After meeting with Ryan on our first visit to Abella Studios we knew he was going to be our wedding photographer. Not only was his work amazing (we had seen it online as well as from another bride),but the pricing structure and different packages they offer create so much value for the money. Selecting a photographer goes beyond even the work and price. Ryan is extremely nice with a calming and laid back personality...exactly what you need on your wedding day!
We didn't meet Carlos, our videographer until the day of the wedding but he was just as nice and easy to work with as Ryan was. Seeing as the photographer and videographer are with you more than any other vendor on your wedding day, you wouldn't have known that with these guys. Never intrusive or in the way and always looking for a way to take the best pictures possible. Choosing Abella (and Ryan and Carlos) may have been the best choice we made throughout this entire process...and we loved all of our vendors!!

Abella studies has the most amazing photographers ever. We had 2 photographers, Matt and Felipe and our videographer, Carlos. We all worked well together, they made us feel absolutely comfortable. They provided great shots and great ideas, once we saw the executed ideas we knew we had definitely made the right choice, right from the beginning with our engagement shoot with Ryan. Our final wedding pictures are absolutely amazing, nothing like i've ever seen in my life. Truly awesome and amazing that we found them and will recommend to others.

The staff at Abella Studios has not only been helpful and attentive throughout the planning process, but also 2 months after. They are always quick to respond to any questions I have. Our photographers blew our families and guests away with their stunning shots during the formal pictures and throughout the night of our wedding. One month later, we had our images available online as well as the discs that they provided us with. All in all, they are all amazing and talented, and I will most certainly be using them in the future again for other events. Love Abella Studios!!

Abella is fantastic and will make the wedding planning so easy and fun! We had the videographers
Meet us at the hotel and follow us to the Venetian! They were early, prepared, and a true pleasure to have around on our wedding day! We loved Dan and Francis, and were so impressed by their friendliness, professionalism, and ability to fit right in! I would absolutely recommend them to any couple! We feel so fortunate that we found them to capture our special day!

We could not be happier with the services provided by Mark and his team. We had an informative consultation session with Mark, then an engagement shoot at Ellis Island. The pictures were incredible and we very thankful to Mark for agreeing to that location. He captured what we wanted. Then the wedding day came. We selected both, the phot and video. Tomasz, the photographer, kept me and the bridesmaids calm and smiling during the preparations, formal pictures and pictures at the wedding venue. Mark was also very professional. He saw that my Mom and my "new Mom" :) forgot to put on the corsages so He gave those to Them. When the wedding video arrived, we watched it 6 or 7 times! Then, a day after, we watched it 5 more times with family. The editing and shots are so awesome, we could not believe that it was our wedding video. It was so professional. We can't wait to see the bridal photo album! We are extremely happy with selecting Abella Studios to capture moments from our first day as husband and wife.

On September 20, 2009 my best friend proposed to me on the beach in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. The only thing I knew 100% during the beginning of the wedding planning was, I HAVE TO USE MY SISTERS PHOTOGRAPHER . My sister was married 6 years earlier and I wasn't sure if Abella would even remember their wedding. To my surprise, they knew exactly who I was and even utilized a few of my sisters wedding pictures in some of their advertisements! I immediately felt the personal connection with Ryan and Mark. I had an extremely difficult time planning this wedding and they were THE ONLY VENDORS that made my experience pleasant and worry-free. My husband and I are not the "posing" type so we requested more candid shots. They exceeded any expectation I could ever dream of and truly got the emotion of the day on camera. I can not wait to see the video! I plan on continuing business with Abella Studios throughout our lives... especially when we have children.

Abella Studios did an amazing job for our wedding! They captured every moment of our wedding. From the joy and tears during the bridal prep and ceremony to the fun and craziness at our reception, Abella Studios captured every moment of the day and night! Thank you Mark and Carlos for your professional skills and professional eye. We did not even notice them photographing and filming the night away. I can describe Abella Studios work as beautiful and amazing pictures, unobtrusive filming and photography, and professional yet relaxed planning from the beginning and throughout our wedding day!
Thank you Abella Studios!!

Abella was a great choice for our photography for many reasons. Our photographer Tom was great. Since my husband and I didn't want to see each other before the ceremony, we had to take alot of shots quickly. He was great for that! The staff is flexible and responses to you quickly as well. Our proofs were up within 2 weeks of our wedding. Also to help us choose the good photos, they actually put some in a special folder and enhanced them. It was great to see those! It actually helped us with our selections because they were out favorite as well!! They are very affordable too! I HIGHLY recommend Abella.

When searching for a photographer, it is very tough because there is a lot of nice work out there, however, when choosing Abella I felt that they were extremely accommodating, helped us with ideas, were flexible with us, offered us advice, and most of all just kept in touch with us the whole way through. Ryan did a stunning engagement shoot. Kept it fun and naturally enjoyable. Tom was our photographer. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. Very pleasant, focused, professional, fun, and kept us on time. His work is brilliant and I was so happy to work with him. The coverage of one photographer was enough. Then Heather was the coordinator of it all and she was wonderful. Overall, a fantastic experience. My only suggestion would be that after the wedding it's really upon you to take the initiative to get the photo album and thank you's going, so I wish some one from the studio would've called me a month after my wedding saying I should get a move on my thank you cards! Honestly, that's my only feedback. They were truly fabulous.

