The Shotwell Team is truly the best of the best! From our first meeting with Rosana to the final nighttime photo in front of the Christmas lights, the entire experience was absolutely incredible. We booked photography, videography, and a photo booth with Shotwell, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision. Rosana was the MVP of the day—we literally couldn’t have done it without her! Our family and friends are still raving about how wonderful she was. Tom did a fantastic job with the videography, capturing every special moment, and Bobby was so personable at the photo booth, making everyone feel at ease. We absolutely adore the Shotwell Team and can’t recommend them enough!
Friendly and awesome people! Everyone I was in contact with at Shotwell was incredible. I knew I made the right decision in choosing them to be my photographer when I had an introductory phone call with them and we were laughing and joking around. I wanted to make sure our photographer was fun and not a drill sergeant.
Our photographer Bobby was awesome! He was so friendly with me and my bridesmaids and my husband and groomsmen loved their photographer, Bobby too. (Yes we had two photographers named Bobby.) We loved the creativity and fun they had shooting us in addition to the typical wedding couple photos. The photos came out incredible and we couldn’t be happier with his work!
We were the third couple in the family to book Shotwell for our wedding so we knew we would be in good hands, and they did not disappoint! We had Frank and Anthony for photography and Jose for videography. They were so great to work with all day and everything turned out amazing! We also booked our photo booth through Shotwell and Liz helped keep our guests entertained all night. Rob, Rosana, and Kaye were pleasures to work with through our whole wedding planning process!
Rosana and Rob were absolutely amazing to work with! Both my wife and I are not comfortable in front of a camera, but they went out of their way to make sure that we got the necessary pictures and felt comfortable at the same time! They made us laugh, and even all our our bridesmaids keep talking about how easy they were to talk to and get along with!
Rosana went above and beyond for both of us throughout the day, she helped get us in and out of our dresses, made sure that we were good and really acted like a day of coordinator on top of taking the most breath taking pictures!
I cannot thank Rosana and Rob enough for everything they did for us!
We cannot recommend Shotwell enough for anyone looking for photo and video of their wedding. Their entire team was incredible and consistently went above and beyond both before and during the big day. Not only were the photos excellent and we received a ton of compliments on them, but everyone was very personable and always made us feel at ease. Please consider hiring Shotwell for your wedding.
The whole Shotwell team were so easy to work with! The communication from everyone was out of this world!
Kaye was super responsive to any and all of my questions, it felt like she responded as soon as I hit send! Anne crushed our engagement shoot on one of the hottest days in July, which only made us more excited for our wedding day. On our wedding day Anne, Rosana and Jose were the ring leaders of our crazy bridal party, they had everyone in the correct spots, followed my very detailed shot list and made sure we were relaxed and stress free. They made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. The pictures came out better then we could every imagine, we can not pick a favorite!
10000% would recommend Shotwell to everyone!
My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Shotwell Productions for our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with the exceptional service and breathtaking video they created for us. From the moment we signed the contract, it was clear that we had made the right choice.
The professionalism and attentiveness of the entire team at Shotwell Productions was outstanding. They went above and beyond to ensure that we felt special throughout the entire process. We were thrilled when they surprised us with a delightful wedding gift in our wedding colors after signing the contract. It was such a thoughtful gesture that made us even more excited to work with them.
Our videographer, Jose, was an absolute gem. From the first meeting, he made us feel comfortable and at ease. On the day of the wedding, he seamlessly blended into the background, capturing every precious moment without making us feel like we were being watched. But Jose did more than just document the day; he went above and beyond his duties. He even lent a helping hand to my husband in the morning, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. We couldn't have asked for a more attentive and supportive videographer.
Once the footage was handed over to Rob, we were blown away by the result. His editing skills were impeccable, and he truly captured the essence of our love story. When we requested a few edits to the video, Rob was extremely prompt in accommodating our requests. He never made us feel like a bother and handled our changes with grace and professionalism.
Working with Shotwell Productions was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. They made the entire process smooth and stress-free, allowing us to focus on enjoying our special day. The team's professionalism, creativity, and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident throughout, and we cannot recommend them enough to other couples searching for exceptional wedding videography.
To all the couples looking for a videography company that will capture the essence of your wedding day beautifully and provide an unforgettable experience, look no further than Shotwell Productions. Their professionalism, talent, and remarkable service will leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime. We can't recommend them enough!
Thank you, Shotwell Productions, for immortalizing our special day and delivering a wedding video beyond our wildest dreams. You truly captured the magic and emotion of our celebration!
My husband and I hired Shotwell for our wedding and engagement shoot. They have fantastic packages that give you a lot of extras for what you are paying for including engagement shoot, photo albums etc. Rosana was our head photographer and she was fantastic. Not only are her photos outstanding but she has the best personality. She made my husband and our wedding party so comfortable and relaxed and you could tell in the photos. Could not recommend them highly enough!
If you’re getting married do yourself a favor, and hire Shotwell. They are so professional and it shows that they know what they’re doing! Rosana, Bobby & Pil were the absolute BEST. I cannot thank them enough. My photos came out stunning.
Our best vendor ever! Rob was our videographer and Rosanna was our photographer and the two together were incredible. Kind, funny, professional - they made our day so much more special. Our pictures came out beautifully and the video was perfect. They have such a calm demeanor about them but at the same time extremely efficient and dedicated to what they had to shoot for us! Their prices are beyond responsible for the quality you will receive. Would recommend 10/10 times! Love them!
