Awarded Best of Zola
We were so lucky to have someone recommend Lilysh to us for our wedding florals in the Catskills. Although I had a vision for what I wanted the flowers to look like, I am certainly not a flower connoisseur, so wanted to find a professional who I could trust to understand and execute my vision and Liliya was the perfect person to do just that. Her timing and communications were perfect, Including plenty of mockups and vision boards during our preliminary meetings, and continued conversations leading up to the big day. Plus - I love that she works with in season/local blooms, in addition to other sustainability efforts. Photo Credit: The Lovewigs

Vesta is truly a skilled artist and has a talent for knowing what looks best. She does hair and makeup for TV as well which especially gives her the expertise of knowing what looks good on camera.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Absolutely thrilled with our experience with Purslane! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. The Prospect Park Boathouse venue itself is nothing short of spectacular—a beautiful historic building in the heart of Brooklyn. The architecture alone made for the most stunning backdrop for our ceremony and reception. Beyond the beauty of the space, the service was truly top notch. The team was incredibly attentive, professional, and made us feel like our event was their top priority. From the planning stages through to the last dance, they were organized, seamless, and took care of every detail, allowing us to relax and enjoy our day. And of course, the food was outstanding! We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was. Every dish was beautifully presented, and we loved how they incorporated local, seasonal ingredients.

DJ Jared provided much more than the soundtrack to our wedding. He arrived early to ensure the sound for our ceremony - including mics for our officiant and readers. For cocktail hour, he played the perfect mix of classic and contemporary music and was a great emcee for speeches throughout dinner. Once the dance floor opened, he incorporated our must-play songs with some of his own selections, as well as requests from our guests. It all added up to a great night with great energy.

Shukhrat Kamalov Photography

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Hey there, I’m Shukhrat, a proud husband, a father and an artist. My love for photography started about fifteen years ago with photojournalism. Today, I continue to utilize my skills in capturing beautiful wedding and portrait moments that evoke the same emotions as the real moment. My photography style is diverse and has been refined over the years to showcase my creative vision. I am all about creating stunning, timeless artwork that truly captures the essence of a moment in true to life colors.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shukhrat and his wife Rachel just shot our June 8th wedding and we couldn't be happier. They were amazing to work with and the photos are phenomenal! About the pictures: Shukhrat is versatile and very skilled. When we took our engagement photos he provided us with various styles of photos and editing, and then used our feedback to guide the photos he took at our wedding. He is also flexible. We got married in a city park and there were wayyyy more people in the park than we were expecting at 6:00pm at night. Without missing any of the candid details or true-to-life colors that we wanted, Shukhrat was able to frame the photos and/or alter the lighting so that the park goers were barely visible in the background. Both Shukhrat and Rachel are also very skilled at giving direction when needed, but letting you do your own thing the rest of the time. Neither my husband nor I have a lot of experience in front of a camera—they gave us enough direction to feel confident, without making us feel stifled or overly posed. We wanted photos that felt organic and genuine, and they were really able to capture that. Working with Shukhrat and Rachel: The two of them were a dream to work with. Incredibly professional--very communicative, punctual, quick turnaround time on photos. And they are also just lovely people. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographers, it's really important to feel comfortable with them, and we certainly did. They brought both a fun, but calming energy, easing our pre-wedding jitters before the ceremony, and leaning into the excitement as the night went on. Although we hardly know them, they felt like friends. We are so glad we booked Shukhrat for our wedding!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

Lexi did a wonderful job capturing my husband and I’s wedding day! We couldn’t be more grateful for all the amazing photos she took for us. We will cherish them forever! Lexi is a very skilled photographer who pays close attention to detail. Her calm & caring personality was also very comforting for the both of us. Highly recommend L& L photography!

Rosehip Social Florist

  • Starts at $150 per arrangement

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

Rosehip Social did my florals for my November 2024 wedding at the Wythe Hotel and WOW did they deliver! When I'd booked with them the year prior based on photos of their work I'd seen, I had just provided a general vibe and color scheme and trusted them to do their thing. A few weeks before the wedding I visited their shop for a table scape preview and we were able to go through specific flower types and colors and finalize some details. I ultimately ended up giving them some general guidances-- include yellows, oranges, and whites, not too fall-inspired, retro feel, tons of baby's breath-- and then let them do their thing. We ended up including a full floral ceiling installation which made the space feel magical. Everything from our bouquets to boutineers, to table scapes were expertly crafted and could've been from the fanciest celebrity wedding out there. The team was collaborative and helpful around making my budget stretch, moving pieces around the venue at different times of the night, and working with the venue's install team. Lauren and Pola from Rosehip are complete professionals and worth the premium if you want the most gorgeous florals in town. I will 100% be recommending Rosehip to friends and would book them again in a heartbeat!

