Caveat emptor...buyer beware…read more We really have no idea how these guys get the ratings they do. We are crushed by the disappointment in their service. We not only cannot recommend JPG, we would strongly caution against using them. In spite of planning together with the photographer and being clear about our intentions not to photograph the prep, we had to wait for them to set up after we were long ready. The 14 weeks from event to actual pictures were astonishing. Even more so after getting them and seeing just how little thought and effort went into their editing and "organization". Also - be prepared to be referred to your contract repeatedly. They will hold it up anytime you ask for something.

Choosing a photographer for a wedding is a big decision because your photos will be long-lasting…read moremementos of the day, and also because there are a lot of variables (style, quality, personality, price, etc.). We loved the photos we saw on JPG's website and their commitment to customers was clear from our very first conversation with Joe. We worked together to come up with a price/package that met our needs and chose Matt Bender as our primary photographer. Our engagement session gave us a chance to get to know Matt and for him to know us. When the big day came, we felt very comfortable with him and he (along with 2 other photographers) did a great job managing our family and bridal party for group shots. Many guests commented that our photographers were awesome throughout the evening. This skill should not be overlooked when you are evaluating a wedding photographer! In the end, we were thrilled with the quality and variety of pictures. The photo journalistic style captured the true essence of the day and there were a lot of really fun shots. To top it off, all of JPG's wedding packages include a DVD or thumb drive of high-res images with personal use rights - which means you have full flexibility when it comes to albums and prints. Bottom line: JPG brought the style, quality, and personality we were looking for at a competitive price. They were easy to work with from start to finish and we could not have been happier with the results.

Our little girl had her newborn session with Elanna a few months ago and we couldn't be happier…read morewith the way everything turned out. Elanna was extremely gentle, efficient and professional. I love her style. All the sets were tasteful and so well done. It was difficult to narrow down the final images to just fifteen (included in the package) so we purchased additional ones. The album is also worth the investment. The quality of the prints and the album itself are top notch. Make sure to book your session a few months before your due date to secure a spot with her.

I recently got baby photoshoot done by Elanna and I must say she is amazing with babies. Taking…read morepics of an infant is not an easy job and she did it so flawlessly. She was calm, gentle and very patient. She handled the baby so delicately and was so good with the baby. I got the pics captured in 4-5 different setups and they came out so beautifully. Loved all the props and outfits Elanna provided. We went to her studio for the photoshoot and its such a cute lil decor. I highly recommend Elanna for the photoshoots let it be baby photoshoot or pregnancy or first cake smash, she is awesome and good for the price you could get compared to other professional photographers.

I booked a couples boudoir session as a birthday gift for my husband -- something we've always…read moretalked about doing -- and the entire experience exceeded every expectation. From the start, Aliza's preparation guidance was incredible. Every detail was thoughtfully covered, which made me feel confident and ready going into the shoot. I also had my hair done by her stylist and absolutely loved both her and the final look -- such a great way to start the day feeling polished and pampered. In true real-life fashion, I accidentally brought the wrong bag of outfits... and my husband had to drive home to get the right one, which took over an hour. But honestly? It turned into a blessing in disguise. While he was gone, we did solo shots, and Aliza was amazing at calming my nerves and helping me ease into everything. I quickly felt comfortable, confident, and like the absolute sexiest version of myself. When my husband arrived, the energy completely shifted -- in the best way. The couples portion was so fun, intimate, and playful. It was such a special experience to share together, and I loved that I got the best of both worlds: a solo session and a couples session. The photos are stunning. I truly didn't know I could look that good. Aliza knows exactly how to guide you, pose you, and bring out your confidence -- she really works you, and it is 1000% worth it. She is the perfect balance of professional and personable, and the entire experience felt comfortable, empowering, and unforgettable. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

My experience with Lindsay was incredible!

Lindsay kept my husband and I relaxed throughout the day and totally at ease. Lindsay was attentive making sure all needs were met and that candid moments and group shots were captured. Oh, girlfriend broke it down at the end of the night on the dance floor!! Lindsay thank you so much for everything, you truly went above and beyond. If you're thinking about booking Lindsay for your wedding, DO IT!! I will absolutely use Lindsay for all future events and recommend her to all family and friends!

