A Day Of Bliss Wedding Photography

ries they captured for a lifetime. They really tried to encapsulate the feeling of our venture, the outside atmosphere, and the experience of our guests. We highly recommend them!

thoughtful and beautifully mannered but also an exceptional artist, a truly singular talent that brought to life the most important day of our lives through exquisite photography. Wolfgang is organized, communicative, responsive, clear--and punctual. He patiently answered questions. He goes out of his way to ensure a wonderful experience. He is flexible--and despite a very in-demand schedule and travel--always made time to attend to what we needed, and always made us feel as though we were a priority. Look at the website--they're the most stunning images you've ever seen. I was taken at the very first, and how delighted we were to learn the team behind the lens was equally wonderful. Choosing a Day of Bliss was one of the best decisions we've ever made, and it's one that will last the rest of our lives.

y venue in New Jersey and spent 2 hours touring the venue and taking notes of all the little details I wanted. Chiaki would take pictures of scenery that was important to me to keep in her file and use on the day of the wedding. My photos are beautiful and creative, which was really important to me because I chose a venue with a lot of scenery. Chiaki even ran up to a balcony to capture the same photos that Wolfgang caught on the ground. They’ve been so pleasant throughout such a stressful time. Even after they gave me my full retouched gallery, they still met with me to show me all the images that did not make it in the album and added them to my album. I’m so thankful for them!

It was truly the best day of their lives and they loved every minute of it! Thank you for continually working with us and helping us create personalized touches, an amazing day and truly unforgettable memories. The photos were absolutely amazing!! I will definitely be recommending you to everyone in the future. You really did exceed my expectations! Wishing you all the best! Warmest thanks MOB

d'Avedo peninsula in Lenno. The research to find our photographers also took a long time since we were looking for a studio that would capture the essence of this magical place and provide us with photographs we could cherish as a keepsake of our dream wedding. Needless to say that Wolfgang and Chiaki, the team behind A Day of Bliss Photography were the perfect choice for us, they managed to surpass our high expectations way beyond what we could have imagined, they were always on time and absolutely professional, dressed to perfection and such a pleasure to work with. Responding with a positive attitude, it made the day so easy and stress free. Our families also mentioned how gracious they were and we will recommend A Day of Bliss to everyone who is looking for great, pleasant and talented photographers.

e we were well taken care of. And their work just speaks for itself. These guys are true artists and we can‘t recommend them highly enough - simply the best.

out in particular for their use of natural light, and we really wanted a bright, airy feel for our photos, particularly as our venue has a tendency to skew dark in a lot of photos. Wolfgang was impeccably professional from our first meeting, and quick to respond to emails or questions we sent his way. The package/payment process was seamless, with a secure online gateway and email reminders. On the day itself, Chiaki met up with the bridal party pre-pictures, and Wolfgang with the groom’s party. Chiaki was excellent at setting up the mood for the day – we were in sort of a frantic, frenetic state as our makeup artist hadn’t shown up and we were scrambling for substitutes, and Chiaki swooped in, took details shots out of the way of the chaos, and would pop back in to ooh and aah and tell us we looked fabulous, tell cheerful stories and just generally help everyone feel more comfortable and excited. She moved very professionally and easily around the action, capturing group and solo pictures, somehow managing to take pictures of everything without ever stopping or unnecessarily pulling people to the side. When we met up in Central Park for our first look, Chiaki was great at noticing little details such as an errant hem or fold and fixing them – she was also hilariously direct with passersby who were in the way of a great shot (and they are many, Central Park is very busy) and would shoo them away quickly. Wolfgang was a calm and relaxing presence for the groomsmen’s getting ready photos; he asked about posed shots and took a lot of great candids without being intrusive. He was very supportive of anything the group wanted to do, had a lot of suggestions for how to use the time we had, and proactive about seeking out nice shots around the park. During group shots, when everyone was getting hungry and grumpy, he was able to instill enough humor to keep us going! At the wedding itself, they were both never in the way of the action, moving seamlessly through the crowd, and taking great pictures throughout. Photos did take a while to come in – I think it was about 18 weeks when all was said and done, but we were also in the peak of wedding season, so this may vary based on time of year. And the photos are absolutely beautiful – no regrets here.

