Ayenia Nour Photography

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Ayenia!!!! She and her team photographed my December 9th, 2023 wedding at the de Seversky. Her photos have absolutely blown me away and I will never get over it!!!!! The way that she captured our day was EXACTLY what I'd hoped for. She was also so great at handling our very large bridal party consisting of 22 people!!! She is organized, dependable, and an artist! She had our previews to us SO quickly. She was always very responsive, answering questions and providing advice. I am obsessed and continue to die over our photos!!! Look no further for a photographer!

Ayenia is extremely professional! A true artist! She delivers exactly what she promises. She maintained a very friendly and approachable demeanor, and made us feel at ease throughout the session. I am very satisfied with our engagement and wedding photoshoots. She is beautiful inside and out.

Ayenia and her team are the best! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer and person to capture our wedding day. Not only are the photos beautiful, but the entire team was friendly, kind and fun! We will certainly be reaching out to Ayenia to capture other milestone moments in our life!

We cannot express enough how grateful we are to have had Ayenia and her team as our wedding photographers. From the moment we met, their professionalism and passion for their craft were evident. Ayenia truly made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. Every single moment was captured beautifully. Their attention to detail and ability to capture the emotions of the day is remarkable. Looking through our wedding album, we are transported back to that magical day, reliving every moment and feeling. Their creativity and artistic vision truly shine through in each image. We have received countless compliments on our wedding photos and would definitely recommend Ayenia to all our friends and family. We are forever grateful for her talent and dedication. Thank you for giving us memories that we will treasure for a lifetime!

Ayenia and her team MADE my wedding. They were soooooooo kind and caring and really captured the day in a way I didn’t even imagine it could be captured! We are so grateful that we had her as our photographer and love every single picture!! Ayenia and her team genuinely felt like a part of the family! ❤️

Ayenia and her second shooter were both awesome! We got married on Long Island but live in another state, so hadn’t had the opportunity to meet Ayenia in person before our wedding day or have an engagement session, but she made us feel super comfortable throughout our wedding day! She had great suggestions for photo locations, ways to organize multiple very large groups of family photos, and was a wonderful resource for helping us plan the order of our day and the schedule of our reception. We received a sneak preview of our photos after about 3-4 weeks after our wedding and received the entire set of photos about 12 weeks after our wedding, and are so so pleased with how they came out - so many absolutely beautiful photos that captured us, our bridal party, our families, and guests. Would highly recommend!!!

Ayenia was amazing! We did both our engagement shoot and our wedding day with her, and the pictures could not have turned out better. I love the soft lighting and how she uses natural light in all of her photos to capture that soft beauty of the day. We seriously cannot pick our favorite photos, absolutely love them all so much and even with 1000 pictures, I wish we had 1000 more to look at! She is so kind and on point, and her assistants were just the same. They made us feel so comfortable and got out all the awkwardness during the first engagement shoot so we were ready for the big day!

Ayenia is THE ABSOLUTE BEST photographer!!! Her photos of my wedding are STUNNING!!! Seriously, she captures every moment so beautifully and she is an absolute dream to work with. My husband and I have an abundance of gorgeous photos to choose from and I can’t stop looking at them. My husband keeps talking about how incredible she is and how she was one of the best decisions that we made for our big day. I’ve shown our gallery to so many family and friends and they are blown away. I will treasure her photos forever. Do yourself and your wedding a favor and book her!!!

We could not love Ayenia and her team more, truly. Our wedding planner recommended Ayenia - so we scheduled an intro call. From the first-phone call where we connected to discuss wedding photography, we knew Ayenia was the perfect fit to capture our entire wedding day & night. She not only made us feel special and excited, but she was calming, and helped advise on so many aspects of what helps create a beautiful space and event, resulting in beautiful photographs. She was always accessible, easy to talk to, and honestly became a friend. She was calming throughout our wedding, with such a comforting approach, and bridal party loved being around her. Oh, and her photographs are stunning! Ayenia + team will be our photographer throughout all of life's big moments, forever, we could not imagine working with anyone else!

