We were so happy we chose to work with Adam. He beautifully and accurately captured so many special and important moments for us and it feels like we can truly relive our wedding every time we look through his photos. Adam was so great to work with throughout the experience. His eye for color, light, and perspective came out absolutely beautifully in all of our pictures. We greatly appreciated Adam’s calm demeanor throughout the wedding day and his non-intrusive approach to capturing special moments in an authentic way. We had so many family and friends come up to us to tell us how nice and accommodating he was. Adam was there and ready to capture every special moment of our day but his presence never felt imposing. We were actually surprised when we saw many of our pictures because we didn’t even realize he was there for those moments. This meant that so much of what he documented that day felt and looked natural, which is exactly what we wanted.
Hiring Adam was the best choice we made for our wedding. Out of all our vendors, he was the easiest and kindest to work with, in addition to being incredibly professional, creative and flexible. Adam worked with us when our first venue and date fell through and continued to be a source of ease and calm as we planned our wedding day. He facilitated a wonderfully fun and unique engagement shoot in downtown SoNo, worked hard to make our excessive list of family photos happen on a tight timeline day of, and captured so many special candid moments of our wedding day. We have so many beautiful photos to remember our wedding day and we are forever grateful to Adam for helping us capture all of the wonderful moments (and making it such a stress free and fun process)! He was also great about including our dog for both engagement and wedding day pictures and even went above and beyond after our wedding day to make all our photos look absolutely amazing.
Adam was absolutely fantastic at our wedding on 5/25/24 at Tarrywile Mansion. He captured all of the important moments day of and we swear he was everywhere but we barely noticed him which was exactly what we wanted in our photographer. His photos are expertly framed and his natural capturing of the vibrant colors of the scenery was truly art! His eye for details and the ease in which he set up group shots was so appreciated. He was so professional and easy to work with and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend him more!
We recently hired Adam for our wedding and I could not be more happy! Adam has a documentarian style of photography and captured so many amazing moments that day. He was friendly, easy to work with, and professional. Neither I nor my husband had ever been professionally photographed, but Adam made us feel at ease.
Adam delivered a ton of beautiful photos very quickly and I’ll cherish them forever. I would whole-heartedly recommend Adam for any of your special occasions! He’s amazing!
Book Adam!!! He’s incredibly talented and we are so happy with our beautiful wedding photos. He was also so easy to work with and made a piece of the stressful wedding process completely pain free. Could not recommend him more - feel lucky to have such beautiful moments captured of our special day.
If we could give Adam a million stars, we would! Adam was able to capture every moment of our special day while maintaining a profession and calm demeanor (which was much appreciated by a bride who did not want to stray from the strict timeline). When we first saw Adam’s work, we appreciated the light and airy feel of his photographs. He seemed to capture the individuals in their truest form. Then once we had our engagement shoot, we were able to truly appreciate Adam’s ability to make two not so photogenic people appear so natural in front of the camera. We received our engagement photos very promptly after our shoot and seeing those images made us so excited for the big day. As previously mentioned, Adam’s personality is exactly what you want in a photographer who is with you the entire wedding day. He made us, our bridal party, family, and guests feel so relaxed and that is reflected in all the images we got back. Which, I might add, was not even 4 weeks after our wedding! It is truly amazing to us the number of images we got back as well. We know that our wedding day would not have been as perfect as it was if Adam had not been involved!
Adam was wonderful to work with. He made everything easy and was relaxed and easy going throughout the entire process. He managed to take beautiful photos of us at our wedding despite our awkwardness around being photographed. All the pictures from the day were incredibly beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with our experience!
Adam is fantastic! He was very patient with our nervous laughter throughout our entire engagement shoot. He was very communicative and organized during all of the planning and captured everything perfectly on our wedding day. Our guests loved him! He was also very fast in getting all of our pictures back to us, which given the crazy wedding season this year, was very impressive. Highly recommend!!
