Ina has a very calming personality, flexible approach, and friendly demeanor that made our wedding day a lot less hectic and intense. She demonstrated great vision for the locations to take our photos and the photos came out beautiful.
Even when it began to rain during our pre-ceremony photos, Ina was able to pivot and she chose a covered location to continue shooting. She was able to capture the personalities of our entire bridal party and families in the photos.
From the beginning, Ina was easy to contact and communicate with, which is critical for a wedding. My wife and I couldn't be happier! 11/10, would recommend :)
We had met with other photographers and gone through all sorts of example wedding albums before finally meeting Ina. Everything we had previously looked at was very serious and dramatic which isn't us at all. We wanted light and happy and candid and we finally saw that with Ina's style. My husband and I are super awkward trying to work a camera but Ina was so fun and easy to work with. She caught a million magical little moments with ease. She is the sweetest person and someone I would want all brides to have the pleasure of working with.
Ina was amazing and a true delight to work with! She was attentive and communicative during the whole wedding process especially dealing with pandemic obstacles & postponing our wedding. She excels in capturing beautiful moments and her work is absolutely breathtaking!!Ina is a true professional and we are so happy with her work, thank you Ina!
Our wedding was on 12/29/18 so I'm very delayed on my review but Ina was absolutely amazing!!! Our photos came out beautiful and she made the experience so relaxing. I've experienced so many photographers in other people's weddings that add so much stress and she was the exact opposite, she had such a calming presence. Every single one of our pictures were beautiful. It was really important to us to get extremely genuine, candid and not cheesy photos and she absolutely delivered. If she is available on your date - BOOK HER! :)
Ina is absolutely amazing! Photography was something that was extremely important to my husband and I. We felt that this was one part of our wedding that we could actually keep forever. We took the longest time trying to choose the perfect photographer and once we saw Ina's work, we were blown away by her photos and knew we needed to book her. She did not disappoint! Her attention to detail is incredible and she even helped us organize a bit with all the craziness of getting ready. My husband and I feel so lucky that we were able to have Ina as our photographer for our special day. We've received so many compliments on our photos and our families are thrilled! We will cherish these photos for a lifetime. Not only is she a super talented photographer but she's the sweetest person and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you Ina!
Ina is exceptional! She is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Ina photographed our wedding on September 15, and we could not have hope for a better person to capture the most memorable moments on one of the best days of our lives.
Ina is the absolute sweetest & a dream to work with. She made us both feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which is no small feat! I loved how Ina had a vision for the shoot; she truly knows how to create magic in her photographs. It was such a cold day, but Ina was efficient and timely while capturing the best images. Can't thank you enough!
Absolutely blown away with the job Ina did on our wedding day. It was so nice to work with such an incredibly talented and professional photographer. I am not a natural in front of the camera, but Ina makes you feel so at ease and shows you all the right poses to make you feel like you've been modeling for years! And the end result of her photography really speaks for itself.
Also, I'm convinced she is part ninja with how she was able to capture the most perfect moments during our ceremony/reception while still being so discreet and not distracting from special moments.
Very receptive to different photos my bride and I requested and truly just a delight to work with. We love Ina! Can't recommend her enough!
Ina was amazing! She is the sweetest person and her pictures are absolutely gorgeous. She really knows how to capture the moment beautifully and candidly. I have already recommended her to friends!
Where do I begin? Ina is amazing. Not only is she an amazing person but her work is gorgeous. My family and friends LOVED her. She really took charge (as working with a large bridal party can be overwhelming) and made everyone feel comfortable. My mom said to me “everyone hates their photographer on their wedding day”. Well, I LOVED Ina and wanted to be around her. I’m so sad the wedding is over since we can’t work together anymore. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I hope we can work together in the future.
Oh goodness, where do I even start? If you want some of the most amazing photos of your wedding ever, you need to hire Ina! Finding the perfect photographer was the most important part of planning for me, and when I found Ina’s work I knew she was “the one”. Not only are her pictures stunning, but she is the sweetest person I worked with during the wedding planning process. Ina is extremely professional and personable all wrapped into one. I loved how easy she was to communicate with and she was incredibly efficient at responding to my questions and emails and trust me, there were a lot. My husband and I had the best time shooting our engagement session with Ina and the photos came out amazing. I'm naturally nervous in front of a camera, but Ina gave us great direction and made me feel at ease immediately. Because our engagement pictures turned out so well my husband and I didn’t even give Ina a shot list, and she nailed every single wedding photo. It even rained on our wedding day (most of which was planned outside) and she just kept shooting all the way through without blinking an eye. I couldn’t have imagined my day without her - seriously, stop reading reviews and just book Ina!
Ina is a true professional with an incredible artistic eye. Not to mention she is an absolute joy to work with! So calm, patient and easy-going. The photos she captured on our wedding day are ones we will treasure forever. We couldn't be happier with the work she did.
