    Wolfgang and Chiaki are amazing.

    We liked them before we set foot into the studio. The pictures on the website are stunning; we already knew had found something special.

    Researching photographers can be a daunting task, and the more websites you visit, the more things start to blur together and you may find you can no longer tell one photographer from the other.

    That isn't the case with A Day of Bliss. Their pictures stood out from the beginning, and never became confused with anything else. Never blurred. Never seemed indistinct.

    Meeting with Wolfgang only served to confirm that this was the right choice for us. The beautiful, photojournalistic style coupled with a bit of something from the fashion photography world was something that stayed consistent from the website to flipping through albums of work at the studio. He is easy to talk to, and has a relaxed yet highly professional demeanor that puts you at ease - this is not something that should be taken for granted, it isn't a universal manner that all photographers have.

    Wolfgang was highly responsive from the beginning of the process and that isn't something that stopped once the contract was signed. On the day of the wedding, Wolfgang and Chiaki were a pleasure to work with - something that didn't only apply to us, but applied to our guests, as well. So many people passed along compliments to express how kind they were. We knew they were consummate professionals, and everyone else did, too, as they went wherever the shot was, wherever the best angle was, up the stairs, on the balcony, in the grass - you name it, they went there. Through so much of the events, they seemed almost invisible, capturing beautiful pictures photojournalistically, just like we wanted, and to great effect.

    Working with A Day of Bliss was a wonderful experience, and we'll never forget the great people behind the beautiful pictures of our wedding day. I most highly recommend Wolfgang and Chiaki.

    The Absolute Best

    I cannot speak more highly of Wolfgang and Chiaki. They are true artists who captured the beautiful moments of our wedding day through exceptionally high quality and creative photos. Throughout the wedding planning process they were incredibly responsive and collaborative, and met with us to scope out vantage points we liked at our venue before the wedding. We were a little nervous about being able to capture photos that highlighted us as a couple and our wedding party enjoying the moments of the day in the midst of a very busy city filled with tourists, but all of our photos were taken with such thoughtfulness and ideal angles, locations, and positioning that the city served as a beautiful backdrop while the real focus of the photos was on us and the wedding party. They also had wonderful ideas of photos / poses to take and traveled to several locations in the city with us on the wedding day to capture a few special shots we were dreaming about. They are top notch, and we were so lucky to have them part of our wedding!

    Stunning Photos & Awesome Team

    Wolfgang, Chiaki, and Katya captured our Brooklyn wedding and did a flawless job. Their style is ethereal and they are each true professionals in their work. We loved working with them and we're so happy we chose them for our wedding day.

    Working with Wolfgang throughout the planning process was great. He is kind, professional, and attentive to details. He was also incredibly responsive each time we had a question or concern, and planning with him was really seamless.

    A Day of Bliss did an incredible job in capturing all the special moments we wanted and every detail without ever feeling invasive or intrusive. We never felt they were in the way in our private moments as a couple and with family on the wedding, but they all did a great job of creating special moments for us throughout the day and making sure it was captured. They were also really great with all the more formal portraits - nothing felt too staged or fake, and they did a great job of making everyone feel comfortable and capturing authentic moments.

    Our photos turned out absolutely stunning! They really captured all vibrancy and color of an Indian wedding. They caught small moments throughout each event. There are so many photos that you can really feel the emotion jump out of the photos. They also took the effort to get great pictures of all of our guests, something we and all our families really appreciate. Lastly, they did an incredible job with photos of our venue, decor, vibe, food, etc.

    We are absolutely floored with how the photos turn out and are so thankful for A Day of Bliss's team. Don't hesitate to work with them!!

    I wish we could give more than 5 stars! Wolf and Chiaki are so incredibly talented, kind and professional. They captured our day perfectly and were so thoughtful and careful. We are in love with all of the photos and couldn't be happier!

    Blissful to work with!

    I will start by saying I haven't gotten my pictures back yet, and will update the review when I do, but Wolfgang and Chiaki were a dream to work with! They were thoughtful about each shot, but they kept the day feeling relaxed and easy. They were very friendly but it never felt like they were in the way of so many of the special moments that happened on my wedding day. They did not take away from the intimacy of the day for me and my family, but they did create many special moments for us, from me putting on my gown with my mom and sister, to my first look with my husband, it was a day I will never forget. They posted some pictures on Instagram and those took my breath away so I can't wait to see the rest of the images and relive my special day. Thank you Wolfgang and Chiaki!!

