Marilyn Lamanna Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t say better things about Marilyn if I tried. She was the first photographer who’s portfolio we fell for in our search, and while trying to budget and explore other options, we made our way back to Marilyn and questioned why we ever even bothered looking anywhere else. We did a round of engagement photos with her first, after an initial zoom to meet and get to know her. From the zoom alone we could tell right away what kind of sweet, wonderful, magical person she was. I felt like I was talking to an old friend immediately. During our engagement shoot, which myself and my now husband were SO nervous for (we are both awkward and camera shy, and I don’t know how to stop running my mouth during photos because of it) she made us laugh SO many times and immediately melted our anxieties away. We knew we made the perfect choice in a person to take care of us on our wedding day in that moment. We have so far received our previews, and we are simply in love. Marilyn captured intimate moments, fun moments, and beautiful, emotional moments that helped us feel like we were reliving our day all over again. She guided us through the day, took us to the best spots, got the photos we asked for, all without either of us having to think about a single thing or logistic at any point. She was on it. She is and was such a treat and added the kindest most comforting attitude and energy to our day, and all of our family and bridal party agree along with us (we got quite a few “where and how did you find her??”s). We also added a second shooter via Marilyn (who was also sincerely lovely) for just one hour, during our pre-ceremony and ceremony, for a little extra coverage and timeline speed, and a roll of film which was so much fun too. If you love artistic and stylized photos, and are seeking someone with both a great eye and wonderful, calming presence, I mean it, look no further. We are so happy we found Marilyn.

We originally found Thalia on TikTok and she captured the most magical engagement photos for us in NYC (we’re from Melbourne, Australia). She then made our absolutely dreams come true and agreed to come to Melbourne to shoot our wedding!!!!!!!! We had the most magical week with her and she made our friends and family feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and she captured the most incredible moments for us. Due to a mix up with our officiant on the day, we couldn’t actually get legally married - so we’ll be going to city hall in NYC next month and you BEST BELIEVE Thalia will be joining us for a THIRD time to capture our lil city hall marriage day! We’ve found not only a lifetime photographer, but a lifetime friend.

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Awarded Best of Zola
We absolutely love Kara! We used her for our engagement, city hall ceremony, and our wedding in Savannah, GA. She is absolutely wonderful. We were so anxious to do our engagement pictures, but she immediately made us feel comfortable and calm. We knew we had to have her for the rest of our wedding. She is so creative and endlessly talented. We are so lucky to have gotten to work with her throughout our engagement/wedding. She also is great at advocating for what YOU want for your day, she helped with the timeline, she answered any question we had, and she also literally stitched my dress up 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle - she can do it all haha. We have zero regrets in hiring her. She is the best.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was great to work with Michelle and her team. She was very professional, got along with all of the guests and the staff at the venue. She traveled to our hotel and to the venue with no complaints. Michelle and her team captured our wedding beautifully, from the getting ready photos, the ceremony and the reception! I love all the candids, the camera and picture quality are amazing. Everyone was able to tell that Michelle works very diligently and cares about the work she puts out. She sent the photos to us in a very timely manner and was communicative throughout the whole process. I love how at the time of booking, we had to schedule a consultation just for her to get to know us. It was camera’s on so we were all able to get a feel for who each of us would be working with. The exercise she had us do, when we needed to choose the pictures we love the best, of us during our relationship to assess if we would be a mutual fit, in terms of her working style was super cool because it showed us that she wants to make sure she meshes well with her clients. Overall, a wonderful experience & everyone should book!

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

Veil & Film were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From the start, their communication was professional and they were a pleasure to work with. The quality of their work was absolutely beautiful - they captured all the special moments of our day perfectly. They were very friendly and made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, ensuring we looked our best in every photo.

