From our first phone call I knew Reena was the best photographer for my wedding! She immediately made me feel at ease and comfortable which was my number one priority. Reena and he...
r husband Max managed to be everywhere and capture all the little moments while being extremely unobtrusive to us and our guests. We just got our pictures back and they are AMAZING! I couldn't recommend her more!
In full disclosure I will start with noting that I had the pleasure of working with Reena many years ago. I've worked with a number of photographers in my former career as a journa...
list, but I knew when I got engaged that I wanted Reena to shoot our wedding. Not only does she take beautiful portraits, she captures incredible candid moments — some I didn't even remember until I saw her amazing photos after the wedding. Several people have remarked that Reena and her husband Max were able to capture our personalities in their images. I couldn't be happier with our photos and have recommended her to numerous people. You can't go wrong with Reena Rose Photography!
Reena Rose is absolutely incredible!! She was wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning process and she kept me calm leading up the big day AND on the big day itself.....
...not to mention, I have already gotten a million comments regarding how beautiful the sneak peek photos are. Throughout the wedding, I barley even knew she was there, as she let me enjoy the day, while also making sure to capture each moment!! I would highly recommend her to any bride-to-be!!! THANKS REENA!!!
Reena was the first phone call I made when planning my wedding. She had done my brother's wedding five years ago, and I remembered how great she was on that day. If possible, she...
was even better than she was for them. She worked so well with us, and made us feel really at ease when taking our photos. She and her husband were like ninjas during our ceremony, you never felt like you were getting your photo taken. We were so happy with the quality of our engagement photos and weddings photos, we would recommend them to everyone we know!
Reena was the perfect photographer for us! She's a real working photojournalist who's won awards, and an extremely sweet and fun person too. She has a great eye, and she and her hu...
sband Max managed to be everywhere at once and yet totally unobtrusive. We wanted nothing gimmicky, and we didn't want to divert any of our time with guests into worrying about the pictures. Reena understood us perfectly - she followed us around and got a zillion great candid shots and spontaneous poses with our family and friends and the art. She made us look beautiful and she caught our happiness.
Our wedding was in the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark, NJ, with the reception in the Newark Museum. We did our engagement shoot in Branch Brook Park in cherry blossom season - on an unseasonably chilly afternoon after work - Reena knew all the best spots in the park, and it turned out magical. Weather and traffic kept us from taking our posed wedding pictures there - but Reena quickly came up with the perfect solution: you'd never guess that the lush green background in our photos is just the front landscaping of the museum!
Her pricing is extremely reasonable and she delivered on time. We got all 200+ engagement pictures and 1200+ wedding pictures in high-resolution electronic format, plus an online site where guests can browse pictures and purchase prints. (We're making our own album.) We chose Reena based on her work we saw online, and because she'd shot in the Cathedral before.
We asked Reena to take lots of pictures of all our guests. And did she ever! We have so many great shots of our cousins and friends, which we've shared with them to their great delight. But little did we realize that my beloved godfather (who was in the wedding) would pass away the week we received our photos from Reena. We were able to pull together a memory book quickly for the family, and one of Reena's photos actually became the thank-you card for mourners.
Pictures are a huge part of my life; so, naturally having the right photographer for my wedding was very important to me. We could not be happier with having Reena Rose as our phot...
ographer! We hired her after she was recommended by my now brother-in-law who had previously worked with her at the Jersey Journal. We wanted natural candid shots that captured the emotion instead of those staged artsy shots, and Reena was the perfect fit!
We first met Reena at our engagement shoot, and it was like we were seeing someone in our family! She is professional, fun, and dedicated. She really listened to what I wanted and worked hard to get the perfect shot. I was very satisfied with our engagement pictures, and we received many compliments! I knew having her for our wedding would be a success.
As expected, Reena and her husband Max did an awesome job on the day of our wedding! They worked with us and our wedding planners before the day so they knew what we were looking for and what shots we needed to take. Everyone in my bridal party was impressed with how professional and down-to-earth Reena and Max were. They were very friendly and cordial. They made the day fun! We took some really great shots on a school bus and in a museum exhibit with our large bridal party, and they did an awesome job of keeping everyone focused!
