Awarded Best of Zola
“Kenny was easy to communicate with from start to finish. His professionalism made our experience with a DJ from out of state comfortable. When asked to adapt to changes that needed to be made throughout the party, he exceeded our expectations. Kenny made our wedding reception something that we will talk about for years to come. All of our guests raved about our DJ. He knew how to incorporate every song choice and genre that was asked for. He had us dancing from start to finish. We can’t thank him enough, and not to forget his sidekick, his wife, thank you for making the trip, and for your help as well! We hope to use Kenny again in the future!”

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (49 reviews)
Astoria, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Marilyn made the entire experience of finding a photographer for our special day seamless. She was responsive and flexible, and her pricing tiers allowed us to work within our budget. Day of, she was amazing. She made my husband and me feel super comfortable and at ease. The portraits of us are outstanding! She got amazing candids at our reception and blended in with the other guests, making it easy to capture off-the-cuff photos. 10/10, recommend for your wedding, engagement photos, etc!”

  • Best for events with big guest lists
Awarded Best of Zola
“We had the pleasure of hosting our intimate wedding for just over 50 guests at the Renaissance Event Hall in May 2024. The event space is beautiful— although the surrounding area is a bit rough, it’s a space that’s large enough to really bring your vision to life. Originally, our ceremony was supposed to be held on the outdoor patio but after a “rain plan” rehearsal we decided to have the ceremony indoors to make use of the beautiful grand staircase. Affordable space— for NYC? Absolutely. Food— great! Bar— great! Staff— amazing! Shout out to Larry for the amazing lighting. Both Larry and Lisa went above and beyond to make sure guests were served, comfortable, and having a great time. My only wish was that there was a separate groom suite that’s apart from the bridal suite. Here we had to use a foldable partition to separate the bride side from the groom side. Also, our rehearsal was double booked with another wedding party the day before our wedding which was a bit disappointing having to wait and navigate around their rehearsal to complete ours. However, this just seemed to be a simple miscommunication between Lisa and her assistant which I’m hoping won’t be the case with another bride/groom. Overall, it was the perfect space to host our wedding. Lisa was such a pleasure to work with and had such great insights on how to bring together the event in a manner that made the best use of the space. Thank you to the Renaissance Event Hall team!”

Manhattan Wedding Photographer | Documentary Style by Ioana | Capturing authentic, documentary-style wedding photography in New York and Long Island. Originally from Transylvania, Ioana brings a timeless, European editorial feel to NYC elopements and luxury weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We absolutely loved working with Ioana for our wedding! From the moment we saw Ioana’s documentary-style work, we knew it was exactly what we were looking for. Her photos capture the feeling of our wedding so beautifully — not just the big, traditional moments, but also the little in-between moments that we never would have thought to ask a photographer to capture. My husband and I are both terrible at posing for photos and honestly hate feeling like we’re performing for the camera, so we really appreciated how naturally Ioana worked with us. She gave us the space to do our thing and never felt pushy or intrusive, while still making sure we got beautiful, more traditional photos of the two of us and our families. The balance between the staged portraits and the candid, in-the-moment photos was exactly what we wanted. Looking through our gallery, we keep finding photos that we didn't know how she was able to capture. She has such an incredible eye for the moments that might otherwise go unnoticed, and those ended up being some of our favorite photos from the entire day. Beyond the photos themselves, we genuinely loved having Ioana there with us. She's so easy to be around, made us feel completely comfortable, and fit seamlessly into the day. We are so grateful she captured our wedding exactly as it felt, and we couldn’t recommend Ioana more highly to any couple looking for photos that feel authentic, emotional, and truly like them.”

“Kara was a pleasure to work with! We booked her almost a year out for our September 2020 wedding. She always stayed in touch, and when the pandemic hit made sure to let us know that she is available to figure out solutions incase we cannot go through with our original plans. Kara was incredibly professional and gave us suggestions for poses, scouted photo locations, and met with us before our elopement. She was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our wedding to be smaller and then to an elopement all together. On the day of she came to photograph us on time, gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. It was like having a friend around, which meant a lot to us since we had o one but us on our special day due to COVID. We had so much fun shooting we didn't notice our time was up! She was so excited about our photos she send us sneak peeks within hours of our ceremony, while on her layover. Needless to say we were thrilled and amazed with the end photos she provided. She had the final gallery ready for us within the timeline she provided in her contract ( actually even earlier than we expected!) The photos were presented in an easy to access gallery where you can also print them or make them into an album. We are absolutely in LOVE with the photos she took of us! We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kara!”

