    Incredible photographer and nicest person to work with!

    Glen captured the most incredible moments from our wedding day. He was fun to work with and we had complete confidence working with him. In addition to being an extremely talented photographer, he is just the nicest, friendliest guy and helped us to feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We also did an engagement shoot with Glen and it was so worth it. I have used the photos from that for so many things already! I truly cannot say enough good things about Glen - I laugh, cry and smile for the remainder of the day every time I look at my wedding photos.

    We hired Glen to shoot our engagement and wedding pictures. The first meeting was great and he explained everything to us and answered countless questions I had. He was extremely nice and professional and even answered numerous questions I emailed him after our initial meeting. Our wedding is next April however we just took our engagement pictures. We went to countless locations and took tons of shots he never rushed us which I really appreciated and made us feel like he had all the time in the world for us. His assistant was great as well and made us very relaxed and comfortable. The results were amazing! I couldn't ask for better pictures and I typically hate pictures of myself. I'm thrilled to use these for our save the dates. Glen is super responsive and attentive. We couldn't have asked for a better final result and I can't wait to take the pictures on the day of our wedding because I know they will be awesome!

    Our photos turned out amazing! Glen was great to work with. From the beginning we worked with us to prepare a quote that was within our budget, we had a few phone calls to review our plans and what we wanted in which he provided his own ideas based on his familiarity with our location. Finally, the day of, it was much hotter than anticipated (the wedding was all outside), and he adapted quickly to get great pictures while keeping everyone comfortable. We would definitely recommend Glen to any couples looking for a great photographer!

    Since day one working with Glen Cooper he was so personable and exceptional! His work is top notch and he puts his clients first- he even drove out to our house during a snow storm! He will give you exactly what you request. Our photos came out stunning! His creativity and style were exactly what we were looking for. We loved him so much we even recommended him to a few friends! If you are looking for the best photographer in the Boston area for your engagement/wedding photos you really need to book it with Glen and his team- you will not be disappointed!!!!

    Glen was everything we were looking for in a photographer. Amazingly talented, professional, responsive and just plain fun to be around.

    We met with close to a dozen people before meeting Glen. We met at least three that seemed perfect and most likely would have been happy with any of them. But I have to say when we met Glen, saw his work and discussed our plans we had zero doubt that he was the one. We were kind of blown away at how easy the decision was to go with him and called him about ten minutes after the meeting to lock in the details.

    The engagement and wedding day came and went without any stress or worry about Glen. We knew he would get the job done and the peace of mind was worth twice what we paid, not to mention the amazing photos he took.

    We are still so bowled over by how beautiful the photos are -- the summer light, the flowers, the paella, and all the happy people look wonderful -- and by how well they capture the emotions of the day and the personalities and relationships of everyone there. Looking at them really does feel a bit like re-living our wedding. Nate and Glen absolutely understood what was important to us. They were also so good at putting everyone at ease - we and our guests rarely even noticed we were being photographed! We have been enjoying looking through them and showing them to our family and friends so much, and we're looking forward to putting together an album. It is going to be a little painful to pick a few favorites though - there are so many perfect vignettes of the day!

    If I could give them more than 5 stars, I would.

    Right from the start, Asha and Glen were so easy and fun to work with. Asha always answered my questions so quickly and was always cheerful and eager to help. I had no idea what I wanted from my photography package and she helped me sort that out.

    We did our engagement shoot with Glen and we ended up with some fabulous photos to display at the shower and the wedding. We had Chris and Natasha as our photographers for the wedding. We got a chance to meet with Chris a couple months before the wedding so we could make a schedule and talk about what kind of photos we wanted. At the wedding, everyone in our bridal party loved Chris and Natasha and had a blast with them, but at the same time, we didn't feel their presence as they took photos. They were able to blend in with the crowd or stay on the sidelines but still get fabulous shots.

    My husband and I are a bit nervous around the camera and didn't really know how to pose, but at both the engagement shoot and the wedding, each photographer was able to help us look natural and also capture some great candids.

    At first, I thought DMPJ was out of my budget and I tried to find another photographer. I couldn't find anyone whose pictures moved me as much as the ones I saw on the DMPJ website, so I decided to book DMPJ. They are truly a group of gifted professionals. I absolutely do not regret choosing to go over my budget on the photography because we are so happy with what we got. When I looked through my online album for the first time, the photos brought back all the emotions I felt that day and I could even hear what songs were playing at the time. We've received lots of compliments on our photos and I find myself looking through the online album again once a week! I can’t wait to choose our prints and see our album come together.

    Weddings are tough to plan and there is a lot that you have to think about. One thing that was easy for us, was knowing that photography was one of the most important things to us. It's the one of the only tangible things that lasts and the only thing that brings those non tangible memories back to life. Knowing this, picking DMPJ was an easy thing to do. Their photography is an art – not just a pretty picture. And it captures a story – not just a moment. It truly brings our special day to life every time we look at them. And I can't even tell you how amazing Glen, Asha, and Chris were to work with. I am so happy that DMPJ was my photographer.

