    Brian was awesome! He took amazing pictures, was on time, always responsive even when I repeated questions, never intrusive during the wedding, a complete and utter professional! He even helped the bridesmaids with their jewelry. I couldn't be happier!

    We have worked with Brian twice for an Engagement Photo session and for our Wedding. He far exceeded our expectations both times! Brian has tremendous talent for photography and an artistic flair. We are delighted with our photo albums. The way he frames a scene and how he captures light and emotions is flawless almost every time. Above all, Brian made us feel very comfortable as a couple with taking romantic pictures. He’s very approachable and answers questions freely - we learned so much from him! Finally, our guests complimented his unobtrusive style and fun approach to taking photographs. His professionalism and talent created some unforgettable moments for us!

    Brian Slanger is amazing. He made everyone in the bridal party feel extremely comfortable and although he never got in our way he was everywhere getting the best photos ever!!! He is a great person to work with and he displays the utmost professionalism. We definitely recommend him for wedding photography.

    We are just so happy to have Brian as our photographer! He is great and pleasure to work with. He is a little bit shy I would think and not that talkative. On our first meeting, we were expecting him to "sell" us more, but he did not. He worked out a package for us to meet our budget. We had him taking an engagement session as well. He is very flexible about the time and location on our day. He definitely got a lot of good shots, and we even could not tell he was there for the most of the time! Thank you Brian!

    Brian was my favorite vendor to work with throughout the entire planning process. I loved his laid back attitude, complete flexibility, and artistic eye. Plus, he never tries to "sell" to you. He lets you pick what you want and puts absolutely no pressure on you to spend more than you're comfortable with. Our photographs were incredibly beautiful, and some of the detail shots of the flowers now decorate my walls as artwork. Incredible value for the money. Brian is a true artist and you really get what you pay for.

    We highly recommend Brian Slanger for wedding photography. As others have mentioned, he gave us a great package and didn't put pressure on us to purchase more options. The pictures turned out wonderfully. Brian captured both the events of the evening as well as great candid shots. Brian was able to capture even the most camera-shy of our guests. Our guests who saw the proofs online were astounded as they never realized Brian was anywhere near them. Speaking of online proofs, they were up in less than a week. Our recently-married (i.e. 2 months ago) friends were jealous as they hadn't seen any of their own wedding proofs yet. Again, highly recommended.

    Brian was fantastic! The pictures are incredible and he had them back to us a week after the wedding. We'll be working on the album next but I have no worries as I've seen other album's he's made and the shots are gorgeous.
    One of the things we wanted in a photographer was to catch those little moments that people have when they think no one is watching and he did just that; time and time again! Not only that, after our formals post ceremony I really didn't notice him the rest of the night. Everyone has about 10 phenomenal shots I've got hundreds.

    Brian was wonderful. He did a relative’s wedding and when I saw his work, I knew we had to use him. Brian is quiet and always gets his shot. He works in a photojournalism style so he was able to capture some fantastic candid shots. Brian was also able to take our formal shots quickly and without drama. One week after the wedding the photos were on Pictage and within two weeks we had all the proofs, dvd slide shows, and all the digital files (we paid extra for them). Brian my not be inexpensive, but he’s fantastic, professional and worth every penny.

    Flexible with cost and package deals. Ended up arriving to first location 1 hour late due to weather. Very quite and offish at times but photos turned out great.

    Brian was a pleasure to work with - he gave me a great deal for what turned out to be an excellent package. He worked with me to develop a package that would fit my budget and we were left with some amazing pictures. We asked for a combination of formal shots and photojournalism - and that was exactly what he provided. For most of the evening I didn't even know he was there - he was so subtle - but the shots were just great.

    I enjoyed working with Brian- he is very laid back and nice. He had photographed my friend's wedding years ago and I liked the quality of his photos. He provides pretty standard and expected photos, which is what I wanted. I do wish there was a LITTLE more originality in his photos. There was a really nice winding staircase that we didn't use as much as we could have (we just had family photos in front of it), and there was another hallway with a glass ceiling and nice lights that we didn't use either.
    He also included a video with our package, which didn't have an audio from the wedding itself, which I was disappointed by. But really that was just an add on. I should have just gotten a videographer in retrospect.

    This company was available on the Holiday. The pictures of the wedding party were very nice. We only had this company booked for an hour as part of our Gramercy package, so we were a bit rushed to get all the photos in that we wanted. It was nice to get a 8X10 photo for free the night of the wedding as a gift! The photographer was professional and efficient.

    When we first met Brian we were really impressed. Pictures looked great and was very professional. Come the wedding day due to rain I was 20minutes late to the venue. I apologized to him and he responded with 'I was here on time.' That was really not what I wanted to hear on our wedding day. It was raining our wedding day so that made areas for pictures a little difficult. The one plce he wasnted to take pictures was on the front porch on the venue. It was soaking wet! I told him that it was not going to wor because I did not want to put my train down and it get wet. He told me that I would the have to figure out where WE wanted our pictures. I felt being a professional photographer you should be able to adapt to weather or what ever may happen that day. His pictures were ok. Nothing too amazing. For the price that we paid we expected much more from him.

    Very curious to get this review, especially after getting this e-mail recently from the bride regarding the albums: "We got the small albums today! They look awesome!! "
