We used Amaranth for our wedding photography in February 2015 at the Metropolitan Building in LIC…read more They were absolutely amazing! In addition to the modern digital cameras, they used this lovely very old school camera that produced photos that went really well with the Art Deco theme of our wedding. Our biggest concern with the photography for our wedding was that it would all be indoors, this lacking the sunlight that helps for outdoor photography. Amaranth did a fantastic job with the photos, using the space and unique lighting circumstances. We happily recommend them to any of our friends that are looking. You'll look at your photos over and over again, it's one of the things that you want to make sure it's done well. Make sure they are in your short list.

Lin photographed our wedding and was a perfect photographer for our second-wedding, back yard affair. She captured the casual and natural moments as well as the planned and posed ones.

Can't say enough good things about her - you'll love her!

Tried to hire her for photos and we agreed on a date, I asked if she needed a deposit or contract…read moreor anything and she didn't say. Then a few days before our photos, I reached back out because I hadn't heard from her, and she said she never booked it because we "didn't have a deposit or contract," which I had asked about! And when you run a business, you would think that you would send a contract out right away. I luckily found someone professional at the last minute who did a wonderful job. From now on, I will go with hiring real photography companies and not just a random person with a camera.

We paid $385 for a Christmas Vintage Truck mini session. I received and downloaded the 5 photos…read moreincluded in the package and the lighting of the photos is horrible. It was a sunny bright day on the day of our photo shoot and the photographer did not account for this in her planning and executing of the session. In the pictures you can see the sun hitting all of our faces on one side and the quality is very poor. You can also see the yellow and orange fall foliage on the trees in the background...so while we are sitting on a nicely decorated Christmas truck, it is clearly fall in the background. When I expressed these concerns Krys said she could re-edit the images. She sent me a sample re-edited image which still had the horrible lighting and the fall colors. She also did not edit the vintage truck name "Joe's Fix-it Goshen NY" off the truck like she was supposed to. Her reply to all my concerns when we went back and forth via email was "every session is unique by location, setting, lighting and situation but your portrait gallery is in line with my work and other sessions from that day. I can't control Mother Nature (lighting, fall foliage, etc.). I think your gallery turned out absolutely beautiful and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season." The bottom line is this was not worth $385 and yes it is a photographers job to get the lighting right on the pictures they take. Pretty sure that is taught in photography 101. If anyone would like me to send you the photos she took before you book please message me on facebook under Kristin Hawley

From the initial consultation to the big day, he was professional, organized, and so much fun to work with! Ryan listened and took the time to understand our music preferences and created a playlist that perfectly captured the vibe we wanted. He kept our guests on their feet all night long! What mattered most to me was that the evening flowed effortlessly--and thanks to Ryan's experience and professionalism, it absolutely did. A few things didn't go exactly as planned, but Ryan is so smooth that no one even noticed. Thanks to him, it felt flawless! As our MC, he managed every transition seamlessly, read the crowd beautifully, and kept the energy high from start to finish. The sound quality was top-notch, the lighting set the perfect atmosphere, and every special moment felt perfectly timed--even when things behind the scenes weren't! We received so many compliments from guests about how incredible our DJ was. If you want your wedding or special event to be unforgettable, I can't recommend DJ Ryan-O highly enough!
