Reviews

Choosing Jesse as our photographer for our engagement and wedding photos was an easy decision. He made the whole process enjoyable, natural, and fun!! Jesse is creative, easy to work with, passionate, and is extremely precise with every detail he puts into his work. He captured so many beautiful moments from our wedding; he captured the details, the emotions, and the stories the photos from our wedding told. He worked diligently throughout the night to edit and put together a preview of some of the photos for our guests to see; we have received so many compliments on our photos! I will most definitely recommend Jesse and his team!



Jesse was amazing! We have a team, so working with a few personalities and costume changes would throw anyone off, but not Jesse! He made us look amazing and was infinitely patient! We are super happy with our pictures and experience. 5/5!

Jesse and his team are truly a breath of fresh air. Making you feel comfortable in front of the camera and delivering high quality photos and a five star experience along the way. Never felt rushed and the turnaround time was on point! A decade later and I am still using Jesse Rinka Photography...

Working with Eddi was an absolute pleasure! My guests and I greatly enjoyed his approach and professionalism. He captured the most wonderful moments of our surprise 60th birthday party. I would highly recommend him to anyone!

Jesse, Ryan, and their team were nothing short of exceptional for our wedding! From the moment they arrived, they showed professionalism, ensuring everything ran seamlessly. What truly set them apart was their balance of fun and professionalism. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the day, they managed to make every moment enjoyable. Their ability to connect with everyone (family, bridal party, guests, and other vendors) translated into stunningly authentic shots and heartfelt video clips.
What made our experience even more special was the genuine effort that was put into building a connection with us prior to the wedding. A special thanks to Maria for coordinating meetings, and effortlessly communicating with us before and after the wedding!
The final results we received exceeded our expectations as they beautifully captured the emotions and details that we will cherish forever!! If you're looking for a team that goes above & beyond & blends professionalism with a personal touch, we wholeheartedly recommend Jesse, Ryan, and their team. Thank you for capturing the most amazing moments of the best day of our life!

I had such a blast working with Eddi Cruz Photography! His knowledge and expertise in photography is amazing. He makes you feel comfortable while allowing you to be yourself. I was unsure as to what exactly I wanted but he was able to guide me with several suggestions to ensure I got the results I wanted. Thank You!


I can not express how greatful we are for your amazing work. My son is not the one to stay focus for 1 min. Eddi was super engaging with him from the moment he got into the studio. He allowed him to be himself and just capture him for who he is. Thank you for your patience and for giving us the best photos ever. We are eternally greatful. I recoment Eddi without reservation.




Very cool area. Seems like a locals type of place, which we LOVE.

Extraordinary work offered by Eddi Photographer. He is, professionals, creative and very kind. The result of your work is the best memory I have of the day of in Central Park. Eddi made me feel very comfortable and I enjoyed every moment, he is very flexible and gave importance to all the details, given me an impressive album with high resolution photos. Thank you very much I will always have a beautiful memory of this experience. I highly recommend Eddi Cruz Photography.

Jesse Rinka was referred to us by friends that used his team for their wedding. The entire planning process for my wedding was so seamless. I remember seeing my friends wedding album and it sold me to book him immediately. From securing our date with Jesse’s amazing wife Maria, doing our e-shoot, and all the detailed planning ahead of our wedding day was filled with so much genuine kindness and professionalism. Our photos are beyond breathtaking. Magazine worthy. I can’t thank this team enough for your hard work and thoughtfulness that went into giving us these beautiful memories of the most important day in our lives.







This is a great place to explore Arts District from. Easy walk to great theater, events (saw "Happy Days" by Beckett at Las Vegas Theater here. Fantastic, deep, challenging theater). First Friday art walk is a must. Something fine and cultured to do AWAY from the commercialism of the strip too. Park here and explore. Check out Las Vegas Theater. The night I went there was a very cool hipster car show sponsored by local radio station. Always something cool around here. Walk to good pizza, thrift stores and MONSTER store (my fav). Las Vegas needs to put more money into this area. I would also like to see a lot more small art galleries. Housing and studio space for artists to work and show their stuff. That would really make this a top destination.





