Working with Bryan for our wedding and engagement photos was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. He really took time to scope out the locations, find hidden gems that we had never noticed, and capture moments that felt truly personal and beautiful. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with him - he put us at ease and was extremely efficient! His photos came out stunningly gorgeous, and his blazing fast turnaround was just icing on top of it all. We literally could not recommend him enough and are so grateful to him.

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! If you’re thinking about hiring Natura Collective, then stop thinking and just say yes! Christian and Emilio are out of this world—we’re talking complete creative geniuses. We hired them for our wedding photography, and they also did our engagement shoot. From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit. From start to finish, they are excellent.

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I met Sarah a few years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. She did such a great job that we had to have her do our wedding as well. My sister is getting married next year and I told her not to bother interviewing any photographers other than Sarah. You will not find anyone who will do a better job. We absolutely love the way our wedding photos came out. Sarah is so creative and has such an artistic eye which made our pictures unique and very cool. She was so awesome to work with. She really cares about her work and her clients and it really shows. In addition to being a great photographer, she is very sweet and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her which makes a huge difference! Not to mention, a photographer that can make you smile and laugh makes for some pretty great pictures! Her communication was clear and quick from the very beginning, which is super important in the wedding planning process. She really listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t want. I could not recommend Sarah more. She went above and beyond all expectations and by the end, we are happy to call her a friend! If you are planning a wedding/event, do yourself a favor and call her!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

What a pleasure to meet and work with Nicole. She was so friendly and worked so well with the couple and the venue. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for that special touch!

I am a photo-documentary wedding photographer, specializing in capturing all the authentic and unscripted moments of your wedding day. With over 10 years of experience, I've proudly photographed hundreds (and hundreds) of weddings in NJ, NYC and destinations worldwide. Though my photography work has been published in magazines, and I've garnered my fair share of awards over the years, my proudest achievement till this day was when my youngest son finally learned how to ride a two-wheeler. I mean, c'mon: that's pretty awesome, right?

Ben Lau was the best Wedding Photographer -- highly highly recommend! From our Engagement Shoot to our Wedding Photos, everything came out beautifully! From the classic Wedding shots, to fun shots (cropping our Cat in a few) to artsy shots we didn't know we wanted. He's a pleasure to work with, keeping us laughing and having fun and at ease the whole time. He and his team are so responsive too -- which helps tremendously in the chaos of Wedding planning! His day-of timeline also helped keep things moving and organized. Thank you Ben and team for capturing our Wedding!

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

I know Dasha for many years and love working with her both on the weddings and on my personal inspirational projects (she’d shoot a number of my dresses over the years) Dasha is very easy going person, who’s always up for something new and creative.

Beautiful pictures, super professional. We had Chrissy photograph our COVID-safe mini wedding and she took some lovely romantic photos — hard to tell it was in my parents' backyard. She was really easy to work with throughout the process, always checking in. I also just love her photos — her unique aesthetic creates a fairytale feel. Looking forward to working with her again for the full wedding!

I reached out to Stef a couple of days before my last-minute City Hall ceremony scheduled for 9:30am on a Friday. That’s too early and too last-minute for many wedding photographers, but Stef was such a great sport. She took a few posed photos of the group then followed us on a walk up the Bowery and through Chinatown to get to our brunch spot, snapping fantastic documentary-style photos all along the way. We wanted to remember the moment for what it was, without staging shots. The photos were exactly what we hoped for.

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cappy Hotchkiss many times through the years and am always blown away by her upbeat energy and enthusiasm that she carries throughout the wedding day. Couples love working with her. She is professional, charming, a great sense of humor and her work is stellar. Her photographs are candid and emotionally stirring. Most importantly, they will warm your heart.

I'm a Boston based weddings & elopement photojournalist serving New England & beyond. My style is authentic, nostalgic, and a calculated blend of soft and romantic + moody and edgy. I think minimalism is lazy and I want you to look at my work and feel something. My goal is to make you feel so present that you forget I have a camera in my hand while I’m photographing you. I believe it’s my job to remind you of how beautiful and fleeting life is. My hope is that after our session is over, my work turns into some of your most cherished memories decorating your home and your hearts.

Prose Florals was sooo lucky to have worked weddings with Caroline. Not only is she the sweetest, her work is just incredible. She captured our florals for a wedding at the Rockfor Art Museum in September of 2022 and we still can't stop looking at them. From her photos we have gotten SOOO many compliments on the floral work we did for the wedding. Her talent is unmatched.

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Adam as our wedding photographer, and he was one of the best vendors we hired. Our wedding was in June at Greenpoint Loft, and Adam made the day even more special. From start to finish, Adam was incredibly chill and a calming presence on our wedding day, which was exactly what we needed. In the months leading up to our wedding, Adam was extremely communicative, always quick to respond and willing to go above and beyond. He provided us with excellent recommendations for other vendors and was always happy to answer any questions we had, even those unrelated to photography. On the day of the wedding, Adam's sweetness and flexibility were evident. He made sure to accommodate our schedule and captured all the special moments throughout the day. We especially loved that he offered the option to add 35mm film, which we did, and those turned out to be some of our favorite pictures. His dedication and professionalism were truly appreciated. Additionally, Adam's turnaround times were super quick. He provided us with our first look photos within 18 hours, and we received the full album in less than a month.

