Adena is an absolute dream to work with and a true talent -- do yourself a favor and hire her for your wedding!! My husband and I are blown away by her ability to capture the candid moments and real emotions of our wedding day without being intrusive at all (a big concern for us). Her organizational skills are unmatched and she helped plan our wedding day timeline and keep us on schedule the entire time. She's the calm, cool and collected person you want with you on your wedding day. We were not especially comfortable in front of the camera at first, but Adena knew exactly how to help us relax and act like ourselves. The engagement shoot was a huge help! Now we have these incredible, amazing photos that really look and feel like us as individuals and a couple -- we will cherish them forever. Thank you, Adena!!

Adena at Studio A Images was the absolute best. Period. End of sentence. She is a professional in every sense of the word and our wedding went so smoothly in no small part due to the experience she brought to the table. Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly responsive over email and did a really great job of not only helping us to structure the timeline for our day to minimize stress and scrambling, but also rolling with the punches if we had any questions or last minute changes in our plans. The day of the wedding, Adena and her second photographer Laura did a fantastic job of keeping everything running smoothly and on schedule. From the getting ready pictures to the couple and wedding party pictures to the family portraits, Adena did a great job of corralling so many people to efficiently get the shot. I just felt like I was in really good hands the entire time, especially given that the weather forecast introduced some unpredictability to the day. Despite that, Adena always had a plan and had an amazing eye for getting some incredible shots - sometimes planned and sometimes impromptu. Her candid shots were also everything; they really captured the energy of the party and so many of them bring a smile to my face that I know I’m going to have a bear of a time picking which ones to put in a photo album - it might just be all of them.
To make a very long story short, Adena’s communication, professionalism, and flexibility made it easy for me to trust her with photographing our wedding and that took so much potential stress out of the equation. I really hope to work with Adena again in the future because I really think she is the full package.

We were thrilled with Adena's work as our wedding photographer! She was super professional and helpful in the lead-up to the big day, allowing us to feel at ease. She helped us determine a timeline that would make sense and even checked out our venue ahead of time to make sure we could be as efficient as possible. At the wedding, she got every shot we wanted and captured tons of blink-and-you'd-miss-them moments at just the right time. She helped us capture all of our photos efficiently while still allowing us to feel like the moments were special. While handling family and group photos, she knew exactly how to corral people and arrange them so that we could get what we needed without cutting into party time. We received numerous compliments about her, including from guests who are themselves photographers!
After the event, she sent a few early favorite photos the next day so that we would have some immediate moments to relive and share. And she was prompt with the delivery of the rest of the photos.
And, possibly most importantly of all, every photo is incredible!!

Adena was a breath of fresh air in the wedding industry! After meeting with too many photographers that wanted to tell us what our day should be like and what we should care about, Adena’s approach of it being our day and vision, and that there are no requirements of what that should “have” to be, made me and my now husband feel so comfortable.
We wanted our photos to feel lively and like us and not like overly retouched strangers and Adena and her second photographer really delivered. They managed to be completely in the mix all night capturing every laugh and tear and yet I did not notice them at all. They seamlessly blended into the day in a way that we could just enjoy ourselves without feeling like we were constantly being stopped to pose or go do something.
For our more traditional staged and group photos before the wedding, we had 14 members of our bridal party, both sets of parents, additional siblings, 8 nieces and nephews under the age of 12, and our dog…it was not a small task to wrangle this crew and get all of the pictures – they were so efficient that we finished with extra time to spare to relax before the ceremony!
I loved Adena’s honest and straightforward approach to her work, she made us feel like we could just be ourselves and that she was on our team to make sure we had the day we envisioned.
The photos we received from our engagement session and wedding are BEYOND FABULOUS. I am struggling to pick what photos to print and what to put in an album because there are too many that I love. Not a bad problem to have.
Thank you thank you thank you!!

Adena is the very best for about a million reasons, book her and you’ll be glad you did. First, of course she’s insanely talented her work speaks for itself. She has such an amazing eye for really unique shots, finding the perfect lighting and angles and won’t hesitate to get her hands dirty to get it just right. No but literally, she got completely belly down on the ground at both our engagement and wedding shoots and the results were nothing short of stunning. It was amazing and to me sums up how passionate Adena is about her art and her clients. It’s what truly sets her apart because it’s just who she is as a human - kind, patient, hilariously witty, quick on her feet to problem solve and overall just a peaceful, positive energy during what can be a stressful day. I would pay double just for how calm and focused she kept me which is no small feat with me. She’s prepared to deal with any potential photo snafu from buttons to boutonnières, you can trust her with it all. Plus she can people wrangle like no other which an absolute gift when you have a large wedding party including small children and challenging family members.

