We could not have asked for a better photography and videography team for our wedding reception! Bayo was truly a mind reader — constantly in the right place at the right time and somehow captured every special moment without ever feeling staged or forced. Arlene worked quietly behind the scenes, capturing every emotional, joy-filled detail so naturally that it feels like we’re reliving the night every time we watch our video.

The team was responsive and clear throughout the entire planning process, guiding us with consistent communication so nothing fell through the cracks. On our wedding day, they stayed calm and organized, which let us actually enjoy the moment instead of worrying about details. Their attention to detail showed in every shot, and the final photos exceeded what we'd imagined. Our guests are still talking about how seamlessly everything went. We'd recommend them to any couple looking for reliable photographers who truly care about making your day special.

Hey, I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a wedding photographer, yes — but more than that, I’m someone who deeply values connection. I love getting to know my couples, their families, and their chosen families. I photograph all kinds of love, but I’m especially proud to serve the LGBTQIA+ community. As a lesbian and someone who’s been through the wedding planning process with my amazing wife, I know how powerful representation is — and how much it matters. Whether you’re queer or an ally, I’m honored you’ve found your way here. Tell me your love story, and let’s show the world just how magical it is.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Michelle was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she made us feel seen, supported, and celebrated. Her communication was warm and effortless, and she brought a calming presence to every interaction. More than a photographer, she was a guide who helped us craft a timeline, anticipate small details, and stay fully present throughout the day. Michelle’s ability to blend digital and film photography created the most stunning, timeless images. She captured genuine emotion and connection, not just posed moments. We never felt staged or rushed, and she let our day unfold naturally while documenting everything with intention and artistry. As an LGBTQ couple, we especially appreciated how affirming and inclusive Michelle was. She created a space where we felt completely ourselves, which shows clearly in every photo. Her sensitivity, professionalism, and genuine joy for our celebration meant the world to us. Our sneak peak gallery is everything we hoped for and more; we cannot wait to see the final gallery. Michelle's photos are elegant, emotional, and full of life. Michelle is an extraordinary artist and an even better human being. If you are looking for someone who will not only photograph your wedding but also elevate the entire experience, Michelle is the one. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

Our experience with Xenia and Mark (videographer) was truly amazing. Xenia is truly a dedicated professional and her camera work is truly phenomenal. We booked Xenia for both our engagement and wedding photos and she completely exceeded my expectations! We originally booked Xenia and Mark for our wedding in May but unfortunately our wedding venue closed last minute and we were left to scramble in finding a new venue and once we did Xenia was so accommodating and made the new wedding date work. Xenia and Mark are super easy to work with; truly genuine individuals! I scoured through hundreds of photographers before I came across Xenia and honestly, none of them compared to her work and eye for photography. Stop your search and book her; I promise you won't regret it. Thank you, Xenia and Mark!

Kathryn has been a friend of mine for 20 years, so I've been following her growing business and incredible adventures around the globe for a long time. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is she fantastic to work with, she loves opportunities for creativity and "outside the box" moments. I loved the idea of playing with light at night, so she found a color-changing light device to create incredible backgrounds for our night photos! I also loved that we hardly knew she and her second were there during the ceremony. She's sneaky and still gets the most beautiful photos! I cannot recommend my beautiful friend enough, especially if you're looking for someone LGBTQ friendly!

Our wedding was back in May 2024, and with a reception do-over happening very soon (due to illness-driven reasons), we are looking forward to working with him again! Dean's communication is timely, professional, and always makes sure his clients' requests are completed (reasonably). Dean puts all of his energy in making sure magical moments are captured along with getting moments that are timeless and elegant. He was absolutely phenomenal to have as our wedding photographer and even got photos of things we don't remember happening! In making sure our special day is everything we could imagine, it was super sweet to meet and discuss locations, ideal shots, and more leading up to the big day (which made the wedding day a bit less stressful). Dean is also very reasonable for travel! If you are looking for someone to make your day feel special and candid, he is your guy!

Melo Photo + Video offers customizable packages at practical-budget friendly prices.

We hired our photographer for our wedding through this company and he did an amazing job! The pictures came out great, lighting and editing was phenomenal, could not have asked for better. At this price, I can't imagine getting a better deal for the quality we received. Loved it! Only warning I'd like to give is that the files are only downloadable for a limited time, so make sure you get them downloaded before the time is up!
