Exceeded all expectations, truly wonderful in every way from start to finish!
I’ll start by saying that I found Edward through one of my closest friends because I absolutely loved the photos she had from her Wedding, so obviously, I had to use him for my Wedding! From the moment I met him, he was extremely open, shared tons of wedding photos with me, and answered all of my questions without being pushy! I chose to do an engagement session in Central Park and it was breathtaking - the moments he captured were stunning - he helped us pose, made us comfortable, and had us laughing! I can’t even express in words how grateful I was to have hired him! Shortly after my engagement photos came back, my best friend booked Edward for her Wedding as well!
I was a COVID bride and had to reschedule my Wedding 3 times, changing location too! Edward didn’t hesitate one moment, kept our contract the same, and worked with me every step of the way! When my wedding coordinator didn’t quite fulfill her duties, he helped me create a seamless timeline for the day. On the day he was supportive and great at helping me keep my composure. My husband is not great on camera, but Edward was able to make us feel comfortable and gave us great posing advice. He also worked well with my Videographer and all of my other vendors.
I left for my honeymoon right after my wedding and I had 20+ of the most amazing photos before our flight even landed. I WAS IN TEARS THEY WERE SO MAGICAL! Seriously, the pictures are the best that I could have ever hoped for. LOOK NO FURTHER, HIGHER EDWARD. YOU WON'T REGRET IT! Everyone who has seen my pictures already plans to use Edward for their Wedding!
Not only are my pictures amazing, but I was MOH in my friends wedding that Edward also photographed and he got the most STUNNING pictures there too! I can’t recommend him enough.

Look no further!
Edward Dye is the best! We wanted our wedding to be shot in a photojournalistic style and Edward really wowed us with the results! He was able to capture our emotions that day with the best backdrops around my venue. Every time I look at my photos I feel like I am reliving the moments. Oh, I also got tons of compliments on them too. Not to mention that Edward was on time, responsible, and professional. His easygoing attitude and “just be yourself” direction totally made my husband (who hates posing for pictures) feel at ease. Edward is worth every penny. Book him!

Amazing Amazing Amazing!
Thank you Edwards for our amazing photos that will last a lifetime! Edward was knowledgeable of the location (St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Central Park in NYC) seamless to work with, and responsive! He is so easygoing and naturally easy to be around on such a big day it made.

Captures unique and enchanting moments
We are absolutely in love with our engagement and wedding photos - Edward exceeded our expectations.
We had a multiple location wedding - both myself and my husband got ready at our family homes, we got married at a church, and traveled an hour out to our reception venue. Edward made sure himself and the second photographer captured every moment from start to finish - they were both with us from the early morning to midnight the day of. Having that kind of flexibility was incredible considering we knew we were going to move locations quite a bit and would have some gaps where we would have to travel.
Edward was very flexible and easy to work with throughout the entire process. We had certain poses and shots that we wanted and he was very open to hearing and addressing our wants and needs. He also captured incredible candids and moments that we'll get to look back on and cherish forever. Most importantly he made us feel at ease and comfortable when taking photos - he gave us direction, suggestions, and confidence. My husband and I recommend Edward and his team without hesitation.

Beautiful Wedding Photography!
I knew I wanted a photographer that would capture the personality of myself and my groom and the energy of our wedding day. And that's exactly what we got with Edward! Our photos are absolutely stunning and are so authentic to us. He captured the joy, love, and excitement that surrounded us on our wedding day in every single one of our photos. Edward was incredibly easy to work with and was flexible when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID. I couldn't more highly recommend his services!

BEST Photographer Research Can Find!!
So my wife and I had less than 10 months to plan a wedding of about 440 guests and since it was so many people, we knew we would need the best photographer to capture all the moments that would fly right by us. We researched wedding wire, the knot, fearless photographers, etc for months. Little did we know, we came across Edward on Instagram and fell in love at first sight. Not only could we tell that his eye for photography is unique, but the way he processes the photos is much different than your usual washed-up, dull-looking photos. Communication with Edward was seamless and he worked out a great package to meet our budget. I have had friends who paid twice as much and were not satisfied with their photos. We just received our photos and Edward and his team captured WAY more photos than we anticipated and we loved that they did! They captured every single moment we missed, funny and memorable. Edward and his team deserve much more recognition and we highly, highly recommend him to all future newlyweds!

A Magical Experience
My husband and I are both super happy with the photos! Edward did such a great job! He really captured the moment during the ceremony and dinner without being intrusive, and afterward, during the photos of just us, he helped us pose and not look awkward (which can sometimes be a problem in photos, no matter how natural you feel like it is at the time!) He was very professional and creative. I loved how he made some very unassuming locations look magical in the photo! Would absolutely recommend him to everyone!

There are no other words to describe Edward other than amazing! Edward was everything we could've asked for in a Photographer. He was professional, on time, courteous, responsive. More so than that, the quality of work that he produced was incredible. The reason why we chose Edward was due to the fact that Edward captures moments. My husband and I are not fans of staged photography. When you look at Edwards's portfolio, you truly see the emotion that was captured at that very moment. Those are the memories we will hold on to forever. Edward was always around to capture some of the best moments of the wedding. Honestly, I cannot say enough how happy we are with the end product. Edward, thank you again for capturing all our special moments!

Dreamiest wedding photos and candids with Edward
Our experience with Edward was incredible, right from the beginning. Planning a wedding is overwhelming for anyone, and when I had my first inquiry call with Edward he made the process as smooth as possible. He's very experienced, having photographed over 500 weddings - and was even able to help give a few planning tips! We had a micro wedding and wanted to keep things simple. Without Edward's advice, we almost didn't have a first dance - which would have been a huge shame.
Edward's photos speak for themselves...if you're looking for someone who has a real artistic eye and knows how to capture the most fleeting but important moments, I HIGHLY recommend you work with Edward. The wedding passed so quickly for us, and being able to relive the moments through beautiful photos is priceless.

