    Hiring Creative Compositions

    Meeting with Steve was a bride-to-be’s dream come true. Seeing his work, discussing our options, and planning how our wedding will be captured totally put my mind at ease. The price is right, too!

    The Best! Highly recommend!

    I cannot even fully put into words how amazing Ernie is! From our first meeting, he made the process so smooth and easy and we felt like family. Everyone warned us that picture taking on your wedding can become a lot but we never felt like that because we were laughing and having a good time with it. They went above and beyond the entire day (he even helped my dad to tie his tie that morning)! When we received our proofs, we were blown away. Each picture was better than the next. We could not be more grateful to Ernie and his team for capturing the amazing memories of that day. If I could give more than 5 stars, I definitely would and could not recommend them more.

    I can not begin to explain how wonderful Erine and his team where. From our first meeting we were given top notch service, Erine explained everything to us and helped us pick the package that worked best for our wedding. He didn't just sell us a pre made package on a list. He was great with following up and making sure all our T's were crossed and I's doted.
    The day of the wedding his team was beyond belief. They were super helpful and easy going, fun to be around all day. You are with your Photographer ALL DAY AND NIGHT! They were a blast. His daughter worked our wedding and she was like one of the bridesmaid by the middle of the day.
    Our pictures are beautiful and more then I could have ever imaged. Purchasing our pictures and picking our thank you's a breeze! Seriously look no further this is the phtotogepher you WANT and NEED!

    Ernie was absolutely amazing and did everything in his power to make sure my entire wedding day and experience was exactly what we wanted and he captured every special moment of the entire day. From the very beginning starting with your initial consultation, Ernie took his time with my husband and I to make sure he knew what we were looking for from him and to make sure he could deliver nothing less than our expectations. Our wedding day was that much less stressful knowing we could trust Ernie to capture our memories of the best day of our lives and he did just that. Our pictures are beautiful and we have so many options to choose from for our album. Unfortunately It rained on our wedding day (we didn’t care and it’s suppose to be good luck) so we couldn’t go to our original spot planner for our wedding photos but the rain didn’t worry Ernie. He knew how to work with the weather and to still deliver amazing photos while keeping me sane in the process lol. I would highly recommend Ernie and his team for any special occasion if your looking for a reliable and trustworthy photographer and have high expectations like myself.

    Creative Compositions, a.k.a. Ernie, photographed my daughter's wedding two days ago.. sheer perfection. Ernie was on time, responsive, kind, meticulous, professional, artistic...yes... But there is more. He paced the event along with the band..and throughout the day, he reassured the bride and groom, with his relaxing demeanor and gentle manner. Without even seeing the pictures, we are so thrilled with CC. When he knocked on the bride's door at sunrise, the wedding officially began. I would never do another event without Ernie a d his crew. It was magical. He was there but he wasn't..every now and again some spontaneous thing occurred and we looked up and there they were. The absolute best part was when he swooped the happy couple outside when the rain stopped to get magnificent garden shots amid the flowers. When the party is over, and you return to normal, it is the pictures that bring you back to the romance and grandeur of the wedding. Pictures count! And we can count on Ernie to create memories that will last a lifetime.

    It was such a pleasure! These guys are great! Kept us laughing so you get nice natural smiles. Very flexible, especially with my work schedule! They were very accommodating. Steve did such amazing job on our engagement and our wedding pictures are breathtaking. Hands down the best wouldn't go anywhere else. Called creative compositions for a reason!

    I recently got married on August 12th, 2017. Ernie and the crew at Creative Composition came highly recommended by people I trust in the entertainment business so I knew I would be in good hands. However being a nervous bride I did not know what to expect. Ernie and his crew blew all my expectations away! Ernie was always so friendly and answered all my questions. He sat with my husband and I and took time to really listen to my wedding vision and understand my crazy bridal thoughts. He was always patient and answered my emails and phone calls quickly. The day of my wedding was a dream! It flies by so fast and Ernie and his crew were there making sure every step was under control and captured. He made sure we remained on our timeline and all photos were taken prior to my guests arriving so we were able to enjoy the wedding. It felt like they were a part of my family and friends by how comfortable my bridal party, family and husband were around them! We had an absolute blast taking photos and laughing all day long. After my wedding we received a preview of our pictures that week and the rest of our photos shortly after. We had so many to chose from and they really captured the love and happiness of the day. I would use Creative Compositions services for any of my future parties and would definitely recommend them!

    We had the pleasure of working with Ernie. He is outstanding!! His attentiveness and flexibility were such an asset to us during our planning process. The day-of he was so accommodating and provided us with much needed comedic relief. We loved working with Ernie and Creatuve Compositions. Their professionalism and wonderful attitude are what make me recommend them to friends and family!

