Duet Photography & Video

& Kristin Carlos

to answer all of my questions. I emailed back and forth with them for a couple weeks confirming all the details and they were always patient with me. We had our engagement shoot in Northport Village with Mike as our photographer. He promptly sent us the proofs, and I knew we had made the right choice. On our wedding day, they arrived early, and helped everything run so smoothly. They had ideas for photos that I never would have thought of. We received our photos within about 10 weeks. From there we selected photos for our prints and album. The turnaround on everything was much quicker than I expected. No to mention, the pricing is so reasonable, the value is completely unbeatable. I have recommended Duet to every couple I know, and I will continue to do so!

ng people. Everyone at our wedding loved them. We would recommend them to anyone with no reservations. They will not disappoint.

have your wedding video but now they won't repay me what is owed. I filed a lawsuit recently which is now pending.

they have ever seen. I couldn't believe how gorgeous the video came out and it was in HD which made it even more crisp. The proofs were gorgeous and there was so many that I could choose from. My parent albums came out amazing and both sets of parents were beyond pleased to get them as gifts. The proofs and video and albums were all finished so quickly I couldn't believe it. Duet always responds to my email requests and I highly recommend them to a bride and groom for their wedding day!!! You cant go wrong with Duet Photography!!!!

t job at getting all the traditional shots and are extremely fast at getting the correct angles (which is great if you are trying to make it to cocktail on time) However I am the type of bride that is perfectly fine with telling them what I wanted and made sure all the extra shots I saw fit were taken. If you are not an outspoken bride this company may not be for you... they get the shots they need and then are done. I do have to say that all the shots that were taken came out beautiful and we were very pleased. They listened to where/ and how I wanted things done as we went along. In the end the Photo book and edits were great and I am very happy with it. The video trailer came out great I can not count how many compliments I received from friends and family on it. Their was great attention to detail and all the highlights from are wedding made it to the video which is what we wanted. Price wise you definitely get what you paid for and more! they are very affordable compared to other companies who do the same quality of work or even less.

ked so spectacular. We will be getting our proofs back in a week or two and I can't wait to see them! I definitely recommend Duet for photography and videography!

m, we saw their photos and albums and hired them. This was the worst mistake we made while planning the wedding. I filled out the wedding time line and photos you want paperwork months in advance of my wedding. Not even 90 days before the wedding they contact me to tell me that I never filled out that exact same paperwork. So I spent hours filling it out a second time. Then 40 days before my wedding they get back to me and tell me that they cannot work with my timeline as is and I will have to pay extra. With so little time before the wedding we had no choice but to pay for extra time that the photographers were doing nothing (I'll explain later). They showed up to the wedding and rushed around, which is evident in the photos. My shoes had a clasp around the ankle and that was open in all the pictures they took of it, so none of those pictures were able to be used. The few pictures of my dress were also unusable. My photographer only took one or two pictures of me getting ready because I told him to do so since he wasn't. There are so many missing moments from the ceremony that we specified we wanted. We were married at the Millridge in Jericho and instead of using the entire beautiful landscape we took tons of pictures "walking" in one spot and half of the pictures we took in front of our car we weren't even near each other/looking at each other/or smiling. There was down time in between the ceremony and reception and we had to pay the photographers during that time, don't ask me where they were or what they did but they were paid. We had 2 hours before the reception to take pictures so that we could go to the cocktail hour, and they knew that. Needless to say we missed all but maybe 15 minutes of cocktail hour and they did not take any pictures during that time. The only good pictures that were taken during those 2 hours were ones that my husband or I suggested at that time. Almost none of the pictures they "posed" were any good. I put quotes because there was no posing done, they said family get together and then just took a picture. They didn't make sure everyone was looking in the same direction, didn't move people around to get a better shot etc. All those pictures look like random people jumped into a picture of a bride and groom. The pictures from the reception were worse. If you were not with me on the dance floor, and by that I mean right next to me, you were not in any pictures. There aren't any pictures of my father, brother, best friend, bridesmaid, the list literally can go on, during those 4 hours! We had 2 photographers, how did they not get pictures of everyone?!?!?! More than half of the pictures from that night are double, we paid for 2 photographers and they stayed together and took the same pictures. It took me months to pick the picture for my album because there was so many unusable ones. When I called to speak to the manager about my disappointment he told me I was wrong. Literally on the phone told me I was wrong there was nothing wrong with the pictures. There is so much more I can say about what went wrong but the box is almost full. The 2 times I opened my wedding album I cried because I am so upset with the work they did.

