Studio 1 Photography & Film

the whole day. You can tell he really loves what he does and has a true talent for photography using his eye and creativity to capture the most amazing shots. His partners in crime were Jeff (additional photographer) and David (videography). They all went above & beyond our expectations, literally risking their lives to capture certain shots. We couldn’t have asked for a better team for us, and we can’t wait to see how it all came out when our final photos & video are ready!!

e chose them, we also used Studio1 for video I can’t wait to see that too! You cannot go wrong choosing Studio1 for your wedding, they’re incredible!

- which was perfect! He knew the park like the back of his hand and directed us perfectly to each of the best picture locations in the park- lots of different sceneries in just 1 hour- gardens, old stone castles, stairs, arches, etc. and told us how to pose and the pictures came out incredible!! I’ll go on to say- Wow! Our wedding photographer, Ricky, was the best! Pure genius. The photographer is such a big part of your wedding day, with you every minute- you want to make sure they have a great personality as well and make you feel great, and that was Ricky. Ricky also made sure the schedule ran smoothly- he was incredible! Our hair and makeup ran an hour over the expected time, and Ricky actually anticipated this during my coordination with him before the wedding, and asked me what I’d want cut/ what are my must have shots if something like that happened, and was so good at following through with that, checking in with me at each stage. He also knew my venue, Glen Island Harbour Club, so well- better than me, and I had gone to the venue many times while looking, and for tastings, preparation, etc. He knew about a spot behind the building I had never seen and it was perfect for pictures in the morning and made everyone say “wow”. Ricky also worked with me in the preparation to give me honest feedback about what was too many shots/ locations for our time to manage my expectations perfectly so I was not surprised at all on the day, and very happy with the amount we got through. Also, during photos- he made sure I looked good- it was a windy day morning and my hair was blowing and he told me if I needed to fix my hair, or if my jaw was too tense, which I dearly appreciated to make sure I looked my best for these precious photos. He was outstanding!! We got so many compliments from friends and family about him and his mannerisms too to make the picture taking fun. Our videographer, David was also outstanding. He arrived early to introduce himself and directed me perfectly. He was always there throughout the 10hr day and was excellent. Our video arrived months earlier than expected and they captured everything perfectly! We are so pleased we chose Studio 1 and highly recommend them.

We took pictures prior and during the day. During sundown, they both convinced us to go outside and we ended up getting some great shots. We were so thankful to have received all our pictures/video less than a month after. The videos (highlight, trailer, and film) were all tremendous, we watched them more times than can count. The quality was amazing and we were able to pick our favorite songs to go with it. Watching them allowed us to re-live the day and recall things in a different way. Peter absolutely killed it. The pictures were great, too. Some had awkward angles and shadows, but with some cropping and rotating, we were still able to use most of them. I do wish they got a shot of the back of my wedding dress, as the train and veil were long & dramatic, but luckily I had guests that captured. We also didn't get many pictures of our guests, which could be nice to see down the line. I had to make sure certain shots were being taken (i.e., first look with dad), which was difficult for myself as the bride in navigating, without taking from my day. Nevertheless, studio 1 did a good job of capturing every single moments of our big day, and we are thankful.

in certain places and was ignored. I wanted to go onto the balcony as the venue allowed and he told us no and just took a photo of us from behind it. The venue had so many great spaces for photos which is why we chose it but unfortunately our photographer decided to mostly take photos in the bridal suite and front steps. There were no detail shots taken of our rings, invitations. There’s 2 photos of the bridal party. We waited 7 weeks to get our photos back and we’re so surprised at the quality of photos we got back. There’s shadows of the photographer on my wedding dress in some photos. Your wedding photos are really your greatest memory of your day and we were lucky we had family who captured our first kiss photo since the photographer did not. My advice is to meet with the photographer you choose in person and do a prior shoot with them to make sure their quality is what matches their social media because that was not true in our experience.

