Adam photographed my oldest Daughter’s wedding… the photos, and the service was so good… there was no doubt we would hire him again for my youngest daughters wedding as well. We were just glad he was available, because the experience of working with Adam on a Wedding day is a joy. I’ve worked in the photography industry myself for more than 20 years. I’ve seen a lot of great photographs, and I know a lot of great photographers. Adam’s work is some of the best photography I’ve ever seen… but it’s not just his extraordinary technical skills that set him apart from other top photographers, it’s his people skills. Adam is the kind of person that I would be happy to have at my daughters wedding, as a guest. He makes it easy to be photographed, his easy going manor puts people at ease, from the kids to the grandparents, and most importantly, the Bride. With just bit of simple easy direction he was able to to capture in photographs the beauty of my girls at their best. And, he handles his business as a professional, with appropriate communication, before, after, and during the wedding day. He was a pleasure to to business with. I whole-heartedly recommend Adam Levinstein Photography

Adam has been our photographer for virtually everything! I found him through a friend and I am so grateful for it. He took beautiful photos for my yacht wedding and even did my sisters wedding after! Taking photos on a ship can be hard with all the random light changes but he made sure to get the best angles and edited our photos to perfection! I’m obsessed with having him as our photographer for everything even baby photos for our twins lol. He’s wonderful at his craft, but the man behind the camera is why we will always use him. He’s truly a great person and worth every penny!

Adam was great to work with. He did our engagement photos and we then flew him from Cali to Minnesota to do our wedding. He is so personable, professional, and great at what he does. Not just the best shots, but also amazing editing of the landscaping as well. Highly recommend.
