    We could not have asked for anything more from Magda and Seba! From our fun and relaxed engagement shoot to their non-stop work at our wedding we were nothing but impressed. We immediately felt comfortable with the two of them and recognized what a great team that they made. They allowed us to enjoy the moment while they captured it all beautifully. The images we got back- over 2,000!!!!-are GORGEOUS! I would recommend Seba photography to everyone!

    Sebastian and Magda shot our wedding in Stonington, Connecticut last weekend, and we could NOT be happier with the experience we had with them. They are not only professional, organized, and flexible photographers but wonderful people who made our day so very special.

    We knew right away from our first introduction that Magda and Sebastian were going to be a blast to work with. Their enthusiasm for wedding photography came across very clearly during our first conference call. The next time we met them was at our engagement session in New York City, where we learned how to pose together, get comfortable in front of a camera, and act natural snuggling together with a photographer shooting us. Usually being very shy about anyone taking my pictures, this session was KEY in making me feel unbelievably confident in front of the camera the day of the wedding.

    On the day of the wedding, both Sebastian and Magda needed very little direction to make our day flow seamlessly, even though it was their first time shooting at our venue. From photos of us getting ready, all the way to capturing our grand exit, they kept things fun and light the entire day, but still managed to keep us on-schedule. The most important part of our photography plan that day was to capture the unexpected small moments and details that made our wedding personal to us. And magically, any time there was an "awwww" situation, both of them were already snapping shots of what was developing. I can't say enough about how excited both Rob and I are to see our wedding pictures.

    If you want two photographers who are passionate about what they do, genuinely FUN to be around, and deliver unbelievable pictures that belong to YOU in the end (no watermarks, no "buying the rights to your pictures"), look NO FURTHER! These two are the REAL DEAL!

    Seba and Magda gave us photographs of our Fire Island wedding that were way beyond our high expectations. There were so many beautiful shots to choose from it will be hard to select the ones we want for our album! The responses from our family on the images has been overwhelming!! Several of our friends said they were "some of the most amazing wedding photographs they had ever seen".

    Seba and Magda could not have not been any more professional and took the time to get to know us and understand exactly the type of images we were looking to capture of our special day. The results were truly spectacular. We could not have been more thrilled. Seeing the photos for the first time was like reliving our wedding all over again. One of our guests summed it up best- "amazing that these photos could make the most perfect day seem even more beautiful".

    SEBA photography deserves 5-stars across the board. My co-worker recommended their services and I couldn't have been happier. Our photos were not "stale" or "typical" because SEBA (Seba & Magda) practices photo-journalism. They captured the most amazing candid shots from the entire day, which really shows the pure happiness that we were feeling that day. All of our guests have commented on how they haven't seen such great wedding photos because these really reflect the emotions and events of the day! That said, Seba and Magda also took beautiful traditional shots. I feel like these photos could EASILY appear in a magazine and it's definitely because of SEBA. We sincerely couldn't be happier.

    SEBA is a great team! Magda notices all the details: she noticed when my bracelet was crooked, my veil was scrunched up, and when I simply needed a break (and she encouraged me to take it!). Seba will do anything for the perfect shot. He was often on the ground, bumping into branches, and saying hilarious comments to make us laugh. They have such a great eye for pictures. For instance, they noticed the perfect lighting behind the forest, which at the time my husband and I didn't notice. We received the photos and the sunset has the most vibrate colors I've ever seen. It's simply amazing.

    Seba and Magda are so professional and flexible. Despite being NYC-based, they were willing to travel up to Northern CT to photograph our wedding. They were completely on time and weren't in the guests' faces when taking photos. They are such a pleasure to be around and completely made our guests (specifically our nervous parents) feel at ease- this was one of the first things my father commented on! Their responsiveness was on point, always responding within 24 hours, and our photos came in a very timely fashion! SEBA is the perfect package.

    We honestly couldn't have asked for better photographers to spend the day with us. Thank you, Seba & Magda! We love you guys!

    we met SEBA (Sebastian and Magda) through a friend of mine at work. i was sold on meeting them once i saw their website (check out their blogs and pictures!) and also once i saw the highlight pictures they had taken of my friend and his wife for their wedding. they are pure geniuses! photojournalism at its best. the way they interacted with us made us feel at ease and comfortable. they were never 'in anyone's face' or annoying people to get pictures - they are very behind the scenes, but rest assured that they capture all of the important moments AND MORE! they were truly a please to work with and we look forward to working with them in the future.
    thanks so much seb and magda! you guys are great!!

    Magda and Sebastian are both truly exceptional. Not only they are professional but so driven and caring, emotional and beyond excited about each and every photograph which they take. Both, our engagement and wedding images are stunning, original and full of emotion, they bring back the best memories. We can't wait to use them in the future for other photo sessions !

    Seba Photography is world class. I cannot say enough good things about them. While researching photographers, they were the only ones to email me clear information, including prices, before we had a phone mtg. On the phone they were warm, friendly, informative and seemed to really empathize with the stress people are under while planning their wedding.

