I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

From intimate Central Park and NYC skyline weddings to romantic New Jersey garden celebrations and destination weddings worldwide.

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!

Who knew that a random Facebook group post would lead us to the best photographer ever? It’s like she had a sixth sense—she knew exactly what we wanted without us having to explain much. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if she could read minds. She worked magic with every location. A professional who is thoughtful, genuine and somehow made two camera-shy people (us) feel like models. she captured our engagement session our Korean and Chinese tea ceremonies. And let me tell you— I took every chance to be in front of her camera after that. She’s our photographer for life. The photos she has taken of us is a testament to her work ethic and incredible talent. We are forever grateful to Millie and can’t wait to celebrate our future milestones with her!

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby is the absolute best! She took engagement photos for my fiancé and I, and we truly could not have asked for a better experience or results. From the moment we booked Shelby, she was communicative, organized, friendly, and just as enthusiastic and excited about taking the photos as we were. She went above and beyond in helping us choose the perfect locations for the shoot and making sure we felt comfortable and were having fun throughout the session. During the shoot, Shelby maintained the perfect balance of encouraging us to do what felt physically comfortable and natural for us, but also wasn't afraid to give us small adjustments (like moving a hand a certain way, shifting the angle of a body, softening a smile slightly, etc.) that ensured the photos looked natural and beautiful. She immediately put both of us at ease and spent time getting to know us by asking questions about our relationship, how we normally interact with each other, if there's anything we definitely did or did not want from the photos, etc. Maybe most importantly - we both had SO much fun during our time with her. Not only are the photos themselves a great keepsake, but it's so nice to be able to think back to our engagement photos as such a joyous, fun experience. The photos Shelby delivered are all gorgeous, and she did an amazing job at capturing a huge variety of poses, backgrounds, lighting, etc. She even went back and did a little extra editing on a couple of photos that we wanted to use for our save the date to ensure we loved absolutely everything about the pictures.

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 absolutely wonderful. She is super talented and has a unique gift of capturing precious and candid moments. Moreover, she is the sweetest person and a true professional. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her services to anyone!

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 so fiercely energetic and wonderful to work with. She is very organized and so artistically thoughtful with capturing the experience that you will have once in a lifetime. I can guarantee you that she will reflect the passion that you've put into creating your special day. When I look back at her photos, I can remember the moments all so vividly--I am honored that she was there by our side every minute of our wedding ceremony!

  • Classic style

I’m Alex, a wedding photographer with 10 years of experience. My approach blends classic elegance with a documentary style, capturing both posed and candid moments that reflect the authentic atmosphere of your wedding day. Whether it’s an intimate ceremony or a larger event, I’ve had the privilege of telling love stories through my lens. Clients appreciate my attention to detail and seamless process. From guiding you through natural poses to capturing spontaneous emotions, I ensure that every important moment is beautifully documented, creating a wedding album that you’ll treasure for years to come.

There’s quite a lot to say about Alex and his work. Firstly, Alex was right on schedule and even early awaiting us. He was fully prepared and had equipment that I was not even aware we had access to. He was incredibly kind and very patient. Upon request, he provided guidance and posing insight which was a big help for us who find ourselves awkward in front of a camera. He offered his professional advice and did us a curtesy which we appreciated. He utilized the full time capturing as much content as he could and the experience was amazing. The turnaround for the pictures and his availability were also great. We have gotten only compliments on the pictures and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a true professional. I can’t wait to have him capture more of our special moments.
