New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Long Island City, 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! 🙂

Frank and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. A friend of ours recommended Frank and New Jersey Wedding Studio to us after they had an amazing experience with him for their wedding. Frank took the time to get to know us on our initial calls, walked us through the pricing and different options for the videography we were looking for. On our wedding day he and his staff arrived promptly and were quick to determine unique video shots we could take as we were getting ready. Throughout the day they were there every step of the way, capturing all the beautiful moments with our friends, family and wedding party. The final products were really special and captured all of these amazing moments we will cherish forever. Frank also put the additional time into editing and adjusting our videos ensuring to implement all of our feedback. We really appreciated Franks patience and dedication to delivering a great final product. Originally we weren't even sure if we were going to do a videographer, and we are so glad we did. We would highly recommend New Jersey Wedding Studio to anyone who wants to capture their special day and have memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you again!!

Tatiana Kiseleva Photography

Long Island City, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. But it all began in Siberia, Russia where I was born and raised and was supposed to live happily ever after working in the financial department of an airline company. But after a few years I decided to make a big change and move to New York City, the city that conquered me with all of its happenings, grandeur and diversity.

My partner and I decided to elope in NYC, we’re from Australia so I was stressed when it came to finding someone to capture our day. From the moment I spoke with Tatiana I knew she would be perfect for us! She was so easy to work with and made having photos taken a fun and enjoyable experience and not to mention they look amazing. I’m so happy with my experience with Tatiana and I would recommend her to everyone.

Sascha Reinking Photography LLC

5.0

Long Island City, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

The day you get married to your best friend isn’t about the size of the venue or the number of guests. It’s not about the flavor of the cake or flower arrangements. It’s simply about two people madly in love with each other, the intimate connection they share, and the memories they create along the way. After the food has been eaten, the presents have been opened, and the dress is hanging in your closet, your wedding day will still be with you – in your memories and in the images captured that day.

Sascha was so wonderful to work with!! I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of options we had available to us. I ended up narrowing down by the type of style I saw within photographers portfolio's. Sascha seemed to capture couples in their natural-at-ease compatibility. I reached out to Sascha and throughout our entire communication he was prompt at responding. We booked 4 months in advance and I did have an idea of the type of photo I was looking for. Sascha welcomed my location suggestions and we mapped out a game plan. The day arrived and though we were nervous to be in front of a camera, Sascha made us feel at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Sascha was easy to banter with and was flexible with angles and shots. We left Sascha after the shoot feeling excited and anxious on how well our vision translated to photos. When we got the photos back we could not be more pleased!! They came out exactly how we wanted them to and I couldn't have been more grateful to have found someone as talented, gracious and kind as Sascha.

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
Marilyn and I have been shooting together for over a year, and each wedding with her is better than the last. She is my go-to photographer for reasons too long to list, but for the sake of this review I'll just say: she is talented, experienced, consistent, adaptive, and the perfect blend of taking directions + taking charge. She handles difficult situations with grace and exceeds expectations every single time. It's always a pleasure to work with Marilyn!

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

We absolutely love Kara! We used her for our engagement, city hall ceremony, and our wedding in Savannah, GA. She is absolutely wonderful. We were so anxious to do our engagement pictures, but she immediately made us feel comfortable and calm. We knew we had to have her for the rest of our wedding. She is so creative and endlessly talented. We are so lucky to have gotten to work with her throughout our engagement/wedding. She also is great at advocating for what YOU want for your day, she helped with the timeline, she answered any question we had, and she also literally stitched my dress up 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle - she can do it all haha. We have zero regrets in hiring her. She is the best.

Middle Village, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

How many times in your life can you say: “I have fulfilled something so meaningful that it not only makes me happy but complete strangers as well?” I get that fulfillment every time I step into a wedding, an engagement session, or even capturing a new born. I love capturing the moment that exist right when a groom takes a look at his beautiful bride and can’t help but shed a tear of joy. These unfiltered moments make my job that much better. I live for those instances, where raw emotions are revealed and I can piece together a story worth telling.