I had THE most amazing wedding ever and Jesse and his team played a huge part in it. It was really important to me I felt comfortable with my photographer for my wedding day and when we had our consultation I knew immediately. His wife and office manager (I think is the title?), Maria, was our point of contact over the last year and she was literally amazing. So patient, kind, and helpful. The day of team were all so wonderful and the energy they brought was amazing. Next to marrying my husband, hiring Jesse for my wedding was the second best decision I made for my wedding day.

nice event (First Friday). no cover free, food truck display was nice. We had chix on a stick which was not great (lacked flavor)& their noodles were too oily. Another truck sold bulgogi fries& Poké nachos which were AWESOME! Had garlic fries, corn dogs, and Nathan beef hotdogs which were also yummy. Ended the night watching folks sing karaoke on a stage😀

I’ve had the pleasure of being photographed by the incredibly talented photographers at Indie Studios, Andrew and Sam, on several occasions. These include capturing unforgettable moments during events like the Rise Survivor Fashion Shows at New York Fashion Week, the United Nations Survivors Rights advocacy speeches, and the historic passage of the first-ever Universal Survivors Bill of Rights by the U.N. General Assembly. Their skillful eye and creative approach truly bring out the very best in their subjects! I wholeheartedly recommend Indie Studios!!!

Working with IndieStudios was an absolute delight. Their unwavering dedication and exceptional attention to creative details transforms any project!

Outstanding and professional photography and videography service. Andrew and Sam always go above and beyond!

I could not be happier that we found Jesse & his team to book for our wedding. From the day we reached out, everyone was extremely professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. We booked an engagement shoot with Jesse and were absolutely blown away by his talent - and he somehow exceeded every expectation on our wedding day. Him & his team did not miss a single shot, every picture came out absolutely amazing, and as always, they were truly an absolute pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend booking Jesse & his team - 11/10 experience!




I thoroughly enjoyed my session with Eddi. He was fun to work with, made me feel very comfortable, and was professional and warm. From the beginning, he kept in contact to make sure I was happy with everything and was ready and willing to answer any questions. I spent my birthday away from my home and my family, so this shoot was just for me and he made it enjoyable, while capturing my favourite time of year and the streets of Brooklyn, which I love so much. Thank you, Eddi. You're a gem!


Closed when we arrived! Not a very nice area and a long walk to downtown.









I hired Eddi for my mom's 70th birthday party and I was not disappointed. Eddi is not just a photographer who shoots basic shots, he strategically captures the reactions, emotions, and feel of an event. Looking at his pictures makes you feel like you attended in person (even if you didn't). Eddi's eye for detail and precision allows your final quality product to have everyone in AWE!! I've gotten so many text msg, DM's and calls asking who took the pictures. My mom was so pleased, she called him personally to thank him and let him know he is offically our family photographer lol. I will absolutely hire Eddi again and you should too!




Jesse, Ryan, and the team were so incredible to work with for my wedding in June. Jesse and Ryan were the photographer and videographer for my brother’s wedding a year ago and I knew I had to work with them for my wedding too! Jesse and his team were communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process. They answered all my questions and were reassuring of any concerns. They made my wedding day seamless and so memorable. They are so talented and really captured the happiness that we felt that day. Jesse was so efficient and was able to capture the most beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. Ryan was extremely talented at capturing every special moment between me and my husband and our families. I have recommended Jesse Rinka Photography to every bride I know. I could not recommend Jesse and his team enough and I’m so thankful I was able to work with them!




I couldn't recommend Esther enough! She was so easy to work with, had great creative direction, and I was completely speechless when I first saw the photo album she provided. Amazing work. Nothing but great things to say.

My wife and I cannot recommend Esther enough! From the first time we met her at our engagement session to the day of our wedding, we knew we had made the best decision choosing her as our photographer. She is outgoing, fun to work with, very responsive, extremely professional and her work is top notch. My wife and I look at our pictures from that day frequently and they still bring tears to our eyes. She captured our day, the details, our family and friends, and most of all our love, absolutely perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer that is fun and easy to get along with, someone that brings out the best smiles even in those that hate getting their picture taken, and someone that will deliver the highest quality photos of the best day of your life, Esther is the photographer you should choose. We are so thankful for her and look forward to working with her again in the future!

