    Amazing experience!

    We hired New Chapters Photography for our recent September 2022 wedding. Sten was extremely easy to communicate with and made us feel comfortable throughout the hiring, planning, and editing process. Priscilla was our primary photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. Priscilla had such a warm, bubbly personality that was contagious. She helped us feel relaxed and happy in our photos, which was really important to me–I wanted photos that looked authentic and candid, not overly posed or stuffy. Priscilla really helped us achieve that vision. I am in love with all the photos she took and Sten’s editing work. They are both experts of their crafts. I can’t recommend New Chapters enough for your photography needs!

    Pick this vendor - you won't regret it!

    Yoko and Sten were great! We had such a good time with Yoko (and Josh) at our wedding at Juniata Valley Winery in Mifflin, PA. Yoko and Josh were attentive during our big day and worked so well with our videographer to help capture all our special moments. Sten did an amazing job editing our photos - our friends and family love them! We would 100% recommend this company to anyone we know getting married.

    Stop your search!

    When we contacted New Chapters, we were put in the hands of Yoko. We were very set in what we wanted: no typical posed pictures, no first look; none of that. This was a wedding joining an Amercian and Spaniard and in no way typical! From the very beginning, Yoko "got it"! When she did engagement photos at Mt Gretna, we knew we made the right choice! She knew the connection to the outdoors and adventure and fun! She was everyplace on our actual event day and we cannot wait to see the pictures. We know they will be perfect!!!!

    New Chapters Photography's reply:

    You are too kind Jill! We were so happy to be a part of their day! Thanks for letting us be a part of the family that evening.

    I'm so happy that I chose Jeff to photograph my Febuary wedding! He was flexible, responsive, creative, and the pictures are gorgeous. As soon as I got my photos my family and I spent hours looking through them, trying to pick out our favorites. We could not be happier. If there is one element of your wedding you cannot settle for, it has to be the photos. Make sure you get the best!

    A joy to work with!!!

    Planning a 2020 wedding was definitely a challenge but working with New Chapters was a breath of fresh air! They were so accommodating and went out of their way to make things easier for us. When we had to make changes to our plans, they were flexible and accommodating. Sten and Yoko are so kind and unbelievably talented. Will definitely use them again for photos in the future and would HIGHLY recommend New Chapter for any wedding or event!

    One of our Best Wedding Decisions!

    Priscilla and Yoko were the dream team photographers for our wedding! I'm so thankful for them! They were creative, calm, and kept us on track. They even pinned a part of my dress in place during the reception, which saved the day :). They were fabulous!!!

    Jen was the photographer for both our engagement and wedding photos. Working with her was so easy and effortless. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and directed us how to pose. She was also really sweet and easy to get a long with and talk to. Behind the scenes working and communicating with Jeff was amazing. He is also easy to work with and very accommodating. Both Jeff and Jen took away some of the stress that comes along with wedding planning. Not to mention our pictures turned out amazing!!!!!! I would highly recommend using them!!

    To anyone out there in the Harrisburg area, you MUST contact Jeff. I literally cannot find the words to describe how thankful, amazed, blown away, pleased, etc, etc, I am with Jeff. It's obvious to say his photos are phenomenal but he also made my husband comfortable in front of the camera. Jeff would guide us with how he wanted the picture but he wouldn't position us so we could be ourselves and do what is natural for us. It misted during our engagement shoot and I wanted to proceed with the shoot and Jeff still blew me away with our photos. Fast forward to the wedding photos and I am literally struggling to find which photo(s) I want to use around the house. Hands down, getting a good photographer is the most important investment and if you want the BEST, call Jeff Benzon.

    New Chapters Photography is a preferred vendor at the venue where my now husband and I were married. We met with several photographers before deciding to work with Sten at New Chapters Photography: we felt like we could really trust him and we loved the samples of his work that we had seen. Sten drove to DC for our sunrise engagement shoot – he cued us in ways that made us laugh very naturally and just feel at ease, and it really showed in our pictures. At our wedding, he was able to timely coordinate group photos with ~40 people between our immediate family and bridal party, and still have plenty of time for a session with just my husband and myself. We received our engagement pictures and wedding pictures timely and we’re in love with all of them! We also rented a photo booth from New Chapters Photography and our guests LOVED it: between the live photographer, the fun props, and the black and white 4x6 prints guests received immediately, it was a huge hit - and we love having digital copies of all the fun pictures everyone took!

    We cannot say enough great things about Sten! He was extremely easy to work with, made us feel comfortable throughout the entire process, (as my husband does not enjoy getting his picture taken and had no problem with Sten taking our engagement pictures for over an hour), and worked around our schedules to coordinate the engagement shoot since we lived out of state. He has an eye for special moments and his final products become iconic snapshots of memories. He is extremely talented in his editing, likes to experience with fun and different lighting, and a joy to be around. Along with Sten, Priscilla was also a delight to work with—they were both professional, organized, and overall great people. You will not regret booking them as your wedding photographers! We are so grateful we did and cannot wait to use their services for future life events!

    Hands down, Jeff has to be the most amazing vendor I have ever encountered. His work ethics, professionalism and sense of humor were outstanding and played a major role throughout the wedding. Getting the perfect shot was also very important to him. I watched him go through some pretty intense lengths to get the perfect shot. Again, amazing describes Jeff perfectly. Thank you so much Jeff!

