Reviews of Abella Studios (Photo Studio)

Christina Lunardoni

Working with Abella Studios for our wedding on August 5, 2017 was one of the best decisions we made! Our photographers and videographers were professional and personable. They delivered an AMAZING same day edit and our guests were blown away! We were even happier to see the photographs, as they captured our special moments beautifully. We would highly recommend Abella to anyone looking for artistic work and an overall quality experience!

My daughter got married this past September and we used Abella Studios as our photographer. Mark was amazing! He managed to get all the perfect shots while not being intrusive! We are still reviewing the proofs but can only imagine how the actual photos will look. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for that perfect mix of photo style!!

Finding the right photographer and videographer for my precious daughter Kate's wedding ceremony to George, in our Greek Orthodox Church was no easy task. She spent hours online and got lots of referrals from friends... but not one of the leads interested her or struck her fancy. Thankfully she viewed her friend's (also Greek Orthodox) wedding photos on Facebook, and was immediately excited over every photo/video she saw as was George. She wasted no time in making an appointment for the two of us to visit Abella Studios. We were hooked from the minute we met Jade and viewed the photos and videos she had ready for our appointment. Yes... they definitely knew what Greek weddings, with so much tradition and symbolism in each step of the service meant, and Jade showed us images of what her talented staff was capable of achieving. Kate made all the arrangements with Jade and picked photo and video packages that were in her budget without any pressure at all. In fact, Jade told Kate to wait to place the order because there was a special promotion coming up... how thoughtful of her to keep the budget in mind. A year of planning flew by and Kate and George's wedding day was here! It was a beautiful October Saturday in New Jersey; perfect weather after a rainy week. The photographer, Tom, arrived at our home and immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed. He was professional, talented, so very sweet and kind. He directed Kate, her three beautiful bridesmaids, her brother, uncle and me in a gentle and effortless manner. We all felt an instant rapport with Tom and was thrilled to have him in our home. Once we got to church, just minutes away, Tom and the videographers, Frances and Brandon immediately set up and were ready to shoot. They were never in the way or detracted from the beautiful service that united Kate with George. They were a perfect team. We asked for a group photo of Kate and George with all our guests in front of the church and Tom climbed up on a chair and clicked away! What a great idea... I recommend that special shot to all newly married couples... a real keepsake. The reception was as perfect as our home and church experience. We knew The Team was there but never were they "in our face" and they worked the entire night... which flew by! Thank you Abella. We can't wait to relive Kate and George's special day through the amazing talents of your awesome team. Bravo to you for having such professional, talented, caring and thoughtful staff who go out of their way to please their clients. I would recommend Abella to anyone for any occasion. Thank you for doing what you do best... make memories. Christine

Abella Studios is an incredible Video & Cinematography Company. CSE has had the pleasure of working with them over the years and it has been an easy task. Clients always have great things to say and the work speaks for itself. We have a great relationship with Mark and his team! Here at City Sounds we highly recommend Abella Studios.

Being a guy , you usually take a back seat and let your wife choose all the wedding vendors out. However when it came to photography/videography I was involved in the decision and was totally impressed with abellas studio. The price didn't make a gigantic hole in my pocket and after seeing my video and photos I should've paid them double for the work they produced. Their team was awesome and didn't let me down or my wife. Happy wife= happy life..winning Definitely will recommend to friends getting married and will use them again.

One of the greatest investment I made for my wedding was Abella Studios! When anyone asks me what my favorite movie is, I say it’s my Abella Studios wedding video! Dan and Pil were our cinematographers and they were professional and down to earth! My dream has come true, and I couldn’t have chosen a better company to capture my special day than Abella Studios!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!

Laurie Schlachter

We could not be happier with Abella studios! They were incredibly easy to work with, and very professional. They captured beautiful shots of our wedding day, and our guests were completely blown away by the same day edit. So was I, I must have watched it 100 times by now! People who were not in attendance at the wedding have seen the SDE and told us that it really made them feel like they were there. We just received a cut of the full length video and absolutely love it. We have already recommended Abella to several friends, and we will continue to do so!

Kate Vasilow

My husband and I are both Greek Orthodox and finding a company that was experienced in our church ceremony was extremely important to us. I had found Abella through a Greek friend who had posted her same day edit on Facebook. The video was dramatic, beautiful, and special. It captured so many important and sacred parts of our ceremony, I knew I wanted to see more! After seeing Kallie's video, reading online reviews, and visiting Abella's website, I made a phone call. Jade was amazing and provided a great deal of information. My Mom and I made an appointment in December of 2013 (my wedding was October 2014) where I requested to see more photos and footage of Greek Orthodox ceremonies. Upon meeting with Jade that day in December, she kept her promise, and shared a wealth of beautiful photos and videos. We went over packages and chose one that would be best for our day, future, and of course, budget. She was never pushy, and in fact, told us it would be best to purchase by a certain date so that we could get a special open house price. A few weeks before our wedding, Ryan from Abella followed up and requested special shots, footage, and more information. It put me at ease knowing that they knew exactly what I wanted, and didn't want, and even more excited for our day! Tom, the photographer, was expected at our home at 1pm on October 25th, and he arrived at 12:45. Immediately, he made me feel comfortable and at ease. I of course did exactly as he asked me to do, as he is the expert, but when I jumped in a few times and requested a different pose or shot, he was just as willing! We did a variety of shots inside my home (in different locations) and outside on the front lawn. It was a beautiful, typical, crisp New Jersey fall day and we took advantage of the weather. Frances and Brandon, the videographers, met us at church. They were wonderful as well. Our church ceremony was beautiful and I can't wait to see our photos and videos! We had requested that a group shot be done immediately after our exit and the Abella guys were ready for it! Tom stood on a chair to ensure that we were all in it! We then took bridal party photos on the lawn. I can't say enough wonderful things about the Abella team! One more thing that is important to bring up is that we always knew that they were there, but they were never overly present or in our face. They were professional and understated while capturing the perfect shots. I don't know if that's because I was SO happy all day and was only focusing on my groom, family, and friends, or because Abella is THAT good! I'm sure it was a wonderful combination of both. The team snapped photos ALL DAY and NIGHT and the videographers were on point ALL night as well. I never saw them sitting/walking around. They were amazing. I am the type of bride that will watch my video on a monthly basis for the rest of my life! Reliving our day is so important to me because it was truly perfect. I know I needed and wanted to find a company that was the best and I was willing to pay for it. If you are looking for a professional, creative, hard working, and an awesome team to represent your wedding, Abella is the perfect fit! I am SO HAPPY I chose them.

