I can not stress enough how much I LOVED working with Duet. My husband and I aren't really pose for photos type of people but I still knew this would be the only thing I had from the day that would last a lifetime. They are so professional and truly captured the BEST candid photos. Of course we had a few posed photos but most of the day was them working around us which was amazing! One of my biggest pet peeves is a photographer stopping people from dancing to catch a group photo. I personally would rather take a photo of the group dancing. That's just my preference. Duet made sure to emphasize that they also do not want to ever “stop” our day for a photo. Communicating them was seamless and clear at all times. The photos came out STUNNING and our videos are absolutely wonderful.

𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕕𝕒𝕪, 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕤𝕥𝕠𝕣𝕪, 𝕠𝕟𝕖 𝕔𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕒𝕟𝕪. A New York based studio providing timeless photography, cinematography + DJ entertainment for your unforgettable day. Let us capture your memories to cherish for a lifetime.

From our first conversation with Studio 27, we knew we'd made the right choice. Their communication was clear and honest from start to finish, and they treated us with such kindness throughout the entire planning process. On our wedding day, this team went far beyond just taking pictures—they had my lipstick and perfume in their pockets, kept us hydrated, and never rushed us no matter how many shots we wanted to take. Their eye for detail and artistic vision really showed in every image, capturing the moments that mattered most to us. What made the experience even better was how fun and easy they were to be around, which honestly made the whole day feel less stressful. We couldn't be happier with Studio 27 and would recommend them to any couple looking for photographers who truly care.

  • Serves Valley Stream, NY

My name's Rachel, but most people call me Rach. I'm a laugher. I talk a little too loud, and sometimes a little too much. A New Yorker, turned Bostonian, turned back to New Yorker. Traveling is my favorite thing...ever. I order in Thai food about three times a week (I know, it's a problem). My glass isn't just full, it's overflowing, and I am committed to capturing the true beauty and joy I see in the world. If you're looking for a photographer who isn't just there to click the button, but to go the extra mile and become pals with, look no further.

I have had the pleasure of working and collaborating with Rachel Leiner Photographer in Boston and cannot say enough about her organization, flexibility, positive energy, and professionalism. Rachel has an eye for photography that goes beyond just creating traditional and formal shots. She captures real, authentic moments and makes everyone in the room feel comfortable and eager to be lead by her creative eye. It is obvious that Rachel takes a tremendous amount of pride in her work and cares about the relationships and connections she shares with her couples.

Daniella Diaz is a wedding photographer in Long Island with a passion for storytelling. Using a photojournalistic approach, her work is created with the purpose of preserving your love story with intention, honesty, and free-spiritedness. The idea of documenting love - the kind that fills a room, makes people laugh-cry, and brings generations together - lit something up in me. I wasn’t just drawn to the couple’s love story, but the energy of an entire room full of people who showed up just to celebrate them. The collective joy, the nervous anticipation, the natural moments of connection. That’s the magic I never want to stop chasing!

Daniella and her assistants were all phenomenal. She is very quick with responding to texts/emails and her photos are amazing quality. She is a documentary style photographer, if that is what you are looking for I highly recommend her! She captured the essence of our day perfectly, our photos are amazing and I cannot wait to look back at them for years to come!

They made Mike and me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and were incredibly efficient throughout the entire day.

Elsie Goodman Photography

  • Starts at $3,644
  • Serves Valley Stream, NY

Hello, I'm Elsie. I'm a New York based photographer with a passion to capture people’s stories in the right light. Like any relationship, we have to vibe. I want us both to be comfortable and excited to work with each other because that’s what you deserve from a photographer. I love margaritas, my house plants, and my dog Arthur. I'm a phenomenal cook, and love bringing people together.

Elsie was by far our favorite vendor to work with for our wedding! Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she truly became a friend during the process of us working together. We started working with Elsie when my then-boyfriend had a photographer back out last minute to shoot our proposal -- he reached out to Elsie and she was immediately down to photograph the proposal last minute. We felt so comfortable with her during that shoot that we knew from that moment that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Elsie makes you feel so at ease during your engagement and wedding shoots. Neither my husband or myself are particularly photogenic people, but Elsie is great helping us find the right, natural poses AND she's fantastic at capturing organic moments with friends and family throughout the day to really give you that documentary style result. We LOVE her and would recommend her over and over again!

Hi there! I’m Madeline , a documentary and cinematic photographer based in Long Island, New York and New England. I’m passionate about capturing honest, heartfelt imagery that tells your story. Your memories are precious, and they deserve to be preserved in a way that’s as unique as you are. Click the link below to inquire about booking!

There aren’t enough kind things to say about Maddie!!! She was incredibly helpful and thorough on the wedding day and did such a good job capturing my husband and I’s personalities. We talked a bunch leading up to the day and I shared with her some of my “visions” for the pictures (lol) but mainly I just told her that I wanted her to capture the day as it was and let the pics speak for themselves, which they DID!! She also came in hand with not only a digital camera but a polaroid and a film cam as well. I couldn’t believe how stunning the pictures were. I highly highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a photographer. She’s such a fantastic person and I’m so grateful to know her!!!

Leanne Gelish Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Valley Stream, NY

Welcome to Leanne Gelish Studio! I am a wedding photographer on Long Island, New York who specializes in capturing real moments in an artistic way. A born story-teller, I believe your wedding day should be captured like a story. After all, it’s the love story you always wanted and it’s worth remembering the little details.

