Steven Rosen Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (42 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

I have been a photographer for the last 20 years, shooting weddings, elopements and portraits. I'm proud to have shot more than 150 same-sex weddings, which is probably more than, well, just about anyone. That said, I’ve worked with as many straight couples as LGBTQ ones. I don't discriminate. There are many other photographers whose work inspire me, but my primary inspiration comes from painters. Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sargent, to name a few.

Awarded Best of Zola
Steven was a godsend for my husband and I. Not only is he an incredibly creative and effective wedding photographer, he helped us with insight and experience to ensure our entire day went off without a hitch. Very few people can say their wedding was perfect- but we were blessed to have not just a perfect day, but a day that exceeded our highest goals and expectations and much of that was due to Steven. We will be forever grateful for his vision, organization, insights and style.

I’m Edgar, an HTX-raised native with Salvadorian roots. I am the owner, creative director, and lead photographer at Anchor Studios Photography. I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based out of Pittsburgh, PA! However, the stories I capture don't start and end there. I love to travel to capture stories all around the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
Anchor Studios Photography was an incredible partner for our wedding day. From the moment we first spoke with Edgar, his communication was on point, attentive, responsive, friendly, and professional. The quality of their work was simply amazing - their photos are timeless, professional, and extremely detailed oriented. We were especially impressed when another photographer had to cancel last minute, and Edgar stepped in seamlessly, presenting his services to us in a very prepared and professional manner. Throughout the day, the Anchor Studios team was flexible, punctual, caring, organized, knowledgeable, and had great time management, ensuring our wedding day went off without a hitch. We are thrilled with the beautiful, lasting memories they captured for us. We couldn’t have picked a better team and would recommend them to anybody without question.

Jen did our engagement photos and will also do our wedding photos. I've never had professional photos taken before so I was a bit nervous, but she made it a breeze! The quality of her photos far exceeded all of my expectations; they were so beautiful and I truly could not get over how well they turned out and how talented she is.

Can't recommend Lindsay and Nathan enough! From start to finish they have been wonderful. They are so sweet and fun to be around. I am so happy we found them.

Lindsay always answered my questions right away and helped me put together the perfect timeline. The day ran so seamlessly. We had all of our engagement photos back within a week.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

We had a great experience with Amative Creative for our wedding! One thing that really made them stand out was that they offer so many different editing styles to choose from, so we were able to pick exactly the look we wanted. They also got our photos back to us super quickly—about a week after the wedding—which was such a nice surprise. The photos turned out beautiful and they captured all the big moments and some great candid shots. I especially love how cool the dance floor shots turned out. We received tons of compliments on the pictures! Highly recommend!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess is the BEST of the best. Truly!! We had obsessed over her beautiful work from afar for months prior to reaching out, she has the most insane eye for composition and color. Before the wedding, she kept in touch with us actively and answered all our questions with ease! But the real treat was when we actually met. Our whole wedding day (and our engagement photos too!) felt like we were just hanging out with a great friend. When she arrived on our wedding day, we jumped right into easy joking and laughing like she had spent the whole day with us already! She has this crazy knack for eliciting genuine joy in photos just by being her warm, bubbly self. We never felt any insecurity while taking photos with her. She effortlessly coaches poses and captures the silly little candid moments that make the day unique! Jess was so prepared for the wedding day, and super knowledgeable about the little wedding details that you wouldn’t consider. She offered her help and support in a way that never felt intrusive. Jess got our group photos done in a jiffy and was SO EFFICIENT. She made us laugh the whole day through and contributed to the vibes of the day so well. You can tell from her work that Jess puts so much care into editing and composing each and every shot, we have spent so much time admiring all of our photos. We could not have asked for a more spectacularly captured time capsule of our day, we will treasure these photos forever. We would recommend Jess to absolutely anyone who asks (and even those who don’t.)

