“The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!”

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 Cleary Photo and Video was an absolute joy to work with. They captured all of the romantic energy, the emotions, and every little detail in between that was so important to us. From our first interaction, Emma delivered such a reassuring feeling and the decision to book them was instantaneous. Subsequent to booking, Emma was extremely responsive, helpful, reassuring, and professional. She and her team made us feel completely at ease and comfortable in front of the camera, which allowed them to capture the most stunning, candid moments throughout our special day (which we aren’t normally the most photogenic). Our lead photographer was Asya, who photographed with Kate and our videographers were George and Kamil. Each and every one of them brought such a calming presence and genuine excitement that we couldn't imagine our wedding day without them. The dedication and passion they have was evident upon meeting them, and they backed it up with the stunning photos and videos they delivered. We have spent hours looking at the final products they have sent us, and we really could not be happier. Our day would not have been as special without them.”

“Hiring Ihor for our wedding photography was hands down the best decision we made. The quality of the photos is simply on another level. Ihor perfectly captured the essence of every moment. Each image feels like a work of art, taken from the perfect, most creative angle. We had zero experience with professional photos, but Ihor was a patient and knowledgeable guide, walking us through the entire process step-by-step and making the session feel effortless. Beyond his skill with a camera, Ihor is an incredible person. He is a remarkably kind human being, punctual, highly professional, and wonderfully creative.

“Absolutely amazing!! The photographer and videographer made my wedding so special. They were on time and they got right to work. I didn't have to think about poses because they knew exactly how to pose us. They also were super funny and would make us laugh which was great for the photos. Another great thing about them was they made sure to get everyone into the pictures. No one at the wedding was not photographed. Everyone that was at my wedding is in a few photos which is very important. One of my favorite parts of the night was when it started snowing and I asked the photographer if he would be willing to take pictures of us in the snow. He was more then willing. Both him and the videographer out their jackets on and went into the cold and took numerous pictures. They posed us and everything. The photos came out GORGEOUS. Also the trailer and highlight videos? SO GOOD!!!!!! I absolutely love them. Such talent!!! Everyone at my wedding is racing about how great everything came out.

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.

On top of all this, she just a calming and organized presence to have around. My husband and I both often feel awkward in front of a camera and she helped us relax, enjoy, and laugh through it especially during the engagement session. She was so helpful during planning and helped craft a perfect timeline and during the day when weather was not in our favor, she helped me and my husband roll with the punches and laugh it off. We cannot recommend her enough and will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives.”

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! 🙂

“Booking Tati & Roman was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We were looking for someone with more of an editorial style with a focus on genuine candid photos, and they absolutely delivered!!! Tati & Roman took the time to get to know us and what the vibe of our wedding would be like, and it translated SO well in their photos. When we told them we were leaning into a movie theme and wanted to do our engagement photos in a movie theater, they really took the idea and brought it to life in ways we hadn’t even imagined. People are STILL talking about how cool our engagement photos were. And now we all can’t stop gushing over our wedding photos!! They captured everything so beautifully - all of the love and absolute joy of the day just shines through each photo. They took so many gorgeous photos of our loved ones too - the best photos we've ever seen of many of them! Trying to pick only a few of our photos for this post feels IMPOSSIBLE. And even the album titles they sorted the photos into matched our theme (trailer, prologue, guest stars, etc) and we love the thoughtfulness!! We really leaned into a lot of silliness throughout the day, and Tati was always game and so excited to help us pull it off. We are SOOOO lucky to have had a photographer who was just as excited about the day as we all were - and a friend who fit right in with our loved ones :) If you’re considering booking Tati & Roman, do yourself a favor and DO IT!!!!!!”

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. I plan to use Shelby and Jordan for every event in the future.”

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 definitely one of the best decisions we've made for our wedding. She was warm, kind and funny. She took the time to get to know us and showed our style through the photos. She also took our engagement photos and people still gush over it on social media. For all your intimate moments - may it be a wedding, elopement or renewal of vows, Celeste and her team will definitely deliver.”

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. With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

“We booked Hanel for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot say anymore great things about him. His email responses were timely, thorough and it was incredibly easy to set up time to meet with him to discuss his and our visions. My husband and I are not camera people in the slightest, and often make silly faces in order to balance our awkwardness. However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day. Hanel was able to handle the chaos that were my family and friends on the wedding day, and easily navigated all the different groupings for photos the day of with immense ease. He kept to our wedding timeline without making us feel rushed. Our photos were sent back to us quickly after a month, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I had never felt so beautiful in my life (neither has my husband) and Hanel was able to capture those feelings forever for us. Thank you again for everything Hanel.”

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.

“Karen is an amazing photographer with an INCREDIBLE EYE! She captures moments and details that most people miss, but that everyone wants to remember. I worked with Karen at a wedding on the California Coast and was so impressed by her professionalism, warm demeanor and efficiency. The images from the wedding (and my florals) were stunning. I recommend Karen wholeheartedly, and can't wait to work with her again!”

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 absolutely wonderful! From our first conversation, she felt like a close friend who was along for the ride, directing us for our engagement shoot and capturing every moment of our wedding perfectly. She was so kind, understanding, and receptive to our ideas, working with us to provide perfect moments. She was such a wonderful, energetic person to spend a good chunk of our wedding day with and the photos turned out amazing! Not only that, she had our wedding highlights back to us within 48 hours and our entire album back within 8 weeks! (Which was well over 1000 pictures, each one edited perfectly!) We loved working with Kayleen, have personally recommended her to our friends, and will continue to recommend her! She's the absolute best! Jack and Kelly :)”
