Tricia LaPonte Photography

11/18, post wedding, completely unsolicited review. The 4 Best points of the day: 1) Trisha and her second shooter Connie, were absolutely flexible, professional and unphased by some morning delays. Plans changed on the fly, and they were SO reassuring and helpful. They worked extremely hard to de-stress all of us, and ended up getting a ton of great pictures. The rest of the event went well after some morning issues regarding make-up and bridal hair prep not being done on time. 2) When we were on the dance floor they werent in the way. Just present (having a fun time) not intrusively in the way like you've seen some photographers/videographers. They were just this fun energy, sometimes dancing, laughing, joking... they looked like they were having a good time shooting and enjoying the wedding! At the end of the night, we couldnt think of any time where they intruded on the moment. Just took in everything through their cameras. It was really remarkable. 3) Preliminary photos we saw were outrageously good. We got a bunch of teasers back, and they made us look great! 4) Energy was positive and fun. Never pushy, very kind and directive in the way they wanted you to pose to get your best angles. Constantly adjusting clothing and making sure everything in the shot was perfect. Would give 10/10, enthusiastically recommend!!!!!!!!!!!

at makes having her as your photographer even better. Her style is just what we were looking for and she had both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures back to us in ONE WEEK! I would highly suggest Tricia to anyone who wants beautiful pictures, a professional (and fun) team, and lasting memories.

her, Connie, were, and how he was not irritated at all by the photo taking process - especially because while we knew they were there, they were not in “in your face.” Tricia and Connie were so fun to work with, the photos came out more perfect than I could have ever imagined, and the process was beyond smooth. Having been at other weddings where the photographers force stuffy type photos, and can be a little too formal, this was a welcome relief! Our faces hurt from the natural smiles, not the awkward forced ones. I would highly recommend Tricia if you are seeking a friendly, loving, passionate, talented photographer, who is going to get the most perfect shot, even if it means climbing up a rickety ladder, and will make you laugh and feel super comfortable along the way.

nd I can’t say enough great things about her!

ra. Our engagement album held 150+ photos and there wasn’t a bad one in the bunch. Tricia is a pleasure to work with, responsive, easy going, and accommodating. I wouldn’t choose anyone else!!

gagement shoot. We felt comfortable with Tricia and we were laughing the entire time. She's really committed to her work, very organized, and she responds to emails right away. She really gives you personal attention and so far she is my favorite vendor that I've chosen during my wedding planning. I know working with Tricia will be fun and smooth on our wedding day in May! Thanks Tricia!!

be way more amazing than we expected. We can't wait to see what she does with our wedding pictures next June. If we could give her a million stars we would! Thank you Tricia!

gotten taken advantage of by different vendors. From the first day I called to interview her, Tricia sat on the phone with me, answered all my questions, and really did make me feel so comfortable. I knew I was making the right choice. Her prices were right in our budget as well. We did our engagement shoot with her, and were really happy with our pictures. We were so nervous for that because neither of us had ever done a shoot before. The second we got to the beach where we met her, we were put at ease by Tricia and her second photographer. We were joking around the whole time and felt really natural. Tricia knew the right poses to put us in, and met all our requests, including using a two person bike for some pictures! Leading up to the wedding, we talked with Tricia many times, she always made herself available to us. We were able to lay out a whole timeline with her, so everyone knew exactly what was going on on the wedding day, and where we would be taking pictures. She also encouraged us to make a back up weather plan, which was good. The morning of the wedding, Tricia showed up to my house and the other photographer to where my husband was getting ready. She kinda just blended in with all the girls and was not over powering or pushy. She went with the flow and got the shots I wanted. After church, it was raining slightly, and Tricia was able to go off the plan and be flexible with us. We had our hearts set on taking pictures on the beach no matter what, and we were able to go down there and do it despite the rain. Tricia even brought a huge black umbrella with her that ended up being a great prop for photos. At the reception, Tricia got all the photos we wanted, including a lot of large group family portraits during the cocktail hour. Even when I was getting a temper, Tricia was able to keep working with a smile on her face and get the pictures we wanted. We got our pictures back quickly and are really happy with them. She got so many great pictures of us, and we would definitely recommend her as a wedding photographer. She was very easy to work with and most importantly, got us all the wedding shots we wanted. Beautiful pictures that we will look back on forever! Thank you Tricia!

ared about making our day exactly what we wanted it to be. Not only is she a wonderful person but she is an amazing photographer. After both our engagement shoot and the wedding, we got to see a couple of already finished photos just so we could see the progress. I'm so happy we found her and I wouldn't have it any other way.

t we quickly became friends, and she really helped curve our wedding planning jitters whenever we began to feel overwhelmed. Her attitude is so organized and professional that we knew we were in the best of hands! She is so balanced and able to be creative and spontaneous at the same time be in control. Our photos came out amazing; we still look at them every day so we can relive our Best Day Ever! Tricia captured the feel and attitude perfectly, with everything from prep to ceremony to reception. I 100% look forward to working with her again no matter what the occasion may be.

ays in contact with me, and responded to all of my communications same day...sometimes even same minute! LOVE THAT! She was super accommodating, and flexible, allowing me to customize my services with her. She was clear on what I could expect from her on her end as well, providing timelines, as well as some advice, and emotional support! NEEDED! Then I got to meet her and her assistant Denise the day of my wedding, and they were so kind, and respectful of what I had asked for! I had only wanted to spend a certain amount of time on my posed portraits and she made for certain that I was able to enjoy my reception, as well as spending time with my guests.THEN....we received our pictues (in like under 2 weeks BTW!) well, good grief they were STUNNING!!!! I mean honestly, more beautiful than I ever even imagined them to be in my mind. I know I am bias because they are photos of ourselves and our loved ones, but myself and everyone agrees they are some of the most gorgeous wedding pictures we have ever seen! I will cherish all of the pictures her and Denise captured that day forever! If you are having a wedding anywhere on Long Island, you absolutely must have Tricia!!! ~Amanda & Charles~ PS It will be really hard to choose which pictures you want to print because they will ALL be amazing! Tricia Laponte 4 life!!!! ;)

to have our photos taken but Tricia instantly put us at ease and made the day so much fun! Many of our favorite shots from the day were captured when we didn't even realize we were be photographed, just walking/talking.. she captured us in these special moments and the photos came out beautiful! Tricia is extremely professional and a very talented photographer. She has a great eye and we could not be happier with our photos (our families are still talking about these pictures). She will also be doing our wedding photos this Fall and we are really looking forward to her spending the day with us and cannot wait to see the pictures! I highly highly recommend her : ) Thank you Tricia! Stephanie and Jim
