I wish we did not use this company for our wedding in 2016. We met Joe from 21 Moments at a wedding show in Pittsburgh and he seemed amazing (charismatic and his photographs were beautiful). We booked 21 Moments and the night before the wedding someone from the company called to tell us Joe could not photograph our wedding because his baby had scratched his eye. (You'll notice this same excuse was provided to one of the other reviewers on this page.) They sent two other photographers who, although they did an okay job, did not seem at all familiar with our shot list or requests. 21 Moments had previously agreed to send us a CD with all our pictures. When I asked for them to send it, they said it would be $16. This service was part of the contract and they refused to honor it. I tried to check the original contract only to realize they had never emailed me a copy. I gave 21 Moments the benefit of the doubt throuh all this until I discovered a website that revealed photographers who plagiarized the work of others. 21 Moments is featured on this website. Not only did they steal beautiful photos to drum up business, but they stole reviews too in order to seem like a reputable business.

DO NOT USE!!! I could not get a hold of them a week before my wedding and had to book another vendor because I was not sure if they would show up. I was called 2 weeks prior to my wedding from a private number and spoke to a Joe who told me to send a list of family pictures I wanted him to take. When I sent an email to the email address I previously used and that was listed on the website, it bounced back and said it was undeliverable. Thinking I just misspelled the email address, I went to their website to find out that it was no longer available. Also- when I called the number I was using to get a hold of them, it was no longer in service. Like any bride, I started to freak out and tried any way to get a hold of this company. I went to the address that was listed on the contract only to find out it wasn't a company office it was only where they picked up their mail. I started to do some research on this company and found out they have been sued multiple times and change their name to avoid bad reviews. They used to go by 21 moments and many other names and have complaints on BBB. When I finally got a hold of "Joe", who called from a private number, he called me crazy and bi-polar which probably would make me upset if I didn't already read a review where a bride said he said the same things to her. If you look at all the reviews, most of them are good because I have learned if you post a bad review you will get a letter in the mail saying he will sue you because he is a lawyer. Also- most of the reviews are taken from other sources. The website below has all the proof.

I suggest you stay far away from this company!
Absolutely, 100% DISSATISFIED. I would never ever write a negative review for a business unless I truly felt I needed to do so; 21 moments was SO terrible, I feel they warrant my negative review. 21 moments was absolutely HORRIBLE in every way possible for my wedding. We got married at seven springs resort and wanted to hide the ceiling ducts. We just wanted to use 21 moments for just the ceiling draping. We made this PERFECTLY clear to Joe, the consultant/lawyer/business owner, and what we got was not even close. He showed us pictures from Pinterest (I thought I had it pinned before, and now looking back, I did) and claimed it as his work. He swore he knew exactly what we wanted and ensured us it would be perfect. He tried to sell us other options of draping, but I was set on the one picture, since this is what he showed us. He boasted about knowing the venue and knowing exactly what we meant. We both talked about how it would be "tent-like" and cover the ceiling. It came wedding time and I was floored by how pathetic the draping was for how much we paid and what we were promised. We paid thousands of dollars for a few strips of shear cloth on the ceiling. I would never have spent that much for something if I knew it wouldn't cover the ceiling!! That's the only reason we even wanted draping. They setup on Thursday and we saw the room Friday. We called 21 moments so many times Friday to plead with them to fix it before the wedding and we couldn't even get a returned call until the wedding day. We even had our wedding planner text him because we were that disgusted with how it looked!! Saturday their receptionist, or some random lady, called us back to state that she couldn't help us. 21 moments claims to only book one wedding a weekend so that they can dedicate their time and attention to you; that is obviously a lie because they were in Ohio on our wedding day. This matter ended in court since there was nothing but neglect and disrespect after we had paid for this service. We were accused of " just wanting our money back" after the fact, even though we tried to have it fixed. We saved forever to afford the "perfect" wedding, and couldn't even get respect at a minimum from them, let alone what we paid for. Please beware-- months later and I still feel as though we were scammed and taken advantage of regarding their services. I wouldn't recommend their services to anyone, ever, for any service they offer. If you want a perfect, stress-free wedding, I HIGHLY recommend avoiding 21 moments at all costs.
I never write reviews. But 21 Moments did such a great job on our wedding day it's hard not to rave about their work. They exceeded all our expectations. They were extremely easy going and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera all day. Even our wedding party and guests commented on how great our photographer was - BEFORE they saw the photos! We received our photos last week and as expected, they're amazing! These are photos we'll cherish forever and we're so glad to have hired them as our photographer.
Thank you 21 Moments!
