Simi Rabinowitz Photography

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!!!!

on how impressed they were that he was constantly monitoring the lightening, assessing the weather outside and always on the look out for the perfect shot. He was very professional and organized. It was a breeze to work with Simi. He was quick to respond and easily approachable. He is very organized in his approach and presented us with a comprehensive wedding package. We started with an engagement photography session which gave us the opportunity to get to know Simi, and Simi the opportunity to get to know us. He showed up to the location early and had already scouted out some great areas to take some pictures. As some of my friends or husband might attest, I am not a big fan of having my picture taken but he made this engagement session fun and relaxing and the pictures were stunning! In the weeks leading up to the wedding he presented us with a photography shot list. We found this incredibly helpful as we had not yet thought too much about the “must have” photos that we wanted. He used this list as a guide on our wedding day to take pictures of the special moments we requested. His focus was always on the wants or needs of the bride and the groom. He was quick to finalize our wedding photos and we were thoroughly impressed with his work. It was such a special moment looking through our wedding photos together, Simi really took the time to capture the event in its entirety. If you are looking for a skilled wedding photographer with a keen eye, I would highly recommend Simi.

ith our photos- we'd book him again for any future photography needs without a moment's hesitation. A consummate professional throughout the entire process, he handled every change- whether major, minor, or last minute- with grace and understanding. Neither of us being particularly comfortable in front of the camera, we loved Simi's photojournalistic approach, which was completely unobtrusive and allowed him to capture everything organically. Thanks to him, we will be able to treasure every moment of that day for the rest of our lives, including the small ones easily missed by a more cookie-cutter approach to wedding photography. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

ll the questions Ian and I had. Ian and I live 3 hours away from where we got married at White Cliffs, and Simi accommodated every need we had being that far away, he always answered his emails on time, and was able to send us things we needed via email as well. On our wedding day Simi was absolutely amazing, he caught every single moment of our wedding in all of his photos. Every picture that was taking was absolutely perfect, and we could not be happier. Simi was so easy to work with, and so accommodating throughout the whole day (even if we made him walk roughly 300 stairs to get down to the beach). Thank you so much for taking our wedding day photos, and for capturing some of our best moments.

ng, while also being very professional and responsive. His photos are also amazing. At our wedding, he made sure to take all of the photos we requested and so many more. He has a great eye and captured moments beautifully. On top of that, he did our engagement photos, which came out beautifully as well. Having been involved in a lot of weddings, what seems to make Simi stand out among other photographers is his easy-going nature, professionalism, and skill not just as a professional photographer, but also an artist. He is truly very talented, I wouldn't hesitate to hire him if you are considering him. We are so happy that we found him for our wedding!

ith exhibits, and in low-lighting as we danced during the reception. His photo-journalistic style means you and your guests won't receive a ton of instructions about how to pose or where to stand - Simi will unobtrusively blend into your big day and capture the magic as it happens. This is particularly great for people who aren't super-comfortable taking posed photos (like my husband!). But, he still made sure to capture all of the details and group shots that we requested ahead of time. Simi was always prompt in communicating, and returned our edited wedding photos is under one month. His pricing was easy to understand, and very competitive with others photographers in the Boston area. And we loved having the digital rights to the photos, so that we could share everything with our family and friends. Overall, Simi was a pleasure to work with, and we are very happy that we hired him to photograph our wedding!

indow after the ceremony and Simi jumped all in. He went above and beyond to make our day great. The photos came out wonderfully.

te professional. Our friends and family love the photos he got, many of which we didn't even realize he was right there taking photos. Highly recommend!

. On the day of the wedding he was so professional while at the same time being really low-key and not adding to the stress of getting ready beforehand or anything. During the ceremony and reception he was amazing - every time I would think, "Wow, I wish we had a picture of this," there Simi would be, unobtrusively taking one. He was like a ninja, making his way around the chapel and the ballroom into every situation we needed him, without being in the way at all. And the pictures he produced are really amazing and really capture all the emotions and highlights of the day. He's extremely talented and you would be lucky to have him work with you for your wedding!

op a working relationship. He made us feel comfortable and knew exactly how to get the perfect shot. I highly recommend him!

