best photographers ever!

Inbal wasn't available on our wedding day, so we had her associate Jerry Ng as our photographer and Guy as the second photographer. We first met Jerry in person when he came to our home to do our engagement shoot and we had so much fun with him! My husband and I aren't the best at posing for photos but he captured us in a way that made us look like models!

Inbal was very helpful and communicative in the weeks leading up to the wedding and she did an amazing job editing our photos. Jerry and his team went above and beyond on our wedding day and helped make a chaotic day go much more smoothly.

We wanted pictures that captured the day without altering the colors or looking too posed, and that's exactly what we got. I would absolutely recommend Inbal, Jerry, and Guy to anyone.

Thank You Inbal!

When I came across Inbal’s photography, I knew right away that I would love for her to capture my wedding day. Her photography is one of a kind, breathtaking, artistic, authentic and exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. She was proactive, attentive to details and an absolute pleasure to spend the day with. She is extremely talented in capturing candid moments that you will want to remember for years to come. Our wedding photos and wedding album are absolutely stunning and are of high quality. I can’t recommend Inbal enough and I can’t wait to have another celebration for her to capture!

Best Regards,
Shirin

Felt like a long-time friend

First of all, I would 1,000% recommend working with Inbal to anyone who is lucky enough to require her services. Inbal is a joy to work with. She kept it real, and set boundaries when she needed to, but never in an unfriendly or unprofessional way. For a bride who is overwhelmed with opinions and choices, it was a relief to just be able to open up to her and know that your preferences would be respected. She had my back and left no room for our guests to get in the way of capturing a cherished moment. I also often feel uncomfortable in front of a camera, but she made me feel like I had a long-time friend in my corner. The whole experience felt natural and comfortable...and you can see it in the photos! Every photo felt real, joyful, and seemed bursting with emotion.

Inbal is amazing!

From the initial moments of contact she was so personable, easy to talk to and accommodating. Inbal always made herself available for conversations and made incredible recommendations for us to make our pictures even more unique and special. It happened to rain (torrential down pour) at the wedding and Inbal was the first one to say “let’s get a rain shot”. She was also able to get candid shots for those who matter most to us. Overall incredible experience! 10/10 recommend to ANYONE but especially a stressed out bride. You made me feel so at ease. Inbal, couldn’t ask for better photos! You are amazing!

Stop looking for a photographer - you found Inbal!

Look no further, the photographer you need is Inbal. There's no way to properly express in words what she will bring to your wedding experience as a whole, but it's the best decision we made for our wedding. She will be a friend, a guide, and most importantly, you'll have the most amazing photos. If you're like us, we wanted unique but timeless photos that captured our beautiful and diverse group of friends. Inbal takes stunning photos that capture the small moments filled with emotion that you aren't able to see on your big day. Our guests regularly look back at our photos just because they want to be reminded of how special it was. So stop your search, go with Inbal. Also, she does a great job of photographing people of all skin tones. As a black couple, this was something we looked for - Inbal more than delivered.

The best wedding photographer there is

Inbal is truly incredible — we cannot recommend her highly enough! Her photos were brilliant, and we absolutely loved working with her.

We had many DIY elements, so it was essential for us to have a photographer who could capture the love we put into our wedding. We looked and looked, but everyone whose work we liked seemed way out of our price range. When we discovered Inbal, we were floored by her distinctive approach, and we knew immediately our search was over. Over the next two years (thanks, Covid), she became not only our photographer, but also our creative collaborator as we planned the event.

When it came to the wedding itself, Inbal (and her fantastic collaborator, Jerry Ng, whom we also hired for a very reasonable fee) was perfect. She was on top of every detail necessary to produce beautiful photographs. She even scouted out a local garden before the event and convinced the people running it to hold it open past hours so we could take portraits! Somehow, Inbal and Jerry knew exactly where to be to capture incredible shots without ever being in the way.

The photographs themselves were just what we’d hoped for: expressive, beautiful, and creative. Inbal sent them to us way ahead of schedule, along with a lovely preview slideshow. It’s hard to imagine any photographer—even one charging five times Inbal’s rates—capturing a wedding as perfectly.

Hire her!!! We know we will, whenever we have another big event.

Incredible wedding photos and fun to work with!

Inbal was wonderful to work with over 3+ years of planning and postponement. She stuck with us over 4 different wedding dates until we finally got to tie the knot in October 2022. She was responsive, flexible, honest, direct, and funny! She took incredible photos despite less than ideal weather conditions, unruly family (including toddler twins), and a very dark venue. We received over 800 photos within 2 weeks of the event and we are just in love with them! Highly, highly recommend!

The Best Photographer in all of Austin OR New York

For what it's worth, I have attended and seen photos from a ton of weddings in both Austin and NYC, so I feel I the authority to support the title of my review :-)

My husband and I cannot recommend Inbal enough! When picking a photographer for our wedding, it was not only important that we were in love with their work/style, but that we found a person that we felt comfortable entrusting with one of the most important days of our lives. Inbal met our standards from both immediately.

First, the work: We wanted someone who would capture genuine moments without interrupting the natural flow of the day -- Inbal did that beautifully. She is a lighting expert and knows how to get the best looking shot with the least amount of intrusion. She captured incredible moments of emotion and action and made everyone look AMAZING. Additionally, she and her term were flexible with us and the needs our guest; they worked hard to ensure that we got all of the shots that mattered most to us and that each shot met her high standards of quality. I have looked at our gallery every day since it arrived and every time, I notice something new and wonderful that Inbal and her team captured. HIRE HER.

Now the person: Inbal is not only a true professional, but for me, was a calming presence on the day. We had expressed to her some of our anxieties around photos/being photographed and she made sure that both my husband and I were comfortable the whole day. She checked in with me several times to make sure I was doing okay and was very understanding when I needed to take a break part of the way through portraits. Like I said, you need to be able to trust your photographer on the day of and from our first meeting with Inbal, it was clear that we could trust her.

Again, I cannot stress enough how much of a positive impact Inbal had on our wedding, both the during the day and in the memories that are now captured forever by her skilled eye. Hire her for your event; it will be the best decision you make.

I had the pleasure of working with Inbal on a wedding in October 2013. My client had booked her on their own and I am sometimes wary of vendors I have not worked with before. I can honestly say my experience with this photography was one of the best I have had! Inbal is professional and low key and her photographs are amazingly creative and captured the spirit of my couple.
