Absolutely Incredible!

We cannot recommend Kang and Brian Dorsey Studios enough! Kang did an engagement photo shoot for us as well as our wedding photos and was so kind and patient throughout the entire process. He made us feel very comfortable being ourselves in front of the camera. We told Kang that we wanted to just have moments captured rather than manufactured and he did a beautiful job getting amazing shots without us feeling like we were having to do forced poses the entire time. On top of that, the quality of the photos was absolutely incredible. Kang was punctual, professional, and truly went the extra mile to make sure we got all of the shots that were important to us on such a special day. Thanks to Kang and the entire Brian Dorsey Studio teams we have a wide array of timeless, beautiful photos to choose from.

We are so grateful that we decided to go with Brian Dorsey Studios for our wedding photography. We decided to go with Justin and we made a great decision. Justin was very easy to work with and incredibly helpful at a time when people can get pretty stressed out. We did our engagement photo shoot with Justin and those pictures were perfect. Our wedding photos came out better than we could have dreamed. We highly recommend Brian Dorsey Studios and Justin to anyone looking for a world class wedding photographer.

This review is long overdue despite our whole photo experience being one of the best parts of our wedding. I can't say enough wonderful things about Brian, Kim, Cody and the logistics team Katie and Jillian. My hubby is scarred from his mom who constantly took photos growing up - so he literally sees a camera and frowns. Definitely not someone you would describe as photogenic! Despite this, they managed to grab dozens and dozens of great shots. One of the reasons we chose Brian was because we liked the natural, un-staged feeling of his photos. Not a cheesy photo in sight! They really delivered on every aspect, from beautiful stolen moments to incredible individual portraits of family/guests to artistic beauties and great ambience/venue shots. What's more, is the actual experience working with Brian and the team - so friendly and easygoing. Brian actually saved us when we couldn't find the kiddish cups necessary for the ceremony and my bouquet...he remembered in all the bustle that we sent them to the venue with my mom, who hadn't arrived yet and we were able to relax. Aside from helpful interventions like that or helping me pin the boutonniere, once the wedding got going you didn't notice them photographing at all. They captured about 1,000 amazing photos and it is painfully hard to choose favorites because every one is so good. They were one of our splurges and we definitely feel we made the right decision. Yes they are pricey but you have to remember how strenuous the work is both physically (carrying several big cameras each) and mentally (engaged and artistic every minute of the day and night) - there literally wasn't a second that went by they didn't catch from 3pm-12am. You pay for what you get. Thank you Brian, Cody and Kim - JUST OUTSTANDING!

Brian Dorsey and his team documented our wedding in the most professional, creative, and thoughtful way. He and our wedding planner took me out alone right before the ceremony and took pictures of me in my wedding dress on the streets of Manhattan. I even got a photo with a hot dog vendor! He helped orchestrate a "moment before" in Central Park where my husband and I saw each other for the first time right before the ceremony. This took the pressure off the cocktail hour and got the bulk of the posed photos out of the way. Those pictures are incredible! He also set up our huge bridal party of 16 in the park and took some amazing pictures with all of us that are fun and reflect our personal style. During the ceremony he hid a camera in the archway that we got married under and using a remote control was able to get pictures of my husband and I during the ceremony from an incredibly close angle. During the reception he had a tv monitor with a slideshow of the pictures we had taken that afternoon and added pictures throughout the night so guests could see the pics then and there! Our guests loved that!
I recommend Brian Dorsey Studios wholeheartedly.

Brian is an incredible photographer! he takes the most beautiful photos, comes up with the most creative ideas for poses and is a ton of fun to work with. He is definitly on the pricey side but totally worth it--If you can afford to splurge on any 1 vendor this is the one!

My Fiancé and I booked Ron and Kim from Brian Dorsey Studios as our photographers and it was one of the best decision we could ever make for our wedding pictures!
A friend of our recommended them and although they are not cheap we feel that they were worth every penny .
From the first minute Ron and Kim walked into the room, they were so nice and made us feel comfortable and relaxed, we really enjoyed ourselves the entire time.
Their attention to detail and their professionalism will no doubt shine through in every frame.
They really made our day unforgettable!
