Yes! Yes! Yes! Stephen and Sonia really did an amazing job on my wedding pictures! They are very professional and work great as a husband/wife team. You cannot get a better price for the package they provide you. I have recommended them to friends that are getting married and will continue to recommend them. I will definitely be using them in the future for family photos! Thanks again! Josie and John

Stephen & Sonia: Thank you so much for everything. (Sorry for our late review, but, as the two of you know, the first few months of marriage can be a little hectic...) We cannot thank you enough for having made our day memorable and beautiful! Out photos were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, and all who have seen them agree that the two of... you are incredibly talented. Your attention to detail was impeccable and your creativity refreshing! You stand out among the rest, in that you were more like friends than photographers. You make a wonderful team, and you can be sure that Justin and I will refer you to all in need of photographers. Thanks so much, Stephen and Sonia! PS: For those of you in need of photographers to capture an upcoming special event, LOOK NO FURTHER! Stephen and Sonia are the BEST CHOICE and we were extremely blessed to find them.

I must admit that I was as cynical as they get, and if my parents wouldn't have been paying for my photography, I would have probably just settled for the average crappy wedding photos that my friends all got for their weddings and just chalked it up as "our wedding photos that everyone looks at for a minute or two, and then gracefully finds something else to move on to". And why not? That's what we've done when we look at our friends albums... (Whatever they paid, even if it was free, it was too much!) But, when my parents hired Stephen and Sonya to photograph our wedding, we knew we had something special happening as soon as we started talking to them.



They made everything feel fun and my guests totally loved them. The conversations we had even before the wedding really made me feel comfortable and special too... but the real thing that honestly surpassed all my wildest dreams was the final pictures! I was totally shocked and in complete awe by the beauty and thoughtfulness that their photos showed. It made me cry to see myself so beautiful and happy that day, in a way that I've never seen myself before. Even my husband got a bit misty!



About the day, you've turned a skeptic into a passionate believer! NEXT, you're doing our maternity photos, family photos, and I'll think of other reasons to have you back too!

We wanted to THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING!!!! You have given us the BEST photos, customer service, prices, attention, response time to our questions, and flexibility. You are both very personable and really showed us that you care about the quality of our wedding and engagement pics!! We feel so lucky to have come across you! We appreciate the timeliness of our sneak previews of pics and the variety of pictures. You really worked with our budget, which is really important to us! We always really appreciated how you made yourselves so available to us to answer our questions or requests - you guys are so good at that! The next picture event we have we are definitely coming back to you! Thanks again and we will continue to refer you to everyone we know!

There's so much to RAVE about! We loved everything Stephen & Sonia did! They took time to understand what we wanted ahead of time, and were fast and professional, and surprised us with their organizational skills, yet they still made things fun and made the photo part of the day a real joy. My guests loved them too and now my maid of honor and 2 of my friends have used them as well! We are still marveling about our good fortune in finding 'About The Day'!

Stephen and Sonia are so very talented! Alan and I will be married 5 years in October - yes I'm late on the review. They were amazing - I couldn't have found a better photographer. They fit in nicely with our friends and family and captured the day perfectly! They did our engagement photos and wedding photos and they turned out amazing. We still have people commenting on our photos. I recently contacted them for another event and they couldn't have been more accommodating. I always recommend them to any of my friends getting married. It's nice to find not only genuine people but also with such great talent. Thanks Stephen and Sonia for capturing our perfect day!

Our first son became a Bar Mitzvah in April here in New York and Stephen captured the event perfectly! The photos are beautiful and will be treasured in our family for years to come. Stephen was not at all intrusive, but he managed to catch every special moment; many I don't even remember happening and looking back I'm so thankful that I hired someone so proficient and capable, and yet a total pleasure to work with. Thanks to About the Day for helping to make the day so perfect!

Thank you so much Sonia. You made our daughters Quinceñera a total dream come true! I didn't even have time to really enjoy things or take it all in until we looked at the photos you took... and we saw your work, we were absolutely astonished at the beauty that you see through your lens and the way you've allowed us to relive those moments! Also, expect more calls from our friends too! They were so excited to know you'll come here for their kids too. Thank you again. You were perfect!

