Professional, creative, award winning, highest quality Nikon digital photography for Long Island and New York weddings and engagements. I've been chosen as a "Top 10 New York" photographer and a "Best of Weddings" photographer.

From the minute we saw her photography style, we knew she was going to be great, but Khrys exceeded our expectations! She is kind, creative, and has an incredible eye for attention to detail - which was really important to us. She caught the candid moments, while also helping us feel natural in the more "posed" shots. Her ability to make us feel comfortable and almost as if the camera wasn't there is truly a superpower. She captured the exact look and feel we were going for for our save the dates, and the minute we got our sneak peek i was thrilled! She is truly so talented and so flexible with bringing the couples vision to life - she has an eye for the small moments, while also capturing those "big" moments. Could not recommend Khrys more - she is a rockstar!

I believe great photography is made when moments of humanity are captured, especially in just the right light. Weddings require a photographer who can capture it all: portraits, tender moments, unexpected moments, touching stories, warm family relationships, beautiful venues, dancing, and sometimes even sparklers! Photographing weddings is exciting, challenging, satisfying, and never boring! I'll work closely with you to make the best of it. ~ Tom

Tom was an absolutely AMAZING photographer! He was patient with all of the chaos ensuing in my parent’s home, he was down to earth, also, he was funny and so sweet! The photos that he took at our wedding are incredible, that you can see he has an artistic eye! He was on time for every occasion, and even wanted us to squeeze in a few more photos while the reception was occurring since the sun was setting! I saw that he worked really well with the videographer too! He was observant about everything. I am so glad I had Tom as my wedding photographer.

Hey! I'm Travis, the wedding photographer you've been looking for that keeps things relaxed and fun while capturing everything from the big moments, to the tiny in between details. Me and my laid back, easy to work with crew are here to document your day in every format from digital, to film, videography & vintage Super 8.

We were lucky enough to have Travis film our wedding on super 8 film and it is the most authentic and genuine content we could've asked for. Our only request was that the day felt like us and not like a photo shoot and Travis exceeded that request and provided us with a video that we can't stop watching and has us in tears each time. It's nostalgic, simple, and authentically us. We also had the vintage photo booth set up which was such a hit and allowed guests to have some extra fun off the dance floor. We can't recommend Travis and the Citrine team enough !!!

He blended in so naturally with our bridal party and family that it felt like he was part of the celebration — not just documenting it. And yet, he never missed a single detail. The lighting, the composition, the movement — every photo feels intentional, artistic, and timeless. When we received our gallery, we were completely blown away.

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!

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!

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you.

Matt and Lesley from Gelfman Photography are absolutely amazing. They have amazing communication, answering emails and messages very quickly. They are hardworking, honest, and produce beautiful photographs. When our wedding timeline got pushed back, they adjusted the schedule to make sure I got all of my important shots. Their prices are extremely fair, and they have made my whole wedding run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gelfman Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.

Danielle was so helpful, nice and sweet. They offered so much! We chose Tony, Hugo, Erik and Mike, they made the day so much fun and made everything so easy for myself and my husband! I’m so happy with my photos and videos. I would highly recommend ADA!
