    Amazing photos & a calming personality!

    Ina has a very calming personality, flexible approach, and friendly demeanor that made our wedding day a lot less hectic and stressful. She demonstrated great vision for the locations to take our photos and the photos came out BEAUTIFUL. Even when it began to rain during our pre-ceremony photos, Ina was able to pivot and she chose a covered location to continue shooting. She was able to capture the personalities of our entire bridal party in the photos. From the beginning, Ina was easy to contact and communicate with, which is critical for a wedding. My wife and I couldn't be happier! 11/10, would recommend :)

    My Favorite Vendor

    Where do I begin? Ina is amazing. Not only is she an amazing person but her work is gorgeous. My family and friends LOVED her. She really took charge (as working with a large bridal party can be overwhelming) and made everyone feel comfortable. My mom said to me “everyone hates their photographer on their wedding day”. Well, I LOVED Ina and wanted to be around her. I’m so sad the wedding is over since we can’t work together anymore. It was truly a pleasure working with her and I hope we can work together in the future.

    Five Stars

    Oh goodness, where do I even start? If you want some of the most amazing photos of your wedding ever, you need to hire Ina! Finding the perfect photographer was the most important part of planning for me, and when I found Ina’s work I knew she was “the one”. Not only are her pictures stunning, but she is the sweetest person I worked with during the wedding planning process. Ina is extremely professional and personable all wrapped into one. I loved how easy she was to communicate with and she was incredibly efficient at responding to my questions and emails and trust me, there were a lot. My husband and I had the best time shooting our engagement session with Ina and the photos came out amazing. I'm naturally nervous in front of a camera, but Ina gave us great direction and made me feel at ease immediately. Because our engagement pictures turned out so well my husband and I didn’t even give Ina a shot list, and she nailed every single wedding photo. It even rained on our wedding day (most of which was planned outside) and she just kept shooting all the way through without blinking an eye. I couldn’t have imagined my day without her - seriously, stop reading reviews and just book Ina!

    Ina is a genius! My husband and I are both people who never know what to do with our hands, as soon as a camera comes out both of us get SUPER awkward. We knew we were going to have to do a lot of looking around to find a wedding photographer up to that kind of challenge. Ina was the most perfect fit for us - she made us comfortable, provided the best instructions on how to pose (including what to do with our hands lol), and a lot of the time we didn't even realize she or her camera were around which helped us stay natural and not clam up. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful and she is truly one of a kind. Book Ina for your wedding, you won't regret it!!

    Ina is everything we wanted and more in our wedding day photographer. Her sweetness, confidence and professionalism is evident, not to mention her breathtaking photos! Ina's presence throughout our wedding day was calming while she captured intimate moments between my husband and I, our families and wedding guests. We feel so grateful to have had Ina as such an important part of our wedding day. Our LOVE has been perfectly captured thanks to her. Ina McConnell is truly talented, we recommend her services 1000000%. Thank You Ina! xoxo

    Ina, you were absolutely AMAZING, from the engagement shoot to the wedding day! You listened to exactly what we wanted and captured all the moments perfectly! I have to say I did not even notice you were at my wedding :) so polite and got all the moments that I wanted! I will be using you again for all my photography needs!

    Ina is a gem and I would recommend her to every bride!! I love her photography style (bright and natural!) and her easy-going personality. We were very particular about choosing the right photographer not only because we wanted bright/natural lighting/not too pose-y style photos, but also because we wanted to make sure we weren't choosing someone that would just bark out orders at us the day of our wedding. We wanted a calming, relaxing person who would make us feel at ease through all the hype and anxiety, and not be overbearing and make us pose for a million and one shots - and Ina and her team were absolutely perfect and just the right amount of inconspicuous but able to capture the most amazing, true and real moments of our wedding. She got to know us, observed us and listened to us and did an amazing job. We love you Ina!!!!

    Ina goes above and beyond to make your experience working with her amazing. She is a very reliable and professional photographer but has a way about her that makes you instantly comfortable when working with her. The pictures that she shot for me came out absolutely beautiful and I will be sure to tell all of my friends about them!

