Paul J. Spetrini Photography

l is professional and engaging. He always respected all the quirkiness that came with the two of us and he quickly felt like a close friend. Paul was immediately excited for our vision for our wedding, our venue, and for the time of year. His dry sense of humor and confidence made us feel comfortable entrusting him with the photos of one of the most important days of our lives. On the day of the wedding, he worked liked crazy. He was seemingly everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He blended fluidly into our crowd during the party, most people forgot they were being photographed completely. During bridal prep, he knew exactly what to say and how to lead me through the beginning of the day, allowing me time to reflect and release some of my nervous energy. He helped me relax and get excited for what was next. He was a strong guide for everyone that day, and his command behind the camera was incredible. You just wanted to listen to him and do what he said. Everyone trusted him and loved his energy. Even when he told our entire group of wedding guests to redo a moment for us, eventually creating one our favorite memories of that day. Paul really dives in and gets involved in the party, whether he is skirting through the dance floor or laying in the grass for a perfect angle, he knew where and when to be. We also had a second photographer, Mike, and the two of them made a great team, feeding off each other’s vision and making us laugh and have fun the whole time. Getting a bunch of sneak peek pictures the night of our wedding was amazing. It made us even more excited to relive the day, because even the 25 pictures he sent, were perfect! Then after long anticipation, we got the final product. And oh my gosh were we stunned. The photographs are breathtaking. They feel like us and they feel like our day. You can hear and feel the laughter and the love in the photographs, each holding a full story. They are even more than what we could have hoped for, including the sheer number of them! It was so exciting to hear how engaged he was with our wedding and how much fun he had that day too. We recommend Paul to anyone who wants a responsive, excited, fun, and professional photographer. He will make you feel like you are the only ones that matter to him and that he is your best friend. Like I told my husband, “Paul my was spirit guide that day - he helped me realize that the day was about us and helped me relax”. Paul helped make our perfect day what it was and we are overjoyed for stumbling upon him that day in January 2020. Thank you thank you thank you, Paul!!

day. I had many requests on our wedding day and he made everything go so smoothly. All of my family and bridal party were amazed and how quick and organized he was with those stubborn family members who hate getting pictures taken. When it came to my 5 different first looks I wanted Paul was 100 percent on top of it. Our pictures are amazing and Paul even got in the middle of the dance floor and got great action shots! If you are reading all of these reviews like I was on the hunt for vendors I promise Paul will not disappoint. Paul captured our wedding day perfectly and we will cherish all of these forever!

he was, he took the the time to listen and hear us out in what we wanted. The quality of the pictures are next to none. They are beautiful and exceeded our expectations. I love that Paul throws in a mixture of the standard wedding photos with raw candids and everything in between. He also made it a point to photograph our dog because he knew how important it was to us. If you are in need of a photographer do not hesitate in booking Paul.

espect. We were beyond comfortable with him. The quality of his work is nothing short of amazing, and we are so blessed to have had him as our photographer. Our photos came out absolutely perfect. Paul's attention to detail is something that every single couple deserves. The memories he captured for us are something that we will cherish forever. He was able to capture our love, our friendship, our silliness, and just our overall relationship in every single picture that he took. His work ethic is not something you can find everywhere. I am so glad that we decided to use Paul for our wedding, I recommend him to anyone and everyone, especially for those who are looking for someone to make you feel comfortable and at ease. We were both able to really be ourselves and that is something that we will never take for granted!

that truly took time to meet with us, and find out about us; who we were individually, as a couple, and what our story was. He took the time to go through his portfolio and explain his process of photographing a couples wedding and truly capturing the day for them. This, right off the bat, told us that Paul was the right choice to capture our special day. The product we received in the end was even better than expected. We started with an engagement session, which worked out great, as Paul took pictures from every possible angle! We went through several poses from each side and different angles so that he knew what we felt most comfortable with and liked the best. These of course came out great, and made us feel even more comfortable that we were in great hands for our big day! Leading up to the wedding, Paul took the time to go over the entire day and every detail, as well as provide us with certain expectations so we could be prepared for the unexpected (as every Bride and Groom can attest there always are). The day of our wedding was above and beyond anything we could have ever expected. Right from the beginning Paul caught all the special moments of preparation. Throughout the entire day he took control when necessary and provided guidance to keep everything on track in order to fit in all our desired formal photos; family, wedding party, various locations, and poses. During the Ceremony we didn't even notice him, but looking through all the pictures its clear he was all over the place to capture every single moment! Then, during the reception he took it to a whole other level!!! Every single person that attended our wedding mentioned how much work Paul put in to photograph everything! He was running around, sliding on the floor, and even standing on chairs. Going through the photos we were extremely impressed how he made sure to photograph the entire reception set-up before anyone arrived, as we didn't get much time to appreciate it the day of, and that he managed to take photos of every guest! He truly went above and beyond for our wedding day! The final product was just as impressive as the work Paul put in the day of our wedding. Nearly 1800 absolutely beautiful photos were provided to us on an incredibly organized thumb drive. As we scan through the photos, we can fully appreciate how every single moment from our special day was captured. It was such an amazing experience working with Paul, and are absolutely thrilled with the memories he captured that we'll always be able to cherish! We would highly recommend Paul to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!!!

os that truly told the story of our wedding. He worked seamlessly with our other vendors making our day totally stress free. His turn around is quick, without jeopardizing quality. Paul photographed nearly 5000 photos the evening of our wedding and gave us 2000 edited photos! We loved that when Paul is finished with the photos he schedules a time to sit down and look at them all together, it was like we got to relive the day all over again. We have not been able to stop looking at the photos since the day we got them and find something new in each one every time we look. His balance of great formal photos with amazing candid photos is something we will treasure forever. We cannot recommend Paul enough. Thank you Paul!

