The absolute BEST in the business!!! PERIOD.

It feels uncanny to be able to only award five stars for a company that deserves at least five hundred!!! The Studio Photographers (specifically Dave) have such an impressive talent, skillset and personality to not only produce the most beautiful photographs, but to allow you to RELAX and HAVE A BLAST while doing so! That alone sets them apart from the rest! Dave also has this incredible talent of remembering everyone’s name in your party which makes the experience that much more special. You’ll feel like you’ve known Dave forever. He’s the perfect energy to be around to help your wedding day go smoothly and put your mind at ease. My husband hates taking pictures and Dave made the process painless, funny and FAST!! This means you actually have the time to ENJOY your wedding day! A simple concept that others totally omit! Additionally, The Studio Photographers capture those TIMELESS MOMENTS of your wedding day. The kind of moments you’ll want to look back on as husband and wife, forever in awe of your most special day. None of those weird and awkwardly staged photographs here that you never know what to do with! He also creates all of his magic BEHIND THE SCENES! So EVERYONE at your ceremony and wedding can be present in the moment! He’s not hanging out in the middle of the aisle distracting everyone by taking the pictures so obviously. This is definitely one of many things all photographers can learn from Dave and his expertise. His passion for his art truly radiates through his work. Our experience from day one was so personable and unmatched. Believe me, you’ll want Dave and his team hanging out with you all the time! My husband and I could not be happier with our photographs and experience. The Studio Photographers are truly UNPARALLELED in the business!! You’d be an absolute fool to not hire them for your special day!

Best Photographer!

Working with David and his team (we worked with PJ) was the easiest experience ever! They are extremely experienced, know exactly what to do, and are sure to capture every photo you want. They’re sense of humor helped keep all of us laughing and calm through what can be a stressful day. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend using them for any occasion! Thanks David!

Couldn't Have Asked For A Better Team!

From our engagement to our wedding, The Studio team was truly phenomenal. At our engagement shoot, David was welcoming and understanding of our goals and made us feel extremely comfortable. The forecast called for rain, but he worked his magic, convinced us to keep the appointment and he captured wonderful moments that turned into great pictures. On our wedding day, David and his team were everywhere, capturing moment after moment. David was somehow able to memorize all 18 bridal party member's names and navigate all of our family members to take every combination of pictures. Working with David was very easy and smooth; from his communication to the speed and quality of his work. His attention, communication, friendliness, energy, and effort made our wedding that much more special and we really can't imagine going through this process without David and his team.

We hired The Studio Photographers for my daughter's wedding at Hamilton Farm Golf Club on 9/8/18 and we honestly couldn't have made a better choice. David Solomon, the owner and lead photographer, was very familiar with the venue, which is so important when choosing a photographer. David was professional, efficient, receptive to our requests, open to suggestions and just a pleasure to work with. It was very clear how much David loves what he does!! At the end of the night he gave us a small album with a sneak peak at some of the photos and which are spectacular! We can't wait to see more! I highly recommend The Wedding Photographers! You will not be disappointed!

You will not be disappointed in the beautiful photographs David creates and shoots. My husband and I are both very camera shy and he makes you feel so comfortable like you've known him forever. We loved him so much for our engagement shoot that we couldn't let him get away and instantly asked him to shoot our wedding. He knew every family member and bridal party member by name and made such an exhausting situation fun. He was in constant contact and has been very quick with replying to emails and giving us our pictures. They came out so beautifully, it's hard to stop staring at them. You won't regret the Studio and David for a minute!