My finance and I did our engagement photos with IM photo studio and we are completely blown away by the beautiful photos! Ina is an extremely talented photographer and made us look very natural in the pictures. We could not be happier with the results as we plan to also use these photos on the save the date invites. I would recommend Ina for any wedding/engagement photos as you will not be disappointed with her work.
Ina and Noel did an amazing job at our wedding! They made us feel comfortable and went with the flow of things, even with our huge wedding party and inclement weather to deal with. We have received some preview photos back and we are amazed by how wonderful the pictures have turned out. We cannot wait to see the rest. We will for sure be recommending Ina to all of our friends and family and cannot say enough great things about the quality of her photos!
Where to even start? Ina is absolutely amazing!! She has done a few different shoots for me and I have been blown away each and every time. Her vision comes to life in the most beautiful shots. She is so easy to take directions from, makes you feel SO comfortable, and truly captures the most beautiful moments. (Even the candid ones!)
When she did a mother/son shoot for my son’s second birthday/Mother’s Day, she was incredibly patient with him, had him laughing and was able to capture his true personality. While he hates having pictures taken, she was able to make it FUN for him. I have used countless photographers (for holiday pictures, birthdays, etc) and Ina was the only one who was able to genuinely capture HIM. Her natural talent and creative eye are incomparable to any other photographer.
I am a professional wedding makeup artist, and I have worked with many of the best photographers in the business- Ina is by far my favorite. I have seen her work first hand- she is not only outstanding at what she does, but she is a true pleasure to have with you on your big day. BRIDES: look no further, Ina is the BEST choice for your big day!
My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Ina. She is a sweetheart, and she is professional beyond words. We are BLOWN away by her talent! My sister and I both chose to use her as our photographer for our wedding days because we fell in love with her natural style, it is truly unmatchable. Ina, we are lucky to have had you on our special day!
My husband and I had Ina and her assistant Noel for our wedding photographers on October 6th. We are beyond impressed and so happy with our decision having them. It is clearly evident through their professionalism, kindness, and confidence that they will capture all of the amazing moments on your wedding day. Ina is so sweet and makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful-very easy to work with. Ina is very creative and also gets such more than "posed" shots. We got a bunch of photos the Monday after our wedding( which was saturday) and they are absolutely stunning. I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures. You will not be disappointed and will have the most amazing experience and pictures using IM PhotoStudio!!!
The only word that comes close to describing Ina's work is magical. Working with Ina and her assistant, Noel, was truly one of the highlights from my wedding. She knows exactly what she is doing and how to make every shot a work of art. I can't recommend her enough if you want the best for your own wedding.
Absolutely amazing from start to finish! We can’t say enough how wonderful Ina has been through our entire wedding process, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day. Every photo we received was flawless. 20 hours after our wedding we received over 100 previews!! Her and her assistant Noel captured our love in ways we never imagined. Thank you!
Ina was amazing! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day. Her and her assistant captured all of the special moments throughout that day, and were so great at finding the perfect spots and moments to capture my wedding day.
I highly recommend Ina for any type of event and any type of photo shoot!
Ina is everything I have always wanted in a wedding photographer. It was important for me to find a photographer with a natural, intimate, not so much "posed" style, and I am so grateful to have found that in Ina. She is not only incredibly talented, she is a sweet and loving person. She was a true blessing on my June wedding day, from helping with my veil, to her calming words of encouragement. I have always been shy in front of the camera, but Ina has transformed me. She makes you feel so comfortable, and taught me some techniques in how to pose. I greatly admire her art and her commitment to her business. Her photos are simply breathtaking and she is truly a master of her craft with an eye for detail. She captures those fleeting intimate moments that pass us by and are easily forgotten, and it is a gift to have these moments captured forever in her photography. My guests and bridal party continue to rave about her! We love her so much in my family that Ina is also photographing my sister's Fall 2018 wedding. I am so happy that I found you, Ina! So lucky to have you as part of our family! Thank you for everything.
Ina is everything we wanted and more in our wedding day photographer. Her sweetness, confidence and professionalism is evident, not to mention her breathtaking photos! Ina's presence throughout our wedding day was calming while she captured intimate moments between my husband and I, our families and wedding guests. We feel so grateful to have had Ina as such an important part of our wedding day. Our LOVE has been perfectly captured thanks to her. Ina McConnell is truly talented, we recommend her services 1000000%. Thank You Ina! xoxo
Ina, you were absolutely AMAZING, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day! You listened to exactly what we wanted and captured all the moments perfectly! I have to say I did not even notice you were at my wedding :) so polite and got all the moments that I wanted! I will be using you again for all my photography needs!
Ina was a pleasure to work with! We're huge fans of supporting small business owners, and upon first meeting her in February 2016, we knew she was the right photographer for us. She delivered fresh, crisp, yet classic photography. You can't go wrong with Ina! She consulted with us on wardrobe, location scouting and even making sure to bring water bottles for us during our hot filled with sunshine day. We loved the photos from our engagement session and we cannot wait for her to shoot our big day. She's so talented and really cares about making every shot perfect. Thank you Ina, can't wait for the big day.
