Giandomenico Cosentino Photographer

WE loved shooting with Giandomenico in New York! Not only did he understand what we were looking for, but he directed us in the photos so that they turned out even better than I imagined. If you are someone who sometimes feels unsure of how to "pose" for a photo, he will help you feel and look comfortable. he made the whole shoot fun -- it felt like just hanging out with a friend. He was also easy to contact, responsive, prompt, and flexible. The photos are gorgeous. Would definitely work with him again!!

COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL and only looking to rip off foreigners and take your money!! It's worth noting, I have never wrote a negative review in my life. However, our encounter with this "luxury wedding photographer" was so abhorrent and disturbing, I want to warn others so they do not make the same mistake we did. This "photographer" was recommended by our Italian wedding planner. He was nice at first, but unfortunately things quickly changed. After paying our 1000 euro deposit (MORE THAN 9 months before the wedding date), we found out that the wedding venue required us to use their photographer and that rule was non-negotiable. Because we were planning this wedding from the States and were unfamiliar with this situation, but we had no other choice but to cancel with Giandomenico. We politely and timely told Giandomenico that we no longer needed his services because we wanted to keep our wedding venue. Because it was (at least) 8 months prior to our wedding date, and his contract said we could cancel up to 6 months prior, before paying a cancellation fee, we thought this would be no issue at all... I mean, it is the wedding industry, plans change, right!? Think again. Not only did he refuse to give any part of the deposit back (despite paying it shortly before then and him doing absolutely nothing), HE PROCEEDED TO HARASS US FOR THE FOLLOWING MONTHS. He sent numerous emails and text messages threatening to ruin our wedding, threatening to sue us, and other nonsense, unless we paid him the full amount!!! I cannot make this up. Remind you, we cancelled more than 8 MONTHS before the wedding, we were letting him keep his 1000 euro deposit (for literally doing nothing), and most importantly, it was completely within the terms of HIS own contract. YET, HE CONTINUED TO DEMAND MONEY FROM US. We thought it would stop after we just ignored him, but he continued to send harassing/threatening emails and text messages. Never in my life have I experienced such an unprofessional, rude, pathetic, unhinged person claiming to be a "professional luxury wedding photographer," who apparently needed money/business from us that bad, that he had to go out of his way to cause stress and havoc on a happy couple's wedding. Again, this was someone recommended to us (lol), we didn't even know him and he certainly didn't know us. All he knew was that we lived in the States... which is my only guess for why he treated us this way, as we were nothing but nice to him. I should say, we never saw the quality of his work, perhaps he takes good pictures..... but in my opinion, he's NOT WORTH THE RISK. There are many other talented, kind, PROFESSIONAL, and well-deserving photographers in this region that would be 1,000% percent better than this one.

I like to define Giandomenico as a discreet, silent but very attentive director of a day that has been perfect for us. Always present but never intrusive with a great sense of the "right" times which on that day of great enthusiasm and also of beautiful confusion is really very useful and necessary. It has left no fundamental moment behind for us and no detail of the most beautiful day of our lives has been overlooked. Just in these days we are making the wedding album with Giandomenico. Regarding the selection of selected photos I think it is a beautiful story of a beautiful day of celebration, joy and love. Highly recommended by both me and my husband.

From the first meeting with Giandomenico my husband and I felt at ease. Choosing him as a photographer for our wedding was the best choice we could make. We appreciated his work from a to z, Giandomenico was able to be present and discreet at the same time, he helped us and advised us in many moments of marriage as an event planner! The photos are magnificent, I would choose it a thousand times! With his collaborator they really worked in a crazy way! Thank you guys, Giulia and Laurent

We trusted him for our wedding and it was the best choice we could make !! Thanks to his photographs we have wonderful, spontaneous memories of every moment of the day that we could relate to forever .. I think the photographer for such an important day is a fundamental choice .. With him we have made a center, a true professional !! Now I'm pregnant and we have chosen it again to make our memories indelible !! I really recommend it to anyone who wants to make a moment of their life special !!
