Inbal Sivan Wedding Photography

e the best spots to photograph, with the perfect light and shadows. We were stunned by her final photo gallery- every photo was elegant and unique, and we had no idea how she was able to capture every single one of our guests at the wedding, we had a big wedding! Highly recommend Inbal, we really love her and would absolutely work with her again.

tial for us to have a photographer who could capture the love we put into our wedding. We looked and looked, but everyone whose work we liked seemed way out of our price range. When we discovered Inbal, we were floored by her distinctive approach, and we knew immediately our search was over. Over the next two years (thanks, Covid), she became not only our photographer, but also our creative collaborator as we planned the event. When it came to the wedding itself, Inbal (and her fantastic collaborator, Jerry Ng, whom we also hired for a very reasonable fee) was perfect. She was on top of every detail necessary to produce beautiful photographs. She even scouted out a local garden before the event and convinced the people running it to hold it open past hours so we could take portraits! Somehow, Inbal and Jerry knew exactly where to be to capture incredible shots without ever being in the way. The photographs themselves were just what we’d hoped for: expressive, beautiful, and creative. Inbal sent them to us way ahead of schedule, along with a lovely preview slideshow. It’s hard to imagine any photographer—even one charging five times Inbal’s rates—capturing a wedding as perfectly. Hire her!!! We know we will, whenever we have another big event.

She was responsive, flexible, honest, direct, and funny! She took incredible photos despite less than ideal weather conditions, unruly family (including toddler twins), and a very dark venue. We received over 800 photos within 2 weeks of the event and we are just in love with them! Highly, highly recommend!

nt session to loosen up and get to know each other. We immediately connected with her and had a complete blast walking around our neighborhood taking photos - she made us feel more comfortable than we could have imagined! This made our time together on our wedding day even more seamless. Inbal and her assistant took excellent care of my husband and I on the most important day of our lives and we couldn't have been happier to be in their company all day long. They kept smiles on our faces and captured the most beautiful images of us that are perfectly lit, vibrant, natural and personal. We will cherish them forever! We can't wait to work with Inbal and her team again when we need to photograph our next life event! Could not recommend her more highly.

I cannot recommend Inbal enough! When picking a photographer for our wedding, it was not only important that we were in love with their work/style, but that we found a person that we felt comfortable entrusting with one of the most important days of our lives. Inbal met our standards from both immediately. First, the work: We wanted someone who would capture genuine moments without interrupting the natural flow of the day -- Inbal did that beautifully. She is a lighting expert and knows how to get the best looking shot with the least amount of intrusion. She captured incredible moments of emotion and action and made everyone look AMAZING. Additionally, she and her term were flexible with us and the needs our guest; they worked hard to ensure that we got all of the shots that mattered most to us and that each shot met her high standards of quality. I have looked at our gallery every day since it arrived and every time, I notice something new and wonderful that Inbal and her team captured. HIRE HER. Now the person: Inbal is not only a true professional, but for me, was a calming presence on the day. We had expressed to her some of our anxieties around photos/being photographed and she made sure that both my husband and I were comfortable the whole day. She checked in with me several times to make sure I was doing okay and was very understanding when I needed to take a break part of the way through portraits. Like I said, you need to be able to trust your photographer on the day of and from our first meeting with Inbal, it was clear that we could trust her. Again, I cannot stress enough how much of a positive impact Inbal had on our wedding, both the during the day and in the memories that are now captured forever by her skilled eye. Hire her for your event; it will be the best decision you make.

cisions to me, and Inbal knocked my very high expectations out of the park. Each of her photos is like a work of art. She was also an absolute joy to work with through each step of the process. We postponed our traditional wedding due to COVID, so Inbal shot our microwedding in Dallas with about 20 people. Not only did she capture great photos of each of our guests, but she also helped me plan out the timing of the wedding to optimize time with our friends and family and the best lighting for photos. She was always very responsive to any questions I had during the planning process, easy and accessible to communicate with, and very professional. Inbal is also hilarious and we had the best time during our engagement and portrait sessions with her. We are so thankful we booked Inbal and the amazing photographs we have to remember our special day!

