Awarded Best of Zola
The hype is real future brides and grooms! Jess and Jose at La Vie Studios are the real deal. The only way you'll go wrong is if you dislike quality, wonderful humans, and amazing wedding/engagement pictures. Here's why... Our wedding pictures and video came out phenomenal! The quality and talent these two have is beyond. I love their style and approach to photography. Business-wise—They were quick and seamless with communication and logistics. They not only work well together but with the entire wedding team (wedding coordinator, stylist, chef, you name it). Also, they give the best recommendations for other wedding services—they will not steer you wrong! Thanks to them we had the best DJ and danced for 3 straight hours. My husband and I absolutely love Jess and Jose from the moment we met them. They take the time to get to know their couples and it honestly makes a difference. We love them and will forever recommend La Vie Studios. Even if Jess and Jose don't get to shoot your wedding, I trust their photographers because I trust them to the max, so I wouldn't turn them down if they aren't available for your day! So with that, we hope you highly consider La Vie Studios for your wedding photos and video!

James Anderson Photography

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

I've been photographing weddings since 2010 and it's something that I feel incredibly fortunate to do. It really is remarkable to be able to combine my love for photography and storytelling in capturing the stories of so many wonderful couples in a genuine and authentic manner over the past 10 years. I currently reside in Brooklyn, New York with my wife, our daughter and our two cats. When I'm not photographing weddings you can find me exploring the streets of New York City with my camera, enjoying a good cup of coffee, visiting art galleries, and spending time outdoors.

Could not recommend James MORE to photograph your wedding. Not only is he an incredibly skilled photographer, he is kind and friendly and fantastic to work with! We have already recommended him to family and friends getting married in the coming years. I can’t wait to see the full album of our photos, because so far they are the most beautiful wedding photos I’ve ever seen. You won’t regret working with James!

In addition to weddings, Brooke has photographed for Travel+Leisure, Vanity Fair, Coastal Living and more. Sam's work has been published in The New York Times and The Guardian.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brooke and Sam were such a joy to work with. This was the first time we have hired a photographer for a special event and we are so glad we did. During our search, one thing that stood out to us was how couples in their photos looked so natural, happy, and were all smiles! They are super fun, easy going, and accommodating especially after having to reschedule. From the start, Brooke made us feel comfortable and was even willing to help us take our engagement photos with some alpacas! On our wedding day, Brooke and Sam kept us calm, on schedule, and really captured the fun all the guests were having, especially in the bounce house :) and on the dance floor! We really loved that they were up for anything and also seemed to enjoy themselves as well. All the photos were amazing and came right on schedule. We are so grateful to have found Brooke and Sam and hope to work with them again in the future. Thanks! -S+S

Virginie's photos are absolutely outstanding. She has immense photographic talent AND she has a romantic and creative eye that results in breathtaking (and tear-jerking) images. But it doesn't end there! She is also a lovely person and dedicated and funny and professional and prompt and generous with her time and attention. She's almost too good to be true, but she really is all of those things and more.

Hi, I'm Jacq! The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I am obsessed with dogs (particularly my own, but probably yours too if you have a pooch!) and generally an adoring animal lover.

Jacqui was absolutely amazing. She made this the greatest experience a person should have on their wedding day. We touched base quite often and I really felt at ease by the time our day came. We got married in upstate NY at a Farm and Jacqi and her assistant provided us great energy both the day prior and day of. They scouted out our venue the day prior and we talked through what we envisioned the day would be like and sure enough, everything was flawless. They were organized, helpful and gave great direction. They really helped capture our day in the best way possible. Everyone loved them and we really couldn't be happier with our pics. Loved them!! Definitely would recommend these photographers!

  • Starts at $1,750
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Born and raised in New York City, I became a people's person at a very young age. I always enjoyed seeing people laugh and smile and have a knack for getting along with just about anyone. Music was my first creative venture. I became a music studio engineer and Entertainment Business Bachelor. As a career, I initially loved working on sound for film the most, which later lead to videography. After living in Los Angeles for a few years I decided to do more in regards to film and learned Cinematography and videography editing. While living in London, my love for cinema also extended to photography.

We hired Hunter to capture engagement shots before our big day. He is professional and has great communication. He captured stellar photos of us on the sandy beaches of FL. Our proofs were stunning. Don't waste any time and book Hunter ASAP!

Hi! I’m Kalin. Like Katelynn, without the T. I’m a NYC and Westchester photographer specializing in couples, families and fun having. I’m laidback, perfectly ok with last minute requests and happy to travel to your location. I live for good light and capturing your most magical moments in all of their authenticity.

I want you to leave our time together feeling like you have a friend, and look back on your photos remembering your life is a movie.

I was drawn to Kalin’s style of photography. My husband and I were hoping to have more of a simple wedding, and wanted the pictures to feel real and not posed. When I saw her work online I felt like she would capture exactly that, and she did! She was easy to work with, curious about who we are and how we met and what we wanted for our day. She was relaxed and friendly. We love our gallery of treasured moments and would recommend Kalin if you’re in the market for the same authentic type of documentation of your day!