Shotwell is an amazing company and was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process! We used Shotwell for our photographers and as our photo booth. Rosana and Bobby were our photographers and I can't say enough good things about them. They worked so well together and besides listening to what we wanted and getting all of our must have shots, they were helpful with everything throughout the whole day. We also had Bobby run our photo booth and he was great as well! Many of our guests went back to the photo booth multiple times. Shotwell is a fantastic company from top to bottom and I couldn't recommend them more.
I would NEVER have been able to make it through my wedding day without them! We had Rosana and Bobby for photography and Pil for videography and the team was PHENOMENAL!!! Rosana had my daughters one earring in her pocket to keep it safe since she ripped it out and even reacted faster than lightning when her little ear started to bleed so she didn’t get blood on her dress.
All of our pictures came out better than I could have possibly imagined. The poses pictures and the candid ones are all beautiful and we have memories to cherish for years to come. If you need a photographer with a great eye, you need them!
BOOK SHOTWELL PRODUCTIONS! From start to finish working with Shotwell was a dream. Rosana was amazing, at one point wiping deodorant off of my bridesmaid, and getting the best shots. Photos were turned around so fast and naturally my whole family cried viewing them. Can’t wait to see the videos Jose took! 10000/10 recommend
Long over due review of the best photo/video company around! I can not recommend Shotwell Productions enough. Shotwell Productions did our photography and videography for our June 19, 2021 wedding. It was a great experience from start to finish!
We initially spoke to Rob who was great at explaining different options and really took into consideration what my needs and vision was for the day and found a package that fit that. He was absolutely no pressure and didn't try to up sell me on anything; I knew right in that initial conversation we wanted to use them! They also offered a hometown heroes discount for teachers, firefighters nurses, and police officers! I truly appreciate and admire this being a teacher during the pandemic!!
Rosana was our photographer and she is a ROCKSTAR!! She not only takes amazing photos but she feels like she is apart of your bridal party. She is super personable and offered much comedic relief on our hot sweltering wedding day! She helped my dad with his boutineer, helped bussel my dress, she followed my list of all the moments that I wanted captured and checked in to make sure I didn't need anything else before leaving.
Jose was our videographer and did a great job capturing all our special moments including a first look with my dad and my husband and I exchanging letters and gifts. We did the 4 minute highlight video as well as the video of our wedding and it was well worth it!!
The turnaround time in getting these photos and videos back is unmatched! I couldn't believe how fast they came in and how beautiful they all turned out!
Rob was also great about editing anything thing that we wanted changed in the video to make it perfect.
They are overall an amazing team and company! You won't be disappointed booking Shotwell Productions for your special day!!!
I can’t say enough about how incredible Rosana is! She has the ability to make you feel like her best friend and puts you completely at ease. She is so funny and easygoing and her pictures are absolutely beautiful! She gets the shots she needs while letting you have fun while doing it! She is the best!!
One of our favorite vendors along with our venue! I have worked with Rosana and Rob numerous times before as a bridesmaid so I knew once I got engaged that I would be booking them! My photos came out BEAUTIFUL and exactly what I asked for. We’re more than happy. They were so thorough, did not miss one detail, gave a shot list, and even a timeline for the day! They are so personable & kind. Their communication is also so fast and thorough!
Rosana and Evan from Shotwell Productions helped to make our day an absolute BLAST! It felt as if they’d been friends with our group for a long time! There were some issues with our venue the day of (which I found out afterwards) Rosana jumped right in there to make sure things went off perfectly. At one point my bustle on my dress broke and before I could even say anything to anyone, Rosana was fixing it. I can not thank them enough, nor can I stop recommending them to everyone! Highly highly highly recommend!
Hiring Shotwell Productions to do the photography for my wedding was without a doubt the best decision I ever made. Not only were they extremely accommodating with the rescheduling due to COVID (they still honored their original pricing for me even though they went through a HUGE expansion and overhaul between my booking and my COVID rebooking), but they were just an all around pleasure to work with. I had Rosana and Bryan shoot my wedding and we could not be any happier. They were both so laid back and funny. As someone who despises getting my pictures taken, I can say they both made me feel incredibly comfortable. Half the time I didn't even realize they were there! Rosana also went so above and beyond her call of duty as a photographer! She helped fasten my dress, both her and Bryan did the boutonnières, she came up with a plan to make my shy flower girl more comfortable, and even came out of nowhere with safety pins when my dress had a mishap during the reception! She was the real MVP of our wedding! As for the pictures themselves...absolutely gorgeous! We got them in record time (2 weeks exactly), and everyone is fantastic. They definitely have a real eye for lighting and making the best out of a situation. Our wedding was at night, on a windy rainy day, in a hotel, and we opted out of a first look....so our picture options and time were very limited. They took it and ran with it! They were so creative and efficient with time and organizing everyone. They were also not afraid to experiment and get dirty. Rosana at one point laid down in the middle of the parking lot, in the rain, in the dark, to get a shot of us... and it turned out to be my favorite shot of the night. Everything came out amazing, and we cannot thank Shotwell enough for capturing our wedding day so perfectly, and helping it go so smoothly.
Everyone is super nice and easy to work with and very affordable. They take their time but are careful to not take up so much time that the bride and groom cannot enjoy their cocktail hour. I can't wait to see all our photos.
The photographers from Shotwell Productions were nothing but amazing! They were very professional, friendly and were awesome! They were there to capture every moment of our special day. We would definitely recommend Shotwell Productions to everyone for their special day!
