NataliaRes Beauty 

5.0

Bronx, NY
  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

My passion for makeup and hair artistry was visible since a very young age. At 16 years old, I entered my first creative competition and placed top 3 for all of Long Island, New York. After years of pursuing hair/makeup as a hobby, I wanted to take my craft to a professional level and wound up at the London AOFM. The journey from NY to London gave me an entirely different perspective of the beauty industry. While learning from top artists from around the world, I honed in on and advanced my technique. I am now a freelance artist working in Bridal and with the Photo Studio Group specializing in modeling portfolios.

It was a great experience working with Natalia and her team. She was very organized and punctual and my wife and her friends were all very happy with their looks. Natalia was super professional and a very talented artist. I strongly recommend her for your next event. We will use this artist again.

Ashley Guice Creative is a Phoenix-based luxury wedding photographer with a passion for capturing the beauty of human connection. Since 2017, Ashley Guice has been creating stunning images that blend artistic flair with genuine emotion. With over seven years of experience in photography and a decade-long background in the arts, she brings a unique perspective to every event she covers.

We couldn't be happier with our experience working with Ashley! From start to finish, she was an absolute joy to work with. Her attention to detail and creativity truly brought our vision to life, capturing every moment beautifully. We had an unfortunate cancellation of our original venue, and with our new venue having a completely different look, Ashley was a great thought partner in scouting locations and helping us achieve the look and feel in our photos that we were going for. Despite the challenges of a venue change and the usual wedding planning craziness, Ashley remained positive, resourceful, and was also just down right fun to work with! Ashley is a true artist, dedicated to the artful execution of every detail. Nothing felt cookie-cutter or ordinary—she took the time to understand our vision and how we wanted to remember the day and then actualized it through her artistic lens. I wanted something artful, chic, and elevated but also real, candid, and documentary-style—and Ashley delivered exactly that. She was also fantastic at understanding how we wanted to be photographed throughout the day. More than anything, she made sure our enjoyment of the day was a priority over just "getting the perfect shot," which was crucial for us. We were able to enjoy every moment, and the photos capture that perfectly. Her team was amazing, too! We got to work with two of her assistant photographers, and they were just as supportive and friendly as Ashley. We would recommend AGC to any couple looking for a photography team who is dedicated to capturing the essence of your wedding in a way that feels unique, personal, and meaningful. - L & L

Beacon, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

We love working with Cappy! She is an incredible story teller. She uses a mix of film and digital cameras to capture weddings in such a beautiful and unique way. Simply the best!!

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

I had the pleasure of officiating a wedding that Hiba was the photographer at in Forest Hills. Hiba was charming, open, and clear in her questions and open to collaboration while willing to give direction when requested. Hiba was super responsive and communicative in following up and providing me with images for my own use and the images themselves were phenomenal. Her pictures really capture the feel of the moment with an artful authenticity and distinct perspective. I highly recommend hiring Hiba!

Chrissy is an absolutely amazing photographer. I’ve followed her work for years and knew as soon as we got engaged that Chrissy would be our photographer. During the process I stressed to Chrissy I just didn’t want the same traditional boring poses/portraits for either our engagement photos or wedding photos and she delivered! Granted, there were some exceptions for family photos of course, but overall exactly what we wanted. Chrissy made us feel extremely comfortable and I trusted her judgement on everything. She is easy to work with and really goes above and beyond to make sure that your day goes smoothly. Thank you so much for everything! You really helped capture the love and happiness on our wedding day!

Alessarro Beauty

Brooklyn, NY

  • Serves Far Rockaway, NY

I thought I would share with you what 'Alessarro' means. 'Ales' ... taken from Alessio ... my mother's family name & 'sarro' ... taken from DiSarro ... my father's family name Growing up I was very fortunate to be close to both sides of my family. So why not name my business after the people the helped mold me into the woman that I am today. I am also forever indebted to many of them for stepping up to be a model as I cultivated my artistic ability.