Ina is an amazing photographer. She documents the details of the BIG DAY with an artist's eye. She captures the glances, the smiles, the embraces that tell a story of love and bliss. She does the same with any of the moments that come after the start of "forever". She has photographed my family numerous times and each time she manages to capture the blessings and beauty of our forever in progress. She is unobtrusive and has a presence that allows her clients to just relax and be themselves. She has a visionary's mind and delivers beautiful, authenic images everytime. We keep booking her again and again. She is quality.
Ina is literally the best photographer I have ever worked with. Our engagement photos were absolutely stunning. Ina was very creative, initiating many diverse poses in her photos She had a real talent for displaying not only the outside beauty of our location (NYC), but also the connection me and my fiancee share. She deserves awards and kudos for all the wonderful work she does. A real talent! Thank you Ina! Natalie David
Absolutely Incredible! I have so many amazing things to say about Ina. The way she genuinely cared about us and made sure she listened to what was important to us. The care and time she took to answer all our questions and give us helpful suggestions that made our day that much better. The communication we had and the effortless way she guided us through our wedding day. The most amazing engagement session that helped me connect with my now husband in a whole new way and felt like the best date ever. The way she continued to care for us after the wedding to insure we had the most amazing legacy art book to cherish for generations to come. I could go on, but in the end, all you need to know is that having Ina as your wedding photographer will be the best decision you make. She was even more wonderful then I had imagined.
Ina and her staff are seriously amazing. Being a photographer, he has an instrumental role in how the day plays out. She was on top of everything, met with us a few days before to finalize details and get an idea of what type of couple we were and what our vision was for the day. Let me just say, the pictures are absolutely perfect, they are everything I hoped for and more. She got all the shots we wanted and didn't bother my husband or me on the big day with small details, She just got it done. Her vision is definitely one to be trusted 100%. Hire Ina for your next bridal shower, wedding, anniversary party, ANYTHING and she will deliver timeless memories that will have you crying tears of joy. She's just an all around cool chick that made all the guests feel very comfortable both during posed pictures and action shots, which is really important because people can get so awkward in photos. Ina put everyone at ease. Do yourself a favor and hire Ina!
As a bridesmaid for 3 separate weddings photographed by Ina, I can honestly say that she is the most talented and overall fabulous photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Ina's creativity and ability to capture every special moment in such a natural way never seizes to amaze me. On top of it all, she's just a fantastic human being and such a pleasure to be around. My only wish is that I knew Ina a few years back when I got married, because that is who without a doubt I would have chosen to capture my special day. She's one of a kind!
Ina photographed our wedding this past weekend and we could not be more thrilled with the sneak peek of photos we just received (less than 24 hours later!). We loved our engagement photos with her so much, but are completely in awe of our wedding photos! Prior to the engagement shoot, we were nervous about being photographed so much and didn't really know what to expect. Ina made us feel so comfortable and captured amazing and natural photos of us. She is sweet, lovely, professional, incredibly talented and all of our wedding party raved about how great she was all day.
When speaking with her ahead of the wedding, she had amazing suggestions and made us feel completely at ease about the overall day and also getting the best shots that we wanted. Family and friends were very impressed by her professionalism and ability to accommodate last minute requests as well as capture every little detail. We can't say enough good things about her and are so grateful to have had her as our photographer!!
Ina. I don't quite know how to start a review on this amazing woman. Not only is she an incredible, hardworking, exuberant, and gets the right shot every time kind of photographer, but she is an astounding person as well. I actually met Ina at a friend of mine's wedding. She was the photographer and we had an instant connection. She made the entire group feel so comfortable and wanted us to be ourselves. We started joking that she was our long lost best friend that we never knew existed. Three years later when my now husband proposed, Ina was the first and only vendor we were absolutely 100% sure on immediately following the engagement. We had our initial engagement shoot with Ina on a super chilly November day on the water in LI. Despite the icy wind and cold rainy ocean air, Ina worked her tail off. She was not only patient with me when I wanted to change my outfit 105686 times out in the elements, but she embraced it. It became a part of the whole experience. My husband is a photographer, and has spent essentially his whole life behind the camera. Naturally, he had his reservations about doing an engagement shoot and being the focus for a change. Ina had a way about shooting that made everything feel so private and intimate. There were moments where we almost even forgot she was there, while she still had such a strong direction. We couldn't have been more thrilled with the engagement photos. My favorite thing about these photos was hearing all of our family and friends who know us better than anyone tell us that they perfectly capture who we are as individuals, as well as a couple. We had a similar experience with our wedding day shoot, except better. I can say all the same things, but now she was working with 18 others. We had a very large wedding party and Ina gracefully and powerfully managed everyone with perfect direction and ease. Based on her sneak peak, which we received barely 2 days after our wedding, she had a full understanding and deep seeded connection to the vision that we had created. She committed full heartedly to capturing every detail in the most elegant and creative way. As the bride, she made me feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely confident on the day that every bride needs those things most. Ina, truly made the whole experience just a little bit easier. I would recommend her 1000 times over. Have no reservations. If you are lucky enough to call yourself her bride/couple, then you are lucky enough.
