Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wow WOW!! We are beyond grateful to Marilyn for capturing our joint proposal so beautifully! As a queer couple, we haven’t always had positive experiences feeling fully seen and comfortable during special moments. However, she was truly incredible. From the very start, she made us feel safe, respected, and completely at ease, allowing us to be our true selves. Marilyn's warmth and professionalism ensured that we could fully enjoy the moment, and it shows in the absolutely STUNNING photos she created. Every image reflects the love and joy we felt that day, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. Thank you for preserving these memories so perfectly and making it a lovely experience.

Please reach out via the contact page on my website to connect! // I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful editorial guided posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding. One quick call with her and I knew she was our photographer. She was so warm and welcoming and we felt completely ourselves around her. We had FUN spending time with her for both our engagement and wedding photos. Aside from her amazing skills - she went ABOVE AND BEYOND to coordinate our engagement photos with us when we were living in California. She was the easiest choice we made and we love every photo she took for us. Cannot recommend her highly enough! - Chelsean Nick

Thalia Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $9,000
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

Thalia is a NYC & destination wedding photographer based in Queens, NY. Being the lead photographer and owner of her business, she has 10 years of experience capturing engaged couples. She has developed a keen eye for detail, leaving couples with intentional photographs that capture the authenticity of their wedding day. A New York native, she grew up on Long Island for many years where she received her BFA in Visual Arts from SUNY Old Westbury and now - if she's not traveling - you can find her enjoying a new coffee shop or re-watching The Office!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer who captures not just moments but *feelings*, Thalia is your girl. From the second I scrolled through her Instagram feed, I knew I needed her to document our wedding. Her documentary-style photography is pure magic...she has such a natural gift for catching those small, in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. The hand-holding, the extended hugs, the quiet happy tears - she sees it all, and I’m truly beyond grateful to have had an artist like her capture those moments for us. We booked Thalia for three different wedding events (an intimate church ceremony, our welcome party, and the wedding day itself), and let me tell you...she did her thing! She was professional, punctual, and precise, yet brought this wonderfully calm, grounding energy that I truly needed on a day full of emotions. She also took the time to ask questions and understand my (very tricky) family dynamics, making sure to prioritize what mattered most to me while still staying true to her signature style. After we booked her for the wedding, we got to plan our engagement session too. I showed up with a bag full of disco balls, confetti, champagne, and multiple outfit changes, and she RAN with it! No hesitation, no stress - just total creative freedom and fun. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable, like we could be our fullest & most authentic selves. I’ve already recommended Thalia to my closest friends and even complete strangers because EVERYONE deserves to have their love story captured by her. If you’re on the fence...book her. You’ll be endlessly grateful you did!

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

Hi, I'm Kevin. I love capturing my images with natural light and my favorite time in the day for it would be sunrise and sunset. That's my motivation for my photography. When I'm not photographing weddings, I take pictures in the back of the eye. Yup, you heard me right!

His versatility ensures that he can accommodate people from all walks of life.

Awarded Best of Zola
Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.

We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

I was lucky enough to have Manai photograph our special day this past July. Most of the wedding was a whirlwind, so I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos of our day to look back on. Manai was great to work with and captured the day in such a beautiful way. Even better than my wedding Pinterest board could have imagined!! I am not used to taking photos so I was pretty nervous at first but he had me laughing and put me at ease in no time. Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, and you want to make sure you pick someone great. That person is Manai!! You won’t be disappointed! Manai is such a professional and talented photographer. All my photos look like they belong in a magazine. They all came out so well. I have the most beautiful photos of not only me and my husband, but our friends and family having a great time. Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives.

Five stars. Beautiful work. Professional. Great energy. Everything as expected and agreed to ahead of time. Highly recommended. Shei did hair and make up for myself (bride) and my mother for the wedding. She did an excellent job - we were both very happy with the result. She made our skin look flawless and eyes glamorous. She was also creative with my hair and did a nice job with the accessories I gave her to work with. We didn’t do the trial upfront but we exchanged photos ahead of the wedding to brainstorm (she also gave me suggestions based on my features and the outcome was true to what we discussed) which helped wedding day go smoothly. She checked in a couple of days before the wedding and arrived early to the hotel (she had everything set up and ready to start before I arrived, which allowed wedding prep to be efficient and easy for us). I thought she budgeted our time well (she knew exactly how long everything would take). It was also helpful having one person do both hair and make up to reduce the number of vendors I had to manage (and even think about) on wedding day. She also left me with a small touch up package which was thoughtful (although my hair and make up stayed perfectly the entire night). I’m glad she was part of my wedding day and I look forward to hiring her for other events in the future. Highly recommend.

