Great work and amazing to work with!

Gene and his team were great! Very friendly and easy to work with, made it very comfortable being in front of the camera. He had ideas of what would look cool and also made sure to get the photos that I wanted as well. Everything turned out amazing quality wise. I couldn’t be happier!

Worth every penny!

We paid for the Photography and DJ/MC Entertainment package for our wedding which was incredibly worthwhile! Gene, his assistant, and the DJ were very professional and fun to be around. The pictures were stunning and they had creative ideas for games and getting people on the dance floor. I would highly recommend their services!

The Best Day

Gene, Sam & Joseph made our wedding absolutely wonderful. They were with us from the start of the day capturing our intimate moments and making us feel like family. They killed it in the reception game. There wasn’t a moment when our guests weren’t entertained. Our pictures are BEAUTIFUL. They really capture our love and how great our day was. We truly can’t thank you guys enough!!!

Awesome Company

Studio I Do was very professional and very fun people to work with. They really worked fast and helped us to enjoy the day. Our wedding turned out perfectly. Our engagement session also was a complete blast. They helped with our stress and put us at ease, especially since neither one of us like having our photos taken. We got so many compliments about their DJ as well, really engaging and everyone had fun.
