Spike Li and his team were amazing! During the wedding planning period, we knew that pictures and…read morevideos were super important to us. Especially since we knew we would be running around and the time would pass by really fast. So we searched all over for photographer/videographers. We saw a sample of Spike's work through a friend's friend and contacted him right away. He was really responsive and transparent. We asked for samples of his work and he delivered. We asked for meetings, he met with us. He had been great throughout. We are an interracial couple so on the wedding day, we did ceremonies from both sides on ONE day. They worked non-stop that day and we really appreciated that. We had a really packed agenda for the ceremonies and the reception. Spike and his team were really patient and kind to everyone. He was also really funny because we're not the best with poses. Because it was wedding season, we didn't get our pictures until a month after but it was okay! We loved the highlight video, the full video, and all the pictures that were taken. We would definitely recommend him to whoever is searching for a photographer/videographer.

Like the other yelpers, we also found Spike on Thumbtack. After an initial face to face meeting…read morewith Spike, my husband and I really liked Spike as a person and had confidence in his control over timing, and ability to deliver solid photos! On our wedding day, Spike showed up on time, gave great instructions, and answered to our requests/ideas . We received our photos three weeks after our wedding and we were really satisfied with the results. The photos are a good combination of fun moments, romantic portraits, and friends and family group pic. Spike didn't use the fancy words that other photographers nowadays tend to use, ie storytelling, in marketing. But his photos do just that!

City Headshots is a 10/10 experience--my photos came out great! The staff is incredibly friendly,…read moreflexible, and professional, offering expert feedback when I couldn't make up my mind. They truly accommodate the client by allowing multiple clothing options and encouraging real-time input. I'd highly recommend them to any colleague or friend.

Very highly recommend…read more Excellent experience. I am very excited and happy with the results. I needed to update professional headshots and got the package with makeup (well-worth it and a must-have I think) with Janelle as the make-up artist and Samantha as the photographer- a superstar team. Samantha was excellent, experienced, fast, and knew exactly what would look good on camera and captured everything I could ask for. Janelle did amazing makeup and was exceptional, making me feel very comfortable and listening closely to what I was hoping for and helped a lot with optimal styling of hair, makeup, etc. This is my third time to return to City Headshots...with the first two times working with Martin about 10 years ago. They have been really excellent all three times, and I would definitely go back again. The booking process and early communications are automated and streamlined. The experience in person is very tailored and personalized and the studio space in Midtown is easy to get to and has a nice comfortable waiting room. I feel like the photos really captured my authentic sense of self in a way that was both elevated and natural. So appreciative. I would return again without hesitation. Thank you!

BRILLIANT! I can't…read morespeak highly enough about this company. They did a SPLENDID job scanning a HUGE pile of photos. They had NO limits on what they can do. I chose them because they can scan stereo slides - and they can do so much more! I sent fragile, old photos, prints of ALL sizes - so much variety and they handled it all. They can do restoration of images, as well. Brandon was professional and VERY helpful. My treasured family photos were in very good hands - AND it's not a massive conglomerate. I like supporting independent businesses. HIGHLY recommend without reservation.

Irreplaceable family photos lost -- no resolution. After using Smooth Photo Scanning in the past, I…read moredecided to give them another try for a large and complicated photo order. Most scans were fine, but four large items -- including a painting by my late mother and a blueprint of the home my family grew up in -- were never scanned, and returned, though I was not charged. I contacted the company multiple times. The owner claimed he looked for the items but adamantly denied I sent them, was unhelpful and offered no resolution. These items are irreplaceable and caused a lot of distress. I filed complaints with the NJ Department of Consumer Affairs and the Better Business Bureau to no avail. I would think twice before using this company.

The one thing MY ENTIRE FAMILY regrets about my wedding was deciding to go with Corey for our…read morewedding pictures and videos. He rarely replied to emails. Literally had to bombard him or call him day after day. He was MIA for the important moments, and multiple people had to go looking for where he was all the time. Work was super amateur. I'm Indian and we have Indian dances and he recorded the brides ENTIRE DANCE FROM A BACK VIEW. We had multiple events that he recorded - 3 to be exact totaling probably 11-14 hours all together, but the raw footage he sent us is ONLY 5 hours. His work blatantly is horrible. He didn't even have guidance or ideas for good pictures. I was picking the scenery/ poses instead of the photographer/ owner of the company himself Corey! I have friends who have better pictures of me and themselves at my wedding than what Corey "professionally" took! If u paid a deposit, get it back. If you're stuck with him, don't pay him in full until you get your pictures/ video. You'll know what I mean! From my wedding of 3 different events over 12-14 hours... I have a total of 4 pictures of me and my husband that I like.

Working with Faymus Media has been a terrible experience since day 1. I found Corey (owner) on…read moreThumbtack and spoke directly with him before I hired him for my brother's wedding. He went through everything I could expect to receive with his videographer package, promised me multiple times the services would be for the ENTIRE day with full reception included, and he also spoke to HIS experience with Greek weddings and made me believe he would be filming the wedding. When the day came, another random subcontractor showed up to film and disappeared 2.5 hours early from the reception without a word. Aside from the bridal party, we had 0 footage of anyone dancing at the reception because of this. He reimbursed me slightly, but I will still never have the footage which is upsetting. It is now 12 weeks after the wedding, and I still have not received my 30-90min ceremony film that I was promised, and Corey will hardly respond to my emails and calls, but when he did, he decided to blame the videographer he hired for this. The videographer then told me Corey never paid him at all for any of his work and wouldn't let him create the film for me, so I have no idea who is telling me the truth, or why I still haven't received everything I paid for, but the process has been so miserable. I do not recommend Faymus Media to anyone. They tell you one thing and do another, and have no regard for customer service or make any attempt to fix their wrongs or deliver on their promises. If you are considering them for an event, and have any questions about my experience, please feel free to reach out.

We just enjoyed an 8-day Summit with Gary's Loft as our venue - 32 global peace-making teens and 32…read moreglobal mentors and 32'ish other global team members and facilitators - making use of floor 11 and 12 (Penthouse) and occasionally the Rooftop (opening and closing ceremony days) - and wow - we all came away rejuvenated and smiling. For an event this long and this intense and with this many people - it is hard to find a "perfect space" in nyc. We have been hosting this annual event since 2008, and while it is true, no place is ever absolutely perfect (nor does it really have to be) - this place totally rocked. Large. Spacious. Clean. White walls (great for photos and videos). Bright. Beautiful ambience and decorations (almost like spending a week in someone's nifty home - with kitchen and library and family room and even laundry room decor and furniture). Trendy. Aiccessible (even for this power wheelchair user). Safe and secure. Well-staffed (with friendly folks - who allowed our teens a bit of bonus access to the rooftop on a lovely day - st no extra charge, but it provided them and a needed mid-week recharge during intensely long work days. Front door desk assistance. Working elevators. Space for us to bring in "a full kitchen" (really - 3 meals and 2 snacks home cooked each day by our team - representing global cuisine across the week!). And so much more... (including the nifty convenience of being just steps from our host hotel - Executive Le Soleil! Yes, there are a few tweakable this-and-thats I could offer. But those are more the type of things that our team and the Gary's Loft team can consider and tend to for future events (2020 Just Peace Summit - only 11 1/2 months away!). All in all - hats off and thumbs up to this space, and to the folks who helped us this week. #WeAreFamily. #ItBelongsOnYelp
