We absolutely LOVED Kevin and could not have asked for any more!! From the very beginning, his…read moreromantic, natural candid style impressed me so much that his sample photos stood out among the 50+ photographer websites I looked through. When we spoke for the first time, even on very short notice, he was super polite, professional, good-natured, very reasonable w our budget, and willing to do extra research into additional sites in the area. He struck us as hard-working and professional, yet someone nice and fun that we would be very comfortable with on our big day. The day of, he exceeded our (already high) expectations-- he was absolutely wonderful. Nice, calm, fun, blended in, self-sufficient, and there for every single moment we wanted captured. Even for the getting ready pictures, he blended right in w my best friends being part of the supportive, calming, and fun environment without adding any stress. His ideas for shots ranged from classic, elegant, artistic, romantic, sweet, fun, playful-- all very natural and beautiful. After the wedding he kept us posted on his (very efficient) timeline, and sent us the completed products w a lovely note and candy-- very like him to add a sweet personal touch. The photos just AMAZED us. His work w the colors, lighting, people's expressions, his ability to capture all the happiness of the moment in just one shot is just incredible. We had an amazing day and thanks to Kevin, we have the ability to look through beautiful photos and relive each moment all over again. We absolutely recommend him with no reservations.

We felt so comfortable with them during our photo session and they kept us laughing the whole time. We got our sneak peeks two weeks after our big day and they came out BEAUTIFUL! They perfectly captured our joy and the beautiful fall foliage. They ensured that they got every shot that we asked for and even captured so many details that I didn't even think to mention! We have received so many compliments on how great they were during the day, and endless comments on how beautiful the pictures are. To say I am obsessed is an understatement. We are already thinking about what future events we can have Picture This be a part of! We will be highly recommending them to all. We cannot thank Cara and Anthony enough for making our day so special and for capturing these beautiful memories.

Cate was great for our wedding! She understood what my spouse and I were talking about when we told…read moreher about being a queer and polyamorous couple, and that our wedding wasn't going to have a lot of the traditional elements (like a ceremony, first look, first dance, wedding attendants, cake-cutting, etc.) - it was a relief to get to describe what we wanted to a vendor who was part of the community and familiar with different kinds of queerness and relationships. She made sure to ask about who in our party was out, and to what degree, just in case a sticky situation arose. Cate managed to capture both formal portraits and nice-looking outtakes from in-between formal portraits; got photos of all our guests, and took a lot of candid photos from the dance floor without us even realizing she was there until we saw the album afterwards. She captured all of the detail shots that we had asked for, and innovated a couple of her own that were much appreciated. Both of us have terrible memories, and rely heavily on photographs to remember even really important events. Cate understood this and did a great job photographing things so that we would be able to remember them without worrying. We paid for six hours of just Cate working, which included time spent on the formal photographs, and resulted in just over 700 photos processed and sent to us far faster than we had expected! I think it took her a month or two less than her estimated timeline. Her rate isn't cheap, but she was absolutely worth it, and we were happy to have her working for us for the day! She's been enthusiastic the whole way through, great at adjusting on the fly, and stellar about following up with us. (This review is for our wedding a year and a half ago - I just found the draft I'd written in 2023 and realized I never posted it anywhere!)

From the moment we reached out to inquire about her availability, Cate has been super responsive and we could tell she was genuinely interested in our story as well as how we wanted to tell that story through photos. The session went as well as I could have imagined - Cate made us feel so comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera by connecting with us, listening to our wishes and offering so many ways for us to relax, focus on each other and feel pretty. And the final photos! are! gorgeous! The intimate vibe we loved and wanted to capture is there in our photos, but it also feels unique to us and isn't just a replica of Cate's previous work. There isn't a photo in which we faked our smiles - they're all eye-squinting nose-wrinkling happy laughs and giggles and tender moments because we had that much fun during our session. Her edits were beautiful and when I had an additional request, she was very accommodating as well. Now my only regret is that our wedding isn't remotely close to Connecticut so that we could have Cate as our photographer. She's amazing at what she does and if you have a chance to work with her, I'd 100% go for it.

One of our parents found Jaime Glez photography for our wedding. We didn't shop around at all, and…read morewe had no idea what to expect! Jaime and Maria were amazing. They made sure we got all the important photos, captured first look, and were just so incredibly kind. Multiple people in our wedding party commented later on how nice they were.

I don't want to post any photos of us or our guests here, but here is a picture of our dog that Jaime captured, instead. :)

Not totally sure where to begin, but let's just say Jesse is a master of his craft, and is simply…read morean amazing photographer. I found out about Jesse after one of my friends posted her engagement photos - they were breathtaking. Then I also noticed his photos were on a comedian's Instagram whom I follow - John Mulaney. I knew he was our guy before even meeting him. I reached out to him to strictly do our engagement shoot first, and it was perfect. We wanted a winter, snowy shoot and he worked us on the timing and location. He made it so easy! Jesse's style is effortless and he makes you feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera. We had an amazing session and after getting our photos back (he doesn't hold any photo back, FYI - they are all yours) we told him we wanted to book him for our wedding and as soon as we had the date, we secured him. For nearly a year and a half, we had him booked because we didn't want to lose him! Over that time, we communicated on timelines of the day, recommendations on various things, and technical details. He didn't leave any thought unsaid and it made for a day that flowed and provided us everything we would ever want! On our wedding day, Jesse was as professional as they come. You barely knew he was there when we were getting ready, and worked well with all the different personality types in our bridal party. We adventured through town and found some incredible places to shoot! And through our ceremony and reception, he was there for all the right moments, showed discretion where necessary, and blended right in to the fold. Without a doubt, Jesse was by far our golden snitch of vendors, and we are so fortunate to have had the chance to work with him and recommend him to all!

