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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first spoke with Saajan and the team at Veil & Film, we knew they were the perfect photographers to capture our special day. Their communication style was responsive, attentive, and professional, yet they also had a warm and collaborative approach that put us at ease. The quality of their work is simply outstanding - artistic, high-quality, and truly emotional. They captured so many candid moments that we didn't even realize were happening, like my father tearing up during our first dance. Saajan and his team made us feel so comfortable during our first look, guiding us naturally while still letting us enjoy the moment. The highlight video they delivered perfectly told our love story, and the full-length documentary allowed us to relive every detail we might have missed. Veil & Film didn't just give us photos and videos - they gave us memories we'll cherish forever. Their services were worth every penny, and we couldn't recommend them more highly.

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Like back in the day, learning on the field is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Howard Beach, 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
I couldn’t say better things about Marilyn if I tried. She was the first photographer who’s portfolio we fell for in our search, and while trying to budget and explore other options, we made our way back to Marilyn and questioned why we ever even bothered looking anywhere else. We did a round of engagement photos with her first, after an initial zoom to meet and get to know her. From the zoom alone we could tell right away what kind of sweet, wonderful, magical person she was. I felt like I was talking to an old friend immediately. During our engagement shoot, which myself and my now husband were SO nervous for (we are both awkward and camera shy, and I don’t know how to stop running my mouth during photos because of it) she made us laugh SO many times and immediately melted our anxieties away. We knew we made the perfect choice in a person to take care of us on our wedding day in that moment. We have so far received our previews, and we are simply in love. Marilyn captured intimate moments, fun moments, and beautiful, emotional moments that helped us feel like we were reliving our day all over again. She guided us through the day, took us to the best spots, got the photos we asked for, all without either of us having to think about a single thing or logistic at any point. She was on it. She is and was such a treat and added the kindest most comforting attitude and energy to our day, and all of our family and bridal party agree along with us (we got quite a few “where and how did you find her??”s). We also added a second shooter via Marilyn (who was also sincerely lovely) for just one hour, during our pre-ceremony and ceremony, for a little extra coverage and timeline speed, and a roll of film which was so much fun too. If you love artistic and stylized photos, and are seeking someone with both a great eye and wonderful, calming presence, I mean it, look no further. We are so happy we found Marilyn.

We originally found Thalia on TikTok and she captured the most magical engagement photos for us in NYC (we’re from Melbourne, Australia). She then made our absolutely dreams come true and agreed to come to Melbourne to shoot our wedding!!!!!!!! We had the most magical week with her and she made our friends and family feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured the most incredible moments for us. Due to a mix up with our officiant on the day, we couldn’t actually get legally married - so we’ll be going to city hall in NYC next month and you BEST BELIEVE Thalia will be joining us for a THIRD time to capture our lil city hall marriage day! We’ve found not only a lifetime photographer, but a lifetime friend.

Kara McCurdy Photography

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kara is in all things absolutely superlative. That might sound effusive, but I think it risks understatement. My wife and I had the privilege of engaging Kara’s talents for our wedding and it's difficult to convey how delightful working with Kara is and how happy we are with the photos that she took; language goes only so far. Picture me wild and gesticulating with glee, saying ‘look at this one, no look at *this* one!’ in sequence, for each and every photo of the wedding. I have Kara to thank for that, for these captured moments that I treasure over anything else. To get results like that I think you need to be an artist of considerable talent, a detail-oriented business owner, a capable director of unpracticed models, and to very much love what you do. I can say that all of these things are true about Kara: her work speaks for itself, her appointments are kept, her communications are prompt, detailed, and delightful, her directions while shooting ease you adroitly into your best angles, and her eye catches magic when you’ve forgotten about the camera entirely. Kara is a genius who will get you out of your head and into your heart, she is an absolute joy to work with, and I can’t recommend her photography enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was great to work with Michelle and her team. She was very professional, got along with all of the guests and the staff at the venue. She traveled to our hotel and to the venue with no complaints. Michelle and her team captured our wedding beautifully, from the getting ready photos, the ceremony and the reception! I love all the candids, the camera and picture quality are amazing. Everyone was able to tell that Michelle works very diligently and cares about the work she puts out. She sent the photos to us in a very timely manner and was communicative throughout the whole process. I love how at the time of booking, we had to schedule a consultation just for her to get to know us. It was camera’s on so we were all able to get a feel for who each of us would be working with. The exercise she had us do, when we needed to choose the pictures we love the best, of us during our relationship to assess if we would be a mutual fit, in terms of her working style was super cool because it showed us that she wants to make sure she meshes well with her clients. Overall, a wonderful experience & everyone should book!