Nidji Photography

5.0

Glen Oaks, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

•down to earth •always cheerful •in love with her job •hits her deadlines •knows the ins&outs of the business •Never fails the meet product expectations The only thing you might love more than Nidji's work Is Nidji. She's a pleasure for both her clients and co-vendors. Wedding planning is stressful on every level, even after you've got your ducks in order. With Nidji, you can leave at least that bit of it on the floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot say enough wonderful superlatives about Bailey. Bailey was the first vendor we chose for our August 2019 wedding (after our venue), and it feels like she was with us through the whole process of planning. We loved how frequently Bailey checked in, how comfortable and supported she made us feel, and how flexible she was with every step of planning. When our timing changed on the day of the wedding (hair appointment ran late), Bailey just rolled with it and helped us to enjoy the day stress free. Photographs were something that we really wanted done well, and it was immediately clear that Bailey was an artist. We decided that we didn't want an engagement shoot, and we were so happy when Bailey instead offered to take photos of our evening gathering on the day before our wedding. Everyone assumed that she must have been our close friend, as she was so warm, friendly, and present throughout the whole weekend. We're so happy with the quality of the photos we've seen and so glad that we chose Bailey to work with. Bailey has our strongest recommendation!

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. = )

I can’t even describe how amazing Chris is to work with. He has such an amazing and calming presence which is an unbelievable characteristic to have for your photographer on your wedding day. He made photos so fun and listened to everything that we wanted. We got all of our photos back from our wedding and i can’t even pick which ones are my favorite because they are all just so incredible. He captured moments that are so incredibly special to us, seriously didn’t miss a single one. I started sending them to our friends and family and even they were raving about how amazing our photographer was and how “he definitely loved me/us” but seriously it just felt like that for every single person at our wedding. I really just don’t even know how he did it! Chris, you were the second best decision at my wedding-the first one was saying i do.

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.

Before we picked any other vendors, we knew we wanted to work with Justin. Choosing our photographer first was partially logistical and mostly because we loved him – he was the photographer at a wedding we were in previously, so we were lucky enough to get some first-hand experience with him and how he works! Justin makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera, regardless of experience. He’s so kind, affirming, fun, and funny that he makes it easy to feel like your best self in the photos. That wedding had a huge wedding party, and he did a great job at making the whole group look and feel fantastic, so we knew we would feel comfortable with him for our wedding. One of us is very camera-shy, so his kind and fun demeanor, while producing stunning photos, made him the only photographer we wanted to work with. Once we secured our wedding planner, the first thing we all did was compare dates with Justin because it was that important to us. We also hired Justin for our engagement photoshoot to use the photos for our Save-the-Dates – we can’t recommend that enough! It was the perfect way for us to practice getting photographed by him, and for him to get to know us as a couple in advance. He provided the most fun and thorough get-to-know-you questionnaires and calls prior to working with us that made us feel like he cared to deeply understand who he was photographing. He put so much time, thought, and dedication into our engagement shoot and wedding day – it made us feel so special, and every photograph we have feels perfect for us. On your wedding day, you’re around your photographer and their people ALL day, and they’re interacting with everyone else at the wedding. You want to hire a good person who can seamlessly integrate themselves into the day, get the shots you want, and still be having fun by the end of the day. Justin is absolutely that person, and everyone he works with matches those high standards as well. He advocates for you to make sure you get all the shots you want, plus so many you never knew you wanted but then can’t live without. We never felt steamrolled by any guests or family members because Justin kindly and strategically prioritized us and worked with our planner to keep us on schedule without us ever needing to keep track of the time. He made everyone comfortable in front of the camera through fun prompts and silly jokes and somehow maintained an enviably high energy level the entire day! Everyone at our wedding loved him and his second shooter, Carly, and only had great things to say about them. The end result of each day was stunning and we are obsessed. We attempted to “narrow down our favorites” and still ended up with hundreds of photos we absolutely love, from silly and loving candids, to directed moments that captured the feelings perfectly, and stunning posed shots that make us and our friends feel like models, Justin brought it all and we couldn’t be happier!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

In every regard, Cesario was a delight to work with. He was prompt from the very first email contact. We exchanged several ideas, he guided us along the way. Cesario worked with us in every aspect, was really flexible and easygoing. We had a semi pop-up wedding with very loosely laid out plans.. and he made everything cohesive and organized. I loved the direction he gave us in front of the camera also. I think all the guests felt really comfortable with him. Even though we were in no rush, we got our photos back within days!! Incredible. Loved our memories that were captured by Cesario! Highly recommend!