I loved working with Ashley and her team at Alessaro Beauty for our September 2021 wedding. Our wedding was affected by COVID-19 and we ended up shifting our date to over a year out. Ashley was extremely accommodating and worked with us to update the contract to our new date without hassle. I met with Ashley and her hair stylist, Zuleika, for a trial a month or so before the wedding. It was a great opportunity to meet in person, talk about the wedding vision, and get to know them better to ultimately feel more comfortable on the day. I was initially drawn to Ashley because she not only does weddings, but also high fashion, film & TV, and other events in NYC, which was important to me for a chic look. She has such extensive product knowledge + expertise, and as a makeup/skincare lover myself, I really enjoyed talking through all the products she was using. The makeup trial wasn’t exactly what I had in mind, so we discussed alternatives and shared reference photos via email to nail down the final look. To start, Ashley did my and my sister’s makeup for the rehearsal dinner, which was stunning and got us excited to kick off the weekend. On the day of the wedding, Ashley and her team arrived on time and were a joy to have getting ready in the bridal suite. They did hair and makeup for not only myself and 6 bridesmaids, but also my mother, MIL, and SIL, so it was a tall order and they absolutely nailed it. I was OBSESSED with my final bridal look - I loved the false eyelashes and the gorgeous Mac lipstick (which Ashley gifted so I could reapply throughout the day). I truly felt like a show-stopping bride and the absolute best version of myself. We arranged for Ashley to stay throughout the first look, ceremony, and the start of the reception to do a few touch ups, which honestly was the best decision to keep me looking gorg all day and night. At the end of the experience, Ashley proved to be more like a friend than a vendor. She is so kind, enthusiastic, and truly has a passion for what she does, which shines through every interaction. I highly recommend Ashley and her team at Alessaro Beauty for your wedding or event.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day. I've been photographing weddings for nine years and love working with couples interested in authentic moments and stunning portraits. From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

Awarded Best of Zola
One of our friends articulated what makes Bryan such a phenomenal wedding photographer better than I could: Bryan managed to capture an absolutely incredible, hilarious moment on the dance floor—a photo too inappropriate and embarrassing to detail here, which we will cherish for there rest of our lives—and immediately rushed over excitedly to show us the photo, turned his camera around to capture our reaction, and disappeared again. It was one of the only moments during the reception we actually noticed he was there, but looking through his photos, it’s clear he was everywhere, all at once. There isn’t a moment we remember that isn’t on camera. We cannot recommend him highly enough, especially for anyone who struggles to feel comfortable on camera. He knew our schedule and the list of group photos we wanted better than we did, which took a massive weight off our shoulders and allowed us to be truly present - as soon as he arrived I stopped checking the time, because I knew he had it handled . He is funny and personable and his direction put us at ease in a way that made even our family portraits look almost candid. His shots are gorgeous and dreamy, but natural, and he perfectly captured the joyous and loving energy of our day. We have never looked better on camera.

Whether you're a natural in front of the camera or you hide whenever one comes out (like me!), I'm ready to capture you at your most radiant.

Mei is phenomenal at capturing tender and exuberant moments AS THEY HAPPEN. Nothing looks staged because nothing felt staged. She was there with us to make every step of what could have been a very stressful day feel as fun, loving, and exciting as possible. From booking to planning to the wedding weekend itself, Mei was communicative, gentle, and intentional. She wasn't just there to capture the weekend, she improved it in every way.

Bringing along my expertise as both wedding planner and travel agent, I’m your personal concierge for all your wedding and travel arrangements! It’s my pleasure to walk with you on a wedding planning journey that is elegant, sophisticated, and enjoyable!

Brooke once told me during one of our many consultations, that the name of her business was “practically perfect” because nothing is ever 100% perfect, but her goal is to get it as close as possible. I didn’t realize how right she would be. First off the vendors she chose- the catering, the dj, the hair and makeup artist, the bartender, the florist… every single one of these vendors came through in a big way for me! They all knocked it out of the park, and that’s mostly because of Brooke! She knew what she was doing when she chose them, and she handled pretty much all of the communication. I just had to give approval and tell them exactly what I wanted, and Brooke made sure that happened. You just have to trust that you chose her for a reason and that she is going to make the right decisions. Every single thing about my day exceeded my expectations. Now let’s talk about her professionalism. I had someone at my wedding be… not so nice to her. Not Brooke’s fault. She handled it with grace and professionalism both during and after the situation, and made sure it caused as little of a hiccup as possible during my day. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me that Brooke was there for me every single step of the way taking care of things. I’m sure there’s things she tackled that I don’t even know about, and for that I am grateful also. Brooke, thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you did for me. You never once seemed stressed or overwhelmed which put me at ease during this process. I am so grateful for you, my wedding wouldn’t have been the same without you!

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are artists of the finest caliber and they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book them immediately! They excel at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having them photograph the event, and the photos they deliver at the end. On your wedding day: They of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic they deliver is that everyone forgets they are there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how they do it, they didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo they delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and they were both so sensitive to that without losing anything important. They melt into the background and capture the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. When they deliver the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which they delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. They are very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline and of course answered every single question we could have had along the way. They also helped us create a timeline for the day which kept everything on track and as planned which helped keep my head on straight! They weave the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album they delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