Shotwell Productions are wonderful. Rosana took amazing pictures and the turnaround was very quick, never needed to follow up! She was very accomodating knowing I was recovering from surgery and made sure I was comfortable during all shots! Definitely would recommend!
If you’re looking for a good photographer/videographer for your wedding, look no further!! Rob and Rosana are absolutely the best there is! Rosana was AMAZING during our engagement photo shoot! I was nervous to take pictures and look awkward and Rosana knew just what to say to keep us laughing and having fun the entire time! When the photos came back we were blown away, they looked so natural and beautiful! Fast forward to our wedding day, Rob and Rosana both went above and beyond our expectations! Rosana was running around everywhere getting shots of everyone, fixing my dress, helping take my shoes off. They are both so amazing and so friendly and personable. My husband and I cannot say enough good things about them!! 1000/10 DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM
where do I even begin!? Literally the most amazing photographers and videographers to hire, I am so happy I came across them! They were so professional, but fun at the same time! I definitely recommend them to everyone! The photos and video came back on time, and the price was so reasonable!
What an amazing company! My husband and I met with Rob & Rosanna back in March of 2020 right after we canceled our destination wedding. When we chose to move our wedding to 2021 in NJ we instantly called Shotwell. The BEST decision we made. Planning, preparing and working closely with Rosanna and Rob was the easiest part of wedding planning. They were organized, calm and reassuring. So easy to work with and bounce ideas off of!
Rosanna was our main photographer and needless to say she was FANTASTIC. Beyond my expectations. Not only was she a photographer, she was such a role on my wedding day. She wiped my tears, fixed my dress, put on my garter, and so much more. Looking back and seeing all she did for me that day is beyond appreciated. She is the reason my flower girl walked down the aisle. Not only was I impressed with Rosanna BUT so was my entire wedding party!She was my photographer, go to and my wedding coordinator LOL I cannot wait to see the pictures.
Frank was our secondary photographer who was so down to earth and engaging! He was taking photographs and telling us his OCD makes sure they are perfect (WELL every bride has OCD and this trait was beyond appreciated) He was so fun to work with !!!
Rob is an outstanding videographer. He is so chill, calm and really really into his job! Jon and I cannot wait to see our video because we know that Rob captured every moment of our wedding day and every detail. He was on his toes the entire day capturing everything.
There is not enough words to express how lucky and blessed I am to have had Shotwell at our wedding!
Hello! We used Frank as our photographer for our wedding, and the photos were absolutely amazing! The whole group at shotwell productions was super nice and easy going, but Frank was the icing on the cake. He had a great upbeat personality, and you could tell he loved what he did for a living. Look no further for a photographer, because with this company you are in good hands!
Hiring Rob & Rosana as our wedding photographers was the absolute best decision we made during our wedding planning process. They are not only professional - they are kind, caring, and just so incredibly personable. Due to Covid, our wedding was split into two parts (ceremony in 2020, reception in 2021). Rob and Rosana made it to our ceremony and had our photos & video back to us within days! Their work was absolutely stunning!
This past weekend, Rosana & Rob captured our reception beyond our expectations. Not only did they make sure to take all of the photos/video we asked for; Rosana also took the time to take photos for our guests with the instax camera we had set up for our “photo booth.” We didn’t even have to ask her to do this, she just genuinely cared enough to go out of her way to make sure this was a successful part of our event! I couldn’t imagine any other photographer going out of their way to do something like this! While we had other vendors who happily moved on from us once they were paid - Rob and Rosana have truly gone from photographers to friends, and I could not recommend them more!
For our wedding, we chose Shotwell’s Photography Standard and Videography Standard packages; we worked with Rosie and Craig for photo, and Rob for video. Coming from a photo background, I had some specific requests, and Shotwell delivered. From start to finish, they were friendly, accommodating, and incredibly helpful. Rosie ran the show; she knew exactly what she wanted her shot to be, but maneuvered us without being intrusive or pushy. She helped bustle my dress and attach the groomsmens’ boutonieres, going above and beyond her duty to make sure everyone looked their best. When we had a scheduling issue, she did her best to keep the ball rolling and still managed to get the shots she needed. Craig did an excellent job as the second shooter, and our final product is better than we could have hoped for. Rob, as our only videographer, certainly had his work cut out for him, but he caught every moment perfectly; when we watched the videos, we felt like we were at our ceremony again.
At the end of all the planning, organizing, and worrying you do for your wedding, all you have to show for it are the photos and videos. Shotwell Productions is an investment in your personal legacy, and you won’t regret booking them.
Shotwell Productions was absolutely amazing to work with. My fiancé & I booked with them & then decided to cancel the wedding for a later date. Shotwell was very understanding and honored our deposit and date change. Once we decided on a new date, unfortunately our whole budget changed and we downsized the wedding completely. The package I originally had was out of budget & Shotwell tried their best to coordinate with my budget but certain photographer and videographers were not available unfortunately for us. With the new budget, we were unable to book with Shotwell. This being said, Shotwell Productions understood our situation and refunded us our deposit back. They were so very helpful and amazing to work with. I wish we had room in the budget to continue with them because the customer service alone was just amazing and informative and responsive and so helpful. Thank you again Shotwell for everything you did to help accommodate us. It is definitely definitely appreciated.
Rob and Rosana with Shotwell were absolutely AMAZING! From the beginning of the planning process throughout the entire wedding, everything was perfect. They made the whole picture-taking experience fun and had really creative ideas! Such an awesome group to work with!
