    Amazing job!!!!!

    From the moment we first reached out to SMGM PHOTO & VIDEO, LLC, we were impressed by their effective, detailed, and quick communication. They were a true pleasure to work with leading up to our wedding day. On the day itself, the quality of their work was amazing - they captured everything we had hoped for and more. One of the most thoughtful touches was when they surprised us by providing disposable camera for me and my husband to take more pics, which I had mentioned I loved the look of. SMGM PHOTO & VIDEO, LLC went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly special. We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for exceptional service and beautiful, lasting memories of their big day.

    Thoughtful, skilled photographers!

    We hired SMGM Photo and Video for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. As a husband and wife team, they brought such a warm, professional energy and made the whole process completely seamless. They really listened to what we wanted and somehow knew exactly how to capture every moment beautifully. Their attention to detail and calm presence on the big day made everything feel effortless. Their print rights policy also made it so easy for us to print out our photos; my mom already had a bunch printed, and they turned out absolutely stunning! We highly recommend them to anyone looking for thoughtful, skilled photographers!

    Great team !

    Sofia and Max from SMGM were a pleasure to work with. They didn’t pressure us into upselling; instead, they took the time to listen and respond calmly to our needs. Their professionalism and clear expertise gave us confidence, and the photos turned out beautifully. Look no further – they’re a great photography team!

    Captured: Perfectly & Professionally :)

    Sofia and Max did a beautiful job in capturing our wedding! We chose them because of their photography style and were so happy with the results! They were professional, efficient and timely, and delivered an album that we were really happy with overall! I hate being photographed and I didn't even know they were there to capture the moments that they did! 10/10 recommend

Most of our clients book their wedding date 9 to 14 months in advance, especially for popular Saturdays. As we operate as a dedicated husband-and-wife team, we only take on a limited number of weddings each year to ensure our signature editorial quality and focused attention on every gallery. If your date is set, we recommend reaching out as soon as possible to secure your spot in our production schedule.
We work strictly as a lead-photographer duo. Having both of us on-site is our standard because it allows for comprehensive documentation from two angles at all times. By shooting together as a husband-and-wife team, we provide a seamless experience and a level of coordination that a solo photographer with an assistant simply cannot match.
Absolutely. We personally curate and edit every image in your final gallery. Our process ensures that each photograph maintains our distinct editorial look and technical quality. We deliver a finished, cohesive collection of high-resolution images, so you never have to worry about unedited or raw files.
We are specialized editorial photographers, and as such, our video services are available exclusively as an add-on to our photography collections. We do not offer standalone video coverage. To ensure our signature quality, this option is reserved only for elopements and intimate ceremonies. This allows us to maintain a cohesive visual narrative where both your stills and film reflect the same high-end aesthetic.
You can expect your completed high-resolution gallery within 14 to 20 days. We prioritize a fast turnaround without sacrificing the technical quality of our edits. If you need a selection of images sooner, we offer a 48-hour preview service as an optional add-on. All files are delivered via our premium, password-protected online platform with one year of hosting included.
We do! Just let us know if your venue requires a certificate of liability, and we’ll send that over to them.
In 5 years of practice, we’ve maintained a 100% attendance record. As a husband-and-wife team, our backup is built-in: if one faces an emergency, the other is fully briefed to ensure seamless coverage, bringing in a trusted peer to assist. In the extreme case neither can attend, we maintain a vetted network of editorial photographers to provide a worthy replacement. We treat every project with meticulous care and will do everything possible—and more—to ensure your day is flawlessly documented. We won't rest until we know your wedding is in expert hands.
We approach your wedding day as a high-end production. We blend a fly-on-the-wall documentary style with intentional editorial direction. Instead of forced poses, we look for cinematic angles, raw emotions, and the architectural scale of your day. As a husband-and-wife duo, we work discreetly and in sync—one focusing on the grand atmosphere while the other captures the intimate, fleeting details. We don’t just take photos; we curate a visual narrative with an editorial feel, ensuring you stay present in the moment while we document it from two professional perspectives.
Yes. Every wedding collection includes a personal print release. While we deliver your high-resolution images through a premium online gallery, you have full rights to download, share, and print your photos at any lab of your choice. We believe your memories should be accessible. For those seeking gallery-grade quality, our platform also offers integrated professional printing services directly from our partner labs.
Absolutely. We treat every project as a curated production. We assist with location scouting to find backdrops that fit our editorial aesthetic—from industrial NYC corners to cinematic architectural spots. We also collaborate on your timeline to ensure we utilize the best natural light. Our goal is to create a stress-free environment where the logistics are handled, allowing us to focus on capturing the raw, authentic energy of your celebration.
