We worked with Jon for our civil wedding photos in Brooklyn Heights and couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the moment we got in touch with him for the first time until the handoff of all the photos, the experience was seamless. His extremely organised work methodology made everything smooth and easy. We spent two hours with him walking around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, and the result was a great variety of photos. Jon's got a special eye for lighting, composition and editing. On top of everything, his personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera. 100% recommend working with him. It will be fun and the final edits will be memorable.

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! 🙂

After scoping out dozens of photographers in NYC, we fell in love with Tati and Roman’s work. It was a little over our price range, but the photographs and service were absolutely worth it! I had a very challenging wedding day, there were some very emotional moments, and Tati was my right hand girl. She had her eyes on me at all time for anything I needed, from bringing me a glass of water to calm me down, to rallying and directing people clearly in photographs. My favorite moment was when it started to rain towards the end of the night and Roman had my husband and I run out to take a gorgeous picture of the rain falling around us. I can't imagine a more magical portrait of our love, and will remember it forever. That photo alone made them worth it! Additionally, they were professional, friendly, and easy to work with from beginning to end. Tati and Roman runs their business with finesse - always meeting deadlines and responding to questions and concerns quickly. They are the best out there! Book them now!!! You will never regret this!

Jenna Salvagin Photography

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

We really loved working with Jenna and her assistants. We found Jenna through an LGBTQ Facebook group and we felt confident that our relationship and gender presentations would be celebrated. At the wedding, Jenna and her team went above and beyond, even helping with party prep when things went off schedule. She was lovely to communicate with and was so thoughtful in her preparation. Also, we just had a lot of fun together. Not to mention the photos are gorgeous -- beautifully composed and with incredible colors.

Where do I even begin? The short of it is that Eddie has given my husband and me incredible, breathtaking engagement and wedding photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!!! He first shot our engagement shoot and on top of being such an incredible person to work with and offering such a beautiful, fun vibe to energize our shoot with, his photos are UNBELIEVABLE. We were truly speechless when we saw our engagement photos and would not allow anyone but him to shoot our wedding day. Our wedding photos could not have possibly come out more amazing. I cried when I saw how beautiful they came out, and of course, how he managed to intricately capture the essence of our special day full of love and celebrations. AN EYE FOR PHOTOGRAPHY LIKE NO OTHER: My husband and I first met Eddie on our engagement shoot. My husband (like so many men), was feeling awkward before he even got in front of the camera. But the second we met Eddie, his vibe instantly loosened him up and he was able to capture the most sensational photos. He's patient, funny, kind, and has such a talent for capturing every type of photo there is (candids, portraits, artsy aesthetics, etc.) THE BEST ENERGY: He was exactly the type of energy you want from a photographer and brought his same beautiful energy from start to finish on our wedding day. So much so, that to this day my friends still rant about how amazing he was to be around and how he set such a fun tone for my wedding day. My husband and I have been part of countless weddings where the photographers are pushy, annoying, and ruin the vibe, so it was incredibly important for us to have someone with the right energy, and clearly, we strongly felt we found that in Eddie. I cannot count the number of times someone has 1. asked me who my photographer was, 2. how many times people have complimented how incredible both our engagement and wedding photos are 3. MOST IMPORTANTLY: how many of my friends went on to hire him for their own special occasions (from everything from engagement shoots, weddings, rehearsal dinners, etc.) In fact, my friend who hired him to shoot her rehearsal dinner (she had already booked her wedding photographer before my wedding), said that her one wedding regret was not hiring Eddie for her wedding. She still says to this day that her rehearsal dinner photos that Eddie shot came out better than her "high-end" wedding day photos. BOTTOM LINE: My husband and I have found not only a photographer for all of our special occasions to come in life from our connection with Eddie, but we've also found someone we consider a dear friend. He has genuinely become a very special person to us as a couple, our families, and our friends. His work is beyond dependable, his communication is reliable to the utmost degree, and while his prices are incredibly fair (especially for his incredible talent & aesthetic), I truly feel his work is PRICELESS.

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Jessica is the dream photographer you been wanting to capture your special day. She made us feel comfortable, at ease, and did an amazing job of capturing so many precious moments. If we had to do it all over again we would go with Jessica again in a heartbeat, we cant say enough great things about her! She takes the time to get to know you and become your best friend. She works with you to give you suggestions but also takes your vision and makes it ten times better. If only she lived in New Jersey, we would love to have coffee dates!

