Growing up, I wanted to be a writer. I never imagined I would use photography to help tell stories. You and your partner are already writing the story of your love. I have the honor to help tell that story through photography. We are here to celebrate the story of who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming in every shape, size, skin complexion, religion, ability, and orientation.

Awarded Best of Zola
We used T Z Wilson Photography for our engagement photos and our full wedding day and he did not disappoint! Ty communicated with us promptly when asking questions or talking about the process of how each day would go. He is very skilled in making a wedding day run smoothly with photos and creating a timeline. He made us feel comfortable and in return created some amazing photos capturing our personalities and relationship perfectly. Unlike some photographers that do the same things over and over or using the same types of scenes he will bring you to new places, beautiful spots and create "poses" that fit you as a couple and the style of your wedding day. If you're the adventurous type he is your guy too! We snuck of to beautiful fields and landscapes near sunset and they are some of my most favorite photos. The results and finished photos were nothing short of a dream and I am so thankful we had him for our wedding day!

Sam Hurd Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

My style is distinct, a result of both my unrelenting commitment to my craft and complete trust from clients who commission me. You’re not going to read about any awards, badges, or “top 10 lists” because what matters is you’re in love with the work that you see and are ready to trust me entirely to do what I do. This trust drives me to find the perfect balance between creative experimentation and honest documentation.

All I knew was that I was marrying my fiancé and that Sam was going to be our photographer. I didn’t care about anything else except that he was our photographer. The engagement session was so much fun! The day of the wedding was unbelievable. He’s so calm and professional. He answered all of my questions throughout the process quickly without getting frustrated. Lastly, his work is is just AMAZING! Highly recommend if you love bright colorful unique photos.

Hello, I'm Tonya. I am a documentary wedding, boudoir & lifestyle photographer with an editorial approach based in Fairfield County, Connecticut. At the heart of my work, you will find authentic connection & composition, some of the most important things to me as an artist. I build on that with honest storytelling with a more editorial approach. My inspiration lies in authentic human connection & emotions, pockets of light, vintage film, movement, honest interactions, vibrant colors found in nature, fog after a rainfall. Finding beauty in the most ordinary things.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tonya's work is unbelievable. The fog that rolled in for our ceremony made it hard to see just a few feet in front of us, but her pictures came out stunning. She's a great communicator, detail-oriented and really made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. She sent us a day-of timeline and helped plan out what photos we would like in advance. We got back a preview album sent to us like 2 days after our wedding! We also did an engagement shoot with her before our wedding, which really made us excited for our big day.

Hector Rivera photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

As a professional photographer for the past several years, I have worked with clients in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Philadelphia, North New Jersey, and elsewhere. Despite the availability of smartphones and digital cameras, a professional photographer remains essential for capturing the emotion and true essence of an important event. I am ready to help you immortalize your wedding.

Choosing the right photographer for our destination wedding was a crucial decision, and we truly struck gold with Hector. From our first interaction, it was clear that we were in the hands of a professional who not only excels at his craft but genuinely cares about capturing the essence of his clients' most special moments. Hector made the whole process feel seamless, even from miles away. He was incredibly flexible and open to our ideas and visions, making sure that every detail was discussed and planned to perfection. His communication was exemplary throughout, providing us with the reassurance needed when planning such an important event from afar. Upon meeting him at our wedding location, his warm and personable approach immediately put us at ease. We hired him to a week long wedding at Punta Cana and he made everyday so special. Hector has the unique ability to blend into the background, capturing candid moments one might typically miss, yet also possesses the knack for organizing group shots effortlessly, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Our wedding Party and all our guest loved him and how he interacts with everyone just shows how he cares. His work ethic is something out of this world. Hector went above and beyond, from arriving at the venue early to scout the best photo spots, to his patience and creativity with every shot. The photos were stunning—a perfect blend of natural light, picturesque backgrounds, and authentic expressions. What truly set Hector apart was his ability to make us feel completely comfortable throughout our big day. His guidance on poses and scenes was invaluable, and his upbeat personality made us feel like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to be an incredible photographer. When we received our wedding photos, we were absolutely blown away. Each image told a story, capturing the spirit and joy of our day. The colors, angles, and moments he chose to capture were nothing short of magical. It's clear that Hector doesn’t just take photos; he creates art and captures feelings. We couldn't be more grateful to have had Hector as part of our wedding journey. His professionalism, talent, and kind-hearted nature made our experience unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking to capture the essence of their special day in the most beautiful and heartfelt way possible. We are so grateful for the exceptional work he provided us. I promise you that you will be blown away. Look no further and hire Hector for your next event or wedding whether local or destination wedding you will truly love his work

I'm here to serve + empower all the introverted, awkward in-front-of-the-lens, adventure(ish) couples who want to have an authentic, non-traditional wedding experience across upstate and northern New York.

