    11/10, just wonderful!

    If i could give 100 stars I would!! Where can I even begin with Bryan, he was simply a delight to work with in every aspect. From scheduling our shoot til the day of, Bryan was prompt with his responses and extremely detail oriented. The day of our shoot was so seamless, Bryan made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and in front of all of new york who watched as we took our photos at the top of the rock. Bryan was so accommodating, kind and provided such a calming energy for us and our photos reflected that. On top of being so personally wonderful, his photos not only captured our vision, but exceeded anything we had in mind, and quickest turnaround I have ever experienced (i’m talking next day!!!!). So long story short, if you find yourself needing a photographer, I couldn’t recommend Bryan enough.

    Phenomenal Photographer and Great Guy!

    I have been a fan of Bryan Sargent for four years, since he shot the early pandemic Central Park elopement of two friends of mine. The way he covered the wedding and so beautifully captured the love and joy of two people in an incredibly trying time was stunning, and I knew when it was my turn he would be the first - and only - call. Bryan has a talent for finding the unexpected moments that make a wedding unique: a quiet moment between flower girl and grandfather; a shared secret between bride and maid of honor; a high five between groom and friend. Shooting a wedding for Bryan is not about checking boxes and taking pictures of what makes them all the same, but instead he finds those elements that make each unique. Reviewing our edit after the wedding, we were struck by how much energy and life he managed to get into every frame. Despite being a solo shooter he is somehow everywhere, never missing a single moment while slipping into the background.

    But that’s just his photographic talent; what’s behind the camera is even more special. He’s kind and funny and laid back. We hadn’t thought about doing an engagement shoot but I’m glad we did because Bryan’s approach puts his subjects at ease, making gentle suggestions when you don’t know how to pose and snapping when candid moments occur. My husband and I feel like we’ve made a lifelong friend – something I think he probably makes every couple he works with feel.

    Candid Perfect!!

    Bryan was the one vendor that was the least stressful to communicate with. He made the whole process seamless, relaxing and enjoyable. He knew the right things to say when I started to panic about being a few minutes late to our first look. We can’t stop looking at our wedding pictures, we absolutely love them. Thank you for capturing everyone’s expressions organically, it’s all we ever wanted!!

    Everything was absolutely Perfect!!

    Bryan was so professional AND easy going from the first time we met him and throughout the entire experience. The photos were not only stunning but were very creative and told the story of the entire day! We can't stop looking at them because they bring us back to that special day. We HIGHLY recommend Bryan!!

    Fantastic Photographer!

    We used Bryan Sargent's photography services for our wedding a few weeks ago. We just received our photos back (so quickly), and they are beyond my wildest expectations! They are absolutely stunning and they so perfectly and genuinely captured every part of our special day. It has been such a treat to be able to look through these photos and relive the evening over and over again! Bryan has such an incredible eye and is an extremely talented photographer! He is also very relaxed and calming which definitely helped on such an emotional day. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone!

    Our Wedding Photographer and now, Our Friend!

    I’ll start my review by saying we absolutely love Bryan and would choose him again and again! During wedding planning, we interviewed many photographers to get a sense of style, personality, and price. With some of the companies we talked to, I felt like we were just another couple they wanted to add to the docket and it was super impersonal. When Russell and I met Bryan, we realized we met someone really special!! We were nervous about our engagement shoot because we didn’t want to be awkward, and Bryan put us so much as ease. We had so much fun with him, and honestly couldn’t wait for the wedding. Leading up to the wedding, communication was clear and consistent. A week before the wedding I thought I might have communicated the schedule wrong to my hair and make up girls and he made himself available right away to go through the timeline and ensure me that I was right and all was ok. The day of the wedding, Bryan arrived early and the energy was so positive and fun! We had some rain but that didn’t stop us from having a blast and getting some of the most beautiful shots I’ve ever seen. When the rain cleared, we ran outside and got great photos there too! All the while, despite the weather and the crazy family, Bryan stayed cool and calm, which was great for us. The day was truly so fun and magical and he played a huge part in that. After the wedding we got our entire album back in less than 2 weeks!! It was AMAZING! I speak so highly of Bryan and all I can say is that I can’t wait for more family events where we can hire him to come photograph. He captures his couples so beautifully and is also just a wonderful person to know!! You will not be disappointed with Bryan!

    AMAZING wedding photographer

    STUNNING WEDDING PHOTOS. Bryan got the job done- lighting, portraits, candids.. we were all blown away by the beauty of the day that was captured. Grateful I get to look back on these timeless photos.

    An artist!

