I can't say enough great things about NJ Wedding Studio! Frank was so easy to work with and our photographer, Daniel, is GREAT at what he does! When I first reached out to Frank, he responded back right away with pricing and everything I might need to know. We scheduled a phone conference to talk more about what my husband and I were looking for. Right away, I got the sense that Frank was so organized and knew what he was doing. Throughout the entire process, Frank was answering our questions promptly and never left us in the dark. We scheduled an engagement photo session with Daniel and couldn't have been happier! I'm personally not comfortable in front of the camera, but Daniel posed us throughout the entire session and made us feel very at ease. Daniel was also very easy to work with. We got our photos back EARLY in color and black and white. The quality was amazing and they turned out beautiful. On our wedding day, Daniel was prompt and got started with the photos right away. He followed what my husband and I wanted to capture, as well as other photos I wouldn't have even thought to take. He arrived at 1pm and was with us until 11pm. He captured us getting ready, first look, group shots, ceremony and party shots. We got a sneak peek not even 24 hours later and to say they looked amazing is an understatement! We received all of our pictures 3 weeks later and enjoyed looking at them together. Not a single moment was missed. Thank you, NJ Wedding Studio, for being apart of our dream wedding!

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding is stressful and feels like trying to juggle a thousand different things. Hiring Tati and Roman meant we knew we didn’t have to worry about one of the biggest aspects of our wedding day. From the beginning their communication and professionalism set the standard. The pre wedding planning they do made it so easy day of. The day of our wedding it rained all day they already had back up locations for the weather. They arrived on time and were so friendly and calming throughout the day. They made sure we got all the pictures we wanted done. When we got the photos back we were blown away by how amazing they all came out. We have been getting non stop compliments from friends and family about them! Tati and Roman need to be on the top of your list if you’re getting married in NYC

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

Astoria, NY

  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are so happy with our wedding photos! Marilyn was great to work with, so friendly and understanding and made us both feel very comfortable. She was very organized in the lead up and we knew exactly what to expect and communicated very clearly with us throughout the entire process. Definitely would recommend her for any photography needs!

Bailey Q Photo

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,450
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Hey there, my name is Bailey! I am an artist, business woman, wifey, nerd, Brooklyn-ite, and matcha fiend who’s endlessly curious about the world around me. I strive to make the world better by capturing love authentically, spreading positivity & happiness, and supporting organizations that are doing the work to preserve our planet & enrich the lives of marginalized communities. With my whole heart, I unapologetically embrace inclusivity & all forms of love.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you tore little pieces of paper from your notebook and on each strip wrote adjectives that describe the perfect wedding photographer and then tucked each piece into a mason jar, closed your eyes, shook the jar up, and whispered "please please please," I'm pretty sure you would summon Bailey. My husband and I decided to plan a semi-elopement (with a handful of guests) in six weeks. I was working full time and doing a part-time MBA and the last couple of weeks of planning coincided with my final exams. It was chaos. I'm tough to please and I knew I wanted a photographer that wouldn't just snap the standard photos, I wanted an *artist* who would roam the Arnold Arboretum with us, capturing the essence of our love. So, with the frenzied nature of sleep-deprived planning, I reached out to Bailey with a brusque email that had clearly been copy/pasted to a dozen other photographers. Bailey responded with a thoughtful message, detailed and transparent information on pricing, and links to some of her recent shoots. She immediately charmed me with her genuine enthusiasm and it felt like a sign from the wedding gods when she excitedly mentioned she married her husband in the Arnold Arboretum. From that first note, I knew I had to work with her. So here are my favorite things about Bailey: she jumped into the frenetic planning process without hesitation. She took time to get to know us and ask thoughtful questions. She was endlessly patient with my email delays and tardiness to eve-ry-thing. She is optimistic and kind and funny. She is organized beyond my wildest dreams. She made me and my camera-shy husband feel not just comfortable, but confident and special and radiant in front of the camera. Oh and her photos are freaking BRILLIANT. They are stunning. They are moody-yet-gleaming. They are artistic-yet-natural. They are polished-yet-spirited. Bailey was born to be the photographer that documents your special day and preserves it for you and your partner to stare at, goofy-grinned, for eternity.