I’d love to take credit for finding Adena but we met at my sister’s 2020 micro wedding and then the following year at the formal ceremony and reception. We hit it off so well (has she ever met a stranger? I don’t think so.) and I was impressed with how on the ball she was during what was certainly an abnormal couple of wedding seasons to say the least. So at this point she’s basically a part of the family having captured these big moments and I look forward to having her capture a whole bunch more.

We had a great experience with Studio A Images and I highly highly recommend Adena. I loved our engagement photos, and it was fun getting to know Adena before the wedding. It was great having her and Laura by our side on the wedding day and everything ran so smoothly. They made us feel comfortable and beautiful. We got the pictures back two weeks before I expected them, and they are STUNNING. It was raining so we couldn’t go outside, but Adena and Laura arrived early and picked out a lot of pretty spots around the hotel for pictures that I would have never thought of. Adena also gave me recommendations for other vendors, and sent us to iReserve, which was the other best decision we made. 10/10!!!

Our wedding was in October 2022 and we booked Studio A Images in early 2021. As two grooms with some significant body image issues and very opinionated families, to say that we both were nervous about photographers would be an understatement. Adena assuaged all of that. From the first planning conversation (and all subsequent ones) to our engagement shoot to our wedding itself, Adena worked to make sure that we were comfortable, at ease, and confident as we went through our day. After we booked with her, she even sent us a little welcome package with some friendly wedding reminders and some surprise gifts. On the day of our wedding, some unforeseen circumstances meant that we arrived at the venue about forty-five minutes after we were scheduled to do so. Adena was ready to go with our list of photos and ran a tight ship that we still got everything done five minutes ahead of schedule. She helped make sure everything was clearly and efficiently communicated to wedding party and family so everyone knew where they had to be and when to make all photos as smooth as possible. During the reception, she captured so many small (but significant) moments that made us so excited to see as we flipped through each picture. At all stages, she was extremely prompt and timely with getting each deliverable back to us, most of which, before they were contractually due. The photos themselves were beautifully shot, edited, and framed. Adena captured the authenticity of our day and our love and presented it fantastically. Now that we have our album, we cannot stop looking at it. We could not be more thankful.

I can't say enough good things about Adena and Studio A Images. From the first phone call with Adena, we knew that she was the right choice for our wedding photographer. Rather than rattling off a pre-written list of things that *would* be photographed for us, Adena was interested in getting to know us -- our unique personality as a couple and as individuals -- and what we were most interested in having captured on our wedding day. The result of that personal touch and thought shines through in our wedding photos, which are objectively beautiful pictures but also so uniquely "us". 

We also can't overstate how helpful Adena was in making our wedding day run smoothly. As someone who had photographed at our venue (Liberty House) before, she was full of suggestions and helpful tips - from the hotel we should choose for great first look photos, to a flawless timeline, and so much more. She and her #2 (Laura) showed up on time - early actually! - on the day of and kept things running more-than-smoothly. One of our favorite parts of the day was our doing couples photos together, which felt so easy and fun to do together -- we owe that to the vibes Adena and Laura brought. 

Adena managed our massive bridal party, family, and friends (210 guests) with ease and was so organized that we ran ahead of schedule and had time to fully relax and take in the moment before walking down the aisle. We are so grateful we chose Studio A Images as our wedding photographer and so highly recommend to anyone! We love our photos and loved working with her.

Adena was our photographer for our wedding and she was simply amazing. She is passionate about her craft and brought in great enthusiasm and joy to the process from beginning to end. Adena always leaned in to what we wanted. She helped us navigate logistics and provided sound advice on different ideas we had. On the day of our wedding, Adena helped us to keep calm and to simply enjoy the beautiful moments she was capturing. The photos themselves were simply stunning, and we are so grateful to have chosen her as our photographer. We HIGHLY recommend Adena for your wedding photos or for any event that you would like professional photos. You will not be disappointed!

I don't know what I can say about Adena, other than that she's absolutely fantastic. We have used her services twice already. Once for mine and my husband's original wedding (a smaller family only ceremony during the height of the omicron wave), and the larger wedding reception this past weekend. The two events could not have been more different and she handled them both equally beautifully. She got us back our entire edited gallery of pictures for the first wedding in LESS THAN A WEEK!!!! She's so wonderful at managing time and keeping people in check as well as managing family dynamics during the whole process. She really listened to what my husband and I wanted and captured it beautifully. she even managed to capture beautiful photos of our wiggly toddler and energetic dog!  She is thorough, her rates are reasonable and fair given the high caliber of work she produces and she's also just a downright lovely person.
