My husband and I booked Anée Atelier in 2018 when we were originally scheduled to have our wedding in 2020. Due to the pandemic, we decided to push back our wedding to 2021. While scattering to find a new wedding date that was available for all of our vendors, Gina and Shenna were so responsive and accommodating throughout the entire postponing process. We were so lucky to have found such incredibly talented and kind photographers. From the moment we met Gina and Sheena, we knew they were the perfect duo and had to hire them. Gina and Sheena were so amazing to work with, from our engagement shoot to our wedding day, they both were so calm, organized, and professional. Just within a few days after our wedding, Gina and Sheena sent over our wedding photo previews. We were over the moon with excitement while viewing each beautiful photo. Thank you Gina and Sheena for everything, our day wouldn't have been the same without you capturing our special day!
Gina and Sheena of Anee Atelier photographed our daughter's wedding recently. We are television and film directors and are highly opinionated about photography. Gina and Sheena handled the day perfectly, wrangling many eager guests, family members and friends. Everyone was included and photographed. The highlight of their work, of course, is the photographs. They are, in a word, stunning. Each and every one is framed, lit and composed beautifully. The bride and groom look sensational, as does the rest of the wedding party. Moreover, they captured the beauty and elegance of the ceremony and the rousing joy of the reception. These photographers are absolute professionals and artists as well.
I just want to start off by saying the my are WORTH EVERY PENNY! It was so hard for me to find a photographer that I loved ALL of their work. They made my fiancé and I feel comfortable and natural while taking photos. They had a bunch of edited photos for us in less then 24 hours! Which I can not thank them enough! I’m so grateful they were available to do our wedding!
My husband and I agree, Anee Atelier were the best investment we made for our Wedding Day - Hands down! We are from Australia and had our wedding in New York for a Christmas Family Destination wedding.
From the emails and chats on the phone to dial in the timeline and coverage of must-have pictures through to the delivery of the photos in its crystal USB; Gina & Sheena from Anee Atelier were flawless in their communication. They totally understood what we were hoping to achieve with our photos and on the big day, they came prepared for every possible scenario.
Gina & Sheena managed to find details that we hadn't even considered and incredible moments that happened on the fly. The images they captured were so diverse in style and really show the beautiful change of mood and environments throughout the day. The actual process of being photographed was seamless and fun for both of us and our wedding guests. Every imaginable family photo we could have wanted is there.
The images we have we will treasure for the rest of our days and have loved watching the reactions of our family as they see the photos for the first time. These ladies are true professionals and we are so grateful that they were our photographers.
So there's a reason for the 150+ 5 Star Reviews for Gina and Sheena aka Anne Atelier - Our wedding pictures are PHENOMENAL - Pure Magic!!!! From the start of the process to the very end, Gina and Sheena are incredible professionals, welcoming, and experts at Photography! Friends and Family have stated our wedding pictures should be in Vogue or Harper Bazzar - That's the quality of their photography. They capture our most precious moments from the bride getting ready, the groom popping champagne, the ceremony, the reception, and dancing! Once we dropped pictures on Social Media - I haven't seen as many likes and comments ever since. Gina and Sheena possess the magic to capture our essence during the wedding. We would highly recommend Anne Atelier for a wedding, any major life event, even a damn selfie :) We are so pleased by the finished product and we are incredibly grateful they were part of this major life event for my wife and me.
Thank you!
Words can’t describe our experience with Anee Atelier. They exceeded our every expectation, even after reading the reviews on here. Gina and Sheena were simply the best part of our wedding day outside of the moment we said “I do.” Their presence throughout the day was reassuring and calming. As soon as Gina and Sheena arrived, my groom and I and our wedding party experienced the most professional, calm, calm-ing, and fun photo sessions any of us had ever been a part of. Gina and Sheena are both lighthearted and professional. Their buoyant personalities, humor, and smiles kept us all floating through our entire wedding day. When makeup or even our Rabbi were running late, Gina and Sheena were gracefully rolling with the punches, and making everyone feel at ease. Even many of our wedding guests commented on how sweet and fun they were throughout the event.
Aside from how terrific they are to work with, the final photos came out simply stunning (not to mention, they arrived back so quickly…we had teasers within a week, and final finished photos within 5 weeks). We feel honored that their beautiful work is our wedding album. They’re an incredibly talented duo, with remarkable editorial quality. It’s no wonder that Anee Atelier shoots weddings all around the globe. We have such wonderful memories from our wedding, and we have Gina and Sheena to thank. Love them.
The best there is hands down... There's just no comparison. They are the best duo in the industry. They are so professional, kind hearted, prepared and just a joy to be around for 9 hours! We love them and are very grateful to have them capture our special day. It was truly an honor. I can't recommend them enough.
Having the right photographers capture your special day is one of the most important vendor decisions you will make. Anee Atelier was highly recommended to us from a wedding industry professional, and we are forever thankful for that. They are hands down the best in the business! It was immediately clear to us that co-owners Gina and Sheena are passionately building an amazing brand together. They were both extremely interested in investing in our story and executing for us on our special day. Because of their passion for what they do, we now have a treasure chest full of absolutely amazing wedding photos that perfectly captures all the love and detail we put into our wedding day.
The day of our wedding, Gina and Dan were our two photographers. Both of them are extremely talented and trained on executing details that go beyond just taking breathtaking photos. Gina was also of enormous help in buttoning my gown, and Dan was the go-to man to help the Groom and his men tie their bowties! They both were super easy to work with, but assertive (and, not bossy at all) when they needed to be. Our entire wedding party really loved them! They mastered the ability to take a lot of amazing photos while letting you enjoy the day without feeling like you have taken a lot of photos. From the ceremony to the reception, and everything in between, their attention to detail and grace far exceeded our lofty expectations. Our photos came out better than we could have ever wished for. We were even ahead of our day-of timeline when taking our first look/wedding party photos which is unheard of. For all those looking for a photographer to capture your special moments, we honestly cannot recommend Anée Atelier highly enough.
