Eloquent Studios

We first met Walter and his team from Eloquent Studios in May of 2009 when he photographed my friend’s wedding (in which I was a bridesmaid). I felt as though he made the whole photography process fun, and was amazed at how unobtrusive he and his team were throughout the course of the day/night. When we were booking vendors for our own wedding, we consulted with Milton Gil, Abella Studios and Eloquent Studios. We met with Walter last, and by the end of the meeting, knew just by looking at one another that he was our pick. We appreciated not only the quality of Walter’s work, but also that we could sit and have intimate conversation with him in his studio without feeling rushed, and that we could rest assured that Walter himself would be the one capturing what would turn out to be our most precious memories. In June 2009, we had our engagement photo shoot at Liberty State Park. Walter was flexible enough to meet us in Jersey City so we could take some photos with the skyline in the background (whereas one of the other photographers we met with had a set location for engagement shoots that we could not deviate from), took a good ¾ mile walk with us down Liberty Walk, and was even willing to walk with us across the bridge to Ellis Island (even though we were denied access). The save the date magnet he created was high quality and just as we’d envisioned it to be (the magnet made a great engagement party favor, for those of you looking for ideas). From June 2009 through present, Walter has been extremely accessible via phone and email—he answers all questions within at most a day, and most important, is reassuring in all of his responses. About a week before our wedding day, we stopped in the studio to pick up our photo frame favors (more about that later), and Walter again took the time to sit with us and help us envision how the photography would work on our wedding day. He calmed by nerves about the fact that it was forecasted to rain our wedding day (we ended up with beautiful sunshine and only a sunshower), promising an amazing set of pictures no matter what the weather. He even took the time to talk cameras with my husband, and ultimately recommended a camera that we bought just for the honeymoon! Our wedding day experience was all that Walter promised it would be. He made taking pictures fun for not only my husband and me, but also for our entire bridal party. Many of our bridesmaids/groomsmen raved about not only his professionalism, but also about how much fun they were having! I would have to agree with some of the other brides who have posted that it was Walter who was able to keep me calm during even the most frazzling moments (he always made sure I had water, gave me time to relax and sit by the fan, etc.) He’s also quite complimentary—I’ve probably never heard “cute”, “adorable”, and “beautiful” in reference to my posing for pictures in a lifetime as much as I did on my wedding day, and his compliments put me at ease in front of the camera (which is probably why I love the pictures so much!). In addition, we booked the photo booth for our reception, and utilized the photo strips as favors for our guests. The line for the photo booth was consistently longer than the line at the bar, and family and friends are still raving about how unique and how much fun the experience was! The photo booth itself was awesome, but the best part was definitely taking home the scrapbook filled with pictures of all of our guests. We have already flipped through it several times, and are grateful to be able to add it to our stockpile of wedding memories. The day after we returned home from our honeymoon, I received a message from Jean that our proofs were ready for pick-up. We’d initially been told they’d be ready in approximately 4 weeks (which was still a good deal), but they were done in under two. Walter and his team managed to capture every detail – viewing the proofs not only triggered good memories but also helped us to see our wedding day the way we believe all of our guests did. Even after we’d made the final payment, Walter volunteered to help my husband create a panoramic of 4 photos we’d taken of the St. Lucia mountain scape on our honeymoon. He obviously views his customers as more than simply customers—we hope that we’ve built a lifelong relationship with Walter and Eloquent Studios, and that we’ll get the opportunity to work with them again! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Walter!

We used Walter and Eloquent studios for our wedding. I must say it was such a pleasnt experence. Walter is a true Professional. Before the wedding we would email back and forth and he was always responsive and detailed. He was extremely flexible with us and a pleasure to work with. Our engagement photo session was fun and the pictures came out gorgeous. He made terrific suggestions on locations and just made the whole day fun. The day of the wedding he and his entire team were fun and upbeat as they took the pictures. Our family members are still commenting on what a great team the photographers and videogpraher were. I have to say even with all my friends and family around it was actually Walter and his team that kept my husband and I calm. They made fabulous suggestions for locations for pictures and made sure everything was smooth and that we were all having fun. We have heard all these stories from our friends that months later they don't have their proofs, but when we got back from our honeymoon 3 weeks after our wedding we got the best call ever, our proofs were ready. We couldn't be happier with our experience and we would say to any couple...DEFINITELY use Eloquent studios for your special day.

We had 2 photographers/videographers the entire day! They did an amazing job of covering everything and without being too in the way of the wedding. The photos and videos came out so wonderfully and so quickly. They covered all the emotion and aspects of the wedding and most of the time, I didn't even notice they were there!

I chose to work with Eloquent Studios because they did my best friend's wedding earlier in the year and I was very impressed with his professionalism as well as keeping the laughter and joy alive. I saw the pictures from her wedding and I said "I have to use Walter" I had a very short engagement and went straight to Walter asking him about price and availability. From that day on the team was nothing but flexible to meet the needs of myself and my husband. We were so pleased that he was able to capture the extra special moments we asked him to. There are so many amazing styles to choose from, picking out the album is going to be a tough choice! Overall I would recommend Eloquent Studios to ANYONE... oh wait I just recently did :). Thank you Walter and Team for being a part of making my wedding day just absolutely perfect! I hope to work with you in the future!