big and small moments throughout the day. It comes as no surprise that Paul himself is a down to earth and genuine person. It is also a plus that he is one of the more affordable photographers we found, and everything we received went above and beyond our expectations. He is truly an amazing person and a skilled photographer. Everything he does, he does professionally and enthusiastically. His effort, passion, and care clearly shine through in his work. When he met with us for our engagement photoshoot, even though it was nearly a year after our initial contact with him, he recalled all about our wedding's specifics, and took care to make sure we were comfortable with his style of posing and framing. We really appreciated how he took the time to listen to us on what we wanted and what our wedding day entailed. In our situation, we had a very long schedule starting with a traditional tea ceremony in the morning, leading to a white wedding ceremony and reception through the afternoon and evening. He was there for every moment, and we felt less stressed knowing Paul was there to keep us on schedule. Our package included a second photographer, and while her style of photography was different than Paul's, her work was just as impeccable, and the variety between their two styles made for great complementary perspectives on the day. We, as well as our parents, friends, and family, were so incredibly pleased with our beautiful photos! We highly recommend him for your wedding photography needs.

oddard State Park in order to get the best shots. Also, he dealt with us being highly awkward when it came to being photographed, haha. Our shots came out great! Before our wedding, we had a couple consultations with Paul about what we wanted on the big day. And when the day came, Paul and his second shooter, Laura, were everywhere we wanted them to be! They got great shots while we were each getting ready with the groomsmen and bridesmaids, and then during the ceremony, cocktail hour and the reception. Our friends and family couldn't stop talking about how good he was about getting all the photos they wanted. Once the ceremony was over, Paul was able to get us some "sneak peek" images within 24 hours, which was really incredible on his part. Between his travel time and when our ceremony ended, it meant he was editing photos at 2 a.m. or 3 a.m. - one of the signs of his dedication to making his couples happy. We got all of our wedding photos, as well as a flash drive and an online gallery to share with family and friends, within a month of the ceremony date. All in all it was a great experience, and we would highly recommend Paul to any potential clients.

ruly impressed on how much Paul wanted to learn about us before diving into his own work. He jotted down the ideas we wanted and we felt our voice was heard. Since we didn't hire a coordinator for the day of the wedding, Paul was our guy to keep us in line. He stuck to the agenda he created. He promptly showed up to the bride's house and immediately took action. He acted as a "fly on the wall" taking photos while professionally giving directions. He was aware of his timeframe and left to meet the groom at the church. Paul noted he photographed a wedding at the church before and recognized the layout, lighting, and knew where to stand for which parts of the ceremony. After the ceremony, Paul was quick to capture our wedding party and family before the rain came. Luckily the rain never fell, but Paul got some great shots with the lighting and clouds from the sky. Paul caters to your every need, is always responsive, and most importantly once you hire him you know you have an expert you can trust. He even provided some written commentary (Blog) that helps us relive our day everytime we read it and reminds us of how special our wedding was. Thank you Paul!

ions, and that says a lot. Perhaps my favorite thing about Paul's work is his unique talent for storytelling. I know Paul from my former work at a local newspaper, and his journalism experience carries over into his wedding photography. He doesn't deliver only the typical posed photos of any wedding photographer, but also will capture candid moments and raw emotions . This was particularly important at my wedding because my parents couldn't attend in person due to the pandemic. (I'll also note that my original date was postponed, and Paul was incredibly understanding and easy to work with rescheduling.) So beyond a zoom video, my family was only able to experience the wedding through photos. Paul captured the true essence of our day to a T and delivered a ton of photos (like seriously so many photos!) so that me, my husband, and our guests could relive that awesome day and evening, and my parents could get a feel for the day too. During the wedding day and reception, Paul was incredibly professional and skilled. My guests couldn't stop talking about Paul -- he was a star the way he would angle himself to get the perfect shot. That being said, he never felt "intrusive" -- I never felt like the camera was "in my face" so to speak during our day. Paul delivered our photos on a meticulously organized flash drive, and provided a collection online for social media sharing. To top it all off, he wrote a heartfelt blog post, which meant a lot. If you're looking for someone who is professional, easy to work with, and delivers beautiful and emotion-packed wedding photos, I could not recommend Paul enough.

iceable. After working 9 hours straight, he went home on the night of my wedding and sent me sneak peeks in which blew my mind. The quality of photos and creativity was everything I ever hoped for. He went above and beyond any expectations I had for my wedding photographer. He made everything feel so natural and easy especially during such crazy times. By looking at his photos, you wouldn’t even be able to tell we were in the middle of a pandemic. I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos in weeks to come. A HUGE thank you to Paul for all your hard work and time!!! I will be recommending you to anyone and everyone I know having an event or wedding in the future!

w he would be my photographer when it was my turn to say " I do". Paul makes his clients feel so comfortable and he has such a fun, exciting, upbeat mentality that makes the day even more special. If you are looking for special wedding photos that are a little "outside the box" or for a photographer who doesn't mind sliding across the floor to capture that special photo, then Mr. Spetrini is your guy. We were very lucky to have Paul for our wedding day, we were truly impressed with his ability to convey our story. He captured every moment as if he had been part of our lives forever. Any couple looking to truly tell their story needs to look no further than Paul. Thank you again from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so memorable.

great photos to capture the experience; especially since some loved ones couldn't be there. Paul is professional, patient, and personable. Above all, he is interested in getting to know *you* and your loved one(s) and telling your story. He goes out of his way to capture the special, candid moments - some of which you probably forgot about until you go through your photos and relive them. Paul is also very affordable, yet in every way his photography exceeded our expectations. You will not be disappointed if you utilize Paul J. Spetrini Photography for your special day.

mate ceremony at our home in August. We postponed everything for a later reception date, except our wedding photographer Paul, from Paul J. Spetrini Photography. Paul was amazing! He showed up to our home an hour prior to the ceremony and was able to capture each of us getting ready with our respective families. I honestly didn’t even remember him taking those pictures, Paul interacted seamlessly with our families and blended right in. Between the nerves and excitement at times I didn’t even realize Paul was snapping pictures. Paul made every member of our family feel at ease and relaxed. Paul was at our home for 2 hours and almost took 2,000 pictures! By the end of the evening we were surprised to see an email from Paul containing 12 pictures that were absolutely stunning from our special day. Paul told us that 3 weeks from our wedding we would have our pictures, and he definitely delivered. We can’t stop telling everyone about them. They are amazing and the way Paul can the emotions of the day in a picture are one of a kind. The coolest part is the cell phone App, which we have been sharing with our family and friends. We will gladly call Paul for all future events because not only did the quality of these pictures really captured our love and happiness that day, but by the end of the day Paul felt more like a family member than our photographer.