I cannot say enough praises about Abella Studios! I just had my wedding last Saturday and Abella Studios was my photographer (specifically, Ryan). I could NOT have asked for a better experience!!! My pictures are absolutely AMAZING!!! My friends and family can't believe that I actually have all of the pictures already... it hasn't even been a week!!! The office staff at Abella is friendly and helpful. I felt that I could call with any question and they were there to help. My photographer knew what pictures I wanted to capture and he got every single one. He also took some spectacular pictures that I never would have thought to take! He was absolutely wonderful, friendly and professional.
I HIGHLY recommend Abella Studios!!!

I have gottten my proofs back and the pictures are amazing. I am not one who likes taking pictures but it was well worth it. I could not ask for better pictures. I can't imagine how they were able to take so many pictures. They captured absolutely everything. The photographer was very nice and flexible. Thank you so much for my amazing pictures.

Professionalism at it's finest! From the day I met with Heather, my husband and I were impressed with Abellas's work. It was the second and the last photographer we looked into for our wedding day. Abella surpassed our expectations. Tim photographed our wedding--he's super creative, super nice and super flexible! His experience showed in our incredible photos....which guests are still raving about a month after our wedding. Tim was everywhere and nowhere at the same time! lol. He captured moments of our wedding when my husband and I weren't aware of his presence. As for price, my husband and I were surprised at the cost as we expected to pay more (even though more was not in our budget) but you really do get what you pay for and value for the money is excellent. We don't have any regrets about choosing Abella. Their team gave us exactly what we asked for and delivered big time. We wish we could relive our wedding. It was everything we dreamed of and MORE! Thanks so much to Abella Studios for a job well done! The only negative is that choosing photos for our wedding album will be very difficult! Abella Studios has my highest recommendation.

Our experience with Abella Studios was wonderful from the start. After meeting with several highly regarded photographers, we chose Abella Studios for their professionalism, quality of work we viewed in their studio, and package value. From the day we booked them right through to the aftermath of the wedding – they have been incredibly helpful and responsive. We had an on-location engagement photo shoot, which provided us with many beautiful photos. More importantly, during the stressful and hectic wedding planning period, we had no issues with Abella Studios – everything was simple and they were there to answer our every question in a timely and efficient manner. The day of the wedding, the photographers managed to take tons of photographs without being intrusive at all. They were also incredibly patient and understanding throughout the day. The best part was just a few weeks after the wedding when all of our family and friends were able to see the photos online. I was not expecting to be able to see all of our wedding photos so quickly! I would highly recommend Abella Studios to anyone I know who is planning a special event.

Oh my...words cannot describe how wonderful the photographer, Jessie, was. My wedding day was absolutely beautiful (10-9-10)...a very nice and warm day in Princeton NJ. Jessie totally worked the scenery and weather. When I booked with Abella, Heather was very patient with me, as I was very fanatic, and at times inpatient, about what I wanted. After looking though pictures, I sent her IDs to pictures I liked. It turned out that these pictures belonged to three different photographers. For each photographer, Heather sent me three different weddings that each photographer shot, which allowed me to choose who I wanted. When I booked with them, my first and second choice were not available, so I was not sure what to expect for my wedding. Sometime before the wedding, Heather informed me that Jessie would be doing my wedding...I was happy because he was my second choice. Oh my, Jessie was fabulous! He has a magnetic personality, which worked well with mine. He was open to any suggestions and has a very good eye for the environment to take pictures. My make-up artist was there for some of my individual pictures and she told me that I was going to be very pleased with some of the shots she saw on his digital camera. That made me very happy. My pictures were made available on their website this week, and boy...I am more than 100% satisfied. My pictures looked fabulous. He took candid and formal pictures. My husband, his and my family and friends also love the pictures. Some of the shots, we were told, are a bit racy but we don't mind. My husband got a chance to see a side of me he has not and he absolutely loves them. I would totally recommend Abella Studios for photography. Jessie was punctual, professional, courteous, open, energetic, and the adjectives could go on. I went with another place for my videography, and Jessie knew him. They worked cohesively together and never got into each other's way. They were a perfect professional fit for each other and me. I was very pleased. I am glad I chose Abella for my pictures, and would recommend them to any bride. Because this is a studio, they have a few photographers; therefore I would recommend giving yourself enough time to skim through the pictures online so that you can narrow your choices down to a couple photographers. At this point you can find out if they would be available for your day and request their recent work for your review before your final choice.

I can not say enough how happy I am with Abella! We had two photographers for our wedding of 160 people and picking abella was one of the best decisions we made!! They were around to capture all of the spontaneous moments, but never seemed to get in the way of anything. They were extremely professional and courteous and were a pleasure to have around on this day! Mark was great with suggesting different shots and made everyone involved feel very comfortable in front of the camera. I got a few sneak peeks of the pictures he took and was truely blown away. I cant wait to see the rest of the photos! I would highly highly reccomend them!!!

We had a wonderful experience with our photographer, Ryan. He was very easy to work with, worked quickly between our ceremony and reception, and he was almost invisible during the reception. We were very pleased with our whole experience in dealing with Abella Studios.
