Awarded Best of Zola
We initially went with Sound Originals out of cost consideration and ease of booking because their combined photo/video package seemed so much more cost effective than many of the quotes we were getting from individual photographers and videographers. We assumed therefore that the quality might be a bit diminished by comparison, but were quite pleasantly surprised to discover that this was not the case! We are beyond pleased with the coverage they provided of our wedding and reception, and would certainly recommend Sound Originals to anyone seeking photo/video of their big day. Our team on the day of the wedding were absolute rock stars. Kate, Trung, and Travis all were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond in ensuring we had excellent photos and video--both candids and plandids. We're so grateful to each of them for their excellent work! If you're considering booking Sound Originals, there is one practical consideration we might offer, however: Their business model seems streamlined to provide a standardized product and level of quality to many clients at once by contracting with local photographers and videographers--this is great for ensuring that clients know what to expect visually and that the company has backup photographers ready in case any members of the assigned team can't make it, but this also seems to come at the cost of personal touch when communicating with the company and the photo/video team. Our communications with them were always through a portal on their website and often felt rather impersonal. This was a trade off we were perfectly fine with, given the very affordable price we paid for our package and the piece of mind in knowing that even if our lead photographer got sick or something, someone else would be there to fill in. If you, however, require a high level of customization or personal touch and want to cultivate a close relationship with your photographer, then you may want to hire a photographer/team directly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

We used duet for our wedding and we absolutely loved them. I was terrible with timing and my hair and make up took forever. They were patient with me. Once I was ready to finally take photos, we didn’t have that much time and I was worried I wouldn’t get so many good photos. In such a short amount of time, they took such incredible pictures. I’m so happy I trusted them with the most important day of my life because they absolutely delivered. My highlight reel also came out amazing and they were open and responsive to any edits I wanted made. Hanel was amazing throughout the process.

From our first conversation with Studio 27, we knew we'd made the right choice. Their communication was clear and honest from start to finish, and they treated us with such kindness throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, this team went far beyond just taking pictures—they had my lipstick and perfume in their pockets, kept us hydrated, and never rushed us no matter how many shots we wanted to take. Their eye for detail and artistic vision really showed in every image, capturing the moments that mattered most to us. What made the experience even better was how fun and easy they were to be around, which honestly made the whole day feel less stressful. We couldn't be happier with Studio 27 and would recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who truly care.

Rachel Leiner Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lawrence, NY

My name's Rachel, but most people call me Rach. I'm a laugher. I talk a little too loud, and sometimes a little too much. A New Yorker, turned Bostonian, turned back to New Yorker. Traveling is my favorite thing...ever. I order in Thai food about three times a week (I know, it's a problem). My glass isn't just full, it's overflowing, and I am committed to capturing the true beauty and joy I see in the world. If you're looking for a photographer who isn't just there to click the button, but to go the extra mile and become pals with, look no further.

Where do we even start…Rachel is so friendly and easy to talk to – by the end of our very first conversation with her, we felt like we had been friends for years. She has such a light about her that makes you feel at ease in front of the camera (which is huge for us since we’re both very uncomfortable being center of attention) and energized from the liveliness she exudes. We admire her creativity and professionalism (while still being fun, relaxed, and dancing the night away with us!), and was so accommodating, had wonderful suggestions, and was fantastic at corralling our wedding party and family members. Most importantly, she captured the small moments that we didn’t even know were important and would cherish. Rachel took both our engagement and wedding photos and we loved seeing what she captured from two awkward people who were having the time of their lives; they’re beautifully stunning. We love her and will 10/10 use her again in the future.

Nathalie G Photo

  • Serves Lawrence, NY

As a wedding photographer with a photojournalistic approach, I specialize in capturing the authentic, unscripted moments that tell the true story of your day. My style blends documentary photography with an artistic edge and a playful touch. I believe in honest photography that goes beyond the surface to capture what’s real. When artistry meets authenticity, that’s where the magic truly happens.

Nathalie was so amazing for our Wedding in June! We also did our engagement shoot in the city with Nathalie and she suggested multiple places to go and stuck with us for a long day capturing amazing photos that we were able to use for our save the dates and decor on our escort card table. The whole process she was easy to talk to and ask her for ideas and advice when it came to capturing our day as well as little wedding things in general! She would get on a call with me and give thoughtful feedback from a photographers perspective when I couldn’t decide on certain timeline factors or table layouts, etc which was so helpful because although we had a planner, hearing from other vendors really helps narrow things down. On the wedding day she captured such amazing details, candids and portraits that came out so beautiful. The nerves were definitely high that day but Nathalie was a great hype girl and worked amazing with our other vendors, we’re so grateful we had Nathalie apart of our day and miss working with her!!

