Hello! I'm Florencia, a wedding photographer based in NY/NJ and I'm looking forward to meeting you! I'm fluent in English and Spanish and I found myself working with multicultural couples a lot. That's one of the many amazing parts of my work. I've been capturing love stories for more than seven years and I LOVE to do this for a living.

Flo is a fantastic photographer. When we first contacted her, she was immediately responsive. After sharing it with her, our concern was whether she had prior experience photographing black people. She reassured us, gave us examples, and ensured we were at ease! She was constantly snapping photos of us, our friends, and our families on our wedding day. Flo and her assistant are efficient, creative, and quick! It was a pleasure to collaborate with them. It was a gorgeous day, and Flo's photos captured it perfectly. All of the pictures were delivered ahead of schedule. Also, kudos to her assistant, who was also fantastic!

At the risk of sounding overly enthusiastic, we were incredibly impressed with how Tati and Roman captured our natural beauty in the photos. The final product is simply breathtaking – a collection of heirloom-quality photographs that are a true joy to behold. Beyond their artistic brilliance, Tati and Roman made the entire experience effortless. They were incredibly responsive throughout the months leading up to the weddings, seamlessly coordinating logistics for both ceremonies.

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.

Justin is AMAZING! Definitely the best vendor we chose for our wedding. Our pictures came out amazing and he really helped us feel comfortable despite our nerves about being in front of the camera. 100% believe he is a star in the wedding photography community and we are so lucky we were able to nab him. If you want great pictures and a great experience, book Justin always.

Our wedding day in Central Park was an absolute dream, thanks to our amazing photographer Amy! We couldn't have imagined our day without her. She was extremely professional, very organized, and most importantly brought a really positive energy. She was so easy to work with from the interview to the wedding day itself, which was really important to us because we were organizing the wedding from Canada. Amy is so experienced and really put us at ease. She was great at getting everyone together for photographs and getting the kids to smile by saying something silly. All of our guests loved her. She also anticipated our needs and just knew the perfect time for a snack or a break. Amy has a great eye for the most beautiful pictures. We knew this from her portfolio but it's really cool to see this in action. She would catch the smallest details, like a water bottle, or a brightly coloured jacket, or people in the background. She scouted the most beautiful locations for us and it was really cool watching her frame the perfect shots. And when we got the pictures back, they really were perfect! Amy's greatest talent is capturing amazing candid moments and people's unique personalities. And because she puts people so at ease, she gets the best photos out of them, even if you're a little camera shy. Amy made our day into something truly extraordinary, and we couldn't be happier with the memories she captured for us!

We hired Shelby for our wedding in Brooklyn and undoubtedly made the best choice for photographer. She was professional, communicative, and obviously talented (her work speaks for itself!) We chose one of her higher packages that included a second photographer so we could have our groomsmen and bridesmaids both photographed getting ready at separate locations. Throughout the event, she was like a fly on the wall, and captured so many amazing moments without us even taking notice. When our guests engaged with her, she was fun and interactive. In the end, her photos somehow turned out better than we expected, clearly illustrating her talent and attention to detail. We have and would highly recommend Shelby to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

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 was the perfect photographer for us on our wedding day. She stuck with our time line that we had planned for the whole day, which made it run extremely smooth. She was professional, but was also able to keep the mood light and fun. I would highly recommend kim for any photography needs

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.

Millie had originally gifted me with a free session via an Instagram contest she had. Little did I know that after that my (now fiancé) had reached out to her to help him plan the most beautiful proposal during our shoot. Not only did the photos turn out incredibly gorgeous, but working with Millie from beginning to end was the best experience. I was so nervous for photos and she eased my nerves and made me feel really comfortable and confident in myself. While planning she listened to things that I was interested in and came up with a wonderful plan for our day together. Overall I had the best day of my life (so noted in my title), and cannot wait to work with Millie again in the future!!

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!

Loved working with Dasha. She was extremely organized and prepared. We met over zoom first to discuss her process and she oriented me well to expectations, she helped me think through the days plan. On the day of she was prompt, flexible, positive. I had a DIY style wedding and there were a lot of moving pieces but Dasha kept up and was so sweet along the way. My fiancé was not super into pictures ever, but she helped us through his awkwardness with it and the pictures looked amazing. I’m so happy with the final pictures I could not recommend her more. Dasha is a consummate professional. I highly, highly recommend her. In a sea of what was many little fires on my wedding day I was able to rely on her. Now that the wedding is done I’m very grateful for the beautiful photos.

i consider myself too much of a hopeless romantic and a laid-back photographer to bring the best in you! i’ve been told that nurture is my superpower, and documenting love stories is my outlet. over the years i’ve learned that when it comes to being creative, art it’s what makes me feel alive, that's why my approach to photography is to have an "as-personal-as-possible" experience with my couples by valuing authenticity and connection. to make the whole process feel light and easy! your life’s best moments and stages deserve to be documented in a way that tells YOUR story.

