My love of photography started when I realized the happiness photographs can bring to other people, even strangers. To have the ability to capture a moment and the opportunity to catch emotions all with a single click is empowering. Whether its an intimate moment at a wedding, a subtle reaction of a newborn, or just taking life's details and turning them into art, all facets of photography appeal to me.

As a couple who doesn’t love to take photographs of ourselves, finding a great photographer was initially a daunting task for us. Luckily, we found David, who made this process simply seamless for us. David’s social media account and website clearly display his beautiful work which make every wedding look like a fairy tale. David responded to our inquiry quickly, and he was extremely thorough and organized during our initial meeting. We immediately booked him for our wedding which also included an engagement photo session. David made us feel comfortable while taking our photos. He gave us great direction and was extremely easy to work with. Our engagement photos came out beautiful, and we received them quickly. David’s organization for the wedding was stellar. He was creative, and helped make the whole day so carefree and fun. Our photos were beautiful, and really captured our love on our special day. Throughout the process, David was very professional, prompt in responding, and was happy to answer any questions we had. David was always on time for our meetings. We highly recommend David for your wedding! Out of all the stressful decisions couples have to make, this is an easy one! We are so lucky to have been able to work with him for our wedding.

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

There is no secret that we wanted to work with you since you photographed a wedding that i was in. Your patience and ability to remain calm in all the frantic moments showed me that you would be perfect for my wedding one day. On top of that, your passion for photography and knowledge of the craft as well as the beautiful photos you create made it an easy decision. So when that time came, we knew right away that our first call was to you. For our engagement shoot we talked about going on boardwalk rides to get really amazing shots and despite your insane fear of heights you responded DONE !! No questions asked, no matter how nauseous it made you. Their aren’t enough words to express our thanks and gratitude for all the CRAZY things you have done while working with us, including our 13.5 hour photo shoot / adventure/ road trip through sand dunes, Red Rock Canyon, alien brothels, a dry lake bed, a ghost town with jumping cacti, and finding Area 51. You two are the epitome of what it means to be truly genuine human beings. It is the reason that we loved having you shoot our wedding and even more so to share some unbelievable adventures with you. Thank you again for everything. We cant say enough about how beautiful our pictures are and how every experience we have had shooting with you has been perfect.

Hello, my name is Daniel Martinez and I thank you for taking interest in my work! Photography and I go way back! I discovered my passion for it when I was fourteen years old. From the first moment I picked up a camera, I knew that this career was the one that I wanted to pursue. I have worked within the wedding photography industry for 10 years and have experience working with publications such as ESPN, PDN, and The New York Times. My Photography style is documentary based as I aim to capture natural candid moments.

Danny was such a pleasure to work with. He checked off all boxes of the traditional shots of us and the whole wedding party, and portrait shots of us during first look's, but also captured moments and journalistic style shots throughout the night that really showed our personalities. When we showed interest in doing "light painting" effect photos for some of the fun late-night shots, he dove right in. The first set of photos that he delivered to us the day after the wedding were awesome - I can't wait to see all of the final shots. Danny is an artist and it's clear in his work.

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Yensy was amazing! He offered us an engagement session where we met and he took great shots. He even included my mom in some of the photos, which was a nice surprise. He was prompt to our wedding day events and he took photos exactly how I asked. He provided a small sample of photos within 24 hours of our ceremony and we loved them all. And his pricing was simple, clear and affordable. I would definitely book Yensy again for future special celebrations. Thank you, Yensy!

There was not a moment of stress on our part as they took control of everything and made the day run so smoothly. We have received a few teasers already and cannot wait to see the rest of our day through their eyes!

Janine is absolutely incredible to work with! From my initial email request, to the day of our wedding, and even now two years later, Janine has always been responsive, helpful, and amazingly talented. Our communication during the wedding planning process was always quick and extremely helpful. She made sure we were on the same page with our photo timeline for the day of the wedding (even with a few last minute changes the day of!) and visited our reception site a few days before the wedding to search for good photo spots. My fiancé and I knew we wanted a photographer who would capture not only the classic wedding portraits but also the candid, silly, and fun side of the wedding. And oh my goodness did Janine DELIVER! She made us feel super comfortable behind the camera and made sure we quickly but efficiently got through all of our formal shots so that we could have time to enjoy our reception where she captured the moments of love and pure spontaneous joy! We have so many favorite hilarious and lovely photos of moments that we didn't even know were happening until looking at the album months later. Her photography style is also gorgeous! The lighting and colors in our pictures are beyond beautiful and just what I had envisioned when thinking about the perfect wedding photos. She sent us a huge online album with both colored edits as well as black and white ones. We have been able to relive the best moments from the most amazing day ever all thanks to her incredible skills. I can't recommend her to other brides enough and am so excited that she will be photographing both my family friends and my sister in laws weddings this coming year! THANK YOU JANINE!

