Deanna Sent on 06/26/2020Incredible & stress free
I can't say enough good things about Ralph and his team. My fiancé and I just recently took our engagement photos for our save the dates, and the entire shoot was so much fun and relaxed. Ralph kept the whole session stress-free. We took our engagement pictures during 'golden hour' at Verona Park, NJ and got 35 preview pictures by 8am the next morning. Not only did we get ALL of our pictures back less than 24 hours later, his team also surprised me with an engagement video from the shoot that I was totally not expecting. Ralph and his crew captured our love in the absolute best way possible. We are SO happy with outcome and just cannot wait to see the magic that he creates from our wedding day. He cares about his work and his clients, and he cares deeply about making sure he's capturing the genuine moments. Also...like most men...my fiancé was not totally thrilled about the idea of taking a million pictures in the park when it was 90 degrees outside, when we finished the shoot, he was SUPER excited to see the results and had such a great time. Best decision I've made regarding my wedding so far. -

RDP was the absolute best choice for our wedding photographer & videographer! Ralph & his team were fantastic to work with and made the day so much more enjoyable! The pictures were stunning and they were worked with us throughout the day to make sure we were getting everything we wanted out of it. It was the best - highly recommended! -

Jason Sent on 03/14/2026The BEST Photography Group
Ralph DePiro Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding. Ralph was incredibly knowledgeable about the best photo spots at Nanina’s in the Park and brought such a calm, relaxing presence to the day. His team, Val, Avery, and Ed, did a fantastic job coordinating everything to capture the best shots. It was also freezing on our wedding day, and they were absolute troopers the entire time. We loved that Ralph includes a complimentary engagement shoot, and we chose the Content Creator option with Avery instead of videography, which was a great decision. She captured incredible clips throughout the night. We also received our wedding photos within just two weeks, which was amazing. Highly recommend Ralph and his team! -

Jackie Sent on 01/09/2026It Rained on Our Wedding Day.... But They Rocked It!
I'll start with this - it rained on our wedding day. Every girls nightmare who is hosting an outdoor wedding! Why does this matter when writing a recommendation for Ralph D.'s Photo crew? Keep reading....
When it started raining on our wedding day, Ralph and his team were truly a calming presence. As a bride, it’s so easy to feel stressed when things don’t go as planned, but their team helped keep me calm, grounded, and confident that everything would still turn out beautifully.
Our ceremony plans completely changed because of the weather, we were supposed to be married in a beautifully aesthetic wildflower field (which was the main reason we fell in love with our venue), and the rain turned everything upside down. Without hesitation, Ralph and his crew rolled with it and made it work, wearing what should have been nothing short of super hero capes if you ask me! Somehow, they still created the most beautiful portraits and moments, even with all the unexpected changes.
I’ve known Ralph since I was about 8 years old, but choosing him had nothing to do with our friendship history although it is a full circle moment. I’m a creative in my career myself and was very particular when choosing our photographer/videographer. Ralph was the obvious choice, not only due to the fact that they did a fabulous job with our engagement, but also because his work truly speaks for itself. Beyond the talent, what meant the most to me was how much he and his team genuinely cared!
Your wedding vendors see hundreds of weddings, and sometimes you can feel like just another client, but that was never the case with Ralph’s team. They made the day feel lighter, more fun, and more personal. Looking back, I’m so grateful we had them there with us to literally calm the storm... and make sure we didn't stop until we got the shots they wanted! So in closing, don't just choose the wedding vendors that will do the work you expect, choose the teams that you believe will go through the mud with you, because Ralph and his team literally did with us! I couldn’t recommend them more.👏 -

Lauren Sent on 01/07/2026Absolutely phenomenal would recommend to everyone
I cannot express how much we loved working with Ralph DePiro Photography as a whole. Starting with the engagement photos Ralph immediately broke the ice making it easier to pose for photos ( I am very awkward and am terrible at being the center of attention) he gave easy to follow suggestions so I could stop looking so funny. The wedding day was a blast the entire crew felt like friends we have known for years and made every part of the wedding day so much better ! My entire wedding party loved them they were beyond perfect. Ralph responds quickly and doesn’t make you feel bad if you have a lot of questions. They’re phenomenal at what they do and are professional and knowledgeable and still able to joke around and make the experience stress free ! I cannot recommend them enough ! -

I highly recommend Ralph and the entire RDP team and you need to book them for photo and video before you read the rest of this review (they're busy!!!). I found Ralph on Instagram even before I was engaged and saved him for when it was time for me to plan my wedding. I absolutely loved his style and how much fun every wedding that he captured looked. He was the first vendor I reached out to and from the beginning impressed me with how responsive he was.
Ralph was hands down my favorite vendor to work with throughout wedding planning and on the wedding day. He set the day up for success with a flawless timeline and kept things moving in a stress-free way. Ralph and his entire team were awesome and so fun to work with. They all caught our vibe and matched our energy, and made getting your photo taken actually enjoyable.
Ralph was upfront and honest about gallery turnaround time especially during busy season. The photos were worth the wait and truly speak for themselves! We are obsessed with our gallery and are having such a hard time to pick which pictures to include in our albums and put on our canvases.
Thank you again Ralph, you and your incredible work are beyond appreciated! -

