Words can't express how amazing Chris and Aenid are!…read more I had decided pretty last minute that I HAD to have a videographer for our wedding (about a month prior!) - which lead to sleepless nights watching demo videos online and trying to find a videographer who created beautiful wedding highlights, was within our budget, and was still available for our wedding day! All of which The Candi Project met, much to our joy!!! Chris and Aenid are AMAZING to work with. They met with us about a week after I had reached out to them, and communicated with us to get all the info before our big day (which was only a few weeks away at that point!). The day of the wedding, they went to my now husband's place first to capture him getting ready and were infinitely patient when he was very late in coming back home from picking up his best man! They then came to my place to capture me getting ready with my ladies, then rushed to the church to set up their cameras for the ceremony. It was AWESOME having the dual team and THREE different camera angles at our ceremony. And they were with us at the reception until like an hour before the party ended - which was almost 12 hours!!! They were also ridiculously fast with the editing - our wedding was on 10/5 and they sent us the link to our highlights video YESTERDAY - only 3 weeks!! I can't stop watching our video. Everyone has cried watching it. I would not hesitate in recommending The Candi Project for any of your video/photo needs. Chris and Aenid are AMAZING (and are super nice and sweet!!!), and we loved that they were there to capture our special day!

Hands down, Chris and Aenid is the most amazing and talented videographer ever!! When it comes to…read morecapturing beautiful videos, Chris is your guy. He just has a natural gift in creating an art-like videos in the most random and unexpected places and moments. We were blown away with our wedding highlight he did for us. We just got married on July 19th and were extremely surprised by how quickly and efficiently Chris and his team worked. Our friends and family were so impressed when I posted our wedding highlight on Facebook we are still getting many compliments today. Chris, thank you and to your wife Aenid so much for making our special day even more memorable with your amazing ability to capture our precious moments in your own artsy way.

Park Ave was the preferred photo company for our Venue and after our wedding it should probably be…read morethe preferred photo company for every Venue in Long Island. First like many couples married in the past year we had to plan it and/or reschedule it through a pandemic and everyone we spoke to over the phone at Park Ave were still so thoughtful and caring as the wedding and event based businesses were taking a hit. Ment alot to how cool and calm they were able to remain as me and my wife were freaking out. I now must mention Brian, who was our photographer the day of the wedding. Me and my brothers arrived to the venue for photos and he was straight to business because he knew timing was pressed and was dedicated to getting us as much photos as possible. In the suites he knew the layout of our venue so well and where to get the best shots. He had all my brothers laughing and smiling because of his great sense of humor. At the church he continued to make sure we took as many photos as we could and what ever photos us(bride and groom) wanted he was willing to take and would not move on till we got the ones we were looking for. Back at the venue when our families were all there he was great at making sure me and my wife got away for some private photos where once again he knew the venue and best places to go. His timing was great we finished posed photos with 15 minutes to spare before the cocktail hour started. Hopefully you decide to go with Park Ave during your next event and it goes as amazingly for you as it did for us.

We put our trust in them since they knew the venue and had a vision... and I'm so glad we did! The pictures and video turned out AMAZING. They were both so easy to work with and super nice. We received a teaser gallery of photos about two weeks after the wedding, then our full album was ready about a month after our wedding. All the photos were downloadable right away so I could post to social media immediately which was a huge plus lol. We received the video about six weeks after the wedding and it was SO worth the wait. I am beyond happy with how it turned out, John captured all the good moments of the night. Overall, my experience with Park Ave Studio was great. I am SO glad I decided to use them as my vendor and I will be sure to recommend them to future brides. Thank you!

Hope to see him again at my other daughter's party (Quinceañera) April 2016 which will be 150 guest. Trust me he can handle the amount of people. Although, I had a photoblast photographer as well, Vincent took the bulk of the pictures that was displayed on a 55" monitor throughout the night. I also love the fact that I got my daughter's pictures the same day before he left woohoo. Updated: He did it again. Thank you Vincent for making another one of my daughter's day extra special. He was ON TIME as usual. My daughter had the Astorian Room which is part of the Grand Ball room it holds a minimum of 150ppl. 92% of the 150ppl showed up. He was able to handle the amount of ppl. My daughter and her 10 damas got ready in the Bridal Lounge which has its own area for photo taking. Point blank he's better than great. I recommend his service to anyone.

