The Wedding Memories
Over 30 plus years of shooting weddings I could write a book, and perhaps one day I will. But for now it is hard to say one thing that's stands out. - What always gets me is when a father walks his daughter down the isle or an emotional first dance with a Mom or Dad. It always touches my heart. One memory that I have is of a groom who was paralyzed from the waist down, Who wanted to be standing at the end of the isle waiting for his bride, as is the norm. With the help of his two brothers, he was standing at the end of the isle waiting for his bride! There was not a dry eye in the church that afternoon and the bride approached him with the biggest smile I have ever seen. I will never forget that.
Specialization
Weddings is our specialty. But ADA shoot all kinds of events, infants, dance schools, and sports.

This company has exceeded any expectations I had! I booked with ADA for my wedding and the crew that was with me on my big day was beyond professional! Everyone was helpful, sweet and had such amazing attention to detail! They clearly know what they are doing when it comes to capturing the best possible pictures and video of your big day! Any request that I had, they accommodated and made it possible! Everyone went well above and beyond!! I 100% recommend this company to anyone who’s looking for an amazing photographer!
These people made our day!! We have the pleasure of working with Lee (Photo) and Stefano (Video) for our wedding. They understood our funny/carefree style and made us feel completely at ease on a day that could've been pretty stressful. Lee was all about the angles, making us laugh with creative shots that turned out to be our FAVORITE of the album. Stefano did an amazing job fulfilling our wishes by interviewing all of the major people in our lives and including them as little surprises in the video. Beyond happy we went with ADA and couldn't have asked for a better experience. 5 STARS!!
If you’re looking for a photographer who does really candid and in the moment shots, ask for Lee at ADA Studio! He did an absolutely amazing job - I told him I wanted a lot of really raw photos of my guests having fun and he did exactly that. Highly recommend!
ADA studios was AMAZING AMAZING - anyone using them, you are in for a treat! My team was the owner Tony, Stefano, Hugo, and Betty! They made the photos go so smoothly - even with a last minute change from Old Westbury Gardens to Planting Fields Arboretum (because of the weather). They even sent us preview shots THE DAY AFTER the wedding for us to post. They made us feel like family, anyone looking for a good photo video team use them!