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

There are no words sufficient to explain how amazing Erica is. Aside from her clear talent and absolutely beautiful photographs, she herself is a wonder and a delight. From our very first zoom call, she was so kind, warm, and supportive. For my husband and I, it felt as if we were chatting with someone we had known for years. She made us feel so comfortable, despite being two fairly socially awkward people. Our engagement session proved that we had made the very best decision. It immediately felt as though we were just hiking with a friend. Erica is so upbeat and encouraging, but was also willing to confront those who rudely disrupted us in order to get the perfect shot. The time flew by because we were having so much fun. Her passion for what she does is evident, and it is reflected in the pictures she takes. Throughout the process of planning our wedding, Erica was constantly checking in and offering help, support, and most importantly, much-needed coffee. She was willing to help with anything and everything, even if it wasn’t related to the wedding. Thanks to her we not only have amazing engagement and wedding photos, but awesome, newly-painted kitchen cabinets. Looking back, our wedding day is all a bit of a blur. But we will absolutely never forget how incredible Erica was at all times, and thanks to her and her wonderful second shooter Maria, we have the most stunning pictures to remind us of such a perfect day. We had so many guests comment on how great she was. And despite her size, she had a commanding presence and was able to corral our obnoxiously large (and at times just obnoxious) wedding party and families. Her energy and excitement made everything so easy. We truly cannot thank her enough for all that she did and all that she is, and we would absolutely recommend her a thousand times over for all photography needs, or even if you just need some positive vibes. It is honestly impossible not to love her!

I have been photographing weddings for 12 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan was truly the best photographer we could’ve ever asked for for our wedding. From the moment we met her we both felt so comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos came out better than our wildest dreams and we will cherish them forever.

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

Cappy was a pleasure to work with from the very first interaction I had with her. She is full of joy and excitement about her work and it really comes through. We are extremely happy with both the engagement photos and our wedding photos—especially the photos of our reception. She captured the joy and excitement of the day so incredibly well. Looking through the albums allowed us to relive the day together and gave us so many fun snaps of our guests enjoying the party. Neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, but she somehow managed to help us relax and enjoy the experience, making the pictures even more beautiful. Cappy was there for every important moment of our day without being overwhelming. We all laughed with her during the posed shots of our family and bridal party and she managed to somehow work her way around the dance floor seamlessly to get the most amazing pictures of the party. Being able to see these and share them with family and friends has brought us so much joy and laughter. Cappy is incredibly talented, fun, and easy to work with—zero drama and all smiles. She was on time with everything, including the turnaround of the albums. She brought a second photographer with her to our wedding, Teresa, who was also amazing and they made a GREAT team. We would recommend her work to anyone!

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Sarah's professional abilities are endless. She works well with couples, listens, adjusts and always puts the client first. We are a COVID-19 couple and had to change our date several times due to the ever changing restrictions. Sarah was always there to support and understand us. She is so incredibly thoughtful with her work and as a person. We really enjoyed working with Sarah and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.

Walden, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd been following Nina Marin on Instagram for a number of years so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who to reach out to to capture my engagement shoot and elopement. As someone who cringes at being in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and didn't hesitate to pose us or adjust our awkward hands/faces/etc. The pictures we got back felt like us — Nina was able to capture not only the visual aspects of our special day, but also the sheer bliss. I'm so grateful to have worked with such an easygoing and trustworthy photographer.

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Erica and Elle were a dream to work with for our wedding! After seeing Erica in action at a wedding I was in the bridal party for, we knew we wanted her to photograph our Brooklyn wedding too. From the planning, to wrangling everyone day-of, to the photographs themselves and our wonderful album, we could not have asked for a better person to document our wedding. Since then, Clean Plate Pictures also photographed my sister's wedding and that of a good friend. Erica also referred us to our Coordinator and Photobooth, both of whom we were also incredibly happy with. We can not recommend Clean Plate enough!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Welcome! I'm Anita. I aim to freeze moments in time, ensuring they never fade away. Picture this: the exact curve of a smile, the hues of an unforgettable sunset, the ability to relive a cherished memory and rewind time. I value creating a safe haven for every facet of your humanity. Whether you're camera-shy or uncertain about interacting with a stranger, I strive to make the process comfortable. Let's not just capture moments; let's craft an experience where, perhaps, we'll both discover a new friend in the making.

We chose little cacti photography after meeting with a bunch of different photographers for our micro-wedding/elopement ceremony. Anita was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what we wanted to make our special day extra special. She lived up to our expectations and then some. We couldn't be happier with the way our pictures turned out. She is prompt, professional, funny, caring and really loves what she does and it shows in her work. We couldn't be happier with how she captured our special day. We highly recommend Little Cacti Photography.