I can not even begin to discuss the disappointment with this company and no one should feel…read moredisappointed on their wedding day. The photos I received from my wedding were terrible. Amanda was my photographer. The assistant photographer did a better job than my main photographer. The photos looked like an absolute mess. The getting ready photos that we're taken in my house, we're not set up by the photographer at all. She was just snapping photos from every angle with dresses, bags in the back, my bridesmaids in the back doing their own make up, all the bridal robes all over the place. When I brought this to their attention they used Covid as an excuse that they are unable to move things out of the photo and lack of space in houses (Funny - because my house has a ton of space). The whole point of having a photographer is to set up the scene if they didn't think the photo looked nice then she should've moved me to a different angle with nothing in the background. They also used the excuse that these were all candid shots. A candid shot is still set up nicely. I will The photographer put no creativity and energy into taking the photos, it was as if she just snapped a random 2000 photos and hoped for the best. When the photographer walked in, one thing I was specific about was where to take my detailed shots. I showed her the location of where I wanted them and trusted her that they would be done this way. She instead took it upon herself to use a different scene with my kitchen and microwave in the background of the photos. She was too busy in my house taking pictures of random things, like a half eaten tray of fruit, a tray of bagels that was already cut into, magnets on my fridge, and picture frames in my house instead of focusing on me and setting up the scene to make the photos look nice. Some of the most important moments such as the first look with my father, walking down the aisle with my father were messed up and blurry. These are photos that I would never be able to retake. I was actually concerned and wanted to bring it to the attention of Silver Fox and had a nasty response from Danielle, basically blaming everything on candid shots and Covid. I was then redirected to the manager and explained everything to him. I also mentioned why we didn't take more photos outside and his response was the photographer said it was cold out. My wedding was in March, obviously it was cold but I was the one in the dress and I was not complaining. He acknowledged that my photographer did remember me specifically telling her where to take the detailed shots and instead did it in a different place with the kitchen as a backdrop anyway. I was told that since I am feeling this way he could edit 20 photos for me. After spending almost $6000, being extremely disappointed and embarrassed to show people my wedding photos, I do not think that editing 20 photos would correct how I felt. It was the way the photographer did the job. Apparently after several emails, the photos are up to Silver Fox studios standards. That says a lot and anyone that is reading this review should know that apparently they have very low standards. I got better pictures from my friends iPhones the following day.

Was so impressed when we first met with Silverfox. All of our meetings went well, communication was…read moregood and overall we had no complaints. Fast forward to when we got our wedding pictures back and everything went downhill. Prior to our final meeting we were given a "shot list" that included pictures that are taken and we were given the opportunity to add anything else. Well, we kept it as is with the exception of a picture or two. The main photographer assigned to me (the bride) is highly recommended but honestly, I would think 1000 times before recommending her. She dropped the ball on so many pictures. Failed to capture A LOT of the typical pictures; not to mention they were on Silverfox's shot list. I asked for a picture with my MOH/sister and was told we would take them later..I mean, excuse you but we're taking this picture now. Then we were taking family pictures and she felt the need to single out a very close relative - making her feel bad. Again, they are my pictures and if I'm not kicking anyone out of my pictures, why are you?! Our videographer was no better. Our second photographer was honestly the better of the group so kudos to her. When I took my concerns to the Silverfox team, specifically the General Manager. Although he tried to work with us, we were still very underwhelmed. He agreed that a lot of coverage was missed and although he recreated some important pictures, I'll always know they were recreated. He "comped" our thank you cards; however, we received the first set and they were truly unacceptable. They were stained and the corners appeared burnt. Once I sent him pictures of them, he agreed that they were horrible and agreed to create another batch. Well I went to pick them up this time and to no surprise, they were still unacceptable and I'm truly embarrassed and refuse to send them out. I reached out via email and phone and didn't hear back. I asked for the contact information for the owner and once again, the GM put me on the back burner. Of course they were paid and are happy; however, we were not happy with the service they provided. The team at Silverfox should be held accountable especially when they provide a shot list and lack in producing the pictures and for the unacceptable thank you cards they produce. I will NEVER recommend them to anyone. I could go on and on about our experience with them.

100000/10 !!!HIRE THEM!!!…read more S27 exceeded my expectations and truly made the day perfect to say the least . From the very first moment, I felt as if I was hanging out with my best friends. The entire team's warmth and support made me feel safe and comfortable, allowing me to truly enjoy every moment. I feel so passionate about this because getting married is such a vulnerable time. It speaks volumes that I felt so safe and comfortable during a vulnerable moment such as this one. The photo team deserves such a praise for how they treat their brides. I especially want to highlight BoyWonder and his team, whose kindness and positive attitude shone throughout the day. The team ( boywonder, Michael, jordan, andrey, and john) approached every moment with genuine enthusiasm and care, helping me feel at ease in front of the camera. Their supportive demeanor made it so much easier to relax and capture the essence of the day beautifully. Despite my crazy family dynamics they managed to get me through it all and keep the smile on my face. They helped me with everything: hair, makeup, gown, veil, anxiety, and truly they were an ear to listen. I am not one to have so many people cater to me but they were genuinely happy to do so. Every bride deserves to feel this way. Additionally, the music was absolutely perfect. I cannot emphasize enough how amazing the music was throughout the day. The DJ team curated a perfect playlist that captured the essence of our celebration, seamlessly blending our favorite songs that got everyone on the dance floor. Steve and Nick's ability to read the room and adjust the music to ensure that the energy was always high, and that our guests were having a great time blew Michael and I away. Not only did they keep the party alive, but they also treated every moment with the care and attention it deserved. Their professionalism and expertise were evident. The music truly enhanced the atmosphere, making our wedding an unforgettable experience. I could not have picked a better photo and music team . Lasltly, Christina and Leana were a major help in all of this. They organized meetings and lists of what i needed to do before the wedding. They emailed and checked in on me frequently. This was nice because it was evident they care about their clients/ customers. If youre thinking about hiring studio 27.. DO IT!!

The result was I ended up in a screaming match with the MC as he attempted to refuse the song. This song had no vulgarities or anything else about it that could be seen as offensive.
