Grateful. That's the first word that comes to mind when I think of Domenico Castaldo Studio. I had seen them a couple of years ago at a bridal show and was instantly captivated by their work. I never found another photographer I couldn't get out of my head. My husband is not one to love the camera, but with Domenico and Cecily, he said we needed to set aside a fund for them in the future because he could never use a different photographer he enjoyed them so much. Our pictures are breathtaking. It is a gift to be photographed by Domenico & Cecily. It is photography elevated to art. They were timely, professional, friendly, and we got more pictures than we could have imagined. I can't say enough about them. We will be forever grateful the photographed our wedding.

I have never felt that there could be someone in the world that would know how to capture every feeling in a photo but Domenico just has the touch of GOD. Every picture he takes is amazing and the money is well well well worth every single penny. They will be our life long photographers. Everyone should pick!!!

I'm so happy I went with Domenico and Cecily of Castaldo Studios! They were wonderful! I chose them because I saw one of their photos before I was even engaged and was amazed at the artistic style their photos have! Photography was a huge priority for us in our wedding because these are the tangible images of our memories from that day and no other photographer could have done a tenth of what Castaldo was able to capture! We have gotten SO many compliments on the photos and we will cherish them forever! Thank you so much!

Cecily photographed our wedding, as well as a boudoir shoot for my husbands wedding present, and all of the pictures are amazing! We had so much fun working with her, she is so creative and knows how to get awesome shots.

Domenico and Cecily are amazing photographers and I could not imagine having anyone else in charge of capturing the special moments of our day. The photos that Domenico takes are the highest quality that you can get. They illustrate touching moments in your life you don't even realize were there. I had engagement pictures and wedding pictures done and I cannot believe how great they came out. After seeing your photographs you can't stop looking at them. They know how to capture people and emotions better than anyone else I have ever seen. You feel like a model when you get your shots back. My now husband doesn't like getting pictures taken and he was completely at ease with Domenico. Domenico is a true artist and using him as your photographer is an investment that truly is priceless. You will know that having them as your photographers at your wedding you will not miss a moment and will have spectacular photos to share with others for the rest of your life.

What can I say about two beautiful people, Domenico and Cicily Castaldo! From our first meeting to the engagement session (which was free) to the wedding day, these two had us impressed! Their creativity and artistry surpasses all other photographers that I interviewed. The day of the wedding was such a whirlwind, not the mention HOT, and they handled it beautifully! They were able to capture every memory and freeze it, so I can charish it forever. These photos are priceless and I have them to thank. Hope they are ready to do our Christmas Cards!!

Domenico and Cecily are a sensational photography team. They make everyone feel at ease and are personable. Domenico's friendly personality and great sense of humor are what make their studio so great. He has an "out of the box" creativity that allows you to have memorable photos in your album. He isn't rigid in how he takes your photographs at all. His organic style of photography really captures a moment and takes full advantage of your wedding environment. He took a hauntingly beautiful photo of my wife and I at the ceremony site just as the sun was setting. He and Cecily take the time to listen to you and offer expert suggestions to get the shots that you want. I can't praise these guys enough. When you have questions day or night they respond right away to emails, phone calls, and text messages. The end result of all their hard work on our wedding and engagement photos are one of my wife and I's most prized possessions. They are like family to us know and have made sure our special day will be nothing but precious memories.

Domenico became part of the wedding party once the day got started. He made everything flow so smoothly. Our guest even got to get photography lessons from him. I can't wait to have him document our next major event! He and Cecily are the best. I can't imagine using anyone else but him!

Domenico and Cecily were absolutely amazing. Not only did they make us (the bride and groom) feel relaxed and comfortable, they made the whole wedding party feel relaxed about taking pictures as well. They are an excellent team. I do not know what I would have done without them!! I would highly recommend them to anyone that asks and me and my family will DEFINITELY be using them again on other occasions.

Domenico & Cecily shot our wedding in 2006. I have to say they made the day so much more fun! Even our wedding party loved how funny Domenico was, he had everyone laughing during the wedding party photos and doing bizarre things to get a good shot - of which there were tons to choose from. I think my biggest problem was choosing favorites to put in the book and choose as artwork for our walls. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose them again without question. They're great people and their art is amazing.

Domenico and Cecily are amazing. Not only do they provide PHENOMINAL work but they are wonderful people. I feel sorry for any bride who had another photographer. Domenico's work is above and beyond any other wedding photographs I have ever seen. He turns an average photo into an actual moment. He conveyed every emotion throughout the day in my photos. I am so blessed to have had them there on this important day and even more blessed to be able to call them my friends.
if you choose any other photographer, you will regret it. Domenico and Cecily are extraordinary!

FI and I both love Domenico. HeÂ’s so funny and super fun to shoot with. When we met with him we totally knew we had to have him but he was out of our price range. Thanks to my loving brothers who paid the difference so we could book him. Now the only problem is when we go to book him he tells me his wife already booked him for a wedding on our date. Man we were sad. We knew he could totally deliver exactly what we wanted. He gave me names of other photographerÂ’s and he even called a few for me but they were already booked. Then he tells me that his wife can shoot the wedding and he will do our epics and TTD shoot. They showed us her work and we liked it so we booked them. In addition he discounted the price of our package since he was not able to shoot our wedding. I have not seen our wedding pictures yet but his wife Cecily is really nice. My mom said she saw her take a lot of pictures of all the wedding details. Domenico took our epics and we could not be any happier. TheyÂ’re so fun and edgy. Everyone weÂ’ve shown our epics to love the pictures and now they stock his blog, LOL. Some of them knew when he added more pictures to his blog before we did. Their a bit expensive but so far itÂ’s been wroth every penny.

I read all these reviews and use many of these vendors prior to my wedding.
At first, we were amazed with out engagement photos, they were beautiful and we felt Domenico was the perfect photographer.. but after 5 months after our wedding, we STILL had not received our photos. Our emails were dodged, phone calls not returned. When we finally did, I was horrified. They were sloppy, unprofessional and it was evident that his heart was NOT into our wedding. He definitely did us a disfavor. I had not ONE single photo alone with my mother.. The mother-daughter photo was not there. Not to mention, the reception's photos.. in which there is a blinding flash that does not allow to see the bouquet toss among other in more than 1 or 2 or 3 photos.
Furthermore, we have been waiting an ENTIRE year for our wedding album.. after many dodged phone calls, emails... we got a very average album that I will never look at. And the worst is that I am never getting that day again while I have to look at all the great work he did for others and wonder why this happened with us.
In short, it is my earnest opinion that CASTALDO STUDIO is indeed very talented and perhaps an innovator in photography. However, it is also my opinion that their level of unprofessional ism is unacceptable. I would recommend to those who wish to use them to research further other options. There are hundreds of other photographers out there. Don't risk the only day you will have as a bride and groom. It is not my intention to be unfair, or brutal or dissuade anyone from their current opinion about this studio. I'd only like for other brides to...