Christopher Duggan Photography

Bronx, NY

  • Serves Staten Island, NY

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Christopher is so phenomenally kind and thoughtful. Working with him and his team is so fun, and he helps settle into whatever vibe you bring to the shoot. We are a shy couple who doesn't take a lot of photos and he helped us feel comfortable to get some truly phenomenal photos of our wedding day. We would recommend him and his team to everyone without reservations! He is so loved by our family that my sister is using him for her engagement and wedding photos, which is a testament to what a good job he has done.

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Justin as our wedding photographer was the best decision we made in our wedding planning! Working with him was an absolute blast - he brought so much energy, creativity, and laughter to our special day. From start to finish, Justin's professionalism and years of experience shone through, and his ability to capture us, who are not always the most comfortable in front of a camera, was truly impressive. He also went above and beyond to be flexible with our schedule and preferences. We felt like we were hanging out with a friend who just happened to be an incredibly talented photographer. If you are considering Justin for your wedding- just do it, you won’t regret it!

By the time your wedding arrives, my hope is you'll see me as a trusted friend helping you enjoy your day! A lifelong New Yorker, I love combining the creative with the technical and finding the beauty, art and magic in life as well as good food, dancing to 90s jams and my senior rescue cat, Ever.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Emily for our engagement shoot last summer and had an exceptional experience. There are a couple key things that contributed to it being such a success that I wanted to call out about working with her. 1. Ease and comfortability. I don't like getting my photo taken and I often feel awkward in front of the camera. Emily's SO talented at being able to distract you from a lens being pointed at you, and making the time fly and session loads of fun. If you tend to get nervous around a camera, this type of professionalism and ability to calm exactly what you need. 2. Flexibility and imagination. Our session was at and around Domino Park, which gave us a lot of options for shots. We asked for certain shots to be done, which we did, but then Emily suggested all these other ideas that were inspired by our look and vibe, and some of them turned out to be our favorites! We really appreciated that imagination and creativity. Overall, I'd recommend working with Emily in a heartbeat.

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

Awarded Best of Zola
We found Stephanie through her past work at the venue we got married and we just fell in love with her photos can capture the feeling in the air and the stories narrating the big day. Four years from that beautiful day, we can still savor the small moment she captured and reminded us how much fun we had. Stephanie is very easy to work with and she works with the flow of our personality. Commutative throughout the whole process so you feel well taken cared of. Under her lense, we feel and look like us! She is very detail oriented and arrives ahead of time to get familiar with the venue to get inspiration for the event.

Lindsey was an absolute dream to work with. My husband and I knew she was the photographer for us during our initial reach out. We loved that Lindsey got to know us personally so when we finally met for the first time it felt like meeting up with a friend. At our engagement photos, Lindsey made us so comfortable and enjoyed that she didn't make us do pose after pose and instead allowed us to just be a couple hanging out. At our wedding, Lindsey was even more of a rockstar and all of my guests were saying how much they loved her energy. She helped me stay calm during some stressful moments and made sure to check in with my husband and I throughout the day. When we got our photos, our jaws dropped. The photos were absolute perfection and captured my husband and I perfectly. It was so much fun to relive the day through the images and see all the tiny details that slipped by us on such a busy day. Hiring Lindsey was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Kathryn to photograph our very small wedding in the Adirondack Mountains this past fall. It was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. Neither of us had been in front of a professional photographer's camera before and are both on the shy side. But that didn't matter because Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We shared laughs and good conversation as she took our photos which made us both feel like we had known her forever. We wanted photos in a LOT of different locations and Kathryn was so flexible and willing to go to all of our favorite spots to ensure we had what we were looking for. At the end of the day, all of our guests asked where we found Kathryn because they all loved her too. Every single person at our wedding agreed that she was the perfect fit, so easy going, and overall great to have around on such a special occasion. Kathryn even provided us with some "sneak peak" photos which blew us away! She gave us exactly what we were looking for (even if we didn't fully know what we wanted at the time). Lots of candids, funny photos, and sentimental moments that I didn't realize happened that day. I highly, highly recommend Kathryn if you're looking for someone fun with a positive attitude, willing to go the extra mile for her clients, who can provide you with fantastic photos that will blow you away every time you revisit them.

