Gruber Photographers 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

At Gruber Photographers, we are inspired by one simple truth, “A moment is defined not only by its subject but also by the effect it has on those who share it.” We believe life’s milestones deserve to be photographed with this in mind. Every detail large and small. Every feeling from only the right angles. From the behind-the-scenes preparations to the spotlighted celebrations. Un-scripted, un-posed and nothing like traditional wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gruber Photographers were fantastic in photographing my 'Surprise Proposal'. Terry was great at organising quickly and efficiently, and putting me in touch with the photographer for the big day -- Olga. Olga was also great, and the photos she took were fantastic and just what we wanted. She helped me find the perfect location for the proposal and the spots for extra photos afterwards. I had never been to New York before, so it was really useful to have advice on where the best spots would be. On the day everything went really smoothly, and Olga was very understanding when we arrived slightly later than planned. I really wanted some photos under a cherry blossom tree, and Olga managed to find seemingly the only cherry blossom in bloom in Central Park. The photos look amazing, and we are very happy with how they turned out. It is really nice to be able to share the special moment with our family and friends with these photographs. I would definitely recommend Gruber Photographers!

Clover and the Bees 

5.0

  • Florist
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I’ve been flowering events for almost half my life, and have experience slingin’ blooms in just about every setting you can imagine all across Long Island and beyond. I have witnessed cycles of trends and many changes in both the wedding and floral industry, all of which has shaped me as a designer and entrepreneur. I love to work with local farms and growers for both unique and traditional bloom options, while also growing flowers of my own that almost always make their way into my work. You'll notice that means my flowering style is often organic and whimsy, yet timeless.

Clover and the Bees created the most gorgeous floral arrangements for our wedding day. Kristen was extremely communicative, flexible, and supportive in bringing our vision to life. She delivered unique, creative details (including amazing rental items) with an understated elegance that perfectly complemented our intimate garden party wedding vision. The bridal bouquet, boutonnieres, and centerpieces featured beautiful, intricate details that impressed all of our guests. Kristen was hands-on throughout the entire planning process and on the wedding day itself, ensuring that every floral detail was perfect. Her passion, talent, and commitment to customer service made her the ideal florist for our special day. The venue was a non-traditional space that was totally transformed by her work. I cannot recommend Clover and the Bees highly enough for any bride seeking stunning, one-of-a-kind floral arrangements that will make your wedding day truly magical.

It may sound corny but I LOVE love! Every love story deserves to be celebrated. I love and accept any client without discrimination. I proudly serve all gender identities, sexualities, races, cultures, religions, bodies, and abilities. Your love is welcome here! I am truly honored to capture your special day and celebrate with you the beginning of this new chapter in your lives. I love capturing their couples connection and the genuine connections with their family and friends. I love hearing about your story - from dating to proposal and everything in-between!

Erika was incredible!! From the moment I reached out, she was quick with her responses and made the contracting process as simple as possible, by providing questionnaires and detailed information to make sure that everything was aligned. The package that my partner and I chose, also included an engagement shoot, which gave us an opportunity to not only witness the way that she works, but to be able to experience her incredibly kind spirit. During the engagement shoot, my partner and I had felt the most comfortable in front of the camera because of Erika's encouragement and guidance throughout. This further solidified our decision to choose Erika as our wedding photographer. The pics from our engagement shoot were spectacular! The edits were nicely done and even though I'm generally critical of how I look in pictures, she made sure to bring out the best of me and my partner! Erika remained in constant contact with me leading up to the wedding, which gave me so much peace of mind. On the day of the wedding, Erika was prompt and brought such a calmness, that one could only want on their wedding day. She made sure to capture the pics from the shot list that I provided her and she was able to capture so much more! We just received a sneak peek from our wedding photos that she sent within a week and OMG the pics are stunning!! I actually teared up when looking at them because she perfectly captured the beauty and love from that day! My husband and I are overjoyed with the pics and can't wait for the final edits of the remaining pictures. I would recommend Erika to anyone for the simple fact that she knows what she's doing and it is evident!! I'm looking forward to other events that we will be able to utilize her services because she was just that amazing!

The photographs I create tell the full story of your unique wedding day and capture all of the anticipation, laughter, emotion, joy, and excitement which comes along with it. I want you to relive your day from getting ready, to the ceremony, and throughout the reception with every moment in between.

