Exceptional

What a pleasure and pleasant experience to work with Nigrelli Photography! From our first meeting and throughout our event and follow-up, Jim took time to get to know us and our vision of capturing our wedding day and things that were important to us. Our wedding photos are beautiful and we received them and the album in a timely manner. The pandemic of 2020 forced us to implement a Plan B, and Jim was so accommodating and encouraging. The day was perfect in every way, and Nigrelli Photography provided us with the most wonderful and blessed visual memories a bride and groom could have hoped for. Thank you, Jim.

Above and Beyond

Nigrelli Photography exceeded all of our expectations and hopes capturing our wedding in January of 2025. Beginning with our first meeting, we could tell that Jim and his wife Yolanda wanted to learn all about us and our plans And even better they had the experience to know what specific questions to ask, bringing up issues and ideas that we hadn’t even thought of (and we have both been married before).
We reviewed the ceremony in detail, so that they could make sure to be in the best positions. Because they work together, they could be sure to capture the most important parts from the best angles They studied the church’s website photos beforehand. We went over the participants, the helpers and the guests. They had suggestions for groupings and the general timeline (like be sure to get the childrens’ photos first)
They arrived at 9:30 (for an 11:00 ceremony) and stayed til we left @ 3:00. They were tireless , recording each guest as they congratulated us in the reception line, the spontaneous interactions between guests and every toast. And yet we were barely aware of them.
But the best part was getting the photographs. The quality is what you hope for, of course. But the Nigrellis are artists as well as photographers. We could not be happier each and every time we review our photos, but digital photos do not.
Be sure you engage the BEST for this crucial piece of your arrangements. There is no doubt that Nigrelli Photography IS the best!
And congratulations!

Collecting Memories of Our Wedding

Because this day meant so much to us and our families we found Jim Nigrelli to be the special professional to capture this! We are not used to being in front of a camera. It was Jim's gentle playfulness that brought out all our best! He read our wedding party and family members so well, as evidenced in close up photos and beautifully panned images. He honored us in all aspects: what we were able to spend, and especially the professional ability to recognize richness in the unexpected! Thank you, Jim, for dreamy memories of a day that we and our family will always adore.

Attentive, Amazing, Timeless

Our wedding day was perfect -- before, during, and after -- captured beautifully in print and video by Nigrelli Photography. Their standard of service is top notch, and we greatly appreciate their willingness to photograph our wedding & reception amidst challenges of the 2020 pandemic. Very nice folks to work with. Highly recommend Nigrelli Photography.

Local Photographer with an Eye for Capturing Moments

We hired the Nigrellis for our wedding in 2013, and they did a fantastic job. They were unobtrusive and got wonderful pictures that we have put up all over our house. Their pictures capture both the big, expected wedding moments as well as the smaller things that some people wouldn't think about (macro shots of dress detailing, wedding rings, etc). They listen to suggestions and will work with you to get the perfect pictures. Highly recommend!

Jim was with us every step of the way

My daughter was to be married in November. I had everything set, the wedding chapel location, the hotel, the florist and the photographer. The closer we got to the date, the more concerning the increase in COVID cases became. My parents, who had been isolated since March and are both considered high risk, decided it was unwise to make the trip. For a minute, we thought we would carry on anyway, Jim and I made our planned scouting trip to Dahlonega—and used the drive time to cast a vision for our three day, small family event (24 people). My daughter is a physician in the Air Force. She is stationed at Wright Patterson AFB in Dayton, OH. COVID cases were spiking even worse there, and as you might have already imagined, one member of the Ohio family (also a health care professional—four total in our group of 24) got sick with COVID in the week leading up to the wedding and unknowingly exposed the rest of the Ohio group, including my daughter and her family, before becoming symptomatic herself. My daughter made the decision to postpone (our second postponement). Jim was with us throughout the days of discernment. He was a tremendous source of support and encouragement. I’m not entirely sure my older daughter will try again. She’s already married. This was to be a small family celebration of that marriage, since we were not with her when she married two years ago during her residency. When my youngest daughter marries, we will most certainly book with Jim. He really got to know our family, our unique family needs, and was an incredible partner in the design and planning process—all the way up to timing the ceremony to conclude just as sunset fell into the large picture window in the chapel. I regret we couldn’t see this wedding to fruition, but I very much look forward to working with Jim again on the next one!

There for us with patience and dedication!

An absolute delight! Not only were the pictures amazing, but working with the Mr. Nigrelli was easy and fun. Mr. Nigrelli was very patient with my "bride brain" leading up to the big day. There were a couple of times I had forgotten to reply to an email or text message, and he was so kind and patient and understanding! He was also available to us for most of the day, so he was able to get some amazing shots of us just chilling before getting ready and such, which add a nice touch as it reminds us of the fun and excitement of the day. He was open and receptive to my requests, but also captured some really magical moments without me having to ask. He was intuitive to the special lighting and atmosphere that Savannah has to offer. The photos were really great but his amicable personality made the day and the photo portion that much easier and fun to do. Weddings are stressful and hectic, but he made this one aspect of it easy. We didn't have to worry about it one bit. Seriously, pick him. You'll thank your lucky stars he was there.

Excellent quality of pictures and full coverage of the events

We hired Jim Nigrelli (Nigrelli Photography) for our Indian wedding. We were little concerned about coverage of events as Indian weddings are full of small events and all events are equally important and should be captured really well. Jim and his team were well prepared with their high tech gears and years of experience and they committed all of them together to give us excellent quality pictures and videos. Even when were running behind schedule, they made sure that every event is captured before they leave.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
