“From the moment we met Anthony, we knew we were going to have the best experience possible for our wedding day. He has such an amazing, vibrant personality and brought incredible energy to every moment of the day. He instantly made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which made such a difference in both the experience and the final photos. Anthony truly has an eye for photography and knew exactly what shots to capture and where to capture them. He worked so naturally within our venue and hotel space, finding the perfect locations and lighting without us ever having to worry about a thing. Beyond being an incredible photographer, he also helped keep our timeline moving smoothly while still making sure my husband and I fully enjoyed every moment of our day. He was supportive, organized, calming, and genuinely so much fun to be around. He made sure to capture every shot I wanted and so many beautiful candid moments that I’ll treasure forever. Our videographer, Bogdan, was equally phenomenal. He worked seamlessly alongside Anthony the entire day, and together they truly felt like the perfect team. Bogdan was professional, calm, and incredibly attentive, always making sure every important moment was captured beautifully on video. He knew exactly what to do without ever making anything feel forced or overwhelming, and his calming presence made us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Timeless was absolutely incredible to work with from start to finish. They offer amazing packages with so many customizable add-ons, and their entire team is professional, flexible, responsive, and genuinely invested in making your wedding experience special. We recently received our final photos and videos, and I honestly cannot stop looking at them. I’m completely obsessed. Every photo and every video clip brings us right back to how perfect that day felt, and we are so grateful to have these memories captured so beautifully. I truly cannot recommend Timeless enough for your wedding day. Choosing them was one of the best decisions we made.”

When you hire Jamie you actually GET Jamie as your photographer on your wedding day! Why? 1. I LOVE photographing weddings! (I don’t want to send someone else to “do it for me” 🤪) 2. If you’re reading this, then you’re at the stage right now where you are researching individual photographers style, reading reviews showing their reputation, and scheduling a call to research their personality while sharing your vision. …. Now imaging doing all that work just for a “team member” or “an associate” photographer to show up on your wedding day? CRAZY RIGHT?! When you hire Jamie, your date is locked in FOR YOU, no unwanted surprises!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We are absolutely over the moon with our experience working with Lisa Blanche! From the very beginning, Lisa and her husband Pieter made us feel like more than just clients—they made us feel cared for, celebrated, and completely at ease. We are NOT naturals at posing for photos and were nervous going into this process, but they changed our whole POV and made it so fun for us. They’re so warm and fun to be around. They work with you and laugh with you. Their calm energy and kindness on our wedding day made such a difference, and they felt like part of the group with us. We’ve only received our preview photos so far, and they are stunning. Our friends and family can’t stop talking about them—every single shot feels like a piece of art! Lisa emphasizes they capture the moments, not just photos, and that could not be more true. The photos are so real and full of life and emotion—we already know the full album (which we’ll get in a few weeks!) is going to blow us away. Lisa and Pieter are total pros— organized, and skilled beyond words—but it’s their personalities and presence that make them truly unforgettable. We will actually miss them and hope to stay in touch! They even sent us the sweetest little care package when we first booked with them— just the best people ever. We didn’t book videography, but our in-laws did, and Justin (their amazing videographer) created a complimentary engagement video sample for us—and it was so beautiful. He was just as friendly and kind as the rest of the team, and we honestly wish we had added him to our wedding package too. She also brings her polaroid camera along and gets such fun candid photos. If you’re thinking about hiring a photographer for your wedding day — hire Lisa Blanche! You’ll get stunning photos, but more than that, you’ll get to work with some of the most lovely and thoughtful people out there. We’re endlessly grateful to them for capturing our favorite memories so beautifully. We are so happy- Thank you Lisa and Pieter 3”