Sascha Reinking Photography LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

The day you get married to your best friend isn’t about the size of the venue or the number of guests. It’s not about the flavor of the cake or flower arrangements. It’s simply about two people madly in love with each other, the intimate connection they share, and the memories they create along the way. After the food has been eaten, the presents have been opened, and the dress is hanging in your closet, your wedding day will still be with you – in your memories and in the images captured that day.

Sascha was so wonderful to work with!! I was completely overwhelmed with the amount of options we had available to us. I ended up narrowing down by the type of style I saw within photographers portfolio's. Sascha seemed to capture couples in their natural-at-ease compatibility. I reached out to Sascha and throughout our entire communication he was prompt at responding. We booked 4 months in advance and I did have an idea of the type of photo I was looking for. Sascha welcomed my location suggestions and we mapped out a game plan. The day arrived and though we were nervous to be in front of a camera, Sascha made us feel at ease and helped us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Sascha was easy to banter with and was flexible with angles and shots. We left Sascha after the shoot feeling excited and anxious on how well our vision translated to photos. When we got the photos back we could not be more pleased!! They came out exactly how we wanted them to and I couldn't have been more grateful to have found someone as talented, gracious and kind as Sascha.

George Street Photo and Video has one story to tell: Yours. With over twenty years of experience, our award-winning team has been lucky to capture thousands of weddings for our couples across the United States. Specializing in both wedding photography and videography, we offer affordable and customizable packages starting at $1295 that are designed to suit your unique vision and budget. We even offer a fun style test to help us match you with a photographer that aligns with the vibe of your day.

George Street answered my wedding day prayers! As a NYC bride I instantly got sticker shock with the starting prices of NY based wedding photography (that didn’t even include videography). I searched high and low for something more affordable, however I wasn’t willing to sacrifice quality as wedding photography was a top priority for the big day. My dreams came true when I found George Street as they had reasonable prices and a wide variety of local talent. George Street let me view the portfolios of several photographers, they all had stunning photojournalistic style photos. We ultimately selected our photographer who ended up taking the most gorgeous and sentimental photos. Our album is stunning and George Street finished editing the photos so much faster than quoted. The videography team was also extremely professional and talented. We managed to get a social teaser, highlight reel, and full length feature video from George Street. We cherish all moments captured by George Street! Our entire team was easy to work with. Our wedding was on a military base which required some extra documentation and George Street came through with ease. We are extremely appreciative of George Street’s services and cannot recommend them highly enough especially to fellow NYC brides and grooms!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher was SO much fun to work with throughout the entire process. From the engagement photos, the rehearsal dinner to the wedding itself, Christopher was there finding the best shots.

If you're looking for the opposite of cheesy wedding photography, your search ends here. I was already quite certain I was going to book Bailey based on her portfolio alone, but the introductory video phone call sealed the deal. Bailey's warm and friendly personality really puts you at ease, and by the time our wedding day(s) (an elopement and later reception) arrived, it felt like we were having our pictures taken by a dear friend.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

