Ann Coen Photography

We cannot say enough good things about Ann Coen Photography. They were recommended by our venue (Bonnet Island Estate), and we are thrilled that we chose them. The photographers that we worked with were Alex Rivera and Calla Aniski. Both were absolutely amazing. They made us feel at ease throughout the entire photography process, with clear direction, recommendations, and adaptability based on lighting and their experience. Plus, Alex and Calla are just awesome people overall, and we had so much fun getting to know both of them on our wedding day!! The inquiry and booking process through Ann Coen Photography was intuitive, and their responses were prompt. Any questions we had from the time we booked up to our wedding day were answered easily. We also had a phone call with Alex about a week prior to our wedding just to go over basics and what to expect. We cannot recommend Alex and Calla enough. Please take a look at their galleries on Ann Coen Photography’s website and see for yourself. The moments that they photographed on our wedding day truly captured the joy that we felt, and will cherish for years to come!

We could not have asked for a better team than Alex and Ryan. They were both a joy to work with throughout the entire day and we felt so appreciative and grateful for their kindness and expertise throughout this entire process. From start to finish, Alex and Ryan kept us on track with our timeline, gave us such helpful suggestions, kept us smiling, and kept us calm, cool, and collected! They are also hilarious so it was truly awesome being able to spend the day with them. Also, Alex got our photos back to us in basically 1 WEEK and they are phenomenal. Our family and friends keep telling us how amazing our photos look and are astounded at the quick turnaround. During the planning process, it was a true pleasure working with Alex and discussing our timeline and breakdown of the day. It's so clear that the Ann Coen team has such incredible expertise and it shows so much in the way they execute their service and share their guidance about best practices. We felt so supported during the planning process, which made the wedding day feel like a breeze. We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with Alex and Ryan and for making such a big day even better because of the kindness they shared with us.

We hired Ryan as our photographer for our wedding at Hotel LBI in LBI, NJ. Ryan was very familiar with the venue and had great recommendations for beautiful backdrops and the best spots to take pictures. Ryan was responsive and detailed in the planning ahead of time, and prompt and focused throughout the entire day. Ryan’s expertise and confident attitude helped me to relax and therefore I was able to be present in each moment and truly enjoy the day. Ryan captured incredible photographs. The snapshots hold memories that will last a lifetime. He also got great candid shots of our guests and special moments throughout the day. During cocktail hour, we slipped away across the street from Hotel LBI to the bay to take some sunset photographs. The results were spectacular. Working with Ryan was an absolute dream! The pictures clearly speak for themselves!

OUTSTANDING!! Ann Coen has a real gift, she’s an amazing photographer! Not only that, she’s a beautiful person inside and out. She was incredibly organized, and so laid back. To future brides: Ann took charge in areas I failed to think of, she 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.

My name is Michelle Roberts, my son and daughter-in-law were married on September 24th, 2021 whereby Ann Coen Photography Group photographed the wedding. I rarely review products, places or services but was inspired to do so for a variety of reasons. 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!!

We hired Ann Coen for our engagement and wedding photos and we couldn't have been more pleased! Ann is incredibly communicative and flexible. She provides easy prompts so you don't feel overly posed and makes the experience truly enjoyable. She 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!!

1000/10! A venue recommendation. We used Alex Rivera as our main photographer as Ryan Johnson as his second shooter and we sure had a dream team the day of our wedding! He does a lot of venues down in LBI so I knew I couldn’t go wrong. I was a 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!

We hired Ann Coen for our engagement and wedding photos and were definitely not disappointed!! Our wedding venue gave us a list of preferred photographers (always good to go with one of those, as they know the venue and best shots), and after looking 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!

As soon as we knew we were getting married on LBI in NJ, we knew we had to go with someone from the amazing Ann Coen Photography Group! We ended up selecting Ryan Johnson as our photographer and we had the absolutely best day with him. He got 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!

Where do I even begin, Alex and Josh from Ann Coen were AMAZING! Our day was everything we could’ve wanted and more and they played a huge role in that. Pictures were very important to us and the final result was better than perfection. Their 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.

