Photos of the Heart had a quality that no other photographer/videographer had-perfection. When we sat with Ives, he took his time (literally hours) explaining his techniques and showing us his work. Ives had two piles of pictures, good pictures and bad pictures. He would test us to see if we saw a difference of the two. Then he would point out what was wrong with the picture and would explain to us that timing is the key element. Also he explained to us if he knew that the picture he just took was going to be bad he would take another picture to make sure that the picture would come out perfect. See Ives taught us the importance of picture taking and how the setting is important. For example if theres a shadow or reflection of the flash bounce off the window, or have a car drive by in your background, he would make sure that none of that would happen. Ives felt that he was at a disadvantage because he was the first photographer that we saw, but really he wasn't at a disadvantage because when we met with the other photographers we didn't see what we saw with Photos of the Heart. Thats because Ives took the time and showed us what to look for. At the end we went back to Photos of the Heart and booked them. Our wedding is not until next June 2005. Can't wait for them to take our pictures.

Ives and Debbie were wonderful throughout the entire process, from planning to performing. They are organized and they truly are professionals, and in my opinion, the best photographers in Long Island. On our wedding day, they were very organized and performed every task efficiently and quickly. We would recommend them highly if you value your wedding pictures. Also, after the wedding the proofs were ready by the time we were back from our honeymoon, and our thank you's were ready within a month after the wedding. We selected a package of 62 pictures, and we ended up upgrading to 200+ pictures in our 2 volume wedding album because they were all absolutely perfect pictures. We didnt want to cut any. They are passionate about their work, and it shows in the results. 10++++ for Photos of the Heart!!!!!!!!!!!

There isn't enough space on this website for the tremendous amount of praise we have for Debbie and Ives Morris of Photos of the Heart. They made our wedding an absolute dream come true. They were extremely helpful with the scheduling of our special day. Their 'little hints' helped our entire wedding day flow with ease, from the limo to the florist. It's their personal attention to detail that makes Photos of the Heart stand out from other photographers. They are always available to answer questions and are helpful in selecting just the right photo package. Ives and Debbie are true professionals! They were able to capture such beautiful pictures that normally might have gone untaken. They were tremendously successful in even getting the shiest member of our family to smile. Our wedding photos are so dear to us and also to our families. The mother of the bride keeps her 'little girl' close to her by using a wedding photo as the wallpaper on her computer. Getting the perfect shot is what Photos of the Heart is all about. They don't just see a photograph, they see a memory that will last a lifetime! Thank you, Thank You, Thank you Debbie and Ives for making our wedding day so special! We can't thank you enough for all you've done!!! You're the best!!!

My husband and I planned our wedding from out of town- 7 hours from Long Island, so we did most of our vendor research online. We decided to use Photos of the Heart because of their stunning pictures in their online gallery and because of the enormous number of positive testimonials (in fact, we couldn't find a single negative review out there for Photos of the heart!). We picked up our proofs two days ago- and we expected to see beautiful pictures. We were not prepared for what we got… elegant, magical, magnificent, and fun pictures that captured every moment of our special day. During our first meeting with Debbie and Ives, they were very interested in learning about us. At the time, we weren’t sure why they wanted to know so much about who we are, what our interests are, and how we found each other. When we got our proofs back it was very evident why they took so much time to get to know US and our STORY. They captured our personality and who we are in each picture. They also managed to capture the personality of our family members- whom they had never met before! They not only captured who we are, but the strength and story of our love personified through each photograph. Going through the proofs the other day, we saw the emotions, love, guests, moments, and details of our wedding told through a story of photographs- something that we will treasure for a lifetime! Debbie and Ives are truly gifted and talented in their work. At our first meeting I was a little stressed after hearing a quote from a DJ that was way out of our price range. Ives assured me that I would be able to find a DJ in my price range, and then provided me with phone numbers and cards of DJs that have provided entertainment for weddings that he had photographed. Ives gave me background information on each DJ company and what their ‘style’ is. It is very rare to find a photographer (or any vendor for that matter) who is so interested in helping YOU and making sure that your day goes smoothly. Debbie and Ives took care of us and made us feel so comfortable with all the plans leading up to the wedding. I highly recommend using Photos of the Heart for wedding photography. You will not just get a photographer, you will get peace of mind that your wedding will go smoothly and that every detail will be captured. Debbie and Ives treated us and our wedding as the most important thing and the only wedding that matters. Ives took many hours to sit down with us and review details and timelines- which helped make sure that everyone was where they needed to be and when! I can’t possibly say enough good things about Debbie and Ives- but I don’t need to- just check out their website and the galleries they have online (that’s only the start of what you will get if you pick them as a photographer!) To Debbie and Ives; thank you for sharing your gift and talent of photography! We were blessed to work with you through this process and look forward to designing our album. You captured our day in a beautiful and elegant way that will be treasured through our lifetime. Thank you again for your dedication, time, personal touch, and talent.

If I had to go back and choose my vendors all over again Ives and Debby of 'Photos of the Heart' would be the first ones I would lock up. They were great from 6 months before the wedding, when we booked them, and are still great now 3 months after the wedding. We got a pretty big package because photos were very important to us and we couldnt ask for more meticulous and precise work. Very proffesional. What I found very comforting and my wife did as well was that after we chose our proofs and went to see Ives, we sat down at his home and spent 3 hours going over all the details of how we wanted the lay out of our album to go. Now this is absolutley necessary when dealing with 120 picture digital album. Very few Photographers offer this kind of service and attention and thats why we were extremely happy with our decision to go with Photos of The Heart. We would like to offer our sincere thanks once again to Ives and Debby Morris