ate their business. My wedding video was terribly done and was missing the beginning half of the ceremony because the videographer was not at the church. My biggest frustration was not being informed that this happened until I watched my wedding video. My time spent talking to the owner and people in the office was a complete waste of time The owner did in fact state that his worker showed up late to the ceremony, which after stating that, I would hope that he would credit or reimburse us back. But the owner did not seem to care. He did NOTHING to sympathize with me and actually started yelling at me on the phone. I have never worked with a vendor who acted like this. I took this to small claims court because of how dissatisfied I was with them. To make a long story short, I won my court case in January 2015 and Duet has still not paid me back the portion I paid for my wedding video that the court agreed that should pay me back. I am completely disgusted with them and at a loss with what to do. What kind of business owner neglects to pay their collections? I wouldn't want to do business with a company like this. Brides, if you are looking for a photographer, please do not use Duet. Save your time and money and use a reputable company, I wish I did..

otographer. They were responsive to questions/suggestions. They were prompt the day of the wedding. They were not too intrusive during the Wedding Mass and I even heard one guest say during the reception "wow I didn't even notice the photographer/videographer on the dance floor". They blended in well and were overall great to work with. I worked with Danny (photographer) and Sean (videographer). Overall- I recommend Duet if you are looking for great quality for a great price!

appoint. The photographers and staff are extremely friendly and accommodating. We had a church wedding and our reception at the Harbor Club at Prime in Huntington. The pictures came out stunning. The photographers/videographer are the utmost professionals. We filled out a timeline and checklist of photos/shots we wanted and they made sure all of our wishes were carried out. They are not intrusive and at times, we did not even realize they were taking pictures. Pictures/video are such an important part of the wedding and this is an area we wanted the highest of quality. Duet delivered. Duet's cost provides a great value for all of its services. We give Duet our highest recommendation.

for us. Our guests even say to this day that you guys were incredible and were non stop taking pictures throughout our wedding. We recommend you to every couple that we know getting married. Thank you so much and thanks capturing such beautiful memories for us. Kerriann and Anthony Borruso 8/23/14

ut from any other photographer. We could not be happier with our decision to choose Duet!

right photographer. They were breathtaking!! Wedding Day - Everything was perfect and they accommodated everything we asked for and took care of it all!! Family and friends said you barely noticed they were there. But the grand finale of it all besides seeing our amazing wedding photos was our wedding video!! AMAZING!! Duet did such a fantastic job capturing our day and the video was flawless. I will be recommending highly to friends and family. You will not go wrong with picking Duet for your special day!!! - Stephanie & James 10/11/14

sed them for my wedding day. I recommended Duet to a friend after seeing my engagement pictures and she is using them as well for her wedding too! I wish they gave out the highlights sooner then with the final video because they said the video could take up to 5 months before being finalized and I would love to see a preview of my video! Love their work and I can't wait to see the proofs and video.

them to be as nice and professional and down to earth as they were because of how we had to cancel our casual session photo shoot the month before. They spent more time with my fiance and I than I ever expected taking photos. I really thought they would have stopped at 45 minutes but they kept on snapping shots until they felt it captured the best out of us. They showed us one of the pics and to my surprise it looked amazing. I also thought because it looked rainy and there was no sun that the pics would come out dark but seeing that pic in their camera was very graphic without any editing done. They really capture The best out of a couple. Julez will be at my wedding but I hope Sean will also because they are a great team and love what they do it seems.