I really love to go get my pictures there, those two birds are kind , respectful and professional in their works. Place is always neat and clean......Thank you.



Great night out for friends/date night. Amazing food, worth the lines. Parking was a lil frustrating and pricey but it town a basically a party so all good .



If you find yourself at Art Square, stop in and see what Ruben is doing. He's a light painting photographer. I was impressed with what he can evoke in you out of a little light. He also does photo experiences. Well worth it, and he's got some great stories. Go in and see for yourself.

Awesome job with my son Senior pictures!!





It was amazing working with Eddie. He made us both feel really comfortable, as we are not photogenic people. He made sure we hit all the poses we had saved in different locations in dumbo. He gave us the perfect time where we can still have some sunlight and catch sunset. It was very cold by the water, especially in November but he made sure we had jacket breaks and kept us laughing so we wouldn’t feel it. He went above and beyond for our photos and we are extremely grateful. The hardest part was choosing the top photos when they were all so good!

A good wedding photographer does such much more than just take pictures. I cannot imagine going through the wedding planning process without Esther!! Not only was she completely understanding when we needed to reschedule our engagement photos three times (on account of bad weather,) but she found us the most beautiful and private areas of Cape Ann to shoot at. We were ASTONISHED by her quick turnaround time and how beautiful the pictures turned out. We have received endless compliments on them, as she was able to perfectly capture our personalities and relationship.
Esther spent hours with me on the phone helping to establish my wedding timeline, answer my long list of questions, and figure out where I wanted to take our wedding photos. On the wedding day, Esther kept me calm and collected. Aside from her incredible professional abilities, she is such a kind and amiable person. We truly felt like she was our friend! We found ourselves a photographer for life and cannot imagine working with anyone else. If you're considering hiring Esther, please do. She was by far my favorite wedding vendor that we worked with!

Good photographer 📸 Kind & nice
Definitely recommend this place for all your photos shoot needs!!@@

We hired Eddi to be the photographer for my bridal shower and he was nothing short of AMAZING! He was professional, on time and super helpful when posing for photos to get your best angles. He was personable and made sure everyone was comfortable with him being around. He even helped with boomerangs for us from my phone on Instagram. My fiancé came towards the end a little later than anticipated and Eddi stayed to make sure we got all the photos we wanted. I can’t say enough great things about him. I 100% recommend him and will definitely keep him in mind for future events!


Esther did the most amazing job photographing our outdoor Oct wedding (2021). If we could give her more than five stars we would! She was calming to have around and easy going and she miraculously got all the shots we had hoped for amidst wedding bustle while also capturing so many candid gems too. We can’t recommend her enough! And we look forward to working with her again for other special events.

I’ve booked Sylonce media for a variety of events and they never disappoint. They’re able to capture the true essence of the event whether it be love, joy, excitement, etc. Book them ASAP because their availability does fill up fast.



Saw the Las Vegas Masters of Magic show. Great little act, very audience centered given the small venue, and the performers had really good energy. Show consisted of close up card, rope, and coin tricks with other more involved acts. Magician and assistant (his wife) are personable and charismatic. They enjoy interacting with participants before and after the show. Had a really nice time.

I highly recommend Sylonce Media ! They are professional, courteous and a pleasure to work with. Richard and his assistant went above and beyond to ensure each and every photo was perfect!!

I wish a 10 star review was possible because Sylonce Media definitely exceeded my expectations. I celebrated a COVID friendly birthday Paint and sip this summer and Sylonce Media filmed and took photos of this event. It was definitely a day to remember. Thank you for your quick response, exceptional customer, and quality work. I’ll always be back.

If you need photos and videos taken for a party or any kind of event really they are most definitely your guys , very caring and they know what they are doing !

It was such a great 1st time experience. The staff was friendly, the environment was calm and they followed COVID protocols.





















Absolutely loved it. Mural hunting is my favorite in every big city I go to. Would highly recommend to plan 2 hours to look and shop around the area. Never know what treasures you might find.

Michael is such a professional and I felt at home the second I stepped in the studio. His enthusiasm and positive attitude combine for such a fun and productive experience. His photos are top quality and there are many to pick from. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a top notch photoshoot!

It was such a wonderful session at a good price, very friendly and accommodating man together with his wife. I strongly recommend this place.