I cannot say enough good things about Ralph and his team! My husband and I recently got married in September of 2025 and had the pleasure of working with RDP for our photos and video. We met Ralph in 2023 when he shot our brother in-laws wedding and knew from that moment he had to be apart of our big day. From our engagement shoot with Ralph to our wedding day, the RDP team made us feel so comfortable in front of the cameras and even made it such a fun experience! Taking pictures for hours and hours can be a lot but the Ralph and everyone on his team makes it seamless and entertaining for everyone. We wanted to be able to show our
same-day edit" video at our wedding so the Head of video, Marty, sat in our bridal suite the entire night editing and the end result left us speechless. Our package also included a content creator, Avery, and she was everything promised and more! Every video and photo she took was sent to me the day after the wedding which was so nice to have in the meantime while waiting for all of our other photos to be done. Avery also created reels for me of all the compiled footage. If I haven't made it clear enough, Ralph and his team are the best photo/ video combo and I couldn't imagine what my wedding day would be without them! -

My husband and I couldn't be happier with our experience from Ralph and his team. From start to finish, they brought such a calm and professional energy to our wedding day. They captured every moment beautifully — from the big highlights to the small, meaningful details — and helped everything run smoothly behind the scenes. They made us feel completely at ease throughout the whole day. We truly recommend him to everyone looking for someone reliable, talented, and easy to work with. You will not regret using them for your wedding!!! -

We cannot recommend Ralph enough. If we had to start the planning process from scratch, we would pick Ralph again and again. We met him via Zoom before booking and we instantly clicked with him. It felt like we were talking to an old friend and he just made us feel at ease. Having our engagement shoot with him as part of our package was a great way to get to know him more and we're so glad we did. He was super communicative with us during that process as well as the months leading up to the wedding and even hopped on a call with us to finalize all the small details before the big day. Come wedding day, things fell right into place and Ralph and his entire team were a dream to work with. They felt like an extension of the wedding party and made the whole day flow seamlessly. We really cannot say enough great things about Ralph. Don't hesitate, HIRE HIM!!! -

Ralph was such a breeze to work with for our wedding at Valley Regency in Clifton! His communication leading up to our wedding day was phenomenal. We had a team of two shooters and one content creator, and these team members were fun, attentive and took amazing content. Ralph's editing came out amazing, and his photos delivered in a timely fashion. I would recommend Ralph DePiro Photography to anyone! -

Best of the best
We first met Ralph over Zoom and he was transparent with pricing, showed us a whole album of his to share what to expect if we were to book with him & was easy to talk with. We booked him about two years in advance & couldn’t be happier that we did. When finding him online his editing style really caught our eye and the way he was able to capture moments of not only the bride and groom at weddings made us intrigued. When we got our previews, then wedding gallery I fully sobbed because of the way he was able to capture moments I didn’t even know were happening. Him and his team also were so fun, kind, and kept us laughing throughout the day. Our guests at the wedding were even complimenting him and his team without seeing the photos. Best in the business! -

Alyssa P. June/2025
We got married in June 2025 and Ralph and his team were absolutely incredible to work with. The pictures themselves came out beautiful and we couldn’t be happier with the final products. When sharing the pictures with friends and family we were complimented on how great the reception pictures were and how they felt like they didn’t even notice the cameras capturing these great shots- which we loved!!
The way that they seamlessly worked together to keep the flow of the day going was impressive. The day overall was a ton of fun, and Ralph and his team added to that. They made us feel comfortable and captured such special memories.
We also loved Avery, the content creator. Having pictures and videos days later to look back on and relive those moments, was exactly what we needed. I couldn’t recommend Ralph and his team enough! -

