Brindamour Photography

Rima is hands down the world’s best wedding photographer. Having been in a fair number of weddings and as a guest at countless others, I’ve had many experiences with wedding photographers, and Rima beats them all by a mile. She is very nice and extremely professional, and always knows how to get the perfect shot while seamlessly blending in with your guests. She also got us through the wedding party/family photos quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. Her videographer Robert was also fantastic - so kind, courteous, and professional! Rima also shot our engagement photos - she woke up insanely early to get sunrise pictures of us at Central Park, which were absolutely gorgeous. She is extremely flexible and patient, great qualities in a photographer! She also got us our previews of both our wedding and engagement pictures really quickly, which was fantastic, as we were so excited to see them. Rima was the first vendor we chose and we are so happy we were able to book her. If you book Rima, you won’t be disappointed!

Rima Brindamour was my dream photographer. She came highly recommended by our venue Brooklyn Winery, and by god were they right. Her impeccable level of organization is not just a testament to her incredible professionalism, but will make your life so easy day of. She consistently made herself available to me in the lead up, creating a very organized, efficient schedule for photography that she more than willingly adapted as plans changed. She also completely understood my vision of what I wanted our wedding photos to be, taking the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and how we were planning our wedding. On the day of, she was an absolute pleasure. Rima, along with her assistant Robert, were fun, cool, calm, and collected, but also extremely organized. Their presence was like a breath of fresh air on a stressful day. She gave such great photo direction, but made the whole experience incredibly fun. She took suggestions, and offered a few of her own for some really unique photos that came out incredible. She was also really great about reminding people to take a second between photos to refresh and jump back in, which helped tremendously when we were feeling tired. Every single photo I requested, she NAILED. During the ceremony, she got some incredible shots, and we didn't even notice she was there. The amount of breathtaking candids she also captured were amazing, and they made up for some of our favorite photos. Overall, the the final product took our breath away. She also gave us all our photos back before a month, which we really appreciated. If you're thinking of booking Rima, don't hesitate! She's equal parts professional and fun, and you'll have pictures you'll cherish for a lifetime.

First, let me start off by saying something you've already been told a million times, your wedding day flies by. It is hard to think about while it feels far off in the distance, but when the day comes and goes - you'll want something to hold onto, something to let you relive the memories. For me, I've looked through my photos hundreds of times since my wedding day and am in love with how everything turned out. Rima also made a beautiful wedding video for us and every time I watch it, I smile, laugh, cry and think about all the memories of that day. Rima is an artist and saying she is talented is an understatement. She knows how to work with both natural light and dark-lit venues (think Brooklyn Winery in the evening). She is both professional and personable. She will work with you to create a wedding-day timeline and together make a list of all the photos that are important to you. She also did our engagement shoot which was a perfect opportunity to meet so we weren't strangers on the wedding day. She was also very helpful (and supportive) when our wedding was postponed (within 8 days) due to covid. Without a doubt, she is the photographer and videographer that you want with you on your wedding day. We couldn't be happier, let this be an easy decision in your wedding planning journey. We are so grateful that she was a part of our wedding day! Also her blog is full of great wedding inspiration!

I cannot recommend Rima enough. She answered ALL of our questions (& my husband has allll the questions) with patience and kindness and was always willing to find creative solutions for our asks. She is thoughtful in her appreciate, professional, brings communication and a calming presence to her work - which as you can imagine is so crucial when capturing authentic and relaxing moments when sometimes things are hectic!! We also admittedly didn’t get a chance to meet her prior to our wedding day and it didn’t matter :) she made us comfortable and felt like an old friend. She is a visionary and we are so thankful for the moments she captured, they are priceless. We love her work and look forward to her capturing more of our life milestones!!

Choosing Rima as our wedding photographer was one of the easiest and best decisions we made. She is exceptionally professional and proficient, while still being kind and calming. She knows exactly how to get shots that work, without making you feel like you're posing uncomfortably or being micromanaged. For both our engagement session and our wedding day, it felt like Rima was able to capture a perfect mix of "candids" where she just lets you play around and do what is natural, and posed photos. Also, on our wedding day both her and Fernando were such calming presences that we felt at ease, were able to laugh, and we knew we wouldn't be overwhelmed having the focus on us all day. She was also ridiculously prompt when communicating and delivered our photos so quickly!! We cannot recommend her enough!

My wife and I had a wonderful experience working with Rima for our engagement shoot and wedding. Very responsive, beautiful photographs, and excellent prints.

Rima did such a wonderful job capturing our wedding celebration at Brooklyn Winery. She was responsive, professional, and struck the perfect balance between fun candid photos and some more traditional portraits. The photos turned out great and Rima was a pleasure to work with. We especially loved the photo booth - highly recommend!

