RS Moments 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

RS Moments were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was considerate, kind, and unique. They truly understood the importance of capturing our day in a way that felt personal and special to us. Throughout the process, they were caring, understanding, and respectful, guiding us through different poses and angles to get the perfect shots. We loved how they incorporated unique elements like mirrors, umbrellas, and the beach to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos that perfectly complement our love. The results were absolutely stunning, and we are so grateful to have these memories preserved. We couldn't recommend RS Moments more highly!

Emma Cleary Photo and Video 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

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!!!!

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.

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.

I can't say enough good things about Melissa! From the moment we first talked, I just knew she was the one we wanted for our wedding. On the big day, she was absolutely incredible, capturing every perfect moment with such an amazing eye for detail. Melissa's photojournalism style was exactly what we were looking for. She has this talent for blending candid moments with beautifully posed shots, and the pictures she took with film have this gorgeous, timeless feel to them. Plus, she was so calm and reassuring throughout the day, anticipating everything we needed before we even knew we needed it. We booked her for 10 hours to make sure we got "the most" coverage, including our rehearsal dinner and an engagement shoot, and her team did a fantastic job with the videography too. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, Melissa is the one. We couldn't be happier with our photos and videos. Highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

With nearly two decades of experience capturing weddings, I've honed my craft into an art form. As a lifelong New Yorker, the city is my canvas. I’m not just a photographer; I’m your insider, offering expert recommendations to make your special day truly unforgettable. My passion for preserving love stories is the driving force behind every image I create.

When you book Susan, you book an entire team. I was so confident the whole night that photos were completely handled because Susan's team was ON TOP of it. Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with. Susan was very patient and kind with me too whenever we did pre-wedding calls and I was an utter mess trying to plan everything.

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

We had the pleasure of working with Park Ave Studio for our wedding photography. Their communication throughout the entire process was awesome, amazing and fantastic - they were extremely responsive over email and phone and made us feel at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work and value offered was amazing, caring, kind and fantastic. They captured our special day beautifully through their photos, which we will treasure for years to come. Some examples that stood out: they scouted our venues ahead of time to find the best spots for photos, they worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and they made sure to get all the shots we requested. Overall Park Ave Studio went over and beyond to work with us for our wedding and we would highly recommend them to other couples!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

Celebrating the wholeness of life and the perfection of love I truly ask you to "stay gold"! My beautiful clients are couples of all genders, orientation, and identities who have found each other and want this moment in time captured in heirloom quality. We leave the churches and the hotels and venture into wild world, up the mountains, to the islands, into the forests, and out into the deserts. Stay Gold Tyler delivers stunning portraits, family heirloom formals, and b-roll candids that will have you laughing and "aww"ing for a lifetime. Tyler splits time between South Florida, New York City, and Seattle.

We got married in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park in Washington state. We chose Tyler because we hadn't been to the location before, and he was from the area. He guided us through the entire process, helping us find a beautiful place for the ceremony in the rainforest, and provided clear directions for getting there (it's 4 hours from the city, deep in the national park). He managed to keep us laughing even when it started raining. My husband and I can be awkward in formal photos, but Tyler helped us feel comfortable the entire day, and the results were absolutely stunning!

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.

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

We can’t recommend Mike enough! Upon initially seeing his work, we had our hearts set on booking him as our photographer and literally based our date on his availability. The entire process, from the initial meeting, to the engagement shoot, drafting a wedding day timeline, and the day itself, was seamless. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos are stunning and we are so in love with them. We’ll be making every excuse to use Mike as our photographer in the future! - Jaclyn and Mike June 22, 2024

Keith MacDonald Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, his communication was clear, transparent and made us feel comfortable. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - he captured every shot we had envisioned, even when we unexpectedly had to shoot our first look in rain and sneak the bridal party photos in during then too. Keith made us so comfortable during our photo sessions, helping us feel at ease despite our natural discomfort in front of the camera. Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day. I would recommend Keith to absolutely everyone and would book him again in a heart beat.

Kansas girl plopped firmly in the middle of Brooklyn—and loving every minute of it. When I’m not awkwardly dancing at your wedding reception I can be found exploring NYC with a large coffee in hand, hosting dinner parties for my friends, oogling puppies on the street (please bring your dogs along to our sessions…), or feeding my popcorn addiction at the movies. I feel damn lucky to have a job where I get to hang with the coolest people on such an amazing day. Let's have some fun and make some awesome memories together!

In my mind, there is no other choice for a wedding photographer, but Sarah. Her warmth, charisma, humor, and artistry is what makes her uniquely top notch in this industry. Sarah put my husband and I at ease, there were so many moments where I forgot she was there (haha!). She knows how to corral family members to knock out formal photos and then captures the intimate moments so beautifully and subtly. She seemed to work so effortlessly and constantly with so much pleasure. You never feel rushed or behind, it's like she knows the rhythm of the day without controlling it herself. She is the best person to have at your side to document your special day. I cannot recommend her enough.

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

We were so impressed with Saajan's professionalism and expertise from start to finish! He's not only a talented photographer but also an incredible person to work with. Saajan was organized, punctual, and made sure every shot was perfect. He gave us just the right amount of direction while still allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera. The final photos blew us away, and we've received so many compliments from family and friends. If you want a photographer who is both skilled and a joy to work with, Veil and Film is the best choice!