The 21 Moments team is incomparable in the realm of photography. They don't just provide what I believe is the best photography I have ever seen, but they become friends and give you the feeling of being a part of your extended family. They will cater to your every need. The time we spent with them taking our pictures leading up to the wedding as well as on our special day, was some of the most fun parts of our memories! Our Bridal party and family agree! Our candid pictures from our engagement shoot as well as our wedding are unlike anything I have ever seen or could even dream up, they truly capture every moment of your most special day. This is the best money we spent on our wedding! Photographers to the stars have nothing on 21 Moments!
Thanks to 21 Moments, our wedding day was smooth, fun and stress-free. My husband and I had a great time and our photos and video turned out phenomenal. If you’re looking forward for photographers who's experienced with angles and lights and know how to bring out the beauty/glam in you naturally, these are THE GUYS you can trust and feel comfortable with. One word to describe 21 Moments is EPIC!
21 Moments rocks! Talking about a true artist. My photographer did great work in keeping things rolling while capturing important moments of the day. I couldn't ask for anything more from someone who now I call a friend! THANK YOU!!! Highly recommend!
We searched and searched for the perfect photographer. We finally selected 21 Moments and they are the BEST! We wanted someone who was very creative to do whatever they wanted. We gave them complete artistic freedom and they were totally amazing! We had a wonderful day!! We just got the pictures and we are sooooooooo happy with them. They are phenomenal, we can't give them enough stars! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!
I highly recommend 21 Moments! They were amazing and our photos and video were gorgeous. Our photographer and videographer spoke with me several times before the wedding and were so patient and helpful in going through details and answering my many questions with thought and care. They kept things moving but were also calming and warm on the big day. The pictures and video are so beautiful and captured the day perfectly. And they came back very quickly! Highly highly recommend!
We hired 21 Moments for our wedding and it was the best decision we could have made. I cannot begin to describe how pleasant 21 Moments was to work with. They are so professional and SO GOOD at what they do. When I was looking for a photographer (we got video too) I looked all over. I looked online and found the 21 Moments website. From the moment I saw some of their sample photos I told my husband, "WE HAVE TO HAVE THEM!!" They have thought of everything to make the entire process as easy as possible for the bride and groom. They were so on top of things with the photography and videography and our timeline that it was a stress-free day! We got along great with our photographer too! Plus, our photos are breathtaking. Our sunset photos are literally the best photos that I have EVER seen!!! EVER!!! It's no wonder 21 Moments is the most popular Pittsburgh wedding photography company. They are simply the best and I'd hire them again in a second!! Thank you 21 Moments so much for all of your work and effort. I will be referring you to everyone I know!
We feel truly honored to have had 21 Moments with us on our wedding day to capture the magic and beauty of our love. To the 21 Moments team, we cannot express to you how overjoyed we are at the moments you captured. You saw so many things we didn’t see and reminded us of the many things we’ll never forget. We have been unable to choose just one favorite as they all make us laugh and cry. You truly exceeded our expectations. I guess the highest compliment would be for us to tell you that if we had it to do over again, we would choose you every time! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
"Your pictures are AMAZING!" is what I hear from everyone who sees our engagement and wedding photos. Our entire experience with 21 Moments was simply flawless!! From the initial consultation, to the actual event, and even the post-production work; 21 Moments is absolutely top notch! I cannot stress enough how professional they are. The website where they post your photos is great to share with family and friends and you get the rights to the photos afterwards so you can make prints, enlargements, etc.
Also, we were very impressed with the videographers! They were very professional and worked really well with our photographer, which of course, is essential! They worked hard throughout the day to make sure they captured every moment! The day was such a blur and I'm so glad that we will have our wedding video to remember every moment. 21 Moments was the reason we have beautiful lifelong memories of our wedding day!
Look no further for your photography and videography needs - 21 Moments is impeccable!
Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous! We loved all the pictures we received, and could not be more pleased with how many beautiful shots that 21 Moments captured. We had a wide variety of locations (gorgeous hotel, downtown, church, overlook, reception venue with lots of photo opps, etc.)-- the variety truly showed in the photos and I am so happy we captured all of the shots I had envisioned, from ones with our dog, quintessential downtown photos, a sparkler photo that turned out amazingly perfect, etc. Our two photographers had the perfect demeanor for a wedding photographer: they were kind and laid back, but also firm when they needed to be, such as getting guests lined up efficiently for family photos or moving clutter out of the way for getting ready pics, etc. All day they came across as the kindest people in the world while simultaneously getting everything accomplished (kudos to that!). They were also creative and complimentary during the photos, so everyone from us to the bridal party/family felt like they looked great, so they were happy to oblige in all of the creative poses! I put so much effort into the wedding details (and there were a ton of them!) and am happy to say 100% of them were captured. I seriously am in love with so many of our photos and am so pleased with how they turned out. We have a great mix of timeless photos, candid shots, and creative/fun/unique photos (no cheesy ones which is also great!) I thank 21 Moments wholeheartedly. They were awesome!
