BG Productions work ROCKS!!! I loved Cathie and Al from the moment I met them! They were very professional yet fun and their work speaks for itself. The pictures they take are unique and BEAUTIFUL! I have already used them for other services and plan to continue in the future!

Cathie and Al were amazing to work with not only on our wedding day but our engagement photo session as well! They were professional and fun—making us feel at ease and happy during both events. Their artistic talents shined through on on each and every photograph and frame of video that they took. I'm thrilled that we shared our wedding day with BG Productions!

Our Wedding was October 29, 2011. I reached out to BG Productions right away after reading reviews from Project Wedding / WeddingWire. I spoke to Cathie and felt immediately comfortable from our phone conversation. We scheduled an appointment to meet at a local Starbucks. Cathie (Photographer) and Al (Videographer) were so interested in learning about Andy and me. It felt to me as if I were hanging out with friends while telling them about our life together. They then proceeded to ask me questions and bring up ideas I had never even thought of. It inspired me and assured me that this Happy Couple will be sure to make me and Andy a Happy Couple on our Special Day. Not to mention their Photo/Video Package was priced perfectly.As the Wedding, starting approaching, Cathie and Al continued to keep in touch as I continued to follow their work on Facebook. They always have a Sneak Peak after their couples Weddings. I enjoyed reading all of their lovely comments with the photos. It gave me chills each time I read their postings. I couldn’t wait to be the Bride and Groom they spoke so warmly about. Our Day finally came! It snowed in October in PA for the first time in 70 years. Cathie and Al showed up, excited about how fun the photos will be with the pretty snow. They were right! Cathie and Al immediately fit into our day, as if they were part of the family. They constantly assured me as the day went on. I keep picturing Cathie during our first dance…as we were dancing; I looked down and saw Cathie lying on her side taking the most unbelievable shots. They controlled our friends and family and were by my side throughout the night. I can’t express my appreciation to Cathie and Al and am all teared up now with emotions as they truly are now so special to me. BG Productions are true artists and will hold a special place in our hearts forever. Thank you for making our day all it could be!Love, Katie & Andy

#1. Cat & Al Berrey-Green are the coolest people we have ever met.#2. Cat & Al Berrey-Green are the best photographers we have ever met.I cannot begin to explain how AWESOME this husband and wife team is! Firstly, they are so wonderfully down to earth, funny, and easy to work with. My family is still talking about how cool the photographers were at our wedding! Second, they go wayyy above and beyond the duties of a photographer. They helped with everything the day of, cheered us on when things got hectic, kept our crazy families under control, and even stole us away for an end of the night shoot so we could have some time alone together. Oh yea, and I guess I should mention how INCREDIBLE the photos are! Cat matched our whimsical vintage style perfectly, she captured every beautiful moment. I wish I could post some of the photos, they could be in a bridal magazine. They listened to what we wanted and their artistic style couldn't have matched ours better. Thank you Cat & Al, for making our wedding absolutely perfect. xo Clare & John

BG productions was the best decision we made for our wedding!!!!!!(other than my husband) It was meant to be that we found them, and knew right away. We found them online through posts of Facebook and we choose them because of their experience at our venue, the varied styles, and the price was right!When we met Cathie and Al, they knew our vision, the feel of the wedding, and we knew they could portray our wedding day exactly how we wanted to remember it for years to come. Leading up to our big day, we had a e-session in Chinatown, to get familiar with having our pictures taken and posing. They were awesome! We felt so comfortable and the pictures turned out unbelievable! The colors, the city feel of the pictures, and we delighted how they really captured our love. They made us feel relaxed, not rushed and talked us through every pose, and after this I had no doubt our wedding photos would be the best ever!!!!They communicate with you every step of the way listening to all my last minute concerns of rain and helping with any ideas I needed. Their experience and passion really show through! On our wedding day they came to calm me down as a storm swept through and kept everyone out of our way as we went to out “first see” moment. I loved our first see, it was very intimate, and Cathie and Al were the right people to have capture that moment!! Throughout the day they were there to take the best shots and I loved that they really enjoyed our wedding, and they were our guests!!! They even let us sneak away for our last pictures of the night, after dancing all night, we look tired and happy and I know they captured every emotion of that day. They were awesome that day and impressed us and our family even more by posting sneak pictures the same night, and within the next day posting 20 sneak pictures!!!! When we got our photos everything was perfect including the wrapping of the package, to the pictures on the cover. There were so many great shots and I loved the editing that really made our pictures unique. We got the coolest mini accordion book, its the perfect brag book that I will show to anybody who will look!!!!! I tell everyone who will listen that we have the best photographers ever and we cant wait for all the many more times to see them and have them capture moments in our lives.