!!! The highest number available 10* stars plus!! (Alothough only lets us give 5).

t us outside as they knew we really wanted some outdoor shots and it rained our whole wedding weekend. We picked Gurney's Montauk for our wedding and they managed to find the tiny windows of time when it stopped raining to get many shots of us outside and beach pics which was so appreciated! They even remembered to get a certain shot I wanted (of our rings on the NYT cover), which I totally forgot to remind them of, and they remembered! They just made everything easy and the pictures of us are so magical. We are so happy with them! I used them after they shot my best friend's wedding at The Pierre and loved their work! Can't say enough good things.

party well but was never bossy or overwhelming-- she kept the day much calmer than it could have been. Every shot was amazing-- I wish I could frame them all! I can't say enough about this wonderful team.

with all of our questions, and a positive, calming influence during a stressful planning time - and most important of all, our photographs were gorgeous. We have gotten so many complements on them! I can't recommend them highly enough!

hey captured so many beautiful moments at the right angles and I am eternally grateful. Their skills and capabilities make for beautiful photos but what also makes them so special is their character and energy. They are the most wonderful people - kind, warm, and positive. You could not find more wonderful people to be with you on your wedding day. In my case, it made an incredible difference. There was some family drama and venue issues that came up in the weeks leading up to my wedding. As such, there were a lot of things that I didn't have time to prepare for which resulted in a wardrobe malfunction and other things that went wrong. Wolfgang patiently and thoughtfully helped edit my photos after my wedding day so that the issues with my dress were not reflected in the pictures. He was so kind. Every time I look at my photos I have joyful tears. Best decision I made with my wedding was hiring A Day of Bliss.

lose up portraiture and vignettes perfectly complement Wolf’s dominance of wider format architectural photography. I never thought I would be one to include any of my personal photos in a review, but I just had to share one for this review because no words can do justice to Wolf’s talents. Secondly, they aren’t just professional, but they are fantastic to be around: they put us at ease, gave us enough direction to put us in our best light while never feeling too contrived, were an absolute pleasure to spend time with, and somehow perfectly blended in to the background during our wedding so we were never conscious about the presence of photographers. Finally, the packages for A Day of Bliss are a wonderful value: not only do you get all of Wolf and Chiaki’s attention on your wedding day, you get digital copies of all of your photos without a watermark, a gorgeous online gallery, and an engagement shoot. I would recommend A Day of Bliss (and have!) without hesitation to even my most particular friends, and highly recommend you consider them for your wedding.

e New York Magazine wedding issue. We got to know Wolfgang when he shot our Engagement Shoot in Brooklyn. Within less than an hour in sweltering heat with only his camera (no bulky equipment or assistants), he captured the city skyline and all of the treasures in the area. He worked his magic as the final photos looked as if the weather was a cool, sunny day. Wolfgang is a master at capturing the natural light and framing the images perfectly. He also works very precisely. We were beyond happy and impressed with this shoot - we used the images for our Save the Dates, our main wedding website photo, etc. Now, onto the wedding! We got married in Brooklyn in August. Wolfgang and Chiaki were so incredible to work with. They were calm and collected the entire time. They were very flexible with our schedule, and willing to come early on last minute notice. As pros, they guided us through all of our pre-wedding photos, captured the ceremony and party perfectly, and shot wonderful candid and posed photos of the guests throughout the night. They creates a fun and relaxed environment. Again, they just had their cameras (no assistants or massive equipment). They are an amazing team and work very well together. When they provided us with the final edit after the event, we were beyond happy with the photos. They had exceeded our expectations. Most wedding photos are awkward with a lot of bright flash that either wash out the faces or are unflattering. Wolfgang and Chiaki captured the natural light so well throughout the entire evening. They captured every single important moment from the kiss at the ceremony to the cake-cutting to the horah. They did not miss a single moment. There were too many photos that we absolutely loved, we probably could have made a final album with 500 photos. Lastly, they have been a delight to work with throughout the 2 years we were in contact. Wolfgang is incredibly responsive via email and always happy to meet in person. Most importantly, they know their trade so well, so we trusted them throughout the whole process. Wolfgang comes from a fashion photographer background so his work is grand, artistic, precise, and beautiful. We hope to work with them again in the future. We would 100% recommend working with them. You will be thrilled with the photos from your wedding - and in the end, the photos are the most important part!

cere, warm human beings. That makes it so much easier to relax in front of the camera on your big day. More importantly, they're incredibly skilled. I took one look at their portfolio and knew that I wanted to hire them. Frankly, they should be charging more for the quality and package that they offer. It took me two years to decide on which photos to choose, as they were all phenomenal! My entire family was blown away at the quality. Not a bad problem to have at all! Wholeheartedly recommended with zero reservations!