Brianna Sent on 07/16/2025Exceeded Expectations
Finding a photographer was the hardest part of wedding planning. I couldn’t find a team that matched our style and felt like people we could genuinely vibe with. Then I stumbled across Ralph’s page — and my husband and I instantly fell in love with his work. After our first Zoom meeting, we knew without a doubt that we’d be in the best hands.
Our package included an engagement session, which turned out to be such a fun and relaxed experience. We got sneak peeks within 24 hours, and when the full gallery arrived, each photo was somehow even better than the last.
But Ralph is so much more than a talented photographer — he was truly the MVP of our wedding day. He created a detailed timeline and ran the entire day so seamlessly that we were actually ahead of schedule — even with our very long list of family photos (sorry, Ralph!). He kept everything moving while still allowing us time to actually enjoy ourselves, be present, and soak in the day. At one point, we even made a pit stop at 7/11 between the ceremony and reception — because of course we had to on 7/11 — and Ralph turned it into one of our favorite, funniest photo moments of the whole day.
As a Type A bride, communication was huge for me — and Ralph absolutely delivered. He was incredibly responsive, organized, and always one step ahead. I never once had to worry about anything photography-related because I trusted him completely, which is saying a lot!
His entire team — Nicolette as our second shooter, and Dylan and Christo on video — were equally amazing. They brought so much energy, creativity, and professionalism. We genuinely had the best time with them — laughing, joking, and trying out different poses and angles. Our bridal party and family kept complimenting how professional, efficient, and fun the team was. They couldn’t believe how fast and smoothly everything went, especially the family photos.
We are beyond grateful to Ralph and his team. Not only did they capture the most beautiful memories, they made the entire day better just by being a part of it. -

Lauren Sent on 06/25/2025The Day of My Dreams
Working with Ralph and his team was truly one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From our very first conversation, Ralph made us feel at ease with his professionalism, creativity, and calm presence. His team is incredibly talented—not only behind the camera but also in the way they handled the day with such care and attention to detail. I had seen their work before at other weddings for friends and family, and I knew I was in great hands, but they still managed to exceed all expectations.
Ralph didn’t just show up to take photos—he helped guide the entire flow of the day, making sure everything stayed on track while keeping the energy fun and relaxed. I completely trusted him to run the show, and it allowed me to be present in every moment, knowing that everything was being beautifully captured.
One of the best last-minute decisions I made was booking Ralph’s content creator. I almost didn’t do it, but I’m SO glad I did. Having someone there to capture real-time, behind-the-scenes footage was a game changer. It gave us a completely different perspective on the day—raw, emotional, and full of joy. Those clips were some of the first things we got to relive after the wedding, and I can't even explain how much they mean to us.
Ralph and his team are not only gifted at what they do, but they’re also just genuinely kind, hard-working people. They made our day even more special, and I’m so grateful we chose them. If you’re thinking about hiring them—do it. You’ll be so glad you did.

Nicole Sent on 06/23/2025May 2025 wedding
Ralph was the first vendor we booked (almost 2 years in advance) for our May 2025 wedding. His style is classic and timeless and we knew we wanted photos we could look back on years from now that would still be “in style”. Communication was always quick and responsive. We got married at Naninas where he is a preferred vendor and for good reason. Ralph and his team made the day flow seamlessly. They take the awkwardness away from posing for photography and are genuinely fun to be around. Ralph shared a few sneak peaks with us the week after the wedding but after getting our full album back we were completely blown away. Can’t wait to print our photos and display them around the house! 10/10 would recommend Ralph and his team! -

What can we say about Ralph and his amazing team of photographers, videographers, editors, and everything in between?! They are the most friendly, outgoing, charismatic, and professional group of people we have ever had the pleasure of working with! From the moment they arrived to the second they left, they made our night as special as we could have ever hoped for. Taking pictures away from your family and friends on your wedding day may sound stressful and time consuming, but not with Ralph and his crew. Everything with them felt so natural and fun that we didn’t want them to leave when their work was done! They truly put their blood, sweat, and tears into every photo they take and it shows in their efforts. Some photographers would take a photo and quickly move on to the next location. Ralph and his team, however, made sure that every shot they took was exactly what they wanted for themselves and for us. You can sense how much they care, not only about their work, but the couples they work with. We are forever grateful that we had them capture our special day. We owe a huge thank you to Ralph, Ed, Christo, Rocky, Steve, and Avery. Five stars is nowhere near what this crew deserves. Unfortunately, it was the highest this site will allow us to go… 10/5 stars for Ralph DePiro Photography!

If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, look no further. Ralph is the absolute best and his team was incredible. Our wedding day was chaos (for reasons outside of our control) and Ralph made the entire day feel like a breeze. From his professionalism, organization, attitude and truly incredible photography work, I couldnt have imagined my wedding day photographer be anyone else! Thank you Ralph from the bottom of our hearts!!!! -

Ralph and the RDP team were an 100/10. Our first initial zoom with Ralph was incredible. He was extremely detailed in explaining his pricing, how the day would work, and showed us sample albums. Although we couldn't have Ralph as our main shooter at our wedding, he was in constant communication with us throughout the entire process. We received a complimentary engagement shoot with Ralph, where he helped us pick a great location. He was easy to talk to, easy to work with, and had a very fast turn around time. During our final meeting with Ralph, he made us a timeline for the day of our wedding and shared our main shooter's contact info. Even on the day of our wedding, Ralph was in constant communication with us. Kadyr was our main shooter and I have nothing but AMAZING things to say. He called us about a week before our wedding to go over a timeline, suggest areas at the venue to shoot, and eased all of our worries. He was on time and made the day go by seamlessly. Kadyr and James always knew what to do. I want to thank Ralph, Kadyr, James, and the RDP team for being one of the best vendors. YOU WILL MISS OUT IF YOU DO NOT BOOK RDP! -

