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.

Abella was a great company to work with. They were very responsive to our emails and flexible in payment terms. While, we did select a pricier package they had packages that varied. Our photos were gorgeous and neither the photographer or the videographer was in any way intrusive. We were very happy with our choice.

Abella Studios, especially Heather (E.B. office), Jesse and Max were the best to work with for our special day. The photos were absolutely goregous. The photographers were excellent and very professional. We also had them shoot our video, which was very nice too. Jesse knew how to position us and my dress to look just perfect. The photos were unique/original and he and Max mixed in some traditional shots, just like I had requested. We would definitely recommend to others. -Lauren & Mike

Abella did an amazing job with our pictures (we didn't see the video yet). I was a little worried that we had such a huge amount of people at the wedding but only one photographer. After seeing all the pictures though... I could not have been happier, they came out UNBELIEVABLE and I cannot stop looking at them. The photographer & videographer were on time and weren't in anyone's way with their camara's throughout the day. We also had a love story video... and it came out awesome. Everyone at the wedding was talking about how romantic and beautiful it all was. Months later, everyone is STILL talking about it and my husband is still watching it almost everyday. :)I would recommend Abella to everyone who needs a photographer and videographer for their wedding!!! They are absolutely the best!!!

Our photo/video guys, Matt & Harry were great! The pictures looked amazing and we were so surprised by all the moments they caught on film.

Our photographer, Ryan, was fantastic! He arrived on time at my parents' house to begin taking pictures. He was very respectful toward myself, my wedding party, and family; he even took pictures that included our family dog! Ryan was very discreet and did an absolutely wonderful job at the church; as our pastor said, a great and talented photographer is one whom you never know is there and that's exactly who Ryan is. He was quiet and unobtrusive, but took great, meaningful photos.Ryan is such a skilled photographer; he not only acquired a great quantity of photos, but ones of terrific quality as well. We received the CD-ROM of our photos less than 2 weeks following the ceremony; they made me laugh, cry (happy tears), and smile and I couldn't have asked for anything more.

We had a destination wedding (in Jamaica) and Abella Studios was there with us to capture all our special moments. We are so glad we decided to go with Abella Studios to do our videography and photography. Everything from the love story, to the highlights and wedding video, to trashing of the dress came out absolutely amazing. Mark, our videographer, was very creative and at the same time open to all our ideas. Jesse, the photographer, took gorgeous pictures and was very friendly and personable. Overall, I would highly recommend Abella Studios for all occasions.

Abella was excellent to deal with from beginning to end. We loved the fact that they gave us all of our photographs to view online, as well as on a disc to do as we please. We've recommended them to all of our friends who've been married after us and all have used them. Everyone felt the same way we did.

Our photographer was excellent. She was very professional the day of our wedding. It was really great working with her throughout the entire day! Even the people from their office were very helpful up until the day of the wedding! Even now while trying to pick out our pictures to create the most amazing album for us.

I definitely recommend using Abella Studios, they are very professional, did a wonderful job at our wedding, and they weren't up in our faces, we barely knew they were there, but they took beautiful pictures!

AWESOME!!! photography was the most important thing i was purchasing since i wasn't getting a videography for the day. Abella set me up with a great photographer (Rennie Newmark) and as a bonus, she had an apprentice with her who was FREE of charge. We got over 1,000 photos!when look for a photographer all i wanted was a CD of all of pics. No album, no bells and whistles, just give me the pics. Most photogs would not do this! But Abella had no problem with it. I did my own albums, made copies of pics for all of my wedding party and family, and saved a ton.

My husband and I used Abella Studios in Fairfield, NJ. They are small but have one other office in central NJ as well. The people I dealt with were very nice and professional. They had thee best prices in this area of NJ and the area of NY state around Catlin Gardens. The pictures turned out great. I was a bit disappointed because the photographer almost didn't get the shot of us with my grandparents (he grabbed us as they were literally leaving the reception at the end of the wedding) and he never did get a shot of me with our flower girl and ring bearer. He also did not take our rings out of their boxes for the picture of them on our invitation but in black and white it didn't look as bad. The studio got our album to us pretty quickly but it took me e-mailing them several times to get the ball rolling, however photographers are notorious for taking a very long time to get couples their wedding albums. We got nice photos for the price. They weren't the most creative shots but they came out nicely. Overall, a good experience.

We absolutely loved our photographer Matthew. We had tried to reach out to the studio on a few occasions and I will say they were often very slow to get back to us after we booked our package. As a result, we were unable to meet with the photographer prior to the wedding. Luckily, Matthew turned out to be a great photographer. We wanted a lot of candid shots and he delivered. I had no problems with him at all and was very pleased. It has been almost 4 weeks and we have not received any pictures nor have they been put online yet so I'm not sure how quick they are to deliver.

Thank you Abella Studios (especially Alex) for such a awesome experience! All of the emotions and happiness we had at our wedding were captured beautifully in the pictures and video. We will cherish and share these pictures forever. Thanks again!DC

I was supposed to get two photographers. Instead, I got one head photographer and one assistant. The studio asked me to fill out forms with a list of all the required photographs I wanted. Both photographers did not take several of the requested photographs (that I had asked for on those forms).As an aside, no matter which studio you go with, interview the photographer(s) beforehand for personality conflicts. In my case, the head photographer irritated me, my matron-of-honor, and my mother-in-law.
