I would highly recommend NJ wedding studio for wedding photographers! We couldn't be more happy with our photos and how natural they look! The two photographers, Mike and Irene, kept the photos going to make sure we got all the family photos but that we also had time to enjoy and relax before the ceremony. All of the shots were relaxed and fun. They listened to everything we wanted and captured great photos during the reception without people even noticing they were around! It was exactly what we were looking for. I personally don't like a lot of photos and Mike did an excellent job at managing the photos and making them fun through out the day, knowing you need to take a lot!

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! 🙂

We cannot recommend Tati and Roman enough - not only did the photos turn out gorgeous, but also Tati and Roman are both so lovely to work with. They made the entire experience fun, thoughtful, and personalized. Even our family was commenting to us about how much fun they had with the process. Thank you, Tati and Roman!

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 was the photographer for our NYC City Hall ceremony in June 2022. We had the most incredible experience with her! Before we met, she worked with us to decide on the right package and our vision for the photos. On the day, Marilyn was super helpful with the City Hall procedures and knowing what to expect. She is so friendly & her energy is amazing!! She helped us feel so at ease. My husband & I are not at all comfortable in front of a camera, but we felt super relaxed and confident thanks to Marilyn. It was evident in how the photos turned out as well. They were so incredible. We received our sneak peek within just a few days, and all of the photos within three weeks. We can't recommend her enough!!

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
Working with Christopher was an absolute delight! Our photos turned out more stunning than we could have imagined, and the entire process -- from our initial contact with Christopher to finalizing our wedding album -- was so easy, and a joy. That's thanks to how friendly, thoughtful, and organized Christopher and his team were. Before the wedding, he took the time to get to know us and what we wanted our photos to capture. On wedding day, he fit in seamlessly and gave us helpful direction without being imposing at all. He and his team captured the emotion and energy of the day perfectly. We cannot recommend Christopher more highly!

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.

Justin is a fantastic photographer, but more importantly, he's really fun to work with. He's expert at posing and making his subjects feel fantastic! I'm a fellow wedding photographer and have worked with him on numerous occasions; he also took my maternity photos when I was 41 weeks pregnant - and made me feel beautiful!

I could not be happier the I hired Thalia Photography for my wedding day. Thalia is truly amazing at what she does. Not to mention she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I was so scared picking a photographer. I had a hard time finding a photographer in my budget. thalia was one of the few who was closest to it, and still she worked with me on pricing which i was so grateful for. The options are endless out there, but as soon as i came across thalia’s page I knew I had to have her for my big day. Her photography style is gorgeous and she the process so easy from the moment I contacted her. She was quick to reply and really got to know us. She asked us to fill out a survey and we made sure we were a right fit for each other. I think thats super important and not all vendors do this. I am so not a photo person and neither is my husband, so we wanted someone who was okay with that and also could make us feel comfortable. From day one she did just that. She is such a professional but also has a comforting homey feel to her. I feel as if I have known her for so long. She fit right in with my bridal party from our stupid movie quotes to the music we played all day. It was honestly like having another friend in the bridal suite with us. My wedding was at a country club and i really did not want it to look like we were on a golf course and wow did she deliver. she was able to edit out every golfer in sight and let me tell you there were a lot that day. Once we got the photos, I was even more amazed by her. I am obsessed and have not stopped looking at them since i received them. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. Thalia basically does it all and im sure i will be using her in the future!

Sean from Portraits by Sean photographed our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding and we couldn't have been happier with his work quality and professionalism. He was very flexible and very responsive to our needs. What stands out to me is how much he captured of our guests interactions that we weren't able to see or participate in because we were busy with so many other guests. When we look at the photos, we feel as though we are getting a 360 degree view of the event from the perspective of our guests. We were so pleased that we hired him the following year to photograph my mother's retirement party. I would highly recommend Sean!

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.