We are extraordinarily grateful to have found Ayenia to be with us on our wedding day! We were so excited to have her based on all of her beautiful photography, but even our expectations were blown away. She leads firmly and gently to make sure you are comfortable, enjoying your day, being present, but also getting all of the important shots that you would want to have. On top of this, her team was also wonderful, extremely professional, and their attention to detail is unparalleled. The quality of the finished work is the exact timeless, clean, and beautiful aesthetic we wanted to have for these incredibly special memories. We are just endlessly grateful to have had such an amazing team for one of the most important things on our wedding day. Thank you again Ayenia and team!

Ayenia did such an amazing job at my wedding. She is organized, professional, and makes you feel so relaxed behind the camera. Even though she is so sweet and soft spoken, she can take control of the room to make sure she gets the best shots. She handled all of the dynamics in my family with grace and made sure to get every shot on my list. My fiancé can get nervous behind the camera and she made him feel at ease. She was a pleasure to have by my side all day. Ayenia has such a creative eye and the final product speaks for itself!

Ayenia has the magic touch. Her work truly speaks for itself. Her and her team are so sweet - they make you feel totally comfortable! My husband and I are *not* naturals in front of a camera, but it doesn't matter when you have Ayenia, because she will make you look your absolute best. We love our wedding photos (and so do our family and friends!). So elegant, timeless and authentic. Her team captured the day perfectly. We knew we could trust Ayenia from the beginning and she did not disappoint! Moreover, she was so supportive during our multiple COVID delays and as a bride, I really appreciate Ayenia for going above and beyond for us.

Finding a photographer for us was such a challenge because we were originally due June 2020 , We just couldn’t find one ! Everyone was booked , or N/A & when I finally found Ayenia I was relief ! It was up until my wedding day that I had realized that all the agony of not finding a Photoghraper was simply God himself . Not only did I get my photographer , But I got one of the best photographer I’ve everrrrrrr worked with !!! First of , the professionalism is on point ! The way she and her crew made me feel so comfortable was so relaxing because I could actually see it through the photos how happy and in the moment we were ! My photos were EVERYTHING plus more that I ever dreamed of , I’m sooo happy & pleased with the work !!

We had Ayenia be our wedding photographer in May and she was incredible! In addition to making us feel comfortable, she was able to capture our big day in a very special way. She was the first vendor to offer us support when we had to postpone our wedding due to Covid and was so accomodating when we had to postpone our engagement shoot multiple times due to scheduling conflicts and the weather. Ayenia's eye for the perfect picture, both posed and candid, and professionalism is unmatched. I would book her ASAP for your big day!

I strongly recommend Ayenia without hesitation! She photographed our intimate wedding in May 2021 and was a pleasure to work with. From our first meeting, Ayenia made us feel comfortable and confident. She and her team helped us with the logistics of our itinerary, provided helpful ideas and suggestions, and demonstrated professionalism throughout the process. On the day of our wedding, Ayenia went above and beyond to capture the special moments of the day. The photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS! Her style is unique and worth every penny!!

We used Ayenia for our wedding photos in April of 2021. Everything was perfect! She was so accommodating and reassuring, as we had to change our wedding date because of covid. Our day couldn’t have been more smooth, she guided us through our timeline, helped me organize church, and was so helpful with other details leading up to day. She really went above and beyond and we couldn’t have been more grateful. Now our photos, WOW, they really came out unbelievable. Her style is so beautifully natural. You will be so lucky to have her capture your special day:). Thank you again Ayenia for the most amazing experience, xoxo.

I had a wonderful experience with Ayenia for my civil ceremony in November. We met at one of our clients' events and I fell in love with her style shortly after seeing the pictures from the day of. Ayenia is a professional, considerate and detailed oriented photographer.  She was able to capture all the beautiful and romantic moments for us. I strongly recommend Ayenia for capturing all of your special celebrations.