We hired Abella for our wedding and we are so happy we did. Jade was great to work with and helped us pick the right package for our taste and budget. Our photographer Tom was so much fun to work with and truly captured the essence of our wedding in his photos. They did an amazing job!

John DeRosa

Our wedding was this past April 22. We hired Abella Studios for our photography and had a fantastic experience! Tomasz was our photographer and did a great job from start to finish. He showed up on time to my wife’s house on time. Took a lot of great pictures. He took tons of great shots at our mass, with our bridal party, and at the reception. Also, he had ideas for different pictures which was really helpful (I hadn’t planned out any ideas for different poses and such in advance). When we informed Tomasz he didn’t have to stay for the last half hour, he insisted on staying for his contracted time, taking additional photos. Overall, we highly recommend Abella Studios for your wedding photography.

Soobin Kang

Amazing photographs from an amazing team of photographers for our wedding! Highly recommend for any special occasions!

Aubrey Mazzaro

Abella Studios did a wonderful job with my wedding! I would highly recommend them to any friends and family who are looking for a photography/videography studio! Jade from the office was always extremely helpful with any and all of my questions and I had a ton of questions! Anders was our photographer the day of our wedding and he was completely open to any ideas or questions we had. He was so easy to work with and we felt completely comfortable! Benny was our videographer and was on the dance floor with us the whole night but you wouldn't have known he was there! Both Anders and Benny were completely unobtrusive during our wedding festivities and I could tell they wanted to make our day as perfect as possible. I cannot say enough about Abella Studios! Thank you again! Aubrey Mazzaro

Anyone can see that Abella Studios creates the most beautiful videography. They have videoing your special day and capturing the perfect moments down to a science. What is truly remarkable about Abella Studios is the magic behind the scenes. The Abella Team is fantastic to work with! From the first e-mail inquiry to reviewing our wedding day footage, every correspondence from Milissa and Ryan was prompt and professional. The day of our wedding, we had the pleasure of working with Dylan and Damien. These two very talented individuals did an amazing job of filming all of the important parts as well as capturing some incredibly special candid moments. You could see these guys take great pride in their work and it showed in our Same Day Edit. There wasn't a dry eye in the house! We also want to highlight the team’s kindness and compassion. A few weeks after our wedding, our dear friend was tragically killed in the senseless act of violence in NYC. We contacted Abella Studios to see if there were any videos of our friend to share with his family. Dylan looked through hours of footage and sent us whatever he could find. It meant the world that they dropped everything to provide us with even just a few minutes of our friend dancing and enjoying himself. We knew from our face-to-face meeting that we had made the right decision. We are so thankful for everything Abella Studios has done for us and will forever be grateful we had the opportunity to work with this company.

Kelly Jones

I wish there were words to accurately express how much I appreciate the quality of Abella’s work, and how grateful I am that we choose you as our photographer and videographer for our wedding at Bear Brook Valley on 8.17.19. Dylan, Ryan and Pil were INCREDIBLE the entire day and the Same Day Edit video was beyond amazing!!! I received SO many compliments about how quickly and beautifully they put together the highlight video, and I have already passed along your information because our guests want you as their vendor after seeing the same day edit video at our wedding. It was a really hot afternoon during our pictures, but all three Abella guys were extremely patient, didn’t complain once, and were very detailed in making sure I got every important shot that was requested. We felt comfortable the entire time they took pictures and video of us and we would highly recommend Abella 1000% for anyone looking for the whole video and picture wedding package!

Elisa & Shawn Smith

We were totally impressed and satisfied with our experience! Abella Studios did such an amazing job from the photography and videography to the incredible same day edit! The crew was extremely personable and did a fantastic job getting all the shots we wanted. We couldn't be happier with our choice!

Jennifer Brigley

We were referred to Abella by our venue and we were so happy we used them. We liked that they were used to shooting weddings at the venue, this made them able to give us suggestions as far as where to take photos in the venue, etc. The day of our wedding there was a misunderstanding by one of the photographers and she did not make it to the hotel to take pictures of my husband getting ready. She got to the church as quickly as possible and did her best to try to capture the moments before the ceremony of my husband and his parents and groomsmen. Ryan, our Abella in office contact, and I spoke that day and he was so apologetic and promised to try to make things right for us by adding upgrades to our package. While it was upsetting the day of, my husband and I were happy that the photographer and Tom were apologetic and did their best to make up for it. Things are bound to go wrong on your wedding day and for us it really meant alot that they made up for human error. They increased the size of our album and gave us additional thank you cards. We were so happy with their photographers the day of, they were professional and did a great job. They captured the best day of our lives and they did it in a great way that didn't feel invasive or take us away from each other and our guests. Our videographer was great too! Definitely recommend them, service and prices are great!