We were thrilled when we received the photos, and our families were delighted with his work as well.

imi was calm, professional and engaging the entire wedding day! Everyone who sees our photos and/or attended our wedding raves about his work! We highly recommend.

anybody else there to capture these wonderful memories.

th, but had an eye for detail. Some of the moments or tiny elements he caught during our wedding day were so subtle but we are so grateful to have all these tiny moments from him. Starting with our engagement pictures, he was willing to meet us at a location that was fairly far removed, even form our venue, and proceeded to take great pictures of us despite a very cool, breezy day on the beach in October. On our wedding day, Simi was easy to deal with and almost invisible in some cases. When he needed to direct us, he directed us, and the rest of the time, we just trusted he was taking good pictures. In the end, the pictures came out amazing! We are very happy with them and will treasure them forever! We would happily recommend him to any bride and groom.

n the quality of his work along with his prices made choosing him a no brainer. And we are so happy we did! Simi knew our venue having photographed there before and was able to get some truly beautiful shots. Both my husband and I feel that he truly captured the emotions and vibe of the day. The weather on our wedding day ended up throwing us a major curveball by dumping snow on us, but Simi took it all in stride. We even ventured out into the winter wonderland to capture some photographs, which turned out fantastic. One of the true testaments to how great Simi was is that he was very unobtrusive and was able to get many natural and candid photographs. So many of our guests commented on how he appeared to be everywhere and truly got some photographs that we wouldn’t have thought possible. On top of all that Simi was very responsive throughout the wedding planning process to answer any and all questions. We could not recommend Simi highly enough!

was cold and raining, yet the moments Simi captured, both big and small, were warm, beautiful, and perfect!! Plus he has a personality that immediately puts you at ease (important for a busy bride!) and I often forgot he was even there. He was clear and easy to communicate with, before, during, and after the wedding. I cannot recommend Simi enough, nor can I thank him enough for wedding photos my husband and I will cherish forever!

sion without feeling like we had a stranger among us. Simi did not disappoint! He was calm, warm, professional and patient. He captured the day beautifully, and most of the time we forgot he was there. We have three young sons who were underfoot all afternoon and Simi was perfectly relaxed and kind with them as they squirmed and played while we were exchanging vows on the beach. From gorgeous candids of the kids throwing sand, to amazing action shots of us laughing and crying, and formal family portraits, Simi's work was just breathtaking. Our photos of our elopement are the only way for us to share our wedding day with our family and friends. Thanks to Simi's artful work, all of our people have been brought to tears and now feel like they were there with us. Thank you, thank you!

beautiful effects. He did not disappoint. We are so happy with the photos. It was truly amazing how he was able to capture moments and little details without ever feeling like he was being intrusive. Everyone who sees our pictures tells us over and over how beautiful they are. We look forward to enjoying the photos for many many years!

nd even suggested a great place for our engagement photo shoot. During our wedding, we asked for a second photographer, and both Simi and Rebecca did an excellent job. They were very unobtrusive throughout the wedding but somehow managed to take these spectacular shots. Simi is a great storyteller and has a knack of capturing his subjects in a very artistic light. He made our wedding come alive. In addition, we received our pictures back very quickly. We had so many favorites, it was hard picking them out for our wedding album. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our pictures, and we're thankful we got a chance to work with him.

mely professional, a pleasure to work with and we couldn't be happier with our weddding photos and overall experience in working with him.

using the outdoor light in the best ways possible. We are so so pleased with the way the pictures came out--he has a true artistic eye. Simi captured many candid moments throughout our wedding day that were not obvious things to photograph, but that give a much fuller and more authentic idea of the day than we would have without them. One example: as we were dancing, a few friends and I took off our heels and lined them up against the wall to give our feet a break. Simi noticed within moments and came over from the other side of the room to capture the moment. We love the photos from our arboretum engagement shoot too. He found all sorts of cool spots for creative shots, and did amazing things with the light. In addition to being a great photographer, Simi is a very kind person. My husband and I felt so comfortable and relaxed around him, and he set a good example for everyone at the wedding with his calm and grounded attitude. Every aspect of working with Simi was wonderful. I am so glad we found him!

r photographers who charge nearly twice as much. We were hoping for our wedding day to be documented in a photojournalistic style with mostly candid pictures capturing the energy and mood of the event, and this is precisely what Simi does so well! There are so many pictures we like, we are having an incredibly difficult time choosing which ones to include in our album. In addition to his talent as a photographer, Simi has been consistently punctual, responsive to emails, and generally professional. Moreover, he was willing to drive from Boston to Western MA without charging an additional travel fee. We are thankful that we chose him to preserve the memories of our big day and recommend him highly!

