographer posted a photo on her social media site to scorn our family members for having phones out during the ceremony. These were very clear images, it was easy to identify our guests, and it is completely unprofessional to shame wedding guests especially since our wedding was not "unplugged" nor did any members of the Studio Nine Photography group speak with us previously about phone usage. The first photos shared by members of this company for our wedding were shaming our guests. When we finally received our wedding photos, many images were lacking the creativity that was shown to us when we interviewed Studio Nine. We were shown super imposed images and told that the photographer would bring their own lighting to add to the creativity of our day, none of the images we received had these effects. It was unfortunate. Of course we reached out to Studio Nine to identify these issues and their response was what really turned us off with our experience. We were told that the reason some creativity was lacking in the photos was due to no communication on their part and a lack of time. Being the bride and groom, we were able to set up the timing of the wedding and could have pushed our cocktail time over to get the photos we wanted or the time the photographer needed. Studio Nine never communicated with anything about what they needed, they only told us that they would be able to create these photos. Studio Nine also agreed with us that our photographer behaved unprofessionally, but there was nothing they could do about it and could only consider it for future clients. So I am sharing with all potential future clients. My husband and I would not recommend working with a company who is lacking in effective communication, who's photographers feel entitled to subject your guests to online embarrassment, and who, after the fact, say there's nothing more they can do for you because they need to worry about future clientele instead of current clients. We regret considering this company an honest and professional organization. If you have any follow up questions or would like to see the email chain we have interacting with Studio Nine please reach out to me on this website.

Stacey Salter Moore is pure art in motion. Her eye. Attention to detail, pure perfection. I feel…read moregrateful that I had the opportunity to work with her because she sets the tone of comfort from the start. She has a way of putting you at ease and gently adjusting you so that you look your best and look like you. I hired Stacey for new headshots and new website photos. I've worked with many photographers in my career and Stacey is by far, my favorite. We actually achieved what I was looking for in my photos. The first time, that has happened in 20 years. There is not enough space on yelp for me to sing Stacey's praises. I will say this - you better hire her NOW, because her star is on the rise. If you wait, you're going to miss out on the experience of working with her. I highly recommend SSM Photography and Stacey Salter Moore to anyone looking for a fantastic photographer.

We interviewed about 5 different options and Stacey was the one who stuck out from all of the rest. Stacey was so easy to talk to, she provided great feedback, ideas, suggestions and advice for our big day. She was not a "Yes Man" - we looked to her for all of these qualities because she is a master of her craft and we welcomed the advice. The end result was MAGIC! We are so pleased. Stacey and Justice were a tag team of awesome. Funny, easy going and absolutely nailed it. Even the guests loved them! Thank you a million times over, Stacey

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 have only been privileged to see a few pics and each one is more amazing than the next. But, the one that gets the gasps every time I do show it, is the kiss in the Italian Market! WOW!!! Should really be on a magazine cover! I also want to thank you for making the whole experience feel so at ease. One of my memories from that evening was sharing our couple of moments to catch our breath outside of the ballroom and sharing our thoughts on the bridal couple (and my shoes)! Your kindness, warmth and professionalism are very special and I am grateful you were there to record our precious event!" I rarely take the time to write a review, but feel like shouting from the mountaintops how completely happy Kevin York Weddings made us on our big day!

Samantha's photography is absolutely stunning and she is a joy to work with! We are so grateful our…read morewedding planner directed us to her. We were instantly drawn to her light but colorful photography style, and our initial phone call really sealed the deal when we realized how sweet, friendly, and supportive Samantha was. We felt like she was genuinely interested in getting to know us (as opposed to other teams that made us feel like just another paycheck). She was consistently responsive and professional throughout our wedding planning process. During our engagement session and our wedding, Samantha (and her second shooter, Jess at the wedding!) made these two camera-shy people feel comfortable and fairly natural in front of the camera. Though our engagement photo location wound up being used by countless high schoolers for prom photos the same evening, she calmly navigated to other areas in the garden such that they were barely a disruption. Her prompts kept us laughing, and her positivity and energy brightened our day. Our photos themselves will be treasured for a lifetime. She expertly captured such beautiful memories for us. We're really struggling to decide which photos to display in our house because we love all of them so much. Samantha is just absolutely incredible all-around.

The staff has always had an outstanding attitude and knows just how to work with our kids. They have seasonal events and sets along with a huge amount of props (or, as my kids treat them, toys to play with between photos) and we have never felt rushed during our sessions. What sets these guys apart from their competitors is that you get all of the photos taken during your session included with your package. This is a great bargain given that we often have 50+ photos. My only complaint is their use of Dropbox to give you copies of your photos. Dropbox has never been the easiest to navigate if you want to download your photos. It's a small price to pay though for an epic photo session.