Edward Dye was an obvious choice from the beginning.
My now husband and I had a thorough research process for our photographer as we had a very specific style in mind. We both have been to our fair share of weddings whereby the photographer gets into the couples' faces to capture 'the moment' or interrupts conversations, and we have also seen pictures where the moments don't seem authentic. Therefore we were looking for someone who can capture those organic moments behind the scenes and has an eye for the right settings without having to edit them too much.
After coming across Edward's portfolio, we were blown away. We also loved his "client first" approach and wasn't trying to impose his style on us, but rather try to understand exactly what we wanted.
We couldn't be more grateful for his professionalism, his flexibility, and most of all his top-class quality work.

Ed is an incredibly talented photographer. The photos he takes look like they are worth a million bucks and deserve to be in Bride magazine! Seriously, all my guests can't stop raving about how amazing they came out!
I found Ed through WPJA and I was just blown away with his portfolio. One of the things that drew me toward his pictures was the vibrant colors he uses and his brilliant eye for wide landscape shots. I wanted a photographer who would capture the stunning summer colors of the garden and the grandeur that our venue exuded. I reached out to Ed and he worked with my budget. I couldn't believe how reasonably priced he is for his quality of work. Moreover, the final payment is to be submitted a week AFTER the wedding which really helps when all the other vendors are basically due at the same time.
He uses the best equipment out there and will hike up a mountain if you need him to, just to get the shot. Ed is very sweet and responsive via email. He answered any questions we had and listened to our vision for the big day. I emailed him a list of the photos I knew I definitely wanted and he took each and every single one. I also had an idea for some photos of the girls and I jumping on the bed with our robes on and he was more than willing to listen and try it out- he even seemed to enjoy shooting it as much as we did!
He did not leave our side all day/night, and in the evening pulled us away for some incredibly stunning evening shots by the fountains. He got everyone to smile and look their happiest during our day and left us with roughly 700 beautifully edited photos on a flash drive.
All in all, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Ed to everyone.

"Hiring Edward was hands down one of the best decisions we made when it came to planning our wedding. At first, while we absolutely loved Edward's work, we were unsure if we'd be able to make it work with our budget, but Edward was nice enough to tailor a photography package to meet our budget needs and we are beyond grateful that he did! During the planning process, Edward was also great to work with and was very helpful and prompt in answering any questions we had. Finally, the day of the wedding, Edward was AMAZING. We didn't even notice he was there, he was so unobtrusive, which was exactly what we were hoping for-- but when we got our photos back we were blown away!! Edward is a true artist who can tell in an instant what shots will work perfectly, and captures candid moments so beautifully. His lighting assistant was amazing as well. We have gotten so many compliments on the gorgeous quality of our photos and cannot thank Edward enough for capturing our day so beautifully! Finally, Edward is clearly passionate about what he does. When we first met with him, he said he loves to photograph weddings because he loves being around such joy and love, and that clearly comes through in his personality and his work. We cannot recommend him enough! Thank you Edward!!"

"Wow, Edward just blew us away!
We live in Toronto and found Ed in NYC to do our engagement photos. It was a dark, almost rainy day, my expectations were low but when we got our photos back we couldn't believe our eyes. Everything was full of colou]r and vitality. He really caught every single moment. During the shoot, we stumbled across one of those guys with giant soap bubbles in Central Park. Edward within a few tries caught the perfect shot. It was just unforgettable. To this day people talk about our soap bubbles.
We asked Ed to come to Toronto and although he was already booked the day after our wedding, he flew north and did a spectacular job!
He's very professional and courteous. I didn't hear a single person complain about him getting in the way. When everyone and their mother were trying to take a photo with their phone, Edward would say: "Ok ladies first, then me, then gentlemen." It was funny and we knew where to look at the right time. It kept things moving faster as well.
When my mom brought our photos to Costco to get them developed, the staff were like: "Oh it's the couple with the Soap Bubble!" His photos really do make an impact. He has a very distinct creative style and his composition is unparalleled. I would know, I work in the Graphic Design field.
Although Ed is moving pretty naturally through the procedures he has a very concrete plan that he shared with me, maybe I won't say much here for competitive advantage but there's a precision to him at a samurai level.
There's no other photographer I would hire but Edward."

"Hi Ed, Choosing you as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. The level of dedication and precision you exhibit when taking pictures is unparalleled. You were literally everywhere taking pictures and documenting our wedding weekend, but without us even noticing you being there. Our wedding day was incredibly long, but you were happy and energetic all day long. When we received the pictures, we were blown away. They are all so incredibly beautiful. We are so grateful for your amazing services. Your energy and sheer passion for your work were evident throughout our wedding. Thank you, Ed!!"

"We cannot thank Edward enough for photographing our wedding! We cannot stop talking about how wonderful he was--and, how unbelievably beautiful the photographs are. A complete professional, Edward met with us twice before our wedding day. He listened to what we were looking for and explained how he conducted himself the day of the wedding. He is attentive and responsive and truly listens during a discussion. He is also truly excited to be involved in a wedding day. Before meeting with Edward, we had completely fallen in love with his photo style and, after sitting and discussing his approach to weddings, we knew Edward had to be our photographer.
Our photos are absolutely stunning--Edward's use of light is spectacular and he takes such care in making sure every photo is meaningful and beautiful while still being completely natural. During the ceremony, and through much of the evening, Edward went completely unnoticed still getting unbelievable shots from perfect angles.
Edward is such a pleasure to work with--we couldn't have imagined letting anyone else in to photograph our day! Thank you!!"