Justin McCallum Photography

Hi! I’m Justin (he/him) and I’m here to affirm your love, make you feel like a fucking rockstar, and dance like a total fool. Oh, and take so many gorgeous photos of y’all. Obvs. My style blends both documentary photojournalism and fine art photography: coaching folks who are shy in front of the camera, then stepping back to capture authentic moments uninterrupted. I’ve been lucky enough to have my work published by A Practical Wedding, The New York Times, GLAMOUR, People Magazine and many other fabulous outlets. I'm a stereotypical Capricorn that loves drag shows, campy horror films, every dog I meet, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Awarded Best of Zola
Before we picked any other vendors, we knew we wanted to work with Justin. Choosing our photographer first was partially logistical and mostly because we loved him – he was the photographer at a wedding we were in previously, so we were lucky enough to get some first-hand experience with him and how he works! Justin makes everyone comfortable in front of the camera, regardless of experience. He’s so kind, affirming, fun, and funny that he makes it easy to feel like your best self in the photos. That wedding had a huge wedding party, and he did a great job at making the whole group look and feel fantastic, so we knew we would feel comfortable with him for our wedding. One of us is very camera-shy, so his kind and fun demeanor, while producing stunning photos, made him the only photographer we wanted to work with. Once we secured our wedding planner, the first thing we all did was compare dates with Justin because it was that important to us. We also hired Justin for our engagement photoshoot to use the photos for our Save-the-Dates – we can’t recommend that enough! It was the perfect way for us to practice getting photographed by him, and for him to get to know us as a couple in advance. He provided the most fun and thorough get-to-know-you questionnaires and calls prior to working with us that made us feel like he cared to deeply understand who he was photographing. He put so much time, thought, and dedication into our engagement shoot and wedding day – it made us feel so special, and every photograph we have feels perfect for us. On your wedding day, you’re around your photographer and their people ALL day, and they’re interacting with everyone else at the wedding. You want to hire a good person who can seamlessly integrate themselves into the day, get the shots you want, and still be having fun by the end of the day. Justin is absolutely that person, and everyone he works with matches those high standards as well. He advocates for you to make sure you get all the shots you want, plus so many you never knew you wanted but then can’t live without. We never felt steamrolled by any guests or family members because Justin kindly and strategically prioritized us and worked with our planner to keep us on schedule without us ever needing to keep track of the time. He made everyone comfortable in front of the camera through fun prompts and silly jokes and somehow maintained an enviably high energy level the entire day! Everyone at our wedding loved him and his second shooter, Carly, and only had great things to say about them. The end result of each day was stunning and we are obsessed. We attempted to “narrow down our favorites” and still ended up with hundreds of photos we absolutely love, from silly and loving candids, to directed moments that captured the feelings perfectly, and stunning posed shots that make us and our friends feel like models, Justin brought it all and we couldn’t be happier!

When I am not behind the camera or editing photos, I enjoy short Uber rides to bottomless brunch on the weekends; right now mimosas and I kinda have a thing going on! I have a special relationship with bourbon and FIRMLY believe in putting food on the grill during late afternoons should be the norm. I am blessed to be married to the happiest person on earth (I am so serious), who just happens to double as my favorite person. She keeps me grounded and never fails to remind me how great she is.

Beyond more than just the value and punctuality and just the professionalism I have ever received. I overall feel like I've known him beyond our time working together. Cesario checked in on us even beyond wedding stuff, checking on our mind set our spirit and relationship with me and my bride to be. Thank you so much for being part of our wedding day! We loved getting to work with you to bring our dream to life. We appreciate your help in creating unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime. I never knew how nervous I would be but Cesario made it seamless and effortless as he saw our vision and combine his own vision he saw for us and made it reality. He Spent the previous months staying in contact with me and my fiancé, insuring our photo ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner etc was too our liking. He took his time in details of each position and lighting, switching between cameras and accessories, also picking locations around the venue that represented our love, spirit and energy. Cesario was prompt on time and even ensured everything else besides his duty to us went well (family members looked great, coordinated with Coordinator, venue decor etc.) he was awesome. This was the best day I ever had and loved it because it was made with care and to our specs we wanted, this review doesn't give it its full justice on the quality of the the of the services he provided even the small details he went into helping our day. The special moment he had with me right after the ceremony were I could gather my emotions and he helped me gather myself and take it all in, that is something I can’t explain and I will always thank him for. I really saw how he cared and took his time in making sure it was perfect. We felt like we had a family member with us the entire day guiding us rather than a hired stranger witch made it feel natural and easy. The Photos came out UNBELIEVABLE, you see how he perfected each pictures, the lighting, how he captured moments we didn’t even know were happening. H captured the Cocktail hour photos, flowers, cake, bar and so much more. We are still looking through the photos and trying to figure out what to print out and frame, so many to choose from. Thank you again for your time and efforts and I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to hire Cesario Mendez!! Hurry book him now!!

