Do not use them or Marina. I have been waiting 7 months for my wedding album, video, proofs. She lacks communication, let’s her personal life interfere with business.
We just wanted to give a huge thank you to Vlad, his assistant and videographer for the beautiful wedding photos and highlight video. You have created some amazing shots that take ...
us back to the day each time we look at them. You really did capture all the emotions, laughter and love perfectly. We will certainly cherish these photos forever! You will have no regrets if you go with Vlad and his team for your big day! Thanks again for everything!

We used Garden State Photo for a Photo Booth for our wedding. The booth was set up on time with a ton of props that were a huge hit with our guests. They even allowed us to customi...
ze a background for the open air booth, which made the day even more special.
Very poor service. Our Photographer was Vlad. He did really bad job all around. We hired him for 6 hours photography and videography services. In our reception he failed to capture...
our special moments. Our pictures came out like it was taken from cell phone. His pictures had no sign of creativity. We tried to email him about our concern after the wedding and he had been super late to reply. It seems like he doesn’t care at all. Plus on top of that he misspelled my wife name on the video. I am really upset and nothing I can do right now because we can’t bring back our reception and recreate our memories.
Vlad did a wonderful job on our wedding video this spring. We made a relatively last-minute decision to hire a videographer and Garden State was responsive and professional. I'm r...
eally glad we went with them.
Everyone loved the photobooth. Photos were high quality - service was great and quick on the processing. Had no issues with the vendor arriving, etc. Thanks!
We used Garden Sate Photo for their Photo Booth at our reception and our guests are still talking about it! We all had a blast with this vendor! Throughout the evening all of our g...
uests were able to take pictures. There were plenty of props that came with our package. In addition, we were presented with a scrapbook of every picture taken in the booth throughout the evening. We would certainly recommend Garden State Photo to our friends and family.
I recently used Garden State Photo Studio for my photography and photobooth and I am soo happy I did! Marina was a pleasure to deal with! She was always helpful and very responsive...
. They had the most reasonable package compared to every other photographer I recieved quotes from and their portfolio is amazing. Tim & Steve were the photographers the day of my wedding and they were so personable, I felt like I knew them for years. They were so professional and talented and the pictures came out amazing! I love every single picture, it's going to be so hard to choose! I would definitely recommend Garden State Photo Studio for any occasion!
The pictures came out beautifully, we couldn't be happier. We're still waiting on our photo book and video, but I'm sure they'll be wonderful.
We bought a groupon for their photobooth and our guests had so much fun!! They were early with the setup and our scrapbook is full of such great pics!! Our complaints are with the ...
attendant who was rude and my guests did mention it, also she didn't check in with us and we didn't know how to get our link to our site (one of my guests just emailed it to me sadly to say) and I sent my husband to grab our scrapbook before we left. Maybe it was the attendant we had since we read such great reviews on their service but our guests loved it!! I would definitely keep an eye out for a groupon but be aware that extras you have to pay for.
I used Garden State Photo for my photo booth rental for my wedding on February 23, 2013. I found them through the bridal show I went to at the Meadowlands Secaucus Crown Plaza. Al...
l I had was problems with them. They were scheduled to run the photo booth from 7:30pm-10:30pm. (My reception was from 7:30-11:30pm) As soon as I seen the attendant he notified me that the lens on his camera was broken and he need to get another one. I asked why he didn't carry a backup and he advised me that they usually do but it wasn't with him. This was at approximately 7:00pm. He did not return with the new lens until about 9:15pm when everyone was eating their main course! So the photo booth was not up and running and able to be used by my guests until about 10:00pm. I spoke with the attendant to make sure he would be staying for the remainder of my reception and he said yes. So Garden State Photo only provided me with a headache and about 1 hour and a half of service and refused to give me a refund of half, after many many phone calls and demanding to speak with a manager I finally got a pro-rated 45min refund. I was not trying to be unreasonable, I was only provided with half the service therefore I should only pay for the service provided. Also, due to the very limited amount of time the photo booth was in service, my new husband and I were unable to get ONE picture of the two of us which was very disappointing. The attendant tried to grab us to do a picture at the end of the night when all of our guests were trying to say goodbye. Then he just packed up and left. Oh and he took my book with all my pictures also instead of giving it to my bridal attendant or me. I recommend getting a photo booth for your wedding because it seems like a lot of fun if you get to use it, but I would NOT recommend going with Garden State Photo at all. Unless you want bad service and even worst customer service.
Garden State Photo Studio provided the photobooth at our wedding, and they were so great to work with. Our guests had a blast posing with props and we loved getting all the images...
after the wedding. I would recommend to anyone needing a fun activity or wedding favor.
