Creative Compositions Fine Photography

I loved working with creative compositions on our engagement shoot and wedding. I got married over the weekend and Dave and his crew did a phenomenal job. I would definitely recommend you hiring someone for your day of planner, so you can make sure you get all of the important shots that you want. Family shots are a given but any shots that are important after that you will need to let them knOw and keep thank of if they got them or not. They stayed almost until the end Of our wedding and I feel they captured our day and night well. I have not seen our pictures yet but I am confident that they will be beautiful and creative. Dave has a great eye for shots And Joanna brings her creative candid flair. They are a wonderful team and made me feel like a movie star bride all day. They even made us a dIsk of our engagement shoot to show at our Friday night dinner. We chose creative because my (husbands) sister used them when she got married in march earlier this year and they loved working with them. We are looking forward to getting our profs and reliving the night again through the moments captured by the creative compositions team. Thank you to Dave, Jovanna, Helen and Tim

Creative Compositions has been incredible from the day we booked them. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with! He made us feel so comfortable and definitely made us laugh! He listened to what we wanted and gave us some great ideas! The whole Creative Compositions team made taking pictures fun! Our pictures are beautiful and really captured our day!
We couldn't be happier!

Picking a professional photographer is quite difficult when you dont know what questions to ask nor what to expect. As we all know, a wedding is an event in which you need professionals to get the job done right. Photographers need to make you shine and Ernie did just that. The day of my wedding, my makeup artist did not show up and I was left all alone to deal with make up and help with my dress. Ernie gave me his mobile number and contacted me a number of times to reassure me he will be onsite on time and do his job. He also brought an assistant which was an absolute doll and helped me with my dress and make-up and a few poses:). They were extremely personable which I learned is key to hiring photographers. The pictures where linked to me right after our honeymoon. As soon as they received my favorite pictures, we made an appointment to get the album and thank you cards going. David and Jovanna helped me put the album and thank you cards together and helped me chose the best pictures. The entire staff is amazing and have great energy. When we got the package done, I felt like we were all friends and I would certainly do work with them again. They really are the best and have an amazing website to proof it! There is only one regret I had and that was I honestly regret not doing a video with them. Brides..word of advice, DO A VIDEO! My wedding day was great then suddenly it was over. Afterwards I really wanted to relive it again through the videos, but unfortunately at the time, I opted not to have one...HUGE mistake.

We worked with Steve, one of the owners and he was fantastic! I was married on July 1 and the proofs are incredible! We told Steve that we wanted to enjoy our wedding and not be posing all night long and he listened to and respected our wishes. He has am amazing eye. Plus, he can take care of all kinds of flaws and erase them magically from your photos like wrinkles or " back boobs".
I would recommend Creative Compositions to any bride and groom. This isn't a factory where you are just a number. There are two owners and that is who you will deal with. They have assistants nd other photographers but they oversee everything from start to finish and they take great pride in what they do. Their photos and the special effects they can do will make you THE MOST BEAUTIFUL BRIDE ON...

My pictures are gorgeous! Very professional and great to work with.

Ernie is amazing!!!! Our pictures are exactly what I wanted. My videographer has been somewhat unresponsive.

Ernie and JoVanna are the best photographers out there! I had the pleasure of working with them for my engagment shoot and on my wedding day. I have received sooooooooooooooooo many wonderful compliments on the pictures they took. They really are so talented and wonderful (and funny) to work with. They really are creative! I love working with them!!

I can't say enough about Ernie and his team from Creative Compositions. We chose Creative Compositions after reading all the positive comments about them on Wedding Wire and meeting with Steve & Ernie. We were a little leary, since we had not heard of them before, as was my daughter and future son-in-law. Ernie did their engagement shoot and they couldn't stop praising them. Ernie made them so comfortable and the pictures were AMAZING. The day of the wedding, the team came and took over. They knew exactly what they were doing and what they wanted, yet they were not in your face. They made everyone relax and they took the most awesome pictures. I never had to say anything to them. Whenever I turned around, they were taking pictures, but they never were intrusive. Ernie had a little video made up within a week that was unbelieveable. I can't wait to see the proofs and then the album. I would, WITHOUT hesitation, recommend them. In fact, my son is getting married in a few months and after looking at other photographers and then going to Creative and talking to them and seeing their pictures, are using them also. I know those pictures will be just as wonderful as my daughter's are.