Sheena and Gina are photographic geniuses!!! They captured the day and the spirit perfectly. They were focused and drove the pre-wedding pictures confidently but without being pushy. The bride and groom felt an instant connection to them and were at ease which is reflected in the pictures. From the first make up stroke to the end of the party their energy never faltered.
We cannot say enough about them and look forward to working with Sheena and Gina again. By the way the pictures are fantastic!!!!!
HIRE! THESE! WOMEN! My husband and I had an intimate cocktail reception at Craft in NYC. Gina came to my hotel to take pics while I got ready, while Sheena was with my husband doing the same. We met up for our first look and a slew of pics around the city before heading to our venue. We're not "picture people" and are both uncomfortable being the center of attention, which is why hiring Gina and Sheena was the best possible decision we could have made for our big day. They will immediately disarm you and put you at ease, while simultaneously filling you with confidence and excitement; It's like hanging with old friends who you somehow only just met?! Can't say enough good things about these hilarious, warm, and talented women. We're as thrilled with the results as we were with the experience; The variety, composition, artfulness and overall impact of our pictures are the best I've seen. Truly. Book 'em!
Hands down The Best!! Gina & Sheena are not only amazing photographers but the sweetest girls you will ever meet. From the first phone call they make you feel like your wedding day is their top priority. Bringing along a positive energy every bride needs on their wedding day! They were our first vender we booked and never questioned our decision. Gina and Sheena put together a wedding timeline that worked perfectly into our day. Not only were we getting married outside in late October and fighting the light we also have an amazingly energetic two year old we wanted in all of our pictures. We thank them for every captured moment that we will forever cherish of not only us but of our family. We were lucky enough to watch them work at three weddings before ours and every wedding got us more excited they were our photographers! These girls are Prompt, Professional, Fun & deliver magical photos. What more could you ask for ! Definitely Our favorite wedding vendor!
Gina and Sheena are amazing wedding photographers. They were professional, fun, and, most importantly, they captured so many beautiful, memorable images from our wedding. Kelly and I were beyond thrilled by the results.
It is difficult to convey in words how lucky we are to have found Gina and Sheena! From the moment my husband and I met them we instaneously fell in love with their love for weddings and their passion for photography. First and foremost, they were genuinely committed to understanding every intricate detail of our wedding. On the day of the wedding they helped faciliate every important moment, eased nerves, and made our family and friends feel comfortable. This is evident through the stunning photos. They captured the big moments, subtle details, and the love shared on our wedding day. Their professionalism and dedication to our wedding was priceless . We highly reccommend Anee Atelier as your wedding photographers. Not only did they give us timeless photos but they captured the indescribable feeling of being a bride and groom.
I want to get married all over again just so I can spend more time with these incredible women!
The quality of their work speaks for itself- they are both uniquely talented and together, they make an incredible team. Every single one of our wedding photos came out amazing. When I look at them, I get overwhelmed with the same tear-jerking happiness I felt on my wedding day.
As far as personalities go, I haven't met a cooler pair. Their positive energy is contagious - every single member of our wedding party felt it and loved it! Working with them was easy and exciting at the same time. Both our engagement shoot and wedding day felt casual but glamorous, organized but layed back, on time but we were taking it easy.
Their professionalism deserves compliment as well. They knew when to take the lead and when to fall back. When to make us laugh and when to toughen up. They organized and photographed over 50 people before the wedding began and once the party started, they somehow disappeared into the crowd, but still managed to capture amazing photos of all of our guests.
Gina & Sheena, thank you so very much! We are forever grateful to have been lucky enough to have you on our team and for your incredible work!
Words cannot begin to express how happy I was with the work that Gina and Sheena did for my wedding! I am a very organized type A personality who loves lists! So when the girls presented me with a wedding timeline before I had made one, I knew I had found my girls! They arrived right on time and kept to the timeline exactly (because they knew that's what I needed). Their energies were so calm and kind, they fit in with my friends perfectly. Sheena had the particularly challenging task of keeping my now husband and his friends on time, and they arrived at the venue early, which was not an easy feat! What we ended up with were photos that were not only beautiful, but told the story of the day. I look back at them now and feel the love and joy of that day. I cannot recommend these two superstars highly enough. Trust me when I tell you, if you book with them, it will be one less thing to worry about.
I don't know how to begin to describe these two UNBELIEVABLE women! Booking them for our wedding was by far the easiest decision of the process. We had the chance to meet Gina and Sheena for our engagement pictures a few months prior to our wedding. While i had already booked them, we still hadn't worked together yet. The moment we met, I was put at complete ease. They are professional, quick to respond, fun, and easy to work with (we felt like we were spending the day with friends). I had tons of questions and any text or call was never a problem to answer. They had TONS of ideas for our engagement pictures and they turned out stunning. Everyone asked me who shot them. All of our pictures are amazing. All of our bridal party, family, etc loved Gina and Sheena as well. They are just the best to work with. Open to any idea or suggestion. The day of our wedding was a windstorm & they easily navigated the entire venue with everyone to get the best pictures. I don't think this review can fully encompass how happy and glad we are we booked these two. I could just go on and on. The bottom line is you wont regret investing in them for your wedding day. If anything, you will regret NOT hiring them.
