About Marilyn Lamanna Photography
Marilyn Lamanna Photography
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.
I want to photograph as a witness, not an orchestrator — I believe your day shouldn’t feel like a staged shoot. For me, documenting means that if I’m not capturing group photos, I am blending into the background and capturing moments as they happen, in the most candid way possible. Group photos are timeless keepsakes, but most posed photos can be consolidated into about 30 minutes-1 hour of your day, leaving the rest of the time for you to act natural. So if you’re looking to forgo the strict shot list and long list of posed portraits, let’s work together!

Dream Wedding Photographer!
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!
Response from vendor•Jun 24, 2025Claire and Eliza, where do I begin? I am SO blessed to have worked with y'all, so happy to have been a part of your celebration, and so blessed for all of your kindhearted feedback!! It means so much that you adore the photos AND the experience, and I can't wait until we can connect again.Perfect experience
Marilyn is such a warm and welcoming person. She was so approachable and encouraging throughout the entire process. During our home photo shoot and on our wedding day, she stuck the perfect balance of directing us to look our best while allowing us to be ourselves. We really appreciated that she took our preferences to heart and focused on all the things we care about. Marilyn is such a talented artist and we love her style-- all of our photos are beautiful and feel very authentic to us and our wedding day.
Response from vendor•Apr 14, 2025Thank you so so much for all your kind words, Anna! It was such a joy working with you both!!Wedding photographer of our dreams!!
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!
Response from vendor•Jan 30, 2025I always have the best time with you guys, and am so grateful for your sweet words!! This means the world!The best money we spent!
From the first email, Marilyn was warm and welcoming! And that spirit stayed with us through planning, zooms, and the whole day of the wedding. Of course, her work speaks for itself, and i think you can feel the love and emotions she captures through her lens. She captured so many special joys and moments, I feel like I am reliving our wedding day over and over! I think Marilyn's pricing is fair and well worth the money spent. We went with the additional film option and the film shots are absolutely my favorite! Thank you so much, Marilyn!
Response from vendor•Jan 3, 2025This made my day, I am SO touched I could be a part of your day and celebrate with you guys! It was such a joy!