urrently working on our album designs with them and are very impressed already about how flexible they are with the layouts. My wife is very particular about how our wedding album looks as she's a graphic designer and Young is definitely working with her to create some fantastic images. We will definitely be recommending Duet Photography to our friends and family!

e engagement shoot, our parents get albums and each get a copy of the video. They also make us an ipad album that consists of pictures and videos. Our parents, grandparents and siblings also get an enlarged print but most importantly we get rights to OUR pictures. Be careful, a lot of photographers will give you prints but then they want you to pay extra for rights to your pictures. Duet gives you the rights. You also get to pick your photographer by looking at their work... They are all wonderful but we had Kevin, Jameson and Dave and we LOVED them!! Thank you so much Duet, you're amazing!

work for years. We knew we chose the right photographers after they sent us a form that helped us iron out all of the details that aren't often thought of. There's no other photography due better! Having two photographers and one video allowed us double the artistic talent with JP photographing us ladies and Peter the guys. I constantly hear compliments of their quality of work since our wedding. It's easy for me to recommend Duet Photography because they are honestly the best! I was extremely impressed with their organized and professional coordinating from beginning to end. They also helped us during the wedding to provide recommendations of the finer details when we asked. Thanks to them, the photography was the easiest, and one of the most fun parts of our magical day. Duet Photography told our story and captured our character better than anyone ever could!

deographer. They were so friendly, easy to work with, and the quality of the pictures were absolutely brilliant! The pictures they took I will treasure.We got the pictures in flash drive and we show them off on my facebook. Thank you DUET!!

o use same vendors for photo/video. Sarah & Jesse-married 9/29/12

one in time so we can enjoy ourselves. We even got some nice night shots. Can't wait to get my proofs in a few weeks!

all on the dance floor, and they got a bunch of really artistic candid shots. The sales people in the office are also super helpful, and very accommodating which was important for us, because we were planning from out of state. One of the best parts of this company is that you can build your own photo/video package online, so not only is it customized, but you won't die of sticker shock during your first meeting. Thank you Duet for making our day that much more special!

rrived on time and were happy to take any pictures we asked for. The only flaw is that their photographer meetings are a bit inconvenient. They're only available Tues-Thurs from 9-4. I work in the city and didn't make it out to meet my photographer before hand.

hey have reasonable prices and great packages! Highly recommend!

hotographer and both he, his assistant and the videographer were great. After our posed pictures, the photographers were hardly visible to me. They took plenty of candids and it was nice that they were able to do this without me even noticing! I would highly recommend Duet, I actually chose them because my brother's wedding pictures came out great! I should not be receiving my photos for a few more weeks so I cannot comment on after-wedding service by Duet.

lite throughout the day. Even keeping me calm when we were running a little late. We can not wait to get a hold of our proofs.

were on time, always there when you needed them, and very nice. Just wish I could see some shots of the wedding. Haven't gotten to look at a professional pic yet. (wedding was a month ago).

't leave them alone. The whole night I barely noticed them. They rarely interrupted us for personal pictures. They were very unnoticeable but the pictures they captured were just amazing and artistic. they were so nice and professional I could not have asked for anything more. We paid a bit for their services but pictures were the most important thing for me throughout this process and I felt the $ was well spent. AFter all this is all I will have left as far as memories from that day.

are still waiting for our wedding pictures, as our wedding was only 2 weeks ago. Danny was super friendly and really made you feel comfortable, as was our videographer. I would definitely recommend Duet to any who is looking for a photographer!

ng. Very nice people. Never on your faces.

hotographer for when we were getting ready as well as the video guy was me and my girls as we got ready. The day of the wedding we would not even know they were there. They were not pushy at all and took any shot I asked for. Guests even noticed how quiet they were and were impressed on how you didn't even know they were there. Would highly recommend Duet.