After ten years as a New York-based photographer, I recently moved to Argentina and now return to NY once or twice a year for weddings. I also photograph destination celebrations across the US, Europe, and South America. I’ve photographed everything from large weddings with packed dance floors to intimate days shared with only a few loved ones. What I love most is getting to know each couple and creating photographs that feel personal, honest, and true to them.

We had hired Nicole to come on a hike with us in Upstate, NY to photograph our engagement. Not only did she capture beautiful photos, but we had a fantastic time hiking with her and formed a relationship with her, which is a rare find when it comes to vendors! Despite it raining and being foggy, she was a trooper and the pictures turned out amazing - we think even better than if it was sunny! We love both her documentary-style photography and editing style. She really knows how to capture the moment without it being performative! We had so much fun and it didn't even feel like we were in a photoshoot. I was a bit anxious because I don't do well in front of the camera or know how to pose, but Nicole knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable! She was super friendly and professional. We would definitely work with her again, and are currently looking to hire her for our wedding!

There aren’t enough kind things to say about Maddie!!! She was incredibly helpful and thorough on the wedding day and did such a good job capturing my husband and I’s personalities. We talked a bunch leading up to the day and I shared with her some of my “visions” for the pictures (lol) but mainly I just told her that I wanted her to capture the day as it was and let the pics speak for themselves, which they DID!! She also came in hand with not only a digital camera but a polaroid and a film cam as well. I couldn’t believe how stunning the pictures were. I highly highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a photographer. She’s such a fantastic person and I’m so grateful to know her!!!

Leanne Gelish Studio

  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Lawrence, NY

Welcome to Leanne Gelish Studio! I am a wedding photographer on Long Island, New York who specializes in capturing real moments in an artistic way. A born story-teller, I believe your wedding day should be captured like a story. After all, it’s the love story you always wanted and it’s worth remembering the little details.

My husband and I had a fairytale courtship. We started dating in February of 2019 and were engaged by June. We both felt a lot of stress and pressure from both sides of our family as soon as we announced our engagement. We decided that we wanted our wedding day to be just about us, and we would do a reception later on that would include our family and friends. We were engaged on Sunday June 9th and by Monday I was scouting the internet for photographers. I’m not from Long Island, so I’m not familiar with vendors here. However, being the daughter of two photographers, I knew that the most important part of my wedding (besides the bride & groom) was the pictures. I reached out to so many photographers and no one was the right fit. We were under a time crunch, so some weren’t available on short notice. I wanted my pictures taken with a Nikon camera, not all vendors are loyal to that brand. Then I found Leanne. Not only were her pictures GORGEOUS, she took pictures with a Nikon, and she was available! Under her excellent guidance, I reached out to the local town hall and secured our wedding date 7/12/19. Leanne was up for the challenge of taking pictures of a couple she had never met at a wedding in just over a month. Over the course of that month she made us feel so comfortable. She had so many beautiful and creative portraits planned, and also listened to all of the images I wanted. We asked her to be our witness at the wedding ceremony. It just felt right. The day of the wedding was beyond anything I had ever imagined. Leanne (having never met me) jumped right into action when I was in the middle of a wardrobe malfunction. She then expertly guided us through portraits before, during, and after the ceremony. She gave us the space to enjoy our day and captured our love in such a stunning way. We went to a lovely park after the ceremony for more portraits. We took breaks here and there and unbeknownst to us, she captured those candid, intimate moments that we shared. Those pictures are some of my favorites. My husband isn’t as comfortable in front of the camera as I am, but Leanne was so wonderful in helping him pose and stand in ways that didn’t feel super awkward to him. She even got him up in a tree! We both have that picture as our background on our phones. I really feel like Leanne went above and beyond what I had envisioned. She gave me all of the images I requested, and also made them her own using smoke bombs and prisms and really unique poses. Two and a half years later, Leanne is the only person we trust with taking our pictures. She has also become a close friend of ours. She is the most talented photographer, and we are so lucky that she was the one to capture our special day!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Emma Cleary’s photography team. From start to finish, the experience was absolutely exceptional. The entire team was professional, warm, and incredibly talented, making us feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. Anna, our lead photographer, was truly outstanding. She was calm, organized, and had an amazing eye for capturing both the big moments and the quiet, emotional details. She made everything feel natural and effortless, and the photos are beyond stunning—timeless, beautiful, and full of genuine emotion. Kamil, our videographer, was equally incredible. His presence was seamless, and the final video is cinematic, emotional, and perfectly tells the story of our day. He captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening, and watching the video brings us right back to every feeling of the day. Together, Anna and Kamil worked flawlessly as a team, and the results exceeded all of our expectations. We will treasure these photos and videos forever and highly, highly recommend Emma Cleary’s photography team to anyone looking for truly exceptional wedding photography and videography.