with the difficult logistics of our venue (we got married at a ski resort where guests were required to take the lift - so there was a lot of moving around different locations). Ricky made me feel calm and heard and was incredible working with guests to get shots. Melanie was with my husband and his groomsmen getting ready and they said she was incredible and organized. She was a great help running through the shot list to ensure everything was captured for portraits and was very personable. Every photo that we saw studio1 posted on their socials from our wedding was absolutely amazing and we cannot wait to receive our full gallery. If we could rate the videography team separately, we would have rated them about 4 stars, but we didn't feel it would be fair to rate the photography team lower than 5 stars due to the amazing job they did as a whole. The videography team could have been a little better/more organized with their communication and it didnt feel like they were one cohesive team. When the video team arrived, I had never met them and they were not clear in communicating what they were doing, however we felt we received great coverage which is another reason why we didn't want to rate the team lower than five stars. We also only asked for one videographer, so we were shocked when we received 2 additional folks and were concerned about the overlap (while we were ecstatic to get more coverage - we wish it would have been communicated to us because we were stressed about tips as our envelopes were already prepared!). One thing to note, it seemed like although Ricky was running the show (which he was absolutely amazing at) sometimes the video team was clashing for coverage with photographers, but overall, i would not change anything, just encourage a smooth hand off with all vendors to make sure everyone is on the same page. I fully recommend studio1, especially Ricky and Melanie despite the videography discrepancies. Everyone was great - cannot wait to get the final footage!

d a vision with each picture that we took, so that we were able to get the perfect shot. We were even able to see a preview of the pictures and we are obsessed with them!

re the best they could be. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with Studio 1!

It was a little concerning when our best man had to approach the photographers a couple times to make sure they were getting pictures of him with the groom and also some random shots during the reception. Also, I sent the photographer multiple pictures of the vibe/style we were going for and it doesn’t seem he took that in to account while doing photos of the groom and I or the bridal party. We’ve heard amazing things about this company and they did seem knowledgeable during each picture take so we are excited to see our photos and videos with in the next few months.

ng we did. We cannot thank them enough for everything that they have done for us! Can’t wait for the pictures!!

uch great care of us and made us feel so calm and so beautiful the entire night! My husband can’t stop talking about how awesome Jeff was to get ready with - Jeff made him feel like they were old friends. Lenny found the most amazing first look spot and secret gorgeous spots around the property for our photos, we cannot wait to see how they turned out! Lenny even was laying flat on his stomach in the sand on the beach to get our pictures perfect! We were beyond impressed, a true class act and a wonderful team of professionals! We are so grateful! Thank you so much!

events. They were so GREAT the day of, and worked incessantly side by side to get the best shots possible! Ricky IS SUCH A CREATIVE/TALENTED/INCREDIBLE/KIND photographer! He was so on time, and seemed to know my schedule more than I even did, ensuring that everything went according to plan at all times! My husband hates taking photos, but Ricky made us feel so comfortable throughout the day, and shot every single detail that I could have ever wanted - whether posed or un-posed! He is unlike any photographer I have ever met, crawling on the floor, lifting curtains, and doing every single stunt just to get the perfect shot! His creativity baffled us, where amazing sceneries and backgrounds were created even when there was none to behold! Not to mention, we got our photos so quickly (2 weeks after the wedding), I definitely was not expecting that. We can't wait to see our video as well! If you're thinking of studio 1, just GO WITH THEM, don't even think it! They are the absolute best!!! Top-notch, very communicative, creative, professional and super-friendly! I don't think you can ever go wrong, no matter which photographer/videographer you get from their team! THANK YOU, STUDIO 1, AND RICKY, FOR MAKING OUR WEDDING PHOTOS SO SPECIAL!

ve time. Fast forward months later, they still pulled through! The photographers followed all state protocols, keeping themselves, the bridal party, and the guests safe. They listened to what kind of photos we wanted and truly captured the most intimate, candid moments of the micro-party we had. They were also great fun to work with! When the photographer arrived at the bride's location, everyone was dancing to music in excitement and he jumped right in with us when he came through the door! Everyone knew it was going to be an amazing day at that moment. The turnaround time for receiving the finished photos was within a few weeks and we loved ALL of them. It was truly the best day ever and every time I look back at the amazing photos, I relive that day over and over! Highly recommended for any bride!!

day under control. When my now husband and I met Mike for our engagement shoot, we both felt like we had known him forever! He was just so easy to talk to and to top it off he is AMAZING at his job. The day of our wedding, Mike was with the bridal party and Dom was with the groomsmen and both Mike and Dom gave us the most amazing pics we could have asked for. We can't wait for the wedding video to come in!!

