Julian Ribinik

Julian is simply fantastic. He is warm, easy to work with, and responsive. I could email him at any time and know I would hear back within the hour– which gave me a great sense of comfort. He is eager to help in any way and has wonderful ideas. He even helped us find our videographer. Our close friends used him for their wedding and we knew eventually we would too when the time came because he did such a great job with them. He is great with people and truly captured every special moment. I especially love how the photos are edited– he has a different style than most photographers and we love the feel of every picture. I highly recommend Julian and his team!

I used Julian Ribinik Photography several times for various events and personal/​family photo sessions, and they are fantastic! Very creative, professional, courteous and detail-​oriented. The photographs always look amazing and are receiving a lot of compliments! I highly recommend them.

Working with Julian and Evgenia was an absolute pleasure. First of all, they are insanely talented! Their photo-​journalistic style is gorgeous, creative, dramatic, and captures all of those really special intimate moments. Not only are their photos amazing, but they are so responsive, sweet, and easy-​going. On the day of our wedding, we had very bad weather and were quite worried that our photos would be ruined as we had planned to take most of the formal photos outside. Julian and Evgenia really stepped up by being super positive and coming up with amazingly creative ideas for alternative locations and shots. They even let us know that it stopped raining near the end of our reception so we could get a few late night shots outside, which we really appreciated. Overall, hiring Julian and Evgenia to capture our day was one of the best decisions we made of the entire wedding. Thanks guys!

My husband and I had the most fantastic wedding photography experience with Julian and Evgenia Ribinik. Their photography service is exceptional and the two of them were our favorite wedding vendors in every aspect hands down.
While comparing the many different services online, we noticed that their quality of photography was superior to others and seemed like it was coming from a luxury wedding magazine. From the very first contact until after the wedding Julian and Evgenia were extremely prompt and responsive to all of our questions and concerns.
On both our engagement and wedding pictures they really captured who we are, which is difficult with people like us who are not used to taking photos. Their professional demeanor and outstanding talent at finding fantastic spots for shots really put us at ease. We knew our pictures would turn out amazingly!
Once the ceremony started they just melted into the background and were unnoticeable, but yet always there. They also did an amazing job at catching candid moments with everyone just having a great time!
We got some sneak-​peak pictures just days after the wedding and four weeks later we received a link with the full gallery and edited favorites. As a final gift from Julian and Evgenia, we received a thumb drive with all of our pictures in a beautiful box.
Stellar ratings for Julian and Evgenia don’t do them enough justice and there are honestly not enough words to describe how happy and lucky we were to have these two on our wedding day. We would choose Julian and Evgenia Ribinik a million times over!

I literally cannot say enough about Julian and Evgenia.
Julian and Evgenia are an absolute pleasure to work with. These two are such a great team, and I felt they were more our partners as opposed to just another wedding vendor. Prompt response, honest engagement and a seamless wedding day made this partnership a very pleasant experience.
… and of course the photos. We love love love our photos. Ali and I are not naturally comfortable in front of a camera, but Evgenia’s documentary style photography really made us feel at ease and it shows in the pictures. We cannot thank them enough for our photos!

Julian and his associate Peter did an amazing job capturing our wedding, from the people to the decorations to the food! They were great at leading the photography schedule but yet at the same time being inconspicuous when needed. We also loved our engagement photos, which we were able to incorporate a wardrobe change into at no extra cost. My husband and I would highly recommend him and his team.

We recently used Julian Ribinik for our wedding photography, and to put it simply, we couldn’t have been more impressed.
Julian himself is a a professional and personable guy, and we felt very comfortable with him. They (Julian and with his second shooter, Peter) arrived at our event plenty early to take some getting ready and family portrait shots.
Throughout our wedding day Julian was able to capture stunning shots of us getting ready, of our ceremony, and of our party — they even managed to captured some of the details we hadn’t thought about during the day because we were so busy, and looking back at them is so much fun. He was even able to direct our family members into all of the family shots we wanted — including certain difficult family members.
Communication with Julian before and after the wedding was always pleasant. He was able to take our personal requests into account, and after the wedding the pictures were ready very quickly. And he was able to recommend (an equally great) videographer for us as well.
Even before our honeymoon was over, Julian was able to send us a couple of very quick highlights to post on our Facebook pages — to help make our relatives who couldn’t attend jealous. And it wasn’t much later before he sent us the rest of the pictures. The photos all came out absolutely wonderfully, beyond our expectations. Now we’ll always remember how beautiful of a day it was.
Hopefully your event won’t overlap with our next major family function, because we’ll be working with him again. =) We couldn’t be happier with our choice in Julian Ribinik photography, and highly recommend him

A true professional. Julian provided us with amazing wedding day and rehearsal photos and did so timely and professionally. Put your trust in Julian, who does wedding photography for a living, not as a hobby.

