11Pine Photography

Absolutely the BEST photographers around! We chose Simo and Peggy to shoot our wedding after seeing the amazing job they did with my nephews baby portraits. After seeing these pics, we knew we didn’t want to go with anyone else. In their hands, the camera ceases to be an inanimate object and instead is used as their eyes. Their use of natural light in the photos makes the pictures more than just photos, it turns them into works of art. Simo and Peggy kept us laughing, are so down to earth and truly listened to what we wanted. I had recently lost both my parents and wanted to recreate a special photo from my parent’s wedding. Simo and Peggy took that pose and not only emulated my parents photo, but made it our own. When we received the pictures, I cried because I couldn’t have imagined it more perfectly! When my guests received our thank you cards, I was getting phone calls complimenting me on the beautiful photography! I can’t wait to hire them for all of our life’s special occasions!

Simo recently helped capture a moment I had always wanted to have on film, my proposal to my long time girlfriend. He, as well as his partner Peggy, were super professional, easy to coordinate with and very timely in getting the photos sent back to me after processing. Not only that, but they made the sacrifice to be out late, in a busy Rockafeller Center the night before they were supposed to catch a long flight.
Simo has an undeniable talent with photography and if I resided in New York, I’d hire him for any event I needed photographed. Stellar job!

11 Pine Photography is truly top notch! My husband and I are quite particular when it comes to photographers (especially when it comes to portraits of our child), and I must say 11 Pine exceeded our expectations. The owners of 11 Pine, Simo and Peggy, made the entire experience of our daughters portraits as stress free as possible. Furthermore, they came prepared, with exceptional props that made our daughters portraits simply beautiful.
Simo and Peggy photographed our daughter when she was 10 months old (let’s just say that is not the easiest age to get good photos of a very active, if you will, child). With that said, both Simo and Peggy were patient, professional, and it was evident they were truly naturals at their profession, for the entire process was seamless. They took more photos than we expected, for they are both perfectionists, and they would not leave their shoot until they were confident our portraits would more than meet our expectations.
The photos were absolutely gorgeous, and my husband and I are so proud to display such fine work. Furthermore, most photographers make you pay and extra fee for providing the disc of photos taken (some don’t even allow you to take the disc, rather you must choose a select few, then pay through the nose for the rest).we were given every single shot included in the price to do as we wish with them.
Our pictures came back promptly, as promised, and again, we were more than pleased with 11 Pine’s work. They are professional, reliable, and truly masters of their profession. They don’t simply take pictures, they create art with their work, and for that reason we will definitely be using 11 Pine Photography for all of our special occasions.