We cannot say enough about the experience we had with 21 Moments. They were extremely kind, flexible and respectful. We had been to weddings where photographers or videographers were intrusive and we wanted someone a lot more inconspicuous - 21 Moments exceeded our expectations. Also, we didn’t have much time inbetween the ceremony and reception. We completed all of our portraits-- large family shots at the church within 20 minutes and shots around the city all in less than an hour. AMAZING! 21 Moments truly captured the emotion and fun of our day. We were able to enjoy this experience and now have all the memories to view! I got so many wonderful compliments about my photos on Facebook! LOVE THEM!!
You could tell that our DJ was not only great at what he does, but also really enjoys what he does. We had a few requests, song dedications and some songs we wanted played and he did everything we asked then pretty much ran with it from there. He played a nice variety of music and read the dance floor really well! We received a lot of great feedback on the music which really meant a lot to us. I would, without hesitation, recommend to everyone!
We adore 21 Moments! We met with several photographers and DJs but should have just quit after meeting the 21 Moments team because they truly are the best! Right away they make you feel like you are family. So kind and thoughtful, they really care about you and that continued through planning, engagement pictures, the wedding day and even afterwards in helping to design the photo album. Engagement pictures were so much fun and a great chance to practice and get used to being photographed. The wedding day was like a well oiled machine! They made it look effortless with all the maneuvering and organizing of a gazillion people in the bridal party along with extended family and parents. They were so enthusiastic, happy and sweet and went to the ends of the earth for us. To say our pictures are amazing would be the understatement of a lifetime. I adore them!!! It's the perfect mix of traditional with some artsy creative ones and candid moments as well. We got all our pictures from the wedding less than a MONTH after! I couldn't believe how fast they were! In addition to photo and DJ, we also did uplighting, photobooth (which is always a great time - cute props and the most beautiful photo album with a bow on it that they put the pictures in and had guests sign) AND we did videography. The video footage comes to life and truly captures every feeling and moment of the day. We LOVE 21 Moments and would absolutely recommend them! You will not regret it! They are worth every penny and then some!
21 Moments is amazing! Their style of photography is timeless with a kick.... They were great at capturing so many great moments on our special day! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wants professional, timeless, & breathtaking wedding photos! They were worth every penny! We also had them do our wedding video. Thankfully it was NOT cheesy. We loved it!
21 Moments was amazing! I had such a great experience and the pictures turned out so great. They are very sweet but able to get everyone focused and in order quickly. They are very creative! The photos turned out so spectacular. I also got a photo booth through them. Everyone had a great time!!!
This company was great when you first met with them. Once they had your money, it was done!!! They are truly the WORST company EVER to deal with. Joe, lacks professionalism. He hung up on us many of times. Would not respond to our emails and even hung up on our attorney that we had to bring into this horrible situation. Our contract stated everything we wanted. As time went on, he changed the contract and refused to do what's the contract said that I signed. Not only did he refuse to do what was agreed on, the price would go up for less work. Luckily our wedding venue, was great to work with and felt horrible about what was taking place and paid for the difference for all the trouble he caused and completed the rest of the decorations that were in our contract themselves.
We also hired Joe for our videography. The video they show you at your consultation is not what you get. They did not edit the video at all. There was a camera man walking around and a camera set up at the dance floor. Our video contains the footage from the dance floor only. Even at times when the dance floor was empty. So all we see is our white dance floor and the videographer filming the guests. They also did not include any footage from our cocktail party. I feel anyone could have filmed they wedding better. Not only was the reception part of the video horrible, but during the ceremony, you could not see my husband since they once again only used the footage from the camera on the side. The groomsman were blocking him. They also did not include us walking down the aisle at the end of the ceremony, but had our wedding party. They missed every important detail!!!!
Lastly, we had to pay $16 for him to ship the video when the envelope said $2.74. My brother also used them sadly and he paid $14 for the video to ship and his envelope said $2.48. When I asked Joe about this he told me that all prices are the same. I said well my brothers was cheaper and then he said that prices vary. He cannot keep his lies straight.
BEWARE of this company!!!! They say the have a suite in Bethel Park...they do not! It is the UPS Store! They are a joke of a company and will ruin your day.
Very professional and they get the job done. We used them for our engagement session and love it from the start. Joe's photos are amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. I get so many compliments on the photos. I can't wait to get our album made!
We used their services for our photo booth. All our our guests said they had fantastic time in the photo booth! The props were so much fun and the staff was very friendly!
I chose 21 moments as seven springs recommended them. They were fabulous,. Very professional and their booth has an option for a video which was so much fun to see our family and friends enjoying themselves. Awesome vendor!
