  • Starts at $5,550
  • Serves Laurel, NY

My approach is documentary-style. I absolutely guide you through portraits and important moments such as first looks, but I allow many moments to happen naturally, capturing your wedding day in an honest way. I have a passion for capturing core memories & I’m truly a sucker for nostalgia. I aim to provide you with a wedding day experience where you don’t feel like the entire day has been curated for your photos - rather, the photos have been curated to YOUR DAY. Giving you space and time to enjoy your loved ones, and making your wedding photos feel effortless.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Rajotte Photography was one of the BEST decisions I made when planning my wedding. Marybeth was the photographer at my brother's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. She was so sweet and fun to work with. She even helped answer some questions I had about my own upcoming wedding. The moment I saw the first photo from my brother's wedding I knew I had to book her for mine. Her work is STUNNING! Thankfully, she was available for my wedding date and I was thrilled! The booking process was simple but also personalized. They offered valuable advice about timeline and asked important questions regarding family dynamics, photo idea/requests, and more. Communication was quick and professional and she answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were on time and so fun to work with. They captured the perfect mix of posed pictures and candids. I have always been pretty self-conscious but Marybeth made me feel like a model on my wedding day and I cannot thank her enough for that! I would absolutely recommend her!! 100/10!

Awarded Best of Zola
We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away. Shawn was very professional, very informative, he listened to what we have to say and want and he followed our vision to a tee. From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made us feel very comfortable and we were at ease with nothing to worry on our wedding day. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, the pictures were spectacular; we had filmed a short video that introduced our love story , that was also amazing, and even though it was raining that day this video reflects Shawn's creativity, he really captured us, our goofiness, our happiness and all. This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for. I am 1000% satisfied, I will definitely use him again and would Highly recommend his services.

Maria was by far the best value of all our vendors! So easy to work with and she really cares about helping you get what you want for your wedding day! She helped up map out the whole day ahead of time, and she and her partner even came to our separate homes in the morning while we all got ready! They spent the whole day and night with us and really went above and beyond my expectations. Not to mention her work is absolutely beautiful!! We recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married and we even had her come do our newborn photos when our son was born! I worked in the wedding industry for 10 years so I’ve seen tons of photographers- trust me... go with Maria! You won’t be disappointed!!

Where do I even begin with Kyle? From the moment we booked him, we knew we were in the best hands — but he somehow exceeded every expectation we had. Kyle has this calm, confident presence that immediately puts you at ease. On the wedding day, he kept everything flowing seamlessly while still capturing every meaningful moment. He balanced direction and candor perfectly — giving just enough guidance to make us look our best, while also capturing the most genuine, emotional, in-between moments that we’ll treasure forever. 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. The photos are romantic, elevated, and truly feel like us. He captured the energy of the day so beautifully — the elegance, the emotion, the joy, the chaos on the dance floor — all of it. If you’re considering booking Kyle, do it. He is professional, talented, organized, and genuinely cares about delivering something extraordinary. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.

Nas Zakir Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Laurel, NY

Hi! My name is Nas :) I fell in love with photography at just 10 years old, when I picked up one of my dad's cameras and instantly connected with the art of capturing life. That same passion today drives my work as a documentary-style photographer. I focus on the raw, candid, and fleeting moments. The ones that may go unnoticed, but can mean the most.

I found Nas on Reddit and I’m so glad I did! She is just getting her start in her career but that was hard to tell from the beautiful, movie-like photos she delivered that captured my finances and my love doing something we love together, walking our dog around our neighborhood in Brooklyn. Nas’ style is very candid with fewer posing prompts; she takes creative shots while also making sure to get all the backgrounds we wanted. It was her first time shooting a dog and she did an amazing job capturing his quirkiness and bouncy walk. She was right on time with the shoot and delivering photos and was responsive via email and text.

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

Elise was our wedding photographer. Is she the best? She’s the best in more ways than one can ask for in a photographer. Elise goes above and beyond for her clients providing exceptional service in addition to the stunning photos she takes of your special day. From regular check-ins, her words of encouragement, to her “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help you through moments of uncertainty and crisis, she is more than a photographer - she is your teammate and someone who you can rely on. We were so lucky to have her by our side. Thank you, Elise. We literally could not have done it without you. Of course, I highly recommend her services without any reservation.

Gelfman Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Laurel, NY

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. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

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.

  • Serves Laurel, NY

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. I’ve known for years I wanted him as my photographer and was so happy he was available on my wedding day. Easy to work with, flexible and extremely helpful. Pictures are stunning. I’m so grateful he was my photographer.

I’ve always been a sun chaser, edit all nighter, “Look at the sky” type of person! Photoshoots can seem scary. I can assure you’ll feel comfortable with me being your photographer once I fill you in on a few things about me. Yes, I’m a dog person, my dog is my soul sister. Forget high heels, I’d rather be barefoot. Cozy wine nights over clubbing. Forever not a morning person. Bubble baths and Netflix. Tacos for dinner..again. Sweatpants all winter. Full of dad jokes. Sundays are for Shameless. I’m on the creative right side of the brain, laughing at everything gal!

Monica, I ADORE YOU!!! I have totally made a forever friend in Monica. My husband really loved all of our vendors, but he keeps asking about Monica even now. LOL!! (He knows we talk on insta) She is just awesome. She really tailored to our requests of candid photos rather than removing us from our wedding for photos. She was everywhere throughout the night and truly captured it all. She is such a joy to be around, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. I feel like she was a guest having fun! And I hope she was! Can not wait to use Monica for all of my future photoshoots.

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!
