I highly recommend PSPi not only for weddings, but for any event needing professional, reliable, and beautiful photography/videography :)!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!

Millie Elangbam Photography

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

We are SO happy with our decision to work with Millie on our wedding. She was the best (and even more). Our photos are gorgeous, and we are so grateful for all of her amazing work leading up to and throughout our wedding weekend. Ahead of our wedding, Millie did a beautiful job on our engagement photos and then sent us the most beautiful photo care package with a gorgeous and thoughtful wedding planning book. As we got closer to our wedding, we felt relaxed because Millie had planned all of the details and made sure to know exactly what we wanted and desired for the big day (and then organized everything into a very detailed timeline). On our wedding, Millie was the perfect photographer, capturing every special moment and fitting in perfectly alongside our loved ones. I could go on and on. Millie is kind, professional and hardworking. She was always on time and met deadlines. I would recommend her to everyone for their photography needs. You won't be disappointed!

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely loved working with Tati and Roman!! We knew that we wanted to work with them immediately after our first conversation with Tati. Having two photographers was a key differentiator for us because we knew that it would allow us to capture all of the important moments from our wedding day. Tati and Roman are both so genuinely warm, kind, and very easy to work with. They were quick to respond to all of our questions leading up to our wedding and also helped us organize our day-of-timeline in a way that allowed us to get all of the photos that we wanted while also providing us with plenty of time to be present and have fun with friends and family. Tati and Roman made us and all of our friends and family feel comfortable when taking photos and provided guidance when needed to ensure that we got the perfect shots. We were blown away when we got our wedding photos and are so happy with how they turned out! Tati and Roman captured all of the beautiful and authentic moments from that night and you can feel the love that was in the room. We cannot thank Tati and Roman enough and are so happy that we were able to work with them.

Celeste H. Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Celeste was an absolute dream to work with as our wedding photographer! My spouse and I knew going in that we would need a photographer who was comfortable taking charge. We are not super photogenic and lacked a vision for our wedding photos. Our families can also be a bit difficult to wrangle. However, Celeste navigated it all flawlessly. Nothing–including torrential rain and one of our fathers going missing for a surprise outfit change–phased Celeste. Celeste is also a lovely person. We met Celeste the year before our wedding at the wedding of two of our good friends, so we knew going in that she would be a fun and calming presence. She lived up to her reputation; easygoing, kind, and quick to respond to emails, she made the entire experience stress-free. Two days after the wedding we received a “sneak peek” file from Celeste of over 100 shots. We were floored by how well they came out and how quickly she was able to get them to us. About 8 weeks later we received the full album and we could not have been happier. Celeste’s photos captured the vibe we did not even know we wanted–bright, fun, light-hearted and silly. We wholeheartedly recommend Celeste for her talent and skill, adaptability, and the overall joy she brought to our wedding day.

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Absolutely THE BEST! It has been a month after our wedding and looking through our hundreds of wedding pictures just takes us back to that magical day. Michelle does an amazing job as your photographer the day-of but also helps guide you every step of the way during the pre-planning stages. Here's a few reasons why you HAVE to pick Michelle if you connect with her style: *She will make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We were very unsure as to what to do during our engagement shoot and we definitely did not want our pictures to come out as very posed, stiff or fake. Michelle took care of this in an instant, we got to talk, laugh, tell dad jokes throughout the shoot and our pictures came out like US which is what we truly wanted. The same goes for the day of the wedding, with a 12 person bridal party and multiple family configurations, Michelle was able to make everyone comfortable and naturally pose for our pictures. Not to mention, she was able to organize everyone for the church exit with the rice throw in a matter of minutes! *She will listen to what you want and provide her honest feedback with her years of experience. We were very set of having an engagement shoot in Jersey City not only was it crazy to get there, we got washed out with a huge storm (none the less she got great shots in a matter of 10 minutes!). She suggested we did another try but something more local like where we lived in Morristown. Not only were we more comfortable because we knew where to go, the pictures came out again looking more genuine in our hometown. *She is incredibly professional, takes her job seriously AND has an awesome personality. We got our pictures both for the engagement and wedding within a matter of weeks with some sneak previews the very next day! No watermarks and the possibility of downloading all of them instantly. She does her job with a smile on her face that is just contagious!

