Duval Photographers & Videographers

Looking back at my wedding album and video
I can’t believe what I paid for
They don’t take good pictures and the video they are following the guest more than the bride (me)
Waste of money

I would give this place 0 stars if I could, held my wedding pictures after paying in full. Not given what was promised. They were great for my engagement but horrible for my wedding. Old fashioned templates, photography was a bit amature. Ruined my wedding photos for spending thousands… heartbroken truly

This is a fraud company. They don’t have an office and use fake names on their emails

Joel and his ‘manager’ have stories and excuses, and wasted my once-​in-​a-​lifetime sacrament experience. They had two locations in Wantagh in 2013 and keep moving

Photography was great.
However, very disappointed with the video. The video quality is not even HD. considering that wedding videos are a big deal, Duval did not live upto the standard. The video kept shaking and the voice was not even dubbed properly. Also the editting was below average and the transitions between the clips wasnt satisfactory.
Also, have to mention that the service by Elizabeth was not upto the mark. We did not receive our stuff until 6 months after the marriage. We were delayed and given excuses everytime and response over the phone was rude at times. However, after speaking to Joel he made sure our process was speed up.

This place was the most unprofessional wedding vendor I could have ever imagined working with. These guys have a contract that specifies when each deposit is due with the final payment due when wedding video and album is complete. My wife and I followed all the rules and made every payment as indicated. When it came time for the Album to be complete, Duval didnt have it done but still sent a bill stating that we owe our final payment. We sent a polite email asking why the final payment is due when the album and video isnt complete? We got a nasty response from their «accountant» aka either Joel or Elizabeth posing as an accountant. They said that circumstances beyond their control (whatever that means) has made it impossible for them to have the album and video done in time. However, we must pay the final payment so that they «wont throw out our order with no refund of the previous deposits we have paid». Once we received that email, we responded asking them to please accept payment when the product is complete as indicated in their contract. Their response to that was that we are irresponsible and delinquint in our payments and they have no choice but to throw out our order. I called the store and spoke with Joel (obvious by his voice). I said, Joel, can you tell me what is going on?” He claimed to not be Joel and said that Joel is not in. He said he was «Harold Peterman» the district manager… more BS… He said its in our best interest to pay the final bill or we will be sorry. My wife and I had no choice but to pay or risk losing our wedding pics and video. We waited and waited and 5 months later, we received the video and album. No one should ever have to have to deal with a wedding vendor that holds their product hostage when it was clearly the vendors fault. I spoke with others who had a very similar experience who also hate Joel or Harold Peterman.
As far as the quality of their product, I give them a C-​. Very amatuer work. So many better options elsewhere.
DO NOT GO TO DUVAL!

I worked with Duval on two family events over the past year and a half. Very friendly and accomodating. Our photographer was John both times and he was excellent. Couldn’t be happier with them.

Photography and video.
These guys are great. We (my family and I) have used them over the years and have always been completely satisfied — they do an excellent job.
Very nice people — family owned — and they know what they are doing and will work with you on the price to get you what you want.
