  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Arverne, NY

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

We absolutely loved working with Tati and Roman!! We knew that we wanted to work with them immediately after our first conversation with Tati. Having two photographers was a key differentiator for us because we knew that it would allow us to capture all of the important moments from our wedding day. Tati and Roman are both so genuinely warm, kind, and very easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to our wedding and also helped us organize our day-of-timeline in a way that allowed us to get all of the photos that we wanted while also providing us with plenty of time to be present and have fun with friends and family. Tati and Roman made us and all of our friends and family feel comfortable when taking photos and provided guidance when needed to ensure that we got the perfect shots. We were blown away when we got our wedding photos and are so happy with how they turned out! Tati and Roman captured all of the beautiful and authentic moments from that night and you can feel the love that was in the room. We cannot thank Tati and Roman enough and are so happy that we were able to work with them.

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

We are SO happy with our decision to work with Millie on our wedding. She was the best (and even more). Our photos are gorgeous, and we are so grateful for all of her amazing work leading up to and throughout our wedding weekend. Ahead of our wedding, Millie did a beautiful job on our engagement photos and then sent us the most beautiful photo care package with a gorgeous and thoughtful wedding planning book. As we got closer to our wedding, we felt relaxed because Millie had planned all of the details and made sure to know exactly what we wanted and desired for the big day (and then organized everything into a very detailed timeline). On our wedding, Millie was the perfect photographer, capturing every special moment and fitting in perfectly alongside our loved ones. I could go on and on. Millie is kind, professional and hardworking. She was always on time and met deadlines. I would recommend her to everyone for their photography needs. You won't be disappointed!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Jess is a master of her craft and we could not imagine having chosen anyone else to capture our wedding day. Working with Jess is like working with a close friend — she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping us pose (and making us laugh) for shots that truly blow our minds and fill our hearts. She expertly captured our individual personalities and dynamic as a couple, the vibrant color of our event, and the energy and happiness that filled the room. We are indescribably happy and grateful to have worked with such a talented, thoughtful, hilarious, and creative human to make the memories of our wedding day last forever in her incredible photographs.

Chef Ellen and her team delivered delicious food for our wedding on May 1st. My husband and I had spoken to other caterers who seemed to want to tell us what we wanted our wedding to be like, but Chef Ellen listened to us and enthusiastically created a menu that checked all of our boxes, including dietary preferences and restrictions. We had a tasting at our home and once we tasted the food, we knew we picked the right caterer. Our guests agreed. It didn't go unnoticed that our food options were anything but the regular wedding fare. We wanted a Mediterranean vibe for all of our entrees and Chef Ellen and her team delivered. As the venue was outside, she worked with her preferred rental vendor, Big Dawg Rental, and ordered all of the equipment needed for the catering operation, keeping me in the loop and checking in on cost. She identified cost savings by asking if I wanted to order some items outside of rentals, which I did on occasion. We hired the serving staff from Renegade as well and they did a great job. I highly recommend Renegade Outpost for a unique catering experience. We definitely received what we wanted.

Taylored Events & Co. is a wedding and special event planning company operating out of New York, New York. Owner and lead planner Taylor draws on years of rich experience in orchestrating a number of special celebrations to provide clients with exceptional experiences.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we say Taylor EXCEEDED our expectations, we truly mean that. From start to finish Taylor was such a calming and supportive presence in our lives. During the planning portion of our event, Taylor communicated with all of our vendors and made sure we were always on the same page. She was organized and had all of our contracts, seating charts, floor plans etc all in one google doc making it extremely easy to follow and stay on track. She was always responsive and answered every single question we could possibly have. As the wedding got closer, we had weekly calls to make sure we tied up any loose ends and that all the vendors were on the same page. The wedding day was beyond perfect. Taylor looked like a boss woman the whole time with her clipboard and made sure that she was keeping everyone in line and on track of time. There were a few times when things didn’t go as planned like having to move the ceremony inside due to rain and changing the floorpan last minute but she handled that with STRIDE. She made all the executive decisions and explained them to us calmly. We trusted that no matter what, she would make the best decision for us in the end and she 100% did! Everything ended up working out better than planned and we will be talking about this day for years to come. At the end of the event, Taylor helped all the vendors pack everything up and out of the venue and made sure that nothing was left behind. We could not recommend her enough as your wedding planner. She is strong, resilient and intelligent. She is organized, reliable and knows exactly what she is doing! You can really see how much she loves what she does and how she strives to be the best she can be every step of the way. Shout out to her assistant Joy for everything she had her hands on, including being so delicate and gentle while steaming my heavy wedding dress and taking some incredible behind the scenes shots of our day and for just being another amazing person to rely on. We couldn’t have asked for a better team!!!!

