    Nancy Zumpano Photography creates the most unforgettable experience!

    Nancy Zumpano Photography created the most beautiful portfolio for both our engagement and wedding photos. Our photography experience was comfortable and seamless, thanks to Nancy and Joell at Nancy Zumpano Photography!

    Our major requirements when choosing a photographer was a great sense of humor and consideration to our comfort - Nancy and Joell absolutely checked these boxes! We are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but they made us feel like we were spending time with long-time friends!

    Nancy and Joell are extremely respectful, knowledgeable, personable, flexible, and diligent. We couldn't have chosen a better company to capture the most special moment of our lives together. Nancy was familiar with the venue where we were married and has the best recommendations for photo locale, poses, and transitions for group photos.

    We will absolutely be recommending Nancy Zumpano Photography to anyone who needs professional photos taken for any special event. In addition, we cannot wait to utilize their services for any future special events!

    Thank you Nancy and Joell!

    Amazing Photography and Experience

    Nancy did such a wonderful job with our engagement and wedding photos. My now husband and I weren't fully comfortable in front of a camera before meeting up with Nancy but she had us opening up in such a short time. We have amazing photos from the engagement session from exploring a new location that we wouldn't have thought of. The wedding photos are phenomenal and show just how great a day it was. Nancy and Joell went above and beyond to make our day so special and we are so glad to have all of the incredible photos to look back on. Nancy always made us feel comfortable and the photos look so natural while showcasing the fun and our different personalities. Highly recommended!

    Wedding Day

    Nancy Zumpano Photography left us speechless after receiving the photos from our wedding day. This review is going to be hard to explain just how amazing Nancy and her team are. The photos are truly beautiful and captivating. Honestly, I think some could be in a wedding magazine. Nancy captures the moment effortlessly. She is able to make you feel like you are a part of the day all over again. Before the big day, she asked what we wanted. She made sure to accommodate my husband, who is not as thrilled with getting his picture taken. Nancy had very clear instructions on what she needed from me and my bridal party ahead of time. Nancy worked with me on timing. She made sure I was going to have time the day of for everything I wanted to capture. I was hesitant with the timing at first, but we were right on schedule and, if anything, really early, which I don't think ever happens. She made sure to go on a walk through with us at the venue and came to rehersal. She talked to our bridal party and was professional but to the point to make sure people understood her expectations. Nancy made sure that our portfolio was diverse with shots from different areas from the venue. She has you send photos that you love and create them on site but also finds ways to create on the spot. My bridal party had people who didn't like photos being taken. They expressed to me after the fact that they loved how Nancy made them feel in the moment. She explained ahead of time terminology she was going to use and what she meant by it. My girls talked about how they loved how enthusiastic she was when we got the shot and made them feel beautiful. Lastly, they expressed how nice it was to have guidance during those times of unknown. The groomsmen, although cracked jokes, also talked about how stunning the photos came out and felt the emotions of the day looking back on it. Nancy was flexible the day of our wedding. When things didn't go to plan, she was calm and looked for solutions very easily. I highly recommend Nancy Zumpano Photography to anyone! Once again these are photos we will have for a lifetime! Thank you again for all you do Nancy! We loved having you be apart of our special day!

    Nancy Photography Wedding

    Nancy was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met her I knew she was going to nail it.. and she did. She made it her mission to get to know and understand our love story. My husband and I had a huge bridal party (10 girls and 11 boys) and she did an amazing job getting beautiful photos done quickly and effortlessly. She shot beautiful photos and we didn’t miss any of the party!! Our families are also huge !!!! She managed to wrangle each and every family member to get all of the pictures we wanted. Our priorities were her priorities. She also made us a slideshow and my entire family and friends were in tears watching it. It’s been on repeat ever since she sent it to us. Nancy is professional, kind, fun, passionate, and incredibly talented. We were so lucky to have her capture our special day.

    Personalized and Fun Experience!

    Nancy and Joell were punctual and organized. They took time to teach us how to pose and explained their process so we knew what to expect. Then, the fun began! We danced, laughed, and were really involved in the creative process. Nancy and Joell wanted our input on what we liked and then brought it to life in the finished products. They did an amazing job of capturing our story and love for each other with an amazing video slideshow that was so great it brought tears of joy to my eyes. I can’t thank them enough!

    Our Story tellers!

    Nancy & Joell were wonderful! They were very professional, kind and creative. We were so rushed trying to get everyone ready in time, they pulled people aside quickly to get special moments on camera. They were very thoughtful and had great ideas. They were able to capture all of the exciting moments on camera including allot of moments that I didn't know about since I was focused on getting ready. I would have missed out on these if Nancy & Joell were not there. I was just blown away by their work!

    Nancy went absolutely above and beyond from the second that we met. Not only has she photographed our wedding, but so many other milestones! Her attention to detail is impeccable, not to mention she is the sweetest and greatest to work with. I will never be using another photographer again!

