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.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Bethany and Raquel as my wedding photographers, and I cannot speak highly enough of their talent and professionalism. From the moment we met them, they put us at ease with their warm and friendly demeanor, and we knew we were in good hands. On our wedding day, they arrived early and worked tirelessly throughout the day to capture every special moment, from getting ready to the ceremony to the reception. They were unobtrusive and respectful, but also knew how to direct us and our guests to get the best shots. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away. The quality of their work is simply stunning, and they managed to capture so many beautiful and candid moments that we will treasure forever. The attention to detail and eye for composition are truly exceptional, and we have received so many compliments on our photos from friends and family. Overall, I cannot recommend Bethany and Raquel enough. They are true professionals who are passionate about their craft, and it shows in the amazing work they produce. If you're looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer team who will capture all the special moments of your big day, Raquel and Bethany are the perfect choice. Thank you both, for making our wedding day even more memorable!

Spend your day having fun, not posing for photos. My approach is to focus on capturing what's really happening, so you can focus on making memories and I can deliver effortless, natural looking photos.

I can’t recommend Jess enough! From the moment we booked her, she made everything so easy and relaxed. On the day of the wedding, she was a total pro—super attentive and really took the time to understand the vibe we were going for. She gave us just the right amount of direction to make sure we looked our best, but also let us be ourselves and enjoy the day. The photos came out absolutely stunning—she perfectly captured the emotions and all the little details we wanted. We couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only talented but also makes you feel totally comfortable, Jess is your person!

My name is Christopher Kayfield. I’m a professional photographer working in the NYC and Philadelphia areas. I focus on personality, humor, and sincerity. I deliver what is essentially a visual storybook, capturing the day’s narrative.

From our planning meeting to spending the big day with him, Christopher was amazing and such a pleasure to work with. His professionalism balanced with his ability to lighten a room of family, friends, and a bride with a minute-by-minute itinerary helped make our wedding day perfect! It always felt like his priority was making me and my husband happy & present throughout the day, while still capturing each special moment. So many of my family and friends loved having him at our wedding, and we loved how all the photos came out! I highly recommend Christopher to any couple!!

  • Serves Merrick, NY

I'm Manny, and my journey into photography started nearly 20 years ago when my brother helped me buy my first camera. Since then, I've been passionate about capturing life's most beautiful moments. One of the most meaningful days for me was my own wedding, with my brother standing proudly as my best man. His support and love shaped the way I see the world through my lens. Weddings are more than just a day for the couple—they are celebrations of love shared with the people who matter most. I believe in capturing not only the couple’s love but the emotions and connections with those closest to them.

Just want to brag about our photographer Osmany! Osmany worked with my wife and myself during our wedding photo shoot in Boulder, CO. He had multiple forms for us to fill out which helped him learn more about us and our story. Despite living in a different state, Osmany still had a way of ensuring our day was going to be captured to the fullest by setting up a virtual call to discuss important topics for our big day. Prior to our wedding ceremony, I had LASIK eye surgery and Osmany made sure to accommodate my needs into our photo shoot as I wasn’t allowed to be outdoors without sunglasses. Upon meeting Osmany at the wedding location, he INSTANTLY began helping in ALL aspects he could which helped our ceremony go 2x as smooth. He helped setup the arch, helped put the boutonnieres on our suits, helped with getting everyone in place, and so much more. Osmany had 2 different editing styles for the pictures at which you get to choose how your photos are edited and he returned our pictures fairly quick! We’ve had non stop feedback from friends and family of how he did an outstanding job. I give Osmany more than a 10/10, and you should book with him now! Thank you again Osmany, you’re amazing!

Hiring Siobhan was the best decision we made for our November 2024 Wedding! I cannot express enough how incredible her work is, literally every photo looks magazine ready. But she is also just such a fun, kid person and friend to have around on the biggest day of your life. She made sure the timely went super smoothly and was organized and ran the day along so well. Not to mention we had hundred of sneak peeks in a few days (insane!) I have not even seen our full gallery yet and already have way more pictures I am in love with than I can frame.

I just received my photos, and they were beautiful, and a wonderful souvenir for our special day. The photographers were professional, courteous, and a welcome addition to the ceremony. The photographers were really good at helping us to pose, which nobody in our wedding party had any idea of how to do. They came with multiple cameras, and everything needed to take and produce great pictures. We could not have been happier with then, would highly recommend.

I am a caffeine addict who never sleeps. I love a good thunderstorm and playing Candy Crush for the brain breaks. I adore all kinds of dogs, but I have a special love for German Shepherds. My all-time favorite thing is to sit by the fire with a glass of good cabernet or watch the ocean waves hit the beach. I love to garden and to build things (but I let my husband to finish all my projects LOL). I enjoy good food and will likely refer to a stand up comedy routine at least once in a conversation. I am also a football mom, lacrosse mom and basketball mom. Wife to a very understanding husband and emotional support person for my big puppies.