Our business was planning a 50th Birthday party for my boss and we needed a full historical montage to present to the audience and I was unsure of where to even begin. Thankfully I called and talked to Stephen and he not only was helpful and courteous (even when I think he didn't expect to get any work from me) to the point where I decided "This guy really knows his stuff and I'd be a fool not to hire him for this job", and I did. The presentation Stephen put together was so impressive that we had a hard time changing the subject to anything else but his presentation the rest of the night! Thank you so much for the awesome work did, and the helpfulness you showed me. Your business really stands out for those reasons!

How can I ever find the words to thank you guys properly? I really felt wonderful on my wedding day, but after seeing the pictures Sonia took of me in my dress with sun behind me, I felt like a super model for the first time in my life and it was the best feeling ever! My husband is going around showing all his friends (which he's never done before) too, so I know it's not just me that LOVES them. I don't know how you did it, but the pictures are SO amazing that we cannot believe it's really us in them! You captured our playful sides and still made it seem so romantic and elegant. You truly are a magician with a lens and I'm going to tell everyone about you guys and how awesome you are!

Thanks so much Stephen and Sonia! I was very nervous about finding you guys on the internet, but you convinced me with your absolutely beautiful pictures and high praise from couples all over the country. In the end, you won me over and I'm extremely happy with my choice! My family and friends also came up during and after the wedding to ask "who are these guys?--they are awesome!" They also were shocked when I told them you were from across the US... and I found you online. The pictures ended up awesome, and you were the best people to work with. Seriously! Thanks so much, and I hope to see you again when some of my other friends get married. We definitely recommend you guys to them. Thanks!

John and I are so glad that we decided to have our wedding photos done by About the Day. We were delighted by our photos and couldn't believe that they captured our wedding day in such a Special and Beautiful way. Stephen & Sonia caught our special moment in time with beautiful photos we will cherish for a lifetime. They were very flexible and happily fulfilled our requests for special photographic shots. Stephen & Sonia were courteous, professional, and had a really great sense of humor that put everyone at ease and made the photo taking really fun. We wholeheartedly recommend About the Day to everyone we know! Thanks Again.

Stephen and Sonia (About The Day) are a great couple and being so close in age to us and so friendly to everyone, we felt like they were part of the celebration as well and just fit in so nicely with everything while doing such an outstanding job. The pictures they took were great and they were very creative with angles, lighting and extra effects that can be done with photos. We choose their best package they offer and are extremely happy with the results. Photography for a wedding is so important because the pictures can last forever so we are very pleased we picked two amazing people that really helped capture our day and we'll be glad to show the results off to everyone including our future generations one day. Thanks again for doing such a great job and for being so personable as to make the business portion and the photo shoots just as fun as everything else that day!

Todd and I had a limited budget but once we found "About The Day Wedding Photography" we knew that we would cut corners elsewhere to make sure their services were at our wedding and it was money well spent. I almost never write reviews unless things are bad but when I thought I had a chance to tell anyone and everyone about my wedding/ engagment photo/ video experience I thought to myself "Absolutely! I want everyone to know how awesome Stephen & Sonia were." It's been 5 years since my wedding and if you were to ask me what my favorite things were from my wedding were I would say hands down my new husband... followed closely by "About The Day". I am so grateful for the memories that they captured for us from our beautiful day. The flowers from the day will wilt, the food digest, the party atmosphere will loose it's luster in the crevices of our mind, but my photos and videos will bring back that magical time when the world was ours and we vowed to be together forever. You can't put a price on that but when you do be assured that "About The Day" is worth every penny and is money well spent!

We ran across About the Day on the Knot and after doing some price comparisons, we decided to look into what they had to offer. From the day we met Sonia/Stephen, we knew we wanted them for our special day. We got the Platinum Package and it was well worth the cost. We were married in October 2005 and loved, Loved, LOVED everything about them. They make you so comfortable that on the big day, you forget the camera is rolling. The photos were amazing, the video exceeded our expectations (caught moments I missed the first time around), but the thing that MADE the wedding was the love story. We showed it at our reception and it pulled everything together. We've been married for 3 years now and I still have people come up and tell me how much they loved it.



Stephen/Sonia: I wanted a wedding that not only I would love, but that my guests would enjoy and remember, as well. You helped make that happen for us. It was the first day of our life together and you caught the moments that we will remember forever. Thank you!!

Platinum Photography and Videography Package



We used Stephen and Sonia from About The Day for our July 2005 wedding, and wow...what an amazing experience. Not only did we get great treatment up to the wedding day, but they were critical in making our day so special. When rain came (as it often does in Washington), they helped us move the ceremony indoors and gave us pointers on how to get the most from the light available...so not only would it look good in our photos and video, but for us and our guests as well. They were fun, discreet, and the best wedding purchase we ever made.



