Erica Reade Photography

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

When I'm not shooting weddings, I’m a total beach bum. This might sound like an oxymoron coming from a native Montrealer, but I adore the ocean (and very much dislike winter). I swim and surf whenever possible, and I get out to the Rockaways as often as I can. I do a ton of beach photography, including a series about couples at the beach, and I’ve been published a few times, including here and here. If you see me at the beach, come say hi, and let’s have a frozen drink together.

Erica was a dream to work with! She captured my engagement and wedding photos so beautifully - I've gotten emotional and cried happy tears each time I've gone through our gallery of photos for the first time. I can't recommend Erica enough - she is thoughtful, professional, super talented, hardworking, and just an all-around great person. I'm so grateful I had the chance to work with her!

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

As a wedding planner, I have the opportunity to work with some exceptional vendors and Cassidy is on this list! She is professional, kind and easy to work with on behalf of the clients and through the details and changes that come with wedding planning. On the day she is prompt, classy, discrete and confident in directing wedding party members to get the best shots. I look forward to working with Cassidy again and will continue to recommend her to my clients.

Tess and Julia Weddings

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Our names are Tess Mayer & Julia Wang and we are photography duo based in NYC. We met our freshman year at NYU Tisch and since then have run a magazine together, worked as teaching assistants at ICP & NYU, and shot our first wedding our senior year. Our style is a blend of candid documentary and stylized portraiture - we approach your day not as strangers following you around, but as excited guests (who happen to be carrying around cameras and massive lenses) who will most likely cry during your vows. We love small, intimate and relaxed weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We knew Tess personally and contacted her about photographing our wedding because we were fans of her professional work. It was one of the best choices of our no-frills wedding. We chose to get married at the courthouse in downtown Brooklyn on a Friday morning with family and then have a separate party in Williamsburg the following night with family and friends. With Tess, we were able to put all the photography stuff on auto-pilot and never worry about it. The planning process was extremely easy. Once we got her price (which was more than reasonable and a really good value) and paid half for a deposit, she blocked off the two days she would join us. Other than planning to take an extra hour or two after the Friday ceremony, that was all the preparation that went into it. She may have scouted the area in person or via map or just known the area. Either way, she was really in control with a plan once we got there. On the day of the ceremony, Tess came to the courthouse and basically just worked her magic. We were able to go on with whatever we had to do and Tess just moved around and through us taking photos opportunistically. She got some action shots of us in the waiting room and signing the papers and some portraits with our flowers and family. Tess's major strength is finding amazing scenes in the moment, and you don't even know they're happening. She has an amazing eye for pictures. And best of all, she captured them with us being able to go on with our day, barely noticing her darting around us. She of course photographed the little ceremony in the courthouse and then we took about an hour in the big hallway for family portraits. She was fast at organizing us and snapping through all the necessary combinations of people. Very efficient. Then we went outside with a smaller group and went to a few nice locations nearby. On the steps of a municipal building, crossing the street to a little park, and then the subway. It was fast, it was efficient, and we didn't even know until later how amazing the photos really were. They are not average photos. They are unique and artistic and beautiful. Once again Tess found the little scenes happening in front of us. She really has a great eye for framing and light. We didn't know just how cool they were until we saw them later. We then took a 30 minute subway ride getting some classic New York shots. On the second day, Tess arrived at the location of our party, and once again it was stress-free. She spent 2-3 hours weaving through the crowd capturing action shots of talking, eating, drinking, dancing, and also was very good at putting groups together every now and then and taking group portraits. It was the least hassling part of the party. Maybe a week or two later she sent us a link to the photos. She sifted through all of them (somehow), got rid of the bad ones, and touched up the good ones. We were able to download the folders of photos so we could share with our friends. Later, we ended up printing some glossy pictures of our favorite artsy shots from outside the courthouse and on the subway to put up in our apartment. And from time to time we print some little ones for little frames too. Whenever we want, we can tap into our repository and remember the great weekend. All in all, there were 500-600 photos that amazingly captured everything we would've wanted without us worrying if anyone was there to capture it.