Lensy Michelle Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hi there! I’m Lindsey “Lensy” Michelle (she/her) – a New York City and Boston based wedding and elopement photographer specializing in non-traditional celebrations. My style is a mix of candid and directed coverage that seeks to amplify and celebrate what makes each couple unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we first talked about getting married, I was committed to the idea of a city hall wedding. I Googled “Boston elopement photographers” and fell in love with Lindsey’s style months before we even got engaged. We eventually ditched our city hall plans for a small(ish) wedding of 80 people at a restaurant in Cambridge but knew that we still wanted to work with Lindsey. After our intro Zoom call, she was the first vendor we booked even as we were still ironing out our exact date and location! We included a couples/engagement shoot in our wedding package, and I’m so glad we did – having the opportunity to shoot with her ahead of our wedding day put us totally at ease. I know that everyone thinks that they’re awkward in photos, but we’re not a very romantic, affectionate, or “touchy-feely” couple and I was worried about how that would work for wedding-related pictures. Lindsey found a way to keep us laughing (mostly at ourselves lol) during our entire shoot and the photos she took are a perfect reflection of us – we’re not very romantic, but we have so much fun together. On our wedding day, Lindsey and her second shooter Brian were an absolute dream to work with. From the moment they arrived, they made everyone feel comfortable and Lindsey took over running the day and keeping us on time. The locations she scouted for our couples’ photos were STUNNING and it looked like we ventured all over the city when in reality we only traveled a few blocks – her eye for architecture makes her the perfect photographer for city weddings. Every part of the day was seamless – largely due to Lindsey and Brian. They understood the shots that were important to us, stepped back when picture fatigue was setting in, captured our beloved pup from every possible angle during the ceremony, kept us (and our families) laughing all day, and got down on the dance floor while still taking pics! So many of our guests commented on how awesome they were that night, and our nieces (ages 10, 9, and 7) still talk about how much fun they had with them. We loved working with Lindsey and cannot recommend her enough. I keep describing our wedding as pure magic, and Lindsey’s ability to capture the magic and the emotion of the day was beyond our wildest dreams.

My heart lies in finding genuine, fleeting moments that tell your story. Whether it’s the laughter that makes your eyes sparkle or a tender touch that speaks volumes, my goal is simple: to turn your delicate moments into lasting memories—not just the exchange of vows and rings, but also those energetic, wild scenes of your loved ones.

We hired Hannah for our baby's first 100-day photoshoot (Baek-il). Photographing a newborn is no small task, but Hannah made the experience comfortable and enjoyable. Her patience and loving approach with our baby were remarkable. The photos came out amazing, too! Just about everyone who saw the pictures asked about the photographer. I highly recommend Hannah for her outstanding work.

My name is Maya (they/them), and I'm a queer, love-obsessed photographer operating out of Pennsylvania and traveling all over. I specialize in weddings and elopements, especially non-traditional, LGBTQ+, and multicultural celebrations. I am the 'picnic elopement in the woods' or 'weekend campsite celebration' or 'screw it, let's get married at a Waffle House' photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
There are not enough stars in the world to give Maya and their assistant Anne!! My wife and I hired them for our wedding, and they absolutely outdid themself. They were professional, timely, and incredibly fun to be around!! We even had a little mixup with family photos, and they worked through it with ease and grace. They never stressed anyone out either, which is HUGE for an event as big as a wedding. I honestly would have loved having them there as invited guests, photography aside! I’d be remiss to not mention the final photos—we have received a handful of edited photos to share with family, and they are GORGEOUS. Everybody we’ve shown them to has commented on how beautifully they turned out, and oh my god they really did!! Maya is absolutely worth every penny you pay for them and more. I cannot recommend them enough for your photography needs!!!

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby is incredibly easygoing and flexible, with a genuine focus on making your day true to you. During our consultation in the weeks before the ceremony, it was evident that we would be comfortable in front of the camera with her in charge. Aside from asking for a handful of specific family shots, we gave her full creative control of the day, and I can’t put into words how beautifully her vision came to life. Looking through her portfolio ahead of time, I admittedly expected the photos with my husband and family to be gorgeous given her clear editing and shooting talent. Needless to say, my expectations were very high for the full album. As we opened our album for the first time, we were absolutely blown away by her ability to capture the emotions of our guests during the ceremony. The photo of my mom tearing up, my best friend grinning ear-to-ear while holding my bouquet, and the sweet soft smile of my father-in-law leaning in closer to hear our vows better are all moments that I didn’t get to experience during the ceremony, but will now forever be a part of that day for me. Through photos, she managed to make an already perfect day full of even more joy and emotion. What she provided for us was absolutely priceless and I will be searching for new moments for her to capture in the future.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Hannah was such a wonderful wedding photographer! We started planning our wedding from abroad, and Hannah was great about communication. She responded to emails quickly and contacted us at multiple points to check in. We never had to worry about a thing! Her questionnaires were extremely helpful for getting us to think about the most important parts of our day and what we wanted to remember. We're not usually natural in front of the camera, but Hannah made us feel comfortable and have fun before the ceremony during our getting ready and first look shots. Hannah was prompt about sending preview photos right after the wedding and following up with our beautiful full gallery right on time. We were thrilled with the photos, and she made everyone look good. Even though we had an extremely sunny day that must have made photography difficult, Hannah still managed to capture the ceremony beautifully. The family portraits are beautiful and the photos from the reception, dinner, and dancing are the exact natural photography that we were looking for. We can't recommend her highly enough.

