I love being a wedding photographer. There is something so special in creating work that could literally outlive me. Photographs tell our stories, shift narratives, and are the only thing left representing us at the end of the day. I think my responsibility as wedding photographer is not only photographing my clients under the best light possible but also creating a little bit of space for them to be vulnerable, so they leave a bit of their true selves in my images.

Deva was amazing!! I have so many pictures that are wonderful. She was laid back yet professional. I never had to worry about anything and I'm so very pleased with the pictures. We were married in our venue and Deva arranged our entire First Look photo which was not just one picture but a series which looking back makes that moment so much more special. We had been engaged a year already when I hired Deva and I'm glad she urged us to take the engagement session because it allowed us get to know her and familiarize ourselves with the process for our big day. Deva was very affordable as we were on a budget and I'm lucky our paths crossed. Thank you Deva!!!!

Deva has the artistic ability to create serene magical pictures even in the chaotic environment (which can be most weddings)! We first met Deva for our engagement pictures - we had chosen one of our favorite neighborhood parks. Little did we know that they were doing the yearly "getting ready for fall" gardening and the place was turned upside down. Not only did you not see the destruction happening around the garden, our pictures turning out stunning :) Deva took the time to get to know us over email and a couple phone calls and by the time the wedding day arrived, I didn't have to worry about Deva - she was on the ball, captured all the special moment, and some secret moments as well. She even had staked out a few places near the venue for couples pictures. And icing on the cake, as an anxious bride, we got out pictures way before we expected and they are lovely. Thank you Deva!

Deva was the best photographer I have ever worked with! We are from MI and came here to NY to have our wedding in Central Park. Deva was amazing!! So patient and so professional. I couldn't of ask for anything better. Deva you made this day so perfect for me. Also my husband and family. You knew I was under somewhat of stress from the wedding day, to being out of state, and just dealing with family.. You knew how to keep my smiling! Thank you so much for making this day so perfect and special.

Deva was great to work with. She made my fiancé and I feel very comfortable during the photoshoot. It was fun doing the photoshoot with her and her ideas were great. Her price was reasonable with what we received. We had our engagement shoot last week in Central Park and the weather was perfect. I would recommend Deva to anyone looking to have a location based photoshoot. She is also quick to respond to email and texts!

 

Yen P.

Deva was amazing to work with. I wished she shot both of our weddings in Boston and in NJ. She showed up early and made everyone feel comfortable with what she was doing. She did her job with a smile the whole entire time and without being pushy she guided us through what we need to do for the photos. You should definitely HIRE her for your special event.

Deva is an excellent photographer, and has an amazing talent for seeing the world with an artistic eye. I am not fond of taking pictures, but Deva made the entire process painless. I would even venture to say I enjoyed it. If you need pictures, be it wedding, engagement, or even corporate head shots, Deva is as good as they come.

 

Jeromy P.

Deva truly is outstanding! She made a point to get to know us as a couple and clearly enjoys her work. Her experience is obvious and we love our pictures. On the wedding day, she even participated in helping the bride prepare. When it rained at our outdoor ceremony, she wasn't fazed, and the pictures came out great.

Jennifer M.

Deva was very flexible and easy to work with - she was especially good with our 10-month-old daughter!

Deva! is one of the most amazing photographer. Not only the quality of her work is over the top but also, she is a sweet and professional person. I did my 5 year anniversary photo and I was glad, I found her. Thank you Deva!

 

Fenney K.

My husband and I hired Deva to be our wedding photographer. We couldn’t be happier with how our wedding photos came out. They were gorgeous! She made us look great! My first impression of Deva is friendly, warm, and dependable. Prior to our wedding, Deva spent time visualizing our special day by surveying the place of ceremony, reception venue, plus helping us find charming spots for our wedding portraits. And on the wedding day, in spite of the heat and humidity Deva worked really hard for us. Our guests commented how professional and dedicated Deva was. Deva also shot our beautiful engagement portraits. She went above and beyond to make sure we had a wide variety of poses/backdrops to choose from and that the lighting for each shot was perfect. We had a lot of fun during our engagement photo shoot! All we can say is we loved working with Deva and we love her work!