When my husband and I were searching for our wedding photographer, we wanted someone that could capture all the beautiful moments as if time stood still and Ayenia Nour Photography did that and more! Especially with getting married in Havana, Ayenia knew all the perfect spots. She has a great eye for detail and with amazing planning standards our wedding day went by smoothly. We were beyond pleased with how all of our pictures came out. Her work’s elegant style and aesthetic was exactly what we wanted. Every picture, a timeless memory to look back for years to come.

Ayenia captured one of the most special moments in my life and I will forever be grateful for her and her work! She made my maternity session feel intimate and carefree which is exactly what I needed. When you're 8 months pregnant it's so easy to feel uncomfortable! She made sure to make me feel safe, cared for, and like a true Goddess and it shows in the images. I couldn't imagine a more beautiful experience and I will cherish these images for the rest of my life.

This is actually my second review but the fact that a mother of the bride STILL follows Ayenia and her amazing photography skills speaks volumes. You won’t find a more professional or talented person to capture your memories.

Ayenia Nour Photography is absolutely everything we wanted and more. My husband and I admired her photographs in her Instagram and blogs for a whole year, when it came time to pick our photographer, we had to book her. We love her style because the use of natural lighting and her timeless approach, her aesthetic is exquisite and elegant. When we met over a FaceTime consultation, her personality and kindness matched her stunning work. We loved the whole process from our engagement photos to the wedding day and everything in between. She is a kind, talented, patient and hard working woman. Photography was our priority in our wedding so hiring her was well worth the investment. Now we have amazing photographs to share with our family for generations to come.

My husband and I had a destination wedding, and planning at a distance meant that for many aspects I had to cross my fingers and pray things would turn out as I hoped. Ayenia was not one of those things- I could tell her standards were at least as high as mine if not higher, and trusted her judgment whenever she made suggestions. Sure enough, the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous, classy, warm, and romantic, and we will treasure them for a lifetime. I continue to be so grateful Ayenia was available for our wedding dates. She was a calm, positive, and professional presence on the wedding day and beyond.

Ayenia was one of the first vendors we hired for our wedding. I saw her portfolio and fell in love with her style. Her style is light, bright, airy and natural. Ayenia has been professional throughout the entire process, including discussion our “day of” timeline for pictures and providing feedback on timing. We were going to skip the engagement shoot and just wait for the wedding, but our wedding got postponed due to COVID (Ayenia was very accommodating in booking our new date and made the postponement stress-free!). We decided to add an engagement shoot with Ayenia while we waited for the big day. Best decision ever! Ayenia was very professional, showed up early to a scout the location I chose because she had never been before, and brought a second photographer. My fiancé doesn’t like taking pictures and posing, so I was nervous for the engagement shoot, but she immediately made him feel comfortable and relaxed. She has a very soft, but confident way of giving direction and great attention to detail while photographing us. Looking back at the pictures, I’m so glad she made some tiny adjustments to our poses because they came out flawless! They look candid, natural, and she truly captured our happiness. She did this all while being socially distanced and masked! Our engagement photos are already framed all over our house and we can’t wait to see her beautiful work at our wedding. Don’t hesitate to book Ayenia, you won’t regret it!

We can’t say enough wonderful things about Ayenia! We found her on Instagram to photograph our Central Park engagement shoot and our Manhattan City Hall ceremony. She made both days a breeze! Not only was she so knowledgeable about where to take pictures in both locations, but she also wasn’t even shaken when we came across one of the longest city hall lines anyone had ever seen. And the final products - wow! Simply stunning. We are so lucky to have had the best day of our lives captured in her film. Thank you, Ayenia!

Ayenia was our wedding photographer and we cold not have gone with a better photographer for our wedding. It was a summer wedding at a waterfront restaurant in Brooklyn, NY, and we wanted our photos to capture the the whimsical, romantic and classy vibe of the venue and the surrounding areas. After looking through her portfolio, I knew that she embodied the exact style and look I was looking for, and I was totally right. The photos were soft yet bright and just excude happiness and romance - exactly what you want in your wedding photos! She was also very professional throughout the process and gave me a ton of really great advice on props and color themes for the photos. Her energy and creativeness was also a huge plus on the day of the wedding and it really showed through our photos. I cannot recommend her enough!

