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

stions 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.

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!

ment 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!

ng 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!!

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.

ve 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.

ighting/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!!!!

nd 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!!!! :)

re 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.

f 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.

es 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

y 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!

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!

sed 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!

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!

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!

uch. 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!

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.

or me came out absolutely beautiful and I will be sure to tell all of my friends about them!!!

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!!

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.

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!!

t 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.

ring 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.

n. 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! -Angela and Jordon Keleher

d 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.

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.

hotographers. 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 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.

hem 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.

y 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.

ar 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!

atient, 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.

ained 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)

et 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!

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

leased 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!

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!

reat 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!

an amazing artist and my husband and I plan on using her for any future life events! Thank you Ina! Xo

ople skills. Very recommended

elp 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

o helpful during her sessions & makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend her 100% !
