Reviews for Photography by Verdi




Where do I start, Mindi & Rich are wonderful people as well as artists. They captured moments in my wedding that I will treasure forever. The pictures were candid & captivating I had such a hard time picking out of the 1400 or so proofs. Everything from the proof book to the thank you cards to the final album was perfect! When I got home from my honeymoon the pics were already on the website, I stayed up till 3am looking at every single one! Mindi & Rich were worth every penny, remember all you have left in the end are your memories & the pictures of your special day & I always feel that you do get what you pay for! DONT SKIMP GO FOR IT!
You gotta book Verdi Photography!




I having been dreaming of my wedding since I was a small girl. I spent hours reading wedding magaines and now I am in one. My wedding photos were recently publised in a magazine because my photographs were truly a work of art. Photography by Verdi are a husband and wife team. They truly love what they do and it shows in their work. My photos do not capture the moment but rather capture the essence of the moment. When I look at my photos I don't see the picture I feel the picture. My wedding was over in the blink of an eye and all I have left are my photos. When I look at them I truly relive the experience. Mindi & Rich Verdi are not just wedding photographers, they are artists. They caught every smile, laugh, tear, and raw emotion. They did this without me even recgnizing they were there. They also are unique and innovative. I did not want cooker cutter photos. I can honestly say that I have never seen photos like mine before. I had a lot of ideas of what I wanted and they really went above and beyond to capture them on film. I guess it all come down to this "they just get it". They have an eye and with it capture magic. I feel so fortunate that I used them because you only get one shot. So many of my family and friends regret their photographer chooses. Again it is not something you get to do over. People hem and haw over the price etc... but in reality it is one of the only things you take away from the day. It is your legacy an heirloom for future generations... THATS PRICELESS..... I strongly recommend Mindi and Rich Verdi. Just make an appointment and go see their work. I promise you will not leave there home without booking them! They are a family and will become part of yours for years to come. They will create your heirlooms for you!

Photography by Verdi is truly the best around! The lifetime memories they captured for us went above and beyond our expectations. This team has an art that is hard to find. They were able to highlight the biggest moments as well as the smallest details. They were so professional and personal all at the same time. We feel blessed to have had them be a part of our wedding.

I have yet to have my wedding pictures taken, but Photography by Verdi did our engagement shoot earlier this year and it was an absolute blast! The pictures were amazing and we loved working with Mindi and Rich! I'll be sure to post more after the wedding!! :) I would recommend them to ANYONE in the Arizona or New York area!

Melinda and Rich did an amazing job with our wedding and engagement pictures. Everyone who sees our pictures can't get over how good they are. They really know how to capture moments.

There isn't enough to say about such amazing photographers! From our first email exchange to the day of the wedding - they were absolutely delightful, and their work is truly outstanding. Rich and Mindi are a one-of-a-kind photography duo that you most certainly want to be part of your special day. They are truly exceptional!
GUEST

Photography by Verdi they are the absolute best! Mindi & Rich Verdi are a married couple running their own wedding photography business out of their home. They shoot weddings in New York and as well in Arizona. The pictures they took were STUNNING!! They took so many amazing shots we found it very hard to narrow down our choices for our wedding album. What’s great about their style of photography is the capture the real moments. They see the emotion or what is special and they shoot at the perfect time. But they’re also not intrusive with their shooting. We never felt like they were all up in our business. My husband and I were looking for a photographer that would be able to tell the story and feel of the day through their photos and that’s what Mindi & Rich did. And another plus is it’s two of them so you get different camera angles of moments as well as more coverage of the entire event because they can be in different areas. Also they are wonderfully nice people and very personable. So I HIGHLY recommend Photography by Verdi you will not be disappointed and they will go above and beyond your expectations! http://www.fotoverdi.com/

I couldn't be happier with the Verdi's services. Upon initial contact they were friendly, responsive and completely up front about their services and pricing; they cut us a good deal and were easy to work with.On the day of the wedding, I was glad to have them around. While we took our posed photos, they were patient and professional, and Mindi kept the session fun and breezy, helping reduce our overall wedding stress. During the ceremony and reception, they slipped into the background, never getting in our way --but they still got great shots of everything.And the pictures were great! It's nice to have cool people be your photographers, but what's the point if the shots aren't good? Fortunately, Mindi and Rich produced absolutely stellar photographs, from the formal posed pictures to the candid reception pics. Our photo album is ridiculously great --creative, unique, and beautifully composed. Everyone who has seen the pics just raves over them.Hiring Photography by Verdi was the smartest thing I did in planning my wedding.

Photograhy by Verdi photographed my recent wedding and an engagement shoot. I have never seen such beautiful pictures in my life. They captured my day so well and not just by taking pictures, they took moments. Moments that i may not have seen because it is such an important, emotional day and one i waited for, for a long time. Not only are they amazing photographers, they are wonderful people. I do not like taking pictures but they made me feel at ease and they had great ideas for different pictures not only your standard ones but so much more! I would highly recommend Verdi!!! Everyone who has seen my pictures are amazed by the photos and the story they tell of my amazing day!!!

