Kel C Photography LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey was truly the best person to capture our wedding day, not just because of her amazing photography skills but also because of her effervescent and playful energy that truly made our day so fun. We were able to do our engagement shoot with Kelsey at our wedding venue, and she made us feel so comfortable even though neither my husband or I had much experience getting our photos taken. As soon as we saw the gorgeous photos from our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right choice. When our wedding day finally came, Kelsey and her second shooter, Zach, were so fun to be around and made everyone in our wedding party and families feel happy and included. Every moment felt celebratory and fun, but they also made sure we stuck to our schedule and got all our key photos done! We are so so happy with how the photos came out. Kelsey captured the real emotions and the love that surrounded us on our wedding day, and I can’t thank her enough for the gift of being able to look back on that day through her photographs.

Liesl NYC

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hi! I’m Liesl, founder of Liesl nyc. I started my career at an old time photo tourist trap in South Dakota and came to the big city to be a fashion photographer (with a few stops along the way.) Though I found a love for portraits and weddings and made that my focus, I’ve kept the editorial aesthetic. Though I’ve lived in Brooklyn for 15 years I’ve kept the South Dakota demeanor. A calm and comfortable presence helps a lot when you’re not used to being followed around by a photographer. Getting great pictures shouldn’t be intimidating. It’ll be way more fun than you think

We had a wonderful experience working with Alexis from Photo Pink. Alexis was professional and the perfect mix of go with the flow while making sure she got the best shots! My only complaint would be that it did take a long time to get the photos and we had to follow up with Liesl a few times about when to expect them. She always responded to those messages promptly though and tried to keep us updated about when we would get our gallery. It was well worth the wait because the photos are exactly what we wanted! Would definitely recommend Photo Pink@

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

We (Melissa & Michael) became wedding photographers because we truly believe we have something different to bring to the table. Our goals are simple: to help you relive each moment of your wedding day every time you look at your images, make you feel comfortable in front of the camera, and blend into the crowd like we're your guests. We pride ourselves on open & honest communication with our couples, a seamless booking-through-wedding-day process, super speedy photo delivery, and lending a helping hand in any way we can.

This review is long overdue and well deserved. If you only have time to read one more sentence: Hire Melissa and be confident that you will get the photos and vision you want on your special day! We partnered with Melissa at Sava Studio for our wedding this past September and she shot, composed and edited our engagement photos as well. Melissa as a vendor is responsive, friendly, knowledgeable, creative and gregarious. She was always open and transparent with us, patient listening to what we thought we wanted and our vision and was always available to offer feedback as we requested. She walked us through the entire wedding process with respect to the photography aspect and she also offered assistance as we needed in related areas as we got closer to our wedding date. Our first interaction with her was our engagement photo shoot and Melissa made my partner and I feel comfortable while she was shooting and she was very flexible in the shots we wanted to take and what we wanted to see. Very importantly for me, Melissa has a great eye for a memorable photo! Getting to see the raw photos as well as the edited ones Melissa showed us her talent and professionalism. We shot in bright sunlight, shade and darker areas and Melissa was able to handle it all. Our wedding was a few months later at our parents house and the area that the ceremony took place in was unique in that there were a lot of trees/shadows/light patterns to manage. Melissa handled it all! She and her partner used every trick in the book to get the best photos of my wife and I and were able to take some classic natural/unposed shots of us. It speaks to her professionalism and vision that she knew where to be and when to get the best shots! Post-wedding, Melissa had us a sizable preview to review almost 24 hours after the wedding so she could collect feedback before sending us our final photo collection. Once sent, Melissa/Sava made it very easy for us to share photos with family and friends and access them in the future for when we wanted to reminisce. We can't thank Melissa enough and we recommend Melissa at Sava for all of your photography needs!

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!

We absolutely loved working with the Heckler Photography team!

Their attention to detail was impeccable, and they provided so many stunning photos that choosing the ones for our album was a challenge—in the best way possible!

I was voted Friendliest in high school (very proud of that fact), and I genuinely love what I do. I cry at every wedding, and I usually cry again when I'm editing your photos. I used to be an actor on Broadway and TV, and I think that makes me a stickler for making sure your photos are authentic and believable. (And I will help you get there!) I'm married to a wonderful man, so I've been through the wedding planning from the other side (ahh!), and we have an adorable little dog. :)

David is an absolute gem! For two people who hate having their pictures taken, my husband and I had a blast working with David. He makes the whole process so fun and exciting. Not to mention, David takes GORGEOUS photos that capture moments and pure emotion. I would recommend David, again and again to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. The best of the best!

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.

In an age of algorithms, hashtags, and followers photography has taught Alex the true importance of the human connection. To him, photography is more than composing a beautiful shot or finding the best light. It’s about finding moments that shares with the viewer a special insight into the couples, the friends, that he has the privilege to document. He strives to capture feelings and emotions that take people back to special moments worth remembering for generations to come.

Alex and his team were phenomenal. My wife and I just got back from visiting family for the holidays and they are still talking about how much they loved Alex and his team. Alex, Vlad and the team drove to upstate NY to capture our day! Since my wife and I live in NC, we had not met Alex before our wedding day but that was not an issue at all because he arrived early to learn who was in our family and bridal party. This allowed him to get all of our must-have pictures. Even though our day has passed, Alex continues to be extremely responsive. On Christmas, we were having difficulty accessing our video to show to family so we email Alex, not expecting a response...it was Christmas day. Within 5 minutes Alex responded with our video links so that we could share with family. Many of our friends have gotten engaged in the last several weeks and we are recommending Alex to all of them.

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!!

