Absolutely, we would recommend Story By Photo! They felt just like old friends who just happened to be taking our wedding photos. The pictures came out better than I ever could have imagined. We have received nothing but complements on the photos and how amazingly beautiful they came out. I would recommend Gino and Heather to every soon to be married couple.

Truthfully we wish we could get married again, so that we could have the

Gino and Heather from Story By Photo are amazing protographers. They are not only passionate about their work, creative and have an eye for great photographs. They also are professional, compassionate and wonderful people.

The photographs by Story by Photo do tell a story, a story that lasts a life time.

Gino and Heather did a phenomenal job. We look at our pictures often and they clearly tell the story of the day. Our friends have told us our pictures look like a spread in a magazine, and we look like professional models – it was all in the photography! People look at our pictures and tell me they wish their own pictures had been this good. I would absolutely recommend Story By Photo!

We would highly recommend Story by Photo to anyone getting married. The photgraphs are all artistic and creative — each picture is a work or art. In fact, we have select some of our favorites and have them displayed throughout our house. They captured our day perfectly in a collection of photo memories that we’ll cherish forever.

Perfect arrangements, and perfect pictures. 2 years after the event you would wish that you had hired these two, the memories were captured wonderfully.

Story by Photo not only met my expectations but they surpassed them! I was married September 10, 2004, in Florida during hurricane season. My wedding was snuggled nicely between hurricane Francis and hurricane Ivan! Talk about a stressful time. Gino and Heather did so good at keeping us focused and making the day go as smooth as possible. Being that our outdoor wedding area was condemded the week before our wedding after hurricane Francis I thought that our scenic beach photos were going to be less than appealing. Boy was I wrong. Gino and Heather have such an eye for beauty and an artistic streak that cannot be contained. I would recommend Gino and Heather at Story by Photo to anyone that will listen!

Gino and Heather were the best! They made everything so relaxed and calm. They even acted as wedding coordinators, timing everything prior to the ceremony. Our pictures turned out great and the thing I liked best was they didn’t make everyone pose. It was very fluid and natural (although, some shots didn’t turn out as well — but that day, it was worth it). I would recommend them to everyone! Thanks!

Very unigue style. This is not your average Wedding Photographer but takes more of an artistic approach. Made the day extra special and we loved the photo’s.

I love Story By Photo! The pictures turned out just as I had hoped. They’re magical! And the # of pictures taken was astounding. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional images that are out of the ordinary, boring, “posed” pictures!

Story by Photo took my breath away with how they captured the most romantic moments of my wedding. In every picture I look back on, I not only hold the moment, but the exact emotions I experienced on my wedding because of the way Story by Photo captured that magic. I truly encourage EVERY bride out there to invest in the best photographer out there and from all my research, it is definitely Story by Photo!

My husband and I had met with several photographers and we were growing more dissappointed with each visit. We were looking for someone that we “clicked” with and had fabulous work. We met with Gino and Heather and hired them before our meeting was finished. They were so down to earth and made us feel so comfortable not to mention that their work is amazing! Everyone at my wedding loved them and at the same time you would never have known that they were there, now that’s a job well done! They are the only photographer we would refer and have done so already several times. They have clients all across the globe and travel for many of their weddings which just goes to show that Story By Photo is the best in the business.

Our wedding day will surely be a memorable day thanks to Story By Photo. They worked so hard and diligently to capture every special moment, and it shows in every beautiful picture. Gino and Heather were very professional and fun to work with. I will definitely recommend them to any future bride- or groom-to-be.

When we first met with Gino & Heather we knew that they were the ones we wanted to photograph our special day. We had met with several photographers prior and researched over 30 different ones in the Valley. We were getting frustrated because we were seeing a few great photos and then the rest were just okay, and we weren’t clicking with anyone yet. Story by Photo immediately clicked with us. They are fun, take amazing photos and truely care about what you want and the quality that they represent in each photo they take. I’ve already recommended them to many brides and will continue to do so. They have it all!

John & I would highly recommend Story by Photo. Gino and Heather are professional gifted photographers that captured the romance,laughter, and beauty of our day. We will spend many years enjoying and sharing the stunning artistry of their work. We were thilled with the incredible images of the details of my gown , the flowers, the ceremony site and the candlelight reception. But most of all Gino and Heather brought a expertise of capturing a look into our hearts displayed in our eyes, our smiles, and momentary gentle gestures of the overwhelming love and happiness felt that day. The DVD Montage is a breathtaking work of art in itself and is the perfect showcase for Gino’s romantic artistic flair. We are very happy we chose Story by Photo.

Gino is fabulous! He has a wonderful eye for getting capturing the essense of the moment and making it come alive. He’s also very flexible, very reasonable and very professional. He makes you the centerpiece and nothing else.

By far, THE best!

Pocket Wizard Flexx TT5 and Mini TT1 test findings by Gino Lucadamo

Carried over from previous review on www.digitalweddingchat.com

“A tad frustrated as ive not gotten the range on these that I got since I first turned them on, since I turned them on!

Used these for the first time on a shoot. Dependable as hell up to about 30ft and around 1 wall (drywall) at the same time. 40ft in high sun and no obstructions about 52ft at night with no obstrutions. Put a average sized truck between you and the reciever and you can cut those numbers in half.

They have some things you have to learn, these wizards are not much like the ones of old. You need to connect with at least 1 shot to “connect” to them. Then your assistant can walk way with the slave flash and it works fine.

The thing im not liking is if your assitant happens to be 30ft away and you decide you want to use that flash, it often times will not connect. They need to walk back to within 3-5ft of you and then it connects. Then its all good.

A tad frustrating indeed.

I have done extensive testing with 3 different sets with friends here locally and have come to the conclusion im 80% happy with them.

The thing is, I will ONLY really be using these on beaches and in bright sunlight when the St-e2 does not work. Keeping that in mind, 30ft is plenty of range for most Wedding Photographers. Commercial guys might want to wait until version 2.

Ratios work well on them simply by placing the St-e2 on top of the transmitter. We did a bunch of testing for accuracy until 1am and concluded they are good to go with the exposures.

We mixed them with the original wizards to find out if the much shorter viable range of these had to do more with the SENDING of a signal or the RETURNING of the ETTL, indeed it was the return. When using the Mini TT1 with a previous generation Plus II we got about 110ft. Switching the Plus II back to the TT5 we got back down to 50ft.

So the “short” is definately in the units processing of the Ettl and sending data back to the camera.

These are like a new relationship, you have to learn what they do and do not like and it might take a bit of time to learn all the the ways it likes to be touched. Im going to do some more tests when we get back into the Country next week and put up some more pics and also my test video which I hope you will all find very thorough and unbiased.

Pocketwizard has a great product on their hand here that will be even better with soem firmware updates no doubt. If they could increase the range im sure the commercial shooter nerds would be appreciative as well.

Pros: Hotshoe placement (Ease of use,  plug and play), USB updatability (FIRMWARE updates on the way), Build Quality, No need for brackets, velcro, tape etc, functions flawlessly with previous Pocket Wizards.

Cons: Not 100% dependable over 30-50ft, Channel buttons could have had better placement.”