CREATIVE COMPOSITIONS IS BY FAR THE GREATEST PHOTOGRAPHERS IN THE WORLD... THE ONLY QUESTION I HAVE FOR THEM IS WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE USE YOU... THIS QUESTIONS IS FOR ALL OF AMERICA .. WHY ARE YOU STILL LOOKING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER ?? THAT BEAUTIFUL PERFECT DAY WE HAVE BEEN DREAMING ABOUT SINCE WE WERE BABIES FLYS BY THEN ALL YOU HAVE TO LOOK BACK ON IS THOSE PHOTOGRAPHS DONT MAKE A MAJOR MISTAKE WHEN YOU FINALLY GET YOUR PHOTOS DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SAY I WISH THEY DIDN'T DO THAT OR I WISH THEY WOULD HAVE DONE IT ANOTHER WAY ... CREATIVE COMPOSITIONS IS SO DIFFERENT YET CATCHES THOSE TRADITIONAL PICS TOO. THEY DONT MISS A BEAT THEY PROVIDE YOU WITH OUTRAGIOUS, MODERN, OLD SCHOOL, CREATIVE AND MOST OF ALL BREATH TAKING SHOTS. YOU WILL NEVER OPEN 2 ALBUMS AND SEE THE SAME PICTURES. THE CREW IS OUT OF THIS WORLD THEY WORK HARD BUT STAY FRIENDLY AT THE END OF THE DAY ITS NOT ONLY FUN BUT YOU LEAVE WITH A FRIENDSHIP AND A BETTER WEDDING ALBUM THEN ANYONE YOU KNOW OR ANY ALBUM YOU HAVE EVER SEEN. I CANT WAIT TO WORK WITH THIS COMPANY AGAIN AND AGAIN. THANK YOU CREATIVE COMPOSITIONS FOR EVERYTHING YOU DID. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY PICTURES ARE MORE THEN I COULD EVER DREAM FOR. IT TAKES CREATIVITY TO BE PART OF THIS ONE OF A KIND COMPANY. WHO EVER IS READIN THIS TAKE IT FROM ME STOPPPP LOOKINGGGG YOU ALREADY FOUND THE BESTTTTTT !!!!

Ernie and the creative compositions team are AMAZING! I really can’t say enough wonderful things about them. Ernie is so talented and will go above and beyond to get you the best shots. His passion, energy, and fun personality truly added to my special day. He made my husband and I feel confident and comfortable with ever picture that was taken that day. I am confident that any bride and grooms that book Ernie/Creative Compositions will not be disappointed with anything.
It does not get any better than Ernie/Creative Compositions!

Went over pics for my album today at the studio with jovanna and am really looking forward to seeing the finished product! Their work is quality and I'm sure I will be thrilled!

Beautiful Pictures!!!! Creative Compositions did an amazing job.. I am not one to love the way I come out in pictures and I recently received my proofs and love every one one them!!!!!

We highly recommend Creative Compositions as the best photography crew who will not disappoint! Creative Compositions provided my husband and I with a FABULOUS wedding day experience. Everything about them was exceptional... They made us feel more than comfortable and captured beautiful moments that will last us a life time! Their shots were innovative and diverse! We were able to get a variety of shots, from traditional to contemporary! Each picture blew us away :) We look forward to putting together an album with you! Creative Compositions and in particular ERNIE... thank you for being fun and creative and for helping to make our special day a success! We LOVE you!!!

Ernie and his team were absolutely wonderful! We were so happy with the service that we received and how our pictures came out. We highly reccommend you use creative compositions!

Ernie was the absolute professional. Our wedding photos are absolutely stunning. His personally brought out the best from everyone at the wedding. He even got my grandmother to ham it up for the camera!!! Proofs were posted online within two weeks of being back from the honeymoon. Creative Compositions, in my opinion, is second to none when it comes to professional photography. I would recommend them to anyone looking for an excellent photographer.