Jamie Sent on 12/05/2024The most amazing photographer and experience!!!
Ralph and his team are top notch. From our initial zoom with Ralph to receiving our gallery, the process was so smooth and Ralph was there literally every step of the way. When my (now) husband and I left our engagement shoot with Ralph we felt like we have known him for years because of how easy the conversation was flowing during the duration of our shoot and how personable he was during the session. Come wedding day, Ralph and his team showed up promptly with nothing but smiles and good vibes and the best energy. He walked into my bridal suite and boom my ears stared filling up with tears because I knew it was go time.
During the day, Ralph had everything down to a science and did not miss a SINGLE shot or opportunity to capture our special moments. He directed myself, my husband, our families and our big wedding party with patience and kindness. We had opted into Ralph’s gold package which included a Same Day Edit which we showcased during reception. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Our guests were all in tears after this 4-minute clip. It was so nice to have this clip shared with us the next morning because it gave us the chance relive our day and share it with any family and friends who were unable to attend our wedding. Marty did an insane job and we are SO happy we selected the gold package. When we received our gallery from Ralph, my husband and I sat on our couch for hours in awe of him and his team’s work. We laughed, we cried and we felt every moment was captured so perfectly. Lastly, we added on content creation with Avery (a last-minute decision but a GREAT decision). She was by Ralph’s side all day and night and created a handful of perfectly crafted reels which was another opportunity for us to relive our day prior to receiving our gallery.
Long story short, book Ralph and his team and if you’re on the fence about content creation or The Same Day edit, do it!!!! This is without having received our other videos from our package but we know those will be perfection because that’s what Ralph creates! Our guests have raved about Ralph and his team’s work and are still talking about our same day edit (7 weeks later) and so many guests have complimented Avery’s work with her content creation. We are so blessed that we found Ralph and cannot recommend him enough. Him and his team are kind, professional, FUN, energetic and a master at their crafts. Thank you, Ralph DePiro and team, for being a huge part in making our fairy tale wedding come to life and giving us the opportunity to relive it time and time again!

Megan Sent on 10/21/2024Best Photographer/Videographer Around!!
One of the best decisions my husband and I made for our wedding day was hiring Ralph DePiro and his team! From the start, Ralph exceeded all of our expectations and flew out of state to capture our engagement photos. Not only was he understanding and professional, but the most fun and personable photographer to work with! After our engagement shoot we couldn't wait for our wedding day to hang with Ralph again and the rest of his team! Our wedding day went off without a hitch, huge thanks to Ralph for helping create our timeline during our initial meeting and keeping things running smoothly on the day of. It truly felt like having a good friend behind the camera and made my husband and I feel so relaxed amongst the chaos. We can't wait to call Ralph and his team to capture more milestones! If you're looking for the best photographer around, look no farther!! -

Dominique Sent on 09/30/2024Treats each couple/wedding as unique, Caring, Dependable, Responsive, Fun
I found Ralph through a friend who hired Ralph for her wedding and told me it was the best decision she made during wedding planning; choosing Ralph was also the best decision I made. From our initial screener meeting with Ralph, we were moved by the fact that he seemed to take an interest in getting to know us as a couple. Although he clearly had a process of his own which made us feel comfortable, he also made it a point to get to know what we were looking for in our photos and on our wedding day.
For our engagement shoot, we told Ralph we were living in Chicago during our engagement and hoped to take photos at our favorite spots there. Ralph flew out to Chicago, traveled to all our favorite spots to capture our photos, and came out for deep dish pizza with us afterward. In addition to being fun, this time was so valuable, because we were then more comfortable working with him on our wedding day.
Leading up to the wedding, Ralph communicated with me on multiple occasions to make sure that our timeline allowed for all of the photos we wanted. This was particularly important because we did not have a day-of coordinator. I ended up changing my ceremony time based upon his advice and couldn’t be more glad I did. This was just one example of many of Ralph going above-and-beyond taking photos as a photographer.
On the day of the wedding, Ralph and his photo and video team came a few minutes early. Throughout the entire day, they were highly professional, fun, and kind to myself, my husband, and our family and friends. Although Ralph had his own system for taking wedding photos, he made sure to capture our priorities before anything else. For example, we have a unique family dynamic, and Ralph made sure to capture all of the family portrait variations we asked. Having seen the sneak peeks from the day, we couldn’t be happier!
A final note–like many other couples, we spent more time on our wedding day with our photographer team than we spent with most of our guests. Hiring someone as caring and enjoyable as Ralph made the day so much better! Couldn’t recommend him and his team for photo/video more highly.