I thought they were absolutely stunning and that his work managed to capture the tender moments of such a special day so effortlessly and beautifully. We didn't end up booking Onteora, but I knew we had to book Jesse! When I showed my now-husband Jesse's work, we felt like we were there with the couples and the families - we could feel the magic of the beautiful occasion in a way we just could not with a lot of other wedding photographers. We also loved the way that he paired these couples with the gorgeous landscapes of the natural elements around them. From reading other online reviews about him, we really liked that many people said they felt that they almost didn't know he was there, but that they were left with photographs that perfectly captured their love. We were pretty much sold on Jesse before we even got on the phone with him -- yet, somehow things got better and better from there! Jesse's a breath of fresh air; just a really, really great guy. He managed to take two people who aren't too great at being the center of attention, and somehow make them feel relaxed and comfortable about being in front of the camera for an entire day. After we got off the phone with Jesse, my now-husband and I looked at each other and just knew he was the guy. Our engagement session was amazing -- just my then-fiancé, me and Jesse out in the middle of the Pine Barrens. I left the session feeling so excited about our choice in photographer. And when the photos came?! INCREDIBLE. Jesse made the wedding planning process a breeze. We booked him well in advance (about a year and a half before our wedding date), but Jesse maintained the conversation with us by email and on social media the entire time. He is professional, punctual and organized, and had us feeling well-prepared the few days before our wedding (which is hard to do during such a stressful time!). We trusted him to make it great! The big day was absolutely magical. Jesse shot our wedding solo, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once the entire day! He was warm and friendly to all of our family and friends; his great personality and sense of humor had everyone at ease from getting ready, to the first look, to family photos, to the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, all night long. Our family couldn't stop telling us throughout the day what a great guy Jesse is, and how comfortable he made them feel. It rained the morning of our wedding day, and I'll be forever thankful to Jesse for convincing us to take the tent down when the sun started peeking out right before our ceremony. (Aside from my own husband, I've never trusted a guy more!) Jesse got the photos to us amazingly fast, and we decided to have a little "viewing party" with our immediate family. Even though we knew he'd be fantastic, his work just BLEW US AWAY. The photos took us on an emotional journey, telling the story of our wedding in the most beautiful way. As we were going through the photos, there was laughter, there were tears, there were exclamations of "how did he get that shot?" and "wow, I didn't even know he was there!" -- and there were sequences where we just sat there in complete silence, in utter awe at what we were viewing on the screen. These photos are truly works of art, treasures of captured memories to cherish forever. There are no words to describe how grateful we are to Golden Hour Studios for making our wedding day nothing less than absolutely perfect.

The photos were elegant, and sharp, and he truly captured the feeling, and crowd, and the fun of their wedding. When we started planning our wedding in 2013, I didn't even research other photographers. I got in touch with John, first, hoping he could work with us, and would work with us. He got back to me immediately, and even remembered us from the wedding in 2012--of course my husband was the best man, so it helped :-)--and although he was working on a project in Africa, he was happy to talk to us about our needs, and the estimates and dates, etc. We actually wanted something a bit unique in terms of a wedding photographer, and a special type of package. He was so happy to accommodate, and work with our needs. Being so busy before the big day, it was wonderful to receive an email from John confirming the when and where's. On the day, John was early, and immediately went to work capturing every second, and interesting visual. As the bride, I didn't even feel him there, although when I saw the photos, he was EVERYWHERE. And captured every moment...so many more moments than I could have ever been aware of. There were some photos that were so amazing of guests at the wedding that we had them printed and framed for them. Of course there were so may wonderful portraits of us, the bride and groom, and the family, (although let's be honest...always a bit scary to look at so many pictures of yourself...:-) that we are still realizing that we need another printed, and another, and another. After the wedding, we received our photos and package from John within a few weeks!! It was amazing! I feel like we were a bit luckier than most, because John is a multi-purpose photographer...commercial work, magazine covers, large events, and we were able to snag him for our wedding. I would recommend him, and have recommended him for all important events, and even family portraits, or special events. I would be thrilled to work with him again, and am happy to know that he has a new office just down the road from us! Thank you John!!

He was so enthusiastic....and his work so beautiful...that I made a mental note in case I had any need for a photographer in the future. When my husband turned 50, we decided to host his extended family of 26 people ranging in age from 1 to 91 at a local hotel named Mohonk. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture our children with their cousins and all 6 of their grandparents. In an absolute stroke of luck, John was available the Saturday I needed him because he was shooting a Friday night wedding that weekend. John brought a lovely assistant, who also had a camera and took beautiful shots from angles very different from John's. He met us at 3 pm down by the beach and took casual, fun and lively pictures. Then after a brief break to clean up, we all met for the more formal pictures. He came up with some really creative ways to include the physical beauty of the resort into the pictures. There are pictures on the balconies, throughout the gardens and even spread out within the garden taken from up high. After we finished the formal portraits, he stayed to take candids at a cocktail party, lobster bake and bonfire. The pictures are beyond stunning and he was incredibly fun and easy to work with. He shoots in a way that focuses on smaller interactions and emotional moments. Absolutely recommended without a moment's hesitation!!!
