Ed Hafizov is a creative director and lead photographer of Zorz Studios, Manhattan-based boutique photography studio, offering alluring and daring fashion, commercial, beauty, and wedding photography. Commissioned by clients from Alaska to India, he braves both the New York City metro area and the world, eager to step out of his–and willing clients’–comfort zone to pursue original artwork with a lasting impression.

After a disappointing wedding shoot with a different photographer we had to do a do-over and we are so happy we chose Ed for that job . His photography skills are exceptional, capturing intimate moments with a unique artistic flair. He was very professional, communicative and the pictures turned out MUCH BETTER than expected. I highly recommend Ed for couples seeking a talented and professional photographer.

We don't even have our full gallery yet and we're gasping at how great our photos came out. Before we even got engaged I KNEW I wanted Katrina as our photographer I was even ready to fly her across the country to photograph our secret elopement last year. I wanted moody vibes and she gave us moody vibes. For 2 years I was sending her every instagram reel, tik tok and pintrest post as inspiration and this girl came through! She gave fly on the wall going to be honest I forgot she was even there until it came time for staged portraits. She's so easy going and just absolutely kills it!

My husband and I had our reception caterer by Chef’s Culinary Journey this past July. We had rescheduled from a different caterer, Paul and his team were a dream to work with during that stressful time, and it was a complete zephyr to schedule and added us to their already busy calendar!

Merry by Mia

  • Planner
  • Offers 5 services
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Vails Gate, NY

Everyone needs an events coordinator whose responsibility is to make sure you--and everyone at the center of the celebration--enjoy the event. Merry by Mia will be in your corner and take away all logistical stress.

We hired a day-of coordinator because although we wanted to own the process of planning the wedding, we did not want to be point persons for vendor questions, logistics, and issues on the day of the wedding. We chose Merry By Mia because we instantly felt like we were in good hands, were reassured by the fact that Mia herself had recently gotten married and knew firsthand what kind of stressors and wrinkles go into a wedding day, and because we were impressed with her podcast. We benefited greatly from working with Merry by Mia! We had a sounding board for questions throughout the planning process, making big undertakings (like finding and booking transportation for 120 people!) much much simpler. And of course, on the day of, we would not have rested nearly as easy if we hadn't known that Mia was there to represent our best interests when we couldn't be there ourselves. We also heavily relied on Mia to understand what we wanted/what was important to us and translate that to our other vendors, especially when we felt we weren't being listened to. This was invaluable to us. Overall, we were incredibly satisfied! From big planning moments down to helping me into my reception dress, the day would not have gone nearly as smoothly without Mia. I would absolutely recommend working with Merry because from my experience, Mia was reliable, understanding, and excited! It means a lot when vendors who live and breathe weddings still have the ability to get as excited over the details as you do. I would say to absolutely prioritize this expense in your budget. For me, I know that if I had allocated that money to any other line item I wouldn't have been able to fully enjoy it because I would be dealing with so much unnecessary stress and wrangling without a point person. Mia went above and beyond, listening to the long list of very particular requests we had and made sure everything was perfect. We're so thankful to her! “

Justin and Jesse are absolutely amazing! From the moment we found them, we knew we had to look no more! The live music from our ceremony to our cocktail hour simply just made our day so unique! Justin made sure they played my walk down song special for me to allow me to walk to my husband at a specific time in the song, where others made me feel it was not possible. Their music ability is just so impressive. Justin handled the reception like a pro, from our introductions to our first dance to hyping our guests up on the dance floor! He simply was made to do this. So blessed we found Skylark Music. We couldn’t have asked for a better day!