Miami, FL

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Hey there, I'm Joy! Years from now when you look at your wedding photographs, I want all of the memories and emotions to come flooding back: the joy, the love, and the laughter. It’s so easy to live our lives, missing the sweetest moments because how quickly they fly by. Those sweet in-between moments that can be so easily missed are my favorite to capture. Whether it be your candid smiles, the tears shed on your wedding day, or your beautiful family laughing together, I find joy in capturing you being YOU! I love photography because through it, I’m able to share pieces of your story and create lasting memories.

Joy made us feel special and relaxed in the midst of a hectic day. She captured our love so beautifully and delivered photos that looked effortless and natural, which is exactly what we wanted! So much of that is owed to her encouraging words off-camera that made the environment feel comfortable even while being photographed. She wholeheartedly lives up to her name and brought sunshine to our already bright day!

North Brunswick, NJ

Just a little bit weird. Usually the quiet one until I get around a smaller group of people. I cry easily at any emotional part of a movie, and I love all the tiny moments in life that truly make you feel alive. The smallest detail or fleeting moment is sometimes the most important thing or has the biggest impact, and that’s why I love photography. I get to capture the little things in life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richel is an absolute gem!!! We booked with her 2 years ago via phone, and my husband and I said after that phone call, “she sounds so sweet and fun”, and that she is!! We officially met Richel at our engagement shoot at Laurita Winery and her energy did not disappoint. She knew exactly where the good lighting was and just made us feel comfortable. My bridesmaids surprised me with Richel meeting us at a winery for some pictures at my bachelorette party and I was in aw. Then for the wedding, her and her fiancé Steve were sooo much fun to work with! They followed our timeline, got so many good angles and just overall had a great time. Highly recommend.

Sam Hurd Photography

Washington, DC
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

I'm an empathetic person. I'm sensitive and in tune with the more spiritual side of life. I love travel and photography. I am a mother and a lover of fashion and nature and all things beauty. Coffee is basically my favorite and what makes me hop out of bed (even on Monday morning). I have a lot of energy and I love fitness and eating healthy. I love my girlfriends and have deep relationships but only with a handful of women who I trust. Loyalty is important to me and I believe in doing all things with love.

Denise was so fun and easy to work with. I stressed about the look of my photos and interviewed over a dozen photographers before finding Denise. Her photos are true to your vision while staying with her art. I’ve only received samples and I cannot wait to see the rest. She was so communicative and reassuring. Could not recommend her more.

We knew the moment we met her that we had made the right decision. As soon as I saw her on my wedding day she gave me the biggest hug and interacted with my bridal party and family like they were her own. Truly a wonderful experience. We will forever be grateful for Loretta for being able to capture our big day.

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. But it all began in Siberia, Russia where I was born and raised and was supposed to live happily ever after working in the financial department of an airline company. But after a few years I decided to make a big change and move to New York City, the city that conquered me with all of its happenings, grandeur and diversity.

My partner and I decided to elope in NYC, we’re from Australia so I was stressed when it came to finding someone to capture our day. From the moment I spoke with Tatiana I knew she would be perfect for us! She was so easy to work with and made having photos taken a fun and enjoyable experience and not to mention they look amazing. I’m so happy with my experience with Tatiana and I would recommend her to everyone.

We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots!

I am a fine art, documentary wedding photographer. My background in painting and fashion editorials provides me with a look that is timeless yet raw, and filled with emotion. I prefer to document in a natural way, with a mix of real life moments and a few naturally posed portraits. I embrace darkness as well as light, blur, grain, and anything that helps me tell your story in an authentic way. The thing I am most passionate about, are real people, and real moments. The best things find you in the ‘in-between’. My images will always reflect the truth of your day, shot in a a timeless, artistic way, with a classic and clean editing.

Michelle of Michelle Scott Photography is an absolute jewel to work with! I have had the pleasure of working with her for both weddings and editorial shoots. She is a true artist, has an amazing way with light and shadows, and her professionalism is unmatched.

Hi, I am Sasha. I am the creator of Sasha Chou Photography Studio and PicVoyage. I’ve always had a passion for photography. Yet, it wasn’t until I specifically started working as a wedding photographer that I understood the real power of capturing a once-in-a-lifetime kind of moment. I love to travel. I have visited over 35 countries and still counting. I love dancing, especially ballroom dancing. If I am not working, you will find me dancing Latin, Salsa, Samba, Waltz, and Tango at Manhattan Soho studio. I love family and friends. One of my favorite things is to hang out with family or friends for a lovely Sunday brunch.

