Ann Coen Photography

was cognizant of timing, and she produced the most beautiful pictures! While being very aware of timing, she was still able to really take her time and was able to capture every special moment plus some stunning private moments we’ll cherish forever. I’m from LBI, and we hired Ann for our destination wedding at Glacier National Park in Montana on September 3, 2022. We’d do it all over again and again with Ann! It was a complete adventure for all, positive words don’t do justice for how much fun we had working with Ann and how pleased we are with every photo. There is not one bad photo!!!! Having a top of the line photographer was one of the most important parts of our planning process. I’d advise all future brides to check out Ann’s portfolio, and book ASAP! HIGHLY RECOMMEND Ann Coen! We can’t wait to work with her again in the future.

asons. First and foremost, the entire team was so professional, talented and personal and captured every details of our son's special day. They were present from the start of the day until the very end, and were so seamless you didnt even realize they were capturing every detail. The pictures were all so stunning, trust me it was hard to choose favorites. I placed orders for several sized photographs and a wedding album. The quality of the pictures were so profesional, simply flawless. I had several questions regarding the album and the office manager, Carly and Ann herself went above and beyond to ensure I was pleased with the finished product. The album is beyond stunning , Ann is a true designer who created an actual story book of the wedding in a collage format - -I have never seen anything like it and am completely obsessed with it's beauty. I'm trilled my daughter-in-law chose such an impressive photographer for the wedding. Afterall next to the dress, the photographer is the most important part of a wedding as they capture the memmories and preserve them for a lifetime. I'm so pleased and highly recomend Ann Coen Photography! They actually inspired this first time official review!!

e is more than happy to answer all your questions to ensure you are informed and not stressed during your wedding day. The day of the wedding Ann was with me and my bridesmaids and Ryan Johnson was with my husband and his groomsmen. This provided ample coverage so we have details from the entirety of the day. They both were incredible flexible when there were some threats of rain, but they captured the day in such a way that you wouldn't even have known it was supposed to rain. Amidst all the chaos of the day, Ann was a constant beam of steady support. When I was overcome with excitement and emotion just before the first look, she reminded me to breathe, take my time, and enjoy it all! Each time I was on the island and someone asked who my photographer was for my wedding and I told them Ann Coen, each and every one of them said I booked the best of the best, and I couldn't agree more!!

little nervous at first because I did not meet with Alex (besides talking with him over phone) until day of wedding, moreso because he wasn’t going to know us as a couple and how we interacted together. But man, am I so happy I stuck with my gut!! He was FANTASTIC and made everything so easy and comfortable for us. I got to know him a little through Instagram and I could tell I chose the right person to capture our day as I followed him leading up to our wedding day. His photos are authentic and he captures your love perfectly and it’s main reason why I went with him in the first place. After doing my research, his pictures from other weddings looked stunning and natural- not overly edited which is exactly what I was trying to find. He was super professional right from the start and just easy to get along with. Alex made us feel comfortable and never awkward, from solo shots to couple shots to group shots just went naturally. He knew my venue like the back of his hand. Knew all the right spots for photos, had great ideas, took us to a first look spot not far from venue - all I said is I wanted water in background and he had the perfect location, got us on the rooftop for sunset (he already knew what time sun was setting by our final meeting) and made family photos so easy, didn’t even need to give him a list (I did write one out incase but didn’t need to use it) just goes to show he is very experienced and knows what he is doing. My entire family cannot stop raving about how easy he made it and how professional he was. I also want to say A HUGE THANK YOU to him, because I truly believe he is a BIG part of the reason my day was smooth sailing. He is very laidback, funny and keeps calm. Never makes you feel rushed and always reassures you that there will be time for everything so stay relaxed and go with flow. Even if it’s not at exact time from original plan. And it’s exactly what I did and I’m very grateful for that. I now believe a photographer can either make your day or ruin it and he absolutely made my day a dream. I cannot recommend him more and will be definitely using him for future events!