was sure to keep us in the loop as his schedule changed due to the pandemic, in case we ended up needing to reschedule. He made the whole situation, pandemic included, as unstressful as possible by always being accessible, flexible, and thoughtful. He genuinely cares about his clients and treats them like more than just a number. He photographs weddings because he’s passionate about helping couples on one of the most important days of their lives. As you get to know him you see how much he really cares. The advice he gave me before I walked down the aisle, because he has clearly worked with many couples, is an example of how he shows that he cares and I’m sure he had similar advice for my husband. Furthermore, he is a very talented photographer. My husband and I are not usually a photogenic couple. However, our wedding photos came out stunning. If you look at his website, you’ll see for yourself how beautiful his photography is. He is willing to do whatever it takes to get a good picture and every photo he snaps is beautiful. He truly documents the day with each picture. When looking at your gallery after your wedding, you’ll see how each snapshot tells its own story. When all of those pictures are put together, they tell the story of your day in a way that is so raw and genuine you would have never expected it. I truly look forward to working with Paul again when we have our larger celebration in November.

is so personable! He really made us feel at ease in front of the camera. During our consultation he showed us tons of examples and different ways he captures weddings- each unique to the couple he’s photographing. For our engagement session and wedding, he did a great job getting down to business making sure we captured all the necessary shots, but he was also game for some impromptu shots as well. I especially loved the candid images he captured for our wedding, where you can see our true emotions during such an amazing day. Paul went above and beyond the day of our wedding and we have the photos to prove it. Every shot was better than the last! We are so happy we chose Paul as our photographer. Professional, affordable, and just an all around great guy. Worth every penny!

tail and expertise actually set a tone that was instrumental in so many aspects of our wedding; from the planning with timelines and in depth thought to what we want to highlight in the day, to making sure we were both relaxed to best reflect our emotions and joy while making sure we take in those special moments he was capturing for us.   The great experience didn’t end with the wedding day as he took the time to walk us through the creation of our album, and share in detail the best shots of our wedding. When we first began to look for a photographer we knew it was an important aspect, but we basically were just hoping to find a photographer whose style appealed to us and would capture the story of our wedding.  Paul immediately stood out to us at a bridal show through the appeal of his photos and his genuine friendly personality.   The initial consultation was something that was a pleasant surprise. Paul was both friendly and incredibly organized taking little notes and asking great questions that helped us define what would be most important to us.  He walked through the details of the work he will put into our wedding while making notes on our plans for the wedding day and what has led up to it.   We did not realize how important those details would be until we saw the finished product. Paul was able to identify what would be most important for us and build a package and timeline that would best suit our needs and deliver the best result.   Not only did we come away from the consultation confident we had the right photographer, we were also more at ease in the wedding planning process.  Paul’s organization and well thought out timelines were instrumental to having our entire wedding go off so well.  It was so easy to be able to plan other vendors and aspects of the ceremony and reception from the timeline Paul has built to capture the moments that would be the most important to us.  Paul surpassed our hopes for the wedding itself.  We could not believe how hard working he was through the entire day.  The planning and details that started with the initial consultation played out perfectly during the wedding as we never felt rushed, or that his presence interfered with the day.  The exact opposite was true; his professionalism and charm helped make the most of the day, and in turn the most of the shots that he captured.  There were even times for both of us where he made sure we took in what was happening around us and reflect on what it meant to us.   He worked exceptionally well with everyone involved; from hotel staff, to the church, the reception staff, our families and guests , and even the second photographer that he brought in as part of our package needs.  He not only worked well with everyone but he was always actively looking for opinions and cooperation with all of them.  We feel this was a major factor in why we were so impressed with all the pictures he took.  Paul J. Spetrini Photography exceeded every expectation we had, delivered on the timetables that were promised, and provided us with an incredible way to relive so much of our wedding day.  We really feel Paul delivered incredible value as promised, and provided us with an incredible way to relive so much of our wedding day

got into this business to give couples a chance at getting absolutely stunning photography for a reasonable rate, he is a seasoned professional who really took care of us. Paul is attentive, responsive, and excellent at communicating. He was always exceptionally quick with answering any of my (million) questions. At our engagement session, Paul could sense we were a little nervous. He was explicit and kind with his instructions – explaining all the while why he was asking us to move in a certain way, or hold our heads at a certain angle – Paul can see the shot before it happens, and he knows exactly how to manipulate your surroundings and how to hold yourself to get the most breathtaking pictures. Whether is he is sprawled out on the ground, or directing you 100 feet away across a pond, Paul is absolutely willing to go to the distance (both literally and figuratively) to get that special shot of the day. My wedding day, is a blur. I can tell you, I’m the kind of person that is always on time. In fact, I’m early to just about everything. So when my wedding party and I started to get really down to the wire when we were getting ready – I started to get nervous. I was nervous we would be late, and my mind was all over the place, making sure my bridesmaids had what they needed, my mother had what she needed. I had one friend doing my hair, the other working on my eyelashes, another one getting me into my dress – it was a bit chaotic. I didn’t know it at the time, but Paul was the person I needed in that moment to cut through the chaos and help lead the way. He cleared the room of almost everyone, and for the first time I saw myself in the mirror. I almost didn’t recognize myself, I was truly a bride. I was a bit taken a back, and started to get a little emotional. Paul told me to look in the mirror, close my eyes and take a deep breathe. In the chaos happening all around me, he quieted things down and let me actually take a moment for myself, to realize what I was about to do, and marry the love of my life. I will forever be thankful for Paul for making it possible for me to take that moment for myself. I’ll never forget it. The rest of the day was incredible, and Paul captured every moment so beautifully. He went so far above and beyond for me and my new family. He was just as attentive and communicative with me post wedding as he was pre-wedding. Our pictures arrived exactly when he said they would. He was thorough, gracious, and kind. Everyone I show the pictures to is absolutely taken aback. Sometimes I can’t believe these photos are actually mine – but they are, thanks to Paul. Thanks to his photography, I get to look back on the best day of my life anytime I like, and see it just as vibrant and perfect as it was. You needn’t look any further for a wedding photographer, you have simply found the best with Paul Spetrini.

