Keri and her team captured all the magic of our special day and blew us away with the wealth of great photos we'll have to cherish forever. Keri is both articulate and kind. She finds the balance in letting you and your partner take the lead on expressing yourself through photos, but offers great suggestions to snag the perfect shot. Her enthusiasm at being able to capture your love story will shine through the moment you meet her, throughout your wedding planning, and in her excitement on your wedding day. Beyond the quality of the product, which speaks for itself, there is no vendor you'll spend more time with on your wedding day than your photographers. It's so important to find the team that will keep you calm, keep you focused and keep you on schedule. Keri did all of these things: she worked efficiently and effectively; never rushing us but always keeping things moving and working stealthily to get the shot. Keri's images are crisp, the coloring is beautiful, and the candid moments the team was able to capture made us slip right back into the beautiful haze that passed far too quickly on wedding day. If you're debating across potential photographers, do yourself a favor and book Keri's team. These are true professionals, and it shows through in their work style and final product. read more

Keri Tan Weddings - Session Photography Near Me

Keri Tan is the best. She's captured beautiful moments of our wedding and engagement. It was a joy to have her as our professional photographer, and she so personable, very responsive and extremely dependable. Selecting vendors for your wedding can be super stressful, and I researched so many photographers in the NY and NJ area. From the moment I met Keri, my husband and I were very excited. We are so happy with the whole process with Keri and even happier with all the lovely and special photos. We just received our wedding photos from Keri and I have been looking through them laughing and crying all over again. The photo gallery is organized and we'd love to have Keri as our photographer again for special life moments :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND for those looking for a skilled and personable photographer for any special events! read more

I don't have the proper words to describe the awesome experience that we had when Keri and crew handled our wedding. I was actually being more picky about photographers when we were choosing, and I am so glad that my partner convinced me to agree to using Keri for our wedding, and engagement photos. The whole experience was just perfect. She always went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable, and she was always super accommodating. We have a 14 year old golden retriever that we wanted to include in our engagement photos, and she took all the time and every opportunity to help us include her as well, as if it wasn't already a huge enough endeavor to take engagement photos in public. During the wedding, she worked very closely with our other vendors to help facilitate really smooth transitions during all of the events to capture all of the group photos and random different candid moments. It was so seamless how she and her team handled all the different parties of people. It felt like she was just part of the family, trying to gather our difficult asses together for just that one family group photo, haha. I would say that's how she disguised her presence; she's there to do her job to the best she can, while being invisible, and adapting, and vibing to all the different situations to get her shots in. The photos came out GREAT. Keri and her team have set the caliber for me quite a bit higher on what a really good photographer can do, and should be able to do. The best part is, as you go through the photo album, you can see the story that she is trying to convey as an artist. It's just an absolute joy looking through all the well captured moments. read more

Hiring Keri as our engagement and wedding photographer was hands down the BEST decision we made and our favorite vendor to work with!! Keri is highly professional, kind-hearted, and has a real eye for beauty. Prior to any photo shoot, she visited the location we picked to scout for the best spots and to ensure we used time efficiently. Throughout the wedding planning process, Keri was very prompt in all her responses and worked collaboratively with my other vendors to make comprehensive and detailed preparations for the big day. When Keri sent a couple preview photos the day after our wedding, my family, friends, and I were all stunned at how beautiful the photos came out! It is evident from Keri's portfolio that her artistry is next level. We feel so blessed to have crossed paths with her. If you work with Keri, you will see just how beautiful she really is inside and out; and she will capture beauty in every moment through a creative lens. Her photos are not just pictures but a true work of art that tells a story. read more

Professional, beautiful, and seamless!! Where do I even begin?? Pre-proposal: I live in Arizona and had this great idea to propose to my now fiancé at the rink at Rockefeller Center. But I knew I needed a photographer to capture the moments leading up to, during, and post proposal shots. After reaching out to a dozen or so photographers, the duo team of Keri and Al were my choice! They not only responded and answered all questions promptly but were super informative throughout the entire process. Since I couldn't meet up with them prior to the proposal, they went to the rink ahead of time and sent me a step by step detailed plan of where would be the best shots taken and where they'd be standing during the proposal! Amazing. Proposal: We are both so grateful for how these pictures turned out. They offer same day pictures for social media purposes, and with how things are these days, THIS IS A MUST!! The rest of all the pictures were sent within a weeks time and turned out beautiful. If you want a team that is sweet, compassionate, and most importantly amazing photographers, Keri and Al should be your choice. Thanks again! read more

