Steven Rosen Photography

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.

Steven photographed our wedding and prepared photos and an album for us. His work throughout was excellent, from input on a schedule for photos during the event, to posing the family and guests, suggesting positive changes to some steps of the ceremony, capturing great moments, keeping the day on track, and working with us on the album. His layout and editing for the album were terrific, very professional, attentive to themes and telling the story through images, and with a great eye for combinations. We recommend Steven without hesitation for your special days!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Mary was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. Her communication style is easy, clear, and responsive throughout the entire process. The quality of her work and value was exceptional - she captured all the important details in a comfortable and natural way that made us feel at ease. Additionally, Mary was incredibly responsive and organized, answering every question. She even visited our wedding venue with us in advance to scout out the best spots for photos making the day of that much smoother. We are thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend Mary more highly. She truly made our wedding day so special and we couldn’t imagine the day without her there capturing all the special moments.

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

Hi there! I’m Emma CotéEwers, your East Coast & Destination Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer! My work is a seamless blend of traditional heirloom portraiture, lively artistic shots, and a little ​photojournalism if the day calls for it. With a true-to-color, film-inspired approach, I strive to craft visuals that capture love, ​laughter, and those beautifully authentic moments that weave together the story of your ​wedding! I feel like these should include fun ​facts? Patsy Cline’s Walkin’ After Midnight is my favorite song and I am currently on my 8th ​nostalgic binge of Gilmore Girls (which might just be fueling my banter lately).

We had the pleasure of working with Emma for our engagement photos, my bridal portraits, bridal shower and our rehearsal dinner. We couldn't be happier with the results. From the very beginning, Emma was incredibly professional, attentive, and truly passionate about capturing the essence of our love story. For our engagement session, she made us feel completely at ease and guided us with such a gentle touch, making the experience fun and natural. The photos turned out absolutely stunning, capturing the joy, excitement, and deep connection we share. When it came time for my bridal portraits, Emma exceeded all expectations. She understood how important these photos were to me, especially since I was wearing my late grandmother’s ring, which holds immense sentimental value. Emma managed to capture not only the beauty of the dress and the setting but also the emotions and memories tied to this moment. She has an incredible eye for detail and lighting, and the photos are a perfect blend of candid and posed shots that reflect our personalities and relationship beautifully. The final images are more than just pictures; they are timeless keepsakes that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in telling your story through photos, look no further than Emma. We can't recommend her enough! Thank you, Emma, for capturing these special moments that we'll treasure for a lifetime!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

I’ve spent years refining an approach that allows me to sincerely honor the moment — knowing when to step in and adjust a subject or environment, and sensing when to stand back and allow a moment to just be. With me, your photographs will be an intentional representation of this time of your life — imagery that will make you feel like it was just yesterday, and yet, feel forever untouched by time. Truly, the honor is all mine. Thank you for considering me to document this luxuriously intimate wedding event.

Awarded Best of Zola
I can not recommend April and Mike enough!! From the moment I saw their pictures on Instagram from another wedding, I knew I needed to have them for my own wedding. Since the day I reached out them, they've done nothing but exceeded all of my expectations. April and Mike make a special effort to really get to know us as a couple which made all of our photos even more personal. For our engagement shoot, they traveled 2+ hours to the Jersey Shore so that we could take our pictures in a place that is special to us. When our shoot was cut just a tiny bit short because of the weather, April offered us a secondary shoot to make up for lost time. I also did a boudoir shoot with April and absolutely loved her style of the photos. April went above and beyond during my entire wedding planning process to help with timelines, answer any questions I have and even provide outfit recommendations for our various shoots. The amount of compliments I've gotten on my engagement and wedding photos are unreal! April & Mike started as just our wedding photographers and ended as our friends. If you're reading this because you're thinking about hiring April & Mike....DO IT.