We had such a great time working with Sasha and her team of photographers and videographers for our wedding. Sasha was always quick to respond to us starting from our initial inquiry to everything else that came after, and especially when discussing changes to ensure we were on the same page before moving forward. She was very easy to work with and spent ample time with us during planning to ensure we were comfortable with the photographers' and videographers' styles. She also ensured the team was well aware of all the events and moments that we wanted captured. The team was fantastic on the wedding day. We had a full day with 3 different stops between Brooklyn and Manhattan that included two Chinese tea ceremonies, and pre-wedding photos all in the hours before the ceremony and reception. The team arrived early to each location, never missing a beat. Every moment that we asked for was beautifully captured in our photos and videos. We purchased three photo albums, one for ourselves which was included in the package, and two more for our respective families. Our albums were unfortunately in production and shipped during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the albums were in poor condition. We brought this up to Sasha's attention and she immediately agreed that they were not up to her standards and expectations. Sasha did not hesitate to call us and presented us with a couple of alternatives within a day. Ultimately, the new albums came two weeks later and were even better than what we hoped for. They are perfect! We love our photos, videos, and photo albums. Sasha and her team were very easy to work with and always listened to our input. We highly recommend Sasha Chou Photography to other couples for their big day!

There is a dusty old photo album that I’ve looked at hundreds of times. It is from my parents’ wedding more than 40 years ago. It shows me a little piece of my history every time I look at those images. When I lost my father, I realized his memory lives on in those images for me. It’s like this perfect window into the past that I want to give each and every one of my wedding clients.

I cannot say enough good things about Monika. Not only is she the most talented photographer and so easy and fun to work with, but she’s truly the most amazing person. Monika photographed our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding and did the most incredible job! The first time my husband and I met with Monika we instantly felt like we had known her forever. We are a bit camera shy and always feel so awkward taking pictures, but everytime we worked with Monika she made us feel so comfortable. Everything felt so natural and fun and it really reflected well in our photos! Monika is such a professional - she did multiple site visits with us at our wedding venue so that she was familiar with all the best places for pictures and where the light was at different times of the day. During the planning process, we worked with her to come up with a detailed shot list of all the photos we wanted her to capture during our wedding weekend, and she was so diligent at capturing all the photos on our list without it feeling like we were just ticking the box. Monika was also such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. I was so nervous and emotional and was honestly so happy that she was by my side all day. She was such a comforting presence - it didn’t feel like she was just there to take pictures, she was there supporting and guiding me! My family and our wedding party loved her and was so impressed. She also worked so seamlessly with my videographer that you would have never guessed that they hadn’t worked together before! I could go on and on, but you don’t need to take my word for it - just look at some of the stunning photos she took at my wedding! I am obsessed!

I stay behind the camera because I'm more than a little introverted. That is, until I get to know people. Then I open up and we can talk about movies, music, dogs (I'm happy to show you pictures and videos of my rescue dog). I love what I do because I get to capture moments between you and the most important people in your life that you'll be able to relive for decades to come!

Casey is a great combination of technical and interpersonal skills - he's a terrific photographer who also knows how to talk to humans and make them feel comfortable. I have sent him to several friends of mine for weddings and family photos, and he always gets the shot while making the families feel at ease. You'll love his clear communication and speedy delivery.

At the end of the day, I’m just a guy that loves weddings. Both photographing them and going to one as a guest. The joy, the laughter, the butterflies in stomach. The tears. The celebration.

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny took the most beautiful photos of our wedding. From the day we hired her, she was extremely organized, communicative and guided us through the entire process. Jenny took time to listen to us about the specific style and shots we wanted and was flexible in accommodating everything we needed on our wedding day. She also spent the time to get to know us and our style, all of which shows through the photos! Jenny truly captured the essence of our big day and we can highly recommend using her for your wedding! Thank you Jenny!

I'm a Vermont-based photographer that specializes in weddings, families, and seniors. Why? Because there’s nothing quite like feeling the exhilarating energy, gentle love, and infinite kindness within a family.

