    Magical, Lovely, Highly Recommend




    To say that Basia exceeded our every expectation would not be enough. Especially because her book of work, attitude, and warm personality set the bar really high! My husband and I planned a wedding in 2020, and through a reschedule and a downsizing, Basia remained by our side. Sure, the photos she captured of the best day of our life were drop dead gorgeous, but beyond that, she went above and beyond and helped us with vendor recommendations as we faced some COVID-related challenges, she remained excited about our day despite all that is going on in the word today, and she instantly became part of our family after sharing the day with our most intimate family and friends. Basia’s love for love, the beach, and the sun all come through her lens and the resulting photographs perfectly captured what it felt like to be at our small wedding. Something we will be eternally grateful for as we tell our children and grandchildren stories of what it was like to get married in 2020. Basia is always super prompt with communication and always willing to go the extra mile to be a positive contribution to your day. She turned around a beautiful edit to us on a super user-friendly web interface, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones we will have printed. There are too many good ones to choose from! Her style is so romantic, and the spontaneous photos she takes are absolute magic. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed for the formal portraits, which reflects in the photos that will undoubtedly hang in our family’s hallways for years to come. If you are looking for someone who you would love to have around you all day (this is so important!) this is your woman. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and we will be using Basia for all of our family photo needs in the future. If you have the opportunity to book Basia, do not hesitate!

    Best wedding photographer ever!

    Basia was the first vendor we hired after we secured the venue for our big day and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

    Throughout the entire process Basia was transparent, very responsive, and offered great suggestions (we hired a few vendors based on her recommendations and they were all fantastic).

    Basia captured not only our wedding day, she did our engagement photo shoot and rehearsal dinner as well. At each occasion she was going above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and capture the true spirit of the moment.

    The final product Basia delivered was excellent- pictures were beautifully edited and well organized. You can tell that she pours her heart and soul into every picture.

    We not only gained beautiful memories sealed in photographs- we gained a friend!

    Basia, thank you for everything!

    Basia is a true gem in the wedding industry

    Basia was spectacular. My husband and I had a small elopement on the beach in East Hampton and Basia's photos perfectly captured the affair more beautifully than we could have ever imagined. From our very first call, Basia understood my vision and made me feel completely at ease. On the day of, she was a calming presence that was somehow everywhere at once while simultaneously keeping in the background. All of my guests commented on what a wonderful energy and comfort she brought.

    Picture Perfect!

    Amazing!! Im so glad we chose Basia for our photos. They were perfect and really captured our special day. She is an excellent wedding photographer and so easy to work with! Basia was communicative, helpful, kind, knowledgeable, and offered good direction to help us create photos to remember a our day.

    Basia, was the perfect photographer for our wedding. She was easy to communicate with, sensitive, fun, caring and prompt. We spoke prior to the wedding, and she sent us a helpful questionnaire to prepare our list of shots. On our wedding day, Basia showed up on time, and was creative and professional. After we took formal photos with our families, she took my husband and me for a walk around our property for our couple's shots. It was an intimate and special experience, and Basia made it very enjoyable. She truly connected with us. Needless to say, the photos turned out amazing!! She was able to capture the light and romance of our natural setting, as well as the joy of our wedding day. I highly recommend Photo by Basia as a top-notch photographer! - Alejandra & Captain Andy

    Basia has been a dream to work with. Not only did she take beautiful pictures for both our engagement shots and our wedding, she taught us how to feel comfortable on camera, captured natural moments and turned around our pictures faster than I could ever imagine. Honestly I was nervous about being photographed the whole night, but I didn’t even notice her at the wedding. Book basia now, you won’t regret it!

    A true artist

    Basia is amazing! She helped us capture our engagement and wedding in stunning detail. She is a absolute pleasure to work with. Finding a photographer that had a strong artistic eye, but was also open our creative input was important to us. This is where Basia strives. She guided us through the whole process and was super patient. Her website was also really helpful for us to see the other weddings she had shot to give us a sense of her style.
    We also really appreciated how great of a communicator she was. She was easy to contact, and even reached out on her own throughout the year leading up to our wedding to make sure everything went smoothly.
    Unexpected was how fast we got our photos back! We received a few preview shots with a few days and all the final shots in about a week which was a welcome surprise.
    Basia's website where she hosted our photos made it really easy for us to share pictures with friends and family. The site also makes it easy to download to post to instagram/facebook which was a huge time saver.
    Thank you for your incredible work!

    I am so grateful to have found Basia. Her photos came out amazing and she was such a pleasure to work with. She listened to all of my requests and had everything under control so I had nothing to worry about. She captured all of the moments that I was looking for, in a way that felt natural and comfortable. She was also really efficient and took all of the photos I was looking for while still giving me time to enjoy my cocktail hour. I recommend her 100 percent! She's the best.

    From the day I first spoke to Basia about my vision, she was on the same page as me and just as excited as I was. She kept in touch at exactly when she said she would and managed to get every shot I asked for and more! One of the main compliments I keep receiving over and over is that our wedding photos look like they belong in a magazine. The day flies by and I’m so thankful I had Basia to capture it. The photos tell the story of our day. We didn’t even notice her taking the photos at the time, which is awesome!

    Basia is an amazing photographer, she will take truly unique and beautiful photos for you. Our friends and family can't stop gushing about our photos and we can't either! If you're nervous in front of the camera, she knows just what to do and will make you feel at ease; she is so comfortable behind the camera. In the days leading up to our wedding, she was easy to get ahold of and fun to talk with. On the day of our wedding, she came early to scope out the best photo spots at our venue and to take photos of us before our wedding. She's a really lovely person and her genuine happiness for your event enhances a memorable day even further and this joy really comes out in her photos. My husband and I highly recommend Basia, and we hope to use her again for other milestones!

