He gave me great tips and trick that made my photos turn out amazing! His home studio is a very welcoming and professional environment.

Will definitely be reaching out to Youra anytime we need a photographer in the future!

What you need. He calls the instructions and guides you through the shoot. And let me tell you... every picture is a touchdown. Another thing: the turnaround time is quick. He won't make you wait in in the last stretch of the fourth quarter. You probably have a busy schedule, and Preet knows that. You can trust this man with you and your loved ones' important life moments. Whether it's a team photo, Julie's graduation, or Gracie's baptism, I'm calling Alio Graphics.

He delivers great quality photos unique to each person/ session. His turnaround time is great as well. So glad I found him as I am looking forward to including Eric and his work in more of my life's milestones.

Konrad exceeded our expectations. He came highly recommended by a friend and we were really glad we…read morechose him. It was a simple Brooklyn wedding and we didn't want to be tied down by a photographer getting shots of us the whole time and so we were 50/50 on getting a photographer. After meeting with him few months before the wedding, he put our worries at ease. Through the whole process leading up to the wedding day, he followed up to ensure that he had all the information he needed for our event and our timeline. The day of the event, Konrad was phenomenal! He did more than what a bride would hope from a photographer! He took the photos he needed without being intrusive, sorta like a fly on the wall as he called it, kept us on time and on schedule without putting unnecessary pressure, and kept my family and the bridal party entertained through the whole process. When it came time to take the group pics I have requested, he was concise and executed the line up as I instructed. My groom, I, all my family and guests really loved him and enjoyed his company and jokes during our wedding. I would highly recommend Konrad! He is professional, talented and a real class act. He came on time to our meeting and to our wedding event, followed directions very well, and delivered our photos very fast. He took great pics and even more amazing candid shots during our wedding that really captured all the feels and how much fun everyone was having on our very special day. Thank you so much Konrad!!

Konrad is super professional, fun, easy to work with, organized, flexible, and most of all, TALENTED! I knew from the start I had chosen the right photographer because of his attention to detail in planning and making sure every aspect of the day was accounted for. He was always available to discuss changes in plans and throw around ideas. My girlfriend (now fiancée!) only met him on the day of and in a short amount of time was able to see just how awesome he is. Add all of that to the pictures he took - we were just blown away. Every friend and family member has commented on how amazing our pictures look - that we look like we're in a movie. All because of Konrad's genius and creativity! He directed us on what to do and made us feel so comfortable, and as other reviews mentioned, made everything feel so natural and fun. He was so pleasant working with our families once they surprised my girlfriend, and knew exactly how to take cues from what was going on and what they wanted in the moment. He is just absolutely everything you want in a photographer; hiring him is one of the best decisions you will make for your big event.

We decided to go to Steven Wu after checking out his yelp reviews and made a few inquiries through…read moreemails and phone calls, and we are very happy with the experience. Over the phone, steven took time to get to know you and your story, try to get a sense of what kinda pictures/portrait you are looking for and record your story through the lens. We did both city hall wedding and a private 2 hours outdoor shooting on Long island. As always, he arrived early ( earlier than us). City Hall Wedding For most couples, it's prob. their first time, so having a wedding photographer who is patient and experienced with the process definitely ease a lot of the stress. I remember Steven kinda walk me through the process over the phone before the court wedding date, giving your tips that actually helped a lot. The actually "ceremony" is quick, but sometimes the wait can be a little long, he really takes time to capture each moment for you along each step of the process. Outdoor Shooting I told Steven that I love nature, and I like artsy/cool pictures. Steven suggested morning/evening time where the light has a lot of variety. For me, he is sort of an impressionist, trying to capture beauty throughout the changing light. He is creative, and also open for suggestions. We loved our pictures. Notes: Pictures in this review were downsized, and I changed a little contrasts and light (so you can't see our faces). Ask Steven for some portfolio work, which you can get a better sense of his styles (and maybe some pose ideas).

Steven Wu is an incredibly talented photographer! My S.O. and I made a trip with our family (we…read morelive in California) to New York over the summer in May. It was my S.O.'s first trip and my millionth time to NYC. Our family had already decided that we were getting engaged and having our engagement party this upcoming November. I wanted to make this trip memorable, as it was his first trip, so we decided to do our engagement photos in NYC! I researched photographers almost everyday for a month when I stumbled upon Steven and his amazing reviews! We don't regret hiring Steven! He was absolutely amazing! We had been together for 6 years and we never did any type of photo shoot together. Our shoot was on a Friday morning in Grand Central Station and then in Central Park. Imagine a typical Friday morning at Grand Central. It is very, very, very busy and packed. We met up with Steven there and he asked us to go stand in the middle, of what seemed like thousands of people, and go pose. Needless to say, we felt SO awkward doing that. The second Steven started talking to us, we got so comfortable. The whole time we were with Steven, we only noticed him and each other. He made us totally forget how nervous we were and made us forget about the hundreds of people walking by and staring at us. I recall him saying he was in technology or something before he started doing photography but I swear, he must have some training in psychology because he like hypnotized us into feeling so calm and comfortable. Once he started clicking, we were so calm and at peace. We just focused on each other and the hilarious conversations we were having with Steven. Gosh, he kept us so entertained & happy! He truly is such an amazing man!!! I researched photographers for a whole month and am so glad I found Steven! I couldn't imagine a better photographer. And as far as the pictures go, they turned out AMAZING!!! For our first ever photo shoot, they were the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen! NY has such a special place in my heart and I'm so pleased that Steven was the one who captured my S.O. and I's first trip there! I would very highly recommend Steven to anyone who is looking to engagement pictures, family photos, party or wedding photography, anything and everything! You will not regret hiring him!