Our wedding at Wave Hill, Bronx, was a total dream, and a massive shoutout goes to Daria for capturing all the magic of our day. Daria's style is like a blend of real-life moments and fashion flair, and our wedding photos could've easily graced any bridal magazine. She or her assistant - Connor, were like flies on the wall! I was impressed that they were always nearby, but blending perfectly with the guests! She was always super professional, always on time, and kept us calm amidst all the wedding chaos. (And we had a very chaotic day, from missing a cake for a cake cut to me (bride) breaking a heel on my shoes) She's got this incredible eye for capturing raw emotions and tiny details that would've otherwise gone unnoticed. Looking at our photos, it's like we're reliving the entire day. During the portrait sessions, Daria worked her magic, giving us tips that made us look and feel like Hollywood stars. We seriously felt like celebrities, and our friends and family can't stop gushing about how amazing we looked. In a nutshell, if you want wedding photos that are fancy yet down-to-earth, Daria from Fall Marigold Photography is the one. She turned our wedding memories into pure magic.

His calming presence was especially appreciated by my husband, who felt at ease throughout the entire experience. Charlie's talent behind the lens is remarkable. Not only did he capture stunning photos of us inside the courthouse, but he also took the time to explore the surrounding area, capturing the bustling energy of Manhattan during this beautiful moment in our lives. His kindness was evident in every interaction, putting me and my husband at ease, resulting in beautiful pictures. I highly recommend Charlie as a photographer who not only delivers a stunning gallery but also goes above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience for his clients. Thank you, Charlie, for capturing our special day so beautifully!!

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can.

If I could add 100 stars, I would. Danielle was phenomenal from the start. She was extremely responsive to all of my questions. One thing that I believe makes Danielle stand out from other photographers is her adaptability. For our engagement photos, our initial location did not work out, but she was quick and willing to switch locations at the last minute. She knew exactly where to go to get the perfect pictures that fit our vision. My husband and I were initially so nervous about taking pictures, but Danielle made the process so seamless and FUN! My husband and I still rave about our engagement session. For our wedding, it was a very chaotic few days leading up to the event. I had to make changes to the schedule at the last minute and she was kind and accomodating, and rolled with the punches like a true professional. She had to deal with a lot of moving parts and did it with true grace. She eased my anxiety and was a pure joy to work with. She also had her second photographer with her, Taylor who was also pure perfection, and they both worked really well with my son, who has ASD. I felt that I had friends working with me, and not just business owners who wanted to collect a payment. Her work is unmatched, but her kindness towards her clients especially during stressful times is something that you can't get from just anybody. Danielle is truly a special soul, and I will continue to work with her for future projects. I will tell anyone I can about how perfect she is, and having her as your wedding photographer is the only logical choice you can make for a smooth and happy day!

I simplify the wedding planning process, ensuring every event exudes modernity, timeless luxury, and incredible detail while providing an iconic experience for everyone. I first fell in love with weddings when I watched The Wedding Planner as a child, and I've now been planning events for over a decade. I'm obsessed with the details and ensuring every event is as unique as its hosts.

Talk about making the impossible, possible! I had worked with MVW Events to plan a surprise engagement picnic for my then girlfriend, now wife. Around the time, I was wrapping up my graduate program and set to graduate the day after I planned on proposing. MVW helped me set the vision for the picnic and coordinated sourcing vendors for the right deals on items that would make the moment extra special. With all the details in place, I was confident in what we had planned and was actually less nervous about the whole bended knee thing because of it. Fast forward to the day of and guess what ... It RAINED!! so the park area I had in mind did not allow folks on the grass after fresh rain so we had to change plans on the fly. Morgan and her super creative brain proposed she and her team set up everything in my apartment instead. That way we could have everything we needed for the occasion within arms reach. She even secretly met me while I was out with my partner at a school event to grab my apartment keys and head over to set everything up while I was out. When we got home, when I say the place looked like MAGIC!! We were both blown away (but of course I had an idea of what to expect). And of course, it went perfectly from there. We are now coming on a year happily married and I would not have had the confidence to execute such a plan on my own. THANK YOU Morgan & Team!! 10/10 Recommend!

Since it was a very intentional Black queer celebration honoring our love and commitment, the floral choices and expertise Andrew brought was the linchpin to success, from the very beginning with our first "Get-to-know-each-other" call throughout the process including a venue walk-through up right through the big day. He ensured each detail of our wedding arrangements conveyed our intention while centering our rustic elegant color palette -- a compliment to the autumnal mountain backdrop and made us feel so seen.

However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day.

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

JULIA - where do I begin? When I first spoke with Julia a year and a half before my wedding I knew she was for us. I kept in touch with her after hiring her - here and there - but when I met her in person SPARKS FLEW. Her unique and unmatched talent in videography is just the beginning of who Julia is … Her positive energy and overall ability to make you feel beautiful and comfortable and unapologetically yourself. That is the magic you need in your wedding weekend and Julia holds the key. I would reccomend her 1283938 times over. She is a gift.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Based in Jersey City, I've been photographing weddings since 2010. I have two degrees in photography and wouldn't change a moment of what I do or how I got here. I spent 5 years producing celebrity photo shoots for magazines like Time Out and InStyle, so keeping cool under fast-paced pressure is kind of my thing. I'm always trying to push the envelope with what I do, whether that's finding a way to make better photos or optimize your experience with me.