He played everything we wanted to hear and then some. He also stayed for our after party to keep playing and he seemed to be having as much fun as we were. The company itself was so easy to work with and had an online portal for us to put all the songs we wanted to hear and didn’t want to hear. We did not stop dancing all night including my grandma

Awarded Best of Zola
Zhané was an absolute pleasure to work with for my bridal hair trial! I wanted to write this early in case anyone was considering her and wanted early feedback. Her communication was always clear, efficient, and timely, putting my mind at ease throughout the scheduling process. She was very flexible with finding a time that worked with my schedule. The quality of her work and value was excellent - she truly provided a full-service experience that was both professional and fun. Zhané was particularly wonderful, as she was patient with me even though I was indecisive with what I ultimately wanted. She made sure I was comfortable and that my dreams were perfectly visualized, ensuring I looked and felt my absolute best and I knew then that she would do the same on my special day. I will update this after the wedding but if you are looking for a natural hairstylist, book her yesterday! Update post-wedding: Working with Zhané was an absolute dream. She took such good care of not only my hair but also my spirit leading up to the big day. I received her complete service which included the bridal trial (shampoo, treatment, and styling) and hair prep 1 day before the wedding (which I received shampoo, customized protein treatment, and prep for the big day) and then she was with me to finish the look at the wedding. She was so funny and got along with my other vendors (even tag-teaming with my MUA so that they both could work when time was getting short). She brings such great energy to the space and I received compliments on my hair all day. For those of you who have natural hair and want to highlight that on your big day, it is truly a no-brainer!

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. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful.

I've had a camera in my hand since I was a kid. My mom was a wedding photographer also. I spend my days taking photos because it inspires me and fills me with joy. To me, there is nothing better than capturing a beautiful moment. I have photographed weddings all over the US TX, NY and the Hudson Valley, the East Coast, as well as in Europe, the Caribbean, & Hawaii. A few more things about me… I love the ocean, traveling, exploring, hiking, dancing, the change of seasons, the outdoors, sunrises, sunsets, walking without a destination, that few minutes of magical golden light before the sun sets, life… and telling stories with photographs.

We got married at the Publick House in Sturbridge, MA in June 2024, and we had such a great experience! The place is made up of a few buildings- my (now) husband was getting ready in one building and I in another. Tony was great with communication; he kept me posted about when he was on his way, when he got to my husband's room, and when he was coming to my room. He was also quick to send sneak peak pics! We told him we didn't like posed pictures, we only wanted a few with our family and wedding party, and then to take the rest of us just being us. The pictures were great! We got the posed photos we wanted, and he was great about my idea of the wedding party being chased by a blow-up dinosaur (seriously)! The rest of the photos were wonderful, just all of us having a good time; he captured them so well! He was very professional and he made the time doing the posed pictures fun. I would DEFINITELY recommend Tony for your event!

My goal is when you receive your gallery every image will evoke the feelings of joy, love and excitement that you possessed on the day of your event or session.

Seriously we are beyond happy that we choose to go with scar vita for our wedding. She is great at what she does, not only did we LOVE our photos but our overall experience was absolutely amazing. From changing out initial date to just being an extra ear in the mist of the chaos that was being a 2020 bride to then a 2021 bride and almost a !!! 2022 bride!!! she was more than just our photographer. We are forever thankful, thank you so much for being so patient and great with us.

Neal and I were extremely happy with Driftr Films. Danny captured our wedding ceremony at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery (in Livermore wine country) on July 25th beautifully! We were so please to be able to have this memory for us. Danny was highly professional and personable, and the video and audio came out perfect! He delivered a link with our ceremony and a short reel the next day via email! The link was easy to access and the video downloaded with no problem at all. We can also use the link to share with friends and family. We really appreciated how Danny was willing to work with us to put together a package for us to just capture the ceremony. His pricing was also very reasonable compared to other vendors. He also took the time to get to know us as a couple before the ceremony through a combination of online questionnaire and a video meeting two weeks before our big day. We highly recommend Danny and Driftr Films.

If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who will go above and beyond to make your day absolutely perfect, look no further than Jenny! We can’t thank her enough for making our wedding day feel like a dream come true. Ryan and I both keep saying it was better than we ever imagined, and we know that’s all because of her. From the start, Jenny took care of everything, allowing us to enjoy every moment without a single worry. She introduced us to amazing vendors, calmed my nerves (she’s a hero for that!), and thought of all the little details that we would have never even considered—like extra lighters. Her attention to detail and thoughtful planning made all the difference. Jenny was a beautiful part of what made our day perfect, and we’ll forever be grateful. She truly helped create memories that will last a lifetime. If you want someone who will take care of everything with kindness, patience, and a personal touch, we can’t recommend Jenny enough! Thank you again, Jenny, for making our wedding day everything we dreamed of and more!