    Highest level of professionalism, quality and care

    From before my wedding to receiving my wedding album, A Day of Bliss Photography has executed everything with the highest level of professionalism, quality and care. My wedding planner referred A Day of Bliss to me along with a bunch of other photographers to choose from. I was immediately drawn to their beautiful and breathtaking photos and couldn’t wait for the beautiful photos to be captured on my special day. The day of the wedding, could not have gone better. The lead photographer, Chiaki Sato and the crew showed up on time and we started shooting immediately. They made it easy for me, my family and friends to get great shots and enjoy his company all day long. There was so much care and thoughtfulness that went into every photo that it was actually so hard to even make my final selections (what a great problem to have). When I received my wedding album in the mail, I cried as if it was the day of the wedding again. I was blown away at how incredible it was and how it was so beautifully done. All my friends and family say they have never seen an album like mine. It’s perfect. A Day of Bliss Photography was one of the reasons my day was so easy, fun and perfect. Thank you Chiaki and A Day of Bliss Photography, you will always be highly recommended in my book!

    Wedding photography

    Words cannot express how amazing Wolf and Chiaki are! Not only are their photos breathtaking, they are so easy to work with, they are reliable and so professional. They are such genuine people. I am so lucky to have had them capture my wedding day and wedding welcome dinner. I can’t wait to have more special moments for them to capture on the future!

    Loved working with this company! My fiance and I wanted some engagement photos and we received high quality images and videos! The price was reasonable for the quality of service we received and it was an all around pleasure working with A day of Bliss. We are sure that we will be contacting them again very soon to do our wedding photos!

    Amazing team!

    I am very thankful to have worked with Wolfgang and Chiaki. They have been so attentive and supportive throughout the whole process. A week before the wedding they met with me at my venue in New Jersey and spent 2 hours touring the venue and taking notes of all the little details I wanted. Chiaki would take pictures of scenery that was important to me to keep in her file and use on the day of the wedding. My photos are beautiful and creative, which was really important to me because I chose a venue with a lot of scenery. Chiaki even ran up to a balcony to capture the same photos that Wolfgang caught on the ground. They’ve been so pleasant throughout such a stressful time. Even after they gave me my full retouched gallery, they still met with me to show me all the images that did not make it in the album and added them to my album. I’m so thankful for them!

    Beyond all expectations

    Selecting vendors for your wedding can be daunting. How do you even find the right photographer? A Day of Bliss is the answer. My wife and I could not have been more happy we decided to work with Wolfgang and Chiaki. They put us at ease from the very first meeting and delivered beyond expectations from our engagement shoot, the first look and throughout the wedding. Professional, easy to work with and talented!!!

    Multicultural Wedding

    No words can ever express our gratitude to both Chiaki and Wolfgang for the phenomenal job and experience during our 2 day affair. Having a Nigerian / Indian wedding is not very common, but they were able to capture all of our traditions in such a beautiful/ candid way. From our first meeting with Wolfgang, to the moment we received our albums, they were so welcoming/ catering and easy to work with. They made every effort to make sure we were comfortable every step of the way! Thank you so much to A Day of Bliss for truly working with us and being apart of our special day, we love you guys!!!

    dream wedding

    We decided to marry at my dream location in Italy, Lake Como. During our research my now husband and I always circled back to the famous Villa del Balbianello located on the Dosso d'Avedo peninsula in Lenno.
    The research to find our photographers also took a long time since we were looking for a studio that would capture the essence of this magical place and provide us with photographs we could
    cherish as a keepsake of our dream wedding. Needless to say that Wolfgang and Chiaki, the team behind A Day of Bliss Photography were the perfect choice for us, they managed to surpass our high expectations way beyond what we could have imagined, they were always on time and absolutely professional, dressed to perfection and such a pleasure to work with. Responding with a positive attitude, it made the day so easy and stress free. Our families also mentioned how gracious they were and we will recommend A Day of Bliss to everyone who is looking for great, pleasant and talented photographers.

    Fabulous photos and kind, helpful photographers!

    Chiaki did an exceptional job with my wedding photos! I loved all my photos (of which she sent over 800 edited and color corrected!). She captured all the candid moments I was hoping for (genuinely candid!), ensured that everyone looked attractive in the posed shots, and had a level of artistry to the framing of many of her photographs that took them beyond the typical, expected wedding photos. Also, she was so flexible -- met me at the venue a few weeks before the wedding to identify all the locations where we'd take pictures, and always happy to answer my emails. Lastly, she has such a sweet and unobtrusive personality -- you won't feel like someone is bossing you around on your wedding day!

    We were blown away by Wolfgang and Chiaki at Day of Bliss. They were professional, creative, accommodating, and flexible. They really understood what we were going for and got amazing and candid shots from our wedding and rehearsal dinner. They were flexible on timing, shooting indoors and out, and made suggestions on where and how to stand to enhance our pictures. We were supposed to get married outside and it was raining so the few moments that the rain stopped, they immediately encouraged us to go outside and captured amazing shots. They knew how important it was to get outdoor pics since we picked Montauk as our wedding destination, and were so attentive to make sure we captured this. We can't say enough good things!