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Hannah was such a wonderful wedding photographer! We started planning our wedding from abroad, and Hannah was great about communication. She responded to emails quickly and contacted us at multiple points to check in. We never had to worry about a thing! Her questionnaires were extremely helpful for getting us to think about the most important parts of our day and what we wanted to remember. We're not usually natural in front of the camera, but Hannah made us feel comfortable and have fun before the ceremony during our getting ready and first look shots. Hannah was prompt about sending preview photos right after the wedding and following up with our beautiful full gallery right on time. We were thrilled with the photos, and she made everyone look good. Even though we had an extremely sunny day that must have made photography difficult, Hannah still managed to capture the ceremony beautifully. The family portraits are beautiful and the photos from the reception, dinner, and dancing are the exact natural photography that we were looking for. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

I absolutely LOVE working with Christian! We first met both Christian and Emilio beforehand after scouting them from the internet & IG while looking for a photography and videography package. From their work and their website altogether, I knew they were the kinds of creative personalities we would want to help us capture our special day as well as the aesthetic we were looking for. The packaged we booked included an engagement shoot where we first got to work with Christian really get to know his fun personality and he got to learn about the kind of photography. Although we originally booked both of them for our wedding in October, there was a scheduling conflict with another couple. Christian was super professional in communicating that to us and getting the additional coverage for our day at the same quality. The turnaround time for the preview, full gallery, and teaser video were exactly as promised- faster than we expected! Christian has been extremely communicative from planning our first meet up last January 2019, to the days leading up to our wedding, through to the editing of the final products. Highly highly highly recommend them and would refer them in a heartbeat!!

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

Cappy was a pleasure to work with from the very first interaction I had with her. She is full of joy and excitement about her work and it really comes through. We are extremely happy with both the engagement photos and our wedding photos—especially the photos of our reception. She captured the joy and excitement of the day so incredibly well. Looking through the albums allowed us to relive the day together and gave us so many fun snaps of our guests enjoying the party. Neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, but she somehow managed to help us relax and enjoy the experience, making the pictures even more beautiful. Cappy was there for every important moment of our day without being overwhelming. We all laughed with her during the posed shots of our family and bridal party and she managed to somehow work her way around the dance floor seamlessly to get the most amazing pictures of the party. Being able to see these and share them with family and friends has brought us so much joy and laughter. Cappy is incredibly talented, fun, and easy to work with—zero drama and all smiles. She was on time with everything, including the turnaround of the albums. She brought a second photographer with her to our wedding, Teresa, who was also amazing and they made a GREAT team. We would recommend her work to anyone!

We are Ryan + Jillian, a husband and wife photography team. We fell into wedding photography after our own wedding when Ryan's best man/cousin Sean passed away. Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

I cannot explain how amazing this husband and wife team are! Jillian and Ryan were an absolute dream to work with. Hands down our favorite vendors!! So easy to work with and their photography skills are out of this world. We will cherish our pictures forever. And they couldn't be more down to earth.

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day.

With a style that is timeless and not bound to the trends of the moment, I capture each couple in a unique way and I see you for you.