I cannot say enough good things about Ann and her team!! They were an absolute dream to work with!! From the beginning they were quick to respond and great with communicating with us. She always has a game plan and works so efficiently. We were 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!

We got married on 8/28/21 and had Ann as our photographer. I love pictures so they were super important to me and when we had seen her work, we just knew. We got one of the packages which included our engagement session (which went so well 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.

Where do I even begin... Let's start with Alex, he was absolutely phenomenal! He helped the day run smoothly & with ease & made everything SO MUCH FUN! His calming presence and demeanor was so reassuring. He made everyone feel so comfortable in 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

I can't say enough about Ann and her team - they are simply a dream! They made us so comfortable the entire day and have mastered the art of getting the perfect shots but also let you totally enjoy and not worry about where they are or what shots 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!

Do you hate having your picture taken? Have you always felt ABSOLUTELY SILLY in photos because you're just not used to it... it feels awkward, or you don't know how to smile? HIRE THESE GUYS. My photographer for engagement photos was Alex Rivera, 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.

There is not enough space in this box to tell you how amazing Alex and Ryan are. From the moment we reached out about possibly booking, through booking and preparing for our wedding Alex was nothing but professional, helpful, and knowledgeable. 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.

These are the best photographers you could ever imagine. Not only did they make the say as smooth, and fun as I could have imagined, they also took the most stunning pictures of me & my husband. Alex made the entire day so easy & run smoothly - 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!

We loved working with Calla & Alex for our wedding! They were a reassuring energy in our very uncertain wedding plans throughout covid. We were a postponement from the fall of 2020 to spring 2021 and they were so wonderful throughout the entire 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.

Our photographer did an amazing job capturing our wedding! They were a pleasure to work with, would highly recommend.

We worked with Ryan & Alex from the Ann Coen Photography group and they were the absolute best! They took amazing pictures and were so fun to work with on our wedding day! I highly recommend them!

Holy Cow where do I even begin with Ann and Alex...We were originally supposed to be married on April 4th of 2020 and COVID happened so we had to move our date to October 30th of 2020 bummed but it is what it is. We were so thankful that Ann was 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!!

Ann Coen and her team are truly incredible! They are amazing professionals, but are so fun to work with and made us feel at ease. Of all the decisions we made for our big day-- the best decision we made was booking Ann and her team. When we received 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!

This team is nothing short of amazing!! We postponed our BIG wedding to 2022 but Ann was still able to accommodate us on our original date with having Alex come and do our shoot whom by the way FREAKING ROCKED!!! Can’t wait to rock out with the whole crew in October 2022! Much love xoxoxo

As a child, I was never the most “photogenic” person. Like most young girls, I was self conscious about how I looked, and shied away from the camera, moreover I never felt beautiful. Fast forward to the day of my wedding, never in my life did I 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!

Ann, Ryan, and Tony are the best in the business! We had so much fun working with them for our wedding day, I can’t say enough about how amazing they are. Ann was always very responsive and helpful throughout the planning process; she really cares 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!

We were extremely lucky to have Ann Coen photograph us (bride & groom) twice in the past six months. Our original wedding celebration date was pushed back due to the pandemic. We made the last minute decision to elope to honor our original wedding 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!

Ann Coen and her team – Tony and Ryan – were simply beyond exceptional, and just wonderful, fun, awesome people. Ann was recommended to us when we were looking for a photographer for our wedding. When I looked through her work selections on her 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!!

My (new) husband and I legitimately had SO MUCH FUN taking photos with Alex Rivera after our ceremony. I was expecting it to be something we just needed to get through, but he made it relaxing and enjoyable and we honestly think of it as one of 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!

Alex & Ryan shot our wedding and we can’t compliment them enough. They made us feel so comfortable and the pictures came out SO GOOD. Super cool guys who you’d want to invite to your wedding even if they weren’t your photographers! 10/10 and definitely recommend them to any friends i have getting married.

Ann Coen was the best decision we ever made! Ann and her team are extremely talented, artistic, helpful, and truly were able to capture the best moments of our wedding day so perfectly! Cannot say enough good things... we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Ann Coen photography for your big day!! You will NOT be disappointed!!