I love creating beautiful photos and capturing moments and memories but more importantly I love to photograph weddings and engagements because I love marriage and the love it signifies.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Paul was fantastic! He was the perfect photographer to have for our wedding, and we’d chose him again in a heartbeat. He was reliable, organized, professional, but most of all, he was very kind! We immediately felt comfortable working with him the moment we started planning together. Wedding day, he was almost also like our wedding coordinator, something we didn’t have. He helped keep us in time, know what the next thing was, and even stay present to each moment. His execution of photographing and the details he captured throughout the day, truly exceeded our expectations. The quality of the photos were stunning, and our family and friends still rave about not only them, but also him as a photographer, over a year later. The photos came out regal yet soft, and we loved how timeless they came out to be. We had him for the morning to take portraits of the bridesmaids then groomsmen, during and after the ceremony, couples portraits right after, and lastly the beginning parts of the reception, which included entrances, speeches, dancing, and the cake-cutting. I grew up with a photographer father, and a Filipino family that lives and breathes pictures, so I definitely had a taste. Paul was the perfect fit for us, and we definitely recommend you chose him for your next event!”

Welcome! I’m Anushka (friends call me Nush/Nushy), a Digital and Analog photographer serving the greater New York City Metro area. I specialize in photography for couples, intimate events, the arts, and general portraiture. My work is guided by a simple belief: the most powerful images are the ones that feel true. Whether it’s capturing quiet in-between moments or celebrating bold expression, I focus on preserving effortless, authentic memories and timeless beauty that will resonate for years to come. Let’s create something real, together.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Anushka is a natural talent behind the camera. Her eye for light, composition, and story is remarkable and it shows in every frame. She photographed our wedding shoot right after our courthouse ceremony in New York before our big celebration in Italy this September, and she delivered exactly the fairytale vintage editorial look we wanted. We built a Pinterest board together and she turned that inspiration into a clear plan, sending a timed schedule with locations and transitions so nothing felt rushed. From the first message she was organized, responsive, and thoughtful about light and timing. It absolutely poured the day of our shoot, umbrellas and all, and she powered through the elements without missing a beat. She found covered spots in the park and beautiful corners of the city and kept the whole experience lighthearted and fun. We are not big on posing and she made it feel natural with simple cues and small adjustments that never felt forced, even while we were juggling umbrellas. Her ability to capture light is impeccable. She moves with ease from digital to film and from indoor to outdoor settings, and the gallery reflects that range. Colors are true to life, and the black and white images are timeless. Beyond the photos, Anushka is a joy to be around. She is bubbly and friendly, connects with everyone, and puts you at ease the moment the camera comes out. She managed the timeline smoothly, kept us present, and still caught the tiny in-between moments that feel so personal. The final gallery is cohesive, flattering, and exactly our vision, with thoughtful composition and detail. Professional, prepared, and incredibly talented, she is also a light to be around. We are thrilled and so grateful.”

From our engagement shoot to our wedding day- she captured all the important moments and little details. Our wedding day was a beautiful snowy winter wonderland, and Shelby handled it like an absolute pro. Not only did she embrace the snowy weather, but she made it feel magical. She captured the most stunning shots in the middle of it all. The way she used the snow made our photos look straight out of a fairytale. Beyond her incredible talent, Shelby was organized, supportive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. She helped keep everything running smoothly and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. When we received our sneak peeks, we were blown away. We love each and every picture and look at the album literally everyday. We are recommending Shelby to everyone we know. If you’re considering Shelby for your wedding, do it!

