Madison Fender 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves St. James, NY

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison was incredible throughout this whole process. She was communicative, quick and concise in communication/planning and her work speaks for itself. I fell in love with Madisons document style photography during our engagement photos and somehow the wedding photos are even better. I cannot say enough good things about her work!! Obsessed

Claudia Ayala Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves St. James, NY

You want to capture the heartfelt, milestone moments – but also the head-thrown-back laughter and the ease of your connection. You want photos that look like art but feel exactly like you. You’re in the right place. I’ll never stop being sentimental about the simple beauty of people living, celebrating, and loving. I’m endlessly inspired by the way life unfolds when people are just being themselves.

Claudia is FANTASTIC. Her photos are beautiful and natural. No stiff, awkward wedding photos that you feel like you see all the time. She is a true artist and awesome to work with. She made this somewhat camera-shy couple feel at ease, and we are so proud of the pictures we got for our perfect day. We heartily recommend her services, you won't regret it for one second!

Elise Margolin Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

Elise was our wedding photographer. Is she the best? She’s the best in more ways than one can ask for in a photographer. Elise goes above and beyond for her clients providing exceptional service in addition to the stunning photos she takes of your special day. From regular check-ins, her words of encouragement, to her “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help you through moments of uncertainty and crisis, she is more than a photographer - she is your teammate and someone who you can rely on. We were so lucky to have her by our side. Thank you, Elise. We literally could not have done it without you. Of course, I highly recommend her services without any reservation.

Park Ave Studio 

4.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves St. James, NY

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

My husband and I worked with Park Ave Studio for our photos as a part of our wedding package. Our photographer, Erica, was great! She got great shots of our guests and also took beautiful formal and artistic shots of us and our wedding party. We got over 30 teasers within a week of our wedding and then 1300 photos a few weeks later. The turnaround was impressive and the quality was great. The photographers are also really familiar with the venues they typically work with, which is a bonus in that they know all the good shots to take

Gelfman Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves St. James, NY

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

We were looking for photographers around our venue that fit our budget when we came across Matt and Lesley After we spoke with them, we really enjoyed our conversation with them and knew we would be in good hands. They were super easy to work with from Day 1, making sure to provide updates on everything. Our engagement session was a lot of fun and really cemented that we made the right choice for our wedding several months later. On the day of, they were awesome. Even with last minute changes to our shot list when our guests were running late, they captured some really wonderful moments from our special day. We have been so excited showing the previews Matt & Lesley sent to us with our friends and family, and we are really looking forward to seeing the whole set!

Apollo Fields 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves St. James, NY

Heather is our in-house professional photographer who has an artistic obsession with natural light. When she’s not wrangling your next of kin for formals by asserting her east coast kindness, you will probably find her in the woods, holding her hand in the air to catch a reflection of the sun’s rays. She has a knack for finding locations that make natural surroundings look like professional sets, placing her subjects in an ethereal glow that’s usually reserved for storybook endings. An experienced industry professional through-and-through, she navigates the timeline of the day with a caring, hospitable hand and a keen artistic eye.

Perfect wedding photographers. We threw a lot their way with very vague guidelines and they captured everything. They also dealt with a downpour of rain and a power outage, but were troopers the whole time. High quality, good pricing, easy to work with, would totally recommend 10/10!

Vero Life Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves St. James, NY

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)
