Engagement Photos

Michelle was wonderful!! She was so accommodating and flexible especially at a place she had never been before with a last minute change! She was even patient with us and our dog who we wanted in photos so badly!
She gave us great ideas for poses and photos etc you can tell she enjoys what she does very much and wants everything to look perfect for you!

I also had different ideas for photos / themes she helped bring to life and adjusted on the spot to make it amazing for us.

We’re so happy!

Amazing team!

Contemporary Image did an amazing job with our wedding photos! Emil was so helpful during the planning process, he was very responsive and helped with every idea we had. On our wedding day we had Mary and a Michelle - they were both amazing!! They were so much fun to work with and had great ideas when it came to getting the best pictures. We highly recommend Contemporary Image!

Picture Perfection!

It was really important to my husband and I to find a photographer that would be able to capture us as a couple. When we met with Emil, we knew he was our guy. He’s been in the business a long time and is a skillful professional. He knew our venue like the back of his hand, he knew exactly where we had to go for a beach shot to avoid traffic, he was quick but precise with our shots which made things nice for our HOT and humid wedding day. Emil and Dru were very efficient on our wedding day, while Emil was getting shots of the bridesmaids, Dru was getting pictures of the grooms party. From the getting ready shots to the first look to the ceremony they had a perfect balance of getting the posed pictures without losing the intimate moments. We never felt uncomfortable or not like ourselves. Throughout the whole day they were the very definition of professional. They even got down in the dirt or in the bushes to get the perfect picture, never complaining, again our wedding day was about 100 degrees. I can’t thank Emil and Dru enough for all of their hard work. We cannot wait to see the final product, we know they will be beautiful!

5.4.19 Wedding

Emil and Michelle are an absolute joy to work with. They captured every special moment of our wedding day and paid special attention to detail. Not to mention they added personal touches of things that my husband and I enjoy. I had Emil during prep time. We were chatting about Game of Thrones because we saw an advertisement in the room. He took that ad and turned it into one of the most awesome pictures we have ever seen! He posed our wedding rings on the ad and added may the fourth be with you ( we got married on star wars day ). Everyone who has seen it thinks it is the coolest thing and we simply love it! Michelle and Emil pay close attention to what would make a great shot and are really fun to work with. A few snapshots were shared with me during the day and I couldn't believe that it was me. The pictures were absolutely gorgeous. It was one of the most fun and easy processes. Cannot thank them enough!

I found Contemporary Image Photographers through my brother & sister-in-law who used their services for their wedding a few years back at the Water Witch. My husband and I decided to have our wedding out in Perkasie, PA, which neither one of us are from the area. So when looking for a photographer I knew I wanted to use someone I knew, so I reached out to Emil. Emil and Michelle were our photographers for our June 8th, 2018 wedding at Pearl S Buck International. I can't say enough about how great they were to work with.....they were very professional, but so easy and fun throughout the entire day! They captured some amazing & memorable moments. Our wedding photos (over 3000) turned out beautiful and I received them through their online portal within 2 weeks of my wedding day, which I didn't expect how quickly they would turn these around. It was so nice to see them when we got back from our honeymoon. Thank you Michelle & Emil!!!

Emil and Michelle’s wedding photography was perfect! Emil walked us through our entire day and set out a perfect plan for us to get every shot we wanted, don’t know what we would’ve done without him!

My husband and I were incredibly lucky. The package offered by our venue included Contemporary Image as our photography/videography company. This alleviated the pressure from finding “the right” photography company on our own. Instead, it became immediately clear why Crystal Point Yacht Club works with Contemporary Image: they are “the right” company. Emil, Andrew, Jeff, and Michelle are all so unbelievably talented, friendly, easy-going and accommodating. They’re also 100% attentive. They never missed a moment. We didn’t have to think if we wanted something to be captured. They knew—and they were on top of it. If we had searched for a month interviewing every photography company in New Jersey, I am confident we would have ultimately chosen Contemporary Image. Not only did they take high quality photos and video they are simply the type of people you want at your wedding.

Michelle and Jeff captured the guys preparing in the morning. It was a matter of minutes before we were all laughing with them and they felt as though they belonged there as guests and friends rather than as the highly skilled artists that they are. When we said goodbye to them, it was as though our friends were leaving.

On the bride’s side of pre-church preparations, Emil and Andrew were fantastic. They arrived early to set up all they needed and made me feel very comfortable the whole day. They captured so many awesome moments that I will treasure for a lifetime. These guys are true professionals. They had everything so organized-even down to the time of the morning when the lighting would be perfect for taking the most beautiful outside photos. They took amazing pictures with us in our robes, having fun, doing our makeup and hair, getting dressed; all the special moments before the big “I DO!” When you’re considering photographers for your wedding, you don’t need to look any further. Say “I do” to Contemporary Image.

We got married March 24, 2018 at Crystal Point Yacht Club! We are so happy we used Contemporary Image! Emil and Michelle were both amazing! They were patient and made sure we were set up for the perfect shots! They were very organized and Emil met with us prior to make sure we got everything we wanted! I can’t thank Emil and Michelle enough! He also sent us a sneak peek of our images very quickly after the wedding and we are already so impressed with all the pictures! :)
