A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

Hi, my name is Juan, AKA Jay, I am a Western Massachusetts based photographer. I first began my interest in photography in grade school. While my teacher would conduct the class I would be interested in the images so I could make more of a connection. I was also dubbed the "family photographer" whenever there was a family function. I am more of a non-traditional photographer, meaning, I enjoy control candid photos vs traditional posing photos.

My husband and I got married almost 7 months ago and the pictures for both our engagement session and our wedding were amazing. We loved working with Pix by Jay and would definitely use him again.

She was patient, kind, very organized, an excellent listener and brought to together all of our ideas seamlessly. Solange made excellent recommendations along the way proving her depth of experience while helping ensure ours was fun, beautiful, and unique including vendor recs, ceremony flow suggestions, and timeline. She rounded up all the vendors to review contracts and day of timeline and communicated questions and details through to post wedding day. She developed shared documents that helped keep us organized and her in the loop throughout the planning process. She even did some printing for us with a local printer. She checked in with us throughout the wedding planning and on wedding day. I'm sure we threw her some curveballs but she KILLED IT! We have had so many compliments about our wedding and hands down the KEY is having someone like Solange make sure your big day feels easy and magical.

As someone who doesn't enjoy a lot of makeup, she was very consultative with me during my bridal trial, and understood the balance I was trying to strike between natural, glowy beauty that still felt elevated and special enough for my wedding, without being over the top. She did a great job on the wedding day listening to the bridesmaids and helping them find their ideal look too. She also has amazing range with hair styling and really helped me figure out how to make my hair color shine with my vision for my wedding hair!

AJ is absolutely amazing! His humor completely calmed my nerves when times were stressful, and that’s a very hard thing to do (lol). His professionalism is on another level all while making you feel like he’s a part of the family. From morning to night, everything with him was just perfect and I could not have imagined my day without him there. We are so lucky and blessed to have had AJ film our most special day and I would recommend him a million times over.

I started photography as a second shooter with another local photographer and I fell in love with it. I love every aspect of my job, from meeting new people to editing photos. There truly is nothing better than getting a message from my clients about how happy they are with their images and how much it means to them. I have traveled to Colorado, California, New York, Florida, Alabama-- All over for weddings! I LOVE to travel for my work. So if you like my work, but realize I'm not close by, still reach out and let's talk!

Salt & Ivy was an absolute dream to work with. Highly communicative, professional, punctual, and absolute artists. From booking to receiving the photos, they were so amazing to work with. I (the bride) am typically very uncomfortable taking photographs. This was the first time in my life that I was actually at ease and having fun. 10/10 would and will book them again in the future for family/maternity photographs.

It’s been a year since our wedding and we STILL have family, friends and even strangers asking about our wedding videographer. After searching for a videographer for weeks, we came across Stanley’s instagram page. While Stanley appeared to be a relatively new videographer at the time (early 2021), with only a handful of videos and a couple hundred followers, we were immediately drawn to his work and knew it was a risk we were willing to take. Nonetheless, it was the BEST wedding decision we made. From start to finish, Stanley & Allie were incredibly kind, responsive and flexible. The day of, they were so easy-going yet attentive and receptive every step of the way. The next day teaser and final video exceeded all of our expectations. The shots, the editing, and the overall story-telling were immaculate. If you’re looking for a wedding videographer, look no further! They are the best. Stanley & Allie - thank you for everything!

Hip Control did an amazing job for us from start to finish. From our initial communications with Solange to the booking process, set list and logistics planning, and their actual performance the night of our wedding. They had everyone out on the dance floor all night and two weeks later our guests are still raving about how great they were. Hip Control set the tone for our cocktail hour and reception and absolutely nailed the vibe we were looking to achieve. Solange is wonderful - super detail oriented and really listened to us to make sure we were aligned. We loved working with her and the rest of her crew.