Juli Couceiro

My husband and I can’t thank Abella Studios enough for all the incredible work they did for our engagement pictures and for our wedding! The day of our engagement pictures it was one of those days where everything was going wrong. The photographer worked with us with such patience and assured us everything was going to work out fine, as he fit us into his busy schedule when we were running incredible late for our shoot. We couldn’t be more thankful because the pictures came out gorgeous! On the day of our wedding, the photographer and videographers all showed up on time and with the same patience and organization as the other photographer from our engagement shoot. We got the same day edit video that had the entire room teary eyed, it captured such beautiful moments that were so special to us. It is something we can watch over and over and it will always bring back those feelings we felt that day. When we got the pictures from our wedding day, not even a few weeks later, they left us speechless. The photos were sent to us in such organized folders that separated them into different parts of the day. The photographer was able to capture such artistic, beautiful shots of our special day that we will treasure forever. Every person that I dealt with from Abella Studios was so helpful, professional and always so quick to answer. They were all extremely organized and helped to keep things easy for me throughout the whole planning process. We absolutely love everything Abella Studios did for us and can’t recommend them enough for your special day!

Dana DiStefano

We worked with Abella recently and could not have been more thrilled with the services. We hired them about 2 months after we got engaged and did our engagement shoot with them in February and had SO much fun and the photos were perfect for our Save the Dates. We then also worked with them last weekend (December 1) for our wedding and to say we are excited to get the photos back is an understatement. We worked with Gustavo and Ralph and were so happy with their professionalism and willingness to listen to what we were hoping to capture. We would 100% recommend working with Abella and will definitely use them for future events

5/12/18 Wedding - THANK YOU Gus (Gustavo) for being the BEST wedding photographer ever! You have captured our special day so incredibly beautifully, we don’t even know where to begin with the praise! From the second you started, it was nothing short of wonderful! So professional, but you certainly kept us all comfortable and having fun! We were working on a tighter timeframe than usual due to the bridal party’s timing returning from the salon, but Gus did not miss a beat! Our hope was to finish first look, formals, and bridal party photos before cocktail hour – and even on a tighter time frame, Gus made that happen! So impressive! EVERY photo we discussed previously was captured and so many more. He even suggested and organized photos we forgot to ask for, which was so appreciated because they will be cherished! We had a very large bridal party, and large family photos, so there were times I’m sure it was tricky to get everyone cooperating, but he did so with a smile on his face at all times! I was initially nervous about booking a single photographer, but Abella and Gus left nothing to be nervous about. Every special, important, and fun second of our wedding was captured in a way we could have only dreamed about! We also had Dylan as our videographer, and he was so awesome!! He was capturing all the special moments, from entrance to exit, and I cannot wait to see our video. He was so professional, and always happy! First dances, fun sing-a-longs on the dance floor, stairway walks – he got it all while NEVER being in the way! He also helped out with lighting in some of the night photos, which we truly appreciate! The photos are stunning, the experience was perfect, and I absolutely cannot speak highly enough about the entire experience!

Janet Torres

Being the most magical day in my life , Abellas studio did not let me down. The photographer was able to capture my special day and made my daughter feel very comfortable to take pictures. I can't stop looking at my photos and have played my same day editing over and over again. I highly recommend that you pay the extra for Same day editing. You won't regret. Thanks you abella's studio for making my wedding the best day of my life.

noelle prete

I have to start by saying that Abella's videographers are amazing, and my Same Day Edit and wedding video are both beautiful. However, the reason I am giving them three stars is because their photography is not worth the price you pay. For almost $8,000, I have pictures with people's arms and heads cut off. I have awkward photos with way too much head room. I am missing pictures with my brother and cousin because there was a "camera error", and now I will never have a picture of me with my brother on my wedding day. I originally posted a positive review for Abella before I received my photos, because they tell you that if you post a review and send them the screen shot, they will give you a discount when you receive your photos. However, after receiving my photos, I unfortunately had to change my review. It simply wasn't what you would expect for the money paid.