From the moment I first met Walter at a bridal showcase to the moment I viewed my proofs online... my experience with Eloquent Studios has been top-notch and nothing less than a 5-star rating. Every question was answered, every request was met, and every moment working with them was professional and... fun! We were able to enjoy every moment of our wedding day without interruption. We are currently working on the post-wedding materials with Eloquent studios and I am looking forward to seeing the end product! Thanks to Walter and team!

Walter was amazing!!!!!!!!! Plain and simple, hiring him was the best decision I made throughout the entire planning process! He was professional and very understanding of what I wanted. We spoke numerous times on the phone to discuss the schedule for the day, when and how we would take pictures, what I needed to do to make the day flow better, and how he anticipated getting all of the picutres we discussed. Walter was courteous yet direct and made sure everyone cooperated and payed attention during pictures (which was extemely helpful cause my family tends to lose focus easily). The pictures came out beautiful! We got the best combination of traditional and candid shots. I could not be happier with the final product! Thank you so much! I cannot wait to get our albumn and see how everything comes together!

When my husband and I met with Walter we felt comfortable with his personality and confident that he would capture perfect memories of our wedding day. Our package included all day coverage with two photographers. Walter and Jasmine captured all of our candid pictures and Justine was our videographer. They were all warm and friendly and this made the experience enjoyable. When they walked into my dressing room I felt relaxed and ready for my big day. I loved the fact that Walter was professional and took charge of capturing every candid moment. On our wedding day, it was impossible to see and enjoy everything that happened. When we received our proofs we were so happy with them and find it hard to pick a favorite one. Our pictures are perfect and through them we will always get to relive our wedding day. We highly recommend Walter and his team to anyone looking to capture special memories of their Special Day.Rachel & Mark

Simply put, Walter and his team at Eloquent Studios are absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we met Walter, we knew he was going to be our wedding photographer, no question about it. His store is classy, and this sense of style transfers to his work, which can best be described as modern elegance. An innovative photographer who always puts his clients first, Walter works to make sure he captures every moment, even in the least suspecting of places. He is the epitome of prefessionalism, yet uses his sense of humor to create an easy-going and relaxed atmosphere that is fun for all. Jean, the designer, is just as fabulous as Walter; with an eye for style, her creativity will ensure that your thank you cards, albums, and portraits are nothing short of perfect. We highly recommend Eloquent Studios for ALL your photgraphy needs, not just wedding photographs. Without a doubt or question in our minds, we will be going back to Walter for all our professional photography; we are hooked and clients for life! Eloquent Studios is perfection at its finest in every single way.

Eloquent Studios was the first and only photography vendor we looked at for our wedding. From the moment we walked into the studio, Walter and Justin greeted us with the perfect balance of confidence, professionalism and friendliness. Their work speaks for itself and is truly an art form. We can't wait for our storybook album!The entire process from save the dates to picking albums and proofs has been nothing but smooth and enjoyable. Honestly, they were our favorite vendor to work with. We can't wait to work with Eloquent Studios again and recommend them to everyone!

Not only is Walter the most artistically talented photographer that we have ever come in contact with, but his professionalism and charisma made him a joy to work with. Simply put, his pictures are beautiful. His photographs of our wedding day captured the love and joy of our special event. Walter's style is non-intrusive, which allows him to capture many intimate moments. We really enjoyed having Walter as our photographer, and highly recommend him to any couple looking for someone to capture all of the moments of their special day.

Eloquent Studios was great. I was reminded throughout the wedding of photographs that i had requested to be taken. They made sure that i was able to capture every moment i wanted on film! My proofs just came in and they are everything i could've asked for! Just beautiful!

Walter, Jean and Justin have been amazing to work with. They truly helped capture our special day in a most professional, caring, and artistic manner. From our engagement pics, to wedding proofs to thank you cards, I feel very fortunate to be working with whom I consider top notch in the industry. They helped us in planning along the way and offered ideas and suggestions that we would not have thought about had they not had the years of experience behind them. We also rented the photo booth as part of our wedding favor….and our guests loved this! There are many photographers to choose from, especially in the tri-state, and I am very happy to say that I chose the best!

Walter and his team are outstanding. Very Professional. I would highly recommend them to anyone... Thank you Eloquent Studios for the capturing the memories of the best day of my life "My Wedding".

Great work!! Beautiful portfolio :-) They worked with me all day long form 11am to 1am. Couldn't be happier with my proofs!

