    I worked with Angela for both my wedding and engagement photography and she was wonderful. Our photographer and videographer both cancelled 6 months before our wedding and my fiance and I were really concerned about getting a great photographer that close to our date. Angela came highly recommended by a friend and she was great to work with. She knew we were paying for the whole wedding ourselves and really did her best to give us great prices and still be present during a longer block on the wedding day and she did an amazing job as I (the bride) and others were pulling her in multiple directions on the day of! The engagement pictures came out great and I am sure the wedding shots will too (I am waiting on the proofs and will update this review when I have them!).

    Angela is great at blending into the background and trying to capture those candid shots, which is what I wanted and was going for. She is also very relaxed and calming, which is a very sought-after but rarely found trait in people. I highly recommend her.

    UPDATE: I received my wedding pictures last week. They are phenomenal. Absolutely utterly gorgeous. I've already heard from countless friends and relatives that they are the most gorgeous wedding shots they've ever seen. Not only did the formals come out perfectly, no doubt to Angela and team's tireless efforts to get the absolute perfect lighting for each, but the candid shots are what made the day. I cannot tell you hope many awesome moments she managed to capture by unobtrusively anticipating a laugh, a smile, or a dance move to the inevitable Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen. I could not be happier with every single shot. Do NOT hesitate to book her!

    Everything about working with Angela was perfect! She was warm, friendly, fun and very professional! We couldn't of imagined a better photographer. During the engagement shoot, getting ready, the ceremony and the reception she was incredible - and her photos are breathtaking! We could never thank Angela enough!

    Angela Jimenez was a wonderful photographer for our wedding. All of our guests liked her, and she even made the grandfather of the bride laugh! The pictures came out great, and we couldn't be happier.

    I really wish we could give Angela 10 stars...she was just that good. We found Angela through online research and after our initial conversation with her, we knew we had picked our photographer! Angela was helpful, kind, and responsive throughout the entire process, which was really important since we were planning the wedding from overseas. Angela was a delight to have around during the day of the wedding, joking around with our families and adding to the happiness of the day. We just received the digital files from our wedding and they are nothing short of spectacular! Angela delivered exactly what we wanted--a photojournalistic style, only a few "still life" pictures, lots of candids--and more. Looking at the pictures, we joked that she must be a photographic ninja--she was somehow everywhere and nowhere all at the same time, unobtrusively capturing so many wonderful moments from our special day. We couldn't be happier with our pictures or the service we received from Angela.

    We found Angela online - when we contacted her about a year ago, we couldn't find many reviews, but the ones we did find were all RAVES. We decided to work with her because her style was exactly want we wanted - not overly formal, not overly posed, with a lot of great candids and very few pictures of inanimate objects. That is EXACTLY what we got - the pictures put us right back in the day, and capture everything: lovely, intimate moments with our families and closest friends, the joy and excitement under the chuppah, and the energy of the reception. They will be a really wonderful way for us to preserve these memories. And on top of that, Angela was a fantastic value, especially compared to the exorbitant prices charged by a lot of NYC photographers. She worked with us to put together a contract that fit in our budget, was generous with her time before and on the big day, and delivered the photos a few days earlier than promised. Angela was definitely one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning.

    Angela was amazing. We loved the pictures she captured during our wedding day. Our event was pretty packed, and she navigated the crowd with ease. She took amazing pictures that everyone enjoyed and really captured all the little and big moments. We're happy that we'll have these pictures to look at again and again and enjoy for the rest of our lives.

    I would absolutely recommend her to anyone seeking a wedding or event photographer. Her journalistic skills really shine through.

    Angela was a dream photographer. She listened carefully to our hopes for the photography and then produced the most beautiful collection of wedding photographs--more amazing than we ever dreamed of! Everyone in our family noticed how attentive, discreet, energetic, and generous she was. Before we even finished saying her name at our reception, folks were standing up to give her an ovation.

    We had very specific desires for our wedding that did not follow many of the rules or traditions of other weddings. Angela got what we wanted immediately and took photos that respected our unique ceremony and reception while still lending this madcap adventure some gravity and elegance.

