Jennifer and Carlos,
It’s been an honor creating with you folks. It’s always so great when client and photographer click, working together with one thought.
Thank you so much for selecting me as your photographer!
Kenn was such a pleasure to work with. He was so friendly, accomodating , talented, and knowledgeable about what he was doing and the kinds of pictures that would look best. He did our engagement shoot on the Brooklyn Bridge and got some amazin...
g shots, and did the post-production work for our wedding photos which were taken by his associate, Rick O’Dell. Due to Kenn not being available for the day of our wedding we were given Rick and he did an amazing job capturing our wedding and Kenn did a fantastic job with the post production, albums, video slideshow and the quality of the prints are amazing. His package was truly a great value for the products you get. We will definitely be using Kenn in the future for our future events. He is truly a warm and caring person who works with you and does his best to give you everything you want. We highly recommend Kenn Doyle photography!
Many thanks and love,
Julie & Matthew Scarallo

OMG, thank you for such kind words. We’re very client centric. For me, it’s the expression of the couples when they first look at their album or their large prints. Rick is an absolute natural with people. We work together well, we’re both on...
the same page.
What also makes it special are the clients! You and Matt are beautiful people and so easy to work with. Rick and I look forward to working with you, Matt and your family.

Ken made our wedding a memorable one!! From the moment we met with Ken for the very first time, my wife and I knew that this is the guy we want for our wedding. What struck me the most about Ken, was his honesty. We knew exactly what we were ge...
tting with Ken, and he did not disappoint!! The pictures we received from him were out of this world! His welcoming personality and kindness, made him a pleasure to work with. My wife and I have been to many weddings over the years, and we never were a fan of photographers who spend most of the evening “posing” every shot. You lose the natural vibe of the event. With Ken, we got everything we wanted. We opted for family photos prior to the ceremony, and they turned out beautiful. For the reception, when you look through the album, you feel you’re at the wedding all over again. Absolute perfection. And the best thing my wife and I agreed on, is we barely even saw Ken take all the wonderful photos! Not that we didn’t want to see him, but the fact that Ken was able to capture such amazing photos, without even noticing he was there, is astonishing. Ken is truly a master at what he does, and I feel anyone who opts to use him for an event, will not be disappointed. Ken, Lauren and I thank you for everything, and hope to see you again for future events!!
Great Guy, easy to work with, artistic, professional.
Great job
Kenn was amazing! A consummate professional. He captured so many lovely moments. He has a great eye and each picture truly said a thousand words. When we met for our initial appointment he was prompt, shared previous work samples and was easy g...
oing. His suggestions for locations as we ironed out the details clearly showed his deep knowledge of the area (Port Jefferson). The site we ultimately selected was surprisingly empty during peak tourist season. So we were able to take as long as we needed to capture our “formal” portraits in the perfect soundfront location without interruption. During the ceremony and reception, Kenn seemed to be every where and yet was unobtrusive. It’s clear he has a passion for what he does because each picture showed thoughtful framing of the subjects. Kenn was able to capture the love my husband I have for each other and our friends and family.

