A Brief History

Official Photographer of President Roosevelt

During the 120 years we have been in business we have been chosen as “The Official” photographer to five U.S. Presidents (Roosevelt, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson and Carter –Their work is showcased in the Presidential Libraries.)

In 1974, we started our own Professional Photo Lab to insure the best quality and care for our clients. In 2006, we started making the albums right here in our lab. Our clients accrue many benefits, since we do not need to outsource to other companies.

In 1997, Jay Perskie bought, what would become, “The Glass Slipper Wedding Center”, where Perskie Photographics currently has its storefront. We went completely digital in 2002. The early switch to digital has positioned Perskie to continually offer our clients something fresh. In 2006, we invested in album making equipment. We now have complete control over the quality and designing of the Perskie albums. Our latest project for 2010, the photobooth, is a great product that our couples enjoy. More to come!
