Awarded Best of Zola
From the minute we saw her photography style, we knew she was going to be great, but Khrys exceeded our expectations! She is kind, creative, and has an incredible eye for attention to detail - which was really important to us. She caught the candid moments, while also helping us feel natural in the more "posed" shots. Her ability to make us feel comfortable and almost as if the camera wasn't there is truly a superpower. She captured the exact look and feel we were going for for our save the dates, and the minute we got our sneak peek i was thrilled! She is truly so talented and so flexible with bringing the couples vision to life - she has an eye for the small moments, while also capturing those "big" moments. Could not recommend Khrys more - she is a rockstar!

  • Serves St. James, NY

I believe great photography is made when moments of humanity are captured, especially in just the right light. Weddings require a photographer who can capture it all: portraits, tender moments, unexpected moments, touching stories, warm family relationships, beautiful venues, dancing, and sometimes even sparklers! Photographing weddings is exciting, challenging, satisfying, and never boring! I'll work closely with you to make the best of it. ~ Tom

Tom was an absolutely AMAZING photographer! He was patient with all of the chaos ensuing in my parent’s home, he was down to earth, also, he was funny and so sweet! The photos that he took at our wedding are incredible, that you can see he has an artistic eye! He was on time for every occasion, and even wanted us to squeeze in a few more photos while the reception was occurring since the sun was setting! I saw that he worked really well with the videographer too! He was observant about everything. I am so glad I had Tom as my wedding photographer.

This is wedding photography lead with emotion, organized by experience, and delivered with authenticity.

Awarded Best of Zola
Words cannot adequately describe how amazing, flawless, and special our experience was. From day one, Stephanie's professionalism, eye for detail, true love for photography, and desire to capture the essence of our love story was very clear. Although we are a bit further from Stephanie (eastern MA residents), she committed to coming to southern CT to meet us for our engagement shoot and then to central MA for our wedding. When we were surprised by a pop up thunderstorm right before our ceremony on the big day, Stephanie acted not just as our photographer but as a friend and helped us navigate the nerves and emotions of the change from outdoor to indoor ceremony. Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish. We HIGHLY recommend Stephanie and her beautiful photography and plan to work with her for many more years to come.

Madison was incredible throughout this whole process. She was communicative, quick and concise in communication/planning and her work speaks for itself.

Hey! I'm Travis, the wedding photographer you've been looking for that keeps things relaxed and fun while capturing everything from the big moments, to the tiny in between details. Me and my laid back, easy to work with crew are here to document your day in every format from digital, to film, videography & vintage Super 8.

We were lucky enough to have Travis film our wedding on super 8 film and it is the most authentic and genuine content we could've asked for. Our only request was that the day felt like us and not like a photo shoot and Travis exceeded that request and provided us with a video that we can't stop watching and has us in tears each time. It's nostalgic, simple, and authentically us. We also had the vintage photo booth set up which was such a hit and allowed guests to have some extra fun off the dance floor. We can't recommend Travis and the Citrine team enough !!!

Park Ave Studio

  • Serves St. James, NY

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

Finding someone you trust to capture your wedding is such a huge weight on your shoulders, but Park Ave Studios made it easy. We booked them through a package with Whitby Castle and decided to add a second photographer and a videographer was easily the best decision we made. Ed and Will were fantastic; having two photographers allowed for so many different angles and styles that we would have missed otherwise. Our videographer, John, was equally amazing and captured the energy of the day perfectly. What really blew us away was the efficiency—we had all our images and videos back within 30 days! Plus, having personalized Thank You cards included in the package was a massive lifesaver during the post-wedding chaos. We can’t recommend this team enough!

this guy wow from the minute I booked him I knew this was the right decision I called a million photographers and everyone was crazy expensive and some felt like they were just not the right fit. Mike had a great attitude and made me feel so comfortable that I booked him right away. He gave us a winter discount and the price of the wedding photo came with engagement session. The shoot was amazing we used it as a family shoot since we had our son already and he was so good with him had him smiling the whole time. In less than two weeks, I got all my pictures back, not a preview all 1363 of them!! He captured the day so beautifully!! Him and Hunter (the 2nd photographer) did a freaking phenomenal job! I can’t wait to use Mike for all my future shoots. I think the pics speak for themselves with what an amazing job he did!!

I truly LOVE capturing love + beautiful moments in time- the funny, emotional, happy, candid and everything in between. Mom to 2 of the most loving + beautiful girls I have ever met.

My favorite things in life in no particular order are butterflies, new age spirituality, romantic movies, yoga, star gazing, chocolate, the beach and laughing.

Maria was great to work with. We are both a little camera shy, but it was easy to feel comfortable with Maria and her assistant Alyssa. We got back so many photos, and they are all so lovely! I like that she is transparent about her prices on her website, and you get so much in your package. Hire Maria if you want to love your photos and have your memories captured beautifully!