ig day. We got all of this and more from Paul. He was personable, perceptive and engaging, and we are still hearing from our guests that they were amazed at how he seemed to be everywhere at every moment of the day, capturing every detail. He was a huge help in planning the timeline of our day, and was incredibly knowledgeable about what to expect at different moments. Our favorite part was the fact that he made sure to give my husband and I a few minutes to be together and reflect on our day and and our journey together. These few minutes became some of our most cherished moments of the day, thanks to Paul! Our photos were amazing, and we love looking through them to relive the day...even the moments that we missed the first time around! We can't wait to recommend Paul to family and friends, so he can document their stories, too!

s leading up. Our entire photographing planning portion of the wedding process was easy and that is priceless. Paul is professional, passionate & made us feel like we were the only couple he was working with. His timeline direction was essential in an already hectic day running smoothly. He captured everything & more, which I already knew from witnessing him up high and down low during the big day but quickly re-discovered when he met with us to present the wedding photos, so many great angles. He knew exactly where to be & without ever being in the way. He arrived early & left later than expected, truly ensuring our expectations were met – and they were exceeded! We had the pleasure of working with his second photographer Danielle, who was a great addition. I’m especially thankful for the quiet moment to myself that Paul captured... Looking in the mirror as I prayed for strength during what would’ve been the first look with my dad, I will always look at those images and remember the feeling of my father’s love surrounding me, bringing me to tears. Finding the right photographer within our budget wasn’t easy, until we met Paul. Thank you for providing exceptional service & images we’ll look back on for the rest of our lives!

my vision like it was his own. He took time to get to know me and my fiancé. He was invested in our love story and his photos were lovely. In preparation for the big day, we sat down with Paul to discuss the timeline and pictures we wanted. I had no idea what to expect and Paul helped us develop a timeline and sequence of events for the wedding day. I was so thankful for this discussion and it really put my mind at ease. Paul knew when everything should take place, roughly how long each section of the day should be, and kept everyone on schedule to the best of his ability on the day of (despite how difficult that was). On the day of the wedding, Paul was simply amazing. He was great during bridal prep and knew what to say, where to be, and how to deal with various situations. He made me feel relaxed among the normal chaos and gracefully guided my throughout the day and night. My guests also commented on Paul’s professionalism and photography style. No one felt like he was intrusive when taking pictures and loved that he wasn’t afraid to lay on the floor for the best angle. We were lucky in having beautiful fall foliage on our wedding day. Paul was not shy in having us take a longer pose to get the best shot, or come down to the pond area for more formals. He was great and trekked all around the venue grounds with us, which I'm sure was exhausting. When we finally sat down with Paul to look at our wedding pictures, it was no shock to me that they were stunning. We had the privilege of having his second photographer Becky and her pictures were just as beautiful and displayed great talent. We were very fortunate to have Paul and Becky photograph our wedding day. Thank you Paul for capturing everything so beautifully!

potential client Paul was quick to respond to my emails and set up a date to meet us very quickly! Our first meeting we left knowing this was the photographer we wanted. He was extremely professional and made sure he got to know us and what we wanted out of our wedding pictures. Throughout the planning process he was extremely helpful getting our day of schedule together and making sure we had time for everything we wanted! It was also a plus that when our wedding coordinator found out who we chose she had nothing but great things to say about him, as they had worked together frequently! The day of our wedding Paul was truly amazing, and I will say that our family, bridal party, and friends are not the easiest to work with. We tend to goof off and can get off track very easily but Paul made sure that we stayed on task and got everything we told him we wanted. He wasn't afraid to get on the floor or climb on a chair to get an amazing picture! By the time that we got home and started our mini after party I already had received an email from him with our sneak peaks! This was just hours after leaving our reception! These were amazing and held us over for a few weeks until he was finished! Now that we have received our pictures we couldn't be more happy with our decision and neither will you if you choose Paul! He captured our day exactly as we remember it and now have beautiful pictures to look back at and relive this day over and over!

mation and I received Paul’s as well. We ended up emailing and set up a meeting for my husband and I to meet with him at Starbucks. I can honestly say we met with one photographer and that was Paul. After meeting him we knew we wanted him to be our photographer right away.My husband and I are both very laid back and happy people, and we could see that Paul was very similar to us but also very professional at the same time. Fast forward to our engagement shoot. At that shoot I was so happy because he just has the best ideas, but is also very considerate of yours and will literally do anything to make sure your vision come to life. This man would literally be on the ground just to get a good angle! He also just made us feel so comfortable and made it all feel so natural so I knew if he can make me feel that way at our engagement shoot the wedding was going to be even better. The week of the wedding I was getting very stressed with all of the details and Paul was there for me every step of the way. He made us a detailed timeline and anytime he could see me stress the day of the wedding he would calm me down. One thing Paul did that I will always appreciate was tell me to look at myself in the mirror and to just take a second. He told me to forget about everything around me and to just remember why I was there. To remember how hard my husband and I worked to make it all possible. Then he had me close my eyes and take a deep breath. Although it sounds like such a small detail it really was what I needed and helped me so much! Bottom line Paul isn’t only a great person, but he is an amazing photographer who genuinely cares about his clients. He is affordable, professional and he is now my photographer for life! Thank you so much Paul, I not only look to you as our photographer but also our friend!

t Paul was beyond open minded and excited to be a part of our special day. His candid photo style is one of the things we appreciated the most; we got to enjoy our big day surrounded by so many people we love without having his camera right in our faces. Looking at all the moments he captured is insane and we will be able to reminisce for the rest of our lives. He was even able to calm my bride down when I was running a tad bit late to the venue (mind you, that's not the easiest thing to do lol). Many of our guests complimented on how great he was too, catching the perfect moments. He even edited some photos the night of the wedding for us to look through!! We got tons of edited photos neatly organized on a USB that were easily navigated and on top of that within a month of our wedding in a busy fall wedding season. Bottom line: He's quirky, sticks with his deadlines, and he will literally roll in the dirt to get the perfect shot for you!

