We hired Vinny for our wedding and he was great. After a friend recommended him I reach out and he…read moresent me his packages. He was perfect for our budget so we set up a meeting. He made us feel at eased and made the appointment informative and right away we knew we wanted to hire him. The day of the wedding he showed up on time and was very professional. He took tons of pictures but was never in the way. He had told me the pictures would take 8 weeks but to my surprise we got them 4 weeks after our wedding which it was a great one month anniversary present. We got all the footage (raw and edited). It was great to see all the images of our wedding. If you are looking for a wedding photographer then I would recommend you give him a call.

FUTURE BRIDES listen. If you want someone who communicates…read morelike ur worst ex boyfriend and if you want to be running down ur photographer to contact him . Book him. I read every review before booking someone. Based off the reviews I chose Vinny as a wedding photographer which I REGRET. The main issue of regret is the unprofessionalism. Prior to booking him he was very professional. After paying him a deposit (Aka he got half of his MONEY$$$$$$$) That's when It went downhill from there :(((( We booked the top package BTW! Let's Start off with engagement shoot. It was impossible to reach him. ( See text for proof) - I was reaching out to him for the name of the spots for the engagement shoot - I reached out on several occasions thru text NO RESPONSE.!! I understand everyone is busy, so I patiently waited..but my lasered coochie hair grows faster than his response. He ends up not responding thru text so then I call. guess what?? He doesn't answer. After no avail I end up asking my husband to call him to figure out where will the engagement shoot will be. After finally figuring out a location for the engagement shoot. The day of the engagement shoot he texts that he cannot make it since his mother in the hospital. THIS I UNDERSTAND because everyone knows MOMMA Love comes first. But where is his contingency plan. I asked if he had an associate photographer to attend the engagement shoot because I booked my non refundable deposits for hair and makeup and both me and my husband took off of work. He ends up saying he will come but the lack of COMMUNICATION was lackingggggg. Ok so let's skip to wedding day. I will give him brownie points for being on time and getting the job done. But once again it's like communicating with wall. We were suppose to get at least three photos for a wedding teaser. We KNOW QUALITY WORK TAKES TIME. But all he sends is one photo. When other couples got at least three teaser photos. Then he sends the final wedding photo FOUR MONTHS LATER. THE editing time was not the Issue. THE Lack of communication was the issue. A simple text of saying Sorry there will be a delay in wedding photos because we are overwhelmed would be adequate and give people a time estimate. But no like a toxic ex boyfriend he just responds Hey and gives the link for the photos. And does not even respond to my husbands text message. Simple communication and professionalism goes a longgggggg way. I would not recommend Vinny to anybody because he cannot communicate. It does not matter about the photos if your dealing with an unprofessional. It's no excuse. HIRE a competent secretary to communicate with ur clients. Because Vinny is incapable of reaching out to his clients. You pay $7000 for a wedding package at least you would think you would get communication tossed in with it. BOOK SOMEONE ELSE ladies leave the TOXICITY in 2022. P.S. This is an unbiased review

She made our wedding day extra special by capturing all the special people in our life in a way that didn't feel clichéd and that made sure that everyone had fun. Her high energy and even keel also helped to keep our wedding day on schedule. And she really is a gymnast -- climbing on precarious ledges and standing in the middle of the street -- all to get the perfect shot. We also really appreciated our engagement session with Bethany. We hadn't planned to do one, but were so glad we did so that we could get to know each other and practice posing. The day we scheduled ended up raining, but nevertheless, Bethany's shots were creative and beautifully lit. On top of all of this, Bethany is just a pleasure to know -- kind, funny, and genuine. I can't tell you the number of wedding guests who specifically commented to me that our photographer was the best that they'd encountered, and that her energy quickly made everyone feel at ease when posing. Bethany's photos perfectly captured the moods of each part of the day and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!

Bethany Bandera was the photographer for our wedding on May 21, 2011. Photography was my number…read moreone priority for my wedding day and it was the first item I confirmed & checked off my long "to do" list. This, however, was easy because I was familiar with Bethany's work from when I lived in Brooklyn. Bethany has an eye for the simple, yet beautiful moments that can take your breath away. In any given situation she has the quickness to be almost anywhere and everywhere when these moments take place. This would be important for my wedding because it was an intimate setting, but took place in a rather large backyard space. During the wedding ceremony, Bethany was like an invisible assassin- never seen but always around capturing the most amazing shots at interesting angles. During the photo session, her energy was high - she kept everyone laughing and smiling as she organized group portraits. Everyone remained relaxed and enjoyed themselves even though we had a timeline before the reception. This was reflected in our family photos. During the reception, Bethany captured all the festivities, our friends and family co-mingling, people dancing and kids playing together. She was everywhere at once. I had told her I wanted the day to be documented in photojournalism style. And that she did. After the wedding, when I received our photos I was so happy to relive the day but from a different perspective- from that of an attendee. With a soft lens and her own sweet intuition, Bethany didn't just take photos she really captured the "magical" feeling of the whole day. That was my number one priority. Done. I highly recommend Bethany Bandera for your wedding! She listened to everything I said I wanted and then... even surpassed my expectations! Top shelf results, light on her feet, personable, professional and organized... and of course, photographs that really are timeless. Check her out yourself!

The rise of apps like instagram have helped to fuel the common misconception that "anyone can take a photo", however, take one look at Lazarro's impressive portfolio and you'll quickly understand how he's a step above the rest. It takes a patient eye and true talent to capture the moments that are unique to live music. His impressive list of clients speaks for itself - there's a reason that massive names like Insomniac Entertainment and Armin Van Buuren have enlisted Freedom Film's services time and time again.

The pride he takes in his assignments, paired with his perseverance and fun-loving attitude make him one of the top contenders in the game.

She was flexible with times, dates and locations. She made some excellent recommendations for sites and times to give the best lighting. She also recommended clothing combinations that allow for great shots. She promised 20 minutes for her session and allowed for a quick clothing change in her contract. In person, she actually gave a bit more time and allowed me to change my toddler midway through for a completely different look. The best part about it was her personality. I have a little boy who on a drop of a dime could go from Dr Jekyll and turn into Mr Hyde and back again before you could blink an eye. She not only managed to Keep the calm Dr Jekyll around through the whole session but got him to genuinely smile. I can't wait to have her do our holiday photos. Last year she got Santa and Mrs Claus and a real-life Reindeer.