Meghan Vee

We are more than pleased with the number of pictures we received, however are disappointed with the quality and quantity of some of the most meaningful pictures. The pictures we received from our first dance are equal to the pictures my aunt provided us with. He made no directive to take posed pictures of me and my husband within our venue at all. We have, not even ONE posed picture from inside our venue. We took a handful after the mass at church, but there was no structure or guidance from the photographer. Thank God my family and bridal party were there as they told me to fix my hair, and adjusted my train, told me where to hold my bouquet or how to turn my shoulders. The photographer offered no “professional” recommendations for poses. During the group pictures, he placed two of the girls in the row of guys in the back, and their faces are completely blocked. It doesn’t look like it was taken staged or taken by a professional We had no interaction with our photographer until the NIGHT BEFORE, despite me asking Abella for ONE month if they could please let me know who the photographer would be so that I could let them know important people and poses I desired. They told me to fill out the piece of paper they emailed and they would fwd to the photographer. Well he called me the night before. I made it CLEAR as day that I wanted a picture with my 89 year old grandma. I am pretty sure he took ONE with her sitting down at her table, but it never was provided to me. I also told him I wanted a picture with us and our MOH and best man. I thought that was standard? Never happened. No staged pictures of me getting putting shoes on, or putting my earrings on, no pictures of me with each groomsmen or my husband with each bridesmaid- all things I ASKED for ahead of time. It was as if I paid all of this money for someone to just snap pictures without a professional eye. One of the pictures from the reception that he took was of our hashtag sign. The Intention was very nice, but the picture includes a dirty napkin and toothpick? That would have taken 3 seconds to move. The pictures of me coming down the aisle with my dad or back up with my husband, off centered, no zoom. We stand out no different than the guests in our pews. From the moment I got engaged I KNEW I wanted Abella. I believe the greatest downfall is that they told me I could select a photographer, but then did not enable this option. I believe there must be great photographers within this group as I have fallen in love with much of the work they displayed, I just unfortunately don’t feel the same about my own wedding do. I do believe the photographers intentions were good, and he was a nice man. I just wasn’t provided the wedding day pictures all women hope for and I am frustrated because I anticipated receiving them as I thought we had discussed this before. We did receive a lot of pictures of our guests dancing. We did receive A LOT of pictures. Overall, I could be much more displeased. I give Abella Studios 3.5 stars because I know things could have been MUCH worse and I could be much more disappointed. It is what is it. I write this to warn others who may read it to PLEASE ask your photographer to bring that list with them and ensure that they are taking the pictures, people and poses you ask for because this is your BIG DAY and you are paying for it and you are paying this photographer to do one job. On your wedding day you’re pulled in 23 directions and you need a photographer who will ensure that in the days and months to come you got the pictures and people you wanted.

I found Abella Studios through a Google search. The reviews of other couples had helped me, so I'd like to do the same. Abella Studios work speaks for itself. When my mother and I went to their studio we were shown a few pieces of their work. We literally cried watching other people's wedding videos because their work was so amazing. I knew instantly that they were perfect for my wedding. Everything with Abella went smoothly from start to finish. Our guests all mentioned how they didn't even know we had a videographer because they weren't intrusive to our ceremony or event. Honesty, I don't even remember seeing the videographers, yet they captured every single moment as if they were standing right next to us. We recently got to watch out wedding video. Even my husband for teary-eyed. It was absolutely beautiful. We got to watch things we never even know occurred and got to relive other things, like our first dance together as husband and wife. I recommend Abella Studios to anyone who wants to preserve the memories of their special day through videography and cinematography. Your wedding day goes by so quickly. Before you know it, it's the last song of the night. I chose to have a videographer because I didn't want to miss out on anything...and I'm glad I did because I got to see my handsome groom waiting up on the alter for me (looking as excited and nervous as could be), which I would have never seen otherwise.

William Mooney

We were very happy with this vendor through the entire process. All staff was helpful and accommodating. We were impressed with their professionalism and ideas from the photographer and would recommend them to everyone!

Rachel Zoll

We used Abella Studios for our videographers and could not have been happier with Pil & Dylan.While we are waiting for our videos, since our wedding was just a few weeks ago, we are optimistic that the final product will be just as amazing as how hard Pil & Dylan worked. They really worked their butts off from beginning to end never missing a moment, or a shot of the night! They also worked very closely with our photographer whom they never worked with before, but made it seem like they’ve known each other for years. We could tell it wasn’t just another job for them, but that they truly cared about getting our special day. We highly recommend Abella Studios!

Janine Knedlhans

We are so happy we went with Abella for photos/video! They were very responsive and helpful every step of the way. We highly recommend them to others!!

Naz Chinisaz

When it came to videographers I searched high and low to find the perfect match. As soon as I saw Abella’s Vimeo page I was blown away by the quality and creativity these videographers produced in each and every video. They truly capture the couple’s emotions and personalities in such a distinct manner. Since we were having a destination wedding 4 hours away in a state we were not familiar with, I requested we conduct a Skype session with Mark after hours. He not only agreed, but made sure he answered all questions in a professional and courteous manner. I had no doubt after that session that we were about to have the best videographers we could have dreamed of. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, and I felt like I had finally found the perfect team. They staff was always very responsive and kind on my phone calls and emails. Excellent customer service, and always willing to answer any questions we had. On the day of our wedding, our team of videographers Mark and Cameron arrived on time, and we felt very comfortable, as if we knew them for years. They were fun and friendly and worked so well with our photographers. They are truly artists and have an eye for life’s beautiful moments and capture details that one may not notice right away. I cannot wait to see the video and know it was the best investment of my entire life. At the end of the wedding all we are left with is memories of photo and video, so that is one area you should not skimp on, book with this vendor and you will not regret it! They are truly the cream of the crop, and I would highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you for being a part of our special day. Thanks Abella team!

Victoria Zanta

I found Abella Studios at a small expo where I viewed their photos taken at my venue, and I knew I had to have them. I got a great package deal from them that gave me so much for my value. I booked them over two years before my wedding and I was nervous that they would forget about me but they didn't. I received phone calls from the photographer, the cinematographer and the editor within the week of my wedding, all wanting to check the details to ensure my day went smoothly. It did! All of Abella's staff were professional, friendly and really cared about the quality of their work. They weren't like many other photographers where they were noticeable or in the way during my ceremony, and even during the reception they blended in. The same day edit was amazing, and people couldn't believe I got a video the day of my wedding - it looked like a movie. I would recommend them for every bride and groom. I can't wait to see my photos and the rest of the video.

Stephanie Le Jeune

I'm so happy we went with Abella Photography! We had Tim as our photographer and Joe as our videographer and they were just the best to work with because they made our day so easy. They were very patient and professional throughout the whole day. We took all our family pictures and portraits before the reception so we wouldn't miss a minute with our friends and family. When the reception started, it felt like they weren't even there. We cannot wait to see the video and pictures! Excellent and very experienced! Highly recommend!