d have a very prompt response. On top of that, we planned this all remotely from across the country! Paul took the time to get to know us a little bit before the wedding to ensure he was telling our story well. On the actual day, he was prompt, efficient, and respectful, and he never felt like an intrusive presence. He also wrote a lovely blog post about the wedding to document his photos. We loved working with him and hope more people get the chance to!

nd re-do it, Paul would be my fist vendor booked easily.  He's affordable, personable, fun, professional, and his passion for photography was the major part that sold my husband and I on booking him. We received our wedding photos last weekend, less than a month after our wedding - that was HUGE for any photographer, especially with the amount of weddings he had in between, but he understands that you want to re-live your day. We hired Paul for a full day, along with a second photographer (through Paul) which we were so happy we did because we got such amazing photos from her as well, but honestly with what we received on Paul’s end we really didn't even need to put another photographer on. I feel like usually comments are always based on food when you talk to guests after a wedding but Paul was certainly the talk from all our guests. "He was on the ground at one point" is what everyone commented on and let me tell you you can tell which photos he was on the ground for! The wedding party and our guests are a very rowdy group and Paul went with it so smoothly, with such ease and ideas to create all personalities in our photos. I really thought having a photographer with me all day would make me feel awkward and less natural but that was not the case whatsoever and I can say with confidence that's because of Paul. This is your big day and your vendors are the one who make it what it is, Paul is certainly one to make your day memorable during and after. I have looked at my photos every day since I've received them and I feel as if I'm living every single second over again - even parts I wasn't there for. Overall, I could not be happier to have went with Paul!

as it was to us. He captured THE most stunning photos around Fort Adams and we will be forever grateful to Paul to capturing our perfect day. He’s affordable and professional. Without hesitation, hire him!

picture together". Paul certainly changed our mindset with his artistic eye. We received 12 sneak peek photos at 12:30 the night of our wedding which exceeded our expectations. We look forward to seeing the rest of our photos and know that Paul was able to successfully capture our special day. We highly recommend Paul for any photography needs!!

rful! He does a great job at really capturing the action of the day. I can image our children and our grandchildren looking at these photos one day down the line.

with me with any of my concerns or crazy ideas. When I was looking for a photographer, I came across Paul on Facebook. I looked at his website, his photographs, his packages, and his blogs. I loved that he took candid photos too! His packages were no overly priced compared to other photographers out there. He also doesn’t charge for extra hours that he spends at a wedding. Once my husband and I met up with Paul, we ended up meshing really well and I knew I needed to hire him as my wedding photographer. He is always very accommodating and responds to emails and messages in a timely manner. He was very helpful to me since I’m very self conscious of my body and my angles. He also helped us to keep track of our day with the timing and basically everything. He ran around our venue and church in a million different spots and angles. He photographed on the floor or way up in the air on his tip toes. I think he photographed my husband and I standing on a well. He was literally everywhere! I honestly could not have asked for a better photographer and you need to consider Paul to photograph your wedding!!!

o get that perfect picture. When I later saw their pictures, I knew I had to have him as our photographer. Fast forward to 2018 when my fiancé proposed. We wasted no time in booking our date for the church, venue, photographer and DJ. Once we settled on a date with our church and venue, I had to reach out to Paul to book with him before someone else did for our day. Luckily, he was available that day and the planning started. He was great from beginning to end. We talked about which package we wanted and he was very clear in all that he offered. His prices are very reasonable for the amazing work that he does! We had our engagement session on a chilly Fall day, and despite the cold weather, we had amazing pictures!! Going into the Engagement session, we thought it would be awkward having the pictures taken of us, but it was anything but that. Paul made us feel so comfortable and worked with us, even when I wanted to take a picture in the middle of a street, he was patient with us waiting for cars to clear so we can run out and snap a picture, only for us to go back and have to wait for cars to clear to try again. He did not disappoint. He kept in touch from that point, until the wedding when we met one last time a few days before the big day. He went over everything from our package to how the whole day was going to plan out and our “Plan B” for our formal pictures if it was too busy at the first place. That made us feel a little more at ease about the day. On our wedding day, he arrived at my parent’s house where we were all getting ready and I am so glad it was a lot more relaxed than I was anticipating. We had a lot of extra time in the day so we were able to take pictures at the house with myself, my bridesmaids and parents. After the church, we made a stop to Roger Williams Park for pictures of my husband and they were perfect. A little later at our venue is where we were taking all of our formal pictures with the family and bridal party. He did just a great job keeping everyone on track and getting everything he needed to get to within good time because we wanted to join in on cocktail hour, and he made it happen! The night went by so fast after that- we didn’t really get a chance to see the little details that took so long to plan and put together, like the centerpieces, favors and entrance tables. Paul made sure to capture every detail so we didn’t miss out and we have that forever. I enjoyed looking at the pictures of everyone dancing and having a good time because those things you don’t notice in the moment, so looking back having those memories captured perfectly in pictures is everything. Everything was PERFECT. We never felt rushed, never felt awkward. Paul was the best photographer we could’ve had and we are so glad we had him photograph one of the most important times of our lives. Book with Paul Spetrini, you will NOT be disappointed! 

derfully with them as well as my husbands family. I knew that Paul was the photographer for us, when he asked me to share my story and he shared his. In a day and time when service can sometimes feel non connected, I felt connected right from the very beginning at our meeting in Starbucks. Paul really took the time to listen and be thoughtful of my wishes as a bride to have a relaxed and easygoing day. I also wanted a photographer who could photograph a mixed raced couple. On the day of our wedding Paul was just where he needed to be and took the best care of us without being intrusive or overstepping bounds, but was willing and able if we needed him to, to especially get the photos we truly wanted. I have since had the opportunity to look at the pictures from our wedding and I can’t stop gushing and smiling. I loved them so much that I used one as the backdrop for our thank you cards. For anyone e who knows me I completely and totally avoid the camera and being in pictures, yet I share the photos from our wedding day freely. I have never felt so amazingly beautiful and Paul captured me in a way that I’m truly proud of. If you have the chance to work with Paul you will be lucky and glad you did.

