Studio 1 Photography & Film

y… studio 1 was professional & caring. I knew that I needed a photographer and videographer that worked well together, especially for when I was getting ready at my house with my mom and sister. Ricky was our photographer, and from our first of many conversations before the big day I knew that he would have such an artful and beautiful way to photograph us at home. I knew it would be a very emotional morning being that my father had passed away last year. I explained to them that we may have to take time to stop and breathe and possibly fix a make up before moving on to the next picture. He assured me that I would be OK and that the pictures would come out great. Ricky, the additional photographer and videographer were exactly what we needed on our big day. The group shots with the bridal party, photos with our family and all the special moments were captured with no interruptions to our day! Ricky was so dedicated to getting the best shot possible, he didn’t just focus on me and my husband. He made sure that everyone in the bridal party looked their best in the photo … most photographers just snap away and don’t really pay attention to the whole picture . Now let’s fast forward to after the wedding… we received our photos in less than two weeks!!!! And they were all amazing! Having such a hard time, picking out which photos to use for our thank you cards because there are so many great shots to choose from! We haven’t received her videos yet, but if they come out even half as good as the photos did, I will be one happy bride! If you want a chill yet, genius, photography and videography team for your big day, call studio 1. ❤️

ails and wouldn't stop until he got the best shots. Lenny listened to our thoughts and completely nailed our vision- not to mention made us laugh the entire time! Special thank you to Lauren & Toni-Marie for being so kind and patient with us throughout the booking process. They both were quick to answer our questions and made us feel comfortable and confident that our ideas and vision was heard. I would 10/10 recommend this company to anyone planning their wedding!

professional and communicative, which remained throughout the whole process. My husband and I scheduled our engagement shoot in October and when we were assigned a photographer, we couldn’t find a common time to meet him for the shoot. Once this was brought back to Laurens attention, she quickly found us a new photographer within a few days, our shoot was booked. Victoria was the photographer for our engagement shoot and she was incredible! She knew all of the right poses and angles and was familiar with the area we were in. You could tell she was very passionate, she even laid on her back at one point to get the perfect shot! Victoria sent us a sneak peak the next day and we were so excited to get the rest. We did have to reach out a few times to see when our pictures would be ready due to being on a time crunch with getting our save the dates out, Lauren understood and was able to get our pictures from the editing team soon after. Our pictures came out great, I just wish they more touch ups of blemishes and fly aways. For our wedding day, we had the pleasure of working with Lenny. We were told from the start that he was one of the best, and they were not wrong! Lenny arrived thirty minutes before schedule and while myself and bridesmaids were still getting ready, Lenny took the time to perfect the detail shots. Lenny made his vision very clear throughout the whole day and was very direct on every pose and placement. It was reassuring that Lenny was familiar with our venue West Hills Country Club, so he knew all of the best spots for pictures. We also had two videographers working the day of our wedding, (I wasn’t aware that we would have two) one worked mainly with a camera and the other worked with the drone. When the videographers arrived, it seemed like they all weren’t aware they would be working together. But once everything got started, Lenny and team did a good job of taking turns on who would shoot before moving locations. It has been 5 weeks since our wedding day and have only seen a sneak peak of our pictures, but so far they look incredible and we cannot wait to see the rest!

eview pictures are out of this world and we can't wait to see the entire gallery and the video! Thank you for your hard work!

e asked for, made everyone feel comfortable and had us laughing 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!!

y were so organized day of and kept us all moving. I’m so glad we 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!

nd Massimo worked with my vision and recommended Fort Tryon park- 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.

apture. They were timely on the day of and got straight to work! 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.

pher was our photographer, he was very nice. I asked for photos 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.

, I wanted folks I could trust and they freaking nailed it even 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!

process easy and painless. I loved that he took his time and had 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!

collected. They helped us relax, and loosen up so our photos were the best they could be. You won’t be disappointed if you choose to work with Studio 1!

arrival time (she did show up in time to get their shots done). 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.

ted disk and they made sure he always felt comfortable in anything we did. We cannot thank them enough for everything that they have done for us! Can’t wait for the pictures!!

he start of the day we immediately felt comfortable. They took such 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!

d), reached out to me well in advance to discuss our timeline of 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!

ting and understanding during what was such a stressful, sensitive 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!!

ke with Mike I felt so comfortable that he would have the whole 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!!

es!! Lol I had a very specific vision for my wedding pics, and Dom, Mike, & Pete made it happen! They are an extremely talented team!

the outdoors, and Studio 1 got some beautiful shots of the park and the vistas.

grapher. He made sure our day went smoothly and captured every single special moment. Domenick also did our engagement shoot last July and those pictures came out amazing too!!! Highly recommend using him! Thanks Domenick!!!

e, during, and after our wedding day. He did an amazing job of capturing 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!!

photographer, we were very happy with him and our photos. My one 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.

with each of them. When we walked into Studio 1 and had the first 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.