My (now) husband and I eloped in NYC and hired Juan to document the experience and I am so grateful we did!! Juan is the kindest, easiest person to work with and a wonderfully creative photographer. We spent the day taking photos in front of City Hall, Joe's Pizza, and the NY Public Library and time just flew by! We're obsessed with how our photos turned out and love that we get to look back on this day forever :)

When looking for a wedding photographer I wanted to find someone of course who had talent and beautiful editing skills but I also wanted to be comfortable, I wanted something personal with my photographer. And boy did I hit the jackpot with Mina! Her skills are INCREDIBLE. Our photos are absolutely stunning and I’ve received so many compliments. Not only that but we received our photos so quickly. A lot of people only give you the bare minimum edited photos but she edited almost every single one!!

Emma Cleary Photo and Video

5.0

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

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.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

I live in New York City and Northwest CT with my wife and our two rescue dogs. I am a commercial lifestyle and wedding photographer. My creative journey began when I spent a decade touring the country with my indie rock band, The Booda Velvets. While on tour I was always taking photos with my dad’s old Pentax film camera and a Polaroid SX70. During this time, my passion for documentary style photography was born and after touring I traded the guitar for the camera and haven’t looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Firstly, and most importantly, the photos were beautiful. Gorgeous light, warmth, and composition. Adam delivered a comprehensive selection of photos to us that really captured the energy of our wedding. He was attentive and made sure we got all the posed photos we wanted, but during the party portion was unobtrusive and able to melt into the atmosphere to capture some amazing candids. He is a very pleasant and organized person as well - with plenty of experience - so he was able also to guide us in some important decision making. This is a photographer you can trust!

When you book Susan, you book an entire team. I was so confident the whole night that photos were completely handled because Susan's team was ON TOP of it. Before I even thought about a shot, they were already taking it. It didn't feel cheesy and they were so fun to work with. Susan was very patient and kind with me too whenever we did pre-wedding calls and I was an utter mess trying to plan everything.

I'm just an 80's born, 90's raised millennial photographer who wants to shoot passionate couples and have his avocado toast too. My approach to photography is journalistic, directed not posed. My approach to a wedding day is calm, attentive, easy-going, non-intrusive without being awkwardly shy, and always with a smile.

I had the pleasure of working with Hector on one of my weddings (I'm a Day of Coordinator) and he was great day of! He came early so we can scout out a few locations for photos at the venue, was easy to talk too and my clients loved him! Not the mention the photos delivered were soooo beautiful! I would highly recommend Héctor Javier Foto to anyone getting married!

I would describe myself as a minimalist on the outside, Liberace on the inside. Obsessed with: dogs, dog-like cats, oysters, urban planning, and really excellent stand-up comedy. I'm originally from the majestic state of New Jersey, and live in the Ditmars section of Astoria, Queens. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can bet I'm either reading or writing fiction (currently working on a project set in Pennsylvania coal country, where my grandfather grew up), watching or rewatching great television

Of the dozens of people we needed to work with at our wedding, Alexis was by far our favorite. We sought her out for her style - natural, candid, genuine. But she was also the most professional, punctual, prepared and FUN person to work with. She was on top of absolutely everything and we were so well taken care of. It's been a while since we got married, but her style of photography really allows us to relive the day. There are no stuffy portraits, just beautifully captured natural moments that really paint a picture of what it was like to be there. We can't say enough about how lucky we were to find Alexis!

We are Roge and Fernando and we want you to know some things about us. We passionately and creatively document love stories. (It feels so cheesy when I see it written, but it’s true.) And we want you to understand that there are no second chances to get it right, and that we are obsessed with getting it right. This is your wedding, our work will tell your story forever, and we don’t take that lightly. At all.