ecommend to everyone I know in need of photography services. The only reason I can't give Kenn a five was the website used to browse, organize and select our pictures for print. The login process only works through an email invitation. Also the site itself does not work well with mobile devices. It is however adequate and convenient to have at my disposal when needed. Thanks for your hard work Kenn!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/12/2017
RC, Im sorry you feel this way about the website, but all you had to do is ask.
My site is open to the public. I offer my clients the security of knowing that their images are for their viewing only, unless they share them with family and frie...
nds. The thought process is, in the instructions I sent you when the gallery was open, was how to create favorite sets, lets face it, you're not going to like ALL the images. Those favorite sets can then be shared with whomever you wish.
In the end, if this was an issue all you needed to do was ask and it could have been turned of, rather than costing me my "Best of Wedding" standing
Having great pictures was really important to me on my wedding day. I'm so glad we decided to have Kenn take our photos. He is warm and funny, extremely professional and punctual. He is passionate, experienced and very talented. He surpassed ...
my expectations. I was so impressed by some of his pictures he did with a cathedral veil I purchased a cathedral veil although I already had a veil. I consider myself very punctual and every time we met he was waiting for me! The day of my wedding was extremely hot and despite the weather I couldn't be more pleased with my photos. He pays attention to detail and I'm so pleased.
Response from the Vendor on 07/25/2017
Hi there. Thanks for your positive review! It's wonderful to hear how much you loved working with your me and my art. Thanks again for letting us be part of your big day!
Kenn did a photo shoot for my family and he was fantastic! He kept us laughing the whole time and made my family feel very comfortable. The photos were so beautiful. He really made us all look great and took advantage of the lovely scenery. He ...
was very flexible with timing, and had great suggestions for planning. (We settled on Avalon Park.) Kenn definitely has the best prices around (probably save you a few hundred dollars) for the same quality if not better than everyone else! He's really just in this for the love of what he does; not for the money. I would recommend him to anyone getting married or just doing a family photo shoot!
Response from the Vendor on 07/23/2017
Thank you so much for your kind words!
Kenny
Kenn is FANTASTIC!!!! He is very passionate and really gets natural looking photos! (Nothing felt forced or fake.) He is very personable and really tries to get to know you. I actually forgot he was taking pictures at my wedding (my sister wa...
s calling him the ninja of photography!) I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kenn. I can't thank him enough (from someone who is not photogenic.)
Kenn was the photographer for our wedding in May 2017 and we had a fantastic experience with him. He was pleasant and easy to communicate with from the start, meeting with us a couple of times beforehand to get to know us and chat about how our...
wedding day would go and what sorts of photos we wanted. We found him to be the right combination of professional and fun, taking his work seriously but joking around with us a bit to keep the mood light and celebratory. He and his assistants managed to capture all our big moments (and lots of small ones) without being intrusive. Kenn always responded quickly to emails and texts, and he got us our proofs pretty shortly after the wedding. We are very happy with how our photos turned out. There are lots of well-positioned shots of the two of us and our families, as well as plenty of very nice photos of couples and groups together at the reception, and a number of great action shots. Kenn also took the time to artistically edit several of them for color and lighting, which made for some cool fairy-tale effects. We can't wait to receive the (physical) album that Kenn puts together for us. We'd highly recommend Kenn Doyle as a talented and good-humored photographer!
Kenn was great! He was laid back, a complete professional, and pleasure to work with. The whole day was perfect and Kenn certainly captured it all. Our photos are beautiful.
So happy we chose Kenn to be our photographer! He is very personable and has an extraordinary work ethic. The individual attention and great communication that Kenn has given us throughout each step is amazing. We got married on mother’s day a...
nd were very concerned about the traffic; Kenn was not, he made us feel at ease and ensured us that everything would be fine. He arrived at the church early and made sure everything went very smoothly. We are so happy with all of our beautiful pictures and album that Kenn has worked with us on. We are so thankful that we found Kenn to be the photographer at our wedding because his biggest concern is making sure that we are happy.
Kenn Doyle is a good "old-fashioned" photographer who takes pride in his work. Being the mother of the bride he kept in touch with me during and after the entire wedding planning process. His work is true to life and very natural and with Kenn ...
you get the most bang for your buck!
What an awesome time. Kenn is so easy to work with and his work took our breath away.
From our Engagement session Kenn put us at ease and all our family commented on the high quality work at reasonable cost.
We would highly recommend Kenn to...
all the brides looking in the Long Island Area
Kenn was absolutely amazing! From the time we first met him about a year before the wedding, we were comfortable and confident trusting him with capturing the moments of our big day. On the day of, Kenn was wonderful and calming to work with. I...
t was a pleasure to have him be a part of our wedding! Many family members commented to me how great he was throughout. I highly recommend Kenn Doyle and can't wait to see all the pictures!
I hired Kenn to shoot my wedding reception after finding his portfolio on The Knot. If I could give Kenn more than 5 stars I absolutely would! I would certainly hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a photographer! Kenn was easy...
-going, approachable, super prompt, flexible, and on top of meetings. He went the extra mile to give us everything we wanted, and even met with us 1.5 hours earlier than planned to shoot during sunset. We received gorgeous photos less than 2 weeks after our reception. Kenn's passion for the art of photography and mastery of his craft is apparent in each photograph he produced. Kenn was an all around excellent human and photographer, and 1/3 the price of all the other quotes I received. I can't possibly recommend Kenn enough!
Kenn did our February wedding and was amazing! We had a unique wedding that spanned over two days and he was there for every second of it! He was patient with my husband and I and all of our family and friends. He captured every moment perfectl...
y! His prices were by far the best around but you can not tell the difference in his work from the over priced photographers. Every single picture he took was gorgeous and we are having a tough time deciding on pics for our album! We've recommended him to all our engaged friends!