I have ever seen for both our wedding and engagement sessions, but 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!

commotion the day of the wedding and I definitely feel that he brought 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!

the ones that provided us with the photos that we will be able 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!!!

ined! Words cannot express how much we love our photos and how 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!!

trust in his photography talents! Making sure each moment gets 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!

r photos came out. Dom made us feel extremely comfortable while taking photos. They handled my two nieces perfectly as they were a bit shy to take some photos. I couldn't be more thankful for all of their hard work and dedication. It wasn't even three weeks and we had our photos, we couldn't believe it. I highly recommend Studio 1 Photography.

y and comfortable, we had a few minor hiccups and without Michael I would have never been so calm!! He immediately helped me find solutions to fix the situation. I can not thank them enough for helping make our day PERFECT!!!!

e made me and my fiance so comfortable, which made for even better pictures. They captured every moment I had hoped for and even more. Our day was so special all thanks to studio 1! I recommend them if you want your special day to be better than you ever imagined.

ot thank them enough for all they did. They are so professional, friendly and wonderful people to work with. Major shout out to mike for being awesome.

. They made sure to answer any and every question I had! The wedding day and night went off without a hitch because they took the time to make sure everything was perfect! The dance floor was packed all night and guests couldn’t stop raving about the music! We also had a sneak peek at our wedding pictures just a few days later, which was an awesome surprise on our honeymoon! Even after the wedding day, Sonny and Domenick were great at answering any questions we had and making sure that we were able to get our pictures and video as soon as possible! They both are fantastic and know how to make your wedding day absolutely perfect! Thank you Next Generation and Studio1!

f your wedding is evident when working with these photographers. Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Studio 1 capturing it truly made it special. They are reliable and extremely talented at what they do! If you book Studio 1, you know you will have the best day along with the best photographers you could ever ask for. Thank you Mike and Dom!

orkers/bridesmaids decided to do some research for me lol. We came across Studio 1 and we both were loving the pictures we saw. I sent them an email and got a response right away. Since they were a little bit of a hike for me, I did a phone conference with Mike. I was impressed with everything he said. He was the first photographer to shoot it to me straight and be honest about what i do and don;t need the day of my wedding in regards to photo and video. He worked with my budget and booked him a few days later. Of course I had my doubts becuase we booked without actually meeting and I didnt know anyone else who used them. I continued to follow them on social media and watching every wedding they posted i just felt more confidence in my choice. Fast forward to the two weeks before I talked with Domenick. It was great to talk to him and he eased any anxiety i had and answered every annoying question I had. The morning of Dom and Eric (video) came to my mom's house while Mike went to my mother in laws house. I instantly felt comfortable with Dom and Eric, like i knew them forever. Once we all meet up for more photos i felt the same with Mike. We all vibed and it was amazing. They made sure to get every shot i requested and more! i am so grateful i put my trust in them. THEY DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! My pictures came back within two weeks and i was blown away. I had so many people compliment how amazing the photographers were at the wedding and how nice they were. i highly recommend them and i will always continue to! i can not thank them enough for the amazing job they did!!!!!

to recreate our entire wedding with their photographs. They were so easy to work with, professional and guided us throughout the process. They were very responsive when I had a million questions and extremely prompt with giving me all of my photos after the wedding. Couldn't have been happier with Studio 1 !

y which is exactly what we needed. The day of was incredible and we're so glad Mike and Dom were there- everybody (wedding party, guests, parents) complimented on how they were both so fun and courteous and were everywhere, capturing everything. The finished photos are so much more than we imagined and they captured our absolute favorite moments.

tact person for the whole wedding was Mike (photographer) and he was so knowledgeable and helpful. I don't know what I would have done without him! He answered all my questions, even the ones that didn't pertain to the photography portion of the wedding. His guidance really helped keep me calm, cool, and collected throughout the whole process, planning to wedding day. I worked with Mike and Lenny the day of and they were great. Several of my guests commented at the wedding about how awesome and professional they were. The photos came back and are phenomenal. I am so happy that I chose Studio 1. Everyone should use them too!!

mfortable. They have such passion and energy with what they do and it makes taking photos so easy. We did do an engagement shoot and Michael was so amazing he made us feel so good since we were a little awkward at first. By the time the wedding came we were like pros at it. They were so professional from the time i called to the minute they left. We saw our sneak peak photos and let me tell you they look AMAZING!!! I can't thank Michael enough for always answering my emails right away and making this process so exciting and easy for us. We also used their Film and the guys were also amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend Studio one and Film to anyone who is looking for AMAZING guys to work with and AMAZING photos! Thank you!!!!!

the engagement shoot, to the wedding- everything was perfect. The day of the wedding, Dom and his crew were so organized and really exceeded our expectations- I can’t even begin to explain how thankful we are for their amazing work. He is so extremely talented and really knows how to capture every moment. He listened to everything we wanted and went above and beyond. The amount compliments we have received from our photos is astounding. I highly recommend Studio 1!!

ling the least bit intrusive. They had a true passion for finding the best angles, and weren’t afraid to be creative. We truly couldn’t be happier with the pictures and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer!

we want because there are so many that we love! They made everyone feel comfortable and they fit right in with our bridal party - we all had a great time! Thank you for making our wedding that much more special!

is so knowledgeable and has an eye for creative, unique pictures. From the minute we met you could tell Dom was passionate about his job and really tries to get to know a couple. He was not pushy or overselling, and so genuinely nice. Although it rained the entire day, he was still able to capture the most beautiful photos, including a few rain shots that were unbelievable. He is incredibly detailed and photographs all the important candid moments!! Dom was recommended to me by 3 different people and I will continue to recommend Studio 1 to anyone I can!!

ions from experiences with other weddings and clients. We paid for the video as a gift for my brother and they took forever to get a reply back. Would tell others to shop around and see how you like other vendors first.
