I had no idea how to choose a photographer - a friend referred me to Tibor and I am SO glad we worked with him and Gabriella. This experience was everything that it could possibly be - he was so professional, clear, and prepared ahead of time - we knew exactly what to do and where to go- at the site he knew exactly how to pose us, where to put us for the best light, and how to get the best shots.
He went out of his way to get us the best photos we could. Our results were so beautiful and we are just thrilled with them - we consider ourselves so lucky to have worked with him and will be back as the family grows.

I would HIGHLY recommend Imely Photography for anyone looking for a professional photographer. Tibor and his wife were extremely kind and skilled in documenting our wedding day. They made my husband and I feel so much more comfortable in front of the camera and guided us when we needed. They were so helpful and professional every step of the way. They were in constant communication with us and were also super quick in responding to all of our emails and questions.
I honestly can't say enough good things about them. Included in our wedding package was a beautiful book of photos that turned out amazing as well. They were also extremely flexible and understanding when we needed to postpone the wedding due to COVID. They were really organized on the day of the wedding - they had everything planned out ahead of time which made things run so smoothly the day of, which allowed us more time with friends and family on our special day. I could not have asked for a better team to document our special day.

Tibor and his wife Gabriella were absolutely wonderful! They did our wedding video and we could not be happier. They were so responsive and professional, and made everything incredibly easy and comfortable for us. The video and highlight reel are gorgeous and a beautiful blend of capturing the entire evening, including warm and intimate moments between us and our loved ones. Would absolutely recommend them 100000%!