Ayenia was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding. Period! I am Type A….. Perfectionist and detailed oriented, so when it came time to decide on a wedding photographer, I searched for a long time. When I found Ayenia, I knew I had to have her immediately. She was calm, straight forward, patient, VERY detailed oriented and she was able to capture everything and MORE. She is confident and honest, her advice was excellent when choosing vendors and creating my dream vision. She drafted a timeline for our wedding and it was perfection. Everything was so organized from A-Z! Ayenia loves weddings and she creates beauty, the placement of my bridal details, the angles, the lighting, the framing. Just book her ASAP! She is a gem!

Ayenia is hands down the best! Not only is she an extremely skilled photographer but she is a truly incredible person. She was very generous with her time and walked us through everything we would need to do in order to make our big day as seamless and magical as possible. She handled every wedding day situation like a boss...from start to finish! Her interpresonal skills are wonderful...not only did we love working with her but so did our friends and family (this made everyone more comfortable in front of the camera). The final photos were gorgeous! If you are considering using Ayenia for your wedding....look no further. It will be the best decision that you make!

Ayenia has been a dream to work with. From the moment we reached out to her she has been thoughtful, very patient and even helped us find other wedding vendors but most importantly, she really has been there for us throughout the wedding planning process. Her artistic eye and skill are truly seen not only on her images but on her kind personality. We are so happy we chose her to be our wedding photographer, we loved working with her and her team. We highly recommend her for your big wedding day or any family event. Ayenia is your girl!!!

Ayenia was recommended to me by a friend whose wedding photos she had taken. There was something about her pictures that made me feel as if she connected and drew out the best in people. And when I spoke with her, I could easily understand why. She is not only an amazing photographer, but she is genuinely interested in making sure the vision on for day comes to life. She did an amazing job with my photos, made everyone in my party feel comfortable and was extremely professional and thorough. She arrived early, stayed a few minutes extra to make sure we captured the perfect shot and stood in the pouring rain to make sure we had great wedding pictures! She is truly amazing and I would highly recommend her skill and expertise!

Ayenia photographed our engagement shoot at Ft. Tryon Park. She had never photographed at that particular location before, and I was so impressed that she arrived early with her assistant and scouted all the best spots. Needless to say, we could not be more happy with our photos. They are elegant, timeless, and capture our relationship & gorgeous location perfectly. All of the photos were delivered in a personal gallery at two different resolutions, perfect for using across both wedding sites & high quality printing for Save the Dates, etc. We cannot wait for Ayenia to photograph our wedding next year!

My fiance & I just did our engagement photoshoot in NYC & Ayenia (as well as her lovely assistant) was an absolute pleasure to work with. Ayenia was patient, knowledgeable of great scenery, and gave great direction on best poses, etc. We really enjoyed our experience & would highly recommend her to anyone thinking of doing an engagement photoshoot! We cant wait to see the pictures!

Ayenia is a true gem!! I actually found her on Instagram and she was the first vendor we actually booked because I knew I had to have her shoot my wedding. We just did our engagement photos this summer and my jaw literally dropped. Ayenia knows exactly how to capture the best moment and she makes you feel super comfortable throughout the entire process. I’ve had countless people tell me our photos look like they belong in a magazine. She is AMAZING! At the end of the day, Ayenia creates beautiful art with her photography and her images are timeless. I’m so happy we will have these images to share with the grandkids and I can’t wait to see what she does for our wedding!

Ayenia has been an absolute dream to work with. During our engagement photo shoot in the West Village, she made everything super easy, we laughed lots and the photos were magically awesome. It was a cold and windy day, she was so thoughtful that she checked in that morning and offered the option for me to reschedule if I didn’t feel comfortable with the weather. Ayenia continued to surprise us on our city hall ceremony with our parents and wedding party with all our friends. She did such an amazing job on our wedding party that she captured so many wonderful moments. Will definitely work with her again in our future life celebrations ❤️

Ayenia is amazing! She was punctual and she has an amazing personality— she made us feel completely comfortable despite neither of us ever having professional photos taken. The photos are beautiful. I will definitely be reaching out to her again. Highly recommend!