ooking at their portfolios online (along with input from my father-in-law who is an art photographer) we resoundingly chose Ann! We wanted someone who didn't over-expose photos and could take both staged (but not look staged) and candid shots, who knew how to pose and frame a scene well. From the beginning she was a pleasure to work with, and always busy/high in demand, which is a good sign! However, despite her busy schedule, she was able to accommodate our equally busy schedule, especially when coming up to NYC to do engagement photos--which came out perfectly. She took a few hours to ensure we got all the shots we wanted, and really made it a fun and natural outing. She was great at keeping us comfortable so the photos didn't look staged. Since she's such a pro and knew the venue well, we really didn't need to plan much before the big day! I sent her a list of the photos I wanted taken (family, bridesmaids, etc.) and she got all of them- quickly enough that we were actually able to enjoy some of our cocktail hour, but not so quickly that they felt rushed. All of our family said they came out superbly and that everyone looked good in the extended family photo, which is a near-impossible feat! The bridal photos made me feel like a model/princess, and I'm certain I'll never look so good again in my life (a testament to Ann's photography as well as my hair and makeup team). She even helped me figure out how to put on my veil!! Seriously, she's a master at this and with you during that crucial hour before the ceremony, so she's not only a photographer, but a calm lifeline who has been to hundreds, if not thousands, of weddings. She had a team member (whose name I've embarrassingly forgot) join her to take photos of the guys while she was focusing on me, and then to tag-team during group shots with interesting angles and for candids during the reception. The bridal party was running late but we still got all of the photos we wanted. Throughout the event Ann would steal us for sunset shots, night shots, etc., and it was actually a really wonderful chance to reconnect with my husband and just have some alone time. I'm really grateful for those moments, and for the photos that came from them! We were less focused on reception candids, although they got a bunch! They were a mix of natural and artsy, and really focused on the moments when guests were clearly having a great time! Our biggest question is- we have 1000 amazing photos, and did early single shot Ann take end up perfect (I am NOT photogenic) OR did she take 2000 photos and sent us the top 1000? Because we have SO many stunning memories from this event thanks to her, and it was almost impossible to pick just one photo for our thank you card. Magic! Lastly, Ann/her team so thoughtfully sent MORE THAN ONE special memento (for free!) with photos from our two shootings, which was just a very personal, sweet extra touch. She really cares, and in amazing value for the extremely high quality and all that you get!

our photos back to us in a very timely manner and they turned out better than I ever could have dreamed of!! You will not be disappointed with their amazing work ethic or the beautiful photos they provide you with of your special day!

easygoing attitudes helped make it so much fun from start to finish. We can’t stop (and don’t plan on stopping) speaking so highly of them. Thank you for assisting with giving us the best day of our lives.

not used to being photographed but she made us feel so at ease and it felt more like we were hanging out with a friend. Ann, Alex, and Tony were the dream team and made our wedding day run so smoothly. We were beyond thrilled when we got back our wedding pictures. We love every single one and Ann and her team have a true talent in capturing the energy of the day. They were able to capture genuine smiles and happiness and looking through the photos brings us right back to the magic we felt on our wedding day!

and she gave us tons of pictures that came out amazing). It was a good indicator of what working with her would be like-she is so laid back yet gets all the pictures in. Her work truly speaks for itself. We hired Tony who is a part of her team for videography, he was great as well as our other photographer, Ryan Johnson. They made the day easy and fun. It was a windy day but Ann still made sure I got a few shots that I had wanted out on the water. When we got the pictures back, It didn't even look like a windy day. She also made sure we got our twilight barn pictures in. Basically anything I had asked for, we got! Ann also made sure my timeline went smoothly before the ceremony and got all the pictures in. We received our pictures back so quickly! Apart of our package, she designed our thank you cards too, which came out so beautiful! I would recommend her in a heartbeat! Ann captured all of the important moments and didn’t leave anything out. Between the engagement and wedding photos, I truly had such a hard time picking out favorites because every picture came out amazing-even people I showed the albums to said the same. She's a true professional and made our wedding day.

