"Paul Reitano is not a normal guy. Be glad for that, your wedding memories won’t look like everyone else’s and you won’t spend hours with some yawn-able jackhole. I should know. Paul captured our wedding at the Philadelphia Ethical Society in black and white back in 1999, one of his first wedding gigs. Looking back at those images, I wholly feel that day: surreal, evolving, loved. I don’t even remember Paul shooting the ceremony, which is pretty stealth for someone who is otherwise so filled with big life. It’s still true 20 years later. I should know. Paul invited me to second shoot a wedding last year and I owe my life to him. I do! Had he not plied me with Gatorade, power bars and joyful encouragement, I might not be here with the news that he brought that level of zest to every part of the day, from set-up to break-down. To Paul, this isn’t a rote job, it’s capturing the zeitgeist, so you can look back 20 years later and feel it like I do." - Lynne C.
"Paul is one of New England’s best! I called Paul with a mighty ask…a wedding shoot just hours before the event…crazy, I know! But Paul cleared his day and was all hands on deck. He was so easy to work with and excited to capture the special moments of the day. Paul was very organized among all the unavoidable chaos of a wedding and was open to any requests we had. He managed to capture each special moment of the day. Before we could even think what a great photo opportunity a moment was, Paul was already there snapping the memory. His turn around time on the images was fast and he shared them in an incredibly user friendly platform; which was an added bonus since it made sharing photos with family and friends such a breeze. The photos were absolutely stunning and the images will bring back memories for years to come. From start to finish Paul was a joy to work with and truly went above and beyond for our family. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a great photographer of the utmost professionalism.” - Lauren
"As a guy who scowls when confronted with a lens, I was apprehensive about Paul Reitano coming to my house to take a photo I needed for the cover of my novel. Paul knows how to break an uptight demeanor down into something natural and relaxed. He does this not only with limitless enthusiasmfor his art, but for his own high standards. Paul will not give up until he gets not only what he wants, but what you want as well. If you need aphotographer who will capture what lies beneath the surface, then latch onto Paul Reitano. " - Vincent Panella, author Sicilian Dreams
"I've been fortunate to work with many talented photographers over my career as a writer, and I've come to learn that capturing images that excite and light me up afterward requires a balance of creativity and authenticity from the photographer. My short time with Paul proved fruitful in this -- walking in the woods for an hour, he was engaging, calming, and genuine while continually setting us up for beautiful shots. He respected the needs of my illness and disability without question, and incorporated their presence into the shoot,too. We finished with images that captured an aspect of my whole human-ness no other photographer has. I'm thankful and thrilled." - Jacqueline Raposo, author The Me Without