Hi, I'm Celeste, I'm from a small town in Spain. Now leaving in NY. I have spent the last seven years getting to know new humans and documenting their stories and connections. How they got into that point of their life, and what makes them light up. I feel it is quite a responsibility and a significant honor to be able to create this legacy for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer! My spouse and I knew going in that we would need a photographer who was comfortable taking charge. We are not super photogenic and lacked a vision for our wedding photos. Our families can also be a bit difficult to wrangle. However, Celeste navigated it all flawlessly. Nothing–including torrential rain and one of our fathers going missing for a surprise outfit change–phased Celeste. Celeste is also a lovely person. We met Celeste the year before our wedding at the wedding of two of our good friends, so we knew going in that she would be a fun and calming presence. She lived up to her reputation; easygoing, kind, and quick to respond to emails, she made the entire experience stress-free. Two days after the wedding we received a “sneak peek” file from Celeste of over 100 shots. We were floored by how well they came out and how quickly she was able to get them to us. About 8 weeks later we received the full album and we could not have been happier. Celeste’s photos captured the vibe we did not even know we wanted–bright, fun, light-hearted and silly. We wholeheartedly recommend Celeste for her talent and skill, adaptability, and the overall joy she brought to our wedding day.

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!

We couldn’t have made a better choice for our wedding day than hiring Michelle Kay to be our photographer! When we first started looking for a photographer, we were both a little nervous, not having done professional photos before. From the first phone call, Michelle made us feel comfortable and totally relaxed about it. We did our engagement shoot with her which I highly recommend, and not just because of the absolutely beautiful photos which got so many compliments. Michelle made us feel relaxed, kept us laughing, made the day enjoyable and was even totally patient with our barking and excited pup and ended up getting great shots of her as well. Leading up to the wedding day, we had no stress at all when it came to planning for photos because Michelle was on top of everything. By the time we finally got to the wedding day, she honestly felt like a friend. Among the chaos of the day, her personality was so calming and she kept us smiling and having fun the entire time we were taking pictures – and everybody felt that way! Of course, our wedding photos came out absolutely perfect and I tear up from looking at the amazing moments she captured. Michelle- you were awesome and I cannot thank you enough for so perfectly capturing our day!

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We decided to do a last minute baby moon in the Miami area. I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to get a photoshoot. However, I was a bit worried about finding a photographer on short notice, especially between Christmas and New Years. I reached out to several photographers and Ledd Lens was the only company that promptly responded, replying to me within ten minutes, From the very start of our conversation, Andre was exceptionally professional, responsive, and approachable. He was very flexible with my last minute request and accommodating to my asks. I knew right away that he would be a fantastic choice. When the day came the weather did not cooperate and Andre was able to flex his schedule to a time that was not rainy, which was much appreciated. He assured me that this would be a positive experience regardless of the weather. And the photo shoot went fantastic! His ability to choreograph and capture a scene is unparalleled. You could feel the enthusiasm and passion he has for his work, and that is reflected in the final product. Andre did a great job of quickly editing and delivering the photos. We absolutely love how they turned out and cannot recommend Andre and Ledd Lens enough!

My husband and I got married in June of 2022 and couldn't have been happier that Eddie was there to capture our special day! I was a little stressed over the timeline of the day and getting all the photos that I wanted, but even from our pre-wedding phone call, Eddie took all that stress away and I knew everything would run smoothly (and it really did!). Throughout the entire day, he stayed calm , cool and got every shot that I could have hoped for. He was punctual and had a very comforting demeanor. Our photos came out better than we ever expected, but most of all, Eddie made the entire day stress free with his great personality and sense of humor. My bridesmaids to this day- still talk about how much fun and how many laughs we had with Eddie the morning of the wedding. Never one moment of awkwardness. That is something I will never forget!

