  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

IN AN OCEAN OF PEOPLE, I'M EXCITED YOU FOUND ME! Send inquiry via my web allthefeels,club | I'm Mucci, a romantic storyteller who has been using photography, video and motion graphic to communicate, with over 17 years of experience. That's over half of my life! I am inspired by genuine connections, fresh air, a car ride, vulnerability, sunlight and foggy days, backyard gatherings, misty rain, singing out loud, visual poetry, and so much more. My style combines wedding photojournalism with fine art photography, resulting in nostalgic, romantic, candid photos.

I hired Mucci for my NYC civil wedding day. My husband and I were having a larger wedding abroad, but still wanted to capture the special moments of the day we were legally married. From the start Mucci was extremely responsive to my inquiry. She was easy to plan with and helped give guidance and suggestions to the photography spots I had in mind. The day of the session (3 hours) she was so fun and easy to collaborate with. She gave a lot of helpful direction from the start to make us comfortable and pretty quickly it all felt natural. The photography didn't end up feeling like a chore/posed/forced. It was like having a fun day around the neighborhood with Mucci there to capture it. When I had ideas she was also very open to them and would adjust as needed. Mucci was also flexible with her timing, as we came up to the end of our planned time she graciously caught a cab with us towards her home/near where our dinner was and took some extra snaps in a final location. Very generous of her. Receiving the portfolio was a dream. I favorited over 200 photos. I couldn't believe how stunning and dynamic they all were. My husband and I looked like models. It was a dream experience with the best outcome. I would highly, highly recommend Mucci for her quality of work and how lovely she is to work with.

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 been eyeing Millie Elangbam's photography long before we even considered doing a City Hall wedding. Once we decided on a City Hall wedding, we immediately reached out to Millie in hopes of booking her to photograph it. And we're so glad we did! Millie was extremely organized and communicative throughout the whole process. When we brought up some accessibility concerns with the City Clerk building, she was proactive in getting more information for us so that we could be well-prepared on the day of. As we went through the plan for the day, her experience with City Hall weddings was evident as she accounted for our entire time together, basically down to the minute. She was also super transparent on the parts of the schedule that were not as concrete, which we appreciated. On the day of, Millie was prompt and really great at moving things along so that we stayed on schedule. She was also really wonderful at helping us keep track of moving parts (i.e. family members) and making sure everyone was where they needed to be when they needed to be there, all while taking beautiful photos of our special day. The sneak peek photos came very soon after the wedding day, with the full gallery coming pretty soon after that. We were so happy with the quick turnaround, and even happier with the photos and how they came out :) Our family and friends loved the photos as well. We're so grateful to Millie for all of her help and would highly recommend booking her!

Awarded Best of Zola
Bryan was a great wedding day photographer. His pictures from the whole day were great, and we especially liked his candids and mid reception pictures to capture the evening. They really captured the energy of the night. We had set up outside for the ceremony but ended up inside due to weather, and he and his team very quickly adapted with ease. There could have been a little more direction to the pre-ceremony pictures while getting ready, but apart from that everything was perfect and we would definitely recommend.

He is super professional, always answered our questions about the shooting quickly, even on weekends, arrived at the photo location ahead of schedule, and was extremely friendly.

He took the photos with excellence, paying attention to the angles I wanted and being attentive to details. He corrected the posture, the bouquet, the ring, and the hair; I've never seen a photographer as dedicated as him.

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.

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.

Working with Sean and his team for our wedding was such a pleasure! From the moment we received the photos from our engagement shoot, we knew we had made the right decision. Sean has a natural talent for finding the perfect photo, and his calm and easy-going demeanor makes the whole process feel natural and stress-free. His entire team was extremely professional, including his assistant photographer. We used him for our videography as well and couldn't be more pleased. You will not regret booking Sean as your photographer!!