n all of our photos. Now, let's talk about the photos themselves... they are enchanting! Pure magic! Alex is truly a master of this art. He captured every single special moment in the day and got shots I never even knew I wanted. I have never felt more beautiful! These photos are memories that we will cherish our whole life. We cannot be more grateful to Alex and all of his hard work! Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts! -K&S

ts they are taking. I expected the photos to be great, but my husband and I were totally blown away by the end results. I seriously can't wait for the video because the pictures are a dream - memories we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Each and every member of Ann's team is top notch and you absolutely get your value from this team and so much more. Thank you thank you thank you for capturing our dream day in the most magnificent way possible!

a, and for the wedding we were lucky enough to have Alex Rivera & Ryan Johnson. In the first 5 minutes of meeting Alex I felt like I knew the guy for years. A 6 AM engagement shoot on a chilly beach... Completely out of my element and this guy not only takes ABSOLUTELY FIRE photos, he makes it totally painless during the entire process. Fast forward to the wedding. I have never had so many photos of myself looking like 007 himself. Somehow I am smiling, look like a total BOSS, and GQ asked to borrow one of my photos for their magazine cover. (kidding for now) We also had the pleasure of meeting and being photographed by Ryan Johnson. I have all the same things to say and he makes a fantastic team with Alex. These dudes simply just get it. They win at their job. period the end. Anyways, future brides - Show your mans this review. Pick Ann Coen Photography. REQUEST ALEX AND RYAN SPECIFICALLY. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. As a dude I never really thought I would be excited about wedding photos. Totally wrong. and its 100% because these guys absolutely SLAY at what they do. You only get married once (hopefully) Hire the right team to capture the night forever. If I could give these guys 99 stars I would. When we have a baby a few years down the road? Already know who I am gonna call for those photos too. Well done Ann Coen photography group. Well done Alex Rivera Well done Ryan Johnson. Thank you for everything.

. Alex takes the time to get to know you, understand your wants and (equally as important) what you don’t want for your special day. He and Ryan are without a doubt the photographers you want capturing your memories. Alex not only understood our wedding vision, he honored it. We can’t recommend or thank Alex and Ryan more for being such a wonderful part of our day. Do yourselves a favor and book Alex for your wedding and thank us later.

and made everything calm as can be. I was not concerned with things progressing and getting all of the pictures that I needed. Pre-wedding, we were a bit nervous about rain but just a conversation about a rain plan helped to alleviate stress. Alex did all of the photo's that my husband and I wanted for ourselves and then some. Even guests have been raving about the dance floor shots and solo pictures they were able to get. I am struggling to choose my favorites because they're all that good. If you're at the Jersey Shore ... no one captures the sunset better!

postponement wedding re-planning journey. The day of our wedding they were smiling, helpful and so easy to get along with. There was so much stress having a covid wedding and they both calmed our “day of” nerves and made sure we got all the photos we wanted. They knew what needed to be done and directed us with such ease and assurance. We even decided last minute to take photos in front of a bar close to our hearts and texted them 5 minutes before and they totally rolled with it and we are so glad we did it! They not only accommodated us but showed up smiling / laughing and complimenting what a fun shot this location would prove to be. Our photos came out amazing and we know it is because of both calla and Alex. They even pulled us off the dance floor at our reception very briefly, (as you can imagine you might not want to happen but) told us, “believe us you want this shot” and took BEAUTIFUL sunset photos the evening of our wedding! We cannot get over them, we have so many amazing photos to choose from.

as able to remain our photographer for our new date. Ann and Alex are amazing and god bless them for making the trip up from LBI to Jersey City during a winter storm (hey its 2020 so what else did we expect)!! Ann stayed with the girls and was fantastic she made sure we all felt at ease and kept the feeling light...during a stressful day (nor'easter, pandemic and getting married) I can't thank her enough for that and for making sure we all had our crap together and she did this all while capturing some of the most beautiful moments. Alex went with the guys and from the first moment fit right in with the guys, I'm pretty sure he reminded my husband that he needed to get ready b/c he was getting married lol!! Both Ann and Alex just fit into the group and became a part of the wedding party instantly, they were more to the group than just our photographers, they took some of the most stunning pictures ones that I will cherish forever (once my husband moved out of the way and stopped saying he has an app for that). I can't recommend or thank them enough for being a part of our day they will be our go to photographers from here on out. If you are looking for a team that goes above and beyond just taking pictures, if you are looking for a team that will capture those beautiful and special moments on your wedding day you have to book Ann's team...I promise you will not regret it!!