all over the place and he was able to take amazing artistic photos. I would definitely recommend them to any couple tying the knot.

apturing wonderful family shots.

finetly seemed to capture the whole event without being in the way or loud. I would 100% recommend Duet to anyone interested in wedding photogrpahy and videography.

g was less than a month ago but from seeing their previous work, everything is stunning and beautiful. Nick is so talented and friendly. I felt they were non obtrusive at the wedding and they were very efficient and patient, especially with the children and our overbearring relatives. I ordered both video and photography and can't wait to see how they came out. Their prices were incredibly reasonable. I would recommend them to anyone who is planning on getting married.

day.

will not be due until you pick up YOUR album, NOT when you pick up your proofs!

nd some of the bridesmaid group shots were messy. The day of, I didn't want to be the bossy bride of what kind of pictures I wanted, etc so I let the photographers do their thing. I wish I spoke up some more but its okay. Also, we are squinting in a ton of our formal shots. But again, ALOT of pictures came out fantastic- there were 2300 of them!!! I would recommend these guys 100%, just be clear up front with what you want!

ghtful suggestions so you have a variety of pictures to choose from. They are prompt and professional.

problem was after the wedding was over. Not a good feeling to have to say the least.

Danny was 45 minutes early to my mom’s house for the getting ready pictures and instead of just hanging around, he went straight to work taking pictures of my jewelry, dress, programs, etc. I highly recommend Duet- all their photographers are amazing and I have only heard great reviews from them (we had several people at work recommend them to us). Also, their prices are so reasonable! We booked in 2009 so we received 2009 prices for a 2011 wedding- always a plus!

TJ and his team. He was absolutely amazing. He was so nice and accommodating in making sure that we got all the pictures we wanted. He was always there when I would have thought and wanted a picture during the reception. After seeing some teasers I am so incredibly excited to see our proofs in a few weeks.

The staff at Duet quickly honored my request and sent their condolences. All of my proofs and albums were beautiful, too!

dent that he got exactly what I had envisioned. His artistic style captures all the classic shots you want and need and then goes above and beyond into a creative realm that really captures the memories of the day. I would recommend Duet to anyone and especially recommend TJ specifically.

to work. They did my casual photos that were absolutely breathtaking so I have no doubts about the caliber of their work for my wedding photos and video, I just can't want until they're done. Thanks DUET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

gement photos came out awesome which made us even more excited about Jay and his team shooting the wedding. The day of the wedding they arrived on time and were so great with everyone in our family & bridal party. They got all of the shots we requested and actually made the picture taking fun! We cannot wait to see our final album. We are sure it will be amazing!

r perfect day. We used both the Photography and Video services and were beyond delighted with the attention and service provided. We are so excited to see our proofs and cannot wait to relive the day through our video!

o time limit to place your order for enlargements or your album and it is absolutely affordable for any couple---worth every single penny.

t pictures in Central Park. They came out phenomenal! We attended a friend's wedding a week later who also used Jay and he came right up to me and my then fiance to say hi and talk to us. He's very personable and extremely talented. We just got married 3 weeks ago and had a blast with him and his team. I am so excited to get the pictures back. I would recommend Duet to everyone getting married.

e the venue and scout out some shots! Tim worked with me for my getting ready shots. He had a very creative eye and was great at posing me--not an easy feat considering how awkward and shy I usually am in front of the camera. Julius was also very patient with an arguably feisty/jittery groom. The pre-wedding shots were pretty intense, as I knew they would be (I am not one for being the center of attention), and thus I had asked in our meeting a few months ago that once the ceremony was over that the photographers blend into the background and capture the night in a photojournalistic manner. They followed my request perfectly, letting the groom and I enjoy our night without having to constantly stop, stand in a row with people and smile for the camera. I haven't yet seen the pictures, so this review is somewhat incomplete. It takes them a few weeks to send proofs, but I'm super excited and eager to see them!