When we were planning our wedding, I knew that photography was important, but I had no idea that…read morethe photographer was just as important as the images they would create. You will probably spend more time with this person than any other vendor, and I am so glad we had the opportunity to get to know Lindsay. She was able to capture our experience of the wedding, as well as, all the wonderful moments we missed. We now have all the beautiful photos of the ceremony, formals and first dance, but also a priceless record of all of our friends and family who attended. She was able to do this because not only could she magically "disappear" when needed (she must have teleported around the ceremony), but is also very intuitive and can capture people's personalities. She was able to capture ours because we were incredibly comfortable around her. We got a vendor crush during the engagement session and liked her more and more. Lindsay is also great because she takes the photos that you want. She doesn't push you to take photos that are posed and cheesy, but knows better than you might (or I did) that some of the photos you don't think are important she will secretly snap. What more can I say? This woman is amazing.

Ade & Gina Studios delivered exactly what they promised and more. I hired them for a maternity and…read morefamily photoshoot less than a week before my sister's scheduled birth. Most of the other photographers I called could not accommodate me on such short notice, but Ade made it happen! He was polite, professional, patient, kind, caring, and great with the toddlers. Throughout the shoot, Ade often made suggestions and focused on what he could do to make the next shot even better than the one before. A true master of his craft. After the photoshoot, on our way to our vehicles near the water, Ade asked if we were willing to take just a few more shots as the sun went down; we said yes. Check out the photo section for an image of how Ade's vision was realized and perfectly depicted in my sister's photo. This company exceeded our expectations, and we are forever grateful for the memories Ade & Gina captured in a few hours that we can now cherish for a lifetime.

Since this was all a surprise to me, it was my first time meeting her and it took just a few moments for us to build a connection. Not only did she capture the big moment, but she also spent about an hour taking photos of us in the city. Before she began the photo shoot, she asked us about what kind of photos we wanted. When we told her we like candid shots, she made sure to keep that in mind and most of our photos are candids. I appreciate her willingness to take direction so that we could get what we wanted. If you're seeking a photographer in the Philadelphia area, Annie Hosfeld is a good choice. I'm very happy that my fiancé hired her to capture such a big moment in our lives! :)

From our first meeting, Annie, I knew you were the one!!! Then, we met for our engagement photos! The way you got Mike comfortable in front of the camera so quickly confirmed everything for me. You helped us organize a smooth schedule and thought of absolutely every little detail. When we left our final meeting with you I couldn't believe how quickly 2 1/2 hours passed with you. You had us so comfortable in your adorable home, we felt like we were chatting with an old friend! The day of the wedding you helped keep us calm and together in a way I never thought I could be as a bride. We were so impressed at the lengths you went to in order to get a great "shot". You did this in a way though that we didn't even realize you were there. You were both professional, classy and fun...in short...you are both TOP NOTCH at what you do!!! We can't wait to see your blog "teaser"! Thank you to both of you for helping to create a PICTURE perfect day!!!

Anyway, if you're looking for a boudoir photographer in Montco PA area, Mike Allebach is your guy. Made my man and I super comfy during the entire photo shoot. He was cool enough to play Rihanna's essential playlist per my request. I was definitely vibin' to my girl RiRi playing in the background while me and my man just kind of got into each other and Mike allowed (and helped guide) us to make some magic happen in front of the camera lens. If you're looking to do a boudoir shoot by yourself or with your guy, gal, or polynamorous mates... DO IT! I loved every second of the shoot and the final photo album. Def had me feelin' myself haha! Can't thank Mike enough for a great and unforgettable experience! His IG: @couplesboudoirguy

I chose to do a city hall wedding because - I cringe at the…read morethought of setting tables and picking flowers and making a big deal out of everything; - exchanging pleasantry with extended family and feigning interest all day felt like an even bigger chore; - I had to make an obnoxious political statement about millennials & fiscally responsible life choices & wedding industrial complex yada yada; - I have big time daddy issue and partly had the 'bullshit wedding' to troll my dad. but unconventional quirks aside, deep down every girl wanted to look conventionally pretty for that one special day. I was thrilled to find someone experienced in city hall weddings. Tom knows his way around the Philly city hall very well. He knows all the spots and angles, and if i hadn't been half an hour late for my 2 hr appointment (blaming it on the pouring rain/highway traffic) he was planning on going to a beautiful park nearby for more pictures. we got solid 90 minutes of pictures. my friend took pictures from the same angles and we saw those pictures immediately and thought they turned out really well - until we saw the professionally edited ones!