    Bryan was an exceptional artist to work with from the start! We used his talents for our engagement, civil ceremony and of course formal wedding + reception photos. Bryan has a natural ease about him -- allowing the subject(s) to let their guards down, in turn letting him work his magical photography skills. I cannot recommend Bryan enough, to those local to NYC or the surrounding Tri-State area, he is truly a talented treasure to the photography community. Our finished product was truly a work of art. Thank you again, Bryan!

    True Professional

    Bryan was extremely responsive and amenable to last minute changes and adjustments. He helped make the best of the rain and guided me and my husbands schedule, making recommendations to ensure we got the best photos and had the best time. I am in love with what we got.

    Captured our day perfectly!

    Working with Bryan was a total breeze! If you're looking for a photographer who is really easygoing, he is definitely your guy. I was shocked when we got our pictures back in just a few days and he had managed to capture so many moments that I have literally no recollection of him being there for. Maybe we were just in our own mental bubble but it feels like he was always in the right place at the right time without anyone noticing. And they are so gorgeous to boot - we have truly never looked better.

    A photographer who doesn't get in the way of you enjoying your special day

    Bryan Sargent was exactly the photographer we were looking for to shoot our wedding. We were looking for someone with an editorial style who would be more like a fly on the wall and let us and our guests enjoy our ceremony and reception as it happened without interrupting nor needing to take us away from our special day.

    Once we met him we loved his energy. He just is a fun and happy person to be around. Personally I was nervous about photos because I don't consider myself a photogenic person and tend to involuntarily make awkward faces when a camera is around. We got to meet and learn more about each other during our engagement shoot. We originally didn't plan on doing engagement photos but it was instrumental in him getting familiar with us and how we do in front of a camera. The photos turned out amazing.

    As for the wedding, Bryan made the whole experience seamless. He is very efficient and got all the shots he needed to without really needing to stop us or pose us. He just went with the flow of the day and got what he needed as things happened, and that was really important to us. He did his research with the venue and even got us up onto the rooftop for the best photos of the day which we weren't sure we would get access to.

    Bryan also has a good eye for catching unusual, unexpected, yet super interesting moments that happen throughout the day, which is also what drew us to him. He definitely captured some of the moments for us for our wedding. We skipped on getting a videographer, and don't regret it because we felt like the essence of the day was fully captured in Bryan's photos.

    Incredibly professional artist

    TLDR: Bryan was just worth EVERY 👏 SINGLE 👏 CENT 👏. If you are looking for expertly captured emotion, editorial/journalistic style, professionalism, reliable + quick turnaround time, and a really really nice and (honestly?) very lovable photographer, Bryan Sargent is The One. // HE IS AN ARTIST: My husband and I are both creatives with a very specific vision for our non-traditional wedding. We had a hard-to-name style we were looking for: a combination of editorial (drama! lighting! art!), journalistic (candid, authentic, unscripted moments), and film (gritty, vintage) which asks for expertise and experience. While researching wedding websites, Bryan's photos made us stop dead in our tracks and look at each other. Here were the drama-filled editorial shots, like pages from magazines. Here were the incredible candid shots that captured volumes of emotions in split seconds: The bride's face when her friends surprised them in public, a groom's genuine laughter tossed over his shoulder, a mother looking in a mirror. THAT is what I was looking for. // HE IS A PROFESSIONAL: Bryan is just... really good at what he does. He is really good at running his business. He is reliable, highly communicative, and high quality. // QUICK EYE: His keen eye identifies money shots quickly, he directs you smoothly and expertly, and he has his shot in seconds. He is a master with light and color and composition. // NO AWKWARDNESS: Each photo is amazing and we were stunned at the beauty of the shots that sometimes, we didn't even remember him taking. // QUICK TURNAROUND TIME: Most of my friends wait months to get their wedding photos back. We got ours within two weeks. There were 400 photos and they were all edited. Select were black and white. He even had film photos. I don't know how he does it. //HE IS A GENUINELY NICE AND FUN PERSON: He is so nice and funny and sweet. I learned so much about him as a person. I'm his biggest fan. // FINAL COMMENTS: Bryan is really worth it. If you are looking for one thing to NOT worry about during your wedding, and want someone you can trust to do amazing work and be on top of it at all times - hire him. Your photos will be unreal.

    Highly Recommend!

    Bryan is the absolute best! We can’t recommend him enough. We LOVE our wedding and engagement photos and hope to continue working with him again in the future.

    The top 5 things that stand out about Bryan:

    #1 His photography skills are top notch. In addition to having our planned shot list and locations selected, he creates on the fly and captures candids and movement so well. These creative and candid photos are our favorite from our big day.

    #2 We love his editing style. We prefer a style that’s a bit more editorial and all of our photos from him look like they could be in a magazine. It’s truly amazing.