Mindi and Rich's son, are friends with my sons, I had never had the pleasure of meeting them, until my son recommended them for our wedding! They are warm, sweet, and, listened to what we were looking for, and, were on top of it all for the wedding! VERY professional and were so happy with everything! They are now friends of ours! Extremely talented and a gift to every wedding or event that they do! Creative, professional and very prompt with EVERYTHING, was a complete pleasure to deal with! A personal touch on the most personal of times that they are sharing with you, as well as getting the most professional experience! Wonderful, could not be happier and highly recommend them for ANY event! P.S, Hired them for my one son's proposal on the Brooklyn bridge, PRICELESS! If you get a chance, VIEW Ryan and Danielles Engagement, which WAS a surprise! AGAIN, INCREDIBLE!! Highly recommend! Awesome talent, super photographers!! Love them both!! Thank you for everything!!
GUEST




Truly a magical experience! I could not recommend better wedding photographers! Thanks Rich and Mindi!

Photography for my wedding was extremely important to me. After everything is said and done, all you have left are the memories and the photographs. I didn't want the old fashioned "stand here, face this way, tilt your head, no lower, chin up, raise your right arm, nclench your hand, smile, no less teeth, look this way" kind of pictures. They come out beautiful, don't get me wrong, but I wanted my pictures to tell a story. I wanted them to be more natural and free. I did alot of research, and came to the conclusion I didn't want someone who took pictures for a living. I didn't want a wedding factory, I wanted a photographer, a storyteller, an artist for my photo's. I wanted someone who had a passion that showed through their work. After alot of research, the one photographer(s) that kept popping up was Photography by Verdi. Luckily enough, they had my wedding date open, and I immediately made an appointment to meet with them. We drove up to their beautiful home in LI, and you can feel their warmth as soon as you walked in and up to their studio. They were the nicest people, and we instantly felt a connection to them, which was something I also felt was important. I have a tendancy to feel intimidated by some people, and I certainly did not want to feel intimidated by my photographers. But when you meet Rich and Mindi, you feel like you've known them forever. They showed us a slideshow of their work, and they had us. Everything they showed us was better than the last! They captured moments in people's lives! You saw the joy in the bride and groom's faces. You saw every emotion in their photo's. We booked then and there, and it was the easiest and best decision I ever made! They were so great at the wedding, they had such an eye for detail and for great photo oppurtunities. They were unobtrusive, yet there for everything! When I got my pictures back (less than a week after the wedding by the way) they caught things I didn't even know were there or were happening! They managed to get photos of all of my guests, without most of them even knowing it! I am so happy we chose them, I now have the story of my day in photo's, better than I ever expected! I can't wait to find another reason to have them take our photo's!
GUEST




We are extremely happy with the lovely pictures taken by Mindi and Rich. They carefully captured our day (including all of the details you want to remember but often forget!), without imposing on any part of it. They know what they are doing and get it done with precision and ease.
GUEST




AMAZING!!! Rich & Mindi are simply amazing. From the unique pictures they take to the wedding albums they put together .. they are top notch. What makes them so fantastic is that they capture the full ambiance of the venue and the attitudes of the wedding party. I have photos with the groom and groomsmen walking in the woods and my bridal party and I playing on a life-size chess board. (Our wedding was at a Castle) They are so professional and they completely blend into the background. No bright lights ... no asking us to stop and pose .. they just snap away and collect the most amazing pictures.
GUEST




Absolutely FANTASTIC on the day of. They made us feel so comfortable. Most times we didnt even notice that they were there at all, but they took thousands of pictures. They also had very creative ideas to offer in terms of the photos.

Photography by Verdi was excellent- very helpful, flexible, and open to your needs and requests. The work was outstanding leading up to the big day and afterwards while assisting on the album. All positives throughout the process- loved the work!
GUEST