Julie was amazing! We gave her very little by way of specifics, and she was was able to guide us for some great shots. She was great when working with our young nephews, and kept our chaos very organized. This was great because the temps were in the low 20s for our outdoor ceremony. Julie brought a lot of energy, and was just generally fun to have around! She did everything she could to help out pre ceremony, and made sure we were getting the experience we wanted. We would absolutely work with Julie again and again.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

TALIYA WAS INCREDIBLE! WE COULDN’T HAVE HAD A BETTER PHOTOGRAPHER. SHE DID BOTH OUR ENGAGEMENT AND WEDDING. WE GOT OUR WEDDING PHOTOS BACK RECENTLY AND WERE ABSOLUTELY THRILLED! SHE MET WITH US BEFORE THE ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS LAST YEAR SO THAT SHE COULD GET TO KNOW US AND LEARN MORE ABOUT WHAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR IN OUR PHOTOS. SHE WAS SO NICE AND FUN TO TALK TO AND VERY HELPFUL WHEN WE MADE LAST MINUTE CHANGES TO OUR WEDDING.

What obsesses me with photography the most is that I get to capture a moment in time that we all can recall back to. This can be a simple photo with a friend or an intimate moment with a loved one. All these moments hold a special place in all of us. This is what your wedding day is supposed to be about. A day filled with the memories of all your loved ones as you celebrate the start of a new journey together. A day filled with laughter, cheers, and tears and I want to be there to capture it all! If are planning a wedding, elopement, or engagement, please feel free to browse my work and if it resonates with you don't hesitate to reach out!

My father was a professional photographer for many years so when planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that finding a talented photographer was at the top of our priority list. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have discovered Kevin because he exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met Kevin, he had a way of making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. He not only captured stunning posed photos but also effortlessly seized beautiful candid moments. Kevin's talent was apparent when he was able to work with our overcast weather and managed to frame and capture each shot like a true work of art. Every single photo we received perfectly conveyed the emotions and energy of our special day. What truly amazed us was the speed at which he delivered about 47 sneak-peek photos just one day after the wedding, and each of them was breathtakingly beautiful. My father would have undoubtedly been proud and delighted with the work Kevin accomplished on our wedding day. Kevin's talent has left us with cherished memories in the form of these stunning photographs.

I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

Never been one to write reviews but when it comes to wedding vendors they really are the ones responsible for bringing your vision to life. With so much effort, money, time, and love put into this day it’s important that everything feels cohesive and uniquely “you”. Lauren Spinelli Photo Co. understood the assignment from day 1. Organized, communicative, responsive, patient, and genuine enjoyment for the process all made working with Lauren was SUCH.A.PLEASURE. Her communication is top notch, and her platform was so easy to use to stay organized. Timeline wise we received a batch of sneak peaks within just 48 hours! It was so much fun to relive the memories so quickly, and another wave of 200 photos in less than two weeks. I could go on and on- but thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your contribution to not just a day but to the lifetime of memories we’ll look back on. M&J

When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

My husband and I felt as if we were chatting with a friend every conversation, meeting and event we spent with Lizzie. To put it plainly, she is built for this business, in and out. Our engagement photos and wedding photos were all beyond stunning. We received sneak peak photos within days of both of our engagement shoot and wedding. The sneak peak wedding photos were received NEXT DAY! Our full wedding album came one month and one day later. Lizzie had the pleasure of photographing us when it was 20 degrees or less during our engagement shoot and torrential downpours our wedding day. The photos capture only our love and the best moments of our life, you would never even know the elements were less than cooperative. As mentioned previously, due to the weather on our wedding day 99% of our photos had to be fully indoors. Every single photos was even better than we could imagine. We were spoiled with being able to get a few awesome stunning outdoor shots when the rain broke for a little bit during our reception. Lizzie came with two additional photographers day off, Jacky and Hannah, that worked seamlessly with her to help towards our stunning lifelong memories.