We were very impressed with Rob and Rosana’s high quality, professional live-stream video and photography for our wedding! They were also very friendly, kind and supportive throughout the day-from the preparations through to the reception. Rosana has a great eye for capturing the most touching moments and we really liked that Rob combined live-edits from two cameras to produce a seamless live-stream video. We were very pleased with how well the vimeo link worked and how easily and effortlessly our on-line guests could access it. This easy, ‘one click’ access, without needing any special software, aps, logins or accounts set up in advance was exactly what we were looking for. Our guests even commented on how high quality the video was. Rob and Rosana were exceptional to work with, always very responsive and taking the time to answer all of our questions and work through any complications. Rob walked us through everything and set up a demo live-stream as well as the actual site link in advance so we could share it with our guests weeks before the wedding. We are exceptionally pleased with the result and highly recommend their photography, video and live-streaming services.
Rob, Rosana and Bobby were amazing on our wedding day!! They were absolutely wonderful and we were so incredibly lucky to have them on our day. They made all of us feel comfortable and made the day flow so nicely!!! My husband and I highly recommend them for any event! There were incredible!
Our pictures were incredible! But more than anything, we are so grateful to Rosana for being so helpful throughout the day. She is more than just a photographer - she was an incredible helping hand to us. She was the perfect photographer for us - great personality and very graceful in dealing with crazy family dynamics.
Rosanna, Rob & The whole team were amazing! Our wedding was originally planned at a venue with 400 + people, as covid hit, plans began to change. Rob & Rosanna did not hesitate when we told them we were downsizing our wedding into a backyard wedding. They sent us videos to help us through the rough challenges of changing all of our events. The morning of the entire team showed up at 6am to start with photo & video and kept up with us throughout the entire day. The team was such a delight to work with. My husband & I are very awkward people and the fact that they were able to get such natural pictures of us is what I love the most.
I cannot express how grateful I am for this entire team. The outgoing personality of each team member is one of the things we loved the most.
Rosanna and rob were amazing. My day went so smooth with all they did for me and my husband. My pictures and video came back to me quick and they worked with me every step of the way.
Shotwell Productions is simply amazing! Rob was wonderful to work with, so laid back, easy-going, and talented! It felt like we had another friend with us all day. His willingness to help us during these hard times due to COVID really went to show his amazing character! At one point we had considered not having a videographer but I am beyond thrilled we decided to make Shotwell Productions part of our day. The memories and moments he captured are so special and beautiful. We love watching our videos it’s like re-living the day all over again. I can not thank Rob and Shotwell Productions enough!
We had Shotwell productions for both our wedding photo and video. They were so pleasant, sweet and delightful to work with. They got us our pictures back in under a month and our video back to us very quickly! The video was unlike others I had seen and it was truly amazing. They captured our day perfectly. We watch our highlight video very frequently and catch ourselves staring at the pictures from the day. Every moment is felt all over again thanks to them capturing our day!
Rob and Rosana are ROCKSTARS. Rosana took photos for our microwedding in January 2021. She is the perfect blend of professional with personality. She knew how to wrangle folks for posed photos while also capturing candid moments of me and my hubby. My family could not stop raving about her ! She was punctual, easy to work with and got all the shots I wanted. Shout out to Rob for his photo editing skills. I will cherish these photos forever!
Working with Shotwell to coordinate our wedding photography was very pleasant and seamless. Our photographer, Frank, did a wonderful job, and was great to work with. Lots of high-quality pics to choose from, and we really appreciated having everything shared with us (edited and unedited) so shortly after the event.
Just jumping right to it - 10/10 would recommend Shotwell Productions for ANY event in which you want lasting memories captured! Professionally, our team - Rob & Rosie - were on point. From the first meeting to learn more about them, to them collecting info to learn more about us, to the BIG DAY, and final products - they were thorough and detailed. Personally, our team - still Rob & Rosie - are awesome human beings. Though we may be considered clients to them, they are highly regarded as friends to us. This made them being part of our big day so much more comfortable and easy. Rosie's photos beautifully captured ALL of the details. And Rob's video....literally one family member's response was, "OSCAR WORHTY!" Seriously, the video is incredible. Guys...ASK FOR THE DRONE! I don't know if Rob is going to be annoyed with me for saying that, but he brought a drone to our outdoor wedding and that footage is SO.FRIGGIN.COOL. Anyway, if you can't tell, my husband and I are huge fans of the Shotwells and we will definitely be hanging with them in the future and hiring them to capture all of our family's special moments. THANK YOU SHOTWELLS - WE <3 YOU!
Rob and Rosana are the absolute best! I am a covid bride so my big family wedding has been postponed so on our original date we still got married and Rob and Rosana were still there to capture our special day! Rob even helped me with my zoom call he didn’t have to but they will do anything to make you happy and to ensure all goes smoothly. I knew when I first met them they were the ones and I can’t wait to work with them again!
Rob and Rosanna are so much fun to work with! Our party were laughing and chatting the whole day with Rob n Rosanna! They make the whole "chore" of being photographed a worthwhile event. Their attention to detail is exactly what you want in your photo/videographer team! They're VERY busy and for very good reasons! Additionally, their "turnaround time" was very efficient, too! We are VERY pleased with Rob n Rosanna's finished product from our wedding! We cannot say enough great things about them! Hire them before they're not available!

