Being 3,500 miles away from New York it is hard to make a good choice of photographer, we checked Google reviews and searched the internet for negative details. We quickly narrowed our search from 20 to 5 and decided to choose Diamond City Hall Photography. The communications always very prompt, very helpful and very professional, they continued right up to the day we flew out to New York. It felt right.

The big day came. On the steps of City Hall were some photographers, some looking for work and some waiting for clients but one stuck right out. He was wearing a suit and tie, looked very professional and was stood right where he said he would, yes it was Karim from Diamond City Hall Photography. Straight away I felt relieved; the right decision, a good choice.

He greeted us warmly, put us at ease and talked us through the first steps of the day. It was clear he didn’t want to do a good job; he wanted to do a fabulous job.

Just like his helpful emails the man in person was obliging, gave just enough guidance to enable him to take great pictures, for us to feel at ease in front of the camera and enjoy our wedding.

The results. Not one, not a handful of good pictures but 100 plus images we love. Karim captured our love for each other, our happiness in getting married and our joy at getting married in New York. He has given us photographs that will make us smile and let us enjoy those feeling of joy and happiness we shared on our special day for many years to come. Thank you, Karim.

We had our city clerk ceremony only a few days after Christmas and everything was very last minute. Fortunately, we found Karim on the Internet and it was the best decision we made. We contacted through email, he response promptly and was very informative. On our big day, Karim made sure we had a great time and I have to say that the company of Karim eased quite a great deal of stress for us because he knows the place and the process really well. Karim is also passionate and fun to work with. He takes the business very seriously, for example, he remembers all of our names! The most important thing is, the pictures were so pretty. They were romantic, natural and captured the happiness and love expressed on our faces. I also love the detail shots for the bouquets, rings, Polaroid photos, etc. I was also quite surprised how fast we got the photos back.

We absolutely enjoyed our time with Karim on our wedding day. We found him on the internet, and all the good comments about him are true! He remembers our names ( which are hard to pronounce 🙂 ), knew the process very well which made our day easy. He is so enthusiastic and full of brilliant ideas for poses and photographing. Most importantly, the pictures look so pretty and nature, way exceeding our expectations. We feel very lucky to know and work with Karim!