eived back our photos I was in complete awe-- the way she was able to capture the feel and the emotions of the day, embrace the beauty of our surrounding and get the best of the light throughout our beautiful early fall day. I don't think there was a single picture we didn't like (which is making it difficult to pick photos for our album)! The first time I watched the video that came back from Tony I was in tears. He put together a beautiful story of us and our day and we felt like movie stars. You can't go wrong with Ann and Tony. Look forward to using them for special occasions in the future!

whole crew in October 2022! Much love xoxoxo

feel more prepared to be comfortable in my own skin thanks to Ann and her helper Alex. Ann guided myself and the wedding party through effortless candid photos. The other day I received my wedding album, and I immediately got choked up. I looked the most stunning I have ever looked in my life, and I felt like Ann was able to capture the most beautiful and happy woman in the room through her lenses. Even my now husband, looked absolutely incredible and so did every single picture that was captured that day. If you want to feel effortlessly beautiful, you need Ann to give you that speechless wedding album. I plan on using Ann for holiday and special occasion photos moving forward, because that’s how incredible she is at her job!

res about her clients and it shows in her work. Ann, Ryan, and Tony have a great positive energy and worked together seamlessly, coordinating lighting and angles. Ann has a way of making you feel so comfortable, she truly knows how to capture moments in time so that each photo sparks a beautiful memory. Our wedding photos left me speechless, I could look at them all day long. Looking at our photos, you can see the love and happiness that surrounded us that day. We will cherish these photos forever and I am beyond grateful we chose Ann Coen Photography for our wedding day!

ing date, which Ann hopped right on board with photographing. Ann is incredible. I wish I had a better word than incredible because she is beyond incredible. Her energy is so positive. She's enthusiastic about ideas while adding her spin on classics. She took time to dedicate to my grandparents, giving them the chance to have professional photos later in their lives. Now to our big wedding celebration. For context, my grandfather passed away two days before the wedding celebration. So it was a mix of complete joy, partying, and finding moments to honor my grandfather. Ann (and Tony Coon of Tony Coon films) found creative ways to honor his memory between the smiles, tears, and crazy dance moves. For that, I cannot say thank you enough. Every single photo we received was perfection. Ann Coen has given us such a gift by photographing our wedding on two separate days. Every photo is clear, crisp and vibrant. She captured moments that will be cherished forever. Honestly, she captured us in a way that my husband and I kept saying "wow we look good!" She is professional, fun, creative, and a master at her craft. Ann, we love you!

r website and had a chance to speak with her myself, I knew without a doubt we had to work with her for our wedding day. Her work speaks for itself. To me, her style is fun, glamorous, beautiful, joyful. The way she captures lighting and the rays of sunshine outdoors is absolutely stunning. All of the wonderful, blissful, once in a lifetime emotions and moments are so perfectly reflected in each of her photos. When I saw my own wedding photos, I was truly in awe. It had been one thing to get a sense of Ann's style looking at examples of her work, but seeing our own wedding through her lens was incredible. I honestly look at them and have the feeling of an out of body experience and cannot believe that they are actually our pictures. They are so indescribably spectacular and beautiful. Beyond being just extraordinary photographers (and videographers!), Ann and her team are an awesome balance of fun, chill, go-with-the-flow energy, while being incredibly detail oriented and on top of everything. I cannot tell you how appreciative we were for this! We got every photo we wanted and needed, at every location, on time, and just had the greatest time with Ann and the crew. Ann, we felt so incredibly lucky and grateful for the chance to have you capture our wedding day. Our photos and wedding video are so extraordinary, and we will cherish and enjoy them for a lifetime!!

our most treasured parts of our wedding day. Our families also commented on how great he was. We rescheduled and downsized due to the pandemic and Alex was super patient and chill when I didn't know much about what our plan was until a week or so before the wedding. And on top of all that, the photos are INCREDIBLE. Would give him 50 stars if I could! Recommend to anyone!