Let's just say this...my wife & I chose Anée Atelier BEFORE we picked a wedding date or venue. Everything else came after. #priorities
No review could ever capture the greatness that is Anée Atelier. Nonetheless, I will try because these powerhouse photographers were hands down the BEST part of my wedding experience (and yes my husband knows I said that, ha!). From our engagement shoot, to the very end of our wedding reception, Gina & Sheena brought nothing but perfection and ease. In addition to capturing absolutely stunning photos (and I mean, STUNNING!), these two were able to make every single person feel comfortable and cared for. They were energetic, professional and fun. They even helped keep my wedding planner on track!
Anée Atelier is truly the best in the business - their camera work, drone capabilities, eye for lighting & design, editing skills, turnaround time...everything they do...is impeccable and everything they touch turns to gold. Oh, and did I mention they're two of the sweetest people I've ever met? Ok, just making sure :)
In short, our wedding (slash life, ha!) would not have been the same without Anée Atelier. They blew our expectations out of the water and we are SO lucky to have hundreds (ok, ok, thousands) of PERFECT photos to show for it.
Gina & Sheena should be labeled the “Dream Team”. There is an infinite amount of incredible qualities Gina and Sheena brought to our wedding day! From the moment I contacted Gina, we knew we wanted (needed) to work with them. From their bubbly personality, professionalism, and service we knew it was meant to be. We appreciate their ability to capture so much more than just a picture, but a genuine moment. They have a way of getting to know their subjects, understanding the dynamic between them, and delivering a piece of art in a way that is truly unexplainable. Six months later and we're still getting compliments on the amazing job Gina and Sheena did on our photos. Choosing this incredible team as our photographer was the best decision we made. We wholeheartedly thank you for being such a special part of the best day of our lives. It wouldn’t have been the same without you.
Gina and Sheena you are remarkable photographers and people! We are truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to have you both shoot our wedding! You so perfectly tetter the balance of professional and friendly. Your images are soulful and capture the essence of us as a couple. It really was a “real time” experience, where each moment captured is how we remember it; with smiles, happiness, silly faces and tears. I cannot thank you enough for how much you put into our day and to getting to know our families. You are a dream team and we love you. I would refer you a million times and I would chose you to capture our wedding a million times over. Thank you so much ! We love you and hope every bride and groom feels as happy with their photographers as we feel with you!
I cannot express how great a job Gina & Sheena did as the photographers for our wedding. Without a shadow of a doubt, they were the perfect choice and more than expected my quite high expectations. It began with the first phone call, where Gina & Sheena were so personable, organized, and radiated enthusiasm. It was a no-brainer to choose them and a decision we felt comfortable making only 2 minutes into the conversation. The engagement photo shoot was effortless on our part and Gina/Sheena communicated and directed us well. The photos captured that day were perfect and provided very quickly.
In the months between the engagement shoot and the wedding, Gina and Sheena were quick to respond to any questions. In the two weeks leading up to wedding day, there were multiple phone calls re: timing, desired shots, logistics, and they put together a very comprehensive timeline of the day. On the wedding day, Gina & Sheena worked seamlessly together, capturing multiple angles and emotions that we'll forever treasure. Their positive energy, attention to detail, and easy-going natures made it impossible to be nervous about anything. Additionally, they made sure all of the important shots (family, out of town friends, etc) where captured. I cannot recommend Gina and Sheena enough; they were absolutely amazing throughout the entire process and the quality of the photos we received are phenomenal. I highly encourage anyone to work with these two wonderful women; you will not be disappointed.
Choosing Gina & Sheena as our wedding photographers was the best wedding decision we made! From our first FaceTime meeting they made us feel so comfortable and we knew we could trust that they had the creative vision we were looking for. When we met for our engagement shoot they made us feel so relaxed and they had great ideas for poses and angles as well as lots of candid shots. We were obsessed with our engagement photos and so excited to work with them again for the wedding. They were so professional throughout the whole process, they always responded to our emails/texts right away when we had questions and they made it feel like we were talking to good friends. We got a teaser package of photos about a week after the wedding and loved every image! We just got our wedding pictures back (just a little over a month after the wedding - such a short wait) and they are absolutely amazing!! Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how good the pictures look and even my hair stylist who does tons of weddings said she was immediately impressed by the quality and aesthetics of our pictures. The hardest part will be choosing which ones to put into an album. The pictures truly captured the love and happiness of our wedding day to perfection. We strongly recommend choosing Anee Atelier for your wedding, we couldn’t be happier!
Gina & Sheena are not only talented, amazing photographers, they are amazing people & I want to be their bffs. From day one they were prompt, professional and so damn cool. My husband and I were looking for photos that captured all the important details but were still fun and unique. From the second I spoke with them on the phone I knew they were the right fit for our wedding. We had so much fun with them at our engagement shoot (literally got in the water at the beach with our clothes on). Gina was then like a mini wedding planner helping me iron out many details for the day of. Their presence at our wedding was something I am forever grateful for - they kept everything running smoothly and handled our bridal party like champs (we had 30 people including bridesmaids/groomsmen/flower girls/parents and grandparents). Gina & Sheena’s creativity, work ethic and genuine passion for what they do is unmatched! Love them and can’t recommend them enough!!
How long can I go on about Gina and Sheena and the team at Anee Atelier? WOW. What lovely, lovely people to work with. Right from the get-go, they were really knowledgeable and down-to-earth. They jumped on a quick intro call with me and walked me through ALL the event details - even told me when my sundown was for my November wedding - which was a big deal! It really influenced whether or not I did a first look, which I highly recommend. You still get your wow-factor moment with the groom and then you get to keep your cocktail hour instead of having to be pulled away quickly for pictures. They knew all my and my husband's family members by name when they arrived, and knew exactly who was an important relative outside of the traditional family layout. They really take the time and care to make sure the pictures reflect your love and loved ones on the most important day.