every time we look at these magical images and we can feel the same emotions we felt that day. Thank you again, A Day of Bliss, we are so happy we made the right choice and we can only recommend you to the highest degree, you are so talented, professional and so easy to work with.

rried in NY last July. From the beginning, I knew I wanted A Day of Bliss Photography for our wedding. For almost a year, my husband suggested to me different photographers that he knew but I could not change my mind about Wolfgang. I was completely seduced by his work and the reviews about him were all amazing and so truthful. I couldn’t believe it when he said yes to be our photographer. I was thrilled! We wanted timeless and artistic photos and Wolgang knew exactly what we were looking for. He has responded to all our requests and the result is fantastic. The photos are breathtaking and we loved working with him and his partner Chiaki. They were professional and easy-going at the same time, creative, attentive and responsive from the very beggining. I HIGHLY recommend them. Photography is an art and Wolfgang is a MASTER. Thank you so much Wolfgang for making our special day unforgettable and fun. You and Chiaki felt like friends and having you as our photographers was priceless. Our friends and families in France were speechless seeing the photos and you made NY even more romantic than Paris on your pictures.

They understood exactly what we wanted and they delivered without a flaw. Cannot recommend them enough!

m photograph four big life events including my June 2017 wedding in Washington D.C. One thing I love about them is that they are all yours on your wedding day. They arrive when you ask and stay till the very end. The finished product is incredible and is a level above anything I have seen from my many many friends who have gotten married and paid similar amounts for photography. They do travel, and have photographed my events in New York City and Washington D.C. Their work speaks for itself, take a look at their portfolio . Starting with an engagement session is a great way to get to know them, get a feel for them and also for them to get a feel for you and how you move.

uldn't recommend A Day of Bliss more!

e lovely and the photos truly capture the energy from our wedding. Highly recommend!

was very composed and even took notes, showing how engaged he was in our discussions. However the work truly speaks for itself. As you browse this portfolio, you will notice a storybook quality but also classic style which we simply adored. He and his partner photographer, Chiaki, operate with the highest level of professionalism. Having not met Chiaki before my wedding day, I was impressed how efficient she worked upon arriving at the bridal suite and also adapted to the pace of the bridal party getting ready. Both of them made our photograph sessions fun and stress-free! Finally Wolfgang and Chiaki did an excellent job capturing our entire wedding event! When we received our gallery, we were blown away by all the precious details & moments they were able to capture -- many of which were candid! It was such a reward to see our special day behind the lens of A Day of Bliss, in full detail and with artistic thoughtfulness. Plus we did get the rights to download high-res files of all of our photos. We cannot thank A Day of Bliss enough for making our start to end photography process smooth and memorable. Up until the day we opened our BEAUTIFUL album package, we’ve had an amazing experience with this business. I’m so happy we found the best fit for our style!

airy shots. These were the exact words that came to mind when I saw their wedding shots. Wolfgang really worked with our budget and did the best he could to personalize a wedding package for us and we truly appreciate it. So many other vendors are familiar with Wolfgang and Chiaki's work including our wedding planner and our videographer. After getting advice from other vendors and reading online reviews, we took the jump and hired Wolfgang and Chiaki and I have to say we are absolutely thrilled with the decision we made. Our engagement, garba, and wedding pictures are absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait to see my album! And taking our pictures was no easy task. My husband and I had our wedding on the hottest weekend of the summer, it was literally a heat wave. And yet our pictures look amazing as if it was the perfect weather outside. Both Wolfgang and Chiaki are professional, curteous, and accommodating. They even dealt with my crazy drunk groomsmen in 100° weather! I would recommend a Day Of Bliss photography to any future bride and/or groom if they are interested in timeless pictures versus trends. Thank you Wolfgang and Chiaki for making us feel more than just clients and making my dream wedding pictures come to life!

he really understood our vision. We wanted photos that were natural and beautiful and he really did a phenomenal job of capturing those special, emotional moments on our wedding day. Even the posed photos read in such a beautiful way. And the colors! Many of our photos were shot at Old Westbury Gardens and I can't even explain how breathtaking those images are. To top it off, Wolfgang was incredibly patient with us, easy to work with and very responsive anytime we had a question or issue. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend them--both for their incredible work and professionalism.

e ever worked with and they helped make our day a huge success! The beautiful pictures exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier!

