Photography Help

I am trying to decide between two photographers, Leli Photography in Great Neck and ADA Photography in Wading River. Does anyone have any suggestions / help?

Sorry to say that I was not impressed with Leli. If you use him, you may want to double check this info, but I remember him using only digital, no film. I also think his work is not so great regardless of the medium he uses.

I saw photos from ADA years ago and they were nice photos, nothing super great but nice, professional photos. Have you looked at VIP?

I met w. Leli, and was not that impressed either. If you like posed photos, they were not bad, but I like something a bit more exciting and with candids. Plus, the albums that he shows are outdated and slip in.
My suggestion is Glenmar Studios in Roslyn, they do beautiful work and do not even need to advertise, and when we went there the place was packed. All buisness was word of mouth. The prices are comprable to Leli, but the work is much better. Good luck!

Re: Photography Help

I booked Glenmar Studios in Roslyn. The place was packed and they don't need to advertise b/c they get so much business from word of mouth.

Their work is excellent.

I'm going with ADA. Both of my future sister in laws used them and the photos were beautiful. I have also had some friends who used them as well and had no complaints.