I had Alex and Tony photograph my wedding day, and I can’t find words to describe how amazing they both were/are. Alex answered all my questions before as well as during the process and kept me at ease. Not to mention, the talent is out of this world. Alex came to the girls to photograph getting ready and tony went to the house the boys were at. I had a large wedding party 9 groomsman and 9 bridesmaids- but they were both extremely professional, efficient, and honestly just the most fun to work with. My husband despises getting his photo taken, but after our wedding day he mentioned multiple times how much fun he had hanging out with Alex and Tony. When looking for a photographer, it was very important to me to find someone who myself and my husband got along with- because I knew I would be spending most of my day with them. If it wasn’t for Alex, I truly don’t know if I would have been as calm cool and collected on our wedding day. He made all my bridesmaids feel extremely comfortable and was even willing to give us his shoes to walk over pebbles ( or carry us) so we wouldn’t hurt our feet. Tony kept the big group of guys under control while still having an amazing time with them, which is an accomplishment and I would like to know his secret so I can use it for years to come. I would recommend Ann Coen photography to anyone if they are looking not just for amazing photos of precious moments captured in time, but also anyone who wants to work with people who will make your day/life just a little brighter.

Alex Rivera and Ryan Johnson were the BEST. They were great guys to have around and we had lots of fun with them, but also very calm and professional to keep things moving along during all the family and wedding party pictures. Our wedding photos from the whole night are gorgeous, could not be happier with these two.

Absolutely wonderful photos, Ann was a pleasure to work with!

If you're having a shore wedding, Alex Rivera is the guy you want shooting your big day. Alex and his partner Eric Hance are very well acquainted with LBI and they were able to capture everything we love about being on the island. They were so nice, their direction was just right, and they always had great ideas on how to frame the shot and set everyone up with no hassle. And our bridal party loved them! They kept us focused on having the best time possible and the pictures came out incredible. We would highly recommend Ann Coen Photography for making the memories you will cherish forever.

Loved loved loved working with Ann! She did our engagement pictures and wedding photography/video. Pictures were perfection. I loved that Ann went for more natural candid poses rather than super posed. Engagement pictures took about 45 mins- with an outfit changed and had so many pictures to choose from. I liked that Ann was professional, fun, and quick. She was a great person to talk to on my wedding day when I was a bit stressed! On the wedding day, I didn't feel like I was taken away at all from the day. We did all pictures before (did first look) and a quick shoot while guests were moving from cocktail hour to the reception. Working with Ann and her crew was so fun and such a pleasure. I got my pictures a lot faster than I anticipated! So hard to pick favorites because they were all fantastic. My video was also incredible! We received so many texts and calls with compliments. My mom requested more video to have my dad's entire speech and more of the ceremony. She was quick to fulfill the request. I would 100% use Ann again for any occasion.

Thank you Ann & Tony(DarnSwell Video) for the most beautiful wedding pictures of my daughter Maggie's wedding 9/8/18 at the beautiful Bonnet Island Estate in NJ. Ann all the little details and amazing shots were award winning! Tony, the way you put it all together was sheer perfection! The Sun is overrated - Give me drizzle, clouds, reeds any day! Bonnet should use you for marketing their Venue. With great appreciation Lori K. (MOB)

My husband and I got married in March of this past year. From the beginning, we placed emphasis on the importance of having a great photographer, and Ann Coen did not fall short. From the start, she was willing to work with us to create a package that was within our budget. She gave us an option in our package: either an engagement photo session, or thank you notes. We opted to have the thank you notes instead , so I did not meet her prior to the day of my wedding. In spite of this, I had no worries about the day. We were in contact all along the process, and spoke many times over the phone to discuss the plan and specific photos that I wanted captured. She listened to all of my requests, and came very prepared. Her videographer and other photographers were AMAZING as well. We could not have been happier with our final result. Both our wedding video and wedding photos were incredible. She captured moments I had no idea she was capturing, and added personal touches to the final Album. She was patient with me during my indecisiveness following the wedding, when I had to select photos for the album and thank you notes. And when I ultimately asked her to choose which pictures went in the album (as there were too many beautiful ones to choose from), she selected the most perfect ones to highlight the day. I absolutely recommend Ann Coen and her team. You will not be disappointed! Wish we could do it all again!