We hired Virginie at the recommendation of our wedding planners at Matthew Robbins Design. Working with Virginie was an absolute dream - we first met a few months before our wedding, where we explained our vision, what we hoped for in terms of photography, and how the day would run. She stayed with us for hours, talking through ideas, showing us ideas and inspiration. We walked away so grateful to be working with her. Flash forward a few months to our wedding day, and I was so thrilled to see Virginie's face as I was getting ready. She is such a beam of energy, support and goodness - exactly what you want on your wedding day! She creative directed us so that we felt relaxed and happy, but knew that we were getting beautiful images. She captured EVERY. BEAUTIFUL. DETAIL of our wedding day - from the beautiful first look, to images with our family and friends, our ceremony and then those crazy/fun/wild dance floor pictures. We are over a year out from our wedding and still find ourselves poring over our wedding photos at least once a week. They are such a beautiful reminder of the amazing, special day we had, and it would not have been possible without Virginie. We were SO lucky to work with her and recommend her without hesitation. She is so talented and just a wonderful, wonderful human. We can't wait to work with her again!

We (Melissa & Michael) became wedding photographers because we truly believe we have something different to bring to the table. Our goals are simple: to help you relive each moment of your wedding day every time you look at your images, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and blend into the crowd like we're your guests. We pride ourselves on open & honest communication with our couples, a seamless booking-through-wedding-day process, super speedy photo delivery, and lending a helping hand in any way we can.

This review is long overdue and well deserved. If you only have time to read one more sentence: Hire Melissa and be confident that you will get the photos and vision you want on your special day! We partnered with Melissa at Sava Studio for our wedding this past September and she shot, composed and edited our engagement photos as well. Melissa as a vendor is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, creative and gregarious. She was always open and transparent with us, patient listening to what we thought we wanted and our vision and was always available to offer feedback as we requested. She walked us through the entire wedding process with respect to the photography aspect and she also offered assistance as we needed in related areas as we got closer to our wedding date. Our first interaction with her was our engagement photo shoot and Melissa made my partner and I feel comfortable while she was shooting and she was very flexible in the shots we wanted to take and what we wanted to see. Very importantly for me, Melissa has a great eye for a memorable photo! Getting to see the raw photos as well as the edited ones Melissa showed us her talent and professionalism. We shot in bright sunlight, shade and darker areas and Melissa was able to handle it all. Our wedding was a few months later at our parents house and the area that the ceremony took place in was unique in that there were a lot of trees/shadows/light patterns to manage. Melissa handled it all! She and her partner used every trick in the book to get the best photos of my wife and I and were able to take some classic natural/unposed shots of us. It speaks to her professionalism and vision that she knew where to be and when to get the best shots! Post-wedding, Melissa had us a sizable preview to review almost 24 hours after the wedding so she could collect feedback before sending us our final photo collection. Once sent, Melissa/Sava made it very easy for us to share photos with family and friends and access them in the future for when we wanted to reminisce. We can't thank Melissa enough and we recommend Melissa at Sava for all of your photography needs!

Hi, I'm Jacq! The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I am obsessed with dogs (particularly my own, but probably yours too if you have a pooch!) and generally an adoring animal lover. I am a SF/bay area native who has now been in NYC for almost 15 years. I started Love in Theory in 2011 and fell in love with capturing the love and vibrant personalities of couples, both as individuals and as a united entity. We have become a multi national award winning portrait studio, with a main focus on weddings and couple shoots with an editorial style and a fashion influence.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start out by saying Love In Theory is the best wedding photographer out there. Look no further brides and grooms. As a bride, my #1 priority was finding a photographer who would I could trust enough to provide me with photos to capture some of the most special moments of my life. Photography was more important to me than any other vendor (including food and music, and I love food and dancing). After in depth research, I kept going back to Love In Theory. Not just because of their exceptional value, responsiveness, the calming effect of Jacquie's beautiful, warm personality but the pure talent and the love and light that shines through in her photographs. She has a way with capturing the most magical and fairytale-like moments. Her use of color and light come through in every shot. Trust me- just look at her site! My experience working with Jacquie & crew was sheer perfection from start to finish.My husband Tom and I received such an outpouring of positive response from our guests, bridal party and social media friends. Everyone we know has raved about our pictures from Love In Theory but not as much as we can. If anyone needs a recommendation, this is it. Jacquie is an artist and a professional. You are in the best hands with Love In Theory. Aside from her spectacular photography, her attention to detail is exceptional. All of our photos were delivered to us in the most adorable, thoughtful way. Anyone who was blessed enough to work with her knows what I mean by that. We fell in love with Jacquie from day one and now she is a friend to us. I posted about this photographer in the past after she shot our engagement photos because I already trusted that she would deliver the same results for our wedding. Jacquie- who I will always refer to as the Queen of Photography- we love you! Thank you and your team for being there as our most treasured photographer, our most sane, reliable vendor, and now our friend. Love always, M&T

