Amy has such a gift for directing her clients & posing us in our best angle. Amy offers a Hairstylist on site and I decided to book with Reina. If you want to have the best hair of your life & have the time of your life while in the glam chair you definitely want to make sure you book your glam session in studio. It's worth every penny. The endless possibilities for wardrobe is a game changer! All I had to bring was nude & black panties + strapless bras and Amy had the rest! She literally built fabrics around my body shape and it was mind blowing! All in all my experience was a 10 out of 10. Amy executed every look I requested + more. I'm so excited to frame these gorgeous photos in our home

I can not say enough about the incredible experience I've had with Amy from SAJE Photography. She…read morephotographed both of my maternity journeys, and each time, she captured me in a way that made me feel elegant, empowered, and truly celebrated. Her eye for detail is unmatched--every pose, every angle, every touch of light feels intentional and magical. From the moment you walk into her studio, you're treated with such warmth and professionalism that you instantly feel at ease. She understands how to bring out the most flattering, confident version of you, even at a time when you don't always feel your best. The results are nothing short of breathtaking--photos that look like they're straight out of a luxury editorial. Because of how extraordinary my maternity sessions were, I didn't even think twice about booking her again for our newborn photos. Her artistry, consistency, and genuine care make her one of a kind. I trust her completely with my most precious memories, and I'm endlessly grateful for the timeless images she has created for our family. If you want photos that make you feel like a goddess and memories preserved with true artistry, she is the photographer you need. Absolutely the best.

Here's what you need to know about Shannon Collins: They are a beautiful human being, inside and…read moreout, with a tremendous amount of kindness, care, respect and infinite talent. If you want photography that captures the spirit, essence, emotion of your love story, your family, your wedding day and beyond, hire Shannon. If you want a photographer who is actively trying to make the wedding industry and world a better place, hire Shannon. If you want someone by your side, who will make everyone feel comfortable and capture everyone, as their authentic selves, hire Shannon. And of course, if you want to nerd out over pop culture and have positive, affirming, supportive and fun communication leading up to whatever event or shoot, hire Shannon. It will be one of the best decisions you make. I found Shannon's work on the site, A Practical Wedding, and shortly after, my partner and I scheduled a video call with them. Immediately after talking with them, we knew we wanted them to be the person to photograph our engagement, wedding (and hopefully more in the future)! We just clicked. Their work is bright, airy, colorful and creative, full of details and unique composition. They make space for everyone's requests and makes everyone feel at ease -- whether it's kids or you as the couple, so it doesn't matter if you typically feel comfortable in front of the camera or not, Shannon's personality and thoughtfulness makes you comfortable. Both for our engagement and our wedding day, they never over-directed us, they just let us be who we are and gave us the occasional suggestion for a pose, all while cheering us on. They graciously worked with us to move the date (twice!) when we had to postpone due to the pandemic, in addition to giving us emotional support during the process. Shannon also scouted our new venue with us when we moved location as well. They went above and beyond what we expected in every way. TL;DR: Shannon Collins is an incredible person and photographer and my husband and I are so unbelievably happy that we hired them. Everyone in our family and wedding party adored them, and my mom, who is the biggest critic even said, "There's just not one bad photo. They're all beautiful," and she's 100% right. Thank you, Shannon, for everything!

Shannon is a total sweetheart and an incredible artist. I booked her to photograph my bridal shower…read moreas a gift to my mother for all her hard work, and Shannon was like a little sprite popping around and quietly getting fabulous pictures. She captured all of the perfect little decor details, all of my emotions opening gifts and greeting guests, and she took great candids of friends and fam. She also took some boudoir pics for a gift for the hubs. I was very comfortable working with her and she took lovely, romantic, (and sexy!) shots and she was patient with my billion ideas for what I wanted to try. I also had the pleasure of seeing her in action at my friends' wedding this summer- again she was completely unobtrusive and delightful with great energy. I can't wait to see the pics!