I got a deal on weddingchanel.com and was able to rent a photo booth for half the price of what other companies in my area were charging. I think having a photo booth was one of th...
e best aspects of my wedding, everyone loved it! We even paid the attendant to stay for an extra hour, and he was glad to do it!
I got this on a groupon...so worth it. Everyone loved it and at the end I got a USB of all the pics. They also provided props.
Everyone at our wedding loved the photo booth from Garden State Photo Studio. We booked them through Groupon and were pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend.
Our mojo photobooth from Garden State Photo Booth was awesome! It was such a huge hit at our wedding, there was a huge line all night! I had used a groupon and then was able to ad...
d all the extras like the guest book an extra hour and stay within budget.
The pictures came out so great and everyone loved that they were posted online so quickly.
My wedding was the week of Hurricane Sandy and originally they had called me and told me they have to cancel because no one had power, I was kind of upset because I was really looking forward to it! So i begged, and in the end they were able to make it there and everything worked out!
Only thing I didnt like was all the cheesy props they have, they just arent my style. But that was quickly fixed when i told our guy to please just put them away- problem solved!
My videographers were Vlad & Landers. GREAT GUYS!!!!!!!!!!! Truly, I was nervous about meeting my video crew and when Vlad and Landers arrived at my house, immediatley I could te...
ll how nice they were. They were very respectful of my family and were amazing! The best service that I could have asked for. They far exceeded my expectations and made my day run smoothly and overall Great. They captured every moment from the very beginning until our last goodbye at the reception. Their quality of professionalism is top notch. I actually found them last minute, like a week before my wedding, cause i wanted video for my wedding but was worried it wouldnt fit into my budget and things worked out for the best. Kristine was super helpful and friendly in booking the video for my big day and the guys, amazing. If you're looking for great quality and a vendor you can aboslutely rely and be worry-free, then check these guys out. On a scale from 1 to 10, they get a 20!!
I booked our photobooth when I saw a groupon from garden state. The service at the actual wedding was great. I was afraid that they would interfere with the rest of the receptio...
n since I had the booth for less time than the actual reception. However, the crew packed up and left quietly and efficiently so that it wasnt even noticeable. We didnt get the booth we had wanted since they require an additional fee to reserve a specific booth, but the one we were given was fine. They also didn't password protect our album as we had requested and dicussed, which was dissapointing. Overall, the booth was great and the guests loved it.
got them thru a groupon. i booked them when i saw that ppl rated them highly.
why i disliked them: were a little slow with emails responses. had to have them revise my proof seve...
ral times.
why in the end i liked them: very sweet attendant, she made 4x6's for me of me and my hubby and my family. people really enjoyed the photo booth and props. in the end, i'm glad i got them.
I really thought GSPS did a great job. Everyone had a great time. The attendant was friendly. We found them through Groupon, and it was a great deal. We added a scrap book, and the...
attendant did a great job organizing it and made sure people signed it. I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and the couple had a different photo booth group, and I can say that they ran out of scrap booking supplies and way unorganized compared to GSPS. Also, we received a flash drive with all the images the night of the wedding AND the photos were on the website by the next day, so our guest were real happy that they could repost the images.
I rented the photobooth for my wedding about a month ago and i keep getting phone calls from my guest telling me how much fun they had.
Garden State did a great job and they were ...
easy to deal with.
We hired them through a Groupon actually (half off), but they were great! Very professional and friendly. Followed up with us beforehand to design the photo booth strip (purple) an...
d had great props. The only issue is that we found out that not all our guests knew they were there; their location was a bit hidden. But whoever took pictures, said they had a lot of fun with it!! I highly recommend them!!
I used Garden State Photo Studio's photobooth. They had a great photobooth with lots of room, a pretty back drop, and a classy heading on our photo print outs (which they let us ch...
oose ourselves). The photo attendant was there early to set up, didn't intrude with the rest of the reception, and was very kind. The only weird thing was that half of the props he brought were all Christmas themed (my wedding was in August). The photo book was given to us at the end of the night already completed which was nice to have and not worry about receiving later. Their price was very fair and cheaper than other places we had found. I'd definitely recommend using them.
Kristen was fabulous!!! She was busy her whole time at our wedding and ended up taking over 100 photobooth pictures that night!! She was friendly and attentive. And our guests wen...
t crazy over the photobooth having fun all night with it!! She was even so nice after she already disassembled the camera to go home put everything back together so my parents could have their own picture!! Incredible staff, the prints were fabulous and the fact you get them all on USB stick makes it even better!!! I love having all the photos to look back on :)
I booked Garden State Photo Studio for my wedding after interviewing and evaluating many other photo studios. The level of professionalism, quality, and the pricing of Garden Stat...
e Photo Studio packages were far better than the other studios I met with.