very clear to me that Paul is very passionate about what he does. In my opinion, that is one of the most important things, because he truly cares and does everything he can to capture the perfect moments. He not only photographed all the big moments, but a lot of unexpected small moments as well, which I absolutely loved. He is very detail oriented, always setting up photos in a very appealing way, all those little things that one might not think about, that make for a stunning photo. Even our wedding guests commented on how awesome he was. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful and we couldn't be happier. So, to anyone looking for a great photographer, who will lay in the grass and take on any challenge to get the perfect shot, and not only do beautiful work, but at a reasonable price too, Paul is your guy!

phy to capture every moment of our special day. From our engagement photos, to the way he interacted with our friends and family on our wedding day, to the final results - which truly speak for themselves - he was an amazing photographer, and any couple would count themselves lucky to have him to record the most important moments of the most important day of their lives! Thank you, Paul!

where to be and when. The entire experience made my wife and I feel calm and comfortable as we navigated the most stressful of all days. This is an invaluable trait to have as a photographer, vendor, or professional. And then came the photos themselves! WOW is the only word to describe it. He and his partner Stacey did amazing work with our formal posed pictures - the standard benchmark for a wedding photographer. But, it was the work they did with the candids that makes hiring Paul Spetrini Photography a no brainer decision!! A wedding's tone and color can be described by the feelings and energy of all of the guests and he captured the ESSENCE of those feelings from every guest in attendance. I still don't know how he was in position to take some of the shots he got. Paul is an excellent writer as well. Part of your package includes a custom photo blog that details the entire day. Reading his words brought my wife and I to tears and we were brought right back to those moments. Isn't that the feeling you want when you look back on your memories from your special day?

the first sit down, we knew we were in great hands as he effortlessly went through the options we had from soup to nuts. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience as a wedding photographer and married man himself. He knew exactly how to manage the day while not only capturing our day from bridal prep to reception but keeping me on track with our timeline and making sure I ate! He blended so effortlessly into the background where he was never intrusive, but always attentive to every special moment that occurred. What we loved about Paul’s work was his ability to capture moments we weren’t even aware were occurring. Not only does he cover your standard bases; formal shots, ceremony, wedding detail shots such as the rings, desserts, bouquets, head pieces etc., he is a master at capturing candid’s. Our favorite photos from the day were the shots he somehow bent over backward [literally at times] to capture. His secondary photographer Stacy was also a delight and we knew every aspect of our day would be taken care of and we were NOT disappointed. The teasers he posts the night of are always on POINT and leave you salivating for the rest! Our friends and family were all blown away by his abilities and professionalism. Additionally, I feel it is important to note that not only was he a rock star on the day of our wedding, he presents a completed package to you after the day in an organized manner that completely blew us away. He has above standard turnaround with a presentation that far exceeded anything we anticipated. Our photos were given to us in such an organized manner and easy to find, and he reviews IN DEPTH, each aspect of the package you receive. I would recommend his services a hundred times over to anyone looking for a professional quality photographer with pricing you cannot beat. Paul, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being not only a professional through and through, but a great, new friend in the process!!

was where we wanted to be. Like all good brides to be I had been doing my research online, never really finding what I was looking for in a photographer, but realizing what I did not. That said, by chance we stopped by a bridal fair. After all, it had been at a girl scout camp ground - that was worth checking out for the family! There were many booths with lots to see, but much of what I was seeing was what I had seen online. I was drawn to a table with photos that I was truly impressed with. The photos had clarity, great angles of shots, and just absolutely everything I was looking for!! As I started to look through the photo books available I realized that I had separated from my family. Within moments I discovered that my family was chatting with Paul, and he was the owner of these amazing photos. I joined my family for a group conversation with Paul, and not only were his photo’s exactly what I was looking for, but so was his personal style. He was inviting, approachable, and knowledgeable. Everything that matched the intimate wedding that we had in mind. Working along with Paul made our special day organized, he was professional and helped us fill in the gaps on what to do next. He had lots of great ideas and welcomed all of ours as well. I always felt like I could run anything by Paul, from ideas for photos to locations of shots. I felt that he truly had our best interest in mind, and wanted us to have the best experience possible. During the ceremony, no one noticed him, yet the images he created and captured reflected every moment with perfect clarity. Paul integrated seamlessly during the reception, and all of our guests commented on his wonderful accommodating demeanor. We have had so many wonderful comments on our photos. Paul is truly talented as he brings his enthusiasm to life his work. We were so very happy to have him join us in capturing our special day. Cheers- Kim & Dave

knew that we had to meet. Hiring Paul to photograph our wedding was hands down the best and easiest decision we made. My husband and I were worried we would look awkward in our engagement photos but Paul made the whole experience so relaxing! From us munching on pizza in between shots, to him making us laugh at shirtless people jogging behind us as we set up for a photo, Paul was the best! When the big day finally came Paul again helped me keep calm. He was there right on time and was none stop until the end of the night. Throughout the whole night Paul kept us informed on the time and kept updating us with what we still had to do. He played a big part in the night running as smooth as it did. After everything was said and done we received our photos much sooner than we thought we would have! He gave us just over 2100 photos of our day from start to finish! We absolutely loved going through each and every one of them, and reliving the night! The time and effort Paul put into our day and editing our photos is clearly shown through his work! Even though our day has come and gone, we’re still in contact with Paul as we are having an album made. We can’t thank him enough for the amazing job he did with our photos, and I know our album is going to come out just as beautiful! If you are looking for a down to earth, reasonable, and overall awesome photographer, then look no further because Paul is your guy! Thank you, Paul for the amazing job you did capturing our special day! We are forever grateful! The Farrells

was the best decision. During our initial meeting we could tell Paul was a gifted photographer. His portfolio was filled with beautiful pictures and his style was creative. We knew we wanted him to be our photographer right away but we were working with a very tight budget. Paul was kind as he talked through it with us and made a package that fit our needs at a price we could afford. Prior to our wedding day he spent time going over our plan for the big day and wanted to know what was most important to us, making sure we could get the most out of our limited time together. On our wedding day, Paul continued to impress us. He dealt with cold winds as we did our formal pictures by the water in mid-December. He laid on the cold, wet ground to get a beautiful shot of us. Not only was he a great photographer, he was a lovely person. Paul was gracious when working around a family member who continuously stood in the way with a cellphone and took pictures of guests, both candid and posed if they requested. My favorite set were all the great angles and shots of the first and parent dances that are already hanging on my wall. After the big day, Paul had our pictures back to us within the time frame we had discussed. We met and he gave us a look at the beautiful work he had done and gave us an opportunity to make any special editing requests or ask any questions we may have. From start to finish, Paul was a great person to work with. Although we had limited time, he produced a set of pictures that felt as if he had been at our wedding the whole night through. I do recommend booking him for as much as time as fits your budget, I can only imagine what beautiful shots of prep time and dancing he would’ve gotten had we had him around for longer.