Ann has such a talented eye as a photographer. She truly is an artist. They captured our big day perfectly. The pictures truly are a work of art that we couldn't wait to share with our family and friends

We hired Ann Coen to be the photographer for our Labor Day Weekend 2018 wedding at The Gables on LBI. We chose her rather than her staff so this review is a review of her work. We thought we splurged when we chose Ann herself, but in fact we underpaid. Her work was nothing short of "Spectacular" to quote my new wife. The 500+ digital photos comprise a magnificent collection of posed and candid photos from our day. Ann is very, very, very good at the work she does, movingly combining technical expertise with emotionally dramatic, thoughtful and smartly composed insight & artistry. We didn’t realize we had engaged a master to photograph our wedding day. We are extremely pleased and extremely grateful.

We cannot say enough great things about Ann and her team. Ann was SO amazing to work with, she helped me through every step leading up to the wedding from, timelines, locations and any other questions I had she had no problem answering!! She is truly so talented. We could not have asked for anything better for our wedding day. We were lucky to have her and her team. We have received so many compliments regarding how friendly, professional and down to earth her team is. It made our day so much less stressful because of how well they worked together! We are so happy we chose Ann as our photographer are pictures are everything we wanted and more!!

Ann and her associates were absolutely amazing with our photographs. They were able to capture so many great moments without being intrusive. We used her company for both photography and videography and they were great. They met us at multiple locations to get shots of the bridesmaids getting ready as well as me getting into my wedding dress. They walked with us down to the beach, at the end of our street, and then met the groomsmen at the venue and continued the pictures from there. Anything I wanted captured, she was willing to shoot and everything was beyond my expectations.

Ann Coen is absolutely incredible and super talented. I knew that I wanted to use her as my photographer, but her prices were a bit out of my budget. Once I inquired, she worked with me and my budget and agreed to shoot my wedding for just a few hours at a price I was comfortable with. I looked to her for advice throughout the entire wedding planning process, on where we should have the ceremony, where we should take pictures and the like. She was always kind, and really made me feel important even though we had such a tight budget, and a tight time frame to take pictures. She met us on our wedding day earlier than we planned and just began shooting. She was professional and friendly, and wasn't afraid to push us a bit off the beaten track, literally, to get incredible pictures. I cant' thank her enough for agreeing to be our photographer.

AMAZING pictures! Ann Coen Photography is a must! They are better than perfect. So easy to work with. Ann and Alex did a great job on the wedding day. So efficient and professional. They were able to take all these amazing shots and even get us to cocktail hour! The picture quality is outstanding. They shots are breathtaking. They wont disappoint!

Alex Rivera for Ann Coen Photography did the amazing, amazing photos for our wedding. Tony Coon did the video. From start to finish, this team was professional, kind, attentive and just an all around pleasure to work with! We had no idea they were even there, except when we had a second to get some sunset shots and we had so much fun with them! They got every special moment of the day! We now get to remember the joy of the most special day with everyone we love with such beautiful images! Thank you so much for such an amazing experience and the photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives!

Alex Rivera was our photographer for both our engagement photo session and our wedding day. His professionalism and quality of work is absolutely outstanding. We have had so many compliments on our engagement photos from friends and family about how natural we both look in the photos and I have to say that's exactly how the photo shoot felt. There were no awkward movements/poses. Alex captured everything we asked for and more!

