Hi, I'm Kevin. I love capturing my images with natural light and my favorite time in the day for it would be sunrise and sunset. That's my motivation for my photography.

I'm also an ophthalmology photographer whom capture images in the back of the eye for pathology studies.

Love, Melissa

  • Photojournalistic style

I've taken everything I learned in photo school and used it to influence my wedding photography. The end result? Images that feel effortlessly cool, timeless, and personal. I work in a way that encourages you and your partner to interact with each other and be yourselves, instead of focusing on me and my camera.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Melissa! She was so easy to work with every step of the way. She was responsive and organized but more importantly, you could tell that she genuinely wanted to make our day as special as possible. Neither of us are used to being photographed, but she created a comfortable and relaxed atmosphere which made it all feel natural and even fun. ("Flirty hands!") She truly has a gift for capturing genuine moments without making anything feel forced. And our photos turned out absolutely stunning! Everything is beautifully composed and full of emotion. Each time I look back at our photos, I just remember how happy we felt in each of those moments. I truly cannot recommend Melissa enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! 3

If you're looking for the BEST wedding photographers, look no further... Rebeca and Andrew are it! After seeing their stunning work at my brother’s wedding, I knew I had to have them capture mine. From our engagement shoot all the way through our wedding day, their talent and eye for beauty were unmatched. They’re not only incredibly skilled but also such genuinely kind, organized, and easygoing people. They make you feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if posing feels unnatural for you), and their energy puts you at ease instantly. And can we talk about how FAST they are? We got 90 sneak peek, high-resolution photos just five days after our wedding and they are all beyond gorgeous.

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.

It was such a pleasure working with Emma Cleary photography and videography. From the start, Emma was great to communicate with and always responded very promptly. She was organized from the start and made planning easy. The crew really captured the day so beautifully and professionally and looking back on the photos and videos makes us so happy. We keep watching the videos over and over! The editing and attention to detail on all of their work is all at such an incredibly high level. The photographers (David, Dilmurad) and the videographer (Kamil) were so fun and easy on the day of the wedding, they knew exactly how to get the perfect shots in a way that didn’t interrupt the flow of the day while still capturing everything so well. When the Groomsmen didn’t know how to properly attach their boutonnieres, the cameraman stepped up to help out and show them how to do it! We were running a bit behind schedule on the Bride’s side during the day of the wedding, but the crew was patient with us and found plenty to take pictures of while we finished getting ready. Emma Cleary’s team were all such fun to work with and we are so thankful for the memories that they captured.

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Tati & Roman was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We were looking for someone with more of an editorial style with a focus on genuine candid photos, and they absolutely delivered!!! Tati & Roman took the time to get to know us and what the vibe of our wedding would be like, and it translated SO well in their photos. When we told them we were leaning into a movie theme and wanted to do our engagement photos in a movie theater, they really took the idea and brought it to life in ways we hadn’t even imagined. People are STILL talking about how cool our engagement photos were. And now we all can’t stop gushing over our wedding photos!! They captured everything so beautifully - all of the love and absolute joy of the day just shines through each photo. They took so many gorgeous photos of our loved ones too - the best photos we've ever seen of many of them! Trying to pick only a few of our photos for this post feels IMPOSSIBLE. And even the album titles they sorted the photos into matched our theme (trailer, prologue, guest stars, etc) and we love the thoughtfulness!! We really leaned into a lot of silliness throughout the day, and Tati was always game and so excited to help us pull it off. We are SOOOO lucky to have had a photographer who was just as excited about the day as we all were - and a friend who fit right in with our loved ones :) If you’re considering booking Tati & Roman, do yourself a favor and DO IT!!!!!!

I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Shelby. To put into perspective how much I absolutely love her work, we not only hired her for our city hall wedding, but also hired her and her partner Jordan (videographer) for our big wedding. They also just photographed my cousin Kate’s wedding this past weekend. Kate met Shelby and Jordan at my big wedding, and absolutely fell in love with not only their work, but them as people. My partner and I aren’t good at taking photos. We are very awkward, and feel uncomfortable being the center of attention. But Shelby made it SO EASY and SO FUN for us. Not only were our photos beyond our expectations, the video Jordan created for us was absolutely out of this world. They are such incredible human beings, and both so talented. I plan to use Shelby and Jordan for every event in the future.

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for the past 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time. My current active markets are Minnesota and New York, but I'm available to travel anywhere in the US and the world for additional fees!

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

Hi, I'm Celeste, I'm from a small town in Spain. Now leaving in NY. I have spent the last seven years getting to know new humans and documenting their stories and connections. How they got into that point of their life, and what makes them light up. I feel it is quite a responsibility and a significant honor to be able to create this legacy for them.

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer! My spouse and I knew going in that we would need a photographer who was comfortable taking charge. We are not super photogenic and lacked a vision for our wedding photos. Our families can also be a bit difficult to wrangle. However, Celeste navigated it all flawlessly. Nothing–including torrential rain and one of our fathers going missing for a surprise outfit change–phased Celeste. Celeste is also a lovely person. We met Celeste the year before our wedding at the wedding of two of our good friends, so we knew going in that she would be a fun and calming presence. She lived up to her reputation; easygoing, kind, and quick to respond to emails, she made the entire experience stress-free. Two days after the wedding we received a “sneak peek” file from Celeste of over 100 shots. We were floored by how well they came out and how quickly she was able to get them to us. About 8 weeks later we received the full album and we could not have been happier. Celeste’s photos captured the vibe we did not even know we wanted–bright, fun, light-hearted and silly. We wholeheartedly recommend Celeste for her talent and skill, adaptability, and the overall joy she brought to our wedding day.

We had the absolute best experience with our wedding photographer, Sean and his team. From the very beginning, he was incredibly communicative, responsive, and clear about every step of the process. He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, which truly shows in the photos. His work is absolutely beautiful, and we were blown away by how perfectly he captured every special moment of our day. His process - including the thoughtful form he provided - really got us thinking in advance about the types of shots and meaningful moments we wanted to capture, while he also brought his own creative vision that resulted in stunning, heartfelt images we’ll cherish forever. We’re so happy with our photos and genuinely grateful for the care, professionalism, and artistry he brought to our wedding. We can’t recommend him highly enough.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

From our first consultation, it was clear that The Narrative Weddings (Photo Video) were the perfect fit to capture our perfect day. Their relaxed, efficient, and professional communication style put us at ease, and their work was truly dreamy and exactly what we wanted. The Narrative wasn't just another vendor - they were seamlessly woven in like old friends with cameras, capturing every moment from getting ready, to the first look, to the lively reception. We would book The Narrative 1000 times over if we could, as they understood exactly what we were looking for and delivered perfection in their photos.

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!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Dasha! From our very first email exchange, we could feel her amazing energy—she was so friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly professional. When we learned that she had recently shot a wedding at our venue and hotel, we knew we were in great hands. Neither of us take a lot of pictures (and usually don’t take them well!), so we were nervous about the process. But Dasha immediately put us at ease. She met with us in our neighborhood a couple of months before the wedding, and her warmth, confidence, and expertise reassured us every step of the way. On the big day, she was incredibly kind, patient, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. She brought out the best in us, and the results speak for themselves—the photos are absolutely unreal! We couldn’t be happier and couldn’t recommend Dasha more highly.