Her attention to detail is simply remarkable; every shot she takes feels like a work of art, meticulously composed and brimming with emotion.

Despite the inevitable chaos of a wedding day, she remained calm, cool, and collected, effortlessly putting us at ease and allowing us to fully enjoy the festivities. Her warm demeanor and infectious enthusiasm made the entire experience feel like a breeze, and her presence felt more like that of a dear friend rather than a hired vendor. Not only did Silvia capture all the big moments beautifully, but she also had a remarkable ability to capture the small, fleeting moments that we may have otherwise missed. Looking through our wedding album, we were transported back to that magical day, reliving every laugh, tear, and heartfelt exchange. In short, Silvia Gilbert Photography is a true gem in the world of wedding photography.

Dear Heart Film + Portraits 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Merrick, NY

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

My clients describe me as caring, passionate about my work, and trustworthy. I am honored to feel like an extended member of the family when I'm photographing weddings! When I’m not working with amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

We love Debbie! Debbie has been such a pleasure to work with through our wedding process. Since our first meeting with her, Debbie made us feel super comfortable and at home, feeling more like a family friend more than just our photographer. She has a great knack for getting the best shots and captures authentic feeling in her photos. She was so good at helping us relax in our photos (which was great for me as a notorious camera-shy guy). Debbie will be our first call for any professional photography in the future and we 110% recommend her!

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

Sam was super talented and professional and made our day special by keeping everything organized and timely to make sure it didn’t impact our schedule. His artistic taste helped create great photos and poses. Definitely booking him again for our next special event

Planning my wedding was definitely exciting, but had a lot of stressful moments because I can be a perfectionist and very indecisive. I think I was mostly nervous about booking a photographer because eventually people will forget the details maybe even the dress I chose, but the pictures are forever. So that was what I wanted to be absolutely perfect. Let me tell you… my prayers were answered when I found Rabab!!! I was immediately drawn by her absolutely stunning work, and I knew that was exactly what I wanted for my wedding. When I met Rabab in person, to discuss my needs for a photographer and get a quote, I was instantly put at ease when I met her. She has a way of making anyone feel very comfortable with her charismatic personality. She is also funny and made me feel like we were friends instantly! She was able to customize what I was looking for which was really nice because other photographers that I reached out before had a very rigid package that they offered. Rabab genuinely cares and always aims to please. When I first saw our engagement photos, I literally cried tears of joy. There’s only been a couple of other times in my life when that has happened. I just genuinely felt so overjoyed and completely ecstatic with Rabab‘s PERFECT work!!! I am not comfortable taking pictures because I don’t feel that I’m photogenic and again I am super picky and a perfectionist, but Rabab captured my very best features and angles, and made me look better than I ever have! I was instantly ecstatic to see what our wedding pictures would look like, and she did not disappoint me once. She is super professional, kind, genuine, and offered to help me the day of my wedding with little things that she didn’t have to do with her role as my photographer. looking back on my wedding day there are certain things I would do differently… but I am the most grateful for Rabab! I will forever be more than satisfied and overjoyed that I chose her to be our wedding photographer. Her stunning work speaks for itself!!! she is crazy talented, and absolutely brilliant! She is also a brilliant artist, it’s so inspiring to meet someone that talented in so many ways! She is someone that I consider an honor to know, and have worked with. Trust me… The best decision you can make is hiring Rabab. She is everything a wedding photographer should be and so much more, she exceeded my already perfect expectations!!

When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

We had the pleasure of working with Rick Lash for our engagement photoshoot, which we were lucky enough to win at a bridal show. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel completely at ease- even as two people who don’t really care for being in front of the camera. Rick was personable, funny, and incredibly talented. He focused on capturing candid moments that truly reflected our personalities rather than relying on typical engagement poses, which we really appreciated. His ability to make the session feel natural and enjoyable made the whole experience so much better than we could have imagined. Rick, thank you so much for this generous gift and for creating such a positive and memorable experience for us! We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who is creative, kind, and professional!

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!