This husband and wife duo is the real deal! I have been in 15+ wedding in my life I've seen just about everything. They absolutely exceeded every expectation. The pictures are just on another level. Their ability to efficiently pose large groups is the best I've ever seen. I seen other photographers waste so much time trying to do this but they nailed it in no time at all. The intimate photos getting ready before the ceremony look like they belong in a fashion magazine. They literally got better and better as the night went on. Our reception was action packed, my wife and I danced a good 75% of the time and every time I looked up from the fun they were there capturing all the genuine happy moments with friends and family. The candid photos are so good , looking through the mountain of photos they gave us feels like living my wedding night over every time. Not to mention they gave us like 100 pictures the day after that we shared immediately on social media. Then gave all the rest to us 1 month after the wedding. I can not recommend them enough... for what they gave me I honestly feel like they should have charged me double.

I stay behind the camera because I'm more than a little introverted. That is, until I get to know people. Then I open up and we can talk about movies, music, dogs (I'm happy to show you pictures and videos of my rescue dog). I love what I do because I get to capture moments between you and the most important people in your life that you'll be able to relive for decades to come!

Casey photographed my wedding in 2008. We chose him because we really found his photography to be stylish and beautiful without being pricey or pretentious, and we found it in him. Of course we had a budget, but Casey worked with us every step of the way to make it work without pressure. He made eye contact when we spoke, took notes and was attentive and sensitive to every detail. I finally felt seen. I didn't feel like I was just another bride. In that moment; I was THE BRIDE. At the wedding he was a calming presence, as he and his assistant helped with details sometimes above and beyond his job description. When it came time to actually pose with some family members, he was patient and his comedic personality kept us all entertained through those "mandatory photos". The rest? Well it was on artistic auto-pilot from there, it was incredibly smooth. He is able to move around the room capturing the pure emotions that made your day, yours. I remember him being there of course, but I just remember having the best time of my life;not if I closed one eye or had lipstick on my teeth. Our photos were the simply the best photojournalism I had ever seen. My jaw dropped because I don't consider myself photogenic AT ALL (hello, double chin! Just why? EVERY pic from girl's night..really?) but there it was. I looked GOOD. Everyone did. Great light and texture...high-def LOVE. It was INCREDIBLY difficult to narrow down the pics we wanted to an amazing album that he retouched to perfection and arranged! So. In conclusion.... Stop. Looking. Further. You found him. Be Happy. And Congrats on one of the first of many smart decisions as you begin your new life together.

As my Instagram bio says, I'm a country girl by birth, a city girl by choice and a photographer by obsession. I grew up on a farm in a small Midwestern town, but have lived in New York City for over 25 years. As a photographer I say I'm self-taught, but in reality I've had the benefit of amazing mentors and teachers along the way who helped me elevate my work and pursue joy along with results. When not making photos or hanging out with my husband and kids, you can find me with a book in hand or listening to music while indulging my love of textiles at my sewing machine (yes, I really own a sewing machine)! Oh, or dancing! :-)

We loved having Amy photograph our wedding day! Her style of photography is completely different from traditional wedding photography. Amy's candid photography really captured the emotion of the day and we love the black and white prints! Amy worked so well with our other more traditional photographer. The shooting is so different that there was zero interference. We cherish our photos and highly recommend anyone getting married to consider hiring Amy to capture the day!

Fast forward to the early 1990s, Warren’s grandson, John Salkowsky, decided to follow in his grandfather’s footsteps and open a wedding photography and video studio. When it came time to name this newly formed company, there was only ONE name it could possibly have – Silverfox Studios.

I have been working with Silver Fox Studios for more than 10 years. John and his team are professional, courteous, honorable and kind aside from being great photographers.

As your wedding photographers we are here to document your love, so don't hold anything back. Share ALL of your emotions with us and forget the "photo shoot" aspect of it. Focus on enjoying the day with your loved one and embrace the spontaneous moments. We want you to just be you! We only ask that you trust us, dream with us, and allow us to create something beautiful together.

Jess and Andrea of Forever Photography truly made our wedding on 5/29/22 so enjoyable. My husband (!!!) and I come from HUGE immediate families, so we knew it would be a lot to get everyone together for photos. Not only did Forever make the family portraits (and EVERY part) so insanely relaxing and fun, they are also incredibly kind people with talent that is shown through every photo. I've been to so many weddings where the photographers just point and shoot and don't really seem to care much about the outcome, but each photo the team takes, you know they put their heart and soul into it. My entire family and bridal party have raved about how this duo made what can sometimes be a dreadful/boring experience such a seamless and enjoyable one. From our engagement shoot a year ago to our wedding day, we know we made the right decision choosing them to be a part of the most special time of our lives. Having already received some preview photos, we are blown away and have been sharing them with everyone! It was really important to us to have a great photographer, but we didn't realize just how lucky we were to have chosen Forever until the day of the wedding where they made every moment enjoyable, really cared about making us feel comfortable, and were so patient and understanding. And when we saw the photos, we were absolutely blown away and cannot believe they captured our love, our family and friends, and our wedding as a whole so perfectly. We are FOREVER grateful!