The heart of photography is storytelling. I bring my experience as a photojournalist to tell your story. Each event is as unique as you are and the images reflect the genuine love you feel and people you care most about. It's my objective to capture your story by preserving the memories of how you felt on that special day. The power of photography lies in capturing a split second of a moment in time. I believe that the spontaneous moments are the foundation of any meaningful experience. I specialize in a candid and unobtrusive approach by focusing on the big and small moments, the interactions and relationships.

Awarded Best of Zola
Being in the wedding industry for 5 years now, I've worked with my fair share of photographers and Agaton is one of the best! If you're like me and are not comfortable in front of a camera, then you'll want Agaton to be your photographer. He has a way of gently guiding you to show your most genuine selves and the intimate connection you have with your partner. His down-to-earth, humble energy is soothing, especially during high-stress environments, like weddings. He's intentional with every snap of his camera and it shows that he truly cares about capturing those memories for his couples and their families.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

Justin Lee Weddings

  • Editorial style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Drawing inspiration from films, photojournalism, and fine art— my work is best described as cinematic and timeless. From photographing small to large weddings, intimate elopements, to covering the Tony Awards— I've learned that every wedding & event is important and unique. My approach as a photographer is to not only create images that feel honest and interesting, but to document a story— while subtly being in the background. Capturing moments you were in the middle of, and moments that you probably never even saw— so that one day when you look back on these images years from now, you'll be reminded of what that day was.

Please book Justin for your special event - he is amazingly talented and the kindest soul to share your day with. We booked Justin for our wedding and by far it was the best decision we made for the day. From the moment we met to discuss the photography (prior to any sort of contract), Justin felt genuinely invested in the day, our happiness, and felt like a good friend. As the process continued on, he helped us remain organized and had clear expertise in how best to time manage and execute the photography. He was readily available for any questions and gave excellent suggestions in what might be needed during the photography that we had not thought of. When the wedding day finally arrived, Justin was an immediate calming presence and source of joy. He made everyone feel so relaxed and I think that is so important in photography to capture a momentous occasion. The photos turned out stunning and we will cherish them forever. Everything was exactly according to timeline (even early!). I can not thank Justin enough for playing such an important role in our wedding and making such incredible memories with us.

Hi! My name is Herti. I’m originally from Albania where I first started doing photography and then moved to NY, that was about 5 years ago. It’s an incredible feeling being the one person your couple trusts with capturing moments of their life. That’s why I put a lot of thought in every wedding I shoot. I sit down with the couple before the wedding, talk to them and get to know them. So when the day of the wedding comes they know they have nothing to worry about regarding photography. I’m a strong believer on telling a story through photography and give everyone who looks at your pictures a glimpse of your love.

Thank you a lot Herti for capturing our elopement so beautifully and also agreeing to keep it a secret and not post anything until we told everyone else.

I have been working in New York City for over 35 years. I have shot a wide range of events, performances, portraits and assignments. While I love my other work I feel that weddings are the most meaningful, beautiful and fun. From the most profound moments until the very last dance I love to capture it all.

Working beside Ellen is always a great experience and being able to pull from her well of knowledge and experience is an added benefit. Ellen, always gives the client what they want, and in some cases provides the client with a view point that they did not take into consideration to make their event a more memorable experience. Hiring Ellen will always lead to her clients walking away happy and returning to work with her again.

As your wedding photographers we are here to document your love, so don't hold anything back. Share ALL of your emotions with us and forget the "photo shoot" aspect of it. Focus on enjoying the day with your loved one and embrace the spontaneous moments. We want you to just be you! We only ask that you trust us, dream with us, and allow us to create something beautiful together.

Jess and Andrea of Forever Photography truly made our wedding on 5/29/22 so enjoyable. My husband (!!!) and I come from HUGE immediate families, so we knew it would be a lot to get everyone together for photos. Not only did Forever make the family portraits (and EVERY part) so insanely relaxing and fun, they are also incredibly kind people with talent that is shown through every photo. I've been to so many weddings where the photographers just point and shoot and don't really seem to care much about the outcome, but each photo the team takes, you know they put their heart and soul into it. My entire family and bridal party have raved about how this duo made what can sometimes be a dreadful/boring experience such a seamless and enjoyable one. From our engagement shoot a year ago to our wedding day, we know we made the right decision choosing them to be a part of the most special time of our lives. Having already received some preview photos, we are blown away and have been sharing them with everyone! It was really important to us to have a great photographer, but we didn't realize just how lucky we were to have chosen Forever until the day of the wedding where they made every moment enjoyable, really cared about making us feel comfortable, and were so patient and understanding. And when we saw the photos, we were absolutely blown away and cannot believe they captured our love, our family and friends, and our wedding as a whole so perfectly. We are FOREVER grateful!

