Jovon came highly recommended and seemed organized and professional upfront. Before the wedding,…read morecommunication was great--but once the event was over and they were fully paid, everything fell apart. We submitted a detailed shot list in advance, which the lead photographer, Lena, admitted she barely glanced at and chose to ignore. Important, personal photos we requested were completely missed--and somehow, we were blamed. Even though she admitted fault, we were told timelines were the issue. There was no accountability, and no apology. The video team missed a key moment from our reception and gave us a rushed trailer with mismatched music. When we flagged the errors (that should've been caught with a basic review), we were told we'd have to wait two more months for a revision. Absurd. We were constantly following up on every piece of this process--Photoshop edits, album corrections, video revisions. There was no quality control, no urgency, and we were the ones catching their mistakes over and over again. We even drove out to meet with them in person to get things resolved. Jovon, the owner, made a lot of promises--that we'd be made a priority, that things would be expedited. But afterward? Nothing. He called once, said he'd follow up, and then disappeared. No resolution, no genuine accountability. The admin, Lisa, was rigid with her limited schedule and not helpful when trying to coordinate team meetings. The editing team was sweet and you could tell they really cared to make us happy, but clearly inexperienced--we had to walk them through multiple corrections on video calls they'd never done before. For the price we paid, this lack of professionalism was shocking. The only bright spot was Carlos, their lead videographer. He was kind, positive, and tried his best--but unfortunately, his efforts were drowned out by the team's carelessness. In the end, we did get our final photos and videos only because we spent countless personal hours managing their process, reviewing everything ourselves, and doing the job they should have been doing. We really hate writing a review like this--especially about a family-owned business--but we gave them so many chances to make it right, and they just didn't care enough. If you're considering Jovon Photography: they will treat you like a priority until your wedding is over. After that, you'll be chasing them for months, fixing their mistakes, and left heartbroken by how little care is given to your most important memories.

Jimmy and Alice are amazing! My fiance and I debated hiring a videographer for a while because we…read morewanted to keep the cost of the wedding down. However, since the beginning, Jimmy was very kind, professional and easy to work with. He was able to get us a package that fit our needs and budget. We were in touch throughout the planning process and even the production of the film. We were able to choose songs that were meaningful to us to use in the film, which made it so much more special. We love LOVE both our short and full length films. They really capture the day and allowed us to experience moments of our guests we weren't there for. We've gotten so many compliments on the films and are so glad we decided to hire a videographer and go with Drama Life Films!

My husband and I are so happy that we did decide to get a videographer and went with Drama Life Films. From the minute we hire them they were very responsive and answered any questions I had. I dealt with Jimmy and he just great to work with. the day of the wedding Jimmy and Alice (his assistant) showed up on time, well dressed and ready to work. Jimmy stayed with me while Alice went and capture my husband getting ready. During the ceremony and reception they were both invisible which was great since they capture every detail without being in the way. Two months after our big day we received our trailer and video and we were completely wowed. The work they did was amazing, they were able to capture all of the details and the most important part was our true personalities and love. We are obsessed with our videos and cant stop watching them. If you need a videographer then don't hesitate to go with Dram Life films.

Andrea and Douglass were an absolute delight to work with, and the videos they did for our wedding…read morewere just terrific! Our family and friends really enjoyed both the long-form and short-form videos, and we were so pleased at how quickly Yellow Hook put them together. Andrea and Douglass were friendly, responsive, and professional. And at the wedding they were totally unobtrusive - we barely noticed they were there, yet somehow they managed to get tons of great footage! Not only did Yellow Hook do a great job, they were willing to work with our budget, which was really essential as we didn't have unlimited funds. The finished videos were so thoughtfully done, and my wife still tears up every time she watches them (which is frequently!) I can't recommend Yellow Hook enough. We're so happy that opted to have a wedding video made, and incredibly thankful that we managed to get Douglass and Andrea before they become superstars!

From the very first Zoom call with Noemi, we knew we were in great hands -- she was organized, professional, and made everything so seamless. She connected us with our photographer, Eddie, and videographer, Daniel -- and WOW, these two are absolute gems! Eddie is an incredible photographer -- beyond talented, detail-oriented, and such a calming presence. He listened to everything we wanted and captured our day perfectly. As a bilingual bride, having him speak Spanish with my mom and cousin meant so much to me -- he made everyone feel comfortable and included. And when my earring broke right before the ceremony, he literally pulled out tools and fixed it himself! Talk about going above and beyond! I've printed every single photo he took because they're all that beautiful -- truly frame-worthy memories. And Daniel... what a gift! He captured every special moment so naturally that half the time we forgot the cameras were even there. Every time something emotional or funny happened, I found myself thinking, "I'm so glad Daniel's getting this!" This dream team rolled with every moment, kept the vibe fun and stress-free, and felt like part of the celebration. If you want professionals who genuinely care, have an eye for beauty, and make your day unforgettable -- this is the team. We're endlessly grateful!