We cannot speak highly enough of Adam! He is a talented photographer and is an absolute pleasure to work with. He helped us select locations at the venue, was patient and professional with our families, easily adapted to any last-minute changes, and worked well with all of our other vendors. Most importantly, when we received our sneak peaks (so quickly!), we were stunned. The photos that Adam captured are beautiful, moody, and capture us and our personalities so accurately. We recommend Adam without hesitation!
From the beginning of working with Adam, he was nothing but flexible and helpful. When setting up our engagement shoot, he was so helpful finding locations. Once we figured out where to meet, we quickly learned that Adam will do anything to find the best shots and have fun while doing it! I remember being so nervous about what the pictures were going to look like, we got them back and I was like wow these are unreal! Then, Covid hit and we the uncertainty of our wedding was difficult. We decided to have a very small ceremony at private residence and Adam was on board. He not only was so professional COVID wise but he also stayed beyond the agreed hours just to get more shots of our special day. He gets your pictures back so quickly and is so helpful with explaining how to access your pictures. All in all, during these uncertain times, make the choice to use Adam, you won't regret it!
I am SO happy that I hired Adam Garelick as our wedding photographer. First off, we were happy we were able to elect not to do the engagement session (great for others, just not our thing). And we really appreciated his style and quality of the photos. We had a mix of posed shots and tons of great documentary-style photos of moments we are so grateful to have captured. There's also a great mix of close-ups and further away shots so we have the photos of the landscape around the day too. We got our photos back very quickly in the online portal and he sent us a drive of the photos in the mail as well. The main thing I was looking for in a photographer was super high quality photos with an artistic eye (plus affordable!) and he delivered on all fronts. Highly recommend!
Adam is an absolute joy to work with!
We were initially drawn to him because his photo gallery made it clear that he didn’t just take the same posed photos over and over again; he really seemed to understand the people he was photographing, and captured their personalities/relationship.
We opted for a package that included full-day coverage of our wedding, as well as an engagement photo shoot. During the engagement shoot, he made us feel so comfortable, and we had a really fun day. When the photos (GORGEOUS!) came back (quickly!), we were so pleased that he really captured us as a couple! We knew that our wedding photos would be nothing short of exceptional! At just a few days past our wedding day, we already have some sneak peeks that are STUNNING! I cannot wait to see the rest in the coming weeks! 11/10 would recommend!
Our experience with Adam for the entire wedding process (engagement shoot to wedding day) was just fantastic! We were eager to book him, as he shot 3 of my husband's cousin's weddings and their photos were beautiful! Adam is such a sweet guy - Alex (my husband) is quite shy and I was afraid he would be uncomfortable during the engagement shoot, but Adam set us both at ease and we had a ton of fun. Alex may have out posed me! The images captured the fun and the love in a way that was unique to us. Adam was also unafraid of travelling a bit to find the right location and it was much appreciated!
As for the wedding - we cannot stop looking at the photos! Adam has a background in cityscapes, so our wedding in Providence, RI allowed for some pretty urban shots, but the wedding photos themselves, were precious. They are funny at times, tear-jerking at others, and overall just gorgeous. I can't thank Adam enough for organizing large groups of excited family members, dealing with the occasional drunk bachelor, and sneaking precious moments behind the scenes. We are forever grateful for his services and recommend him without reservation!
Adam Garelick is a true artist and an absolute pleasure to work with. We loved him from the very beginning as we spoke with him over the phone after he was recommended to us by a co-worker. The ease of conversation and like-mindedness we shared around photography style made it feel like we were talking with an old friend. On the day of, Adam’s presence was known, but never intrusive. (In other words, we knew he was hard at work but it never felt like the paparazzi was around.) He was very generous with his time, capturing everything from us getting ready all the way through to our after party. Within a months time he sent us a thumb drive with all of our pictures on it, and we were thrilled with the abundance of gorgeous, funny and touching images we received from him. He has an incredible eye for candid shots, color and beautiful composition. His innate ability to vividly tell a story through the vision of his lens comes through loud and clear in his work and we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to capture our wedding day. Adam simply is the best!
