The Shore Shot

Queens, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200

While continuing to work in the television & movie industry for several decades, I ventured into photography. My career focused on the moving image but my heart sought the individual moments, the individual frames. The perspectives were the same; to better understand how light and shadows help tell a story and define a moment. This is now a pursuit to help you document your priceless moments & story.

“Larry went above & beyond to capture the best day of our lives. Besides being timely and professional, he was so kind. He put us at ease and kept the process of taking pictures fun, even when my dress became uncomfortable later in the day. Our wedding guests loved Larry and he got such beautiful candid shots of them. I look at his pictures and I still get a little teary!”

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (49 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Queens, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!”

There is a reason I booked her nearly a year and a half in advance to my wedding! Not only is her work phenomenal, but her style of photography truly made the day so easy and seamless - very cinematic/documentary style.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer wedding photographer based in NYC and available nationwide. I specialize in comfortable, affirming wedding photography, especially for non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Maya is one of the most wonderful, genuine, and detailed photographers I've ever met, and I've worked with a lot of photographers in my line of work! My partner and I chose Maya first for our engagement photos because of their dynamic, warm style, and ended up enjoying working with them so much that we decided to book them for our wedding! My partner is quite shy and doesn't enjoy his photo being taken, but Maya made him feel so comfortable and confident. We are an LGBTQ couple, and Maya made us feel so valid and loved expressing who we are. Maya was so communicative throughout the whole wedding planning process, and constantly provided us with resources to help us with our general planning. Maya and their co-photographer took so much care and detail on the day of the wedding to get every small detail to every huge moment. Everything worked like literal clockwork, everything felt super chill and fun, and even shooting large family photos (with way too many cousins) ended up being a breeze! Maya truly cares about their work, especially their clients. We could not recommend Maya enough!!!”

“Kara was a pleasure to work with! We booked her almost a year out for our September 2020 wedding. She always stayed in touch, and when the pandemic hit made sure to let us know that she is available to figure out solutions incase we cannot go through with our original plans. Kara was incredibly professional and gave us suggestions for poses, scouted photo locations, and met with us before our elopement. She was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our wedding to be smaller and then to an elopement all together. On the day of she came to photograph us on time, gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. It was like having a friend around, which meant a lot to us since we had o one but us on our special day due to COVID. We had so much fun shooting we didn't notice our time was up! She was so excited about our photos she send us sneak peeks within hours of our ceremony, while on her layover. Needless to say we were thrilled and amazed with the end photos she provided. She had the final gallery ready for us within the timeline she provided in her contract ( actually even earlier than we expected!) The photos were presented in an easy to access gallery where you can also print them or make them into an album. We are absolutely in LOVE with the photos she took of us! We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kara!”

How many times in your life can you say: “I have fulfilled something so meaningful that it not only makes me happy but complete strangers as well?” I get that fulfillment every time I step into a wedding, an engagement session, or even capturing a new born. I love capturing the moment that exist right when a groom takes a look at his beautiful bride and can’t help but shed a tear of joy. These unfiltered moments make my job that much better. I live for those instances, where raw emotions are revealed and I can piece together a story worth telling.

From the very beginning, Michelle’s communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful—she was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and help us feel completely at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, we were hit with non-stop raining, but Michelle handled it with complete professionalism and grace. She stayed calm, adapted quickly, and even managed to turn the rainy weather into a beautiful part of our story. Her creativity and positive attitude helped keep everyone relaxed, and the photos she captured in the rain are some of our absolute favorites. Michelle’s attention to detail is truly exceptional—she caught all the little in-between moments that made the day so special, along with the big, emotional highlights. The final photos are absolutely stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. She has a true gift for storytelling through her lens, and we feel so lucky to have these memories so beautifully preserved. I couldn’t recommend her more, thank you for everything!”

I've had a passion for photography since I could walk, and as I got older, I realized I had a true passion for following people around and taking candid of them. In high school I realized I could make my career out of this and here we are today!