I used BG Productions for both photography and videography for my June wedding. Their prices are very affordable which enabled me to get video too, which I don't think I otherwise would have gotten, but am thrilled that I did. Cathie has a great "eye" for shots and takes beautiful photos while Al is super talented with a video camera. Not only are they extremely professional, but they are a lot of fun to be around! Their passion for their career really shows! They were just as excited as I was on my wedding day. It was a pleasure to have them there. I highly recommend BG Productions for Photo and Video.

Strong work ethic, master photographer and videgrapher are just a couple of descriptions that come to mind, when I think of BG Productions. Lazarus and I have just had the pleasure of working with BG Productions for our wedding this past weekend! Cat and Al were AMAZING! 13 hours of non-stop work! Cat let no photo opportunity slip through her fingers!! Whatever it took from laying down on city streets, to exact timing she captured everything!!! AL belongs in Hollywood filming!!!! Al truly put my dreams together and show cased this in a sneak peak which brought my whole family to tears, I can't wait for the finished product! Al has a smooth way of capturing everything without the cameras in your face!It does not stop there. BG Productions stepped in when certain things did not go as planned for the wedding, there wore many hats! My day was amazing bc of them! Lazarus and I look forward to using BG Productions for many future events!!! They will always be are one and only photographer and videographer!

Cathie and Al were unbelievable! We received so many compliments--not only on our photos but also on the personality of the photographers themselves! I would recommended BG Productions to anyone. Cathie and Al are so much fun to be around--they put you at ease and get the most beautiful, detailed shots. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to capture my special day. If you are reading this review right now, don't bother looking for any other photographer--Cathie and Al are amazing! We also got our full DVDs of photos really promptly after the wedding, as well as many great 'sneak peek' shots beforehand. They are definitely the best wedding photographers in the Philadelphia area!

We just got our pics and video today and I am so thrilled and impressed. It didn't take that long to get everything only about a month. We have only looked at the outtakes and the short video and love them! I can't wait to comb through all the pics and watch the long video with my husband. Thank you Cathie and Al for doing such an amazing and wonderful job! You guys are the best! Cathie and Al made sure to make me feel very comfortable and not so nervous. I would recommend them to anyone.

Love BG! Cathie and Al really set the tone for the day - as soon as they arrived, all the stress melted away and we started having fun! They were very easy to communicate with leading up to the wedding and on the day of. All our friends loved them and the pictures look amazing! So glad we added video at the last minute and so glad they were able to do it!

Cathy and Al are wonderful to work with. They are professional and organized, yet their upbeat fun attitudes allow you to feel comfortable and relaxed all the while keeping things moving on your busy wedding day. Cathy was able to capture exactly what we wanted our wedding photos to portray. From the pictures of us together to family photos and all the little details in between. The photos tell a story of our special day from beginning to end that we will look back on for years to come. Since it has only been a few weeks since our wedding day we have not yet had the opportunity to see our video, but we have no doubt that Al will do an excellent job. His sample videos that we have seen are professional and creative and we know that he will create a video of our special day that we will cherrish through the years. We would highly recomend BG Productions! Alex and Chris

Me and my wife-to-be (at the time) contacted Al and Cathie on short notice about a month or so before our wedding on 7/24. Luckily they were able to move some stuff around in their schedule in order to book the date for us. They were both so accommodating with respect to our budget and what we wanted. On the day of our wedding they did a fantastic job helping get everyone in order for photos and offering some really cool ideas for picture locations, etc. When my wife and I got the photos back...WOW...they exceeded our expectations! They really captured so many beautiful moments.My wife and I are expecting our first child in Dec/Jan and will DEFINITELY be using Al and Cathie for the pregnancy, baby and family photos!!!