Our small team of award-winning photographers and videographers celebrate the candid, authentic beauty of your day. Because when you look back on your album you should remember the fun, easy, imperfect, personal moments that make you, you -- not how long you had to pose.

We were so lucky to find through a friend Adam for our special day. We had a pandemic wedding with no more than 10 people. Adam blended in the party and was almost invisible! Or should I say that he became one of our beloved guests! His pictures captured the spontaneity of the moment. I truly wanted some pictures that felt organic, wholesome, and not artificially manufactured like you see in some weddings. Adam delivered all of this in a Texas heat of 110! We are forever thankfull, Vanessa and Cris

I believe that your images should look and feel exactly like you, as if you stepped out of your photographs into real life. My style is natural, vibrant and true to color and I enjoy providing a client experience that is unique, well-planned and most of all, fun! By the time your wedding arrives, my hope is you'll see me as a trusted friend helping you enjoy your day! A lifelong New Yorker, I love combining the creative with the technical and finding the beauty, art and magic in life as well as good food, dancing to 90s jams and my senior rescue cat, Ever.

We loved working with Emily. A friend recommended her for a last-minute, courthouse wedding elopement (health insurance is expensive, y'all!!). She took all our crazy ideas and sample pictures and ran with them and the pictures absolutely exceeded our expectations.

Hi there! We're the team behind Duet Photography & Video. We're a collection of wedding photographers, filmmakers, designers, and editors. We each have our own story of how we've come to be a part of this incredibly field of wedding journalism. As individual as we are, we're all bound by the same love for our craft – the artistry of blending documentary journalism with stunning, creative vision. With over a thousand weddings under our collective belts, we've photographed and filmed weddings of every shape and size imaginable. We can't wait to document your wedding as well!

I can’t say enough good things about this company, they were one of the most affordable we found and did an absolutely incredible job for our October wedding. We loved them so much, my sister ended up using them for her August wedding and they did an equally incredible job! I loved their bright, slightly editorial style. One of my vendors (who sees photos all the time) even said my album was one of her favorites! The team was sooo awesome and one of the best parts of the day! Mike was our lead photographer and was so knowledgeable while Adam was our awesome videographer. Yosaidy was our 2nd shooter and she was with my husband getting ready; he said she made the process so smooth and fun (which means a lot from a guy who hates pictures). She also fixed my train and veil in every photo, making sure it looked perfect which I really appreciated. The team made the day seamless and really helped to capture the beauty of our venue. After my husband switched jackets for the reception they made sure to take additional portraits of us which I didn’t even think about! They were able to fix a few issues that came up with sound on the video and were very communicative, definitely would recommend.

We are a family owned and operated studio delivering Photography & Cinematic Video. What started with my father who opened our first studio in Brooklyn, New York in 1992, has evolved into a spectacular studio that captures moments candidly for you to share with friends and family. At PSPi we tell your wedding day story in a new style. A style that blends photo journalism with an unobtrusive cinematic approach. Bringing back that powerful and emotional experience to a product that is personal, unique, modern and artistic.

From the first phone call with Pavel, I knew we were going to have an amazing team. Pavel was so incredibly thorough and reassuring and helped create a perfect timeline for the day. The team, Eddy, Rob & Dave, were so charismatic and knowledgeable. They knew exactly what to do and what instructions to give my husband and I to create the most beautiful and intimate photos. We’re a little camera shy, so the fact they were able to direct us and make us feel comfortable shows their expertise. We are so beyond happy with our photos, full length video and highlight reels. Also - I have to say, the team is so great at capturing AMAZING candids during the party! There were times I didn’t even know they were behind me, and I am so happy to have all these moments captured. I did not feel like I had a camera in my face during the party at all! We had 3K AMAZING photos to look through, and EVERY photo is fantastic. I have also watched my highlight reel so many times, and I’ve already watched my full length film and plan on watching it again with my parents. I will seriously be recommending PSPI to everyone I know!! THANK YOU PSPI!!