On the wedding day itself, Donna rolled with the punches when our schedule got a bit delayed but still managed to capture all the moments beautifully. Most importantly, the quality of the photos is truly amazing. Donna managed to take artistic shots that perfectly encapsulated the style and emotion of our wedding.

Stay Gold Tyler

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Celebrating the wholeness of life and the perfection of love I truly ask you to "stay gold"! My beautiful clients are couples of all genders, orientation, and identities who have found each other and want this moment in time captured in heirloom quality. We leave the churches and the hotels and venture into wild world, up the mountains, to the islands, into the forests, and out into the deserts. Stay Gold Tyler delivers stunning portraits, family heirloom formals, and b-roll candids that will have you laughing and "aww"ing for a lifetime. Tyler splits time between South Florida, New York City, and Seattle.

My husband and I got married on a hiking trail near Seattle in 2015. We lived in Nashville, and had never even been to Seattle, yet we had a trip planned there and decided to elope. I found Tyler's photography website online, and immediately could tell his style was exactly what I was looking for. The entire time leading up to our trip, Tyler's communication was excellent and he went above and beyond to make sure our elopement went exactly like we wanted it to. He even let me ride with him to our elopement spot, as my soon-to-be husband rode with our officiant (we wanted to do a first look, so I didn't want to ride in the same vehicle). We didn't have a specific plan for that day, but Tyler facilitated it so effortlessly -- as if it had been planned all along. He suggested a first look at the base of the hiking trail, and after that we hiked together until we found a good clearing in the woods for the little ceremony. When that was over, we hiked the rest of the way to the top, where we took a few more photos and signed our wedding license. Tyler even surprised us with a bottle of champagne to celebrate! Tyler, his assistant, and our officiant were the only ones there besides my husband and I, and we enjoyed the day together as if we had been friends all along. Now that I've made it clear how highly I think of Tyler's communication, suggestions, and helpfulness, I'll add that his photography is incredible. I wasn't sure how the pictures would turn out, as our elopement day was overcast and seemed to be on the brink of rain-- but as soon as I saw them for the first time, I was blown away. In the years following, several people have told me our wedding photos are the best they have ever seen. Tyler took a beautiful location, and truly did it justice with his camera- a feat not every photographer can achieve. (And to think half of the photos were taken WHILE he was hiking alongside with us!) If you want a personable, professional, and helpful photographer who can deliver the photographs you'll cherish for the rest of your life, look no further. Tyler is your guy!!

Pierce photography was great to work with. We had two shooters and added the photobooth option. During the photos Jason was a natural photographer not forcing the poses and allowing for our personalities to come out. Throughout the ceremony you didnt even know he was there but yet he caught so many moments that otherwise we would have missed. Still to this day we look at our album and are amazed at the quality of work we got staying in our budget. Wouldn't change anything and would definitely use Pierce photography in the future for more events.

When I'm not shooting weddings, I’m a total beach bum. This might sound like an oxymoron coming from a native Montrealer, but I adore the ocean (and very much dislike winter). I swim and surf whenever possible, and I get out to the Rockaways as often as I can. I do a ton of beach photography, including a series about couples at the beach, and I’ve been published a few times, including here and here. If you see me at the beach, come say hi, and let’s have a frozen drink together.

Erica was absolutely the best, we chose her because we liked her style and that her shots looked very natural. As someone who is very uncomfortable in front of the camera, this was important to me, and on the day I felt very relaxed and was able to truly enjoy the moments with my partner while she captured them. She took the time to meet with us months before the wedding to make sure we were comfortable the day of, and captured our day beautifully (while also helping make sure we were organized and didn’t veer too far off schedule!). I highly highly recommend her!

I found my passion for art while growing up surrounded by horses in a small town in Brazil. The shapes, textures, and colors of the horses always have been inspiring to me. I’ve always wanted to recreate them, but was never really able to. Honestly, my painting/drawing skills were and still are terrible, and that’s when photography came up in my life. I would create imaginary cameras out of my toys and would ‘photograph’ the horses and my neighbors. Photographing people became my passion and then evolved into my work in editorial and wedding photography.