Awarded Best of Zola
“Georgia photographed our wedding and did an incredible job. From the start, we knew we would be in good hands, but we were completely blown away by how much we loved the final photos. Georgia perfectly captured one of the most important days of our lives. She was attentive, and not a single moment went unnoticed. A standout memory for us was when she gently and respectfully whisked us outside the reception hall to snap a photo just as the sun peeked through after a rainy afternoon — it was an unforgettable moment we’ll cherish forever. Hiring Georgia Panagi as your wedding photographer is a decision you can't go wrong with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her pricing is fair, and she was always communicative before, during, and after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our experience”

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

“I met Juan and Loretta while working at a wedding a couple years ago, and I knew right then that they'd be my photographers when I got married. There's something special about feeling comfortable with your photo team—it sets the tone for your entire day—and from the moment they arrived, they made us feel at ease. Juan and Loretta have this gift for capturing natural moments while you're just living and laughing, which is exactly what happened throughout our wedding. Their photos are stunning, and more importantly, they felt relaxed and grounded the whole time we were with them. We never had to second-guess our choice, and looking back at our photos, I can see why. Loretta and Juan are truly both amazing, and I'd recommend them to anyone without hesitation.”

Nidji Photography 
Rating: 3.4 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Queens, NY

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

“My family has been working with Natasha from Nidji Photography for the past eleven years. From my grand-niece's wedding, eleven years ago, to my brother-in-law's 100th. birthday celebration, plus many other events. And occasionally when she is unavailable, we have also had the opportunity to work with other companies. Comparatively speaking, no other photographer will take the time to position and pose every single guest/family member when it comes to family portraits. Most (if not all) will only say "ok, look at the camera" and that's it, without any regard to how they actually look. No other photographer will work for FREE just because they love their job (or a particular client! Yes, she photographs two free weddings every year! And no other photographer will stay until the very end of your event just to make sure they don't miss those extra special moments during your event. Lastly, no other photographer will say "no" to another client who's willing to pay more. That means, when you book her, you are 100% guaranteed that she will be the one photographing your event. Even with the occasional delay DUE TO HEALTH REASONS, we will continue to work with Nidji Photography for as long as possible and if you truly value the art of photography, I strongly recommend you work with this company.”

I believe great photography is made when moments of humanity are captured, especially in just the right light. Weddings require a photographer who can capture it all: portraits, tender moments, unexpected moments, touching stories, warm family relationships, beautiful venues, dancing, and sometimes even sparklers! Photographing weddings is exciting, challenging, satisfying, and never boring! I'll work closely with you to make the best of it. ~ Tom

“Tom was an absolutely AMAZING photographer! He was patient with all of the chaos ensuing in my parent’s home, he was down to earth, also, he was funny and so sweet! The photos that he took at our wedding are incredible, that you can see he has an artistic eye! He was on time for every occasion, and even wanted us to squeeze in a few more photos while the reception was occurring since the sun was setting! I saw that he worked really well with the videographer too! He was observant about everything. I am so glad I had Tom as my wedding photographer.”

The day you get married to your best friend isn’t about the size of the venue or the number of guests. It’s not about the flavor of the cake or flower arrangements. It’s simply about two people madly in love with each other, the intimate connection they share, and the memories they create along the way. After the food has been eaten, the presents have been opened, and the dress is hanging in your closet, your wedding day will still be with you – in your memories and in the images captured that day.

“Sascha was so wonderful to work with!! I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of options we had available to us. I ended up narrowing down by the type of style I saw within photographers portfolio's. Sascha seemed to capture couples in their natural-at-ease compatibility. I reached out to Sascha and throughout our entire communication he was prompt at responding. We booked 4 months in advance and I did have an idea of the type of photo I was looking for. Sascha welcomed my location suggestions and we mapped out a game plan. The day arrived and though we were nervous to be in front of a camera, Sascha made us feel at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Sascha was easy to banter with and was flexible with angles and shots. We left Sascha after the shoot feeling excited and anxious on how well our vision translated to photos. When we got the photos back we could not be more pleased!! They came out exactly how we wanted them to and I couldn't have been more grateful to have found someone as talented, gracious and kind as Sascha.”