My fiancé and I are a COVID couple. Unfortunately, we had to cancel our dream destination wedding. So we decided to get married next summer in New Jersey. We had a meeting with Rosanna and Rob and immediately decided they were the perfect match for our wedding. Our initial meeting was fun, engaging and honestly so down to earth! I enjoyed planning my dream wedding with the both of them.
This past weekend my fiancé and I had our engagement photoshoot with Rosanna. I had so much fun! We laughed, joked, took pictures out of my comfort zone and I must say she exceeded all of my expectations. Each photo is perfect. People say you usually like 10-15 pictures of your photoshoot- FALSE I loved ALL of them. LOVED. I can't stop raving about my experience.
I cannot wait to have both Rosanna and Rob (Shotwell Productions) as a vendor at our wedding.
Best decision we made.
I wish I could give Rosanna and Rob 10 stars!! My fiancé and I met with both Rob and Rosie at a Panera for coffee for our initial consult. When they say go with your gut... Believe them. We left Panera without signing anything because we both thought we should see other vendors because that’s what everyone says you should do... we got out to the parking lot ... we both looked at each other and said we have to book with them they’re so awesome and we got such good vibes from them. We went back in and made one of the best decisions ever for our wedding. We booked Shotwell for video and photo. And to say they met all of our expectations is an understatement. They shot our micro wedding in September 2020 and we are so LUCKY that we have them again in July 2021. Every single guest commented on how awesome they were and how much fun they were. They’re patient, accommodating, funny, and make you as a bride and groom feel so comfortable. Our pictures and video are stunning. I wish I could post some of out photos here for reference. Even in the rain they captured everything we wanted and then some. I can’t say a enough about them!! They are THE BEST.
Thank you, rob, for my beautiful video of my wedding!!
Rob was super chill and fun to work with... He made the wedding planning process fun and easy, and continued to be accommodating even after postponing the wedding 3 times due to COVID-19. He also helped ease our nerves the morning of with his easy going personality and humor.
thanks rob and I am SO glad I ended up using you XO
THE BEST!!!!!! Photography and videography were the most important parts of my wedding. I am a photographer myself and I was worried about finding someone (that would meet up to my standards, hopefully be flexible about certain things I preferred, etc.) and Shotwell Productions EXCEEDED them!!! SP was able to capture the most important moments and were extremely creative with everything they did. They were prompt, easy to talk to, delivered on their promises, and were just so much fun to be around. They even came to the first part of my wedding that was planned last minute (in my backyard!!). THANK YOU and we will be continuing to use them!!!
When we first met Rob & Rosana, I automatically knew we’d made the best choice for our wedding photos/video. Not only are they extremely talented, they are just all around amazing people. We had to postpone or 6/26/20 wedding due to Covid, but we had a small ceremony on that day, and Rob & Rosana where there for us regardless of everything going on in the world. They made us laugh like crazy, and we completely forgot that we weren’t having our “dream wedding” that day. We are looking forward to seeing our pictures & video, and even more so to work with Rob & Rosana again next year at our large reception! <3 Vanessa & Steve
My husband and I initially had an engagement session with Rob on a day that unfortunately turned out to be fairly crappy weather, but we attempted to make our best of it. After some feedback from the shoot and realizing we also would prefer a nicer day, we worked something out to have another shoot. The second engagement shoot was with primarily Rosana, but also Rob and one of their trusted friends videoing parts. This shoot was made into part of their commercial as well, which we had fun participating in. Rob and Rosana are great, very understanding and compassionate! They're both great with receiving feedback and constructive criticism from a stressed out emotional bride LOL. Our wedding day was amazing, and Rob and Rosana captured many of those moments. Our wedding had a lot of little details that mattered a lot to my husband and I, are keeping up with those details for us let alone our venue or our vendors, I'm sure was difficult. For so many details that mattered so much to us, it was hard to fit them all in a tight timeline with minimal wiggle room, but we attempted to make the best of it. A few things were missed in our long list of things we wanted, but we do acknowledge our list was long. My husband and I have been through a lot over the years of knowing each other since we were 12 and our families have been through a lot, so there was a lot of moments we hoped to catch and went into this hoping we would get them all and only fell short by a few. Our photos and videos came out beautifully! Overall, I wish vendors worked better together to collaborate so the day doesn't feel so stressful with managing time and yet still being able to enjoy your day, but that is not Rosana or Rob's fault, as they tried to get as much information as possible through us from our vendors, or directly from our vendors themselves. My husband and I did come to point where, we had taken so many photos, it was getting late, we hadn't had time to greet or say hello to any of our guests, let alone begin to enjoy ourselves that we skipped a few items on our list to be able to enjoy our day a little ourselves and walk around greeting our guests who we wanted to truly spend the day with. Rosana and Rob were very understanding of this. They're a great couple, and it was a great time having them experience our time leading up to the wedding with us and our wedding day.
We had met Rosana for our engagement shoot in Staten Island, NY. We had a blast running around the Snug Harbor grounds with her. We received our pictures very quickly. They were absolutely stunning due to her artistry. We knew we had made the right decision for our wedding photographer after our interaction with her.
Leading up to our wedding, communication was key with Rosana and Rob. They ALWAYS responded promptly and seemed to ask the right questions to make sure we were getting everything we needed for our special day. They even took the time to send us a happy holiday video from both of them. What a special touch!
For our wedding day, we used Shotwell for both photography and videography. We were able to laugh so much with them, and they made us feel at ease. It felt like we were hanging out with old friends. I've been to weddings where the photographer was afraid to be in the action to take pictures, but not Rosana. She, nor Rob, did not hesitate to get into the action to take unforgettable shots.
