Wedding Photographer

I have no idea where to begin! Irena was VERY accommodating to the situation my husband and I were in. Her work truly speaks for itself. She was so great to work with! Typically photographers talk up each couple and it may come across as if they sound like robots who say the same thing to everyone, but with Irena it never felt that way. She was super helpful in making sure we knew how to pose and encouraged us to be as natural as possible with out it being awkward. One of the best things a guest at our wedding said was that Irena blended in with the crowd, and never felt like there was someone hovering taking photos. The photos that we got back were SOOO perfect and well organized! After viewing all of our photos it was like getting the opportunity to relive every moment of our special day! Communication was great too! Any other photography needs in the future, I would 100% go through Irena! I could not recommend her enough! She helped make our big day so perfect!

Great experience working with Irena

It was a pleasure to work with Irena. She is very professional. We hired her to conduct a live stream of our wedding so that guests abroad could watch live. It went perfectly. So happy as she was able to allow my dad to be a part of the wedding even although he wasn’t here with us. No complaints. Really a joy working with Irena!

Perfect choice!

Irena and I had an instant connection when we first spoke on the phone. She was responsive, engaging, and really conveyed her passion for her profession. On the wedding day, she was truly focused on us and our happiness, but patient with our families. It was such a pleasure working with her and we loved her spontaneous, warm, and joyful nature!

Magical fairytale dream come true

Working with Irena and her crew was an absolute dream. Planning a wedding from afar was incredibly stressful but once I spoke with Irena, I knew she had me covered. She was so easy to talk to, answered all of my questions and concerns, and made adjustments to accommodate my long distance situation.

When we met on my wedding day, it’s like we had been friends for years. She worked absolute magic and I still get teary eyed when I see the dreamy photos from my little Westerly, Rhode Island wedding.

Irena is professional, knowledgeable, an incredibly talented photographer, and an all around amazing human.

Irena is an absolute joy and pleasure to work with! She is so amazingly talented! I worked with Irena on numerous photos-shoots and events, she takes such beautiful photos! Our company is working with her again on another photo-shoot this Winter and we just can't wait; her attention to detail and her subjects are unparalleled! If you need an excellent photographer, please do not hesitate to contact her! Irena is responsive, thoughtful and dedicated. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome creative gift!

First and foremost, we truly believe wedding photos are extremely important, and quality photos that capture this most special event are treasured for years and years to come.

We were inundated with responses to our request for a wedding photographer and carefully reviewed the proposals and work of all the applicants. Irena Mandel was undoubtedly head and shoulders above the crowd in terms of her caring approach to the event and her strong desire to capture and convey the emotions and excitement of the day. So, we asked her to photograph our wedding.

Irena's professionalism, creativity and photographic results are absolutely outstanding :)) Her timing and eye for capturing the moment with priceless photos is truly a gift given only to the photographic elite. We can not imagine that anyone would not be amazed and overjoyed with her work. Thank you so much Irena for our wedding photos that we will treasure always.

Irena of Little Bunny Photo did the photography for my both my engagement photos as well as my 2013 wedding and I highly recommend her services!

Our engagement shoot took place at a local pick-your-own farm, where we intended to take pictures with their blooming cherry trees. Little did we expect the trees to only be knee-high! Irena took it in stride and executed on a lovely shoot in the apple orchards...and we even spent some time with goats (always a win in my book). We had fun and the pictures came out lovely.

Our wedding photos are exquisite. We got married at a little herb farm in central MA surrounded by our nearest and dearest friends and family- a much smaller wedding than we had originally assumed we would be having, but absolutely perfect for our quiet hearts. Irena was prepared, professional, and quite clearly enjoyed what she was doing.

She was and is, in short, a joy to work with.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Irena is top notch. She's incredibly charming and extremely talented. She pours her heart into her clients and her work reflects it! Not only is it rewarding second shooting for her, but just being in her positive presence. She's a hard worker, has a great eye, is extremely charismatic, has tons of experience with weddings, and also photographs babies and families through her business, Little Bunny Photo. If you choose her as your photographer, you'll love working with her the entire way through.