And the talent? Absurd. I just received my EIGHTY teasers and I am blown away at how elegant and poised they portrayed the affair. Their team of photographers has a very aspirational and editorial feel - injecting high style into every single shot. They're a boutique group, too, and never once did I feel like anything but my vision was at the forefront. The level of service was top-tier. I loved my day-of team, who made sure everyone felt authentic and confident. I couldn't give a higher recommendation.
Gina and Sheena were the absolute best and a pleasure to work with. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day and had so many great ideas for poses. The photos were so creative and so so beautiful. I'm in love with each and every one of them. They are simply the best at what they do and I would choose them every time. <3 Thanks again!
Gina and Sheena were absolutely amazing!! They are both so fun to work with. My husband and I hate taking pictures but Gina and Sheena made us feel so comfortable and relaxed and we had so much fun with them! Working with them was so easy, they are on top of everything and super organized. We got teasers 2 days after our wedding and had our full gallery within the promised time of ~5 weeks, which is amazing! I cannot stress how amazing and talented these two ladies are, I wish we could get married again just so that we could use Gina and Sheena again :) Not to mention our pictures came out stunning, I am so happy with them! Choosing a photographer is so important and I highly recommend Gina and Sheena, one of the best decisions we made!!
5 stars is not enough.. gina & Sheena deserve 12 stars all the way! Anée Atelier has become a wedding must have for our group of friends who all got married in this past year. In my entire wedding process they were the best money we spent. From your first phone call you feel like you have two new friends. They listen to exactly what you want and have a vision for you that you didn't even know you wanted, but its exactly what you needed. My husband is not into pictures. He is charming for sure but once he's done with being told what to do he's DONE. Both gina and sheena understood that the wedding was going to go dannys way and they just rolled with it. They got him to cooperate even when he didn't realize he was! He even claims they are the only ones that could have handled him and his rowdy bunch ( friends mooning the camera and all) My pictures exceeded every expectation i had. I would recommend to the world. i can't wait for the rest of my friends to get married so we can hang with these babes some more ! you guys are the best of the best !! thank you for everything, you made our day that much better <3
If you are looking for a wedding/anything photographer STOP! Seriously Gina and Sheena are photography GODDESSES. Not to mention the sweetest yet most fiery, passionate, and talented in the biz. Their work is incredible and I have never gotten so many compliments from random people, strangers, family, friends, and my other wedding vendors on their photography and ethic. They work their tails off to not only ensure your pictures are perfection but that your day is as well. From the day I met them at our engagement shoot I felt like they were friends I had known since forever, they are that awesome. They capture the greatest moments and have a true artistic talent and eye that will leave anyone that captures a glimpse of your photos saying WOW. I cannot say enough amazing things about these two beautiful souls. Seriously snag them up as these 2 are crushing the game and will be booked up before you can bat an eye.
If you are even considering using Gina & Sheena for your wedding - look no further because together they are absolute MAGIC. I originally found them after seeing previous work from other weddings they had shot and after one phone call with the two of them – we were sold. A few weeks later they shot our engagement shoot at a local vineyard and it was then that we realized how truly talented they were. It unexpectedly snowed that morning but when they suggested to shoot outside in the snow in my dress and stilettos we went with it and thank god we did because the photos were unreal.
Gina and Sheena feed off each other in a way that is indescribable. They somehow make taking photos 100 times less awkward for you as a couple and the outcome is always unbelievable. They find the perfect lighting in every setting and capture moments that would otherwise never be seen. We knew they would exceed our expectations after the engagement shoot alone and boy were we right because the wedding photos were even better.
Your wedding day flies by quicker than you could ever imagine and while you want photos of every single moment, you still want to be able to enjoy it all. Gina and Sheena knew exactly how to prioritize the entire day and get in all of the important must-have photos, while still allowing us to enjoy time with our friends and family. We have only received our teasers so far, and just those alone capture the perfection that our wedding day truly was. We are forever grateful to have had them as our wedding photographers!
It was such a please to work with this company. We had them take our engagement and wedding photos; we felt so comfortable with them and truly enjoyed our experience. The photos are unbelievable and the photographers were able to capture all the emotions we had that day; highly recommended!
Gina and Sheena were a fantastic photography team for our engagement and wedding photos! High quality talent with brilliant energy, they knew exactly what to say and do to put us at ease and capture beautiful photos. From start to finish, we really enjoyed every second with Gina and Sheena. We did our engagement photos at Central Park, where they used their creativity and charisma to capture some unique moments and make us feel comfortable. They took us out of our comfort zone, having us pose in bushes of flowers, around the lake and under tunnels. Gina and Sheena were extremely conscious of time, making sure capture beautiful sunset photos. We received our engagement photos promptly after a couple of weeks and loved sharing them with our family and friends. We got married at the Tribeca Rooftop in NYC, where Gina and Sheena were a huge value add and not just in terms of photography. They played a big role in organizing both groom and bridal parties and making sure they got out the door and to the venue on time, while capturing gorgeous photos while we got ready and on the city streets on the way to the venue. Gina and Sheena brought energy to the reception, while seamlessly capturing beautiful moments through out the night. We recently received our wedding photos and could not be more satisfied with the results. Gina and Sheena go above and beyond and we highly recommend hiring them as your wedding photographers!
Anée Atelier are amazing! My husband and I had such a wonderful time working with them. Gina and Sheena immediately make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Which is so important on your wedding day! They are so talented and really care about making it a special experience for you. We could not be more thrilled with the way everything turned out. I have received so many messages about how beautiful our photos are from friends and family. Photos are forever so thank you for making us feel beautiful and capturing all those special moments.
