Simi Rabinowitz Photography

ginning! We have two different philosophies about pictures, Arielle loves portraits, while Jonathan loves candids. This was one of the first things we talked about with Simi, and the beauty is that he does both so well!!! He is an excellent photographer, who is so chill and so easy to talk to! He worked with us through the two different venues, and rethinking the timeframe of pictures. At one point, we thought we would have a shorter wedding, and despite our initial contract, Simi was more than willing to modify the contract to a shorter time and adjust the fee accordingly. In the end, we stuck with the 8 hours. And we could not be happier! Simi is an incredible photographer who is so fun to work with!

of the event, Simi did a fantastic job covering our wedding. He let us take leadership during the event's initial portrait time, and left us with stunning photos of us, family, and friends. During the event's ceremonies and celebrations, Simi magnificently captured both the big must-have moments (ring exchanges, speeches, dancing), as well as the small very-detailed moments (hand-holding, dress embroideries, nature textures). Simi takes a journalistic approach that captures moment both 'seen and unseen' in a remarkable and poetic way. The pictures we have today perfectly capture the pomp and circumstance, alongside the quiet intimacy of our wedding. Following the event, Simi was very quick to publish a preview of our web gallery, and soon after, he shared the entire gallery, which was very nicely categorized and easily viewable. Simi has also made the process of designing an album very simple and straightforward. We are so thankful to have worked with Simi and would recommend him time and again!

ck to me right away. I think he was only vendor that I don't need to send follow-up emails. Trust me, I sent a lot emails to him. He is always so patient , so kind , and so good at calming me down through his emails. Even my husband made fun of me that I fell in love with Simi's emails. When it come to the photos, we love our engagement sessions and wedding albums. Our photos are natural and full of love. And Simi captured all the unique moments of us. On both photo shooting days, we had so much fun with Simi. He is so good at capture not only the big moments, but also those small & unobvious moments. I highly recommend Simi to be your wedding photographer and he definitely make the entire process so easy and simple. And most importantly, you will love your pictures! Helen T.

great opportunity to see his work beforehand. We were really happy with this, as we'd tried one photographer before who we weren't super pleased with. We'd hire Simi again in a heartbeat. We are super happy with his photos of our wedding, and he was a pleasure to work with.

os without us even noticing. We couldn't be happier that he was our photographer!

when there are so many people involved and parties and generations, that is an absolutely crucial and highly underappreciated strongpoint. Not to mention, his photos came out of a catalogue, but not forced, not fake, real live genuine shots of our very special day we will never forget. I could not recommend more highly this highly talented and easygoing individual to capture the most special moments on your day.

-2 years since our wedding. I couldn't recommend Simi enough!

During our wedding Simi and his staff were able to capture the key moments without getting in the way of dancing and celebration which is not an easy thing to do. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer in the Boston/NE area!

is his work custom and inspirational, it's unique to each event he photographs. He brings in the natural beauty of your surroundings as well as your subject matters. He is able to work around intensely busy situations and never misses to capture the moments of fun you may be too busy to see. Besides his photography being unique, so is his personally! He is an easy going, fun loving deeply invested wonderful addition to your celebrations / events. There isn't an ask he can't do, figure out or suggest other and/or additional ideas for. We had more laughs with Simi during our engagement, 1st look photos & throughout our wedding, moments that could have been stressful or uncomfortable but he made them fun & exciting!! He is fast to deliver back your proofs and easy to work with in creating printed designs. We look forward to working with Simi again & again in the future!!

job incorporating our dog into our photos! His photos are fantastic and he has a great eye for unique and wonderful shots. Quick turnaround for proofs! Don't miss your opportunity to hire Simi!

immediately. He so accommodating and captured every photo on our list. He moves like a ninja and was EVERYWHERE during the reception capturing hilarious moments on the dance floor. Simi was so easy to work with and made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the engagement shoot and the day of our wedding. We are not into PDA and thought we'd be too stiff during the engagement shoot but Simi made it fun and our photos came out great. We would 100% recommend Simi to anyone getting married!

st to us. His photography is outstanding, and we have already recommended him to multiple friends. We really, really love the photos he took and are very thankful we found him to be our wedding photographer.

en best photo spots. The photos are all really special, and he did an amazing job of capturing the energy of our day. Simi's dedication and commitment to delivering the best photos was best illustrated at the end of the evening. Well after he was slated to call it a night, he found us, let us know he was leaving. A few minutes later, a particularly funny dance-off was happening on the dance floor, and Simi was in the center capturing it all. We would hire Simi again in an instant. Working with him was super smooth, and his photographs are truly special. We were lucky to have such a great photographer documenting our day.

ed our day. My husband hates having his picture taken and Simi made us both feel very comfortable every step of the way. I love that in addition to the "big stuff" he captured little moments that we didn't get to see when we were in the heat of the moment, like small details of the decor and interactions between people we never thought would enjoy dancing together. We highly, highly recommend!

ing and dancing will be one's that I'll treasure forever. My husband is an amateur photographer, and was very particular during the hiring process. The fact that he was so happy with the photos really says a lot. Simi is a true professional!

