    Studio 27 Photographers & Video Were Amazing!

    Cant speak glowingly enough about our main photographer Chris, he was patient with our crazy, large families requests at the venue. Unfortunately for my wife and I it was raining the day of our wedding so we couldnt capture everything we wanted. Chris assured us he would do everything he could to get as many great photos as we could, and we did. He was fantastic as were the entirety of the team. You have my wife and I's blessings and recommendation to our family and friends. Thank you all!

    Bringing Magic to Life!

    Where do I begin? From the day Piero and I were engaged we knew we wanted Studio 27 to handle our wedding weekend photography and videography. We have seen the quality of your work and we are familiar with your team’s personalities. We knew you would have the perfect team to cover our events, and you absolutely nailed it!

    Paulo . . . You are a pleasure to be around. You were with us from Friday morning until Sunday night and the only regret we had is that we did not have more time with you. You were not just our photographer; you very quickly became part of the family. You made us, and everyone, feel so comfortable and so special. Thank you!

    Cezar . . . We loved working with you. You knew all the perfect shots to take. Even unique ones that existed in our minds, you were taking them before we pointed them out. Thank you for being there to photograph all the best moments.

    Ray . . . You were great providing direction, and you created the most amazing scenes. Thank you for being patient with me throughout the big day. Whenever I asked to redo a shot, it was no problem for you. You are a true creative professional, and we are so glad you were there to capture our big day. The sneak peek showcased the artistic and beautiful final video we will soon receive.

    Benny . . . Like Paulo, you were with us for everything. In all that time we never saw you not smiling. Thank you for your positive, reassuring presence. And, you always seemed to be in the right place at the right time. So many times we noticed you filming something that others would have missed or not bothered to take. Our video will be amazing thanks to you.

    Amy . . . Wow! You were omnipresent, so much more than we imagined your role would be. And we are so thankful. You were always smiling, keeping Ashley’s train and veil aligned, and so much more. You brought such light and happiness to our special day.

    Steve . . . your team worked together seamlessly, like a well-oiled machine. What a difference it made to have photo and video working in unison to get the best shots and capture the greatest memories rather than have the two units battle each other for time and ideas. We hope your team had as much fun with us as we did with them. We realize traveling to Florida, hauling the gear, shooting 5 events in 3 days was asking a lot. But it honestly looked like just another walk in the park for Studio 27. So comfortable, so engaging, so patient, all of you.

    Some things are just pure magic and cannot accurately be described, or even believed, unless they are seen. Thanks to the Studio 27 Dream Team the weekend of 4/21 – 4/23/23 will be seen and believed by everyone who witnesses your incredible work. You brought magic to life.

    Chris & studio 27 are amazing!

    I could not possibly be any more pleased with Studio 27! We used them for our recent wedding on 3/25/23 and from start to finish everything was amazing. The staff is so incredibly kind and the process for booking was so seamless. Not to mention the studio itself is beautiful and the owners were a joy to speak with. Our main wedding photographer Chris was INCREDIBLE. His talent is unmatched and his kindness and sincerity throughout the whole day made everything feel extra special. My fiancé and I recently experienced some unexpected loss before our wedding, but Melissa + the photographers/videographers were super genuine and made sure our day was extra light and fun. To Chris, Kunal, Benny, Dennis, Melissa, Steve, Joseph and everyone else we crossed paths with – thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We couldn’t have done this without you! All our love, the Fureys.

    No complaints here!

    We were not worried about our crowd dancing and were so confident in Studio27(we’ve been to multiple S27 weddings) as expected- THE PARTY WAS AMAZING. Dan Nelson was our MC and Sal our DJ. They were a dynamic duo and if they didn’t physically make us sit down to eat, no one would have left the dance floor. They perfected both of our tastes in music(WHICH IS INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT). Sal incorporated oldies, EDM, hip-hop and emo seamlessly and our guests were thrilled, sweaty and had such an amazing time.

    Book them now!

    Main Photographer: Boy Wonder, Second: Johnny Kid, Shower Photographer: Paulo

    My husband and I would highly recommend Studio27 photography. Upon reaching out to book our wedding package, Joseph sent us multiple galleries showcasing their photographers and our venue/church. We were blown away by Boy Wonder’s work. He made us feel so comfortable during our engagement photo session and turned a very grey, dreary January day into gorgeous, warm, romantic photos. On our wedding day, Boy Wonder, his assistant John, and second photographer Johnny Kid, made us feel so comfortable. We took hours of photos and never felt drained. During our cocktail hour, they surprised us by going to CVS and printing two GORGEOUS photos of our portrait session to place on our sweetheart table. It was a wonderful surprise! When it started to snow unexpectedly during our reception, Boy Wonder grabbed us for impromptu snowy portraits. We cannot wait to see the rest of our album and will absolutely be using Studio27 for future events!

    They were amazing!

