Mark B. Carrier Photography

Smithfield, RI
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Hamden, CT

Hey friends! What is the value of a photograph? Well, if it’s art, then its value is determined by the status and popularity of the artist, in most cases anyway. If it’s that one moment at your wedding when your fiancé reads your love note for the first time, sheds that one tear they swore wouldn't happen, then it’s a moment you need captured and archived, because its value is incomprehensible. I’m going to capture that moment and preserve it forever you! Hi! My name is Mark! I'm a wedding photographer in Rhode Island and I'm really excited you're here. Send me a message, I'd love to chat with you about your wedding vision.

Mark is an outstanding photographer who effortlessly captures unique settings with incredible attention to detail. We’ve worked together countless times. A true professional who not only excels in his craft but also establishes a fantastic rapport with couples, infusing every moment with genuine joy.

We met Rayleen years ago during a family photo shoot. We knew from that day that she was who we wanted for our wedding. She was so laid back, kind, easy-going, and we never felt that awkwardness of having our photo taken. Our wedding photos came out beautifully, I still admire them 3 years later. Rayleen and Tim are creative and do amazing work. We have used Rayleen ever since for different occasions! She’s our absolute go-to for life’s greatest moments, not to mention and overall wonderful person.

Cate Barry Photography

5.0

Hamden, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

I am a Connecticut-based wedding and portrait photographer obsessed with candid moments, real emotion, and the connections between human beings. I strive to capture life as we actually live it: full of beauty and roughness, joy and struggle, extravagance and simplicity. When I photograph you, I’m not thinking about getting likes on social media. I’m thinking about what will make your heart grow three times its size. I’m thinking about what will make you ugly-cry, looking back. I’m thinking about you seeing how awesome and truly loved you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
I truly can't recommend Cate highly enough. When my wife and I were looking for wedding photographers I kept thinking that so many of the pictures looked either like stock photos or the Goodfellas poster, and Cate perfectly matched the exact opposite of that energy. We literally rescheduled our wedding around her availability and would do it again in a heartbeat. She was a delight to work with; if she weren't photographing the wedding, we probably would have invited her as a guest after the first few times we chatted over Zoom. And the pictures, of course, were incredible--both in quality and in sheer numbers.

I am animated, honest and fun! I am a mom, wife, teacher, avid runner and overall a very passionate person. I love my family, anything nautical and really enjoy a great glass of bubbly at the end of a long day! I'd love to meet you!

Erica and her team were incredible. Starting from our engagement photos (which we loved!) Erica worked to get us more comfortable in front of the camera and ready for our wedding day. In between then and the event, she was communicative, supportive, and available. On the day itself she brought her usual AMAZING energy that made us feel at ease, and impressed our whole family with her ability to organize, get the shots, and let us get back to the party! I would also be remiss if I didn't mention the incredible team she brought with her. Not only did they match her positive and upbeat energy, but they helped capture some amazing moments for us and our family. I find myself returning to our online albums every few weeks and liking a few more pictures each time that "I can't believe I missed". I am so grateful we had Erica as our photographer and look forward to years of looking back at these pictures and reliving the joy she captured.

Stephanie Anestis Photography

Guilford, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,800

At every wedding, I'm constantly alert to the small moments that make a day unique: a father's kiss, an heirloom kerchief, a ring bearer getting licked by the groom's dog. I see beauty everywhere on a wedding day. I spend the entire day smiling. My face usually hurts on my drive home ;)! Although I'm primarily photojournalistic in style, I know how to take charge for posed portraits. I've been a photographer full-time for over ten years, and I can be quick and efficient for group shots, so you can get back to your party! I also love sneaking you two away for some lovely portraits when the light is perfect.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s hard to imagine our wedding without Stephanie’s calm presence and gorgeous photos. We had a very small wedding (28 people) at a vineyard in Connecticut. Stephanie captured the intimacy of our event and so many wonderful spontaneous moments. She has the uncanny ability to let the wedding flow unhindered, and yet - when the moment comes for that great snapshot - she is in the right place at the right time! For our wedding, some of my favorite photos were taken at dusk, when the kids were ready to let off some steam and went outside to run through the rows of grapevines. Stephanie’s photos embody the freedom and joy of those stolen moments. She is a true artist - and a lovely, warm person. I highly recommend her.

