    Amazing Photographer Joey for our Wedding

    5th avenue digital set us up with the most amazing photographer Joey! He was so easy to work with, was fun and really captured our wedding day better then i could have ever expected. I would use Joey again in a heart beat! He really went above and beyond, there was no part of the evening that wasn't captured. He also took amazing portrait shots of my husband and I. We couldn't be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Thank you Joey!

    Awesome Experience!

    while we have not yet seen the photos, I can tell they will come out great. David had a blast as well - when a Photographer shows you a few in camera pictures, you know he did something special.

    simply amazing!

    We had a great experience with 5th Avenue Digital! Everyone was super easy to work with when choosing which plan and photographer was right for us. Emmanuel was a pleasure to have photograph our wedding. He was creative and so fun! He was very flexible with our requests and really tried to make sure we had a good time while taking the pictures. He wasn't pushy at all which was huge for us. ALL of our pictures (over 1800 of them) came out GREAT! We love them and are currently having trouble picking JUST 50 of them for our album. Everyone looks like they had such a great time at our wedding and it's really special to be able to have that captured. I would recommend Emmanuel and 5th Avenue Digital to anyone in the market for a wedding photographer who strives to capture the beauty of your entire day.

    David from 5th Ave took the pictures for our engagement pictures and we felt so comfortable with him. We were so excited to use him for our wedding day as well. He made us feel so comfortable and we obviously wanted standard pictures with family and the two of us, but we loved the candid pictures that he took the most. They were all so natural looking. When we got our 2100+ pictures back!! It was impossible to pick which ones we wanted in our album - so we had to upgrade and add more pages to the book :). We worked with Elizabeth and Hannah on arranging our album and they were crucial into helping us narrow down our MANY photos to around 100. Our album is beautiful - even the box it came in is beautiful. It was a pleasure working with everyone on the team!

    We used 5th Avenue digital for our engagement, wedding, and photo booth. We used Kari for our engagement and wedding photos and honestly if you don't use her you are an idiot. She was the best part of our wedding! We had so many pictures to choose from for both events. My friends kept calling her the ninja because they would do something and see a flash - and the pictures prove that. We have amazing portraits and great candid shots.

    Our engagement shoot was on the USCG base were my husband worked at the time. It was freezing and you cannot tell from the pictures. We also had our dog in the shoot with us and she was great with him! On my wedding day, I had a stomach bug and wasn't feeling the best - but you would never even notice with the pictures she got. Thank you Kari!!!!!

    The YouBooth is great because the area is big enough to fit a crowd and the pictures are full size!

    We used Kari for our engagement and wedding photos and loved her! She is not only creative, meticulous, and energized, but also gives you a sense of ease in front of the camera which is very comforting. So comforting, in fact, that she also shot my boudoir book for my wedding gift to my husband! I would highly recommend it for any brides looking for a unique but fun wedding gift for your future spouse!

    All of the pictures she shot on our wedding day turned out great! It was so fun to receive them back and relive our wedding day all over again. I would highly recommend using 5th Avenue Digital and Kari Otero.

    Elizabeth at 5th Avenue Digital was amazing! She and her team were professional and the photography was spectacular. We feel lucky that we chose them. If you are looking for the best, look no further!

    We had a great experience with 5th Avenue Digital and our photographer, Jesse Anders. We found them to be completely professional and easy to work with. They got our pictures to us so quickly and were very responsive throughout the process of our engagement shoot and wedding. When their server went down (a Time Warner problem) right around the time our wedding gallery was ready, they hand delivered a dvd of all pictures so that we would not have to wait an extra day to see them! We would wholeheartedly recommend using them for any event!

    I used 5th Avenue Digital for my engagement and wedding photos. Fred Fogg from Fred Fogg Productions recommended them to me and even recommended our photographer David. David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He traveled all the way to Philadelphia for our engagement photo shoot in the city last February. He was on time, professional and extremely detail oriented which is one of the things I loved about him. We got married on NYE at The Palace at Somerset Park and David and his assistant did such an amazing job. They both worked so hard throughout the day I give them a lot of credit considering they were there from 1PM-1AM on NYE. I am thrilled with the way our wedding pictures turned out and not to mention we received our final pictures just 2 weeks after the wedding! Elizabeth and her team were a joy to work with, she was always quick to respond and has a talented team. I highly recommend them!

    Traditional and Outdated Photography

    I booked 5th Ave Digital photographer as they were a recommended vendor of my venue. They were easy to book, the photographer showed up on time and the photos were turned around quickly.

    The logistics were easy but unfortunately I was not happy with the end product of the photos. Prior to my wedding day, I was asked to fill out a form providing event details and some special shots that were important to me to capture. Sadly, the photographer capture very few of the special shots and I had limited photos to chose from. When I expressed my disappointment, the owner told me the timeline didn’t allow enough time for the photographer and I was shocked to hear this as she had the timeline information before the wedding and never expressed concern about her team needing more time.

    I found the owner Elizabeth difficult to work with. When I expressed my dissatisfaction with the photos she offered little solutions. I expressed to her I didn’t have the budget to build an album beyond what was included in the package I already paid for up front. She continued to push me to spend more even though I really couldn’t afford it. For example, she encouraged more photos to be added to the album for an additional fee, buying multiple albums for relatives and when I asked to switch some pictures out for others in the design process she would only do it for an additional design fees even though the total photo count was within the photo count limit of the original album I purchased. In the end, I felt frustrated and disappointed and chose to not even have an album printed even though I paid for it.

    Millennial brides, this is an extremely traditional company and the photography style is dated. It does not match the creative and modern content you see other photographers produce. I would not recommend this vendor.

    5th Avenue Digital Photography's reply:

    I’m so sorry you’re disappointed in your experience with us. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter to us who is right or wrong. This is the most important day of your life, and we don’t want you walking away from this relationship with anything less than your expectations exceeded. We are so sorry that this isn’t how you feel, truly, and we wish would could make this right.
    That said, it should be noted that there was extensive communication in advance of the wedding that your tight timeline would not allow time for every one of the requested shots in the time allotted. We did our best to achieve all your requests in the time we had available to us after the ceremony. When creating an album, we were again in the position where what was being asked of us was not possible within the scope of your purchase. The natural next step would be to ask you if you would like to add more pictures to the base number you contracted for. We always want to be flexible, but redesigns and upgrades are costly, and we need to be compensated for this work. These policies are outlined up front.
    When you picked mostly posed images of the two of you for your album, instead of adding some of the more modern photojournalistic pictures, you re correct, the design is very traditional. It does not mean we didn’t have many more modern shots to choose from.
    Throughout this process, important decisions had to be made to prioritize either time or specific photo requests, and either album upgrades or budget. These decisions ultimately are the brides to make, and we do everything we can to make sure those choices are well informed in advance of working together. We are very sorry that, in this instance, we were unable to accommodate your expectations under your given schedule and budget.
    Should you wish to re-create a more modern version of your wedding day with the other images we took, We are happy to revisit. Elizabeth