    Dear Glen, Nate and Asha,

    I don't know where to begin...how can we express our gratitude for these unbelievably beautiful photos? You captured every detail and every emotion from start to finish. It was so amazing to look through each picture and 're-live' our day while smiling, laughing, tearing up... You truly created our once in a lifetime love story from these pictures and we will have these to cherish for always as constant reminders of the happiest day of our lives :) From the first time we spoke, you have been nothing less than gracious and attentive to every request... and having the engagement session with you allowed us to let our guard down and see you as a true artist. We are forever grateful for your talent and kindness...we are so lucky to have found two photographers who take so much pride in what they do. Thank you for everything...absolutely everything :)

    Best,
    Rachel and Bill

    After viewing the DMPJ website, Earl and I knew we wanted the same proficiency and fashion in our wedding photos. DMPJ did not need to convince us of the quality photojournalism we would receive through them, simply because their artwork speaks for itself brilliantly and we were already sold.

    DMPJ did an excellent job guiding us through the business process and employed great communication along the way. Our in person meeting and our phone calls with Asha and Chris left us feeling confident we were in good hands. Throughout the process, all questions and concerns were resolved simply and promptly. In general, the services provided were very professional, accommodating and encouraging.

    We knew everyone at DMPJ was looking forward to our wedding day. Their appreciation and thoughtfulness was shown unexpectedly through a gift of chocolates and a post card. These small acts of kindness filled us with gratitude for choosing DMPJ: we had amazing talent with equally amazing character working for us!

    Earl and I have thoroughly enjoyed previewing our photos online; we are overwhelmed with gratitude and excitement! Reliving our beautiful day through the lens of DMPJ has been pure bliss. We are thrilled to see more. Our wedding day was very special and we’re so glad to have shared it with DMPJ.

    My wife and I could not have been happier with the job Glen Cooper and his team did at our wedding. Even before the big day Glen was never out of communication with us to make sure our day would go as planned; from in person meetings, to phone conferences, to numerous emails, Glen was available, responsive and highly professional. We chose Glen as our photographer because we were extremely impressed with the artistic and creative touch he added to his photos and we knew that when all was said and done we would have a special portfolio of pictures that were unlike anyone's. Well, the photos came the other day and they exceeded our expectations! Glen and his team captured all the moments we had hoped for and then some, with over 1,000 pictures, every minute of our day and night were documented just as we had hoped. We would highly recommend Glen Cooper to any bride and groom NOT looking for a stodgy photographer and a lot of formals, but for a professional, fresh, and creative perspective, and a ton of spectacular memories. Thanks Glen, Asha, Chris, & Nate, you're the best!

    If I could give Glen 7 stars out of 5 I would!! We had two wedding parties, one on the east coast and one on the west coast, and he photographed both. He is super fun to work with, makes all the guests feel comfortable and is a calming positive presence at the wedding. He is SUPER committed to doing whatever it takes to get the best shot and his results are just fantastic...all of our guests have made comments about the beautiful photographs including the families....using Glen will be the best decision you ever made =)

    We could not have asked for a better photography crew to work with on our wedding day! Everyone that we worked with at DMPJ was friendly, patient and understanding throughout the entire process. The photographs that they captured the entire day were above and beyond my expectations. Glen and Chris worked together and didn't miss a single moment or detail and did so in a creatively, graceful and discrete manner throughout the day. They have given us memories that will last a life time and we would recommend DMPJ highly without hesitation. Thanks guys!

    Choosing DMPJ to photograph our wedding was by far the easiest (and best) decision we made when planning four our wedding. Their work is flawless, their assistance in the process is continual, their talent is boundless. They were open to all of our ideas, helped us make the tough decisions and made the entire process enjoyable, something that we lacked from many of our other vendors. Even after the wedding their professionalism did not stop. With a September wedding we knew it would be difficult to get all of our pictures ready and prepared for the album for Christmas so that we could purchase mini albums for family and friends, but Asha and Glen worked tirelessly with us to make sure that the process was not only smooth but that we also ended up with the best album we could. If I ever need a photographer for any occasion here on out, the only one that I would ever consider is dmpj.

    DMPJ truly made my wedding day everything I had imagined. As a bride (or groom) you spend, on average, an entire year planning and envisioning your day. (If you are like me, you've been envisioning walking down the aisle since you were 5...)

    After the wedding, all you have to remember the efforts, memories and emotions from it are your pictures. Glen, Chris, Asha and the entire team at DMPJ captured everything we could ever hope for and we will now remember our wedding day as if we were right back in the moment of it all!

    We had them create an album and our thank you cards and everything from the process to the quality is way above expectations!

    Photography was the most important aspect of wedding planning for me. My mom gave me some great advice: when the day is over, all you have left are each other and the pictures. So it was vital that I found someone who would document the day thoroughly and beautifully.