I can't post enough praise about Gui from 98 Wedding Co, and I'm SHOCKED there's not more reviews here. We recently had our engagement shoot with him and let me tell you-- we were blown away by the photos. We were looking for an editorial style that screamed NYC, and Gui captured it perfectly. All my family and friends were amazed at the shots and could not stop raving about how well he captured us and our vision. It looks like a spread out of Vogue! My fiance and I are also pretty awkward in front of the camera, and Gui's calm and relaxed presence was a breath of fresh air. He knew all the right spots and best places to get the perfect lighting and framing, a true expert in his craft! I can't wait to see how perfectly he captures our wedding and will be sure to update this review when the photos are inevitably stunning as well. Thank you Gui!!!

I know it is the most incredible experience having everyone you love together in one place to celebrate you. Aside from the births of my babies, my wedding was the best day ever. But being a mom has made me appreciate photography the most — I know how fleeting time is and how important it is to have printed memories of those you love dearly. Tomorrow isn’t promised and I want to document you with your favorite people as they are today.

I can't say enough good things about Cassidy. I looked through over 100 photographer websites and portfolios and was drawn to Cassidy's photography immediately. I could tell that her shots were thoughtful and full of intention and her editing style was vivid and moody yet still very light which I really liked. I showed my partner my top picks and he was also immediately drawn to Cassidy's photos, too, so even though she was a little out of our price range, we thought she would be worth it and she absolutely was! She was flexible with our budget, which we really appreciated. Cassidy was communicative, reliable and clearly experienced. She majored in photography in college which was a big plus for us. She kept us on schedule, worked really well with our videographer and took really beautiful pictures of our wedding. During the wedding, I hardly noticed she was there, which made for some really sweet, candid photos. She captured my husband and I stealing glances and all the idiosyncrasies of our guests. She also got really great detail shots of the decor and our venue. I love looking through our gallery and can't wait to hang up some of our wedding photos. Overall, Cassidy was an absolute gem to work with and is honestly just a really awesome human being. My husband and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

I am the one behind the camera. The one guiding you every step of the way, and giving you direction, but mostly I’m there to capture your love and to tell your story. Essentially it’s all about you… your style, your vision. It’s the in-betweens, the messy, the real, the bursts of laughter, the tears… that’s the stuff that I have a true love for. Photography is genuinely my passion. My goal is to tell your love story and get to know you and document your special day.

West and Spring Photography were the perfect choice for our wedding photography. They were very responsive and flexible throughout the planning process, and their communication was excellent. The quality of their work is simply beautiful - their photographs captured the natural, candid moments of our special day in such a lovely way. Mary, our lead photographer, was amazing to work with. Despite us having to reschedule our wedding multiple times, she made every date work seamlessly. We received a few sneak peek photos the day after our wedding, and the full gallery came just a few short weeks later. We are thrilled with the results and would highly recommend West and Spring Photography to any couple in need of a talented wedding photographer.

I’m Sabrina, an Austrian-South African photographer living in New York City. I shoot weddings, elopements and engagements — and as an avid traveler, I absolutely love shooting destinations. Raised between South Africa, Austria and Luxembourg, I spent long periods of my youth traveling the world with my mother. I grew up surrounded by the arts and chose photography as my primary creative outlet. I practice photography professionally , as well as continue to document the many people and places from my travels. I love to capture moments and tell stories in a captivating , creative and organic way.

We hired Sabrina to capture our wedding day, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Sabrina was professional, friendly, and attentive to every detail. She worked closely with us to understand our vision and preferences, and went above and beyond to make sure that we were happy with the final photos. On the day of the wedding, Sabrina arrived early and captured every moment, from my bridesmaids and I getting ready, to the ceremony & party, & everything in between. The candid photos are some of my absolute favorites! She has a keen eye for framing and lighting, and her photos truly captured the joy and romance of the day. Most importantly - she made us (especially my camera shy husband) feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera, and the final photos were absolutely beautiful. Overall, I would highly recommend Sabrina to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer. Her passion for her work shines through in every photo she takes. Thank you, Sabrina, for capturing our memories so beautifully!

I'm an empathetic person. I'm sensitive and in tune with the more spiritual side of life. I love travel and photography. I am a mother and a lover of fashion and nature and all things beauty. Coffee is basically my favorite and what makes me hop out of bed (even on Monday morning). I have a lot of energy and I love fitness and eating healthy. I love my girlfriends and have deep relationships but only with a handful of women who I trust. Loyalty is important to me and I believe in doing all things with love.