I offer a wide variety of packages that tailored to fit your day and always personally am available to discuss everything on your mind no matter how big or small.

Working with William was one of the best decisions I made. He was always super responsive and my wedding photos exceeded my high expectations. What I love about William is how easy going he is. Not all photographers are like this, but he really made my day stress free while still capturing amazing photos. My parents commented on how well he seemed to know who everyone was and focus in on them throughout the day. He made sure to get every single photo on my shot list and I really couldn't be more satisfied with how the photos came out. Book him for your wedding. He is so nice and amazing at what he does.

Bri Johnson Weddings

  • Photographer

  • Starts at $7,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I'm a beauty, boudoir, & wedding photographer living in New Jersey with my husband and two kitties. We’re both originally from Upstate NY (and I mean WAY upstate like Rochester) where we grew up, fell in love, and I studied photography professionally. I photographed my first wedding in 2010 and haven’t looked back. Too many “I do’s” to count and I am still getting excited over your dress, I’m keeping your friends and family laughing, and I cannot wait to congratulate you after the ceremony. I know how lucky I am to photograph such momentous milestones and create images you’ll cherish 50 years down the road.

Bri Johnson is an absolute pleasure to work with, extremely organized, professional and so talented. The services and products offered by Bri are top notch and her presence alone went beyond any of our other vendors. Bri is very responsive and her online portal is super easy to use. With Bri's strong attention to detail we created a timeline of our wedding day early on and she was kind enough to distribute it to our other vendors as well. Bri kept our wedding day running smooth and the quality of our photos are seriously spectacular! It was so fun to share our blog the week after the wedding and I could spend hours looking through the online gallery. We didn't initially include a wedding album but after seeing the finished product, we just couldn't resist!

Photographs are forever. A visual reminder of your love, the celebration of the day, and the people surrounding and supporting you in this beautiful union. These are the photos you will be showing your grandchildren, hanging on your wall, and showing off on social media for many anniversaries to come. Photos are timeless.

I have come to realize that the photos of your wedding is a huge part that you really want to invest in, and my husband and I wanted all the right moments captured not only for ourselves to look back on, but for our loved ones to appreciate as well. Those moments that you will have in your wedding (no matter how big or small, possibly due to covid) is something that you don’t want to miss because you might never get that opportunity again. Our photographer Nina was honestly a God sent. She went out of her way to capture the moments that mattered and was very personable and attentive to our needs during this whole experience. That shot that you want, you WILL get if you choose her. Nina helped us tell our wedding story almost poetically. The turn around time was quicker than I expected and I was able to share my beautiful pictures with my loved ones. Ninas professionalism was top tier and the service you get was exceptional, period. Bottom line, if you are in need of someone to capture memories and not just take photographs, stop looking, you found just found her!

I’m a lifestyle & wedding photographer hailing from Tokyo but currently based in Brooklyn, New York. I love that I get to meet people from all walks of life every day and I am in awe by each of their stories I get to document.

Yumi is such a dream to work with! Yumi was amazing throughout the entire process, she makes it her mission to make sure that every detail of your wedding is captured and helps you think through and plan for things that you didn't even realize you needed to think about. She scouted locations with us around our venue to make sure every shot had the perfect background and kept our entire bridal party smiling and laughing throughout the pre-wedding photos. She captured so many beautiful moments and did a fabulous job making everyone look their best. I've had so many friends and family members chose to work with Yumi after meeting her at our wedding! If you're going to hire someone to tail you for the entire day, one the most important and memorable days nonetheless, you will be so happy if you choose Yumi!

Rosehip Social Florist

  • Florist
  • Starts at $150 per arrangement
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

All of us here at Rosehip have been influenced by a lifelong love of nature and gardening, anything blooming and leaves of all types. We love what we do, and we love how flowers can bring so much joy and happiness to any space. Even something as simple as a small bud vase. We’ve been growing and working hard. Our lovely and amazingly hard working crew has been studying, building and even becoming arial scissor lift certified, so that we can hang greenery and flower installations from any ceiling and beam! True love of flowers and plants has led us to this life, and we can’t wait to share this passion with you! Come by, say hi!