My husband and I had a fairytale courtship. We started dating in February of 2019 and were engaged by June. We both felt a lot of stress and pressure from both sides of our family as soon as we announced our engagement. We decided that we wanted our wedding day to be just about us, and we would do a reception later on that would include our family and friends. We were engaged on Sunday June 9th and by Monday I was scouting the internet for photographers. I’m not from Long Island, so I’m not familiar with vendors here. However, being the daughter of two photographers, I knew that the most important part of my wedding (besides the bride & groom) was the pictures. I reached out to so many photographers and no one was the right fit. We were under a time crunch, so some weren’t available on short notice. I wanted my pictures taken with a Nikon camera, not all vendors are loyal to that brand. Then I found Leanne. Not only were her pictures GORGEOUS, she took pictures with a Nikon, and she was available! Under her excellent guidance, I reached out to the local town hall and secured our wedding date 7/12/19. Leanne was up for the challenge of taking pictures of a couple she had never met at a wedding in just over a month. Over the course of that month she made us feel so comfortable. She had so many beautiful and creative portraits planned, and also listened to all of the images I wanted. We asked her to be our witness at the wedding ceremony. It just felt right. The day of the wedding was beyond anything I had ever imagined. Leanne (having never met me) jumped right into action when I was in the middle of a wardrobe malfunction. She then expertly guided us through portraits before, during, and after the ceremony. She gave us the space to enjoy our day and captured our love in such a stunning way. We went to a lovely park after the ceremony for more portraits. We took breaks here and there and unbeknownst to us, she captured those candid, intimate moments that we shared. Those pictures are some of my favorites. My husband isn’t as comfortable in front of the camera as I am, but Leanne was so wonderful in helping him pose and stand in ways that didn’t feel super awkward to him. She even got him up in a tree! We both have that picture as our background on our phones. I really feel like Leanne went above and beyond what I had envisioned. She gave me all of the images I requested, and also made them her own using smoke bombs and prisms and really unique poses. Two and a half years later, Leanne is the only person we trust with taking our pictures. She has also become a close friend of ours. She is the most talented photographer, and we are so lucky that she was the one to capture our special day!

We capture genuine moments; the beautiful, emotional and funny. We are respectful of your day and the experience your guests are having. It is exciting for us to be a part of the fun.

Rob Martin Studio is fabulous. Rob and his team are extremely professional and the work that they deliver is just stunning.

George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

I can’t speak this companies praises enough. From the beginning of booking, the communication was incredible. We requested Agnes for our wedding photographer and were delighted to get her. Both our photographer and DJ were booked through them. They walked you through planning call stages prior to our wedding. Both our photographer Agnes and our DJ Mark Allan called us directly to confirm details, and go over timelines and our direct requests. We were impressed with Agnes from start to finish of our day. She communicated well, gave amazing direction, and did her very best with our rowdy group full of kids and ensured that we could get pictures that will last a lifetime. She kept us comfortable, calm, at ease and still managed to make the experience incredible regardless of the rain. DJ Mark Allan was everything we were hoping for. Organized, timely, and fun. He was very helpful with helping us get messages out to the guests, playing the brides most requested songs, and keeping the guests and vibe fun and exciting. He was amazing and loved having him as our wedding DJ.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Christopher and his team was the absolute best! From the beginning they were so thoughtful and informative every step of the way. Christopher eased our jitters by recommending a fun pre-wedding photoshoot before our rehearsal dinner which we would've never thought to do but absolutely loved. His calming presence throughout the wedding day made it so easy for us to relax in the moment, this sense of calm and joy was perfectly captured in our photos. Following our wedding, we worked with his design team on our wedding album. They too made this part of the process seamless, we were able to make decisions swiftly and with ease because of their expertise and support. We couldn't be happier with the overall experience or results!

Bailey Quinlan (she/they) is a photographic artist based in Brooklyn, NY working in both film & digital. With a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art & an unshakable entrepreneurial spirit, she started her own business photographing weddings professionally in 2016, and has documented 100’s of celebrations since. Her fine art background informs her creative & personal approach to photographing weddings. She brings fresh eyes & ears to every couple she meets, focusing on what truly matters to them, to ensure her clients’ priorities & personalities shine through in their photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Bailey enough! From the moment we booked her, she was communicative, patient, and genuinely excited about our wedding. Her warmth and professionalism made us confident we'd made the right choice. One of the best decisions we made was also having Bailey cover our welcome party the night before the wedding. She captured the relaxed, joyful energy of our friends and family gathering for cocktails and an open mic on the deck at our venue. By the time our wedding day arrived, Bailey already felt like part of the group: a trusted friend rather than just a vendor. This made such a difference, especially since we're both pretty camera-shy and were nervous about feeling awkward or stiff in front of the camera. Bailey completely put us at ease. She has a gift for making you forget you're even being photographed. Her approach is so calm and unobtrusive that we could just be ourselves and enjoy our day. Bailey was incredibly patient with our large family during portraits, managing group shots with grace and efficiency while keeping everyone relaxed and happy. She has a real talent for making the photo-taking process feel natural and easy. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning. The ceremony shots in particular—the sunlight is captured exactly as I remember experiencing it in the moment, which is such a gift. Every image feels warm, authentic, and true to the vibe we wanted: natural, fun, and full of life. Bailey didn't just document our wedding, she captured the feeling of it. Now that our wedding is over, we can say with complete certainty that the photos were worth every penny of the investment. We love reliving the day through her work, and we know these images will be treasured for years to come. If you want a photographer who will blend seamlessly into your celebration, put your families at ease, and deliver beautiful, candid photos that feel like you, book Bailey immediately.