Eloquent Studios put together a magnificent team of professionals to capture all of our wedding memories. From their photography to videography- we could not have asked for anything more. They offered wonderful guidance, yet were flexible in incorporating our preferences. We enthusiastically recommend Eloquent Studios to anyone who values powerful photography and videography. ~Mark & Dana

We chose Eloquent Studios to handle the photography and videography on our special day, because it was obvious that their experience was overwhelming. You knew what you were getting for you money--top notch service from people that you could trust to get it right.The package included two photographers, and we opted for only one videographer for the day. They all showed up even earlier than promised and stayed until the very end of the reception to make sure that they were there to get each and every shot. Their level of organization was such that we did not have to worry for one moment about the photos or video on the wedding day. The communicated with each other to make sure that every moment was captured. The team had weddings down to a science, but their system was not rigid; they were flexible, which really allowed us to experience and enjoy every moment of the day�s activities.The photographers got some truly amazing shots. Our wedding day was miserable weather-wise, as we were in the middle of a tropical storm. However, this really allowed the photographers� artistic abilities to shine through. We had the reception at Perona Farms in Andover, NJ. The photographers knew that my wife and I had the intent to get some shots outside by the beautiful lake. We had kind of given up on this idea due to the constant downpouring that day. Upon arriving at Perona, our photographer pointed out that we did not need to let the rain keep us from getting the shots that we wanted. Long story short�we grabbed a large black/white golf umbrella from one of our guests and took a stroll down to the lake with our photographers. We ended up with some really great shots on the lake�s bridge; it is a very a fun memory. Maybe photo�s in the rain are not your cup of tea, but I mention this because it goes to show that Eloquent is eager to take every step possible to ensure the day is a success and that you are happy with their services (including subjecting their equipment into the elements!). During the ceremony and reception, Eloquent�s photographers and the videographer placed themselves perfectly; they blended into the atmosphere so that you almost did not notice that they were present; however, they managed to get the best possible camera angles on every aspect of the day�s activities.The wedding video was absolutely amazing. In planning for the wedding, my accountant nature initially led me to doubt the need for a videographer. Of course, my wife convinced me to stop being so cheap... and for this I am now very thankful!Our video was amazing. Everyone that watched it loved it; they were blown away by the level of detail and the time that obviously went into the production/editing! I will preface these next comments by saying that we are not one of those couples that guilt everyone we have ever met into sitting down and watching our wedding video again and again. That being said, my wife and I watched it 4 times the first weekend with all sorts of people; it did not get old. My mom took it down to my sister's college and her roommates (who weren't even at the wedding) had a great time watching it. All aunts in the family heard about the video and one of the DVDs was passed around the family... haha The editing was spectacular, and we appreciate the great deal of time that Eloquent must have spent creating the fluent masterpiece. Big hits were the old fashioned film reel effect, black/white clips with color accented flowers, and how at one point they inserted a video of my face onto the TV set in the background in my wife's living room (as if I was on her TV). Truly amazing stuff. My college roommates were delighted that they made it on the blooper reel at the end... which was a hysterical ending to a video that inspired all sorts of emotions. Just recently, we relived our special day on our one year anniversary. Eloquent really had the ability to learn who we were in a short period in order to tailor their product to match our personalities perfectly. We are so thankful that Eloquent played a part in our special day and provided us with such an artistically inspired way to remember the day's festivities.

My husband and I met Walter and Danielle at the Flanders Valley Weddings in Flanders, NJ at a Bridal Show. We met with Walter one week later and booked our special day with Walter. We choose to have our engagement shoot down the shore, which were beautiful witht he ocean behind us. Walter did a wonderful job! All of our photo's were taken before our wedding so we can enjoy the company of our guests. We had a few lingering pictures during the cocktail hour but not too long away from the guests. Would highly recommend taking pictures before the ceremony. During our wedding day, Walter and Danielle were able to capture so many special memories of us and our family and friends. Our proofs were wonderful, done in a timely manner. We choose our album and our parent albums and they were returned quickly. (especially for having a June wedding). The album looks wonderful! We couldn't ask for a better job!Recently, a friend of mine got married at Flanders Valley and noticed my wedding picture in the main office, since than we have ordered a huge picture that is on the Flanders Valley website and brochure.If you want to have a fun and have an energetic photographer, Walter is the guy for you! I would use Walter in the future for any other photographer needs. Thanks guys! You are great!Heather and Scott

On our wedding day there were 2 things that did not disappoint. Our venue and Eloquent Studios. Their service and professionalism was OUTSTANDING during the entire event. We were provided with 2 photographers which was great, we had tons of pictures which all looked great. Walter our main photographer was an absolute professional and had great attention to detail. I would definitely recommend Eloquent for your wedding day. We only purchased the photography package but just based on that i'm sure their videography is a great offer as well.

We used Eloquent Studios for our wedding photography and video and had a wonderful experience with them. They are creative, professional and extremely easy to work with! Walter and his team were extremely enthusiatic about my wedding that I had 100% confidence he would put his all into my event. We just received our proofs and couldn't be happier!

Eloquent studios did a wonderful job on our wedding photos. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to hire a wedding photographer. Professional and courteous - they were a pleasure to work with. The photos are so artistic. They captured the day perfectly!