We had the pleasure of having Ina as our photographer for our wedding in July. Ina has an incredible talent and beautiful eye. I knew I wanted her as my photographer after I saw the engagement photos of friend of mine. We were scheduled to have our engagement photos on our boat, but the weather was horrible. Ina was nice enough to meet us anyway for coffee so we could get to know her more, she was very accommodating when I said I wanted to wait until the spring, early summer to do the engagement photos because I really wanted to take them on the boat and in the water. When the day finally arrived we took Ina out on our boat, and she was finding every possible angle to get her beautiful shots, including basically hanging off the top of the boat.
The day of the wedding she came to my house and made herself at home to get all the detail shots (which is a great thing) because it meant not having to ask me questions while I was trying to get ready, I almost forgot she was even there . When looking at our final photos I kept asking my mom, did you even see her take this ? I had no idea she was getting some of the shots of me that she did. I am so happy, because I really wanted candid getting ready photos and she nailed it !
My husband and I were hesitant about having engagement photos but Ina said it helps us get better shots for the wedding day, and we could not agree more. My husband was so happy that we did the engagement shoot, because it made him feel much more comfortable in front of the camera on the wedding day. She really has a beautiful eye, that is very fresh and romantic. If you are looking for something more artistic and personal, then Ina is your girl.
Ina is a gem and I would recommend her to every bride!! I love her photography style (bright and natural!) and her easy-going personality. We were very particular about choosing the right photographer not only because we wanted bright/natural lighting/not too pose-y style photos, but also because we wanted to make sure we weren't choosing someone that would just bark out orders at us the day of our wedding. We wanted a calming, relaxing person who would make us feel at ease through all the hype and anxiety, and not be overbearing and make us pose for a million and one shots - and Ina and her team were absolutely perfect and just the right amount of inconspicuous but able to capture the most amazing, true and real moments of our wedding. She got to know us, observed us and listen to us and did an amazing job. We love you Ina!!!!
The part of my wedding I was dreading the most was the pictures. That is until I met Ina. She is such an amazing person and a tremendous photographer. Our pictures came out amazing, Ina and her wonderful team ensured our unforgettable moments and memories were captured without feeling like I was just a robot in front of a camera. She put up with my terrible jokes and unrelenting sarcasm. Im sure it's a huge task to sort through all of the pictures taken however Ina found the time to give us a sneak peak only a day after the wedding! Incredible. Thank you so much, Ina!!! Can't wait to work with you again!!!! :)
Ina is amazing! We found Ina through The Knot and were very hopeful just looking through her portfolio. Meeting with her to review the details, we knew she would be a perfect fit. Our engagement photo shoot was not only natural and helped capture our personalities, but she helped us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. All of our photos from the wedding are beautiful, artistic, and timeless. I recommend Ina to anyone I know for weddings, engagements, and maternity shoots. We can't wait to use her again to capture future special moments.
In a word, Ina is AMAZING! We had met with a number of other photographers a few months before our wedding but only Ina made us feel so comfortable and at ease the moment we spoke with her. You could tell that she cared more about the quality of her work and making us happy than she did about nickel & diming us. Her prices are extremely fair and she is a joy to work with. We booked her for our engagement photos & wedding day. Our family and friends had so much fun working with her and she found a way to capture the feeling an emotion of the day, rather than your typically staged wedding photos. The way she uses light to capture the moment in every photo was exactly what Claire and I were looking for and the result was stunning. We would recommend Ina McConnell to anyone looking for a professional yet goofy photographer to be a part of your special day.
We've hired Ina as our wedding photographer for our upcoming wedding this summer. We recently got back our engagement pictures and couldn't be happier! All of the pictures came out amazing, friends and family can't stop complementing the pictures and pointing out every perfect detail.