    I cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Here is the follow-up email I sent to Angela (and the second shooter who worked with her) after our wedding day:

    Hi Angela and Steve! We just had our bank send you a check. I don't want this to be all business, though--can I just say how happy we are with our photos?! It was absolutely amazing to look through all of them. They're perfect. We're getting tons of compliments (which seem to be more than the requisite "they're beautiful" comments, we think). It was great to have the two of you around all day. Even our friends and family have commented on how great you were! You really knew just what you were doing and we never had to give a second thought to the photography. Some of the vendors who we worked with were trying to get away with doing the minimum amount of work they were required to do, but you really made an effort and delivered a quality product. We appreciate that. Thanks so much for helping us have a great wedding day!

    That should be all you need to know!

    We are so glad to have had Angela and her assistant photographer Julia, as the photographers for our wedding! In addition to discussing all of the details over email, they took the time to meet with us in person before the wedding to go over our exact schedule and timing of events, as well as to create a list of must-take photos. They were extremely professional, friendly, and artistic. Angela even proved essential in helping us navigate our way through Prospect Park to get to our wedding venue, the Boat House, when we managed to misplace our directions, and did not hesitate to jump out of our van to remove obstacles in our way! What a hero! Throughout the night, Angela and Julia not only captured all the special moments, but were also almost ninja-like in doing so. They were completely unobtrusive and yet were able to capture shots at impressive angles, not to mention in impressive numbers. Angela has a documentary-like style, capturing the action and emotions as they happen, and it showed in the resulting photos. In addition to an online album of all of our photos, we were very happy to also receive a full set of high quality prints in a beautiful photo box which was graced with one of our photos on the cover. It was a very nice touch. Thank you Angela and Julia! You come highly recommended from both of us!

    Angela was absolutely the best: helpful, professional, considerate, and a total pleasure to work with. She is also a fantastic photographer with a keen eye for the detail and the moment. We could not be happier with the results. You may be able to find a slightly more affordable photographer, but you almost certainly will not find a better one. We had many wedding guests tell us after the wedding how wonderful "the photographer" was: non-intrusive, patient and considerate. We give her the highest possible recommendation. Please feel free to contact us on her behalf.

    Angela Jimenez was the perfect photographer for our somewhat off beat wedding at our Zen Buddhist temple. Prior to the wedding, she worked enthusiasically with us to figure out what we wanted and then she tailored a package to meet our needs. The ceremony space was a challenge in terms of logistics and lighting, but Angela and the videographer worked well with it. At the wedding, she was easygoing yet attentive and active in getting shots. We're very happy with the results and would recommend her especially for a non-traditional type wedding.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about Angela. She is an amazing photographer. An artist. I think she used a photo journalist approach for my wedding (I'm not savvy with photo terms so don't quote me on this) which is exactly what I wanted. It tells the story from start to finish. She captured all the formal photographs and specific photos of our wedding details I wanted and I asked for a lot! All the guests loved how personable she is. She's so easy to get along with and so talented and a true professional. She knew exactly how to pose folks and our pictures have an amazing quality. I really just can't say enough. You have to hire her. I can't imagine that anyone else could possibly be better! We used her for our engagement photos and wedding photos and just love them!!!

    Angela was AMAZING at our wedding! Our families adored her and can't stop talking about the incredible photographs as well as the incredible Angela. She's so easy to work with, totally flexible and patient and man did we get those pictures back FAST! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful photos and would highly recommend her to anyone, anytime. Also, she's like a ninja gazelle as I had no idea she was ducking right next to me taking pictures during our ceremony until I saw a picture of her doing so.

    Angela is incredibly creative, utterly professional and detail-oriented, and generally astounding to work with. She is very very sensitive to surroundings and moods, and a truly great listener which enabled her to capture everything we said we wanted, and made her almost psychic during the event - she was everywhere, always at the right moment. Her photos are gorgeous and unique, not the typical cookie-cutter wedding photos. She was incredibly helpful in orchestrating the shots, and developing a strategy before the wedding so that it ran smoothly on site. Also, she is fun. Fun! Playful, respectful, relaxed, and filled us with a sense of ease at every stage, and especially during the shot-taking. I could not recommend her more highly. Did I say the photos are incredible? They're the best we've seen!

    Angela photographed our very intimate wedding in a very public place, capturing both perfectly. A friend later said, "seeing your photos made me feel like I was there!" Angela is a rare breed, both a talented artist with vision and talent, and a consummate professional who accomplished every nuanced task effortlessly. She really "got us" and provided us with mnemonics that capture just the spirit we were going for. Everyone (and I do mean everyone) compliments us effusively on our beautiful wedding photography. I can give Angela my very highest recommendation.

