Hi there! I am Ioana, a wedding and family photographer. I recently moved my business from Transylvania, Romania, to New York. Your photography experience will feel effortless and personal. My role is to create a relaxed atmosphere, where you can be fully present in your moments: the quiet glances and the happy chaos of your day. I gently guide you when needed, but always leave space for authenticity to unfold naturally.

A dream has recently come true, that of joining my destiny with my partner from now until old age. We are extremely grateful that we had Ioana with us, who honored us with her glamorous, sweet, cinematic style. Every time we go through the photos, we feel as if we are watching the most successful film of 2023, a masterpiece. There were moments that my husband and I forgot to prepare, being caught in the moment and the stress of the event tho Ioana gave us the wonderful surprise of capturing incredible and intimate pieces of memories . Her work manages to impress us everytime we watch our photos and make us feel loved and beautiful. Therefore, I recommend Mrs. Ioana Stavar with all my trust and love. I am sure that she will take care of you, with as much passion as she has for photography!

I have a passion for capturing core memories & I’m truly a sucker for nostalgia.

Giving you space and time to enjoy your loved ones, and making your wedding photos feel effortless.

It was an absolute treat to work alongside Marybeth during our most recent collaboration. Her beautiful photography is just the tip of the iceberg. Marybeth is professional, imaginative, true to her word, and passionate about her work. Our photoshoot took place on a rather dreary, cloudy, summer day. Yet, Marybeth was able to transform the ambiance into a magical, thrilling, and romantic scene with her photography. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for photos to treasure for years to come.

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison was incredible throughout this whole process. She was communicative, quick and concise in communication/planning and her work speaks for itself. I fell in love with Madisons document style photography during our engagement photos and somehow the wedding photos are even better. I cannot say enough good things about her work!! Obsessed

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

I cannot say enough great things about Nick and Brian. We got married on 11/21/2025 and they were AMAZING! Super quick and they did such a great job. I’m completely obsessed with all our photos.

Welcome + thank you for stopping by! I am so glad you're here! I'm Maria Love Mattera- my middle name is not Love- however I wish it was .. haha. I truly LOVE capturing love + beautiful moments in time- the funny, emotional, happy, candid and everything in between. Mom to 2 of the most loving + beautiful girls I have ever met. Wifey to the love of my life. When I am not documenting a love, I am wrapped up in my own love story, making memories w my loved ones. My favorite things in life in no particular order are butterflies, new age spirituality, romantic movies, yoga, star gazing, chocolate, the beach and laughing.

Maria was by far the best value of all our vendors! So easy to work with and she really cares about helping you get what you want for your wedding day! She helped up map out the whole day ahead of time, and she and her partner even came to our separate homes in the morning while we all got ready! They spent the whole day and night with us and really went above and beyond my expectations. Not to mention her work is absolutely beautiful!! We recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married and we even had her come do our newborn photos when our son was born! I worked in the wedding industry for 10 years so I’ve seen tons of photographers- trust me... go with Maria! You won’t be disappointed!!

I've been wedding photographer for over 15 years now and love every minute of it. From the first detail shots to the last dance! I'm very hands on in assisting my couples plan their event so their day runs seamlessly and stress free. I'm always just a text or an email away(Unless I'm on an event of course!) I take a very moment based approach to my photography to make it feel as natural as possible.

this guy wow from the minute I booked him I knew this was the right decision I called a million photographers and everyone was crazy expensive and some felt like they were just not the right fit. Mike had a great attitude and made me feel so comfortable that I booked him right away. He gave us a winter discount and the price of the wedding photo came with engagement session. The shoot was amazing we used it as a family shoot since we had our son already and he was so good with him had him smiling the whole time. In less than two weeks, I got all my pictures back, not a preview all 1363 of them!! He captured the day so beautifully!! Him and Hunter (the 2nd photographer) did a freaking phenomenal job! I can’t wait to use Mike for all my future shoots. I think the pics speak for themselves with what an amazing job he did!!

Nas Zakir Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wading River, NY

Hi! My name is Nas :) I fell in love with photography at just 10 years old, when I picked up one of my dad's cameras and instantly connected with the art of capturing life. That same passion today drives my work as a documentary-style photographer. I focus on the raw, candid, and fleeting moments. The ones that may go unnoticed, but can mean the most.

I found Nas on Reddit and I’m so glad I did! She is just getting her start in her career but that was hard to tell from the beautiful, movie-like photos she delivered that captured my finances and my love doing something we love together, walking our dog around our neighborhood in Brooklyn. Nas’ style is very candid with fewer posing prompts; she takes creative shots while also making sure to get all the backgrounds we wanted. It was her first time shooting a dog and she did an amazing job capturing his quirkiness and bouncy walk. She was right on time with the shoot and delivering photos and was responsive via email and text.

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. I’ve known for years I wanted him as my photographer and was so happy he was available on my wedding day. Easy to work with, flexible and extremely helpful. Pictures are stunning. I’m so grateful he was my photographer.

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

Elise goes above and beyond for her clients providing exceptional service in addition to the stunning photos she takes of your special day. From regular check-ins, her words of encouragement, to her “roll up your sleeves” attitude to help you through moments of uncertainty and crisis, she is more than a photographer - she is your teammate and someone who you can rely on. We were so lucky to have her by our side. Thank you, Elise. We literally could not have done it without you. Of course, I highly recommend her services without any reservation.

Gelfman Photography

  • Serves Wading River, NY

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

Matt and Lesley from Gelfman Photography are absolutely amazing. They have amazing communication, answering emails and messages very quickly. They are hardworking, honest, and produce beautiful photographs. When our wedding timeline got pushed back, they adjusted the schedule to make sure I got all of my important shots. Their prices are extremely fair, and they have made my whole wedding run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gelfman Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.

We loved our photographer, Keith. As a one person photographer, he managed to get a lot of shots quickly. He was communicative throughout the night and one thing I loved is that he told the bridal party how to stand to avoid those awkward moments of people not knowing how to pose.

I’ve always been a sun chaser, edit all nighter, “Look at the sky” type of person! Photoshoots can seem scary. I can assure you’ll feel comfortable with me being your photographer once I fill you in on a few things about me. Yes, I’m a dog person, my dog is my soul sister. Forget high heels, I’d rather be barefoot. Cozy wine nights over clubbing. Forever not a morning person. Bubble baths and Netflix. Tacos for dinner..again. Sweatpants all winter. Full of dad jokes. Sundays are for Shameless. I’m on the creative right side of the brain, laughing at everything gal!

Monica, I ADORE YOU!!! I have totally made a forever friend in Monica. My husband really loved all of our vendors, but he keeps asking about Monica even now. LOL!! (He knows we talk on insta) She is just awesome. She really tailored to our requests of candid photos rather than removing us from our wedding for photos. She was everywhere throughout the night and truly captured it all. She is such a joy to be around, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. I feel like she was a guest having fun! And I hope she was! Can not wait to use Monica for all of my future photoshoots.

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!