After meeting her in person and seeing how sweet, calm, kind, organized she was, I knew there was no other choice for our wedding than Britt Lee wedding photography! Brittany played such an important role in our wedding right from the beginning. From helping us establish a timeline straight away that would allow her to capture hundreds of gorgeous natural light photos (we got married in December so daylight was sparse!), vendor recommendations, and constant communication and advice throughout the entire planning process (about anything and everything I asked her!), it’s like she was our personal wedding planner! And I cannot forget the Engagement session! We couldn’t get over how great the photos were (neither one of us ever had done anything like that before or had our picture taken professionally), and we had way more fun than we ever expected (yes, my husband even admitted he had a good time!) When the big day came, Brittany arrived (early none the less) and got right to to work. She kept us on track so we never had to stress about time or anything! I’ve been in a lot of weddings these past few years and I’ve never been more calm or had more fun “getting ready” than I was on the morning of my wedding, and Britt a huge played a part in that! She gives awesome direction and never makes you feel like you are “posing.” And her assistant (also Brittany!) did a great job keeping my husband and his rowdy group of groomsmen on time as well! We had such a blast at our wedding and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves knowing Britt was behind the camera capturing it all! Brittany delivered more than half of our gallery just two weeks after the wedding and the remaining photos 2 weeks after that. To receive our entire gallery in full under a month from our wedding (in the thick of the holiday season mind you) was absolutely mind blowing! But most importantly, the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The variety she captured not just of us but of all our guests throughout the day was amazing. I could go on and on about how thrilled we were with Britt Lee wedding photography. Bottom line, Britt is a GREAT person, someone I am so happy now to call a friend, incredibly professional, and super talented. Everything you could ever want from the person responsible for capturing one of the best days of your life to share and look back on together with each other and your family and friends for years and years to come!! Brittany/Britt Lee wedding photography is simply the BEST!!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with.

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!

Hedi Field Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Merrick, NY

My love for art and photography began 10 years ago. That's when I bought my first camera. It was love at first sight! My job is way more than just to create beautiful imagery. It is to help you have fun and feel like a rockstar in front of the camera!

I cannot recommend Hedi Field Photography enough and would give 100 stars if I could! If you are considering hiring her for your engagement, rehearsal dinner, or wedding please look no further. We used her for all three and could not be happier - not only did we end up with the most incredible photos that we will cherish forever, but we gained such beautiful, fun, memories working with her that will always hold a special place in our hearts. Hedi is extremely talented at capturing your love and bond with ease, and she has such a warm, kind, and infectious energy that makes you feel comfortable from your first picture with her. As a reference - we had worked with another photographer before that did not have this touch, and the photos came out very stoic and awkward as a result. Over 1000 photos from Hedi later and not one awkward one - each one was so full of life and beauty that it instantly transports you back to the moment and makes you smile! Hedi even made sure movement and life shined through the photos of the scenery and the little details that couples work so hard on, nothing went unnoticed! From our very first meeting, Hedi was incredibly organized, meticulously detail- oriented, and thoughtful. She took the time to understand our vision, ensuring that every moment we wanted to capture was prioritized, in every location, and in every outfit. She created timelines and shoot locations to coordinate with the lighting, time of day, and ease of transition to make the process less about logistics for us and more about fun! Hedi went above and beyond during our engagement session and rehearsal dinner, ensuring we got every shot (for the engagement this consisted of 4 outfits and 3 shooting locations later, and for the rehearsal it meant being extra flexible to the large family demands with a high guest count that all wanted pictures ). Hedi has a warm and approachable demeanor, but she knows how to maintain authority amongst what can be crazy family dynamics, keep on track, and expertly adhere to deadlines, ensuring everything ran smoothly, which was especially important and crucial on our wedding day. Beyond her incredible photography talent, Hedi helped take on extra responsibilities that eased the burden on our bridal party, family, and planner. Everyone at our event loved her personality, enthusiasm, and complimented her amazing work ethic and professionalism. Hedi did absolutely everything in her power to make our day as special as possible, and we are so honored and grateful to have had her as our photographer. After the wedding, Hedi delivered sneak peals on just a couple of days, and our full gallery within 2 months. She even went outside the scope of the contract and checked in with me on editing and preferences (she has the most incredible light and airy editing style that makes every pho look like the cover of Vogue) to make sure everything was perfect. We love you Hedi and cannot thank you or recommended you enough!

I reside in Jersey City, New Jersey, serving New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and beyond. I grew up surrounded by family photos. My parents had a professional photography business, Infinity Photography, back in the days of film. My friend asked me to do her senior portraits, so I started my photography business after my parent's business was closed for nearly 20 years. Fun fact, I chose "Grey" because I'm a nerd, and I love Jean Grey - she's my fave X-men. Also, my name is hard to spell, especially when you hear it. It's like "Leah" with a "Tuh."

Taliya gave us the absolute best wedding photography experience. She was extremely professional and quick to answer any questions at any point along the way. She made sure every detail was arranged before hand so there were 0 surprises along the way and day of. Not to mention that the photos turned out phenomenal. She was great at posing and framing to get the best shots and made sure that everything got pictured and captured from our special day. Would recommend 100%
