We used Steve as our photographer and TJ as our DJ. Steve was great and captured terrific photos that we will treasure forever! He was also very quick at getting them back to us. TJ was a fantastic DJ and we had people on the dance floor all night! Would highly recommend them both! More...

New Image Studio’s communication was efficient and timely. Steve took the time to answer questions and create the perfect plan for my wedding day! Austin, the DJ, did an amazing job with the playlist, timing and communication. My wedding day was truly amazing and perfect, made possible my New Image Studios. The photographers made me and my family comfortable, with a professional touch. Steve even took the time to help me navigate a photo that was initially left out of the gallery. He allowed me to advise which photo I liked best. Steve edited and returned the photo in less than an hour of our zoom call. My husband and I couldn’t be more happy with the photos and DJ services.

New Image Studios: 4/5 Our pictures were absolutely beautiful! Lisa was very creative with my accessories, and Greg had some interesting ideas as well. The only reason I had to bump down a star was because there were a few times where I felt that the priorities were only with the shot. For example, he had my husband jump off a 2-ft ish rock with his sword (note: not a prop, this is a real sword). Sounds awesome, but for the shot to work, he couldn't look where he was landing; he had to look at the camera. He ended up falling in to dirt, uninjured (thankfully), but his white tunic had a big dirt smudge on it. Fortunately, his cape covered it during the ceremony. There was also a little miscommunication regarding our timeline. We had discussed in our planning call that my first look with my dad would be at 3, so I was trying to have myself and my ladies ready by 3. The day of, he insists it was 2:30, and he wanted my husband's sisters for a shot at around 2:15, None of us were close to being ready yet. It caused a bit of chaos, and we had to rush to be ready in time. The reason we started getting ready so late was because our secondary photographer wasn't coming until 1. It takes longer than an hour an a half for 6 ladies to do their own hair and makeup ... especially when the bride is doing everyone's hair. They only let the 2nd photographer stay for 4 hours, so in order for her to have time for the ceremony, she has to come later. So other than the slight miscommunication and the time constraints, Greg and Lisa did an excellent job with our photos, and we would recommend New Image Studios. Music Express: 5/5 We had DJ TJ, and he did an amazing job. I have an older family, so we had a tiny group of people on the dance floor. He was really good at reading the crowd and playing music to fit the vibe. TJ has a fun sense of humor, and we had a blast! We would definitely recommend him! More...

We used the photographer, videographer and DJ. All 3 were amazing! Our DJ Austin was unbelievable, and played everything we requested along with other awesome songs to keep our dance floor full. Steve and Melanie were awesome too, very flexible but also very efficient. I would recommend them to everyone! More...

We had Steve and Chris work the photography and DJ at our wedding and they did a phenomenal job. We originally were just going to hire Steve but our family friend DJ fell through a couple weeks before the wedding and so I reached out to Steve to see if we could add on the DJ package and he made is such an easy harmless process. Everyone involved with the wedding party getting all the photos taken absolutely loved Steve. He was quick, efficient, and funny and came up with some really artistic beautiful shots on the spot. All of the preview shots he showed us on the camera already looked amazing so when we got them we were blown away. I also loved having full download rights to the full gallery with no watermarks. Chris was a great DJ that seemed play along with the energy of the dance floor and everyone out there dancing was having a great time that we even extended our DJ time by 30 min (which they ended up not charging us the extra time because everyone was having so much fun). Overall it was such a seamless experience working with them and everything turned out perfect. I would highly recommend working with Steve and Chris to anyone looking for professional photos and music. More...

DJ TJ and Melanie are an awesome duo! They both were great at making suggestions and being able to bounce ideas off of them. If they suggest running to all of your guest tables for group pictures during one song, do it!! Everyone had so much fun. The planning was all laid out before we had our initial meeting, it was nice to see and start to work on at our own pace. We received our photos quickly and they turned our great. Definitely suggest DJ TJ and Melanie! More...

If I could give New Image Studios a 100 out of 10, I would. Steve, TJ, and Melanie were amazing to work with, and made the process of everything so easy. Wedding planning can be extremely stressful, but they helped me figure everything out, and my big day turned out perfect. Both my brother and my uncle used New Image Studios for their weddings, and so it was only natural that they were a part of my wedding as well. If you want someone who makes things super simple, gives great services and products, and creates a fun environment while doing so, please don't wait to hire them. My wedding photos turned out amazing! And everyone continues to talk about how much fun the night was and how TJ kept playing their favorite songs. The virtual photo booth was also a big hit, and I loved seeing everyone having a great time. I cannot thank Steve, TJ, and Melanie enough for making my day nothing short of amazing! More...