The best of the best
My husband and I booked our wedding venue in 2022 & I reached out to Ralph via website on our drive home. I can’t say enough good things about Ralph DePiro Photography. As all brides know, the process of planning a wedding can become extremely stressful. Communicating with Ralph actually felt like a weight lifted off my shoulders as he had everything handled and organized.
I knew Ralph’s work was great and I needed to book with him ASAP based on previous experiences through out the years of being bridesmaid butttttt.. my pictures came out absolutely amazing. Ralph was able to capture our day minute by minute and let us relive our day over and over through pictures.
Ralph’s work speaks for itself. If you’re looking for someone to capture your special day perfectly, look no further. -

Natalia Sent on 06/18/2024The best choice we made!
We celebrate our wedding on May 4th, 2024. We did not have a ceremony, just a reception. Ralph was one of the best choices we made for the wedding. We felt the confidence, expertise, and warmth since the first call. Photography was very important to us, and Ralph and James nailed it.
Ralph was very communicative and always answered our questions. If you have ideas or something that is a must-capture to you, just talk to him. Another plus is that we didn’t know much about posing, but they were great at giving us some directions. The pictures are high quality, and there are no low-light images, even in the ballroom!!! (This was important to us).
He’s organized, and his process works smoothly. I was not worried at all about when I would get our galleries, either from the engagement session or the wedding.
They didn’t just capture moments, but they recorded memories that we’ll have for a lifetime! I would work with him again with my eyes closed. I recommend 1000% -

It was evident from the moment we hired Ralph and his team for our wedding that we made the right choice. Despite having a large bridal party (and family), the photographers handled everything professionally. Not to mention, we received our photos on 6/11 (we were married on 5/10). Ralph and team, thank you so much for being kind and hardworking on our special day. We truly appreciate it.

Samantha Sent on 06/06/2024Truly One of a Kind Wedding Photographer
There truly aren’t enough words to describe how amazing our experience with Ralph was! From the time we booked him back in 2022 to the engagement shoot to our wedding in 2024, he made the wedding planning process not only easy and fun but with possibly one of the most flawless turn around times I have seen in this industry, even when we had to reschedule our entire wedding to a different date! Aside from all of that, Ralph and his team truly delivered the most gorgeous photos we could have ever dreamed of that we will cherish forever. He brings your wedding day to life in photos and videos for years to come. Wedding days go by so fast, in the blink of an eye and we are able to relive our special day through these photos, especially certain times during the day we may not remember or have experienced in the moment! There is something special about the talent and dedication that goes into being a wedding photographer, Ralph and his team are truly one of a kind! -

From the first video call, it was clear that Ralph was such a genuine, easy-going, fun and funny yet extremely professional guy. Whether it was our engagement shoot or our wedding day, he and his team made us feel extremely comfortable while also giving clear directions (he's a dip expert!) that it felt easy and effortless to get the best shots. And wow, does he get the best shots!! We received our wedding album only a couple of weeks after our wedding and all we can say is wow! Our day was captured perfectly and we get to relive the best day of our lives every time we look at the album! I can't speak highly enough of Ralph, both professionally and personally, and you will truly be grateful to have found him! With much love to Ralph - The Lettieris! -

Where do we start with Ralph?! As soon as we met Ralph we instantly connected. Ralph is so down to earth, kind, has such an eye for detail and creativity and is a true expert in his field. Ralph did our engagement shoot and my now husband and I were filled with so much joy to see the raw emotion and love between us that Ralph was able to capture. Throughout the shoot, it truly felt like we knew Ralph for years! My husband and I had our dream wedding on 10/12/23 and we were so happy to have Ralph photograph and video our special day. Ralph and his team are absolutely amazing! They knew our venue inside and out and knew exactly what to do in all aspects including our poses, timeline and keeping the energy high and fun! I can honestly say that we all had an amazing time! Once we got our gallery back (very timely, might I add!) we were so overjoyed. Ralph and his team captured our special day perfectly! All of our images were so beautiful, dreamy and filled with so much love and life! We are so thankful and grateful for Ralph and his team! We feel that Ralph will always be a part of our lives! We thank you with our whole hearts! xo, Mr. & Mrs. Davis -

