    Amazing experience and even better pictures

    Adam has been a good friend of ours for some time now, so it was a no brainer when it came to deciding who was going to do our engagement shoot. Not only does Adam capture incredibly beautiful and in the moment pictures, he is also an incredible professional with such a warm and comfortable presence. Any nerves or uncertainties we had disappeared instantly as Adam assured us that being ourselves was exactly what he wanted to capture. The end result is nothing short of perfect; Adam managed to capture both the candid, posed and perfectly imperfect moments, and put together a package of pictures that is going to make it nearly impossible to choose just a few from.

    I cannot recommend Adam enough. As I've said at least a hundred times to everyone I know at this point: the man is a magician with a camera.

    The MVP of Our Wedding!

    What can't be said about Adam? I could at the very least sum it up by saying that on my wedding day, in dealing with the vicissitudes that come about with such a momentous occasion, Adam kept me sane. In a sea of sprinting headless chickens that was the defining characteristic of the lead-up to our guests arriving, Adam approached every worry and complication with the calm, confident ease of a consummate professional. His manner of speaking and connecting with us went beyond the necessities of a client/vendor relationship—we felt cared for, protected, and made to feel our best so we would look our best.

    And look our best we did! Thanks to Adam's resourcefulness, we were able to take the most advantage of magic hour as he positioned us in just the right places to let the images of our first look play with the crepuscular light. As November night fell upon the venue, Adam quickly pivoted the strategy for how we would get our remaining family portraits in, while still being able to imbue it with the warmth that he was so receptive to making happen in our prep calls.

    Ultimately, the next day, my wife and I woke up and made an informal list of our MVP vendors (as one does), and Adam came out of the top of that list. A gifted photographer who truly loves what he does, Adam will be getting a call from us every time our lives together need documentation henceforth. We hope to see him several more times in the coming years; we know you'll feel the same!

    Phenomenal - hire him!!

    We are thrilled to write this review, because Adam was straight up phenomenal! When we first met with him, he immediately understood our vibe – we wanted to focus on candid shots and capturing the energy of the day, and not stress too much about posed photos or perfect lighting or strict timelines.

    On the day of, Adam fully lived up to that. He was incredibly calm and good natured and never got flustered, even when we did. He arrived perfectly on time and was ready to hit the ground running after just a few minutes. He started by giving us some great guidance about how to capture the best shots, delivering all sorts of advice and suggestions in a clear but laid back way. He emphasized the importance of us being natural together for our couple photos, and worked hard throughout the day to make sure we felt at ease with him and with each other. He was also an absolute pro with our families and friends. He easily corralled our family for group photos and was able to quickly move through the long list of shots we wanted. He was also flexible and accommodating, happy to add to our list of photos on the fly.

    During the ceremony, Adam was so smooth that we nearly forgot he was there, yet he still made sure to get all the shots we needed. Similarly, at the cocktail hour, he was extremely prolific, splitting his time between getting photos of large unruly groups of cousins and college friends, and milling around the party grabbing candids of folks chatting at the bar, eating appetizers, and goofing around.

    Finally, the reception. From the looks of the photos we’ve seen so far, Adam was everywhere! He was always within reach when we wanted him, but somehow still made his presence scarce. He bobbed and weaved around our family as we did a first dance with all of our parents and siblings, capturing that all important, once in a lifetime moment. Later in the night, he made use of a professional light to get higher quality dance floor photos.

    For couples who want to make sure they capture all the key moments, but also want someone who won't make the wedding only about the photos, Adam is your guy. He’s relaxed but in control, and an excellent communicator. He’s also a truly lovely wedding guest – we genuinely enjoyed hanging out with him! Highly recommend to any and all for their big day.

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    Natasha,

    It was an absolute honor and pleasure to spend the day with you two, your friends and your incredibly sweet (and fun) family. I can't tell you how wonderful it was meeting all of the important people in your lives, and hearing so many wonderful stories about you two, especially during the ceremony. I honestly wish I could do it all over again. It was such an outstanding day, and will sit in my heart long after I retire. Thank you for letting me be a part of such an important day in your lives.

    Beautiful photos

    We are so lucky to have worked with Adam & Michelle on our wedding day. They were super cool and easy to work with and made the day much less stressful than it could have been. We just got some sneak peeks of our wedding photos, and are already in love with how they turned out. We appreciate his professionalism and ability to capture all the moments of the day. We bonded over our love for ice cream between photos and learned what a blackbird sounds like. He kept us on track with our timeline yet we never felt rushed. When something came up unexpected at the end of the night, Adam and Michelle were flexible and stayed later than planned, which we are extremely grateful for. Thank you both for being a part of our day and we hope to stay friends!

