I recently planned a proposal to my girlfriend in Newport, RI and reached out to Stefy to book a…read morephotographer based on other positive reviews. I never imagined how much of an impact having a professional & experienced photographer there to capture the moment, but boy am I glad I thought to book Stefy. My now fiance had no idea, and the exact moment and pure joy on both our parts that followed was perfectly captured. We then spent about an hour making the most of the sunlight provided with Stefy walking us through dozens of different shots that would serve as the perfect engagement photos. Throughout the planning process Stefy was always very responsive and willing to offer suggestions about when and where to pop the question. After the whirlwind of a shoot, Stefy was even then willing to meet us at her studio the very next morning to review the edited photos and walk us through the process of building an album that she would create & order for us. This album will stay in our home forever and we're so grateful we had Stefy to capture this moment forever as a beautiful love story.

Stefy is an absolutely incredible artist! Not only is she super talented, but she is fun,…read morepersonable, patient, and kind. From planning our wedding during Covid to having to postpone 3 times, Stefy was there every step of the way with us. She even traveled all the way to Nantucket to do our engagement photos (which she made so easy and lighthearted for two people who aren't super comfortable in front of the camera!). Stefy always kept an open line of communication, checking in with us throughout the entire wedding planning and (re-planning!) process. She was so accommodating to our forever changing schedule. Stefy captured our Newport wedding day perfectly and we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. Even on the big day, the weather did not cooperate but you would never know by looking at our photos. Stefy found a nearby gazebo so that we could still capture the outdoor element in our photos while remaining sheltered from the rain. They are truly some of our favorite photos that we will hold close to our hearts forever. Stefy is a truly gifted artist and we highly recommend her for all of life's special moments!

Allan was fantastic! I accidentally ended up interviewing over a dozen photographers. Didn't mean…read moreto, just kind of got carried away. We chose him hands-down over all the others. Why did we pick Allan? First, we loved his blended photographic style of 'lifestyle' and 'documentary'. It gave our pictures a candid and spontaneous "in the moment" perspective with an approachable and relaxed feel. Allan was responsive to all of our communications, very easy to work with, incredibly knowledgeable of the geographic area and actually recommended the spot we used for the wedding as well as for subsequent picture locations. He was friendly, prompt, flexible and affordable compared to others who wanted 2-3 times as much and whose pictures were not as good as Allan's. He wasn't the least expensive or the most, he was right on the money (pun kind of intended). He provided us with hundreds of final pictures (this was fantastic!), posted them on a web gallery and made the whole event very easy for us. And, captured it beautifully. I would highly recommend Allan to anyone wanting to capture an important event in a natural, lifestyle type format - he definitely has the eye and is a great person to work with!

Penny is a dedicated and hard working individual. She has years and years of experience doing what…read moreshe does and she is very straight forward and makes sure she gets the job done. You never have to feel lost or confused on your busy, sometimes stressful day. She will make sure you get the results you want. We met with her twice before our June 2018 wedding and she met us halfway between her home in RI and our home in CT, armed with plenty of her work to show us ad help us customize the perfect package for our wants, needs and budget. Her packages are really good deals as far as what they include and what they cost. I was amazed by the price compared to many other highly priced photographers. Her work is quality and she gets it done quick. We had previews the next morning, and the full album in less than 2 weeks. You get full access to all the photos online, a flashdrive with all the pictures, and the ability for your family and friends to logon and get download pictures too, among any other idea you may come up with that you want to include in your package. I had taken ideas from other photographers packages that were more expensive, and Penny was able to include those ideas in ours for the better price. You can't go wrong with using Penny for your photography needs.