My husband and I had an awful experience with our previous wedding photographer which led us to finding Keri, and we are so glad we did! Right from the start, Keri was extremely accessible and communicative. We were really impressed with her attention to detail. Prior to our big day, Keri sent us a questionnaire to fill out to ensure that we were all on the same page with what we wanted. She even helped us with our wedding timeline, which was a big help since we were overwhelmed at that point. From the beginning, we trusted her and that, to us, was everything. The photos were incredible and captured details of the day that we were too busy to see. We're so grateful to have these photos to look back on. Also, Keri was accompanied by her husband, Al, who was the best hype man! He made us feel at ease in front of the camera. The two of them are the perfect combo! read more

Keri and her assistant Al are a dream team when it comes to wedding photography. Individually, they have their own particular way of shooting that is complementary to the other, which resulted in a variety of beautiful and interesting shots. You can tell they really know their angles and are seasoned photographers, as they effortlessly guided us through many different poses and found awesome spots to shoot at our location. It also really helps that they are naturally personable and friendly, making it easy to relax and just enjoy our time having our engagement and wedding photos taken. I'd like to highlight two particular moments that made the whole experience with them extraordinary: Firstly, when my husband (At the time, my fiance and groom.) was stressing over all that was left to be done on the morning of the wedding, Al comforted him and brought the right perspective about it being a day of celebration and enjoying each other, and not about making everything perfect. This instantaneously lifted up his spirits and he was in a good head space again. Secondly, I found it incredibly sweet that Keri was trying to make sure that I ate during the wedding. She knows how brides tend to run around to make sure everything goes as planned, and I had no bridesmaids or maid of honor to help me. It was such a pleasure and I highly recommend working with them! read more

BEST of the best!! Al Cheung photographed my bridal shower in March 2017. He was not only a delight but just so amazingly diligent and talented! And yes, ladies, it ain't all bad to have a guy photograph your bridal shower. It actually can work out better so your friends smile for the camera *wink* Keri and Al provided us our photos immediately and everyone, including my photo obsessed Asian Moms loved the results. That's a hard crew to please, so any compliments from them simply mean photo perfection!! Don't hesitate - book Keri and Al for all sorts of events, family photos, bridal showers, weddings galore!! Photograph your Sunday brunch, walk through parks, anything you want beautifully documented! I truly wish I had more regular events with a photo budget for Keri and Al to photograph! Sadly most of us can't have photo paparazzi everywhere all the time though... read more

Keri was absolutely amazing from the moment of first contact. She met with me ahead of time to get a sense of my husband's and my style, is just a gem of a human being, and was flawlessly wonderful on the day of. She was great at helping up heard our guests and us into photos when needed while always being just a delight to have around. The photos speak for themselves - they're perfect. My husband, who is always complaining about how he looks in every photo no matter what, says that they're the best photos of him he's ever seen. Part of our wedding was also outdoors and the day was a little greyer than we'd wanted, but thanks to Keri they still look incredible. I will absolutely be using her for any occasion we need photos in the future. I honestly can't recommend her highly enough. read more

I had the pleasure of working with Keri two years ago on a fun shoot for my blog! She is a true professional and has great artistic vision. It was my first time working with a professional photographer and posing so I felt a bit awkward but Keri put me at ease. She is super nice and easy to talk to, it made the whole process really smooth. We got some great shots and she sent a few to me right away for me to preview and edited the rest and sent them not long after. Communication was seamless and there were no surprises. I had a great time working with Keri and would definitely recommend her services! read more

I worked with Keri for three different photoshoots for my fashion business and she was fantastic! I gave her the brief that I wanted lifestyle shots for our social media accounts and she went well above and beyond to make sure the shots were exactly what I needed which was very reassuring given I do not live in the US and quite honestly thought I wouldn't pull this off. Keri is a good listener and great at capturing your ideas and translating them to the photos. She is easy to work with, good at taking direction and directing and has great ideas to make the shots different. Certainly would and will be booking her again next time I need a photographer in NY. You should too. You won't regret it. Thank you Keri! Loved working with you and the pictures look fabulous! Love from London, Nat x read more