On most weekends you can find me, Robert ('Bobby'), photographing weddings—either in New York (where I lives) or farther a field: in various locations around the US and abroad. I find wedding ceremonies to be more than just a series of actions, people, and images to be “captured,” but rather recognizes them as events full of deep personal and cultural significance, particular to a specific time and place and community. As such, I assumes the responsibility of documenting these moments with great respect, believing them to be deserving of a discerning eye and an artistic hand.

We had the pleasure of meeting Bobby a few years ago when my sister got married. When we got engaged, he was the first vendor that we booked. Bobby is an incredibly professional and passionate photographer. His work captures every emotion of the day. What we love the most about Bobby is his calm demeanor and that he blends in with the crowd. He is really flexible and is willing to accommodate all needs. We are currently in the process of making our wedding album and it’s hard to choose the photos, as every one is better than the next. We are forever grateful to Bobby for capturing our special day.

The key to our service is investing in making your wedding day experience great. With this service in mind, we can create beautiful visual storytelling that is singular for you. Our name, Ein photo , embodies that mission. Eins (pronounced [aɪ̯ns]) means one in German, so Ein Photo means one photo. One has many meanings to it, the first, the best, but we look at it as the only one. One couple, with one story, told by one series of photos.

We met with several photographers and knew we wanted Tim and his team to be our photographer after our first meeting. My husband and I both don't really like having our pictures taken and thought our engagement photoshoot session was going to be filled with uncomfortable awkward poses and smiles. We were so wrong! Tim made us feel comfortable and easily directed us when needed. It ended up being a really fun hour and we loved how natural we looked in all of our pictures! For our wedding, Tim and his team arrived on time and captured all of our key moments. They were so efficient and easy to work with the entire day (and throughout this entire process)!

If you're searching for a photographer who will make you feel comfortable, cool, and let you thrive as your true selves, hello, you've come to the right place! I genuinely want to forge a connection, hang with you, and earn your trust. I'll capture everything, and I'll be there for you whether you need a safety pin or someone to wipe away your tears.

Where do I even start?! Our journey with Sydney began 3 years ago when we fell in love with her style and video chatted with her before hiring her to take our engagement photos. From the very beginning, Sydney felt like a good friend, made us feel totally comfortable, and had amazing ideas for great photos. We were above and beyond happy with our photos and couldn't wait for her to shoot our wedding. Our wedding day finally came around and OH. MY. GOD. Words cannot describe how absolutely beautiful our photos are! She knew exactly what I liked and somehow managed to capture all the little details and ALL THE LOVE perfectly! I've had multiple people tell me that her photos are the best they've ever seen! Every single one! There weren't just some good photos, they were ALL good! Sydney is very communicative, open to changes, easily reachable, and will work hard to make you happy! Thank you so much for allowing us to relive our perfect day! <3

It’s a pretty cool/weird thing when your hobby becomes your job, so I feel like I am still working on being a more well rounded human hobby-wise. I love hiking with my pup Tucker, bringing my hammock to the park with a good book, finding cool events happening in the city, making homemade milkshakes(you haven’t lived until you’ve made a pb&j milkshake with chocolate sauce. Stop reading and go do that now, you’ll thank me later), oh and watching way too much TV! It’s the golden age of television, so how can you not.

I believe photography is a snapshot of life, where a feeling is captured and magically stored in a timeless memory, a memory that can bring you back to that same instant, the excitement of a moment and cherish the tangible feeling of a photograph. I was born in Ecuador where I spent my childhood surrounded by the unconditional love of my abuelita, she now resides in heaven. I was always independent and silly in front of a camera. I wasn’t too much into playing with a camera and preferred to play in the garden, running around, catching butterflies and always excited to find a ladybug, aren’t they so pretty?