    I planned my NY wedding from LA -having responsive, trust-worthy vendors was so important. Seba replied to all of my emails in a timely manner with all the info I need. They always reassured me & helped neutralize my panic during the planning process.

    The day of the wedding they arrived early, professionally dressed, w. all of their equipment. The atmosphere at my parents' house was crazy but they swooped in and got to work. We hired them for 8hrs with 3 locations. During the chaos they were encouraging, flexible, enthusiastic and always made sure whomever they were photographing was comfortable.

    At the venue, they carefully nudged everyone along to keep us on schedule and integrated w. the maitre d' and bridal attendant perfectly. Sebastian is high energy & clearly obsessed with taking amazing photos. I always felt like I was having fun & enjoying my special day - he never stressed me out. Magda is extremely attentive and knows when people have had enough of posing for the camera. She also made sure details were secure like my bridesmaids didn't have hair ties on their wrists and that my veil and jewelry were always hanging correctly.

    It was hot, humid, crowded, loud, and buggy (insects) during the day & they never had a problem with anything. My guests event commented on how fun they were!

    They worked their butts off. I just received the final processed shots - AMAZING job. My wedding looks like it belongs in a magazine. It’s exactly the look I wanted for my photos.

    I could not have picked a better photographer for my wedding. I wish I could refer them to everyone!

    There aren't enough good words to describe my experience with Seba Photography! They were absolutely amazing and captured the essence of what my Husband and I wanted our day to be!! They are not only EXCELLENT photographers but wonderful people as well!! It has been my experience that with weddings sometimes vendors promise things when you meet with them before hand but do not deliver the day of....well SEBA provided exactly what they said they would and more!!!! They traveled all the way to ARUBA for my wedding and photgraphed the whole weekend of events! I am extremely proud to have been photgraphed by them and have been raving about them even before I saw my actual pictures because I just knew they were going to be fantastic from their creative ideas during our shoot!! If you are looking for quality photos and want to work with professional, trustworthy people get in contact with SEBA Photgraphy....I promise you will not be disappointed!

    Seba and Magda are the perfect photography duo.

    Before the big day, they kept in contact to get an idea of who we were as a couple and what we wanted to capture in our wedding. The attention they paid to us leading up to our wedding day allowed them to come in day of and just start capturing moments without hesitation. We truly appreciated their foresight and preparation.

    On our wedding day, Seba and Magda were full of positive energy and kind words. They constantly reminded us to just breathe and enjoy the moments. These centering words not only got us great natural moments captured, but reminded us to really take in all of the excitement and happiness surrounding us on that day.

    They were a very dynamic team and have an amazing work ethic. From the time they showed up in the early afternoon to the time they left late in the late evening, they were behind those cameras snapping shots of everyone and everything. They were not afraid to get up close and involved in the activity to get a great shot, but they were also skilled at remaining outside of the actual moment, letting everything happen naturally. They were quick on their feet, creating solutions before problems fully manifested. They were creative and just looked like they were having a blast taking photos all day and night. They kept each other focused and on schedule and never missed an opportunity for a great photo--they even helped us take advantage of spontaneuous moments!

    Our guests raved on and on about how amazing our photographers were and could not get over how wonderful our slideshow and gallery turned out. Seba and Magda did a beautiful job editing and packaging our photos. They have made it challenging to choose which of our thousand plus photos to print--we'd love to frame them all!

    Our photos came out spectacular...Sebastian and Magda are amazing! Their attention to detail and their ability to make you feel comfortable/confident while capturing those candid shots, made our experience with them one that we will never forget! They are truly passionate about their work and their beautiful images are evidence. Working with Sebastian and Magda was not only a pleasure, but an honor.They are extremely talented and their photographs and work ethic are incomparable to any other. With their help, our wedding day was everything we dreamed it would be...and more!

    From the moment we met Sebastian and Magda we loved them! They were so laid back, friendly, and professional. You instantly get a great vibe from them. They were so easy to work with from beginning to end. They know so much about what to expect in a wedding and guided us the whole way. We had a ceremony and reception all in one location so we weren't sure how we would do our photo session but If it wasn't for them, we would have never thought of the idea of doing a very personal pre-ceremony meeting between bride and groom for some very sweet, intimate, and fun portraits! They made that a very special memory for us :)
    The day of the wedding went so smoothly and wonderful partly because of our awesome photographers who helped make it that way. They were professional and unobtrusive but also always gave great suggestions when needed for more interesting and beautiful shots. I love their creative style...definately very talented! They work so well together capturing the best moments and make them so special (little or big, funny or sad, all of it!). They use interesting angles, unique ideas, and have fun the whole time!
    Thanks to them, we were relaxed, had fun, and were confident they were taking a bunch of excellent photos. They will work with you and are very open minded. Our family and friends loved them, too!!
    They did everything we could have expected of excellent photographers!! We received our photo gallery promptly in about 2 months!! We were looking for amazing quality photos and we got them! What we loved most was their personalities, their creativity, and last but not least the fact that they went ABOVE and beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for anything more on my wedding day!

