Giovanni Photographic Artist

tist, we get to relive the best day of our lives with gorgeous photos and an amazing video. We met with Giovanni of Giovanni Photographic Artist over a year before our wedding date and he really took the time to get to know us and figure out what exactly we wanted for our wedding, whether it was the tone of our day we were looking to capture, the specific shots we wanted or even our vision for the photos. He also offered a wide variety of options for the wedding packages and the types of photos and videos he can take, and provided us with very thorough explanations of the different photos, cameras and shot types. Giovanni and his team were all very professional and accessible throughout the entire process, on the day of and in the planning of the timeline for photos and shot list for the day. My partner and I did have a lot of specifics that we wanted for our wedding pictures, but Giovanni covered it all. He included everything we asked for and more, and the end result was far better than we could have ever imagined. Our timeline the morning of the wedding was very tight and we were even running behind schedule (our fault), but we wanted to get all of our photos done before the ceremony and reception. I do not know how, but Giovanni and his team were able to make it all work, without issue. They captured all of the pictures we wanted and then some, without rushing or having any impact on the quality of his work, and without making us miss any of our wedding day. On the day of the wedding, Giovanni and his team were so easy to work with and were extremely understanding and respectful of what we wanted. They really made it a seamless and stress free process, and gave us one less thing to worry about that day. When we saw the final results of the pictures, we could not believe our eyes. We were astounded by the remarkable detail and quality of the photos, and we could not have been happier with how all of the pictures and the videos, made by Christopher Gramuglia, came out. Giovanni’s craft is truly a work of art. We honestly cannot say enough great things about Giovanni, Chris and the team at Giovanni Photographic Artist. Their service is impeccable and their work is extraordinary. Thanks to them we will always have these phenomenal photos to help us remember the most important day of our lives. We highly recommend you use Giovanni Photographic Artist as your wedding photographer! Sincerely, Mr. & Mrs. David & Elissa Figueroa

un and the photographs effortless. Highly recommend. Jimmy and his other team members were great as well!

h, you will not be dissapointed!!

ne in a timely manner throughout the day. We absolutely love how our photos came out!

work. From the photos to the editing and layout to the overall quality--We absolutely loved our photos and album and he was a pleasure to work with.

y!

y, and made sure that everything was perfect. Our pictures are breathtaking and we couldn’t be happier. So happy we chose Giovanni to capture our special day.

t and did an amazing job. Highly recommend!

at he would send his business partner Ron, who is super talented. Ron and his assistant Sal were an absolute godsend! They were the glue that held our day together. I couldn’t have asked for a better team. They were keeping track of time and the flow of our afternoon. All our photos were done pre-ceremony. They coordinated with the venue and our dj on timing for our programming. They made sure we got everything we wanted photographed. These guys worked hard and hustled. My husband and wedding party thought they were fantastic. I would have to say, everything worked out and they exceeded our expectations. No bride should be deterred from booking with Giovanni (or Ron). I’ve read other reviews that he’s doubled booked in the past. I wouldn’t be worried. We had a great experience. These guys are experts and you can expect top notch. Can’t wait to see our photos!

end without skipping a beat. He worked so well with our videographer which made the day flow nicely. I don't have enough good things to say about Gio. Thank you for the awesome memories!

wedding were absolutely perfect. He really knows his stuff. Giovanni was a pleasure to work with throughout this entire wedding planning process during Covid. Come the day if the wedding, Giovanni and his team were very professional, they were working hard, and they kept me laughing the entire time. Giovanni really knows how to capture the perfect shot. If anyone is looking for a talented, detailed, and professional photographer...I recommend Giovanni and his team 10000%

day go by so easy and they make you laugh. CANNOT recommend enough! Our pictures are one of a kind thanks to Giovanni!

as always there to answer any questions that we had, and to assure us that everything was going to work out! At our wedding on 7/11/2021, Giovanni and Dominic were INCREDIBLE! They were professional, attentive, personable, and knew exactly how to make everyone feel comfortable taking photos. Giovanni and his team captured every moment you could think of throughout the wedding day. So many of our guests have reached out to say how amazing the photographers were – they were even on the dance floor with us! We cannot wait to see how incredible our photos turned out! We also booked José for videography through Giovanni. I couldn’t say more amazing things about José! He made us feel comfortable taking videos, gave perfect instructions about what to do, and captured all of our most special moments. We cannot wait to see the final product! Overall, all I have to say is 5 stars isn’t enough for Giovanni and his team! I highly recommend booking with Giovanni for any event that you are planning!