On the day of our wedding, we had a great experience. When we got the initial proofs of our wedding, shortly after our special day, we were absolutely stunned at the beautiful pictures.
When it came time to select photos for the wedding album, it was challenging because every photo was gorgeous and we wanted to include them all. We did add additional pages to our initial album package because we just couldn't get down to the original planned pages.
Garden State Photo Studio knows how to capture every precious moment of special events! I will use them again for in-studio sittings and other special events in the future.
MY guest all loved the photo booth! My only problem is that I paid for 3 hours, but the booth was down for about 20 mins because there was a malfunction. I felt that they should ha...
ve stayed an additional 20 mins longer because it was not in use while the attendant was trouble shooting the booth.
The photobooth was a fun addition to our reception. Our guests loved it!
Great company to work with, everyone we dealt with was very pleasant and helpful.
All of our guests had so much fun with the photobooth, and the props were hilarious!
We decided to rent a photobooth instead of doing the favors for our guests. All the guests loved the idea and the people from garden state photo studio were nice and very helpful!
Attention to detail was great! They take amazing photos!
After searching for sometime, we came across Garden State photo online and I fell in love with their albums. Unlike many other sites they had multiple albums to view. The staff h...
as been a pleasure to work with. They were warm and friendly and focused on what I wanted for my photos. The complete package they designed for me was one of the best I had seen especially for the amazing price. The photos of my wedding are beautiful. Not only did they capture all of the important moments of our wedding with such elegance but they also captured many of the smaller moments that we shared with our family and friends. One of the greatest parts about this studio is they have video and DJ services as well. We used both and were extremely pleased with our choice. We are looking forward to getting our wedding video soon. If you are looking for a great group of people who are easy to work with, a great price, and gets back to you quickly when you call or write, then definitely give them a try
I did not interact very much with the attendant at the booth but I heard from some of my guests that he was rather rude towards the end of the evening, cutting them short so he cou...
ld pack up. One guests even offered $50 for one more round of photos and the guy said no....for something that takes 2 minutes to shoot, I don't see why he wouldn't have accepted. I also had my own photobooth props with me, and had me DOC help with the photobook.
I used this company for my wedding. I had seen their deal on Groupon (3hr rental for $595) and snatched it up right away! My guests loved the booth and keep calling me to tell me h...
ow much fun it was. I received the second copy from everyones pics and they were awesome(and hysterical). I could tell my guests were having a blast with it. The attendant was quiet but professional. The picture quality was great. He was there and set up on time. There were great props for everyone to put on; which made the pics even better! If you have money to spare or if you can cut back on somethings to afford this DO IT!!!!! Of course this isn't only for weddings; this would be great for any event you want your guests to have lots of fun at! Worth the money and you won't be disappointed. Try to look for their groupon deals (look at the exp date before you purchase) and don't hesitate to buy! Great reliable company and great product.
We got the wonderful opportunity to have the owner Marina do our photographs and Vlad do the videography. They were so kind and patient with all the excitment and chaos going on al...
l day long. They managed to get almost two thousand pictures throughout the day with out getting in anyones way. As I hair stylist who works with a lot of brides, I have heard a lot of horror stories about photographers being pushy and unpleasant. Marina and Vlad were the exact opposite. I would reccommend them to anyone and everyone who is getting married or has an event they want to make memorable for the rest of their lives.
My husband and I got married 3/31 and had booked with GS a photo booth with scrap book for the reception. When they hadn't shown up at 8:45 (8pm reception), my husband checked his...
phone. Sure enough, there was a voicemail saying that they WEREN'T COMING! There was a malfunction with the machine. It is 4/27 and we are still waiting for a refund and have not received any attempt from them to compensate for the situation. I could only choose a videographer or a photobooth for my wedding and am so upset that we chose this vendor and ended up with nothing.
They were great and really photographed so many memories. As my husband and I looked through them all the happiness came back. Vlad, Alex, and Eli put all of us at ease.
Vlad and his team were incredible. They took amazing pictures which they already had ready and showed at the reception. They have that creative vision and skill that make all pictu...
res look great no matter where they are taken! Photography and videography are one of our bigger expenses for the wedding but they are all worth it because the quality of their work is beyond what is expected. I cannot wait to see more of our professional pictures and video!