I can remember searching for the right photographer for our wedding - if you are in that same moment, I advise booking Gina and Sheena immediately! After our wedding, we extended a heartfelt thank you to Anee Atelier for being our wedding photographers. We had the best time at our wedding and we have enjoyed working with them so much!
Gina and Sheena are both are so much fun to be around and simultaneously know how to get things done. The groom said his time with Sheena and the groomsmen at the hotel was awesome, and I can only rave about my experience with Gina while the bridesmaids and I were getting ready. Family and bridal party photos were taken efficiently and I could tell everyone felt comfortable working with the two of them. We had a noteworthy moment at the reception, and they both came up to us with a ton of excitement and said how it was so cool! Made us feel awesome!
We also appreciated how Sheena & Gina would check in with us regularly to see if there were any specific photos we wanted throughout the evening. We felt like they were there as people who had our back to help our wedding go smoothly. Having them there really meant a lot to us.
Now that I’ve gushed about our experience that day, let’s talk a minute about the photos. They are GORGEOUS and beyond imagination. We love looking at this beautifully captured moments and reflecting back on our day. We were married in a park, and the photos are lush and romantic. We also utilized Gina & Sheena for a quick engagement-type photo session before we were married and we love those photos very much as well.
Gina & Sheena, thank you again SO much, we loved getting to know you and work with you!
We had the most wonderful experience and you have given us THE most beautiful photos of our day that we will always treasure. We look forward to being able to partner with you on additional photo needs that may come up in the future!
Evelyn & Thomas
The greatest gift the universe gave us for our wedding! Gina and Sheena are not only the most talented photographers I have ever worked with, they bring the best energy with them! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera but the "Eenas" put us right at ease and made it fun to have our photos taken. They were able to capture our vision above and beyond what we had expected. They are willing to take the lead with some fun ideas if you are game (be game, it's so worth it) or be open to your ideas or what you are looking for. They were able to coordinate 8 bridesmaids, 8 groomsmen, 3 flower girls, 3 ring bearers, and 2 sets of parents with such ease it felt like they had been part of our friends and family forever.
We had a wedding of 250-300 people and almost everyone made it a point to tell us how wonderful they are! Needless to say, Gina and Sheena will be our family photographers for years to come if they will have us!
They were real about our expectations and told us what is and isn't possible without sacrificing what we wanted. They undersold and over delivered. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring these best in class photographers.
Before we even begin discussing the incredible quality of their photos, we have to first mention how phenomenal they were with essentially orchestrating the entire wedding day. Navigating your wedding day is not always easy- especially as out-of-state newlyweds. They were patient enough to go through, detail by detail, exactly how every hour of the wedding should play out. This not only displayed their incredible wedding experience, but also their patience and understanding as a partnership. Whenever we had a question, we always received a prompt and friendly response.
Now that that's said, let's discuss the photos. We, like many other couples, decided that the one aspect of our long-awaited day that we wouldn't sacrifice on was the quality of our photos. That's the reason that after much thought, we decided to select Anée Atelier. Their attention to detail was impeccable. From the basics of lighting and framing to setting the mood for every photo, each snapshot was masterfully captured and woven into a cohesive story. This was made stress-free since both Gina and Sheena were amazing to work with. Having only met them on our wedding day, their outgoing personalities made us feel at ease and as if they were just members of the bridal party with some really good cameras.
Like every other newlyweds, we were anxious to get back our photos. They were gracious enough to release about 40 'teasers' roughly a week after the wedding. The final photos- all 1200 of them - were delivered in only 5 weeks. Even with just the few teasers that we've released on social media, their work has been quickly swooned over by tons of friends and family. We've had tons of people obsessing over the quality of the photos, and constantly saying how much they wished they had discovered Anée Atelier. What we're trying to say is that if we could give more than 5 stars, we would in a heartbeat. They are photography goddesses!!
I am still sad Gina and Sheena are booked for our wedding day, in full disclosure I didn't reach out with enough time to book for our date but if I could do the wedding planning all over again, thats the one change I would make.
I am giving five stars because after reaching out to them they guided me through my photographic vision for our wedding to ensure I booked the second best (because they are the best) photographer to capture our wedding day. Their attention to detail, availability and just flat out friendliness was second to none for someone who isn't a "paying client". I would highly recommend them to ANY bride as I know they will do everything in their power to make the couple the happiest in the world. If you have doubt, just visit their instagram which is my daily dosage of #weddingphotography goals, the proof is in the pudding!
Anée Atelier = Best photographers ever. One of a kind. A cut above the rest.
When we were looking for a wedding photographer, it felt like we searched through countless vendors before we finally found photos that stood out from the rest. As soon as we saw the beautiful, artistic candid photos that Anée Atelier captured we knew we had found what we were looking for. The experience only got better from there when we met Gina Esposito and Sheena Meekins at our engagement shoot and instantly felt that we were in the hands of professionals who knew exactly how to capture the beauty of the moment. Their amazing support did not stop there. They were with us every step of the way leading up to the wedding, willing to answer any questions or concerns, and offering advice with their extensive wedding experience. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. By the time our wedding day came, it felt like they were part of our family. Not only do Gina and Sheena have incredibly personalities, but they produce an incredible product. Anée Atelier will make you feel like you belong in a wedding magazine. Our wedding photos are stunning portraits that we will cherish for a lifetime.
This review is long overdue & absolutely necessary!! Gina & Sheena not only are wonderful at what they do, but they were wonderful to work with. Our wedding was 9/23/16 and I still get butterflies when I look back at our insanely gorgeous photos!! Besides the obvious professional, creative, and detailed qualities Anée Atelier has to offer, Gina & Sheena made us feel like we had 2 more friends at our wedding rather than just another wedding vendor. We could not say enough wonderful things about this awesome team of talented ladies!!!

