We have used Arken twice so far. Both my wife and I are amature photographers and have both had paid gigs too. Arken is our favorite candid photographer. He took our engagement pho...
tos when I rented Rockefeller Center out for ten minutes after a scathing session. He surprised my wife (being her favorite Instagram photographer) and took wonderful photos. We had to have him back to shoot our wedding. He edited a 3 minute video trailer for us in a matter of a few days after the wedding. It was music video quality. He is astounding, affordable, artistic and all around the whole package. I would love to have him back for every family occasion. Please give his Instagram a try. You would be amazed and sold on how beautiful his work is. Just search for @newyorkfaces it’s the best there is.
Me and my mom met Arken at Times Square, and asked him to take our picture on our iPhone and we liked the way he captured our photo. He made us smile, asked to do different poses. ...
Ended up that he is a professional photographer that focuses on couples and capturing the love. It was only 5 days before my wedding, and we didn't hire any professional photographer for the wedding day, since our family friend promised to take the pictures that day, but i really liked Arken's attitude and approach so i asked him if he is available in 5 days to shoot my wedding in Illinois! Luckily we were able to hire him and booked him a flight for our wedding. Price was very affordable for us and pictures came out amazing, we cherish them and look at the photos everyday on our wall.
highly recommended!
