Her photos of our family are wonderful and will be cherished for many years. Her positive energy and overall professionalism are top-notch. What made the experience of working with Emily even better was her connection with our family and guests, and her adaptive, flexible approach to capturing the best photos of our special day. She overcame some tricky obstacles when our venues for pre-party family photos weren't going to happen and made lemonade out of lemons. All of our guests were impressed with her in action and have raved about her work! We will most certainly be working with Emily again and I can't recommend her enough!

She really listen to what type of shoot I was looking for and really captured the moment. I was super shocked how fast she got back to us with our album and all of the pictures came out amazing! My guest couldn't stop talking about Emily was so nice.

Amanda's photos are breathtaking. The talent she has is undeniable and she truly has a gift. The…read morebeauty of her work was of course important to us, but the way in which she was able to execute her vision for us was beyond amazing. We were so lucky she was available for our wedding!! Amanda made us feel comfortable and confident for a couple that definitely has felt awkward in front of the camera before. She was quick and efficient while having a lot of fun! I would be remiss not to mention how wonderful she is with children. My 2.5 year old nephew became her little assistant and was so eager to "help Amanda" by being in the pictures with his big smile! She made everything an absolute dream for us, I could not recommend her enough!! We already have a few teasers from the wedding and look forward to getting more very soon!

Amanda did our engagement shoot mid September and was so easy to work with. We planned out meeting…read moreand she was on time which is so important for me. Once we started walking to where we were taking pictures she got to work and the pictures turned out even better than expected. We included my dog in the pictures and she knew exactly how to get his attention. I can't wait to see the pictures she takes for our wedding. She also had an amazing turnaround. I had a sneak peek the day after and not even 2 weeks later I had all of the shots!!

We are so grateful to have had Hannah as our wedding photographer. She photographed our friend's…read morewedding, and they raved about how fantastic she was. And we can now confirm: Hannah and her second shooter more than lived up to the hype! Hannah is kind, generous, and sincere. My fiancé and I were both so nervous about engagement photos, and she made us feel so at ease. Her directions are always optional and gentle. On our wedding day, Hannah and her second shooter Brae were punctual, creative, and thoughtful. They gave wonderful suggestions of where to shoot and how to pose (especially wonderful given how chaotic the day can be). They also knew when to melt into the background to get candids. When we took family photos after the ceremony, she was sweet yet firm as we wrangled folks together. I'd also like to give her kudos for how well she handled one of my relatives with special needs who needed some additional assistance during picture time. She's simply wonderful. I can't recommend her highly enough!

10 Things We Loved About Hannah 1. She is professional, but…read morestill a real person (kind, funny, perceptive, and NOT stiff or bossy). Our whole family felt she and her second shooter were very organized and felt completely comfortable with them. And she was of course punctual, stayed the whole time, was always taking photos) 2. She's creative and gives good direction. We were so nervous to have our photos taken for our engagement shoot, but she gave us things to do that weren't "pose like this" more like natural actions we could work with and she got some AMAZING shots of us just being us. Side note: You HAVE to do an engagement shoot, there is no question we would have had the same bond with Hannah for our wedding. She makes fantastic use of light. 3. Turnaround for photos was TOP NOTCH. We got our photos before all of our friends did that got married around the same time. We were the only couple on our honeymoon that had a sneak preview. 4. Candids! If you love a stealth photographer that somehow is there for any awesome moment during your wedding. Hire Hannah. Every time I thought, "oh i wish i had a picture of this" either Hannah or Lindsay (2nd shooter) were right there. 5. Payment was easy, her gallery platform is very user friendly, and signing the contract was a snap. 6.Her pricing is incredibly reasonable for the product you get. Don't try to expect the same quality and pay less from anyone, trust me we looked. 7. Her style is timeless. No super foggy cheesy photos. Crisp, clear, elegance in every shot. 8. Pricing for prints is very reasonable. 9. She loves what she does and even though she has a bunch of clients (because I follow her IG) you feel like you are the only one. 10. HANNAH IS A BOSS. Hire her. Now.

Bethany is the best -- professional, talented, and innovative! Her photos are incredibly beautiful…read more-- from posed shots to beautiful moments of intimacy to dynamic dance floor snaps. She made our wedding day extra special by capturing all the special people in our life in a way that didn't feel clichéd and that made sure that everyone had fun. Her high energy and even keel also helped to keep our wedding day on schedule. And she really is a gymnast -- climbing on precarious ledges and standing in the middle of the street -- all to get the perfect shot. We also really appreciated our engagement session with Bethany. We hadn't planned to do one, but were so glad we did so that we could get to know each other and practice posing. The day we scheduled ended up raining, but nevertheless, Bethany's shots were creative and beautifully lit. On top of all of this, Bethany is just a pleasure to know -- kind, funny, and genuine. I can't tell you the number of wedding guests who specifically commented to me that our photographer was the best that they'd encountered, and that her energy quickly made everyone feel at ease when posing. Bethany's photos perfectly captured the moods of each part of the day and we feel so lucky to have worked with her!