My husband and I wanted our guests to be able to take something home from our wedding. We choose to get a Photo Booth and it turned out to be a great idea because what a hit it was...
with all of our guests!! I cannot say enough good about what a great job Garden State did. I am still getting comments and compliments on how much fun our photo booth was.They had costumes and props that made it that much more fun. Garden State was easy to work with and we had absolutely no issues whatsoever. Our booth was large and at one point we had 6 or 7 people inside for photos it was great! I am so happy we got the photo booth and Garden State was definitely the way to go.
Imagine planning your dream wedding, everything falling into place perfectly until 48 hours before your wedding a Hurricane destroys it all. Well, that’s what happed to me. Hurrica...
ne Irene canceled my 8.28.11 (first hurricane to hit NYC in decades) wedding. The storm forced me to postpone my original wedding placed and hold my reception which was supposed to be in a NJ ballroom to a local restaurant 8.29.11. In the midst of all this chaos Garden State Studio was not flexible AT ALL. They wanted to charge me a scheduling fee! Hello the city is shut down, it’s not my fault plus they couldn’t get my NJ venue on 8.28.11 even if they wanted to!
Because I was now having a small reception at a NYC restaurant I contacted Garden State Studio for a refund, well of course Garden State would not budge. In the midst of chaos they showed no heart. Believe me, I would’ve love to have a photo booth at the restaurant but they wouldn’t allow it. They refuse to offer even a partial refund! I am out over $400 for a Photo-Booth Rental I never used. They’re solution is for to auction off my deposit. I am not sure who they think I am but I wouldn’t know where or how to do all that.
This company does NOT care about their clients at all and is simply money hungry, heartless vendor.
All of my other vendors were compassionate and understanding of my situation and worked with me, EVERYONE except Garden State Studio. They were the only vendor not will to work with wedding being canceled. Can you imagine dealing with a vendor like this when your dream wedding has been canceled due to storm; no fault of your own
If you are looking for work with a vendor with heart and compassion, this is not it.
Everything about the day was perfect!! I had two photographers and a videographer, all great, they were on time and took amazing pictures. I haven't gotten to see the video yet, bu...
t if it came out anything like the pictures then I'm sure it will be great. The staff was all very informative all the way up to the day of the event, always keeping me updated through email or phone calls. The prices were a little on the high side, not unmanagable but it shows in there work!
Just received my photo album, DVD, and photos from my May 14th, 2011 wedding. Garden State Photo Studio did a fantastic job. From the moment you book with them you are sure you m...
ade the right choice. They were friendly, professional, and caring. My pictures are amazing!! An even bigger bonus they are totally reasonable in price and have packages for every budget. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.
My husband and I chose donation cards to the ASPCA as our favors but wanted our guests to be able to take something home from our wedding. I cannot say what a great job Garden Stat...
e did. I am still getting comments and compliments on how much fun our photo booth was. We paid in full up front and received a free scrap book of all the photos our guests took at the wedding. Readings the messages from that scrap book along with the photos came out better than our actual professionally created guestbook! They had costumes and props that made it that much crazier.
Garden State was easy to work with and we had absolutely no issues whatsoever. I've been to other weddings where the photo booth was small and cramped; you could barely fit two people inside. Our was large and open with no bench to worry about - at one point we had 6 or 7 people inside for photos with no crowding! I am so happy we got the photo booth and Garden State was definitely the way to go!
Packages are very affordable for every budget. Staff is courteous and friendly. Pictures came out great and fast!!!
My husband and I were lucky enough to get the top two photographers and all day videographer and they were fantastic! I cannot specify enough how wonderful these photographers and ...
videographer were. They were with us all day shooting every detail and even set up a slide show towards the end of the reception for our guests to see the pictures from throughout the day. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend Garden State Photo for your wedding, or anything!!!
***They have prices for any wedding/event.
Very professional and they take great pictures!
The photographer understood exactly what we wanted and that's what we had. We didn't want the traditional shots, we got amazing pictures of the entire celebration.
When I booked them I told them that i wanted to have all the pix done before the service. we have a large family and wanted to spend time enjoying our wedding not taking photo's. ...
That went well and we like our pix and the service a lot.
We just received our online gallery and so far everything is great! Our photographer and videographer the day of the wedding were fatastic! They worked so hard and did everything...
we asked and more!
They are very organized and the service is very professional and fast, I had my wedding pictures in 2 weeks ready for review.
Price was great. We were impressed with the office staff and our consultation, but our photographer lacked some professionalism in manner. He was a bit clumsy and distracting wit...
h added confused hesitation in directing for portraits. They're are many photographers at this company. Please check the reviews of the one you get assigned to you.