Hi! We're Jeremiah & Cody. We met working in a music store in 2009 and instantly became like brothers ("Did we just become best friends?" "YUP!"). In 2011, Jeremiah's wife volunteered him to shoot her sister's wedding and he genuinely enjoyed it. So, he began shooting weddings. In 2016, Cody graduated RIT with a Visual Arts degree and was looking for his next move. Luckily for all of us, Jeremiah talked Cody into relocating to the Hudson Valley to help him with his weddings. And here we are! The two of us get really excited to take really cool pictures.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Jeremiah based off of a recommendation from someone who had not used him and was upset she didn’t. She had told us that her brother had used him and when she compared her photos to his she was sad she had not found him before her wedding. We met him with a lineup of photographers to meet after and we were not even out of the parking lot after meeting him before we decided to cancel all other appointments and book him right then and there. Jeremiah is the kindest soul we have ever encountered— he is genuinely funny, warm and he listens to everything you say.. and remembers it nearly a year later when you meet with him again before the big day! His personality alone makes him a 10/10 to work with and then you see your photos. He airdropped us five photos before the end of the reception and .. wow.. there is no other word but WOW. He sees the wedding in a way you do not.. he catches the REALNESS of the wedding. The love, the way you look at one another- it all just flows with him and Cody. It brings tears to my eyes writing this because he truly makes sure you get to see yourself the way everyone else does. Cody will go above and beyond (literally SCALING hills and climbing through bushes) to ensure you get shots from different perspectives. They both are awesome and I truly wish we could hang out with them on the regular.. that’s how down to earth and fun they are. Please if you’re reading this and deciding to reach out to him just DO IT! You will not be disappointed and his talent is endless. We adore you Jeremiah and Cody and are so thankful that you were part of our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

Nithya is a wonderful photographer- very easy to work with and flexible. We just received our pictures and they’re exactly what I asked for! Nithya was such a calming presence during our wedding and extremely professional and helpful. We’re both people who are a bit camera shy which probably made Nithya’s job so much harder - and yet - she made every effort to make us comfortable.

I can't recommend Justine enough, from her professionalism, to her artistry she is a dream to work with. As a photographer myself, I am nervous, awkward, and admittedly particular about having photos of myself taken. With Justine at the help myself, my partner and all of our guests were at ease and the images she captured fully represent the vibrant and loving nature of our ceremony and celebration. Thank you Justine for being exactly who you are and doing what you do so beautifully. You have captured for us moments we will cherish forever.

Michelle Alexandra Photography

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Michelle Alexandra is a wedding and editorial photographer based in Monterey, Ca and has traveled across the US to capture some of the most beautiful love stories and fashion editorials. Michelle is passionate about creating imagery that is authentic, emotional, and timeless. With a love for fashion and editorial imagery, Michelle has become know for her unique take on wedding photography. You can see it in her compositions, her use of lighting and the way she captures her subjects. Her work has been published in magazines such as People, Marie Claire, Elle, Dare Magazine and most recently Harper's Bazaar.

There are so many things I loved about working with Michelle. She is a super easygoing person and has a calming demeanor that made us feel really comfortable when taking our photos. She was on top of her stuff; always prepared and even going above and beyond like traveling to shooting locations and showing up early to capture photos, like during our welcome pool party, that weren’t even included in our contract. She is extremely talented; her shooting and editing style is perfect in my opinion for wedding photos - soft, clean, and timeless that will never go out of style. And she is just a lovely person in general. Let her work speak louder than these words though - seriously, just check out her website or instagram photos and you will see what I mean. With both our engagement and wedding photos, we were overwhelmed with how many we loved which made choosing which to share and print so hard! That’s definitely a problem you want to have :) Thank you so so much for everything, Michelle. We loved working with you and appreciate everything you did for us more than we can ever say! These photos will be a constant reminder of the love and fun we felt throughout our engagement period and wedding. If we could get married again and start all over, we would do it without hesitation and would choose to work with you every single time.

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

Yaritza was amazing to work with! She was the best we could have asked for. So nice and considerate and just perfect for our wedding!

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hi, I am a multi-cultural wedding photographer, with a taste for bold and vibrant imagery, authentic moments and a dash of glamor. Emotions drive my passion for the art form, and human connections guide me. Born and raised in another hemisphere, I have traveled since. Everywhere I went, my camera allowed me to capture the story behind the people I met & the cultures I observed. I bring the same drive to my wedding photography, where every couple, every family, and all the cultures and traditions I come across, have a different story to tell, and I have the privilege to witness and capture it all!

Abhi is incredibly great to work with! Super professional and always fun. I love his creativity and he communicates really well; which I can appreciate.

On most weekends you can find me, Robert ('Bobby'), photographing weddings—either in New York (where I lives) or farther a field: in various locations around the US and abroad. I find wedding ceremonies to be more than just a series of actions, people, and images to be “captured,” but rather recognizes them as events full of deep personal and cultural significance, particular to a specific time and place and community. As such, I assumes the responsibility of documenting these moments with great respect, believing them to be deserving of a discerning eye and an artistic hand.

We had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a few years ago when my sister got married. When we got engaged, he was the first vendor that we booked. Bobby is an incredibly professional and passionate photographer. His work captures every emotion of the day. What we love the most about Bobby is his calm demeanor and that he blends in with the crowd. He is really flexible and is willing to accommodate all needs. We are currently in the process of making our wedding album and it’s hard to choose the photos, as every one is better than the next. We are forever grateful to Bobby for capturing our special day.