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory. I highly recommend booking Kara as your wedding or engagement shoot photographer! I know that I will be booking her again for any of our future life events.

I loved the flow we had together when working alongside one another and the planning process was very easygoing with her. Tanya will always be a wedding hair makeup vendor I’ll work with! She does such beautiful, effortless work/looks.

Welcome to Velvet Valley Cakes, where vintage charm meets modern flair. Inspired by the timeless techniques of classic cake decorating books, I bring a bygone era's elegance to life with intricate, handcrafted buttercream designs. My diverse upbringing in Queens, NY, has infused my creations with a unique fusion of flavors, reflecting the eclectic culinary landscape of my childhood. From traditional to unexpected, my cakes blend nostalgia with innovation, making every wedding celebration a sweet masterpiece.

We hadn’t initially anticipated wanting a vintage-style wedding cake, but once we saw Blair Gutierrez’s creations at Velvet Valley Cakes, we completely fell in love with the idea. Blair’s artistry and attention to detail were evident from the start, and the cake on our wedding day was nothing short of perfect—both visually stunning and absolutely delicious. Blair provided us with an exceptional tasting experience, delivering four different miniature cakes for us to try. Each cake was flawless, delivered without any issues, and gave us more than enough to sample and enjoy. The thoughtful presentation of the miniature cakes made the experience even more fun and memorable. With every flavor tasting so amazing, it was hard to narrow down our choices, but we ultimately decided on two flavors for our wedding cake (Earl Grey Lemon Blueberry & Mediterranean). From our first communication to the tasting process and all the way to our wedding day, everything with Velvet Valley Cakes was seamless, professional, and delightful. The cake was a true highlight of our celebration, and we are so grateful to Blair for making our wedding day even sweeter. We couldn’t recommend Velvet Valley Cakes more!

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

Beauty Refinery NYC was a great choice for my wedding reception. Their communication was direct and timely, which ensured we were on the same page. Kristen was very meticulous with her work so my hair and makeup lasted all afternoon despite the heat and direct sun on our rooftop party.

Imagination Enthusiasts. Party Animals. Sustainability Focused. Foam-Free Floristry. Bespoke designs curated to create custom works of floral art. We aim to work alongside clients to bring an unexpected mix of on trend designs and elegant classic styles. Whether it be an intimate gathering after City Hall or the event of the season, we can't wait to design something special and tailored to you!

I don’t know what magic Fern Botanica puts into their flowers, but they delivered the most impressive array of bouquets I’d ever seen in my whole life. We ordered bouquets a la carte from them (two bridal and 16 bridesmaids!), and gave them a color palette and inspiration image to work from—and I cannot even believe how stunning the result was. Our budget was limited, so we reused the bouquets as centerpieces for the tables, and Fernies also helped us figure out the best size vases, so we could transition them easily. Also, we were gifted flower preservation, and the artist immediately asked who our florist was because she was so impressed by the flowers. That’s how you know it’s good. I will absolutely be using them again for everything from causal arrangements to special events. The team there has such an incredible eye and style, they did all the heavy lifting, and we got to enjoy the rewards of people complimenting our beautiful flowers. Win/win.

While continuing to work in the television & movie industry for several decades, I ventured into photography. My career focused on the moving image but my heart sought the individual moments, the individual frames. The perspectives were the same; to better understand how light and shadows help tell a story and define a moment. This is now a pursuit to help you document your priceless moments & story.

Larry went above & beyond to capture the best day of our lives. Besides being timely and professional, he was so kind. He put us at ease and kept the process of taking pictures fun, even when my dress became uncomfortable later in the day. Our wedding guests loved Larry and he got such beautiful candid shots of them. I look at his pictures and I still get a little teary!

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!
