Shutter & Sound 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

I recently used Shutter & Sound for my wedding and they were fantastic! The team was super friendly and really skilled at capturing all the important moments without being intrusive. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors which made everything go smoothly. When we got our photos and videos back, we were blown away by the quality and how they managed to capture the feel of our special day perfectly. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch wedding photography and videography!

Steven Rosen Photography

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

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).

Emma is literally the kindest soul you’ll ever meet and my pictures came out so well! I’m plus size girls, so I felt very nervous about getting my pictures taken. She made me feel so confident and so loved in such a small amount of time. The photos are breathtaking and she is willing to do anything to get the perfect shot! You need her if you want the best photos!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess is the BEST of the best. Truly!! We had obsessed over her beautiful work from afar for months prior to reaching out, she has the most insane eye for composition and color. Before the wedding, she kept in touch with us actively and answered all our questions with ease! But the real treat was when we actually met. Our whole wedding day (and our engagement photos too!) felt like we were just hanging out with a great friend. When she arrived on our wedding day, we jumped right into easy joking and laughing like she had spent the whole day with us already! She has this crazy knack for eliciting genuine joy in photos just by being her warm, bubbly self. We never felt any insecurity while taking photos with her. She effortlessly coaches poses and captures the silly little candid moments that make the day unique! Jess was so prepared for the wedding day, and super knowledgeable about the little wedding details that you wouldn’t consider. She offered her help and support in a way that never felt intrusive. Jess got our group photos done in a jiffy and was SO EFFICIENT. She made us laugh the whole day through and contributed to the vibes of the day so well. You can tell from her work that Jess puts so much care into editing and composing each and every shot, we have spent so much time admiring all of our photos. We could not have asked for a more spectacularly captured time capsule of our day, we will treasure these photos forever. We would recommend Jess to absolutely anyone who asks (and even those who don’t.)

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress. The day was a whirlwind but Lindsay and Nathan made it so easy! I would hire them a million times over!

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 

5.0

  • 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 Waterloo Village's preferred photographer and it's incredibly easy to see why! We researched so many photographers and were having a hard time finding a) ones that fit our style and b) were available for a not astronomical price. When we looked up Jenny's info, we were immediately excited by how clean, bright, and airy her photos are. She definitely did not disappoint for our wedding either! Jenny was always communicative, helped us build our ideal shot list, and had a lot of good suggestions for how to make the most out of our time. Her experience with the venue was a huge boon here as we easily got all our traditional posed photos done with time to spare pre-ceremony, and she knew the perfect route to take us around the venue (which is huge and has so many photo opps). She and the day assistant Nicolette she brought on are also just super nice and easy to be around which is exactly what you want on your wedding day. They never once made us feel awkward or forced. She turned around our highlights within a week which was an incredible surprise to get on our honeymoon and I love every single picture already. We definitely recommend Jenny!

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.

She does this all with a big smile because she is so genuinely happy to be there for you, with you. Do the right thing and hire Allison!

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.

I knew right from then, I wanted her to be part of our wedding. She is so professional but also fun to work with.

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.

Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm so glad you're here! I was asked to talk about why I'm passionate about my work. Well for one, I love meeting new couples. It brings me a lot of joy creating images for couples who want to preserve timeless memories. It's not just about the images but really connecting with my couples to make sure to make sure they have an effortless experience with me.

I’m the owner of Koat Floral. I’ve been working with numerous photographers since I started my job as a florist and I can say that Kayla was the best photographer I’ve ever worked with. I won’t describe how amazing her work is, because you’ll notice it within a second right after you visit her website or Instagram page. I adore her clean, classic and elegant style. Her photography never fails to capture the brightest/happiest moment of the couple. If I get married one day, Kayla will be the first vendor I will book(only If her availability allows it). Besides her amazing work, I want to mention how amazing of a person she is. Kayla is such a bright and friendly person. She makes the whole mood very easy and comfortable. Mostly, couples are not comfortable when they pose in front of others and cameras. But, with Kayla, it was totally different. The whole photoshoot seemed so much fun. I can hear the couple’s laughter and jokes throughout the whole shooting. When you see Kayla’s photos, you can see the couples’ genuine smiles. Those are hard to fake. The other one is her punctuality. Kayla is never late! Always come onsite earlier and even she sent the sneak peek photos so much earlier than it was scheduled(can you believe it?)! Normally, it takes a long time for the other photographers to send the photos and often it could be even delayed. But Kayla, she was the only photographer who sent the photos so much earlier. She said she couldn't wait to see the photos; that’s why she edited the photos without sleeping. I was genuinely touched by her work ethic and her passion towards her work. I’m so lucky to know Kayla because I've learned a lot from and been inspired by her and it’s always good to be surrounded by nice people. I hope many of you could have the same experience as I’ve done with Kayla. I LOVE YOU, KAYLA!!!

Katrin will be our photographer for life!! I absolutely love her and her ability to capture those perfect, candid moments - it’s jaw dropping how truly talented she is. Every time I receive her finished work, I am speechless and teary eyed because they’re that beautiful! We first had the pleasure of working with her in October of 2019 for our engagement shoot. Pictures came out so beautiful! Fast forward to 2022, we wanted to have a family shoot with our 6month old baby girl and a puppy, we reached out to Katrin again. She did not disappoint. The pictures were beyond what I expected and I am so grateful for her work and dedication. The photos are a treasure. Moments go by so quickly in our lives, and as Dr. Suess once said, sometimes you don’t know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.. and Katrin really helped me preserve those beautiful moments with my husband, and now my family.

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.

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, 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.

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.

Words would never do them justice but i will try — I wouldn’t want anyone else to of been there photographing our special day! The first time we met Madison and Zac we knew they were the right fit, their style was everything we wanted - bright, not too photoshopped pictures, candid moments & photos that would take us back to our wonderful wedding day just by looking at them. Every time we look back on our gallery it’s literally like reliving that day! They did our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner + wedding day. Traveled all the way from FL to Pittsburgh, PA for us during a pandemic!!! They will forever be our go to photographers as long as they and we stay local! HIGHLY RECOMMEND The Greens!

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 so fun and easy to work with. I stressed about the look of my photos and interviewed over a dozen photographers before finding Denise. Her photos are true to your vision while staying with her art. I’ve only received samples and I cannot wait to see the rest. She was so communicative and reassuring. Could not recommend her more.

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

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.

James was fantastic. Really easy to work with and so helpful especially since my partner and I really didn't know what we wanted or should ask for. James was so nice, patient, and really guided us through the whole process and kept so calm on the wedding day, it made us feel calm. Im not a fan of kissing photos and I don't know what magic James has because he made me like a photo of me kissing my fiance. James is amazingly efficient with his time and made the whole wedding day photo shoot quick and we ended up having extra time.

In 2011, Jeremiah's wife volunteered him to shoot her sister's wedding and he genuinely enjoyed it. So, he began shooting weddings. In 2016, Cody graduated RIT with a Visual Arts degree and was looking for his next move. Luckily for all of us, Jeremiah talked Cody into relocating to the Hudson Valley to help him with his weddings. And here we are! The two of us get really excited to take really cool pictures.