    DMPJ did an absolutely fantastic job at our engagement session and wedding. From the first phone call, communication with the company never presented any problems. The photographers went out of their way before the events to carefully go over logistics with us to make sure any potential wrinkles were ironed out ahead of time. We had Glen and Taylor at our wedding and they were awesome. They showed up with cameras ready hours before the ceremony when I was getting ready and my husband was out racing gocarts with his friends :) Glen was really good at directing us for formal and group shots...with the chaos of your wedding day you need someone to tell you where to go, how to stand, etc etc. He was also open to our own ideas as well. My father said Glen was the hardest working photographer he had ever seen. It was amazing how many pictures he took, and how many little moments he captured that I would have otherwise completely missed.

    DMPJ was great in letting us know when we needed to start making album decisions in order to get everything by the holidays. It was a bit daunting to comb through a thousand images to pick our top eighty, but we were so happy with the final product. It was so nice to be able to give nice albums to our parents for Christmas and Hanukkah.

    I would recommend DMPJ for wedding photography anytime. It is a small company with down-to-earth people who love what they do (and do it well) and want to make customers happy.

    Glen was an amazing photographer - on time, exceptionally professional, and just all-around fantastic. He and Asha were very flexible about different package options, so we were able to get exactly what we wanted. Everyone who has seen the pictures comments on how beautiful they are. Somehow, Glen managed to make my husband and I look incredibly photogenic in every shot! His photos really tell the complete story of our wedding day - looking at the gallery of pictures made my husband start crying all over again, just like he did during the actual wedding! It's hard to pick a favorite picture because there are so many amazing ones. He captured several moments perfectly - like when my husband and I first saw each other - when I look at the pictures it totally brings me back to those moments.

    Decisive Moment is absolutely the best. Darren was the photographer, and he did such a wonderful job. I didn?t want posing wedding pictures. I was looking for special eyes to capture the important moments, the smile, and the veil in the wind, the glance from the groom to the bride, the cute but shy flower girls? faces, and tears from the parents? And guess what, Darren did it all. Asha and Glen are great as well. They are the best team. I am very happy that one day I came cross with their work online, and it caught my eyes?

    Glen was amazing! He was super friendly to all our guest, even included the children of guests in help with setting up some shots after they asked. He took many many wonderful shots. He went out of his way again and again. He met with us before to plan out the day and get the certain shots we wanted. He was, by far, the best vendor of the day! You will NOT be disappointed!

    I felt like I got quite a deal. I contracted two photographers -- to save money, I didn't hire the head photographer, but contracted an associate and an unnamed junior assistant. But it turned out the head photographer came as the assistant, so I got two pros! It showed in the result; the "highlight" photos he chose were amazing, and the "ordinary" group would be another photographers highlights. There was tremendous variety of camera angle and color; many of the pictures were in impressive in multiple dimensions ... i.e. not only did they a picture tell a story, but it had dramatic composition too, or not only was it a fab glamour shot, but the light and color were also extraordinary. I wish I could learn to do that (my best pictures are usually exceptional in one way at most.) You get something you really couldn't do yourself.

    Choosing a wedding photographer in many ways is like choosing an author to write a part of your biography. My Wife and I feel very fortunate to have found DMPJ and Glen Cooper to document the chapter of our wedding day.

    Our pictures were incredible and our overall experience was amazing. If you are still searching for somebody to photograph your wedding day do yourself a favor and contact DMPJ. They are true professionals with a great perspective.

    That is so sweet! It is like writing, isn't it! :-)

    They were exceptionally helpful working with me to make my package perfect. Glen took the time to visit both my ceremony and reception locations prior to the wedding. Even though my wedding was very large he and his assistants didnt miss a thing. My pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. It was well worth the money to get the unique and artistic pictures I was looking for.

    We had an incredible experience working with Glen and his team & were blown away by there attention to detail, commitment to getting the perfect pictures & their flexibility.

    We had a destination wedding (in the Berkshires) and Glen met us several months in advance to walk the grounds & to really get to know us. Leading up to the wedding, any question or concern that we had was answered promptly!

    On the day of the wedding, Glen and Chris spent several hours with the wedding party & captured some incredible, intimate shots. Throughout the day the seamlessly moved around the ceremony and reception & produced some of the most amazing pictures that we have ever seen!

    We would recommend Glen and his team to anyone that wants to have truly remarkable photo memories of their special day!

    Working with Decisive Moment Photojournalists was a dream. Glen and Asha, the married couple who are behind the studio are relaxed, patient and extremely creative. There was no stress involved with planning the photos we wanted shot, or arranging meetings with them prior to the wedding. The day of, Glen and his team were everywhere, and in a good way. They knew how to get information from family and friends about where the bride was getting ready, etc. and arrived to capture some great moments without being intrusive...I would say the same for the ceremony and the reception. The best part of the whole deal was the photographs that we ended up with-I never expected them to be so incredibly beautiful and timeless. There was so much range in emotion captured in all the images-Glen is a true artist. There are fantastic portraits that convey the intimacy of the moment with my husband and I, as well as amazing shots of of our crazy families on the dance floor that I will treasure forever. I would highly, highly recommend DMPJ!
