Originally from Indiana, I'm now based in Manhattan, where I live with my wife, Rosalie, and our cat, Ramsay.

We worked with Mary for our engagement photos and were absolutely thrilled with the results. She made us feel at ease right away, and we ended up with so many photos that looked (and felt!) so comfortable and so "us." There were no moments that felt awkward or posed, and she took the time to make sure we had captured many memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We ended up getting married abroad, but if we had stayed local we would have been thrilled to work with Mary again for the big day itself. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Looking at our wedding photos feels like looking through a fairytale book. The colors, the light, the emotions everything is dreamy. My favorite picture is of my husband kissing my forehead during sunset, it looks magical. The video too is breathtaking, I cried watching it.

I began this journey several years ago (formerly as Brandi-Lee Photography). Recently, I had decided to transform my brand into a more intentional & creative art. Photography has become one way I can express myself creatively while freezing a moment in time. I'm especially drawn to documentary & lifestyle photography as I love how natural the emotions are in the photos. There is a story to be told & I look forward to helping capture it on film. I like to consider myself as a visual storyteller.

I truly love working with weddings. I’m happily married, I have a wonderful wife and two kids, and family means everything to me that’s why I treat your day with the same care and respect I would my own. I’m happy to be part of this new chapter in your life. On your wedding day, my full attention is on you & your story, emotions, and moments. I believe great preparation is 90% of success, which is why I always arrive early to check the venue, light, timeline, and details. I’m easygoing, connect naturally with people, and work calmly and kindly so you feel relaxed as much as possible.

From the very beginning, Roman came across as an experienced professional who understands a wedding as a full story, not just a photoshoot. He was open to discussing every detail, adapted the package to our budget, and treated our requests with great care. On the wedding day, everything was flawlessly organized- coordination with the team, timing, and transitions between locations. We especially appreciated his help in finding a videographer; everything worked together perfectly. The final result exceeded our expectations: a cohesive, emotional, and visually striking collection of images.

Our work involves a lot of interaction between you and your partner: the way you smile, hug, laugh and goof off together. We use natural light to create artistically genuine moments. Your images should reflect you and your day, and should vividly take you back to that exact moment in time. Our ultimate goal is to be a companion with you throughout your wedding planning process as a friend, not a vendor. We're not someone who simply ‘gets the job done’— We're with you every single step of the way, from the first time we talk until your images are delivered.

Now And Forever Photography was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. Alicia, the lead photographer, was easy to communicate with, messaging and calling to finalize all the details for both our engagement session and wedding day. Her eye for detail, use of natural lighting, and creative approach really brought to life the ideas I had envisioned. When we hit a hiccup with the engagement session location closing early, Alicia was extremely understanding and helped us seamlessly reroute to capture beautiful photos. I highly recommend Now And Forever Photography and will definitely keep them in mind for any future photography needs.

She was very communicative, checking in with us throughout the time leading up to the wedding, and was always willing to call to discuss the timeline and kinds of photos we wanted. She arrived early to assess the venue and collect information. She was very enthusiastic, and did an excellent job of sticking to our timeline. She got amazing natural photos of the reception and in the process of getting our other photos. She did SUCH a great job with editing the photos. The lighting was perfect, and it made it look like my husband and I were dancing alone and intimately at times, despite there being a bunch of people on the side. Loved the photos she got of the flower girls! She also found time to get great photos of our guests and bridal party along the way. Very kind and supportive with our desires, and she gave us a 1350 photo portfolio. If anything, it has beeb difficult to narrow down which ones to use, since so many of the photos are so great.

We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him.

15+ years of experience as a Fashion Photographer in NYC, My editorial approach reimagines traditional wedding photography for fashion-forward couples, blending fine art with a romantic aesthetic. My personal passions are deeply rooted in fashion, design and minimalism. These influences are deeply steeped into my wedding work. I specialize in editorial and elegant luxury wedding photography that tells your story intimately and artfully by beautifully balancing raw emotions and styled elegance.

