Sarah did a beyond exceptional job for photographing our Winter Rustic Surprise Wedding last month!…read moreShe has a great eye for photos with a very fun personality that was friendly and professional. We loved her sophisticated yet fun pics from her past portfolios as why we chose her. Her second shooter she hired also was very professional and friendly as well. During our wedding formals she was very patient and we didn't feel rushed or pressure from her when we had our moments with trying to pin the boutonnières and my dress taking a little longer to bustle than we anticipated. We would def recommend her talent for any professional photos one would need for! Her editing is beautiful. I can't stop looking at my photos and can't wait to see the rest!! You won't be disappointed! Photos are def the best investment you make during your wedding whether it's an elopement or a 200 person wedding.

Adding this review to the knot for visibility due to the fact I still get messages about this…read morephotographer scamming other brides:  I used Sarah Elizabeth Photography NJ (Sarah.Elizabeth.PhotographyNJ) for our wedding August 2025. I do not recommend for multiple reasons.  First being lack of communication, I would go weeks-months without a response. I saw this mentioned in some reviews, however those reviews also noted that they received good pictures at the end and chalked it up to her being a busy photographer.  My package included a boudoir or engagement session, I chose the boudoir session as we live in Florida and I planned to do the boudoir session while in NJ for my bridal shower. I coordinated my hair trial, make up, nails, bought new lingerie and accessories for the shoot. I arrived at her home/studio, texted to let her know I arrived, with no response, I called and when she answered she let me know the session was supposed to be cancelled due to flooding in her studio. At this point we had a conversation and she assured me communication would be better and I would be reimbursed from the boudoir costs. I made the decision to continue with her as my photographer since this happened in June and wedding would be in august. Come wedding day, she arrived solo. I paid extra for second shooter. Another person arrived shortly after, however that person was there to hold the camera. The 2nd person told my mom that she was there to "help out" and therefore she did not provide 2nd shooter POV. Due to this, everything felt rushed, we missed out on photos that I had requested because Sarah was doing all photos herself and the photos we do have are from one perspective, rather than having photos of both of our faces while reading vows we have the back of my head and his face or vice versa. Everything was rushed because Sarah could only do one group at a time, so while she was doing groomsmen pics I wasn't doing anything, and vice versa.  I have no idea what time she left the venue, which is not a big deal but we had discussed a timeline in order to get pictures in the venue and during golden hour, none of this happened, most likely due to her being the only shooter. I have no photos of me and my husband in our venue (The Mansion on Main Street) , which was absolutely gorgeous. Didn't get any photos with my grandmother which I requested. Idk what the point of me sending the shot list was. We don't even have a creative detail shot/flat lay when I laid everything out on the table to be included. Moving forward to the pictures we received, I've honestly avoided really looking at them after initially receiving and I'm just so disappointed. I'm fairly certain she sent me every single picture she snapped irregardless of it being compete trash/blurry. There were no attempts to edit past a pre-set that must've been applied to all the photos (ex:bright yellow curb markings, scaffolding, portapotties) and some of the shots look like the camera was crooked.  If you read this far, I'm assuming you are considering her as your photographer. Just remember, wedding day pictures are once in a lifetime - you cannot get those shots again.

The absolute best photographer on the market! We used…read moreSharyn for our engagement photos. We loved the photos and working with her so much we booked her for the wedding too! Both her and her second shooter were amazing! Not only was she the photographer for the wedding but she also created the entire timeline and kept everyone right on track. Way more than I thought a photographer was required to do. Above and beyond! I'm of the mind that the photos are the most important part of a wedding. That's how we will look back and remember it. These are what we will show our kids. So there are no regrets here. We chose the best for the best day of our lives!

We used Sharyn Frankel and her team for our wedding. She is extremely organized and professional…read more Sharyn went above and beyond to ensure our day ran smoothly. She met with us at the venue before the wedding to scope out shot locations, and the day of she brought 2 additional photographers. During the formal portraits Sharyn was prepared with a list of need and want photos and expertly coordinated them all easily with her team. We received over 1000 well framed, naturally colored and styled photos after our wedding. She also included a significant number of black and white copies which were gorgeous and looked just like film. I was very picky about choosing a photographer because I have a some background with photography myself, but Sharyn and her team exceeded expectations. I would highly recommend Sharyn Frankel Photography for any occasion.

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.

I first came to Melanie Rodriguez Photography to get maternity pictures taken, she came highly…read morerecommended by dear friends of mine. They were outstanding pictures and I will continue to rave about them and Melanies creativity because it is well deserved. She knows all the best locations and has such great ideas and angles for her photo's. Once I had my daughter, Melanie came to the hospital and took personal and preciouse newborn photos for me, she also now takes monthly photos of my daughter and she is so great with her. There is no other photographer I would go to or recommend then Melanie. She takes the time to talk with you and really find out what you want to capture in your special moments. Top notch!!!

She was so creative!!! She really incorporated the season and surrounding beauty into each and every photograph she took, while still listening to our suggestions and taking everything into consideraton. At the reception, you didn't even notice she was there! She took all of her photos without disturbing anyone and documented the special day with talent and grace. I would reccommend her to anyone for their wedding-especially for you ladies and gents getting married in the fall! Thank you Melanie!