I have shared some of the many wedding pictures Reena took, and I have received so many compliments so far. Lots of likes and comments on my social media pages! Direct quotes from my friends include: “Your photographer nailed it.” and “I am so in love with all of your wedding pictures!” I could not be more ecstatic about or more satisfied with the pictures.
I would definitely recommend Reena Rose Photography (and already have!) to be your photographer for any event. Not only is Reena a great person to work with, she provides quality service at a good value. I can’t thank Reena enough for her work. She was able to perfectly document the most perfect day of our lives!
My husband and I felt so fortunate that we had Reena and her husband photograph our wedding this past summer. We were planning our New Jersey wedding from Las Vegas and so had only...
one opportunity to meet in person before the wedding day. Reena made the entire planning process so seamless. On the day of the wedding, she did an excellent job of capturing all of the photos that we wanted and her positive energy helped keep us all calm on the day of the wedding. We were so happy with all of the photos we received from the wedding day and would highly recommend Reena Rose Photography to any couple planning their wedding!
Reena and her husband Max did photography for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with her communication and her style. She maintained great and positive communication througho...
ut the entire process and we received our photos in very good time after the big day. Reena and Max were excellent photographers and many of my guests commented on that as well. In fact, several of her photos have been used as the cover photo for our venue's Facebook page! (Mayfair Farms).
I highly recommend Reena!
We had a US Reception on a yacht under the NYC Fireworks. I organized everything from Australia but Reena was just great. She was there early and on time on the day of the receptio...
n, we had planned everything out and she took more than 700 photos! She took all the shots i wanted and put together an amazing alligator skin photo album that is massive and gorgeous. We paid for quality and that is exactly what we got.
Reena was one of the first vendors we booked after getting engaged, because as soon as I found her, I knew we had to have her for our wedding day! She did our engagement photos nea...
rly a year and a half ago, and we still continue to get compliments on how beautiful they are. Reena has such a fun, upbeat, friendly personality, and at the same time is a true professional and just incredibly talented. It was truly our pleasure to have her and her husband/second photographer Max be a part of our wedding day. They have a way of just fitting right in and putting you at ease. Since our wedding was only a week and a half ago, we have only had the chance to see about 10-15 "sneak peek" photos so far, but we are thrilled with those and can't wait to see the rest! For some of the shots we've seen already, I didn't even realize she was there taking a photo at the time! She manages to be completely unobtrusive while at the same time getting fantastic shots. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about her, highly recommend!!!
Reena Rose was awesome!! Allison and I loved Reena’s work, her work ethic, her creativity and adjustments she made while setting up family and portrait photos. She is a true profe...
ssional. Reena sat down with us for a few hours before the wedding to discuss what kinds of pictures we would like at our wedding. She was prompt in responding to phone calls and e-mails. We have gotten all kinds of compliments on our photos and compliments on how she conducted herself at our wedding and did not get in the way of things. I have also seen her in action working as a photo journalist at press conferences and news events. I would recommend her to capture pictures at any event.
Scott and Allison
We were highly pleased with the photography services we received from Reena. She helped us with planning and then did a great job on the day of our wedding. We received many compli...
ments on the quality of our photos. Reena also delivered on several very high quality photo albums that we had pre-negotiated in our package. We highly recommend Reena for wedding photography.
Reena and her husband did an outstanding job photographing our wedding. After seeing the pictures from my brothers wedding, I knew that I also wanted her to take my photos. Reena...
and her husband were extremely reliable, personable, professional, and kind. She quickly responded to any emails or questions that I had throughout the process and had great attention to detail. She came early and took numerous different types of shots of my family, wedding party, reception, etc. Reena was very patient in dealing with my HUGE wedding dress and helped make it look absolutely breathtaking in every photo that was taken. It was extremely hot and humid and she continued snapping away with a smile on her face regardless of the heat. Additionally, we had two photographers for the whole day at a reasonable price. I would recommend Reena to anyone looking for a photographer and will be sure to tell all my newly engaged friends that she is the best!