Dear Heart Film + Portraits

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

At Gruber Photographers, we are inspired by one simple truth, “A moment is defined not only by its subject but also by the effect it has on those who share it.” We believe life’s milestones deserve to be photographed with this in mind. Every detail large and small. Every feeling from only the right angles. From the behind-the-scenes preparations to the spotlighted celebrations. Un-scripted, un-posed and nothing like traditional wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gruber Photographers were fantastic in photographing my 'Surprise Proposal'. Terry was great at organising quickly and efficiently, and putting me in touch with the photographer for the big day -- Olga. Olga was also great, and the photos she took were fantastic and just what we wanted. She helped me find the perfect location for the proposal and the spots for extra photos afterwards. I had never been to New York before, so it was really useful to have advice on where the best spots would be. On the day everything went really smoothly, and Olga was very understanding when we arrived slightly later than planned. I really wanted some photos under a cherry blossom tree, and Olga managed to find seemingly the only cherry blossom in bloom in Central Park. The photos look amazing, and we are very happy with how they turned out. It is really nice to be able to share the special moment with our family and friends with these photographs. I would definitely recommend Gruber Photographers!

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

Caitlin is a dream. From the time she arrived to the beginning moments of our wedding, Caitlin right away was comfortable with everyone. She brings an ease which allows people be calm and we honestly forgot she was there, snapping away. There were many moments where she would check in and make sure everyone was good, the energy was so sweet. We received our photos right when she said they would be done. The work Caitlin does captures the warmth, and light of a love event. My husband cried the first, second and third time we looked though the collection. We will treasure them forever. Highly, highly recommend her! 100%

The services and products offered by Bri are top notch and her presence alone went beyond any of our other vendors. Bri is very responsive and her online portal is super easy to use. With Bri's strong attention to detail we created a timeline of our wedding day early on and she was kind enough to distribute it to our other vendors as well.

Her attention to detail is like no other, she has this ability to make her clients feel so comfortable in front of the camera, her images are as classy as she is and you will not be disappointed with her turn over with your pictures. I've loved working with Ina and know you will to!

Laura is wonderful to work with! Laura's style of photography is what had originally drawn us to her; her ability to capture candid moments and how she always seems to get the perfect lighting! The photos she took completely captured the overall warm and loving vibe of our wedding. She must be some sort of magician... or just the best possible wedding photographer... Booking her was easy. She was easy to get in touch with and was always prompt to respond. I'm glad we booked her early to lock in our date. She is a very popular photographer and she books up fast! We met Laura before our wedding to go over the details of the venue and timeline of the night. She is a pro so she can make any venue, even the warehouse we booked, look bright and not dark and dingy. Day of, Laura came happy and ready to shoot. Our portraits with parents and the bridal party were not only beautiful, taken in a field, but also super fun! Laura knows how to make you feel good about yourself when she's shooting you! She was also making jokes which helped make us all comfortable. The ceremony and reception pictures were just breathtaking! She captured how funny our officiant was, our special "I do" moment and of course our first kiss as husband and wife! During our reception, we had circus performers lead the guests in hula hooping and juggling... Laura was able to get some amazing action shots on the fly! Overall, Laura is the absolute best. She was the perfect photographer for our special day and I cannot imagine having someone else in her place! She is so talented, sweet, punctual and professional; all things you want and need in a photographer! We love her and will be hiring her in the future for family portraits!

Hi! I'm Maria! I am a New York based fine-art wedding photographer that longs to capture real and authentic love anywhere and everywhere. I say Fine Art because I actually have a fine arts degree in photography. I am a happy wife who mar­ried her high-school sweetheart, an art book hoarder and slightly dog obsessed. I have loved photographing for as long as I can remember.

