Do you offer retouching?
Yes, All the images you get on the DVD are post processed! They are color corrected, and we make sure they are perfect density, meaning they are not too light or too dark. Retouching is when we actually take blemishes, spots, or anything that is not needed in the image away. All of the photo books that we provide to you are retouched, and you can get individual images retouched at $7 each pre ordered ( before the wedding) or $10 each after the wedding.
Do you back up your images?
YES, During the event, the camera captures your images to a card, when that card is full, we backup that card to a portable hard drive called HYPERDRIVE. Then it goes into a card case which is in the photographers pocket. The HYPERDRIVE is put into the camera bag. If there is more than one photographer, the 2nd does the same. Each photographer leaves the event with his/hers images. Both photographers upload all the images to a main server for editing. The cards are not used again until about a month after the event just in case there is a problem with the HYPERDRIVES or the main server.

Can you give me any advise for my wedding to go as smoothly as possible?
DJ’s – Smoke machines look great, but not in pictures, they decease the contrast in your photos.
DJs – Zap Photographers should not be in the way of the professional photographers. Unfortunately, Zap photographers are usually not trained in photography or that they need to stay out of the view of the lens. This adds additional stress to the professional photographer and may add retouching fees.
Ceremony – First Kiss – make sure you take your time with the kiss, this gives the photographers a better chance to catch it and take few different shots for you.
Do you provide photo booths?
Yes, we have few booths there are many options but the most popular is
4 Hours, unlimited usage, party props, Scrapbook, Attendant ( delivery, setup, breakdown and help with scrapbook) , 4 shots 8 prints – 4 shots for you ( scrapbook ) 4 shots got guests (your gift to them ) , Online Web photo album, All images yours to keep in high resolution, Pictures are taken with professional lighting and equipment for best possible quality. .

“Alex made our wedding night a stress free affair. He and Jasmin were punctual, professional, and produced great results. They are creative and flexible, without being intrusive. Several guests told us how impressed they were with their coverage. We are very happy with the results and would absolutely hire the “Two Wedding Photographers” again. Highly recommended. On top of their incredible performance, I’d like to make a special note about how easy it was to work with Alex. We planned the wedding from across the country and were very impressed with his responsiveness over the phone and email. Alex promptly returns voice mails, replies to emails, and is very personable in all communication. It was a pleasure to have him as a vendor.” Top qualities: Great Results , Personable , Good Value – Ben Bloom
“My wife and I hired Alex to photograph our wedding. We were scrambling to find a photographer at the last minute and were disgusted by the state of the industry in the NY/NJ area based upon a handful of encounters with some unsavory characters. Alex immediately made us feel at ease in his studio and came across as a genuine human being who willingly gave helpful wedding hints that didn’t even have anything to do with photography. Alex’s selling point of “two wedding photographers for the price of one – nothing gets missed” absolutely holds true. Alex and his partner provided an outstanding value and made our wedding day that much easier. The two photographer approach was perfect and captured all the shots we needed at both dressing locations, the church, and the reception. They were prompt, blended seamlessly into the background of the event, and were helpful – not pushy. I strongly recommend Alex and his partner(s) and would hire them again in a heartbeat. Alex is a true professional who delivers exceptional product at a great price.” Top qualities: Great Results , Personable , Good Value – Chris Colina
“Hi Alex!
I wanted to let you know we all love the pictures! We are so happy with all of them…there are so many great candid shots. You guys did an amazing job and I’ll definitely recommend you to everyone I know! Everyone that has seen them has said they are wonderful.!” – Vanessa Fox.
Hi Alex,
Brian and I are home from our honeymoon and have finally settled back into our everyday life.
I wanted to thank you and Jasmin for all your great work during our wedding. You guys were amazing and the pictures look great! The energy your brought to the day was great. It felt like old friends were taking our photos. - Julia and Brian Curtis
Hi Alex,
How are you, we were so pleased with your services on the day of the wedding, you and your assistant were amazing, thank you so much. The pictures look great!
- Debbie Gallagher
The best around…
Alex and Jasmin are the best. They work great together and really worked hard to capture all of the special moments in the day. Jasmin knows how to conduct traditional shots while Alex quietly catches all of the real emotion while people are not looking. They were everywhere all day and night and I cannot wait for my photos to come in. I would recommend them to everyone and use them again in the future.

“EXTREMELY PERSONABLE AND GREAT TO WORK WITH! My fiance and I compared a lot of photographers for our wedding in August. When we emailed or called Alex, he was always available and prepared to answer any question we had! We setup an engagement session with him in Central Park and we felt extremely comfortable working with him. He was great! Our pictures turned out really nice and he really brought out our personalities! I am really looking forward to the wedding and working with Alex again! I would definitely recommend him to anyone! HE’S GREAT!
