“Rebeca and Andrew were great! From the moment we first reached out to them about booking, they have always been very genuine and helpful. Rebeca was very good with remembering what shots & poses I wanted. We ran behind on timing due to other reasons so I was worried we wouldn't get all the pictures done in time before the ceremony but they were great at making sure we got what we wanted. We got over 100 sneak peak photos a few days after the wedding and so far we love everything! Cannot wait to see more and would recommend R&A to anyone! Also highly recommend doing your engagement photos with them as it was a great way to get to know them & get comfortable before the big day!”

“We worked with Mary for our engagement photos and were absolutely thrilled with the results. She made us feel at ease right away, and we ended up with so many photos that looked (and felt!) so comfortable and so "us." There were no moments that felt awkward or posed, and she took the time to make sure we had captured many memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We ended up getting married abroad, but if we had stayed local we would have been thrilled to work with Mary again for the big day itself. We can't recommend her highly enough!”

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

Alex Kol Photography

5.0

“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.”

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.

Mei Day Photography

5.0

“I am not exaggerating when I say that the thing we have gotten the most complements on since our special day is the photos themselves. Mei is phenomenal at capturing tender and exuberant moments AS THEY HAPPEN. Nothing looks staged because nothing felt staged. She was there with us to make every step of what could have been a very stressful day feel as fun, loving, and exciting as possible. From booking to planning to the wedding weekend itself, Mei was communicative, gentle, and intentional. She wasn't just there to capture the weekend, she improved it in every way. I could not imagine a better photographer to work with—from communication to vibes to the photos themselves, Mei is the best of the best!”

Alex Knight Studio

5.0

“Alex Knight Studio is an 11/10. When my now husband and I were first planning our wedding, there was no one else we would have considered for the job. He has shot the engagements and weddings for more than a handful of my friends. We all keep coming back to his studio because he is immensely talented. The photos are natural and emotive, and everyone always looks good. Through his lens, subjects resemble how they must see themselves on their best day. He can play it straight or incorporate more artistic elements - for us specifically, he helped capture our unique vision for our engagement shoot that came included within the wedding package, which he always does so he can get to know the couple and their chemistry. On top of all of this - Alex is also just the coolest. He is a great hang, interesting and interested, easy going, calm, joyful, professional and organized. He becomes seamlessly apart of the party - which I'm sure is how he gets the best photos that truly capture the spirit of the room and interactions. Weddings are overwhelming and fast moving - and he's right there by your side with the right energy needed. He goes above and beyond - quelling nerves and even helped my bridesmaids fasten my veil. He knows weddings!”

I was voted Friendliest in high school (very proud of that fact), and I genuinely love what I do. I cry at every wedding, and I usually cry again when I'm editing your photos. I used to be an actor on Broadway and TV, and I think that makes me a stickler for making sure your photos are authentic and believable. (And I will help you get there!) I'm married to a wonderful man, so I've been through the wedding planning from the other side (ahh!), and we have an adorable little dog. :)

“Throughout our planning process, we made a “date night” of watching random people’s wedding videos and looking through galleries to help pick our vendors. When we came across Lightwave I said “Oh, this is what I want.” And I felt that way the entire time! Lightwave takes great care in meeting with their couples to go over the vision, the details, and the logistics to make the magic happen on the wedding day. We had a team of two photographers and two videographers, and we were in great hands. Our gallery & video media are absolutely stunning… makes us both cry every time we look at it! The artistry is amazing and the budget is worth it. We also booked Silver Arrow Band, their sister company, and that was FANTASTIC!”

“We cannot say enough great things about Angelica and her team! We are one of those awkward people that don't take many photos, but thanks to our engagement session and our wedding photos, along with Angelica's coaching, we looked great in our photos and always had a blast in our photo shoots! Our wedding and engagement photos are amazing. When we think we were feeling awkward, our photos just show us in-love and having fun. There are many romantic photos that cater to my personality, and my husband loves the editorial look of many shots. Angelica is worth saving up and booking. We are glad our friend recommended her. Thank you Angelica! Everyone, just book her! You will not regret it!”

Sasha Chou Photography Studio

5.0

“We had such a great time working with Sasha and her team of photographers and videographers for our wedding. Sasha was always quick to respond to us starting from our initial inquiry to everything else that came after, and especially when discussing changes to ensure we were on the same page before moving forward. She was very easy to work with and spent ample time with us during planning to ensure we were comfortable with the photographers' and videographers' styles. She also ensured the team was well aware of all the events and moments that we wanted captured. The team was fantastic on the wedding day. We had a full day with 3 different stops between Brooklyn and Manhattan that included two Chinese tea ceremonies, and pre-wedding photos all in the hours before the ceremony and reception. The team arrived early to each location, never missing a beat. Every moment that we asked for was beautifully captured in our photos and videos. We purchased three photo albums, one for ourselves which was included in the package, and two more for our respective families. Our albums were unfortunately in production and shipped during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the albums were in poor condition. We brought this up to Sasha's attention and she immediately agreed that they were not up to her standards and expectations. Sasha did not hesitate to call us and presented us with a couple of alternatives within a day. Ultimately, the new albums came two weeks later and were even better than what we hoped for. They are perfect! We love our photos, videos, and photo albums. Sasha and her team were very easy to work with and always listened to our input. We highly recommend Sasha Chou Photography to other couples for their big day!”
