I HIGHLY recommend Werth Photography for wedding photos in Philadelphia. I found them on The Knot…read moreand booked them for our Philly destination wedding. It felt risky because I would only meet them on the day of the wedding - turns out booking Werth Photography was one of the best decisions I made during wedding planning. Here's why: Matt and Laurie understood it was their job to capture the day, not be the center of the day. After the wedding, all my wedding guests had horror stories to share about demanding, oblivious, self-centered wedding photographers. Everyone remarked on how wonderful it was to work with Matt and Laurie. They were pleasant, gracious, and considerate throughout the day. They were so discreet during the ceremony, I never once noticed them take any attention from the service. During the day, it was obvious they had listened when we talked about what we wanted and did not want for the photographs. Speaking of, Laurie was a fabulous communicator throughout the planning process. She graciously offered expert advice, such as when I was considering whether to have the entire ceremony bilingual, 'One of the best ways I have seen two languages integrated into a ceremony was...'. She was willing to work with us to make our unique wedding - a tiny Sunday afternoon with only 19 people - a special day for us. She was even able to get a beautiful photo of us to us the night of the wedding so we could send it out with wedding announcements the day after the wedding. For wedding photographers, the proof is in the pudding. We've seen a preview of our photos and are AMAZED at how WONDERFULLY they turned out. Can't wait to see the rest! If you need wonderful photographers for your special day in Philly, contact Werth Photography!

Words cannot express how thankful…read moreand happy we are that they were there to capture our day, and the photos are even more magical than we could ever have imagined! The husband-wife pair is such an amazing treat - they get it! And their approach is the perfect mix of positive energy and subtlety. They managed to capture all the best moments of the night, without being in the way. When we wanted them, they were right there. They were truly a delight to work with. And their style is EXACTLY what we wanted. So vibrant, so dramatic... so incredibly cool. For a night wedding, it was perfection. We are over the moon! THANK YOU!!!!

We hired Will to photograph my son's low-key casual wedding. He was fantastic!…read more First, he was the most responsive of all the photographers we contacted. He discussed with the couple and was happy to work with their plans and what they did and didn't want, and very thoughtful about the photography options with great suggestions. He was a super nice guy as well. The day of the event he was professional, very flexible in the face of lots of cooks in the kitchen, clearly knew what he was doing, and really nice to work with. He knew how to compose shots and make them look great. But most important, the pictures came out wonderful! Finally, his fee was completely reasonable and appropriate to the occasion (unlike other photographers we contacted who said they had a minimum wedding fee whether or not it was a large, standard wedding event). I would say he exceeded expectations, and made it a super comfortable low-stress process. I would 100% hire him again!

David Feinstein Delanco, NJ 08075…read more For over 40 years I was a New York City Business Manager specializing in the Entertainment/Music Industry. Representing many celebrities from the USA, UK, Germany and Brazil and a few other countries. Many of our celebrity clients are well known and have been recognized by many magazines, movies, records, Billboard charts, etc. Over the years I have collected some beautiful memorabilia, mostly Celebrity signed guitars. And, the Saxophone that was part of President Bill Clinton's inauguration signed by some celebrities who attended the Gala. Recently, I decided to have a Professional Photographer take some professional pictures of all the Memorabilia, including the signed guitars and the Saxophone. After doing some online research, I found a local/Philadelphia photographer with a studio in Philadelphia. His portfolio is really high-quality pictures, including beauty, fashion, still life, advertising and promotional. Of the many different portfolios that I reviewed I related best to his work and decided to engage his services to do a professional shoot here at our home where all the memorabilia are on display. When I received the results of the "shoot", I was totally pleased with the photos and the way he presented it all. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is seeking the services of a top-rated professional photographer. Believe me you will be happy with the results as I am. Vikrant was easy to work with and clearly understood what I was looking for from him...he's a talented professional whom I am happy to have made his acquaintance and would use and recommend him to anyone seeking great services from an awesome professional photographer.

