We are completely foam free, use as many local flowers as possible and constantly looking for more sustainable practices we can bring into our business.

Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs

Margo Sees Stars 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Documentary style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Arverne, NY

Hi! I’m Julia, middle name Margo, a film school dropout and music buff who wants to make your wedding look like art. I'm here to represent diversity in the couples I work with and weddings I shoot (love is love), to give you something hyper-shareable that will instantly transport you in space and time for the rest of your lives, and to make you cry upon watching. The crying is very important. Bear with me on this analogy, but basically I like my wedding films like I like my salads: raw, organic, a little bit of quirk and flare, and consumed alongside great music. If this sound pretty good to you, have a look at my work and get in touch!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were on the fence about getting a videographer, partially because it seemed unnecessary and partially because we were worried that we would feel uncomfortable having a camera follow us around. But we met with Julia (Margo Sees Stars), and ultimately decided it was worth the risk. We could not be happier! Although Julia herself was booked for our wedding day, her colleague Mel was fantastic--she was friendly, unobtrusive, worked great with our photographer, and really put us with ease. And Julia's editing ability is off the charts. We opted for the package with a short teaser as well as a longer video, and both brought us to tears. We are so happy that we went with Margo Sees Stars for our special day. You will not be disappointd if you do the same!

Holly was first of all, so kind, so flexible, and so reasonable. I softly explained that we did not want to go overboard with our florals but wanted a special touch of our wedding, with warm fall colors, and without saying much more, she absolutely NAILED the mood board and look book. Throughout the process I changed a few things, removed and then added things like taper candles (very last minute) and she never had negative feedback or pushback. She was so open to changes, open to working around our budget, and just so spot on in understanding what we were picturing. She sincrely produced the classy park wedding bouqet of my dreams, and our arch is something that I truly could not be happier to have in all of my photos to get to look at for the rest of my life. She did excellent work for reasonable pricing in comparison to some of the monsters I had spoken to prior to her and throughout her process - and I truly could not have been happier to have found her. Could not recommend her more.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Purslane! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. The Prospect Park Boathouse venue itself is nothing short of spectacular—a beautiful historic building in the heart of Brooklyn. The architecture alone made for the most stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Beyond the beauty of the space, the service was truly top notch. The team was incredibly attentive, professional, and made us feel like our event was their top priority. From the planning stages through to the last dance, they were organized, seamless, and took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day. And of course, the food was outstanding! We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was beautifully presented, and we loved how they incorporated local, seasonal ingredients. Whether it was the passed hors d’oeuvres, the plated dinner, or the dessert table, everything was a hit.

We booked Collins Entertainment for our October wedding at the Interlaken Inn in Lakeville, CT. We had an unbelievably amazing experience with this company from the top to the bottom. Our DJ, Jared, was exceptional with music selection, a master emcee, was accommodating and seemed to be everywhere at once. My guests left saying he was the best DJ they've ever seen at a wedding for how many hits he put out. He was able to read the crowd really well, and knew how to get everyone on the dance floor. Jared had battery-powered setups for both the ceremony and reception, so we didn't have to worry about outlets in a remote area outdoors, which was very nice. Our planning sessions with Jim, Mitch, and Jared were comprehensive and they gave us all the tools we needed to succeed. The package price was very reasonable too, and was a leading factor for why we chose them as well. We used their mirror photo booth as well, which was very fun. The mirror booth even came with a long red carpet! The operator, Randall, was very accommodating and helpful with guests, making it fun and easy for everyone. We highly recommend Collins Entertainment!

Abby herself was not available on my wedding day, but she went above and beyond to communicate clearly and in a timely fashion to make sure her team would be ready for the big day! We still talk on Instagram now! I worked with Andrea for makeup and Bailey for hair. It was an absolute dream! It’s like getting your hair and makeup done by two close friends who bring out the absolute best in you! They were so fun to talk to and work with, but most importantly, they made my vision come to life and made me look above and beyond more beautiful than I could have ever imagined! They also did the hair and makeup of my twin sister, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law, and I cannot express enough how beautiful they all looked! Whether young or mature skin, long or short hair, Andrea and Bailey are so talented! Additionally, Emma did makeup and Lynn did hair for my bridesmaids. I cannot rave about them enough! My bridesmaids had different visions and styles for hair and makeup, and they all looked 10/10. Absolutely stunning! Thank you so much to the whole team at Abby Lauren. I love you all!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