    My husband and I found Ina through my brother and SIL. She did their engagement, boudoir, and wedding photos. We had a tough area to shoot since we were getting married in Brooklyn bridge park and wanted someone who was familiar with the area. Ina came through amazingly. We got married July 22nd and we received our sneak peek within 24 hours. She is truly amazing at capturing the perfect moment. I know how hard shooting outside can be and she really did a great job of capturing our personalities and the wonderful view. I can't wait to receive all of our photos back.

    I love Ina!! She is a dream photographer!! I read somewhere that it is important to find a photographer you feel comfortable around because you will be with them all day on the most important day of your life---Ina is so easy going, sweet, kind and fun to be around!! My bridesmaids just adored her...and she was able to laugh at the crazy antics of the groomsmen. NOT TO MENTION, every single photo she took is absolutely breathtaking!! So romantic, whimsical and perfect for our dreamy beach wedding. We can't speak highly enough of Ina!! She is so talented and I highly recommend you book her immediately! :)

    Ina is a great photographer. We did not have a chance to use our engagement photo shoot yet,so our first meeting was on the day of our wedding. She is very sweet and it was a pleasure working with her and her photographers, we enjoyed it very much. She responds quickly to emails and phone calls and is punctual.

    The pictures came out amazing. Ina has vision, she is direct, and does not waste time. She is willing to use our photo ideas and puts her twist on them to make them better! She did a great job setting up the poses in every picture in a variety of ways. During the wedding, everything went smoothly, Ina and her photographers were invisible, they were on top of everything, and took great shots the entire day. Would definitely recommend her and her crew to anyone. Thanks Ina!

    Ina was truly amazing throughout my entire wedding process. Ina was patient, kind, compassionate, enthusiastic, inspiring and fun to be around and affordable! Ina listened to our thoughts and wants for our engagement photos and elaborated on them further. She was creative and so easy to work with. Our wedding pictures were absolutely stunning and so gorgeous. I could not love them more. Our guests and family members could not believe how wonderful Ina and her assistant were throughout the day - never obtrusive or in your face, always in the corner catching that special moment when you think no one is around. Ina was patient when all we did was laugh as a bridal party, kind when we had to do family portraits, and energetic and enthusiastic throughout the entire day. Ina did not stop smiling - nor did we. Not only did we wake up in France the day after our wedding to a stunning preview (almost 20!) of photos, our entire album was quickly available to us. I could not recommend her enough - I am so happy to have found a photographer I know my family and friends will use for years to come.

    With a wedding as wonderfully perfect as ours was, you'd think it would be tough to point to one specific decision and say "Yup, that was single best choice we made." Since we hired Ina as our wedding photographer though, saying that is easy. Her talent is easily worth three times what we paid her. She is such a fun, pleasant person to be around - which is absolutely necessary, as your photographer is going to be spending more time with you than anyone else that day - including the groom! My favorite thing about Ina's work style is that she doesn't ask for anything - she captures the real natural moments and -other than a brief formal session with our family and bridal party- doesn't ask anyone to pose or stand together. At other weddings I've been to, I've always noticed the photographer in the middle of the dance floor, asking groups to get together for pictures, or getting in close for dancing shots, but Ina always managed to stay in the background - she is truly like a ninja! Best of all, before we even got out of bed the morning after our wedding, she had posted a sneak peek of our photos!! I've had lots of friends get married this past year, and NO ONE else has seen any professional photos as quickly as we have! Even from the tiny percentage of pictures I've seen so far, I know that the rest are going to be everything I ever hoped for. She is such a wonderful, kind person, that I wish her all the success in the world.

    P.S. - Ina, I've already told Mike that whenever we have a baby, we need to book a newborn photo shoot with you!!

    We used IM photo studio for our wedding and engagement photos. The service was amazing. From beginning to end everything was excellent. From my first meeting with Ina I was sold. She was very personable and easy to work with. She always responded to my many emails promptly. We did an engagement session about 8 months before the wedding and the experience was so much fun. My fiance and I are not very comfortable in front of a camera and Ina was able to help us relax and enjoy the process. The photos came out amazing and I'm so happy we did the engagement session because it definitely helped us to be more relaxed in front of the camera on our wedding day. As for the actual wedding day Ina was just perfect. She captured all of the important moments while still allowing us to enjoy the day. She was everywhere, she captured moments I didn't even notice until looking at the photos. We could not be happier with our choice to use IM. Our photos are so beautiful and really captured our love.