Both Steve and Chris were wonderful! Very professional, flexible and organized from beginning to end. We're elated with the results from our day and would highly recommend them to anyone! Not to mention, they were so very reasonable with pricing and variations from the original plan. Look no further, New Image Studios is the best choice...hands down! Thank you so much for making our day extra special and that much easier! More...

Steve Poland was very responsive from the very first email and even now when there are questions about fixing pictures that aren't quite right. The outside pictures are terrific. Unfortunately the weather didn't cooperate to have the ceremony outside. Would highly recommend Steve. Our DJ was Jack and I don't think we could have been any more pleased with someone else. He was even able to teach the dance steps to most of the popular wedding dance songs. He helped to keep the entire evening flowing from the ceremony to the last song. Our daughter's wedding was outstanding with the help of these 2 gentlemen. More...

Steve was our photographer and we could not be happier with his professionalism and service! He gave helpful insight and guidance for capturing the best shots and making the most of our time on wedding day. Jack was our DJ and he did a fantastic job getting everyone involved and having fun together. He was high energy yet very organized, professional, and was essential to our events running smoothly. Both of these gentlemen helped ensure our wedding day was a success and we cannot thank them enough. Highly recommend! More...

Fantastic services and great people to work with!! They did my brother's wedding so I already knew they would be great, but the quality of photos we got back is unmatched. They are super fun and easy to work with as well and really get to know what you personally want out of the experience. Cannot recommend New Image Studios enough (especially our photographer Melanie!!) More...

We had our wedding in the middle of August this year. We utilized both DJ as well as photo booth services. Our DJ (TJ) did an awesome job of keeping the dance floor covered the whole night! He was also able to keep the schedule of events flowing well and was easily heard throughout the venue. We also tried out their new social photo booth that they offered and really liked that as well. The booth allowed you to do regular photos, boomerangs, or gifs. You were able to print out the photo and/or send it to your phone so you could keep it! We also got every one of the photos/boomerangs/gifs to keep as a digital file. This company has a lot of experience in the business and I would recommend to anyone looking for DJ and/or photo booth!

New Image Studios was absolutely amazing! We had to change our wedding date and that was no big thing to them. Melanie took amazing photos…my husband and I love looking through them and reliving one of the best days of our lives, and we got our photos back much sooner than expected. All the guests had so much fun with the Photo Booth and we love looking back on those as well …you get an awesome book of all the photos taken. TJ was the absolute best DJ we could have hoped for! He played great music (we were on the dance floor the entire reception), the shoe game was so much fun, and he matched my sarcasm…on point. 10/10 do recommend!!! More...

Steve and New Image Studios were absolutely amazing! I hired them for my wedding and my wife and I couldn't of been happier. They were by far the best priced, and delivered everything you expect from a professional photographer on your perfect day. They were prompt, had excellent communication, and were on top of the schedule needed to maintain a seemless ceremony/reception. All photos were delivered to us afterwards in a timely manner, and turned out perfect. I couldn't have wished it any better. Thank you Steve! Amazing company. More...

Steve is the best! He photographed for my brother’s wedding which is when I first met him and he has been nothing but caring, compassionate, and understanding. His work speaks for itself! He knows what kind of photos to take during certain positions, but he also lets you do whatever you want! He will take the best photos for you and work around what you want. He made the photos the day of run so smoothly and took so many amazing photos that we will have forever and be able to share! I will recommend him to anyone I know!! More...

What’s the secret to keeping a party dancing all night long?
A DJ that knows how to read a crowd, feel the energy, and pace the music to make sure not to burn them out too early. A crowd will non-verbally tell you what they want to do if you're paying attention.
How would you describe your ‘style’?
DJ: we get our style from interviewing the client to see what best suits their guests. People like to dance to the era of music based on their ages so knowing that will give us a range to work with.
Photography: our clients aren't unpaid models that have to adapt to our "style". We need to know our client's style so they'll be comfortable working with our photographers. It's very much a collaboration.
What makes photo booths such a great alternative to traditional photographers?
Photo booths aren't a substitute for traditional photography. They are a fun and interactive experience that gives the guests a take-home memento of their event.
What photo booth props do you offer?
Hats, glasses, signs, and a guest signature book, plus a USB with all the picture files
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
The comfort and trust of the subjects. Making it a fun experience. Besides photos we direct, sometimes we'll just back off and say, "Be yourselves", and we get fantastic results.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Have you ever had a bad experience with a DJ or photographer as a guest or part of a wedding? Knowing what they don't like will tell you more than asking vague questions they may not know the answers to.
What do you love most about your job?
We get to create lifelong memories for a newly married couple.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be honest, seeing so many people doing it badly. It became a challenge to overcome the negative stereotypes of poor photographers and DJs in the sales process but when our clients experience the passion and dedication of our staff, followed by some great reviews, it makes it all worth it.
