About

My name is Reena Rose Sibayan and I love to tell stories through photographs, which is what I have been doing for the past 20 years, both as newspaper photojournalist, and as a wedding and event photographer.

I currently work as a full-time staff photographer for The Jersey Journal, a daily newspaper in New Jersey covering Hudson County. On the weekends, I translate my photojournalism skills into documenting weddings and other events, capturing fleeting, authentic moments that my clients can fondly look back on for years to come.

My husband, Max, and I often work together as a team to make sure a wedding day is well-documented. We live in Bayonne, N.J., with our (overly-photographed) 9-year-old son, Renzo, and cat Nom Nom.

I am available to photograph weddings and other events in New York, New Jersey and beyond. Please contact me for more information. Let me help you tell your story in pictures.

Reena Rose is absolutely incredible!! She was wonderful to work with throughout our wedding planning process and she kept me calm leading up the big day AND on the big day itself.....not to mention, I have already gotten a million comments regarding how beautiful the sneak peek photos are. Throughout the wedding, I barley even knew she was there, as she let me enjoy the day, while also making sure to capture each moment!! I would highly recommend her to any bride-to-be!!! THANKS REENA!!!

Reena is a former colleague of mine and I was so thrilled she was available to shoot my wedding on Saturday night! She and her husband Max (who assists her) were FANTASTIC and made everyone feel so comfortable. She even got my husband's grandfather to smile :) Reena handled all of the logistics flawlessly and with patience, humor and professionalism. She was also on top of all the details including remembering to grab my college friends for a photo, shooting special heirloom items, our rings, etc. Reena was, as expected, just a joy to work with!

Reena Rose Photography is absolutely amazing. I was a bridesmaid in a wedding when I met Reena and Max and absolutely fell in love with there style. You can tell that Reena and Max truly love their craft. From the moment that I contacted them they were responsive and helpful. Reena goes above and beyond to get the best photographs possible. She also makes sure that every detail is perfect from the lighting to the positioning. On the day of my wedding Reena and Max both arrived early Reena went to my parents house while Max was that my husband's house. They each made sure to capture every moment of getting ready and got all of the pictures they possibly could at the church. Upon arriving to my reception we found that there were not many places alloted for us to take pictures. Reena however made sure that she found all of the hidden gem at the place of our reception to get ALL of the best pictures. Reena made sure that we had all of the photographs we needed and beyond. It was an honor to have both Reena and Max at our wedding and they were the best decision we ever made. From the sneak peek of our wedding photographs as a couple we agreed that the pictures are breath takingly beautiful. We can not say enough good things about Reena and Max even my father who never comments in anything said that he could not believe how attentive and on top of everything Reena is. Anyone who does not use their services is definitely missing out! Demi & Patrick

She was so prompt and responsiveness; especially due to my brief window to organize the proposal! Reena was extremely professional and captured the day perfectly from the "in the bushes" photographing the actual proposal, to the staged and candid portraits taken after. She had tons of good ideas and made the shoot very fun, relaxed, and candid.

Reena was the first phone call I made when planning my wedding. She had done my brother's wedding five years ago, and I remembered how great she was on that day. If possible, she was even better than she was for them. She worked so well with us, and made us feel really at ease when taking our photos. She and her husband were like ninjas during our ceremony, you never felt like you were getting your photo taken. We were so happy with the quality of our engagement photos and weddings photos, we would recommend them to everyone we know!

Reena and her husband Max were wonderful to work with! Reena has an amazing attitude and spirit, which is what my husband and I were originally drawn to when we booked her for our engagement session and wedding photography. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and the shots came out beautifully. Reena is very dedicated and I had no stress with respect to my wedding photography, I knew I could trust her to be the expert!

My fiance and I chose Reena as our engagement photographer based on reviews, her prompt response and flexibility. We are so happy we went ahead and booked our session with her. We would highly recommend Reena as a photographer for any event. She is kind, warm and so fun to work with. I admit, I was a bit nervous because this was my first photo session and I am a bit camera shy. But she was such a joy to work with that I quickly relaxed and enjoyed being photographed during the session. She is so talented and we cannot be happier with our choice.
Thank you Reena for all the beautiful pictures. You have an amazing ability to capture every beautiful moment in all the pictures you take.

Reena and Max did a wonderful job photographing our wedding! We had an engagement session with Reena before the wedding, which turned out great. And the photos from the wedding are fantastic. We also received the photos very quickly after the wedding. Reena worked with us in advance to make sure everything on the day went smoothly, which it did! I would definitely recommend Reena and Max to family or friends.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
