Alyssa Maloof is a rockstar! We stumbled upon her work while googling images of our venue. My…read moreartsy fartsy husband instantly fell in love with Alyssa's website and online portfolio. After an incredibly generous offer on a 6 hour wedding package & engagement photo session, we booked our dream photographer. One of the best decisions ever! I could go on and on about how promptly Alyssa responded to emails/ calls, or her professional online invoicing system, or how easy it was to schedule our engagement session, but I'd rather focus on the emotional aspect of Alyssa's work. Some background -- my husband and I have been together for 11 years, we have an endless supply of inside jokes, and we love living in Philadelphia. Alyssa has an artistic eye, an amazing ability to work with light, and a familiarity with the city we call home. Our City Hall/ Dilworth Park engagement session with Alyssa was so fun! She kept things loose and light. Her hand gestures and silent communication while shooting kept us laughing and led to beautiful, natural photos. There were several moments during our wedding when I needed to take a break to rest my back. Alyssa stuck with us when we took our down time and we ended up having some great conversations -- letting her in on some of our jokes, my recurring whale dream, and the story of how we first met. We truly felt comfortable with Alyssa. Ten days later, we received about a dozen teaser photos. She captured our happiest moments in such unique and artistic light. We're thrilled with what we've seen so far and can't wait to see our entire portfolio of pictures. We highly recommend Alyssa Maloof Photography and would absolutely work with her in the future!

Can't even begin to explain how thrilled I am with our wedding photos. Everyone was absolutely in…read moreshock at how beautiful they turned out. Alyssa has a great personality, on top of her amazing photography skills. Almost everyone said they barely noticed her there, and yet she captured so many moments I don't think any other photographer would have been able to get. And she does it solo!!! No annoying crew but she's a million times better than even an entourage would have been. She directed us enough to get flattering and gorgeous shots, but also also managed to get candids that were just as spectacular. And her directions weren't annoying or too particular, just easy pointers or suggestions, so all the photos are genuine and true to your own personality. Highly recommend!!!

Hire this photographer for your engagement session! You won't be sorry…read more Helena is kind, gentle and personable. More importantly, she has a unique eye for capturing the perfect angles to create a magical atmosphere and a wonderful flair for using bold colors. She's easy to talk to and will make you comfortable even if you're shy in front of the camera. We had a wonderful photoshoot on a very cold day last week and Helena worked overtime to capture as many shots as possible without any complaints. We received all of our pictures online way ahead of the promised timeframe. They were beautiful and high quality. Now we can't wait to schedule our next session. So glad we stumbled upon her listing online. Highly recommend!

TL;DR: I proposed to my girlfriend in May of 2019 at a Museum in Philadelphia, and Helena was our…read morephotographer. She is an absolute pleasure to work with, and is dedicated to her craft with tremendous passion around delivering works of art. Helena Raju Photography is one of the the best decisions I made for our very special occasion! *********** When I decided that I wanted to hire a professional photographer to capture the moment I proposed to my girlfriend [ now fiance ;) ], I knew that I wanted the absolute best. It's difficult to put a price on a once in a lifetime experience, and so I did my due diligence of researching, calling/vetting photographers as much as I could, and then researching some more. About a month out from the proposal, I came across Helena's website and bookmarked her immediately after seeing some of her work -- they were crisp, detailed, and filled with life. I e-mailed Helena on a Saturday and within 1 hour she responded that she was free on May 11th, 2019. We were set! The day of the shoot, Helena arrived early and worked with myself and the rest of the museum staff to get everything ready/position herself to 'blend in' with atmosphere. I'll note that there's a lot of moving pieces when you're trying to pull off an ultimate proposal (i.e., renting a museum, flying family members in, hiding the family members, working with the museum staff to put on a "fake museum tour" where instead of an art painting, your girlfriend is instead is led to you and asked if she wants to spend the rest of her life with you, etc.). Helena captured EVERY MOMENT of this experience in spectacular fashion. She then spent extra time with us after the proposal leading us around the museum and taking more pictures in various angles and locations. I was incredibly impressed by the extra mile that she took to make sure that we took full advantage of our big day. What I loved most about working with Helena is that she is just so down-to-earth; her high level of empathy and ability to adapt to her customers' expectations and environments is what makes working with her so special. We've had several friends shed tears from just looking at our engagement pictures, and we are still blown away at the portfolio of our engagement delivered by Helena. She's amazing, guys!