We booked Stephanie to photograph our wedding, which was initially due to take place in June of 2020. After COVID-19 hit we decided to postpone and eventually cancelled the wedding. We'd waited a year and a half and decided to take the City Hall route. Through the entire process, Stephanie was professional, flexible, and extremely accommodating. On short notice, she happily agreed to join us at city hall for our wedding photos and also act as witness. Stephanie showed up the morning of our wedding ready to trek through the snow and get all the best photos. She photographed our walk and train ride to City Hall. We felt comfortable and at ease while she took our photos in spite of our discomfort in front of the camera. Her photos came out great and we couldn't be happier with our choice to hire her for our wedding.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

I actually met Michelle through one of my friends (as Michelle was the photographer for her wedding!!). I knew as soon as I saw my friends wedding photos that I wanted her to do mine as well. My husband and I absolutely loved working with Michelle. She was extremely easy to communicate with (which was important to us as we were planning a wedding out of state) and was extremely prompt her replies when we had questions! I cant even begin to tell you how much I appreciated having her there as she was able to help keep everything running smoothly and on time! She had such great energy on the day of the wedding it made taking pictures very easy (even when I was super nervous!). She also has the best dad jokes to help ease everyone up if needed! I was extremely impressed by the quality of the photos, the timeliness in which we received them, and the communication we had with her after the wedding. She beautifully captured amazing memories from the greatest day of our lives!!

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.

I'm Karen, a wedding and portrait photographer based in New York City but can travel anywhere! I've been working as a photographer full time for the last 10 years and in that time have managed to photograph over 200 weddings or something like that. I'm from Virginia originally and was always interested in photography and got my first big break at a friend's wedding! I moved to NYC in 2011 and live in Brooklyn with my partner Austin and our two dogs Blanca and Bort. We have a very large record collection and love trying natural wines!

We were really nervous about choosing a photographer because we were came to NYC from overseas to get married and we didn’t know many people to give us personal recommendations. We were so happy to have found Karen who provided us with a fantastic photography service at a reasonable cost. She went above and beyond to help us and even found us a great videographer at an extremely good price. Karen was super friendly and relaxed which was perfect, she was a pleasure to have with us on the day. The photographs that Karen produces were beautiful and we love them. We also found Karen’s communication to be excellent and we felt in very safe hands throughout. No matter what the size or style of your wedding we would highly recommend using Karen as your photographer. Thank you Karen!

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. 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.

Where to begin? Jaci is the absolute best! Aside from her truly next level incredible talent, she's also a phenomenal human being. We hired Jaci as our wedding photographer in early 2020. When we postponed our original November 2020 wedding date, Jaci was so amazing! She helped us re-book her for our new date and we used the original date to take engagement photos. She had so many ideas & suggestions and we had a blast running around Prospect Park. It was such an amazing and joyful way to commemorate our original date. When we finally got to have our wedding in September 2021, Jaci captured our whole day so beautifully and was also just an amazing energy/presence throughout the day. She worked so beautifully with all of our vendors & was just so helpful in every way. I honestly don't know how she managed to be in every place at once! It took us weeks to go through the photos she sent. Every time we went through the album, we found a brand new gem we missed the first time. I'm pretty sure we still haven't fully discovered every bit of Jaci's magic in those photos! There are so many small moments that I wasn't around for (even the ones I was around for & couldn't remember) and I'm so incredibly grateful to have those photos. The ones of my grandmother looking at the family wedding photos we had on display & realizing that one of them is her's are so perfect that I don't even have words to describe how much they mean to me. Her uncanny ability to capture the candid moments was the reason we initially wanted Jaci to be our photographer but the posed photos are just as incredible. Every single one looks & feels so natural and genuinely captures the emotions of the moment. Jaci is really just the best! That's all there is to say. If you need a photographer for your wedding/engagement/anything, look no further and book Jaci.