Hi there! My name is Chris Randall. I'm a wedding photographer based in New Haven, Connecticut. I've been photographing weddings for twelve years and have photographed over 100 weddings. I absolutely love capturing the magic that exists between two people on the biggest day of their lives! It’s a responsibility that I don’t take lightly and I see it as an honor.

Chris took photos of our wedding and we can't say enough great things about him. As you can tell from his website, the quality of the pictures he takes is outstanding. We loved how his pictures captured the essence of moments without resorting to excessive editing or effects. What you can't tell from his website is that Chris is great and easy to work with. He was responsive, suggested great locations for a photo shoot, adapted plans to stay on schedule, and was an overall calming presence. We also loved that Chris gave us full rights to our photos, meaning that we don't have to pay to download or print them. Overall very highly recommended!

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey is beyond talented at capturing genuine moments and making them look incredible. She became a quick friend while also remaining professional. I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding and I will absolutely shoot with her again in the future! Highly recommend working with Kelsey!!!

Noah & Jules

5.0

Guilford, CT
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Our favorite photos are the ones that show your true selves, the ones where you are caught off guard, where you aren't paying attention to us running around, hiding behind bushes to get the frame, laying on the ground to change the angle. When we aren't taking photos we are dreaming of taking photos. We're married! We have a few kids too! We're creative, quirky, lovers of inspiration.

I don’t even know where to begin. To put it simply, Julianna and Noah are the BEST! They literally do it all - from wedding pep talks, jokes to keep you laughing through the stress of the day, managing our rather large family for photos, keeping everything fun and enjoyable, to creating insanely beautiful and unique photos. We couldn’t have asked for a better team to work with or for more incredible photos to remember our special day. We hope to get the chance to work with them again in the future!

Southbury, CT
  • Photojournalistic style

Oh, hey! I’m Dana. I am a free-spirit with a true love for connection and raw emotion. I’ve been known to get caught up in the experience and have a passion for storytelling, so my photography is candid and emotive. I’m also a sucker for a gorgeous, natural backdrop so there’s nothing better than capturing an honest moment with a killer landscape. ​ When I don’t have a camera in my hand or a client on the therapy couch, I’m busy being a Mom to twins and wife to my partner, Brandi. You can also find me decorating our home or researching our next spontaneous adventure.

We have been using Dana for about 2 years now, and she has photographed myself and family from fall portraits to a surprise vow renewals and continuously leaves us speechless with every ‘unveiling’. Dana is easy to work with. Her sessions are effortless and honestly most times we all can’t stop laughing. Her eye for detail is spot on and her creativity in the moment is so much fun to be apart of. I highly recommend using Dana for your photography use because you will not be disappointed!

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. = )

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

The team at Once Like a Spark shot my husband and I's November 2023 wedding at the Beauport Hotel Gloucester. We could never say enough TERRIFIC things!!! We are so impressed with the value of working with OLAS. Their pricing was extremely reasonable and what we got for it blew us away -- 8 hours of a photographer and second shooter, a videographer and second shooter, 400 amazing photos, a highlight reel, videos of speeches, the entire ceremony and a 45-min feature film of everything. The talent of Graham, our photographer, and Zack our videographer was seriously SO impressive. The passion they each have for their craft was so evident the day of our wedding and to see them so excited about the work got us that much more excited about it too. Additionally, they were so easy and FUN to work with! We had such a natural and positive rapport with them and they seriously made taking all the many photos required on your wedding day feel relaxed and enjoyable. In addition, Hannah was awesome to work with! She was extremely responsive with every one of the many emails I sent and made us feel like we were in great hands from the moment we signed our contract. Would recommend this team, 10/10 to anyone!

