Primo L. Sent on 08/07/2023Stop 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. -

Alex B. Sent on 09/20/2023Inbal 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! -

Elenor G. Sent on 04/02/2024Felt 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 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. -

Inbal Sivan is a true gem! In candids and portraits, Inbal captured every detail of our daughter’s wedding day—every smile, smirk, kiss and tear— in the most beautiful way possible. Her style is unique and her images are authentic and full of personality. We are so grateful that we chose her to record the happiest day of our families’ lives. -

Jenne O. Sent on 11/15/2022The 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. -

Inbal and her team created the most magical wedding pictures for our small intimate wedding!
Inbal is one of the most talented photographers in the industry. Not only will she provide her amazing photography skills but she will also make your wedding day fun and relaxed so she can capture the in the moment pictures that most wedding photographers miss. We cherish our wedding pictures and our friendship that we created with Inbal and feel lucky to have had her and her team photograph our special day. -

Inbal is an extremely talented photographer and great to work with. She is a professional but doesn't make you feel like it's the most serious day of your life. (Which the stressed out bride appreciated!) We hired her for our New York wedding in April, as well as for Fall engagement pictures in Central Park, and could not have been happier. She knows how to capture a moment! And even staged photos never felt forced or corny, which was a big worry of ours. She managed to stealthy swoop in and capture so many great, intimate moments without us even noticing. (If she want such a great photographer, she could probably be a successful pickpocket) Our families are blown away by our wedding album and literally bring her pictures to friends houses to show off. Hire her, you will not regret it! -

Sarah R. Sent on 03/19/2020Amazing photos and incredible to work with!
Inbal is incredible! We booked her for our November 2019 wedding in Brooklyn and we were so happy she was available. She was incredibly responsive, professional, and wonderful to work with throughout the process. She helped us make a schedule for photos throughout our wedding day (and even helped us fit in a beautiful outdoor photoshoot before the ceremony at a park nearby...despite the cold weather we got some gorgeous outdoor shots and she did a fantastic job). During the ceremony she captured so many wonderful moments with our family and friends. We recently got our photos and we will treasure them for many years to come. We cannot recommend Inbal highly enough! -

Look no further and hire Inbal, i promise you will thank me later. Her talent and creative mind separates her from every other wedding photographer out there. She captures natural, candid moments that you wouldn’t believe. She is beyond a pleasure to work with and made myself and my now husband feel comfortable and clam and we both don’t love taking pictures. She rallies your troops for you and keeps to schedule. She is an absolute pleasure, professional, kind, and simple just AMAZING!! You must hire her!! -

You'll no doubt be in the best hands with Inbal! We hired her for our wedding in November of 2019, and we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. Not only is she an insanely talented photographer, but she's very organized and an excellent communicator. In my opinion, what makes Inbal and her work so special, is her innate ability to TRULY capture ALL the emotions of the day- emotions in the small moments and emotions in the big ones. And when we look at her beautiful work from our wedding, I can see and feel the day all over again! My husband and I - and our families too - are so thankful for Inbal and her talents :-). -

Simply, perfect
Inbal was the photographer for our NY wedding in November 2019 and she was absolutely amazing. I spoke with a few different photographers when trying to find the right person and our initial conversation made choosing her one of the easiest decisions of the wedding process. During our chat, she already had a timeline of the day outlined and did not try to up sell us on more hours than were needed. It was very clear to me that having her at the wedding would alleviate any stress or pressure on me to make sure things went according to plan. And then her work product - IT IS PERFECT. We did an engagement shoot ahead of time and the pictures are stunning, so I was extra excited following the wedding when I got the pictures from that day. She captured every happy moment, and each photo is better than the next. I'm still working through choosing ones I want to put in an album, but it's impossible to whittle it down because I truly love so many. Definitely a good problem to have! If you want beautiful, candid and natural feeling photos, she's the person for you. I loved spending time with Inbal leading up to the wedding and genuinely hope our paths cross in the future. She is an amazing photographer, but even more so an amazing, lovely, and fun person. -

Inbal was the best part of my wedding!
Inbal was--hands down--one of my favorite people to be around during my wedding AND she was my best vendor, by far and away. I have been recommending her to any person who mentions photos, and since our wedding, I have asked her to provide more services (family portraits). Here is why she is the best decision you’ll make for your wedding or any other photography need, ever:
1. Her photographs are brilliant—I have audible reactions to them. They are beautiful and evoke real emotion and laughter. In my search for a photographer, I kept thinking I was doing something wrong or I didn’t understand photography because nothing moved me; then I went to Inbal’s site and I FELT something. I finally understood THAT is what makes her photographs amazing—they make you feel things, react, respond, engage.
2. She has the perfect personality for being an effective wedding photographer: calm, no-nonsense, gives direction without being bossy, is efficient, respects your preferences and supports bringing them to fruition, does not take herself too seriously, is funny, is authentic.
3. Inbal helped me identify many other vendors for my wedding. I trusted her experience and judgement so much, she referred me to the most important other vendors for my wedding. Through her I got my DJ (who was excellent), my wedding coordinator, and my videographer.
4. She advised me on my wedding. Inbal was SUPER responsive and generous with sharing her wisdom on wedding planning. I would consult her on how to prioritize elements of the wedding, how to design my day, and feedback on my hair & makeup. All of her feedback was clutch and so helpful.
I would use more adjectives, examples and CAPS if I could recommend her more strongly. But I think you get the point. YOU’LL BE LUCKY TO HIRE HER! She is the best, period. -

Inbal is INCREDIBLE. She is the most talented photographer I have ever met, and she captured our day more perfectly than we could have ever imagined. My fiancé and I had the best day of our lives, but after the day was over we were longing to relive it. Inbal helped us relive our small and big moments with more clarity than what we had on that day. She captured moments we don't even remember, and moments that we do. She does absolutely stunning work.