I cannot thank Dave and The Studio Photographers more for the amazing job they did at our wedding. From the first moment we met with him we knew he was who we wanted to work with. Not only were his photographs amazing, but he had the best personality. We had our engagement shoot first and the pictures he took with unbelievable. He made us feel comfortable right off the bat. He has this way of joking around to get wonderful shots and make you feel a little less awkward during the process. I couldn't wait for the wedding to work with him again. Him and his team were beyond wonderful. We got married on a hot day and wanted to take a lot of pictures before the ceremony with family and friends. They made something that could've been long and not so fun quick and easy. They had a copy of what we discussed and knew exactly who we wanted pictures with. During the wedding they came whenever we needed them. They had to have taken thousands of pictures and I cannot wait to see them. If they are anything at all like our engagement shoot I know they are going to be out of this world. I would highly recommend The Studio Photographers to capture the beautiful moments of your wedding.

Dave and his team were amazing! We first used Dave to shoot our engagement pictures and create our save the date (which we loved). Dave and his team did the photography and videography at our wedding on 8/28/15 at The Venetian. We haven't received our photos yet as our wedding was only two weeks ago, but I know they are going to be nothing short of perfect! He is so professional, but makes the photo taking process fun and carefree. He makes you feel comfortable and gets the job done so quickly and efficiently. Our entire bridal party even said he was the best photographer ever because he was so quick and "not annoying". Everyone loved him and his team. He put up a few preview pictures during our wedding on the big screen and they came out so beautiful, I can't wait to see more! He is very responsive and showed up on time ready to go. I highly recommend him!!

There isn’t a review that could possibly explain how great this company is, but I’ll do my best. From the moment we began planning our wedding, the first step (after picking a date) was to book The Studio for our pictures. We’ve been to 4-5 weddings before ours where The Studio were the photographers covering the event, and we’ve heard nothing but outstanding reviews. When you hire a photographer, you’re picking them for 2 things: beautiful photos, yes. But you’re also hiring them for the experience on your day. Your photographer can either make or break your bridal party and the experience they have on your big day. My husband was a groomsman in his friend’s wedding day, and their photographer (not The Studio, obviously) basically made it a miserable experience. The Studio’s team of photographers, specifically David and PJ, are experts on how to make the experience both fun and quick. I’ve heard (and seen) times when the bride & groom didn’t get to enjoy their cocktail hour, main course or venetian hour because they had to go take pictures. The Studio plans out your event perfectly, making sure you get every picture you want in every location you want, but you don’t miss a minute of your event. It’s fast, but they’re also extremely patient at the same time. TRUST ME - you’re paying a lot of money on your wedding day, you need to make sure you enjoy this special event that you’re putting months (or years) into planning. They keep you smiling with their funny & unique style of taking pictures and working with everyone. They remember everybody’s names from the bridal party, to aunts and uncles. The entire experience is personal, professional & excellent. And most importantly, they capture every important moment without your knowing. And after the big day, they continue to impress you with amazing shots and incredible merchandise options. Thank you David & everyone at The Studio for an amazing experience!

The talented team at The Studio really is second to none. I've known Frank since I was a young girl, and he has photographed everything from my high school graduation photos to my recent wedding. Frank and David have such an ease about them, it's not hard to feel comfortable in front of the camera. At our wedding, David was able to keep things flowing and keep guests laughing, which was appreciated. I've only seen a sneak peek of my photos so far, but I can't wait to see the rest of the shots- I know they'll be beautiful!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

The entire crew at The Studio Photographers is amazing! Although our photography studio is based in Utah, I've had the pleasure of shooting with the Studio Photographers on a recent wedding and they work professionally and fast and capture the emotion of the day with ease and grace. Highly recommended - and this is coming from another photographer!

I have had the priviledge of knowing Tammy and Dave from The Studio for many years, the last few years working closely with them at many bonnet island weddings. Words cannot describe how talented they are, on top of their professionalism and great personalities! Every time they post a blog or I look through their work, it absolutely takes my breath away! Especially the photos of Paul and Rachael of American Chopper tv show, whom we had the pleasure of working on their wedding this past year. The Studio's photography is unique, one of a kind and the most gorgeous photo journalistic approach to photography I have ever seen, and I think I have seen many! They truly remain on top of their game every shoot. A couple would be very lucky indeed to have them photograph their wedding day....