    It is hard to overstate what a good job Angela did photographing our wedding. She met with us beforehand to go over the sequence of events in the ceremony and the reception, and figured out how we wanted everything shot. The quality of the shots we got back was remarkable -- wonderfully arranged formal photographs, fun group shots, and lots of great perfect-moment shots of our friends and family. Importantly, Angela and her crew were a joy to deal with on the day itself, when we had a lot of other things to think about. I've been to a number of weddings where the photographers bark orders, or generally get in the way. Not Angela. While managing to capture every important moment, she did it completely unobtrusively, yet somehow was always right there when we wanted to catch a group shot with some of our friends or relatives. I can't stress enough how important this was. While finding a top-quality photographer is hard enough, finding one who really "gets" how to cover a wedding is really rare. We were delighted.

    My wife and I are THRILLED with our wedding photos! Angela was extremely professional, her pricing was reasonable and she was very flexible on the day of the event dealing with any unforeseen situations. We feel that she really captured our wedding in the photos, so much so that everyone who sees the photos comments on how much it reminds them of the day and what a magical day it was! We highly recommend Angela. She really is the best.

    Angela is an AMAZING documentary style photographer and her work translates beautifully into wedding photography. She was super helpful throughout the day, catching everything we wanted and more, without ever being intrusive or with me having to say, can you get that shot. As a bride, I didn't have to think about a thing regarding pictures the entire day with Angela there to shoot every magical moment. And our pictures are beyond amazing. She captured every event, every stolen moment with grace and beauty. I can't imagine anyone else shooting our wedding and I can not recommend any of my vendors more highly than Angela. You would be lucky to have her "shoot" you!

    Angela is one of the most organized individuals I've had the pleasure of working with. Before I commited to her, we met and had a conversation about what I was looking for in a photographer. Her approach is very personal. She wants to get things just right. She's also very detail-oriented, which is great for a bride. She leaves no stone unturned. A month or so before the wedding she sent me a worksheet that required shotlist. That is great because the bride and the photographer can be on the same page about expectations. She's also very flexible and open to new ideas. I had an idea that she took and made it better than what I pitched. She takes your wedding day very seriously and the pictures reflect that. She's great at candid shots that show the emotion you may miss because you're in your own world and all the formal shots perfect. She's unbelievable thorough and personable. Her sense of humor fits in with any crowd and she deals with large groups of people, who are all excited and even drunk, smoothly. She worked with an assistant, who was just as friendly and efficient as she was. If there were more stars to highlight, I would highlight them all!

    My husband and I were almost speechless as we spent over two hours during our initial viewing of Angela's incredible work. We were speechless, that is, except for the almost incessant proclamations of how talented she is!!!! Her photography captured our wedding so creatively and dynamically, that each picture contains within it not only artwork, with such interesting compositions and color juxtapositions, but also a narrative about each individual that says so much about their personality....We are more than ecstatic with the result, and will happy to review the 1200+ photos again and again for years to come.

    Besides the photographs themselves, Angela was an amazing presence to have at the wedding. She did her work with an extraordinary level of professionalism, of course, but her contagious energy, warmth, and enthusiasm made her beloved of all who attended the wedding. She worked tirelessly to capture every aspect we could have hoped for, and all with great spirit. As others have noted above, she is also very organized, and "executed" the taking of formals like clockwork!

    Angela's talents are clearly beyond those required for a wedding--(her work has been in the NY times amongst other high-status publications) I almost felt guilty using her for such a mundane event! So through her overqualification, you will have a product that will exceed your expectations.

    We chose Angela as our wedding photograher because she is talented, reseaonably priced given her high quality of service, and most importantly, because we truly thought she would be a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. You spend more time with your photographer than a lot of other people that day, and we wanted someone who would be centering, fun, easy to be around, in-the-woodwork but also directive when she needed to be, etc. Angela and her assistant were all those things and more. She was also very patient with us in creating our album and offered a lot of creative direction and was open to our many suggestions as well. All in all, it was a true pleasure working with her from start to finish and we would recommend her highly to anyone planning a wedding.
