I have known Andrea Reese for over 20 years…read more I have seen her work as a photographer of weddings, and I was dazzled at her work. She brings out the glamour of the bride and groom, as well as catches their real moments together. I hired Andrea to photograph a friend's 60th birthday tea with six friends at the Plaza. It was to be a gift for my friend. At first my friend was hesitant to let Andrea take any photos. She didn't want to feel "invaded" by someone she didn't know. After a conversation with Andrea, my friend agreed that Andrea could come for 15 minutes at the start of the tea. Well Andrea not only was sensitive, kind, and professional, but she blended in so well that my friend agreed that Andrea could stay and take photos for the entire tea service! And the photos were vivid, memorable, and a delight to see, time and time again. This is a tribute to Andrea and her discretion, good judgment, and skill as a master photographer. I highly recommend Andrea as a photographer for the events you want to remember.

I have so many great things to say about Andrea Reese, my wedding photographer, that I barely know…read morewhere to begin. From the start, she was incredibly helpful and responsive. Not only did she work within my student-budget, but she also tried to help me find a makeup artist and food serving staff for the wedding-- BEFORE I ever even gave her a deposit to be my photographer. She is simply genuinely helpful. But I think the best thing about Andrea is how comfortable she makes you feel when she's taking your pictures. She is so warm, energetic, and totally in her element while photographing that you end up losing whatever self-conscious tendencies you have in front of the camera. I got married in a public park, and with Andrea as our photographer, my husband and I had so much fun taking spontaneous pictures on the swings, behind the sprinklers, and even buying ice-cream from the ice-cream truck in my wedding dress! And when the guests arrived, she was totally on it as well- making sure to snap pictures of everyone and everything. To make things even better, we got married just three weeks ago, and already Andrea sent us a link to our wedding album- with a lot of incredible photos, all edited and ready to show to our family and friends. I highly recommend Andrea as a photographer- she is very talented and an all-around great person.

Professional wedding videographer - Malik was awesome to work with. Before the wedding, he…read moreconfirmed the details and responded in a timely manner. After the wedding, he continued communication, which is something I appreciated because I was anxious to receive the footage. He captured all the moments that my husband and I would want to look back on (and more!), and we are so happy we got these captured in video. Moreover, he was friendly and made us feel at ease (which helped our videos - we're normally pretty awkward in front of cameras) on our wedding. I would recommend Malik to everyone who's looking for video services. He's professional, courteous, and will capture the most important moments.

We hired Clare to do our maternity and newborn pictures. She helped us take the shots we envisioned…read moreand more. Clare provided outfits you could use so you don't have to buy something for a 2 hour shoot, a hair and makeup artist for hire, and honest feedback on shots we wanted. With a pregnancy then newborn and covid, we didn't want to do an outdoor or at home shoot - her Chelsea studio was perfect, relaxing and she had many props. Plus, it was baby's first subway ride! We love how our photos came out and are happy we hired Clare to take our first photos as a family.

I had the most amazing experience with Clare Fisher. She was recommended to me by one of her…read moreclients, and I couldn't be happier that I decided to go with her for my maternity photos! The photos came out amazing. She spent all morning with me in her studio, and even recommended a hair & makeup artist that was able to do touch ups throughout the session. She spent time before our session making sure that she knew the vibe I wanted in my photos, and even sent me inspiration photos to confirm. She had her own outfits and I was able to bring in items of my own as well that I wanted featured in my photos. She was able to create exactly what I wanted (and more!). I highly recommend Clare- she is extremely professional and talented. Well worth the money! I will be going back for sure!

We hired Cheyanna for our April wedding in Saratoga Springs, NY. I had come across her work on…read moreInstagram and very quickly knew that there was no one else I'd rather capture this special time in our lives! From our engagement shoot a year prior to our wedding to the weekend of, we knew we were in the very best hands. My now husband and I are pretty camera shy and hugely appreciated Cheyanna's hands-on direction, her efforts to make us feel comfortable, and her overall fun, easy-going affect. For me personally, I can't imagine my wedding day without Cheyanna. I already knew that I loved her photography and that she would beautifully capture the day, but she went above and beyond that. She was so kind, supportive, and really was a much-needed calming presence for me throughout the day. Not only did I feel taken care of, I for once felt beautiful and confident, which meant more to me that I can attempt to put into words. Cheyanna's second shooter for the day, Jordan, was also fantastic and per my husband, helped to make the photography more fun. They made for a great duo! We are beyond obsessed with the sneak peeks that Cheyanna sent us (which she sent so quickly!) and are counting the days until we get to see the rest of the memories she captured. Cheyanna, thank you for everything.