which put my husband at ease and more comfortable. Simi also manages to capture intimate moments without being intrusive. His calming presence was a much appreciated and welcomed on the big day!

freezing cold in Boston last December, to the wedding night and every meeting in between, Simi was just incredible. So relaxed, so knowledgable and talented. Nothing ever felt "staged" or forced, he was everywhere he needed to be, and never felt intrusive. Can't wait to have babies so he can do those portraits too!

y came out stunning. The engagement shoot was something we didn't want initially but we were glad we did it. On wedding day simi was organized and ready, quick in action and got us to fit in all the pics we wanted. The wedding day was a blur as the groom but simi was able to capture every moment in beautiful fashion. He was like a ninja when it came to the party, I barely saw him until he said he was heading out. Looking back at the pictures I was amazed what he was able to do in that time frame. Highly recommend his services to Everyone out there looking for a Great photographer for their special day

extremely professional, super easy to talk to and work with, definitely not an "in-your-face" type of photographer, aannd, didn't make us do anything forced/awkward- which is exactly what we were looking for. Last summer, we had an engagement photo shoot and we wanted to get pictures in our home of South Boston. Simi came to meet us and also knew EXACTLY where to go to get beautiful and unique shots in the city. Then, before the wedding, Simi was super helpful in helping us set up a timeline, getting a second shooter for just the ceremony, and making a list of "must have" shots. He did not let us leave one stone unturned- which was extremely helpful during the last few stressful weeks of planning. Then, on our wedding day, Simi blew us alway. He has an amazing eye and he captured the tone of our wedding day perfectly. We already got the pictures back and they are stunning. They look like they could be right out of a magazine. I knew that they would were beautiful, but it is awesome to hear form so many other friends, family (and random people on Facebook) how absolutely stunning they are. I could not be happier with choosing Simi to be our photographer for our wedding day. I would HIGHLY recommend Simi- if I could rate him higher that 5 stars, I definitely would. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Simi!!! Jill & Ben

rtable and took photos that captured us as a couple. I felt that our photos were really authentic to us, which was important to me. He was always quick to respond to emails or any questions I had, and was the only vendor that didn't laugh at us for booking so early! When it came to the wedding photos, I was clear that the most important thing to me was candid shots and that I wanted to spend as little time as possible posing for photos. He definitely delivered on what was important to us! I even saw on his Facebook page that he scouted out the venue before hand which really impressed me. The portrait photos were stunning and he really took advantage of the natural word around us and captured the rain and fall colors beautifully. I was amazed when looking through the photos afterwards, because he captured so many tender moments, but I don't remember seeing him during the reception at all! I would highly recommend Simi to any bride and groom, especially those getting married in a beautiful setting! If you're looking to capture the emotions of the day (and there are many!) Simi is great at it! I wouldn't hesitate to work with him in the future for any photo needs we have.

ctively, and managed to get a group photo of almost every guest at our reception. He was never in the way of what was going on, but captured the whole thing. The photos turned out to be beautiful. We couldn't be happier, and would recommend Simi to anyone.

han other professional photographers. He made us feel very comfortable, which is great because often taking staged/wedding photos can be uncomfortable. In the end our pictures came out beautifully. Simi was great! We both highly recommend him.

ses. The photos he took around Boston came out amazing and we used a few for our save the date. I was very comfortable with Simi taking pictures of me, my bridal party and my family as we got ready. We did a first look and he made sure he got all the pictures we wanted, which really made us feel like we had personalized wedding photography. During the ceremony and reception you could barely tell he was there. He took so many great candid photos of us and our guests! The turnaround of the photos was quick and the quality was outstanding. We are very glad we chose Simi to be our photographer and we highly recommend him for your special event.

ured every magical moment. The photos came out truly amazing! Highly recommended! His work is amazing!

is ability to capture special candid moments throughout a wedding. We don't love being photographed and posing for photos so it was nice to work with a photographer who can take amazing candids so we could enjoy our entire night and not worry about posing all night. Simi is also a really hard worker and a delight to work with—he listened to everything we requested and even took a ride all the way down to our church and venue a week before our wedding to scope out the area. Our wedding was in the dead of winter and there was SO much snow everywhere so we weren’t expecting to take any pictures outside-- however Simi knew exactly where to go and we were able to take many gorgeous pictures outside. We can’t get over how great our pictures are and smile every time we look at them. You will not be disappointed if you choose Simi to photograph your wedding!

