Ah, what can I say about Milton. He is just amazing! We had no worries with him! We booked him 2 yrs before our wedding and during the course of the planning we became very close to him & many of his photographers. If you meet this man you will instantly be stricken by his laughter, love and amazing talent. When we 1st met Milton we were instantly BLOWN away by his work. We were so lucky to have Milton for our wedding day but regardless, everyone in his studio is just as talented. For our day we had Milton, Liz and Neil. Talk about the A team. I felt like a celebrity with all these amazing photographers snapping away! Also, we has a 2nd engagement shoot w/Liz and this women is the female version of Milton. She is incredible. She just makes you feel so comfortable with the camera. At the reception they set up their laptop with pictures that were taken during the day. I had my friends running up to me on the dancefloor saying, “Those are the most amazing wedding pictures we have ever seen. Where did you find them?!?!”. I also had people ask me if I spent $10,000 on my pictures because they are that good! We got our proofs back & everyone that I show them to, they all tell me that I should submit them to a magz. Its so flattering! If you hired Milton Gil photography you will have theee best pictures! You will NOT be disappointed! If you are considering it, seriously – what are you waiting for…RUN & BOOK THEM!!! I am thrilled with the proofs!! I can’t stop looking at our pictures. They are just breathtaking amazing!!

We found Milton Gil and booked with the company over a year and a half before the wedding. We looked at the work of many of the photographers in the area and we felt that their work definitely had a different , unique style to it. Jose and Federico were our photographers on the day of and they were nothing short of amazing. They were easy to work with, I liked the poses they had us do and I liked the fact that they weren't in our faces the whole night. We picked up the 1000+ photos that we received from the wedding day and they are everything we could have hoped for. It was really difficult to select for our album, but it doesn't matter because we get to keep all of the photos (and they aren't labeled proof). Perfect company, I would suggest them to everyone.

We had Nelson, Maria and a 3rd assistant (can?t remember her name). They were great! I loved working with Nelson, he was fast and kept everyone and everything moving. I got my proofs back and I hard a hard time picking my favorites because there were so many great shots. We even took extra shots in Jersey City by the path station, and he stopped traffic so we could get some shots in the street! They were all really fun to work with and I will absolutely be using them again for any pictures I need in the future (baby pics, doggie pics, etc)

Milton Gil Photography is a number one choice. The photographers were an absolute pleasure to work with, very patient, friendly, and exact. The quality of the pictures were magnificent. Milton Gil had the proofs back to us in a flash. The proofs were of excellent quality too. The staging of the pictures were unique, not ordinary. Five stars is a must for Milton Gil and his staff.

I have always heard mixed reviews of Milton Gil... such as too expensive or too popular and wouldn’t be available. When I was shopping around for photographers I saw a lot. I saw several factory type photography places and many others. However, when I went to Milton Gil, I walked in and was impressed. As they say, first impressions mean a lot and that stayed with me on every other visit I had w/ other photographers. My husband went w/ me for our initial visit where we met w/ the owner Milton. He is very intelligent, charming and talented. We decided to think about it and eventually we went w/ our gut and decided to book them. We were super impressed w/ the pictures shown to us and the professionalism. We hit it off w/ Lou our head photographer right away. He made it so much fun. Our second photographer was Phil... He was awesome as well. . During dinner Lou showed us a slide show of pictures. Unbelievable is all I can say. They were unreal. My guests were raving about the quality of the pictures and the fact that you didn't see Lou or Phil, they were so incognito and blended in with the crowd.

We chose Milton Gil Photography for our wedding. They really were just amazing. We had Milton, Alex and Nicole. Our guests just raved about them all and said they never saw photographers with such enthusiasm. Our pictures all came out absolutely gorgeous. They were not intrusive at all. They were all so great and easy to work with. We highly recommend Milton Gil. You will have the most beautiful pictures. Ask for Alex...our guests were all really impressed by him.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

I can not say enough good things about Milton Gil. Photos were the most important part of our wedding. I have a hard time giving up control of things and not worrying. In using Milton Gil I didn't have to think about how things were going to turn out one bit. I knew it was going to be everything we'd hoped for. It turned out it was more.

I found Milton Gil online through the knot and the minute I visited their web page I was in love. Their studio is gorgeous and I just felt so excited from the minute we walked in. We met with Lou (who was our main photographer) and we were so happy from that moment and knew that they would be the photographers for us. Questions were answered immediately and they were so attentive the whole day. They were on time and very professional. Lou was great about cracking jokes and getting me to laugh. I love how creative and unique they are. My pictures are absolutely amazing. Everyone I've shown has been so impressed. The whole process has been great. I can't wait to get my album.

I used Milton Gil's photography and video. The photographer was really friendly and took many pictures. Unfortunately the photographer is no longer with Milton Gil.

The videographer was the worse. He was easily distracted and did not keep up with the wedding program. Most of my footage was cut in half because he was elsewhere and didn't have the camera ready. I didn't pay almost 3k for someone to record like this. My family member got better shots than this guy.

At editing, Milton Gil's workers were very sarcastic and blamed everything on my DJ. They made a big fuss on getting me other footage from the raw video. Apparently it was too much work. I decided not to fight and learn my lesson in going with a company that doesn't specialize in video. I now have to deal horrible footage chosen by people who weren't even at the wedding. If you see the video... you would say, "There has to be better video than this." The camera guy was in our face the whole morning and we were laughing and smiling. He told us, act like he was not there. We weren't allowed to smile at the camera. Why did my wedding video contain the worse shots? Is that what they think looks good? did they think people like this kind of stoic-face video? It’s so upsetting!!!

Here is a tip for anyone getting married and using a videographer... no matter what they say, don't act like they are not there. Remember to smile and remember there is a camera recording your special day. Also, do not pay so much money for video. Just pay that extra cash if you know the person knows how to do their job. This guy was awful. 100% awful. I hate my wedding video.

I rated Milton Gil 2 stars, just because they had a good photographer, but like I said, she's long gone.