Laura Sent on 11/11/2023Book with RDP!
Finding a photographer was the first vendor on our to do list and after lots of searching we were so happy to find Ralph! We were already impressed with his work and then we had our zoom call and knew we wanted to work with him. We had so much fun on our engagement shoot and the photos came out amazing so we knew the wedding was going to be a great day. Communication was smooth leading up to the wedding. Everything was perfect on wedding day - we got beautiful shots on the beach and boardwalk and then more at our venue. Ralph had never shot at our venue before but you would never know it, we got so many cool photos all around the venue! We even impromptu decided to take some pictures playing cornhole and those ended up being some of our favorite pictures. Aside from the classic portraits and family photos, it was also important to us to get those candid shots of our friends and family at the reception and we loved seeing all the dance floor photos. We got our photos back quickly (about a month after our wedding) and they came out INCREDIBLE! We loved living the entire day over. Working with Ralph was the best decision and would 100% recommend booking RDP for your wedding!! -

Gina Sent on 03/12/2023Favorite Vendor
Where do I even begin? There are so many great things to say about RDP. Prior to meeting Ralph, I knew I loved his work because of how timeless his photos are. Immediately after meeting him (via Zoom), Chris and I knew we were going to be moving forward with him. He was easy to talk to, thorough in all his explanations, and just a great guy. On the day of the wedding, he and his team exceeded our expectations. It rained all day on our wedding, but Ralph and his team stayed calm, which honestly kept me calm. He reassured me that we would still get all the shots needed, and he was right. The attention to detail and organization Ralph has made our day go smoothly. Not to mention, we received our full wedding gallery back in just a month! He was truly one of our favorite vendors and was such a joy to work with. Throughout the two year planning process, Ralph has become a friend to both my husband and I. We can’t thank Ralph and his team enough for capturing our wedding day so beautifully, and for creating memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend RDP! -

From the minute we met Ralph back in 2020 over Zoom we immediately connected and knew he would be perfect for capturing this moment in our lives. We were nervous about our engagement shoot but we were comfortable with Ralph right from the beginning, had so much fun, and received the most beautiful photos from it! When we hired Ralph, we knew he would be the main shooter the day of the wedding and that he would bring others on his team, but we had no idea how blown away we would be by his entire team. From the second they walked into the venue the day of the wedding up until the very last photo, his team captured EVERYTHING and made sure that they got all the photos they needed and the ones we wanted. They made the entire formal wedding portraits session so fun the time literally blew by! Amanda, Neil, and Marty are all truly one of a kind and the chemistry between them and Ralph is so apparent and made for so many incredible photo/video opportunities! We trusted Ralph and his team throughout the process and we are so glad that we did since they did an unreal job and we will be forever thankful to all of them for capturing our day! -

We instantly planned to have Ralph shoot our day after we booked at Valley Regency. Ralph and his team were absolutely phenomenal on our day. He knew exactly what I wanted and gave it 120%. We received all of our photos quickly as well. Three of my girlfriends loved his work so much that he will be shooting their wedding also. Ralph is also very quick to respond to any emails you send him. He has a great personality. When you have a big family like we do he makes sure everyone is there to get family photos. Ralph also made a great time sheet for everything and when things needed to happen. Our day went so smoothly all thanks to him and his team. -

Ralph was truly one of our favorite vendors. We met with him via zoom and instantly hit it off. We searched high and low for the right photographer and were so happy once we found Ralph. He was always quick to respond and had such a great attitude. We did our engagement session and were blown away with his work. I didn't know it would be possible to top that but when we received our wedding gallery we were even more impressed. He did such a phenomenal job and truly captured our day perfectly. He brought such a great vibe to our day and really helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos and Ralph in general. We also couldn't believe how quickly we received our photos back.
His skill and professionalism are unmatched!

Hire Ralph ASAP!!!
We had the most amazing experience with Ralph DePiro Photography. From the first meeting with Ralph, he was extremely personable. He made us feel so comfortable and heard in what we wanted for our big day. We knew we wanted to hire him 2 hours after speaking with him.
Once the planning process started, I must’ve emailed Ralph 10x leading up to our wedding day and he was so timely in his responses and always offered to hop on a call to chat through my questions, no matter how busy he was.
On our wedding day, we had very bad rain all day. Ralph and his team stayed completely calm and composed and kept the day flowing. He changed the order of the day around in a way that made sense and continued checking it with us to make sure we were good with his decisions. We were so grateful for his recommendations and professionalism in a time where we could’ve been extremely stressed.
Overall, him and his team were SO fun and had us laughing all day. I absolutely loved the shots Ralph captured and cannot wait for our video in a few months. Highly, highly recommend Ralph if you’re getting married soon!!!!! -

