I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to be professional but also feel like your number one fan made our wedding day run so smoothly. They’re now a part of our story forever. I highly recommend Fireside Sparrow Photography!!!

  • Serves Smithtown, NY

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!

We love weddings. To this day we still have just as much fun and feel the same excitement at every wedding as we did at that first impromptu engagement session all those years ago. This isn’t just a date in our calendar. We are beyond honored each and every time a couple chooses us to photograph the most important day in their lives. We are located in Stony Brook on Long Island.

We cannot say enough great things about Ashe Photography and the incredible team that captured our wedding day. Chris was extremely easy to work with from start to finish, and his partner Tyler was just as helpful, attentive, and professional. They also brought along a videographer partner who seamlessly fit into the team and was incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. From the moment they arrived, it was clear how detail-oriented and dedicated they are. They took the time with every single photo, making small adjustments that ended up making a huge difference in the final images. Their attention to angles, lighting, and composition truly shows in the quality of the photos we received. We also really appreciated that they consistently asked for our approval before moving forward, ensuring the shots aligned perfectly with our vision. Chris and his team arrived very early and even researched the property ahead of time to find the best locations and backdrops at our venue. They worked exceptionally well with our other vendors, coordinating smoothly and helping one another throughout the day. Despite cold weather conditions, they remained upbeat, focused, and committed to delivering an excellent experience and stunning results. On top of their talent and professionalism, they are genuinely kind people and an absolute pleasure to have around on such an important day. As a bonus, they sent us preview photos almost immediately after the wedding, which we were thrilled to receive. If you’re looking for a photography team that is thoughtful, collaborative, hardworking, and truly invested in capturing your day beautifully, Ashe Photography is an outstanding choice.

Before I was a photographer, I grew up in the wedding industry. Spending my summers surrounded by tulle, sewing machines, and brides-to-be. Long Island has been my home my whole my life and I’m always reminded that I’m never to far from the beach and fall is the best weather. I went to college at Stony Brook University studying business and marketing and keeping photography as my hobby. I chose to name my company Papillon Photography, Papillon in French means butterfly’s. Butterfly’s are significant to most and when I shoot couples, families, product or I’m behind the scenes editing the images are being transformed into something beautiful.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

From our first conversation, Jordany made us feel at ease with his friendly approach and open communication. He was respectful of our comfort level throughout the process and worked around our tight timeline without skipping a beat. We appreciated how easy he was to reach whenever we had questions, and he and Miguel showed up on time and ready to go.

Jordany and Miguel delivered great results and proved they truly care about making their clients happy.

Felisha is one of the most kind, thoughtful, and insightful photographers who you could possibly hope to work with on your big day. In our first phone call with Felisha, it was clear that she was looking for a connection with her potential clients; she wasn’t trying to sell us her portfolio, and she wasn’t trying to gauge our budget. If you’re looking for a storyteller and someone who wants to build a meaningful connection with their clients, look no further! We wanted a partner in our photographer, someone who could look beyond the standard wedding portraits and find those special, candid moments that we would be missing among all the distractions of the day – and Felisha delivered. From start to finish, we felt like Felisha had our backs and was looking out for our best interests. She listened to us and gave us whatever it was needed on our big day at that moment – whether it was relief from the stresses of the wedding day timeline or a break from the business of our reception. When it came time to review the gallery, we were blown away by the details she captured. It was incredibly special not only to see the beauty captured in the moments, but the feeling we got in our hearts as we relived our wedding weekend. It’s a feeling we hope to hold on to for as long as we can, and Felisha truly helped to make our vision a reality!

We're Hannah and Matt, a husband and wife photography and film team based in North Carolina and traveling nationwide.

From the first email to the final gallery, we keep things easy, clear, and genuinely fun so you can soak it all in.

We had a fantastic time working with Hannah and Matt for photography and videography at our wedding. They were very professional and were very good about keeping up with timelines and getting things moving. Having a large wedding party (25), we were worried about how we were going to make everyone fit well in the photos, but they did a great job capturing multiple angles of everyone. We just got our sneak peeks back and they are amazing. Before the wedding we were able to communicate with them what we wanted in terms of types of shots, day of timeline, and feel of the video. With how chaotic the day felt, working with Hannah and Matt on our couples shots made us feel more connected. Honestly, the best money we spent on our wedding.

Wow… I don’t even know where to start, but the stars literally aligned with Dani (and Jed) from Elle & Co Photography. I found Dani while scrolling bridal Facebook groups, which can be… a lot. Trying not to assume the worst from all the horror stories. I came across her and immediately knew she was it. I sent the message and crossed my fingers. Her photos were exactly the vibe we were going for. We chose to elope near Sleeping Bear Dunes for a reason… the color of the water, the fall tones, all of it. And Mother Nature gave us the most imperfectly perfect day. Wind, sand, rain… you name it. THANKFULLY we had Dani to capture it all. The amount of time, energy, and care she put into our day (and our reception back in Indy... we booked her for both) was beyond anything we expected. Her communication was top notch. She scouted, scouted, and then scouted again. Plans, backup plans, backup backup plans… which we absolutely needed. Most importantly she kept us on. time! We literally showed up to our ceremony spot and got hit with a “nope, not today” thanks to a government shutdown… even though we had permits and confirmations. But Dani already had her little hidden gem location ready to go, and it ended up being incredible. Like… better than what we had originally planned. And let’s talk about the conditions… late October on Lake Michigan, 25 mph winds, sand flying everywhere, and easily 10,000 steps trekking through dunes to chase the best views. Dani was everywhere at once making sure we got every shot. And Jed… running through sand like he trained for this moment. The two of them together are the dream team. Whatever it takes, they make it happen. They didn’t miss a single moment. From travel time to the ceremony, to the little in-between shots… even getting the perfect fall leaves shot with the Sleeping Bear Dunes sign (yes, it took a plenty of tries and yes, it was worth it). Champagne, lanterns, sparklers back at the domes… they captured all of it. And gave us just enough direction so we looked our best without ever feeling staged. And even after all of that, Dani went back and edited like crazy to balance out the fact that while we "looked fine"… we were most definitely freezing. The final photos are unreal. Our day was made by friends, family, and chosen family… and we’re so happy to add Dani and Jed to that circle. #PhotosToFriends for life!

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

Kevin at Kozmo Photography is top-notch! He goes above and beyond to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. From the moment I booked him to the moment we received our wedding photos, I knew we made the right choice. He was so personable and fun to get to know at our engagement photos that I knew he would be perfect for our wedding day. He quickly responded to all emails I sent during the wedding planning process. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to make sure he knew exactly what types of photos we wanted and to make sure we had a good game plan for the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was great at making those getting photographed feel comfortable but he also made sure everything flowed well. For example, my veil kept falling out so during pictures he personally put it back in and it stayed! He captured every moment beautifully! He was there while we were getting ready all the way until we left the venue at the end of the reception. Kevin will go above and beyond to make your day and your photos perfect!
