Portraits By Sean

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Brightwaters, NY



I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Portraits By Sean was an exceptional choice for our wedding photography. They had great communication from start to finish, which made the planning process smooth and stress-free. They were extremely helpful in getting all the photos we wanted and more - Sean was very thorough, very prompt and very patient in capturing every moment. He arrived early and was extremely patient in making sure we got everything done that we wanted. We couldn't be happier with the quality of their work and the value they provided on our special day.

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.

Working with Madison was an absolute dream. She made me feel comfortable, relaxed, and made sure we were all having fun! She captured the most beautiful moments from our special day . She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough. The images we have from the wedding, I will treasure forever. Also, she got out a batch of images so quickly after the big day which was just so fun to see.

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!!

Park Ave Studio

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Brightwaters, NY

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.

Park Ave Studio was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was open, friendly, and even a bit funny, which put us at ease right away. On the day of our wedding, they captured all the best moments - from the excitement of getting ready, to the emotional ceremony, to the fun and lively reception. Their attention to detail and ability to seamlessly blend into the background allowed them to capture so many genuine, candid shots that truly reflect the love and joy of our special day. We are thrilled to get the final photos and would highly recommend Park Ave Studio to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

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 was our wedding photographer. Is she the best? She’s the best in more ways than one can ask for in a photographer. 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.

You want to capture the heartfelt, milestone moments – but also the head-thrown-back laughter and the ease of your connection. You want photos that look like art but feel exactly like you. You’re in the right place. I’ll never stop being sentimental about the simple beauty of people living, celebrating, and loving. I’m endlessly inspired by the way life unfolds when people are just being themselves.

Claudia is FANTASTIC. Her photos are beautiful and natural. No stiff, awkward wedding photos that you feel like you see all the time. She is a true artist and awesome to work with. She made this somewhat camera-shy couple feel at ease, and we are so proud of the pictures we got for our perfect day. We heartily recommend her services, you won't regret it for one second!

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.

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.

The Gelfmans are AWESOME!! I chose them because they did my sister in laws wedding and the pictures were phenomenal. They’re so chill and they make you feel so comfortable. My wedding photos are exactly what I wanted!

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!

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.

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.

We started out as a team of street photographers roaming NYC on a daily/nightly basis with a goal of making a name for ourselves. Christopher George photography was created due to the fact that during lockdown, people still requested photographers for small, social distanced, backyard weddings and we filled that niche. Having done a few of these weddings, we decided this was the route that we wanted to take our photography journey. Today, we are in our first full year of wedding photography and have secured a small amount for the year but are anxious to create more memories for happy couples. We capture FOREVER moments...
