I had the most incredible experience with Kyra from CityLux Studios. I’m not originally from New England and she helped me narrow down the best areas for pictures in Boston. She was so fun to work with and truly made this experience so wonderful. My fiancé hates getting pictures done and he even said he had such a great time. I am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos. Attached are some of my favorite photos from our shoot. I would recommend CityLux to everyone for any occasions.

A small studio in Union NJ with big plans! I have been a photographer for 6 years working as a freelancer.

I'm starting my own business for my baby, Xavier. Working at your wedding helps me be with my family longer.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was awesome working with Eugene!! The results were exactly not what we intended or planned, they were actually MUCH BETTER. My husband and I had a set place, but due to unforeseen events, we had to sort of improvise And change our photography setting, but thankfully Eugene has an eye for these things, and found much more beautiful spot! My husband and I love the fact that Eugene was not rigid, but he was very flexible with us which help us be more comfortable with him. If you were doubting, that’s fine, but not with Eugene Krasnaok. Your time and money is safe with him.

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

I couldn't be more grateful that Rebecca & Andrew shot our special day. Not only are they wildly talented (see some photos below), but they also eased our wedding nerves with their incredibly friendly demeanor. They took time to get to know us, and helped us look good and natural during our photoshoot (not something I thought I was going to be very good at, but they proved me wrong). We loved working with Andrew & Rebecca so much so that we've actually worked with them a few more times after our wedding. They are the best, and if you choose them to photograph your big day you will not be disappointed.

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
We got very lucky finding Mary as our photographer. She was our photographer for our engagement party, engagement photos, and the wedding day. She always made time to talk and keep an open line of communication! She was great at making us feel comfortable and giving directions (which we definitely needed). Mary is also extremely thoughtful and I really appreciate the little things she had done to make everything as perfect as possible!

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

We scheduled a Summer Couple Session with Millie this past June and couldn't have had a better experience! She worked with us to align on our vision for the shoot and plan an itinerary for our shoot. Millie is clear with her communication and made sure to make the most of our time together. With this being our first couple photoshoot, it was especially comforting to have her by our side to make us feel at ease and guide us through each pose. Her experience and talent truly shined through as she shared our photos. Millie's ability to set the stage up for natural moments allowed us to have a beautiful and genuine memory to look back on.

My wedding day was perfect thanks to PSPi. He was professional, funny and extremely kind and creative. He knew all the perfect shots to capture. My wedding day was so hot and he dealt with me being cranky and sweaty and didn’t complain about the heat once. He also gave us over 3k photos to look through which was seriously amazing and it took us forever (in a good way) to go through all of the insanely beautiful shots from our special day. My guests were also talking about how great he was and love the photos so much. 10/10 would recommend!!!!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
Booking Tati & Roman was hands down the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We were looking for someone with more of an editorial style with a focus on genuine candid photos, and they absolutely delivered!!! Tati & Roman took the time to get to know us and what the vibe of our wedding would be like, and it translated SO well in their photos. When we told them we were leaning into a movie theme and wanted to do our engagement photos in a movie theater, they really took the idea and brought it to life in ways we hadn’t even imagined. People are STILL talking about how cool our engagement photos were. And now we all can’t stop gushing over our wedding photos!! They captured everything so beautifully - all of the love and absolute joy of the day just shines through each photo. They took so many gorgeous photos of our loved ones too - the best photos we've ever seen of many of them! Trying to pick only a few of our photos for this post feels IMPOSSIBLE. And even the album titles they sorted the photos into matched our theme (trailer, prologue, guest stars, etc) and we love the thoughtfulness!! We really leaned into a lot of silliness throughout the day, and Tati was always game and so excited to help us pull it off. We are SOOOO lucky to have had a photographer who was just as excited about the day as we all were - and a friend who fit right in with our loved ones :) If you’re considering booking Tati & Roman, do yourself a favor and DO IT!!!!!!

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Shelby. To put into perspective how much I absolutely love her work, we not only hired her for our city hall wedding, but also hired her and her partner Jordan (videographer) for our big wedding. They also just photographed my cousin Kate’s wedding this past weekend. Kate met Shelby and Jordan at my big wedding, and absolutely fell in love with not only their work, but them as people. My partner and I aren’t good at taking photos. We are very awkward, and feel uncomfortable being the center of attention. But Shelby made it SO EASY and SO FUN for us. Not only were our photos beyond our expectations, the video Jordan created for us was absolutely out of this world. They are such incredible human beings, and both so talented. I plan to use Shelby and Jordan for every event in the future.