What we loved...



~The documentary (love story) - It was the hit of the reception! We still hear about how cool it is.

~The online account - Everyone got to see our photos, and they were available before we even got back from the honeymoon!

~The flexibility - I asked for a special (and tough to create) photo to be taken on the day of, and they captured it!

~The service - I'm big on customer service, and Stephen and Sonia never made us feel like a number. They were honest, real, and refreshing...sometimes that's hard to find when you're planning a wedding.

~Editing style - Elegant and timeless...no cheesy effects or music anywhere. And the video is the perfect length!

~Photos - I was all about the video, but I didn't leave our photos to chance. We got a perfect blend of tradional and candid photos to tell the story of our day.

~DVD cover - I was so excited about this! They make it look like an actual movie cover. Their graphic skills are amazing, but it never takes away from the whole picture...they don't use crazy trendy techniques for the sake of using them...it all works together beautifully.



Three years later, and we just received another request to show our wedding video!

Stephen and Sonia made our wedding day memories last forever. They captured the joy and love of the day while making us feel relaxed. During the ceremony they managed to capture all of the important details without ever being distracting or noticeable. I recommended About The Day to my sister and my best friend, both of who are using them. I was overjoyed with the quality of the photographs they took. I have been in 4 weddings in the past year, and everyone who did not use "About The Day" told me they wish they would have! Thanks Stephen and Sonia, you were a true pleasure to work with!

You should know I had been planning my fairytale wedding for years; long before I even had met my future husband or even had considered who that might be. I know that I was probably setting my expectations way too high because of the dreams and fantasies I'd been accumulating over all that time? Maybe so, but I can't help it! There were things like a unbalanced cake that fell to the floor and a sick groomsman that had to be hospitalized later that evening that I most certainly never considered. Yet, I have to think very hard about what disappointed me on that day because my recollection is based mostly on what I have to show from it now.



About the Day [Sonia & Stephen] made everything seem exactly how it was pictured in my head and the day grows more special as time goes by and my memories need refreshing. My album is GORGEOUS and the pictures amazed me... They still amaze me! Did we really look that good?! :) Wow!



Sonia was so easy to work with and my bridesmaids all loved her! Two of them have since used her for their weddings. And Stephen was absolutely hilarious to work with; keeping my family entertained and happy while he took their photos, and that was no small task - believe me! I got almost as many complements on my choice in Photographers and I did about my choice in my dress.



It's an honor to "RAVE" about them [Sonia & Stephen] and their abilities. "About The Day" did such a good job and impressed everyone so much that I'd say "it's a crime to not consider them". Seriously!

We were so impressed with Stephen and Sonia right from the start. We read about them in their "Bio" page on their website and already felt that we'd work well with them, and talking with them on the phone almost cemented the deal before we'd even met them!

We had a destination wedding in Sweden and our big reception back here in New Jersey, and we didn't think we'd be able to get a team of photographers or cover both events without paying a huge fortune for doing it... We didn't even think it was possible... but we were wrong! We had originally set out just to find a destination photographer and see what they'd suggest, and when we Google'd "Destination Wedding Photography" we were just blessed enough to see About The Day's website right there, and it was just what we were looking for.

I talked with Stephen at first and he spent time talking, explaining, listening, and even helping out with some great suggestions that we'd never even considered... and he wasn't like an "up selling" sales person either. I was impressed that he was genuinely trying to understand what I wanted and trying to make it happen for me.

It didn't take long for Drew and I to realize we'd been blessed to find Stephen & Sonia amongst all the craziness of planning a wedding and finding our professional help, and that we'd be using them for our wedding.

They had an awesome package that included Photography & Videography, and they were able to keep the price below what several local NJ companies where asking... without even adding in travel costs! We couldn't believe it!



We were featured in their September 2007 Blog and now have our album as one of the sample albums on their site as well. (I'm sure if you asked them, they'd probably tell you more about our situation... but I'm limited in this review and have to keep it short... or I'd go on all day!)

I highly recommend that you consider About The Day and what they offer, no matter where you are planning your wedding. Without a doubt, of every choice I made regarding my wedding, they were the best (not counting my new husband, of course). ---Cherry