g pictures with them was unreal. Absolutely nothing was awkward, better yet we couldn't stop laughing at just how ridiculous they were being to get us to laugh. The amount of effort this "squad" put in to making our pictures the best they can be was unimaginable. Absolutely beyond personable, I would use them 100 times over and recommend them to absolutely anyone, especially couples who feel awkward in front of the camera because that will be out the window in the first 30 seconds. I can't express enough appreciation for the effort they put in to finding the right spots to capture our perfect moments. Finally, shout out to Chris for literally memorizing my shot list, way better than I ever could and making sure we got each pose I wanted. I really cannot say enough great things about Gio & Carlos team, because they left us speechless. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want to have fun taking your photos.

nd to make me and my wife feel comfortable! Giovanni took control of everything and created timeless photos we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives! If you don’t use Giovanni, you’re doing your wedding day a huge disservice!! He’s the best!!

of that time passed to the pandemic, I cannot allow the pandemic to take the fall for the lack of communication. Let's start at the beginning. Giovanni was fantastic during the planning process. Extremely helpful with planning the timeline of him arriving and receptive to the shot list I provided. Day of: Giovanni, his assistant, Carlo, and his assistant arrived on time ready to shoot! The photographs of getting ready to the church, and ceremony all went fine. The portraits at the venue are now over and we are in the reception. The assistant that came with Giovanni was flat-out RUDE. He ROLLED HIS EYES at my mother because she was enjoying herself on the dance floor rather than at her table taking a photo. He then proceeded to tell me, with an attitude "Your mom doesn't want to take a photo she is too busy dancing." I responded with "Great I hope she is too busy dancing and enjoying herself at the wedding she is paying for. Please move to a different table and come back to her table at a later time." I then received another eye roll. As you can imagine I was extremely unhappy at this point and had no patience for the assistant any longer. The night went on and everything was fine. Carlo was SO great when I wanted to take a few photos with friends and was willing to help us out. Once the reception started I rarely saw Giovanni, he seemed to have disappeared and the only photographer on the dance floor was his assistant and Carlo & his assistant videoing. Ok...whatever. It then reached the end of the night and I swear they just disappeared. No one ever let me know they left and there was just suddenly no photographer or videographer anymore. Ok... fine. The real problems started to arise after the wedding. If you think you are recieving ONE photo before 3 months you are mistaking! I asked for a sneak peak about 2 weeks after my wedding because I was SO excited to see the photos - I did not even receive an email back saying anything. Once your full payment is recieved there is little to no support from the team. I had to ask what the steps were to move forward with building the albums, no instructions or support was given. COMMUNICATION WAS NON EXISTANT!!!! Every time I reached out I either did not recieve an email back or what I did get back was a 1 sentence email about Italy being closed due to COVID. I understand there is an pandemic but there is only so much you can blame on the pandemic. Everytime I asked about the timeline it was suddenly my fault that I did not send back the photos I wanted included in a timely matter. It may have taken me a little longer to do so and I admitted that, but blaming your client is not the way to go. After recieving my albums 19 months after my wedding I was happy to be done with this process. Now, in my contract I should have also recieved an enlargement and a photo calendar.. I never recieved those items and Gio never seemed interested in fulfilling those remaining items. If you are looking for photos of your wedding that are posed like you should be in a magazine Giovanni is the photographer for you. If you are looking for a photographer that will bring out you and your partner's personalities I suggest you look elsewhere. If you are looking for a great videographer Carlo was AMAZING!

illing to get in the snow and a little dirty to get the shot! I highly recommend.

NG!! So glad we booked him for our wedding!

s outstanding. We loved our photos and the albums. Giovanni gets our highest recommendation. Thank you, Giovanni.

ring the day. We get so many compliments on our engagement photos and our wedding album and video. An absolute pleasure to work with!

recommend him to everyone we know. We will definitely use him in the future for other events.

rst vendors we picked. We sat down with him in his office and just loved everything we saw when it came to his pictures on the wall and his albums. He answered any question I had (trust me, I probably had a lot haha) and was very responsive. On the day of the wedding, Gio and his team split up (some went to where my husband was getting ready and some went to me). I first remember meeting Carlo the videographer and he was so nice and reassured me that everything would be perfect. The team then met up with each other at the church and then the venue. Fast forward to now, we received our pictures before Christmas. They came out STUNNING. We could not be happier and working on the thank you cards with some beautiful pictures as we speak. I love our video as well - we received a trailer and the raw video footage. We also decided to do a same day edit shown at the wedding. So many guests were blown away with the same day edit! Giovanni is a wedding photographer like no other - professional, easy to work with, and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention, he was sitting down on the floor in his suit getting those awesome angles! Book Giovanni and his team for his wedding - you will not regret it!

ttlest details and made me and my husband feel so relaxed during pictures that it made the big day go as smooth as we have envisioned! Even with it being a rainy day we know we are going to have some great pictures! I can't wait to see the pictures from the big day!

ions. The day of the wedding he truly made my husband and I enjoy every minute of taking our photos. When I had received my photos I was blown away! He truly captured our love in photos beautifully. Our thank you cards were such a hit with our family and friends! We are extremely excited to work with him on our album! I highly recommend Giovanni!