Hey there! My name is Emilee, and I am a Minnesota-native living in NYC! I've been photographing people and events for 15 years. I shoot families, couples, individuals, and pets, but my passion lies in wedding photography. I love capturing the whirlwind of a couples' big day, and seeing the love that is shared between them and all their wedding guests. It's magical and wonderful every. single. time.

Awarded Best of Zola
What a dream Emilee was to work with, from start to finish. OUR CEREMONY PARTY: we decided on a private, courthouse elopement on a Wednesday, a 60 person reception party on a Friday. In both, our biggest priority was having a photographer capture the intimate, joyful small details. We went with Emilee because of her eye for the beauty in the small things. She captured both our days perfectly. DOCUMENTARY STYLE: Emilee was perfect behind the scenes, capturing beautiful moments of our friends and family, small details of the courthouse with just us. I look back at some of these photos and ask "how did she even get that?!" She has such an eye. POSED: We had about 20 minutes dedicated to posed, family photos during our reception. Emilee had our families relaxed and laughing, quickly swapping members in and out. In some newlywed photos, we sought her advice for how to pose. She gave quick direction, made us feel confident, and always found the perfect light. COMMUNICATION SPEED: Delivered on every promise, quick replies. Emilee was 15 minutes early to both locations, we never had to worry. PERSONALLY: We met with Emilee about 4 months before our big days. We had coffee, talked about our vision and our biggest priorities. She immediately felt like a friend, and knew she was firmly on our team. If you're looking for a photographer to capture not only beautiful photos of yourself, but more importantly, the feeling in every room, Emilee is the photographer for you. We recommend wholeheartedly, and can't wait for another occasion to work with her. Sincerely, Mara James

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Kim-Trang Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the start, Kim’s communication style was ahead of the game - she was warm, friendly, and we were excited to have her on our team. Kim is talented and committed and truly captured the joy and intimacy of our special day. She connected with us and our family in a way that felt more like having a friend there than just a vendor. One of our favorite touches was the sweet Polaroids she left with our wedding cards - the perfect surprise when we were feeling a bit of the post-wedding blues. We couldn't be happier with the sneak peeks we've seen so far and can't wait to see the full gallery. Kim-Trang Photography went above and beyond to make our wedding day truly unforgettable.

I'm in love with human emotions, either it's laughing till it hurts or tears of happiness. When your man hugs you so strong, that you can't breathe or when your dad is crying (for the first time in his life!) listening to your vows at the altar. I do believe, that these un-staged moments are more meaningful than classy portraits on a sunset (but no worries, you'll plenty of both!) If you feel like we are on the same page - let's talk! Write me a few words about who you are, tell me your story and let's create something beautiful together!

If you are reading this, go book Dasha! The wedding photographer was the most important vendor for us. After talking to many photographers, we ended up booking Dasha and that's the best decision we've ever made. Through our engagement session, we got so comfortable in front of her camera and the photos turned out great. Ahead of the wedding, I had a final meeting with Dasha and you could tell that she cares about her couples and gives good advice on the timeline. On the wedding day, her professionalism and creativity made the day so easy for us, and we didn't need to give her a long shortlist because we trusted her. When we received the full gallery, we were so BLOWN AWAY. The editing style speaks for itself. We also loved the way she documented our special - it feels very natural and authentic. Many of our families and friends asked us who our photographer was, and we cannot recommend Dasha enough. Thank you, Dasha!!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Emma and her team are FANTASTIC! My photographer was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and upon our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit. I went with Massimo as the lead photographer who also did our engagement shoot. It was so nice to meet with him and see his work before the wedding. Leading up to the big day they would check in to make sure all details were finalized. My wedding was very unique in that I had an Indian wedding and traditional wedding all in one day with multiple outfit changes. We had a lot to cover and Emma's team was more than up for the challenge. We had 2 photographers including Massimo and a videographer. They were extremely organized and creative to capture shots I would have never thought of on my own. When the previews came in I was in shock of how beautiful they were and now that I have all of the photos and videos I get to relive the day all over again with friends and family. I could not recommend Emma and her team enough for weddings and other big life moments!