hat all my photos are online for me and my family/friends to see. He was on time and was all over with the camera capturing the memorable moments from out special day!
I recommend Kenn 100%. He was very warming, very kind and he is something that makes you feel comfortable to be around. No awkward poses !!! Loved him !!!!!
Kenn was great, we had family portraits done at a Pumpkin Farm near Mattituk. He took the time to find the best background, scenery, and was a pro with getting a great picture with both our 5 year old and our 9 month old. Highly Recommended!
Kenn has been amazing. He was excellent with setting up appointment times. He got to know us as a couple and made our personalities shine through photos. He was extremely fun, honest and professional. Even with the edits, he took my input, desi...
res and made everything come to life. This is just the engagement shoot. I can not wait for my wedding. Such a great guy. Quality, Attentiveness, Creativity and Professionalism are a few of the things Kenn brings to the table. I'd book again!!
Response from the Vendor on 10/16/2016
I loved working with you guy for this session and can't wait for the wedding day. I will do my utmost to give you images that you will be proud of.
Kenny
Kenn is a great photographer! Although he was not our original photographer for our wedding, once I met him and saw some of his work I remained excited and confident. He did our wedding at Crest Hollow Country Club on August 4th, 2016. He is ve...
ry professional and when he says he's going to be early, he means it! (Arrived at hotel about a half hour early and got right to work). You can tell Kenn loves what he does. And boy are the photos AMAZING! Its hard to pick a favorite. He can take a photo and filter it many different ways while still highlighting the moment. He is sooo good with capturing moments, I didn't even know some pictures were taking (lol). I am very satisfied with his services (there was another photographer there to help but Kenn stayed the entire time of 8 hours) as he listened to my ideas for the photos I wanted to capture. He certainly wants his clients to be happy. Definitely recommend his services!
Kenn Doyle photography is awesome! We hired Kenn for our wedding on 8/19/2016 at the Baiting Hollow Farm Vineyard and he exceeded our expectations. Kenn took the time months before the wedding to meet with us at the venue and talk about photos ...
that are important to us and to look at the lighting and areas to capture photos. On the wedding day, Kenn went above and beyond and captured all the important shots and plenty more! Kenn is so creative and talented and he made sure nothing fell short of perfection! We loved working with Kenn and our family and friends enjoyed as well. Kenn is so awesome and I highly recommend him for his talent, professionalism and dedication to his craft and clients!

My husband and I are very happy with the work that Kenn Doyle Photography did on our weeding day. From the beginning we feel the passion and the love that Kenn has for his work. We felt that he will be able to capture beautiful pictures which w...
e will treasure forever.
On the wedding day, he was on time and helpful with every member of the bridal party. Kenn and Gayle are friendly, open to suggestions and requests, responsible, artistic, knowledgeable and most important they are very professionals.
Once, we started to review the pictures we were amazed of all the images Kenn Doyle Photograpy took that day. From me getting ready, from my husband waiting for me, pictures of the ceremony, reception and the people we love. He capture every detail. In fact when we looked the picture we were able to remember and to appreciated everything else that happened that day.
Moreover, I also, wanted some picture by the deck I knew I was asking to much because it was a long and hot day; however, he did not hesitate, he make me happy and for that and for more I am really grateful that we found him.
We had a tight budget but we believe that having a professional photographer was something that we could not compromise. I did my research and he had the best reviews and the best price. I absolutely will recommend Kenn Doyle Photography because Kenn feels love and passion for his business which is reflected in every picture he captures.
Sincerely,
Tatiana and Fernando

Gayle and I both wish you Buena Su...

