I had to find a photographer last minute to get some family pictures taken. Marsal Studios…read moreanswered my inquiry within 20 minutes of sending out my questions, and was able to book me and provide me a great quote. Richard came on time, was very patient with my son who has autism and other disabilities to get the perfect shot. He was able to get my girls to smile and enjoy their picture being taken. The photos came out so beautiful that really captured my kids. Would use them again and highly recommend them.

Finding a wedding photographer was a tough task in my wedding process. All the photographers whose…read morework I admired were way above my budget. All the reasonably-priced photographers work looked more amateur. Also, many photographers had certain time limits. I was getting frustrated and stressed out until I encountered Marsal Studios on a whim (Facebook ad?). Since they were located in Westbook and my wedding was in Old Saybrook, I figured they were geographically convenient. When I e-mailed owner/photographer Virginia Roberts, she immediately got back to me and had a very pleasant tone. So my then-fiance (now husband) and I ventured south to Westbrook to meet Virginia at Marsal Studios (which she co-owns with her husband, Rick) located in the Water's Edge shops. Immediately, Jason and I were drawn to Virginia's gentle demeanor and sincerity. The photos were stunning and the videos were spectacular! For the price, we got two photographers and unlimited time; which was true value considering that most photography studios charged more for one photographer and less amount of time (6 hours). We were so impressed with Marsal Studios that we booked them on the spot! Our wedding day proved that we made the right decision in selecting Virginia and her team at Marsal Studios; they really were some of the hardest working people in the wedding industry. Virginia arrived at my room at 9 a.m. and worked until 11 p.m., when the reception ended. She was very easy to work with and all of my moms and attendants loved having her there. Tom, her assistant, photographed the guys getting ready. Many of our guests were impressed with the amount of shots they took, including two former photographers. From looking at our photos, I was so happy with the outcome, as were the guests! Looking at my wedding album helps me relive the best day of my life. I highly recommend brides-to-be to look into Marsal Studios. Don't worry; they do not try to upsell you anything and you won't be disappointed.