Jenny Flora Photography 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Fine art style

Before I ever held a camera, as a kid I was obsessed with organizing and reorganizing printed family snapshots in albums. This infatuation with captured moments, led to picking out my first film camera, a 35mm Pentax, film developing and darkroom printing in high school, and then my BFA in Photography Degree. From there, I worked in varied sectors of photography, but my true passion lay in documentary work that could bring about awareness of challenging global situations. I have published and exhibited journalistic series internationally, notably at Oxford University and Aperture Foundation.

Jenny is an absolute gem! We are so happy we found her to photograph our modern beach wedding at The Wave in Long Branch, NJ. Jenny has an amazing eye and took advantage of all the beautiful aspects of the venue allowing for a great variety of photos. And a good mix of candid and posed shots. It was so apparent that takes such pride in her work and loves the art, making us feel so comfortable and calm the entire time. Both my husband and I are camera shy but Jenny gave us clear direction and took into consideration everything we were and weren’t looking for. Jenny and Camilla were also extremely flexible and supportive the entire day. We can’t thank them enough for their enthusiasm and dedication. It’s so apparent in their work. Thank you, Chris & Danielle

I looked at a LOT of wedding photographers. There are a lot of people out there who do beautiful photos, but none really felt like a fit for us, either the photo style was not right, or the price was too steep for the amount of hours we wanted to have the photographer available. Then we found Photo Studio 308 the perfect match. The first thing I noticed about Photo Studio 308 portfolio is that people were smiling and laughing. You’d be surprised how few photographers feature photos that look joyful! The second thing I noticed is that photos weren’t all the same; different couples had different looks and styles. I highly recommend.

Weddings by Hanel (pronounced like Chanel without a c) is a wedding photo & video studio creatively blending artistic photojournalism with beautiful portraiture. Our philosophy for photographing weddings is based on the belief that the most important part of our job is telling your story as beautifully as the story itself. Everything else is secondary.

Our destination weddings have taken them to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked Hanel for both our engagement shoot and wedding. We cannot say anymore great things about him. His email responses were timely, thorough and it was incredibly easy to set up time to meet with him to discuss his and our visions. My husband and I are not camera people in the slightest, and often make silly faces in order to balance our awkwardness. However, Hanel and his assistant made us feel at ease during both shoots, and gave easy directions for us to follow throughout that ultimately made us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. They were so welcoming/friendly, and we felt like we were just hanging out with our friends for the day. Hanel was able to handle the chaos that were my family and friends on the wedding day, and easily navigated all the different groupings for photos the day of with immense ease. He kept to our wedding timeline without making us feel rushed. Our photos were sent back to us quickly after a month, and they were absolutely gorgeous. I had never felt so beautiful in my life (neither has my husband) and Hanel was able to capture those feelings forever for us. Thank you again for everything Hanel.

A photographer with 10 years of experience specializing in love stories, portraiture, and immortalizing a moment filled to the brim with feeling. I’m French, which means I have aways been attracted to beauty, art, and romance & love to have a good time; my photography embodies this. When I am not behind the camera I enjoy eating good food and drinking wine (again, I’m French), going on roadtrips with my wonderful boyfriend, Max, and cuddling up with a good book - my favorite is The Pillars of the Earth - and my cutie pie cat, Jack.

Coco did wedding photos for us while I was pregnant and they turned out incredible. Way better than I could have imagined. She is so sweet and easy to work with - not to mention makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I will be using her for all future family shoots.

From booking to planning to the wedding weekend itself, Mei was communicative, gentle, and intentional. She wasn't just there to capture the weekend, she improved it in every way.

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital.

My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
Being a producer, photographer, and a photographer's agent, finding the perfect photographer for our wedding was actually quite a hard decision to make! Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session. Judson captured the essence of our celebration, made us and our friends and family look super cute, and documented all the beautiful moments that happened throughout the night. We were truly blessed by her talent and we are so happy to have such wonderful visual documentation of our special day.

I photograph love because I believe in it. I don’t believe in it in the way that a little girl believes in ferries or unicorns, a hopeful “I think it is real” kind of a belief, I believe in its power. I believe that love is the most important emotion we will feel in this lifetime and I believe it has the greatest ability for good. I believe that each human on this earth should have the opportunity to feel deeply loved and to love another deeply themselves. I believe that love is something that should be treasured, cared for, and celebrated.
