Vin makes sure you are always comfortable and keeps a relaxed environment. The atmosphere becomes suited to your own personality, making you feel right at home. He is full of positive energy, and allows for your best self to shine through. His guidance is great, gentle and effective. Little effort is needed for you to try to be this or that because he simply wants you to be the beautiful you that you are and I love that so much. Vin's passion and technique show in his work. My images are so natural yet sensual and beautiful. He does remarkable work with lighting and highlighting the skin to make angles and parts pop in all the right ways. I would most definitely recommend working with Vincent Alongi for any shoots which you desire.

From the first consultation, to the actual shoot, to the photo reveal, I was absolutely floored. Greg puts so much care and attention to detail right from the beginning. I felt so welcomed and so comfortable in his studio through the whole process. The shoot made me feel so beautiful and ontop of the world, and seeing my photos really took my breath away. Greg is so incredibly talented at what he does and he's also just an amazing genuine person. If you're thinking about doing a shoot, Greg is the best one out there!! Thank you again! -Brianna

He made me feel so comfortable and became determined to conquer the issue together. Greg is a professional and a true artist. His team is also superb. The shoot was so much fun, and I had no idea just how natural it would feel. Greg took the time to really get to know me, including my battles with chronic illness (which we even worked into the shoot In a beautiful, meaningful way). I'm so proud of this, and thankful to him for this op print it to begin to see myself in a new light. I value Greg as an artist and now as a friend. Our work may not even be finished yet! Thank you Greg and team for an amazing experience!!

The plan was to order the same leggings in a larger size and full length, but with many contact attempts and no response I will take my business elsewhere. It's interesting when this happens (and it's rare), because businesses need consumers money. Without us you go out of business.

I felt like I was being gaslit and made sure to bring a friend to my final appointment to make sure the dress was perfect and that I wouldn't be bullied into a dress i felt uncomfortable in. The dress ended up looking and feeling good, but on the actual wedding day when tying my bustle the straps broke, which meant the train had to stay long. Ended up needing to change into a different dress (not a planned second look) because I couldn't dance with the bustle breaking. Overall would not recommend based on bedside manner and quality of alterations.

This review is long but it is the truth. Please read as I would not want this experience to happen…read moreto anyone else. Do not. I repeat DO NOT WORK WITH THIS GUY. He is a scammer and a liar. I was super excited to do a boudoir shoot for my birthday, and since I had purchased it off of Groupon since September, I didn't want to let it expire so about 3 weeks ago I called Ricardo to set up an appointment. When I got to the building, I buzzed the apartment number, and then I opened the gate. The inside building door was open and I walked in. Out of nowhere this girl starts yelling at the top of the stairs saying, "why does someone keep buzzing for no f****ing reason?" and in my head I'm just like, "am I in the right place?" And she turns to me and asks if I'm here for Ricardo and I'm like yes. In my mind I'm thinking the makeup artist is someone he hired on payroll or something but as she's doing my makeup she tells me that she's Ricardo's daughter. Weird. Thankfully I brought my OWN foundation just in case because she tells me that she doesn't have my shade. Rule of thumb: as a professional makeup artist you should have EVERY SHADE. Another red flag. Not only that she sent her friend, sister, whoever to get lashes since that was another request from me (and it shouldn't be). After she did my makeup she asked how I'm paying and then she charged $75. I told her that I was told $50 when I spoke to Ricardo. I was furious. She did a good job but I personally know other professional makeup artists who wouldn't do that and still do a better Job. After the shoot he tells me to come back after I change and take a look at the photos. He tells me to rate the ones that I like 5 star but doesn't tell me that if I go back then all the photos I selected get removed and I have to start the WHOLE selection process again. As I'm going through the photos, he's on WhatsApp videochat with his family with children literally yelling in the background and just being extremely unprofessional. As I'm going through the photos, the last photos he took did not appear on screen and he's looking at me clueless like this never happened to him before and turns out it wasn't on his memory card. So I went to go change and do the last pose again. Then after selecting, Ricardo asked me, "Am I the best photographer you ever had?" And I tell him "no, but this is one of the cool shoots I've done". Then he asks which other photographers I've worked with, and as he goes through the photographer's profile he criticizes the photographer who has done superb work and says that their photos are "too retouched" and that he works with different agencies, blah blah blah. Bullshit. You don't criticize someone else's work just because your own work is subpar. What frustrates me was that after he redeemed the Groupon (which was $79) he said that to get the edited photos and the gallery it was going to be $500. $500?!? I told him I'm not paying that, then he said that he'll "throw in 10 edited photos" and that he'll only charge $200 (additional to the $79 since he said that price was only to book him which made no sense). Looking back I shouldn't have given him anything. Not even a dime. He preys on women's vulnerability and does things in the moment and does not keep his word. He also makes people rate him on the spot in front of him just so they can feel pressured and lie then takes their money. The unedited photos were nice but he doesn't give you the full online gallery as other professional photographers actually do. He gives you a Google drive link (via text, not email) to only the photos you selected. Just unprofessional all across the board. Update: The Groupon only said 2 professional photos (which isn't even fair either). Ricardo sent me the 10 edited photos (plus 2 that I didn't ask for and were not my favorites either.) He did a TERRIBLE, half-ass, lackluster job editing. I could've done a better job editing them. In one photo he edited my left hip but not the right hip and I'm like why was that edited at all. He then used some beauty skin retouching effect that made my lips and body smaller. That's not editing or retouching photos. He doesn't know what he's doing and I'm surprised why he's getting so many rave reviews about his work because it's trash.
