The photography team was very professional and noticed every detail in each pose. We really appreciated all their efforts in trying to get my toddler's attention, which can be difficult. These are our first family photos with our newborn and we couldn't thank them enough. Will definitely book them again in the future!

During our session they took the time to coordinate poses and made sure my hair was perfect and that the baby's dress was smoothed out. It can be really difficult to take photos with a young child but they really tried their best to entertain and make my baby smile. My husband and I enjoyed our photoshoot and truly had a fun time. We highly recommend them to all friends and family looking to have photos taken for any occasion. We will cherish these photos forever as they'll serve as memories for the future. LOVE LOVE LOVE.

This is our second year coming to storybook experiences at the RVC location and it's truly magical…read morefor kids. Last year we got there early and entered right in time, this year we were 6 minutes late, they called us at the 5 min mark and i told them we were 1 min away. They were nice about it but next time i will leave a lot earlier due to traffic from the Bronx to Long Island on a Friday night. Thankfully we were dressed up and were able to enter quickly. My son loved this experience, from the allergy free cookie, to the gold coin and reindeer food, but most of all, the staff and Santa! This time my son went into the room when Santa was not there, after taking a few pictures he wished for Santa and Santa appeared! So nice and magical, i know the pictures will be just as great as they were last year! It does take a bit for the pics. Last year we went Dec 6 and got the pics about 3 days before Christmas. This year it was Dec 5 so i am expecting about the same. We are already planning to go back next year for their new experience with Santa & Mrs Claus ! Highly recommend booking early, this booking was made in July and the previous year in August. I plan to book this time with early release in January/February!

2.5 stars rounded down…read more Storybook Experiences offers a private meet and greet with Santa that includes photography. The session lasts about 20 minutes and costs $400. Like most families, we booked this experience with the expectation that, as a professional photography business, photos would be delivered in a reasonable timeframe, specifically in time for Christmas. We reserved our session well in advance for November 25, assuming that a full month would be more than sufficient to receive proofs, select photos, create Christmas cards, and share images with family, teachers, and school staff before winter break. Today is December 17, 22 days after our session, and we still have not received our photos. At this point, it is far too late to use them for Christmas cards, gifts, or even framed photos. This completely defeats the purpose of booking a holiday photography experience. What is most frustrating is that the business is fully aware of the seasonal time sensitivity of these sessions and still charges a premium price. When we asked if we could receive just one or two photos early so we could at least make a Christmas card, we were told no. While I agree with other reviewers that the Santa himself is wonderful--engaging, kind, and genuinely memorable for the kids--the overall experience does not justify the cost. Paying $400 for a 20-minute session with no reasonable photo turnaround time is unacceptable. In previous years, this experience cost less and photos were delivered in time, which makes this even more disappointing. From my perspective, this feels like a business that has overbooked, raised prices, and prioritized revenue over delivering on what families are actually paying for. A professional photography business should be able to manage editing and delivery timelines, especially during the busiest and most important season of the year. Bottom line: Great Santa, but not worth the price. If you are expecting to receive your photos in time for Christmas, I would not recommend this experience. I would not book this again. UPDATE: We received the pictures too late to make any cards (12/19 which was 24 days from our shoot date). The images look like they were edited by a child. Steam coming out of cups of milk? Random stars/sparkles placed on some of the photos though one just didn't have any. Cannot believe they want us to believe it takes over 3 weeks to add some stars to a picture. The business shared an apology video, which was 17 minutes long and made some grand plans however that requires spending more $$$$ at this business which I never would do again.

My husband and I decided to go with Kevin Markland as a photographer for our wedding this past…read moreSeptember. We are SO glad we did. From our initial phone call to us recieving our photos, Kevin was professional and friendly. My husband and I are very to ourselves, so we were nervous about finding a photographer that could capture us without cheesy poses. Kevin made us feel very comfortable and captured tons of candid photos! We wanted to include our dog, Bear, in our engagement and wedding pictures and Kevin was more than happy to. I also requested some creative portraits that he nailed! I wish I could post some of the pictures he took on The Knot. We also live out of state, and traveled to NY just for the wedding. Kevin was very easy to work with through emails, calls and texts. We didnt need to worry about anything during the wedding. He captured all the right moments. Ive been to many weddings where the photographers lack personality, and try to rush everyone during portraits and family photos, but i didnt feel that way with Kevin at all. Kevin added a personal touch to everything we recieved, which was really great. My husband and I are both police officers, and very much into guns and shooting, and Kevin found a way to incorporate that into our photos, which came out INCREDIBLE. We are very happy with our choice in photographer!

My finance and I wanted to photographer who wouldn't be overly serious or overly staged. When we saw Kevin's photos and spoke with him we knew right away that he would strike the perfect balance of professional, laid back and fun. This resulted in natural, fun, bright photos we will cherish forever. Kevin was really collaborative with us throughout the entire process. We explained to him the look and feel we wanted in our photos and he delivered on that no questions asked. He was also open to hearing our ideas and sharing his ideas with us. This collaborative process made the photos feel uniquely us. Kevin was also incredibly accommodating & flexible. A storm hit the day our engagement photos were scheduled so we had to cancel. Kevin promptly rescheduled at the earliest possible convenience to ensure we still had the photos in time to use one as our save the date. Additionally, he was an absolute champ the week of our wedding - accommodating a shifting schedule as we worked to get photos in between periods of bad weather. Photos are one of the only things you after the cake has been severed and the band stops playing. We are thrilled with our choice to work with Kevin to capture these memories.