Adam's photographs are absolutely breathtaking! He did our wedding and engagement photos and they all came out so beautifully. He was extremely professional, hard-working, and flexible with us. Adam went above and beyond and worked till the very last moment of the night capturing every last detail of our big day. Adam's keen eye and attention to detail are evident in every photo he takes. We are thrilled with the variety of shots we received. Adam did a fantastic job capturing so many authentic candid moments throughout the day as well as gorgeous portraits with all our family and friends. Our family and friends can't pick just one "favorite" picture in our wedding album. There are just too many great ones to pick from! I would recommend Adam to anyone who wants a variety of beautiful, natural-looking photographs that capture the most special and most intimate moments of your wedding day!
Our Wedding Planner recommended Adam, and it was the best decision we made. Adam went above and beyond- we had our first look around the corner from the venue and he arranged to make that work, was upbeat and organized to help the day flow and I had no worries about not getting all the shots I was hoping for. The photos came out amazing and we even got an awesome wooden drive that was just an added detail we loved, where the photos can be accessed forever in a unique way. You can't go wrong hiring Adam!
I cannot say enough good things about Adam. He was so fantastic to work with, and really captured every moment of our wedding. It was such a relief to open up our photos and see they were above and beyond what we hoped!
He also did our engagement shots, and was incredibly accommodating and really helped guide us through the process. He has a really great eye, especially when it comes to incorporating nature and greenery into the picture.
On the day of the wedding, he arrived early to scope out locations and took the time to photograph each of the little details. He added an artistic and candid flair to every shot. I highly recommend booking with him - you will not regret it!
Adam was the photographer at our spring wedding in the Berkshires. He was amazingly professional, easy to communicate and work with and the photos turned out better than we could even imagine.
My husband and I got married in April with a very small ceremony and hired Adam For Just one hour. Then, we hired him again for a casual reception in September! I am so happy he was available both days, I couldn't have asked
For someone better to take our photos. He was patient and flexible and most Importantly, the photos came out wonderfully. Thanks adam!
My wife and I chose Adam to shoot our wedding in Brooklyn last summer. He was a pleasure to work with throughout the process - professional and easygoing. He has a great eye and was in all the right places to shoot the most important moments, as well as some great candids. Highly recommended - thanks Adam!
My fiancé and I recently hired Adam to take our engagement photos in upstate New York. He knew we planned to use one for our save the date so he scouted numerous locations ahead of time to ensure we had tons of variety and options to choose from. Neither of us are used to being in front of a camera but he made us feel so at ease and comfortable we kind of forgot he was even taking pictures! We were smiley and giggly the entire time and that happiness truly shined in each and every photo. I am so impressed with how many different locations we were able to fit in without ever feeling rushed. I have not stopped raving about his photos and cannot wait for all of our friends and family to see his work when we send out our save the date. I encourage anyone considering Adam for their engagement/wedding etc. to absolutely hire him! His prices are incredibly reasonable and his work speaks for itself, promise you will be nothing but impressed! Thanks Adam!
We picked Adam to do some Engagement pictures for us, and are so glad that we did!! He was so prepared, even checking out the area beforehand to come up with great places for our pictures. He also made us both feel so comfortable and relaxed throughout, which really showed in our pictures - and he got them back to us much faster than we expected as well! Adam has a tremendous eye, and we could not be happier with the pictures he got for us. We highly recommend Adam Garelick Photography for any special occasion that you have coming up..I can guarantee that we will have him taking more pictures of us any excuse we have!
I chose Adam as our wedding photographer after interacting with him and seeing his work at my cousins wedding in the fall. He was very easy to get in contact with and was available to talk and email with whenever I needed to. 2 weeks before he was available to go over timelines and take any requests for pictures I had. The day of he showed up early to the venue to get ideas for some shots and got started as soon as my husband and I were ready. We really enjoyed how easy going he was and how comfortable he made us feel, especially because we had never had our pictures taken like that before. He even stayed a little longer then I had booked him for and got some really fun shots of the reception. The pictures turned out beautiful, everything I had hoped for. I would highly recommend Adam Garelick Photography for your next special life event. Thank you Adam!