We could not have been happier with Ralph!
From our very first meeting with Ralph, we knew that he was the right photographer to capture our wedding day. His professional yet friendly demeanor, in addition to his impressive portfolio, sold us right away. We are now over one month out from our wedding day and we could not have been happier with our choice. Ralph and his team not only captured the most beautiful pictures that will allow us to relive our special day for years to come, but also they made the day that much more fun. Their excitement about the content they were getting throughout the day oozed into all of us, and for good reason - the pictures are breathtaking. Ralph checked in with us throughout the day to make sure we were getting all the shots we wanted and made sure not to leave until they’d covered all the bases.
Ultimately we wanted a photographer who would capture the emotions of the day without making all the picture taking feel excessive or onerous. Ralph and his team did just that. What more could we ask for?
We cannot express in words how amazing Ralph and his team were to work with and we will forever cherish the photos from our perfect wedding day. -

A seamless, stressless & wonderful experience
My husband and I recently got married at the beautiful venue in Franklin Lakes, NJ, called Indian Trail Club. Ralph and his team were chosen to capture our special day and I can’t even begin to explain how happy my husband I are with how everything went. From the beginning of the wedding planning process Ralph was very responsive, professional, friendly and exuded a passion for his craft. His work is incredible and we would recommend him and his team to whoever wants a seamless process in the photo/video portion of their wedding. Our friends and family can’t stop raving about how great the photos turned out. Thank you again to Ralph and his team! -

We are so happy that we decided on Ralph DePiro Photography! Ralph photographed our engagement session (Asbury Park NJ Boardwalk), our small pandemic church ceremony in 2021 (West Milford, NJ), and our vow renewal/reception in 2022 (Art Factory, Paterson NJ). While the bridal party was getting ready in the morning, Ralph was scoping out the venue for the best areas to shoot at. He found spaces in my venue that I didn't even know existed! We took first look, bridal party, and family photos before the ceremony so that everyone could enjoy the cocktail hour - I highly recommend. Ralph has a very can-do attitude and is great to work with. Our photos are amazing & our family is so impressed with them. We have absolutely no regrets! -

Ralph brings the ultimate Photo/Video Experience!!
I met Ralph about 10 years ago covering a game for the same sports photography company as him. We got to talking and I followed him on social media. Over the years, I’ve watched his work get more impressive by the day. When it was finally time to look for a photographer for my wedding, there was only one choice!
We actually had 2 weddings thanks to covid, and we had the pleasure of Ralph shooting both along with our engagement photos. Ralph makes everything so easy and stress free. I was nervous about the engagement photos since I’m usually on the other side of the camera, but Ralph made everything so simple, and we had so much fun with it.
Ralph is incredibly easy to get in contact with and made the months leading up to both weddings a breeze. He communicated their whole plan with us so there were no surprises on the big day. Ralph keeps a tight schedule for the day which helps move everything along and ensures he doesn’t miss anything and ensures the bride and groom don’t miss anything on their end.
Ralph offers video packages as well, so it was bonus being able to book the photo and video through one person. The photographers and videographers have worked together many times too, so everyone was on the same page which helps everything flow. There are many things to worry about on the wedding day, but I knew photo and video wasn’t going to be one of them.
On our wedding day, Ralph’s team froze their butts off with us in a windy park to get all the perfect shots. They got a lot of shots we didn’t even think of!
The photos were so good that my wife’s sister will now be using Ralph. Ralph and his team are in a league of their own when it comes to the wedding photo/video experience!!

My husband and I got married on December 17, 2021. Ralph and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish.

His work is truly amazing and they are such a talented group. -

Phenomenal
Where to even begin! Ralph and his team were AMAZING! I cannot say enough positive things about them. My husband and I booked Ralph way back in 2018 for my 2020 wedding. He was quick and responsive. Ralph photographed our engagement photos that were an absolute DREAM! It was a great taster of what it would be like to work with him on our wedding day. When we had to postpone due to COVID he was incredible to work with. He was patient and understanding and easy to re-schedule. I couldn't appreciate that more especially during such a hard time. When our wedding day FINALLY arrived, Ralph was timely with his team and really great to work with. When our photos were completed I was in absolute shock at the gorgeous moments he captured for us. These are the photos that are worth a thousand words. These are the photos we will get to share with our loved ones and generations to come. Ralph did a phenomenal job of capturing our favorite day ever. -

Where do I even begin with this review!? Basically, just stop your search now because Ralph and his crew are all you need. From the moment my husband and I met Ralph, we felt like we'd known him forever! Ralph was so understanding and open-minded to all of your engagement and wedding ideas. He was very attentive to every detail and all of our pictures were back so fast! I still cry looking at them. He also has this superpower to flip the train of your dress flawlessly! If he allows, I will use him for all of my life events! -