Bethany Bandera was the photographer for our wedding on May 21, 2011. Photography was my number…read moreone priority for my wedding day and it was the first item I confirmed & checked off my long "to do" list. This, however, was easy because I was familiar with Bethany's work from when I lived in Brooklyn. Bethany has an eye for the simple, yet beautiful moments that can take your breath away. In any given situation she has the quickness to be almost anywhere and everywhere when these moments take place. This would be important for my wedding because it was an intimate setting, but took place in a rather large backyard space. During the wedding ceremony, Bethany was like an invisible assassin- never seen but always around capturing the most amazing shots at interesting angles. During the photo session, her energy was high - she kept everyone laughing and smiling as she organized group portraits. Everyone remained relaxed and enjoyed themselves even though we had a timeline before the reception. This was reflected in our family photos. During the reception, Bethany captured all the festivities, our friends and family co-mingling, people dancing and kids playing together. She was everywhere at once. I had told her I wanted the day to be documented in photojournalism style. And that she did. After the wedding, when I received our photos I was so happy to relive the day but from a different perspective- from that of an attendee. With a soft lens and her own sweet intuition, Bethany didn't just take photos she really captured the "magical" feeling of the whole day. That was my number one priority. Done. I highly recommend Bethany Bandera for your wedding! She listened to everything I said I wanted and then... even surpassed my expectations! Top shelf results, light on her feet, personable, professional and organized... and of course, photographs that really are timeless. Check her out yourself!

We booked a Shoot with Emily during our Trip to New York…read more Her Style of Photographie imediately spoke to us - beautiful, cinematic, captivative Before, during and after our Shoot she was not only super professional but incredibly warm, welcoming and created an enviroment that let us feel at ease. We had so much fun during our shoot and the experience was in and of itself incredible! When we received the photos we were moved to tears by how beautiful they turned out to be! She managed to not only capture our best angles but truly made the love we feel for each other transpire to the pictures. We can not thank Emily enough for her welcoming and warm approach and for her talent! We will cherish these pictures for ever and will definitely book her again!!! Book Emily Denny if you want to capture the most special moments in life or if you are just curious how these dreamy, movie like pictures look like with your face in it. Truly an outstanding photographer!!!

She thought of ideas that I never would have. The pictures came out INCREDIBLE. I'm still shocked and look at them all the time!

She got beautiful sneak peeks back to me within a week, and the entire gallery just shortly after. I can't recommend her enough and hope to work with her again in the future. Her photography and editing skills are so professional. Thank you again Emily!!!

Emily is tops! Over the years, I'd seen her work from a number of friends' weddings, and without…read moreexception was continually amazed. When it came time to find a photographer for our own wedding, there was hardly any question. We were, of course, not disappointed. Everything from the planning stage to the experience of the wedding day, to the wedding photo webpage, was professional. Emily took all of our crazy, fickle direction without batting an eye -- but also made her expectations and opinions clear as well, which helped guide us and put our minds at ease as we stressed over the details (and the prospect of subjecting the hired guns to our wacky families). Her greatest strength is in her candids -- as another review said, each one really does manage to tell a story. And when it came time to do portraits, she was a machine, managing to corral our enormous families (an amazing feat) and getting great shot after great shot, all with a smile. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family on the final photos. More "best pictures I've ever seen" than I can count. Of all of the professional pieces that were involved in putting this wedding together, the photography was the least stressful, and gave some of the greatest results. We'll treasure these forever.

We initially met Emily 6 years ago when she was shooting a friend's wedding, we have used her for our wedding and 2 other couples we know have used her as well - her photos truly tell a story - her portraits are amazing and her candids really captured the moment and heart and soul of the people that we love. I encourage anyone from New York looking for a great photographer to welcome Emily to your great city and hire her to photograph your special event! We will definately be hounding her to call us when she is in Chicago to take some professional photographs when our children come along.

Keri and her team captured all the magic of our special day and blew us away with the wealth of…read moregreat photos we'll have to cherish forever. Keri is both articulate and kind. She finds the balance in letting you and your partner take the lead on expressing yourself through photos, but offers great suggestions to snag the perfect shot. Her enthusiasm at being able to capture your love story will shine through the moment you meet her, throughout your wedding planning, and in her excitement on your wedding day. Beyond the quality of the product, which speaks for itself, there is no vendor you'll spend more time with on your wedding day than your photographers. It's so important to find the team that will keep you calm, keep you focused and keep you on schedule. Keri did all of these things: she worked efficiently and effectively; never rushing us but always keeping things moving and working stealthily to get the shot. Keri's images are crisp, the coloring is beautiful, and the candid moments the team was able to capture made us slip right back into the beautiful haze that passed far too quickly on wedding day. If you're debating across potential photographers, do yourself a favor and book Keri's team. These are true professionals, and it shows through in their work style and final product.

Selecting vendors for your wedding can be super stressful, and I researched so many photographers in the NY and NJ area. From the moment I met Keri, my husband and I were very excited.
