    Perfect experience!

    From the moment we met with Bruce, we felt so comfortable and we knew that we would be in the best hands. The entire team did such an incredible job capturing so many beautiful and special shots. Bruce is the best and he is amazing to work with! He helped make our wedding day so special and we loved our photos. Bruce puts so much thought, care and passion into the job. Would give 6 stars if possible!

    Bruce Plotkin Photography's reply:

    Thanks for this wonderful review and thanks to both of you for including me in your amazing wedding celebration and for putting up with the cold and the challenges of shooting on the streets of NYC. Boy was it worth it!! Love to all. b

    A wedding to remember thanks to Bruce!

    Our wedding took place in September and the most amazing way to remember it is by looking back on the photos Bruce captured. He was such a delight to work with, on time, professional, but also so fun! He has such a great presence, is energetic, and so kind. The photos that he took of our special day were beyond perfect and I'm so grateful that we have them to look back on. Thank you for everything, Bruce! If you're wondering if you should book him or not - do it! You won't regret it.

    Excellent Experience - Highly Recommended

    We hired Bruce as our photographer for our July 2019 wedding and couldn't be happier that we did.

    Needless to say, our pictures came out great - an awesome variety of shots (portraits, candids of us, candids of friends / family) that made us all look great even though I (the groom) am not particularly photogenic.

    More than that though, we greatly appreciated that Bruce was (1) basically invisible the day of the wedding - capturing every moment but remaining remarkably unobtrusive / not noticeable during the actual events, (2) highly communicative and collaborative without overdoing it - he listened closely to our wants / preferences and followed through, and (3) an all around warm, great guy to work with.

    Bruce was also a significantly better value than the other photographers we considered, especially those that are NYC based. Maybe that is a sign he should increase his rates, but in the meantime, he is very cost competitive with top notch NYC photographers. Probably the highest value per dollar of any of our wedding vendors.

    Highly recommended!

    Bruce Plotkin Photography's reply:

    Thanks for your kind words Alessandro. I do think I’ve proven you wrong about not being photogenic but I’m sure it helped that you were mostly accompanies by your beautiful bride and, of course, location, location, location. Just a wonderful wedding day and I can’t thank you enough for including me in your celebration!

    Bruce is absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't have asked for a more talented photographer! Our wedding photos turned out beautifully - Bruce captured all the special moments, laughs, tears, kisses, hugs, dance moves, etc. perfectly - we can't wait to cherish those photos for decades to come. He also put us at ease and kept us laughing and smiling - which really came through in the photos. He even drove up a few weeks before the wedding to check out our two venues for the reception and ceremony to scope out the scene and lighting. We also worked with Bruce for our engagement photos and again he did an amazing job - and we had so much fun. Bruce was such a pleasure to work with throughout, and the photos he captured are truly spectacular. Wish we could give him 6 stars!

    We are so happy to have found Bruce in our photographer search. He had experience with our venue and as soon as I spoke to him, I knew he was the right person to capture our special moments. Bruce was very accommodating and responsive which was greatly appreciated as we live several hours from our wedding locale. The day-of, Bruce and Athena were amazing, they were everywhere and nowhere all at once and we could not be happier with our photos. We would recommend Bruce Plotkin Photography to anyone!

    Bruce is hands down the absolute best photographer. The proof is in the quality of his work. The photos he captures are timeless and stunning. He is such a pleasure to work with and spent time at our venue finding the best spots for our photos. He was completely flexible as well when we had a sudden change at the venue and we had to change our photo location. He found us another perfect spot! He also was sure to capture every shot we wanted and some amazing shots of our families. We will be enjoying his photos for the rest of our lives.

    Choosing Bruce Plotkin as our wedding day photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our day! Bruce was an amazing person to work with from the beginning, he understood what I needed from him as a full time graduate student planning a wedding and he could have not been more professional, patient and all around present throughout my time planning. Once the wedding day came, he and his second shooter worked like a well-oiled machine alongside my other vendors. He was where he said he would be, he was on time and he knew everything we wanted captured for our day and then-some! Having Bruce as our photographer was so much fun, and we absolutely love the candid moments of our day that he and his partner captured! Before we had taken off for our honeymoon he had a preview of the photos and they were stunning! Later we received all of our photos and they blew us away. A year after our wedding Bruce still keeps in touch, with kind sentiments and other thoughtful touches, the only thing that matches the quality of his work would be the great quality of his personality!

    My wife and I could not have been any happier having Bruce and his team shoot our wedding and capture the incredible moments so perfectly and beautifully. Working with Bruce throughout the entire experience, from the months leading up to the wedding through the event itself and then afterward, was just a great experience. Bruce is a true mensch (a consummate gentleman... loosely translated from Yiddish). He was so genuinely invested in us and in our families, and in making sure that he did everything possible to tell a beautiful story through the photographs of our wedding. He struck the perfect balance of somehow being there to capture every moment, without anyone feeling like he was ever in the way or pushing our guests out of the way to get to the right spot. We had a quick look slideshow of the wedding within days of the event -- a perfect way to reflect on the night. And we have flipped through and shared our pictures with friends and family countless times. We would highly recommend Bruce Plotkin Photography to any of our family and friends. Thanks for everything, Bruce!

    Bruce Plotkin and his team are amazing. They are highly skilled, professional and they made our wedding day so special. Prior to our wedding, Bruce really took his time to get to know us as a couple. He came to the city for our engagement shoot and we spent hours talking and taking pictures together. During our wedding day Bruce made us feel relaxed and he works quickly making sure to get the best shots and perfect light. Bruce’s work is absolutely beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with our pictures and album.