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

Alex photographed AND officiated our little last minute Vegas elopement and we had so much fun! She was incredibly creative and got some of the coolest shots. She even managed to capture those sweet little moments you didn’t even know you’d want photos of. She made the whole process easy, fun, STRESS FREE and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. The photos and videos turned out amazing!!! Thank you Alex!!!!

My specialties are elopements and intimate weddings, I focus on candid, wholehearted moments, while always keeping the vibe playful and light. I’m a Brooklyn native, a momma, and a Harry Potter nerd who has been into art since birth.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

Jenny Lebron is MA-GI-CAL!! She did our engagement photographs and they looked like something straight out of a magazine. My fiancé and I are a bit camera shy but she made us feel SUPER comfortable taking such intimate pictures. She was happy to direct the shoot when necessary but also encouraged us to share and try our own creative ideas to make the pictures super personal. She is such a kind person and I couldn't think of a more perfect photographer for us. I would (and do) recommend her to anyone who is looking their wedding photographer.

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!

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!!

“Photography takes a moment out of life…and holds it still” A small collection of photographers who strive to capture the emotion and energy of life’s significant moments in a sophisticated yet understated light hearted way.

My husband and I cannot thank Hechler Photographers enough for everything. It was such a joy shooting with Julio for our engagement shoot in downtown Manhattan and our Rehearsal Dinner at the Union League Club in NYC, and we loved shooting with Julio, David, and John (the videographer) on our wedding day that took place on May 18, 2024 at the Metropolitan Club in NYC. From the moment we met David (recommended by our amazing planner, Jeff Stillwell of Stillwell Events), we knew it was a wonderful match. David is extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing listener. When David referenced notes from our very first conversation a year and a half later (just a little under a month from our wedding), I was beyond impressed and truly touched. We greatly appreciate how David, Julio, and John were all able to quickly respond in the moment and pivot as needed, whether it was to ensure my hair could be touched up to stay perfectly in place or that we could have time to relax before key moments (e.g., the ceremony). As an incredibly detail-oriented bride, I am so grateful for all the attention to detail that was demonstrated from the beginning of our wedding day to the end of the evening. David, Julio, and John managed to strike the perfect balance of making their presence known, while blending in perfectly (one of my friends had commented that most photographers & videographers she had seen at weddings were so loud and even disruptive). Not this team!!!! I will also be forever grateful for all the encouragement and helpful tips and pointers/direction that David and Julio provided throughout Friday and Saturday to make sure that everyone looked and felt their best while remaining confident in being themselves. I still have Julio’s voice in my head saying, “Work it!” I am so grateful that David and Julio were able to capture all the photos and videos on my extensive shot list, and then some!! My husband, our families, and I cannot wait to see these photos and videos - if the engagement shoot photos are any indication of what's to come, these photos and videos are going to be absolutely magnificent. David, Arthur, Julio, and Casey, thank you for everything! It has been such a pleasure working with you all. This past weekend felt like heaven on earth, and I’m so glad we chose you all to capture these memories we will cherish forever and ever. -Nicole & Kyle May 18, 2024

We worked with Jon for our civil wedding photos in Brooklyn Heights and couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the moment we got in touch with him for the first time until the handoff of all the photos, the experience was seamless. His extremely organised work methodology made everything smooth and easy. We spent two hours with him walking around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, and the result was a great variety of photos. Jon's got a special eye for lighting, composition and editing. On top of everything, his personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera. 100% recommend working with him. It will be fun and the final edits will be memorable.

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.

We are a husband and wife photography and videography team and have been shooting weddings for over a decade strong. The name says it all… we’re just different. If you don’t want cookie cutter video and images… look no further.

Our friends used Karmapants for their wedding so when it came time to plan our wedding we immediately knew we wanted to use Karmapants as our videographer! We love how they capture both the big moments and the more candid, fly on the wall moments as well. Their videos are truly next level. The planning process was very smooth. We loved working with Colin and Jenn the day off and had such a fun time with them. Our videos came back INCREDIBLE and were such a perfect encapsulation of the full day - the beautiful moments from getting ready, first look, the ceremony but also the fun moments on the dance floor. Bonus points for getting our videos back quickly. Would 100% recommend working with Karmapants!!

My wedding photography philosophy is super simple - keep it fun, keep it natural and keep it YOU. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have shot well over 300 weddings. I'm a lover of candid photos, but also know the importance of formal photos as well, so I provide a good mix of both traditional and photojournalistic styles. I approach wedding photography with a personal touch, understanding the depth of love and the significance of moments both big and small. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect the uniqueness of YOU and tell your love story.

one of the absolute best decisions we made when we got engaged was booking Allison for our wedding. She is one of the kindest people, and made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. our bridal party and families also loved working with her and our photos are STUNNING. the turnaround time on our photos shocked us in the best way possible - she had our whole album to us less than a month after the wedding. she felt like a friend and made our day so seamless. we couldn't recommend her more - book right away if you're thinking about it!!!