21moments was top notch service, quality, and value when it came to my wedding photography. Our reception venue recommended them, so I figured being from out-of-town I would give them a call and check out the website to form my own opinion.
I knew from my first phone conversation with Joe that he knew exactly what he was doing and exactly what it takes to handle a bride and her expectations. He was patient and thorough, each and every time I called - which was on quite a few occasions. Every question I had was answered, every concern I had already had a solution - because 21moments is the real deal!
Come the day of - we honestly could not have had a photography team more pleasant or easy to work with. Joe and Annette had a seamless system that kept the day moving and left us carefree! They had all the tricks mastered, knew the grounds well, and didn't miss a beat! Plus, they were friendly and fun!
To top off the great work 21moments did the day-of our wedding, they also turned the photos around at lightning speed! By the time we returned from our honeymoon, the photos had been waiting for days to be viewed - it was such a exciting thing to come home to! And every picture was truly "picture perfect!" Not one detail was overlooked! Now that I've shared the photos with family and friends, I can also add that others are impressed and wowed by everything 21moments captured, the creative ideas of the photographers, and the quality of the work!
As I am writing this I feel like I have left out so many worthy details! 21moments rocked! I know we have the photos every bride and groom hopes to have and share and cherish! I would recommend Joe and his team at 21moments to anyone! The price packages were incredibly reasonable; the ability to own the rights to your photos is a must-have; the quality of the images is first rate; the team is professional and personable; and the pictures and moments they create and capture are leaving me speechless...!
Check them out! A quick call or peek at their website will seal the deal! They do more than just photography, too. www.21moments.com
THANK YOU, Joe and Annette!!!
Our package included the photographer and his assistant, for the entire day. They were very thorough to make sure they were following the bride's and groom's wishes. They were also very personable and a ton of fun. We just got our pictures back, and I am having a tough time narrowing down what to put in the album! Their photography is gorgeous. Joe was always willing to answer our questions and to work with us to make sure everyone was satisfied. He was really friendly and my family and bridal party enjoyed working with him as well.
WOW! Choosing 21 Moments for our wedding was the best decision I made. We did a large package with them that included photography, DJ and the photobooth.
Sean (sp?, sorry), our DJ was incredible. He stuck to our must play/do not play lists. He kept the party going all night long. I received so many compliments for our DJ, which in all honestly I was confused by b/c I didn't play the amazing songs, he did. THANKS!!!
The photobooth was a blast! And it was so large, bigger than any PB I have seen at any other place. If you want large group shots comfortably, this is the one to choose. Plus, the booth has a certain swagger about it. It didn't look like an eyesore photobooth from the mall. The props were great (the Mario and Luigi hats were a huge hit) and the guestbook that we rec'd at the end was incredible.
Photography, honestly I can't say enough fantastic things about Joe. He was so great to work with. During the engagement shoot he never made us feel uncomforable for too posey. He made it simple and the pictures turned out amazing. Even for someone like myself who smiles with her eyes closed.
We just got back from our HM and our wedding pictures are already done (2 weeks!!!!!!!). They are beautiful, but honestly, there was never a doubt in my mind that they would be anything else. Joe (and Bryan is asst) were incredible at teh wedding. They dealt with pushy family members that thought they were photographers, overly excited guests (read: drunk guests) and many weird requests for certain pictures by me (I wanted to jump on the bed in my dress and funny slippers and yes the pictures were some of my favorites) all while doing it with a smile. He was a constant professional and really guides you through everything when the time comes.
Overall, if you want a perfect wedding, your first step should be booking 21 Moments for everything. I can't thank them enough for making the wedding day go by so smoothly.
21 Moments did the photography for our wedding a couple months ago and our pictures came out fantastic! In addition to great pictures, they were very easy to get in touch with, answered all of our questions promptly and completely, and on our wedding day they kept to our tight time schedule and still managed to get every picture that we wanted. They did a great job and I would highly recommend them to any other bride!!
I could not be any more pleased with the service we received from 21 Moments! The attention to detail, the thoughtfulness, and the professionalism was above and beyond what I could have hoped for. Our pictures turned out better than I imagined. I loved having them a part of my special day, and have referred them to MANY of my friends. It's silly to go anywhere else!
I just got the ink back with my pictures yesterday, and they are STUNNING. joe was easy to work with and did his best to do everything i asked for with the photos.
I choose the Premium photography package and Joe was great! We did an engagement shoot as part of the package and we will also be getting a photo book as well. Photographer was attentive and listened to what I wanted, I don't think he appreciated my location choice (an old barn in the weeds) but he did it and the pictures look great. Prints were up in a week after the wedding a another week after that the CD came. Definitely recommend!