My name is Mark and I created “This Insane Idea” with the vision that anything is possible. I've had a passion for photography my entire life, capturing moments around me in the most authentic ways until one day my wife told me “go full time”, it was insane. I fell in love with wedding photography and the emotion it brought out for everyone involved. Family, love, laughter and memories are four things that I think about on a daily basis, I’m practically addicted. When I’m not obsessing over wedding photography I am spending time with my wife Brittany, two sons and our two huskies. We look forward to capturing your day!

Mark, Brittany, Tom, Kasey. I cannot put into words how amazing this team is, but here I go! Their work is brilliant and speaks for itself! But let me tell you from firsthand experience. From day one, to our engagement shoot, to our wedding day and everything in between, they are the best people to have by your side. Nick and I were always nervous for our photos. Being a gay couple it isn’t always easy feeling like yourselves in front of people, let alone in front of a camera! Not once did we not feel like us. This easily became one of our favorite parts of wedding planning and our wedding day! Don’t overthink. Pick Mark and his team. You deserve to have the best group of people around you. You’ll feel like the luckiest couple with them!

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.

She is such a joy to work with, and pours her heart into the process of capturing love on film! Steph is professional and accommodating and made sure that our love story was showcased in the photos. Her attention to detail is superb--she made one photo that was an overlay of my Maid of Honor's speech with the photo of her delivery that is an absolute piece of art!

Jason is incredible. He is a talented photographer and storyteller, and a great business person to boot! He is exactly who you want your friends and family to interact with your wedding day. I would highly recommend him to any person looking to capture the essence of their wedding day and of their beloved family and friends. Regarding the business perspective: my partner and I planned our wedding from afar and from the start Jason was responsive and easy to work with. I admire that he didn’t pressure us on hurrying to book the way other photographers did and he made the time to connect with us. He was also able to process photos quickly and with high quality. Regarding the photos: we purchased his engagement and wedding day package and I could not be happier and think he was priced very competitively. My partner and I had previously had engagement photos done with another vendor and their quality was not even comparable to Jason’s. Because of Jason’s photo journalistic nature and our desire to avoid a lot of staged poses Jason built a beautiful story of us and our engagement and wedding day. His photos are striking, surprising, and beautiful. He captured heartfelt moments that I did not see during our wedding, too. Our friends and family are in love with the photos that we have shared with them and we are so honored to have had Jason capture our wedding day. I cannot wait to look at these photos for years to come and relive our wedding day!

Hello and welcome! My name is Tatiana and I'm the girl from Brooklyn but I was born in raised in Siberia, Russia. Since I was teenager I was taken photographs of every day moments and small happenings in my life. And I never knew that taking photographs and creating memories for other people will become my dream job! I am a traveller, adventurer, dog lover and of course wedding and elopement photographer in NYC and beyond! And let me tell you I absolutely love weddings! It's a tremendous honor to witness and document the love. I always shed a tear at the ceremonies.

It's been almost 2 years since we were married, and looking back on our wedding album, I am so glad we found Tati. As we suspected, our wedding day was a whirlwind. With so much happening at once, it took some time to ease into the moment, and at times, it was hard to stay in the moment. Regardless, from beginning to end, Tati captured all the important ones beautifully. We couldn't be happier.

Wayne at LoveDays Photography is the best, no matter the metric. We used him for our backyard (COVID) wedding, our 1-year anniversary wedding, and our engagement photos in Boston and on the Cape. Wayne’s pictures are gorgeous - utilizing light in extremely unique ways - and extremely creative - utilizing everything marshes, to us lying in the parking lot (pictures turned out so great!), to us symmetrically spread out against a symmetrical building background. His pictures are really breathtaking, and we and our family and friends look back through them very frequently, and will continue to do so for the rest of our lives. If you want wedding pictures that are art, this is the photographer for you. Wayne is also extremely kind - both with his time and with his genuine interest in those he is photographing. He is funny and patient, even when other folks are stressed or late, and this makes him a master of the photography sessions, making calm and fun what can be very stressful. We highly recommend Wayne and look forward to using him for other events for years to come!

