    Roey is an amazing photographer. I can safely say that there is no doubt in my mind that we made the right choice with having him photograph our wedding. His photography is absolutely stunning. When I sent around the online link, so many people told me how impressed they were with how gorgeous his photos are. As a close friend said to me afterwards, "You must be SO glad you hired him." And I am. He was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. He's very easygoing and talked with us about what we wanted, was very flexible. On the day of the wedding it felt like having another friend there. He seemed so relaxed and to enjoy his work so much, which made it easy to relax around him as a photographic subject. During the evening of the wedding he was not obtrusive but also knew when to gather people for fun group photos.

    Roey's work is truly excellent. He really stands out in terms of the high quality and professional--but fun--manner that he handles his work.

    Roey was such a pleasure to work with. He was so laid back and easy to be around. He made everyone feel completely comfortable being photographed. He managed to take the most amazing photos without us feeling his presence. Anyone who has seen photos of our wedding has said they are the best wedding photos they have ever seen. Justin and I totally agree. Photography is the one thing we have left over from our wedding day and we are so delighted that Roey captured it all. Most importantly he captured the mood and spirit of the day. He captured the raw emotion in the most unobtrusive manner. Put simply- Roey is truly a gifted photographer. It has been very difficult to choose which photos to print- there are just too many spectacular photos! We have recommended and will continue to recommend Roey to everyone we know.

    Roey did an unbelievably good job our wedding...we just got our photos back (the online gallery) and can't believe he captured so many "moments". Everyone looks beautiful, he did a great job shooting the details I worked so hard on, and was a pleasure in general. We couldn't be happier with his work, professionalism, etc.

    Roey and his assistant were great. Roey has a sensitive, romantic eye, but he also has an edge. Everyone says that my wedding pictures are amazing and my husband and I couldn't be happier with the beauty and uniqueness of them.

    We knew Roey was a talented artist from viewing his previous work. What we didn't know was how much fun he would be at our wedding! He completely won over our guests, and their enjoyment of him is clearly reflected in the photos. The smiles in all those beautiful images are genuine responses to his enthusiasm and charisma, and he lent an energy to the entire evening that was noticed and appreciated by everyone who attended. Countless people commented specifically on "that great photographer we found" both during and after the wedding. The posed portraits were as beautiful and perfectly composed as expected, but it's the wonderfully spontaneous shots that continue to bring tears to our eyes. We can't possibly say enough about how pleased we were, and we absolutely recommend him!

    A++++ Creative, kind, artistic, flexible, human, not annoying to guests. Fast turn-around, and we bought rights to all photos (digital).

    Roey was absolutely phenomenal - he became a part of our celebration. We had so much fun with him during the wedding weekend and his beautiful images make us feel like our wedding was just yesterday. He's creative and flexible, I couldn't praise him highly enough.

    Roey’s photography is simply beautiful. Here’s our story: We wanted a budget wedding, and hesitated about hiring a professional photographer, as we heard they could be inflexible about their price packages and the minimum amount of work they were willing to do. We know of couples who have spent thousands of dollars on photographs that don’t seem to express a lot of… emotion or personality or creativity. We didn’t want to be disappointed. Also, we only wanted to capture the “major” wedding moments: the church ceremony, the first dance, cake cutting, toasts, and most of all, the emotions and happiness expressed by us and our guests – not hundreds of photos of people dancing or stiff formal portraits. At the very last minute, we finally caved in and realized we would regret not having the moment captured by a professional. Luckily we found Roey! Of course it was pure luck that he was available on such short notice, but also it was pure serendipity that working with Roey turned out GREAT.

    Roey quickly met with us in person to discuss our needs and wants for the photography. He was very flexible, not pushy on what HE wanted. (This is a good point to interject that Roey’s prices at that time were more reasonable than other comparable photojournalistic photographers in the area.) At the wedding, he was on time, professional, unassuming, charming and friendly. In no time during the event did Roey make demands on us or on our guests, e.g., for certain poses. The only time he imposed his views was to suggest a different background for the family portraits (which turned out great). Because Roey was so laid-back and “behind the scenes,” he was able to capture the laughter, love, and all the emotions that day, and not just faces.

    And just as he promised, when we got back from our honeymoon a little over a week later, Roey provided us all the images he took on a CD and allowed us to make our own copies of the images as we wished. He offered options for creating albums, but did not pressure us to purchase these additional services.

    Out of all the beautiful moments that Roey captured on film that day, when you first think you can’t pick just one favorite, there is one image that just says it was all “meant to be.” Only Roey could have captured that moment perfectly.

    Roey is a highly talented, easy-going, professional photographer. He immediately puts you at ease with his friendly yet subtle approach. His trained eye captured perfectly the liveliness, joy, and vivid color of our event. Roey was also incredibly flexible and willing to "go with the flow." I would highly, highly recommend this guy!

    We wholeheartedly recommend photojournalist and wedding photographer Roey Yohai. Roey documented our wedding in September 2007, and we were thrilled that he was able to capture and distill the emotions from all the best moments of our day with incredible fidelity and sensitivity. We were extremely impressed with his enthusiasm and energy; his sensitivity to our wishes, and constant professionalism yet easy-going manner. He met with us several times in advance to make sure we agreed about locations and shots, and he was very helpful in suggesting what would work, as well as being very accomodating. On the wedding day, he (and his associate Allison Shelley) were invisible yet ubiquitous, getting an astonishing number of perfectly-composed shots and capturing the personalities of people he had just met, all without interfering in the ceremony in any way. After the ceremony, we went on a grand tour of New York City, getting pictures in many locations under many different conditions (like Grand Central Terminal, and the subway!), all in record time before the dinner reception. Roey even had enough time left to take a couple of spontaneous “glamour” photos of Terri against the Manhattan skyline, though we hadn’t planned it.

    After the wedding day, Roey kept us informed about the progress of the editing, and delivered to us a DVD with over a thousand beautiful, well-framed images. Everyone who has seen these pictures thinks they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen.

    We’re so glad to have found Roey - he successfully condensed our joyous day into a stunning collection of photo memories.

    Roey had great ideas but also respected what we wanted. The pictures turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier. All friends and family are also saying how wonderful the pics are.