Maria is an absolute superstar behind the camera! We are blown away by our wedding day previews and engagement session photos. She captured our day perfectly and made us look so cool!! I am most grateful for her calm yet confident demeanor in the less than fun/uncomfortable moments that naturally come with weddings. Going into our engagement session, my husband and I had never been photographed together before, so we were definitely giving awkward couple energy. Maria took her time to talk to us on a personal level until we were relaxed enough to frolic around for our session. Come wedding day, we felt like professionals and being natural behind the camera was easy. She gave us energy when we were lacking it and kept things moving when we needed the push. My husband and I have very sticky family dynamics which gave me a lot of anxiety when it came to photos. But Maria was completely understanding and made that part of the day go off without a hitch. We can't thank Maria enough for all that she did for us over this past year or so. Her work speaks for itself - everything she shoots is absolutely gorgeous. The added benefit to all of the beautiful photos is the amazing, down-to-earth person you get to work with. We highly recommend Maria. You cannot go wrong with using her for your big day!

Oh hey, Liron here. I've been shooting weddings for over 12 years now and have traveled all around the globe to document couples on their big day. I am driven by the sense of nostalgia and my mission is to create honest images that will echo through time.

Echoes and Wild Hearts work speaks for itself. If you love the vibe of their portfolio (which we did), you will not be disappointed. Go for it! We found EAWH through Wedding Artists Co on Instagram, initially looking for videographer as we were already very close to booking another photographer. However, once we got on the phone with Liron, we went all in on EAWH to streamline planning and keep things looking consistent. We wanted a very non-wedding, wedding photographer/videographer who would capture the feeling of our day. I feel awkward in front of the camera and cringed at the idea of pose-y photos, Liron and his second shooter captured everything better than we could have imagined and put us totally at ease. We got married in the Catskills and it was 100 degrees and full humidity on our day and somehow everyone looks lovely in the photos when in reality we were melting... Liron is truly a photo wizard. He also shot our welcome party the night before and our afterparty- all fantastic! From the initial phone calls and emailing about logistics during planning, to seamlessly blending in with us on site and making us feel totally comfortable and like our best selves, to photo/video delivery post event, it was a total pleasure working with EAWH at every step! Perhaps even more importantly, I truly feel the work EAWH delivered to us are some of the best wedding photos and video I've ever seen. We love Liron!

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

I found my passion for art while growing up surrounded by horses in a small town in Brazil. The shapes, textures, and colors of the horses always have been inspiring to me. I’ve always wanted to recreate them, but was never really able to. Honestly, my painting/drawing skills were and still are terrible, and that’s when photography came up in my life. I would create imaginary cameras out of my toys and would ‘photograph’ the horses and my neighbors. Photographing people became my passion and then evolved into my work in editorial and wedding photography.

I can't post enough praise about Gui from 98 Wedding Co, and I'm SHOCKED there's not more reviews here. We recently had our engagement shoot with him and let me tell you-- we were blown away by the photos. We were looking for an editorial style that screamed NYC, and Gui captured it perfectly. All my family and friends were amazed at the shots and could not stop raving about how well he captured us and our vision. It looks like a spread out of Vogue! My fiance and I are also pretty awkward in front of the camera, and Gui's calm and relaxed presence was a breath of fresh air. He knew all the right spots and best places to get the perfect lighting and framing, a true expert in his craft! I can't wait to see how perfectly he captures our wedding and will be sure to update this review when the photos are inevitably stunning as well. Thank you Gui!!!

As my Instagram bio says, I'm a country girl by birth, a city girl by choice and a photographer by obsession. I grew up on a farm in a small Midwestern town, but have lived in New York City for over 25 years. As a photographer I say I'm self-taught, but in reality I've had the benefit of amazing mentors and teachers along the way who helped me elevate my work and pursue joy along with results. When not making photos or hanging out with my husband and kids, you can find me with a book in hand or listening to music while indulging my love of textiles at my sewing machine (yes, I really own a sewing machine)! Oh, or dancing! :-)

We loved having Amy photograph our wedding day! Her style of photography is completely different from traditional wedding photography. Amy's candid photography really captured the emotion of the day and we love the black and white prints! Amy worked so well with our other more traditional photographer. The shooting is so different that there was zero interference. We cherish our photos and highly recommend anyone getting married to consider hiring Amy to capture the day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kate was such a delight to work with! My husband was pretty nervous about posing but we ended up having so much fun on our engagement shoot (which she recommended we do as a way of getting comfortable - but we also really loved the photos). And when it snowed pretty hard on our wedding day she encouraged us to roll with it and the pictures are just absolutely magical. Our apartment is pretty small but we’re having a really hard time narrowing down prints to what we can fit on our walls! And there are so many gems among the guest candids - the first two I sent to people got immediate “this is my favorite picture of me/us ever” responses. Not gonna lie, we are pretty relieved to never have to plan a wedding again - but if we were, we’d hire Kate.