    Not your typical wedding photographer

    When we hired a photographer we knew we wanted something different. We found someone who cared about the photos she was capturing, took the time to get to know us and the important people in our lives, and listened to what we envisioned for our day. Nancy was the ultimate professional. She not only did a phenomenal job capturing the story of our day but did it in a way that was unobtrusive. The end results were stunning.

    Highly recommend- flexible, creative, comforting, and so high quality!

    Nancy is such a great photographer — we feel so lucky to have her. She’s shot our engagement (pics below) and will be shooting our wedding. I am super nervous in front of a camera and she does so well in making me comfortable, and is generally such a joy to be around. She’s super good at getting gorgeous, cute shots I would’ve never thought of. Plus, she threw in a free ADORABLE engagement video for us.

    Excellent communication and organization!

    Nancy and Joell were better wedding photographers than we ever could have hoped for! They were communicative and flexible throughout the entire process. We had multiple planning discussions and sessions to make sure all our wishes came true! Amidst everything else that goes into planning a wedding, this was extremely reassuring. On the day of, while they were still flexible, they were also willing to be assertive to ensure everything on our list was captured. I found this very helpful. On top of all that, our pictures are breathtaking! Even weeks later, I'm still obsessed! We cannot thank Nancy and Joell enough!

    Best photographer!

    We couldn't be more thrilled with our experience working with this team for our wedding! From the very first consultation, they made us feel completely at ease, offering thoughtful guidance on everything from the timeline to the types of shots we wanted. On the big day, they were nothing short of amazing—capturing every beautiful, candid moment without ever being intrusive. The photos are absolutely breathtaking and perfectly encapsulate the joy, love, and emotion of our special day. Each image exceeded our expectations in terms of quality and artistry. If you're looking for a photographer who is professional, talented, and truly passionate about their work, we highly recommend them! Thank you for making our memories last a lifetime!

    Memory Captured

    Nancy is friendly and flexible. Her experience enables her to capture the moments that count. The forecast was calling for rain and she went out of her way to ensure we had our foliage captured and made taking pictures in the rain fun. We highly recommend her for your next event.

    Excellent Experience, Great Pricing, Wonderful Photos

    I had an excellent experience with Nancy Zumpano photography. They gave me a reasonable and fair price based on my specific wedding photography needs, and had a very thorough meeting with me to discuss how I needed to prepare and what that needed from me. The day of my wedding, Nancy and Joell jumped right in, took great photos of the ceremony, coordinated the large group photo, and family photos. They exceeded my expecting, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone else's wedding photography needs.

    Absolutely amazing

    I can not express enough how amazing Nancy and Joell were to work with. They went above and beyond anything I expected from a photographer, and by the time our wedding came along they felt like friends. Our photos came out beautifully and I just can not imagine our wedding day with any other photographer. We knew exactly what to expect at every stage, they talked us through how to get the best photos, and even made a trip to plan photo spots at our venue before our big day. Absolutely amazing people to work with!!

    Enthusiastic photographer, beautiful photos!

    We had a great experience working with Nancy Zumpano Photography. From our initial conversations, it was clear that Nancy was very enthusiastic about not producing cookie-cutter photos, but rather photos that reflect what is important to us as a couple. Our engagement photo session was SO helpful for getting comfortable being ourselves, and we were so pleasantly surprised to have a beautiful slideshow & thumb drive of the results to keep.

    The amount of pre-wedding organization Nancy facilitated made things run very smoothly on the day-of while making sure to capture all the key photos that were important to us. Both her and Joell brought such a positive energy to our wedding. They captured us and all of our guests naturally and beautifully. We could not be happier with our experience!

    Couldn’t have asked for better!

    Nancy was absolutely amazing, she really focuses on getting to know a couple and giving them what they want out of their special day. She is super professional but also manages to get you laughing which gives you the absolute best photos possible. During our engagement shoot her attention went into finding the best angles and lighting for our actual wedding so on the fay of, she was fully prepared and already knew exactly where she needed to be. Her focus really is on giving you memories that you will be able to look back on for years.

    Best Photographer!

    Nancy and her assistant are the best at what they do. They went above and beyond to ensure our wedding day was as perfect as it was. I couldn’t have imagined anyone who could have done a better job. They made sure the wedding party enjoyed themselves and made sure everyone felt comfortable. She kept in touch and made sure we had everything we needed. We met multiple times beforehand to go over what photos we wanted to ensure we got what we wanted and had plenty of time to enjoy our wedding. She provided a slideshow of some of the photos within a day or two after the wedding, I couldn’t believe it! Our photos are beautiful and something we will cherish forever. If I could recommend Nancy a million times I definitely would!

    Amazing photographer!

    Nancy is absolutely great! My fiance and I booked her for our wedding and she did our engagement photos. She was professional and easy to work with. I had to reschedule our photo shoot and she was very flexible and worked so well with us. The photos are amazing!!! I'm so happy I found this photographer!