the key thing for us was that he integrated seamlessly into our day, never making any moment about him and his photos. He was supremely respectful of our guests and our time, as we found the reception zipped by!! For our reception, we had quite a few formal portraits we needed to get through, yet he worked through these smartly and efficiently, and the results speak for themselves. We also really liked his openness to input from us regarding how we'd like to set up the photos, whilst also offering his clearly expert advice and ideas as well!! If you're looking to take one more thing off your mind on the day, (It can be quite an overwhelming emotional day, and the last thing you need to be doing is worrying about minutiae) then I implore you to consider Simi as your photographer, the service and the person are both excellent. Thank you again!!!!

impressed! Coming from a big southern family, my parents really wanted portrait photos. Although some photographers want to stay away from stand and look at me, Simi made what is normally very boring, into playful and memorable. During the reception, he went table to table with the groom and me to make sure all of our guests were in at least one photo, weird request but he didn't mind! Although he was supposed to leave following the bouquet toss, he stayed a little longer and asked if I wanted any more photos before he left, a true sign of his character :) The groom and I have not seen any wedding photos but if they are anything like our engagement photos, I am going to be blown away. Simi is the type of photographer that can adapt to any situation and make people who hate photos of themselves pleasantly surprised at how good they look! Besides being a great person, his price is the best in town. I was able to have an engagement shoot with Simi prior to the wedding and now that the wedding is complete, he is working on a photo album so that I have something to look at any day I want. Thank you Simi for working with our quirky family! If only we had more events for you to photographer :) Shannon & Jordan

ssful and I'd definitely recommend him!

of our moments were captured beautifully. Simi was very easy to work with and always responded quickly to any questions. I would recommend for anyone in search of a caring and talented photographer!

wanted lots of candid photos and Simi didn't disappoint. I called him the "Photography Ninja" since, and this is all credit to Simi, I didn't remember seeing him taking photographs! I cannot recommend him enough.

ays professional and quick to reply to our emails, he helped us figure out the best times to shoot on our wedding day, was able to add additional shooting to our package so that he could cover our rehearsal dinner (something the groom's mother wanted), and carried a printed out "must-have" shot list that we had put together ahead of time on the day of the wedding. He was flexible when we veered a bit from the list of family portraits, and most impressive, Simi was incredibly flexible when it came to the weather we faced. During our engagement session, we took pictures outside in below-freezing temperatures, yet Simi never once complained and even recommended additional spots to take pictures that day, despite how cold he must have been. On the day of our wedding, we had to move the ceremony and all pictures inside because of pouring rain and winds up to 50mph, yet somehow Simi's photographs are beautiful and the lighting in them is perfect. He even ran out into the rain at one point so that we could get some pictures on the front porch, getting soaked in the process but completely willing to do what it took to get a good shot. When we got our photos, we were amazed by all of the little details Simi noticed and captured - I had barely even noticed him during the ceremony and reception and yet he managed to capture everything! Others have said it and I agree - he is unobtrusive but still manages to capture every detail. On top of all of this, Simi is also just a really nice guy, bonding with our family who have young kids and easy to talk to personally and professionally. We couldn't love our photos any more, and I can't recommend Simi enough!

the right photographer and turning our focus to all of the other stuff we had to worry about. Our engagement shoot was great and we got to chat we Simi and learn a little more about his style. We already knew he had a great eye from checking out his website / following him on Facebook and getting our photos back just reinforced that. My wife does not enjoy having her picture taken (even though they usually come out pretty good!) and as we did our engagement shoot I kept joking “don’t worry Simi is going to take 500 pictures, so you’re gonna like at least 20 of them”. Even she had to admit almost all of them came out great and Simi incorporated some pretty cool natural features from the arboretum we were at. On our wedding day, Simi was at the venue early scoping everything out. He had been to our venue previously, but we had a mid-April wedding so it was a bit of a toss-up as to whether there would actually be anything blooming/growing that we may want to have as a backdrop. We had some ideas on what we wanted to get for pictures, but Simi was great with helping us formalize it by walking us through his shot list and so we could pick thing we wanted or didn’t want. It was super helpful to have him provide us a framework that we could tweak as we wanted…especially because as we walked through his list we thought “oh yeah, we want a picture of that too”. Throughout our wedding day Simi was unbelievably efficient. He had it all mapped out and executed on everything, with some checking and adjusting of course (e.g., when the guys corsages took a little longer than expected to get pinned on for various reasons). We were especially appreciative of Simi’s efficiency with our photos during cocktail hour as my wife and I wanted to catch the tail end of it, which we did!! All of our guests (and my wife and I) were impressed with how Simi was always in the right place at the right time…checking time, checking lighting and always seeming to know what shot he wanted next, but at the same time not being locked into a certain sequence. He caught some great candids and family shots (cousins, extended family), but was focused on my wife and myself. It was amazing how he was able to do it all while making it seem effortless (it only “seemed” effortless because all the time and effort Simi puts into his craft). Not sure how to word it, but although Simi was always in the right place at the right time, he was never in the way. I have been to weddings where that was not the case…or where the photographer seemed to be stressing people out by trying too hard to get pictures or by missing key pictures / moments. It was a pleasure to work with Simi and we are still amazed at all the great pictures and moments Simi captured for us!!!!