I knew I wanted to work with Bryan when I saw how wonderful his imagery was of previous brides. When we met for the first time he made my husband and I so comfortable, making the daunting wedding process so much easier. He met with us multiple times and in doing so learned how my husband and I fell in love. It was really special! For the wedding day, Bryan hustled for 8 hours and made sure I got every image scenario that we had discussed in our initial meetings. He was super calm under pressure and made sure we got our group photos with our loved ones. I would 100% recommend Bryan for any couple! He was a pleasure to work with.

Hello and welcome! My name is Tatiana and I'm the girl from Brooklyn but I was born in raised in Siberia, Russia. Since I was teenager I was taken photographs of every day moments and small happenings in my life. And I never knew that taking photographs and creating memories for other people will become my dream job! I am a traveller, adventurer, dog lover and of course wedding and elopement photographer in NYC and beyond! And let me tell you I absolutely love weddings! It's a tremendous honor to witness and document the love. I always shed a tear at the ceremonies.

As a wedding photographer myself, I had the pleasure of working alongside my colleague Tati on a recent project, and I must say, it was an absolute delight. Her professionalism and ease in handling even the most challenging moments were truly commendable. Her keen eye for detail and ability to capture those fleeting, candid moments added depth and richness to our collective work. Tati's collaborative spirit made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better partner to share the responsibility of documenting such an important day. Their expertise and dedication undoubtedly elevated the quality of our work, and I look forward to the opportunity to collaborate again in the future.

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

On top of it all, she was so friendly which made the experience even sweeter. It was easy to be comfortable around her and open up to the pictures.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her.

It is also worth noting that Carey worked with us through two COVID reschedules, and could not have been more kind and easy to work with. That same easy way of being of course came through on our wedding day. She was so calm and easy to work with. We got all photos done ahead of schedule and she stayed close all night to make sure we got all the shots of family and friends that we had hoped for.

Bliss Photos is a Pennsylvania based Wedding Photographer servicing weddings in PA, MD, DC, NYC, and beyond! Bliss Photos is an inclusive wedding photographer that creates romantic & timeless photos with a journalistic approach. As a wedding photographer for 10+ years, my favorite photo to capture is when a couple is completely in their own world and not even aware of the camera. I strive for that photo EVERY time. Those photos are once in a lifetime photos and that's exactly what I'm all about - capturing the real you in that special moment. That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

My husband and I were lucky enough to have Melissa photograph both our engagement photos and our elopement. Melissa is so kind, flexible and professional. I can't say enough great things about her, and that's just as a person. She is truly an artist and fantastic at her craft. Our photos are so beautiful, and really capture our day in such a magical way.

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Adam for me and fiancée's engagement shoot. It is very difficult to navigate a place as large as Central Park, but Adam was spot on with plans and specific areas of the park. We were chasing the sunset and Adam put us in the perfect positions to capture everything we wanted. Couldn't recommend him more, and he's only getting better. I would book him before he's too popular.

i consider myself too much of a hopeless romantic and a laid-back photographer to bring the best in you! i’ve been told that nurture is my superpower, and documenting love stories is my outlet. over the years i’ve learned that when it comes to being creative, art it’s what makes me feel alive, that's why my approach to photography is to have an "as-personal-as-possible" experience with my couples by valuing authenticity and connection. to make the whole process feel light and easy! your life’s best moments and stages deserve to be documented in a way that tells YOUR story.

Juan goes above and beyond with his work. From the moment he interacts with his clients he has this genuine connection to him. He takes the time to be personal and truly understands his clients needs. He over delivers with his stunning work. Making sure each gallery is hand crafted to perfection for each couple.

Awarded Best of Zola
It's been months since our October 2019 wedding, and we still get comments from family and friends about how great our wedding photos turned out AND about how great Bryan was at the wedding itself! He was fun to be around (which is key since you will be together for your entire wedding day), his photos were incredible, and he delivered them SO quickly (I have friends who got married earlier who are still waiting on their photos, and it is so fun to get them back when you are still on the wedding high!). We had a great experience with our engagement session as well. Great guy and great photographer!
