Ivan Apfel Photographer

Hi ladies!

I've been engaged since March but I'm just now starting to plan the wedding.  I met with Ivan Apfel as a photographer this weekend and really liked him.  I would like to book a photographer this week.  He has good reviews, but I wanted to know if any of you have any input on him or know someone who has used him and what their thoughts were.  Particularly, I would like to know how people liked the final product, the photos and photo albums after the wedding but any input is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • Many girls have used Ivan and absolutely love him and his work. If the reviews are mostly positive and you liked him, I'd book him.

  • My daughter used him for her engagement photos and her wedding photos and he was wonderful! The final photos were beautiful. She didn't get any printed photos or an album.
  • In November of 2010 I decided to hire photographer Ivan Apfel for my wedding in March 2011. I had hopes that I would have received a digital cd with the high resolution pictures already, being that it has been almost three years since I hired him and since my wedding took place over two years ago. It is now October 2013 and we have yet to receive our pictures from the actual wedding day along with a response letting us know when they would be ready. We have been more than patient and unfortunately up to this point he has yet to complete the service we agreed on and after numerous failed attempts of contacting him I have decided to take action since he no longer responds to either mine or my husbands emails or phone calls. The one time he did respond, it was to tell me that he couldn't find my pictures. What professional photographer loses photographs and does not have a back-up of his work???  I have also reported him to the Better Business Bureau, to which he didn't respond either. Beware of hiring him. You might not have any photos to remember your special day even after spending a fortune.