Jenny Flora Photography

  • Fine art style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny is an absolute gem! We are so happy we found her to photograph our modern beach wedding at The Wave in Long Branch, NJ. Jenny has an amazing eye and took advantage of all the beautiful aspects of the venue allowing for a great variety of photos. And a good mix of candid and posed shots. It was so apparent that takes such pride in her work and loves the art, making us feel so comfortable and calm the entire time. Both my husband and I are camera shy but Jenny gave us clear direction and took into consideration everything we were and weren’t looking for. Jenny and Camilla were also extremely flexible and supportive the entire day. We can’t thank them enough for their enthusiasm and dedication. It’s so apparent in their work. Thank you, Chris & Danielle

I’m the self-declared winner of “most likely to hear someone’s life story in unexpected places.” Whether it’s an antique shop owner telling me about her and her late husband’s favorite meal from their Italian vacation 40 years ago, or a fellow TJ Maxx customer recalling how she met her best friend of 17 years in a shared hospital room, I listen. And not a polite listen, but an I really give a shit listen. At the core of my being, I’m story obsessed. It’s why I was an English major in college and why I fell in love with photography. If there is a story to be heard, I will listen. And if there's a story to be told, I'll tell it.

Lindsay’s energy and charisma made the whole experience so much fun—whether she had us running through vineyards or sharing a quiet glance, she made every moment feel authentic and effortless. She truly captured the essence of who we are, and the photos are a perfect reflection of our personalities and the joy of the day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

Allen Tsai

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

My first experience with Allen Tsai was when he photographed my sister's wedding. My sister herself, is a photographer. The second time I heard his name was at my best friend's wedding. HER photographer had also used Allen Tsai for her wedding. I decided to take some time and followed Allen's presence on social media and the internet. Turns out he's VERY decorated and has been featured a lot in publications. His clients are worldwide, and all the photographers I respect want HIM for the THEIR weddings. If he's the professional that all the other professionals use, I knew I was never going to entertain any other photographer. The second I got engaged, I told my wedding planner we had to secure Allen. And that's what we did. THANK GOD because it takes a special photographer to handle everything and everyone that was, My Wedding. I got married in Downtown Dallas and my wedding had very "city" vibes. I didn't want to have every "conventional" wedding party shot, and so I had tasked Allen with the burden of making my wedding photos look like "something off the cover of Vanity Fair." Not typically his route for weddings, and also confined to a VERY tight timeline, somehow, Allen was able to execute my vision. More than that, every shot from the reception is PERFECT. The lighting was consistent in every shot (and let me tell you, the lights from the stage and darkness of the room was all over the place that night). He captured beautiful portraits, but also grabbed very intimate moments between myself and my husband, our friends, and our family - shots of moments that we didn't know anyone was watching. The photos were edited and turned in record time (amazing, considering he shoots digitally AND in film) and the gallery of proofs was enormous. This was so important because I've heard HORROR stories from friends whose galleries were pitifully small since the photographer didn't have very good content to return. The gallery is easy to use and navigate, and he even offers printing services (huge if your local pharmacy does a bad job with prints). Here is my biggest jaw-drop of the experience: Allen worked alone. My wedding had around 225 guests and you would have thought (based on the photos) that he had at least two assistants. Finally, Allen is also just awesome to work with. He's kind and dedicated to his craft, and he is so respectful and polite. He rocked my wedding and I'm so glad we hired him.

Studio D NYC was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, their communication was professional, detailed, and reassuring - hallmarks of Diana’s experience. Diana was the MVP of our big day, ensuring every shot was of the highest quality, keeping the bride calm, and seemingly being in multiple places at once. Her artistic eye is truly unmatched, capturing the editorial-worthy moments that really brought the WOW! Thanks to Diana’s talent, we’ll be able to relive our special day for years to come. We are thrilled with the value and talent Studio D NYC brought to our wedding, and cannot recommend them highly enough.

Hi! My name is Jeremy and I'm THRILLED you're here. I am passionate about authentic story telling and believe that more than a just one thousand words, a picture evokes memories, comforts, heals and brings life & joy to people.