Absolute favorite vendor!
The minute I saw their instagram page and the quality of their photos I wasted no time contacting them to book them for my wedding. Then, from the minute I met the crew I knew they would deliver nothing less than awesome. They are extremely personable and make you feel comfortable like you have known them for years. This was so important to me because being comfortable around the photographer/videographers on your wedding day is SO important! They were so very kind and easy to work with. I live on Long Island and they are based over an hour away from me in NJ. This did not worry me AT ALL because Ralph keeps in constant communication and is always so accommodating and quick to respond to any questions, suggestions or ideas. I cannot say enough good things about Ralph, his professionalism and most importantly his incredible eye for capturing incredibly special moments. The biggest thing I looked for in a photographer was that they wouldn't be like any other typical, staged, awkwardly and predictably posed photos. That was the initial and number one feature of their work that drew me in, was that it was the FURTHEST thing from that! Their photo visions are candid, capture real and raw moments. I can truly say they are capturing MEMORIES constantly throughout the time they are there. Their work is filled with a genuine feel which is exactly what I hoped for. When it came to family photos and rounding up the overwhelmingly large groups for photos, Ralph and his team were patient, kind, quick and efficient. You can tell that they really do care about their work and they really are passionate about what they do. Right before I walked down the aisle I did not realize I never even put my veil on. The videographer, Marty, that was with me was the one who reminded me about it and even put it in my hair and fixed it for me. I cannot tell you how happy I am with the experience that I had with every single individual that came to work that day. I recommend them a million times over and I so appreciate their work, dedication and again their passion for capturing MEMORIES and not just pictures. -

Best in the biz!
Before we were even engaged we knew that we wanted Ralph as our photographer. When the day finally came when we got engaged (9/29/18), I knew that we had to pick a venue quickly because we wanted to get married the following fall. The MINUTE we had a date (9/27/19) I was on the phone with Ralph seeing if he was available. And luckily for us he was! He was a perfect fit for us. We both work a lot of hours so we needed a photographer who was organized and on his game while at the same time keeping us calm and at peace that he had everything under control. I never once worried about the day not going as planned because I knew Ralph would be one step ahead at all times. When we found out we were getting married at Lake Mohawk Country Club, he said he had never shot a wedding there before. That didn’t make us nervous one bit. A few months before our wedding he drove there for the day and got a tour and scoped our the perfect spots for us to take pictures. That is the kind of dedication you want in a vendor for you wedding! If you want a photographer who is organized, dedicated, caring, passionate, goes above and beyond the norm, and just genuinely LOVES what he does, then look no further because Ralph DePiro Photography is who you want to make your wedding day dreams come true! -

Ralph came as a recommendation from our DJ, Mystical Entertainment. My fiancé and I knew exactly what we wanted and Ralph was incredible at making that happen. He and his assistant Tom were prompt at meeting us at our venue to do walkthroughs to find ideal places for pictures. If either of us had a question, our text message was answered immediately. Our wedding was the end of August and within 2 weeks we had our photos back and are thrilled with how they came out. -

The perfect pictures
I honestly don’t even know where to start. Thought my vendor process I was extremely picky and wanted to make sure every vendor was perfect. Picking Ralph DePiro photography was literally the easiest choice. Upon our first meeting, Ralph and Chris were extremely professional, but also very personable. They in no way attempted to push anything on me I did not want or did I feel like they were trying to change my vision. Instead they worked with me and made appropriate suggestions. All photos that I requested were taken and Ralph communicated well through the whole process. He was accessible and made sure everything was perfect leading up to the big day. My husband absolutely hates taking pictures, but Ralph and Chris were able to give us lots of guidance, and what I expected to be an awkward and uncomfortable experience turned into something I will never forget! I Was shocked and extremely excited when I received 140 pictures two days after the wedding. This allowed me to share with loved ones and others who couldn’t be there. The pictures came out absolutely stunning and I couldn’t have asked for anything more! Post-wedding, Ralph and Chris made me three canvas pictures which turned out JAW DROPPING! I legit couldn't have asked for anything better have recommended them to my loved ones. -

Amazing and awesome! For you further brides out there please know that the day of the wedding things will get, or at least feel, chaotic and our photographer did not add to this. In fact they were the most mellow part of our day! They showed up and they knew what to do and where to be. So aside from providing a much needed calm they also provided incredible photos. They captured our wedding so well that when we look back it REALLY brings us back to that day. So many beautiful pictures of such genuine happiness. Simply put Ralph and Chris killed it and I would hire them a million times over. -

Working with Ralph and his team was like a dream! From our first meeting we could tell that Ralph's energy was exactly what we needed on our special day. Although Ralph himself was not available for our wedding (high demand!) he sent his trusted team mates to take care of us. All the professionals we worked with on our wedding day did a great job of keeping us on schedule and distracted from the cold. I was worried most of the day we would lose daylight for the wedding party pictures, but the team made sure we got some pictures before the sun set, and during the sun set. Ralph did the editing for our photos and WOW! doesn't even begin to cover how we felt when we saw them online! He did a great job, and they were finished within a few weeks of our wedding! I would highly recommend Ralph and his team to any bride on the search for a photographer.