Rosehip Social did my florals for my November 2024 wedding at the Wythe Hotel and WOW did they deliver! When I'd booked with them the year prior based on photos of their work I'd seen, I had just provided a general vibe and color scheme and trusted them to do their thing. A few weeks before the wedding I visited their shop for a table scape preview and we were able to go through specific flower types and colors and finalize some details. I ultimately ended up giving them some general guidances-- include yellows, oranges, and whites, not too fall-inspired, retro feel, tons of baby's breath-- and then let them do their thing. We ended up including a full floral ceiling installation which made the space feel magical. Everything from our bouquets to boutineers, to table scapes were expertly crafted and could've been from the fanciest celebrity wedding out there. The team was collaborative and helpful around making my budget stretch, moving pieces around the venue at different times of the night, and working with the venue's install team. Lauren and Pola from Rosehip are complete professionals and worth the premium if you want the most gorgeous florals in town. I will 100% be recommending Rosehip to friends and would book them again in a heartbeat!

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Arverne, NY

At Tino Photography, our style is a combination of photojournalism (candid), portrait and editorial photography. Our hope is that the images we create will speak volumes – about who our clients are as people, about relationships between newly married couples and about the subtle nuances of everyday life. Our goal is to provide you with a documentary-based illustration of your wedding day with guiding or posing when necessary. It’s not our intention to just “make pretty pictures”, but to truly make images that capture the relationship between two people in love.

I am truthful in saying that any review of Tino and his team will not do justice compared to the value you will get with him and his team. My wife and I had a covid-remix wedding where we had to move our wedding from right before Covid to April of 2021 (somewhat safe of a time to move forward). I have worked with Tino and his wife Ericka for about a year and a half and every step of the way Tino has been professional, accommodating, respectful, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. As a newly engaged couple and of course wanting to explore all of our options, my wife and I had decided to go to a wedding expo event at Terrace on the Park. After a warm welcome from his assistant CeCe and just admiring his work I knew right there I would be in great hands. From there I had reached out to Tino and we had an initial consultation. I just wanted to mention this because during that consultation, Tino’s first impression was so gentle and warm and I really appreciated that he wasn’t trying to sell us something like multiple other vendors. Also, Tino was able to intimately showcase his personal work and with that my wife and I were able to see that Tino genuinely has a passion for photography, loves what he does, and pours it into his work. The next time we met Tino was our engagement shoot. Tino and Ericka were beyond graceful and accommodating because we decided to do our photo shoot in Domino Park on what happened to be a windy, below freezing day near the water front during sunset. In-between the engagement shoot and covid pushing back our wedding Tino was very accommodating to work with and always keeping in touch in a respectful manner to just check in on us, our ideas, and genuinely our well-being. He gave us great advice as we spoke with other vendors to make our day as organized as possible. Fast forward to April 2021, the big moment finally came! We had a big fat Indian-Italian wedding consisting over a weekend. At every moment his team was professional and just a pleasure to work with to the point where our guests even pointed out how fun and pleasurable they were! Tino, Ericka, Benji, Adam, Derek, Gary, and Rubin at every moment were just punctual, funny, professional, and genuinely a good time. Tino gave great pointers that shined in his work - make up tips, dressing tips, lighting at the venue, poses, motions for our videos, color schemes, you name it. Tino and his team allowed us to feel relaxed and have fun this whole weekend which could have been super stressful. My wife and I were lucky to choose Tino. Our engagement shoot and wedding pictures are absolutely phenomenal. We are thrilled to show friends and family. We’re still using our engagement shoot as our Christmas card two years in a row. Absolutely fantastic work. Our wedding photos came out phenomenal and picture perfect like one of those pictures you get when you buy a picture frame from a department store. Our wedding videos WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD. They actually looked as if it were directed by a movie producer. The video was composed of great motions, video footage, music choices and more at every scene. Tino is beyond talented. All in all, we had a fantastic experience with Tino and his team and the most important thing was that we were completely comfortable while having a fantastic time. We were beyond lucky to have met Tino and Ericka and their team. I truly consider them not only my photographers for life but wonderful, warm people.

I am the kind of person who tends to worry more about our guest's experience than I do my own- I want everyone to have a memorable experience and to genuinely enjoy themselves! Our wedding day is not the time to sacrifice our own experience, however, and it is because of Christina that we didn't carry a single ounce of worry with us that day.

Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

We are so thrilled that we managed to book Jess for our engagement photos and wedding! Beautiful photography was a priority for us, and we wanted our photos to have a genuine, documentary style feel. We wanted the photos to capture the real beauty of the day, without being too heavily edited (we hate the photographers who made everything look pastel!). Jessica was completely in line with our style. My husband and I aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but Jessica made us feel so at ease. We were never uncomfortable with Jessica, and she felt like a natural part of the day. Jessica’s photos speak for themselves. She is able to create stunning visuals, but most impressively, Jess captures emotion in all of her photographs. At our wedding, Jessica and her assistant Kat were always present, but never intrusive. I feel like she is a photography ninja—I don’t even remember seeing her at certain moments, and yet there are beautiful photos of everything. No detail or moment was missed. From the day we worked with Jess on our engagement photos, we knew we were in more than capable hands. I am so impressed with Jessica’s ability to find unique spaces and framing for our photos—some of my favorite photos are in front of everyday places, but with Jessica’s eye they are turned into beautiful works of art. Because she did such a fantastic job with our engagement photos, we had no worries at all on our wedding day. One of Jess’ strengths is her background working as a photographer on music tours. Put her in any type of lighting or setting, and she has the technical skills and experience to create something amazing. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Jess’ professionalism—she is always early and is kind to everyone she interacts with. She is so passionate and excited about her work. Her calm, unflappable attitude made her a pleasure to be around on our wedding day. Her enthusiasm for her work is evident. She's also incredibly hardworking at every stage of the process. Jessica was able to edit our photos and got them back to us within 6 days of our wedding—that is unheard of! We love Jess and are so impressed by her! She is beyond talented and her stunning work will let us relive our wedding day whenever we want. All of our photos were fantastic—it’s hard to narrow down even our top 100 photos. We can’t thank Jess enough for capturing the joy we felt on our wedding day. I’m truly sad that our time working together is over. Jess was easily one of our favorite vendors, and we wish her all the best as she continues to grow her business! We would enthusiastically recommend that you hire Jessica for all your photography needs. Update-- My husband and I were lucky to hire Jessica again about a year after our wedding to shoot some photos of us and our new puppy. As expected, the photos came out beautifully and were delivered to us quickly!

Hi, I'm Elle! I'm passionate about capturing feelings through film, and I feel so honored any time I have the opportunity to do so in the context of a wedding or elopement. I grew up in the woods of Washington State but now call NYC home. My background is in music videos and narrative filmmaking, but I've also worked as an illustrator. When I'm not making videos, you'll find me riding my bike around the city, reading, or at the movie theater.

Working with Elle for our wedding elopement video was truly such a breeze. My husband and I eloped in Iceland, so it was quite the journey, and Elle remained positive and up for the challenge throughout the duration of our trip. Since we eloped, we only had immediate family with us along with a photographer and videographer, so it was really such a treat that it felt like just hanging out with a friend on our wedding day, as opposed to a stale business relationship. However, Elle was super professional, captured every moment perfectly, and delivered the video within a few weeks, which was incredible. She also made slight edits to accommodate to our liking, and we couldn't be more grateful to have this video to cherish forever! If you are looking for an easy going, super sweet videographer for your wedding, I would certainly recommend Elle Suko!

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

Kate and Jen at Green Apple Weddings were great partners throughout our entire wedding planning process. They were knowledgeable, highly-competent, and kind – so easy to work with! Planning a wedding is not easy, and we cannot imagine pulling off such a large, complex, and important life event without them. They were a huge value-add for both the big things and the little things, from the day we started working with them right until the last guests left our reception nearly a year later. They wrangled our many vendors with ease, calmed our anxieties with their warm yet calm professionalism, and guided us through the busy day. We highly recommend this team for any couple looking to get married in NYC – you’ll be in good hands!

It was perfect from bouquets to each centerpiece and our arch. I came to Sandy without a true vision of florals and had no idea what I was doing. She turned my mismatched thoughts into perfection and a dream come true. I had the centerpieces repurposed into bouquets for guests to take home & everyone absolutely loved that they were able to take some of the gorgeous flowers home with them. It was beautiful and perfect but it would not have been that way without our florals from Pedestals!! 2 weeks later and people are STILL telling us they were the most beautiful florals at a wedding!!!