You will not be disappointed! We worked with Denise for both our engagement and wedding photos and they were nothing short of gorgeous. Denise is a consummate professional and her expertise was evident throughout the entire shoot. Prior to our wedding she asked us a bunch of questions to set expectations and created a game-plan for our big day. On our wedding day Denise and Lexi (the second shooter) were able to get all the right shots while keeping everyone on schedule and in good spirits! Lexi and Denise divided and conquered, Lexi working with the groom's party and Denise the brides'. I can't recommend this duo more highly! The 'sneak peek' batch of photos was delivered very quickly and Denise was highly communicative throughout the entire process. Photography is the part of the wedding that will last far beyond the actual wedding day and Denise was worth every penny!

I’m guilty of romantizing my life, from my morning coffee in the kitchen to the walk to the fancy grocery store that’s out of the way. It's how I like to look at life. I take notice and enjoy the small mundane things. It's the same philosophy I apply to photography. It lets me capture and romantize all the moments that go unnoticed but worth remembering.

Awarded Best of Zola
Yvonne is incredible! She made both of us feel so comfortable and was down for whatever idea we wanted to try. The photos were authentic and absolutely perfect. Getting them back was like reliving the night all over again - every non-scripted, warm, moment of love. Communication was easy, she got our photos (TONs) back so quickly - can't recommend her enough if your style matches.

I am a photographer and storyteller. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by stories and traditions. I am passionate about documenting real human connections and I love learning all the meanings behind details at weddings and celebrations. When I’m not photographing, I can be found spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and craving tacos. I love meeting new people, making new friends, and connecting with my clients. I can’t wait to get to know you, so let’s talk!

I fell in love with Beth's portfolio immediately after browsing through 30+ photographer's websites. Her style is very natural, romantic, and full of attention to details. She's always communicative throughout the process. On our wedding day she really made us feel at ease and our photos are so genuine and fun! We planned a fun entrance that didn't completely go according to plan, but Beth stayed calm and helped make it happen. Her quick turn-around also way exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much Beth!

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.

Tatiana came highly recommended, and for good reason. We had her do 3 separate shoots for us - engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She is very responsive, easy to work with, and of course, takes beyond beautiful photos. She made our photoshoot feel easy, the pictures came out natural looking, and captured the emotion and energy we had hoped for. If you're looking for a photographer, Tatiana Kiseleva is as good as they come.

As a candid wedding photographer, my work is created with the purpose of preserving your love story with intention, honesty, and real connection. Getting to know you independently and as a couple through my questionnaires helps me to capture images in a way that is authentic to your unique love story. Every person is unique and your love reflects that. At your wedding you'll find me getting vulnerable with your closest peeps, using my ninja skills to quietly get the shot, and definitely singing along to any song I know on the dance floor. When I'm not shooting, you can find me snuggled up in bed watching my (current) favorite Netflix show!

Hi! My name is Herti. I’m originally from Albania where I first started doing photography and then moved to NY, that was about 5 years ago. It’s an incredible feeling being the one person your couple trusts with capturing moments of their life. That’s why I put a lot of thought in every wedding I shoot. I sit down with the couple before the wedding, talk to them and get to know them. So when the day of the wedding comes they know they have nothing to worry about regarding photography. I’m a strong believer on telling a story through photography and give everyone who looks at your pictures a glimpse of your love.

Thank you a lot Herti for capturing our elopement so beautifully and also agreeing to keep it a secret and not post anything until we told everyone else.

Kansas girl plopped firmly in the middle of Brooklyn—and loving every minute of it. When I’m not awkwardly dancing at your wedding reception I can be found exploring NYC with a large coffee in hand, hosting dinner parties for my friends, oogling puppies on the street (please bring your dogs along to our sessions…), or feeding my popcorn addiction at the movies. I feel damn lucky to have a job where I get to hang with the coolest people on such an amazing day. Let's have some fun and make some awesome memories together!

In my mind, there is no other choice for a wedding photographer, but Sarah. Her warmth, charisma, humor, and artistry is what makes her uniquely top notch in this industry. Sarah put my husband and I at ease, there were so many moments where I forgot she was there (haha!). She knows how to corral family members to knock out formal photos and then captures the intimate moments so beautifully and subtly. She seemed to work so effortlessly and constantly with so much pleasure. You never feel rushed or behind, it's like she knows the rhythm of the day without controlling it herself. She is the best person to have at your side to document your special day. I cannot recommend her enough.
