Hayley went above and beyond anything we expected to make our dream wedding possible. She provided full service planning from when we got engaged every step of the the way up to the wedding day, including the rehearsal and dinner. She was constantly in touch with us making sure we had everything we needed done on time. She found the perfect venue based on exactly what we wanted.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are reading this, go book Dasha! The wedding photographer was the most important vendor for us. After talking to many photographers, we ended up booking Dasha and that's the best decision we've ever made. Through our engagement session, we got so comfortable in front of her camera and the photos turned out great. Ahead of the wedding, I had a final meeting with Dasha and you could tell that she cares about her couples and gives good advice on the timeline. On the wedding day, her professionalism and creativity made the day so easy for us, and we didn't need to give her a long shortlist because we trusted her. When we received the full gallery, we were so BLOWN AWAY. The editing style speaks for itself. We also loved the way she documented our special - it feels very natural and authentic. Many of our families and friends asked us who our photographer was, and we cannot recommend Dasha enough. Thank you, Dasha!!

Wow, just got our wedding film back from InstillWonder and I'm honestly speechless. They didn't just film our day, they told our story. The way they captured the soft glow of the sunset during our vows, the laughter during the best man's speech, and even the tearful hug from my grandma – it was all there, woven together so beautifully. The drone shots of our venue by the lake were breathtaking, and the slow-motion capture of our first dance under the string lights made it feel like a fairy tale.

Doorbell Barbers did an incredible job on haircuts for both my husband and me, as well as our groomsmen. Our hair has never looked better! Christian was not only an amazing barber but also truly kind and understanding of our time constraints, even accommodating some last-minute changes without any hassle. His pricing was more than fair for the quality of work and level of professionalism. The whiskey and cigar treatment made our groomsmen happier then ever, and the mini-facials were something that truly helped calm the nerves on the big day! What really stood out was how compassionate and flexible Christian was when unexpected, and incredibly tragic, circumstances forced us to postpone our wedding for a year. He handled everything with such grace and made the rescheduling process stress-free during a very challenging time. We couldn’t have asked for better service or a more thoughtful experience. Thank you, Doorbell Barbers and Christian, for making our big day look and feel amazing. Highly recommend!

We hired Bryan for our intimate courthouse wedding in New York City just before Thanksgiving, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!! From the start, Bryann was incredibly responsive and professional. Despite it being a simple, yet meaningful wedding at the courthouse, we still wanted to ensure the moment was captured beautifully. On the day of our wedding, Bryan came to our apartment and took pictures of us as we were getting ready for the big day. With our three friends in tow, Bryan followed the group through our neighborhood to the subway, to the Clerk’s Office for the ceremony, and then for some pictures at the waterfront. He was able to capture every moment along the way and captured the best NYC wedding pictures one could ask for. If you’re planning a courthouse wedding (or any wedding) in New York City, I can’t recommend Bryan enough.

I’m all about making you feel totally comfortable with my goofy humor, posing prompts, and love for catching those sweet, unscripted moments that show the true magic of your day.

If you’re looking for a wedding/event/engagement/anniversary photographer, Natalia is your girl! She is phenomenal. Me and my wife first used Natalia as our photographer for an engagement shoot in Brooklyn, NY. I, personally don’t feel like I’m very photogenic… so I was a bit nervous. I didn’t really know what to expect. Natalia, however, made me feel SO at ease during this session. She was able to give us enough direction so that we didn’t feel awkward posing, and the photos turned out beautifully! We then had her, along with another photographer and videographer photograph our WEDDING in Telluride, Colorado! We received all of our photos back from her, and they are simply breathtaking. I can’t put in to words, the emotion we both felt, looking through them. They took us back to that perfect day. We are very happy to have found her as not only a photographer, but a long-time friend. If you’re wondering whether or not to book her…. here’s your sign to DO it!

Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

DeVa Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication style was kind, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was exceptional - the photos she captured were absolutely beautiful and they were able to document all of the best moments of our special day, even in the midst of torrential rain. My company has worked with DeVa a few times and she is the sweetest, happiest, and most talented photographer. I would recommend Deva a thousand times over to any couple looking for stunning wedding photos and a warm presence on their special day.

Hello! My name is Fen, nice to meet you online! I’m a freelance cinematographer and editor. I split my time between shooting weddings and indie films. I enjoy doing both because I love the thrill of operating a camera and I love people and stories! I have shot almost 400 weddings and I edit everything myself. In my spare time I love swimming, hiking, skiing, traveling with my family, writing and learning all kinds of stuff. I’m very curious about the world!

I wasn't sure I'd do a wedding videographer but I'm so glad I did. She worked well with our photographer and captured our day so beautifully. Her delivery was also under 6 weeks! She was such a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend her.

I can't express enough how incredible Sarah and Peter at CityLux Studios are. Finding the right photographer was honestly one of the most overwhelming tasks during my wedding planning process. I wanted every moment of our day captured perfectly, and I can genuinely say CityLux Studios exceeded all my expectations. From the moment I started my search, they were the very first photographers I reached out to, and I knew from that first conversation they were the right choice. Sarah made such an impact on me from the very first phone call. She was incredibly personable, helpful, and immediately grasped the vision I had for our wedding. We worked together seamlessly from our engagement shoot, to our rehearsal, and then of course, the wedding itself. Every single photo turned out better than I ever imagined. Their photography style is absolutely stunning—elegant, timeless, and perfectly tailored to capture exactly what you want. They’re not only skilled but also intuitive, knowing just how to bring your vision to life. As a Type A bride with tons of questions, detailed vision boards, and a lot of ideas, I was a little anxious about making sure everything went smoothly. But Sarah was with me every step of the way, always available to make sure we were aligned and on the same page. Choosing to work with CityLux Studios was one of the best decisions I made for our wedding. They truly made the entire weekend feel special, and the photos are nothing short of breathtaking. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only talented but also genuinely invested in making your day perfect, look no further—CityLux Studios is everything you could ask for and more.