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!

I’m into spending all my time at a beach every chance I get, having my nose stuck in a book and if there were no biological consequences, I’d be eating chocolate and drinking tequila all day. I’m half Indian and half Chinese and multilingual (I speak Bahasa, Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese). I was born and raised in Malaysia, did a little stint in Japan, attended law school and landed New York City.

Senshi feels like a good friend on your wedding day with an expensive camera - a photographer friend who actually knows what she's doing and expertly captures those sweet, little, happy moments with breathtaking photos. You'd be lucky to have her as your photographer aka memory documentarian! She not only guides you if you're uncomfortable in front of the camera, she delivers a sneak peek gallery almost right away so you can gush over all the feels of your wedding day. She's an absolute pro - personal, fun-loving, kind, and talented!

The ordinary can easily become the extraordinary, simply by willing it so. At the end of the day, your wedding photos should be no different. Because you are beautiful in your own special way. And who makes the rules? You do. And should you invite me to be a part of your most amazing day ever, I promise to show you only the most fun, amazing photos that’ll showcase the fun-loving and free spirits of two crazy-in-love individuals (and knock everyone’s socks off too). So be yourself. You can laugh, cry, or shout silly things if you want to. It’ll feel awesome, promise. The only rule is that there are no rules. Now let’s go have some fun :).

Karis Lau is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality photographs for their wedding. She is one of the most artistic photographers we have ever worked with!

We are NJ wedding photographers who enjoy capturing life’s timeless moments for you to cherish. We’re New Jersey natives, a husband and wife duo, raising our little girl and Sheepadoodle pup on the east coast. Your love knows no bounds and we would love the privilege to get behind the scenes of your love and capture the raw, organic, and intimate moments. We love weddings for what they represent. Two people giving all of themselves to each other for the world to see.

Alberto and his assistant photographer brought the ultimate experience to our New York City wedding day on 02/24/24! From the very start we knew we wanted Alberto (we call him Chris) to shoot our wedding because of his beautiful film photography & style to his work. He’s professional, educated, passionate, creative & intentional in every detail of his work. When we hired him in November 2023, we had 4 calls where we discussed details, plans, vision, & what to expect. He knows his craft very well and is always making sure his couples are happy and comfortable throughout the process. Him and his assistant photographer were with us from Getting Ready to First Touch to the Altar and lastly, our party! They move efficiently & proactively, never leaving room for error and always leaving time for preparation & fun! I would hire Alberto & his team 10x more, & we cannot wait to see the full gallery. The few snippets alone took our breath away, we can’t even imagine all the hard work they’re putting into our photos. If you hire Alberto, you will not be disappointed!!!

I've been shooting unique, non-traditional, very-traditional, queer, straight, weird, normal, sexy, just-plain-fun weddings for over a decade now. Don't think your wedding falls into that category? Don't be so sure. Your unique love deserves to be documented whoever that may look. If you want bad-ass photography that stands out, all while having fun doing it, we're what you've been looking for. Let's connect. We'd love to hear your love story.

I haaaate having my photo taken. I was super anxious about the whole process going into it. It takes a certain amount of trust to let someone photograph you... Jay and his Bellocq team were A from start to finish. We were blown away by A) the sheer amount of photos given back (they don't cap their packages at certain photo counts) and B) how seamlessly the entire collection flowed together from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be re-booking them for our family photos (first baby on the way!!!) in the future. Jay is incredibly kind and fun to be around, and just puts you at ease. That is the first thing you'll notice when you meet. Can't recommend Bellocq enough!!!

First and foremost, I care about capturing your vision. Fabienne has been passionate about photography and capturing moments of beauty long before she officially started her business. Years ago, a friend asked Fabienne to photograph her intimate backyard wedding. In doing so, she discovered that she could share her passion and talents with the world. That same year she launched her business shooting weddings, and later expanded to newborns and families after the birth of her daughter. Additionally, she has over 10 years experience in commercial photography.

Fabienne is a true artist and a true professional. She photographed my wedding, and we've worked together on many photography projects since then as well. Before planning my wedding, I didn't think that choosing a great wedding photographer was super important for me, and didn't think it would be a top priority. I was wrong! I can't believe how much I treasure my gorgeous wedding photos. Fabienne knows how to make every shot beautiful, and she's inventive and creative in her approach. Plus, she really understands the logistical challenges of a wedding and knows how to make the process as stress-free as possible. She listens to what you want, and she'll make sure that you get every photo your heart desires.
