    Hire them for your wedding!

    HOT is the best! During the day of the wedding, the whole crew was so nice and friendly. The exact people you want on your biggest day.

    We just received the videos and they are everything we hoped for. My whole family was happy with the way they turned out. The highlight video really captures the entire wedding in a beautiful 5 minute video. We also have amazing full length videos of the wedding. We could not be more happy with what we got.

    HOT is the best!

    House of Talent is awesome! They were so professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process! I can’t thank Sumdarsh enough for bracing 90+ degree heat to get our amazing engagement photos! The whole team was extremely punctual throughout the wedding weekend and so calming during all the chaos! Our photos and videos are STUNNING and I cannot thank them enough for capturing the best memories of our lives!!

    Accommodating & Understanding

    HOT! What can I say?! When your original photographer cancels on you a few weeks before your wedding, you are scrambling. My first call was HOT because of all the people I know have used them. We met with HOT team 3 weeks before our wedding and we were so pleased. They understood us and as a couple and our nerves due to COVID, and yet they made us feel more comfortable by guiding us and being part of our wedding. We changed things around up until probably a few days before, and yet they were still accommodating. We just got our pictures yesterday, and I am blown away! I cannot stop staring at them. They came out absolutely stunning and I have no words my breath has been taken away. I cannot wait to see our video, I am so beyond happy we used HOT and I look forward to using them in the future for other events!

    Excellent service

    I used House of Talent for all of my wedding events, and from the very beginning to the very end it was a pleasure working with them. I appreciated their responsiveness and attention to detail. Everything that I could have asked for, they made it happen. I highly recommend them!

    The team from House of Talent was wonderful from start to finish! They were very professional and responsive of all my email and calls. When it got to the day of the wedding my photographer and videographer was very nice to work with. We were running a little late but I am sure all the photos turned out amazing!!

    I will definitely use them for future events.

    Many of my friends have used HOT in the past and I knew that when the time came for me to get married, I wanted them to do my wedding photography and videography. During the weeks prior to the wedding, they were very responsive to all of our questions and concerns regarding our wedding day and timeline. Due to bad weather conditions, we had to push our engagement shoot to 3 weeks before the wedding but we received our photos within a few days and our touched up photos and canvas were ready to go for our wedding day. On the wedding day, they arrived on time and we had plenty of time to take getting ready photos. We also had a lot of family pictures to take prior to our wedding ceremony but the HOT team was very professional and never rushed our photo sessions. Thanks to them, we were on time for our wedding ceremony & reception. I have been to other people's weddings and receptions where I see photographers standing around on their phones and not taking pictures. The HOT team was definitely working the entire day and was by our side. It was a pleasure working with Sudeep and the rest of the HOT team. We are looking forward to our pictures and videos.

    We knew we wanted to work with House of Talent from the minute we started planning our wedding. House of Talent has worked with many of our family members, so we had no doubt they would do an amazing job. We worked with Sumdarsh for our events, and he was wonderful to work with. His personality fit ours perfectly. He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and we couldn't be happier with how our pictures and videos came out! The entire House of Talent team was extremely professional and friendly. They responded to emails and phone calls right away, and took care of any concerns we had. Even after our wedding was over, they still kept in touch and worked with us to create and amazing wedding album and video. We highly recommend House of Talent to anyone looking for a wedding photographer/videographer.

    Sudeep and the rest of the HOT team did an amazing job in helping us make our wedding week such a success and we are so happy with the service provided to us. Thank you for being so patient with us and the family throughout the wedding planning process and assisting us with the live streaming so our family in India would be able to watch our events live. Everyone in India were so grateful and felt like they were part of the events. We are excited and looking forward to see the final products.

    House of Talent had photographed/videographed a few of my friends’ wedding/reception events in the past and once I saw their albums I knew I wanted them for ours as well. The entire House of Talent team has been a great pleasure to work with since day one. Our engagement shoot was also with them and our photographer was enthusiastic and made the whole shoot so much fun. Our head photographer for our wedding and reception, Sumdarash, was also a great pleasure to work with and has really creative photo ideas. The team was very accommodating to various changes that arose and were very professional and friendly during our entire relationship with them. We can’t wait to see our albums/videos! We highly recommend them to our friends and family!

    The House of Talent team is professional and makes everything look perfect. Seema was efficient and extremely helpful. She answer all of my questions and concerns right away and made me excited about our photo shoots. Sean was patient, kind and professional during our pre-wedding shoot in NYC on the coldest day of 2011. On our wedding day and reception, Sudeep made us have the most fun we had had in months. He was extremely patient with my family during family sessions and our large bridal party. It seems as if we ha known him for years. It is important for a bride to have a good photographer on her wedding day and I know that I made the best decision by going with the HOT team. They were more than I ever expected. ~Aman & Erick

    House of Talent has a very creative eye for photos! They captured moments during the wedding that we weren't even aware of. We were very impressed with their photographers/videographers during all of our events. We did not have to remind them to capture any moments. Whenever we looked, they were hard at work ensuring everyone and everything was being captured! They were never overbearing and very easy to work with. I would recommend their services without reservation to anyone looking for unique photos!!

    A wonderful experience, prompt and flexible with their time. The photo banner they made us was a big hit, and they made us feel very comfortable during our photo shoots. I really enjoyed working with HOT, they have a real eye for beauty and captured some beautiful shots during our events.

    These guys are set up both in NY and NJ. I really wanted a photographer who knew about Indian weddings, but also had a modern style. These guys nailed it! They made us very comfortable in front of the camera, provided excellent direction, and were a great group to work with. The best part was the drone! Everyone was very impressed and the shots came out beautifully. I went through a TON of photographers/videographers before I selected House of Talent and I'm glad I did. The price was on par with other places, but the quality of work was above and beyond

    House of Talent showed us a fantastic experience. They were great at communicating and getting back to you. Their prices were fair and they were courteous. The number one thing about these guys was the amount of work and effort they put in on the day of. It really shows in the pictures. I am very happy we went with House of Talent because they worked hard and made the day easy for my Husband and I.

    Photography

    Disappointed with the photography, no good shots of the big event, regret hiring them. They sent some free lance photographers to cover the event rather than showing up themselves. Would not recommend them.

    Hiring this company was the worst decision I made for my wedding, hands down. Wedding/event planning is stressful as it is, so do yourself a favor and do not hire these people! Photos/video are one of the most important things to take into consideration and is the only way to commemorate your special day, and they fall way below par.

    I can write a thesis about how terrible of an experience I've had with these guys (Sudeep in particular, I believe he was my photographer), but I will keep it brief.

    Firstly, they change their treatment of you based on how much you decide to spend with them. I wasn't interested in albums, so you can imagine that he wasn't thrilled and acted like he was doing me a favor by photographing my wedding.

    Out of the 8 hours that I hired them for, they took about 150 unique photos (which were not particularly nice either), everything else was a duplicate. I was flabbergasted and gutted. I reiterated many times that I would like photos of everything, food, guests, our families, and nothing was done. They gave a disclaimer that they can't help get family members together for photos and both the photographer and videographer stood there lamely while we ran around trying to put shots together ourselves.

    Many times both he and the videographer were nowhere to be found. I noticed this and pulled him aside to let him know that I needed more pictures to be taken. Sudeep became angry and started arguing with me, he didn't even have the basic decency to realize that he was being belligerent with a bride on her wedding day.

    Afterwards I requested the video clips and they made me send them a flash drive, because they couldn't bother spending $10 on one for someone who spent a few thousand dollars on their package.

    Save yourself from these guys, DO NOT USE THEM!