Our baby girl will grow up with these photos of her mum and dad’s wedding in Havana: her dad with the boys, sporting that vest he’d always imagined himself in; her mum, splendid in white, posing regally on a blue velvet-lined chair; the bridesmaids’ eyes brimming with emotion, and laughing moments later; us, at our darn hottest, hand-in-hand strolling down the Malecon; a guest listening, watching, taking it in; the spontaneity of rain, of ballerinas appearing from nowhere, of a balcony, of a smile... There will only ever be one day like this, and we get to relive it — the feel, the love, the laughter — for the rest of our lives, thanks to Ayenia and her magic gift for capturing the moment.

If you are looking for an amazing photographer, Ayenia is it, she is a true artist! Ayenia is timeless, her talent makes memories last forever. My family has been able to share 3 weddings, and 2 engagements with Ayenia, all with the same beautiful outcome, perfect photos. She captures the sweet, real moments so well. She has a natural way of knowing you and making you comfortable for those authentic joyful moments. She is professional, honest, calm, and has an eye for beauty. She is passionate about her work and her clients as seen through her photos. We are still receiving compliments on our engagement and wedding photos. Ayenia is highly recommended, extremely organized and helpful. You will not find a better experience whether local or abroad!

I came across Ayenia’s work on social media and was immediately drawn in by her ability to capture the most romantic and elegant shots. We knew we had to have her as our wedding photographer and it was one of the best decisions we ever made! Leading up to the wedding, my (then) fiancé and I decided that it would be fun to have an engagement shoot so we could get comfortable in front of the camera as well as capture some professional photos of us during that special phase of our lives together. It was so worth the investment and gave us the opportunity to get to know Ayenia, who is one of the most kind, passionate, and professional women we’ve had the privilege to meet. She made us feel so at peace, made us laugh, and gave us fun pointers to keep in mind in order for us to be relaxed and natural in front of the camera. On our big day, Ayenia brought that same energy and was able to work with us and our large wedding party on our tight schedule in order to get all of the photos we wanted. Our photos came out to be absolutely stunning and exceeded our expectations. I am forever grateful to Ayenia for capturing our love so perfectly and hope I get another chance to work with her again in the future!

I was introduced to Ayenia through industry colleagues and I'm so very happy that we crossed paths!! She is unbelievably talented and so very kind. I love her light and airy fine art style. Ayenia recently photographed my best friends special twin baby shower and I am incredibly thrilled with the results. She captured everything we asked for AND some things we didn't even think of!!! The results were simply beautiful. Every detail was photographed in the perfect lighting with the perfect backdrop or props. Our candid shots were so fun, and she got everyone to smile in all of the formal portraits. Unreal! She was organized and thorough and so timely with the final edited photos as well. My best friend was beyond happy with the photos and we were able to make her the most gorgeous thank you cards because of it. I really can't thank you enough, Ayenia!!! You and your work are divine and I can't wait to hire you again some day. Thank you thank you thank you!!

Ayenia you stole our hearts in Havana!!! Your spunk, candor, and expertise made our special day one for the books!!! Everyone says that they are THE most gorgeous wedding photos they’ve ever seen! I feel like you can feel our love through your photos. Thank you for these beautiful memories❤️

Working with Ayenia was such a pleasant and peaceful experience from the very start. From the first to the last email that I sent, she always responded right a way, answered my questions with patience and was always kind. My husband and I scheduled our photoshoot the same day we flew in from New Orleans. We were hangry and tired. Upon meeting Ayenia in person, right away, her vibe and presence was peaceful and kind. She was able to loosen us up and by the end of the photo session, we were very excited and hopeful that she got some good shots. Her professionalism mixed with her warm demeanor was the perfect combination for us. When we finally got home, we received our photos and we had way more shots that we loved than we even thought we would have. We got to talk about her family and her hometown in Cuba. I already know 1,000%, Ayenia has to photograph our family in Cuba. I’ve been keeping in touch with her to see which dates she’s going throughout the year because I have to make sure she will be there to do our photoshoot. Every part of the my experience from communication to the photos and everything in between was impeccable! I can’t wait to work with her again!