und timing various photos to coincide with the right lighting before sunset became the basis of our wedding schedule. We had hired a separate videographer, and Inbal was so spot-on about shooting locations and lighting that he ended up following her lead throughout the day. The quality of her photos was phenomenal. She captured moments with our families and friends that passed in milliseconds but captured the energy of the day. She also turned around a highlight reel of the best photos really quickly after the wedding - I hadn't even realized that was part of our contract, but it's become the thing that me and my husband (and my mother) look at more than any of the other mementos from the wedding. I couldn't have imagined a better experience with a photographer, and would HIGHLY recommend her.

ented photographer, but she's very organized and an excellent communicator. In my opinion, what makes Inbal and her work so special, is her innate ability to TRULY capture ALL the emotions of the day- emotions in the small moments and emotions in the big ones. And when we look at her beautiful work from our wedding, I can see and feel the day all over again! My husband and I - and our families too - are so thankful for Inbal and her talent :-).

views and made so many decisions in the process, that looking back, I wish somebody had just told me from the beginning, "Don't worry about your photographer, just book Inbal and don't look back, you'll be so happy you did!" They would've been 1,000% right and we could've saved ourselves some time and effort! From the first phone call we had with Inbal, we knew we were interacting with a total professional. My husband and I had already been planning our wedding for months - we had bought some planning books and were going the DIY route - but in one conversation with Inbal we realized we had just about... oh, 100 blind spots. Inbal was incredibly helpful from day 1, there were so many times when Inbal would ask us how we were planning to execute an aspect of our ceremony where my husband and I would kind of look at each other and shrug. Without missing a beat, Inbal would chime in with, "Well traditionally, couples do it like X, but I've seen some couple do it like Y, or Z." By the end of the phone call we had an entire first draft outline of what our wedding date would look like, as well as questions my husband and I had to answer for ourselves that we had never considered. This conversation was beyond helpful and was the catalyst for us deciding we needed to hire a day-of coordinator. Simply put, Inbal's photos are beautiful. I was worried about finding the right photographer because, to be honest, I've always felt I look awkward in photos, especially more formal ones. I know a lot of people say this about themselves, but my tendency for the awkward smile has been lovingly confirmed by close friends of mine and was a legitimate concern I had about our wedding pictures. I love the way our wedding photos (and frankly, our engagement photos) came out. Inbal was able to capture all the energy and happiness that we felt that day. My husband and I still have ear-to-ear smiles as we scroll back through our wedding photos. We'll be ordering prints with Inbal soon.

ork with throughout the process. She helped us make a schedule for photos throughout our wedding day (and even helped us fit in a beautiful outdoor photoshoot at a park nearby before the indoor ceremony...despite the cold weather we got gorgeous outdoor shots and she did a fantastic job). During the ceremony she captured so many wonderful moments with our family and friends. We recently got our photos and we will treasure them for many years to come. We cannot recommend Inbal highly enough!

the prior year, but Inbal was already committed to another wedding that weekend. My sister often says that missing out on Inbal was her biggest wedding regret! Inbal flew in to do our engagement photos and the wedding and the photos were incredible! She took the time to get to know us and understand what we wanted out of the photography. She did an incredible job capturing the emotions of the day. She was able to accommodate a really big request to get family portraits of every possible combination of a large extended family. This is outside of the scope of most weddings and had to be efficiently coordinated across large number of people and it was executed flawlessly. My guests raved about how much fun she was but she also was able to blend in while photographing when needed and avoid drawing attention. As someone without a wedding planner who has never planned an event, she provided constant reassurance and guidance throughout the process. She even broke out some stand up comedy to help us feel less awkward in front of the camera. Inbal is incredibly talented and professional and we are so happy we chose her to photograph our wedding!

our engagement & wedding photos on how creative and artistic they are. She is not your average basic wedding photographer. We would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone that's looking for a truly professional and extraordinary photographer. It was an absolute pleasure working with her!!!

