Luis Zepeda Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Woodhaven, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style

I've spent over eight years perfecting my talent by capturing luxury weddings throughout the world, editorial-driven corporate events, food and wine festivals, and private celebrations. My passion has propelled me to excel at capturing raw and candid emotion on your special day. When I'm not capturing special events, you can find me enjoying delectable meals & cocktails or at sports/live music events with friends & family.

Luis is a talented and wonderful photographer. I've had the opportunity to work with him on several projects and he knocks it out of the park every time. He is a genuine person that is invested in his clients, couples and photography projects. He takes the time to learn and connect with his couples and clients prior to the event which is so important when capturing moments that tell a story for a couple. By doing this he truly exceeds client's expectations and delivers the most incredible galleries and memories. He is meticulous, communicates well and quickly and has the best personality. Everyone is so comfortable and at ease around him and that is so welcomed, especially on one of the most important days in your life!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Serves Woodhaven, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
We have worked with Marilyn for mini sessions, engagement photos, and our wedding. Each time, Marilyn never ceases to amaze us with her ability to capture timeless photos that feel like us. Over the past few years, during the mini sessions and engagement shoot we did with Marilyn, she made us so comfortable in front of her camera. When it came to taking our portraits at our wedding, it felt like second nature - something that wouldn’t have happened with just any photographer. On our wedding day, the group photos flowed seamlessly, and it felt like they took no time at all. Marilyn captured our wedding day so beautifully, we truly can’t stop looking at the photos. She delivered a gallery that has the perfect blend of posed portraits and documentary style shots of the day. There is not a single photo in our wedding gallery that we dislike. Whether it’s for a casual couples shoot or your wedding, we highly recommend Marilyn - you will not regret it!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the absolute pleasure of having Kenny Fiesta as our DJ for our wedding in 2022, and he exceeded all of our expectations. Not only did he keep our dance floor packed all night, but his skills as an MC truly elevated the energy of the entire event. This weekend we attended another wedding where he worked his magic, and once again, he was off the charts! His incredible uplighting transformed the space into something spectacular, and he had everyone—young and old—on their feet, dancing nonstop. His ability to read the crowd and keep the vibe alive is unmatched. If you’re looking for someone who is professional, talented, and knows how to throw an unforgettable party, Kenny Fiesta is your guy. He’s not just a DJ—he’s the life of the party! Highly recommend!

If Chris is available on your big day, look no further and just book him. We were so unsure of where to turn as we are not religious so we didn't have a preacher but also didn't have any family or friends we could visualize to do our ceremony, which so many people do now (Hire the pro!). I'm so so glad we found him! Chris is great because he does a great non-religious ceremony, under 30 minutes (what we wanted), and is so engaging, funny and easy to work with. Our guests loved our ceremony so much and wondered how we knew him (spoiler alert: we didn't know each other before we booked him for our wedding) because he made our ceremony so personal and told our beautiful love story so masterfully. After speaking with Chris my now husband and I both immediately wanted to move forward with him. After booking we got a somewhat long questionnaire, parts were for both of us to fill out together and we each had other parts that we filled out individually telling our version of our love story in our own words which made for a quite fun ceremony. While the questionnaire was long it was necessary to have the personalized ceremony we both wanted. We were able to meet with him in person when he was in Cincinnati, he also works in NYC, for another wedding and he is such a joy to be around. Once he was done with our ceremony he sent us a draft and we made a few small adjustments but it was PERFECT. Chris also ran our rehearsal and he did amazing organizing everyone and making sure that people knew what they needed to do. The ceremony couldn't have been more perfect on our wedding day, he has great timing, he is funny, engaging and had about 75% of our guests crying by the end. The video of our ceremony gets me misty every time. Thank you again Chris!

When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
It is difficult not to write this review entirely in all glowing all caps because Thalia's artistry truly gave us a gift of a lifetime. Thalia is an absolutely lovely person and a PHENOMENAL photographer. We could not love our wedding (and engagement) photos more! My husband and I could tell from our first introductory meeting that Thalia's energy, enthusiasm, and professionalism were precisely what we were looking for, but boy oh boy, did her pictures exceed these expectations. We wanted both editorial and documentary style shots, and we received a perfect blend of both. Thalia knows how and when to provide styling guidance as well as when to hang back in order to snap up all the organic moments too. So grateful that the best day of our life was captured with such care. Thank you, Thalia!!

We had our wedding at SRS last weekend and it was incredible. The ceremony on the pier was unbelievably scenic. The space was perfect for our 165 person wedding. The staff, especially Una (hired as our planner) were helpful and accommodating to basically everything we asked for leading up to the wedding. We had such a special day and a lot of that had to do with how great our venue was! Highly recommend SRS.

Hi, I'm Kevin. I love capturing my images with natural light and my favorite time in the day for it would be sunrise and sunset. That's my motivation for my photography.