Professional pictures done by a humble and responsible photographer. Beautiful pictures with excellent composition at a reasonable price!!!💜💜

Esther has done our engagement, wedding, maternity, and newborn photos and we couldn’t be happier with her work! She is so easy to work with and makes taking photos such a comfortable experience. We will keep using her for all of our photography needs and highly recommend her!

I am interested in someone contacted me about my question since the phone number is out of service. If i get a response, Ill keep my good review posted with a better review as well. I would like to know if Root took senior photos back in 1991 in Downers Grove? Thank you.

One stop photo shop for every occasion. Been around longer than I've been alive and did photos and video for much of my family's special events.

Been taking my grandbaby for her yearly birthday pictures!! Owner and wife are very nice, kindly and professional!

Esther was beyond amazing to work with!! We are incredibly happy we found her. Before our wedding she was extremely organized, friendly, and flexible. Esther and her second shooter, Sam, were absolutely lovely to have around on the day of our wedding. I was unfortunately sick the day and Esther was extremely flexible about some necessary last minute changes to the schedule. I was so worried after the wedding that my being sick would cause us to have missed out on some of the pictures we had wanted. I couldn’t have been more wrong. She captured our day in a more beautiful way than I could have imagined. We are beyond happy with the photos she provided us.

Andrew has amazing photography and video with great customer service. He is willing to work with anything. He made us feel very comfortable during our photoshoot. We didn’t have to wait long to receive our photos and videos. Would highly recommend him! Thank you for capturing our special moment!!

Haley Anderson is rude. I Sent my son in for Senior Pics.. He changed once & had not One Picture in a cap & gown... I emailed them & asked what was the purpose of Senior pics if he didn’t take one in cap & gown. Haley Anderson replies & said I needed to pay $10 additional to the $70. I agreed & got a rude email saying they couldn’t do cap & gown. Only Senior Year Book Pics could be taken over. I sent another email & got NO reply from Haley. Haley Anderson I suggest you treat people the way you’d like to be treated. Maybe you don’t value your profession. These are important moments. Be professional & at least reply to paying customers.

Always a pleasure working with Andrew! He makes shooting feel completely effortless and fun. He has an amazing personality and is easy to get along with. I highly recommend working with him if you want some super amazing fashion shots.

Andrew is such a talent! Incredibly responsive, wonderfully creative, and such a lovely artist. He has the perfect eye, and always gets the shots you need! (And even the ones you didn’t know you did!) Stellar photographer.

Highly recommend if you’re looking for a photographer. Andrew is one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked it! He has great eye for detail and always delivers exactly what the client is looking for. He’s a pleasure to work with and very professional. Taste level is on point and as a makeup artist, his photographs always translate what I’m looking to capture. Couldn’t ask for anything more!! 💥💥💥

Andrew is an amazing fashion photographer. He is very skilled in his job and executes on a high level. He is warm and friendly to his clients, which creates a comfort in the creating space. Also, he works with you to make sure that you’re satisfied with your outfits and photos. He works extremely efficient as well. In only Two days after we shot, he returned back a package of my selected photos. He is definitely a passionate fashion photographer who cares wholeheartedly about his craft and his clients being satisfied.

The thing I love most about shooting with Michael is his enthusiasm and positive attitude. I have been coming back to him for several years now for this very reason. Feeling relaxed and comfortable with your photographer is key to getting a great shot, and Michael definitely makes you feel that way. I am always happy with the results!

I have now shot with Michael twice and both times have been an amazing experience! I highly recommend him and have received so many compliments on my photos. He is fun and easy to work with and the number of high quality shots you receive for the price is fantastic. It was enjoyable taking both headshots and full length photos the last time in several different outfits. I would also recommend hiring the makeup artist/hair stylist. I pride myself in applying my makeup and styling my hair. However, when it comes to photos, the professional has always done a better job and I have been much happier with the results. Thank you, Michael for helping me book more work through your photography!

Michael is an amazing photographer - he has a wonderful manner which puts me at ease, translating into natural and authentic photos; he is expert and creative - so he finds the best backdrop, lightening and angles to flatter and bring out the best in his subjects. My best friend told me about Micheal and gave me a session with him as a gift, since then, I've used him several times and referred him to friends and colleagues, paying it back and forward. Michael's terrific!