Since 1992, I've been fortunate to be a part of a fantastic journey with our Silverfox clientele. We've captured countless moments for thousands of families, and I am truly blessed to be a small part of each one. From my family to yours: Congratulations on your engagement and on this first step in your new life together. Cheers!

We truly could not have been more impressed with Silverfox and feel so lucky to have had Michele, Miguel, and Bill there to capture our wedding day. They were professionals in every sense of the word, worked so well together, and even when unfortunate weather threw a wrench into the middle of the day, they did not miss a beat. They made sure we still got every shot, setting, and moment we wanted to capture. What we loved about Michele’s portfolio was present in every way on our wedding day. She was incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, and did such a great job positioning us for the candid, happy portraits we had described wanting. She also did a phenomenal job with our engagement shoot a few months prior, leaving us with too many great options for our save the dates and invitations. On the wedding day, we were so thankful to have both her talent and calming presence with us. Miguel is as cool as they come. Having 10 groomsmen can be daunting, but he had everyone posed, ready, and organized while still keeping things light and letting us enjoy the moment. He helped everyone feel comfortable, kept us laughing, and brought such a friendly, relaxed energy to the day. It was great to have someone so talented and easygoing as part of the team. The same can absolutely be said for Bill. He is a true professional and captured everything we wanted and then some for video. We actually had a few videographers as guests at the wedding, and they commented on how impressive Bill’s setup was. He, along with the rest of the team, had an incredible ability to capture all the fun craziness on the dance floor without ever feeling like they were in the way. We were really looking for natural, loving, candid photos and videos that felt true to who we are, and this team delivered exactly that. They not only gave us great direction and posing, but also kept us relaxed and at ease the entire day. They felt like longtime friends, and neither of us ever felt awkward in front of the camera thanks to them. As mentioned, a quick thunderstorm before our ceremony threw a bit of a wrench into our family photos. The team did not blink. They quickly set up a beautifully lit space in our ballroom and worked through what felt like endless family photos with large extended families on both sides. They remembered every detail, adjusted on the fly, and still made sure we were able to take advantage of the beautiful beach shoreline while also getting back to enjoy our big day. Silverfox as a whole was also incredibly professional from start to finish. Their communication, updates, and guidance throughout the process made us feel completely prepared and confident. They made sure we gave them the information and direction they needed to be successful, and then they executed perfectly. We could not recommend Silverfox, Michele, Miguel, and Bill enough. Our wedding day was truly perfect, and this team played such a huge role in making it so. We are so grateful to have had them capture the best day of our lives.

When my husband and I were looking at photographers, Kyle Preiser was recommended to us by someone my husband works with, and I'm so glad they did! From our first meeting with Kyle we felt comfortable with him which was super important to us since sometimes we can feel a little awkward in front of the camera. We did our engagement photos at our apartment and then at a nearby park and Kyle worked with us to find something that showed off our nerdy, game-loving side and helped us feel relaxed. The pictures we got back were beautiful. Leading up to the big day, we met with him and our day-of coordinator to make sure we were all on the same page about what pictures we wanted, the timeline and offer suggestions that incorporated what we wanted with what was possible with the venue and timeline we had. It made the day-of run so smoothly. On the day, he and his team were genuinely so much fun to be around. It's like we were just hanging out. We got so many pictures taken and were able to stay on schedule. He had us laughing and really enjoying the moment. We would absolutely work with Kyle again and would recommend him for your wedding.

Hi friends I’m Britt - the one who answers your late-night emails, cracks you up during your engagement session, sends teasers as soon as possible 'cause I just can’t wait, and captures every unforgettable moment during your wedding day. As a North Fork wedding photographer, I’ve documented countless love stories for my clients, translating their favorite memories into timeless photographs that they can flip through with their grandchildren one day.