My interest in photography and video started when I was twelve years old. Since then, I continued to do photography and video operation, but this time it was my career. In 2003, I began professionally offering my services and working freelance while attending college. When I got married, I was then able to see how it was on the other side... as the groom. We have received several wedding industry awards. We are happy to tell our clients about our achievements. Not only that, but we provide our clients with professional services, creative works, and memories for a lifetime.

I cannot express how amazing Angela was. She has not only a super warm personality. But also an amazing work ethic. I got the package for two photographers and they were both phenomenal. While I was getting ready(we are running about 30 minutes late) she was out taking photos of the venue, the lay flat photos, and the other details pictures. She even held onto our rings for me because the bridal suite was a wreck and I didn’t wanna lose them. All in all my experience with her was a 12/10 experience. She was one of the people who made my wedding less stressful!

Jenny Flora Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny was incredible. She photographed our engagement photoshoot and July 2024 wedding. Her eye for visual beauty and ability to understand what you are looking for with your photos makes her an outstanding photographer. There wasnt one second of our wedding day that wasnt captured because of her. We are so thankful to have hired Jenny to capture our moments. We hired Jenny after seeing the stunning photos she captured at a friends wedding, two more of my friends then hired her from this recommendation as well and i think it speaks volumes about how amazing Jenny is that so many friends hired her as well.

Our names are Tess Mayer & Julia Wang and we are photography duo based in NYC. We met our freshman year at NYU Tisch and since then have run a magazine together, worked as teaching assistants at ICP & NYU, and shot our first wedding our senior year. Our style is a blend of candid documentary and stylized portraiture - we approach your day not as strangers following you around, but as excited guests (who happen to be carrying around cameras and massive lenses) who will most likely cry during your vows. We love small, intimate and relaxed weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Tess to photograph our wedding and the experience was wonderful! When choosing a wedding photographer, you’re choosing someone to spend the day with you at some of the most emotional moments of your wedding day. Tess was an amazing choice for that role. She was kind, easy-going, and became a great friend throughout the day. We met over FaceTime well before the wedding to communicate our photo goals. She asked us to curate a Pinterest board for her and to set some “must have” photos. In addition to standard photos, we also got film photos. Her style throughout the day was to be a “fly-on-the-wall” but to also intermittently direct us to make sure we got the photos we had asked her for. My husband, who’s not much of a “photos guy”, was so impressed when we received the results. We loved working with her!

They did so much to help make our day special, from helping the groomsmen put on their boutonnieres to keeping everyone looking great and having fun.

I look at photography as a window into some of the most important moments in the lives of my clients. I love life and consider myself blessed to capture memories and the celebrations of milestones. I live for the moments when I capture the glow of a mom to be, the innocence of newborns, the first time a groom sees his bride to be or the moment when grandma decided to lay it all out on the dance floor.

Aida and her assistant not only knew how to make me and my husband look amazing, but they also understood the value in using the venue as the perfect accessory and backdrop. I posted our wedding photos on FB and one response was that our pictures were the best wedding pictures that person had seen in their entire life, and I agree!

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.

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!

I'll be there, discreetly and passionately capturing all those beautiful expressions and emotions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before hiring a wedding photographer, we were a bit hesitant—I’ve always been the one behind the camera, so being in front of it felt unnatural. My husband also isn’t a big fan of photos and was convinced he wouldn’t look good in them. But from the very beginning, Violet made everything so easy! Communication with her throughout the entire process was seamless. She was always responsive, helpful, and genuinely invested in getting to know us. We especially loved that she used the engagement session to connect with us, which made the wedding day so much less stressful and so much more fun! We felt completely at ease, and it truly showed in the photos. Not only did we love our experience, but our bridesmaids and groomsmen also had amazing things to say about working with Violet! She made everyone feel comfortable and captured such natural, beautiful moments. And the best part? My mom said this is the most beautiful she’s ever seen herself! That alone speaks volumes about Violet’s talent and ability to make everyone feel their absolute best. If you’re looking for a photographer who makes the process stress-free, enjoyable, and delivers breathtaking photos, look no further. Thank you, Violet, for capturing memories we’ll cherish forever!