Heidi was exceptional as a photographer!…read more She is a thorough professional who from the very first conversation set our wedding up for success. Her consultation forced my now wife and I to get everything in gear, but we are better off for it. Once she had a firm timeline, she stuck to the schedule and kept my wedding party in the loop of who needed to be where to get the pictures my wife and I emphasized. I was a bit preoccupied during the ceremony, but the number of angles taken suggests Heidi might be capable of flight. I'm astonished that one person could move that quick to capture so many timeless moments. The photos that she was able to capture are ones that I will cherish for the rest of my life! Please consider working with Heidi for any of your large event photography needs!

Heidi arrived early to meet us before things got started. From her experience with Philadelphia City Hall ceremonies, she knew the best places to take photos in and around the building.

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.

April went above and beyond--she even stepped in to speak with our venue organizer when we were having trouble getting a response. That's just the kind of person she is: thoughtful, proactive, and completely invested in making sure your day is perfect. We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer or a better person to share our day with. We'll cherish both the memories and the photos forever. Thank you April! Maria & Seth

Today I was scheduled for a boudoir photoshoot. When I received my confirmation email for…read morephotoshoot, it said a link for deposit was attached, although it wasn't. I replied and told them there was no payment link attached, to which I never received a response. Yesterday, I received a text message confirming my appointment. In the text message, it said that I could send deposit via cash app (never specified deposit amount) or just pay in studio. I was just gonna pay in studio. As I was checking my email last night, I saw that they sent me a cancelation for my appointment today. No explanation. I'm gonna assume that it was because of not receiving a deposit, but I also never received a reply when I inquired about the payment link. I understand that business practices have changed and that we're still in the middle of a global pandemic, but at no time did I receive a call or talk to someone personally. Communication through email and text messages ONLY is very unprofessional for what seemed to be a reputable business.

Each time, Nikki has made me feel comfortable, at ease, and even relieved from outside stressors that could've had a negative effect on the shots. I would recommend her business; however, ensure one reads the information clearly to prevent any confusion regarding service prices. I initially learned of her through Groupon like many others and was a bit shocked by the in-person price range, but I also understand that Groupon does not list many hidden/additional fees, which are detailed on a business's site.

Working with Diana has been an absolute pleasure. From the moment my fiancee and I met her at a…read morePanera Bread in November to discuss booking her for our wedding, we felt at ease. She gave us a great idea about her work philosophy and design aesthetic and was willing to negotiate on price. She really made us feel like we would be well taken care of. She's lived up to her promises and has called me a few times just to see how planning was going or if I booked a honeymoon. She even sent us a Christmas card this past year. I love that it's not just business with her. Something that really stuck with me is that Diana said she really wanted me to feel like I wasn't just working with a photographer - she wanted to develop a friendship so I would feel comfortable on our big day. I also want to give her props for being so organized. She emailed me with a questionnaire so we could work out a timeline; this way, she could understand exactly where she needed to be to get the perfect shot. She can do very candid photos as well, though, so she really is quite the chameleon. Our engagement photos were stunning and I can't wait to see her work for our wedding day! UPDATE: Our wedding photos from June were beautiful! And Diana had them finished in about a week, so her turnaround time was very impressive. My bridal party and I were running late at the salon on the morning of the wedding and I was worried it would cut into my photo time. She took the lead and found my florist while she was waiting so that she wouldn't waste any time. Then she kept me calm, cool, and collected. The pictures came out great. Thank you, Diana!

Booking was easy and she guided us every step of the way. She selected a beautiful location and even happily helped us choose our outfits for the shoot! During the shoot itself, she made us feel comfortable and kept us laughing and smiling as if we were being photographed by an old friend. There were no awkward pauses and you could tell she was genuinely excited and happy to be photographing us, doing what she loves, which made it much easier for us to enjoy being there ourselves. We received our finished photos within a week, much earlier than we expected during the busy holiday season. The photos were stunning and it was obvious that she really paid close attention to detail. I can be difficult to photograph because of how much I blink but you wouldn't be able to tell from the photos that this was even an issue, which was a big plus for me. We received so many compliments on the photos and could not be happier! Overall, great photographer, great customer service and AMAZING photos. Can't wait to hire her for more milestones in the future.