We received our pictures and videos less than a month from our wedding, although I think it helps that we got married "off-season." They were both so creative in their shots, and we enjoy looking at our pictures and videos almost every day since.
I don't want to forget to mention that after we took some couple-only shots, none of my designated wedding dress bustlers were around to bustle my dress. Without hesitation, Rosana got down and bustled my dress perfectly. Even though this seems like a small gesture, it meant so much to me.
We hired Rob as our videographer and we were so pleased with the result!! Rob was so wonderful to work with both on the day of our wedding and in the follow up as we edited the video. You cannot beat the quality for the price!! Rob is super professional and kind, and he made edits to the video as many times as I wanted! Thank you so much for capturing our day, Rob!!
Very professional photographers! Rob and Rosanna were awesome capturing all the special moments for the couple. They are very flexible and took shots at a moments notice. They are very personable and easy to work with!!
I highly recommend them to anyone! They will not disappoint!
Do yourself a favor and book Shotwell Productions for your wedding photo and video!!!! Working with Shotwell Productions for my 11/2019 wedding was absolutely incredible. Rob and Rosanna are laid back, professional, and incredibly talented. From our first phone conversation I felt confident that my photos and video would come out great - but nothing could have prepared me for the beauty of my actual photos/video. The photos honestly looked like they belong in a bridal magazine, and the video makes my entire family and I cry every time we watch. Rosanna and Frank worked so hard to get every single photo I wanted, including absolutely STUNNING sunset pictures. The whole team made my family and bridal party feel so at ease while taking pictures (even in 40 degree weather). You will not find a better photo and video team with anyone else other than Shotwell (especially for their amazing price!!!)
Rob & Rosana were absolutely amazing! We had so much fun with them both and they helped us to feel comfortable and relaxed while still capturing every moment of our wedding day! They were both professional and combined our vision with their expertise and our photos are absolutely stunning! We were also amazed at their flexibility-we got married on top of a mountain and Rob & Rosana were more than willing to not only run around and help with anything we needed but lugged all their gear to the top of the mountain for our first look and ceremony and our pictures could not be more beautiful-they also brought their drone to capture our mountain top shots! I highly recommend Shotwell Productions for your wedding day-they will surpass your expectations!
Shotwell exceeded our expectations in every way, from their professionalism and preparation to their sense of humor. My wife and I knew from our first conversation that we wanted to book them for our wedding. Rosana specifically made us feel very comfortable “in front of the camera” when we did our engagement shoot. That comfort level carried over to our wedding day where they kept us on time even through all the chaos. We could not be more happy with the photos and videos from Shotwell. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
We hired Rob and Rosana to photo and video our wedding and we are SO happy we did! You let your photo/video crew in on some of the most intimate parts of your day but they make you feel so comfortable like you all have been friends for years! They are the cutest husband/wife team and you will love working with them--They are so talented, we highly recommend working with them!
Rob and Rosana are AMAZING! They made us feel completely comfortable in all ways- they were friendly, funny, fun, compassionate, caring- Rosana literally gave me her sneakers off her feet to help my heels from not sinking into the grass!! Our photos and video are everything we could have asked for!! Our whole experience with Shotwell productions was beyond our expectations!
If you are in need of a wedding photographer Shotwell is the company to pick. We had an absolute blast with Rosie during our wedding. She was able to get everyone where they needed to be and did not miss a single shot. I cant say enough good things about our experience with them. Rosie became a part of our wedding with her fantastic personality and humor. We loved our experience so much that we printed a photo of Rosie and us from the wedding. They sent us our pictures so fast which made it even more exciting. You will be in good hands with this team.
Best photographers ever! They completely exceeded our expectations! Got so many candid shots and make the day completely seamless. We csnt thsnk you guys enough! We will definitly refer to any and everyone! Thsnk you for being such s huge part of the modt memorable night of our lives.
I cannot recommend Shotwell enough! We worked with both Rosana and Rob and they were extremely timely, professional and fun! We spent most of the day with Rosana who got every single shot we wanted and was able to seamlessly wrangle many group and family shots with ease. Rosana helped to keep the day moving, ensured we got all of the photos we wanted, and most importantly, made sure everyone had fun! We got so many compliments from our guests who just enjoyed being around her while she took photos! Rosana and Rob helped capture the vision and vibe of our wedding perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the results. We got all of the photos back just a little over two weeks after the wedding with beautiful editing and organized nicely on a site for us.
Highly recommend!
Thank you!
We worked with Rob and Rosana and their photographer, Brielle, for our August 2019 wedding and everything was fantastic! Brielle was super sweet and went above and beyond on our day. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera.
Rob did an excellent job editing the images. He provided us with a beautiful gallery of edited images and all of the raw footage. 10/10 would recommend!
We spent a lot of time and research to find the perfect photographer and videographer, and when we met Rosana it was love at first sight! Her energy, passion, professionalism, and sense of humor made her seem too good to be true. Our decision was very simple from there.
We also needed a videographer, and that is when we met Rob who was with Rosana in a video call. Again, his clear passion for his work and his experience made it a no brainer.
As the wedding got closer, to our surprise, Rob and Rosana sent little humorous reminders to get us excited for our special day, and even more impressively were both incredibly prompt to all our emails to cover every little detail.
Enter the wedding day, and it could not have been more perfect. Rob, Rosana and their assistants were on time for every part of the day. They were the perfect mix of humorous, professional, and of utmost importance in the background! After the day, we both remarked how we forgot they were even there.
