We found Toni on a whim. My fiancée was randomly chatting up the owner of one of her favorite shops…read moreand she had recently gotten married, and when she showed her wedding shots, my fiancée was in love with them. The only wedding photos I had ever seen were the classic over the top style with saturated colors and the "deep love" poses, and Toni's photos really stood out to us both. I always wanted something more natural but still beautiful. The only thing that made me nervous is I didn't know her - most of my friends and family used the same wedding photographer and we were going off the typical path. But we could not have been more happy with Toni! The experience started with an amazing engagement shoot that came with the package. Not only was she wonderful, punctual, and professional, but the shots came out amazing. We used them for our save the dates and people loved them, and it set the tone for what the wedding was going to be like. It also made up the majority of our wedding website. Throughout the wedding process, Toni kept in touch and discussed what we wanted on our wedding day. And on the day of, she was an all star. Again punctual and professional, and her second shooter was as well. But she also kept us feeling calm, happy, and enjoying the moment. She stayed on task and remembered what shots we wanted even in the chaos of the moment. Toni's photos were so natural and yet still made us look amazing, way better than I've ever photographed before hahaha. We just got the digital prints back, and my productivity has gone down at least 50% because I just keep looking at the pics instead of staying on task! Not only can my wife and I recommend her as a photographer, but also as someone we now consider a friend. Five stars!! More if I could!

No need to worry if you aren't used to being in front of a camera, she's amazing at capturing people in more formal or casual settings and making everyone feel comfortable.

I hired Pdot for my sister's May 2018 wedding. Pdot arrived late, which we overlooked and made…read moreaccommodations for. We all gathered at a restaurant for lunch and invited her on us, drinks included. We began taking pictures. There was no sense of direction by the photographer, she seemed lost and unorganized. My sister and her husband decided to take pictures on the Brooklyn Bridge and surrounding areas. As far as payment goes, 50% deposit was placed at the time of booking and paid in full when she showed up for the wedding, which I greatly regret. I constantly had to text message Pdot for the images which she always had an excuse as to why my pictures weren't ready. I asked on a couple of occasions for simply my money back, and when I did she would email me a handful of pictures at a time. The pictures that she actually forward me were low-quality, very shiny, and just a disappointment. She is not professional and I honestly regret booking her for such a special occasion.

We will be forever grateful to Mia and the team for the beautiful work they did on our wedding day…read more From our first phone call, we knew there was something special about Mia and we instantly clicked. The thoughtful, organic approach to every single shot was impeccable and there wasn't a single moment that felt forced. There's an art to making someone feel comfortable in front of the camera and that is Mia's specialty. The photos we received are incredible and we now have beautifully captured memories from the best day of our lives. We highly recommend Mia and the team for any of your photo & video needs. Mia is the best photographer that we have ever worked with and their creativity has no limits.

Not only is she extremely professional but she has the most infectious personality. By the time it came to the wedding she felt like family.She worked with us through all the covid-19 ups and downs. She went above and beyond to get the best shots and worked with us on our vision. For the engagement shoot she came with us to the beach and then a carnival for a unique shoot and the photos are incredible. At the wedding she kept me calm when I was scared about the weather and kept me positive lol. I can not recommend her enough. We are so grateful we found her and I could not have been happier with our photos and experience. We want to get married again just so we can re-hire her. Love her so much

Hire Monkeys & Peas! After extensive research for both a maternity shoot and newborn shoot, I…read moresettled on working with Monkey's & Peas. I loved the representation of their work on their website and felt like they would be able to capture the types of images my husband and I were interested in. I put in a request online for information and heard back within 24 hours from Trina. She called me to answer questions and explain their packages. This phone call immediately set her apart from the other photographers I had reached out and I appreciated the phone call as opposed to a form email or the reiteration of website language into an email. Unfortunately due to scheduling issues, we weren't able to work with her for the maternity shoot but as my due date approached I made sure to contact Trina and schedule our newborn session. This is where she won me over all over again. In our conversation, Trina explained to me in detail how the shoot would work and what to expect. I felt immediately at ease when she explained that sometimes the shoots are challenging and if we faced any challenges with the baby, not to panic, she would reschedule to come back on another day. I thought this was amazing and showed her understanding of how to work with her subjects as well as how to manage new parents. She booked two dates with me in accordance to my due date and we planned to be in touch when I delivered. For the shoot, Trina came to our apartment (her suggestion and no extra cost) which helped us tremendously since the baby was only 6 days old! She was just as lovely in person as over the phone - very professional, careful, respectful and so gentle with the baby. She brought with her some props and a backdrop so once we decided on our set ups, we were able to start the shoot. I can't express enough what a pleasure she was to work with. My husband and I both felt totally comfortable with her energy - her skill set was obvious in her handling of the baby and when we needed breaks, she almost seemed to disappear to give us privacy and time to soothe the baby. I knew as the shoot was happening that the photos would be phenomenal because of how relaxed we all felt. Our proofs came exactly 2 weeks after the shoot (as promised) and they did not disappoint. Trina captured some of the most amazing images of our family. I truly loved them all. We are beyond thrilled with our experience as well as the results. I'm so happy that we decided to work with her and would highly recommend to anyone looking to do this type of shoot or other family shoots. I am sure we will work with her again soon.

WOW! Wow! Wow!…read more There are a LOT of maternity and baby photographers out there, but so much of what is offered is pretty cookie cutter. Monkey's and Peas really stood out! And boy are we glad we went with them. What they managed to capture of our family and our daughter was a really intimate view into our lives and her tiny magical world. All of the photos are just drenched in lovely ambient light and have a really dreamy cast to them that qualifies this time of our lives and our baby's. I've never seen my baby laugh so much for so long, Monkeys and Peas knew all the tricks! Both super professional and efficient with the time we had, which are two hard descriptives to apply when photographing babies, M & P guided us towards the right outfit choices, the right places in our home and a variety of lighting situations. Monkeys and Peas has gifted us with the most amazing photos of our daughter and our family!

I spoke with a few co-workers, looked in NY Magazine, did my due diligence. After reaching out to William, I heard back extremely quickly, I felt much more comfortable. I'm used to wedding vendors and such trying to push their vision and not listen to what it is that I actually wanted. Willam was the complete opposite. He listened, asked specific questions when necessary, but at the end of our conversation I knew he understood what it was that I needed. I knew there was no need for me to be concerned. When I was quoted an 8 week delivery I was a little disappointed. It was my big day, I was excited. He got them to me a week early, and they were spectacular. Definitely worth the extra time. My in laws liked them so much we ordered an album for them. Thank you William for capturing our special day the way we wanted.

Luckily, I'm quite familiar with photoshop so I was able to fix them using the raw photos that arrived a month after our elopement. You can view our photos on our website gibarra.com