Sandy Soohoo is a dream. She is extremely talented and creative, knowledgeable about the industry, realistic about the challenges, reliable and responsive- all while being a joyous energy and pleasure to be around. For those reasons, I couldn't have imagined a better photographer for our wedding - or person to be by my side throughout that entire day and evening. She works with a variety of mediums (lens, cameras, flash/no flash) to obtain a variety of styles for the photos, which all turned out unique and fully capturing different "perspectives" of the event - and most importantly, capturing the true essence of the joy and outward and inner beauty of the wedding. The photos turned out beautiful, have this journalistic yet ethereal feel- an artistic quality which I believe is a rare skill. I'm so thankful for having worked with Sandy!!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Cooper Union helped us celebrate the best day of our lives on November 26, 2022! Our guests raved about how awesome the band was both during and well after our wedding. Brennan's voice is as smooth as butter and Kia hitting all the high notes in "Respect" brought down the house. Not only is the band incredibly talented, but they are genuinely nice people who have a good time performing together. They accommodated all of our requests, and we had MANY including Sam Cooke, Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan, and more (they play all the newer music too!). On top of it all, Brennan helped me surprise my wife with a private last dance to "River" by Leon Bridges. Brennan kept it a secret up to the last second and made the moment so so special for us both. Needless to say, tears of joy were flowing! Not only were they a fabulous musical group, but they seamlessly MC'd the reception including speeches, cake cutting, and pouring of the champagne tower. We livestreamed the ceremony and they let us use their mics -- the sound quality was crisp and allowed our grandmothers to hear every word of our vows. Their ability to provide a string quartet for the ceremony added a truly elegant touch and provided our guests with live music from beginning to end. With so many bands out there to consider, we could not be any happier with our choice to hire Cooper Union!!

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

We spent a lot of time looking for the right wedding photographer and from the moment we found Michelle she was nothing short of wonderful! From the first call, she was attentive and thoughtful, helping us think through all of the different aspects of the wedding and what we would need. She was honest and helpful throughout! She also pays really close attention to the details – like sending us a cute holiday card. Anytime I had a question she would answer SHOCKINGLY fast and made sure we were scheduled for a final call a week out to align on everything. She is a pro who has done this so many times so her advice was invaluable. Day of the wedding she struck the perfect balance between moving things along and making sure we got all the right photos while also blending into the background and capturing beautiful candid shots. She instantly put us at ease with her calm energy and corny jokes! Working with her made the entire day easier. Within ~10 days from the wedding we already had a blog post with AMAZING photos and soon after access to every photo from our wedding. Michelle is worth every penny and thanks to her we have so many beautiful photos we can’t even pick our favorites!!!!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

I'm Raquel, a native New Yorker in the wedding & event industry with about 500 events & counting under my belt. I have a psychology degree and an extensive project management & logistics background. My true passion for all things wedding related along with my professional background have served to bring my wedding planning and coordination expertise to my clients. I've traveled all of NYC, and the surrounding regions, planning & coordinating weddings in every event space there is- from raw spaces, to rooftop venues, NYC Landmarks, high end hotels, and private residences.