Thank you!

Creative Compositions have done an amazing job for our wedding!

The quality and the creativity of the pictures was out of this world! The staff was the "A" Team!

Overall, Creative Compositions has made our wedding memories last forever!!!

Steve and the Creative Compositions staff were unbelievable!!!
From start to finish, they worked with us and were there every step of the way!
Our pictures were beyond our expectations!
I highly recommend them!

Photographers have background as architects as well as photography. This comes in handy as they take fantastic artistic shots involving historic buildings as well as people. They were the only photographers we found who could take great pictures of people as well as locations and we interviewed over 25 photographers in the NYC area.

We highly reccomend Creative Compositions to photograph your next event. Everyone is a pleasure to work with and Ernie, who was our photographer was great! We loved the photos that were taken and are very happy with our choice!
Debbie and Dimitri

The team at Creative Compositions is one of the most impressive and creative photography teams around!! So much so we will never use another photographer again, Creative has a lifelong customer here!!

Their out of the ordinary wedding pictures are what make yours different from the rest and leave a wow with all who see them. I couldn't have been happier and recommend them hands down to all future brides....... You will definitely be more than pleased with the whole experience...... A++++++ from beginning to end!!!!!

They did beautiful work and were such a pleasure to work with!!

The guys at Creative Compositions were terrific from our very first meeting. They gave us exactly what we asked for and did a beautiful job with our wedding pictures.
They made us feel relaxed and calm the day of the wedding and made sure everyone had a good time and was comfortable.

My wife and I can't say enough great things about Creative Compositions. We are both aspiring photo buffs and love photos that can capture the moment in a unique way. When we first met with Ernie, we both knew right away he was the perfect photographer for us. Our only complaint would be that we ended up with too many amazing photos and we have been working on selecting a handful for our Thank You's. We can't even imagine how large our album will be because there is no way can narrow down our choices. Just too many amazing, jaw dropping photos!

Our advice to anyone booking with Creative Compositions would be to sit down and really get to know the photographer and vice versa. I think this played a crucial role in Ernie over delivering on our expectations. He knew what we were looking for and because we developed a strong level of trust and loved his work, we gave Ernie the freedom a true artist deserves.

We looked at a number of photographers before booking with Ernie at Creative Compositions. Although there were others that may have appeared to be less expensive, reviewing the fine print left ambiguity as to what the true final cost would be.

In the end, we couldn't have been happier with our wedding photographs. We received the proofs within a few weeks and were completely floored! Everyone in our bridal party even commented on how great Ernie and his assistant Dennis were. My best man even indicated that he is sorry he didn't use Ernie for his wedding, but is looking forward to seeing him for family portraits!

We honestly can't say enough about how professional, understanding, and artistic Ernie was throughout the entire process. We never thought our photographs would be so spectacular and can't wait to see our album (After we narrow down our photo selection!)

Ernie and all of the professionals at Creative Compositions are the BEST in the business. Our engagement shots were incredible and our wedding shots were just AMAZING. Ernie is SO SO much fun to work with! Posing for pictures was completely natural because he was always making us laugh (on top of it already being the happiest day of our lives). Our thank-you cards were one of a kind, for sure. Our wedding album, which we started working on last week, is going to be a complete work of art. Although a bit pricier than most photographers - there are WALLS of awards at Creative Compositions. Pictures last forever - spend a little extra money and go for QUALITY! We thank the team very much for making our day so special and now memorable FOREVER!

DID MY UNCLES WEDDING, PICTURES WERE FLAWLESS

I have known many other people as well as myself who has used Creative Compositions. Their pictures are fabulous- and you barely even know they are there! I couldn't have asked for a better photographer!