Where do we begin? We knew choosing the right photographer was on the top of our list when we were planning our wedding. Not only did we want gorgeous photos, most importantly, we wanted to find someone that made us feel comfortable. After speaking with countless photographers, we knew from the first time we spoke with Julian that we wanted to have him capture our wedding day! His calmness, laid back nature and ease made the decision easy to make. He took the time to explain his style and listened to our needs. Throughout the whole planning process, Julian was always quick to respond (even before we solidified him as our wedding photographer) and was genuinely happy to help. He never made us feel that we were a bother (even after e-​mailing several times a day) which in my opinion is very important. When we thought things couldn’t get any better, we were graced with the presence of Julian AND his wife Evgenia on our wedding day. It was such a special surprise. Evgenia has a wonderful presence and they are truly the perfect pair. We are so grateful to have met them and so pleased that they captured the most amazing memories from our wedding day. Our photos are truly breathtaking. The best part about it was that we barely noticed they were there. We also loved how they posted sneak peeks of the photos right away while we were on our honeymoon. They really worked hard to show us our photos quickly and it was much appreciated because we were so anxious to see them. Both are truly talented photographers that are genuinely invested in making their couples happy. Trust me when I say that they are the type of people you want to have around you on your wedding day. Don’t hesitate on choosing Julian or Evgenia as your wedding photographer! I promise it will be the best decision you make!

I am prone to worrying about money. For our wedding, we essentially scrapped all costs… the catering, the flowers, the venue… everything. But the one thing we invested in was photography. And it is the best investment we could have ever made. In fact, working with Evgenia at Julian Ribinik Photography was the best experience we ever could have asked for. It is the only time I can ever remember thinking to myself when paying for a service rendered… I wish I would have paid more!
Evgenia was more than a photographer. She was part of the family. Only 11 of us there… only immediate family… and she felt as if she WAS family! She blended in so fluidly into the most intimate of moments… capturing for us the contours of an existence too often lost… the feelings and thoughts and interactions that define our lives but that exist between the words we try to use to define them.
Seeing those pictures… breathtaking. Joyous. Heart-​breaking. Beauty.
Never could we have imagined that anyone could have done what Evgenia did for us that day. I am fussy (much more than my wife) but she worked with me, with us. Made it about us. Made it about capturing the «real» and not «performing» real for the camera. She guided us and responded to us but also was able to lead us in a direction that yielded the kind of photos that will genuinely last a lifetime.
We are so grateful to Julian and Evgenia. They expressed our love on that day better than even our vows ever could!
With love,
Danny Meyer (and Alexis Meyer)

Early in our wedding planning I thought a lot about what kind of photographer we should find and looking at all of their websites, but I kept finding myself coming back to Julian Ribinik. The elegance of Julian and Evgenia’s work, both in their candids and posed photos fit perfectly with the style we wanted. Once we met them, I had zero doubt they would be perfect. They were so friendly, fun, and easy to work with. Evgenia did our engagement shoot, which was a lot of fun and got us even more excited for the big day. When our wedding day finally came, they were great — staying out of the way to let people relax and enjoy themselves, but knowing exactly where to be when to capture all the important moments. When they started showing us the shots they got it seems like they were everywhere at once! They captured everything, and the photos all convey that fun elegance we were looking for. We got a lot of amazing black and whites, and they even managed to make the day’s somewhat dreary weather seem bright and spring-​like! Julian and Evgenia did great work, and we gladly recommend them to anyone that asks!

I don’t consider myself photogenic and was very worried about picking a wedding photographer. I did not want highly photoshopped pictures and wanted our wedding pictures to portray the emotion of the day and to be able to relive the day through our pics. I was also aware that we would be spending a lot of time with our wedding photographers, I’ve had a few bad experiences as a bridesmaid, so I was extremely picky and the personality of the wedding photographer was very important to me! When we met, Julian we knew right away that he was the right photographer for us. Julian was never pushy or unprofessional allowing his incredibly beautiful work to speak for itself. Both before we booked him for our wedding as well as for over a year leading up to our wedding Julian and Evgeniya responded to every single email, question and request in a timely manner as well as extremely professional and honest one.
On the day of the wedding Julian and Evgeniya were so fun to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We felt as though throughout the day they became an extension of our wedding party. When we saw a few previews of our pictures a few days later, I was literally speechless that our wedding pictures came out so gorgeous. We also received all the pics within a few weeks.
I absolutely cannot wait to have Julian and Evgeniya photograph us In the future. I truly feel that we found photographers for life and cannot recommend them enough. They are so incredibly hard working and talented and we are so lucky that we chose them for our big day!