Ayenia's work is absolutely top notch! From the beginning, I found her to be very responsive, professional, organized and creative. I could tell that she was committed to capture our wedding just right. Throughout our wedding day, her calming personality was such a blessing and her ability to capture so many beautiful moments while remaining unobtrusive was impressive. Ayenia has such a discerning eye for details, beauty and emotion. She made the whole experience fun, relaxed and memorable. Ayenia's ability to tell a story through her images is truly so special and we couldn't be happier! We received a beautiful online gallery with hundreds of stunning images, such a visual treat, but holding our beautiful wedding album was truly amazing. My husband and I agreed that having her was the best decision we made!

Ayenia deserves 10 stars. I’ve never met someone so passionate about her job. She made our engagement shoot and wedding so special. Im socbappy she was part of my big day. I’m naturally camera shy and she made me feel so confident and beautiful. Not only does she take amazing photos but she is an amazing person too. I will use her for all of our photos needs. Plus I always recommend her to people I know that are newly engaged.

My now husband contacted Ayenia to do a surprise photoshoot for me while we were in Cuba. Little did I know it would turn out to be our engagement session! Ayenia was so down to earth and knew exactly what she was doing. My husband put a lot of trust in her to meet him at the agreed location since we didn’t have any cell service or way of communicating with anyone. Sure enough, she showed up right where they agreed to. I love our photos and she did an amazing job!

She went beyond her scope to help my husband and I create memories for a lifetime. Ayenia gave us helpful tips leading up to our wedding day. She recommended vendors and details to enhance our wedding day photos. She even accompanied me to a dress fitting! We were happy she did, as her recommendations came out handy on our wedding day. Ayenia is professional, communicative, talented and very detailed. Prior to our wedding day, my husband and I decided to do an engagement shoot with Ayenia. She was great to work with from the very beginning. We felt comfortable taking pictures with Ayenia and was very helpful in letting us know how to pose. Which is important as some photographers don’t tell you. All of our loved ones loved our engagement shoot and we loved her style of capturing moments. Leading up to the wedding, we met days before and went through our wedding timeline. Which helped a great deal on our wedding day. You do not know the amount of things that happen during your wedding day that can be missed because of all that is going on. There were no surprises and we felt comfortable. Ayenia was by our side the entire day and ensured we were happy with everything that was captured. Ayenia was a pleasure to work with and we cannot wait to see what she has in store for our wedding pictures. Thanks again, Ayenia!

Ayenia is amazing, her attention to detail and her ability to capture the perfect shot is nothing short then astounding. She is also very personable and always professional and I feel she knows and understands her clients well. My fiancé and I first met Ayenia on a shoot for Greater Good Events and I vividly remember seeing the photos after that shoot and was blown away at what she captured. After that day I knew she was going to be our photographer, and that shoot was actually the reason I chose her to be our wedding photographer. I always admired the light and airiness of her photos. She always seems to achieve the perfect balance of color for a timeless and romantic feel. We recently did our engagement shoot in August and it was nothing short of this. She captured such cute and honest moments between my fiancé and I love that I have those to cherish forever. I honestly can't wait for our wedding and I look forward to her being part of our special day..

I met Ayenia at my friend's wedding. After seeing her at work and seeing the results of her work, I was totally convinced that if one day I would get married, she would be my wedding photographer. Soon there after, I made that phone call to inquire and completed our booking! I had to plan a small, intimate wedding within 3 weeks. Small or large, Ayenia committed herself to work with me to make sure we connected and she was comfortable with what I had in mind for the story, style and content of our capturing our special wedding day. Ayenia has been professional, patient and yet supportive with listening what I had to say, yet making valuable suggestions, in terms of planning a day, choosing a venue and even her thoughts on the style and organization of the event... ...and I was pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful our wedding photographs came out! I love them! I love to keep going back to look at them framed, on my IG page, and in our custom designed wedding album (by the way, no regrets on spending time and effort to put it together from the beginning, and not postponing it till... ever!). I live getting compliments about how stylish, unique and timeless my photos are. LOVE THEM and LOVE Ayenia! After the wedding, she became my and our family photographer as well. I appreciate her taste and style, her being open to explore other styles and not only shooting weddings, but also lifestyle photography. Ayenia continues to challenge herself and deliver the best of her work, whatever it takes!