    Basia is the most amazing photographer you could ever hire! It is my pleasure to recommend her with the highest regard. When you meet her, you will feel like you've known her forever. Her warmth and kindness are matched by her incredible skill in photography, and gift for creating memories that will last forever. Having her there on our wedding day was one of the best experiences, and made our day truly magical. Our photos looked like something off the cover of a magazine and our wedding guests all commented on how amazing she is. Her work is absolutely worth the investment and you will feel completely comfortable in her hands. Make an appointment with Basia today - it will be the best decision you ever made!

    Every single picture is perfection!!!! Basia is just incredible - the way she captures ambiance and emotion so vividly in pictures is amazing. All of the images were romantic, sweet, and artistic. She knows how to put you at ease so the pictures feel natural and she finds the special moments between couples and their friends and families. In addition, she is sweet, kind and gentle. No-one even noticed she was taking pictures, but sure enough... she got every single moment I was hoping would be captured. I can't rave enough about her.... she is one of kind. We got married in Montauk and she even got pictures of what was happening around us... i.e. boats pulling up and showing off their catches of the day. My husband loves to fish and these were so cool for him to see! The actual picture taking wasn't distracting from the party either, she took us away from the group for 5-10 mins after the ceremony and that was it. I was so unbelievably blown away by how much love she captured in each individual picture - they all make me cry. Thank you, Basia - you are a dream!! I now understand why the right photographer makes all the difference. I will cherish these images for the rest of my life.

    Basia was a pleasure from start to finish in our engagement and wedding photos! She went above and beyond for us. She really loves her job and it shows through in her demeanor and her pictures. She made us feel at ease throughout the process and in front of the camera - I hate getting my picture taken and don't like forced cliche portrait photos. The pictures she took were natural and captured us in candid moments and we loved how they came out. The wedding album we received is beautiful. She was super quick to turnaround everything and also so detailed and creative. Don't hesitate to hire her, you will be so happy you did!

    Basia was recommended to me by a mutual friend who is also a photographer. After viewing her work on her website, my husband and I were so impressed by her talent that I immediately sent a request for her to contact us. Basia responded promptly with the great news that she was available for our wedding date. We had a great conversation over the phone where Basia got to know us a little more as a couple and we discussed details and pricing. She was always such a pleasure to speak with and responded to all of our emails in a timely manner. We eventually met with Basia in person and both of us immediately felt comfortable and at ease as she walked us through the photo schedule of our wedding day. On the day of our wedding, she did not miss a beat and captured the most beautiful moments from the preparation, the first look, the ceremony, and the reception. When we shared the photos with our friends, they all commented on the beauty of the photos and how they could see and feel the excitement, happiness, and love that we experienced throughout the day and night of our wedding. I cannot express enough how happy we were to have had the experience of working with such a talented, passionate, and kind-hearted woman. I highly recommend Basia Ambroziak to photograph any occasion.

    I originally met Basia when she photographed the wedding of one of my closest friends. I fell in love with the pictures and said to myself that if I ever had a reason to hire a professional photographer, it would be her. She truly has an instinct for capturing that 'just-right' moment between two people.

    Fast-forward six years later, and I am planning a wedding of my own. Once we had a location and date set, Basia was the first vendor we contacted. She was super accommodating - even when our date and location changed once, due to a change in venue. Granted, the change happened before we finalized the contract, but still, she took the change in stride and confirmed our new plans.

    Basia is not inexpensive, but she's not wildly more expensive than photographers we heard about from other 'marrying friends'. She covers locations throughout NYC and beyond. Basically, if you want her at your wedding on a hill in the middle of nowhere, there's a way to make it happen and she will be there.

    She and her assistant Kevin truly captured the spirit of our wedding. Most important of all, everyone - including us - looks AMAZING in the photos. I mean, breathtaking amazing. I am not a naturally photogenic person, and honestly, I was nervous to open the link (received within TWO WEEKS after our wedding!) to see the photos when they were sent to us. My fears quickly vanished when I saw the images. We will cherish these for years and years. I was hopeful we'd have one or two shots to savor, but we have dozen upon dozen that turned out well. Basia has an incredible eye and she will give you and your guests meaningful, but not intrusive, direction while she's photographing. You'll hardly remember she's there, but you'll be WOWED when you see the results.

    Basia was a pleasure to work with! She was recommended by a friend, and I immediately knew why when I saw his wedding pictures. I was drawn to her photos because they have a natural and soft look; no one looks forced or posed in dramatic ways, which is what I was looking for. We absolutely love our wedding pictures!! We got married on a beach right before it started raining, so the wind was getting strong as we took our photos after the ceremony. I was a little worried that my hair was going to look crazy, but Basia seemed to be thrilled with what she was capturing. When we saw the photos we understood… always trust your photographer! :) And the candid shots of our guests captured their personalities perfectly. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to show off our pictures!

    Basia is a very talented photographer. We couldn't be happier with all the wedding photos she took. Always professional, she kept things moving without being obtrusive. She put my husband and I at ease while directing us for the couple photos. She covered every subject we requested and more and had our photos ready sooner than promised.

    She was flexible with her pricing and packages and was very easy to work with. I highly recommend her!

    Basia was by far our favorite vendor for our wedding. She was extremely responsive and attentive to our needs throughout the entire process. She had a very unique way of making you feel immediately at ease and comfortable with her the second you meet her. She made me feel beautiful and special at every moment. She listened and delivered on everything we asked for. She was professional, courteous and probably one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. The pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous and I could have not asked for better memories. She truly has an eye for beauty and her photos are so artistic. I love Basia and would recommend her to anyone. Her prices are insanely reasonable and I still cannot believe what a great deal this was for such a beautiful product. Thank you Basia! xoxo
