H & H Photographers

We used H&H for an event in March of 2012 for both photos and video. The photographer was discrete, professional, engaged, very active in getting the right shot at the right angle and was always using the right equipment. The photos were unbelievably great. Other photographers may be cheaper, but you get what you pay for. It’s not worth sacrificing a memory you can’t recapture in order to save a few dollars.

You could tell how good a company really is based on how they operate in times of adversity. With just a few weeks prior to our daughter’s bat mitzvah, our photographer had to be let go from the company. H&H replaced her with an even better photographer, which shows their bench strength and ability to come through no matter what happens. Our photographer, Brooke Ismach, was absolutely incredible. We just got our album back and we were blown away. Good news is that we had plenty of shots to fill an album, bad news is that there were so many amazing shots it was very difficult to get it down to a reasonable number for an album. I guess that’s a good problem to have and all the moments she captured was more vivid than our own memories. Dan helped us make the album extraordinary by adding in some extra shots in the backgrounds and as transitions in the album which we would have never thought of ourselves. Then the finished album, made in Italy, has stunning craftsmanship and quality beyond our expectation. We used them for our video as well which was also well done and didn’t require anything from us other than selecting four songs. We plan to use H&H for our next two daughters bat mitzvah and then their weddings too!

Back in 2005, I was put in charge of finding a photographer for my cousin’s Bar Mitzvah. H & H was recommended by a colleague and so I went in to meet with them.
From the beginning, I was impressed with the staff’s professionalism, ideas, and reassurance that we were in good hands. As a videographer, myself, I noted that Dan was understanding and forthcoming with the process and had scores of examples to show.
When the photos were done and shown to my aunt and uncle, upon seeing one photo in particular of my aunt and uncle hugging my cousin, my aunt cried. And she never cries. Give H & H a look. If they can make my aunt cry in happiness, they can surely do the same for you. And any of your aunts. Thank you!

Finding a great photo studio is a tough decision to make. When We got engaged we decided to go with the best photographer recommended to us by our wedding venue at VIP in westchester who recommended H&H photography. We checked the reviews on wedding wire and it sounded great. We worked with Kat at the studio who was incredibly attentive to all the details of our wedding. They are all super friendly and easy to work with. We decided to go with Fred to be our photographer and he did an excellent job. He has a ton of experience and knows exactly what he’s doing. We unexpectedly got a video preview of our photos and it was quite awesome. Our book came out pretty fast and the quality met all our expectations. As a graphic designer myself, I totally recommend h&h for their high quality and impeccable service!

I used H & H Photographers for my wedding. The staff was very professional and great to work with. One of the assistants, Kat, was very personable and checked in with us throughout the process. When we realized it was going to rain on our wedding day, Kat was right on top of that. She called us a few days prior to the date to discuss options to make sure we would have the proper lighting for the weather conditions.
Our photographer, Fred, was very easy to work with and had a great deal of experience. He also had a fun way to get everyone to smile and captured many memorable moments. About one month after the wedding, we received a video of some of the photo highlights, which was unexpected and a pleasant surprise. We were able to send it to family, friends and post it on Facebook. Dan is also a really great guy to work with and was very attentive. Our photos and the photo album were ready rather quickly. We were also given some additional promotional photos and a calendar, which was a great plus. This venue was worth the money spent and we would use them again for a big event.

I wish my review would show in the top 4 and do not understand why it becomes «hidden» and 2 negative, really old reviews show. If anyone has had a negative experience with H&H, in the past, and I can’t understand why they would, people should look at current reviews. Everything was so perfect, and eventhough the weather turned out not to our benefit, Andrea was able to make us all at ease and make the best of the weather. It will be so hard choosing for our albums. The pictures are posted on Pictage which allows whomever we want to be able to see them, see them, and order what they want. We were given 2 discs with all the pictures that we can use as we want to. The fact that the entire crew was with us for 12 hours, and shot pictures for 12 hours, with energy has to say more than I can. They were so familar with our venue, Mamaroneck Beach & Yacht Club, that they were truly able to include everything

RUN! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! Awful pictures, nasty attitude, unpleasant people. Don’t fall for the nice salesman act.

My husband and I booked H&H Photographers after we got a recommendation from our florist (Arcadia Floral in Mammaroneck — who was recommended by our venue, The Garrison– all were wonderful!). We worked with Dan and Larry on the booking and Fred was our photographer. They were all very helpful and responsive to emails/​calls with questions and definitely helped us to prepare for gathering family and friends for photos on the big day. Our wedding ended up being the weekend of Hurricane Irene. Our band cancelled on us the night before (don’t book Drop Dead Sexy!) so I frantically emailed Dan and he got back to me right away (it was 10pm at night) and told me not to worry, the photographer would be there no matter what. The next morning, Larry called to reassure us that Fred and an assistant would be there no matter what. They arrived on time that day and were extremely professional. They stayed until the very, very end of our party despite the bad weather. We loved working with them and look forward to creating our wedding album. Also, their prices are very, very reasonable considering how much you get. We researched many photographers in the Westchester/​Hudson Valley/​NYC area and their prices were great!

This place is an absolute joke. They are in business because their «sales» pitch is pretty good. However their service is unworthy of half of their prices. We were so disappointed with the engagement shoot that we decided the day after to cancel the service. The owner — who I might add is NOT a photographer by trade he just inherited the business from his father who was a photographer — refused to give us our deposit back (which was fine because it was stated in the contract it was non refundable), however who operates a business like that?
Note that the engagement shoot was a disaster. We were in the most unnatural poses, and our photographer took two cell phone calls during our shoot!
All the owner is doing is hiring contractors for shoots. He obviously takes NO PRIDE in the work and is extremely rude when you question the work of his «staff». There are too many other photographers out there — get a photographer with his/​her own business where the owner takes the photos.

We went ahead with H&H for our wedding in July of 2010. We had Eric. The poses he had us do were super unnatural and… not having been married before we did not get all the pictures we needed with typical family members.
We really would have liked some guidance since as the groom with my new bride: there was no way we would have remembered who we need for photos.
Then came the photos and video. Blah! Our friends took way better pictures in both quality and poses! The video was like something from 1980. Static and horrible audio. Again– better stuff came from our family than the videographer.
Our friend got married in October and we are now seeing their videos and photos. Our friends used non-​fulltime photo/​videographers and got 200% better quality than we did with H&H.
Sigh. I’m not on a mission to destroy these guys or anything– I’m sure they’ll do just fine. However, I would hate to see anyone out there be as dissatisfied as we were.

We used H&H for our January wedding in Brooklyn and they were great. Dan is very nice and professional, and the photography team was great as well. I would definitely recommend them. We were thrilled with the photos and their website is easy to use. Thank you!

Do NOT use these photographers! Upon meeting and greeting, my sales person could not have been nicer. But, when it came to delivering, I found them to be dishonest and outright liers. When I tried to talk to them about my ‘issues,’ they were obnoxious and just plain didn’t care. My wedding photos did not come out well and the photographer neglected to take photos of most of my guests. WIth SO many other photographers around, save yourself a headache.