Ann Coen is simply the best wedding photographer ever. When we first met, she was very outgoing and explained all of the different packages very clearly. She also pointed out which options we could decline if we wanted to save some money. For our engagement shoot, she was very flexible to schedule time with us, and met us on the beach at 7am. She takes photos so effortlessly that it made both of us feel relaxes and comfortable, and that really cam through in the photos. Even better, she had the photos on a CD for us in less that 4 days so we could loo at them while we were still on vacation. On the day of the wedding, Ann and her team (Alex Rivera and Ryan) made everything move so smoothly. We had a First Look, so that we could get the pictures done earlier in the day. Both Ann and Alex did a great job of letting us know the schedule and whether we were running ahead or behind. The 1300 photos from that day are fantastic, and the proofs were turned around very quickly. Ann Coen and her team are fantastic people, photographers, and helped make it the best day of our lives.

We saw Ann's work at the LBI Wedding Road Show, and knew that we wanted to have her shoot our wedding. A few weeks later, we met with Ann. She was fantastic, and we came up with a custom package to take care of everything we wanted. In addition to shooting our entire wedding day, Ann also can make Thank You Cards, Photo Albums (for us and parents), and various other products. Ann was so easy to work with throughout the process. We had a great engagement shoot and Ann had a vision at each location to give us the most magical photos. We were able to incorporate the engagement photos into many different parts of our Wedding. We were on the fence about whether or not to have a videographer at our wedding. Ann told us she worked with a videographer, Tony Coon, and after looking at his website, we knew we had to have him! On the day of our Wedding, we had Ann, Alex and Ryan shoot. They were amazing. We got such great photos and they were never intrusive or overbearing, it was the perfect atmosphere. They were all very easygoing and provided great suggestions for shots throughout the day. We are beyond happy with our photos. Ann is truly one of the best, she has no fear and will do whatever to get the best shot. We cannot thank them enough for perfectly capturing our day.

Absolutely amazing. I got married on July 3rd and received the pictures today... I am blown away! Alex captured EVERYTHING I wanted and more. The pictures are stunning and truly shows our personalities. Alex was quick to respond during planning, spent time with us so he knew what we were like, our families and our friends. The pictures brought it all back... I cried as I went through them because he caught the expression on my mom's face as I walked down the aisle with my dad. Ann Coen and her team are by far the best photographers I have had the pleasure of dealing with. I have used a number of photographers for events but no one compares to them. Thank you for making our day perfect.

Where do I even begin? Ann Coen and the entire team at Ann Coen Photography are simply the greatest photographers of all time. Ann is not only a fantastic photographer but she is an amazing person who made our wedding photography experience a complete dream. From the engagement session (where she went out in the LBI bay with us and crawled around in the marshes to get some of the most magical pictures I have ever seen!) to our big day, she was a complete pleasure to work with. The memories she captures are priceless. You will NEVER be disappointed with any photo session Ann Coen will ever do for you, from family portraits to wedding photography. She is a total gem and a photography god! If you want the best pictures you could ever ask for, book Ann Coen Photography today!

We knew who we wanted as our photographer immediately and were fortunate that Ann was available on our date! Honestly, we may have adjusted our date if she wasn't!! She is fantastic! Not only is her work amazing, but so is she!! Super helpful with vendor suggestions and photography ideas. You can not go wrong with Ann!

Ann was amazing to work with from the engagement session to the wedding day. She is calm and laid back and not overly posey. Our pictures were beautiful and I don't know how we will choose our album shots.

Ann Coen is very down to earth, very artistic and simply an absolute pleasure to work with!

Ann and Alex were such a pleasure to work with! They knew we weren't comfortable taking posed pictures but were able to capture every special moment that we didn't know we wanted documented. I remember after the wedding being like, I wonder if they got this shot? I should have told them to take this... And it turns out when we got our pictures back, they did! They are true professionals and if you hire them you will not be disappointed!

Ann is incredible. She and her assistant not only captured every moment of our wedding, but the photos we took on the boardwalk were so fun and funky!! She took the ideas we threw out and ran with it. Her photos are incredible I don't think I've ever looked so good!!

Ann was amazing. My wedding day was incredibly hectic as my hair stylist didn't show up, but Ann arrived and just started shooting. She needed no direction and captured every shot. Our photos are incredible and we will forever have beautiful memories of our day, thanks to Ann. I would recommend her to anyone and will continue to use her personally if I ever find the need for a photographer in my future.