With an unwavering commitment to transforming dreams into exquisite realities, our distinguished team, led by industry visionary Lauren Luberger, boasts over two decades of collective expertise in orchestrating flawless celebrations.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had our wedding May 2025 and started planning with the City & Terrace team 9 months ahead of time. If you're looking for a planner that is extremely thorough, detail-oriented, flexible, and goes above & beyond to make sure your big day goes seamlessly, look no further than Lauren & her team. We had a wedding that was highly personalized, unconventional in many ways, and demanding in terms of timelines, details, and aesthetics. Here are some ways the City & Terrace team went above & beyond to make our vision come to life: - Provided us with multiple scenarios & projected costs to consider in how to run reception since we were unconventionally catering from an independent restaurant that doesn't have wedding catering expertise. - Sourced Chinese porcelain tea jars from an independent supplier in Brooklyn to accomplish our very niche aesthetic demands. - Pulled a lot of strings with other vendors to buy us extra time and opportunities to see and review our tablescape design. - Our wedding day schedule was very tight with multiple activities planned down to the minute. Lauren always gave honest feedback and made sure to accommodate our requests to the best of her abilities. The City & Terrace team also did a great job in managing all of the cultural elements (Chinese & Cambodian) of our wedding that were new to them. Highly recommend City & Terrace for your next big event!

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
Hiring Jessica and the Pine Events Co. team for design and planning was the best decision we made for our wedding! We got married at Brooklyn Steel in Williamsburg — a first for the venue — and from our very first meeting through the wedding day, Jessica completely understood our vision. She handled every twist and turn of vendor management with professionalism and a positive, can-do attitude. Every detail — from the timeline and floor plan to décor and vendor logistics — was executed flawlessly. Jessica and her team transformed a raw music venue into a stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony and reception space. She’s incredibly creative and resourceful, finding ways to bring our Pinterest vision board to life. For example, I had fallen in love with a floral tablecloth that was far outside our rental budget, and Jessica managed to source it herself — it became the centerpiece for our sweetheart table and the color inspiration for all our flowers and décor. The PEC team also designed beautiful displays for our merchandise stand (leaning into the concert theme) and our cards and gifts table, adding so many thoughtful touches throughout the day. Behind the scenes, Jessica and her team handled everything with such grace and professionalism that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the moment. Our family and friends couldn’t stop commenting on how seamless and magical everything felt! We can’t recommend Pine Events Co. enough — they made our dream wedding possible.

Shenyce is truly an amazing soul and a wonderful provider! I genuinely had the best experience with Shenyce for my wedding reception! It’s really hard to find a down-to-earth artist! From the start of her service till the very end, Shenyce went above and beyond for me. She arrived early and was prepared. She worked efficiently. I didn't feel as if I was being rushed or she was rushing to complete my work either. She was so gentle and mindful of my needs. As a Southeast Asian woman of color, I have psoriasis and am always hesitant about applying skin care and makeup. Shenyce addressed all my concerns prior to our meeting and throughout the whole encounter. Shenyce also did my hair beautifully and the extensions were applied so well, it didn’t weigh me down and was so easy to take off! Shenyce is gentle and throughout the process was kind enough to explain to me what she was doing and tips & tricks for myself going forward. She even provided the best little kit for touch-ups throughout the event. She was so kind to me and my guests! Throughout the evening I received endless compliments regarding my hair and makeup. My MOH and several immediate relatives told me that my makeup and hair looked insanely amazing! They acknowledged how my many sobbing moments didn’t mess up my makeup. Shenyce made me feel so special and respected throughout our time together! I can’t wait to have future events and have her glam me up.

We originally looked at more “industrial” venues because we wanted that intimate feel and didn’t love catering hall vibes. We found Renaissance as we live close by and loved it once we toured initially. They have the space of a catering hall but the experience of a single party venue. Food was great and we never felt like we were being uncharged/swindled. Even at one point we saw an error on the agreement and Lisa changed it no problem. She was a delight to work with and never made us feel like our ask was so unbelievable. Bridal suite was big enough for 10 people to get ready. Overall nothing but great things to say about Renaissance.

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

I was lucky enough to have Manai photograph our special day this past July. Most of the wedding was a whirlwind, so I am so grateful to have such beautiful photos of our day to look back on. Manai was great to work with and captured the day in such a beautiful way. Even better than my wedding Pinterest board could have imagined!! I am not used to taking photos so I was pretty nervous at first but he had me laughing and put me at ease in no time. Photography is such an important part of your wedding day, and you want to make sure you pick someone great. That person is Manai!! You won’t be disappointed! Manai is such a professional and talented photographer. All my photos look like they belong in a magazine. They all came out so well. I have the most beautiful photos of not only me and my husband, but our friends and family having a great time. Thank you so much for capturing the most important day of our lives. I even have a photo of me running to get margaritas post ceremony!! He didn’t miss a thing! If you are looking for the perfect person to capture your special day, this is your sign!! Just look at these stunning photos. He is the best!!!

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!