Over the weekend we were trying to pick a picture for save the dates. We had one picture we loved in black and white, but wanted it in color for the save the dates. I emailed Ina for the color version and she had it for me within hours! We can't wait to work with Ina on our big day!for
Ina came recommended to me by a friend at work. At the time, my sister was getting married and I passed along Ina’s contact to her. My sister used Ina for her wedding and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. From her incredible energy to her stealthy ability to blend into the party, Ina has an editorial eye that captures every moment. My fiancé and I had just started dating around my sisters wedding and Ina took some of the first pictures of the two of us. The day my fiancé proposed, there was no question that Ina would also photograph our wedding. When I called Ina, I remember being nervous, hoping she did not have another wedding already book. Ina immediately started thinking about our engagement shoot trying to get to know my fiancé and I better so the shoot captured whom we are. Our shoot was a true out of reality experience. Ina had organized outfits, sending me a dress from Rent the Runway and bringing some of her own clothes to make sure I was comfortable, had props set up, flowers, multiple locations where we would be shooting- I truly felt like a celebrity for the day. My fiancé and I had such a good time taking pictures with Ina. We laughed a lot and felt completely comfortable- which is not an easy feat when someone is taking intimate pictures of you. The next day Ina had a ‘sneak peak’ of our session. I was blown away. Stunning does not do justice to the way Ina captured us simply walking down a brick path and frolicking on the beach. I can’t stop thinking that if these were just our engagement photos what are our wedding pictures going to look like. I am so looking forward for our wedding day!
We love Ina! She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot and at our wedding. When we were looking for a photographer, we knew we wanted a certain style and Ina had it! Her photos are beautiful and she is creative and fun! While I was getting ready on my wedding day, Ina was taking photos of some details: my engagement ring, wedding bands, hair piece, invitation, and even my christening gown that happened to be in my parents bedroom at the time; My mom came over to me with tears in her eyes as she described how Ina was taking the photos. Ina is truly passionate about photography and about details and you see it in her work! We can't wait to work with her again!
Ina is simply amazing!! When we first met, I instantly knew she was "the one"! She is personable, shared her ideas and listened to what our vision was for our big day. We couldn't have been happier with our engagement pictures, and were surprised by how quickly they were delivered. She answered all questions and clarified all details leading up to the wedding day. As far as the big day, we again, could not have been happier!! Ina came to the hotel where we were staying and took time to take pictures of all of the little details of the day (dresses, flowers, cufflinks, shoes, invitations, jewelry, etc.). She instantly made everyone in the wedding party comfortable. Ina truly captured the love, joy, happiness and the uniqueness of our venue and church in her photos. We were thrilled to receive our "sneak peek" within 24 hours of our wedding. We were so pleasantly surprised of all the intimate details and emotion she captured, all the time, not realizing she was even there. We cannot wait to see our final album!! Thank you, Ina!
After Faryl and I got engaged, the first thing that everyone asked (after saying congratulations) was: who’s going to photograph your wedding?! Since we’re both photographers – her professionally, me as a hobbyist; and having shot a number of weddings together, it was obviously something that was important to us both. We had a very specific style in mind, and we knew exactly what we were looking for. When we first came across Ina’s work, we were immediately impressed. It had a very “journalistic” look and feel. Her images seemed more natural, and not so much like she was posing the couples that she was shooting. She captured real, candid emotions – and that’s what we wanted. Of course, we did want the more classic “poses”, but we mainly wanted someone who could capture the candid emotions of the day. The first time we met her, we knew we were making the right choice. She was extremely friendly, easy-going, and she was eager to hear our ideas. Our engagement session was so relaxed, and so much fun. Ina had no problem including our pit bull, Nola, in the shoot. She made us feel so comfortable, and we were able to enjoy the shoot – and the pictures reflected that. She met with us a few weeks before our wedding (at the venue), just to go over any last minute requests or details that we wanted to share. She walked around the venue with us to get the lay of the land, and see where we might be able to shoot on the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, things couldn’t have gone more smoothly from our perspective. Ina was ready to go bright and early (with her assistant). They both did an amazing job capturing the day itself, down to all of the tiny details. Faryl and I never felt pressured or stressed. We got a few teaser shots the next day, and a quick little slideshow as well. We were SO happy with the teasers, and can’t wait for the rest of the images!
Ina is by far the best photographer! She is so much fun to work with and her pictures are absolutely breathtaking!! She made our engagement and wedding photos fun and never made us feel awkward or forced! She even made me run across a field in my wedding dress because I was wearing sneakers! She is so personable and fun to work with! She also makes sure you can enjoy your day and doesn't take you away from the party! She loves taking candids and stays kind of behind the scenes! I've been to many weddings where other photographers take the bride and groom for most of the time and they miss out on their celebration! We are patiently waiting for the rest of our photos but the preview we got has us on our toes! We cannot wait for the rest! I highly recommend Ina, she is amazing!
Ina is a great photographer. We did not have a chance to use our engagement photo shoot yet,so our first meeting was on the day of our wedding. She is very sweet and it was a pleasure working with her and her photographers, we enjoyed it very much. She responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is punctual.
The pictures came out amazing. Ina has vision, she is direct, and does not waste time. She is willing to use our photo ideas and puts her twist on them to make them better! She did a great job setting up the poses in every picture in a variety of ways. During the wedding, everything went smoothly, Ina and her photographers were invisible, they were on top of everything, and took great shots the entire day. Would definitely recommend her and her crew to anyone. Thanks Ina!