she took for our wedding, it's like we're being taken back to the wedding day itself. All the love, happiness and good-feeling emotions we felt that day just naturally comes back to us even a year later. Inbal is very passionate about her work. Not only is she an awesome photographer, she also responds swiftly, and always exceeds our expectations. Prepare to be happily surprised when you book her :) We also booked her for our engagement session and we had a lot of fun! I told her I didn't know how to pose and she told me not to worry about it. Haha. We had a lot of fun and the photos came out beautifully. If I choose to get married in my next life, I'd book her again! Oh and she's hilarious :D

quality of her work, the way she is able to capture the essence of the wedding and participants so artfully (NOT CHEESY) and interestingly (UNIQUE). She met with my partner and I beforehand to discuss all the details and we joked that our meeting with her helped us organize and plan our wedding more than anything. She was extremely professional, skilled, and also supportive and down to earth and fun to work with. Everyone was so impressed with how the pictures came out, we could not have been happier. We ordered lots and lots of prints afterward and had them blown up, the quality was excellent and I have continued to recommend her to my friends ever since. All this plus she is affordable which is a RARE combo. You will not be disappointed, she is simply the best.

tient, and thoughtful, she also walks you through everything you need to know on your big day re: timing and when everything should happen. She is reliable, always there if you have questions, and puts her full heart into every job she does. Inbal manages to capture the actual LIFE of the event, and I can't wait to look at these photos for the rest of forever :) Seriously, you will not regret working with Inbal!!

ard to figure out what to do with your face or your hand in a photo!!). One of the celebrants was hesitant to go out and take photos in the rain- and she and the other celebrant convinced them to go for it- and they turned out to be the most sparkly and amazing photos. I highly recommend her!! The photos are incredible and totally speak for themselves!!

mmending her to any person who mentions photos, and since our wedding, I have asked her to provide more services (family portraits). Here is why she is the best decision you’ll make for your wedding or any other photography need, ever: 1. Her photographs are brilliant—I have audible reactions to them. They are beautiful and evoke real emotion and laughter. In my search for a photographer, I kept thinking I was doing something wrong or I didn’t understand photography because nothing moved me; then I went to Inbal’s site and I FELT something. I finally understood THAT is what makes her photographs amazing—they make you feel things, react, respond, engage. 2. She has the perfect personality for being an effective wedding photographer: calm, no-nonsense, gives direction without being bossy, is efficient, respects your preferences and supports bringing them to fruition, does not take herself too seriously, is funny, is authentic. 3. Inbal helped me identify many other vendors for my wedding. I trusted her experience and judgement so much, she referred me to the most important other vendors for my wedding. Through her I got my DJ (who was excellent), my wedding coordinator, and my videographer. 4. She advised me on my wedding. Inbal was SUPER responsive and generous with sharing her wisdom on wedding planning. I would consult her on how to prioritize elements of the wedding, how to design my day, and feedback on my hair & makeup. All of her feedback was clutch and so helpful. I would use more adjectives, examples and CAPS if I could recommend her more strongly. But I think you get the point. YOU’LL BE LUCKY TO HIRE HER! She is the best, period.

out bride appreciated!) We hired her for our New York wedding in April, as well as for Fall engagement pictures in Central Park, and could not have been happier. She knows how to capture a moment! And even staged photos never felt forced or corny, which was a big worry of ours. She managed to stealthily swoop in and capture so many great, intimate moments without us even noticing. (If she want such a great photographer, she could probably be a successful pickpocket) Our families are blown away by our wedding album and literally bring her pictures to friends houses to show off. Hire her, you will not regret it!

love all the candid photos of guests dancing! Choosing Inbal as our photographer was one of our best wedding decisions.

