Marie's pictures are the perfect balance of photojournalism and portraiture. Each time I look at them I feel as if I am reliving the magic of the day, all the emotions come alive again & again.

We can't tell you how happy we are with our wedding album - it is absolutely gorgeous! The quality and detail are amazing. Every single time we look at our album we are so happy.

While brides noted that Marie “is a perfectionist, so she may take five to ten minutes setting up one group shot,” everyone agreed that the wait is worth it. “Every photo she took was great. We had such a hard time picking which ones we wanted in the album since they were all so beautiful. She really captured the day and everyone who shared it with us.”

I can't say enough good things about Marie Papp Photography. Marie and her staff were very professional and truly talent artists. I did not realize that weddings get so hectic and family is your toughest quests but she handled them with ease, buffered me from the stress, which help make my special day great. Seriously, I'm a pretty good armature photographer. In fact, everyone asks me to take pictures for their special occasions...so I have a very critical eye for photography. I am so happy with my photos. I highly recommend Marie Papp Photography she didn't get award "The Knot Pick" for nothing. She's worth it!

Marie captured all the right moments on our wedding day. From the preparation to the portraits, from the ceremony to the reception, she got perfect photographs, paying attention to the slightest details (she even got copies of the marriage license signing and dressing our dog for the ceremony!) Every time we review the album we our taken back to that day and can remember every detail. We highly recommend her as the right person for your special day!
-Elliot and Mounib, Manhattan, NY
Marie was the best!!! she is the most creative photographer I have ever met... and accommodating too!! My wedding was originally in Hoboken, and due to hurricane Sandy, it was moved to NYC. Marie stopped at nothing to make sure she was there and even did a few favors for me in Hoboken the day before). She was amazing and a lot of fun to work with. Her photos are so different, and we LOVED our NYC street shots. I would recommend her to anyone looking to have their wedding day captured in an AMAZING way!!

-Stephanie
Marie Papp was a wonderful photographer. She went above and beyond all our expectations. It poured rain the day of our wedding (we got married during hurricane Hanna) and while we got beautiful pictures on the day of, we didn't get many portraits outside. Marie offered to take additional pictures, so we got redressed and took photos all around Hoboken. The Hoboken pictures are amazing. We couldn't have been happier with her level of service and professionalism!
-Christine
I have beautiful photographs of my wedding and, bottom line, that's what you really want. Marie was a consummate professional who was unobtrusive at the wedding and captured all the key moments. The pictures speak for themselves of her talent-the reason I went with her. She is remarkable in ability to capture the most beautiful pictures. Overall, I would HIGHLY recommend Marie. She took the best pictures I have ever seen, and I receive compliments to this day on her work.
-Christian
Getting married has so many details I almost forgot my photographer and when I came across Marie Papp. I was move by her work. It's an honor for myself and family to have such a wonderful photographer. I can hear music throughout each photo I can see a love story and that's what I want to have for my wedding day. I realize when you get married it's a one-time event it's better to have three awesome photos than 100 regular photos.

Marie immediately put our daughter at ease and she was able to take some pictures that truly captured her at her best.