My husband and I found Ina through my brother and SIL. She did their engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos. We had a tough area to shoot since we were getting married in Brooklyn bridge park and wanted someone who was familiar with the area. Ina came through amazingly. We got married July 22nd and we received our sneak peek within 24 hours. She is truly amazing at capturing the perfect moment. I know how hard shooting outside can be and she really did a great job of capturing our personalities and the wonderful view. I can't wait to receive all of our photos back.
Ina goes above and beyond to make your experience working with her amazing!! She is a very reliable and professional photographer but has a way about I her that makes you instantly comfortable when working with her. The pictures that she shot for me came out absolutely beautiful and I will be sure to tell all of my friends about them!!!
I love Ina!! She is a dream photographer!! I read somewhere that it is important to find a photographer you feel comfortable around because you will be with them all day on the most important day of your life---Ina is so easy going, sweet, kind and fun to be around!! My bridesmaids just adored her...and she was able to laugh at the crazy antics of the groomsmen. NOT TO MENTION, every single photo she took is absolutely breathtaking!! So romantic, whimsical and perfect for our dreamy beach wedding. We can't speak highly enough of Ina!!
Nelson and I had our wedding this past March and Ina was such a crucial part of our big day! She made every moment fun (even though it was freezing). We loved her professionalism and dedication to the details of our wedding. We look back at our photos and have amazing intimate memories of our wedding day.
And to top it off our guests noticed how great she was! We had quite a few compliments from our guests about how well she blended into our wedding. We can't say thank you enough to Ina for adding great memories to our wedding.
My husband and I knew from the moment we met Ina that she was going to be our photographer for our wedding and hopefully some more special occasions in our life. She was so personable and easy to work with. Our pictures came out amazing and we can not stop looking at them. Each picture has a story and a great memory attached to them. Ina was able to capture all of those moments and even some that we forgot happened. We would recommend Ina to everyone we know and get to know in the years to come. You will not regret choosing Ina to photograph your special occasions. In fact you will probably start to find other occasions to include her in on because she is that GREAT!!
We hired Im photo studio for our wedding because Ina was such a professional, kind and really understood that we weren't interested in posed photos. But she went beyond that and made us look like we belong on the cover of a magazine. I love that she was able to put us at ease and always reassuring me that i looked great and was doing great ( since i am not the most comfortable in front of the camera). Thank you so much Im photo studio. You're on my call list as soon as we decide to grow our family.
There's many photographers out there but there's only few who are able to truly understand things from a bride's perspective. Ina was more like a friend to me, answering my every annoying email lol to holding my dress train and making sure to bring extra goodies (double sided tape lol yes we ended up needing that to tame the dress) she was like the friend i never had. I loved how quickly she sent us a little preview so we can relive the day during our honeymoon. Thanks so much for all Ina. I will recommend you to anyone and everyone.
Hello All!
We first met Ina at a wedding my new wife and I were in last summer. It only took that one day to decide that she was the right fit for us!
Her professional demeanor coupled with her un-matched creativity made it an easy decision.
Like our friends from the previous year, we were astonished with the final result. For someone who seemed hidden the entire night, she beautifully captured moments we missed or over looked.
We absolutely could not be happier with our perfectly our day was captured.
As we look back over the years, we will always remember this wonderful person who made time stand still, if only for a moment!

Ina was the perfect addition to our wedding day. We couldn't have found a better photographer to capture such a special moment in our lives! She was simply amazing. Ina was very clear and organized from the beginning, which we really appreciated considering how much was already going on. On our wedding day she was so bright, and filled with this positive energy that reminded us to relax, smile and enjoy our big day. She was unobtrusive and we barely noticed that she was there during the ceremony and reception. She blended right in while taking pictures. We wanted to keep everything graceful, organic and capture the natural lighting that we loved so much. Ina did just that and she did it beautifully. She also edited and gave us our photos within the timeline she promised. We were so blessed to have her and we plan to use her again as our family grows.
I had the pleasure of having an anniversary photo shoot with Ina and her team for my 4th anniversary. It was a gift from my husband and I have no words to express how grateful I am for it. I am from Barcelona with residence in Long Island. She chose the perfect spot and had the ability to connect with me and offer me advice and ideas for my ideal photo shoot in advance. She gave advice of attire, make up, colors, hair.. full advisor project. The result is out of the charts. The location was perfect and her work is the most outstanding I ever had including my own wedding pictures. She has the talent to envision the picture and make it happen on site. Also not so common she has the great gift to be able To connect with people and make them comfortable and at ease during the photo shoot making the pictures come out naturally beautiful. She is the most talented professional I came across in my life. And the final pictures are just unbelievable. She made me feel a princess and the most beautiful woman while taking our pictures. I would recommend her to ANYONE who wants to have memorable pictures and a great session on a wedding day, an engagement, an anniversary or whatever occasion you want pictures to cherish forever. I am unconditional fan and can give references about her to anyone if needed. If you choose her you will make the right decision for your special day I can assure you of that.