    Adam is our favorite professional photographer

    We knew Adam would mesh well with us from the first time we spoke to him. He is so down to earth, pleasant, and funny. We did our engagement shoot about a year before the wedding, in our neighborhood, and it was a lot of fun getting to meet and interact with Adam (and Michelle). On the wedding day, Adam continued to be awesome. We hired solely Adam for photography because we had a smaller guest count. For us, talking to Adam felt like talking to an old friend, someone relatable and whom we love to hang out with. His photography skill is excellent- kept it super efficient and fun and covered so much at the same time. Our guests raved about Adam too! He is humble and appreciative throughout our wedding day- we are grateful to have him as our photographer.

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    Hanna, thank you so much for your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure shooting for you and Jake, and I extend that to your wonderful friends and family as well. Everyone made the day so enjoyable, including the fantastic staff at Bloominghill Farm. I had a wonderful time, and I genuinely hope that you, your friends, and your family will cherish the pictures for many years to come.

    An Exceptional Talent and Cool Person

    Adam is able to capture people looking gorgeous, in great moments, while somehow also getting something of their personality in the picture. It's a talent and a skill and I'm very grateful we had him at our wedding. I would hire him for any future photography needs.

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    It was a genuine pleasure working with you two, and meeting your friends and family. Even the music was excellent! Would do it again in a heartbeat.

    Amazing Wedding Photography Experience!

    My husband and I absolutely loved working with Adam for our wedding in April 2023. It was a positive experience working with him and his partner Michelle every step of the way - from the initial communication and planning, to the engagement shoot, to the big day! He was particularly helpful with planning the timeline of the wedding day (i.e. when to arrive at the venue for photos, when to do the first look, etc.) - I was grateful to have help with this! Most importantly - he helped me and my husband feel comfortable taking photos. I am very shy and feel awkward in front of a camera - Adam and Michelle were so friendly and joked around with us to help us feel comfortable. The result was amazing - our engagement and wedding photos were beautiful, and we looked so natural and relaxed. Adam really captured the spirit and romance of our wedding day. There were so many incredible candids of us, our bridal party and family, and our guests. If you are looking for soft, romantic, natural wedding and engagement photos, with someone who is both professional and fun to work with - I definitely recommend Adam!

    Great Wedding Vendor Team

    Adam and Michelle are an amazing photography team! I worked with them on a wedding in CT ( I am a planner) and their attention to detail, timeliness and responsiveness are top tier. Don't hesitate to book them!

    Amazing photographer, amazing person!

    Adam did a flat-out incredible job as our wedding photographer,
    and was such a pleasure to work with throughout the whole process. First and foremost, the photos he captured at our wedding completely blew us away. We were very opinionated about the types of shots and general look we were hoping for (I'm sure we weren't the easiest to work with!), and Adam totally nailed it — the final results were even better than we had imagined.

    Beyond the quality of his work, Adam went above and beyond to be accommodating and easy to work with. He was friendly and fun to work with at every interaction, and his skill and experience put us at ease and made the photography portion one of the highlights of our wedding. We can't recommend Adam enough!

    Amazing 10/10!

    Highly highly recommend! We could not love our pictures more and couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Adam was right on time, made us feel relaxed, let us be ourselves and made the process feel so natural and normal. He had a great eye for picking out beautiful backgrounds, and provided a mix of close up, backgrounds shots, and black/white shots, giving us plenty of variety to choose from. I have never enjoyed looking at pictures of myself, and he managed to truly capture my and my fiance's happiness and love. He was a pleasure to be around, keeping conversation going and making jokes throughout. We had such a great experience with Adam. 10/10!

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    I legitimately got choked up reading this. Michelle and I can't tell you how much we appreciate hearing these things. It may sound cliché, but it makes everything we do worth it.

    Thank you Adam!

    I had a terrible first photographer (he had taken our engagement photos and as soon as we received them we were horrified and began looking for a different photographer) and I was desperate for a new photographer. From the moment I reached out to Adam, he was responsive and empathic towards our dilemma. He shared some samples of his work and I was completely blown away by how beautiful his work was. We re-did the engagement shoot with him and the photos were absolutely incredible! He put us at ease the whole time, kept us laughing and conversing, and captured our love perfectly. For the first time I felt secure that our wedding photos would be amazing -- and they were. We just got our wedding photos back and they were so beautiful that I was in tears looking at them. Adam is well worth the $, especially for something as important as a wedding. I'm so grateful that I will forever have these beautiful pictures to look back at this special day.

