Eugene did an amazing job for us at our wedding shoot. Helping with all aspects of the shoot, getting the most out of the location, and the pics with individual family members. He got fantastic pics with our 1-year-old son, which isn’t easy. He was polite and courteous throughout kindly guiding us to get beautiful pictures that we treasure. The end result was much more than we could have imagined!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Marilyn was such a treat. She’s so warm, and communicating with her is a breeze. Both my husband and I were more interested in capturing the moments of our wedding day rather than spending loads of time on staged family portraits. Marilyn and her assistant Emma were great at getting the shots your grandparents will want while also capturing the essence of your night. She asked great questions, made sure we felt comfortable at every turn, and fully captured the essence of my (camera-shy) husband. Don’t hesitate to work with her!!

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Thalia is a NYC & destination wedding photographer based in Queens, NY. Being the lead photographer and owner of her business, she has 10 years of experience capturing engaged couples. She has developed a keen eye for detail, leaving couples with intentional photographs that capture the authenticity of their wedding day. A New York native, she grew up on Long Island for many years where she received her BFA in Visual Arts from SUNY Old Westbury and now - if she's not traveling - you can find her enjoying a new coffee shop or re-watching The Office!

Awarded Best of Zola
Thalia is truly a dream - to work with, to communicate with & to be with. Her work speaks for itself - I’ve never seen someone capture events the way she does. It’s like reliving the day. She is simultaneously incredibly helpful and present and yet you barely notice she’s there until you review the photos and are like wow she even got that small moment! As someone who has never loved posed photos / being in wedding photos I have to say Thalia completely changed my tune. She is truly a joy to work with an artist beyond comprehension. I cannot wait for another excuse to hire her again.

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where can we even start with Kara…. We are obsessed. We first booked her for our engagement photoshoot, and the moment we returned home from our shoot, we reached out to her and booked her for our wedding because we couldn’t imagine our day with anyone else. Throughout our entire wedding experience, Kara made us feel so comfortable and natural. She goes above and beyond to get to know you as a more than just clients, and really treats you like friends that she deeply cares about. By the time our wedding, we were so excited to have Kara around as our trusted photographer AND friend. Her work is truly stunning, and all of our photos from both engagement and the wedding are more gorgeous than we could have ever dreamed of! Booking Kara will be the easier vendor choice you make for your wedding, and we would choose her a million times over if we could (and we will, because she better be ready for us to call on her for photos for the rest of our lives!!).

HI, I AM MICHELLE YOUR STORY STARTS HERE Photographer with a versatile style and modern touch. Whether you are doing a wedding, getting engaged, seeking maternity sessions, anniversaries, preparing an event, doing a family shoot or just taking pictures for fun... I'm the One!

Awarded Best of Zola
It was great to work with Michelle and her team. She was very professional, got along with all of the guests and the staff at the venue. She traveled to our hotel and to the venue with no complaints. Michelle and her team captured our wedding beautifully, from the getting ready photos, the ceremony and the reception! I love all the candids, the camera and picture quality are amazing. Everyone was able to tell that Michelle works very diligently and cares about the work she puts out. She sent the photos to us in a very timely manner and was communicative throughout the whole process. I love how at the time of booking, we had to schedule a consultation just for her to get to know us. It was camera’s on so we were all able to get a feel for who each of us would be working with. The exercise she had us do, when we needed to choose the pictures we love the best, of us during our relationship to assess if we would be a mutual fit, in terms of her working style was super cool because it showed us that she wants to make sure she meshes well with her clients. Overall, a wonderful experience & everyone should book!

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

The photograph is a medium that is both respected and cherished by all. Whether you’re leafing through your family’s photo album or choosing an image to introduce yourself to the world, a photo has the ability to cement a memory and make a statement. My mission is to share everyone’s statements and memories through my visual storytelling.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shanté is magnificent. From the beginning, we connected well, stayed on the same page, and had great energy together. She was timely and considerate, which was perfect since we had the typical wedding day emergencies! She kept us calm when we showed up after expectations, and made the experience fun and joyful so that we could serve face for our special moments. She stayed on point through the entire experience, including weaving in a photo walk around some of my favorite places as we made our way back to the venue from the main photo location. I felt taken care of, supported, and most of all, seen by the person I trusted to have a vision of the day. I can’t be more enthusiastic and grateful about the experience Shanté gave me and my new husband. I never plan to do this again, but if I did, she would be at the top of the list of vendors to call! She and her assistant poured kindness into our day, and it was delightful to return the favor.

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.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

Hey there, I'm Amber! I’m a NYC Wedding photographer who’s in love with capturing those magical moments that make your day unforgettable. I left my job as a High School Advocate Counselor so that I get to do what I love everyday.

Amber's professionalism and creativity shined through as she captured beautiful, candid moments that we'll cherish forever.

Hi! I’m a New York-based photographer currently residing in Long Island City, New York. But it all began in Siberia, Russia where I was born and raised and was supposed to live happily ever after working in the financial department of an airline company. But after a few years I decided to make a big change and move to New York City, the city that conquered me with all of its happenings, grandeur and diversity.

Tatiana came highly recommended, and for good reason. We had her do 3 separate shoots for us - engagement, rehearsal dinner, and wedding. She is very responsive, easy to work with, and of course, takes beyond beautiful photos. She made our photoshoot feel easy, the pictures came out natural looking, and captured the emotion and energy we had hoped for. If you're looking for a photographer, Tatiana Kiseleva is as good as they come.