Ina is the absolute definition of professional. The caliber of her work and professionalism is of the highest standard. Meeting Ina the first time, on a dreary rainy day at Starbucks, she was a breath of fresh air after meeting multiple other photographers. Her work speaks for itself, but after sharing my vision with her, she came up with endless amounts of ideas for our photos. Her energy is so contagious in the most positive light and I knew she was exactly who I wanted to photograph our big day. She responded to every email almost immediately, took her own time to visit possible sites and brainstorm for our photos. One major concern of my husbands was that he did not want it to feel staged or like we were constantly being pulled away from enjoying our day for photos- Ina was incredible at fulfilling my husbands request. And the photos themselves were STUNNING. We have received numerous compliments from family, friends, and even strangers who have seen that Ina's work is some of the best they have seen. I am so incredibly lucky to have stumbled upon Ina right here on The Knot because she is not only extremely talented, professional, hard working- she was truly invested in my wedding day and I felt that from the very start of working with her. I cannot wait for her to work on shooting my growing family in the future!
From the first moment that we met Ina, we instantly felt comfortable with her. She was so down to earth and had such positive energy -- we knew right away that she was the perfect photographer for our big day.
Ina was incredibly responsive from that initial meeting, to our engagement shoot, and planning up to the moment of our wedding. She took so much time and care in every call, email, and meeting.
We weren't initially looking to do an engagement shoot, but Ina recommended it so that we had a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera. It was the best advice she could've given us! Ina was incredible and got to know us, while giving guidance and ensuring we were completely comfortable along the way. Not only did we end up with beautiful photos capturing a special time in our lives, but she was completely right and it was a huge help the day of the wedding.
The first thing that anyone says about our wedding -- whether they attended or just saw a peek on social media -- is how stunning our photos are. I still can't believe how naturally Ina captured us. The shots were so in the moment and so full of emotion. It was exactly the editorial, fly on the wall style that we were looking for.
Ina went above and beyond scouting for 'first look' locations close to our venue and found a gorgeous beach that we didn't even know existed. Throughout the day, the only way to describe her was stealthy. We completely forgot that she was even there and the amount of angles, and special moments she captured make it hard to believe that it was a single photographer shooting.
And speaking about above and beyond, we were connecting a week before the wedding and Ina asked if we were going to have sparklers to end the night. We hadn't thought of it and she encouraged us to move forward, explaining it would make for a beautiful photo and even offered to bring some extra ones she had. She was right! Not only did we end up having an incredibly special beachfront moment with our guests, but they're some of my favorite images (and currently the home screen on my phone!).
Ina is beyond special. She truly cared about ensuring everything went smoothly and that we had the most incredible experience possible. She was one of the absolute best decisions we made when planning our wedding and I recommend her to anyone I hear planning for their big day!
We really enjoyed our experience with Ina. My husband and I look forward to working with her to capture more of our milestones in the future.
Ina was truly amazing throughout my entire wedding process. Ina was patient, kind, compassionate, enthusiastic, inspiring and fun to be around and affordable! Ina listened to our thoughts and wants for our engagement photos and elaborated on them further. She was creative and so easy to work with. Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning and so gorgeous. I could not love them more. Our guests and family members could not believe how wonderful Ina and her assistant were throughout the day - never obtrusive or in your face, always in the corner catching that special moment when you think no one is around. Ina was patient when all we did was laugh as a bridal party, kind when we had to do family portraits, and energetic and enthusiastic throughout the entire day. Ina did not stop smiling - nor did we. Not only did we wake up in France the day after our wedding to a stunning preview (almost 20!) of photos, our entire album was quickly available to us. I could not recommend her enough - I am so happy to have found a photographer I know my family and friends will use for years to come.
We used IM Photo Studio for our wedding in May as well as our engagement photos and could not be happier with the results. Ina was absolutely amazing. When I first met her we immediately clicked and I knew she was just what I was looking for. My fiance and I were looking for a photographer that would capture our wedding day while allowing us to enjoy it. She captured all of the pivotal moments without us even knowing she was there. We absolutely love our wedding and engagement photos as well as our photo album. The quality is just outstanding. One word of advice for engaged couples is I highly recommend an engagement session, it allows you to become comfortable in front of the camera so you know what to expect on your wedding day. My fiance and I are not photogenic at all but Ina was able to guide us and make us feel comfortable in front of the camera.
I just saw some of our engagement photos this morning and I seriously couldn't be happier with how they turned out! My fiance and I were both a little nervous when our engagement session began, but Ina put us both at ease and was wonderful as far as giving us some direction so that we weren't totally lost on what to do! She took her time and spent much longer with us than I expected. It was clear that she wanted to do whatever she could to get the best pictures possible, and we walked all over the property we were at to get photos in many different locations. I'm so happy we chose her as our wedding photographer, not only for the quality of her finished products, but for how relaxed she made us both feel. I know she's going to capture wonderful images of our wedding day in the most natural way possible.