Where does one even begin to explain the most AMAZING photographers? Let's start back in 2016 when they photographed my wedding day. I had a pretty rowdy group of groomsmen and was so nervous that they wouldn't cooperate (or just plain goof off), but Gina got them to pay attention, calm down and have fun. Our entire bridal party had fun, was comfortable and everyone came out great in every shot. The weather could have been better, but we made the best of it and got incredible pictures. Now let's fast forward to 2018, my best friends wedding in Puerto Rico. WOW..just WOW! Gina and Sheena came through for my BFF when her hair/makeup artist bailed, finding replacements to travel to PR. Do you know a photographer that is going to go through that trouble? Me either! They captured her weekend perfectly and beyond my wildest expectations. I want to get married again just so I can hire them and have more photos taken, but on an island this time! lol If you do one right thing for your wedding, let it be hiring Gina & Sheena. Enough said!
Words can’t describe how thankful I am for Gina and Sheena! Not only did their pictures come out amazing for our destination wedding but they went above and beyond their job description to make sure our day was perfect! When our wedding planner went missing for the entire day / night, Gina and Sheena took control of everything to make sure everything went as planned.
They are not only professional but personal and made everyone feel so comfortable when taking pictures. We are a couple that doesn’t really like to have our picture taken and we couldn’t get enough of the camera that day. They made it fun for everyone and when we received our pictures back, I couldn’t believe how amazing they were. The pictures were better than I could have ever imagined. They captured so many Kodak moments throughout our trip that helped tell the entire story of our destination wedding.
Planning a destination wedding could sometimes be harder than planning a local wedding (even though people assume it’s much easier) especially when you have close to 150 people traveling from NY. Gina and Sheena were so helpful throughout the entire planning process. We knew they did a ton of destination weddings and it’s fair to say we had very high expectations from them . After it was all said and done they truly hit the ball out of the park. They were both absolutely amazing and beyond worth every penny we spent to book them.
I don’t even know where to begin or how to convey in words how amazing Gina and Sheena are, but I am going to try.
I will keep it short and concise since I know that no one reads long drawn out reviews (at least I know I don’t!)
1. Gina and Sheena are incredible people - like as human beings they are just on another level - two of the sweetest and most rad people I’ve met in a while
2. From the first time my husband (fiance at the time) and I met them at our engagement shoot, we instantly clicked and felt so comfortable and confident with them. He is also super hard to impress and he gave them 2 thumbs up after that night
3. They give the BEST instructions to make you feel super comfortable behind the camera and the end result is a BEAUTIFUL photo
4. Throughout the wedding planning process they are there for you if you have any questions/concerns or if you need their professional advice. This is invaluable!!
5. They showed up EARLY on my wedding day - unreal
6. They were kind and respectful to my entire bridal party and my family, giving us kind instructions and dealing with us well under the strict timeline and high pressure of the day
7. They didn’t force us to do any cheesy poses or make us feel uncomfortable - they just blended in with the group and worked their magic
8. They captured the MOST INCREDIBLE photos I have ever seen of me and my husband, my friends and family, and the venue. They were able to somehow freeze in time the same magic that was in the air that day and I am forever grateful for that.
If you care about capturing the most important day of your life in the most incredible and perfect way, consider making the investment and working with these two insanely talented women. Not only will you end up with the best photos of your life, but you may end up woth two new friends in Gina and Sheena. Working with them is worth EVERY SINGLE PENNY and you will NOT regret it.
5 stars hardly seems like enough to rate the level of excellence that is Anée Atelier. The professionalism, attention to detail and creativity that this powerhouse duo brings to the table is beyond compare. From our first conversation to the last photo of the night, Gina and Sheena were every bit the most genuine, thoughtful, imaginative and supportive team we could have hoped for. Each photo they captured was a moment. Every moment was natural. All of the love and laughter we felt throughout our wedding day was present in every shot. As a bride, I never felt rushed, posed or stressed. We cannot thank Gina and Sheena enough for capturing the little moments that mean the most to us. Everyone tells you that your wedding day flies by in such a way that you may not even be able to remember it. Thanks to Gina and Sheena, we can take ourselves back to every minute and relive the most amazing day of our lives again and again.
Gina and Sheena are the BEST!!! They were our photographers for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding! My husband and I will most likely hire them to be the photographers for our baby shower in the future. Their communication throughout the entire wedding planning process was amazing. They were very helpful with planning the timeline for our wedding day and addressed alot of our questions and concerns; they were so responsive and helpful. During the wedding day, Gina and Sheena also coordinated with our other vendors to make sure our day ran smoothly. They were perfect and I recommend any couple to hire Anée Atelier as their photographers!
We spent a ton of time researching photographers, reading reviews, browsing portfolios, and we ultimately chose Gina and Sheena for our engagement photos. We have been so happy with our decision! Scheduling our session was super easy - Gina was so great to communicate with. Gina and Sheena made the photo session fun. And, most importantly, we absolutely love our photos! We cannot thank you guys enough!!
BEST. DECISION. EVER. Seriously- 10 stars. From the moment I spoke with Gina & Sheena on the phone during my initial inquiry- I was sold. They are organized, fun, efficient and TALENTED beyond measure. I got married on Jan 13 and have since received a lot of teasers that I'm completely obsessed with.
Gina & Sheena were easily the most raved about vendor at our wedding. We had multiple family members/guests tell us how fantastic they are throughout the day/night- and I could not agree more. Easily the best/easiest decision of our wedding planning process.