Rima was truly an amazing photographer! We started working with her for our engagement shoot -- she knew the best sites in Brooklyn for a range of different photos and helped us with posing and feeling comfortable. On our wedding day, she captured so many sweet moments and her photos and portraits have the perfect memories of our wedding. We also had the Brindamour Booth at our reception, which was a fun addition for our guests -- plus they made a guest book with the photos! Rima was incredibly reliable and detail-oriented -- she helps prepare a schedule and shot list before the big day so everything runs smoothly, and shared our photos with us promptly! Her videographer was also very professional and kind. We love Brindamour Photography!

We used Rima Brindamour's photobooth. She was so easy to work with, had great pricing and her staff was incredibly professional. Her toys were fun and the backdrops were great. We had a garland with our hashtag that we put across on the backdrop which was a great inexpensive way to change up the garland.

This is for her photobooth service: the Brindamour Booth. Booking with Rima was super easy. She was consistently fast with responses, thorough in her detail, super friendly and very professional. She gave a questionnaire to understand what aesthetics we wanted, and provided tons of booth backdrops, photo layouts and text options as examples. I had originally selected one back drop, and based on my questionnaire she suggested a new one she thought I'd like even better--and I did! The service itself during the actual wedding was AMAZING! The photo quality is great and actually flattering. We utilized her (great) props, and did selected the guest-book add on. The booth attendant was professional and patient with all of our wedding guests. Everyone had a blast taking photos. The guest book is absolutely beautiful. A guest even asked me where I got it from after the wedding because they wanted it for theirs! Rima also supplied the pens and tape! Everything was hassle-free and already thought of-- I did not have to lift a finger! The attendant also made sure my husband and I got a solo photo before the night got too crazy. There are so many gimmicky photobooth companies out there...Go with Rima!! Pricing is fair, all-in, and service is perfect.

This is a long overdue review: We're coming up on our 2 year wedding anniversary, and yet reviewing Rima properly has never left my mind because she was so immensely wonderful to work with & I am so happy we had her with us that day. We had a teeny, family-only wedding in my Father's backyard. We worried about having a photographer fit in, given the level of intimacy of the group - but Rima's personality was a perfect fit. From our very first conversations together, I felt like she understood our vision and how the day would play out. Her communications were very clear & I felt like we were on the same page throughout the entire planning phase. Day-of, she helped keep my family in line (tough to do), and hit all the photos we wanted taken but the biggest gift she gave us was her general demeanor and sense of calm - that is exactly what we needed and she handled every hiccup with ease. She even came back after our contracted time had ended to take more photos of our impromptu hora. Very professional, very talented, very chill & kind.

After a lot of research, we really struggled to find a photographer who made us feel comfortable. That is until we found Rima! After meeting us for a drink and showing us some of her previous work, we knew she was the perfect match for us. Rima is an incredible photographer who did a fantastic job capturing our wedding! Her staff is equally as amazing. She took so many photos of the small moments and they are beautiful. She portrayed my husband and my personalities in a meaningful and true way. She knows the venue where we got married, the Brooklyn Winery, like the back of her hand. She is also just a really cool and nice person who added so much to our wedding day. I would highly recommend Rima for any bride!

Rima is extemely talented and such a pleasure to work with. She was responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process. On the day of, she did an amazing job getting everyone in order for portraits. She also had my husband and I walk around the venue a little to capture some really special moments. Once the wedding was underway, she was extemely unobtrusive as she captured the entire night. She put up a blog post really quickly and the pictures are beyond our expectations. We can't wait to see the rest!

Rima Brindamour was an absolute pleasure to work with and our wedding photos came out beautifully! From the engagement photos to the wedding day to the wedding book, every step of the process was easy, fun, and the results were beyond what we were expecting. Rima made what could've been an awkward experience (posed engagement photos) into a casual afternoon stroll through our favorite parts of Brooklyn. The photos came out gorgeous, while also capturing our personalities very well. We got married at Brooklyn Winery and Rima is a true expert at how to shoot this venue. She knows all the ins and outs and even designs her own gels to best light the space. She did a fantastic job of putting me and my wife at ease on our wedding day and wrangling all of our friends and family to make sure she got what she needed. That being said, she was also very hands off once the party got going and wasn't overly intrusive at all. My wife and I almost cried when we saw the photos she posted online for us (in a very timely fashion, too.) From the first look photos to the family portraits to the plethora of incredible candids, it was like living the whole day again. I can count about a dozen of my friends who changed their Facebook profile pictures to one of Rima's photos from our wedding because she's really that good. Also, she made a very cute GIF of our first look photos, which my wife and I adored. We just received our first layout for our wedding book and we can't wait to get the real thing in the mail. Rima's photo editing skills are impeccable, as is her eye for design. Beyond her mad photo skillz, she's a very sweet person who genuinely seems happy to be there to capture a very special day in your life. TL;DR - 11/10, book Rima!