Gina was very experienced on how to get the perfect photo opportunity and also suggested what poses would work best with each shot, but she did also tell us to be natural and took some candid shots which were just as great if not better than the posed shots. We will definitely be working with her again in the future for upcoming baby pictures. She's awesome!

I cannot say enough good things about Carly or her work. She recently shot my wedding and my…read moreengagement shoot. She is super responsive via email, which I really appreciate, and is ALWAYS on time. Carly is really bubbly and puts you instantly at ease. My husband is super shy and hates photos and she made him feel comfortable and he looks so happy in every photo - I expected him to look annoyed after about the first five minutes. She really listens to what is and is not important to you about your photos - I made it super clear I wanted photos to go quickly and didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. I asked for one specific photo, and she not only got everything I asked for, she paid close attention to make sure she was adhering to what I DIDN'T want too. Our photos went by super quickly, without drama, and everyone was happy. She also noticed that when my flowers arrived the morning of the wedding incorrectly and I was scowling at them, she quickly hid them in a closet so I stopped getting upset. The BIGGEST HOLY GOD thing about Carly is how QUICK she is to turn around your photos. I had my engagement photos within a week, and a preview of "the" photo I wanted from my wedding the next day. I had a selection of photos (a few dozen) about a week after the wedding and ALL of them a few days after that. It may have even been less time than that, but I was on my honeymoon and not entirely sure when I got them because my service was so crappy I couldn't download them and was really bummed about it. My photos were even better than I ever imagined. They are GORGEOUS. Carly really captured what makes us "us". She's a delight to work with and absolutely fantastic at what she does. PLUS her prices are SUPER reasonable. I will use her for literally everything I ever can...she's AMAZING.

I can highly recommend Jen and will definitely ask her to take family pictures again in the future.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Azzolina Photography, that I don't even know where…read moreto begin. Definitely check her out on TheKnot - SO many positive reviews and happy customers! We found Azzolina Photography on the "Philly's Best" list back when I was searching for wedding photographers in 2015/2016. Beth is the best! After a quick phone call, I decided to meet with her to see some of her stuff in-person and talk details; it's SO evident that she not only loves what she does, but LOVES working with people and helping couples recognize their dream! She is so personable, organized, and thoughtful! Not only that, but her work is beautiful and I would absolutely recommend her! She worked with us (patiently!) as we changed our minds about many things, many times - always with a smile and a laugh! Super fast about getting back to us, answering questions, and even making recommendations when it was clear we were at a loss. The best part of working with Azzolina Photography, is that you're not just another client; Beth takes her time to get to know us, our vision, and what we had wanted for our big day. I absolutely forgot about her on the big day, but when got our photos, she captured every moment! We had all of our wedding photos back SUPER fast, which is so nice, compared to a 6-month-wait when working with some "big names" in the area. Check her out, she only does a handful of weddings a year to make sure she can dedicate time/energy to each bride! Also- she now has her own studio for portraits which looks amazing on her website (but I've never seen it) - the baby photos are ADORABLE.

Elizabeth Azzolina is brilliant- and that is an understatement. Photography was one of the most important parts of special day and we were not about to settle. Our initial meeting was brief but we covered everything necessary: pricing on packages, her style and most important your vision. Highly recommend adding on the engagement session. Being in front of the lens can be awkward and you don't want to struggle with this on your wedding day. Plus, Azzolina was a blast to work with. She instantly makes you feel relaxed and makes it fun! Getting these photos back will reconfirm you've made the right decision and leaving you excited for the big day. On the day of the wedding she showed up on time and kept moving things along. Elizabeth was incredible with the kids and treated everyone with respect! My family is still talking about how impressive she was with 3 kids under 5 years in age. Her photos are incredibly tasteful and artistic. She truly captured the love and joy in everyone. The only struggle you will have, is deciding which images to print! We were beyond thrilled about using Azzolina Photography. We're also confident that when you choose her, you will be in excellent hands on your wedding day. We highly recommend her, because after all, it's the "best day ever" and you should have someone so talented to capture it.

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!!!