The photograph is a medium that is both respected and cherished by all. Whether you’re leafing through your family’s photo album or choosing an image to introduce yourself to the world, a photo has the ability to cement a memory and make a statement. My mission is to share everyone’s statements and memories through my visual storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shanté is magnificent. From the beginning, we connected well, stayed on the same page, and had great energy together. She was timely and considerate, which was perfect since we had the typical wedding day emergencies! She kept us calm when we showed up after expectations, and made the experience fun and joyful so that we could serve face for our special moments. She stayed on point through the entire experience, including weaving in a photo walk around some of my favorite places as we made our way back to the venue from the main photo location. I felt taken care of, supported, and most of all, seen by the person I trusted to have a vision of the day. I can’t be more enthusiastic and grateful about the experience Shanté gave me and my new husband. I never plan to do this again, but if I did, she would be at the top of the list of vendors to call! She and her assistant poured kindness into our day, and it was delightful to return the favor.

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. But it all began in Siberia, Russia where I was born and raised and was supposed to live happily ever after working in the financial department of an airline company. But after a few years I decided to make a big change and move to New York City, the city that conquered me with all of its happenings, grandeur and diversity.

My partner and I decided to elope in NYC, we’re from Australia so I was stressed when it came to finding someone to capture our day.

Colby Blount Weddings

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

We recently hired Colby to shoot our tiny Covid-friendly Catholic ceremony and had an amazing experience! I cannot recommend him enough. Our ceremony took place in a historic Catholic church with restrictions on how close a photographer could get to the altar. Colby was very respectful of the space and still managed to get incredible photos of the ceremony. Our handful of guests commented on how non-intrusive he was while still managing to capture so many special moments. After the ceremony we went to a local park to capture photos of just myself and the groom and these photos blew us away. He was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable considering we are not naturals in front of the camera! The candid pictures look so natural and not forced. The variety of poses, backgrounds and settings he chose were great for getting many options of photos we love. I highly recommend hiring Colby for your wedding during and after this crazy pandemic. He wore a mask the entire time, was so calm and collected, and we had a blast spending our wedding day with him. He even let us stop to take pictures with our pet cat ! (LOL) Amazingly, our fully edited album of photos was ready less than a week later! We will always treasure these photos and this experience during the crazy times of 2020.

🤔 What are you searching for? Is it a calm, discreet and hard-working photographer? These personality traits were often appreciated in my clients testimonials throughout the years. Recently, I moved my business and my family to New York and I can't wait to serve the community that changed my life for the better. Most of the time during the wedding day I capture genuine moments just as they unfold. Formals and couple's photo session is where I will be your guide.

A dream has recently come true, that of joining my destiny with my partner from now until old age. We are extremely grateful that we had Ioana with us, who honored us with her glamorous, sweet, cinematic style. Every time we go through the photos, we feel as if we are watching the most successful film of 2023, a masterpiece. There were moments that my husband and I forgot to prepare, being caught in the moment and the stress of the event tho Ioana gave us the wonderful surprise of capturing incredible and intimate pieces of memories . Her work manages to impress us everytime we watch our photos and make us feel loved and beautiful. Therefore, I recommend Mrs. Ioana Stavar with all my trust and love. I am sure that she will take care of you, with as much passion as she has for photography!

Sascha Reinking Photography LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

The day you get married to your best friend isn’t about the size of the venue or the number of guests. It’s not about the flavor of the cake or flower arrangements. It’s simply about two people madly in love with each other, the intimate connection they share, and the memories they create along the way. After the food has been eaten, the presents have been opened, and the dress is hanging in your closet, your wedding day will still be with you – in your memories and in the images captured that day.

Sascha was so wonderful to work with!! I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of options we had available to us. I ended up narrowing down by the type of style I saw within photographers portfolio's. Sascha seemed to capture couples in their natural-at-ease compatibility. I reached out to Sascha and throughout our entire communication he was prompt at responding. We booked 4 months in advance and I did have an idea of the type of photo I was looking for. Sascha welcomed my location suggestions and we mapped out a game plan. The day arrived and though we were nervous to be in front of a camera, Sascha made us feel at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Sascha was easy to banter with and was flexible with angles and shots. We left Sascha after the shoot feeling excited and anxious on how well our vision translated to photos. When we got the photos back we could not be more pleased!! They came out exactly how we wanted them to and I couldn't have been more grateful to have found someone as talented, gracious and kind as Sascha.