Raquel and her team are fantastic. We hired Raquel for partial planning for our wedding; from the get-go, she was organized, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. She helped us find our caterer (who was excellent) and organized our tasting and our rentals with them -- it was a huge load off of our minds to have her help take care of that vendor. Once we got closer to the actual day, Raquel was on top of everything. She set up a walk through of the venue, kept us on track with all of the nitty-gritty details, and had recommendations for any vendor we could have imagined (truly above and beyond what we could have expected). The day itself went off without a hitch -- we had been so stressed in the days leading up to the wedding with last-minute changes and cancellations from guests, but once the wedding day started everything was smooth sailing. We had some last-minute requests due to guest changes and Raquel didn't miss a beat! We truly felt we could relax and just enjoy our wedding because every last detail had been meticulously planned and attended to. I would recommend Raquel and her team for anyone planning a wedding -- worth every penny!!!

Hi there! We're the team behind Duet Photography & Video. We're a collection of wedding photographers, filmmakers, designers, and editors. We each have our own story of how we've come to be a part of this incredibly field of wedding journalism. As individual as we are, we're all bound by the same love for our craft – the artistry of blending documentary journalism with stunning, creative vision. With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

I can’t say enough good things about this company, they were one of the most affordable we found and did an absolutely incredible job for our October wedding. We loved them so much, my sister ended up using them for her August wedding and they did an equally incredible job! I loved their bright, slightly editorial style. One of my vendors (who sees photos all the time) even said my album was one of her favorites! The team was sooo awesome and one of the best parts of the day! Mike was our lead photographer and was so knowledgeable while Adam was our awesome videographer. Yosaidy was our 2nd shooter and she was with my husband getting ready; he said she made the process so smooth and fun (which means a lot from a guy who hates pictures). She also fixed my train and veil in every photo, making sure it looked perfect which I really appreciated. The team made the day seamless and really helped to capture the beauty of our venue. After my husband switched jackets for the reception they made sure to take additional portraits of us which I didn’t even think about! They were able to fix a few issues that came up with sound on the video and were very communicative, definitely would recommend.

550Park Luxury Wedding Films 

5.0

  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $5,850
  • Serves Arverne, NY

Brent is considered one of the top wedding cinematographers based out of the Northeastern USA. He frequently travels the globe, documenting weddings for couples who deserve the best of the best. After growing up in Central Jersey, Brent chose to move down to Nashville for college and then shortly after graduation, officially founded 550Park out of New York City. He is a passionate tennis player, chef, and world adventurer.

We are privileged to comment on Brent's work. We were one of his first clients of the 2023 wedding season in the NYC-NJ area. As with many couples, we struggled with finding a great videographer at a reasonable price. Brent was a godsend. Brent came to meet us near where we lived. He was very realistic about how our film would come together, what was feasible and what was not. The contract was very reasonable and covered various situations. Quality: the films were excellent. Brent has worked in the videography world for many years, so he's used to adapting to changing environments and getting the best shots describing a particular moment. Interaction: Brent's interaction with us was one of utmost professionalism and warmth. He was very friendly and respectful toward all of our attendees and staff at the wedding and reception. Most of our guests were working professionals and our guests loved this guy. Attire: he was dressed just as sharp as anyone else in attendance. No worries there. Brent does the ground-work well in advance of the event - scouting the sites we were going to be at on the big day: wedding venue, scenic portrait locations, reception. He met with the primary staff there, surveyed the location for good vantage points and potential issues and let us know in advance if there were any issues he foresaw. He was respectful of the restrictions at the church wedding while managing to get all the right shots. He's the kind of professional you would want to be friends with outside of the wedding. We highly recommend Brent and would hire him for future family events. Good luck on your event!

My heart lies in finding genuine, fleeting moments that tell your story. Whether it’s the laughter that makes your eyes sparkle or a tender touch that speaks volumes, my goal is simple: to turn your delicate moments into lasting memories—not just the exchange of vows and rings, but also those energetic, wild scenes of your loved ones.