Seeing and envisioning the way things will appear photographically for the past 20 years, is a finely tuned skill that I have made into my career.  With every wedding and photoshoot all of my experience with light, composition, and how surroundings and subjects will translate in a photograph is intricately woven into every shot. Weddings are my creative playground combining three of my favorite types of photography into one:  portraiture, lifestyle, and photojournalism.  I love jumping into your day armed and ready to capture the most extraordinary fleeting moments in real time.

I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan is freaking amazing and was such an awesome person to work with on our wedding day! We booked an engagement shoot with her a year out before our wedding and as soon as we met her we knew she was the one we would hire for our wedding. First of all she is so nice and made us feel so comfortable during our engagement session, my husband and I never took professional photos before but she guided us through and even with our silliness and laughing the photos came out so incredible. Fast forward to 10.29.23 our wedding day Jordan was a rockstar, we had a jam packed day with two ceremonies and she literally was able to capture all the key photos we wanted, we got so many different vibes and I cannot be more happy with how our day went. When it started to rain we got amazing photos indoors and when we were outside she knew all the right spots to capture amazing photos. Jordan is such a great person to have around and is so easy to work with, I highly recommend her to everyone! (My best friend & MOH just booked Jordan for her 2025 wedding!)

When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar.

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.

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.

Several years ago I had the privilege to see behind the curtain to just how magical the portrait process and experience is with Jillian + Ryan of With Love & Embers. We were all working together on a progressive elopement that occurred in parts along a waterfall hike, so in between the stop for vows, or exchanging of rings, I got to see how they create comfortable and visually powerful photos with their couples. Nobody was feeling awkward or posed, Jillian + Ryan have a way about them that builds rapport and trust with their couples--people know that the photographer thinks they are beautiful...the setting is beautiful...their connection and relationships are beautiful and worthy of fine photography. In all the years that I've watched photographers work and also my experience being photographed, I can't stress how important it is for the people being photographed to not only feel comfortable but also feel confident that they are at their best. With Love & Embers is one of my favorite photography teams, they don't just take pictures, they create beautifully composed moments of connection and then photograph that!

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.

DJ's exceptional skills as a photographer not only met but exceeded all my expectations, making my wedding day an absolute dream come true! From the very start, DJ's warm and personable nature put everyone at ease. It was like having a girlfriend by our side, capturing every precious moment. As the day unfolded, her talent shined through, beautifully capturing the essence of our emotions and the magic of the occasion. The candid photos DJ captured are my absolute favorite! DJ's ability to handle even the most rambunctious of groomsmen was nothing short of amazing. She effortlessly navigated through the challenges of the day. Even with a group of boys who had indulged in a bit too much, DJ skillfully guided them into perfect poses, resulting in some of the most cherished and candid shots. Throughout the entire process, DJ displayed a level of patience and professionalism that left a lasting impression. She expertly orchestrated the wedding party, ensuring everyone was organized and ready for their moment in front of the camera. The way she managed to capture everyone’s personality while maintaining the cohesiveness of the group shots was truly commendable. There was not one person missed! DJ made sure I had a photo was each family member, which I am extremely grateful for. It felt as though DJ was more than just a photographer; she became an integral part of our wedding day, seamlessly blending in with our friends and family. The rapport she built with us was evident in the photographs! In the end, the pictures surpassed anything I could have imagined. DJ's talent and dedication to her craft have given us a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her ability to create such a relaxed and enjoyable experience on our special day truly made all the difference. I can wholeheartedly say that DJ is not only an incredibly photographer but also a wonderful person, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who can turn their wedding day into an absolute masterpiece!

I aim to ensure you feel exceptional and natural when I capture a piece of your life's journey in a fun and colorful look. Celebrating the next chapter in your life should be one you constantly want to look back at and smile. Finding the right photographer to work with is essential. Trust and comfortability make the dynamics between the client and the photographer create magic. Like looking for the perfect pair of shoes to an outfit. It makes you look great, feel confident, and represent your style.