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

My wife and I used Rebecca for both our engagement and wedding photos because of how easy to work with and enjoyable the photo shoots were. Not to mention how gorgeous all her work turns out! We’re both camera shy people but this was the most pain-free and happy experience I’ve ever had in front of a camera. Rebecca is great with making sure her client’s needs are met but is also good at going with the flow and making the environment/setting work for her. If I have any other life events that need to be photographed, I know who my only call would be!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

As a wedding florist, I've had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented and gifted photographers throughout the years and certainly have my favorites. Alex from White Poppy weddings is for sure one of them. She is kind, genuine, very easy to work with and I LOVE that she has an eye for not only only capturing the tender and important moments, but the beautiful details that tell the story of the day. I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!! I could not recommend this sweet, talented gal enough.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam is an amazing photographer and even more amazing teammate on your wedding day! She is comforting, totally in control and overly creative to capture all the shots. From the moment we booked her she was incredibly responsive and helpful! I cannot recommend someone more!

If there is anything I'd love for you to know the most about me, it's this: I will show up for you with compassion, courage and patience (and a little unconventional when inspired). My superhero strength is to see things that you don't; capturing significant moments or your 'perfect side.' I will transform your misconceptions about how you look on camera. It's empowering. I want to do that for you. I received my BFA in fine-arts from Pratt Institute and shot my first wedding in 1992. Photomuse was founded in 2002 and has gone on to become an award-winning photography studio.

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

There are always things you would do differently, but hiring Debbie Gander Photography is certainly not one of them. Debbie made us feel right at home from the moment we met her. She is professional, but also kind and personable. Our engagment shoot was perfect, and set our minds completely at ease for the big day. When our wedding day arrived, Debbie delivered with the most stunning pictures, some of which we never dreamed could be possible. We will certainly work with Debbie again, that is a certainty.

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!

I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

I had the pleasure of working with Brea on a recent bridal photoshoot. She was not only lovely to work with but she delivered stunning photos in record time!

I've been snapping photos for over 25 years now. What began as a fun little hobby quickly spiraled into an all-consuming passion. For more than two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG) as a marketing executive, rocking the suit-and-tie look like a champ. But you know what they say about following your dreams? Well, I finally listened. I ditched the corporate scene to capture the joy of weddings and to preserve the intrinsic beauty that surrounds us. Through my work, I aim to preserve memories, highlight untold moments, and foster a deeper connection between the viewer and my images.

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

When it comes to portraits, I love to get more editorial and incorporate bits of what makes you, you (as a couple) with the surrounding light, nature and architecture. Most importantly, when you look back at your photos I want you to remember how it felt.

I was born and partially raised in Southern California. After a few years + an exceptionally long cross country road trip - my parents decided to move us to the east coast. We've been complaining about the beaches ever since. My sister was always the artistic one. She sold her first piece while she was still in middle school, it took me a lot longer to figure out what I wanted to do. When I started doing photography - I honestly didn't realize how much I'd love it. It's not just about the lighting, filter, or the pursuit of the perfect Instagram feed. Sometimes it means going into the ocean to get the perfect shot.

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.

One of our friends in the wedding party is a professional photographer, and even (indeed, especially) they were really impressed by Bailey. After having done quite a lot of research on wedding photographers I'm confident in saying that her prices are an amazing deal for the quality you get. Plus, she's willing to talk to you openly about budget and what's possible in a given budget. And she's just a really nice, fun person. Having her around felt like having an extra friend at the wedding. Basically, hiring her was a great decision and you should also do it.

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. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Whitney Browne, one of Christopher Duggan Photography's Creative Team members, to photograph our wedding at Unico 2087 in Riviera Maya, Mexico. Whitney's experience with photographing dance (and not to mention many, many other weddings) was apparent from the start. With her artistic eye, she captured sentimental moments as they were happening, she somehow knew all of the perfect locations to make portraits (her eye for lighting is just...WOW), and our desire for having that in-the-moment/photojournalistic approach to our wedding photos was fulfilled in the absolute best way possible. Whitney's calm and unobtrusive approach helped with our wedding jitters, and her ability to keep up with our group of 65 guests impressed our friends & family so much that they are still talking about how wonderful she is weeks later!!! When I tell you that my husband & I have looked through ALL of our wedding photos several times and we STILL can't choose our favorites, that's all you need to know. Every. Single. Photo. is just THAT good. Hire CDP for your wedding– it won't be the same without them!!!

Their portfolio truly spoke to me during the browsing process and I knew they would give us an incredible product. What I underestimated was the flawless experience we would get with them as well. They are true professionals with so much talent (and they're tons of fun!!). If you are on a tight budget, I HEAR you. Consider cutting costs elsewhere and splurging on your photographs. You really do look back on your photos forever. Our parents and guests loved them as well. I now look forward to future life events that Fox and Hare can be part of! Thank you, Jen and Steve!!