“We're so glad we chose The Bonnie for our wedding. Living in the city we don't get to host people often and were looking for a venue with a warm and personal vibe, elevated without being too formal - we were so lucky The Bonnie is right in our neighborhood! Their event manager Tali is very flexible, calm, and easy to communicate with. She and the whole staff were amazing throughout the night, resetting the ceremony space into dinner space seamlessly and navigating around an enthusiastic dance floor late into the night. Not a glass was broken! They also let us use the bar TVs to share a slideshow and some videos which were a big hit with guests and made the whole event feel so personal. We booked the back garden, oak room, and snug area and had around 105 people. This was a good number for the space (max capacity was 120 which I'm glad we did not hit). We got lucky with the weather for mid August and it was low 80s during the day of our wedding. I was nervous about the heat in the garden but it was comfortable. I was also a bit nervous about the dance floor being cobblestone but it was perfectly fine and didn't stop anybody of any age! If you have eaten here you know the food and drinks are great. We particularly appreciated the ease of accommodating dietary restrictions. Their wedding menu has a nice selection of options and their executive chef Nick also customized a bit beyond that, offering us a gluten free dessert. Our one vegan guest got a vegan pastrami sandwich which was a hit! There was also more food at cocktail hour than I expected, with a couple people asking us if it was the dinner. This will sound weird but I was surprised how much fun I had. So thankful to everyone at The Bonnie for being so on top of everything and letting us enjoy the day!”

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

“We recently hired Colby to shoot our tiny Covid-friendly Catholic ceremony and had an amazing experience! I cannot recommend him enough. Our ceremony took place in a historic Catholic church with restrictions on how close a photographer could get to the altar. Colby was very respectful of the space and still managed to get incredible photos of the ceremony. Our handful of guests commented on how non-intrusive he was while still managing to capture so many special moments. After the ceremony we went to a local park to capture photos of just myself and the groom and these photos blew us away. He was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable considering we are not naturals in front of the camera! The candid pictures look so natural and not forced. The variety of poses, backgrounds and settings he chose were great for getting many options of photos we love. I highly recommend hiring Colby for your wedding during and after this crazy pandemic. He wore a mask the entire time, was so calm and collected, and we had a blast spending our wedding day with him. He even let us stop to take pictures with our pet cat ! (LOL) Amazingly, our fully edited album of photos was ready less than a week later! We will always treasure these photos and this experience during the crazy times of 2020.”

Ash & Rose is a two person live acoustic cover band that specializes in warm and expressive covers of favorites from yesterday and today. With a catalogue of over 50 love songs to choose from, Ash & Rose is sure to have the perfect soundtrack for your love story.

“Ash & Rose Live Music was an absolute highlight of our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was seamless, warm, and incredibly responsive—they made the whole experience feel personalized and easy. On the day itself, their performance was nothing short of incredible. Dan and I have been friends with Ash & Rose for years, dating back to our college days, which made it even more meaningful to have them bring that part of our relationship alive again. They performed my favorite song from the a cappella group Dan and Ash sang in together during college, and even reworked the ending to celebrate our “7 whole years” together. It was beautiful, personal, and unforgettable. They are not only two of the most talented singers I know, but also two of the kindest and most genuine people. That combination of talent and heart radiated through their performance and into every guest experience. My family and friends are still talking about how amazing, energetic, and joyful they were as a duo. You could see it on everyone’s faces as they rocked the house. (Just take it from me, the bride herself, in these photos.) Having Ash & Rose perform at our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made. They will treat you with the same incredible care, kindness, and talent they showed us, and they’ll make your day unforgettable. If you’re looking for wedding singers who can make magic happen, look no further than Ash & Rose Live Music.”

“Laura created the most delicious 3-tiered cake for our wedding this past weekend. She was so easy to work with and helpful from the start. Loved that we were able to take home a box of samples to try and taste in our own time instead of having to do it all in one short sitting at an in person tasting. We were able to choose different flavors for each tier. And when my florist didn't have food-safe flowers, Laura was also able to help source those for us to coordinate with the rest of our wedding flowers for a small extra charge. Overall fantastic experience and would highly recommend!”

Belinda answered every question quickly and gave the best recommendations, which made the whole process feel effortless and stress-free. Her energy was contagious and genuine, and the quality of her work speaks for itself—everyone loved them! all of her products are hand-made by her, plus she makes her own local honey which is so neat!

Jasmine and Pearl Events was born out of a love for going the extra mile to create moments that feel personal for friends and family - to be loved is to be known! Planning a wedding in the current climate can be stressful, so I choose to always lead with empathy and joy.

“I had the pleasure of working with Aishee as a photographer for a Coptic wedding in October 2025, and it was truly a great experience. Aishee is incredibly organized, responsive, and easy to communicate with. She’s quick to answer questions, flexible, and creates a very calm and comfortable working environment, which makes a big difference on a wedding day. What stood out to me the most was how intuitive she is with her couples. She really understands their vision and knows how to support it naturally. During the wedding, it was so clear how special her connection with them was. You could feel the trust they had in her, and that says more about her approach than anything else. I would absolutely recommend Jasmine to any couple looking for a planner who is both professional and genuinely invested in their experience.”
