The Best!!!
I cannot recommend Trent enough after the wonderful job he did shooting our wedding… in fact I have recommended him to many friends and they all have loved working with him for their weddings!
Trents team goes above and beyond to make everyone in your wedding party feel comfortable, welcome, and at ease. My husband was very uneasy about having photographers follow him around all day and within 2 minutes of meeting Trent and his team he was so happy and comfortable. Dara is the perfect complement to Trent, she was so helpful in ensuring every photo was just right.
They manage to stay “behind the scenes” while getting photos that make them appear front and center. Their team blended in as guests - you wouldn’t have known they were photographers (although the cameras gave it away…)
Trent shared a sneak peak of our photos so quickly, it was amazing to leave on our honeymoon scrolling through his incredible photos. The full digital album was incredible and so easy to use and access.
I absolutely loved the mix of film and digital photos they took - we even had an entire album made of just the film photos because they were so special. We have our wedding photos all over our home and will treasure them for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much to the entire Trent Bailey team - you are the best in the buis! -

My husband and I worked with Trent and Dara for our engagement shoot and can’t recommend enough. They were attentive and detail oriented with the little things like a hair falling out of place, a necklace clasp clasp falling forward, or our dog not facing the camera, which made all the difference in making sure each shot was perfect. We hired them because we didn’t want cheesy, posed engagement photos, and really wanted authentic, artful candids that captured this special period of our lives that we would be excited to share with future generations--and they delivered! My husband, who is not used to being in front of the camera, particularly appreciated Trent's prompting and cueing that helped him relax on camera, so the photos actually feel like us. Will definitely be booking again for future milestones! -

My husband and I were married in November 2020 (during the height of the pandemic) in upstate New York. One of the best choices we made was picking Trent as our photographer! From the initial consultation with Trent his depth of experience was immediately evident. We had a lot of thoughts about our day, how we wanted it to look and all the things we wanted to do. Trent helped us come up with a realistic plan, and execute it flawlessly on our big day. Trent is the perfect mix of southern charm (he is a total gentleman) and urban artist. Trent is an artist in the truest sense of the word, and has an eye for incorporating the surrounding environment. Each shot looks organic while being unique and inventive. Trent’s eye for the detail and ability to get “the shot” without ever making us feel anything other than relaxed, really confirmed for us that we had made the right choice in partnering with him. Trent was very willing to work with us on everything we were trying to accomplish, within our budget and effectively collaborating, providing his great ideas and feedback throughout the entire process. We could not more highly recommend Trent! -

Jane O. Sent on 07/26/2022Trent and Dara are the best wedding photographers you will find
Working with Trent and Dara on my wedding day (twice - Covid wedding and big wedding the next year!) was truly incredibly. Not only are they the absolutely best at what they do, they are your therapists, zen buddhas, and pump you up the entire day. Trent and Dara are so calming and made the day so fun, enjoyable, and smooth. They are unlike other photographers in SO many ways, and by the end of the weekend, they are truly family. Trent and Dara will also be the best dressed guests at your wedding. They made our family, friends and wedding party feel so included in the most special way.
Most importantly, they truly take the best photos you have ever seen. Friends and family we shared our gallery with were BLOWN away and literally told us they have never seen such incredible wedding photos. They use 5+ different cameras that get the most beautiful and unique shots, while also capturing the classic wedding look you want. Trent’s eye is unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and he captures the most special moments that no other photographer would think to shoot. He will go to your venue and seek out the best and most beautiful spots to take photos, and while he truly knows best, he will listen to what YOU want and lets you run the show. You have never seen wedding photos like Trent’s.
I tell my friends who are getting married that there is no other option for photographers than Trent and Dara. I would choose them over and over again - nobody compares. Trent and Dara are the COOLEST, most professional, organized, and talented photographers you will find and it’s truly a waste of time looking elsewhere. They work seamlessly and easily with other vendors and they make the entire process so easy. There are no words to explain how incredible they are and I will always appreciate working with them so much. -