SIMPLY THE BEST! We used Creative Compositions for our July '07 wedding and I can't say enough wonderful things about them. There is a reason why their company is called Creative Compositions - their work is that and more! It was a pleasure to work with Ernie, Steve and the entire staff. They are truly artists, always bringing a unique eye, interesting perspective and wonderful beauty to their photographs - they're works of art. Steve, Ernie, Jo, and Davide are a warm, special group of people. When we first started to plan our wedding, my dad was ill and sadly passed away a few months before we got married. Steve, Ernie and the entire Creative group were compassionate, understanding and extremely sensitive to the difficulties of our special day, but also made sure we had fun, laughed a lot and enjoyed taking every last picture! I will forever be grateful for their friendship and partnership. They really have become like family. I have recommended Creative Compositions to countless brides, grooms and their families and will continue to sing the praises of my fabulous wedding photographers. Any bride who meets with the staff at Creative will undoubtedly be impressed, amazed and fall in love with their energetic, bubbly and warm personalities, exquisite talent, positive and can-do attitude, and creative genius the same way I did!

I could not have been happier with my choice of photographer. Both Ernie my main photographer and Giovanna my photojournalist were amazing. they were easy to get in touch with during my planning process and were amazing the day of the wedding. They made both myself and my husband feel great behind the camera and they were able to handle my very large wedding party with grace and flair. Throughout the night everywhere I turned there was a camera so I know they did not miss a beat. I can't wait to see the pictures because I know they will be great as my engagement shoot pictures were out of this world. I would recommend them highly.

Creative Compositions captured the so many beautiful and romantic images for our wedding. They were unintrusive and creative throughout the wedding. Davide and Giavianna were lovely to work with and they make you feel like family. They give you personalized, individual attention when you meet before your wedding and ask you exactly what you picture for your special day. We interviewed many other long island photographers, but no one compares to Creative Composition! You even get to design your album digitally right there in the studio. My husband and I are thrilled with their work and look forward to working with them again soon!

AMAZING! Every single picture that they took was like artwork! They are really talented for taking interesting photos and capturing the passion and emotion in a photo unlike any other photographer. We met with 15 photographers - so we did our research! And, while they are true artists, they also are patient and easy to deal with. They made us feel like movie stars, before our wedding, on the wedding day, and even afterwards. They are so much fun to work with! You spend enough time with your photographer on the day of your wedding - trust me, you want great photos and also be able to enjoy your day! They are professional and curteous, but become like family! We would recommend them to anyone!

I called Steve Bergano of Creative Compositions in the summer of 2009 asking if he would be able to create wedding albums for me if I was able to obtain copyright and the images from my photographer who photographed my wedding. He said yes! Well it is now summer of 2010 and I'm so excited I've been crying and smiling with true joy and pleased to share that after 7 years I can say that I have in hand as well as in copyright the wedding pictures of when my late husband and I got married back in June 2003! Whoo what true joy! I get to finally make my wedding album and print up wedding pictures for family and friends.

This is all thanks to family and friends but in particular to Steve of Creative Compositions. I can not verbally offer enough words of appreciation to Steve for what he has accomplished. He was someone who heard my story and he chose to get involved because it was the right think to ethically do with no gain in any form. Integrity like that is hard to find. He went to bat for me over the last few months. Additionally, the other week he devoted his day to checking that each image was of professional quality for use in making albums and enlargements. He asked for nothing from me and expected nothing his goal was to simply help a person in need. There are few people of this calibar in this world, Steve is one of them.

Every time I have called the office or stopped in I was always greeted with a warm hello and total professionalism. The integrity, creative images, and pleased clients can't be matched through a different photographer, everyone their is truely amazing. Shortly, Steve and his team will begin making my wedding albums. The joy and peace I feel are inmeasurable. When I walk in to their office I feel like family now, these are genuine, special people!

I can't think of any other way to say these are the individuals/company you want to be a part of wedding day as they will make it more memorable then you can imagine.

Working with Steve, Ernie and Their Team is a Pleasure! What work they do and always easy to Please!!

Creative Compositions - what is there to say other than the most creative, professional, inspirational and fun group of photographers any couple would want to work with... They capture the day like no other photographer has... Their talent and uniqueness stands out from the rest with every job they shoot... It's always a pleasure working with them...
