The Best Fine Art Wedding Photographers in Manhattan, NY

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Welcome to my photography world! If you're here, it means you're searching for a photographer to help capture YOUR story.

My approach is simple – I want you to cherish every moment, and I'll take care of the rest. When we work together, you can just be yourself, living in the present and embracing life's joy.

Hi! I'm Andrew and I am an events and portrait photographer. I am based in the New York City area. I've been a photographer for 7 years; always learning and trying new techniques. Every photo session is an opportunity to create something unique. I always strive to capture real moments and turn them into works of art. I love photographing couples including weddings and engagement sessions. I also photograph parties, events and portraits.

For over two decades, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography and filmmaking. As a passionate artist with a keen eye for detail, I specialize in capturing love stories that are as fiery and unforgettable as they are authentic and beautiful. With my unique blend of creativity and technical expertise, I bring every couple’s vision to life in a way that is dynamic, vibrant, and truly unforgettable. In short, I’m not just a wedding photographer and filmmaker – I’m an artist who specializes in creating fiery and unforgettable love stories.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

French Rêveur, Film Lover. Bridging the gap between editorial and documentary photography using a minimalist/discreet approach. My typical couple is often camera shy and favors a candid/non posed approach for their wedding day.

I’ve dedicated years to learning the ins and outs of wedding formalities, but it’s the oft-forgotten bits of emotion that make the day feel so exceedingly special, not the shot list. With a day full of nothing but emotion, it’s easy for some moments to slip past unnoticed, but not by me. I’ll be there to make sure the heart of your day makes its way back to you — so you can remember what really mattered on your wedding day.

Specializing in editorial portraits and fine art photography, I strive to convey the essence of human experiences, evoking genuine emotions and telling captivating stories with a unique artistic style. Combining my background in psychology and photography, I strive to connect with my subjects and capture their authentic emotions. It is my mission to create photographs that tell stories and resonate with viewers, evoking a sense of nostalgia, wonder, and inspiration.

I have been a photographer for 21 years - it all started when my Mom gifted me my first camera to take on a trip. I shot 30 rolls of film, in a week, all in black & white. A decade later, I sat down to really think about what I wanted from life. At the time, I was playing professional soccer in Denmark, and knew that that experience had an expiration date. I wrote down what I love most - I LOVE people, travel, & photography. I hung up my cleats that very year and went full steam ahead into the most rewarding career I could have ever chosen. Photographing couples & their loved ones on the happiest day of their lives.

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.