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.

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!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

My husband and I worked with Anj for our engagement photos in Spring 2023 and our wedding photography on September 30, and we are very happy with the results! Anj was kind, talented, affordable, and a pleasure to work with. We loved our engagement photos in Wissahickon Park. Anj spoke with us before both projects to get a sense of what we wanted, and she understood our desire for unpretentious, mostly candid, true-to-life yet elevated style in the photos. She was excellent in directing our families on the wedding day for posed family and bridal party photos in an unfamiliar location. Several of our family members told us afterward that they were impressed with her organization and clear directions she gave them. And she suggested we have a friend do a video of our first look while she photographed it, which was the best decision we made. The moment was intimate and we forgot she or anyone else was in the room. The pictures of this turned out so well too! She took pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids and was well-liked by everyone there including the hair stylists and my little niece. I was really nervous in the beginning of the day and she really helped me feel centered. And towards the end of the night, Anj even helped instruct us how to cut our wedding cake when we couldn't find a staff person at our venue to do so - while taking photos of us at the same time! To summarize, she gave us exactly what we wanted, was friendly and efficient, returned photos in very fast (about 4 weeks), and was very professional and calm. We highly recommend her wedding and engagement photography services!

Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

My wife and I worked with Jess over this past year for engagement photos and coverage of our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception). The engagement photos were done in NYC and the wedding was at a venue outside of Philadelphia. It was a true pleasure to work with Jess. She is extremely skilled, knowledgeable, communicative, and prepared. The quality of the work in her portfolio speaks for itself but I cannot overstate how thrilled my partner and I are with the photos. She managed to capture so many lovely moments and the spirit of the day. The intimacy and beauty she brings out with her portraits are astounding—I have never felt more comfortable being in front of a camera and I have never loved the result so much. The variety of the media brings a beauty to the detail I didn’t think I would care about—the place settings, the venue, and everything else look great and are considered in composition and lighting. None of the photos delivered are there just to check a box. The amount of preparation and work she puts in for each job is evident just by the uniquely specific nature of her questionnaire—her questions were helpful for us in planning! She was always quick to email us back when we had questions for her and helpful in ways we never would have expected—good news if you don’t know how to pin a boutonniere, Jess does (and she brought extra pins). The amount of choices for any type of wedding vendor is overwhelming. You would be lucky, as we were, to choose Jess.

Luckily, our planner who is also a photographer, recommended Judson to us. We are so grateful to have Judson be a part of our marriage celebration. The pre-planning was very thorough and thoughtful, and she made sure she got all of the information she needed in ahead of time. She came well prepared, was able to wrangle our families who met for the very first time that evening, and made us feel very comfortable and at ease during out portrait session.

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 am getting married back home in Iowa and was originally only going to use CityLux for engagement photos, however, it was such an incredible experience we are going to use them for our wedding next year. I can’t imagine having anyone else shoot our wedding. I felt so comfortable and she was able to truly capture the love in our relationship in photos. Attached are some of my favorite photos from our shoot. I would recommend CityLux to everyone for any occasions.

Born and raised in Brooklyn.. one of the best cities in the world. From a young age, I was into Art starting with drawings in my notebook which I eventually end up going to school for Art. When Im not capturing weddings, I like to binge watch Netflix, play video games, go to conventions.. and I love Harry Potter. I've been photographing weddings since 2011 and looking forward to many more decades to come. As a wedding photographer, I believe in the beauty of intimate celebrations and am excited to capture the essence of your love story through my lens.

Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

Hi, I'm Theresa, a wedding photographer inspired by nature's beauty and the stories we all hope to pass down. Along with my amazing team of photographers (plus a videographer!), our work emphasizes natural prompts and real emotions to create incredible imagery that captures the vibrant energy of wedding celebrations. We’re set apart by the fact that we know how to maximize shotlists so our couples can skip the photo marathons and enjoy their own cocktail hour (which is rare, I might add).

Hiring Teresa and her team was the easiest and best decision we made when wedding planning. She was wonderful to work with and from our first Zoom call together I just knew she understood our vision. I am just blown away with how she, Katherine, and Olivia were able to capture so many special moments with our people. She and her team pivoted amazingly well through changing plans due to weather and other minor challenges through out the day. Even with a rainy, windy day we had the best wedding pictures I’ve ever seen! Each photo shows all of the love that was in the room during our wedding and I am so grateful to be able to relive our day forever thanks to Teresa and her team.

We first met Morayo when we used her as our engagement photographer, she worked with us to adapt and find a new site (twice) when the weather kept ruining our plans. Morayo met us close to our home and did a beautiful rose garden shoot with us. Then when the pandemic hit she was reassuring and flexible throughout our ever changing planning process. While we had to cancel our reception and had a smaller ceremony instead, Morayo was still able to capture our getting ready photos, ceremony and formal photos perfectly. Morayo was so fun to work with and really helped us relax in front of the camera. We loved working with Morayo and would recommend her to anyone planning a wedding, especially in these crazy times!

I’m a New Hampshire wedding photographer, who specializes in candid, natural wedding photography, serving all of New England for over fifteen years. Almost all of my couples come to me saying that they feel weird in front of the camera and worried about how their photos will turn out. But of course they want those gorgeous, Pinterest-worthy shots! My laid-back attitude will help put you at ease, helping your true personalities shine through (with simple and fun guidance for the posed photos). And my quiet and calm nature makes it easy for me to blend into the background, to get tons of candid photos that you will make you laugh and cry.

Working with Brett was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We were looking for casual candids and photos that looked effortless, something we thought we would be difficult to achieve because we are “unphotogenic”. Not only did Brett go above and beyond, we were absolutely astounded by how incredible our photos came out. Previews came the next day and throughout the week after our wedding and we were speechless! Everyone loved our photos, but multiple family members mentioned that the collection perfectly reflected the vibe of the day and setting. We will cherish our wedding photos forever - thank you Brett!!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

Prior to the wedding day, she communicated openly with me about everything and made sure I was ready to go. She provided me with example timelines to help plan my day which was extremely helpful!!! Before heading to my location, she had messaged me and asked if I needed anything before she arrived. Once Mariah had gotten there, she calmed my nerves, reassured me when my anxiety was heightened during the chaos, and communicated with me about every thing I needed. She captured my day perfectly.

Kate's ability to capture candid moments of pure joy between ourselves, our family, friends, NYYC members and vendors, will never cease to amaze us as we reflect on our day.

Why, hello there. I'm the creative behind the lens. I am a Canadian who pursued his true love, got married and found himself in the United States. It turns out, it can take some time to receive permanent residency, which led me to pick up a camera and fall in love with the art.

Zhaun is absolutely fantastic. He's professional, easygoing, and SO SO talented. We couldn't be happier with how our engagement and wedding shots turned out. We highly highly HIGHLY recommend, especially if you want to be left speechless by your photos!

I'm Garret, and I want to help tell your story. Since my first photo class in college, I've been hooked. I found myself bringing my camera everywhere, but I wanted to do more. I started working with a professional wedding photographer and discovered that I loved the chaos, emotions, and opportunities that a wedding day presents. That was probably one of the best decisions I've ever made. Hundreds of weddings later, I'm still enjoying what I do as much as I did when I first started, perhaps even more. Knowing that I can provide people with daily reminders of the happiest day of their lives truly makes me love what I do.