Melissa Castoro

If you are getting married, don't think twice about Abella Studios. From the initial meeting to watching our Same Day Edit, we were completely blown away. We always felt like we were in great hands and they proved it at our wedding this weekend! I truly cannot rave about our experience with Abella enough. And we got drone footage which was so awesome!!! So many of our guests cried happy tears during our SDE after dinner. So professional, fun and one of the best choices we made for our wedding!!! Thank you so so much.

Vicky Yu

After having a horrible time looking videographers to work with, talking to Abella Studios was like a breath of fresh air . To give an example of the nightmare I went through with other companies, I was waiting for another cinematography company for over a month for a quote that they keep saying they will give to me. Three months and my wedding later I still have not received their quote. Abella's staff is super professional and it shows through their work. Their same day edits are amazing and captures all the right moments. For the songs in their videos, you will be given the option to choose from websites that Abella provides. There are completely free songs or copyrighted music you can buy. There are many packages to choose from ranging from around $2000-$4000. There are a lot of add on options as well. If you get both photography and video from them, you can ask if there are any discounts for booking them together. We chose the masterpiece set for both photography and cinematography. It was very expensive but completely worth it. Our photographer was Tom and our cinematographers were Davitte & Damian. Our Same Day Editor was Miguel. They did an amazing job! Our parents loved the same day edit and our guests were so astonished to see that such a great video was produced that same day. We got a lot of compliments and people wondering which company we used. We have not seen the photos yet, but I did manage to sneak a glance at the preview on the camera. It looked pretty nice from what I saw, so I am very excited to begin building my photo albums soon. The best thing that Abella offers for their photography services is that you get all the images the photographer takes. My husband and I are so happy that we decided to go with Abella Studios.

Nick S

Don't settle for average when you can have the best in the business at incredible value. Abella's professionalism, expertise and overall experience made our wedding day PERFECT! We did a fair amount of shopping around prior to our wedding and once we met with Abella Studios, Marc, and the rest of Abella's staff, it wasn't even close. Their packages are very accommodating and the quality of their pictures and videos is some of the best in the business. We had Tom, Pil, and Dillon work their magic from early in the morning until the final hour of the wedding. They didn't stop once! They captured every amazing moment, every facial expression, dance move, etc. all without being intrusive. They were available and willing to accommodate any on-the-spot request and of course came up with some thoughtful ideas of their own. In our opinion, pictures and videos are the most important vendor services in any wedding since you only live in those moments once and you only get once chance to trust a vendor to get it right - Abella was their every step of the way and really exceeding our expectations. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Abella Studios, the reviews speak for themselves - we wouldn't change a thing. Thank you Abella!!!

Madalina Ammiano

You will not be disappointed with Abella Studios. We had a recommendation for choosing Abella Studios from a friend who is also a makeup artist. We met with them in person and watched some of their trailers in video and viewed albums of other clients. We loved how natural and crisp and high definition all pictures and video had. They also had a standard package we loved because it catered to our needs. When we received our pictures... We absolutely loved our pictures! The formals came out stunning!!! Every picture taken was crystal clear with a chic and creative eye. We are so happy we used Abella Studios. Jessie our photographer didn t stop all day and all night. He made us feel comfortable at all times and was so easy to work with (and that s so important). We felt like we knew him for years although we only met him that day. We were in a heat wave that entire week and had been over 100 degrees, hotter than hot, Jessie was continuous with trying to capture the most beautiful moments inside and outside. He has such a good eye and we were taken away by how the colors blended and how every picture was just right. I cannot express how happy we are with our pictures. We will recommend using Abella to anybody we know! Book and you will not be disappointed and their prices cater to what you need and not in excess. Thank you once again for capturing our most special day and every moment worth remembering. Excellent job done. Thanks to everybody at Abella! Can t wait to work on the video next! Madalina & Michael Ammiano Wedding July 20th, 2013

Kristin Petrucelli

If you are thinking of choosing Abella for your special day, you will NOT be disappointed! The photographers and videographers were amazing, punctual and with us every step of the way for our big day! Not only did they make us feel like royalty, the pictures came out AMAZING!!!! We love Abella and will use them again in the future!

erik wahl

I do not understand how abella studio has a 5 star rating... first and foremost I do not even know where to start the pictures from our wedding were atrocious the 15 minute day edit basic with no creativity.. have not recieved our album or video.. they are liars and are actually terrible I have been to over 50 weddings with amazing photographers and abella studio has never been one of them... we were warned by more then one couple about how terrible they were and are we should have listened but we didnt.. I'm sure they will just pay to get this bad review removed so it will never see the light of day to destroy this joke of a "studio" unbelieveable for what they charge and what you get my wife has no pictures of her and her bridesmaids and none of them were in the same day edit absolute joke disgrace to the wedding industry

Evan Davis

Abella did photo and video for our wedding in 2015. Everyone there was exceptionally friendly and the photographers for our wedding worked to make sure we had all the pictures we were hoping for at the event. The office staff at Abella was also helpful after our wedding ended in picking out pictures for our album, producing a great video, and making sure we had everything from our contract. The team at Abella was great!