hy!” I have to admit I had my doubts. Before he had mentioned him, I had been looking into photographers and had found some with great reviews and Paul wasn’t even on my radar- then I saw the $4,000 price tag of those other photographers and said uh, no. I hadn’t researched Paul at all and hadn’t really looked at any of his photos or reviews before we met with him the first time. I was BLOWN AWAY with his work and wanted to sign the contract on the spot! He told us to think about it and look at the website etc. first and he didn’t just want us to go with him because he was a friend of Rich’s. Paul made us feel incredibly comfortable during the engagement photo shoot and was so flexible and was totally fine with moving the weekend so many times! We kept trying to hold out for snow to have engagement photos in the snow, and we were finally able to get at least some snow in the photos. Rich and I are an outdoorsy couple who love to hike, and Paul was such a trooper and let us drag him all over World’s End State Park in Hingham, MA in 30 degree weather. Come wedding day at the end of October, it was cold, drizzly and muddy. Our photos are AMAZING and Paul went above and beyond when he let me drag him, the groom and two bridesmaids to a swing that I HAD to swing on. He got down on the cold, muddy ground and had Rich push me in the swing towards him at the danger of him getting kicked in the face to get the perfect shot. During the reception, I was worried about how dark it was and Paul told me at the end that it was one of the darkest wedding receptions he’d ever shot but he was still able to make it work and again, the photos came out AMAZING. I could go on and on about the whole day, Paul was spectacular. He made everyone feel incredibly comfortable, and the photos turned out spectacular. I would recommend him to anyone and do anytime anyone asks. Thank you so much Paul! Mr. and Mrs. DelBonis ❤️

as the website aesthetically pleasing, it gave the exact info we were looking for without setting up a meeting first (as many other photographers require you to do). Paul has his pricing, packages, and availability all easily accessible. As if the website design (and beautiful photos) weren’t enough, we were entirely reassured when we read his bio being an award-winning photographer employed by a couple local newspapers. This gave us the final legitimacy that Paul was no amateur. We reached out to Paul and he responded almost immediately with dates and times we could meet. Paul is incredibly down to earth and friendly. We already knew his work was good from his website, but his presentation was flawless, and we left knowing that this was the photographer for us. We booked Paul and soon enough had our engagement photo session with him at Roger Williams Park. A photoshoot can be an extremely awkward and uncomfortable experience (especially in public!). However, Paul was able to calm us down right away and our fun and excitement clearly shone through to the beautiful pictures that were taken. Despite a hot day, we had a blast! Though the engagement session was amazing, everyone knows it’s the wedding day when you have to step your game up and Paul hit a grand slam! Prior to the wedding, there was an untimely injury at the bachelor party, that had the soon to be groom in a cane and knee brace. Paul adapted seamlessly to this late bombshell! With Paul’s guidance, we were able to adjust the timeline and photoshoot locations to more easily accommodate the injury. Paul (along with his second shooter Stacy) both hustled all day long and their energy level never wavered. They both made sure that the cane was out of every picture that was taken. Paul and Stacy were very creative with their setups and ideas, but also took plenty of candids that revealed the fun and party atmosphere that we all enjoyed! Needless to say, we were speechless when Paul met with us to go through the edited photos and his personal favorites in the “Highlights” folder. We relived the wedding all over again. From the silly wedding party entrances and heartfelt first dances to the electric and crazy dance floor, it was a night we won’t soon forget thanks to Paul. Paul Spetrini strikes the perfect balance between professionalism and comfortability. We highly recommend Paul to photograph your wedding experience! Sarah & Anthony Desmarais

y talented photographer. You can tell by chatting with him during your first meeting that he has such a passion for wedding photography. But, what you don't know yet is that he is so much more than just your photographer.. Paul was the best wing man I could have asked for on my wedding day. I was at ease knowing that Paul took charge in preserving my sanity. He is a true professional. I am so excited to see the moments that Paul & Stacy captured based on the sample photos he sent us during the wee hours of the morning (after a 10 hour day of shooting). You're a rock star Paul, thank you for being the Goose to my Maverick! Update: We just received our photos yesterday, which Paul hand delivered to us and gave us a brief overview of his editing and organization process. Another attribute to how much he cares and how passionate he is about his photography. They were everything I could’ve imagined and more. So many candid moments that we missed as we were busy being a bride and groom. Thank you again, Paul we couldn’t be happier!

rstand our personalities, so by the time we had our engagement shoot with him, we were comfortable together and we knew how to communicate with each other. The session was full of genuine smiles and laughter as Paul captured us naturally, happily including our dog in photos as well as our parents (who had come along as puppy wranglers). When we got our images back, we were blown away by the quality and by how well they demonstrated our personalities. In the time leading up to the wedding, Paul was always available to answer any questions we had and helped us plan and create timelines for both our ceremony (in FL) and our reception (in MA). Paul's laid back personality helped calm my anxiety, especially the day of the ceremony when I was just a mess of emotions. At our reception back home a couple weeks later, Paul was joined by his associate photographer, Stacey. We had a lot of moving parts that day and we wanted to make sure we got it all covered. From a Zumba flash mob, to my husband getting kidnapped by Darth Vader, to laser tag, the whole day was organized chaos. Paul and Stacey exceeded all expectations, working beautifully with our day-of coordinator to ensure we stayed on time and making sure everyone was where they needed to be, when they needed to be there. Our families adored both of them, and it was noted that they seemed to be enjoying the day as much as we were. We had left a couple of camcorders out for guests to use, and at times I saw Paul with his camera in one hand and a camcorder in the other…we later found out that he had been "interviewing" guests and creating a sort of virtual guest book for us since a lot of people had overlooked signing our actual guest book. This sort of above-and-beyond thinking is standard of Paul. He does everything in his power to make his sure his couples are happy and have a perfect experience on their special day. At the very end of the day when everything was winding down, Paul took me and my husband aside, told us about his impromptu undertaking, and asked us to say a few words as well, both to our guests as a thank you and to each other, for our future selves. We were so touched by the gesture that even my husband got teary-eyed, and he's not a crier. We got our photos back about a month after our reception, and it was almost as fun to relive the events as it was to experience them firsthand. Paul's dedication to telling a story through his photos is evident and even a complete stranger looking at our photos would have felt immersed in the day. There were photos so beautiful we didn't recognize ourselves; photos that perfectly showcased our personalities; photos bursting with the love and emotion of us and our families; and photos so crazy that we belly-laughed out loud. Paul's rates are extraordinarily reasonable and his packages are fully customizable, so you can get the gorgeous photos you want without breaking your budget. We wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone who is looking for a wedding photographer (or a badass karaoke singer, but that's another review!). He is a genuine person with a heart of gold and an offbeat sense of humor that will win you over in a second. I'm telling you; contact Paul now…you will be glad you did!

