    Book her now, do not wait!

    My fiance and I are still crying laughing from how much FUN we had during our Engagement session with Petronella!!!

    I KNEW even before I was dating my now-fiancé that I wanted her to capture the most important moments, but my fiancé is the kind of person to review all the options available first. So to show him how amazing Petronella is, she photographed our Engagement session before we even had a venue because I wanted her to be the first vendor we booked. And he was convinced from the moment she took the first picture. It made it even more concrete when we received our teasers. She captured our silliness, our nerdiness, and even managed to capture some serious shots without us even noticing! The session was so effortless and FUN, and the pictures are unparalleled - we LOVE Petronella!!! Do NOT wait - book her immediately!!!

    Oh, now that we finally have our venue booked, the choice for photographer, of course, is obvious :-). Do

    Perfection!

    Poise, professionalism, visionary! Just a few words to describe Petronella. She first shot our pre-wedding photo session in less than ideal weather but because of the visionary she is those photos were stunning and are some of favorites. She and her team then captured our 3 day wedding celebration and not one moment was missed by them. She takes her time to learn her clients and produce a product that reflects them. She is thoughtful and definitely makes her clients feel special with the added personal touch she places in each communication or package. We cannot wait to have her continue capturing our journey of love. Without hesitation she comes highly recommended!

    An Artist who captures Magic !

    If you are looking for an Artist who will capture you at your very best look no further! The time spent with the Petronella Photography team was beyond words magic! We had the pleasure of working with Petronella for our engagement shoot, and it was our first indication that our time with her was going to be epic! She stopped traffic TWICE for us to ensure the capture of the perfect image! My fiancé hates to smile, but Petronella cajoled some of the most beautiful smiles I have ever seen! She took the time to get to know us to craft amazing energy and moments that translated to visual joy. Her team was flawless on the wedding day, knew all our names and made us feel comfortable and beautiful. Please do not hesitate, to book immediately. I wish I had more words for why she is Magic !

    Personalized and respectful.

    Petronella Photography gave us a wonderful photo experience for our proposal. The best part about it was our photographer, Tiam, really allowed us to enjoy each and every intimate moment between our photos. He was personable and really showed that he cared to capture the full extent of the experience.

    Amazing photographer!

    Thank you for shooting our engagement photographs, and being a part of our special day.

    We loved the moments that you have captured and will cherish and look back at them fondly. We were so excited to see the photographs early and also the mini-site is so wonderful! It was truly a great experience being photographed by you. We apologize for the confusion with the photographers and appreciate you for handling the situation with such grace and flexibility.

    Thank you again and happy new year- we hope this year brings lots of joy and success!

    She has a gift

    Petronella has a gift for photography! Her vision is unparalleled. She specializes in multicultural affairs. She has an eclectic style which helps to get the very best photos. I hardly noticed her during the wedding but these photos and these angles are amazing. She’s truly the best!

    Petronella is just plain FABULOUS! She invested time in getting to know the details of our love story and helped us arrange a seamless First Look. She made us feel SO at ease and is incredibly helpful. We've just received our collection of photographs and I could not be more pleased with the images. She captured our wedding perfectly! The visual stories she creates are simply gorgeous. I could not recommend her highly enough!

    I didn't have an opportunity to work with Petronella because I was gifted another photographer. Our initial conversations was fantastic. She was responsive and personable. I was so excited to work with her because she wanted to have dinner and skype before any deposit was made! How great was that!? I definitely recommend her.

    My husband and I are of different backgrounds and really wanted our culture captured in our photos. We also wanted a photographer that was skilled enough not only to do staged photos but could capture our genuine love for each other and the fun of our wedding. Petronella far exceeded our expectations and provided us a great experience from our engagement shoot to after our wedding. We definitely intend to use her for all our photos throughout our life journey together. One of the best things about Petronella is she is always there for her clients. She is extremely quick to respond to any questions and also makes the whole planning process easy. She is very friendly and is interested in knowing her clients personality so that she can be the most personalized photographer I ever met. One other perk about Petronella is that she has photographed couples of all different complexions that she is very knowledgable about how to enhance lighting so that the photographs look very colorful and vivid no matter the subjects complexion which was a concern for my husband and I. Bravo Petronella and thank you for a great experience.

    And she was the greatest!!!!!!!! How can you say thank you? She made sure we got great shots, directed traffic, and even played my motivational song "Drunk in Love." It was like my own Fairy Godmother. She will exceed the role of a photographer! My groom and I Were so blessed to go on this journey with you. See you on the next project entitled "First Year Shots."