All 3 worked well together to ensure that our day was captured perfectly and now we have to the photo previews to see all of their hard work.

Made up of a team of experienced (and pretty cool) photographers and videographers, our Brooklyn-based studio believes that transparency is key when it comes to finding the right photographer and video team for your big day! We won't ask you a bunch of questions about your wedding guest count and venue location to try to figure out how much we can charge you or BS you about what you will receive and try to get more money out of you when it's time to get your photos. Instead, our pricing is listed on our website and can be customized through our unique build-your-own-package tool allowing you to stay in control of your budget!

We worked with Le Image in Oct 2022 for our photo booth and it was one of the easiest processes ever! We also liked that we were able to customize the photo booth template.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her. We couldn't be happier with the quality of her work, the insanely efficient communication, and to have spent the last year working with someone who is truly excited and passionate to make your experience perfect.

Far Out Feeling

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Meaghan here - I’m the one from which you’ll hear a lot of “Fuck yeah!!!” and “You guys look so hot!” My inspiration comes from our lord and savior, Janis Joplin, and my style is free movement and honesty. Howdy! I'm Brendon, a quiet Mid-Westerner turned East-Coast loud-mouth who happens to have a knack for photography, editing, graphic illustration, and all things creative. My background comes from shooting fashion shows and exclusive events for BFA.com around NYC, which made me appreciate the avant-garde.

We had a terrific experience working with Meaghan and Brendon of “Far Out Feeling.” If you’ve made it this far, you already love their style – their ability to capture both candid and staged photos artfully – and we are happy to report that the photographers have personalities to match. We loved meeting them for drinks months in advance of our wedding, which gave us a nice context for one another when the day finally came (we cannot imagine, now, not knowing our wedding photographers when they arrived to take pictures of us!) We perhaps didn’t consider how crucial this feeling of comfort was, but when you think about, you do spend a tremendous portion of your wedding day with your photographers. Meaghan and Brendon felt like friends, which made even the parts of the wedding that we don’t like (posing!) feel easy, natural, and fun. Meaghan and Brendon were incredibly responsive, from first to last. They always got back to us the day we had a question, and even weeks after our wedding, they were responding to our technical difficulties within minutes. And the photos themselves turned out great! Again, you’ve probably seen evidence of this already. We cannot wait to print them, frame them, and, in all likelihood, post them relentlessly to our Instagram stories. A huge thank you to Meaghan and Brendon, who we recommend whole-heartedly.

A Parisian transplant based in Brooklyn, I fell into with wedding photography very randomly on a New Year's Eve and it was an instant match for me. Since then, I've shot weddings in all sorts of venues from massive mansions to art galleries in New-York, Paris, the French Riviera, Scotland, and Portugal. When I'm not shooting weddings, you'll find me at home with my cat and husband, or travelling across the world. 30 countries and counting!

I am so glad we chose Carole as our wedding photographer!! She was very communicative and down to earth. By the time the wedding came along, even though we hadn’t met, I already felt like I knew her. She put my husband and I at ease (we’re both awkward in front of a camera) and had amazing ideas for poses and shooting locations. The photos we’ve received so far are absolutely stunning, we couldn’t be happier!

When I was a little girl, my favorite part about making the trip to Argentina to visit my grandparents, was rummaging through their old boxes of prints on a rainy day and just imagining life through those photos. I think that's what started my passion for photography. Knowing that a photo can have such an impact on a child, someone who hasn't even met you yet, makes taking them all the more meaningful. I am passionate about making meaningful images for others because I know how important those photos will be in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Carolina for our wedding, and we couldn’t be happier with our decision! From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and at ease, which was such a relief for two people who aren’t always the most comfortable in front of the camera. Her pre-wedding connection shoot was a fantastic way for us to get to know her better and for her to understand our personalities and what we were looking for. It was a great way to break the ice and helped us feel much more relaxed on the big day. Throughout the entire process, Carolina was not only professional but also genuinely kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond, even giving us a few sneak peek shots early, which was such a thoughtful touch and helped us relive some of the best moments right away. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She captured our day in such a beautiful, authentic way, and we are so grateful for all her hard work. If you're looking for someone who is not just talented but also warm and genuinely cares about making you feel comfortable and happy, we highly recommend Carolina!!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York.

I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Snowdrop Creative Co. was born from a dream. A dream that I could do the things that I LOVE, be present for my children and my partner, and create work that I am proud of. It sounds like what we all wish for, right? Well, it isn't always so simple as "I want this, so I'm doing it." I spent ten years in retail management. I spent long days away from my family, only to get home to them and be too tired to enjoy my time with them. My life was cold and dreary, and I knew something had to change. And so, Snowdrop was born. A place where I can create and love what I do. Capture memories and magic and joy in a single moment.

Alex photographed AND officiated our little last minute Vegas elopement and we had so much fun! She was incredibly creative and got some of the coolest shots. She even managed to capture those sweet little moments you didn’t even know you’d want photos of. She made the whole process easy, fun, STRESS FREE and made me feel beautiful on my wedding day. The photos and videos turned out amazing!!! Thank you Alex!!!!

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina was a pleasure to work with. We hired her to photograph our wedding in upstate NY and the whole experience was such a pleasure. We are both pretty shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera, and our wedding was as casual as they come, and Nina fit right into that. I feel like I found a best kept photographer secret and am so grateful we chose her!