We love her!!! She isn't your typical photographer who has a list of places to choose from, requests a date, takes the photo and done. Thalia took her time to get to know us, what we were looking for, to then also present her vision on where we should take our photos. I believe our location was selected based on my husbands and I personality, and not many photographers take the time to piece that together. I am typically not comfortable taking photos but not too long into our session, I found myself wishing the session wouldn't end. It was magical and whimsical. Thalia and her team were kind, nurturing and attentive. We received a detailed timeline and agenda for our session prior too, directions, contact information and she even sent us a few coffee & cafe locations near by so my husband and I can explore!

Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
We got married 3 years ago and our venue gave us three choices of photographer . When I saw The Mannix Co photography I immediately knew this was the photographer I wanted. Then we had our consultation with Alli and I fell in love! Her energy, personality, and ability to read the couple is everything you wish for in a photographer. My favorite memory is during our engagement shoot she told us to whisper cereal name to each other is a sexy voice! The product of said recommendation was amazing! On our wedding day, she felt like family. Capturing all the tiny moments and the big ones as well. I loved how she became one with my guests and had fun doing so. I also truly appreciated the way she accommodated to the unexpected event we had at our wedding affecting some of our vendors timeline, but Alli made it work and truly helped erase the sour taste of said event ( if curious… we had someone experience a stroke at our wedding). Recently she posted “if your looking for a timeless gallery go stand alone bangers that could be individually framed…” then this is the photographer for you! We have countless stand alone banger in our home and not enough wall space to add more. It was hard to choose but such a great dilema to have! I highly recommend The Mannix Co! Reach out to her and fall in love as we did. There no harm in giving her a call!

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Hannah was an amazing photographer from start to finish. Not only was she extremely organized and extremely responsive she had a very very solid process in place and it made us, a pair of neurotic newlyweds, feel completely at ease. She takes really amazing candid shots as well as is really good at giving direction when you want a photo that is more composed. Her flexibility also helps us relax especially given the day itself so hectic. The most incredible part is really actually the fact that we didn’t meet her in person even until our wedding day due to Covid and she still did a stellar job & took the most amazing photos for us that we will definitely cherish for very long time to come.

She is southern charm with a touch of New York grit; a hometown photographer with big city savvy - the perfect combination for an exceptional photographer.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim at Craven and Co. did far more than take unbelievable photos of our wedding day (though I'll get to that as well). I had no idea that a photographer could do so much to add to the energy of our overall experience. She caught the most touching details that I would have never thought to mention--from getting ready to the final moments walking away from our after party--as well as managed the group photo portion of the day brilliantly. Most importantly, Kim is wonderful at making everyone feel at ease so she can capture the true energy of the wedding. She knows weddings inside and out and knows how to be at the right place at the right time. Logistically, she was quick, easy to contact, and amazing at compiling images that told the full story of the experience. I still have people asking me who our photographer was and we have many of the photos framed in our home. I would recommend Craven and Co. to any couple!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

Awarded Best of Zola
You simply MUST hire Kelsey if you're looking for a wedding photographer. In our search, we kept coming across very moody or over-/under-saturated photography styles, which was not our vibe. We came across Kelsey's portfolio and were greeted with vibrant, true-to-life color and we were hooked. Kelsey's also just an incredibly kind and charismatic person — she made us feel at ease on our engagement session, and we got a chance to really connect, which made our wedding day that much more exciting because we felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. Kelsey went above and beyond her duties, like providing us with wedding day timeline guidance and driving one of us over to the venue so we could execute a 'first look.' We can't imagine our wedding day without Kelsey being there! Her photos speak for themselves, but I hope this review gives you the added encouragement to reach out to her, because you'll regret not hiring her for your own wedding

All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory.

He also had some fabulous ideas for posed pictures post ceremony. From the start I knew he would be great because he contacted me immediately after I sent a request to him and actually PICKED UP THE PHONE to speak in person. Crucial in my book!

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

His ability to capture the essence of our relationship and the emotions of our special moments is genuinely remarkable. Our engagement photos turned out beautifully, and they perfectly captured the joy and excitement of that milestone in our lives. If you're looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond to capture the magic of your special moments, look no further. We cant wait for our wedding day.

The Narrative by Jarrod Rigby (Photo + Video)

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

We’re Anton & Natalie - your new adventure buddies! On our first date we spent the day doing what we love most, getting outside. That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

Natalie and Anton were fantastic. They were super easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable with all things COVID. Our wedding was smaller than originally planned and they just made working with them so easy. They did a fantastic job the day off and we got our pictures back way sooner than I expected. They are great!! Can’t wait to work with them again next year.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Sam has been a videographer at a wedding that I photographed before. It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

Met Nicole while working at a wedding in February 2024. She was very kind to our staff and not in the way at all. She allowed everyone to enjoy the party without blocking views or being rude. Yet managed to do her job with a smile the whole time! She is very pleasant!
