Portraits By Sean

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Melville, 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

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

My name is Marybeth, and I am owner of Rajotte Photography. I live to capture art that illustrates life's most precious moments. As a kid my favourite "toy" was a disposable camera - that sparked the passion. Creating something stunning to share with you, fuels it. Today, Rajotte Photography offers a team of incredible associate photographers, giving us the ability to serve more amazing couples! I cannot wait to see what we can create together.

I got married during covid, which means I had a whole wedding planned prior to the world ending, and then had to replan a whole different wedding in 30 days. Marybeth was the photographer we booked for the wedding day that actually happened. She took the dreamiest photos of a day I could never have imagined. She caught moments that I’ll treasure forever and made a really stressful time that much easier with her professionalism, great communication, patience, and eagerness to capture our wedding day. I can’t sing her praises enough. Your memories are safe in her hands!

Such a professional, attentive photographer/ Videographer. He went above and beyond the call, making sure to keep everyone calm during the struggle of the day! He has a creative eye, suggestion poses and shots that came out amazing. When contacted he gets back to you in a timely fashion and did everything my fiancé and I asked for. I highly, highly recommend him for your wedding. I used him because a friend of mine used him for her wedding the year before and recommended him. After seeing some of his shots, I agreed and I’m glad I did. 5 stars.

Madison Fender 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Melville, NY

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 is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!

Park Ave Studio

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Melville, 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.

We had the pleasure of working with Park Ave Studio for our wedding photography. Their communication throughout the entire process was awesome, amazing and fantastic - they were extremely responsive over email and phone and made us feel at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work and value offered was amazing, caring, kind and fantastic. They captured our special day beautifully through their photos, which we will treasure for years to come. Some examples that stood out: they scouted our venues ahead of time to find the best spots for photos, they worked seamlessly with our other vendors, and they made sure to get all the shots we requested. Overall Park Ave Studio went over and beyond to work with us for our wedding and we would highly recommend them to other couples!

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.

I highly recommend Claudia to be your photographer! She is professional, she knows what she is doing! I love that about her, she will take you through everything with ease. I honestly felt so comfortable during my wedding day, she played music and went straight for it! She will direct you and makes the environment feel so relaxed and you will have fun with her.

Michael Cassara Photography

  • Serves Melville, NY

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

  • Serves Melville, 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.

We were looking for photographers around our venue that fit our budget when we came across Matt and Lesley After we spoke with them, we really enjoyed our conversation with them and knew we would be in good hands. They were super easy to work with from Day 1, making sure to provide updates on everything. Our engagement session was a lot of fun and really cemented that we made the right choice for our wedding several months later. On the day of, they were awesome. Even with last minute changes to our shot list when our guests were running late, they captured some really wonderful moments from our special day. We have been so excited showing the previews Matt & Lesley sent to us with our friends and family, and we are really looking forward to seeing the whole set!

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!
