    Warmly recommended

    Deborah took the best pictures of our small, improvised wedding ceremony at a historic venue. She was great to work with, flexible, assertive, and managed to really capture the energy of the ceremony and the party. After the wedding, she has been incredibly helpful at sharing the photos online, ordering prints etc. -- warmly recommended!

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Jeroen, It was a pleasure photographing you two and your families. I'm so glad you found me through the beautiful Keeler Tavern and I hope everyone is enjoying you Christmas presents of wedding photos!

    My favorite pictures of all time

    Deborah was very communicative and professional. On our big day, while we were busy adjusting the last details, she came in and made sure we had nothing to worry about when it came to pictures. She found excellent outdoor spots to shoot and was really fun to work with. Great results that I will look at with joy for the rest of my life!

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Maggie it such a special day, celebrating with your families from Connecticut and the Netherlands! I'm so glad we could also get those outdoor photos in the beautiful Keeler Tavern Gardens. I hope to be a part of your future celebrations as well!

    Amazing Photographer

    Deborah and her assistant Audra were absolutely wonderful! They were great to work with and the photos are stunning! We are so thrilled with our photos and will forever be able to cherish the day thanks to Deborah's beautiful work. It was helpful that we booked Deborah's services from a recommendation by our venue -- she was already familiar with the location so she knew the best places to get shots. We totally recommend Deborah for your event!

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Michaela, thanks so much for the kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and George on your beautiful wedding day!

    All we could have asked for

    Deborah was totally prepared, and very accessible. Her photographs from the entire day were wonderful. She captured all the impromptu moments along with knowing exactly how to set up the portraits. I never had to look for her and her wonderful Assistant. They just always seemed to be there, without really noticing them. However, I would have loved for them to be guests at the wedding because they were so caring and fun.

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Thank you Anne, we really enjoyed documenting the beautiful and festive wedding at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich and are so happy that everyone loves the photos!

    Amazing photographer!! Highly recommend!!

    Deborah was absolutely fantastic! We loved working with her and she made our day so memorable! Deborah was very easy to work with and her pricing is very reasonable. During the wedding day, Deborah and her assistant were very professional and took amazing photos! We loved the quality of the pictures, and we couldn't ask for a better photographer to work with! We also loved that we had 2 photographers and got high quality photos from 2 different perspectives. Also, Deborah turned around our photos in no time so we were able to show our family soon after our wedding! Our friends and family are so happy with how the photos turned out! HIGHLY recommend Deborah for your wedding!

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Andrew, thank you for your kind words, it was such a pleasure working with you and Julia to document your beautiful and fun wedding at The Stanwich Club in Greenwich. We so thrilled that everyone loves the photos!

    We highly recommend Deborah to anyone who is looking to hire a great photographer!

    Deborah K. O’Brien was our photographer for our wedding at the Lounsbury House in Ridgefield Connecticut, and we couldn’t have been happier with the job she did for us. We didn’t want the day to turn into a photoshoot that would force us to spend too much time away from our guests, but at the same time, we obviously wanted to have great pictures of our wedding. Deborah is a total professional who took fantastic pictures without taking us away from our guests. She even asked us beforehand what groups of guests we wanted pictures of, so that she could do that on her own during the reception. We are looking forward to picking out pictures for our album that was included in our package, so that we can look back on our wonderful day and share it with our family. We highly recommend Deborah to anyone who is looking to hire a great photographer!

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Marianne and Dennis, thank you for your kind words and I’m so happy you love your photos! I look forward to working together to create a beautiful wedding album for you when you decide on which photos!
    Warmly, Deborah

    Excellent experience

    Deborah is an outstanding wedding photographer. She closely listened to my vision and was flexible to adapt to exactly what I wanted for my small intimate wedding. Small, medium or large, she is a great choice for any party. The pictures are beautiful. She is professional, organized, talented and has a lovely personality. I felt confident working with her every step of the way.

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Thank you Ellen, it was a pleasure to document your and Michael's beautiful wedding at Shore and Country Club in E. Norwalk. It was so lovely on the water and I'm thrilled that you love your photos!

    Exquisite Photos

    Deborah was very precise and professional in guiding us through the picture process for our wedding day. She knew exactly what angles and lighting would work best for us, and the pictures certainly prove that!

    Wonderful!

    Deborah was so wonderful! I highly recommend choosing the engagement photoshoot as well. This time allowed the 3 of us to get to know each other before the wedding. This was helpful in learning each other's style. From start to finish, Deborah has been a true joy to work with. I highly recommend her!!

    Wedding Photographer

    Hello,
    Deborah is an exceptional photographer. My mom and I sent her a list of about 75 pictures we wanted taken at the venue, and she got every one of them, plus so much more. She really is very detail orientated and wasn't pushy at all. I would highly recommend Deborah as your wedding and engagement picture photographer.

    Deborah K. O'Brien Photographer's reply:

    Rachel, we are so happy you love your photos! Your and Dan's wedding was such a special event and we are honored to have been a part of it. Thank you for your kind words!

    My husband and I are not big on photos, but knew we needed the perfect photographer to capture our wedding day. Deborah K. O'Brien Photography was such a pleasure to work with.

    Amazing to work with!

    Deborah was our photographer for our late September wedding a few weekends ago! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking! Deborah was extremely attentive and reliable. She had great suggestions throughout the entire wedding process and even the day of! We got married at Woodway Country Club which she knew very well. Deborah had great suggestions on where to photograph our bridal party. We were able to see roughly a dozen photos she edited the day after our wedding and they were amazing! We were extremely pleased with the work she did. She made the entire process seamless and she is so sweet to work with! Again, I would highly recommend her!

    Wedding Review - Deborah O'Brien

    Deborah was fantastic to work with throughout the wedding planning process, from engagement photos, to the day of the actual day of the wedding. Deborah listened to what we were hoping to achieve and at the same time provided constructive input, which resulted in a number of wonderful and memorable photos.

    In addition, Deborah is pleasant to work with and is responsive. I highly recommend working with Deborah!

    Three October with Deborah!

    Deborah is the absolute best! She worked with us for our engagement shoot (10/19) and was so flexible when we changed our formal wedding to a small backyard affair (10/20). We're excited to have her team back again next year to photograph our 1-year anniversary reception (10/21)! Deborah's photos are gorgeous and we got a sneak peek batch THE MORNING AFTER our wedding-- I was literally eating my brunch and fawning over photos from the night before. Love you, Deborah!

    Highly Recommend - Great Service & Great Pictures

    Deborah was an absolute pleasure to work with. After my fiance and I had to cancel our original wedding we decided to have an intimate wedding in a different location in early October and Deborah was recommended to us by a friend. We could not have had a better experience. From our first phone call we knew that she would be easy to work with, and in an ever-changing environment with Covid it was clear she was thoughtful and willing to be flexible for us. On the day of our wedding she came in and got right to work and I did not have to worry about a thing! She got photos of all of our guests and we could not be happier with how they all turned out!! l highly recommend Deborah and would definitely work with her for future events!!