    Hands down 5 stars! Ina was so personable and clearly loves what she does! It's all about you and your day...I felt like she was one of my friends I was that comfortable...Ina did my boudoir pics and I WISH WISH WISH WISH I had her for my wedding!!! Her creativity is very special...I feel like redoing my wedding pics just to have her!!! This all might sound like overkill, but it isn't! I mean it..!

    Ina is AMAZING! She is such a talented photographer, she did an amazing job on my engagement photo shoot & wedding photos. I cannot wait to see I would personally use her going forward for any future family photos or any other events. She was so helpful during her sessions & makes you feel very comfortable. I would recommend her 100% !

    Ina was just the greatest, I could not have been happier with our wedding photos. Still 3 months later I am looking at them amazed at how perfectly she captured our day. Not only did Ina take amazing photos for our wedding, she also traveled into NYC during the week to take photos for a post wedding shoot which turned out fabulous as well. I would HIGHLY recommend these services to anyone for any occasion. Ina will be my go-to photographer for any life events! And on top of all of her talents, she has a beautiful heart! Thank you again Ina!

    I used IM photo studio to do a boudoir shoot to give to my husband as a wedding gift. Ina was very professional and made me feel very comfortable during the shoot. She was easy to communicate with and got the pictures to me very quickly. I was very pleased with the quality of her work as was my husband.

    I am reviewing Ina from www.imphotostudio.com . She was absolutely amazing, showed up on time, and maintained her coolness and efficiency throughout the entire day. She popped up everywhere without being noticed, and captured every moment. Our guests and parents are STILL talking about how great she was, one month after the wedding! It was pouring rain the day of the wedding, but that didn't stop her, she was running through the rain and mud, and never slowed down. The photos came out amazing, and you couldn't even tell there was rain!

    Ina was amazing from the start! She squeezed me in for a last minute boudior session which was a gift to my hubby for Vday! I was a little unsure about doing it because it is not something I would have done in the past however Ina made me feel comfortable and confident right away! I am blown away by the photos, she is a natural! My husband loved them ? ...thank you!

    Not so great

    She’s a good engagement shoot photographer, sure. But I still think about my wedding photos to this day. I’m so frustrated. We will never get that day back. She showed up in a horrible mood where it was awkward to feel comfortable around her. We had hardly any pictures of family, and when I asked it was inconvenient for her. The pictures we do have with the people we love are sloppy, eyes closed, etc. as a photographer you should pay attention to those details. She didn’t hype the bridal party at all, my mom did. It was just horrible. I regret this to this day. If I could go back I would have went with a different vendor. 😔

    I had booked this vendor 10 months prior to my wedding. I had the pleasure of meeting with the photographer and was very excited to have booked her; her photos are beautiful based off of her website and a recommendation from a friend. However, I will not be able to fully review this vendor as she cancelled photographing my wedding 4 months prior to it. Just a few weeks ago I had emailed the photographer requesting to add on a service which she gladly accepted as long as I sent an additional deposit check, which I did. After a week of my check not being deposited I emailed her to make sure she had received it and she had, but had not deposited it because she had found out she is no longer available to work my wedding because of personal reasons but that she would try and find someone "adequate" to cover for her. I was extremely disappointed in the fact that she did not personally call me to let me know the news that 4 months to my wedding I am now out of a photographer, but instead only sent me an email. She did offer to try and find me someone else to work the wedding but I did not want someone "adequate" I want someone amazing to capture my once in a lifetime event. We did have a contract that said that if SHE is unavailable for the wedding she is able to cancel and I would receive a full refund, which I did, in a timely fashion. Everyone should be cautious of any contract that is very one sided and only protects the vendor. I am disappointed that I will not be able to work with this vendor because she is talented and was very affordable, but my real disappoint is in the way the situation was poorly handled.

    I have decided to lessen my score for this vendor. Rather than acknowledging her lack of professionalism when I was only being honest and truthful regarding my experience with this company, the vendor tried to dispute my review. However since all was true I was able to have my review reinstated.

    IM Photo Studio's reply:

    Hello Stacey,...So sorry i am no longer able to attend your wedding day as your photographer. I hope that you find someone who is going to be nothing short of amazing for your special day. God Bless! All my best. XO, Ina
