Kostromina Production was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication style was transparent, straightforward, and fast - which put us at ease immediately. Alena, our lead photographer, was instrumental in helping us create a detailed timeline for the day and even stepped in when our wedding coordinator was unavailable, ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her warm, outgoing personality and willingness to help with all aspects of planning, from budgeting to timeline creation, went above and beyond our expectations. The quality of Kostromina Production's work is undeniably high, and the final photos captured the beauty and emotion of our special day perfectly. We couldn't be happier with our decision to work with them and highly recommend their services to any couple planning their wedding.

Stephen was by far our favorite vendor to work with for our wedding. My sister made a suggestion to make sure to meet your photographer and vibe with them; they are going to be with you the WHOLE day! The second we started speaking with Steve we knew he was our guy. Getting to know us and our vision, asking all the right questions to understand our expectations and fully deliver. He’s knowledgeable, personable, and easy going; yet detail oriented, like teaching us how to pose for the best possible outcome. He even worked with us to customize our photo package to our needs (without us even having to ask!!) Our engagement shoot was the perfect warm up, our wedding day was absolutely seamless, and I believe that’s in large part due to Stephen’s calming presence and professionalism! 10/10 would recommend!

Tino Photography

  • Serves Lynbrook, 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.

Highly recommend Tino Photography services. On our special wedding day the word that kept coming to my head and the word I kept saying to my husband was PROFESSIONAL. Our team consisted of Tino, Ericka (his wife) and Adam the videographer. The three of them were so professional and helped lead the way to capture all the special moments. We met Tino at one of our venue's showcase and that was when we noticed his humbleness and thoughtfulness in his career. We were informed well and throughly as well as any and all questions were answered at our consultation. Leading up to our special day the company sent very helpful emails with tips and tricks to make our busy day run smoothly. They also provided a list of items to have ready for different close and detailed shots. Our pictures came out beautiful with the different lightings and angles that they chose to do. I can't wait to see our video since our pictures were AMAZING I know the video will be out of this world. Y Tino y Ericka hablan Español! Which was essential for our family members who didn't know English much! Thank you again for everything!!! P.S: Let them take control, they absolutely know what they are doing!

Andrew and I met in the most random place, hiking in the woods 100 miles from where either of us lived. We spoke on the phone for months and saw each other when we could, while we lived hours apart. 7 Years later we're married, raising a handsome pup, and running a business together. Since inception we have won Best of Westchester 2020 for weddings and numerous other industry awards. We take a modern approach to photography. We will light you and pose you in the most flattering natural ways and place you in front of the most beautiful backgrounds, while being professional, respectful and patient with everyone on your guest list!

I couldn't be more grateful that Rebecca & Andrew shot our special day. Not only are they wildly talented (see some photos below), but they also eased our wedding nerves with their incredibly friendly demeanor. They took time to get to know us, and helped us look good and natural during our photoshoot (not something I thought I was going to be very good at, but they proved me wrong). We loved working with Andrew & Rebecca so much so that we've actually worked with them a few more times after our wedding. They are the best, and if you choose them to photograph your big day you will not be disappointed.

I am a wedding photographer based in Providence, Rhode Island. My love for photography began over a decade ago and has been an integral part of my creative journey ever since. With a solid foundation in fashion photography, I bring a unique perspective to capturing weddings. Five years ago, I shot my first wedding, and it was an unforgettable experience. Being part of such a special day and bringing joy to my couples is incredibly important to me. I am passionate about capturing the most intimate and significant moments of your wedding day, ensuring that each photograph tells the unique story of your love.

Awarded Best of Zola
Liza photographed our small intimate wedding. From the outset, she set out to make sure the day went smoothly and that we would get the best pictures possible on our special day. We explained to her that our wedding would consist of a very short ceremony and a dinner. The rest of the night would be some games and hanging out, but no dancing. Our original vision was to have her photograph the ceremony, group shots, and the dinner and skip couple portraits. After consulting with her, she recommended skipping the dinner photos (nobody looks good while eating) and photographing the ceremony, group shots, and, since our package left us with a remaining hour, plan for couple portraits before our ceremony. It was great advice and we're happy to have the couple portraits! On the day of she was very approachable and made us feel comfortable during our private session. She was clear when directing and arranging folks for the group photos. All of the pictures turned out great! I would definitely recommend Liza for any wedding or special occasion!

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Hobbyist Studio, and I can’t speak highly enough about the professionalism and the quality of the work. From start to finish, Jordan was not only incredibly skilled but also attentive to every detail. He took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life in the most stunning way. The photos he captured were beyond my expectations—crisp, vibrant, and full of personality. Whether you’re looking for portraits, event photography, or something more creative, Hobbyist Studio delivers on every front. The entire experience was smooth and stress-free, and the final product was nothing short of perfection. I highly recommend Hobbyist Studio to anyone looking for top-notch photography services!

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.