Working with Hannah at lowercasephoto was such a great experience from start to finish. Hannah was detailed, attentive, and open to all of my ideas for capturing my special day. The quality of the work was fantastic, and the value was amazing - I couldn't believe how affordable Hannah’s services were compared to other photographers I had looked into. Hannah did an incredible job even getting headshots for me for professional use; I still use those photos for to this day. In fact, I loved working with her so much that I even gifted a photo session with Hannah to a close friend of mine for his graduation - he was thrilled with the beautiful photos she captured for him as well. I would highly recommend lowercasephoto to any couple or individual looking for an incredibly talented and personable photographer.

Hiring Amy Sims to be our wedding photographer was the best decision we made! Amy was helpful, attentive, and lighthearted throughout the wedding planning process, and we cannot imagine our wedding without her. We hired Amy for her candid and natural style, and she did not disappoint. We spent over two hours with Amy for an engagement shoot before the wedding. We loved her calm and easygoing demeanor, and her pictures were incredible. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Amy invested a ton of time with us and was always free to answer our questions. She sent us a thorough questionnaire for us to fill out, so she knew exactly what we liked and what we didn’t on the wedding day. Most importantly, Amy was incredible the day of the wedding! Her pictures are absolutely stunning and she expertly managed our massive and energetic families for family pictures. Even though it was raining, Amy found creative solutions for pictures. During the party, she was always in the right place at the right time and captured the best candid dancing pictures. We can go on for hours about how amazing Amy and her pictures are, and we can’t recommend her enough!

Hi there! I’m Lindsey “Lensy” Michelle (she/her) – a New York City and Boston based wedding and elopement photographer specializing in non-traditional celebrations. My style is a mix of candid and directed coverage that seeks to amplify and celebrate what makes each couple unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were supposed to get married May 16th 2020 in-front of all of our closest friends and family. Once COVID-19 was in full swing, reality set in that our wedding was not going to go as planned. As our date was confirmed changed and our photographer no longer was available, we were on the search. One morning I came across Lindsey’s profile on Instagram and messaged her right away. We hopped on a FaceTime call with Lindsey that week and we knew she was perfect for us. We vibed like we had been best friends for years and we trusted her every decision along the way. It was very important to us to keep May 16th as our date and we loved Lindsey's 2020 motto “get married now party later.” Lindsey essentially planned our entire lighthouse elopement for May 16th from beginning to end. She went out hunting for locations and we trusted her to find the perfect one. (And of course she did). She went out of her way to watercolor our invitations adorably and other little details that made our day special. Lindsey handcrafted memories for us to share forever. I would recommend Lindsey to any couple out there looking to Elope. Especially a COVID bride; finding Lindsey is what got us through wedding planning during this pandemic!!

I feel that my exposure to changing environments has allowed me to appreciate things from various perspectives and remain calm and assertive in fast pace situations. Such as weddings!

Hannah was excellent with communication, she always answered my questions in a timely manner (and I had a lot of questions). The day-of had its own hitches but they were just about the only thing I didn't have to worry about. They were on time, professional but still warm and comforting on a very stressful day. I cannot say enough good things about them. And of course the photos are gorgeous.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

We absolutely loved working with Kelton from Day 1. After our initial phone call, we loved how friendly and collaborative he was about putting together the right feel for our ceremony as well as reception - he had a fabulous planning doc we used throughout the months leading up the event with several of our other vendors that helped tie everything together, thanks to Kelton. He also offered the best add-on of lights and photobooth that we could hope for that suited our budget and crossed off having to find additional vendors for twice the cost. His setup and takedown was seamless and he was super self-sufficient throughout the event which made all the day-of-coordination smooth and our coordinator spoke highly of him and his team as well. Most importantly - he kept our guests dancing and enjoying all night long, timed our ceremony music exactly as we wanted, and MC'ed the speeches with everyone's names and relationships to us pronounced (we are from South American and Indian families so that meant a lot to us) and phrased just as we'd hoped & planned for. We also reached out about 3 months after the event to see if we could get our photobooth photos sent to us to have a copy in addition to those guests printed out and he was able to help us right away. He is the best, so thankful we were able to find him in the wild planning process!