We are a husband and wife team. Alongside an amazing talented group of photographers and videographers, we have been able to do what we lov for the last 19 years. There’s nothing like weddings, the emotions and feelings behind. All that we do in life revolves around family and love, from the meals we cook to how we spend our time and resources. Weddings are an extension of that. So many stories told, so many dynamics, countless unplanned moments all coming from a place of love. It is all about family and the biggest force which is love, that is where we draw our inspiration.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.

Allen Tsai 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $13,000
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Allen Tsai founded his namesake photography business in 2011, turning his passion for the art of photography and documenting poignant memories into a business. While he is based in Dallas, TX, he has covered destination weddings all over the world including Mexico, Caribbeans, Europe, and Asia. He brings a warm personality and professional spirit to his work with an airy, romantic, and dreamy aesthetic. If you’re looking for a rare balance of technical, aesthetic, and emotional skills in a photographer, you will find it in Tsai.

My first experience with Allen Tsai was when he photographed my sister's wedding. My sister herself, is a photographer. The second time I heard his name was at my best friend's wedding. HER photographer had also used Allen Tsai for her wedding. I decided to take some time and followed Allen's presence on social media and the internet. Turns out he's VERY decorated and has been featured a lot in publications. His clients are worldwide, and all the photographers I respect want HIM for the THEIR weddings. If he's the professional that all the other professionals use, I knew I was never going to entertain any other photographer. The second I got engaged, I told my wedding planner we had to secure Allen. And that's what we did. THANK GOD because it takes a special photographer to handle everything and everyone that was, My Wedding. I got married in Downtown Dallas and my wedding had very "city" vibes. I didn't want to have every "conventional" wedding party shot, and so I had tasked Allen with the burden of making my wedding photos look like "something off the cover of Vanity Fair." Not typically his route for weddings, and also confined to a VERY tight timeline, somehow, Allen was able to execute my vision. More than that, every shot from the reception is PERFECT. The lighting was consistent in every shot (and let me tell you, the lights from the stage and darkness of the room was all over the place that night). He captured beautiful portraits, but also grabbed very intimate moments between myself and my husband, our friends, and our family - shots of moments that we didn't know anyone was watching. The photos were edited and turned in record time (amazing, considering he shoots digitally AND in film) and the gallery of proofs was enormous. This was so important because I've heard HORROR stories from friends whose galleries were pitifully small since the photographer didn't have very good content to return. The gallery is easy to use and navigate, and he even offers printing services (huge if your local pharmacy does a bad job with prints). Here is my biggest jaw-drop of the experience: Allen worked alone. My wedding had around 225 guests and you would have thought (based on the photos) that he had at least two assistants. Finally, Allen is also just awesome to work with. He's kind and dedicated to his craft, and he is so respectful and polite. He rocked my wedding and I'm so glad we hired him.

It's so hard to even pick our favorites because every single one is stunning! We wanted our wedding to have a romantic, moody, old-world feel, and each photo Lucas took evoked that vibe perfectly. The photos are so romantic and tell such a beautiful story, reminding us of all the feelings we had on our wedding day. Lucas is so kind, so working with him was super easy. He somehow managed to be everywhere at once and captured every single moment of our wedding, down to the smallest of details. We could not have chosen a better photographer, and the photos he sent us (so quickly! less than two months later) will be treasured forever. Thank you, Lucas, for the memories that will last us a lifetime!

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

Hello! I am a digital + film photographer based out of Brooklyn and am ready to shoot your wedding! I was introduced to photography via my grandpa's film camera over 10 years ago and have been in love with it since. Starting out as a street photographer, I've come to cover full weddings, city hall ceremonies, engagement shoots, and more. I have a passion for capturing special moments with an intimate feel. If that's something you're looking for, I am your photographer!

Ben photographed our engagement at Jane’s Carousel in Brooklyn and everything came out great! He was a very active communicator throughout the whole process, came with ideas for staging and poses, and delivered us the photos within a week, with previews coming in within days. We would absolutely recommend him for any engagement or wedding related photography.
