Amazing photographer, highly recommended

We hired Paul to capture our August wedding, and we are so happy we went with him. He was recommended to us by our wedding planner. My fiance and I often joke that we aren't very photogenic, but Paul put us at ease and ended up getting some great photos of our special day. He was easy to get in touch with, and even easier to talk to. My dad told me at least three times "I really liked that photographer!" Paul made us laugh, made us feel comfortable, and captured so many amazing moments from our special day. He has a great eye, and we are thrilled with all of our photos. I would highly recommend his services!

Very talented and detail oriented!

My husband and I hired Paul to photograph our June wedding in Cazenovia, NY and we couldn't have been happier! Paul was incredibly detail oriented from the very beginning, starting with a thorough outline of the day, taking note of our bridal party members as well as close family members. He took the time to get to know us so he knew what was important to us.

Paul worked tirelessly on our wedding day to capture every important detail, and was quickly flexible with backup options for shots when it started to rain. Paul had an eye for any detail that might throw his shot off -- a random glass, a random scarf -- and got them out of the shot quickly! It is clear Paul comes with a lot of experience and it allowed my husband and I to enjoy the day, knowing Paul was capturing it all. Paul took on our requests to photograph multiple 30+ person groups and made it happen efficiently and made sure everyone was visible and smiling :) He captured so many great candid moments of the entire day and captured the pure happiness on our faces. It's a wonderful way to relive the day to look back through all the photos. He also created a beautiful album for us that we will cherish forever!

We were so impressed by his professionalism and the quality (and quantity!) of photos he took. He was creative and managed to get us beautiful photos even in the middle of January. We will be forever grateful!

I used Paul for my wedding and for family pictures. I cant say enough about how much my husband and family enjoyed him and the beautiful pictures he captured on our magical day. He is a class act and will use him "only" for many years to come.

Paulie came highly recommended and I can see why. He has an amazing eye for natural detail. He captures tender moments and very beautiful yet candid shots. His fun and playful personality puts everyone at ease. He lets you be as creative as you want, but has some pretty creative ideas of his own. During our wedding, I saw him down in the grass, up on a balcony, on the stage with the band and practically in a tree to get the perfect shot. After our wedding, he was very organized and kept in regular communication. If there is ONE thing that you cannot sacrifice, it is the quality of your photographer. Paulie is hands down, one of our absolute favorite photographers of all time. A true artist to say the least. Could not be luckier to have him.

My husband and I renewed our wedding vows after 40 years of marriage and we can't say enough wonderful things about Paul's photography - his photos of us and our family were just stunning! Paul has an innate ability to make everyone feel at ease and comfortable, his attention to every detail was remarkable, we were so pleased with our photos that we had him design a book that he had made in Italy and we were even more thrilled! - Now we have our photos in a memory book that we will treasure for the rest of our lives! Thank you Paul!