We could not have been happier working with Trent and Dara on our wedding day! Every meeting with Trent leading up to the wedding was so enjoyable, and he really kept us organized and on track with a schedule to ensure we captured all of the special moments, and so many more. Looking back on the day it is so hard to envision where Trent & Dara were capturing all these amazing photos, they really blended right into the party! They were so organized and just two incredibly nice and genuine humans. We never had to worry about any “diva personalities” you sometimes encounter when searching for the right wedding vendors!
We were so happy with how everything turned out, and constantly look back at the beautiful album that reminds us of such a special day. Thank you Trent & Dara! -
User2558278 Sent on 03/21/2016Trent Bailey is on every list of top NY wedding vendors for a reason-- he is fantastically talented, a consummate professional, and a wonderful person! My husband and I met Trent because he was the photographer at a close friend's wedding. We were drawn to his photos because Trent has a keen eye for capturing candid, intimate, real moments, as opposed to simply snapping posed portraits. We considered other photographers before deciding to work with him, but no one could top his beautiful work. Trent and his wife Dara took great interest in us as a couple and were focused on learning what was most important to us about our wedding. Well in advance of our Big Day, Trent did a lovely engagement photo shoot for us so that we would get to know each other better and have beautiful photos to use for our wedding website. I loved Trent and his wife Dara so much that I ended up purchasing my wedding veil from Dara, who is also a talented milliner. On our wedding day, Trent and Dara were absolutely wonderful. They brought a spirited but relaxed energy to their work, and moved effortlessly through the day, capturing our most important moments organically. Trent did plenty of advanced planning to make sure we could shoot our First Look, family portaits, and other shots exactly where we wanted to, and he had plenty of backup options ready in case of rain! Our other vendors, particularly our videographer, loved working with them. Most important, of course, was the final product of Trent and Dara's efforts. We received our wedding photos just two weeks after the event, and they were more beautiful than we could have imagined! Superb quality, striking use of color and texture, and countless, priceless shots of the most important moments from our wedding. The mixture of color and black and white photography was just perfect. The Big Day flew by, just as everyone tells you it will. But thanks to Trent, we will get to keep it forever! We couldn't recommend him more.

User2558293 Sent on 03/21/2016Trent Bailey is the absolute best photographer out there. He captures the most beautiful photos and makes for a perfectly smooth day. Trent's photos are unique and artistic, never forced. He has a special way of capturing small little moments, real smiles, and the pure happiness of a wedding day. Trent is not only a photographer, he is an artistic story teller. You are with the best when you choose Trent! -
User2565850 Sent on 03/31/2016I loved every single picture Trent printed out of our wedding. I actually do not know a single bride that can say the same thing. When we received the photos (only days after our wedding), I was elated and emotional. He captured the essence of who were are as a couple and the wedding we crafted for our friends and wedding. Trent has a gift, and it was fun to play the muse of his craft. He made the whole process special. And I love that he never forgets your anniversary! I had really high expectations for our wedding photos; I wanted keepsakes to cherish. What we received from Trent exceeded my expectations, and I am thankful for that.

User2558572 Sent on 03/21/2016We were so happy with our engagement and wedding photography! We did our engagement photo shoot in a row boat in central park and Trent came prepared with adorable props that made the whole day and the photographs so unique and memorable. Trent and his wife, Dara, took such beautiful photos of our wedding day at the Central Park Boathouse and we had a lot of fun getting to know them throughout the process. We have since recommended Trent Bailey to friends and everyone has been very happy with his work! We would definitely recommend them! Five stars! -

Kristine Sent on 09/17/2011I am very surprised that so far there has only been 1 review for Trent. If you are looking for a photographer for your wedding, check out Trent Bailey Photography. He and his lovely wife (2nd shooter) photographed my wedding this past August 2011 and the photography that they both captured was absolutely beautiful! To me having beautiful pictures is an absolute MUST HAVE! I wanted photos that were light and had an airy quality to it. Trent's photography definitely captured that for me. It looks and FEELS very beautiful. It felt like something that I can see in a magazine. I absolutely abhor the typical wedding pictures that look completely staged... you know, the type of pictures with the bride on the bed posing or the bride and groom kissing with a glass of champagne sticking out in front. I hate that. But that's just my personal preference. With Trent, it didn't feel staged. He didn't direct every single movement or every single placement of my hand, head, or whatnot. As a result, the photos look very natural and not forced at all!
I planned my entire wedding in California. I never got the chance to meet Trent in person prior to the wedding. I didn't know anyone personally that had worked with Trent before. I based my decision solely on the photographs I saw online and on my interaction with Trent via phone and e-mails. Imagine how nerve wracking it is to trust your entire wedding day's memories on one guy's hands whom you've never met before. I obviously took that leap, I trusted Trent, and I couldn't be any happier with my decision.
Trent worked very well with my videographer (Marvin Silva Cinematography). They were both so courteous with each other even though they've never worked with each other before. I was recently a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding where the photog was just *not* nice and *not* courteous to the videographer at all! As a participant, I felt so uncomfortable with that. But with Trent, I feel like you will never have that problem. Trent is such a nice, Southern gentleman. He is a great photographer and a great person.
Check out his website, check out the blogs that feature his photography... I'm sure you'll love his photography as much as I do. Do I recommend Trent Bailey Photography? HELL YEAH!!