om, Mike, & Pete made it happen! They are an extremely talented team!

and the vistas.

ingle special moment. Domenick also did our engagement shoot last July and those pictures came out amazing too!!! Highly recommend using him! Thanks Domenick!!!

apturing all of the big moments and special details on our wedding day. He was easy to work with and gave just the right amount of directions on where to stand, how to hold the bouquet, etc. We opted to not do a first look and Domenick did an awesome job of taking our photos together during cocktail hour while still giving us some time to enjoy our cocktail hour. The turnaround to get our photos after our wedding was fast and they were easy to download! We can't wait to get our album next!!

e complaint would be that they were contracted for 10 hrs and left early so there were some moments missed. With that said, we hired Studio 1 for our video and photo booth as well. The night of the wedding, I grabbed some of my girlfriends to take a picture in the photo booth only to find out that it wasn't working. My husband and I did not get any photos in the photo booth that we paid for, we did not get any of the print outs from anyone who was able to take pictures prior to it breaking down (most couples get a book of all the print outs), and when I addressed this after the wedding it was never resolved. The video was nothing like I expected. We received the trailer in December 2018 and we loved it, we thought the video would have the same look and feel. It absolutely did not. We were told the videographer plugs into the sound system to get the best audio quality. Absolutely not true, after the first 10 mins that is put to music and we love, it is an hour of unedited video, you can hear everyone talking, it makes it sound like the music wasn't loud enough. It is not clips put together thoughtfully, it is just the camera rolling for however long. Key moments were missed, again maybe because everyone left early. Video/photo arrived at 1-1:30pm and our wedding was over by 10pm so it is unclear to me why neither the videographers or photographers were not there until 10pm. I brought up all of these concerns, I was told by the video editor that what I wanted was not possible, I was told that I would get something to make up for the photo booth and the disappointing video and it never came to fruition. I hate writing a bad review, in most cases I swallow my frustration and move on. However, this was my once in a lifetime wedding and to not have these issues addressed is very very disappointing.

st conversation, I knew our search was over. Mike is one of the most personable people I had met throughout the planning process. As a couple who’s rarely in front of a camera, we didn’t have many pictures together, so we also booked an engagement shoot. We weren’t shocked at how amazing the photos were, more so that we were the couple in them. As we got closer to the wedding day, our stress levels were through the roof, but neither one of us were stressed about the pictures. Mike and Jeff did an amazing job that day, we couldn’t be happier with our choice in hiring Studio 1.

ut he was available for a check in call to calm my nerves whenever it was needed. We felt he went above and beyond for our wedding. He is professional, but relaxed. Domenick takes advantage of natural moments and doesn't try to force any poses - I was extremely happy to never hear him utter the phrase "now make a silly face." My husband & I will be recommending Domenick and Studio 1 to everyone we know!

rought so much ease to the day. Every single photo that I would have wanted, we got. I would highly recommend Domenick & Studio 1 Photography. Thank you for capturing the most important day of our lives!

to cherish forever. We could never thank you both enough for all the hard work you put into our wedding day and to our engagement shoot. As a wedding vendor myself, it was also so nice to have professional photos taken of the signs I made for my own wedding day. Dom was always available through the entire planning process to answer my questions and ease my mind when it came to the day of timeline and what types of photos we wanted. It was so easy to trust him to do his best and make sure we got exactly what we wanted (and more!) out of a wedding photographer. We couldn’t recommend Studio 1 enough. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!

much we enjoyed working with Dom and Mike. So, many guest have told me that they never felt the need to take pictures at the wedding because every time they thought about taking a picture Dom or Mike were right their already capturing the moment. This to me is the best compliment because we truly wanted our guests to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about a single thing; Dom and Mike helped make that possible. Thank you!!

captured is obviously something every wedding couple prioritizes, and Lenny made our “job” both as easy and stress-free as possible. He got all the shots we wanted and never made it seem like we were rushing through or missing anything important. We know that everything we wanted to commemorate from start to finish was captured by his lens, and based on the long-exposure shot he showed us later on in the evening, we are beyond excited and can’t wait to see how beautifully the rest of the shots and the wedding album turn out! We would 100% recommend Lenny/Studio 1 for anyone looking for a wedding photographer, as he did an amazing job from start to finish and really helped make our wedding as special as we hoped it would be!