Booking Bailey as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding planning process! We had such a great experience working with Bailey - from booking her, having our engagement photo session in Connecticut, postponing our wedding due to COVID, and ultimately celebrating our big day this past August in Vermont. She is extremely organized, detail-oriented, and flexible. Her photos are absolutely gorgeous and captured our entire wedding weekend perfectly! Bailey (along with her second photographer) had a unique ability to somehow be everywhere throughout our entire wedding day without being intrusive. She captured every important moment and more! One of the best decisions was to also ask Bailey to come to our Rehearsal Dinner and Welcome Party. She was able to capture so many more candids of our guests and detail shots of our venue, and it will be a great way to look back on our entire wedding weekend. I can't stop looking at our entire photo gallery since Bailey sent it and feel extremely lucky that we have such beautiful photos that captured the best day of our lives!

The thing that stood out the most for me about Thalia was her black and white photography, I remember trolling her Instagram and I was captured by this black and white photo of a wedding couple, I instantly knew she was the one I wanted to capture my big day! The email communication and general communication with her was timely and she answered all my questions and gave me guidance when needed. Our first encounter was for our engagement shoot, which btw I am so glad she suggested we do this because it helped my husband and I get acquainted with not only Thalia but just to get a bit more comfortable with doing a professional photo shoot. Our engagement shoot was in Central Park, NY. Thalia made us feel so comfortable during the shoot and had a light hearted energy to her, my husband hates taking photos and even he enjoyed himself throughout the day. Leading up to the weeks of our wedding day, Thalia would check in and her timeline of the wedding day was so helpful and really helped eased my nerves as to how the day would go. On our wedding day, Thalia arrived early so she could take photos of all the details. She quietly took photos of things that I didn't even notice until I saw the final prints. I have so many favorite photos and she knocked the black and white photos straight out of the park! They are gorgeous!!!!! Throughout the wedding day she made me feel so calm and I really appreciated that, especially because as a bride you're hoping everything is perfect. There were many moments where we had some girl talk and laughed and that also helped keep me at ease. My family kept saying how sweet she was and how easy going she made them feel. The timeline Thalia provided was spot on! Everything went according to planned and the times were laid out perfectly. We had our first look which was perfect, Thalia captured moments with my grandmother that when I looked at them I cried. I want to thank her for that because my grandmother is my world. Throughout the wedding reception, you didn't even notice Thalia, she was here and there capturing all those key moments that looking back at them now makes my heart full and lets me know the level of detail she captures is pure talent. One thing about Thalia is her patience, she's not pushy or bossy, she really loves what she does and goes out her way to make sure you have a good time. Thalia is just so sweet, I feel like it is so important to work with someone who is warm and kind. Overall, book Thalia! You will not regret the decision, she is extremely talented and I will definitely use her for future occasions!

The day I met Daniela, I knew she would capture our special day perfectly. Daniela was constantly in contact with us from the moment we signed a contract with her. Before we even attended our engagement photo shoot, Daniela made sure we were prepared for what to expect and sent out questionnaires to get to know us. Our engagement shoot was in the middle of winter at lake Minnewaska and those moments were captured perfectly. She was very personable and made us feel relaxed and comfortable (she even allowed our pup to be in our shoot). As the wedding started to approach, she made sure we had all of our vendors and plans were all set. Daniela was always asking how we were feeling as our big day was coming. We were not nervous at all and beyond ready for her to capture this moment. We had our last zoom call the week of the wedding and planned out our timeline and picture list. Daniela showed up with her assistant on the day of the wedding and of course, it was pouring rain (as everyone says, rain is good luck). She was flexible with the weather and made sure I was okay with any changes. We were able to get our portraits done outside because the rain had slowed down, then took family portraits inside. Daniela and her assistant followed the picture list we had created perfectly and even dealt with my crazy family lol. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even though the weather did not cooperate, the pictures couldn't have come out any better. Daniela captured all of the feelings from our special day. We are beyond thankful for her and her team. Thank you for all of the happy tears!

If you're the kind of couple that would prefer their photographer feel like one of the guests as opposed to a paparazzi, and if when the neighbors complain about the noise, you just invite them to the party, keep reading. I take a documentary-style approach to my weddings. Roaming with a camera, I capture the candid moments and small details that make your wedding unique to you, while making sure to set aside time for a few special portraits.

We could not recommend Steph more highly. We had to postpone our wedding several times due to Covid, and throughout the process, Steph was so accommodating. When we finally got to celebrate, she brought the best energy to the day - she was calm, warm, and positive. And most importantly, her photos were amazing! We wanted more candids than posed photos, and she totally followed our lead and captured the joy of the day. You should book Steph!