They did a beautiful job with our wedding.
I was so blown away with my pictures and so was every other person who looked at them! It was like fate that I was introduced to you guys and we knew on the spot we wanted you to do my pictures. You know I didn't even look at another photographer after seeing you and Mindi! You were my first and only choice. From the wedding in Florida at Walt Disney World to the reception in Brooklyn, it was perfect. I will get to see you guys again at our friends wedding where Danny is the best man and we can't wait to thank you in person. Once again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
WOW--What WONDERFUL pictures you both took! We absolutely love our pictures that are online and can't wait to see each and every one of them. You truly captured the "candid" ad "easy going" shots we wanted. We just got back from our honeymoon on Friday and everyone has been leaving us messages on our phone RAVING about the photos! I have given your name to each and every single friend we have and they said your work is by far the most wonderful they have ever seen (and WE AGREE!)
John and I are back from our honeymoon and just wanted to send a quick note to tell you how thrilled we are with the pictures you put on your website. I can't tell you how many compliments we've had from family and friends. I also wanted to say what a pleasure it was working with you on our wedding day. I know I wasn't easy, but I couldn't believe how patient you both were. You totally made the day that much more enjoyable and stress-free for me. You guys captured some really great moments. One of my absolutely favorite pictures from the day is a picture of the church where you played with the light from the candles...it's absolutely breathtaking. When John and I looked at the pictures for the first time from our hotel in Barbados, (by the way, we couldn't wait!), there were so many photos that made us laugh, and many that made us cry. Most of all, we couldn't stop commenting about how we didn't even realize you were there the entire night, but yet you captured EVERYTHING! I could ramble on forever about how great the pictures are, but I'm sure you hear it all the time so I won't bore you, ha ha. Picking you guys as our photographer was absolutely the best decision we made in the entire planning process. Thank you SO MUCH for everything!
I am absolutely out of my mind excited about these pictures!
I think I have called everyone I have ever met in the last ten years to tell them to look! I can't wait until the proofs come in, we will be out there lightning fast! You both outdid yourselves, our sisters are hysterical over the pictures of the boys! They are priceless. Man, I can't wait to see you in person, I have this tremendous hug saved up for you!
Hi, guys, we are back from S. Africa. Just wanted to say THANKS for all the amazing pictures on the website!!! You were so much fun to work with--everyone is raving about the photos!!! The one of my face trying to get Lou's ring on is too funny!!!
Dan & I just got back from Spain and everyone has left us messages about the photos...we just viewed them and we are in total AMAZEMENT!!! You guys did an absolutely FABULOUS job, we could NOT be happier!! You both really have a gift of capturing emotion in all of your photographs! Every single photo was BEAUTIFUL! Everyone in our family is thrilled and we are just so happy that we hose you to capture those special moments...it was truly an amazing day and every photo reveals it! We are looking forward to talking to you soon. Again, we can't thank you enough!
Just want to thank you one last time! The album is just as described and I couldn't ave asked for anything more, it is truly priceless. Everyone can't believe how great it looks, it's definitely not your traditional album which was exactly what I wanted. Cliff's mother told me she looked at it five times when we first brought it over. I think I can look at it everyday. We will definitely keep you in mind for baby photos and for any of our friends who are about to get married or have a child. Thank you again!
Thank you so so so very much for our wonderful wedding album! It is perfect! As you know (from speaking through my mother) Vic just returned from Iraq at the beginning of November and having the album for his return home was soooo special! As we looked through the album, page by page, we felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again. Your work is truly AMAZING!!! I still check out your website from time to time and like to see how your work keeps progressing. I LOVE the new BLOG section and all the updates you and your son make on the website. It looks fantastic! I just wanted to say with Vic coming home and all things have been really hectic, but I just wanted to take the time to thank you guys for the truly amazing work you did both at our wedding and working with my mom to put our album together. Everyone who sees our photos always says they are beautiful and like nothing they've seen before. They say it looks like the photos are right out of a magazine. And for the friends and family that have been luck enough to have seen our album...they just rave about it. A lot of them have not seen a magazine style album before and they think it is absolutely beautiful.
My sister just brought the proof book to us and we are speechless!!!! It is absolutely amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you! We are screaming every time we pick turn the page and see another one. It just got better and better. Can't wait to show them off. Thanks for everything. You guys were the greatest!
Paul and I just wanted to say thank you so much for capturing each and every moment of our wedding. The online album is breathtaking. There are truly no words to describe what a perfect day it was. Paul and I and numerous friends and family look at the online photo album with such delight. Paul and I truly appreciate everything you both did for us that day. It was a pleasure to have you photograph our wedding and we simply can't thank you enough.
Fabulous husband & wife team. Two is better than one, especially on your wedding day! Always a pleasure to work with.

The one thing I notice about Photography by Verdi is how much fun they're willing to have with the bride and groom. Consider their thumbnail (on the left) for instance - wedding photos in a candy store. How creative is that!!!I actually featured that whole wedding. Boy was it ever fun!www.kisswedding.com/blog/brown-and-green-wedding-theme-inspires-fun-vintage-wedding-ideas/
Very nice people, and are great to work with! They make your make your pictures worth more than a thousand words!. Great quality and great people. Always leaving clients satisfied!!
Verdi takes stellar photos! They are certainly not the run of the mill photographers. They are fun and easy to get along with, which is critically important when they are with you throughout your wedding day.
This wonderful duo has an East Coast and a Phoenix presence and that should tell you a lot! Whether it’s desert shots or the traditions of our Eastern Seaboard, Melinda and Rich have you covered. We adore them personally and recommend them without hesitation. Their work is stunningly beautiful!
I have played for many weddings that Verdi was the photographer. They are very professional, extremely accomodating and never intrusive.Every bride had wonderful things to say about their work. They are top notch in the wedding photography field. I will be happy to be used as a reference for them at any timeSTAN WIESTA.STAN WIEST MUSIC
In the 20 years I have been in business, I have seen the work of many photographers, so I was very impressed to see the "fresh" style of Photography by Verdi. Somehow they make wedding photos look new and exciting and...fun!I highly reccomend Photography by Verdi to couples who want their photos to be something special!
