I cannot say enough about how incredible it was to work with NYLuxe. Andrea is absolutely phenomenal, and from the first day, I knew I could trust her eye for detail and impeccable style. Andrea made my dream wedding day even better than anything I could have hoped for, and truly made the planning process a pleasure. I didn't have a single fight with my mom in this process, and I was even able to start a new job just 2 months before my wedding without a worry. Not only was Andrea incredible in supporting me, but she was incredible with my whole family. All of my friends have been asking about every single vendor used for the wedding, from the DJ/band combo (which was a HUGE HUGE hit), the florist to the videographer and photographers, she is able to work within a budget without compromising on excellence. I cannot recommend NYLuxe enough, I wouldn't have been able to do it without Andrea and Anastasia. It was truly the best day of our lives.

A Metro Wedding

  • DJ
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

As a homegrown, native NYC-based wedding DJ, I allow the music to speak for itself in a way that is organic and authentic. With an elegant & refined approach, I accommodate any eclectic flavor and curate a tasteful wedding celebration all based on your musical preferences. What you won’t get? A stereotypical, cheesy DJ stealing the spotlight and breaking up the music with bad jokes and unnecessary interruptions. You deserve better. Expect a personal and individualized celebration with great music, precise attention to detail and a fun-filled dance party — all based on 15 years of wedding experience.

Joe was a pleasure to work with! He has a calming yet excited energy that made us confident that he’d be the perfect wedding DJ from day 1, even when our plans and vision were still all over the place. On our wedding day, Joe helped everything run smoothly, from coordinating with other musicians, setting up the mic for the toasts, through, obviously, making sure every single guest was having a blast at the dance floor! Several guests commented on how friendly and fun Joe was! We highly recommend Joe to any event!!!

VickyC5 makeup art team specializes in bridal beauty and has two different locations in NYC and Bayside, Queens. We understand the stress associated with your wedding day and from the moment you set foot in our salon, you won’t have to lift a finger. Starting from wedding beauty consultation to scheduling, dressing to the perfect finishing touches, our capable artist in on the top of everything. Leave the organizing to us, so you can relax and enjoy your memorable day.

VickyC5 was an absolute nightmare to work with for our wedding. From the start, their communication style was arrogant, cold, and downright nasty. Despite the high quality and exceptional work they provided, our overall experience was terrible. They argued with our guests and provided a haphazard champagne pyramid that collapsed, ruining the moment. To top it off, we only ended up paying half of the contracted amount as we are now taking them to court over their poor service and treatment. I would strongly advise any couple to avoid VickyC5 at all costs - their laziness and unprofessional behavior completely marred what should have been the best day of our lives.

I've been photographing weddings since 2010 and it's something that I feel incredibly fortunate to do. It really is remarkable to be able to combine my love for photography and storytelling in capturing the stories of so many wonderful couples in a genuine and authentic manner over the past 10 years. I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my wife, our daughter and our two cats. When I'm not photographing weddings you can find me exploring the streets of New York City with my camera, enjoying a good cup of coffee, visiting art galleries, and spending time outdoors.

Could not recommend James MORE to photograph your wedding. Not only is he an incredibly skilled photographer, he is kind and friendly and fantastic to work with! We have already recommended him to family and friends getting married in the coming years. I can’t wait to see the full album of our photos, because so far they are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen. You won’t regret working with James!

Hi, I'm Jacq! The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I am obsessed with dogs (particularly my own, but probably yours too if you have a pooch!) and generally an adoring animal lover. I am a SF/bay area native who has now been in NYC for almost 15 years. I started Love in Theory in 2011 and fell in love with capturing the love and vibrant personalities of couples, both as individuals and as a united entity. We have become a multi national award winning portrait studio, with a main focus on weddings and couple shoots with an editorial style and a fashion influence.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start out by saying Love In Theory is the best wedding photographer out there. Look no further brides and grooms. As a bride, my #1 priority was finding a photographer who would I could trust enough to provide me with photos to capture some of the most special moments of my life. Photography was more important to me than any other vendor (including food and music, and I love food and dancing). After in depth research, I kept going back to Love In Theory. Not just because of their exceptional value, responsiveness, the calming effect of Jacquie's beautiful, warm personality but the pure talent and the love and light that shines through in her photographs. She has a way with capturing the most magical and fairytale-like moments. Her use of color and light come through in every shot. Trust me- just look at her site! My experience working with Jacquie & crew was sheer perfection from start to finish.My husband Tom and I received such an outpouring of positive response from our guests, bridal party and social media friends. Everyone we know has raved about our pictures from Love In Theory but not as much as we can. If anyone needs a recommendation, this is it. Jacquie is an artist and a professional. You are in the best hands with Love In Theory. Aside from her spectacular photography, her attention to detail is exceptional. All of our photos were delivered to us in the most adorable, thoughtful way. Anyone who was blessed enough to work with her knows what I mean by that. We fell in love with Jacquie from day one and now she is a friend to us. I posted about this photographer in the past after she shot our engagement photos because I already trusted that she would deliver the same results for our wedding. Jacquie- who I will always refer to as the Queen of Photography- we love you! Thank you and your team for being there as our most treasured photographer, our most sane, reliable vendor, and now our friend. Love always, M&T

I think their strongpoint is the very high quality of the photographs and all the ideas and tricks to avoid the same old predictable pictures and poses.