    I have nothing bad to say about New Chapters. Sten was fantastic to deal with. The photographers, Priscilla and Yoko, were so good and generally fun to be around. Priscilla also did our engagement photos. The shoot with her was so much fun. And the pictures are all so good!!!! We are beyond happy with our experience with New Chapters.

    Jeff is the ABSOLUTE best!!! I soon as I looked through his blog and website the first time, I knew he was the only photographer I wanted for our big day! Jeff was so easy to work with, schedule calls with, and extremely responsive to emails. Our engagement shoot was seamless - he made us feel at ease and trekked around Baltimore City with us to capture all the spots we wanted. On our wedding day, Jeff met me and my girls at my parents' and his assistant spent the morning with my groom and the guys. The timeline for the day - with Jeff's help - was perfect and everything went exactly as planned. Jeff captured shots of every detail I spent months planning, and he obviously captured every special kiss, dance, and the most epic cake smash. My husband and I spent hours looking over each shot once we got them back and reminiscing over the best of days! We would recommend Jeff to anyone. He will give you pictures to truly treasure forever!!

    WOW! All I can say are fantastic things about Jeff and his team of photographers for my wedding photos. I chose Jeff and his team through a referral and I could not have been happier with the service, professionalism, advice and accommodations from everyone that I worked with. Jeff is a truly nice guy - he wants for each couple to get exactly what they want and gives advice when asked to make it better. He responded quickly through emails and worked late to take after work phone calls. I chose to work with Yoko, a member of Jeff's photographer team, for both our engagement and wedding photos. She is awesome! She let my fiancé and I get comfortable in front of the camera and also allowed us to pick some poses and settings that worked for us. During my wedding, she showed up early with her 2nd photographer, Sam, to "case" the reception area and I am pretty sure both stayed later then expected to get some nighttime shots. Sam was in charge of photos of the groom and groomsmen and my husband was VERY happy with how he worked with them. We are so looking forward to seeing our wedding photos! Thank you Jeff, Yoko and Sam!

    Sten and Priscilla are so fun to work with!

    Getting in touch with them was always easy, even when Sten was on vacation he always responded to us.
    Everything from a photo survey to payment is all done online (he sends you the links through email).
    You can add extra hours of service (we started with 8 but then added more to have them for 12 hours.)
    They take about 5,000 pictures on your wedding day. From classic getting ready shots for the bride and groom to all the formal family and wedding party poses. We also had them stay to capture our reception!
    We got all of our pics done before our ceremony and it made the day so much better! They keep things moving and we were actually ahead of schedule.
    They both are hilarious, easy going, and just fun to hang out with. But they also know their stuff about photography so that's cool too!

    Many of my close friends and family commented that I was a very calm bride, but how couldn't I be with such an amazing, friendly, energetic, goofy, and talented photography crew? Jeff and Yoko were quick and radiated positive energy all day long (even for a hot July day)! Jeff was so fun and made us feel relaxed at our engagement photo shoot. We love and will forever cherish our wedding photos. Our family and friends were blown away by their talent and creativity! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

    We can't say enough great things about Jeff! He is so awesome to work with- stayed in touch with us and answered any questions we had. Our engagement shoot was so fun and he shot the most incredible pictures! He made the day of the wedding go so smoothly and was just an awesome photographer. So professional and easy to work with! Would recommend him in a heart beat!!

    Jeff and his team were AWESOME! We had a fantastic experience with them, and they were accountable and thorough throughout the wedding process! Yoko and Priscilla were fantastic to work with on our wedding day, and Jeff did an amazing job editing all our pictures. I knew Yoko and Priscilla had high standards for their work, and tirelessly photographed our special day for the best shots! We are so grateful!

    When I was initially searching for a photographer, I did the standard research comparing websites. All the photos looked pretty, professional, formal, but Jeff's photos consistently had an extra edge to them. A little more character and emotion, personal, better lighting, taking seemingly mundane wedding photos up to quality professional work. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Jeff is incredibly talented and wonderful to work with!! Not only is he fun, cool, and awesome - Jeff is professional and you can trust that he will deliver the most beautiful pictures of your wedding day. We truly have pictures that capture the people we love the most, and are also beautiful pieces of art. I am so excited to display the photographs everywhere in our home. We will cherish these forever. The pictures we have shared so far with family and friends have gotten SO many compliments and people have told us how they have never seen pictures like this! Everyone is asking us to see more and they would love copies. In addition to the photographs, Jeff was proactive with scheduling his own details of our wedding day, and even gave me other wedding planning tips. We felt comfortable taking pictures with Jeff and were very relaxed. My husband is super self conscious about his smile, but Jeff knew how to help us relax and capture great shots. I highly recommend Jeff to all recently engaged couples!!! Thank you, Jeff for sharing your talents with us!

    Jeff was absolutely amazing to work with. I bothered him day and night with silly questions and how to do the "desired" pictures for the wedding day. Himself and his team helped organize everything and made the planning process go so smoothly. I chose to have Yoko as my main photographer for the wedding day and her work was phenomenal. The pictures are exactly what we imagined and a beautiful memento from the best day. I would choose to work with them over and over again!

    We were absolutely thrilled with the service that we received from Jeff Benzon Photography. Yoko was our photographer, and she and Jeff were both pleasures to work with. They were extremely responsive to our needs, provided manageable timelines for getting the pictures done (and met them!), and Yoko shot both our engagement and wedding shoot extremely well. So, so happy we selected Jeff and Yoko, and the price point was extremely competitive. We will treasure the pictures that Yoko took forever.