Tino Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

At Tino Photography, our style is a combination of photojournalism (candid), portrait and editorial photography. Our hope is that the images we create will speak volumes – about who our clients are as people, about relationships between newly married couples and about the subtle nuances of everyday life. Our goal is to provide you with a documentary-based illustration of your wedding day with guiding or posing when necessary. It’s not our intention to just “make pretty pictures”, but to truly make images that capture the relationship between two people in love.

I am truthful in saying that any review of Tino and his team will not do justice compared to the value you will get with him and his team. My wife and I had a covid-remix wedding where we had to move our wedding from right before Covid to April of 2021 (somewhat safe of a time to move forward). I have worked with Tino and his wife Ericka for about a year and a half and every step of the way Tino has been professional, accommodating, respectful, and just an absolute pleasure to work with. As a newly engaged couple and of course wanting to explore all of our options, my wife and I had decided to go to a wedding expo event at Terrace on the Park. After a warm welcome from his assistant CeCe and just admiring his work I knew right there I would be in great hands. From there I had reached out to Tino and we had an initial consultation. I just wanted to mention this because during that consultation, Tino’s first impression was so gentle and warm and I really appreciated that he wasn’t trying to sell us something like multiple other vendors. Also, Tino was able to intimately showcase his personal work and with that my wife and I were able to see that Tino genuinely has a passion for photography, loves what he does, and pours it into his work. The next time we met Tino was our engagement shoot. Tino and Ericka were beyond graceful and accommodating because we decided to do our photo shoot in Domino Park on what happened to be a windy, below freezing day near the water front during sunset. In-between the engagement shoot and covid pushing back our wedding Tino was very accommodating to work with and always keeping in touch in a respectful manner to just check in on us, our ideas, and genuinely our well-being. He gave us great advice as we spoke with other vendors to make our day as organized as possible. Fast forward to April 2021, the big moment finally came! We had a big fat Indian-Italian wedding consisting over a weekend. At every moment his team was professional and just a pleasure to work with to the point where our guests even pointed out how fun and pleasurable they were! Tino, Ericka, Benji, Adam, Derek, Gary, and Rubin at every moment were just punctual, funny, professional, and genuinely a good time. Tino gave great pointers that shined in his work - make up tips, dressing tips, lighting at the venue, poses, motions for our videos, color schemes, you name it. Tino and his team allowed us to feel relaxed and have fun this whole weekend which could have been super stressful. My wife and I were lucky to choose Tino. Our engagement shoot and wedding pictures are absolutely phenomenal. We are thrilled to show friends and family. We’re still using our engagement shoot as our Christmas card two years in a row. Absolutely fantastic work. Our wedding photos came out phenomenal and picture perfect like one of those pictures you get when you buy a picture frame from a department store. Our wedding videos WERE OUT OF THIS WORLD. They actually looked as if it were directed by a movie producer. The video was composed of great motions, video footage, music choices and more at every scene. Tino is beyond talented. All in all, we had a fantastic experience with Tino and his team and the most important thing was that we were completely comfortable while having a fantastic time. We were beyond lucky to have met Tino and Ericka and their team. I truly consider them not only my photographers for life but wonderful, warm people.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. 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. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

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.

We truly cannot say enough great things about Elle!! Not only did she make us the wedding video of our absolute dreams, but she was literally the easiest to coordinate with, was so flexible with our one million Covid wedding changes, and was the sweetest through it all. We are so thankful to have had her capture our wedding in the perfect way. From the initial coffee meet up, to the wedding day, Elle was a pleasure to work with! She is so professional, but is also a friend to her clients as well. We love you, Elle! Thank you for giving us such a priceless gift we will treasure forever. If you are looking for a wedding videographer, book her now!!

Far Out Feeling

  • Photographer

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

Constellation Culinary Group

  • Caterer
  • Starts at $15,000
  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Constellation is the caterer for numerous venues throughout the Philadelphia area, with unique locations from raw industrial spaces and lively concert halls to historic houses and iconic museums, and also offers in-home and office catering. Our dedicated team forms strong connections both inside our organization and with our clients, and these connections define us. Together, we bring restaurant-quality outside of restaurants, serving everything from intimate weddings to non-profit galas. We’ve built a culinary group that does what restaurants always have: get people talking—and daydreaming—about food, long after their last bite.

When we signed on with Constellation to cater our wedding, we had high expectations based on their stellar reputation alone, and they far exceeded our expectations on every level. During the year-long planning process, Brittany and her team were wonderful to work with; they were responsive from start to finish and very accomodating of our requests to ensure everything matched our vision from rentals to service to food. We had a backyard wedding so food service was anything but standard. They were flexible and nimble enough to service out of a barn (!) and a garage and somehow pulled it all off without a hitch. And, of course, the food was incredible. The cocktail hour spread with passed hors d'oeuvres and stations was a showstopper and I'm still dreaming about (and trying to emulate) our beautiful dual entree. Thank you to Brittany and the entire Constellation team for helping to make our wedding day perfect!