If all of this was not enough, the magic continued to after the wedding! We had a long list of photos we wanted, and Rosana made sure she captured each and every one! The photos were available almost immediately to our delight within the first week. Rob had our video available to review and make recommendations on edits within the first two weeks!
I cannot stress enough how floored we both were by Rob and Rosana's professionalism throughout! Even as it felt at times that we were asking for too much in regards to making edits to our video so it was perfect, Rob and Rosana never gave us anything less than full cooperation, effort, and courtesy.
I would like to emphasize all other reviews they have received... 5 stars is not enough for Rob and Rosana!
I was recommended to Shotwell through a friend and I’m so glad we went with Rob and his team. It was really important to me as a bride to know that the vendors I was choosing cared about helping us prepare for such a big occasion and were available to answer any questions we had along the way. Rob is so personable and friendly that it feels like you’re talking to someone you’ve known for years, and his responsiveness is on point which was key for me in making such an important decision for our wedding. My husband and I love how beautiful our photos look, there are so many to choose from and they turned them around really quickly! I can’t speak highly enough of how happy we were, so go with Shotwell, you’ll be glad you did!
Where do I begin phasing this team! Rosana, Anne, and Rob from the minute we met them were outstanding and when the wedding day arrived they were on their "A" game. My husband and his groomsmen loved how well Anne interacted with them and I can't stress enough how beautifully Rosane captured my dress, my bridesmaids and the entire day. There is nothing these ladies were not willing to do to capture the perfect picture. With that said, our pictures turned out stunning. We would recommend this team over and over again.
Rosa and Rob were so fun to work with! From our first phone interview until they were done, they were engaging and personable. Our family and friends loved working with them too. They did a great job of telling funny stories to make us have natural smiles and they were able to get the kids in our wedding party to look at the camera.
Rosa went above and beyond as not only a photographer but a helper in every part of the wedding (literally giving me the backs off her earrings when I realized I forgot some), bustling my dress, taking my veil off and packing it up when no longer needed etc.
I highly recommend using Shotwell for your wedding!
We worked with Shotwell for photo and video for our wedding and they were BEYOND amazing!!!!! Leading up to our wedding we spoke to them numerous times about scheduling, our style etc, and did an engagement shoot! We literally got our engagement photos the same day, how amazing is that?!? Rosana and Rob were so perfect at our wedding! They got amazing photo and video and were such a blast to spend the day with! They had us laughing the whole day! They helped in so many ways that day beyond just photo and video, it was like having 2 extra friends by our side. They were on time, organized, and delivered all our photos/videos in the time frame they said. We got an album and canvas too which are absolutely amazing! Rosana let us edit the album, I literally cried when we received it, SO PERFECT!!!! Same with the videos, Rob let us edit them a bunch of times until they were EXACTLY what we wanted! We are so happy we chose Shotwell for our wedding, and you will be too!!!!! We are so grateful for the amazing photos and videos and now a great friendship with Rosana and Rob! You guys rock, we love you!!!!
Rob is a true master at his craft. He did the videography for my wedding and I couldn't be happier. He communicates well and responds quickly. His laid back demeanor makes him approachable and easy to work with. He is professional and worked well with my photographer, venue and bridal party. He has a drone too which I was excited about and was able to run it even with my wedding being a windy day! Rob is self directed and got right to work when he arrived. He knows how to effectively work within a time frame but with great quality of work. He truly knows how to capture emotion and the day beautifully. My brother was taken with his talent and personality he may be hiring him too! I highly recommend him!
I began looking for the right photographer two years before my actual wedding date, because to me, the pictures I can look at for the rest of my life was the most important part of the day. I had called around to a few people recommended to me at the time, and I just didn't feel the spark I wanted to feel. When I came across Rob and Rosana on the Knot, I gave them a call. They were so nice! We met up to talk about my wants and needs, our personalities, and discuss some details of the day. By the time I left our meet up, I was SO excited. They are so personal, they listen to all your rambling, they take their time to answer every single question, and they have all the patience in the world when you change your mind a hundred times!They worked flawlessly on the day of the wedding. So attentive to us, and detail oriented. They had fun ideas to incorporate into our pictures, which made them so much more fun and not only formal! Once we received the photos after the wedding (which took no time at all) we were elated. They were stunning. We could not be more happy with the end result, and they just made the entire experience stress free as possible. I am so glad we chose them! I will recommend them to anyone and everyone I know!
Rob and Caii were SO amazing to have working our wedding. We weren't going to have a videographer at all, and then we decided we should. We couldn't have made a more wonderful choice. From the get go Rob was responsive, clear on what decisions needed to be made, the timeline of our wedding day, everything. He is easy going and responsible. He and Caii were like ninjas, they weren't intrusive, didn't get in the way, and managed to get awesome video of us and the important people attending our special day. The value for the price is unbelievable. Multiple edits were done until we were happy with the end result. They worked seamlessly with the photographers we had too. Rob also made an extra effort to get us a version of our full-length video quickly so we could have it in time for our second wedding reception in Jamaica! (Rave reviews for the video there as well.) I totally meant to write this review earlier, whoops. Better late than never! We've hired his, now wife, Rosana to do photos of a special party we are having as well! Thanks again Rob!!