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

Chelsea is an absolute dream! She has an incredible eye and captures the big moments, but also the intimate and special moments throughout the day. Her photos are stunning and so so special, as she really gets to know you and your family. Chelsea will find the beauty in and celebrate what is special about/unique to you as a couple, and the results show that. She is so kind, easy and fun to work with, and was a real support throughout our whole planning process. Especially since we got married during the pandemic we had a lot of questions and unique hoops to jump through. Chelsea was always willing to talk through details (even those not photo-related!), share suggestions, etc. throughout our planning process. The day of Chelsea was a joy to have around and her positive energy and willingness to do whatever it took for the perfect shot (including walking backwards for several blocks during our mariachi band parade through the streets) is unmatched. I recommend Chelsea Matson Photography to any and everyone- you will not be disappointed!

Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have the unique experience of being a wedding planner that works with JAG Studios and this past year as a client renewing her vows! I can tell you that they are truly gifted artists and are able to read their clients exceptionally well. They create and forge lasting bonds and capture not just the wedding but every single special moment and detail flawlessly. Every client is blown away by their work, and if your looking to have an amazing photo experience, then JAG is who you should go with. As a client, renewing my ten-year anniversary vows, I wanted a photographer that could capture the years and moments that it took myself and my husband to get to this point. To be very honest, I was pretty freaked about having my photos taken; I am a behind the scenes gal! However, both Jacklyn and Chris not only made us 100% relax, but I barely knew they were taking photos, and when all was said and done and the showed us the end product both my husband and I cried for days because it was more beautiful then we could have ever imagined. They captured who we were as a couple, and as individuals and every moment, moments I did not even think about will forever be in an amazing photograph. Jaclyn Watson Events

From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting loose on the dance floor, I'll be there to document your love story (and all the fun bits). I'll even make sure to snap authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the best ones! Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping candid shots or be right up the front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be the chameleon you need on the day. Either way, I'll not miss a beat behind the lenses.

We had hired Nicole to come on a hike with us in Upstate, NY to photograph our engagement. Not only did she capture beautiful photos, but we had a fantastic time hiking with her and formed a relationship with her, which is a rare find when it comes to vendors! Despite it raining and being foggy, she was a trooper and the pictures turned out amazing - we think even better than if it was sunny! We love both her documentary-style photography and editing style. She really knows how to capture the moment without it being performative! We had so much fun and it didn't even feel like we were in a photoshoot. I was a bit anxious because I don't do well in front of the camera or know how to pose, but Nicole knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable! She was super friendly and professional. We would definitely work with her again, and are currently looking to hire her for our wedding!

She worked closely with us to understand our vision and preferences, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the final photos. On the day of the wedding, Sabrina arrived early and captured every moment, from my bridesmaids and I getting ready, to the ceremony & party, & everything in between. The candid photos are some of my absolute favorites! She has a keen eye for framing and lighting, and her photos truly captured the joy and romance of the day. Most importantly - she made us (especially my camera shy husband) feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful.

I grew up in Texas and married a beautiful brown-eyed Jersey girl on a mountaintop in the Hudson Valley. I have the greatest job in the world. I’m lucky enough to witness tears of joy, celebrations of life and the continuation of family legacies on a weekly basis. I put everything I have into my photos, and I’m humbled and inspired by couples who trust me to tell their story.

Lev was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding! His photography skills are beyond talented and his approach to setting up shots is very different than the traditional wedding photographer (with so many "planned" shots and people standing in a line). It was this unique approach that drew me to asking him to photograph for our big day...and luckily, he was available! Plus, at the end of the day, the photographs are one of the few tangible items that one will have to remember the big day. I cannot recommend Lev enough. Anyone would be lucky to have him as their photographer and have all of your married friends envious that they did not have him for their wedding!!