So I want to start my rave fest by saying Gina & Sheena were the most “worth it” investment into my
perfect wedding day. When we first spoke over the phone, I knew right away it was going to be a home run. She listened, had great ideas as well as enthusiasm for my ideas, and was incredibly professional/organized. The process of booking/ payments was seamless and easy. As we got closer to the date, I started getting anxious about the timing and logistics as we had multiple shoot sites. I turned to Gina who within 24 hours came up with an incredibly comprehensive timeline of our day. An immediate sense of relief came over us knowing we were in the hands of someone who clearly knew what they were doing.
Gina breezed in to our hotel suite on my wedding day and her positive energy immediately soothed away any day of jitters/anxiety. The entire bridal party relaxed, we popped the bubbly, and followed Gina’s lead as she talked us through the day. She literally set the tone/mood for the ENTIRE day of shooting- she remained completely laid back while keeping everyone on track. She had the same professionalism, enthusiasm, and just overall awesomeness which I picked up on through our first phone call. She will work hard for you to give you the most amazing photos that will provide lifetime of memories from the day. I just received our final package and was beyond thrilled with the quality of the photographs.They were exactly what we wanted , and not a single moment of the night was missed. I would hire this dream team again in a second and would recommend them to anyone who asks!
In closing, I will leave you with one tip- When Gina asks “how hardcore are you willing to go” the answer should always be to “Go Hard!” Trust me you won’t be disappointed.
I was so happy with my decision to have Gina and Sheena as my wedding photographers, well before my wedding day. I met them first at a wedding expo and was drawn to their booth (really cute, rustic decor), was impressed with their portfolio (stunning shots!) and couldn't help but note that they were a dynamic female duo (girl power!). From our first conversation I felt both confident in their combined experience and completely at ease - these ladies know their stuff and have awesome personalities to boot! They were well planned the day of the wedding and really great to work with. I am not always comfortable in front of a camera but Gina really made me feel gorgeous and at ease and Sheena had the guys feeling like they were in a movie :-) And THEN we got the photos - SWOON! They are ev-ery-thing!!! I mean all the feels! Gina and Sheena truly captured the essence of our day in a way that was both natural and editorial. My husband and I are both soooo happy with our decision to have Gina and Sheena as our wedding photographers and hold no reservations in recommending them!
Gina & Sheena were fabulous. They were totally game w/ our desire to do photos on governor's island a couple hours before the ceremony (quite a time crunch when you take into account the ferry) AND taking photos on the subway en route to the reception. Their flexibility was extraordinary & their enthusiasm was contagious. Not only did we love them, even our bridal party loved them. And their pictures are absolutely wonderful to boot. Plus they got detail photos that never even crossed my mind and were such a fun surprise to see later! Gina & Sheena were *extremely* generous w/ their time & work especially since my father was in the final stage of cancer in the midst of the wedding celebration. They made sure to capture our family in the most beautiful way. Photography was one of the things I was willing to splurge on and they are worth every penny.
Gina and Sheena are brilliant! They photographed our friends' wedding and our friends could not stop singing their praises. They are a fantastic team with a great approach. They made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable during the shoot - something that doesn't come naturally to us at all. The photos are amazing and reflect how comfortable we felt. Highly recommend Gina and Sheena.
Choosing our wedding photographer was a task we took extremely seriously. We spoke to 21 photographers before chatting with Gina and Sheena, and knew instantaneously that they were the right choice for our wedding. They proved it right from the start with our engagement shoot in a Nor’easter that gave way to some breathtaking photos which was all a result of their fantastic eye for photography, creativity and perseverance to shoot in some less than favorable weather conditions. Our wedding photos are absolutely flawless. They managed to capture the essence of us, our giant bridal party, families, guests and the gorgeous venue. They caught moments that will forever help us to relieve our incredible day. Not only are they talented behind the camera, they are extremely funny, kind and professional. They kept us on time throughout the day and kept us laughing. They were able to wrangle our 22-person bridal party quickly and effectively – which could’ve been a full time job in itself. Working with them was one of the best and easiest decisions we made wedding planning and could not be happier about it.
Gina and Sheena are AMAZING!! We had our engagement photos done with them last week in Central Park, and it was so much fun! I was super nervous initially but they made me feel so comfortable and beautiful. I just got my engagement photos back (turnaround was less than a week !) and they are stunning! They came out better than I could have hoped and I've been obsessing over them all day. Gina and Sheena are truly a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you both for the beautiful photos and memories :) I can't wait for my wedding photos!!
Let me start by saying that I am obsessed with my photos. Stalker level obsessed. I find myself staring at them multiple times a day with a goofy smile plastered on my face! Is this euphoria from my new title as Mrs? Nope,(although it is pretty awesome.) It's all because of Gina Esposito and her team. Both my husband and I are NOT comfortable in front of the camera- I usually look completely uncomfortable and awkward and my husband is even worse. We aren't "lovey dovey" or romantic at all. That being said, Gina and Sheena are photographic magicians. They had us laughing and feeling comfortable right away. I didn't have time to feel self conscious because they gave us such clear directions and kept it light and fun. They arrived early and clicked right away with our entire bridal party. Some of our groomsmen are a bit rowdy (not mentioning any names!) but Gina and her team were not afraid to whip them into shape. The guys very much appreciated how quick the girls work and how Gina was able to get what she needed and still left ample time for the bridal party to do just that: party. My family is HUGE and Gina got candids of everyone! She even captured my teenage nephew smiling. He NEVER smiles.
Besides choosing my husband, Gina was the second best decision I have ever made. My photos look like a page out of a bridal magazine and all my coworkers are drooling over my photos and begging for Gina's info! I would describe her style as creative, romantic and timeless. Thank you, Gina, for your dedication to my wedding and all the hard work you and your team put in. Have I mentioned how much I love my photos?!