We were extremely happy about the way our wedding photographs came out. Julian and Evgenia were professional and creative. They missed no detail! It rained on our wedding day but Julian made sure our pictures were beautiful! We definitely chose a great photographer!

We were absolutely thrilled with the beautiful photography of our wedding. My husband is a professional photographer and I used to model wedding gowns, so naturally we had very high expectations. Julian and Evgenia went above and beyond what we expected. Their photography was stunning and creative.
Julian and Evgenia were professional and worked as a fine-​tuned team, yet made you feel relaxed when they were taking photos. We really enjoyed working with them and felt like they were family.
So many of our friends and family have commented on how beautiful the photos are. We now have beautiful photographs of our magical day, thanks to Julian and Evgenia!
We cannot say enough about how wonderful Julian and Evgenia are to work with as well as how fabulous their work is. If you want the best, this is the team you want!

We were extremely happy to work with Julian Ribinik Photography and staff. They exceeded our expectations from their professionalism, quality of the work, artistry and style are unmatched. We researched long and hard to select our photographer and with 100% confidence we can say that we chose the right one. Vilmary and John

There aren’t enough words to describe just how impressed we are with Julian and Evgenia. Besides giving us gorgeous pictures that we keep looking at, Julian is also attentive, positive, and just so great! And did I mention that he responds to every question in what seems like seconds?
We had only a few months to plan a formal wedding, and from the moment we sat down with Julian and Evgenia we felt like we were in good hands. On the day of the wedding we felt comfortable and at ease, and several guests even commented on how nice our photographers are!
The pictures came out better than we could have imagined — they’re lively, colourful, and portray moments we want to remember forever. We cannot imagine having anyone else there to capture these precious memories!

Julian & his wife were almost invisible the day of our wedding. They took the most candid & special shots of our day with it feeling like they were in the way. They have such an eye for seeing what is most important its a bit surreal. The communication before the wedding was also wonderful. He kept in touch & helped setup the timing for everything photo-​wise. Professional & very personal at the same time. I couldn’t have asked for more. The shots were all very candid as we discussed and truly reflected the atmosphere and energy of the day.

One word describes our experience with Julian Ribinik Photographers «Fabulous».
Our wedding was intimate and private, as a second wedding and it being us two, we decided last minute that it would take place in Central Park, New York City
.
I being one that takes pictures of everything! (Creating memories with my camera), it was important to me that professional photos be taken on our special day. This way we would have beautiful memories to share with our family and friends back home.
Needless to say, we made the right choice. From the first contact via email, Julian took the time to explain the process, paired us with «Falcon» our photographer who from the moment you meet, you feel a sense of kindness and calmness. The morning of my wedding it was 36 degrees, I was worried I was going to look stiff and rigid! NO WAY! Our pictures came out beautiful!
The natural poses and scenic choices she made for us was incredible.
Julian took the time to call us on our wedding day that for me really showed he cares about his clients, big or small.
HIGHLY Recommend! 5 STARS!

I am one of those weird people who usually hates how I look in photographs. When it came to look for a wedding photographer, I must have spent 10 hours pouring over websites for NY & CT photographers. One theme was constant when I came across Julian Ribinik’s photography: everyone looked good in the photos, and the shots were incredibly naturally posed.
Fast forward to two weeks ago when I finally had my engagement photo shoot. Julian’s wife, Evegenia did the shoot, and it couldn’t have gone better. She basically told us to just be ourselves and act natural, and she’d be in the background clicking away. When she sent us a few preview shots, I felt like I hit the jackpot. The photos were flawless. I’m so excited to use them as my wedding photographer.

I can honestly say that the only people that are happier than us with our wedding pictures are our parents :) All our pictures came out beautiful and if we were able to give them 6 stars we would. Julian and Evgenia were extremely professional, easy to work with and we received our pictures within a month of the wedding.
I would highly recommend Julian and Evegenia for your next event.