Reena was an absolute delight to work with! The most important thing to my wife and I was a non-evasive photographer. We didn't want someone stopping us every few moments asking us...
to pose for the perfect picture. Not only did Reena not do that, but she also managed to snap the perfect shot even without us having to pose for it. Her smile and personailty are infectious and she truly made the day fun for us. If possible, we would like to pack Reena away in our luggage on all our future vacations so she can take all of our photos for us. I highly recommend her for your wedding!
We know we wanted a photo-journalistic look to our photos because we had been in some weddings with the cheesiest of posed photos. Reena and her husband Max were both fantastic. Th...
ey caught moments other photographers would have glossed over. Reena always has a smile but once it was go-time for photos she was focused and intense - and she snapped away. The fact that she caught special moments was particularly important to us since we didn't have a videographer. My husband is camera shy and Reena made him feel very comfortable.
We also got our photo CDs well within three weeks of our wedding.
Reena and Max were wonderful - I would recommend them to anyone. I will treasure these photos forever.
Reena and her husband Max were absolutely amazing! We were looking for a photographer with a unique photo-journalistic style and personality - one that could make the day seem real...
(and not posed). The day went by so quickly but they were able to capture all the best moments. Every picture was stunning, we can't stop smiling and looking through them. Reena was professional, friendly and helpful throughout my time with her - from the engagement session to the actual wedding day we had nothing but great experiences :). I would highly recommend her to anyone - you can trust her completely with your day! Thanks Reena!
Reena of course! As a fellow wedding photographer, I naturally contemplated hiring myself to shoot my own wedding, but then I realized that probably wouldn't work out so well, and ...
the bride wasn't so pleased with the idea either. So I turned to my incredibly talented friend and former colleague, Reena, to shoot my wedding. She did not disappoint! She truly delivered stunning images that really captured the moments of the day, and the best part is I didn't have to worry once that something was being missed because I know and trust her skills! Reena of course is prompt, professional and goes the extra mile to get those perfect images you expect from your wedding photographer. She captured all of the details at the wedding, too, which was very important to the bride.
I cannot begin to say how happy we are with photographs Reena took for us at our wedding. From our first meeting where we talked about what we would like, to other conversations th...
e weeks before, to the day off, when she documented everything with such thoroughness, that in looking at the pictures of the Reception I can basically remember the song that was playing at the moment of most pictures(!) Reena put us at ease and guided us through the process perfectly.
Reena gave us a few photos within a few days which let us satiate my parents needs for instant photos and then set up a website for guests, and emailed out our DVD within 2 weeks.
What for me was particularly wonderful about Reena's work, was her ability to capture my family and friends in tender and candid moments. Those moments when it is clear they are having a great time and enjoying each other are what I know will mean the most to me. In addition, it is something of a miracle that my father was both able to walk me down the aisle, and have a father daughter dance (and was not with a cane or in a wheelchair due to illness). That fact that not one in the literally hundreds of staged and candid photographs Reena showed us contain a photo of him wincing in pain, or does it appear like he's limping but he always appears smiling, laughing and even dancing is something I will always cherish, in addition, to the number of candid tender moments she caught between me and my husband.
I can't even begin to say how happy my husband and I are with our wedding photographs! They are better than we could have ever imagined! After we received them(on time as promised)...
, we kept looking at them over and over and every time we had a new favorite. Reena is so extremely talented and fantastic to work with. She worked with us leading up to the day to make sure she understood what we wanted, and that was so important to us. Reena and her husband are such a wonderful team--it's so clear in the pictures that they really worked together to capture such special moments on our day--from all different angles and focused on different peoples' expressions! We had several guests comment on how professional, friendly, talented, and completely un-obtrusive they were the entire time. We were amazed at their ability to capture fantastic memories as we didn't even notice their presence for most of the shots! Reena's ideas, angles, and verbal direction were so unique and creative. She can really capture the excitement of the day, all the way down to the little details that made our wedding unique.