Recently engaged? Congrats! Now don’t wait another second to hire Britt Lee wedding photography!! I had received Brittany’s name from another vendor and instantly fell in love with her work! After meeting her in person and seeing how sweet, calm, kind, organized she was, I knew there was no other choice for our wedding than Britt Lee wedding photography! Brittany played such an important role in our wedding right from the beginning. From helping us establish a timeline straight away that would allow her to capture hundreds of gorgeous natural light photos (we got married in December so daylight was sparse!), vendor recommendations, and constant communication and advice throughout the entire planning process (about anything and everything I asked her!), it’s like she was our personal wedding planner! And I cannot forget the Engagement session! We couldn’t get over how great the photos were (neither one of us ever had done anything like that before or had our picture taken professionally), and we had way more fun than we ever expected (yes, my husband even admitted he had a good time!) When the big day came, Brittany arrived (early none the less) and got right to to work. She kept us on track so we never had to stress about time or anything! I’ve been in a lot of weddings these past few years and I’ve never been more calm or had more fun “getting ready” than I was on the morning of my wedding, and Britt a huge played a part in that! She gives awesome direction and never makes you feel like you are “posing.” And her assistant (also Brittany!) did a great job keeping my husband and his rowdy group of groomsmen on time as well! We had such a blast at our wedding and we were able to truly enjoy ourselves knowing Britt was behind the camera capturing it all! Brittany delivered more than half of our gallery just two weeks after the wedding and the remaining photos 2 weeks after that. To receive our entire gallery in full under a month from our wedding (in the thick of the holiday season mind you) was absolutely mind blowing! But most importantly, the photos were more beautiful than we could have ever imagined! The variety she captured not just of us but of all our guests throughout the day was amazing. I could go on and on about how thrilled we were with Britt Lee wedding photography. Bottom line, Britt is a GREAT person, someone I am so happy now to call a friend, incredibly professional, and super talented. Everything you could ever want from the person responsible for capturing one of the best days of your life to share and look back on together with each other and your family and friends for years and years to come!! Brittany/Britt Lee wedding photography is simply the BEST!!

Patken Photographer Inc established in Lindenhurst, N.Y is a family owned and operated photography studio. The ability to create stories, make subjects feel good about themselves and freeze history was beyond exciting to him. " We love the fact that people remember their lives through our eyes, our feelings, our emotions and everything we are as people

We first reached out to Patken Photography in October 2023 for our elopement photos in Long Island, and from that very first shoot, we knew we had found the right photographers for all our wedding events. They were professional, creative, and genuinely kind, making the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. They ended up capturing so many important moments for us—our engagement photos in Orlando, my bridal shower in Long Island, our Madhuram Veppu ceremony (a South Indian blessing), and finally, our two-day wedding in Orlando on 11/1/24. Every single event was beautifully photographed, and we’re so thankful we chose them to preserve these memories. Doug, Kevin, and Kenneth were incredible to work with. They struck the perfect balance between directing us for stunning posed photos and blending into the background to catch those natural, candid moments. You could tell they truly cared about capturing the joy, love, and little details that made each event special. We also decided to include their photo booth at our wedding, and it was a huge hit! Our guests had so much fun, and we loved looking through all the photos afterward. It added such a fun, interactive touch to the day, and the quality of the prints was top-notch. What really stood out to us about Patken Photography was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Whether it was just the two of us or a big family group, they created an atmosphere where we could relax and just be ourselves—and it showed in the photos. From start to finish, they were responsive, helpful, and so easy to work with. Any questions or ideas we had were met with enthusiasm and expertise. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we never had to stress about the photography side of things. The photos are absolutely gorgeous—better than we could have imagined—and we already can’t wait to work with them again for future milestones like pregnancy or family photos. They didn’t just take pictures; they gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for talented photographers who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to make your experience amazing, we can’t recommend Patken Photography enough. They were such an important part of our wedding journey, and we’ll always be grateful for their work!

I have been photographing and editing events since 2009 when I was lucky enough do this professionally. I love shooting Engagements, Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Portraits and other Special Events and get to work with other wonderful, and creative photographers and videographers. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do something I love and have passion for! I work primarily in the tri-state area, but love to travel and have photographed in many other states.

It was such a joy to have Elana photograph our small intimate wedding. She made us instantly feel comfortable and at ease. She captured so many beautiful moments and we love looking at our pictures. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple who is planning to get married. My partner and I loved having her on our special day.

Hi! My name is Nas :) I fell in love with photography at just 10 years old, when I picked up one of my dad's cameras and instantly connected with the art of capturing life. That same passion today drives my work as a documentary-style photographer. I focus on the raw, candid, and fleeting moments. The ones that may go unnoticed, but can mean the most.

I found Nas on Reddit and I’m so glad I did! She is just getting her start in her career but that was hard to tell from the beautiful, movie-like photos she delivered that captured my finances and my love doing something we love together, walking our dog around our neighborhood in Brooklyn. Nas’ style is very candid with fewer posing prompts; she takes creative shots while also making sure to get all the backgrounds we wanted. It was her first time shooting a dog and she did an amazing job capturing his quirkiness and bouncy walk. She was right on time with the shoot and delivering photos and was responsive via email and text.

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

Elise was our wedding photographer. Is she the best? She’s the best in more ways than one can ask for in a photographer. Elise goes above and beyond for her clients providing exceptional service in addition to the stunning photos she takes of your special day. From regular check-ins, her words of encouragement, to her “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help you through moments of uncertainty and crisis, she is more than a photographer - she is your teammate and someone who you can rely on. We were so lucky to have her by our side. Thank you, Elise. We literally could not have done it without you. Of course, I highly recommend her services without any reservation.