. My wedding was only 3 weeks ago, and I haven't seen the pictures yet but I know they will be beautiful. I wanted to get this review out ASAP because Wolfgang and Serge were just so great on our wedding day. We had a lot of traveling to do that day and were nervous about getting from place to place but everything went off without a hitch. Our day felt very hectic with all the running around but I have complete trust in the team and know they shot everything we needed. I cant thank Wolfgang and Serge enough for their hard work that day and cant wait to see the final results!

s work, resulting in photographs that I felt like could have come out of a magazine - but at the same time perfectly captured the emotion of the day and of our personality. We are thrilled with the results! The one watch out I would give is that it took a while for him to respond on several occasions and they took an extra month to deliver the final selects. Overall, very happy!

. When we came across A Day of Bliss and saw the beautiful albums on his website we knew there was something special about Wolfgang's work. He operates with a high degree of professionalism and the process from beginning to end was a breeze. I was so nervous about getting my pictures because my expectation was so high, when our picture gallery arrived all I could say was "AMAZING", every picture was beautiful! Wolfgangs and Chiaki's style and manner in capturing our special moments was so cool and unintrusive that we were always in the moment. We had so much fun during the picture taking and throughout the day. He nailed it, family, friends, background and every fine detail. I will close this review by sharing with you what I shared with him 'Wolfgang, you are an artist and I am a fan!' I highly recommend!!!!

beyond to help us pick great locations for our photos and to capture the perfect shots.

mpared to the absolutely love and awe we developed for him and Chiaki the day of our wedding. We recently got our pictures back and Wolfgang and Chiaki captured exactly what we were looking for and more. Our pictures do not look awkwardly posed like a lot of wedding picture, we aren't awkwardly gazing at each other's eyes, we are laughing and walking, normally. The wedding captured the love and quirkiness that we share as well as our love for Central Park. Once our wedding was over, my husband and I were already thinking of the next event where we would be able to book Wolfgang and Chiaki. By the end of the night, they felt like our friends, close people who knew exactly who we are and what we wanted. I honestly could not recommend them more!! If you get married in Central Park or New York you would be making a huge mistake by not booking them. (It would also be a mistake if you get married anywhere else!)

aphy classes so I had an idea of what to look for. When I looked at the photo gallery for A Day of Bliss I knew that the photographer had a creative eye and took quality photos. I knew right away that I wanted to use this photographer, but would it break the bank? I reached out and received a response from Wolfgang who was able to create a package to give us what we were looking for. As far as the price goes, I felt that it was very reasonable for the quality. I will admit, there were a couple other places I checked that were cheaper, but when you compared the quality and creativeness of the photos, A Day of Bliss was significantly better. You get what you pay for and for your wedding day do not go cheap. There were also a couple places that were more expensive but I saw no difference in the quality, so why pay more? Our wedding was the day after Thanksgiving at 10:30 AM and photos started a few hours before this. Wolfgang arrived at our hotel on time and was an absolute pleasure to work with. He knew several great locations in Central Park to take photos and gave great direction on what to do to make the photo great. A few weeks later, we received our photo proofs on a secured website and they were absolutely stunning. I shared a couple of my favorites on Facebook and had several people comment that the photos looked like they came from a magazine. Yes, they are that awesome. Through the website you have the option to purchase photos through A Day of Bliss or download them. While you could have photos printed anywhere, I would always go with printing through the photographer. Maybe it is just me, but it seems like you lose some of the photo quality when it’s not printed from the original source.

y husband and I both work in advertising on the creative side, so we're super picky about photographers. A Day of Bliss delivered! Each shot was crafted and composed beautifully. A lot of nice, natural shots too. No cheesy stuff. Both Chiaki and her assistant worked extremely hard all day and we're so thankful. Wolfgang was a pleasure to correspond with throughout. Book them while you can!!

le who are so very talented and also so lovely personally. From day one, they made themselves available, offered helpful suggestions, and were generally a pleasure to deal with. A couple of months before the wedding, Wolfgang even came out to meet me and my mom at the venue to scope out the best places to shoot on the day of the event. When we wanted to do an extra photo shoot in Manhattan following the wedding (which was on Long Island), Wolfgang and Chiaki met us downtown around midnight to do the shoot (after spending hours shooting our pre-wedding festivities, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). It was freezing that night - but they made the shoot lots of fun regardless and truly took the most beautiful and creative photos of us in a place that was special to me and my husband. Both photographers made our guests and us feel comfortable in front of the camera, took truly stunning photographs, and really went out of their way to deliver the best work product possible.