any questions that I had about pictures/timing/schedules. The day of the wedding, Giovanni found every possible photo opportunity to make our photos look amazing- we cant wait to see our pictures! Him and his assistant were easy to work with and explained everything they needed us to do. I highly recommend him!!

l like you are at home. Giovanni was so honest and informative, considering it was a vow renewal for us after 16 years, and I had no idea about ANYTHING. He was easy to talk to and he genuinely made me feel immediatley comfortable with my decision. Giovanni gave me a timeline about 2 weeks before the wedding for himself and my other vendors should be adhering to and he was right on the money!! Giovanni and his crew couldn't have been any nicer to my family and me, and they were funny together too lol. Please everyone do the 1st look!! We got sooo many picture taken before the ceremony, inside and outside so we had so much more time to spend with our guests. Again Giovanni recommended it and it made complete sense. He and his team were with us the ENTIRE night with a videographer. I can't say enough about Giovanni. We are 1000% satisfied and can't wait to use him again. Giovanni is the ABSOLUTE BEST.

me down by how professional and friendly they were. Everything went seamlessly as they knew exactly when and where we should be. They joked around with my bridal party and I where we felt completely comfortable and became their friends throughout the night. I’m sure I was such a pain in the butt and he wasn’t even phased- he knew exactly when and where we should be, the perfect lighting, scenery, positions and everything to make everything perfect. He was so easy going and reliable we were so incredibly lucky to have him. You can tell that his equipment is top notch and that he has the experience behind him to make everything perfect. Trust me if you want a smoothly run, professional and enjoyable experience choose gio!!! He’s the best!

shots that he needs. He joked with us to make us very comfortable. My husband is very camera shy and he helped him loosen up and showed him how to stand and everything. This past Saturday was my wedding. From the moment he got to the hotel, he set up shop and did what he had to do. When it came to pictures, he knew exactly what he wanted. Told us to look here and look there and do this and do that. He truly made the day fun for me, my husband and my wedding party. Making jokes along the way so we were all laughing and having fun. I highly recommend Giovanni. He is awesome and an extremely talented photographer. I can’t wait to see how our pictures came out. Thank you Giovanni for making our day perfect!!

es - each one was creative and artistic - it shows that he puts thought into every photograph! We also arranged to have most of our group photographs taken before our ceremony. Giovanni made sure that he took a lot of shots, without keeping us away from the party or our guests. Thank you for capturing so many beautiful memories of our special day!

n guiding us through the day. They made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and were professional, funny, and well organized. From start to finish he was upfront, honest, and super easy to work with. Would definitely recommend!

ine and make sure he got every last shot i wanted

me in every meeting and photography session. We had our engagement photos done with Giovanni and they were magnificent. Everything was seamless up through the day of our wedding. Giovanni and his assistant Chris were outstanding, and all of our guests were so happy and impressed with his photography. Our photos came out so beautiful and elegant, and we are so grateful for all of the time and effort Giovanni put into making our wedding day so special. We can't wait to see our Wedding album with all of the beautiful photos he captured on the most perfect day! Thank you for capturing our wedding in such a beautiful way! We highly suggest anyone using Giovanni for their next event--he is the real deal!

, calm photographer! I am in the field myself, and am pretty picky when in comes to photographers, and their work. Giovanni is a 10 out of 10. Very responsive, CREATIVE, pleasant, professional, easy going, puts you at ease, very experienced, quick on his feet, organized, did I mention CREATIVE? quality really matters when you get the photos! at the end of the day, the photos he took captured an entire event, emotions, glamour, laughter, celebration, and the quality of the photos are superb. Crisp, hi-res, unique moments, great colors. Me and my husband were very, very, very pleased from start to finish with Giovanni. Book him, and don't look back!

f a magazine. Super happy!

detail he had and his willingness to get everything completely perfect for our wedding day! He gave great suggestions and was so easy to work with. He is truly the best at what he does! And Carlo & Jim got great shots for our wedding video! We can’t wait to see everything! Everyone was so friendly and funny and really helped us out with our pre-wedding nerves! Highly recommend!

d the album we were even more impressed. The album we received was beautiful, artfully designed and of impeccable quality. Highly recommend!

ictures!!!

ut. Gio and his assistant Dom are a great team that get the best possible shots. Then add in Carlo the videographer, and it's the perfect combo. Aside from capturing the moments that meant the most to us, they make a point of letting you know they always have time for you. Easy to work with and all around most of all good people. A relationship was formed and a comfort level was reached and by getting to that point, an amazing time was was captured through Gios camera.

just the right locations and angles to use. Our wedding photos and album came out beautiful and we couldn't be happier with his quality of work. I highly recommend using Giovanni for your next event!

remely professional, always made it his point to communicate with us at all times. We had an amazing time having him as our photographer and his work is Amazing. Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and making it that much more special.