Being involved in all the intricate parts of wedding planning can get frustrating and stressful, especially when you’re sitting down with multiple vendors, looking at very similar items with drastically different prices. I knew that photography and videography were one of the most expensive things in the budget. I felt that once we did our exploring and research on hundreds of different companies all having both good and bad reviews that this task was becoming overwhelming. Then, we looked into Abella Studios. My wife saw them in a Wedding Expo. She knew that they were the one but I still wanted to do my research. We googled them and found out that they won a bunch of awards and had some pretty amazing samples online. We decided to have a sit down with them and talk things over. We decided on a pretty expensive package which included the same day edit and cinematography. I was a little scared to invest that amount of money but justified it by saying this is our visual record of such an important milestone in my life and the start of my life together with my wife. Well let me tell you, it was worth every penny. Abella Studios showed up early and eager to work. The photographers/videographers were dressed nice, acted very professional, and seemed genuinely happy to be attending our wedding as well. They were not pushy at all or invasive like some of you might be thinking it will and can be. They were very skilled on keeping in natural and set up some amazing photos. I am so happy we choose Abella Studios because the photos came out breath taking. Our biggest hit at the wedding was the SDE (same day edit). All of the footage that was taken from arriving at our venue, my wife getting ready, me getting ready, our first look moment, our ceremony, and to just after the first dances during the reception. They also spliced in our engagement video in the beginning of their video footage. They asked us what songs we wanted to play during the SDE and also synched the music to the video. IT WAS PERFECT! Everyone to this day almost 2 years later still talk about the video and always ask us to show them it again. I really can’t even explain how awesome Abella Studios is at doing what they do. Complete professionals and regardless of how much I speak highly about them, the proof is in the pudding. I highly recommend Abella Studios and can honestly tell you that it is money well spent.

Our Wedding Day was beautiful and I am so happy that Abella was able to preserve the special moments for us! We ordered photography and videography packages through Abella Studios. The shooters were so friendly and made the process of taking photos fun and easy. They were attentive and took photos/videos of everything we requested them, too. We got our products in a timely fashion, and the quality was outstanding. Our favorite part was the Same Day Edit. It left every guest at our wedding stunned. How could such a wonderful video be edited so quickly? Thanks, Abella!

For years I had been following Abella because I was in love with their work! I knew at some point I would want them to capture my wedding day. When my husband proposed, Abella was the first the vendor I called. I remember bringing my Nonna with me to the studio and she could not believe how beautiful their work was. Your wedding day goes by quickly. At some point, you even have to take a step back to try and remember the special moments. You are pulled in every direction. Abella was able to capture every moment. I couldn't be more happy with our pictures/footage! Everything is absolutely STUNNING! Thank you Abella and team, especially Milissa Sullivan! There was a point a few weeks before my wedding when I felt extremely overwhelmed. Millissa noticed it in my voice on the phone. She immediately called me back and talked me through it. Abella did more than just capture our wedding day, they truly supported us through the entire process! I plan to have Abella capture more special moments in our future!

Abella Studios did an amazing job with our wedding and engagement photos! The photographers and videographers were an absolute pleasure and worked very hard to capture all the important moments and angles. The same-day edit was truly incredible and all of our guests were wow-ed!

Tara Recchia

If your looking for a photographer/Videographer serious they are it! Nobody compares to Abella! Absolutely amazing! I can’t thank you all for making our day that much more stunning. The video and all the pictures that people are still talking about how they have never seen anything like the same day edit. If I could give more stars I would. You made our day flawless and easy. Thank you so much.

Noelle Prete

Abella did our photography and videography. Our Same Day Edit was absolutely perfect, and we can't stop watching it! Our bride/groom formals came beautiful. We received our photos about three weeks after our wedding, so we didn't have to wait long at all. Make sure if you have any photos you know you want you provide them with examples so they can be sure to capture it. They took over 1,500 pictures for us. I can't wait to see how our videos and album come out!

Our wedding on 9/23/17 was beautifully photographed. I can say that for sure. The photographer himself was very unclear as to what he wanted and denied us of a few silly photos we truly wanted. Everything went smoothly besides post wedding photo disasters. We STILL to this day, 6 months later have not received over 10 photos that were in the prints we saw at the beginning. I am truly upset especially because they were very important photos. We have given up on trying to get them from you. It’s too much stress and when you are sent the same thing 4 times with the same missing photos, you’re done attempting to get what you paid for. Disappointed but happy it’s done with. Thanks for beautiful photos Abella, just wish it was sent to us professionally. Thank you.

Nancy McKeen

I am at a loss for words as to how beautiful the same day edit (SDE) video turned out that Abella Studios did for my daughter‘s wedding. It is absolutely breathtaking and perfectly captures that very special day. It will provide wonderful memories for Carrie and Jason and all our family & friends, for years to come. Every one that views it is blown away! The Abella staff was a delight to work with; total professionals and the end product proves that. Again, I can’t thank you enough for this wonderful video. It is the best wedding present I ever could’ve given to my daughter and son-in-law.

We wanted to thank you so much for your amazing ability to capture the essence of Justin’s day in such an enchanting way. We absolutely loved the pictures you took and are so happy with the selections you have provided for us. You were able to include a variety of photos that made up our night and we cannot wait to share them with our friends and family. With the Bar Mitzvah now over, a photo is the only way to preserve this special moment. Your photos will absolutely succeed in doing this for us. We would recommend Abella Studios to anyone who is looking for a talented, professional photographer and videographer who is a joy to work with and can put you at ease every step of the way. Thank you again for making Justin’s day so special!

We were very pleased with our decision to choose Abella for our wedding photos/video! The photographer and videographer worked well together and were both professional. They pulled us aside for a few pictures during the reception. These pictures came out great and it only took a few minutes, so we didn't feel like we were missing out on the reception. We were able to view the photos about 2 weeks after the wedding. There is a great selection to choose from. We can't wait to view the video and trailer. Definitely would recommend.