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Veil & Film was the perfect choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the beginning, their communication was efficient, precise and incredibly patient as we navigated the many details of our big day. On the wedding day, their team proved to be hardworking, creative and dignified in their approach. They were very accommodating when our timeline shifted, and if we requested specific themed photos, they had additional creative shots in mind on the spot which was so impressive. We were tearfully happy when we received the final photos and videos - it was like reliving the whole wedding all over again. We are currently expecting and will definitely be using Veil & Film to capture our baby shower as well. This amazing team truly helped make our special day unforgettable.

Sascha Reinking Photography LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer.

We are incredibly happy with our wedding photos! Bailey really has "the eye." Her artsy and elegant photos are magazine-worthy and really tell a story. If you're looking for the opposite of cheesy wedding photography, your search ends here. I was already quite certain I was going to book Bailey based on her portfolio alone, but the introductory video phone call sealed the deal. Bailey's warm and friendly personality really puts you at ease, and by the time our wedding day(s) (an elopement and later reception) arrived, it felt like we were having our pictures taken by a dear friend.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher and his team paid such close attention to detail, and made the day so loving and fun. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day.

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. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words can only go so far to describe Justin's work -- and Justin! He is so good at what he does and it shows in each and every picture. He takes the time to make you feel comfortable, especially for those who find picture taking out of their comfort zone, and he does it in the most genuine way. He actually makes you laugh and smile, not pretend for the camera. He's got a ton of ideas of course and knows what looks right in what setting or lighting, but asks for your input in case there's anything you really wanted to do, so you become a team. And as though you aren't already on a high from such a great session, when you see the pictures themselves, well... I'm a writer and even I find it's hard to place in words. I've personally never seen myself the way I did in those pictures he took, and it meant the world to me to capture that and the love my fiance and I share. Justin accomplishes all of that and more and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking for quality photography, absolute professionalism and the kindest heart.

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

In every regard, Cesario was a delight to work with. He was prompt from the very first email contact. We exchanged several ideas, he guided us along the way. Cesario worked with us in every aspect, was really flexible and easygoing. We had a semi pop-up wedding with very loosely laid out plans.. and he made everything cohesive and organized. I loved the direction he gave us in front of the camera also. I think all the guests felt really comfortable with him. Even though we were in no rush, we got our photos back within days!! Incredible. Loved our memories that were captured by Cesario! Highly recommend!

Our small team of award-winning photographers and videographers celebrate the candid, authentic beauty of your day. Because when you look back on your album you should remember the fun, easy, imperfect, personal moments that make you, you -- not how long you had to pose.

We cannot recommend Double Knot enough for wedding wedding photography and videography. Shaun and Chris (videographers) and Dashun and Vic (photographers) went above and beyond for our VERY long wedding day. Our traditional Vietnamese-Filipino wedding was a 15-hour day that consisted of a traditional morning tea ceremony, Filipino religious ceremony, and a 400-person Vietnamese-style reception. The Double Knot team was extremely patient throughout the entire chaotic wedding day. They made the perfect music video to the song we chose and an amazing full-length documentary. The audio was excellent and quality as well. The photos were so well-edited, and so many beautiful moments were captured. Their turnaround time was also extremely fast! We will always be thankful for having Double Knot, and we’re sure any other couple will be, too!

I believe that your images should look and feel exactly like you, as if you stepped out of your photographs into real life. My style is natural, vibrant and true to color and I enjoy providing a client experience that is unique, well-planned and most of all, fun! By the time your wedding arrives, my hope is you'll see me as a trusted friend helping you enjoy your day! A lifelong New Yorker, I love combining the creative with the technical and finding the beauty, art and magic in life as well as good food, dancing to 90s jams and my senior rescue cat, Ever.

Emily photographed our wedding in Brooklyn in Nov 2023. We had a small and somewhat unconventional wedding - at one of our favorite bars, with dinner at a restaurant just up the street - so we know we wanted a photographer who understood the vibe we were going for. We had an immediate connection with Emily, and she was SUCH a pleasure to work with. She worked with us in advance to plan out locations, make a mood board, and time things during the day of - the latter of which was VERY helpful. The photos themselves were everything we could have hoped for, and Emily made it easy to organize and share them, and to make prints and albums. She is super responsive, professional and easy to work with, and I can't recommend her enough!

You know when you meet someone and it feels like you've been friends forever? That's Heather for you! Heather is fun, kind, warm, and will be your ultimate hype girl! Aside from being an awesome human, Heather is a talented photographer. Don't know how to pose and feel super awkward in front of a camera like me? No worries, Heather's got you! She'll direct you on how to stand, how to put your hands, how your face should look, give you hot tips... all of it! She also has a sharp eye for beautiful landscapes. You're in good hands and will have cute photos, I promise. In addition to Heather, we were lucky enough to work with her videographer, Andrew, and another shooter from her team. The entire HCP team was so fun to work with you and will put you right at ease. I've gotten to do 3 shoots with Heather to date and am incredibly pleased with how our photos have come out. In fact, I haven't even gotten the final album for our wedding yet (just previews) and i'm STILL impressed! If you have the opportunity to work with this team, take it. I couldn't recommend them enough.