Dave has photographed the weddings of notables like Christina Hendricks, Ellie Kemper and Piper Perabo, who sought him out for his one-of-a-kind brand of visual storytelling. Renowned for unique ability in finding beautiful nuance, Dave is one of the most sought after wedding photographers in the world. Passionate about his craft yet relaxed in his approach, Dave prides himself in his innate ability to put clients at ease. "When a subject is totally comfortable, they feel free to be themselves. What results from this is the beauty of authenticity".

Most brides don't expect to hear that their wedding photographer has gotten sick on the morning of their wedding - not the most fun news to receive. Thankfully, our incredible planner had already convinced Dave to photograph our Newport, RI wedding and we're SO glad that he did. He was so empathetic and kind, making us immediately feel at ease even though the first time we met him was the morning of our wedding. He managed our friendly and family effortlessly, and captured the most incredible moments (including the ridiculous dance party that ensued amidst a lightning storm that made us vacate our tent). There's one photo in particular that still makes me smile every time I see it - a candid of my husband and I absolutely cracking up over a best man's speech. I'm so grateful for Dave, not only for his insane talent and skill, but for his uncanny ability to make us feel special, calm, and excited amidst the chaos. If you are ever looking for a photographer in the NYC area or on the fence - Dave is a 1000000% no brainer.

It’s a pretty cool/weird thing when your hobby becomes your job, so I feel like I am still working on being a more well rounded human hobby-wise. I love hiking with my pup Tucker, bringing my hammock to the park with a good book, finding cool events happening in the city, making homemade milkshakes(you haven’t lived until you’ve made a pb&j milkshake with chocolate sauce. Stop reading and go do that now, you’ll thank me later), oh and watching way too much TV! It’s the golden age of television, so how can you not.

In addition to our engagement shoot Heather captured truly magical photos for our Spring Philly wedding at Christ Church and Reading Terminal Market. Choosing her as our photographer was the first and best decision that we made for our wedding--she is so fun to work with and was even game to take fun pictures of us and our wedding party as we walked through Old City from the church to the reception. Looking back at the photos we are able to re-live our most special day through her creative lens. Her photos are magical and we will treasure them forever. Book Heather now: you won't regret it!

Justin Lee Weddings 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

Drawing inspiration from films, photojournalism, and fine art— my work is best described as cinematic and timeless. From photographing small to large weddings, intimate elopements, to covering the Tony Awards— I've learned that every wedding & event is important and unique. My approach as a photographer is to not only create images that feel honest and interesting, but to document a story— while subtly being in the background. Capturing moments you were in the middle of, and moments that you probably never even saw— so that one day when you look back on these images years from now, you'll be reminded of what that day was.

Working with Justin was a dream. When we were planning our wedding, we knew that photography was one of the most important aspects for us, and we wanted to make sure we worked with someone that understood our desire of editorial looking photos versus those cheesy posed wedding photos we often see. We found Justin's work on Instagram and immediately reached out to work together. His pricing was super reasonable especially for the NYC area, and we were so comfortable with him the moment we met him for our engagement shoot. We weren't comfortable in front of the camera but he did such an amazing job at pulling our personalities and our story out so that it translated into the most beautiful photos. One of our photos on the subway was even featured on Zola's Instagram! Justin ended up becoming a friend after we worked with him and we received so many compliments on how beautiful both our engagement and wedding photos are. He delivered the photos so quickly and it was clear that he was personally invested in our love story. We can't recommend Justin enough - he is truly the best photographer and you will be able to relive your big day in the best, most beautiful way with his photos.

Gruber Photographers

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Serves Manhattan, NY

At Gruber Photographers, we are inspired by one simple truth, “A moment is defined not only by its subject but also by the effect it has on those who share it.” We believe life’s milestones deserve to be photographed with this in mind. Every detail large and small. Every feeling from only the right angles. From the behind-the-scenes preparations to the spotlighted celebrations. Un-scripted, un-posed and nothing like traditional wedding photography.

Awarded Best of Zola
Gruber Photographers were fantastic in photographing my 'Surprise Proposal'. Terry was great at organising quickly and efficiently, and putting me in touch with the photographer for the big day -- Olga. Olga was also great, and the photos she took were fantastic and just what we wanted. She helped me find the perfect location for the proposal and the spots for extra photos afterwards. I had never been to New York before, so it was really useful to have advice on where the best spots would be. On the day everything went really smoothly, and Olga was very understanding when we arrived slightly later than planned. I really wanted some photos under a cherry blossom tree, and Olga managed to find seemingly the only cherry blossom in bloom in Central Park. The photos look amazing, and we are very happy with how they turned out. It is really nice to be able to share the special moment with our family and friends with these photographs. I would definitely recommend Gruber Photographers!