If I could give Rob and Rosana more than 10 stars I would! I was planning my wedding from out of state, so finding a photograher/videographer that I connected with was tasking until I found Shotwell Productions. They spent so much time getting to know my fiance and I from afar that when we actually met them on the day of the wedding they were anything but strangers. All of my guests loved them and they made everyone feel so comfortable. When we received our highlight video and all our photos I could not have been happier. I have probably watched the video 100 times already and I smile every single time. Rob nailed the video so perfectly. Rosana was able to capture all the special moments I could have wanted along with capturing the most adorable pictures of my dog, who was our flower girl. I couldn't have picked a better duo!
This review is long overdue! I can't say enough good things about Rob and Rosana! They are simply the best! They did our engagement photos...which included my 3 children...and, they came out absolutely perfect! Then, on our wedding day, they did all of our photography, and also videography. I am so glad that we chose to go ahead and include video of our special day! From start to finish, Rob and Rosana did an impecable job! Our photos are gorgeous! Our video is stunning and moving! With Rob and Rosana, you feel so relaxed...like they're family! They make the whole experience so much fun, and memorable! I highly recommend Shotwell Productions for your wedding photography and videography! I couldn't imagine choosing anyone else!
Rob & Rosana did such a great job for us! They were so helpful during the whole process. We had the deluxe photo and video package, and it was worth every penny! After the wedding, we got all of our photos and video promptly, and everything came out beautifully! We can’t say enough great things about them! Thanks Rob & Rosana!
Rob Shotwell is the epitome of a professional.
We initially hired Shotwell Studios after our first videographer fell through. From our initial consultations, “Shottie” put our minds to ease and assured us that there was nothing to worry about going forward, even including an engagement shoot with our package to sweeten the deal. Despite the rain, the images were stunning.
Shotwell was not only punctual and professional, but most importantly, his final video shows how important perfection is to him. The video is a masterpiece, memorializing the most important aspects of what was the greatest day of our lives.
Thank you, Shottie, for your impeccable service and exceptional character. We will certainly be utilizing your services in the future, that is, as long as the cupcakes are flowing!
Rob and Rosana are absolutely amazing. I have no idea where to even begin. From the initial meeting, to getting our photos and video they have been prompt, courteous, sweet, funny and super professional. Within minutes of every email I would get a respond back no matter what time of the day. They always ensured that they knew exactly what you wanted and executed everything better than I ever expected. Rob is a total sweetheart and Rosana is an absolute doll. Their personalities alone made us feel super comfortable and confident in their work. They are a hilarious wife and husband team that made us feel comfortable in every way. On the day of our wedding they arrived promptly and began setting up with no problems. Not only were they super discreet but their work did not get in any way of anything. They were very courteous in taking shots during the getting ready process and were very discreet throughout the night. Rosana was not just an amazing photographer but noticed every detail and would even help me out beyond her photographer duties. She fixed my hair and even my bustle when needed. When she noticed that guests were coming in when they were not supposed to she was the first one to run to me and hide me. She was probably more in tune to my needs then the actual attendant herself. Rob was fantastic with video and was amazing as well. The shots he took for our video blew us away! Overall not only did they meet my expectations they went beyond. My pictures and video were so beautiful and received many compliments. Even after the wedding my guests complimented their service. Best vendor Ive ever booked! You’ll regret not giving them a call!
Rob & Rosana were absolutely AMAZING photographers for our wedding day! So kind to everyone and easy to get along with, very personable, down to earth, and professional all at the same time. Unlike most wedding photographers they didn't get in your way at all and managed to just blend in and get some incredible shots of everything. They made our personal & bridal party photos so enjoyable and easy. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone! Thank you for your outstanding service to us on our big day! =)
I rated this vendor a 5/5 stars and would have given them an even better score if it were possible! I cannot say enough about this photography company! They Blew my expectations and were the kindest and most easy going vendor I had the pleasure of working with throughout my wedding experience. They were beyond professional , kind hearted and treated everyone in my bridal party and guests as
If they were family. They were great with everyone from my 4 year old ring bearer to our grandparents and every guest in between. There were times that Rosanna not only acted as a photographer, but a crowd controller, my wedding coordinator and took every opportunity to step in to accommodate needs beyond photography. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about this company, and I could not wait to write this review. This is my way of not only showing the company my gratitude, but to also help deserving engaged couples to get the best photographer in the business!!
Beyond amazing!!! Rob was so easy to work with during this whole experience. He was super professional, funny, and had a sense of calm about him that made us feel so relaxed on our wedding day. Above all, his work is PERFECTION!! We could not have asked for a more professional highlight video and full length feature. My husband actually commented as we were watching the video for the first time, " I feel like I am watching an actual movie, I can't believe this is real!" HIGHLY recommend. You will not be disappointed. Thanks so much Shotwell Productions!!!!!
Absolutely amazing. Rob and Rosana were an absolute pleasure to work with. From beginning to end they were able to capture our day perfectly. They were very responsive and quick to get us our photos/videos after the wedding. They both have amazing talent and we will treasure the memories they captured for years to come.
Can I give them 10 stars? There are just too many good things to say about these two! We felt like our friends were photographing and videoing us the whole time. Rosana is the perfect mix of friendly and professional. Rob knows exactly what will look good in a wedding video. Rosana’s backup photographer was also so nice and fun to work with.
My bridal party absolutely loved them too. They kept us laughing and comfortable throughout our entire wedding. I seriously have only wonderful words for them. We got to sneak peek some of our photos during the night and they almost made me cry they were so good. I can not wait to see all of them and our video! On top of them being just awesome they’re genuinely good people.