    #3 He is truly the nicest person. He has a sense of kind calmness that helps so much on days like wedding days and is also the type of person you want to hang out with. This made working with him so seamless and easy.

    #4 He edits very quickly. Bryan was able to get us our fully edited set of engagement photos within just a few days and somehow managed to get us our full (and giant) library of beautifully edited wedding photos in just a week after our wedding. He said it typically takes him no longer than 1-2 weeks to do this which is so great as no one wants to wait a month or more for their wedding photos.

    #5 He was very accommodating when we requested adding a second shooter due to the size of our wedding. Although he typically shoots weddings solo, he had a great recommended colleague who came on to support photography for the day. She shot within the same style as Bryan, and because he edited all the photos, they all fall within the same style and the high standards that Bryan has.

    Photographs better than I could have imagined!

    Bryan did SUCH a lovely job photographing our wedding day (and engagement shoot!). We were looking for someone who can capture candid and authentic moments big and small and Bryan was exactly that and more. He gives you direction when needed and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We are so happy that we have Bryan's photos to cherish, they came out better than I could have imagined.

    Highly recommended

    Bryan is fantastic! His professionalism, friendliness, and skill is second to none. We had regular communication with him from start to finish, from our initial meeting to see if we were a good fit to each other, through the wedding and beyond. We are both awkward in front of the camera, but he was able to put us at ease and make us laugh. For the post-processing we had a specific style in mind, and he went above and beyond to provide us with different examples to help us get things just right. At the end of the day, we have a beautiful set of photos that we will treasure forever. It is clear that he is a very skilled photographer, and the composition and lighting in his pictures are amazing. Can't recommend him enough!

    Wedding photos came out even BETTER than expected

    Can't get over how great our wedding photos turned out! They are so beautifully shot, and perfectly composed, with the sort of "Coveteur"-esque flash photography that makes everyone look fantastic. Additionally, Bryan was incredibly kind and accommodating, from start to finish during the process. Feeling so lucky to have worked with Bryan and will definitely work with him again in the future! Highly recommend Bryan if you want your wedding photos to come out even better than you expected.

    Amazing photographer!

    We’re so glad we found Bryan to photograph our wedding! Bryan is an absolute pleasure to work with and captured our wedding beautifully—we are obsessed with the pictures. We also really enjoyed doing an engagement photoshoot with him a few months before of our wedding, because both of us were a little camera shy—so it was nice getting to know + work with him in advance and have him make us so comfortable and look so great! 10/10 recommend!!

    Wonderful Experience!

    Working with Bryan was wonderful! There were a lot of last minute details for our wedding (including in the hours before it began) and he adjusted with us at every turn. He also did a fantastic job of incorporating a special family heirloom into our getting-ready and post-ceremony photos. He did a wonderful job of capturing this fairly camera shy couple and making us feel comfortable at every step along the way!

    Bryan is the best of the best

    Working with Bryan was incredible. Not only as his photos artful, stunning and perfectly capture THE moments, but he is a pleasure to be around. Funny, kind and pleasant. We treasure our pictures from our wedding and always will, and are forever grateful to Bryan.

    Bryan was perfect in every way. Casual but professional, lovely and kind but unintrusive, and very talented. We absolutely love our photos and have received many comments from others about them too.

    Fantastic to work with!

    Bryan was wonderful on our wedding day, we also did engagement photos with him prior to get to know each other a bit more and get a sense of his style. We are so happy with our wedding photos, the day was perfectly captured and he over delivered on candids! Would highly recommend.

    Stop looking and hire this man!

    It's not often that you get to sit down to write a review and have absolutely nothing negative, albeit constructive, to say. From the very first interaction up until the delivery of the files, Bryan proved to be one of the best photographers I have ever worked with (personally and professionally). We had a small, 10-person, wedding ceremony and Bryan captured the intimacy in truly amazing splendor. He also worked with our budget, which was way below the typical NYC wedding cost. He was full of ideas... he was open to making the process collaborative, listening to my own thoughts, and even throwing some film photography into the mix. I can't recommend him enough.

    Bryan was fantastic!

    We were lucky enough to be recommended Bryan and meet him at our friends’ beautiful wedding and after seeing his work were so excited to have him photograph our wedding day. We had to change our original wedding date due to COVID restrictions and he was so kind and supportive to us during this time. He also gave us a lot of useful advice prior to planning our intimate wedding day, helping us choose our photo spots in Central Park. On the wedding day he made us and our families feel relaxed and at ease and captured the joy of the day whilst cracking jokes and always having a big smile on his face. He delivered the beautiful photos in less than a week and we loved revisiting the special day on the beach on our honeymoon! We are so grateful that Bryan was part of our wedding day and we would thoroughly recommend working with him!