ely detail oriented & picky, but Wolfgang Freithoff and assistant Chiaki Sato are hands down the most talented photographers I have ever met. In my research, I fell in love with his portfolio and was impressed to see that he travels the world to shoot weddings. We received our proofs just this week, and I was genuinely mind blown by each and every one. Each photo is a work of art. Everyone that I have shown so far cannot believe how beautiful they are. Wolfgang was a pleasure to work with, and he and his assistant are very professional. They blended in with our wedding and weren't in the way at all. Chiaki came to my house at the beginning of the day, and the way she took detailed photos of my shoes, dress & rings was truly amazing! I will absolutely use Wolfgang anytime I need a professional photographer in the future- he was worth every last penny. If he is available for your wedding day, you are one lucky bride & should jump on the opportunity to work with him!

s. Working with Wolfgang was an absolute pleasure. He was so readily accessible via email and text despite his busy work schedule. I absolutely loved my albums! His work is not over-touched or fake, which is extremely hard to find in the wedding industry. It's just simply elegant. Our photographers were just not something we had to worry about at all during the wedding planning process because they were incredibly prompt and professional. I can't say enough good things about A Day of Bliss.

would highly recommend them!

gang was always responsive, and a pleasure to work with. On our wedding day, we had Wolfgang and Tanya as our photographers. Everything was seamless, and they were extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. There are no words to describe how wonderfully they captured our special day. The photographs that we received were all STUNNING and our album is absolutely beautiful. We received almost 700 edited imaged after the event. This did take over 2 months to receive, but it was worth the wait. Not many photographers enhance/edit that many images for their clients and i think this is a very special service that Wolfgang and his team provide. I would highly recommend ADOB as a vendor and i couldn't be happier with the entire experience.

h are professional, polite, easy to work with, and incredible talented behind those lenses. I found A Day of Bliss through Pinterest and went with my gut to hire them without meeting in person first. It turned out to be one of the best (if not the best) decisions I made about our wedding. I also love the way the company processes contracts. For someone who reviews contracts regularly, I'm really impressed of the system they set up. Compared to other vendors that we worked with, they are much more on top of things. When it came to our wedding, Chiaki and Wolfgang spent the whole week in California to ensure there was no travel hiccup. They met us multiple times, scouted out the venue the day before, and were working tirelessly the whole wedding day (about 12 hours or so). That is dedication!!! I really appreciate people who love what they do and who do it well. And that is how I would describe this incredible team. We recently got a couple of photos as a preview and my husband and I are so happy on how they turned out! I had a fear that we would look awkward (we tend to not look so great in pictures), but they look beautiful. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures. Hire them, ASAP!

e we envisioned. She was a perfect match with our diverse guests and families from all over the world and she put us at ease from the moment we did our engagement shoot and with her calm, pleasant demeanor on our wedding day. Not only did she capture all the important moments with a creative touch but all the details and decorations were done perfectly, nothing was left out. The pictures are amazing, she is truly talented. We can highly recommend Chiaki Sato and we will not hesitate to refer her to all of our friends.

ey captured everything perfectly! Everything was happening so fast during the wedding that it was all a blur for us but thankfully Wolfgang and his team were there to capture so many great moments...Moments we didn't even know existed until we looked through all of our pictures. It's like we're reliving our wedding again! I have already looked at our wedding photos dozens of times. So many of our family and friends have complimented on the quality, creativity and the quantity of the pictures. I can't fail to mention how patient and accommodating they are as well! Just amazing!

the results; we received nearly 800 retouched and stunning images. Chiaki's retouching is a true art form, leaving you more beautiful than you could have imagined. The engagement session is a great opportunity to practice with Wolfgang. He makes you feel comfortable and gives direction when needed. We shopped around a lot before finding A Day of Bliss...and I can say with certainty, their prices are MORE than fair. You get a print of each photo, a USB of all photos (making sharing and printing images easy), and ten larger custom prints...which is much more than most companies offer. If you want to be able to remember your special day with beautiful images beyond your expectations...choose A Day of Bliss Photography!

es absolutely perfect. I wanted vendors that I didn't have to worry about on day of, especially because I had a destination wedding. Chiaki and Wolfgang spent a considerable amount of time on the phone and in person discussing my vision and were always available by email or phone to discuss changes or ideas. I'd highly suggest getting a package that includes an engagement shoot. This was a great test run and allowed my husband and I to get used to being photographed :). Their pictures will be cherished for a lifetime!

stunning photographs. I would highly recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for elegant, timeless wedding photos!