relief. We had many reservations about professional photos because we had already done an engagement session elsewhere, which was a bit of a nightmare. The photos were overly posed, the use of props was egregious, and the final images left a lot to be desired. Paul took the time to get to know us and understand our personalities, so by the time we had our engagement shoot with him, we were comfortable together and we knew how to communicate with each other. The session was full of genuine smiles and laughter as Paul captured us naturally, happily including our dog in photos as well as our parents (who had come along as puppy wranglers). When we got our images back, we were blown away by the quality and by how well they demonstrated our personalities. We eagerly anticipated our wedding, which Paul would be attending with us in Florida. Yes, we love him so much that we flew him to FL for a couple days so he could shoot our ceremony. It was worth every penny and there is no one else we could have imagined having by our sides on our special day. In the time leading up to the wedding, Paul was always available to answer any questions we had and helped us plan and create timelines for both our ceremony (in FL) and our reception (in MA). Paul's laid back personality helped calm my anxiety, especially the day of the ceremony when I was just a mess of emotions. At our ceremony Paul was everywhere…he did not miss a single shot. We didn't have a lot of requests, choosing instead to trust his eye and believe me, we made the right decision. He worked seamlessly with our videographer to ensure they both got the best coverage of the day and was nothing but enthusiastic as we dragged him halfway around Disney in 90 degree heat for our formals. We got our photos back about a month after our reception, and it was almost as fun to relive the events as it was to experience them firsthand. Paul's dedication to telling a story through his photos is evident and even a complete stranger looking at our photos would have felt immersed in the day. There were photos so beautiful we didn't recognize ourselves; photos that perfectly showcased our personalities; photos bursting with the love and emotion of us and our families; and photos so crazy that we belly-laughed out loud.

ations. Leading up to our day I never waited more than 5 minutes for a response back from Paul which was the best peace of mind. On the day of my wedding, not only my husband and I were impressed with his professionalism and ability to manage all the bridal party, but even my guests mentioned how on point he was. The night of my wedding we received beautiful sneak peeks. His work is flawless and exactly the quality that was represented in his portfolio. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend him to a family or friend!

ord. Overall, Paul was organized, professional, thoughtful, creative, patient, and timely. Taking time to get to know us, our personalities, and our likes/dislikes; and uses that to create gorgeous photographs. Paul was responsive, prompt, flexible, and thorough. We first met Paul during our engagement shoot, where he drove well over an hour to meet us in the Charlestown section of Boston, a section of town in which he hadn’t shot. He took just the right amount of time to instruct us about positioning and angling our stances. Our photos came out awesome; and he posted an incredible blog about our engagement session - which clearly reflected that he took a lot of time to organize and write. Our next experience with Paul was during bride and groom prep, around 10 AM on our wedding day. My husband getting ready at a men’s spa/barber and myself at the Biltmore Hotel. We chose the photography package with the second photographer and longer hours because we wanted to have the prep in our photos. Paul took some great photos of the guys and then went over to the hotel; where he again took some more gorgeous photos. He chose very effective locations in and around the hotel. Next, the church. Paul and his assisting photographer split up and took photos from several angles and vantage points. They were very creative and forward-thinking with their placement and viewpoint. We felt as though everything from the ceremony was captured. We had a surprise appearance, by boat for our reception and these were some of our favorites (he even helped to dock the boat!). Our venue was waterfront, and the winds were blustery; many of us were getting antsy to get inside, not to mention hangry. Paul shined and excelled at this time as he wrangled all of the parties and managed the personalities professionally. From the entrances, to the first dance, prayer, and cake cutting, all the photos came out awesome. Even taking time to intermittently photograph us with anyone we wanted in a side area of the reception space which allowed us to get some solid shots of friends and family who weren’t in the wedding party. Lastly, the partying. Wow, Paul absolutely killed it! He literally was on his back taking photos, and he got some priceless shots! We then asked Paul to stay an extra hour (probably his twelfth straight hour in a row). That was definitely worth it and we recommend adding on extra time for these photos; his candid and action shots were remarkable. Our wedding day felt like it went so fast, but Paul was able to document and preserve so much of it for us. It took Paul about 6 weeks to send us our photos. Paul didn’t just send us the photos, he went above and beyond and met with us in-person for over an hour to share the information about the photos (flash drive and back up DVDs). He really does pay attention to the small things. We don’t have Shutterfly album yet as we are still working on layout and photo choices, but based on the PDF, it will come out great. Again, Paul created a thoughtful blog so that we could easily share it on social media. His writing style and the chronology of the photo choices told a beautiful story. Reading his blog felt like opening a present and we were proud to share it.

h other, great food, good music and lots of fun. For me it was even more important to have a qualified individual capture all of this- from those moments where you can find us alone smiling at each other, the random smiles that would cross our guests face, or even the crazy group shots that included my husband piggyback on one of our groomsmen- all were equally important. We only had a few hours of the night to experience but so much happens during that time and we needed someone that we could trust who would be able to retell our story for us. We found that in Paul. We found Paul by chance through Facebook and we are glad that we did. Even at our first meeting he made us feel important and gave us plenty of options a
