Hi! My name is Serena and I am a New York based photographer. My goal is to capture genuine moments between my couples and to enjoy the process along the way. I want all of my couples galleries to feel authentically them.

When we started searching for our wedding photographer, we looked at almost 300 (!!) people, and always came back to Serena. We couldn't be more thrilled that we booked with her! Not only is she so kind and responsive, she is really creative and excited to execute fun ideas. We got our engagement photos and are so in love with them- Serena couldn't have captured the photos better. If you're searching for a photographer, look no further and book with Serena ASAP!!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Leo for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the initial planning stages to the delivery of our beautiful wedding album, Leo demonstrated a perfect balance of fun and professionalism. When I came across his website, I reached out. I love that Leo's response was professional, yet so friendly and casual. He made the planning process so easy. He was not only responsive and organized but also went above and beyond to help us with the details. Our plans changed daily leading up to the wedding date, and he was completely flexible and supportive of our plan at every turn. Our first meeting went really well, and the prices were fair, so we booked him right away. When he showed up on our wedding day, I felt comfortable right away. It felt like having a friend who was also taking pictures of our wedding day. We had a lot of fun with him! I just got our photo gallery and am very happy with the pictures.

At The Wedding Journal, we specialize in capturing the authentic essence of your wedding day through a blend of fine art and documentary photography. Our approach focuses on storytelling, ensuring that each photograph reflects the genuine emotions and unique moments that make your celebration unforgettable.

I’ve never liked being on camera, but they made it feel like we were just living in the moment — not performing. There’s this one shot of us walking back from the ceremony, shoes off, sun setting behind us, and it looks like a still from a film. The video caught my brother’s terrible toast and somehow made it feel sentimental. I didn’t think wedding media could feel this personal.

We can’t say enough great things about Warren and his team! We met imagery.life at a bridal expo and immediately fell in love with their work and also Warren and his staff! They were all so friendly. On your wedding day, it is one of the most important days of your life. You spend time thinking about who you want in your bridal party, who you want invited to your wedding, because you want to be surrounded by people who care about you. Same thing goes with vendors but specifically your photo/ video team! For most people, there are two vendors that are going to be with you from early in the morning to late at night. Those two vendors being arguably the two most important vendors in our opinion your photo and video team and your makeup team. Your makeup team is going to make you look and feel beautiful on your wedding day and your photo and video team is going to capture those pictures of your special day to look back on for years to come! You want to have a team that is going to help you and care about you and your spouse making sure you have the best day! And that’s exactly what imagery. Life is all about! Warren didn’t hesitate to help us with reviewing our timeline for the day to make sure it ran smoothly! The week leading up to our wedding, it was not supposed to rain but as it got closer, it was calling for rain. Warren and his team remained cool and were able to go with the flow. In preparation for the possible rain during the 30 mins of our ceremony that we wanted outdoor, Warren and his team took advantage of the weather before it rained and made sure to get outdoor pictures of the venue. They did a great job at blending into the crowd when taking photos during the ceremony. Warren and his team didn’t miss a moment to capture a photo! During cocktail hour, the rain had stopped so Warren made sure we got outside to get our pictures outside that we were unable to get before the ceremony due to the rain. There’s no doubt that Warren and his team care about their couples and truly care about what they do. It’s not just a “job” to them, it’s their life. (Hence their name). Warren and his team did a great job at interacting with the guests and getting photos of our guests ! We will definitely use them in the future and you would be making a mistake if you didn’t pick them for your wedding day!! Thanks so much Warren and the imagery.life team!! - Tom and Kaeleigh

My husband and I hired Lizzie to do our engagement photos and bridal shower photos. She is really friendly, and her work comes out beautifully. I've recommended her to two other brides who also loved her work! When looking for a photographer, it was really important to me to find someone that would take timeless, natural looking photos that weren't cheesy and Lizzie delivered just that. For our engagement shoot, she thoroughly researched the location I chose (Central Park), recommending the best time for lighting and the best spots to take photos at. She delivered the photos quickly and even gave me a sneak peak the night of the shoot! For my bridal shower, she captured the most sentimental candids. The room was a little dark, but she has the right equipment with her to deliver amazing photos with perfect lighting. Aside from delivering a great final product, Lizzie is friendly and makes taking photos really comfortable. Her diligent research of the venue/location beforehand really made her work that much better. Her editing style is natural and timeless, and she was able to really capture how I was feeling at the moment.
