Irene is Amazing!!!!

We are beyond thrilled that we hired Irene at Brooklyn Focus Photography to photograph our wedding. She was an absolute pleasure from the first day we spoke.. extremely organized and communicative. We knew after our first conversation that she was the one! Her photos are absolutely stunning and she made our wedding day stress free! Not to mention the sweetest woman!! Thank you Irene!!

Absolutely amazing!

Irene is the most caring and sweet person you can ever meet. She exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day! We were brought to tears we we had our photo viewing .. every single shot was amazing! We are so thankful for her, she has been a huge part of our entire wedding process and it would not have been nearly as perfect without her.

Dream Come True

Irene was an absolute dream come true for our wedding! We had weather mishaps the day of the wedding and a few little wardrobe malfunctions with our men's ties - but Irene was on it and made sure everything went smoothly! I have only gotten our sneak peek pictures back so far - but they are BEAUTIFUL! Her pricing is so fair and she goes above and beyond what she charges. I couldn't recommend Brooklyn Focus enough!!!!

I love you Irene!

This is my love letter to Irene of Brooklyn Focus Photography. Irene, choosing you as our wedding photographer was the BEST decision! Having a wedding in 2020 was a challenge…but working with you was a dream! You knew exactly what we were looking for and delivered. Throughout postponements and constant changes, you were reliably pleasant and accommodating. On the wedding day, you and your second shooter (forgive me I forgot his name) blended in perfectly and captured every important moment. The photographs are unbelievably beautiful…I scroll through them ALL THE TIME! From our experience working with you, I believe you were born to do this job. Thank you thank you thank you for immortalizing our wedding day. We’ll be calling you in the future when it’s time for family photo sessions!

Amazing!!!

Irene truly goes above and beyond! She made Dalton and I feel so comfortable working with her from the moment we met at our engagement photos! She listens to exactly what you want in photographs, takes her time to get to know you as a couple and makes every effort to make you feel comfortable and natural. On the day of our wedding she made sure everything ran smoothly and on time, all our must have photos were taken and even made sure to take that one photo at night mid reception that we really wanted. Our wedding guest said they felt like they had paparazzi and loved how on top of it her and her team were with capturing every moment! We even had the honor or working with her at a styled shoot, her professionalism is superior. She is the sweetest and you can tell she really has a passion for what she does which makes all the difference! We truly can’t wait to hire her in the future. You won’t regret hiring her!!

Amazing Experience with Irene!

Irene was a dream photographer! I chose the mini-wedding package since that fit my small wedding perfectly, but Irene treated me like I a platinum customer. Throughout the whole process she was very communicative, flexible, and helpful. On the day, she was there helping out with things totally outside her purview all while capturing moments and details unobtrusively. I cared most about the candid photos from the day, and Irene made sure we got some beautiful couple/wedding party/family portraits in short amount of time. She was great with the family, too. She also sent me just a couple of photos on the day of the wedding that I appreciated so much. I love far too many photos to share even my most favorite, but I'll try to include a sampling. I'm so grateful for Irene's wonderful work, and highly, highly, highly recommend her!

The best of the best

Irene was exactly what my husband and I were looking for. She is attentive, responds quickly, really makes you feel like a priority and takes some absolutely jaw dropping photos. If you want a photographer that listens to what you want and has wonderful ideas I highly suggest snagging her up!

Went Above and Beyond

Irene literally will make your dreams come true! She built such a connection with us the bride and groom that I never knew was much needed. Literally from the day she was hired she outdid herself. With COVID coming unexpectedly I thought our wedding plans flunked but with many adjustments needed to be done and the help of Irene I personally believe my wedding came out better than it was going to be before. The pictures we received along the way were just BEAUTIFUL. She also made the whole wedding party feel special! We will definitely hire Irene again for any special event in the future!

Truly amazing!

Irene was the absolute best!! My husband and I aren’t very comfortable in front of the camera so that usually means very awkward pictures or many unusable shots. But with Irene I loved almost ALL of our micro engagement and our wedding pictures. I had about 70 “favorites” just from our wedding pics alone. She made us feel so comfortable and got so many gorgeous and candid shots. My husband and I look better than we ever have! I’m obsessed with the pictures along with everyone else 🥰. They’re absolutely STUNNING, we look like we belong in a magazine (again, which is crazy!). She is sweet, funny, kind, and overall just amazing!
