Love, Melissa

Manhattan, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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.

“Melissa made my special day stress free and fun. I expressed to her we were awkward and didn’t know how to pose and she responded with “I specialize in awkward.” She made us feel so comfortable and photogenic. She went above and beyond because my wedding outfit didn’t come in time and offered to split the session. I can’t wait to work with her again!”

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

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.

“Emma and her team are FANTASTIC! My photographer was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and upon our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit. I went with Massimo as the lead photographer who also did our engagement shoot. It was so nice to meet with him and see his work before the wedding. Leading up to the big day they would check in to make sure all details were finalized. My wedding was very unique in that I had an Indian wedding and traditional wedding all in one day with multiple outfit changes. We had a lot to cover and Emma's team was more than up for the challenge. We had 2 photographers including Massimo and a videographer. They were extremely organized and creative to capture shots I would have never thought of on my own. When the previews came in I was in shock of how beautiful they were and now that I have all of the photos and videos I get to relive the day all over again with friends and family. I could not recommend Emma and her team enough for weddings and other big life moments!”

“Ihor did a PHENOMENAL job with our wedding photos!!! We took our couple photos inside a speakeasy, and those photos came out even better than we could have imagined!! He has a great eye for poses and shots that maximize the environment. He made us feel comfortable and directed us on posing in a fun and efficient manner. The space was tiny, but you would never be able to tell! The photos came out like a literal DREAM!!! The actual wedding celebration was on a rooftop, and Ihor captured it beautifully, utilizing the natural lighting. From the beginning, Ihor was communicative, friendly, accommodating, and easy to work with. He was super fast with the turnaround time - we received the photos in less than 1 week!!! We HIGHLY recommend his services and hope to hire him again for future events!!! Thank you, Ihor for capturing our special day!!!”

  • Serves Manhattan, NY

We’re Milan and Nata, the husband-and-wife team behind Photo Cine Art. We’ve called Punta Cana home for over 20 years and have spent the last 16 years photographing and filming weddings across the Dominican Republic. Milan is our lead photographer, combining candid documentary moments with creative editorial portraits, while Nata manages, coordinates and edits everything behind the scenes. Together, we focus on real emotions, natural moments and beautiful wedding stories that feel true to each couple.

“Watching Milan document our growing family over the years has been incredibly special. He captures not just smiles, but emotion, connection, personality, and love in a way that feels authentic and deeply artistic. Every gallery tells a story. Every image feels alive. What makes Milan & Nata(his wife) so spectacular is that they pour their entire heart into their work. You can feel his passion in every interaction and see it in every photograph he delivers. He has given our family memories that we will cherish forever, and there truly are not enough words to express how grateful we are for his talent and dedication. Milan is, without question, the best. “Well, what can we say about Milan except that, he is AMAZING!! From our first interaction via email prior to our wedding in 2019 he has been above and beyond. He is attentive, energetic, personable, respectful, patient and quite funny. What else can you ask for! Milan, captured every detail of the wedding day from every angle. Our guests were even impressed at how quick and incognito he was throughout the wedding. Our second interaction was for our photoshoot a couple of days after the wedding at Altos De Chavon. What an experience that was! Milan’s visionary eye and level of art for his passion is extraordinary. Our next encounter in 2022 was nothing short of the first 2. Upon returning to DR with our son, I asked Milan for a family photoshoot. WOW!! The photos he captured with our non cooperating 2 year old are out of this world. We had 2 more family shoot sessions December 2024 and again in May 2026 — and, each experience keeps getting better. Milan, is truly the best of the best of the best. He puts his entire heart into his work.”

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

Awarded Best of Zola
“We had such a wonderful experience working with Millie! We did 3 sessions with her - a warm-up session to get more comfortable (we’re both a little awkward in front of a camera), our courthouse wedding and our wedding reception. She was super responsive to any questions we had, flexible with setting meeting times and helped us get organized and set a clear schedule. At all of our shoots, she captured all the little moments and details that made our celebrations special. More choreographed photos like family shoots were efficient to keep people from getting bored, without being rushed! She made our friends and family comfortable and was a great reassuring presence. It’s a testament to her abilities that we were able to quickly build up a ton of trust and we were able to relax and enjoy ourselves day-of. All of the photos are gorgeous and will be treasured forever! Can’t recommend Millie enough.”

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! 🙂

On our wedding day, when a few things inevitably went off track, she had such a calming presence that really helped me stay grounded and enjoy the moment. The photos are absolutely stunning — a perfect mix of timeless, beautifully composed portraits and spontaneous, lively shots that truly capture the energy of the day. We chose her because we loved how she balances classic and creative styles, and seeing our gallery confirmed we made the right choice. Every photo feels so full of life and emotion. We’re endlessly grateful and would recommend Tati and Roman to anyone looking for photographers who bring both artistry and calm professionalism to their wedding day.”