Headshots
"Marie was such a pleasure to work with. The whole process was great. She listened to what I was looking for, helped brainstorm great options, and was even up for spending a few hours out in the cold in the winter to do outdoor headshots. And she made the whole process fun. I absolutely love all the photographs Marie did for me and I would hire her again in a heartbeat for my next shoot."
-Gerardo Contino, Musician
“I highly recommend Marie. Her photos are amazing, and she takes the time to capture just the right expression in her subjects. Very professional, and great to work with.”
-Owen Yost, Musician
“Love Marie! Her dedication, passion and love for photography and people always come across in the photos that she takes. And you’ll have fun shooting with her – she’ll make sure of that. To anyone looking for a professional and fun photographer… look no further!”
-Morgan R., New York, NY
“A picture is worth a thousand words. A picture by Marie Papp Photography is worth 10,000 words, that are glowing, wonderful words. The result, I believe, helped me get more work, to have people call me, and I think that’s all you could ask for. I would totally recommend Marie Papp Photography.”
-Frank Marciano, Esq.
“If you are looking to take professional head shots then you should definitely go to Marie. She prepares you well for the shot in her Hoboken Studio by advising what to wear, makeup, hair, etc., and on the day of the shoot she makes you pose/rotate your face and upper body to achieve the perfect angle for the headshot – very few photographers do that.”
-Ashwini S., New York, NY
“It took me a few years and being published alongside other professionals to finally make the decision to “invest” in professional headshots. After getting the results, I am now kicking myself for not having this done many years ago. Marie was so easy to work with and she assured me that it would be a fun and easy experience and that I would love my new photos. I have to say she was correct and now I have a very polished looking headshot that projects my professionalism. Thanks, Marie!”
-Kirk Sanderson
“Marie Papp is truly a pro. She is detail orientated and worked very closely to make sure my hair is just the way I like it. She even helped select my wardrobe and accessories that would look best on camera. She would show me images in the middle of the portrait shoot to make sure I was happy with the results. My new headshots are great, natural but very professional at the same time. She guaranteed that I would love my new headshots and I do!”
-Maria S., Hoboken, NJ
“I couldn't be happier with the headshots I had done with Marie Papp. We got the shoot scheduled and pictures taken, touched up and ready for me to use all within a couple weeks. The entire process was professional but enjoyable. I would definitely recommend!”
-Ann C., Hoboken, NJ
“Five stars is just not enough for me to tell you how FANTASTIC Marie is as a photographer. Not only is she professional and one who enjoys her craft, she's witty as well. I'm one who doesn't like to be in the forefront, but with Marie, I felt so comfortable. I loved every photo she took and the time went by so very quickly! I plan on using Marie again. I highly recommend Marie. She's great to work with!”
-Michelle H., Dagsboro, DE
I love Marie! She's been taking our company headshots and holiday card photos for a couple years now. She gets along with everyone in our firm really knows our good angles, haha. We always have a great time at her studio and look forward to next year! I also really enjoy her baby portraits!
-Bernadine So
Had a great experience with Marie Papp for professional headshots. She is a talented photographer and artist, and fun to work with. She took the time to get the right angles and looks. Marie made it a priority to ensure that I was very satisfied with the final product. I would definitely work with Marie again.
-Randall LaFleur
I asked Marie to take some headshots and portraits for me. She did a great job and spent a lot of time with me. The retouched photos came out great and the turnaround time was only a few days. Overall I definitely can recommend Marie's services! Very happy with the finished photos.
-Tim Gillespie
Marie Papp did an amazing job with my recent headshots. She was very professional and provided excellent advice on wardrobe pairings before we started taking photos. She can be counted on as a top choice for either business or personal photography.
-Matthew Boyer
I recently visited Marie Papp Photography to get a business headshot taken in order to update my LinkedIn photo and provide a professional photo for an MBA program that I'll soon be entering. During the session, Marie was very consultative and helped me choose a winning look among many outfit, accessory, and make-up options that I brought in. She was also able to accommodate my short timeline - it took less than 1 week from when I called to make an appointment to come in to when my photographs were digitally delivered to me. Highly recommend!
-Emily Walker
Marie does wonderful head shots and takes time to make them fit the person. I asked for an outside green space to highlight my love for the outdoors. My profile photo here is an example of Marie's great work. She offered the use of professional make-up artists and/or a hairstylist. I choose to use a makeup artist per Marie's recommendation and it went very well. I recommend her to anyone seeking photographer needs of any type. Thank you, Marie!
-Susan Botarelli
Marie is a wonderful woman to work with. She creates a comfortable and fun experience in a way that's professional and never awkward. She knows how subtle changes can drastically change the impact a photo has on its viewer, and she took the time to make sure mine reflected exactly what I wanted to say about myself.
-James Fining
Marie Papp is a pleasure to work with. Through subtle adjustments to lighting, angles, and wardrobe she ensures the desired image is captured. Very professional and talented photographer. Would recommend for corporate headshots and marketing materials.
-Lynn Therese
Marie was very professional and very good at what she does! She was very thorough and considered all the angles and lighting alternatives. She understood very well what a corporate portrait should look like and the kind of smile that it needs. I am extremely happy with the results and will recommend to all friends who needs their portraits done!
-Frank Waung
I cannot overestimate the experience I had with Marie. It had been over a decade since I had photos taken, and she made the process fruitful and truly enjoyable. She is a great photographer and excellent professional. I have received rave reviews and many kind complements about my photos. I absolutely love them! I recommend anyone who needs headshots or photos to contact Marie Papp. You will thank yourself for doing so, and you will be forever thankful for your experience with this outstanding artist and very kind human being.