Our wedding day in Central Park was an absolute dream, thanks to our amazing photographer Amy! We couldn't have imagined our day without her. She was extremely professional, very organized, and most importantly brought a really positive energy. She was so easy to work with from the interview to the wedding day itself, which was really important to us because we were organizing the wedding from Canada. Amy is so experienced and really put us at ease. She was great at getting everyone together for photographs and getting the kids to smile by saying something silly. All of our guests loved her. She also anticipated our needs and just knew the perfect time for a snack or a break. Amy has a great eye for the most beautiful pictures. We knew this from her portfolio but it's really cool to see this in action. She would catch the smallest details, like a water bottle, or a brightly coloured jacket, or people in the background. She scouted the most beautiful locations for us and it was really cool watching her frame the perfect shots. And when we got the pictures back, they really were perfect! Amy's greatest talent is capturing amazing candid moments and people's unique personalities. And because she puts people so at ease, she gets the best photos out of them, even if you're a little camera shy. Amy made our day into something truly extraordinary, and we couldn't be happier with the memories she captured for us!

We booked Shelby after checking out her Instagram and website portfolio. Initially, we were going to use her for the proposal but due to timing ended up using her for our engagement photos. Shelby was incredibly sweet and responsive throughout our communication. No question was too small, and she helped us solidify our location based on the vibe we were looking for. On the day of our pictures, Shelby was very good at helping us relax and ensuring we had fun. We were both a little nervous as we didn't know what to expect but the time went by so quickly, and our photo session was so fun and romantic. Shelby is hilarious, sweet, compassionate, and high-energy. We completely trusted her vision and we were rewarded with wonderful photos for it. She sent over a preview incredibly fast and those pictures were gorgeous! She truly captured the essence of our relationship in her photography. We received our full album a month or so later and are so happy with how the photos turned out. Our friends and family LOVE them and were so impressed. You can genuinely feel the love jumping off the screen, as well as the overall New York energy. If we hadn't hired a photographer for our (CA) wedding by our session, we would have hands-down hired Shelby for that as well. That being said, we look forward to taking pictures with her again! Without a doubt - hire her! You won't regret it.

My husband and I were supposed to get married May 16th 2020 in-front of all of our closest friends and family. Once COVID-19 was in full swing, reality set in that our wedding was not going to go as planned. As our date was confirmed changed and our photographer no longer was available, we were on the search. One morning I came across Lindsey’s profile on Instagram and messaged her right away. We hopped on a FaceTime call with Lindsey that week and we knew she was perfect for us. We vibed like we had been best friends for years and we trusted her every decision along the way. It was very important to us to keep May 16th as our date and we loved Lindsey's 2020 motto “get married now party later.” Lindsey essentially planned our entire lighthouse elopement for May 16th from beginning to end. She went out hunting for locations and we trusted her to find the perfect one. (And of course she did). She went out of her way to watercolor our invitations adorably and other little details that made our day special. Lindsey handcrafted memories for us to share forever. I would recommend Lindsey to any couple out there looking to Elope. Especially a COVID bride; finding Lindsey is what got us through wedding planning during this pandemic!!

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.

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 an amazing photographer from start to finish. Not only was she extremely organized and extremely responsive she had a very very solid process in place and it made us, a pair of neurotic newlyweds, feel completely at ease. She takes really amazing candid shots as well as is really good at giving direction when you want a photo that is more composed. Her flexibility also helps us relax especially given the day itself so hectic. The most incredible part is really actually the fact that we didn’t meet her in person even until our wedding day due to Covid and she still did a stellar job & took the most amazing photos for us that we will definitely cherish for very long time to come.

