A recommendation from a previous bride
Everytime I get to be a part of someone’s special day, their wedding day. It makes me really happy because I get the chance to meet a new friend. My brides treat me as family or a close friend. My relationship to my clients is very important because they entrusted me to record a very important and special moment in their lives and I value it very much. So when one of my potential clients asked me if they could reach out to my previous brides to get feedback on my services, they were so happy and willing to oblige. Thanks very much to all of you.
Here is what they have to say about me
How did you hear about Sachi?
A friend from church referred me to Sachi.
How was he with getting back to you when you needed something?
Sachi would always get back to my husband and me in a very timely manner.
During the day of, was he on time and did he hold true to what you agreed to when you met?
Sachi and his assistant photographer was REMARKABLY prompt and punctual. I was running late on the day of my wedding due to some issues with my hair and makeup but he was flexible enough to take pictures of my husband and his family first.
Did you notice he was around or was he more in the background?
Sachi was completely hands on and was in total “ACTION” mode from the preparation stage\church ceremony\reception. I understand what the word “background” means BUT I don’t see why I would hire a photographer and expect him to be in the background..it just doesn’t make sense.
Did you feel he listened to you when you asked for specific types of photography – such as traditional vs candid vs photojournalistic vs creative?
My husband and I were both easy to work with, we basically saw Sachi’s work of art and his passion for photography… and we are just in awe (even at the present moment) with Sachi’s talents and all we had to do was enjoy our special day and really put Sachi to work. We have traditional, candid and photo journalistic photos. Sachi simply knows how to capture all of it!
Are you happy with the photos that you received?
Yes, I am definitely happy with my photos and album (it’s the tiny one.. I forgot what the proper term is for this). I have printed most of the photos from Sachi to assist me in selecting the ones that I intend to put in an album. I can show my photos to you if you want to.
Are there any changes you’d think to ask for now?
If I would have to change something, I would have allotted more time for picture taking after the church ceremony. I just didn’t think that the church ceremony would take longer than an hour and a half. Just to clarify, Sachi has nothing to do with the scheduling in any shape or form.
Was he timely when sending back your album and prints after you picked out your photos?
Sachi was simply excellent and accommodated my sort of rush requests in a timely manner…beyond what was written in our contract.
Here is from another bride
First – Congrats on your engagement! That’s great that you’re already planning everything, and I wish you the best of luck with the planning and wedding.
Okay – I will try to answer everything you asked – if I miss something, please feel free to contact me again. In terms of price, when I compared Sachi to the other wedding photographers I evaluated last year, he gave me a better package than all of them. This is because Sachi gives you the CD with all of your pictures on it – other photographers that I spoke with refused to match this aspect of his package. The CD is great because it means you can make extra prints yourself – if you went through a photographer that did not give you the CD, you would have to contact them and wait on their timeline to get extra prints. My family also took the CD from me, and made their own photobooks online – so I personally believe this makes Sachi’s price worthwhile.
Sachi and his whole team were absolutely fabulous on my wedding day. They arrived early and were able to capture all the small moments that make your day special. Sachi and his team were able to blend into the wedding, and therefore my husband and I felt extremely relaxed during the photo shooting. Being relaxed is what makes Sachi’s artful style – while your spending a private moment with your new husband, the team is capturing all of these one-in-a-lifetime photographs.
I found Sachi online – I was specifically looking for a “photojournalistic” style of photography for my wedding day, and was able to find his website through a search for New Jersey wedding photographers.
With everything said and done, and almost a year after my wedding, I am still just as happy with Sachi now as I was during the wedding day. He is great to work with, and creates a relaxing atmosphere that allows you to sit back and enjoy every minute of your day, while knowing that he is helping you remember all of it. When you’re busy planning everything for your wedding, it’s great to know that you have a reliable vendor that will not disappoint. Sachi’s work is absolutely stunning, and my friends and family continually gush over his ability to capture the true essence of my husband and I’s love for each other.