Michael was absolutely amazing! He was professional, savvy, kind, helpful, and extremely fun to be around. The pictures came out beautiful! Also appreciate the efficiency of Michael's process. It was immediate gratification, I got a glimpse of the pictures while at the studio and shortly thereafter upon arriving at home was able to access them quickly. Excellent customer service. Highly recommend and will be back for more.

This was the best experience I've ever had with a photo shoot! I went in totally blind, having been recommended by a friend. Michael instantly put me at ease, and I could tell his wealth of experience with shooting for performance stills by how well he was able to zero in on each and every thing needed to make the shot perfect. From lighting, to posing, to background (even hair!) he managed to get hundreds of gorgeous shots while making the time fly by. Couldn't recommend him more highly to any dancer or actress needing great glamour shots!

She creates some of the most memorable images you've ever experienced!

They honestly are a bit pricey so I did not not make them my top place to go to to get pictures taken. I wanted to do family photos of my daughter, my husband and I but they wanted 3 photos for $60.00. It's 1 8x11.5 and 2 8x10 which honestly it could be more photos for that price.

How unprofessional and rude do these photographers have to be? I walk in and everybody was fighting, didn't stop when people came in, and gave children attitude. Honestly how dare any of you treat people like that.

Michael is an excellent photographer. He was able to capture my vision for my business project with little direction. I have worked with other photographers in the past who are not familiar with the difference between shooting for weddings, baby, and families and for business and corporations. He communicated with me in the weeks leading up to the shoot and was ready to start on our agreed upon time. As an executive in NYC, I highly recommend Michael to anyone, regardless of the scope of your project, to hire Michael for top quality work.

Evan is extremely professional, he worked with my budget.Evan gave me extras for no charge. He knows how to do business and how important guest satisfaction truly is. He was beyond patient during the shoot. As I'm sure this is true for everyone , we are our own harshest critics. Evan made sure he was capturing my most flattering angles. He has so many options at his location. The location is versatile, with the private studio, pool, and rooftop. So happy I found him and he took such gorgeous pictures of me.

I have never felt more comfortable with a photographer! Evan is very professional and knows how to make you feel at ease. His studio is lovely and my favorite type of shoot is by his pool. He has also added extra shost at no extra charge. Evan is very kind and you can tell he loves what he does as well as making the client feel as relaxed as possible. I’m definitely going back to him and recommend him to anyone.

I am not a model and I dont have much experience having a professional photo taken. Evan took his time when shooting and directing me. He was completely professional and even spent extra time with me picking outfits and editing my promotional photos so I had the right look I was aiming for. There was also a bunch of places to shoot: the pool area, the roof with the view and the studio. We opted to shoot on location in NYC. I would work with him again if I needed professional photos.

We met Esther Mathieu through a Living Social deal and it was one of the best photo experiences we have ever had. Esther is patient when working with small children and did a great job prepping us for what we should bring to the photo shoot. She brought out the best in our son.
We had some difficulty and delays choosing our photos. She was extremely patient with us and was quick to resolve an issue we had with the photo CD well after we received the pictures, which were much better than we ever expected. The image and picture quality were phenomenal. We would definitely use Esther Mathieu Photography in the future and highly recommend her.

Esther took amazing photos for our daughter's first birthday!! In advance of the session she was available & shared advice on what to expect, what to wear, what to bring, etc. She met us on location at one of our favorite local parks and really worked well with our daughter to get some great shots. We were really impressed with the results and have a huge standout collage of some of our favorites hanging in our house - and we love it!! I would definitely use Esther again!

Michael is an excellent photographer and I cold not have been more pleased with the experience. In the days prior, I was not sure that I was personally ready to get my head shots taken, although I would have to at some point. From the moment of arriving at his studio, I felt welcomed and relaxed, and was happy to be there. He is a great person and really makes the experience a lot of fun. The whole shoot felt very casual, and the results were fantastic. He takes wonderful photos! Out of the many he took, I have been having difficulty choosing which ones I like the best, because they all look amazing.
It was a thoroughly pleasant experience, and I have no hesitation in recommending his services; and I would be very happy to work with Michael again!