Abella Studios is THE BEST! I work in the Bridal Industry so planning my wedding was a piece of cake because I know exactly who the top vendors are. All the brides that I work with highly recommended Abella Studios and so after doing my research I knew that I was set on booking them. Upon my first meeting, I knew that I was confident in my decision because not only do they do incredible work but they really took their time with me in answering all of my one-million questions. On the day of the wedding, the staff made me feel sooooo comfortable and I never really feel comfortable in front of the camera. The best part of all is that I kept forgetting that they were there! They weren’t in my face or in in my space- I didn’t feel crowded or overwhelmed by them and the best part of all is that I didn’t have a bright light following me around all night! As any bride these days, I found a ton of pictures that I loved on Pinterest and I e-mailed them to Abella Studios letting them know that those were the pictures that I wanted to capture/recreate and they did just that! Abella Studios is a top notch company, the best in their craft, and I give them 5 stars! My sister is next to get married and if not for anything else, I will make 100% sure that she uses Abella Studios!

My wife and I tried our best to find some companies that does cinematography. However, since there was a bundle for doing it with both cinematography and photography, we cancelled on our photographer (who was excellent as well) and decided to give Abella Studios a try. I'll be perfectly honest: the price was a little too much for me in the beginning. Between both the photography and cinematography, it came out to around $8000. Despite this, everything was excellent. They came on time, took lots of shots and lugged their equipment around to different places to help us capture our moment, and their Same Day Edit (SDE) was crazy good. We had lots of people ask us how they created such a professional video so quickly. Also, quick shoutout to our videographer Damian who we had a blast shooting with. Very fun guy and went along with our crazy ideas which made the video that much more interesting. Thanks for making my special day spectacular!

Jeremy Klempner

Last month my wife and I got married and when we we were wedding planning the one vendor we agreed that had to be booked is Abella Studios. We’ve seen the amazing work they do at our friends weddings and couldn’t be more excited to see our own video displayed. It starts from their staff who came into our homes and made the nerves we were feeling the day of the wedding, just having them around made it all fun. Their passion and joy for making our wedding video meant so much to us. I highly suggest Abella Studios if you really want to capture your beautiful memory!

Kyriaki Kipriadis

We picked Abella for our photography after my brother used them for his wedding last year. This is just speaking about the whole experience on our wedding day, since we haven't gotten copies of our photos yet. Our photographer was Tim C. and he was fantastic!! He was professional, funny, efficient and very nice. He was totally accommodating and was really flexible regarding our requests and timing throughout the day. I highly recommend him. We can't wait to get our photos!

jamie nyemchek

Abella covered our engagement shoot and our entire wedding - they exceeded our greatest expectations the whole way through. We were very serious about getting our Picture/Video vendor right since you only get to experience your wedding day once. I can't express enough how we couldn't be happier with choosing Abella. They were a pleasure to work with and they really have an amazing crew. The SDE video blew everyone away. The picture and video quality for the shots that they captured were spectacular. We would recommend Abella studios to anyone and everyone for the wedding of their dreams.

Jessica Hermo

I am so incredibly happy we found Abella Studios! Choosing a photographer was the only wedding decision I really struggled with- I wanted beautiful photography that wasn't too posed or cheesy, and a photographer I could trust. We interviewed several vendors and didn't feel like we'd found the right fit until we met with Abella. Samantha was our photographer for our special day, and I cannot say enough great things about her. I wanted some formal shots with lots of more photo-journalistic pictures mixed in, and she gave us EXACTLY what we wanted. She was completely unobtrusive while capturing all the special shots we wanted. She was on time, didn't miss a beat, and kept our portrait session right on schedule. She was also great with children; our flower girl and ring bearer occasionally needed some extra TLC to get them to cooperate, and she was excellent at getting beautiful shots with them. I really can't say enough positive things about our experience with Abella- if you're looking for a top notch wedding photographer, please consider Abella!

Sharon Szaro

We received our Wedding Album and we absolutely LOVE it. We are so pleased with Abella Studios, they have wonderful people working for them. The office was very kind and helpful before/during and after our Wedding. Tom our photographer captured so many wonderful photos as he quietly made his way around our event, he made us feel comfortable and he did an amazing job. Angelica worked with us to design a beautiful Album that we will view for many years. Thank You Abella for capturing our special day that we will forever treasure.

As I look back and reflect on my wedding day, I’m reminded by the kind and loving words from our family and friends who celebrated us. They told us our wedding was “magical” and the Same Day Edit by Abella gave them “chills”. I honestly couldn’t agree more. Our photographer captured every loving glance, every little sparkle in our eyes, every beautiful moment with our friends and family. Abella captured the true essence of who we were as a couple without us even knowing they were there. Its also important to note that we had a large bridal party (26 people total), and our photographer learned every name and was able to organize everyone quickly because of it which was extremely impressive. But what truly blew our guests away was the same day edit. It was amazing how flawless the editing of the footage was from that morning and how it was timed so perfectly to the music we selected. It brought everyone to tears, especially my own, as I was finally able to sit back and see all the hard work and planning that went into this wedding. Booking Abella was the best decision I made and worth every single cent, and I’m beyond excited that we opted for a longer edited video of our wedding day!!