We were comfortable with Inbal from the moment we met her. We opted for a second photographer during our wedding and we are so glad we did. Inbal also brought a lighting tech with her. I am so pleased with her talent and artistic perspective. Her photography is among the best I've seen by the most sought after photographers in the Austin area.

ctures very quickly and they were all BEAUTIFUL photos. I would definitely suggest Inbal as a photographer to any future brides. She is so personable, and fun to work with and made pretending to be a model easy and fun.

the wedding, and genuinely listened to every request I made. She showed up determined to get the best images, and she did. Everything from the details, portraits, and in the moment shots. Her pictures radiate emotion. Working with Inbal was the best choice I made for my wedding. Pictures are forever, and every bride needs Inbal to capture them.

so affordable it's crazy. I can't recommend her enough.

res she took truly captured how happy we were on this day. Every bride should have Inbal at her side on her wedding day!

r day Inbal was in easy contact and planning was made very easy. Come the wedding day she was AMAZING. She was everywhere, she was decisive, and she was incredibly non-intrusive. We just got our photos back last week and how can I put this easily, HOLY SHIT. This easily the best collection of wedding photos I've ever seen. She sent us almost 900 photos and every single was is amazing. Seriously, there isn't a single shot that you could look at and think, ehhh thats not so great. She perfectly captured not only my wife's getting ready process, but our ceremony, my family's portraits, our cocktail hour, and the fun everyone had during our party. We got them up on facebook and half of our friends have used them as their profile pictures. My mother cried looking through them. Our wedding day was easily one of the best days of both of our lives and the photo album shows why. Our friends' spirits and enjoyment shined through. She had one assistant and I swear, looking at all these it feels like she had 10. There isn't a single moment she didn't capture perfectly. I would recommend Inbal without hesitation, and I'd do it 100 times out of 100. Our day wouldn't have been the same without her.

alents. She was pretty heavily pregnant during our engagement photos at Coney Island and still hunkered down in the sand to get the right angles and turned the photos around in record time! Our Bronx Zoo wedding photos still blow me away. She and the second photographer hired through her were excellent, capturing a lot of what would have been otherwise hidden moments we would never see as the bride and groom. There are the glamour shots, of course, but a lot of great action shots of dancing and people just being happy. It's four months after our wedding, and people are STILL talking about how impressed they were with her work.

d be out of this world because we opted for the engagement pictures as well (also highly recommend having an engagement shoot with Inbal!). So we waited with bated breath for our wedding pictures to be ready and when we got them we couldn't believe that she actually exceeded our extremely high expectations. Inbal not only took unbelievable shots of all of our special moments, she managed to take stunning pictures of every one of our guests, every wedding detail, and all of the food. I don't know how she did it or how she kept track given that we had over 150 people. I have never seen wedding pictures that even compare to the treasure she gave us.

day and it really helped to have Inbal there to keep us calm and cool and laughing. Throughout all of the planning Inbal was very responsive and very helpful planning out the flow of the day. My wedding was during the week of Hurricane Sandy and Inbal made me feel totally comfortable that she would be there no matter what and that was such a relief to us. I think her prices are a great value for the amazing photos and the a la carte options can really help if you need some flexibility to get her in your budget. I can't say enough great things about Inbal, as an incredibly talented photographer and also as an awesome person to be around! Our photos are just stunning and we are so grateful!

ne yet but I have no doubt it's great.

ing them. She did an outstanding job in our difficult-to-shoot venue, setting up her own additional lighting, etc. The finished pics are all yours to do with as you please, and she sends them on an adorable customized DVD, and includes both a print-friendly and web-friendly-sized version of each photo. But best of all, she is just an awesome person with a great personality, and I secretly want to be her BFF. Seriously.

brant and fun to be around. We really wanted a photographer who made us feel comfortable and relaxed. We've seen too many stressed out photographers at weddings barking commands at everyone. We did not want that & we found exactly what we were looking for. Inbal met us at our venue twice to check out lighting and to scout for great photo locations. She was always fast to respond to questions and extremely professional. We hope that we keep in touch with her because we liked her so much. One thing you should know though is that she doesn't like taking cheesy wedding shots so let her do her thing and you'll come back with the most beautiful photos you could ever imagine of your wedding day. She also offers a photo booth service which everyone loved at our wedding!

ore amazing than anything you can imagine. Her eye is unique, bright, fun, romantic, and timeless. Book her immediately if you can get your hands on an available date!