Alyssa Maloof is a rockstar! We stumbled upon her work while googling images of our venue. My…read moreartsy fartsy husband instantly fell in love with Alyssa's website and online portfolio. After an incredibly generous offer on a 6 hour wedding package & engagement photo session, we booked our dream photographer. One of the best decisions ever! I could go on and on about how promptly Alyssa responded to emails/ calls, or her professional online invoicing system, or how easy it was to schedule our engagement session, but I'd rather focus on the emotional aspect of Alyssa's work. Some background -- my husband and I have been together for 11 years, we have an endless supply of inside jokes, and we love living in Philadelphia. Alyssa has an artistic eye, an amazing ability to work with light, and a familiarity with the city we call home. Our City Hall/ Dilworth Park engagement session with Alyssa was so fun! She kept things loose and light. Her hand gestures and silent communication while shooting kept us laughing and led to beautiful, natural photos. There were several moments during our wedding when I needed to take a break to rest my back. Alyssa stuck with us when we took our down time and we ended up having some great conversations -- letting her in on some of our jokes, my recurring whale dream, and the story of how we first met. We truly felt comfortable with Alyssa. Ten days later, we received about a dozen teaser photos. She captured our happiest moments in such unique and artistic light. We're thrilled with what we've seen so far and can't wait to see our entire portfolio of pictures. We highly recommend Alyssa Maloof Photography and would absolutely work with her in the future!

Can't even begin to explain how thrilled I am with our wedding photos. Everyone was absolutely in…read moreshock at how beautiful they turned out. Alyssa has a great personality, on top of her amazing photography skills. Almost everyone said they barely noticed her there, and yet she captured so many moments I don't think any other photographer would have been able to get. And she does it solo!!! No annoying crew but she's a million times better than even an entourage would have been. She directed us enough to get flattering and gorgeous shots, but also also managed to get candids that were just as spectacular. And her directions weren't annoying or too particular, just easy pointers or suggestions, so all the photos are genuine and true to your own personality. Highly recommend!!!

More importantly, she has a unique eye for capturing the perfect angles to create a magical atmosphere and a wonderful flair for using bold colors. She's easy to talk to and will make you comfortable even if you're shy in front of the camera. We had a wonderful photoshoot on a very cold day last week and Helena worked overtime to capture as many shots as possible without any complaints. We received all of our pictures online way ahead of the promised timeframe. They were beautiful and high quality. Now we can't wait to schedule our next session. So glad we stumbled upon her listing online. Highly recommend!

TL;DR: I proposed to my girlfriend in May of 2019 at a Museum in Philadelphia, and Helena was our…read morephotographer. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and is dedicated to her craft with tremendous passion around delivering works of art. Helena Raju Photography is one of the the best decisions I made for our very special occasion! *********** When I decided that I wanted to hire a professional photographer to capture the moment I proposed to my girlfriend [ now fiance ;) ], I knew that I wanted the absolute best. It's difficult to put a price on a once in a lifetime experience, and so I did my due diligence of researching, calling/vetting photographers as much as I could, and then researching some more. About a month out from the proposal, I came across Helena's website and bookmarked her immediately after seeing some of her work -- they were crisp, detailed, and filled with life. I e-mailed Helena on a Saturday and within 1 hour she responded that she was free on May 11th, 2019. We were set! The day of the shoot, Helena arrived early and worked with myself and the rest of the museum staff to get everything ready/position herself to 'blend in' with atmosphere. I'll note that there's a lot of moving pieces when you're trying to pull off an ultimate proposal (i.e., renting a museum, flying family members in, hiding the family members, working with the museum staff to put on a "fake museum tour" where instead of an art painting, your girlfriend is instead is led to you and asked if she wants to spend the rest of her life with you, etc.). Helena captured EVERY MOMENT of this experience in spectacular fashion. She then spent extra time with us after the proposal leading us around the museum and taking more pictures in various angles and locations. I was incredibly impressed by the extra mile that she took to make sure that we took full advantage of our big day. What I loved most about working with Helena is that she is just so down-to-earth; her high level of empathy and ability to adapt to her customers' expectations and environments is what makes working with her so special. We've had several friends shed tears from just looking at our engagement pictures, and we are still blown away at the portfolio of our engagement delivered by Helena. She's amazing, guys!

I cannot say enough good things about Carly or her work. She recently shot my wedding and my…read moreengagement shoot. She is super responsive via email, which I really appreciate, and is ALWAYS on time. Carly is really bubbly and puts you instantly at ease. My husband is super shy and hates photos and she made him feel comfortable and he looks so happy in every photo - I expected him to look annoyed after about the first five minutes. She really listens to what is and is not important to you about your photos - I made it super clear I wanted photos to go quickly and didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. I asked for one specific photo, and she not only got everything I asked for, she paid close attention to make sure she was adhering to what I DIDN'T want too. Our photos went by super quickly, without drama, and everyone was happy. She also noticed that when my flowers arrived the morning of the wedding incorrectly and I was scowling at them, she quickly hid them in a closet so I stopped getting upset. The BIGGEST HOLY GOD thing about Carly is how QUICK she is to turn around your photos. I had my engagement photos within a week, and a preview of "the" photo I wanted from my wedding the next day. I had a selection of photos (a few dozen) about a week after the wedding and ALL of them a few days after that. It may have even been less time than that, but I was on my honeymoon and not entirely sure when I got them because my service was so crappy I couldn't download them and was really bummed about it. My photos were even better than I ever imagined. They are GORGEOUS. Carly really captured what makes us "us". She's a delight to work with and absolutely fantastic at what she does. PLUS her prices are SUPER reasonable. I will use her for literally everything I ever can...she's AMAZING.