We found Cheyanna through Instagram and were instantly drawn to her work! It was romantic,…read morewhimsical, and more natural than other photographers we had seen! We booked her for our December 2020 Wedding and it was such a pleasure working through all the details and timelines with her! The package included engagement photos which was such a nice way to get acquainted with each other prior to our wedding day. We ultimately needed to cancel our reception due to Covid-19.Cheyanna was flexible, understanding and provided great recommendations for hosting just the ceremony. Let me tell you, our photos ARE ABSOLUTELY STUNNING! She blew us away! Friends and family cannot stop raving about them as well! Cheyanna was so great to have with us on the day, she was a calming force on what can be a bit of a hectic day! We also got a sneak peak the day after our wedding to hold us over until the full gallery was ready! We can't recommend her more so go book with her!

Reverend Alma Daniel recently officiated our wedding in NJ (even though we live in NYC). We could…read morenot have been happier that we found her through WeddingBee (and NY Magazine). She is the sweetest person. We knew the second we met her that she was the right person for the job! She is calm, caring, and eloquent. We wanted a meaningful yet different wedding - definitely more contemporary than traditional since neither my husband or I are particularly religious. When we met her, she read different verses that she had written and asked us for our opinions/what resonated most... She took notes, asked us to look over the verses via e-mail, and revise any words to our liking. This made it more personal... We received so many compliments on our ceremony. There was not a dry eye in the house!!! We would highly recommend Reverend Daniel to any bride and groom looking for a wedding officiant. She was truly a pleasure to work with and the consummate professional. We look forward to keeping in touch with her for many years to come!

Alma Daniel is a kind, wonderful person and my husband and I were so lucky to find her on Yelp to…read morebe the Officiant in our wedding. From the first phone call to inquire about her services, to the signing of the marriage license, the process was so easy and pleasant. She invited us into her home and spent time getting to know us as individuals (and as a couple), and we both felt that she genuinely cared about us as well as tailoring our service to our liking. She had some perfect suggestions that fit us to a T, and where things weren't quite us, she helped us adjust them. We have had countless complements from guests who also were impressed with Alma and with how perfectly the ceremony fit us. We highly, highly recommend Alma for wedding ceremonies.

Mike was more than just a photographer. He helped guide me through my wedding right from the…read morebeginning of contact. He was reliable, flexible and very easy to work with. He has an incredible eye for capturing nuances. He did our engagement pictures and wedding day pictures. I received so many compliments from friends and families after we showed them our engagement pictures. We just had our wedding yesterday and I am excited to see the final results. Before contacting Mike, I made sure I did my homework. I perused a bunch of photographers and wedding website. Luckily I found Mike through a few of my other friends whose wedding he also shot and I was sold upon looking through his webpage. If you want a professional photographer with a keen eye to tell YOUR story, Mike's your guy.

Mike Ngo Photography never ceases to amaze me. He is a creative techie soul. Mike's work is…read moreFANTASTIC, OUT OF THIS WORLD, FIRST CLASS (and yes, I say this with a burst of excitement). I was so nervous my first session but Mike made my family and I feel comfortable and at ease. Second time around was the same. You may not understand what he's doing or why at the time but once you see your shots you will truly be captivated. Just let him know the time, place and he's there. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. You actually may become addicted to taking pictures :)

I've received TONS of positive comments about my profile picture. My goal was to have a…read moreprofessional photo for my LinkedIn profile and my connections and accepted invites have spiked since using the photo from my session with Matt. Highly recommend! Super easy to work with. His space has plenty of room. If you want shots specifically for agents/managers, just communicate that to Matt. He's been in a number of Broadway shows and appeared in many TV shows, so he knows what agents are looking for. For instance, when agents/managers are scrolling through hundreds of thumbnails it's important to have a strategy for capturing their attention and Matt takes that into consideration.

To put it mildly, I don't love getting my picture taken. The sight of a camera sends me into deep…read morefreeze from head to toe. I reached out to Matt for new headshots because I'd read he was an actor who brings his technique to his photo shoots to engage his subject and create a natural aliveness in the photos. Just what I needed, I thought. And I couldn't be happier with the experience of the shoot or with my photos. Matt is a ton of fun to work with and yet it's obvious throughout that he is using his professional expertise and extremely attentive to every detail. We did my pictures outdoors in Manhattan and they actually look like me on a good day (a very good day). I'd recommend Matt to anybody. Thanks so much Matt!

Florence Montmare has done two wonderful shoots for my theater company, The Paper Bag Players. With…read moreher deep understanding of dance, theater, and of what makes performance art visually interesting, she was able to capture iconic moments in the live shows that truly represent our work. I had the good fortune to watch her in the culling process, and therefore to witness the thoughtfulness and care she brings to the project, and the rationale behind choosing any one photo over another similar one; indeed, she thinks of the complete package, and how all the photos together will tell the story of our show and our company. Her photos were selected by The New York Times for a feature article they did on our company, and I couldn't have been happier than to have Florence's work elevate our brand. On top of all that, with her good spirits and positive attitude, she's an absolute pleasure to work with. I recommend her for any and all projects: she is a true artist.