    Ernie from Creative Compositions photographed our wedding and we could not have been any happier with our decision! Ernie's talent coupled with his warm and easy going personality made him an absolute pleasure to work with. He was very thorough, prompt, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. He even called the day before the wedding to check in and make sure everything was okay. Two weeks after our wedding we received over 2,000 photos! Our wedding photos are stunning! They are a perfect balance between traditional and photo journalism. We have so many beautiful photos that I'm finding it impossible to pick which ones we will include in our album. I highly recommended him to all brides!

    What can I say about Creative Compositions? Steve and Ernie did our Engagement photos as well as our Wedding photos which passed on February 20, 2016. Steve went above and beyond for my (now) husband and I, even for our engagement photos we had an immense amount of photos to choose from, so many amazing shots! I can't wait to see our wedding photos, we only expect nothing but the best from Steve and Ernie. We were so taken aback by how thorough of a job Steve, Ernie, and their crew did -- we expected great work but we got FANTASTIC work, couldn't be happier! We would recommend Creative Compositions to anyone and everyone!

    Ernie put bigger smiles on every member of my bridal party than I have ever seen before!!! My best friend used Ernie years ago and recommended him. My fiancé and I sat down with he and Steve and liked him immediately. His personality was infectious and his business sense and professionalism were honorable. He and Steve work beautifully as a team and their talents are glaringly obvious. Steve always has a smile on his face and puts people at ease! Ernie literally throws himself into his job and will do what it takes to get the shot. He has a keen sense of what will work best for the couple and makes every effort the day of and prior to the wedding to really understand your likes and dislikes. He is great with kids and all family members. He went above and beyond and made a pit stop to see an ill family member without hesitation because he knew it was important to us as a couple. I recommend Creative Compositions without hesitation. You won't be sorry!

    Creative Compositions has decades of experience working at Long Island's finest catering halls and wedding venues and it truly shows. Steve and Ernie, the co-owners of Creative, are both exceptionally professional, caring, warm and funny, and pay incredible attention to detail. Setting up our package was a wonderful experience. They have so many options for photo albums, large prints, and custom thank you cards and are very helpful with decision-making.
    Steve was our lead photographer for our wedding and he was a breath of fresh air. He melted into the background when necessary, capturing all the behind-the-scene shots, and stepped up to direct everyone - even calming my mom down when my flower girl was an hour late! He was engaging and fun, and most importantly, he captured shots at our venue, The Carltun on the Park, that only an experienced professional would have attempted including shots from outside looking through a window, reflection shots in the foyer mirror, and shots through brick columns that framed us so well.
    We received our photos within a few weeks after the wedding - 1600+ photos, and spent hours looking at the slide show. The shots were incredible. Wittling down the collection to only 100 for our album was a challenge, but in the end we will have the most gorgeous album, not to mention stunning prints for our home. I cannot say enough amazing things about Creative Compositions and I wish there was an option for 6 stars! Amazing Amazing Amazing!

    Ernie and his team at creative compositions are the best! We had such a great time with them on our wedding day. They added an aura of calm and fun to what can obviously be a very stressful occasion. We just got our proofs back and we are thrilled with them. You would have thought there were eight photographers since they got everything. They were also as accommodating as possible every step of the way. These guys are the best!

    We're a couple from Southern California who traveled to New York to get married this past July. We were initially concerned about hiring a photographer from another state who we wouldn't have time to meet with first. We were so impressed with Ernie's photos online, however, that we decided to hire him sight unseen.

    This proved to be the best decision we could have made!

    Ernie has a keen eye and a knack for capturing the unique essence of each person he shoots. We were absolutely thrilled with the way the pictures turned out and now have keepsakes for the rest of our lives.

    We'd hire him again for any occasion, and HIGHLY recommend him.

    Thank you so much Ernie for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

    All our best,
    Steve and Christina

    Ernie was beyond AMAZING... From day one we met him to sign our contract until our wedding day, even days and now weeks after our wedding, his responsiveness was impressive! He is a true artist with a beautiful soul... Getting our pictures taken by Ernie (all of our Engagement, Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding Pictures) was just FUN and delightful! We were left with over 2500+ picture alone from our wedding... And picking the best "100" was one of the toughest things i had to do... Because every shot was better than the one before. He has an eye for the perfect light, perfect location and perfect moment! He captured all the feelings of the moment - he made us feel like movie stars! Selecting Ernie for his services was the best decision we've made for our BIG Day... We can NOT wait to have him photograph every single special day of our lives in the future.. Because we know that we will not only LOVE "how" the picture LOOKS, but also remember very clearly what we FELT at that very moment when that picture was being taken by Ernie... Hands Down- a TRUE ARTIST!