Garret is a wonderful human and beyond talented photographer. He became our best friend throughout the process of the wedding and remained calm, directed well, and sent sneak peaks that blew us away. His style felt candid, warm, authentic, gorgeous, and raw. I couldn’t think of a better vendor to recommend to book, you will NOT be disappointed. What a gem

The ordinary can easily become the extraordinary, simply by willing it so. At the end of the day, your wedding photos should be no different. Because you are beautiful in your own special way. And who makes the rules? You do. And should you invite me to be a part of your most amazing day ever, I promise to show you only the most fun, amazing photos that’ll showcase the fun-loving and free spirits of two crazy-in-love individuals (and knock everyone’s socks off too). So be yourself. You can laugh, cry, or shout silly things if you want to. It’ll feel awesome, promise. The only rule is that there are no rules. Now let’s go have some fun :).

Karis Lau is an amazing photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for high quality photographs for their wedding. She is one of the most artistic photographers we have ever worked with!

WE'LL BE A GREAT FIT IF... You want documentary style photos or videos that capture those unscripted moments shared with the ones you hold closest to your heart. | You want a photographer and videographer that makes you feel confident, at ease, and thrilled to be in front of the camera | You want a simple and fun day full of celebrating with your friends and family, not spending hours away taking portraits. | You want your photos and video to focus on the things most important to you, especially documenting your friends and family. | You're madly love and want authentic and real photos and videos to look back on.

Sof and Tim were amazing to work with! They were communicative, creative, and friendly and made us feel at ease even though neither of us are super comfortable with being photographed. The pictures and video turned out beautiful. We couldn't have found a better vendor, and we're so thankful for their work!

Dave has photographed the weddings of notables like Christina Hendricks, Ellie Kemper and Piper Perabo, who sought him out for his one-of-a-kind brand of visual storytelling. Renowned for unique ability in finding beautiful nuance, Dave is one of the most sought after wedding photographers in the world. Passionate about his craft yet relaxed in his approach, Dave prides himself in his innate ability to put clients at ease. "When a subject is totally comfortable, they feel free to be themselves. What results from this is the beauty of authenticity".

Dave Robbins is an excellent photographer and, more importantly, an absolute pleasure to work with. We wanted to take photos walking around New York City, and even though it was raining, Dave was a total champ about it and took amazing pictures. We were also looking for a photographer whose photos weren't muted and instead "popped," and this was definitely the case with Dave's pictures. Dave also captured our joy and spirit on such a happy day, and we had so much fun working with him. We couldn't recommend Dave highly enough.

The Leighton Co. is a husband and wife photography and filmmaking team documenting stories of love and life through intentional, modern, and genuine imagery. We believe that when the day isn't solely focused around the photos and video, then THAT is when you get the best footage.

I highly recommend Becca and Scott. I sent in an inquiry form, and soon after Becca scheduled a call for us to discuss what we envisioned for our wedding day and to tell us about their different packages. We were not certain that we wanted a videographer, but Becca and Scott helped to guide us to make the best choice for us. Leading up to our wedding day, Becca was great about communicating with us. And best of all she created a day of timeline for us! I was so stressed about the timing of the day, but once I saw her suggested timeline, I knew it would work out great. On the day of our wedding, both Becca and Scott were awesome. They were supportive and kind, making sure that we were comfortable and able to be where we wanted to. We never felt awkward or like we were “forcing it” for the cameras. Post wedding, Becca and Scott were again great about communicating with us about when they would deliver our finalized photos and video. Both our engagement and wedding photos/ videos are beautiful. The Leighton Co has a timeless style that we love, and they do a great job of capturing you and your day as it is. It is very obvious how much hard work they put in, and how dedicated they are to the couples they work with. I know that we will look back at our pictures and videos for many years and instantly remember how loved we felt that day.

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

Yaritza was amazing to work with! She was the best we could have asked for. So nice and considerate and just perfect for our wedding!
