I (the bride) met Bruce and Wanda at the Mazzone Hospitality “Experience the Difference” Wedding Event in March 2017, about a month after getting engaged. I felt like we immediately clicked, which was the feeling I was hoping for. I wanted to make sure our photographer would be able to make my fiancé and I laugh, and Imagine! did just that. Upon meeting Bruce and Wanda, I could tell they were warm, genuinely nice people, who loved their work, and even in the midst of hundreds of brides at this wedding event, they both made me feel special. After my fiancé was able to meet Bruce and Wanda, we booked our package without any hesitation. We scheduled our engagement shoot, which turned out amazing. We were so happy with the entire experience (we had a lot of laughs) and absolutely thrilled with the pictures. I had told Bruce what type of setting I had wanted for our photos—something industrial for some of the pictures, and something a little greener for the others. Bruce did some research and found the perfect location, for which I was impressed and grateful. It was exactly what I had wanted. Once we saw the engagement photos, we knew we were in good hands for the wedding and any nervousness I had about that disappeared. And my confidence in them was proven right. Not only were Bruce and Wanda amazing with our families and wedding party (Wanda especially amazing with the little kids!), but the whole experience was enjoyable, organized, and low-stress. And to top it off, we are so, so happy with our wedding photos. Another great thing about working with Imagine! was that Bruce was always available—from our first meeting to after the wedding, to answer any questions I had—and always timely and considerate. We can’t say enough good things about Imagine! Photography & Design. I can’t wait for another opportunity to work with them again. I recommend them with absolutely no hesitation. We’ll always be grateful to them for capturing those amazing moments of love and laughter.

Bruce, Wanda & their assistant made every moment of wedding planning and our wedding day extremely special! They are flexible, accommodating, fun, personable, and trusting. Our wedding party fell in love with them on our wedding day, I would recommend them to anyone!

Bruce and Wanda were so amazing throughout the entire preparation of our wedding. They were constantly in contact with us and answered any questions we had fast and efficiently. They were adventurous, and happy to meet us in Bash Bish Falls for our engagement session. The best part was that they kept the whole day light hearted and fun. And somehow managed to keep my husband calm and composed before the first look. Once the ceremony and reception started we hardly even noticed them, and the pictures turned out beautiful. Plus, their photo booth was a huge hit with everyone at the reception.

Bruce and Wanda photographed our wedding October of 2014. We did not do the traditional engagement photos. We had family pictures instead. We have 2 children together. It was great to see Bruce and Wanda interact with our children. Our kids tend to be a little shy when meeting new people and Bruce and Wanda figured out just what to do to make them smile and feel comfortable.

The day of our wedding, my bride and I decided to do "First Look" and it was Bruce's idea to do it at Saratoga National Park. The weather was beautiful and my Wife looked amazing. The time there went by so fast that I didn't even realize that they were there! Seeing the pictures later, I couldn't believe feelings that they had captured.

Later at the wedding, by bride had major problems with her bussel falling out. Probably about 10 times Wanda was there to help with safety pins and patience. She made my bride feel comfortable and relaxed, and not so nervous. Over all, Bruce and Wanda were very professional, took their time, got amazing candid and professional pictures. I would recommend them to everyone that I meet. We use them for all of our pictures. School pictures, Christmas cards and birthdays! They have become great friends of ours and part of our family!

One of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding was hiring Bruce and Wanda of Imagine Photography and Design to capture our day. We could tell right away the dynamic between Bruce and Wanda was great and that we would be in good hands for our wedding. Their experience and talent is without question. From the engagement photos, the early stages of planning and the wedding day itself, everything was perfect. They were able to determine exactly what we wanted, knew what questions to ask and executed on those plans.

The pictures they captured were just absolutely stunning. Our family and friends could not get over how great the photos were. The traditional shots at the church with family and the bridal party were perfect. Bruce and Wanda were efficient and well-organized to get all of the family shots posed and the photos taken so as not to waste any precious time between the ceremony and the reception. Their experience in capturing weddings in the Capital Region is evident as they knew the perfect areas to take the bride/groom shots and the bridal party shots before arriving at the venue and at the venue itself. Our reception was at Glen Sander’s Mansion in Scotia and we took bridal party shots in the Stockade District in Schenectady before the reception. Bruce and Wanda scouted the area days before the wedding and the location they chose was perfect for our wedding colors. Those pictures were just breath taking; it was like the location had been built just for our group of people. The photos taken at the cocktail hour, reception and during the party were also amazing. They were in the middle of the action and captured incredible group shots and party shots. Bruce and Wanda captured the entire day perfectly and now we have these brilliant photos to remember our wedding day for years to come.

We would highly recommend Bruce and Wanda of Imagine Photography and Design for your engagement photos and for your wedding day.

Bruce and Wanda Curtis were very professional when it came to everything that entailed my wedding. My husband and I have been together for years and have 2 kids together. So the engagement photos included in our package tuned into family photos. It also gave them a very good opportunity to see how my children acted in front of the camera. Then for the wedding they knew what to expect and how to get my youngest to smile. I would recommend them to everyone for any occasion. Not only were they great for the wedding we now use them for your family photos every year.

Imagine Photography is everything a bride and groom could ever hope for. Talent beyond measure, and people that care about getting those breath taking images that will represent your special day for a life time. Imagine was flexible with our odd scheduling and helped keep us focus from start to finish. The images speak for themselves and capture the true essence of each individual moment. Imagine made the guests feel comfortable and at ease as they did with us as well. I am not one for getting my picture taken but they truly are gifted in getting one to be at ease. We couldn't have been happier with the results and the process alike.

Bruce and Wanda are amazing! We chose to have a destination wedding in Mexico - they were just as excited as we were!! The photos were incredible and are posted to a private site for your viewing shortly after the wedding itself! We had a rowdy and fun bridal party and they were amazing with them. They make everyone feel special and will cater to all needs. I would recommend Imagine! Photography and Design to any bride-to-be.

Bruce and Wanda were AMAZING! We had so much fun with them at the wedding - they were a huge part of what we would consider the perfect day. We told Bruce and Wanda that we were somewhere in between "traditional" and "crazy" and that we had no idea what kind of photos we wanted - and they surprised and delighted us with the ideas they came up with! From the shots our mothers would knowingly want, to fun poses that fit our quirky personalities, this dynamic duo provided us with memories that we will forever remember - and all we had to do was smile! On top of everything, they were affordable and professional, which is exactly what you want when dealing with the stress of a wedding. If we ever have kids, you can bet we're calling Bruce and Wanda for a photo shoot!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