John & Christine DeRosa

We used Abella studios for wedding photography, and they provided us with the most stunning memories of our wedding day! We received our images surprisingly quickly, and they are nothing short of the perfection that led us to work with them Working with Abella has been so efficient and straightforward: from our initial consult with Ryan, to preparing for our actual wedding day, to correspondence after for album design. Tomasz was our photographer and was truly fantastic. He was so dedicated to our day and went above and beyond to get breathtaking shots. We had so many stellar photos to choose from for our album, and we cannot wait to have the finished product as a perfect memory of the day. We enjoyed our album design session with Angelica and are grateful for her talents!

Rose Vilas

Abella studios was the best choice we made when planning our wedding. Professional and simply easy to work with! They made us feel like their top priority and knew exactly what we needed.

Justeen Carvale

Abella studios did our photography and cinematography for our wedding in February! It is unbelievable how they captured our day so perfectly. We are so thankful that we booked this company, with their amazing staff. Milissa was beyond helpful in planning our day and answering my (tons of) questions! Our two cinematographers, Mark and Domini went above and beyond to grab special moments. Tom, our photographer was fabulous! He truly engulfed the joy of the day in his photographs and made us feel amazing. We highly recommend Abella studios to anyone looking for their day to be captured perfectly! Thank you Abella!

Maria Vallejo

We used Abella Studios for our wedding video, but unfortunately hired another company for our photography. Unlike the photographers that we hired, the two videographers from Abella were courteous, professional and did their job seamlessly. They had the most assuring personalities and put us at ease when there were hiccups during the wedding and reception. They were creative in their vision and captured all of the most important moments without being invasive. Unfortunately, we had significant problems with our photographers. After the wedding, we learned that the photographers inexplicably did not to take any photos of the bride's family and friends. The photographers offered no explanation for their shoddy work and only minimally unapologetic. Even though Abella was unrelated to the photography company and had no obligation to help us, they did anything in their power to aid us in capturing pictures of the bride's family and friends to incorporate in our photo album. This was above and beyond anything that they needed to do. They showed compassion for our difficult situation. We were not just a customer to them. If we could do it all over again, we would have entrusted Abella with all of our photography and video needs. From their photographers to their even coordinator, Abella was exceptional. We absolutely and without hesitation recommend Abella to everyone. If we have any other major events that require photography and videography, Abella is the only place that we will use.

My husband and I are so pleased with Abella Studio's work. From the moment we walked into the office at the beginning stages of wedding planning to receiving our video last week it has been unforgettably amazing!! To the professionalism with the staff all the way to the videographer capturing the most amazing moments, I refer this company to anybody who wants to have a 5 star video!

Brooke Leahy

My wedding was on November 5th at the Mill in Spring Lake, NJ. We used Abella for videography. We were absolutely blown away by every single person we worked with. From Jade in the office to our day of videographers (Dylan and Damien) and our Same-day editor (Miguel). I absolutely loved how our same-day-edit turned out (I have probably watched it at least 50 times). Guests in attendance at the wedding could not stop talking about it and people we have shared it with who did not attend were equally blown away. We can't thank all of these people enough for helping to make our day perfect. We can not wait to see the full edited video. I highly recommend Abella studios!

After looking for a photography that would accommodate my needs as a Disabled person, Abella Studios did not hesitate to work with us, and we knew that we had found the one. From the beginning, Ryan was very warm, and I was not sure what i wanted other than to have a professional photographer at the wedding. Ryan was very patient and kind to go through every details to see what we wanted to include and he did not fail us. He is the person that you will want to be the photographer at your wedding and he worked the entire time by pulling us out frequently for our own “couple” shoots. I recalled that exactly moment when he asked us to follow him to take more shots, i told myself that what else would there be more to take shoots because i’ve felt that he had shoot enough, but he had surprised us! He knew every little gems of the venue where we were married at, The Palace, and i couldn’t have ask for a better photographer. He was so warm, considerate, and patient with us throughout the day/evening. From the beginning of the negotiation, discussion, and to the end of the reception. He had exceeded our expectations and when we saw the photos in the album. We couldn't believe how gorgeous the photos came out! Our families are still talking about the pictures and we have to thank Ryan for capturing the best moments.

Jason DeGenaro

My wife and I selected Abella Studios to film our wedding after watching their trailers online and meeting with them in person. They were professional, courteous, and very accommodating to our requests, including interviewing friends and family members about our relationship. At every level, from those who work in the office, to the actual videographers themselves, we could not have asked for more pleasant people to work with. Mark did an excellent job on our Same Day Edit. Many of our guests had tears in their eyes and told us how beautiful it was. They said they had never seen such great work. It was actually one of our favorite parts of the entire wedding day. I would highly recommend using Abella Studios and cannot wait to see our wedding video when it is completed! Many couples choose to omit videography or have a friend or family member take footage in an effort to save costs. We know that the expenses for everything really do start to add up, but now that the wedding is over, we can relive our beautiful day and watch friends and family members dancing, cheering and doing toasts, etc. -- those are moments we'll never get back again, and we are SO THANKFUL that we decided to go with a professional and reputable company as amazing as Abella Studios. Hire them -- you'll be grateful you did, too.

Alyssa Davis

My husband and I used Abella for our wedding and had a great experience. The team was so nice and helpful. The pictures look beautiful! My brother is even using them for his upcoming wedding!

Jaci Rahey

Abella Studios was the obvious choice when picking out a photographer for our wedding day. Ryan was soo helpful and accommodating for all our needs and special shots that we wanted done. My husband and I are not very comfortable in front of the camera but Ryan made it all so easy for us. We are really looking forward to seeing the pictures Ryan captured of the greatest day of our lives.