We wanted shots that went beyond the traditional “wedding shot,” and Ashley absolutely delivered. She went above and beyond to help capture all the intimate details of our wedding. From actual location scouting to planning the timeline to receiving the final batch of photos, Ashley’s experience and eye for detail shone through. As one of our relatives said, “OMG!

From the moment we first spoke with Kingdom Shakers Photo and Video, we were impressed by their responsive, personable, and friendly communication style. They truly listened to our wants and needs, and their caring approach put us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of our wedding, their creative and dependable artistry shone through, as they captured every special moment with an eye for detail. Would've liked more "getting ready" photos up in my room but we didn't have enough time, so make sure to book enough hours so that won't happen. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, and Rachel even helped us pick out outfits that would look best for the time of year. The wedding day photos turned out so good, and they made sure to try and incorporate all of our input on what we wanted. Overall, the final product was of great value, and we highly recommend getting the raw video footage in addition to the edited version to ensure you don't miss a single second of your special day.

Don't worry; I will most definitely get those posed family photos as well, but for most of the day, I'm there to document it all as it naturally happens. I would love to chat with you more about your wedding plans and how I can be a part of documenting it!

Awarded Best of Zola
I was a 2025 bride, and to be completely transparent, we originally planned to spend no more than 3,500 on a wedding photographer. After speaking with Candy, we decided to invest 2,000 more than our initial budget, and it was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Candy’s communication is truly exceptional—you can immediately tell she loves what she does. She is incredibly creative, adapts effortlessly to any situation, and brings such a calm, confident presence. She’s never pushy, yet she directs with grace, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. My husband and I were married at 21c Museum Hotel in Durham, and we wanted a blend of elegant, traditional wedding photos along with fun, fashion-forward, editorial-style images—and Candy absolutely delivered on both. Her editorial shots look so effortless, even though you can tell there’s a lot of intention and artistry behind them. We inquired with five different wedding photographers, but we immediately connected with Candy—her personality, professionalism, and stunning work stood out from the rest. Beyond her talent, she is genuinely one of the sweetest, most humble, and human people you’ll ever meet. Candy offers a truly elevated wedding photography experience, and I would recommend her without hesitation to any couple looking for timeless, editorial, and heartfelt wedding photography.

The quality of Mehmet's work was truly amazing - the photos he took were beautiful, detailed, and exceeded our expectations. Even though I don't consider myself very photogenic, Mehmet gave us great instructions that resulted in stunning images we'll cherish forever. We highly recommend Mehmet Demirci Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

I am so glad I have gotten the opportunity to work with Payton. She shot with us at a recent wedding and did a great job on getting everything back to us quickly! During the day she was able to work independently with great initiative. She is really thorough at giving direction to her subjects and making them feel comfortable. She has a laid back, yet effective vibe! 10/10 would recommend either hiring or working with Payton Teffner Photography.

Being behind the camera isn’t just about clicking a button and editing a photo and delivering it. It’s about making sure you capture each and every detail even if the couple doesn’t realize it. I’ve become passionate in what I do because I love the smiles that it puts on people’s faces and the happy tears that stream down their face when I deliver the most beautiful album that they get to hold on to for the rest of their lives. True love is real. Capturing my couples is like bringing a romance novel to life.

she aced my senior session! I am beyond obsessed with the pics even years later. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and she is such a fun bubbly person! you will not be disappointed with your results at all

Karlie is absolutely incredible! She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos, and I wouldn’t change a single thing. From the very first shoot, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, capturing genuine moments that truly felt like “us.” On our wedding day, Karlie brought so much energy, positivity, and excitement. She wasn’t just taking pictures; she was hyping us up, making us laugh, and making sure we enjoyed every second. She handled everything with ease, from big group shots to quiet, intimate moments, and she caught every single detail without us even realizing she was there. Our photos are stunning, beautifully composed, full of emotion, and something we’ll treasure forever. If you want a photographer who genuinely cares about you, goes above and beyond, and delivers the kind of photos that make you feel all the feelings every time you look at them, Karlie is the one. I cannot recommend her enough!