We were a little nervous about our wedding and engagement photos before meeting with Jeremy. We are a mixed couple with very different skin tones and wanted to make sure we both looked our best in the pictures. After the first meeting with Jeremy we immediately felt better and became excited about the pictures. Our engagement session was a ton of fun (even though we had freezing rain instead of the expected snow) and he was organized, ready to go and flexible the day of the wedding. He also wasn't obtrusive or in anyone's way (I've seen this at other weddings), but still managed to get all of the important shots plus so many more throughout the day. As for the actual pictures, Jeremy FAR exceeded our expectations. The pictures are BEAUTIFUL and there are so many amazing ones to choose from when printing our wedding album and pictures to hang in our home. Neither of us were washed out and we both seemed to be glowing (not sure how he worked that magic). We are so incredibly happy that we went with Jeremy Lee Photography for our engagement and wedding pictures and would choose him again if we were to plan our wedding a second time.

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.

Can't recommend Sam enough. Not only is his work some of the best I've seen and is well known around the world, but he is also just super chill to work with. He lets videographers do their thing and is very easy going with the couples and vendors he works with.

I’m honored that you would consider me to capture the essence of your story and your love. For me, this work is about so much more than a single day. From planning the perfect engagement session to designing an elegant heirloom album that will endure for decades, I will walk alongside you for every step of this once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Asher was the photographer for our wedding just a month ago. I am so happy I chose her! We received superb service, professionalism, and most importantly the highest quality photos I could have asked for. Asher’s photos have a very natural quality which was so important to me. And she even made it a painless experience for my husband who isn’t a fan of being photographed! My bridal party and family loved her. As an extremely selective bride with very specific taste- I couldn’t have been more satisfied. I highly recommend!

I’ve dedicated years to learning the ins and outs of wedding formalities, but it’s the oft-forgotten bits of emotion that make the day feel so exceedingly special, not the shot list. With a day full of nothing but emotion, it’s easy for some moments to slip past unnoticed, but not by me. I’ll be there to make sure the heart of your day makes its way back to you — so you can remember what really mattered on your wedding day.

Zach and Madison were so fun to work with! They took my engagement photos, bridal portraits, and wedding photos. The photos could not have turned out better, and the delivery of each album was super quick. Also, the canvas and album that were included in our package were extremely high quality! We will most definitely be using the Greens for all of our future photography needs.

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.

Denise was beyond amazing! From the first call to the day off, she is extremely detail-oriented and quick to respond should you have any questions. The day of, we had the pleasure of Simon helping her with photos and he was an artist. They both made all of us very comfortable and confident throughout the whole day. We were able to obtain all the pictures we planned on during the wedding and the sneak preview of photos came within days after the wedding! I cannot wait to see the full album or thank her and her team for an amazing day.

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!

We worked with Beth as our wedding photographer and I 100% would recommend her services! Since we had a very small wedding, we opted to do a post-wedding shoot rather than engagement shoot. This meant that we met Beth for the first time during our actual wedding day-- some would probably be nervous about this, but we got to know each other right away and were so comfortable working with her. She was so professional and really scoped out the sights all over our beautiful venue so that we were able to take so many different pictures in a variety of settings. For our post-wedding shoot, we did pictures at Chick Fila & the beach, and even though I was nervous about going inside the Chick Fila to take pictures, Beth was super professional and all business and had no qualms about taking pictures in busy places. We also got all of our pictures in only a few weeks and the quality is superb! Overall, we got a fantastic value for a very reasonable price and I am so glad we booked Beth as our wedding photographer!

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.

Hi! Courtney here (that's me on the left!). Shutter and Sound is the brainchild of renowned wedding videographer Ryan Geldermann. Ryan began his wedding videography career in 2010 in Los Angeles and quickly became recognized as one of the top videographers in the U.S.. After relocating to DC and still receiving countless inquiries from all corners of the country, Ryan decided to recruit and train a few talented friends so he could continue offering the quality wedding videography he’s known for in SoCal and eventually over 10 cities. Shutter and Sound is a very small group of filmmakers dedicated to turning your big day into a work of art.