Tell Your Stories went above and beyond! My first impression working with Charlie is that he is extremely communicative. Him being proactive really put my nervousness about photography at ease. Secondly, I feel like Charlie captured us perfectly. I get really nervous about photography because I don't know how to pose, so I was expecting it to be an awkward shoot. But wow! Everything felt very natural, and Charlie just knew when to take the shots. We had a planned to take pictures in a park and those turned out wonderful, but Charlie also asked if we could stop downtown for a bit to take a few more pictures. We have a small downtown and absolutely adore our city, and I think those pictures turn out just a good if not better than the location we had initially chose. There was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to work our wedding as well. And of course thus far his level of professionalism has far exceeded any of our other vendors. It's nice to take a back seat in wedding planning for once. Thank you, Charlie and Tell Your Stories!

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

My wife and I met Sarah a few years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. She did such a great job that we had to have her do our wedding as well. My sister is getting married next year and I told her not to bother interviewing any photographers other than Sarah. You will not find anyone who will do a better job. We absolutely love the way our wedding photos came out. Sarah is so creative and has such an artistic eye which made our pictures unique and very cool. She was so awesome to work with. She really cares about her work and her clients and it really shows. In addition to being a great photographer, she is very sweet and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her which makes a huge difference! Not to mention, a photographer that can make you smile and laugh makes for some pretty great pictures! Her communication was clear and quick from the very beginning, which is super important in the wedding planning process. She really listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t want. I could not recommend Sarah more. She went above and beyond all expectations and by the end, we are happy to call her a friend! If you are planning a wedding/event, do yourself a favor and call her!

Eugene did an amazing job for us at our wedding shoot. Helping with all aspects of the shoot, getting the most out of the location, and the pics with individual family members. He got fantastic pics with our 1-year-old son, which isn’t easy. He was polite and courteous throughout kindly guiding us to get beautiful pictures that we treasure. The end result was much more than we could have imagined!

John Castillo Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Their eye for timeless, artistic, and vintage style is truly unmatched in this area! I personally love how they pay attention to the small details - some of the things normally missed in wedding photography. The detail shots were some of my favorite photos from the wedding! John is definitely great to work with! I will definitely be recommending them to all other brides!

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer. Learning on the field like back in the day is the best way to learn everything about photography. Starting a Zola is the first step to branch from a freelancer to a business owner / photographer. Im starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

It was great working with him on our special day. Once he stepped in our hotel room he did exactly what we discussed the day before and more. Made everybody happy with the level of professionalism he showed on our special day. After the wedding he sent us the pictures two weeks after and we decided to have a wedding album done and he was about to wrap that up quick as well. Very professional and great team to work with on our special day.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Nicole is absolutely amazing! She did our wedding photos and she made it fun while still getting beautiful pictures! We highly recommend her to anyone getting married!

Anj Photographer

Ridgefield, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Long Island City, NY

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

My wife and I worked with Jess over this past year for engagement photos and coverage of our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). The engagement photos were done in NYC and the wedding was at a venue outside of Philadelphia. It was a true pleasure to work with Jess. She is extremely skilled, knowledgeable, communicative, and prepared. The quality of the work in her portfolio speaks for itself but I cannot overstate how thrilled my partner and I are with the photos. She managed to capture so many lovely moments and the spirit of the day. The intimacy and beauty she brings out with her portraits are astounding—I have never felt more comfortable being in front of a camera and I have never loved the result so much. The variety of the media brings a beauty to the detail I didn’t think I would care about—the place settings, the venue, and everything else look great and are considered in composition and lighting. None of the photos delivered are there just to check a box. The amount of preparation and work she puts in for each job is evident just by the uniquely specific nature of her questionnaire—her questions were helpful for us in planning! She was always quick to email us back when we had questions for her and helpful in ways we never would have expected—good news if you don’t know how to pin a boutonniere, Jess does (and she brought extra pins). The amount of choices for any type of wedding vendor is overwhelming. You would be lucky, as we were, to choose Jess.
