Rachel photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day and I had an amazing experience working with her! Her work is incredible and she captured our memories beautifully. Her timeless, classic style is exactly what I envisioned. She made everyone feel so comfortable, she even learned the names of our immediate family members (my MIL still raves about how much she loves Rachel)! We enjoyed spending most of our wedding day with her, she is lovely and made taking lots of photos so fun. She was also very experienced in creating a photography timeline and helped prioritize what was important to us on our wedding day. I highly recommend Rachel for all your photography needs!

NataliaRes Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

My passion for makeup and hair artistry was visible since a very young age. At 16 years old, I entered my first creative competition and placed top 3 for all of Long Island, New York. After years of pursuing hair/makeup as a hobby, I wanted to take my craft to a professional level and wound up at the London AOFM. The journey from NY to London gave me an entirely different perspective of the beauty industry. While learning from top artists from around the world, I honed in on and advanced my technique. I am now a freelance artist working in Bridal and with the Photo Studio Group specializing in modeling portfolios.

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby Lauren created the most beautiful wedding look that made me feel like myself and lasted all night. Abby was recommended to me by my photographer, Justin McCallum, for my wedding. From the first call we had, Abby and I clicked immediately and I knew that she would be able to bring my makeup vision to life. My mom and I each had a trial with her and Abby nailed the look the first go around. I had done a couple of other trials and was coming in a little wary, but I showed Abby what I was thinking and she didn't just look at the reference images and start working - she heard my concerns and my asks and made me feel so taken care of. Originally Abby was just going to do makeup for my mom, MIL, MOH, and me but after our trial, I expanded the list to include all of my bridesmaids as well. On the day of my wedding, My group could not stop raving about Abby and her beautiful work. She made us all feel so beautiful and our best selves. She and I worked together to build out the schedule and even when people were running late, she was flexible and went with the flow. I loved working with Abby and would jump at the chance to work with her again for any reason.

Moments happen in front of me and I make a split decision on how valuable those moments will be over time. The second I click the camera is when I confirm it was glittering gold. I look for that gold all day, constantly seeking out what is valuable. As a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a wife, I know the feeling of being in a moment, seeing something happen that is seemingly mundane, but then realizing years later just how grateful I am that I actually took out my camera and documented that memory.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Lindsay for our wedding was an absolute dream. From the moment she arrived, she made us feel completely at ease, allowing us to truly enjoy every moment of the day. Her creativity and incredible eye for detail brought out the best in every shot, capturing not just the moments but the emotions behind them. Lindsay’s energy and charisma made the whole experience so much fun—whether she had us running through vineyards or sharing a quiet glance, she made every moment feel authentic and effortless. She truly captured the essence of who we are, and the photos are a perfect reflection of our personalities and the joy of the day. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!

They made suggestions for songs as well as listened to our request on the overall vibe we wanted to created for our wedding reception. All of that was achieved.

Led by singer, songwriter, and recording artist Melody Rodriguez, the band can be heard in numerous styles such as Latin Pop, Boy Bands and 90’s nostalgia, while authentically performing standards and classics with powerhouse vocals.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Just the Melody Band was hands down the best decision we made for the entire wedding! Melody and Edvin (and the whole band!) are so talented, not to mention so versatile! My fiance and his family are from Mexico and my family is from the US, so we wanted to be able to dance to US wedding classics and early 2000s throwbacks as well as Latin pop, Shakira, and lots of traditional Mexican music and cumbia! We went into our vendor search having no expectation that we’d find a band that could do ALL of that — but we lucked out finding Just the Melody! They can do it all, and SO well! Our wedding guests were on the dance floor until 1am! They also learned our first dance song for us and performed it almost better than the original :) Above all, they were so kind and accommodating and fun to work with and they cared so much about making sure the evening went exactly how we wanted it to go. We cannot recommend this incredible band enough

Hi I'm Danielle and I’m so excited you’re here! I freaking LOVE my job! I get to come into your life, envelop myself in the magic of your love, inspire sweet interactions and freeze those unbeatable moments in time. After 6 years doing happy dances and climbing over things to ‘get the shot’, I’ve only become steadily more obsessed with illustrating love, nailing the shot, and serving my couples in every way I can. If you seek classic images with a heap of genuine emotion and a dash of adventure, I already know we’ll be fast friends. Let’s grab a virtual coffee and hang!

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could add 100 stars, I would. Danielle was phenomenal from the start. She was extremely responsive to all of my questions. One thing that I believe makes Danielle stand out from other photographers is her adaptability. For our engagement photos, our initial location did not work out, but she was quick and willing to switch locations at the last minute. She knew exactly where to go to get the perfect pictures that fit our vision. My husband and I were initially so nervous about taking pictures, but Danielle made the process so seamless and FUN! My husband and I still rave about our engagement session. For our wedding, it was a very chaotic few days leading up to the event. I had to make changes to the schedule at the last minute and she was kind and accomodating, and rolled with the punches like a true professional. She had to deal with a lot of moving parts and did it with true grace. She eased my anxiety and was a pure joy to work with. She also had her second photographer with her, Taylor who was also pure perfection, and they both worked really well with my son, who has ASD. I felt that I had friends working with me, and not just business owners who wanted to collect a payment. Her work is unmatched, but her kindness towards her clients especially during stressful times is something that you can't get from just anybody. Danielle is truly a special soul, and I will continue to work with her for future projects. I will tell anyone I can about how perfect she is, and having her as your wedding photographer is the only logical choice you can make for a smooth and happy day!