Gina and Sheena are so good to work with they are very sweet and calm and I should say because I arrived late at the venue the day of my wedding and they were so professional about it. I really loved their personalities and my family did as well. Getting in contact with them was no problem they are very efficient and fast to answer any questions you might have. Now about the photos I have to say that I did expected a little bit more like don’t get me wrong I did like all my photos, but I’ve seen their work before my wedding and that’s why I went with them because of their style and creativity. I feel mines are your regular wedding photos.
Will I recommend them? Yes! They are a pleasure to work with, I just wish we had been more creative and yes I said we because I include myself.
Gina Esposito is the epitome of photography! You can't get any better. To me, photography is the most important vendor at your wedding.. she has such an incredible eye in capturing such beautiful moments. I look at my photos everyday and smile because I know they wouldn't be the same without her!
Besides her amazing photographs, her personality is incredible as well. I felt like I've known them for years, which made is comfortable to take pictures in front of. They are such an incredible pair, I wouldn't hesitate to use them over and over again. I look forward to more moments they can capture and I get to see them again :)
They are incredible!! You can't get any better!!
...And the photos! Photos of the wedding captured the spirit of the day! Our Bride & Groom pictures are classic, lively and a loving statement of our union. Gina was able to handle special requests including photographing typically those hard to capture people and moments which created memories that will last our family a lifetime. Prompt, professional and unobtrusive, their work did not interfere with the days' celebration.
If we could give ten stars we would! Gina and Sheen are a dream to work with! Finding a wedding photographer was the most challenging for us when planning the wedding. We decided to book from speaking to people who have used her in the past and by the stunning pictures that she took in the past. We were looking for a photographer that did very candid, in the moment pictures, while still getting those necessary family and bridal party shots and they are it!
Contacting Gina was incredibly easy and she responded to all emails and calls right away. We booked an engagement shoot with them to get a feel for what the wedding day would be like and it was like meeting up with friends you hadn't seen in a while. They were both so comfortable to work with and we loved every picture they gave us. The best part, those pictures are all yours and they were incredibly quick with getting them back to us.
Our wedding day was so easy with them shooting. Everyone in the bridal parties commented on how friendly they both were and how it easy the whole process was when taking pictures. I have been in weddings where it was a nightmare taking a million different posy shots where you are left missing all of cocktail hour and feel like you missed out of the whole experience. This was not their style. They were able to capture stunning, natural moments while still getting in all of the group and family pictures.
We highly recommend Gina and Scheena!!! If you have the opportunity to book them and don't you'll regret it!
Finding a great wedding photographer was something that was very important to me, however we didn't have a massive budget and I really wanted to find someone who took great natural looking, candid shots as opposed to the formal posed shots I associate wedding photos with. I found Gina and Sheena after doing some research and once I looked at their work on their website and Instagram I knew I had found what I was looking for. After speaking to them for the first time, my hunch was confirmed. They were so easy to talk to, instantly knew what I was looking for and were totally flexible/easy to work with as I was planning my NY wedding from London.
On the day of they made everyone feel comfortable and at ease and throughout the whole event we barely knew they were there. We just got our pictures and could not be more thrilled. They capture the raw emotion and love that filled the day, and I am able to see so many amazing moments between our friends and family and even glances from my husband that I wasn't able to catch with the excitement of the big day. I literally cannot stop looking at the pictures - they are everything we could have wanted and we cannot recommend Gina's work more - she's the best!!
Gina and Sheena truly were such a dynamic duo! From the engagement photos they captured of us in Battery Park, to the details that went into capturing our wedding day, they were truly exceptional. They listened to our specific requests, and also put in a lot of their own ideas and creativity into the photos they took. Our wedding party felt right at home with them, which allowed for so many AMAZING photos to be taken!! Thank you so much Gina and Sheena. You're not only wonderful photographers, but you're both wonderful people that helped to make our day so very special.
I don't even know where to start on how amazing Gina and Sheena were. I felt like I knew them for years and we were immediately comfortable and relaxed. They were there early and so excited and happy to be there photographing our wedding. They did whatever we wanted, but made sure to capture literally every moment from the beginning to the end and got amazing candid shots. My wedding photos make me want to get up and dance, cry because the moments are priceless and stop breathing because I am laughing so hard and these photos also make me want to have a photoshoot just to look at pictures all day... I am completely obsessed. I want to go put my wedding dress on and look at them five more times. Gina and Sheena are pure goddesses. I LOVE MY WEDDING PHOTOS!
Good grief, where do I start.... Gina & Sheena are the most amazing, focused, efficient, and talented team you can imagine. They captured every little detail with such care and are such pro's at making everyone feel comfortable. Truthfully, we had a rainy and logistically difficult day and Gina & Sheena handled everything so effortlessly, making the absolute best of our circumstances with creativity that still gave us great shots. Gina went above and beyond, helping with things she certainly didn't need to, as she captured the "getting ready" moments. She wrangled my crew like a boss and honestly kept us on schedule through all the shots and moments in a way we definitely wouldn't have on our own! Sheena tackled the same task on the guys' side and they had a blast with her. A little before the wedding, Gina & Sheena redirected us toward a certain timeline that included a first look and we were nervous about it but we are so glad they took the risk of blowing up our timeline - all in the best interest of our precious time on the big day. We haven't seen our whole collection yet but from our sneak peek photos we are in love and feel like they just really made us look pretty fly.
Everyone says you get what you pay for but we feel like we got SO so much more. We HIGHLY recommend booking Gina Esposito Photography for your date, if someone else hasn't already snagged them! ;)