I have been meaning to write a "love letter" to Al and Cathie, but wanted it to be in a public forum so they couold get the recognition they deserve! My husband Brad and I met Al and Cathie actually last minute (and by last minute I mean a few weeks) until our wedding because our photography plans fell through. Being left without a photographer on the most sacred day of our lives was not a consideration, so this DIY Bride was on a hunt! Because Brad and I were already members of mywedding.com, it was easy to review other services in the area. The moment I looked at Al and Cathie's work - I was in love! Their style is so refreshing, fun and distinctive - and miles in creativity from any other photographer I had ever seen. I could only hope that they had a last minute opening for us! And to my surprise - they did! Al and Cathie were accessible from the moment I reached out to them, and after a quick email and phone call, we met them for coffee. From the moment we met this loving couple, it was like sitting with old friends. They were funny and attentive, but most of all, passionate about bringing their special style to our wedding day photography. I think they were as excited as we were! Also, because we were working with a budget, they worked with us regarding pricing and a package that suited our needs. It was a match made in wedding heaven! I could go on and on, but the photos speak for themselves. BG Productions is a team of true professionals, and every detail in their work speaks to that fact. To this day, I always get asked about my wedding photos, and we have even been featured on some blogs such as the Indie Bride! Since then, Al and Cathie have definitely become apart of our family, as they have been there for every precious moment of our lives, snapping and filming away. From the day we brought our preemie son home from the NICU to his first birthday and every occasion in between, they have gone above and beyond to accomodate us. I am honored to call them friends, and am so overjoyed that they have been able to share their talents with us. I would recommend them a thousand times over!

WOW WOW WOW! They are AWESOME! I don't even know how to say enough about them. Cathie and Al shot our wedding a few weeks ago and I cannot even begin to count the number of compliments they received from our guests, and especially our wedding party/immediate family. They were so fast at getting through the pictures (we all appreciated that during our outdoor photo shoot in nearly 100 degree weather). At first, we were nervous about a videographer being "intrusive" but Al was so slick you really never knew he was there. Not only are their prices very reasonable, their work is high quality (just check out their portfolio) and they have a level of creativity in their work that I have yet to see elsewhere. Beyond the great prices and amazing work, they are just great people. We met with them twice beforehand and they are just so fun to be around and talk to. Cathie was there for me when I was stressed out beforehand and really treats you as a friend. They threw a Client Appreciation Party and invited their clients into their home. Another example of how much they care about their clients was when our Best Man could not attend the wedding due to a new baby. He wanted to make a video of his speech and play it at the reception. We were lacking equipment, and Al and Cathie offered to bring their laptop and projector to make it happen (in addition to all of their other equipment!). I will recommend BG Productions to everyone I know. We even had girls asking if they would travel to their home state for their wedding. They are literally the best and you definitely will not find a better value for your cost!

We had an amazing experience with this company and the quality of the pictures were beyond our expectations! They also provided incredible and creative services that were completely reasonably priced. I would recommend them to any family member or friend getting married or needing this service for any occasion. They were professional and friendly from beginning to end.

Cathie was a pleasure to work with. She was easy to get in contact with and very professional. We had weather and timing issues on the day of the wedding and she kept her cool. Her work is beautiful and I would definitely recommend her.

Cathie and Al from BG Pro are the BEST at what they do and provide a great service for couples trying not to "break the bank" at their wedding. Our pictures turned out beautifully, and we barely even noticed Al snapping away! Everyone at our wedding commented on how friendly and non-interfering he was. Thanks again for giving us such beautiful memories of our special day!