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tom and Lexi are just the best! First, we had a fantastic engagement photo session at Ithaca Falls and Cornell Botanical Gardens in October – they really put us at ease in front of the camera and we had a ton of fun, and received amazing shots that we used for our Save-the-Dates. Fast forward to our summer (August) wedding day at The Treman Center – Tom & Lexi efficiently arranged our first look (Lexi even arranged an impromptu “pre-first look” with the bridal party, prior to bride/groom first look, which was adorable!). We took all the shots we wanted to take and then some, both our pre- and post-ceremony photos (which were a blast) were captured super quickly/efficiently (but it didn’t feel like we were rushing) – so we had ample time to enjoy hanging out with our guests during cocktail hour. Lexi and Tom suggested an amazing night time silhouette shot that looks spectacular (in lieu of our sunset photo idea which didn’t happen due to rain/clouds). We received our sneak peak of both the engagement session and wedding day within 48 hours, which really held us over as we eagerly awaited seeing the full galleries. From our wedding, Tom & Lexi put together a beautiful slideshow of selected shots set to the sweetest soundtrack, which was a ton of fun to watch and relive the day until the final full portfolio was ready. The final online gallery was sorted into specific albums for different parts of the day which made it really easy to browse, and is easily shareable. One guest (the bride's brother) commented, “These are honestly the best wedding photos I've seen” and so many other guests commented on how gorgeous all the photos are; we can’t wait to share prints with our family and wedding party. We are seriously amazed. Tom & Lexi truly captured the love and happiness felt during our special day -- we keep looking at them and thinking, how did you capture everyone so perfectly, allowing their personalities shine through? How were you both in 1350831 different places at once and yet totally able to blend into the background? How do you guys keep raising the bar with each additional peek at our photos?? We are so grateful we chose you as our photographers!!! Thank you Tom & Lexi!

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.

The day of, she brought the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding day— calm, joyful, patient, and light. She made the more intimate and planned moments fun and easy, and was so subtle while capturing candids that she practically blended into the scenery. She snuck photos of some amazing moments! Our guests also loved her vibe— she folded into our party so organically that we invited her to stay after hours. Following the wedding, Celia was prompt with sending the edited photos and she really delivered! My wife and I were so delighted to see how many details she documented when we didn’t realize anyone was watching, and how well she captured the emotions of the day.

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.

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.

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.

Christian and Emilio were an absolute joy to work with from our exploratory communications, to the day of our wedding, and the delivery of our photo's and video. We are forever grateful to have them be apart of our special day. They listened to exactly what we asked for. We didn't want a lot of the typical wedding shots and wanted more candid photos. Not only did they deliver on that, some of the more staged photo's that we thought we didn't need, once we saw the outcome, we were happy that they worked a few of those in the mix ;-). Christian and Emilio totally got our vibe and it translated beautifully in photo's and our video. Our friends and family are still raving about it! Listen, we all know that sticking to a budget while wedding planning is necessary yet one of the biggest challenges BUT they are willing to work with you. I'm not kidding. These gents truly have your best interest at heart and that includes giving you quality work within a budget that works for you.

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.

You can't do better than Ryan and Jill. They were very responsive and communicative from the start. They are incredibly down to earth people that feel like they've been your friends for years. Don't worry about being awkward in front of the camera with them. They don't pose you, but they have little games you play with your partner that put you two in the love zone for them to expertly capture. They excel at capturing raw emotion and telling the natural (unposed) story of your wedding day. I found it so hard to narrow down which prints we put into an album and printed to display in our home because photo after photo was so beautiful. Their work is pure art. We cannot recommend these two enough!

Hi there! I'm Bryan and I can't wait to capture the beauty of your love and the joy of your big day. I've been photographing weddings for nine years and love working with couples interested in authentic moments and stunning portraits. From your getting ready details to your final send off, I blend in seamlessly and document the day like a friend, keeping it fun and stress free. 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.

The photos Bryan took on our wedding day are special. Bryan is one of the vendors from our wedding day that really stood out. He wasn't just a photographer at the end of the day he felt like a family member or a long time friend. He tries really hard to make you feel comfortable and it definitely shows in his photos. He's not in the way when it's important and the fact that he's taking pictures isn't distracting. (Perfect for the ceremony) Bryan is super fun, we now have a few pics of him dancing with us! Years from now we'll get to look back at those photos and laugh. I love that he joined in, it was way better than having someone hide in a corner and take photos. It made the experience way more enjoyable. If you're looking for someone who will capture those special moments and emotions that will transport you back in time , then Bryan's your guy.