I've known Ayenia for a long-long time. Long before she chose her path of becoming a photographer and before I've met my husband. It was amazing to see how Ayenia grew as a professional. Even in the beginning, when she just started playing with a photography during our college years - it was obvious, this person was BORN with a talent. Ayenia has a good vision how to turn photography into art! Even though our ways separated after school, when I was getting married, I knew exactly who I want to capture our special day. Not only Ayenia is an amazing photographer, she has a great personality, super organized, and super fun to work with! Need ideas where to photo shoot, what to bring, what to wear, where to buy a dress, how to choose a venue etc., etc.? Ask Ayenia. I swear, she knows it all. And trust me --YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED. Her impeccable taste in everything will leave you blown away. With her it's all about details, details, details. Ayenia's recommendation about engagement photo session in Tulum, MX was a total hit! Pictures came out ahh-mazing. Our pictures were featured in "Destination Weddings & Honeymoons" magazine! (Yes, I had to brag about it.) Ayenia is a bride's dream. Not convinced yet? Do me favor -- check out her work!

Simply put: Ayenia is the best. My husband is also a photographer so quality was really important to us and Ayenia exceeded our expectations! I think the biggest gift we got was just being able to trust in her skill and professionalism and not worry whether she'd do a good job capturing our very special day. Not only do we love our photos, we really enjoyed having Ayenia around the day of the wedding. She's friendly, professional, very hard working and great at communicating leading up to and during the wedding. Thanks Ayenia!

Putting into words how amazing Ayenia is seems like an impossible task--so I am going to try my best. She is kind, she is professional, she is organized, and she is SO incredibly talented. I truly mean this when I say that my wedding day would not have been as amazing without Ayenia. She is an absolute dream to work with and she exceeded all of our expectations in every way. We first met her when we did our engagement shoot with her. We decided to shoot in Brooklyn since it was halfway between her home and where my fiance's family lived. I had never been before so I left it up to her to pick spots for our shoot. We had so much fun shooting with her and she made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The entire afternoon was really enjoyable and really got us excited for her to shoot our wedding. Then, a few weeks later we got back our photos from the engagement shoot and WE. WERE. BLOWN. AWAY. Her work speaks for itself so I am going to talk about ALL of the other reasons why I would hire her again and again. Throughout the wedding planning process, she remained in constant communication with me, sent me vendor recommendations, helped me with my timeline and literally answered ANY question I had--photography related or not. She sent me a thorough list of everything to bring day of wedding so I didn't forget any of the pretty details. She arrived early to scope out our venue (even though she had already been before) and took time to make sure that I got all of the shots I wanted of our wedding day. She went WAY above and beyond anything that was outlined in her contract. She is passionate about her work and her clients and that clearly translates into her photos. Based on the amount of time Ayenia put into our big day--the time prior, the day of, and the time spent editing afterwards--I don't think she charges enough. I was amazed at how many compliments we received about our engagement photos and our wedding photos from not just our family and friends, but from complete strangers. I have had brides that I do not know message me on Instagram asking if she travels to other states so that she could photograph their wedding. It is true what they say--your wedding day comes and goes so quickly--but you have your photos forever. My husband and I will cherish the memories of our wedding for the rest of our lives though thanks to Ayenia. I am so thankful that wedding planning brought Ayenia into our lives. I am not only appreciative of her unparalleled talent, but I am also so grateful for her friendship. She literally became a part of our family that day and I will be forever grateful for that. Our wedding was only two months ago and my mom and I have already begun planning another excuse to fly to NY to get drinks with her.