Husband + Wife duo! NY transplants. We have a 7 year old son Finn, and a 3 year old daughter Goldie, as well as a goofy golden doodle Bernie and an extremely sassy cat named Scout! You can typically find us at home drinking way too many lattes, or taking advantage of everything NYC has to offer!

Teryn and Dakota are so great! For our wedding we opted out of engagement photos so I was a bit nervous that meeting them for the first time on our wedding day wouldn't give us time to get comfortable with each other. But that wasn't the case at all. They are both very warm, friendly and talented and got us right away. We booked for 2 consecutive days with them. Friday at city hall and the following day for the reception. Teryn and Dakota were kind enough to turn around a handful of photos from city hall so we could include them in our slideshow that we showed our guests at the reception. We had the best experience and could not have been happier with Teryn and Dakota.

Jason came recommended to us from a few people who responded to a Facebook post I made in one of our local groups. We are so, so glad we decided to go with him! We had a very small wedding at our house and hired Jason to come do just an hour-long shoot (for a very reasonable price) so we could have a handful of formal shots and a few of our ceremony. He arrived right on time and ready to go. He was super friendly, laid back and professional and actually made us both feel at ease (which is tough because I hate being in front of a camera!) Even though it's the height of wedding season, he had a few preview photos for us to see within three or four days and the rest of the photos were ready for us within about two weeks? Just an amazing turn-around time. And although I'm burying the lede here, the photos were outstanding. I didn't expect very much from just an hour-long shoot, but we had so many "favorites" we really had a tough time picking which ones we wanted to have printed! We wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for a wedding photographer!

Twah is pronounced as it’s spelled or like “3” in French. My boutique photography business is rooted in NYC but always ready to travel the world. As a former NYC Fashion Designer, I take my knowledge of style & weave it into my photography approach. I believe: 1. Your wedding day should not be spent in long posed formal photo sessions. 2. Personal details are an integral part of your day’s story. 3. Wedding images should be timeless yet stylishly current and natural. 3. Making the most of a rainy day or a mishap usually ends up being fun memories to look back on. 4. Beauty is within. Positivity radiates. Authenticity is perfection.

Twah is an artist, a professional and an amazing spirit to work with. She is fantastic for the bride and groom as well as the planner. We highly highly recommend Twah for her process, her kindness, and her product. She cares about the client and all of the details of the day and goes unnoticed while capturing it all.

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 cannot say enough wonderful things about having Jenn photograph our wedding day! Her and her husband, Mike, went above and beyond and exceeded all of our expectations by far. They were extremely organized and knew exactly what they were doing. They are very detail oriented and are great at capturing every aspect of your big day. Our wedding had to be moved inside due to inclement weather and they quickly adapted to the sudden change, which was such a relief for this slightly overwhelmed bride! We would HIGHLY recommend Jenn & will definitely be using her again!

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!

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 a dream to work with! She captured my engagement and wedding photos so beautifully - I've gotten emotional and cried happy tears each time I've gone through our gallery of photos for the first time. I can't recommend Erica enough - she is thoughtful, professional, super talented, hardworking, and just an all-around great person. I'm so grateful I had the chance to work with 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!!!

As my Instagram bio says, I'm a country girl by birth, a city girl by choice and a photographer by obsession. I grew up on a farm in a small Midwestern town, but have lived in New York City for over 25 years. As a photographer I say I'm self-taught, but in reality I've had the benefit of amazing mentors and teachers along the way who helped me elevate my work and pursue joy along with results. When not making photos or hanging out with my husband and kids, you can find me with a book in hand or listening to music while indulging my love of textiles at my sewing machine (yes, I really own a sewing machine)! Oh, or dancing! :-)

"I work with a lot of vendors in the course of a wedding season and the ones that stand out are those who bring a positive energy and camaraderie to their work. Amy Milstein is exactly that type of person. Not only is she a great photographer, but she's fun to work with and I've noticed that the couples feel very calm and comfortable with her, which is so important! I'd definitely recommend her to any couple looking for a great documentary style photographer. "

Hey there, I'm Joy! Years from now when you look at your wedding photographs, I want all of the memories and emotions to come flooding back: the joy, the love, and the laughter. It’s so easy to live our lives, missing the sweetest moments because how quickly they fly by. Those sweet in-between moments that can be so easily missed are my favorite to capture. Whether it be your candid smiles, the tears shed on your wedding day, or your beautiful family laughing together, I find joy in capturing you being YOU! I love photography because through it, I’m able to share pieces of your story and create lasting memories.

Joy photographed our engagement photos and our entire wedding. She was an absolute GEM to work with as an individual and as a professional. Some of my friends from the bridal party still rave about her to this day, and I cannot recommend her fast enough when someone asks for a photographer! Even my other vendors loved working with her. RUN don’t walk to booking with Joy!

Heyyy there! I’m Kiersten, the founder and creative force behind the lens. Born and raised in West Virginia, this beautiful state is what I call my home. I’ve developed a love for traveling across the United States, and I’m excited to expand my adventures internationally in December 2024. I’m passionate about capturing that best friend type of love—the real, raw, and candid moments that make your relationship unique. On your wedding day, my focus is on documenting your authentic selves, from those emotional first looks to cozy moments during golden hour. And I’m all about the pops of color!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Kiersten for my wedding, and I can't recommend her enough. From the moment we met, her professionalism and passion for photography were evident. She took the time to understand our vision and was super easy to communicate with throughout the planning process. On the big day, Kiersten was a true pro—capturing all the special moments without being intrusive. She managed to blend into the background while still getting all the key shots we wanted. The candid shots really stood out. The final photos blew us away. The quality and creativity were top-notch, and we received countless compliments from our friends and family. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who delivers stunning results and makes the process enjoyable, Kiersten is your person. You won’t regret it!
