Barry’s style and affordability caught our eyes immediately. Through our engagement photos, and the photos on our wedding day, he was professional and the images we received are be...
autiful. He uses easy-to-use platforms to download and share photos. The only thing I wished we had done was add on a second shooter for a small upcharge. Although Barry was giving it 110%, there was so much going on that a second shooter could have been helpful. Barry is talented and I have no hesitation in recommending him to any couple getting married!

You and George were incredibly fun to work with, and I enjoyed getting to know the two of you and also enjoyed how easy going you two are and of course George's humor :) Having 2nd photographer is always a good idea, and sometimes it is hard to tell if its right for every wedding. I think we were able to make it all work and capture all of the essential and creative moments.

Our experience with Barry at 2 Artists Photography was awesome! He was professional yet very easy going which put us all at ease. They offered many different priced packages which...
made our decision to go with them even easier.
Barry successfully captured all of the memorable moments for our Vow Renewal/39th Anniversary Celebration. He patiently listened to all of our ideas and requests and perfectly captured what was important to us during the special day.
We were thankful for his flexibility when trying to reschedule our "couple's sunset session" when the weather didn’t cooperate. The shots were stunning!
It was such a surprise when all of our numerous digital photos came earlier than expected.
We’d highly recommend 2 Artists Photography.

nd selects great locations for photos. The day of our engagement photo shoot, Barry spent extra time taking pictures of us even though we were only scheduled for one hour and suggested creative and fun poses for my husband and me to try. It is clear how much he loves photography. At our wedding, Barry took the most incredible photos and was very patient with all of our requests for the pre-ceremony family and wedding party photos. During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, Barry took hundreds of amazing photos. My husband lifted me during our first dance, which was unplanned so we hadn’t warned Barry, yet he was able to get multiple perfect photos of the moment. We are so happy that we hired Barry and would definitely hire him in the future for photo shoots!

We could not be happier about hiring 2 Artists Photography (Barry & Liz) for our wedding! Because of COVID we were in a situation where we were doing 2 ceremonies on different date...
s (one intimate ceremony with just family, and then a more traditional/larger wedding later) - Barry was so accommodating and allowed us to flex a few of the hours of our package to the first date so that we had beautiful photos for both! I'm a hobbyist photographer and the photos were one of the most important parts of the wedding to me - and Barry and Liz were amazing and really exceeded our expectations! When we first met with Barry, he stood out to us because he shared some of the more technical details of his process (his editing process, where he sets up lighting, how he has worked with videographers in the past, and other details) - I feel like this made it easier to visualize the services he would be providing, demonstrated his expertise, and made us feel at ease. Barry and Liz are very calm and easy-going and fit really well with our personalities - they have a nice manner of making suggestions and keeping things moving without ever being over-bearing, and at the same time they were thoughtful and unobtrusive during some of the key points of the wedding (ceremony, dances). There were a couple shots / backgrounds that were really important to me to get and they were flexible and accommodating with those as well. We loved working with them and will definitely be interested in hiring them again for family photos / portraits / any photo needs we have! We will cherish these photos and memories!

hed around and we ended up having a smaller wedding a few weeks earlier... Barry was extremely flexible and made sure to be there to take photos for us and it meant so much (especially because this was a LAST SECOND change!) And he even was able to take photos for our wedding reception which was months after our small wedding. I am so grateful for his flexibility and kindness in such a chaotic chapter of our lives! The photos Barry took for us (engagement, wedding & wedding reception) all came out so wonderful. He really captured what each event represented to us & I feel he captured the theme of our wedding reception so well. We were able to enjoy our wedding reception without having to worry about a photographer “getting in the way” or flashing the camera in our face... you don’t even notice he is there. He captured so many genuine moments at our wedding that I didn’t even think he’d have a picture of. THANK YOU BARRY!!!

Both Barry and Liz of 2 Artists Photography photographed our wedding. In making our photographer decision, we were able to ask Barry all sorts of questions, in person and through ...
email, and he always answered them fully and graciously. An engagement photo session was also included in our package, which was a great time to get to know Barry even better and what it was like to work with him.
The day of the wedding went well, especially since we had a small, modified wedding in July, during the pandemic. They had some unique ideas and good advice about photos to take, and they helped us keep the flow of the day going. My husband and I felt comfortable with them documenting some special moments.
We ate dinner before the bulk of our bridal party photos, and that dinner ended up running about an hour later than we planned. Both photographers were still ready at our chosen photo location and didn't rush us or hold anything against us. For all of our photos, we felt that we had enough time with them and the freedom to suggest additional ideas and shots.
We received all the photos they took from the wedding, which ended up being about 1,600. They were uploaded into Google Drive and given to us on a flash drive, and we have all the rights to do what we want with them. For the experience and product we received, we were very happy. Eventually, when things are safe enough, we will have our full reception, and we are looking forward to having them photograph that, as well.

We really enjoyed having Barry as our photographer for our wedding and our engagement shoot. He is really passionate about photography-a real scientist with the gear, too-and took ...
tons of photos during the wedding. He's flexible and good to work with, dependable, and didn't seem too thrown by the rain that struck on our wedding day (thank goodness!). I would suggest having a good quality photo-list and be ready for a little bit of posing yourself and your wedding party, as this will help you both and he's happy to work off of the list, but isn't super forthright with posing people in the photos. I would definitely recommend his work, he was fantastic and his pricing was really reasonable.

My husband and I had such a great experience working with Barry - not only was he top notch at capturing the moments most special to us, he was incredibly accomodating in traveling...
from Lancaster, PA to Baltimore, MD, Pasadena, MD and Westminster, MD for our engagement shoots and wedding! We were impressed with his vast knowledge on the inner workings of the photography equipment and how patient he was (we are complete newbies to getting our pictures done professionally!). He was more than responsive to any questions or concerns we had and returned all of our photos in a timely manner. Our wedding also went by very fast (as they say they do!) but Barry was able to capture the BEST moments that I otherwise missed in-person. I could not recommend Barry at 2 Artists Photography more. Thank you so much!! :-)

During the wedding and reception we hardly even noticed they were there, but they got great shots of all the important moments. We rolled through posed group photos of family and friends no problem after the ceremony. About two weeks after the wedding we received hundreds of digital photos; great candid shots of both people having a good time and beautiful portrait shots.
We are very happy to have selected 2 Artists Photography for our wedding!