    We got married on Saturday, November 19, 2022. It was an absolute pleasure working with studio 27. The dance floor was packed the entire night and they played every song that we requested and completely read the room! We added the percussionist and sparklers onto our packages and highly recommend using them. This was an absolute hit! Such a pleasure to work with the studio 27 crew!

    The best of the best

    I just got married Friday so I have not received all of my photos or video, but so far i am WOWED by just the sneak peak photos alone. I used Paulo for photos and he was an absolute blast to spend the day with. Really made our photos look so natural and personal. He had sneak peaks rolling on an ipad in the cocktail hour just a few hours after church. I received about 30 AMAZING sneak peaks the next day. There was a storm the day of the wedding and another staff member got into a car accident and they had to pull our video assistant to give another bride videography. Before I even knew about the situation, the manager reached out to me and said they are going to make it right and ended up giving me a free album for the inconvenience. They also offer a rainy day policy if the weather ruins the opportunity for photos the day of your wedding. Their customer service has been unbelievable to work with since day one and I can't wait to work with them again in the future.

    Energetic & Full of Life

    Studio 27 was simply the best, priced well and knew how to keep the crowd on the dance floor. Those we thought who wouldn’t dance were on the dance floor all night. We had a few VERY last minute changes and they accommodated without a hitch. Planning a wedding takes it toll…. Studio 27 made their part smooth and easiest through it all.

    Stunning & professional - best in the biz

    My husband and I were married on 11.5.22 and were referred to Studio27 by friends of ours who got married the same year and we are so thankful for the assist!! From the get-go, we knew we were in good hands. We met with Joseph and looked at the examples of the artists work and fell in love with Paytn's vibes, so we requested her for our wedding. We opted to do our engagement photos with her and she met us in Astoria Park on a chill December day - it was so much fun working with her!! She is chill and down to earth - very good about making you feel comfortable and capturing real photos that don't look too staged. She was able to encapsulate the vibes of our relationship and family (we had our three year old with us) so well. They are some of my favorite pictures ever taken.

    Fast forward to the wedding day and the entire team was beyond phenomenal. They showed up early and made sure they got every shot we asked for and then some. There was a team with them, we felt like celebrities. We opted for the photo and video because we loved the way they make the videos (not your parent's wedding video). We haven't gotten ours back yet but are SO EXCITED to see it. We got the pictures back two weeks after the wedding and honestly, looking at them, I feel brought right back into every special moment. The photographers did an amazing job at capturing the small details that mean so much and really did a fantastic job of making sure they got a picture of everyone there.

    The Studio27 team is an absolute joy to work with. We sat with Christina for probably an hour during our last appointment just because she is such a joy to work with and talk to. The whole staff really takes the time to get to know you so they can make sure to produce work that you will appreciate and value for the years to come. They are responsive, receptive and professional but know how to have fun. We would recommend them to anyone and everyone for any event!! You will not be disappointed.

    As far as the price point - this was one area I refused to skimp out on but even still, I feel they were reasonable for the quality of the product produced and the number of artists they have day-of. I was ripping envelopes open after the reception to tip them more than planned just because they did such a great job the whole day. Worth every cent.

    Wonderful DJ/MC

    We chose Studio 27 DJ for our wedding this past weekend and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Dan was wonderful and helpful from the very beginning. The team listened to our requests and knew all the right questions to ask to make sure they accommodated the music taste of all of our guests. Steve and Sal were incredible the day of our wedding, our guests couldn’t stop dancing and wanted the DJ’s information for future events. My husband and I appreciate this vendor from the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

    Incredible experience!

    We hired Studio27 as our DJ for our wedding and they did an amazing job!
    I worked with Dan from the beginning of our wedding planning process. I loved Dan's vibe and personality from our first phone meeting. We discussed my vision for the wedding and picked out a package that best fit what we were looking for. Studio27 even has an essential worker discount which is awesome!
    The paperwork that Dan provided made the process smooth and ensured that they would play all of the music that we wanted - from classics, to popular hits, and our personal favorite music. We met with Dan before the wedding to walk through what the wedding day would look like. Dancing on clouds, dry ice, etc. is very popular to have during a first dance and Studio 27 is also able to have it during cake cutting which was a nice touch! Their sparklers and intelligent lighting are also amazing!
    Dwayne was our DJ and he did an amazing job; my guests are still talking about what a wonderful time they had and that our wedding was the best wedding they have been to - and DJ played a huge role in that!
    Dan was our MC and he was fantastic. Energetic and kind - made us feel like superstars as we were announced into the ballroom! And talk about a jack of all trades - our venue was a bit short staffed that Dan even helped out serving ice cream to our guests during our venetian hour.
    I had also opted to do my own slideshow since our venue had their own TV screens. I submitted it to Dan literally within 1 day of the wedding and he was able to pull it off for me.
    Amazing team, be sure to book them for your next event!