Absolutely wonderful photography and about the best you'll find in the Delaware and greater…read morePhiladelphia area. They specialize in wedding, promotional and creative photography but we've experienced his wedding services. Paul was professional, dressed professionally, had a second-shooter to make sure all the basis were covered. I was also impressed that his website doesn't focus on contacting him nor does it provide a long diatribe about how great the photographer considers himself; he puts his work out there across several mediums and allows you to judge for yourself. Most of his business appears to be captured through word of mouth but he's in heavy demand and getting on his schedule can be tough, so if you're interested in this guy, booking him sooner is better.

Recently, a last minute audition came up that required a professional headshot, so I searched for…read moreheadshot photographers in the area and I found Paul Pruitt Photography. I called Paul, and he told me he could fit me in the next day at 5:30/6PM. Unfortunately, when the time of the appointment came, all contact was lost with him. I tried calling, texting, e-mail, he simply would not reply to any of them. Then, I went to his studio in Wilmington, and there was nobody there. It wouldn't be until two days later, only after I tracked down his personal Facebook and messaged him there, that I managed to get in contact with him. His reply was a simple, "I am having family issues, please find someone else." And that was it. Family issue or no, it was highly unprofessional of him to not give me the courtesy of at least letting me know that he would be unavailable so that I could find another headshot photographer in time. My only option became to submit a homemade headshot, which will most likely significantly decrease my chances of getting noticed by the casting directors. And the worst part is that he didn't even apologize. He might as well have said "f*** off." This man is unreliable, untrustworthy, inconsiderate, and clearly does not care about his customers. He had the audacity to set an appointment and completely shrug me off until it was too late. I can't even tell if his "family issues" story is real, as his Facebook wall suggested he was happily watching the Super Bowl while I was desperately trying to contact him. Regardless, the simple fact of the matter is that I relied on him, and he screwed me over. My audition might as well be ruined. This is simply not good business practice. If you want a trustworthy photographer who cares about his customers and who will keep his appointments, I highly recommend you find someone else.

We are absolutely speechless! The photos that Julie and Dutch took are beyond our wildest dreams!…read moreThey are absolutely stunning, its hard to pick our favorites. They captured the most important moments of our life so beautifully. It was a pleasure working with such an amazing couple. Their expertise and excitement put us at ease.

We are so grateful to have these memories of our special day, that we can look back at for years to come!  We can't recommend them enough! Having Sweetwater Portraits as our photographer was the best decision of our wedding, besides getting married of course ;)

All I can say is wow. Just wow. As many brides can attest, planning a wedding makes you realize…read morethat you have opinions on things that you never thought you'd have an opinion on. For me, that was wedding photos. There are a lot of photographers who produce highly stylized - and to be clear, very beautiful - photos. Some give off a dark, glamorous vibe; and others use a sort of tan/whitewashing filter. While I really like those looks, for my wedding, I wanted a photographer whose photos looked less stylized, and more like really good quality, truer-to-life pictures. When I saw Sweetwater's pics, I knew I'd found my photographer...and that was reaffirmed after I chatted with Dutch, and after he helped my husband and me make decisions about where to take photos, what we wanted to capture, etc. On the day of the wedding, Dutch and his team were AWESOME. They were organized, attentive, and kept everyone on track. They were also so fun to work with, and they more than played along with the very goofy sense of humor that my husband and I have. Everyone in my wedding party was talking about them, saying how great they were, and for good reason. They killed it. As for the photos themselves, I've gotten so many compliments since posting them. As self-conscious as I am, they made me feel so beautiful, and I cannot recommend booking them enough. Dutch and his team at Sweetwater are true professionals who know what they're doing and know how to herd tough wedding parties with a firm, yet warm approach. I'm so, SO glad we hired them for our wedding day.

We ended up with many more online views than we ever expected. Even those that attended in person went back to watch the replay. What a wonderful way to make our event personal!!

He surely did not disappoint with his recommendation. From the initial planning; to the last minute changes due to weather, Damon's friendly and easy going personality always seemed to get everyones best smile at the perfect time. The turn around time on the presentation of the pictures was super quick. The seamless process to view/order/download the prints was even easier than the planning. Finally the Prints came this week in time for Holiday gifts, and they did not disappoint, very vibrant colors, great background scenery and bright natural smiles. I would highly recommend Damon to anyone looking to savor some memories.