My husband and I loved working with Shutter and Sound for our wedding!! They went above and beyond when capturing our venue and all the special moments throughout our wedding day. The videographers were very personable and easy to work with, and were confident in their vision. All of the deliverables came even sooner than we were expecting which was a nice surprise, and I've watched our videos sooo many times since we got them back. Truly a great experience! I'd recommend Shutter and Sound to anyone looking for quality footage that really tells a story. :)

Meet Caterina, a wedding photographer with a passion for fine art and analog processes. Born and raised in the heart of New York City, Caterina developed an eye for detail and a love of capturing meaningful moments from a young age after discovering a forgotten 35mm camera in her parent's basement. From intimate elopements to grand ballroom celebrations, Caterina has photographed events of all sizes and styles. She approaches each wedding with a fresh perspective, always striving to capture the emotions, connections, and details that make each couple's day truly unique.

Cate photographed our small wedding ceremony in 2021 and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She captured both the physical beauty of the day, as well as the love and joy of our families joining together. Cate confidently guided us through a few group shots, but mostly took candid pics of special moments with our family and friends. Her turnaround time with the photos was quick and her pricing was more than fair. I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants beautiful, intimate photos taken with great care and attention to detail.

Hi! I'm Maria! I am a New York based fine-art wedding photographer that longs to capture real and authentic love anywhere and everywhere. I say Fine Art because I actually have a fine arts degree in photography. I am a happy wife who mar­ried her high-school sweetheart, an art book hoarder and slightly dog obsessed. I have loved photographing for as long as I can remember.

Maria is an absolute superstar behind the camera! We are blown away by our wedding day previews and engagement session photos. She captured our day perfectly and made us look so cool!! I am most grateful for her calm yet confident demeanor in the less than fun/uncomfortable moments that naturally come with weddings. Going into our engagement session, my husband and I had never been photographed together before, so we were definitely giving awkward couple energy. Maria took her time to talk to us on a personal level until we were relaxed enough to frolic around for our session. Come wedding day, we felt like professionals and being natural behind the camera was easy. She gave us energy when we were lacking it and kept things moving when we needed the push. My husband and I have very sticky family dynamics which gave me a lot of anxiety when it came to photos. But Maria was completely understanding and made that part of the day go off without a hitch. We can't thank Maria enough for all that she did for us over this past year or so. Her work speaks for itself - everything she shoots is absolutely gorgeous. The added benefit to all of the beautiful photos is the amazing, down-to-earth person you get to work with. We highly recommend Maria. You cannot go wrong with using her for your big day!

I've been photographing weddings since 2010 and it's something that I feel incredibly fortunate to do. It really is remarkable to be able to combine my love for photography and storytelling in capturing the stories of so many wonderful couples in a genuine and authentic manner over the past 10 years. I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my wife, our daughter and our two cats. When I'm not photographing weddings you can find me exploring the streets of New York City with my camera, enjoying a good cup of coffee, visiting art galleries, and spending time outdoors.

Could not recommend James MORE to photograph your wedding. Not only is he an incredibly skilled photographer, he is kind and friendly and fantastic to work with! We have already recommended him to family and friends getting married in the coming years. I can’t wait to see the full album of our photos, because so far they are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen. You won’t regret working with James!

My mission as your wedding photographer is to capture the fleeting moments in life, celebrate the value of marriage, and create luxurious images that will last a lifetime. Most weekends you'll find me capturing a wedding day, proposal, or special event for joyful couples in love. I believe my photography and style reflect who I am: romantic & light-hearted.

Karina went beyond my expectations for our wedding! She is incredibly attentive to detail and hardworking and made my husband and I feel so comfortable. She worked hard to get every possible shot we could’ve wanted. We are so impressed with the photos we’ve seen so far and cannot wait to see the entire gallery. We will be able to look back fondly on these photos as they have captured our day and our love so well. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you Karina!
