Awarded Best of Zola
“We worked with Rebeca and Andrew Federico as our wedding photographer in August 2025. From the moment we had our phone consultation with Rebeca and Andrew, we loved their vibes. They seemed calm, natural, and experienced in their talent. They included an engagement photo shoot for us in the months before our wedding day, which was extremely helpful to get comfortable in front of the camera, and for them to get to know us and our personalities. Although it was a cold rainy day, we had so much fun and we came out with creative and natural photos. But of course, the most important part are the wedding photos that Rebeca and Andrew and one of their team members took. They sent a sneak peak within 2 weeks of our wedding, and finished the entire set, which was almost 1000 photos within a few months. These pictures are the most gorgeous and creative photos and they bring out the personalities of my husband and me. Rebeca and Andrew scoped out the property to utilize the best scenes for our photos, took the opportunities to seize the time during the golden hour while the sun was in the perfect position, and indulged us with silly photos we wanted to try out. We had so much fun. They really captured every aspect of the day from getting ready to the dance floor, with all the details in between like our flowers, napkins, decorations, and signature drinks. Rebeca and Andrew were extremely kind and patient with us throughout the day and maintained such calm demeanors so we could stay calm and stress free. They are also very responsive, by text or email, if we had any questions prior to or after the photo shoots Rebeca always replied with the answers we needed. We could not be happier about our choice to work with Rebeca and Andrew, and we are so in love with our wedding photos!”

“We were so blessed with fantastic vendors on our day, but Mary truly helped us bring the whole thing together. From the moment we chatted on the phone, we knew we were in great hands!! With her quote, she sent over a proposed timeline for the day and recommendations of timing / number of photographers-- we used this to quite literally plan our whole day timeline around, and we were never running low on time; everything felt according to plan and never rushed. (Family photos were SO smooth!) Her level of detail is so special, and we loved the photos captured of all the hard work we put in on the decorations, venue, etc. as well as the organic human moments filled with emotion, silliness and beyond! She makes you feel so comfortable and ease immediately, which helped bring out the sweetness and silliness in our couples photos. We also got the BEST reception photos and loved how much happened on the dance floor or at cocktail hour that we didn't even see happen (because, you know, you're a bit busy seeing everyone)! Could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're so happy we had her for our day.”

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.

“Celeste is pure magic. She effortlessly captures every single moment in its truest form, not missing a single shot. My wedding day photos are raw, beautiful, timeless, and perfectly reflective of my rainy November day in Manhattan. She’s uber organized leading up to your big day, and her attention to detail day-of is unmatched. She’s kind, easy-going, and instantly removes any stress from the equation. My wedding memories are absolutely heavenly, and it’s because of Celeste’s incredible eye and natural talent. She goes above and beyond in every way, and I couldn’t recommend her enough for your special day.”

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary.

“I've seen Hanel's work for 3 weddings before my own. I knew from the first wedding that I would one day hire him to capture mine - it was a no brainer! Not only are his photos absolutely stunning and timeless, but he is also such a pleasure to work with. (The best combo!) From virtual meetings planning how the day will flow and on the actual wedding day itself, he will help guide you through everything. He pays attention to the details that are important to you as the client, all while making sure he captures your wedding day perfectly. Wedding days move very quickly and things can get overwhelming, but Hanel's understanding of how wedding days flow allows him to take care of you as the bride & groom. Although he is working, he makes sure you also get to enjoy your big day and not get too caught up in all the business--this was something we really appreciated. Him and his team will go above and beyond and make sure there is nothing you have to worry about. ALL of Hanel's work is beautiful and intentional. He even provides such a unique experience when viewing your full gallery once it's ready. My husband and I will never forget how we felt seeing all our photos for the first time. Our wedding is a day we wish we could relive again and again, and the photos he captured did exactly that. Hanel is extremely skilled, talented and is truly the best at his craft. We highly recommend him. (:”

Hello there! I’m Karen, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of New York. I love photographing LOVE! Connections. The places we go, the people we meet, and the experiences we have along the way are what we remember most in life. I have a passion for traveling and exploring the world, and my life is filled with a lot of laughter, incredible food and wine, and photo adventures with clients turned friends.Memories are such a vivid representation of our lives and capturing the spirit of each couple, family or individual in that sliver of time is an opportunity I am very proud to call my work.

“I've worked with Karen as both a colleague and a client, and I have nothing but good things to say about her! Not only are her photos incredible, she is also a super organized and effective communicator, which makes pre-wedding planning and organizing all of the photos during the event SO EASY. She's captured family photos for me a couple of times, and they're some of my most treasured photos. She's also just a super kind, lovely person to be around - which is super important when you'll be spending so much of your wedding day with your photographer! She adds so much ease to the experience and turns out incredible photos with tons of thoughtfully edited photos to choose from.”

A documentary and editorial-styled photographer creating timeless, authentic, and emotional wedding photos based in New York City and Dallas, TX. Lover of film photography, emotional moments, fun flash reception photos and a genuine care for the couples I work with! I frequently photograph weddings in the New York area, Texas, and Southern California.

“Kayleen was simply amazing to the fullest extent! Our wedding photos turned out so beautiful. From start to finish, she was organized, communicative, and friendly. I am self-conscious behind the camera and she listened to my wacky requests. I even had a friend reach out to see if Kayleen could shoot their wedding coming up!”
