What Clients Are Saying About Deborah K. O’Brien Photography
One could not ask for a more professional and personable wedding photographer than Deborah O’Brien! While staging natural and poised group shots with exquisite care and design, we never felt “ordered around” or stiff with discomfort. Deborah was like a very talented friend in the wings– capturing impromptu moments that were magical in retrospect and finding some way to always create gorgeous images, no matter what the lighting or challenge
She gracefully, graciously shot dozens of family portraits to maximize the chances that everyone looked their best and she listened carefully to all our suggestions and concerns since it was a second marriage. Both black and white and color shots were crisp, vivid and breathtaking. Always courteous, punctual, and joyful, she contributed to the overall tone of the wedding in this amazing, yet always inobtrusive way. Recommending her highly is as easy as accepting my husband’s proposal– a unequivocable resounding yes, is all I can say!

Great photographer! posted 12/2/2010 (updated 12/2/2010)
Deborah Was our photographer for our wedding this past May. She was fantastic! Before the wedding she asked for a detailed list of the types of pictures we would like, names of family members and the wedding party. The day of the wedding she knew everyone by name and was able to capture every moment that we wanted. She was there every step of the way and continues to be after the wedding to ensure the final products are exactly what we wanted. Her photographs are beautiful and we are so happy that she was a part of our big day!

Amazing photographer posted 11/2/2011
Deborah was our photographer for our May 2010 wedding. She is an incredibly talented photographer and a pleasure to work with. Deborah was great at always setting up the right shot, and making sure to get all the shots that we had requested. Furthermore, her use of lighting and backdrop was incredible! She is also extremely friendly and personable. We could not be happier that we chose Deborah to photograph our special day!

Deborah was amazing posted 11/2/2011 (updated 11/2/2011)
Deborah and her staff were amazing photographers and captured the most intimate moments of our day. The pictures came back very quickly and she’s been so helpful with assisting me with my wedding album and my mother-in-law’s album. The photographers seemed to capture everything yet were not “in your face” as some photographers can be. I highly recommend Deborah for your wedding.

Great Photographer! posted 11/1/2011
Deborah was the best! We can’t stop looking at all the wonderful pictures she took of our wedding. Deborah was incredibly easy to work with. She was organized and made sure she had a list of “must have” shots as well as names of important people, which made our wedding day run much smoother. What we enjoyed most about Deborah was how personal she made the experience. We never felt like she was interfering with our fun, rather she was busy catching it all on film. Deborah took unbelievable pictures and lots of them! She is clearly a hard worker and really provided us with photos we will cherish forever.

Beautiful beachside wedding posted 11/3/2011
Deborah O’Brien captured perfectly the feelings and emotions of our special day. We did extensive research into photographers in Connecticut and were looking for someone who had experience in beach weddings and who was affordable. We knew within moments of meeting Deborah that she was the one. She immediately made us feel comfortable and answered all our questions. Once at the event, she was in all the right places at all the right times and captured all the shots we wanted. She choreographed perfectly romantic portraits of me and my husband, and sentimental family and friend group shots. I wholeheartedly recommend Deborah! You will not be disappointed.

Fabulous photographer! posted 11/2/2011
Deborah O’Brien photographed our wedding in April 2010. She was fantastic. Very unobtrusive and yet she got all the right shots and more! Deb made everyone feel comfortable and the pictures were absolutely beautiful (which was greatly appreciated since we are a ‘mature’ couple)! Deb’s flexibility, creativity and people skills really made our experience with her a real pleasure. Our album is beautiful. Every moment captured and the story of our wedding beautifully told through the photos. We also found her pricing to be very reasonable. We now consider her our ‘family’s photographer’ and we know that when our daughter and son marry…they will not have to look any further than pulling up Deb on their contact list when it’s time to hire a photographer. Too bad we can only give her 5 stars!

Deborah was wonderful. She has a great eye for the right moment, came prepared for all situations, came early and stayed to the end. She has a huge selection of photo displays, but is able to work within the desires of the couple. I would use her again in a minute.

Great, personable Photographer posted 9/29/2011
Deborah is a lovely person to work with — unobtrusive for the candids, but all business getting large family groupings to stand still and pay attention! We had decided on a list of family shots we wanted before the wedding, and this helped prepare our guests for what they were going to be asked to do. Deborah took lots of beautiful pictures on our wedding day — so many good ones that we’re having trouble deciding what to choose! I’d highly recommend Deborah O’Brien.

“Deborah was recommended to us by the restaurant where we held our wedding ceremony, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with this recommendation. Not only were Deborah’s photographs beautiful, capturing our excitement and joy that day, she was lovely to work with. I won’t hesitate to hire her again.”

I would definitely recommend Deborah O’Brien as an event photographer. She photographed ouw wedding and was extremely professional as well as had a great eye for the best shots. She also worked well with other amateur photographers, who can sometimes be a problem. In addition, she is a really nice person. Nancy Wisecup Tar

“Deborah is a lovely person to work with. The slide show she created with some of our daughter’s best wedding photos is drawing rave reviews from our family. “
We were very happy with Deborah O’Brien, and would recommend her without reservations!
Dave and Barbara (Le Chateau)
With very high regards… we would recommend Deborah O’Brien Photography. She was absolutely wonderful to work with. Attentive to detail, thoughtful and insightful for adding/changing things to help us make our package perfect. Her commitments were on time and her response time for working with us during our wedding planning was great. We heard nothing but great things about our pictures from our guests and positive feedback about her personality during our function; which is extremely important when someone is working amongst your family and friends. You want that person professional yet friendly and easily accommodating. She had all those qualities. High recommendations without any hesitations. Jill and Vinny

Hi Deborah,
Well, we’re back from Vegas and were pleasantly surprised to see you had the photos up on the website already! I’ve added my family’s names so they can view the pictures as well. You did a FABULOUS job with everything! These pictures are perfect and I can’t thank you enough!! You captured everything beautifully and I am so happy you were our photographer! I will be sure to recommend you to anybody I know getting married or needing a photographer.
Thanks again for capturing this special day so perfectly! It flew by so quickly I’m so relieved that you were there to get everything on camera!
Zbynek and I are truly grateful!
Sincerely, Jenn (Stonehenge)
ehz – 12/14/11. We used Deborah for our son’s Bar Mitzvah and she was so nice! She put my son (who did not want to be photographed AT ALL) at ease. She took all requested photos and was very unobtrusive in her photo taking. She really captured the fun and spirit of the day!