Gayle and Kenn
Kenn was exceedingly professional and his photos were of the highest quality. My husband and I were very impressed and pleased with his work.
Kenn has been very understanding and patient with us, right from the beginning. LGBT friendly, Pagan friendly, and understanding since my groom is so painfully camera shy.
On top of all that, due to emergencies in the month after our wedding, ...
he has been extremely patient with us taking so long to get back to him with our photo choices.
We absolutely would recommend him to others.
My wife and I were so glad we chose Kenn to cover our wedding. Kenn was a pleasure to work with, from start to finish. Always punctual, professional, courteous and incredibly accommodating. Kenn never failed to follow through with any requests ...
we had and his responses to e-mail/texts/phone calls were near instantaneous. Kenn provided us with a multitude of fantastic shots to choose from, and his rates were substantially lower than other photographers we spoke with, which was great because we were on a pretty tight budget. I wouldn't hesitate to use Kenn or recommend him to someone looking for a professional on a budget.
Response from the Vendor on 06/21/2016
M and A,
I thank you for your review.
I love my clients. My formula is to get to know the people I work for and not be the cause of stress on their very important day.
The two of you made my work easy! I felt drawn into the celebration, part...
of the family. Under those circumstances capturing the essence of your special day was easy.
Kenn was early, he met my then fiance to take pictures prior to our ceremony as planned and he even helped to keep her calm. He was very professional and all of our guests said the same thing.
I will recommend him to anyone who needs a photo...
grapher, and call him when we decide to expand our family.
Kenn Doyle was the photographer we chose for our daughters wedding because he made us feel his passion for photography at our first meeting. He made sure we had all the little details out of the way prior to the wedding day which made the day m...
ore enjoyable for all. He stood in contact with us before the date and showed up on time as agreed upon. His attention to detail was exceptional and we loved all of the photographs. He even sent a few pictures to my daughter the day after just so she could have them until he finished editing the rest. I highly recommend Kenn for his Artistic View, Personality, and Professionalism.
Kenn was so professional while being very friendly letting the two of us truly relax while he produced his images.
His work was splendid from an creative and technical standpoint and we love how he took some standard poses and gave them a tota...
lly new feel!
We highly recommend Kenn to anyone wanting a highly capable and friendly photographer.
Barb
My fiancée and I met Kenn shortly after we contacted him. I was so stressed over the fact that at the last minute the photographer we had lined up for our wedding couldn't be found, having taken off with our deposit and leaving us high and dry....
From the moment we met Kenn, he put our minds at ease, acting is such a professional manner while being warm and friendly. His questions of us were aimed at finding out what our expectations were and taking as much of the stress off us on our wedding day.
The day of the wedding, Kenn and the second photographer were everywhere but not in a obstructive way. Once we received the proofs we knew nothing was missed.
The photography was better than we could have imagined. Kenn pictures can only be called art! My mom on seeing the pictures started to cry, so happy was she with his work.
I highly recommend Kenn and his team and know I will be reaching out to him to capture all the important moments of Drake's and my new life together!
Amanda
Kenn was very attentive to our needs and was very willing to use our ideas as well as his own creativity. He spent a lot of time with us, never made us feel rushed. The photos are amazing!! We are so grateful to have him to help capture our ...
special day.
Hiring Kenn was the best thing we did. He was so helpful, punctual, and took beautiful pictures. He was so personable and very easy going. He definitely knows how to get amazing pictures at sunset. He was such a great photographer I hired him ...
again for my daughters sweet 16 in October. I highly recommend Kenn for any occasion or special day.
We hired Kenn to photograph our wedding on the Fourth of July. Our venue was the Lauren Kristy Paddleboat on the great South Bay. This was my first time using Kenn and I was a little nervous, but when my husband and I saw Kenn's portfolio with ...
his boat pictures, we decided to go with him, and I am really glad we did. Kenn agreed to meet with me and my husband in person (which made us both so much more comfortable), and he was quick to respond to my phone calls, texts, and emails regarding our big day. Kenn even reached out to us to make sure that we were on the same page with timing and a list of photos we were hoping for. I really appreciated that. The day of the event he arrived early and got some really great shots right away. He was flexible (I had a bunch of photo requests with family members) and he captured so many wonderful moments. His photos were beautiful and the edits he did were excellent. It's not just the memories of the day but his finished photos are a work of art in and of themselves. I am incredibly pleased with the pictures. I would definitely recommend Kenn, he was a pleasure to work with and the photos are amazing!
Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2015
Genevieve,
I loved working with you, Kevin and Ronan. The venue was made for great images. Thank you so much for your kind words. Kenn Doyle Photography looks forward to capturing all life's moments with your family.
Kenn
Kenn is a great professional Photographer and a gentleman; We (everyone at the wedding) were very pleased with him.
Kenn went above and beyond my expectations; (I contacted him only 2 days before the occasion so I was a little nervous but from...
the moment I spoke to him over the phone I felt made the right choice.
I originally planned to have him only for 2 hours but it went on for 4 hours he never asked for anything or complained (of course he deserved to get paid for the extra hours) I will definitely recommend him to all my family and friends and I will use his services for any other events.
Thank you for your OUTSTANDING JOB.