Wedding planning can be stressful, but I'm delighted to say that I have definitely chosen a FANTASTIC photographer and I managed to do it at an affordable price! I'm going to be recommending Ina to all of my engaged and soon-to-be-engaged friends in the area!
Ina did an exceptional job photographing our wedding. We were thrilled with our photos. We received an array of photos with a variety of candid, formal, and detail shots, all of which provided the perfect account of our day. Ina was flexible, patient, and creative. We appreciated her direction while taking photos, which helped to capture the best photos. She has the ability to make you feel comfortable and at ease, and it is evident by her photos. In addition, she was present throughout our entire wedding and made every effort to photograph as much as possible. Our wedding guests, often referred to her as a "ninja" due to the fact that she would suddenly appear to capture a certain event or special moment. I highly recommend Ina. Her skills, demeanor, and commitment to the craft is commendable.
Let me start off by saying I wanted no frills and especially did not want the miserably staged photos for my wedding in May. I have been to so many weddings where every moment is ruined with the photographer stopping and staging moments. I explained this to Ina on our first meeting and not much else because it was really my only request. She completely understood and promised that wouldn't happen.
Just Ina's aura instantly made me know she was the perfect photographer. Just as I had known from the beginning, my wedding photos are the most amazing I have ever seen. They are all captured in the moment... Exactly what I wanted! Ina was by far the easiest and most professional person I worked with for my wedding.
If you choose her I promise you will not regret it! (Sorry for the long post)
Our wedding planning has thrown a lot of curveballs to my fiancé and I, but Ina is one vendor that I haven't needed to worry about. She's an absolute sweetheart and makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. So much so, that you forget she's even there. She has shot our engagement photos (which we continue to get an outpouring of compliments on) and she will also be shooting my boudoir and wedding day. All for an insanely reasonable price. However, the product she gives you looks like you spent a fortune! I can't say enough good things about her. Even my fiancé (who hates having his picture taken) had a ball taking our engagement photos. I can't wait to see what kind of magic she works at our wedding. If you're looking for peace of mind, dedication, and fabulous work, IM Photo Studio is the way to go!
I decided to hire IM Photo Studio because i wanted cool photos, not cheesy or posed just be ourselves and enjoy the day. Ina understands that very well and was great at making us feel comfortable in front of the camera since we're not the poser types. She sent us a quick peak within 24 h of our wedding and followed up with all our pictures soon after. I would definitely recommend you to hire this photographer
It was a pleasure from the moment we met her! Ina really took the time to get to know us and what we wanted. Her assistant John was also a pleasure to work with. They captured every great moment and the photos came out beautifully. We were so pleased with the way everything turned out. Even a guest (and great friend of our ours) met her immediately after our wedding to hire her for his! Can't wait to see her again in November!
We met with Ina for a consultation and we hit it off. She understood and appreciated the little details that I was looking to capture on our wedding day and I love the fact that she is so passionate about capturing the right moments and really listening to you as a couple and what you want. After meeting with her we hired her for our Engagement pictures and they came out beautifully! We used the pictures for our save the dates and everyone was in awe of them. I can't wait to have Ina take our wedding pictures in November and continue to use her as our family begins to grow! Definitely a photographer that will make beautiful memories last forever!
Ina did an engagement photo session for my fiance and I. We are not very good posers nor are we very comfortable in front of a camera, but Ina made us feel so at ease and it showed in the pictures, they came out absolutely beautiful!! She had great ideas for the pictures and took a lot of candid ones which I love! Ina is also our photographer for our upcoming wedding and I am more than confident that the pictures for our big day will be just as beautiful!
I am so happy with my wedding photos! Ina did such a wonderful just with every single shot! She was on time, creative, super sweet, accommodating, and so personable on top of it all....I just can't say enough about how great it all was! She is an amazing artist and my husband and I plan on using her for any future life events! Thank you Ina! Xo
Ina and her team were so great to work with, they were professional and took a "fly on the wall" approach, but also took charge and helped create the formal portraits our families so look forward to.
Great photography, great service, great people skills. Very recommended
I was so pleased with Ina's professionalism, not only is she a sweetheart but she's also capable of lending a hand (e.g. providing me with double sided tape lol, thank god...helping calm my nerves down and saving me from a meltdown lol again, help show our silly side a little) besides all of this, her team is amazing and i would definitely recommend her again.
Not to mention the amazing photography. I just get in tears every time we look at our beautifully designed album she put together for us. Thank you so much Ina
Ina is AMAZING! She is such a talented photographer, she did an amazing job on my engagement photo shoot & wedding photos. I cannot wait to see I would personally use her going forward for any future family photos or any other events. She was so helpful during her sessions & makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend her 100% !
Ina and her assistant were excellent at our wedding, she captured lots of action shots of people dancing, some in mid "hair swing". I highly recommend them.