Creating visual art is my undying passion, and delivering the most beautiful and important moments of people’s lives in the form of photography warms my heart, as I can offer them a memory they can never lose.

Having Sehee as the photographer at our wedding was the best decision we could have made! We had a small wedding in Central Park, she knew all the cute spots and how we should pose for the pictures! Since taking photos with a photographer is not a usual thing for us, my husband and I were a little awkward in the beginning,  but she really made us feel comfortable and also kindly taught us what poses would look good in pictures. We were excited to see the photos, which were beyond what we expected! She captured all the beautiful moments and gave us amazing options to choose from! Sehee was very friendly and easy going. She was someone I'd like to hang out with in general. From the scheduling, shooting, and till delivering the gallery, she was professional, calm, and very responsive. I think her easygoing personality helped us not to be stressed out on our big day Everyone knows how stressful a wedding can be, and she was incredibly kind and patient with us. We can’t thank her enough for the incredible photos and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

I’m a photographer for people who don’t resonate with traditional wedding photography.

I thought I would share with you what 'Alessarro' means. 'Ales' ... taken from Alessio ... my mother's family name & 'sarro' ... taken from DiSarro ... my father's family name Growing up I was very fortunate to be close to both sides of my family. So why not name my business after the people the helped mold me into the woman that I am today. I am also forever indebted to many of them for stepping up to be a model as I cultivated my artistic ability. Ashley is a Brooklyn-based makeup artist and hairstylist; the creative force behind Alessarro Beauty.

I absolutely love working with Ashley. One of the most telling things I can say about her work (that I can't say for everyone's) is that the faces she produces look as fresh, dewy, and natural in person as they do on film and in print. Ashley is very chill and makes both clients and collaborators feel right at home. Her process is relaxed, professional, and luxurious without feeling pretentious. She's up-to-date on all of the Covid recommendations and certifications and checks in with everyone involved about their level of comfort. I also love to listen to her bonding with and educating clients as she works! Finally, I can't stress enough how important it is that Ashley is *the real deal* when it comes to inclusivity. She actively works to expand her tool kit and can handle all kinds of skin tones, types, ages, and textures. She seeks to represent a wide variety of people with her portfolio and she's culturally competent. As a vendor of color, I feel confident sending all of my clients her way because I know they'll be treated with respect, dignity, and integrity.

We are Ryan + Jillian, a husband and wife photography team. We fell into wedding photography after our own wedding when Ryan's best man/cousin Sean passed away. Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

You can't do better than Ryan and Jill. They were very responsive and communicative from the start. They are incredibly down to earth people that feel like they've been your friends for years. Don't worry about being awkward in front of the camera with them. They don't pose you, but they have little games you play with your partner that put you two in the love zone for them to expertly capture. They excel at capturing raw emotion and telling the natural (unposed) story of your wedding day. I found it so hard to narrow down which prints we put into an album and printed to display in our home because photo after photo was so beautiful. Their work is pure art. We cannot recommend these two enough!

My brother asked to meet Mellanee just so he could thank her personally for the ox tail spring rolls, lol.

Mellanee was able to accommodate all of our requests, while providing invaluable insight from her professional experience. She handled our wedding trial and day with the utmost of care.

Vsmusic4u was definitely the best vendor we worked with for our wedding. We hired a string quartet to play the processionals at the ceremony and a pianist while we are having dinner afterwards. The music was fantastic! They played unbelievably all styles of music from classical to rock and even country. Communicating with Vinny leading up to the day was so easy. He took the time to help us create the best playlist which resonates best with us a couple. We highly recommend VSmusic4u to anyone looking for live musicians to create unforgettable moments like they did for us.

Petal Design Studio

I started Petal Design Studio in 2006, making the decision to turn a lifelong love of flowers and nature into a career. I am always excited by the challenges and opportunities that each new client brings. For me, an intimate wedding dinner for 20 or a blow-out bash for 300 inspire the same attention to detail and creative expression needed to make an event that is both memorable and delightful.

Corrie is one of the best designers in NYC! It might seem hard to mess up an arrangement of gorgeous, fresh blooms—until you actually try it. There is true skill in floral design, and Petal Design has turned it into an art form. In all the special events where we partner and she pairs our rental furniture —and every other special day on the calendar— she makes the dream & vision all happen seamless with a smile.

Jura NYC is a DREAM to work with! Every bloom, every arrangement, every detail was pure magic. The flowers were so breathtakingly beautiful that our guests are still talking about them — and I tear up every time I look at the photos. Migle's creativity, artistry, and genuine passion for their craft radiated through every petal. Beyond the extraordinary talent, what truly sets Migle apart is the care and kindness they bring to their work. They made the entire process seamless, fun, and filled with joy. Their calm, reassuring presence made us feel completely at ease, and their excitement for our day made us feel so special and celebrated. I truly believe no one could have captured the spirit of this wedding the way Migle did. If you are lucky enough to have Jura NYC be part of your wedding day, trust me — it will be one of the best decisions you make. We are endlessly grateful for the beauty they brought into our lives. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Migle — you are a true artist and a dream to work with!
