I recently officiated a wedding, where Natalia was the photographer. Natalia was very friendly and helpful as we prepared for the ceremony. I was able to see some of her pictures afterwards and her pictures were fire! They were so good. I also had the opportunity to see pictures from an earlier photo shoot of the couple and they were breathtaking. Natalia was in the right place at the right time - Capturing the moment. Definitely would recommend her services!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, 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.

Marilyn is absolutely incredible. She is a wonderful photographer that is there when you need her while seamlessly blending into your wedding day. She captured everything we wanted and more with such talent and artistry. I could not recommend her enough, she is the best!!!

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
Thalia is truly exceptional -- not only is she an extremely talented photographer, but she is incredibly easy and fun to work with. She is artistic, organized, leads an amazing team, and could not have made us felt more at ease during our wedding. We were absolutely blown away looking through our wedding album. Thalia and her team managed to capture every single emotion we felt throughout the weekend, in a way that transported us back to each moment. One of the defining moments of our wedding was when it started to rain during the ceremony - it was unexpected, joyful chaos, and made for one of the most special parts of the weekend. Thalia somehow managed to run in front of my husband and I as we were sprinting, smiles on our faces, back to the barn with our guests to wait out the rain. That single moment must have been so difficult to capture, but is one of the most incredible photos in the album. My husband and I didn't end up doing an engagement photoshoot, so our wedding was the first time we were formally in front of a camera. Thalia offered clear but gentle direction that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, helped us lean into the moment, and made us feel just like ourselves. We got rave reviews from our wedding party, family, and friends about Thalia and her team - she felt like part of our friend group throughout the weekend. Her energy, artistic talent, optimism, and enthusiasm is unmatched. We can't imagine anyone else capturing our wedding weekend. We absolutely love Thalia and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to hire a fantastic wedding photographer!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. 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!

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.

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, 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.

Chapel Light Studios (formerly Tri State Wedding Pros, name was changed due to way too many companies with that name and it was confusing) based out of Arverne (Queens/LI), New York, offers fantastic photography services for weddings and engagements. Tony C., the face behind the camera lens, has worked professionally in the industry for over 20 years and brings passion, artistry, and heart to every occasion. Through a wealth of experience combined with high-end equipment and creative instinct, he will capture the authentic and heartfelt moments that naturally unfold throughout the day.

Chapel Light Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography needs. From the very beginning, their communication was exceptional - they were always available to answer our questions and respond to our messages instantly. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were punctual, professional, and truly didn't miss a single moment, capturing over 12 hours of our special day. The final photos were absolutely stunning, with a beautiful, colorful style that showcased every detail beautifully. We are thrilled with the exceptional value and quality of Chapel Light Photography's work, and would highly recommend them to any couple planning their wedding.