As two people who do not enjoy being in front of the camera, my husband and I were surprised by how comfortable and relaxed Celeste made us feel. She struck a balance between giving us control over what we wanted and offering thoughtful guidance when we weren’t sure what would photograph best. She suggested poses and locations, but always listened and adjusted if something didn’t feel right. She delivered both the preview and full gallery according to the communicated timeline. As a bride juggling so many moving parts, it was a relief to know that photos were something I never had to worry about. Celeste’s kindness and reliability allowed us to be fully present and trusting that our memories were in the best hands. She and her team captured the moments of our wedding and we LOVED how the photos came out.”

“People often debate what's most important for a wedding: is it the venue, the food, the flowers... ?  It's the memories, and putting them in the hands of artists who can show you the heart and soul and feel of every moment - moments you can't plan for, you can never adequately take in, and many you would simply miss. Jarrod and Taylor are certainly technically gifted photographers and videographers, but more importantly they are artists whose true love is capturing yours.  The name says it all: The Narrative. My bride Ali and I will be forever grateful that we found and convinced them to tell our story.  I could imagine a thousands different weddings, but none without them by our side. Thank you, Jarrod and Taylor, you beautiful humans, for your truly awesome and unbelievable care, vision, and talents.  You've given us more than we could have ever imagined or even hoped for, through your perfect lens.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
“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!”

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.”

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

She’s an artist and a professional, who really listens and takes care in every shot. She not only made sure we were happy with the experience but she let us in the process to make sure we would capture what we wanted. I’m an extremely camera shy bride but you would never know from looking at the end result. Bri made me feel so confident and comfortable. I forgot about the camera pressure or how my body might look because I trusted her and the process, and i’m so happy I did. Even the playlist she had set the right vibe and we could really relax to get photos that feel like us!”

What do you imagine your wedding to be like? Imagination helps us building our identities and shaping our uniqueness. Depending on our past and who we are, it carries a degree of anticipation, of how something that hasn't happened yet is going to be when it actually happens; like when traveling to a new place. A wedding is perhaps the most important destination in the journey of life. You and what happens around; your look, your smile, a hand that holds another hand; a reflection, a shadow...the texture of your wedding dress; The enchantment of simple details and the stunning elegance of the venue. This what I capture, and much more, in the best fine-art quality images, with the timeless flow that reminds you of classic cinematography.

“Annika, Renzo, and Elena were absolutely amazing. We got married at the Wire Event Center in Coxsackie, NY, and they did a fantastic job shooting the venue! Every photo was absolutely stunning and the videos were spectacular too. Not only was the work beautiful, but the whole Magic Flute team was such a pleasure to work with and were so nice. I could not have asked for a better team to shoot my wedding!”

Hi! You found me! There is nothing I love more than capturing people in their element, whether that be laughing during a portrait session or smiling at the person they love. I think it is crucial to allow clients to feel their best, look their best, and to treasure these memories forever. I specialize in portraits, headshots, fashion photography, engagements, and weddings. I have fallen in love with NYC and the beauty that can be captured through the lens. I always bring in the city to a couple's love, especially if their story started here. I can't wait to work with you and give you the photo experience that everyone deserves to have!

“I could not be happier that we booked Emily to shoot our wedding- I'll treasure these photos forever! I'm floored by Emily's work. I was familiar with her work before booking her, and I was still blown away (and I've still only seen our preview album!) My friends and family have all been floored by the photos too. It was also such a pleasure having Emily there and part of our day. She's as friendly and professional as you could possibly hope. It takes a lot of trust to capture important days, and Emily deserves and has earned that trust! I can't recommend her highly enough!”

Based in the Philadelphia and New York City areas, serving couples worldwide. Justace is a film wedding photographer specializing in true to color imagery with a creative flair. Her work is for the couple who wants to create art while having their wedding day documented in a real and story-like way.

“We truly think that having Justace as our photographer was one of the best decisions that we made for our wedding day! She has beautiful work, but is also incredibly kind, joyful, organized, and thoughtful. She was a dream for a type-A bride, and we knew we could trust her both professionally and relationally. When we couldn't do an engagement shoot since we were in separate states, she did a night-before shoot at Dave & Busters for our last date night before getting married. It was absolutely perfect!! It was also incredibly important to us that we had a photographer that shared our values and understood the weight of what marriage truly is. We think she captured that perfectly in our gallery. Thank you Justace for being such an integral part of the best day of our lives 3”

Known for her easy-going and deeply caring nature with a witty edge, Judson’s appreciation for the beautiful unexpected comes through in her work. She is a natural conversationalist with an uncanny ability to create a lighthearted yet solution-oriented atmosphere. She finds ways to spark humor in the most genuine of ways which helps her couples to fully relax in her presence. Judson first photographed weddings through the lens of photojournalism & history covering LGBTQ+ wedding for fellow queer couples, something that still informs her work and approach today.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I've worked with Judson many times - not only as a fellow wedding vendor, but she's also captured photos of me and my family that I absolutely treasure. At weddings, she expertly captures the most incredible candid photos that capture the moment and the evening perfectly, and she directs friends and family during formal photos so well that it feels seamless! The only personal photos I have hanging in my home are her film photos of my family, because they don't feel cheesy - they feel like art. She's also an incredible person who is inclusive of all folks and captures queer love in such a gorgeous way. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