The team at Rosehip created the most perfect ambiance for our wedding. Every time we talk to a guest about our wedding day, they still comment on the incredible flowers. We wanted a dark and edgy feel - all black candles, vases, signage, etc. with a simple gold accent. We don’t know much about flowers and only really knew what we didn’t like, so we let the experts do what they do best and I am so happy we did. The flowers Rosehip selected were absolutely STUNNING. They were the perfect pop of vibrant colors and beautiful blooms that set a gorgeous stage. I was truly obsessed with the bouquets and boutonnières. Everything was flawless and spot on with our vision of a moody scene with a dramatic color flare. Communication with Rosehip was extremely easy. Lauren was really patient with all of my questions and provided thorough, thoughtful responses. I could not recommend them more highly. They were easy to trust and surely delivered.

We are extremely happy that we selected the RedBrick Duo to play at our wedding. Jess and Damien were phenomenal. We spoke with them multiple times prior to the wedding to go over our song choices. They sent us multiple samples so we would have an idea of each song that will play at the wedding. At the ceremony our guests were in awe when Danielle walked down the aisle to Goo Goo Dolls "Iris". At our cocktail hour, many of our friends started to sing out loud the lyrics to the songs being played. It was one of our favorite moments of the wedding. They were also super friendly. We waited until the last minute to book them and could not be any more happy with their performance.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

ECHOES & WILD HEARTS

Oh hey, Liron here. I've been shooting weddings for over 12 years now and have traveled all around the globe to document couples on their big day. I am driven by the sense of nostalgia and my mission is to create honest images that will echo through time.

Echoes and Wild Hearts work speaks for itself. If you love the vibe of their portfolio (which we did), you will not be disappointed. Go for it! We found EAWH through Wedding Artists Co on Instagram, initially looking for videographer as we were already very close to booking another photographer. However, once we got on the phone with Liron, we went all in on EAWH to streamline planning and keep things looking consistent. We wanted a very non-wedding, wedding photographer/videographer who would capture the feeling of our day. I feel awkward in front of the camera and cringed at the idea of pose-y photos, Liron and his second shooter captured everything better than we could have imagined and put us totally at ease. We got married in the Catskills and it was 100 degrees and full humidity on our day and somehow everyone looks lovely in the photos when in reality we were melting... Liron is truly a photo wizard. He also shot our welcome party the night before and our afterparty- all fantastic! From the initial phone calls and emailing about logistics during planning, to seamlessly blending in with us on site and making us feel totally comfortable and like our best selves, to photo/video delivery post event, it was a total pleasure working with EAWH at every step! Perhaps even more importantly, I truly feel the work EAWH delivered to us are some of the best wedding photos and video I've ever seen. We love Liron!

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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!

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

It’s been over a month after my wedding and I’m still wondering if it is acceptable to love you wedding photographer more then your husband??? I can not speak more highly of Chelsea! When we first met I knew it was meant to be, her passion for capturing love and telling a love story just pours out of her. When looking for a wedding photographer we wanted someone who was easy going, professional, fun to work with, and loved love as much of us, Chelsea blew these “requirements” out of the water.

I'm Kari, and I'm obsessed with real emotions. I've been a photographer since 2007 and I still get all gooey inside when I see a couple laughing together, crying together, or living out dreams together. I only accept 12 wedding commissions a year so I can give each couple the attention you deserve. I'm based in New York, but I'm never opposed to traveling far and wide for a gorgeous wedding! Get in touch to see if I'm available for your wedding and to see if we're a good fit for each other!

Kari and Caleb were such a pleasure to work with! I cannot say enough good things about them. Personality-wise, they were a great presence to have around on our wedding day - fun, personable, professional, relaxed, and looking out for my husband and me the entire time. Photography-wise, I am even more impressed. Kari and Caleb expertly guided us through our first look and couples session before the wedding. They found amazing locations to shoot in, helped us pose, and kept track of the time to make sure we got where we needed to be. During the ceremony and reception, they were incredibly dynamic. When I saw the photos, I couldn't believe they were able to capture so much of the night from so many angles. The images are STUNNING. They are fun, unique, candid, expertly shot and edited, and I love them all so much. I would work with Kari and Caleb again in a heartbeat.

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. "
