I am so glad we used Mat as our wedding photographer. He is both professional but friendly and was able to make myself and my family comfortable while posing! His work is stunning, he knows what he’s doing!

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Hi there! I’m a candid and documentary-style photographer based in Setauket and serving all of Suffolk & Nassau counties —including both forks. My approach is rooted in cinéma vérité, blending warm, muted tones with light and airy edits to create timeless images. I love catching genuine interactions—those unscripted moments when you forget the camera is there—and the emotional glances from your families that make each wedding uniquely meaningful.

Awarded Best of Zola
When I was going through photographers, all the ones with the style I wanted were extremely expensive. All the other photographers in my budget had very outdated photography styles and had corny photos. JT is the only photographer I found that worked with my budget and had outstanding photos! My fiancé and I immediately booked him and we had beautiful engagement photos done. We recently received some wedding highlight photos and I couldn't imagine better wedding pictures! JT was with us from the beginning of preparation (around 12pm) till the end of our night (around 10pm). He was great to work with and my husband can't stop looking at the photos!

Patken Photographer 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves Brentwood, NY

Patken Photographer Inc established in Lindenhurst, N.Y is a family owned and operated photography studio. The ability to create stories, make subjects feel good about themselves and freeze history was beyond exciting to him. " We love the fact that people remember their lives through our eyes, our feelings, our emotions and everything we are as people

We first reached out to Patken Photography in October 2023 for our elopement photos in Long Island, and from that very first shoot, we knew we had found the right photographers for all our wedding events. They were professional, creative, and genuinely kind, making the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. They ended up capturing so many important moments for us—our engagement photos in Orlando, my bridal shower in Long Island, our Madhuram Veppu ceremony (a South Indian blessing), and finally, our two-day wedding in Orlando on 11/1/24. Every single event was beautifully photographed, and we’re so thankful we chose them to preserve these memories. Doug, Kevin, and Kenneth were incredible to work with. They struck the perfect balance between directing us for stunning posed photos and blending into the background to catch those natural, candid moments. You could tell they truly cared about capturing the joy, love, and little details that made each event special. We also decided to include their photo booth at our wedding, and it was a huge hit! Our guests had so much fun, and we loved looking through all the photos afterward. It added such a fun, interactive touch to the day, and the quality of the prints was top-notch. What really stood out to us about Patken Photography was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Whether it was just the two of us or a big family group, they created an atmosphere where we could relax and just be ourselves—and it showed in the photos. From start to finish, they were responsive, helpful, and so easy to work with. Any questions or ideas we had were met with enthusiasm and expertise. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we never had to stress about the photography side of things. The photos are absolutely gorgeous—better than we could have imagined—and we already can’t wait to work with them again for future milestones like pregnancy or family photos. They didn’t just take pictures; they gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for talented photographers who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to make your experience amazing, we can’t recommend Patken Photography enough. They were such an important part of our wedding journey, and we’ll always be grateful for their work!

We love weddings. To this day we still have just as much fun and feel the same excitement at every wedding as we did at that first impromptu engagement session all those years ago. This isn’t just a date in our calendar. We are beyond honored each and every time a couple chooses us to photograph the most important day in their lives. We are located in Stony Brook on Long Island.

We cannot say enough great things about Ashe Photography and the incredible team that captured our wedding day. Chris was extremely easy to work with from start to finish, and his partner Tyler was just as helpful, attentive, and professional. They also brought along a videographer partner who seamlessly fit into the team and was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. From the moment they arrived, it was clear how detail-oriented and dedicated they are. They took the time with every single photo, making small adjustments that ended up making a huge difference in the final images. Their attention to angles, lighting, and composition truly shows in the quality of the photos we received. We also really appreciated that they consistently asked for our approval before moving forward, ensuring the shots aligned perfectly with our vision. Chris and his team arrived very early and even researched the property ahead of time to find the best locations and backdrops at our venue. They worked exceptionally well with our other vendors, coordinating smoothly and helping one another throughout the day. Despite cold weather conditions, they remained upbeat, focused, and committed to delivering an excellent experience and stunning results. On top of their talent and professionalism, they are genuinely kind people and an absolute pleasure to have around on such an important day. As a bonus, they sent us preview photos almost immediately after the wedding, which we were thrilled to receive. If you’re looking for a photography team that is thoughtful, collaborative, hardworking, and truly invested in capturing your day beautifully, Ashe Photography is an outstanding choice.

I don't even know where to begin - Dani is simply amazing and if it were possible to give her a 10 star rating, I would. She not only captured my husband and I's intimate mountain top elopement, but her and Jed also followed us through out the rest of the day and photographed our reception that we held with family and friends. We are usually pretty awkward in front of the camera, but they made us feel so comfortable (even at 5am in the morning lol) and our photos prove it. Dani puts so much work into finding the perfect elopement locations and the most flattering lighting. My husband and I are BEYOND ecstatic with how our photos turned out - she captured who we truly are and how much love we have for each other. I can never thank them enough for how much work they put into our elopement and reception day. We are so happy to have these memories forever.

From the moment we started, he made the entire experience feel fun, comfortable, and effortless. He has such a natural way of guiding you through poses and moments that gently push you out of your comfort zone while still feeling completely authentic. When we received our photos, everyone we shared them with was absolutely blown away by how beautiful they turned out. Rafael is truly so talented. Booking him as our wedding photographer shortly after our engagement session wasn’t even a question. We wouldn’t want anyone else capturing our special day!

I love wedding photography. Every celebration is unique, but each one is a joy to capture. Of everyone you hire for your wedding, your photographer will be with you the longest—present from the morning preparations through the last dance—so it’s essential that they’re someone you genuinely enjoy being around. My goal is to create timeless, authentic images while keeping the day relaxed and fun.

We had such an amazing experience with our photographer and videographer. From the start, they were both so easy to work with—super professional, patient, and really calming throughout the whole day. Our photographer made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, which was huge for us, and never rushed anything. He paid attention to every little detail and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. His videographer worked perfectly alongside him—they were such a great team and everything felt so natural and smooth. They both went above and beyond to capture every moment, and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. You can tell they really care about what they do and about their couples. They didn’t even have horse experience but they were so amazing around my horses and the pictures were STUNNING! this is only a few from a PRE shoot! We are so happy we chose them and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Hi, it's Jenni, I am a couples and wedding photographer based in Connecticut. I love hikes and adventures, nature is my natural habitat and my biggest dream is to travel the world. I am hopeless romantic and I will probably shed a tear at every wedding I attend or photograph, so if you see me wipe a tear at your wedding no you didn't lol. I am also a dog mom and I love animals in general, my puppy means the world to me! I am a dedicated, passionate, fun and caring person and I put love in everything I do. I can't wait to work with you!

Jenni with J Maurer Photography was a dream to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication throughout the planning process was consistently kind, fast, and professional, which we really appreciated during a hectic wedding season. On our big day, Jenni rolled with the punches when bad weather forced us to change plans last minute. She kept us calm with her reassuring demeanor, all while snapping gorgeous photos that she delivered many of the very next day. We were thrilled to relive moments from our wedding as soon as possible thanks to Jenni's quick turnaround. Overall, Jenni is a consummate professional who clearly loves capturing special moments with her lens. Her beautiful, adaptive work shined through despite the weather challenges. We'd enthusiastically recommend J Maurer Photography for any couple seeking stunning, timely wedding photos.