On a brisk November Saturday morning my wife, Sabrina and I had the pleasure to work with Keri capturing beautiful photos to commemorate our first wedding anniversary. Keri and her assistant provided more than just a photo shoot, they arranged an experience. The service offered was impeccably professional and personally endearing. Keri was able to capture different seasonal shots based on her keen eye of different locations in Forest Park. Keri and her assistant worked well together to procure shots of our romance, playfulness and our humor. We are so blessed to have experience such a joyful time with them, all the while bringing back the those fuzzy feelings from when we got married a year ago. Communication was beyond reproach and timeliness of delivery was as promised. I recommend more couples 1) treat themselves and get professional 1yr anniversary photos done and 2) get them done by Keri Tan Photography. My wife is already looking forward to many more life events being photographed by this lovely team. read more

What a pleasure it was to have my executive headshot taken by Keri. I've had some bad experiences with photographers in the past so I was hesitant when I came across Keri Tan Photography. But after my initial interaction with Keri, I knew she was different. Her professional demeanor as well as her level of creativity and quality of work was second to none. She asked specific questions to pinpoint exactly what I was looking for. My photographs came out better than expected. Usually, people would complement others by saying how they look better in person than in pictures. However, my peers and colleagues were the other way around. They said that my headshot looks tremendously better than I really look. (I'm hoping that they were being sarcastic.) I recommend Keri Tan Photography to anyone searching for a skilled photographer. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE KERI We are so lucky that we found Keri and booked her for our pre-wedding photos in NYC. A morning with her and Al, her husband, was not simply a photo-shoot session but also a memorial experience prior to our weeding. First of, Keri is super friendly and "patient" with me for all of my crazy ideas. I am not familiar with NYC as I live in NJ, she patiently worked with me in choosing the locations that most suited with my style as well as my clothes and not too far away from other shooting points. On the shooting day, Al drove us around those locations. We were surprised that we went beyond customer-photographer relationship since we talked and shared about everything just like close friends. We did have a blast during our photo-shoot. Even though we paid by hours and we had 5 places to go with a lot of traveling between Brooklyn and Manhattan, Al and Keri were very professional and efficient. They made sure we had the most photos and covered every corner that we came in such a limited time. They are so nice that they took us back to the train station and gave us their MTA card. We are also in love her style!!! She guided us and directed us throughout the shooting with ease that we did not even feel like we were acting at all. By that, she captured us in our most natural and lovely moments. In fact, the photo came out amazing. It exceeds our expectation. Everyone that saw our photos blew us away with their compliments. If you need a photographer for any event of your life, she is the one. I definitely will book her again. read more

From the moment we met Keri and her husband Al we knew that they would go beyond wedding photographers and become friends. They got to know us as a couple and individuals. The day of our engagement shoot was not as warm as we had hoped and they worked with us to make sure we got the perfect shots, even when it meant being outside longer than any of us wanted. The day of our wedding was also cold and unfortunately raining. Keri and Al found perfect spots for us indoors and grabbed us when there was a break in the rain for us to get some great shots outside. We couldn't have asked to share our day with more incredible people. They were on the dance floor, snapping shots of the tables, grabbing us to get the family photos we had requested, and capturing special moments with just the two of us. Go with Keri you won't be disappointed. read more

Choosing a photographer in my opinion is one of the most important things and I'm so glad I had Keri! It was such a pleasure to work with her. She did my engagement photos and it came out amazing! My fiancé and I received so many compliments on them! It was everything that we ever hoped for! Keri is very professional, courteous and extremely patient. She truly has an eye for beauty and her photos are so artistic. Her creative directions are amazing and unique. She definitely has a vision like no other and able to capture a perfect shot. If you haven't picked a photographer you need to pick Keri! You will not be disappointed. read more

She is very well versed, patient, has a great artistic eye AND is a fantastic editor. If you're looking for a great photographer that really can do it all, look no further! read more

My fiancé and I had the opportunity to have an engagement shoot with Keri. It was amazing! She has a warm and inviting personality that made us feel very comfortable and I think it shows in our pictures. We were a few minutes late and Keri never made us feel bad and even stayed beyond the scheduled time to provide us with the full amount of time for the shoot. She has a professional demeanor and still manages to create fun and creative shots. She was also very patient with us the entire time. She even helped us incorporate some props we had into our shoot. When we saw the final pictures, we were amazed by how great they were! I would highly recommend her and I look forward to working with her again in the near future. read more

Keri was fantastic. She was accommodating throughout the entire pre-wedding process in terms of offering a package that worked for us and giving advice on the complicated details of the various arrangements of timing, group pictures procedures. On the day of, she and Al (her assistant photographer) were fabulous about trying to capture every moment and every detail but without being intrusive. They were fun and easy to work with and also very on top of it. I would highly recommend them for any wedding or event! read more