    Working with Day of Bliss was an absolute delight. We spent a long time sifting through photographers’ websites and we absolutely adored their photos; they stand out in particular for their use of natural light, and we really wanted a bright, airy feel for our photos, particularly as our venue has a tendency to skew dark. Wolfgang was impeccably professional from our first meeting, and quick to respond to questions.
    On the day itself, Chiaki met up with the bridal party and Wolfgang with the groom’s party. Chiaki was excellent at setting up the mood for the day – she took details shots out of the way of the chaos, and would pop back in to ooh and aah and tell us we looked fabulous, tell cheerful stories and just generally help everyone feel more comfortable and excited. She moved very professionally and easily around the action, capturing group and solo pictures, somehow managing to take pictures of everything without ever stopping or unnecessarily pulling people to the side. When we met up in Central Park for our first look, Chiaki was great at noticing little details such as an errant hem or fold and fixing them – she was also hilariously direct with passersby who were in the way of a great shot and would shoo them away quickly. Wolfgang was a calm and relaxing presence for the groomsmen’s getting ready photos; he asked about posed shots and took a lot of great candids without being intrusive. He had a lot of suggestions for how to use the time we had and was proactive about seeking out nice shots around the park. During group shots, when everyone was getting hungry and grumpy, he was able to instill enough humor to keep us going!
    At the wedding itself, they were both never in the way of the action, moving seamlessly through the crowd, and taking great pictures throughout. Photos did take a while to come in; I think it was about 18 weeks when all was said and done, but this may vary based on time of year. And the photos are absolutely beautiful – no regrets here

    Where do I even began with how amazing Wolfgang and Chiaki are? They take the most beautiful photos ever. Absolutely stunning. They have an incredible eye and are true artists. They captured so many beautiful moments at the right angles and I am eternally grateful. Their skills and capabilities make for beautiful photos but what also makes them so special is their character and energy. They are the most wonderful people - kind, warm, and positive. You could not find more wonderful people to be with you on your wedding day. In my case, it made an incredible difference. There was some family drama and venue issues that came up in the weeks leading up to my wedding. As such, there were a lot of things that I didn't have time to prepare for which resulted in a wardrobe malfunction and other things that went wrong. Wolfgang patiently and thoughtfully helped edit my photos after my wedding day so that the issues with my dress were not reflected in the pictures. He was so kind. Every time I look at my photos I have joyful tears. Best decision I made with my wedding was hiring A Day of Bliss.

    I cannot say enough wonderful things about Wolf and Chiaki!! First off, their photography skills are top notch: not only are they both incredibly talented, but Chiaki’s skills at close up portraiture and vignettes perfectly complement Wolf’s dominance of wider format architectural photography. I never thought I would be one to include any of my personal photos in a review, but I just had to share one for this review because no words can do justice to Wolf’s talents. Secondly, they aren’t just professional, but they are fantastic to be around: they put us at ease, gave us enough direction to put us in our best light while never feeling too contrived, were an absolute pleasure to spend time with, and somehow perfectly blended in to the background during our wedding so we were never conscious about the presence of photographers. Finally, the packages for A Day of Bliss are a wonderful value: not only do you get all of Wolf and Chiaki’s attention on your wedding day, you get digital copies of all of your photos without a watermark, a gorgeous online gallery, and an engagement shoot. I would recommend A Day of Bliss (and have!) without hesitation to even my most particular friends, and highly recommend you consider them for your wedding.

    We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Wolfgang and his team for our wedding! We received so many complements from friends and family and the photographs were gorgeous. Wolfgang was super responsive and helpful throughout the whole planning process -they are true professionals and I can't recommend them highly enough!

    Working with Chiaki on our wedding day was an absolute pleasure. She took time beforehand to know exactly what shots I wanted and what styles I preferred. She organized the bridal party well but was never bossy or overwhelming-- she kept the day much calmer than it could have been. Every shot was amazing-- I wish I could frame them all! I can't say enough about this wonderful team

    Wolfgang and Chiaki were amazing to work with for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. They have a great eye for composition and were so great at making us feel at ease in front of the camera on both occasions. The photographs and album both turned out beautifully. We would highly recommend them!!!

    Chiaki and Wolfgang keep what they promise, we trusted them with our wedding day coverage and we are truly in love with what they delivered.
    We relive the happiest day of our lives every time we look at these magical images and we can feel the same emotions we felt that day.
    Thank you again, A Day of Bliss, we are so happy we made the right choice and we can only recommend you to the highest degree,
    you are so talented, professional and so easy to work with.

    It was a great pleasure to work w/ Wolfgang and the whole team of Day of Bliss. They were extremely accommodating and their pictures artwork, each one of them. They understood exactly what we wanted and they delivered without a flaw. Cannot recommend them enough.