    Bruce is the absolute BEST. I have known Bruce since I was a child and wouldn’t have gone with anyone else as our wedding photographer. Working with him on our wedding day was such a pleasure – he is so much fun and made us comfortable the entire time. We were amazed by his ability to pick such perfect locations around the wedding venue property and capture so many amazing moments during the day that we didn’t even know were happening. We could not have asked for better photographs. Each one came out so beautifully and we are so lucky to have so many wonderful photos to capture such a special day. If you look at photos from his website and blog, you will see that it is truly hard to compare his work to anyone else’s – he is really the best. Thank you so much Bruce!

    Bruce was a pleasure the entire day. He is creative,pleasant,funny and very considerate. He organized all the family members for group pictures without ever loosing his cool even though so many people weren't listening. The most important issue is his first concern for the whole day was the bride and groom and their happiness for wonderful memories. He remained professional right to the end never watched the clock,remained well after the scheduled time to make sure he caught it all!!!!!

    Could not have asked for a more amazing Photographer on my wedding day. Bruce was incredible! He was great to have around on my wedding day and captured the most amazing moments. I received my pictures 2 weeks after my event and all my friends told me I wouldn't see anything for months, he also created a great slideshow that I could share with my friends and family a few days after my wedding. From the moment I met him I knew he would be the perfect photographer for my wedding day, he brought an amazing calmness to me and helped me to relax and not worry about anything. His assistant Leslie was also great, I couldn't have ask for a better team. I have not one complaint, I hope to work with him more in the future. I would recommend Bruce for everything and anything - he was perfect.

    It is such a pleasure to work with a photographer the day of your wedding who is charming, considerate, and just lovely to be around. He was so completely respectful of the ceremony and reception- yet managed to capture every single moment! When I look through the pictures, I literally feel like I am back at my wedding, absolutely amazing! I have showed a number of friends and families and keep hearing, "These are the best wedding photos I have ever seen...and I am not just saying that!" We even have a friend of the family that asked for his number, simply so she could call him and tell him what a genius he is. If you are looking to truly capture the moment, work with a great person, and especially have a love for candids- I would highly encourage you to reach out to Bruce!

    Bruce has been a joy to work with from the very beginning of our wedding preparations. He couldn't be more accommodating-he even came to Brooklyn to shoot our engagement photos. He's extremely prompt in answering any concerns and delivered our photos less than 2 weeks after the wedding. He put together a great slideshow and even went to the trouble to find our first dance song to accompany it. Now to the photos--they are fantastic! We really wanted a photojournalistic style and Bruce and his assistant captured every aspect of our wedding. The photos look so natural and everyone looks so happy. All of our friends and family who have seen the photos have commented on how gorgeous they look. In my opinion, photos are one of the most important parts of the wedding since they are the lasting memories and we have so many fabulous photos to select. I keep looking at them again and again and am looking forward to building my album.

    Bruce is wonderful!! After being a bridesmaid in two weddings where Bruce was the photographer, I knew I wanted to have him as my photographer as well! He is so easy to talk to and will work with you to make sure you have many wonderful pictures to remember your special day. I love that Bruce takes the normal portrait pictures, but takes many candid shots as well, so you are able to see "true, actual" shots from your wedding day. I would highly recommend Bruce to anyone who wants to have natural, memorable, and elegant wedding pictures to revisit through a lifetime!

    You can not find a photographer better than Bruce! Not only does he keep your photos original he is understanding, professional, and a lot of fun. I couldn't be happier the way our wedding and engagement photos came out. Bruce truly was able to capture the story and the day!

    When we told a recently married friend we were engaged, the first thing she said was, "You have to get my photographer, Bruce Plotkin, he is amazing!" Well, if you're getting married in the Northeast, you have to get our photography, Bruce Plotkin, because he is amazing! Bruce is an excellent photographer, but beyond that he's very professional and was a joy to work with on our wedding day. He (and his assistant, he brought a second photographer) was somehow always there to capture a moment but never in the way or obtrusive. He has an easygoing manner that made the portraits a pleasure and made it easy to have him around for so much of our day. He was very responsive to our calls and questions leading up to the event. And the photographs are spectacular! Before we had even left for our honeymoon, he had sent us a "sneak peak" slideshow of pictures set to our first dance song, and during out honeymoon we received a link to all our pictures as well as a very well-done draft album. We're working with him now to set up our album, and we expect it to be a breeze based on our experience so far. Highly recommended!

    I can't tell you what a delight it was to work with Bruce Plotkin. The quality of his work is out of this world. If you are one who wants a photographer to capture candids, trust me: go with Bruce. His photography is creative and captures such moving emotion. He captured moments of our wedding that I had no idea about, and looking at his photographs has given us the chance to relive every special moment. Not only is he a gifted photographer, but he is such an endearing guy, who seems to truly appreciate the love and attention that we brides put into our weddings. With absolutely no reservations, I recommend Bruce Plotkin.

    If I could add pluses onto the star ratings I would. This was by far our BEST experience of the wedding. The minute we met Bruce, we knew he was the most professional and best choice for us. We opted to have photography only, so we wanted to ensure the day was well documented. We have no regrets, he and his team did a SUPERB job recording our wedding memories and more than that, we LOVE the images we got. Bruce went above and beyond for us, and we are grateful for his expertise and extra care. You've got to see his pictures in person to really appreciate the true beauty of his work; the internet can never do it justice. We'll remember Bruce for a lifetime.

    Bruce is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He is very accomodating ( i got married during a hurricane!) and knows how to deal with uncooperative relatives in a nice way. I would reccomend Bruce to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

    Bruce was fabulous! He took both out engagement and wedding photos and I could not have asked for a better photographer. He was fun, professional and took amazing pictures. He was quick with the posed photos lke we asked and he took so many great photos. He sent us a sample slideshow just days after the wedding and had all of the photos ready in less than two weeks after the wedding. He is really fantastic and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
