Jessica Manns Photography

  • Photographer
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough stars for Jess! She absolutely CRUSHED our elopement photos!! From the moment I reached out to her I felt like I’d known her for years! The personal relationship she develops with you and her attention to detail and making sure your wants are not only met, but exceeded are mind blowing! Beyond happy we chose her for our special day!

Maya Lovro Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,200
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!

Kathryn Cooper Weddings 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & 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 unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Ryan is truly the jack of all trades, the absolute kindest human being, and incredibly professional. We are SO glad he was a (major!) part of our wedding day! He was super communicative when we had questions, helped give us some advice, and *!!!even learned a new song just for us!!!* We had just attended a friends wedding and the music was super unrelatable to my fiance (husband now lol) and our friends. We were bummed and worried - hopeful that ours would be fun and get people out there! Ryan was AMAZING. He curated the perfect playlist, set up THREE different locations to play, AND was super cool to honor all our specific wishes. 10 mins to the end I went to him and said eh we are tired such a long day, we can probably wrap up - he assured me he had some incredible songs for the last few, told me to rally- he DID. Ended the night on such a fun, high note. I would recommend Ryan over and over and over and over again. Not only did he totally rock the DJ/musician aspect, but he’s truly a kind person- which just really rounded out the whole experience. 10000/10 experience — thank you Ryan!!!

  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $450
  • Serves East Rockaway, NY

As a seasoned bridal makeup artist with over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I've had the honor of helping brides look and feel their most radiant on one of the most important days of their lives. From the bustling runways of New York Fashion Week to intimate editorial shoots, my artistry has been shaped by an eye for timeless elegance and a deep understanding of how to make beauty shine both in person and on camera. With a background in both economics and photography, I bring a unique perspective to my craft. I understand the artistry of light, composition, and how makeup translates in every setting.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first booked Shenyce through glamsquad for my bridal shower and it was the most amazing coincidence ever (minus meeting my husband of course). I had no real idea what I wanted besides a natural look with a light smokey eye and there, in my midtown hotel room, Shenyce brought it to life and then some. I received so many compliments on my makeup and I just felt so so beautiful. I was glowing and I really do think it was the confidence from my look. Afterwards, my mother was insistent that I have Shenyce do my bridal makeup. I felt a bit awkward having to tell my artist that I booked that she was being given the boot because I met someone amazing but knew if there was one time I had to be mean, it was to have the best for my big day. I stalked Shenyce and slid into her DMs and am so so happy she said yes! She drove all the way to Northern jersey to make my bridal vision come true. I felt completely confident with Shenyce at the helm. The end result was perfect. Having a caked on look where I was unrecognizable was my biggest fear. I felt like myself still and like I wasn't wearing too much makeup (I typically wear no makeup so that's saying a lot!). I was beaming even more than I was at my shower somehow. Everything also stayed on the whole night without and reapplication or touch ups even through the dancing and the summer humidity. The fact that Shenyce is just an amazing person too is just icing on top. You will be the best, most fabulous version of yourself with Shenyce!

I have been a client of Victoria’s for the past two years. Victoria has done both my hair and makeup for some of the most important events of my life. She recently was the main makeup artist for my wedding on 11/9/24. Almost immediately after I asked her to work my wedding, Victoria assembled a team to work my 18 person party. The most stressful part of my planning I thought would be makeup scheduling but Victoria absolutely took that task over and put me at ease. The smoothest part of my day was makeup and she ensured every single girl looked beautiful and was happy with their looks. She was my personal makeup artist the entire day and stuck by my side touching my face up whenever needed. I did not worry once how my pictures would turn out because I was so confident every moment she ensured her work looked beautiful. Victoria is a one of a kind person to work with. She truly cares about her clients and has a passion for her work that is unmatched. Whether she is doing your wedding or a smaller event , she will give you the same amount of effort 1000% and beyond because that’s just who she is! Working with her on special events has been such a pleasure and if you have not already booked ohsolovely makeup by now … do it!

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!

We really enjoyed working with Jamie- she was down to earth and really took the time to understand the vision we had for our photos. They came out fantastic!

Merry by Mia

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

We hired a day-of coordinator because although we wanted to own the process of planning the wedding, we did not want to be point persons for vendor questions, logistics, and issues on the day of the wedding. We chose Merry By Mia because we instantly felt like we were in good hands, were reassured by the fact that Mia herself had recently gotten married and knew firsthand what kind of stressors and wrinkles go into a wedding day, and because we were impressed with her podcast. We benefited greatly from working with Merry by Mia! We had a sounding board for questions throughout the planning process, making big undertakings (like finding and booking transportation for 120 people!) much much simpler. And of course, on the day of, we would not have rested nearly as easy if we hadn't known that Mia was there to represent our best interests when we couldn't be there ourselves. We also heavily relied on Mia to understand what we wanted/what was important to us and translate that to our other vendors, especially when we felt we weren't being listened to. This was invaluable to us. Overall, we were incredibly satisfied! From big planning moments down to helping me into my reception dress, the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly without Mia. I would absolutely recommend working with Merry because from my experience, Mia was reliable, understanding, and excited! It means a lot when vendors who live and breathe weddings still have the ability to get as excited over the details as you do. I would say to absolutely prioritize this expense in your budget. For me, I know that if I had allocated that money to any other line item I wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it because I would be dealing with so much unnecessary stress and wrangling without a point person. Mia went above and beyond, listening to the long list of very particular requests we had and made sure everything was perfect. We're so thankful to her! “