A Parisian transplant based in Brooklyn, I fell into with wedding photography very randomly on a New Year's Eve and it was an instant match for me. Since then, I've shot weddings in all sorts of venues from massive mansions to art galleries in New-York, Paris, the French Riviera, Scotland, and Portugal. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll find me at home with my cat and husband, or travelling across the world. 30 countries and counting!

Carole was great to work with over the course of our engagement shoot and wedding day. She is organized, thoughtful and has great suggestions to get the right kind of photos that will make your day memorable. Love her style and would highly recommend!

Hello, I'm Cheryl I'm a Philadelphia/NYC based photographer specializing in engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn and family photography. While working as a nurse, I found my passion in photography. My goal is to document genuine moments and provide results that you can cherish forever!

Cheryl is just THE best. Our wedding photos turned out better than I could’ve ever imagined. From the planning process, to the wedding day, to editing our photos, she does such great work and is amazing to work with. She was a calming and comforting presence when I was nervous the morning of the wedding. She ensured everything ran smoothly. We had to change the plan last minute due to a rainy day and she was easily able to transition things stress free. She found a new covered outdoor spot for photos and she explored the hotel herself to look for other spots as well. The bridal party and our families couldn’t say enough nice things about Cheryl. She got all of the photos we asked her to and the editing was fantastic. Not to mention she got all of the photos back to us in just 2 weeks which is unheard of. I will recommend her to all of my friends!! We can’t thank her enough!

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

After fifteen years in theatre and television production, Kate O’Donnell Diaz discovered a love for planning events but wanted to do so with a different approach from what other planners were taking. Kate desired to help couples cultivate weddings that truly reflected them and not just what bridal magazines, their future mother-in-law or high school frenemy said they just HAD to do. The literal and financial waste she witnessed going into weddings because of something “someone” said the couple HAD to have made Kate feel incredibly uncomfortable. Kate saw a need for a more eco-friendly approach to event planning.

We had a wonderful experience using Green Apple & Elevate Green for wedding planning, coordination and design. Communication was always timely, professional and extremely helpful. Our floral design and execution was beautifully done as well by the team and we could not have been happier. Kate and Jen's combined knowledge and experience helped to execute our wedding day perfectly. They both genuinely care and go above and beyond!

Chaz Cruz specializes in editorial portraiture and weddings. His style and humor brings out unique characteristics in his subjects which turn the photograph into something unique. Always looking at new ways to use found and created light, he enjoys producing new photographs that otherwise would not be encountered.

Awarded Best of Zola
Chaz is more than just a photographer--he helped my husband with his pocket square, he was attentive and grabbed my purse whenever I needed, he was calm when giving updates on delays, he was a visionary, a comfort, and a professional. His energy is warm, uplifting, and enthusiastic. His work is detail orientated and full of spirit. From our first interview with him to the days following the wedding, he was communicative and caring. I'll never forget the moment of seeing Chaz take photographs of the windy trees during our rehearsal dinner (right before it started pouring rain-the most epic adventure!!) and thinking, "I'm so glad Chaz is here." From the unexpected to the beautiful, I knew he would capture the authenticity of every moment and gosh did he deliver. His work speaks for itself in its aliveness but to experience first hand what it's like to be in front of his lens is truly something special. I felt completely at ease and I know our family and friends did too. What we've seen so far has moved us to tears--he captured our love. The Sunday after our wedding, our friend said to us, "you don't need your wedding photographer to be someone you want to be friends with, but it's pretty cool when it happens." It absolutely is.

Natali and her team of hairstylists focus on personalizing every style, from glamorous updos to romantic waves, specifically for you. Essentially, our goal is to leave you with an experience you can look back on and feel beautiful for a lifetime.

I had met Natali at a styled shoot a few months before my engagement pictures and loved the way she did my hair. The style lasted all day despite the heat, humidity, and me sweating like crazy! I knew I needed to hire her for my engagement shoot hair. Prior to the shoot, she had a coffee date where she discussed my expectations and her recommendations. She picked out my hair extensions, ordered them, and treated them prior to my shoot. My hair came out perfectly! It was a windy day on the boardwalk and my hair was getting blown around like crazy, yet looked amazing in every shot. I received so many compliments on my hair once my family and friends saw the pictures. More than anything, Natali makes you feel like you are an old friend that just happens to be having their hair done. She goes above and beyond in all aspects of her business and makes you feel like the upmost priority. I highly, highly recommend!!