I’m a drummer, a mother of two amazing kids, and a proud owner of an 80lb Samoyed. My passion for photography is deeply influenced by my family legacy—my grandmother was a dedicated full-time photographer who spent her life capturing and hand-coloring her own images. Growing up immersed in her art has profoundly shaped my own approach to photography. As a photographer, I'd love to capture the journey of two people in love, telling the genuine and touching story of their life together. I strive to create images that convey heartfelt narratives and reflect the true essence of your relationship and the moments you share.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Finding Momo on social media was a total game-changer. I was instantly drawn to her documentary-style photography, which beautifully focuses on genuine moments and raw emotions. I wanted photos that would make our special day live on forever, and Momo delivered exactly that. From day one, working with her was incredibly easy—from the initial consultation to signing the contract and discussing our shot list. She quickly became the vendor I trusted the most, and that trust was not in vain; she was hands-down the best person we worked with for our entire wedding. On the wedding day, she actually arrived at our hotel before I did! Since we didn't have a wedding planner, I hadn't prepared perfectly for her, but Momo is a true professional. She made brilliant use of whatever was available, capturing stunning photos of us, our loved ones, and our accessories seamlessly. My husband and I are both quite shy and introverted, and the idea of being the center of attention in front of a camera felt incredibly daunting. But Momo has a magical way of easing all of that anxiety. Instead of forcing stiff, awkward poses, she gently guided us to just look at each other, breathe, and be present. She made us feel completely safe, relaxed, and happy. Because of her gentle approach, she captured our true selves rather than a performative version of us. The photos genuinely reflect exactly who we are and how our love feels. In fact, our friends keep telling us that every single photo looks like a gorgeous frame of a short film—there is so much cinematic storytelling and life in each shot. To top it all off, she was incredibly fast with delivering both the sneak peeks and the final online gallery, and was always responsive to our questions. Momo is generous, genuine, and truly invested in making your day as special as possible. We are deeply grateful for her and cannot recommend her enough!”

I help couples stay present instead of performing. For 25 years, I've photographed weddings for people who care more about connection than perfection. Most photographers pose you. I build rapport first and guide gently, because people look their best being themselves. Before your wedding, we meet to discuss what matters. On the day, I protect your time so you focus on your people. I find the light, prompt gently, and capture what actually matters. You get both film and digital. The photos feel true to who you are and how your day felt.

“We could rave for days about our overall experience with Laura and the end product photographs and prints we received. Laura's experience and professionalism were demonstrated pre-wedding with effective communication and outlining of expectations. She provided excellent advice which ultimately made the day of go much smoother. At the wedding and reception, we were impressed by how unimposing Laura was while still being able to capture the moments most significant to us, as well as the ones we didn't even know would be the most important to us until we saw them. When the fire alarms went off unexpectedly, she took it in stride, creating the most of the moment by placing us near the fire trucks and capturing some of the best pictures of the night. We sincerely and strongly recommend Laura for wedding photography and continue to be so grateful!”

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

“Carolina is in a league of her own. We initially came across her art while looking on Instagram for photographers for our wedding say. We were instantly drawn to her particular style and documentary approach. We wanted something that felt unique and still accessible and that would capture the story of the day and the emotions of the moment. Her service was exemplary. We began with an engagement shoot which she uses to get a vibe of us and what we're looking for. We ended up using these photos hor our save the date, and later the shots taken on the day for our thank yous. She has a very easy going style and makes you feel comfortable and forget that you're on a photoshoot. Her website and communications are incredibly easy to use and navigate and she's so thoughtful with surprise and delight moments along the whole journey. She was easily our favorite vendor to interact with. She always took the time to listen to any of our thoughts or answer questions. She worked with a second photographer and assistant on the day who were both lovely and attentive. Despite never having been to our venue, and having a jam packed schedule she jumped right in and worked confidently in the space. Again we forgot we were being photographed and just enjoyed the day. Delighted with the outcome. We're excited to continue working with Carolina and bring some optical cohesion to our lives!”

“Working with Daniel and his team was hands down the best experience I've ever had and would recommend him without any thought. Daniel is definitely a guru at his craft. During my consultation with him I explained I wanted to be relive the moment everytime I looked at my photos and he did just that. He suggested a few locations he thought would deliver what I wanted and he was right. Not only did he pay attention to the small details of the shots but he worked so well with my 2 year old whom I was nervous about cooperating during the session. THANK YOU Daniel for delivering and allowing my husband and I to relive our wedding day every time we look at out photos. This is definitely your calling.”