    We were really lucky to find Magda & Sebastian!!! We're a couple from overseas and we hired them to cover our elopement in NY. From our first correspondence I knew they were what we were looking for: very engaged and reliable, they were really responsive and offered a great affordable and flexible package deal for elopements.
    On the day they were very punctual, professional and attentive both when we got ready at the hotel, through the ceremony and afterwards. They managed to capture the day perfectly, and made us look good while doing it. They also contributed to a light and relaxed mood on the day (we were only 6 people including them) by offering professional service behind the camera and helpful support otherwise (from hailing cabs, over wardrobe and makeup rescue, to telling us to enjoy our 30 sec ceremony).
    All in all, they were perfect! And I would hire them again in a heart beat! Most importantly, the pictures turned out great!

    Sebastian and Magda were amazing! They worked with us and accomodated most of our wants. Magda was great with our 5 year old daughter. They took advantage of the beautiful scenery we had going down the East River. We just received the gallery and slideshow, and they did a great job.

    Sebastian and Magda were wonderful to work with. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the photos from our wedding day were better than we could have imagined. They gave us a great mix of candid and natural-looking posed shots. We would highly recommend them to friends and family looking for a photographer, and plan to use them again in the future for important events.

    Magda- Thank you so much for all your help, you were there for me not just a as a photographer, but as an angel. Helping me, caring about me and giving all your support. I will never forget that.

    Sebastian & Magda were AMAZING. What a wonderful team of passionate & supremely talented photographers! From the moment we met them, we could plainly see that they both loved and enjoyed their work, and their passion to document our very special big day really made us look even more forward to the wedding! Weddings can be so stressful, and to be honest, I just wanted to get the day over with as it neared...but it turned out to be the most incredible day of my life and I only wish I could go back in time to experience it all over again. The photos taken by 9 Frames Studios are my time machine and I am so incredibly grateful to be able to relive this day over and over again through these BEAUTIFUL images :) Sebastian & Magda made us both feel so comfortable, were so genuine and kindhearted throughout the whole process from when we met them months before the wedding and even to this day. They are an unforgettable and phenomenal team. Thank you so much, 9 Frames Studio!!!

    Sebastian and Magda put us at ease in an instant. As a bride I was a bit nervous in the morning in front of all the flashes of lights but after barely few minutes I relaxed and forgot about their presence. The shoot was fun, interactive, and creative. Sebastian knew how to bring out our emotions. When taking photos of me and dad, Sebastian reminded my dad that it was the last morning with his daughter before handing me over to the groom. He further told him about the fragility of time passing and in this clever way he captured dad crying, a perfect moment I won't ever forget. During the photo session in the Brooklyn Bridge Park, Sebastian used every moment, every detail to take photos of us. He took photos even when we were running back to the limo fearing we were late. He's definitely driven by his passion for photography. Magda went ahead of her responsibilities because she continously helped me with my dress when my bridesmaids where not around. She was often willing to offer advice and was always around with another camera snapping extra photos. Finally, have I mentioned that it rained that day? Sebastian was the one who convinced me to stick to the plan. Despite of heavy rain that morning, we managed not only to take photos at the park but also went ahead with the ceremony outdoors. Their confidence, experience, professionalism, and friendly nature without a doubt made our wedding the most wonderful in our lives.

    My husband and I had such a hard time choosing a photographer for our wedding, we came across so many of them, and being on the budget made it even more difficult. When we met Sebastian and his wife, we noticed right away how passionate they were about their work. 9 Frames Studio was a perfect choice for us, Sebastian and his stuff were very professional and organized. I didn't have to worry about a thing. We felt very comfortable with them, which was very important because my husband does not like to take pictures. I was really concerned that we might have a problem with that......... oh boy I was so wrong. Sebastian and his stuff made him feel so comfortable that he became this model guy I've never knew before, posing and wanting to take more pictures, even more than I did! After our wedding, when they send us sneak peeks of two photos I knew right away that I'll be happy with the rest.... and I was. They captured everything, every single detail; my shoes, jewelery, flowers. I am crazy about such details because I can’t go back in time but I can go back and take a look at every picture they took and relive that day.

    Thank you Sebastian and stuff

    Our wedding picks came out so beautifully! The service was excellent. I liked the fact that the photographers were able to put "that something" to every picture they had taken. At the same time they were not afraid to give us their professional opinion even if it was not what we what we wanted.
    I would hire them again.

    Sebastian and Magda are truly the best - friendly, creative, respectful, professional, and diligent. They were attentive to detail (yet unintrusive), and really captured the excitement and mood of our special day. Their correspondence before and after really showed how on top of everything they are, and we couldn't have asked for a better client experience. We felt comfortable giving up control and leaving the artistry to them - and what a fantastic job they did! No Matter how wonderful the experience was working with them, in the end it is all about the pictures - and we couldn't be happier with the result!
