What’s a Wedding Content Creator (and why you need one)? Hi, I’m Karina, and my role is to capture your wedding in the most personal way possible. Unlike traditional photographers or videographers, I focus on creating behind-the-scenes, candid, and social-media-ready content of your day. Think of me as your best friend with a camera—documenting the laughter in the bridal suite, the tears before the aisle, the spontaneous dance floor moments, and all the little details that make your wedding uniquely yours.

“Bitsy Lemon Studio was an extraordinary wedding content creator choice for our special day. Their communication was clear, easy and simple, which made the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work and talent is truly exceptional - they captured every moment beautifully, including all the little details I asked them to focus on, like the ceremony. Having a content creator there in addition to the main photographer was 10000% worth it, as they were able to capture so many amazing moments that I wouldn't have wanted to miss. We are thrilled with the final photos and could not recommend Bitsy Lemon Studio highly enough.”

We are a Queens-based community roastery that brings craft hot and iced drinks to the greater NYC area. Started with a mission to build community at our brick and mortar in Elmhurst, we expanded to do mobile so that we can be a part of building community through the connection of coffee throughout New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

“We loved having Elm Roastery at our wedding! My husband and I have a long history of fond memories and treasured conversations shared over a coffee, and we are so joyful that Elm was able to bring this to life and help us share this tradition with our loved ones. A highlight I want to note in my review is how professional and kind their barista was. The coffee enthusiasts of our bunch had so much fun asking questions and learning about their workflow and craft coffee process. Our friends and family also really enjoyed trying drinks that they may not have tried otherwise, and had only great things to say about them! Plus, coffeecake3. We also found their offerings to be at a great value. Their communication, attention to detail, and rates make it clear that their heart and passion is in the coffee and connection. They made a custom menu for us and, in addition to standard offerings, had decaf, alternative milks, flavor syrups, chai, teas, and hot cocoa available. There was absolutely something for everyone! The Elm Roastery coffee cart would be a lovely addition to any gathering, but for us personally, it was also a great way to offer something fun and new drink-wise after a late lunch as we did not have alcohol at our celebration. If you are also looking at throwing a sober wedding (or any other kind of wedding), I would highly recommend and consider having the Elm coffee cart! Elm Roastery is a Queens gem and they added such warmth and joy to our day. You should 100% message Peter. Like right now. P.S. you can preview their coffee at their cafe in Elmhurst so you don't have to just take my word for it!”

  • Serves Howard Beach, NY

Most couples who work with me take their relationship seriously, but don't take themselves too seriously. They're educated, do Wordle, read the NY Times and have a healthy sense of reality. Since 2011, I've been writing and performing personal, meaningful and refreshingly engaging ceremonies. Couples work with me in an easy, collaborative way. I take guest experience and your wishes very seriously. I have the ability to command a room, a writer's knack for shaping a story, an emcee's sense of timing, and experience at the most prestigious venues. My BFA in Acting (Boston University) and MFA in Creative Writing (NYU) serve me well.

“Working with Chris at Illuminating Ceremonies was truly a heartfelt experience. From the moment we first spoke, I could tell Chris was passionate about creating a ceremony that was a perfect representation of who we are as a couple. Chris took the time to get to know us and our personalities, and tailored the ceremony in such a thoughtful way that it felt so personal and special (our guests thought we had known him for years!). Their attention to detail and commitment to making our wedding day perfect was truly priceless. We felt so blessed to have them officiate our ceremony, which was filled with love, laughter, and a wonderful celebration surrounded by our fun-loving family and friends. We are so grateful to Illuminating Ceremonies for helping to make our wedding day an unforgettable experience.”

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I could not have asked for a better photographer in any respect. Maya is extremely communicative, warm, welcoming, and excellent at what they do. I was incredibly nervous selecting a photographer because I had no idea what I was doing. During my first meeting with Maya, they put me completely at ease and walked me through the process, their photography philosophy, figured out what my spouse and I would/wouldn’t like in our photos, and even helped us get a sense of how our day’s timeline would go. Since we planned the entire wedding ourselves, their help even from this first meeting was invaluable. Maya and their partner the day-of were an absolute blast to have at the event. Even the usual stiff family formal photos felt fun and organic with their guidance, and they were always up for impromptu shots and suggestions. They make sure that their work is organic, dynamic, and really captures the essence of the couple’s relationship. I asked them to use my Polaroid alongside their professional gear and they were really enthusiastic about the prospect, so now I have a set of excellent Polaroids in addition to their amazing high definition work. My spouse and I will absolutely be going back to Maya in the future for more photography. Some advice: Don’t waste your time shopping around with other photographers. If you’ve found Maya, you’ve found the perfect wedding photographer.”

Hi I'm Corey In a well tailored suit and a scotch in hand is how you may find me; enjoying a good read, it's the makings of a wanderlust at heart. My true pastime is in the small imprints we make in the world around us; our connections with the people we love. Being a photographer reminds me of a simple truth, these imprints in time these echoes and moments, this is living! Your Love Story is nothing short of Amazing. Let's not miss a thing!

“I tasted a free sample of Heritage Bread Pudding and honestly was not expecting it to be so delicious! I don’t know what ingredients they put in it but I’ve never tasted a better bread pudding! I bought 3 boxes and shared them with friends and they all confirmed my reaction! I’ll be ordering more!”

“Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.”
