She knows the New York City area like the back of her hand and her clients benefit from her familiarity. The environment is critical to a beautiful image - lighting, setting, prospective volume of onlookers, and optimal seasonal attributes - and her experience results in a gorgeous outcome that aligns beautifully with the requests of her clients.

**UPDATE** So confused by Katrin's response to my earlier…read morereview. So here's what I have to say: First, I wish I had a personal assistant. I wish I had a job that could afford me the luxury of having someone leave my yelp reviews for me. I wish I earned enough that I wouldn't have to buy an engagement photographer off Groupon for $60. If I can afford a personal assistant than I definitely would've sprung for a photographer for a with better communication. But for right now I'm just a secretary with a very limited wedding budget. I put my faith in you to produce engagement photos I would love, but it's because of you that I don't have any photos to remember that part of my love story. Let me be clear, it wasn't an act of God or the weather I blame. You bailed. You didn't call or text to let me know you couldn't make it nor did you answer my calls when I reached out from Central Park. You didn't even try to make up for the situation by waiving the rush fee. So that's all on you. Second, I'm not sure who you're confusing me for, but we don't have 20 email exchanges. I have your initial email, the one's where we scheduled our first two appointments and then the one's where everything went wrong. If you care to see those than I'll post those too. My name (and my fiance's) are all over my screenshots, if you have any confusion as to who I am than that means you've disappointed a lot more people. Last, I was really rooting for you to respond well to this review. Instead of coming back with a mature response, you just pointed the finger right back at me and tried to intimidate me. I notice you did the same exact thing with the other negative review from January 2018. You attack anyone that doesn't like your method of customer service. It's actually very sad. And believe me I will tell my wedding photographer about this update, I'm sure she'll get a kick out of it.

Working with Katherine was wonderful! We had really admired her work through Instagram and she was…read moreextremely friendly and proactive from the beginning. We wanted a photographer who was very familiar with civil ceremonies at City Hall and was able to capture the day in a classic and genuine way to capture the joy of the big day. Katherine sent frequent emails with updates and tips on how to prep for the day and we had a preliminary call where we were able to make a schedule and plan out the day since we also had a wedding photoshoot afterwards in Golden Gate Park afterwards. During the day of, Katherine was on-time, flexible with when the other people in our group arrived, and guided us through the whole morning with when to check in, where to take photos, etc. She gave us some prompts of how to pose but overall she let us be natural and encouraged to be comfortable in front of the camera. The ceremony was captured beautifully by her and she took great group photos. We then went to Golden Gate Park, and she helped us take some cute coffeeshop and park photos, even with some bonus tennis court and piano pics (two of our favorite hobbies!). After the day, we received a sneak peek very promptly with an awesome of photos (~100 of them!) and a huge full gallery in about a month with lots of gorgeous film photos. There was a huge heat wave that weekend in San Francisco, and Katherine made the whole experience so pleasant and working with her felt like working with an old friend. She is so personable and I have been highly recommending her to my friends and family already! I would definitely recommend working with Katherine :)

Day of our wedding, Sarah was exactly what I needed. She was the epitome of calm, cool and collected. Sarah brought down the high stress levels and had us feeling comfortable in no tome! Once we were relaxed, she had us laughing the whole time. I stubbornly wanted outdoor portraits (November wedding - low 40 degrees) and Sarah didn't bat an eye. She took an overcast day with drab fall/winter trees and made photographic magic! During the event, she was completely in the mix yet not at all intrusive which I loved and a few guests complimented as well! We were blow away at all of the emotions she was able to capture. She was super quick to share a few key photos right after the wedding and shared the whole gallery with us much faster than anticipated! Thank you thank you thank you Sarah!

She is like having your best friend, maid of honor, sister, wedding planner, and therapist - all there during your big day, guiding you through, and taking fabulous pictures to boot. Sarah cares and is one of the most generous souls I have ever met. She is kind, but also gets things done. She threads the needle of being joyful, supportive, and firm, perfectly. She keeps everyone both on task and relaxed. She also managed to expertly capture every moment. She was everywhere and nowhere. She was by my side when I needed her, at the center of the dancefloor, but also unobtrusive and discreet. I cannot imagine my wedding without Sarah there. She made our wedding. She will make yours. If there was a Macarthur genius award for wedding photographers, Sarah should get it!

If I could give Everly Studios 10 stars, I would. Every step of the way, our wedding day was done our way. From our first phone call, Jocelyn really listened to us and understood our vision for our wedding day. She helped us plan an itinerary for the day that was authentic and effortless. On our wedding day, Jocelyn was the only person present, and we wouldn't have it any other way. She was our witness, our hype-woman, and captured every moment of the day along the way. She did the vital job of documenting our special day, but she was also a joy to be with. She made us feel completely at ease with her and her camera. The photos speak for themselves. She fully encompassed our vision of moody, candid, authentic, dramatic shots. We are so proud to show off these pictures, and every person we show is blown away by them. Perhaps more important than the incredible aesthetic of the shots, though, is that she captured us. She captured our energies, our story, and chronicled the best day of our lives. Jocelyn, we cannot thank you enough for documenting our wedding day with your art. To anyone considering elopement photographers, you will be glad you chose Everly Studios!

My husband and I eloped at New York City Hall, just the two of us. We wanted to have a photoshoot…read moreto capture the experience and Everly Studios was one of the first to come up on Google. We met with Jocelyn Voo over Zoom before moving forward with working with her for our special day as our photographer and our witness. Jocelyn was absolutely outstanding for more reasons than one. Firstly, we felt that she really "GOT" us, from start to finish. She listened to our vision (dark, moody, candid, casual, gritty) and as wild as some of our ideas were, she totally leaned in and delivered exactly what we were looking for! Secondly, when you're eloping just the two of you, having a third person present is intimidating; what if it's awkward? What if the vibes are weird? But Jocelyn was an absolute joy to spend time with! I'd go so far as to say that her presence made the day even more special. She asked us about our love story, she joked around with us, and seemed genuinely interested in who we were as people. This also impacted the photos, as you can see how comfortable we are and how much fun we're having. Third, Jocelyn is an expert at her craft, although not pretentiously so. Her website offers so much guidance on how the elopement process works. Her emails with us gave us contacts for who to reach out to for certain steps (We took pictures in the lobby of the Beekman and had to have permission granted; something we certainly wouldn't have known!) Not only did we consider Jocelyn our photographer, but our guide in the process of eloping. She also is an expert in that her photo-taking does not appear obvious! I was worried about having professional pictures taken of me in public, but onlookers barely noticed as Jocelyn very naturally pulled her camera out and snapped pictures. If you are eloping in NYC, there is simply no contest; Jocelyn at Everly Studios is your photographer. You won't regret it, and I genuinely believe our wedding day would not have been as smooth and enjoyable if it weren't for Jocelyn.

She has immense patience and is in no rush to finish the photoshoot. She makes you feel so comfortable, is friendly and understands how to keeps the kids engaged.

Bridget was creative, silly, and fun, capturing the attention of our 2 year old and the pictures really show it! Lots of glowing smiles and giggles. The pictures look perfect and natural, despite I'm sure, some editing - you'd never know! Bridget's prices were the BEST I've found and getting all the digital prints is such a plus for our digital lives. We will absolutely order prints for our family gifts and frames. Thank you Bridget!