Be forewarned - this is less of a review but a romance novel starring our photographer, Danny…read moreBergin of Chellise Michael Photography (CMP), as its main protagonist. In photographs I typically have either RBF or a double chin because I'm usually laughing. I also cringe at the standard posed wedding photography and knew right off the bat that it would be a mission to find a wedding photographer that would be up for the challenge. So if you're like me, you may dread the thought of choosing a wedding photographer. It was by chance that I came across CMP's photographs while browsing on Pinterest. They immediately caught my eye; they were editorial, intimate and full of personality. Bottom line - stunning. Fortunately CMP had one photographer available for our date -- Danny. We lucked out because he is not only extremely talented in his craft, but also a total gem of a person. The photographs from our engagement shoot (WHICH COMES WITH YOUR PACKAGE AND IS AN AMAZING BENEFIT OF CMP'S SERVICES) made it immediately clear that Danny has a superb eye and was able to capture our personality as a couple. I've been non-stop spamming friends and family with our wedding photographs since we've received them; and which Danny delivered in record time. I'm in complete awe of how Danny was able to capture the vibe of our wedding in such a natural way. It goes without saying that wedding photographs aren't just for the couple, but also for the friends and family. So I want to share some verbatim messages I received from our attendees (who include people who work in the fashion industry, my highly critical family and people who have gone to at least 8 weddings last year) which really underscore Danny's stellar photography skills: "HOLY $H!T YOUR WEDDING PHOTOS!! I'm obsessed with all of them!" "The photos really capture you guys" "I'm done. Unwell this aesthetic. who is this photographer?!" "Your photographer was on it! They did a really great job!" "This photographer is magic brah" Last but not least, I want to recognize qualities of CMP that while searching for a wedding photographer I had not recognized were absolutely essential until I saw them in action: (1) a commitment to easy scheduling for discussing your needs and dates and for the engagement shoot; (2) clear instructions and constant communication on when the photographs will be delivered, guides for the photo shoots and how to view your photos; (3) a photographer with great personality that puts everyone at ease; and (4) flexibility and ability to provide for their customer's needs and implement their customer's vision. All in all, due to Danny -- our knight in shining corduroy -- we will live happily ever after.

We are simply enthralled by the incredible artistry and creative narrative vision of Mike,…read moreChellise, and their team. Their ability to capture authenticity, beauty, meaning-- and even the sublime-- went way above and beyond any of our expectations. I was absolutely captivated by their portfolio-- the narrative, colors, composition, perspective. We were having a very small casual wedding, so I honestly wondered, would it still make sense to invest ourselves in photos? I am so glad that we did. I searched high and low online, but I kept coming back to their portfolio --beautiful yet edgy, current, and distinctive. After meeting with Mike at his Bushwick studio, we decided to go for it. I keep thinking of the word Zeitgeist (if that happens to mean something to you)-- the idea that art and culture are intertwined, that individuals and their works are products of their time and culture-- this is what you have with Mike & Chellise-- the ability not only to create beautiful amazing portraits and memories of important moments but also to be part of the artistic and inspired zeitgeist of Brooklyn/NY now. It's like you have the chance to be doing your band photoshoot, except that it happens to be your engagement photoshoot. My partner and I both didn't want traditional engagement photos-- we both love modern and contemporary art, cinema, and the eclectic visionaries who bring their own individual perspective to their work (Cindy Sherman, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Vito Acconci, Ryan Trecartin, Laurel Nakadate, to name a few). In particular, we enjoy the rich saturated hues and style of 1960s Italian (a la Dario Argento) and French New Wave cinema, so we wanted to recreate those moments in our portraits. Mike and Chellise and Kelli made it happen. And our portrait session photoshoot was as fun, memorable, and as exciting as our wedding itself... and the photos are simply incredible. Not only that, but they bring genuine positive and relaxed energy, which is really important, especially for the wedding day. Mike and his team are friendly, professional, timely, and super-efficient and effective. You could not ask for better event/portrait/wedding photographers. True talented artists.