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 :)

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I worked with Anj for our engagement photos in Spring 2023 and our wedding photography on September 30, and we are very happy with the results! Anj was kind, talented, affordable, and a pleasure to work with. We loved our engagement photos in Wissahickon Park. Anj spoke with us before both projects to get a sense of what we wanted, and she understood our desire for unpretentious, mostly candid, true-to-life yet elevated style in the photos. She was excellent in directing our families on the wedding day for posed family and bridal party photos in an unfamiliar location. Several of our family members told us afterward that they were impressed with her organization and clear directions she gave them. And she suggested we have a friend do a video of our first look while she photographed it, which was the best decision we made. The moment was intimate and we forgot she or anyone else was in the room. The pictures of this turned out so well too! She took pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids and was well-liked by everyone there including the hair stylists and my little niece. I was really nervous in the beginning of the day and she really helped me feel centered. And towards the end of the night, Anj even helped instruct us how to cut our wedding cake when we couldn't find a staff person at our venue to do so - while taking photos of us at the same time! To summarize, she gave us exactly what we wanted, was friendly and efficient, returned photos in very fast (about 4 weeks), and was very professional and calm. We highly recommend her wedding and engagement photography services!

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. Her kindness and energy was a beautiful addition to our day and the final images are spectacular.

I have been photographing and editing events since 2009 when I was lucky enough do this professionally. I love shooting Engagements, Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Portraits and other Special Events and get to work with other wonderful, and creative photographers and videographers. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do something I love and have passion for! I work primarily in the tri-state area, but love to travel and have photographed in many other states.

It was such a joy to have Elana photograph our small intimate wedding. She made us instantly feel comfortable and at ease. She captured so many beautiful moments and we love looking at our pictures. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple who is planning to get married. My partner and I loved having her on our special day.

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just a few minutes into our first conversation with Judson, we knew she was our wedding photographer. She was great to work with — very easy-going, fun and the utmost professional who has a fantastic eye and the patience of a saint for our ... always sort of "extra" family — and dog, Kona, who refused to cooperate with most pictures haha. My husband and I normally shy away from being in front of the camera, but with Judson's energy and personality, our discomfort quickly melted away, and we could just focus on having the best day of our lives. She even got us to dance atop one of the hills on Roosevelt Island, which ended up being some of our favorite pics! By the end of the night, it was like Judson had been part of our family forever. I know she'd be a great addition to your family and wedding, too. We cannot recommend her enough! She really listens to what you want and delivers the most beautiful memories.

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based right in Baltimore, MD. Originally from Greece. There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing laughter, love, and connections. I believe that everything happens for a reason

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we begin? Margarita is not only an astounding photographer, but a professional in every sense of the word. We met initially for our engagement photos and her guidance throughout the shoot was top notch. Her suggestions for scene and setting were superb. He bedside manner during the process, and her follow up and communication post engagement and leading up to our wedding left little to be desired. Day of, she expertly navigated various groups of people and her direction was powerful. She kept us focused when needed, got us excited when the time came, and throughout the process made us feel comfortable. We wish we could get married again JUST to work with Margarita. If you have yet to conclude your search for a photographer, look no further. We can not recommend her enough and not amount of words or accolades properly capture the mastery she has for her craft. Book her NOW!

Bethany was an amazing photographer and overall person to work with!! I knew when we first met with her that she just had a natural grace and ability to help us with our pictures. She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we did in Philly, and she knew the best spots to shoot so our pictures came out beautifully. On our wedding day, she traveled all over our location to take pictures - you can tell she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients and her pictures are FANTASTIC. She is amazing and our wedding wouldn't be half as good without her pictures and her help. Thank you Bethany!

Throughout everything Adam was amazing to work with, and the quality of his work is outstanding. He perfectly captured our day including all of the best moments and angles. Further, he went anywhere we wanted and was very can-do to get stunning shots that took a little hiking.

That is a gift that you will cherish for a lifetime and lifetimes after that.

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.

My (now) husband and I eloped in NYC and hired Juan to document the experience and I am so grateful we did!! Juan is the kindest, easiest person to work with and a wonderfully creative photographer. We spent the day taking photos in front of City Hall, Joe's Pizza, and the NY Public Library and time just flew by! We're obsessed with how our photos turned out and love that we get to look back on this day forever :)

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!