Patricia at East River Photography was such a delight to work with! Her work was stunning and exactly what my husband and I wanted. We were blown away initially with the gorgeous engagement photos she took of us on the Brooklyn Bridge. It's always been a dream of mine to do photos at that location and she was able to capture exactly what I wanted; the towers in the background and shots of the city behind us! Just gorgeous! We shared our ideas for the wedding photos with Patricia and after a walkthrough of the venue we were set and excited to work with one another. My husband and I had a dark wedding and Patricia was very open and loved so many of our ideas, which was a breathe of fresh air! She had no judgments and was genuinely excited to work with our themes! Day of the wedding Patricia and her assistant worked tirelessly to capture all of our special moments. We wanted lots of family photos, which my husband and I both have large hispanic families, with LOTS of cousins, Tios and Tias, so it was no easy task. They got it all! I didn't have to worry day of at all where they were or if they were getting the shots we wanted. Patricia was there and ready! When we finally got the photos WE WERE BLUSHING! We had the biggest smiles on our faces as we relived our happiest day! The photos were absolutely beautiful, captured every special moment, and we couldn't be happier. We were thrilled and so happy not only with the photos but the gorgeous album she put together. Working with Patricia throughout the whole process was fantastic, she worked within our budget and schedule which was so amazing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

Jennifer was an amazing photographer. She met all of my wants and was with me throughout the whole process of what I wanted. I can’t stress how much you would want her as your photographer. The one thing that caught my eye was her editing skills and the pictures she was able to capture. She will not only be a photographer for our wedding but any other special events that we will have in our new marriage. She is absolutely amazing and I was so happy to have her on our special day.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!

Tracie Kitt Photography

I'm a documentarian and a storyteller at heart. I capture the most real and authentic moments I can, big or small, loud or quiet. I especially love catching moments that the couple might never get to witness except in their wedding photos. I'm based in Philly, but I'm always up for an adventure, especially one that takes me away from home.

Tracie is always my first choice for a photography colleague. She's magical--she knows where she needs to be, what to pay attention to, how I like to tell a story, and how to be an all around amazing, caring, personable human being. Her extensive background in news photojournalism gives her the ability to blend in with any crowd and has honed her visual storytelling skills. Above all, she is ethical and compassionate when approaching her subjects, and understands how to make anyone feel comfortable and cared for. Her images are always of the highest quality as well as artistic, and I know she will be able to roll with the punches with things go haywire--as they often do with live events. I would hire her in a heartbeat, and have relied on her for local and travel weddings for over a decade.

I've been working as a photographer full time for the last 10 years and in that time have managed to photograph over 200 weddings or something like that. I'm from Virginia originally and was always interested in photography and got my first big break at a friend's wedding! I moved to NYC in 2011 and live in Brooklyn with my partner Austin and our two dogs Blanca and Bort. We have a very large record collection and love trying natural wines!

Karen was great from the beginning. She was recommended to us and we fell in love with her style from pictures on her website; it was just what we were looking for. I loved that we had a few phone calls to discuss our vision and the way she works. She was very organized before, during and after our wedding. Karen was great to work with; she is professional and a sweet person with a great eye.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

Working with Bryan was a joy. He is communicative, kind, relaxed, and so skilled in his art. He took the time to get to know us as a couple first and then as clients, which I'm sure helped his understanding of what we wanted and needed to capture. He knew the prompts to suggest to create gorgeous photos and was willing to work with is with the many things we wanted to try during portraits and the reception (including dealing with rain and a huge group photo where he graciously accepted standing on a chair to get the shot). He was thorough and got every shot that we asked for and used his talent and skill to give us many more that have become our favorites. The photos were given to us extremely fast and at a beautiful quality – everyone we've shown them to adores them. He was accommodating on the day and the result is nothing short of stunning – it helps us relive the day in clarity, which is priceless.

A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town.

Let’s work with each other :)

Our experience with Djaniella was amazing from the start. Our engagement shoot where we first met gave my husband and I the utmost confidence of our decision to book with Dj. She is fun, cool, calm, and creative- something we prioritized in finding our photographer. Our wedding day was obviously stressful and at times overwhelming, however Dj was always there and effortlessly brought calm into the room. She was highly complemented by our friends and family for being so kind and easy to work with. Clearly her work is incredibly beautiful as well, when she delivered "sneak peak" photos (the same night as the wedding may I add), both my husband and I were tearful. Of all of our vendors, I felt the most comfortable and myself throughout the day when with her. We would book her a million times over again, I cant recommend her enough!