    Amazing!!!

    I planned a wedding that Adam provided photography services for in July 2021. All I have to say is that Adam is excellent! His professionalism made the day go very smoothly. He was very responsive during the planning process and respectful of the timeline we provided. I could see that he made the couple feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the day. He also had creative ideas on how to eternize their special day.

    Thank you Adam & Michelle!

    Adam and Michelle are very skilled, very talented artists - who are most importantly, good people! We were looking for a photographer that would document our wedding day, rather than pose us through every minute of it. We were so lucky to have found Adam & Michelle, who were cool with complimenting their approach to us and striking a perfect balance of loose posing and plenty of candids. Other photographers we met with literally laughed in our face when we said we'd like to enjoy 'some' of our cocktail hour and another insisted if we didn't do a first look, we were setting ourselves up for failure...welp with Adam and Michelle we did get to enjoy some of our cocktail hour and they got incredible shots of us during the ceremony. All of this not mentioning that we had to reschedule our wedding due to covid, and they were extremely thoughtful and accommodating through that process.

    Recommend Adam for everyone

    Adam is an absolutely amazing photographer, first and foremost. The pictures he took for my engagement shoot as well as my wedding are so beautiful, my husband and I love them so much. I’ve gotten endless compliments from friends/family/strangers about how amazing the photos are. On top of that, Adam is a joy to work with. He’s extremely professional, but on top of that and even more important he makes the experience of being photographed fun. He makes you laugh through any awkward moment and chats with you the whole time to make you feel comfortable and natural. He also gives great, simple direction to help guide the shoot and make it flow naturally. We really can not say enough good words about Adam and whole-heartedly recommend him if you’re looking for a wedding photographer!

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    Jess,

    Thank you so, so much for the kind words. On a cold day, you were so warm and graceful. We were lucky to have been a part of it, and hope you and John love the pictures for decades to come.

    Run, don't walk!

    Adam did the DAMN thing!!! I'm very glad we moved forward with him for our day. He has a transparent yet collaborative approach. He gave us honest guidance about what works/what doesn't. He helped us feel comfortable in what could be an awkward situation (engagement photos in the middle of midtown manhattan at rush hour). We've received so many compliments on our engagement photos and the few wedding photos we've received so far. I cannot wait to see all of them. Adam was also so helpful and accommodating with requests (such as requests for different photos or modification to the post-edits of photos) and we appreciated that. Thank you to Adam and his team!

    Amazing wedding photographer!!

    Adam and Michelle were absolutely amazing. They made us feel comfortable both on our wedding day and during our engagement shoot - and they were a perfect blend of professional and silly so that we never felt too anxious or nervous during the big day. When they sent over the photos for us to browse after the wedding we were simply awe-struck. The photos were gorgeous, unique, and totally captured the essence of us, and the day. I recommend Adam Ciccarino Photography without hesitation - especially if you want to avoid cookie cutter wedding photos for something far more special and timeless.

    Genuine person, most gorgeous photos

    Grateful to have had Adam and his crew on board as our wedding photographers. Adam is a great communicator, providing information and answering questions promptly and clearly. He is also a great listener. He sought to understand our desires and needs for the photos themselves, the experience of being photographed, the overall wedding aesthetic, and flow of the weekend and guests in a way that was thoughtful, sincere, and acted upon with precision. On the day before the wedding when a beloved family member fell ill and was unable to attend, Adam and his team jumped into high gear, changing plans and doing everything in their power to include him from afar. Can't say enough good things, Adam was one of those people we just plain liked having around us on our wedding day! Thank you!

    Highly suggest hiring Adam!

    Adam was the BEST! He is incredibly talented and fun to work with. We got married this past June at City Winery in Soho and were so happy we chose Adam to shoot our day. As someone who worked in Fashion for years, it was important to me that I find a photographer with a more editorial style and was not some cheesy wedding photographer as I typically hate most wedding pictures that I see (apologies if any offended readers!). Adam is a true artist with a great eye. He never asked us to do anything that felt forced or overly staged. He and his assistant did a wonderful job of capturing those special moments and candids that truly show the emotion of the day. I would highly recommend Adam to anyone and everyone, and if you're as picky as me you will not be let down.

    Honestly, he was the perfect fit for our wedding. He made us feel confident in front of a camera and made sure he got every photo we needed. I have high standards when it comes to photography and he exceeded all of my expectations. I would definitely recommend him time and time again.

    Adam Ciccarino Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much Sam. I had such a great time meeting your friends and family, and I hope you never stop adoring your pictures. You both looked phenomenal, and were a total delight.