Lauren is the absolute GOAT. Her photography style drew us to her, and then her professionalism, excellent organization, fun personality, and take charge yet flexible attitude made us die-hard Lauren fans. I loved working with her so much that I also hired her to work on my business' branding shoot. And honestly, how could I work with anyone else after working with the greatest of all time? Thank you x a million to Lauren for making our wedding photography an absolute dream from start to finish!

Ryan and Heidi are GEMS! We are so thankful we hired them for our wedding. I was actually sad when I had to say bye to them at the end of the night! They made the whole experience personal and fun. We just received a preview of our photos and we could not be happier with the results. All our friends and family were talking about how incredible our photographers were all day. We had 18 people in our wedding party, which is a lot of people to manage for group pictures. There was never a point where photos felt difficult or forced. It was like they were a part of our wedding party crew just enjoying the day with us. My husband and I are not extremely comfortable getting pictures taken, so we were a little nervous to have photographers following us around all day. The whole day felt natural and all of the photos captured real moments rather than posed or staged moments. They were genuine, accommodating, thoughtful, creative, and warm - basically every quality you could want in someone who is with you by your side throughout your entire wedding day. HIRE THEM NOW.

It is hard to put into words the tremendous gratitude I feel for Christina and her team with Lovelace Designs. We had our wedding at the Basketball Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA – a non-conventional space that very rarely holds weddings. There were countless unique aspects of this space we had to consider while planning the event, and it is no exaggeration that Christina executed everything perfectly. In addition to her amazing skills as an event coordinator, she is a kind and friendly person who supported me through all the unforeseen challenges associated with planning your wedding. Christina consistently went above and beyond what was contractually required. One example of this excellent service occurred when we were securing a pipe & drape vendor for our ceremony. Christina actually drove out to Holyoke MA to see the pipe and drape in person since this was a new vendor she had not previously worked with. I am so thankful she took that trip as we realized that vendor could not execute what we envisioned. After describing her concerns to me, she immediately presented me with a solution in the form of another vendor who was able to provide us with exactly what we needed for our space. This is truly just one example of the hundreds of occasions Christina’s customer service was far beyond what we could’ve expected. From the first phone call I had with Christina, I knew that she would be pleasant to work with and up for the challenge. As time went on, I developed a profound appreciation for both her fabulous taste and her special ability to help me take simple ideas and create a seamless theme and elegant design. She was so wonderful to work with, my grandmother hired her to assist with my bridal shower and my mother-in-law also hired her to coordinate the 170-person rehearsal dinner the night before our wedding! Over the past year, Lovelace Design became a beloved part of our celebrations and Christina became an extended member of our family. I look forward to using Christina again for future occasions and truly cannot express my gratitude for all her help, compassion, and skillset!

My husband Kevin and I got married in Simsbury, CT on 10/15/22 and had the most perfect day imaginable. This was in large part thanks to Isabelle and Unison. When we first started planning our wedding, we sought out to find as many LGBTQ vendors as possible, so finding Fairy Meadow (based out of our beloved neighborhood, at the time) was a true dream come true. I can't begin to express how easy the whole process was, from start to finish. When we first spoke over the phone, we shared our budget, a bare bones vision for our florals (dahlias, dahlias, and more dahlias!!!) and Isabelle took it from there. What we were greeted with upon entering the tent on our big day, was truly picture perfect. THE COLORS. The florals that Isabelle grows in her own backyard are truly mind boggling. Our guests are STILL commenting on how beautiful they are--especially because we sent a sample off to have professionally pressed (through a recommendation utilized directly from Isabelle). If you are looking for a local team who is passionate about growing sustainably and prioritizes communication, collaboration, and remembers what this business is all about, truly look no further. We truly can't recommend Isabelle and Unison enough. It was a dream to work with them, and I wish we could do it over and over again :)

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

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

We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her.

I blend staged and candid images to tell a complete and compelling story and guarantee the best quality possible.

As a bridal attendant, working alongside Dasha was an absolute pleasure. Her professionalism and attention to detail were evident throughout the entire wedding day. Dasha's ability to capture the essence of each moment with her artistic eye and expertise ensured that every shot she took was perfect. She seamlessly integrated into the day, effortlessly coordinating with the bridal party and other vendors to ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. I was particularly impressed by her professionalism. Dasha's commitment to quality and her friendly demeanor make her an invaluable asset to any wedding team. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture their special day.