otojournalist Association's (WPA) list of photographers, and Simi's photographs stood out as some of the most striking and beautiful, in our minds beating out much more expensive photographers' photos. We met with him soon afterwards and discovered he is not only a terrific photographer, but also a really nice and down-to-earth guy. He offered us a complimentary engagement photo session as a chance for us to get to know each other. Needless to say, the engagement pictures turned out amazing, and we were excited to have him for our wedding. On our wedding day, Simi was prompt, professional, and friendly. He got all the portraits that we asked of him, and spent the rest of the time being a fly on the wall snapping tons of candid photos. Having been to many other weddings and having seen other photographers who demand a lot of attention to get their shots, it was really nice that Simi was completely unobtrusive. Clearly drawing on his experience as a nature photographer, he quietly let our magical day unfold and expertly captured it. When he sent us the photos a few weeks later, we were stunned. There were hundreds of photos, each offering a different glimpse into our wedding, and each truly spectacular. Simi is an artist, and there is a reason he is listed as one of the top photographers on the WPA's website. His photos capture some of the more delicate and raw emotions on people's faces: delight, joy, silliness, and happiness. None of the smiles were those fake ones you see people making for posed pictures. It's hard for us to figure out how one single person was able to capture so many special moments. We laugh that he must have been all over the place, yet neither we nor our parents noticed him most of the night. I could go on and on about how great Simi is, but I'll just end it at this: Simi is an incredible photographer and he'll be great for your wedding. Hire him now before he gets booked up!

amily and really captured our wedding better than I could have asked for. Our pictures were very important to us and we are so happy with them. I can't say enough good things. I would highly recommend him!!

his hand, my wife and I could not have been happier with our photos. Above all, it was a relief to know with all the stress of wedding planning that our photos were going to be top notch, professional, and treasured memories for the rest of our lives. If you are at all hesitating about working with Simi, don't. He is absolutely amazing.

I'm not very photogenic, but I loved all of them. Simi captured all of the right angles and took a ton of different angles, so I ended up with hundreds of photos that I LOVE. He's also got an eye for candids and captures people in the moment. There are so many great photos of my husband and I, and of all of our family and friends, that we love to look at. He was extremely accommodating, delivered his photos when he promised (actually we may have gotten them a little ahead of schedule) and was just all around above and beyond what I expected out of a wedding photographer. His prices are extremely reasonable given the quality of the photos! We will definitely use him in the future for other events, baby photos, etc. Oh, he also does engagement sessions so that you get a chance to know him before the wedding!

in we would be comfortable sharing our wedding day with him. Although we were initially nervous at our engagement shoot, Simi quickly made us feel at ease. On our wedding day, Simi arrived and immediately began taking pictures. Looking through the many, many photos of that night, I can't even believe he was able to capture so many amazing moments. Simi is a true professional; he always arrived to the scheduled events on time and immediately got back to me when I emailed him. I am already looking forward to having him shoot our future family!

ue to rain and other unforeseen circumstances (Thanks again Simi!). He brought Heather with him to the wedding, and everyone was very pleased with them. His wife, Judy helped with the book layout and design. I would absolutely recommend Simi to any bride in the Boston area! I could not have asked for better pictures from my wedding day!!

ding Simi captured every moment perfectly. Looking back at the photos allows us to remember each and every detail. I highly recommend Simi Rabinowitz Photo he will capture every moment and all of the emotion of your special day.

online which was much appreciated when we were anxious to see them. He was very easy to work with and I would recommend his services to any of my friends and family. He has a true artistic eye.

- and is relatively low price given the quality of his work. Since our wedding was in a beautiful historic building, his focus on architecture and setting was one of the main reasons I wanted to have him at our wedding. The only complaint I had was with the formal portraits - our group (the groomsmen especially!) could have used a little more direction. The family photos felt a little rushed and in the final pictures there are some obvious gaps in our line up. Minor stuff for someone who doesn't really care about the formals, but in the end I wished we had spent a little more time and had a little more direction as to our positioning. Photos are available online soon after the wedding and you can order (expensive) photos from the website. I ordered a few as gifts but mostly waited until I got a disk with all the images about 3 months after the wedding. The waiting was hard, but now we plan to order a number of prints from Kodak or another such retailer for much less. Simi's wife Judy acted as an assistant at our wedding and both she and Simi were utter professionals. Judy puts together the albums and we are saving up for one! Wedding books are expensive but her prices were better than others we looked at. Based on the samples we saw, we know it will be gorgeous. I highly recommend Simi.