Reena was absolutely fantastic! She has an amazing, up-beat personality and was fabulous to work with before, during, and after the wedding! She showed up early, really worked the ...
space (I have no idea how she flitted around the room so quickly!), and went above and beyond the call of duty. She’s original, and comes up with great ideas for conceptual pictures, too! And the pictures were gorgeous! I really can’t say enough good things about her – I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. To this day, any time we show anyone our wedding pictures, we get rave reviews - and some of our friends and family have experience with photography themselves!
I would absolutely, without any hesitation, recommend the immense talent that is Reena Rose!! I'm not sure there are enough positive words or phrases in the English language to pro...
perly convey Reena's ability and personality! She is incredibly talented behind the camera lens and she is also a delightful person to work and communicate with, especially during a stressful time like a wedding!! I can't tell you how many times my new wife and I have gone over our pictures and have laughed, cried (all good tears) and felt like we were re-living that amazing night all over again. That is how powerfully talented Reena Rose is when she is in her zone and she doesn't leave that zone until the last possible moment. Capturing moments that will bring us a lifetime of smiles and stories!! People, if Reena Rose is on your list of potential wedding photographers do yourself a huge favor and contact her!! You will not be disappointed, in fact you will be as speechless as we were upon seeing the results and you'll have also gained a wonderful person as a friend!!
I have to give Reena a lot of credit and a very special review. I had an outdoor ceremony in a sculpture garden, which didn't allow tents. It was a beautiful day, but unfortunately...
, just as my ceremony began the skies opened up and a bad little storm blew in, which lasted exactly as long as the ceremony. Needless to say I was absolutely devastated. The ceremony was at a breathtaking location and so much planning went into the day and it poured. My husband and I were pretty bummed the first day or two of our honeymoon until Reena started emailing us a few special pictures. Despite it all, our pictures were as beautiful as we imagined the day would be. Now that I am home I can't stop looking at them. All of the bad feelings about the rain have been completely over taken by the awesomeness of our pictures. They really wound up looking like photos you would see in a magazine. I am so happy to have them as the memory of our day, instead of the horrible rain storm I have in my head.
I am an Art/ Art History person and aesthetics are very important to me. I was unbelievably pleased with the artisticness of our pictures and the interesting perspective from which the pictures were taken. I was very concerned about having a good photographer that didn’t take glamour shot type, cheesy wedding pictures & I was right on with Reena. I have so many favorites I can’t choose which to put in frames.
One of the things I really liked best about Reena was that right after the ceremony, we were so flustered by the rain, no one was into the family portraits. Reena powered us through them and they turned out beautiful. I am not a portrait person at all and was shocked to see our bridal party portraits! By the time the portraits started, it was again sunny and beautiful out. We took portraits all over the sculpture garden and Reena was amazing at capturing the beauty of the garden and integrating it into our portraits.
Reena is very versatile and when the reception started, totally switched gears and went into photojournalistic mode, which was exactly what I was looking for. From beginning to end Reena did exactly what I was looking for! Artistic in the sculpture garden, photojournalistic at the reception. It was just perfect! I should also add that Reena as a person is incredibly sweet and friendly. She was a pleasure to have around and that is important in itself. I’ve heard horror stories about brides hating their photographer and it ruining the day (because you are with them all day).
I would highly recommend Reena to any bride. I wish I could post some examples with this review.
PS- My wedding venue liked my pictures so much they asked me to send them a disk, so they can frame one.
She is the sweetest person! She has a wonderful personality and is very easy to work with. Not only that but she also comes prepared for any situation that lighting may throw at h...
er. She took beautiful photos throughout the afternoon and evening.. and her turn around is lightning fast! Not only that but she takes the time to put together proof books (photo albums) of 4x6 prints in addition to giving you a CD of each color and Black & white for you to keep. She was loved by all and she got some really great candids! i'd give her a AAA+++ rating!;Reena does not do enlargements or photobooks but she will post pics online for you to purchase independently (password protected/limited access).