    Petronella was exceptional. She was professional, responsive and provided a quality experience and product. She was very helpful from styling for the couple to photo shoot directions and locations. She was very easy to work with for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. She was very accommodating and flexible as our wedding plans changed and the date and size of the wedding became completely different from what we initially agreed on. Petronella was very understanding and she quickly and professionally adjusted plans, price and availability to serve us. She brought heart and soul and determination into every thing she did for us. She was even a motivator to the bride during the tough moments on the wedding day.She worked magic to capture moments so beautifully that we would never forget. The photos are of extraordinary high quality and the process to edit and download them is easy and reasonable. Everybody loved the photos.
    Bottom line - she is the best photographer and is worth every dollar and more.

    Petronella is a talented Photographer and extremely professional. I was quite concerned that a lot of things could go wrong as I prepared to propose to my girlfriend in Times Square on a cold windy night in November. She was in touch with me well before hand and several times during the day leading up to the big moment. She did everything she said she would and made the proposal perfect. She also captured so many great photos which we will have to remember the fun moment for years to come.
    I would recommend her to anyone in need of a professional photographer!

    Wonderful experience!

    So, I got to see all my photos this afternoon.  It was pretty emotional.  For the first time in 8.5 years, I got to see Frank and myself the way that every one of my friends and family members do. 

    I got to see the love that is there when we look at each other. I got to see how much we obviously mean to each other. I am sitting here crying because I am overwhelmed, but in more than a good way."

    Petronella was definitely a pleasure to work with on our big day. Petronella is beautiful, creative, and artistic. She has been flexible with rescheduling our engagement photo session each time the weather was a disaster. Petronella has captured the natural beauty of our love through our photos. She is great to work with, and and my husband and I have already begun to refer her to our friends and family. Petronella, your the best.

    Our first contact with Petronella was one filled with excitement, literally giddiness. We were introduced to her by Nikki Miller of Mae B Films. Petronella's portfolio blew us away, she is very talented and passionate about her craft. Her passion came through on our wedding day when she literally ran throughout the property to capture us from pre ceremony, ceremony and reception. Her photos tell a beautiful story of our wedding and highlights the many incredible moments we experienced. We are grateful to have had her capture our special day.

    When my husband and I wanted a photographer to capture our unconditional love for our wedding weekend, we wanted someone/team that could understand our distinct heritage backgrounds, love of language, love of learning, and love of family and friends. As a first and second generation Latin American couple, we carry a strong bond with our native countries but have developed remarkable relationships in the U.S. with people from all over the world. We wanted a professional that could understand us-- our commitment to love, multi-cultural friendships, and more importantly, we wanted someone that could take the time to get to know us not as clients but as "familia". Petronella immediately made us feel comfortable and was able to talk to us like she had known us for years! What we most love about Petronella is her intellectual curiosity. When we discussed how we were going to integrate our faith and backgrounds into our wedding day, she made sure to ask a lot of detailed questions in order to understand how to better capture these moments. Before the grand day, she and her team communicated with us and always kept us in the loop. We always felt like we were her only clients because she always listened to us, gave us her undivided attention, and provided her professional advice. She is not only the utmost professional photographer, she is someone you do not want to let go after the celebration is over! Indubitably, we highly recommend Petronella Photography for any significant event in your life!

    Petronella took our photos during my proposal event with my girlfriend in NY on August 18th. From the first moment started capturing our photos, she showed her professionalism through the artistic shots she took and the angles she used in capturing the photos. After my proposal was over, she stayed with us for at least half an hour, capturing our photos from every angle possible. All throughout this event, she had a huge smile on her face and was very friendly, which helped us relax.
    I was very impressed when she shared the photos a week later with how professional she is. I would definitely recommend her to everyone considering her for their special day! :)

    I definitely think it's beneficial to any newly engaged couple to take engagement photos with Petronella Photography as well as wedding photos. It gave us a chance to get to know her better as well as took the edge off us on our wedding day. By the wedding day we both were comfortable in front of the camera. She is extremely patient especially with big families like mine. She kept us well informed from the minute we met her to up until receiving our wedding album. She established a payment plan that was convenient and affordable for us. At the end of the day you want a photographer who really takes the time out to get to know you. And that is exactly what Petronella Photography will do and as result we will forever have a special relationship with Petronella...she's family.

    We were delighted with Petronella's professional approach and blown away by the great images she produced. Beginning with our first talk with her, she grasped exactly what we wanted and when it came time to the event, she made sure we got all the shots we wanted without a lot of fuss or stress. Many of our favorite images were ones we did not even know we wanted. She took great images during the bar mitzvah ceremony (it was on a Monday) without intruding or getting in the way. Petronella was also very reasonable about finding a package that fit our limited budget. We would happily recommend her to anyone else.