Rima is a true artist. She has a vision and an eye for what a great picture should look like and is able to execute. All of our pictures, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day were perfection. She captured our day in a way we will never forget. She is also easy to work with and helped to make sure our day ran smoothly. Her assistant, Amy, is fantastic as well. She is funny and charismatic. We will work with Rima, and recommend her services to everyone without hesitation.

Rima photographed our wedding weekend. With events over two days in two separate venues, she made herself available and exceeded our expectations! Rima captured both events perfectly - from an intimate dinner celebration to an energetic dance party, the photos were fantastic. Given the smaller to medium size of our parties, it was hard to blend in, but we didn't even notice Rima weaving in and out of the dance floor or capturing the smaller ceremony. The best part is that the pictures perfectly capture our emotions as well as the amazing energy filling our wedding. Family and friends agreed that the photos were incredible, and we can't wait to get our album shortly!

Rima was our favorite photographer that we met, by far. After meeting her for a drink to discuss her style, our expectations, etc, we knew right away that she was the perfect choice for us. It didn't hurt that she had photographed numerous weddings in our venue, so had figured out the best lighting/filters for shooting in that space. She has made it super easy to review her proposals and make payments using an online portal, and was always super responsive when we needed to get in touch. Our engagement shoot was a great opportunity to get to know her and set our expectations for the day. She was a pleasure to have around on the wedding day, very professional and organized. We also loved our Brindamour Booth! I highly recommend using this additional service that she provides. We were so excited to see our blog post while we were on our honeymoon, and she got our online album to us much faster than we expected! We can't wait to see the album that she so beautifully designed for us, and we would recommend her to anyone getting married in the Tri-State area!

We are so thankful and lucky Rima shot our wedding! We originally met Rima over a glass of wine and after a short conversation and a look at her work, we decided to choose her as our photographer and it was the one of the best choices we made throughout the wedding planning process. Rima shot our engagement photos and made us feel really comfortable as we've both never had professional photos taken before. The photos came out amazing and we were so excited for her to shoot the wedding! Come our big day this past month, we were truly blown away at how true-to-the-day the photos were of our wedding. All of the excitement and happiness amongst us was captured, along with true emotion throughout the ceremony and reception. Not being able to be all places at once, it was such a joy to see the candid, genuine moments of our friends and family together in such a beautiful way. The photos are a perfect mix of the traditional portraits and the caught-in-the-moment candids. We highly recommend Rima to all those planning their wedding!

I did a lot of research when looking for our wedding photographer. The only things that last past the wedding day are the photos and the marriage! That being said, the photographer was the one thing I was willing to splurge on, but we are not wealthy people. Rima has many package options that can work for all budgets, which is great, and even though we purchased her highest package it included so much and was still affordable. It was important to me to have the photographer there for the entire day, and this package included all-day coverage with no overtime charges. During our consultation I really felt that I got along well with Rima and liked her personality, which was also important to me considering she was going to be very much a part of one of the most important days of my life. Our package included an engagement session. I didn’t think we needed engagement photos, but I am so glad we ended up doing it because we got to know Rima better and she got to know us better, which always makes for better pictures. We added the photo booth to our package and I was SO glad that we did- it was such a highlight for our guests, and gave us so many more photos and memories. Rima’s second shooter and photo booth assistant were both so wonderful, accommodating and friendly and were complimented by our families and the guests. And as for the photos? They are just gorgeous. I am so thrilled with how they turned out and it makes me smile every time I look at them. I think Rima perfectly captured the complete joy of the day, and even with my very UN-photogenic husband she was able to get awesome shots. Overall it was just such a wonderful experience from start to finish and I have beautiful prints and all of the digital images to keep forever. Thank you, Rima!

Rima was wonderful and everything I could hope for in a photographer!

Rima is super professional and takes amazing photos. It's probably one of the only parts of my wedding that I can say "was worth every penny." She has a variety of packages and is awesome at customizing based on what you're looking for. Highly recommend her!

Rima was an absolutely wonderful photographer and very professional to work with. She has a unique eye and way to capture your memories and moments without you really noticing her there and taking in all those romantic moments and special details. I am so pleased with her work and highly recommend her, you'll have photos to remember and relive your special day that you'll love!

What could be more important than having amazing photos of your special day to cherish forever? My husband and I felt that it was crucial to hire a really talented photographer so that we could get the best possible photos of our day, and we got our wish with Rima! Rima is the owner of Brindamour Photography, and she is an exceptionally talented, experienced, and professional photographer. I've never been to a wedding where so many guests commented on how respectful, talented, and fun the photographer was DURING the wedding! But our guests kept coming up to me to comment on how much they loved Rima. And our photographs are just stunning. Can't recommend Rima enough! Wonderful to work with, wonderful results. And she even traveled from Brooklyn to the Philly area to work with us!
