  • Serves Staten Island, NY

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

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn was such a pleasure to work with. It is so obvious how incredibly talented she is, yet she still totally blew us away. From the start, the way she kept in touch with us along the way with planning, the conversations she led about style and important pictures all helped us feel totally confident and non-stressed about this part of the planning. On the day of she was such a calming force, omnipresent and intuitive to the kinds of things we were trying to do. From the ratios of shot kinds, the mix of guest photos where everyone had pics without an over emphasis on any one group… she was truly fantastic and wonderful and amazing. We are so grateful for her presence and work around our special day. The pictures came out so beautifully, came so quickly and have been getting nonstop compliments from family and friends. We will treasure these forever.

Bailey Q Photo

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,450
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

Hey there, my name is Bailey! I am an artist, business woman, wifey, nerd, Brooklyn-ite, and matcha fiend who’s endlessly curious about the world around me. I strive to make the world better by capturing love authentically, spreading positivity & happiness, and supporting organizations that are doing the work to preserve our planet & enrich the lives of marginalized communities. With my whole heart, I unapologetically embrace inclusivity & all forms of love.

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't think I could ever possibly say enough positive things about Bailey or recommend her more strongly. Her work is gorgeous, and I couldn't find anybody whose work I liked nearly as much when I was searching for a photographer. Bailey made every part of the planning process easy, straightforward, and actually fun. She was ready to answer any questions I had--down to helping me pick out outfits for the engagement shoot! On the day of our wedding, Bailey made EVERYONE feel at ease and excited to take photos. Normally I think group photos can kind of drag on, but Bailey made it feel like part of the festivities. All night guests were coming up to tell me how cool and fun my photographer was, I loved that. It meant she was really getting to know the guests and taking time to take photos of everyone we cared about. During cocktail hour, Bailey took us to sneak away for couples' sunset photos, which are extremely beautiful. It was such a special part of the night to get that time to ourselves before rejoining our loved ones for the reception. When we got our photos back I really felt like it gave me a chance to relive parts of the best day of my life. It made me SO emotional to go through and see all of the photos Bailey had taken of us, our family, and our friends. All of the candids and cocktail hour photos really let me see the day from a different perspective, and it was so fun to see what other people were up to at our wedding! Overall, I honestly don't have enough wonderful things to say about Bailey. Bailey treats photography for the day with the same care, attention, and enthusiasm as her clients. I trusted her with the process the entire time, and I loved knowing that she was invested in not only getting the best possible photos of the day, but also getting photos that really reflected who we are as a couple. THANK you.

Christopher Duggan Photography

Bronx, NY

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
Christopher and team were a dream to work with!! They did both photo and video for my husband and me for our wedding on 10/29. Not only was Christopher extremely responsive during our planning process - always quick to jump on a call or send an email response to help us with any questions we had - he worked with us to make all of our visions come true. On the day of, his team was not only early, but they also came enthusiastic and ready to go. They scoped out spots to shoot at ahead of time since they had not been to the venue before, and they made all of the portraits fun and easy, we even finished them ahead of schedule. They were not invasive or pushy in their process, but instead gave suggestions and helpful directions to make our pictures turn out beautifully without putting too much pressure on us to do things out of our comfort zones. During the party, it was as if they weren't there. We could see from cell phone footage after the fact that they were always around us snapping tons of pics and capturing video, but as far as we were concerned, they were out of our faces and letting us enjoy the party which was a huge priority for us. I cannot thank them enough for making our day stress free and adding to the fun. HIRE THEM!!!!!!!

Justin McCallum Photography

5.0

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

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

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I love movies. A lot. So much so that we're on a first name basis with the staff of our local multiplex. When we got engaged we knew we wanted to have our pictures taken at the theater. It seemed like a crazy idea and Justin jumped at the chance. He came to the shoot filled with ideas and a contagious enthusiasm. Even before we got the amazing pictures we knew we wanted to hire him for our wedding day. The photos from the engagement shoot made us even more excited for our wedding, if only to see what Justin would do! On the day of the wedding he made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. He worked with our wedding planner and videographer to make sure everything went buttery smooth so we could be completely stress free. Our friends and family loved him too! He managed to make what by all accounts should have been an uncomfortable few hours and turn it into a genuinely fun experience for everyone involved. The wedding party had a blast goofing around and posing together. In addition to his great eye for staging Justin has a way of capturing moments of beauty you didn't even know were there. Blink-and-you-miss-them moments like the belly laugh after a joke, the joy of dancing with old friends, and the most meaningful of shared glances. He managed to bottle the full range of emotions of our day and lay them out in stunning detail so we can relive it over and over again. Not only is Justin McCallum a phenomenal photographer, he's also a passionate lovely person who is a joy to be around as well as work with.

Steph Smith Photo

5.0

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Staten Island, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
So first I should say—the photos are gorgeous. Steph did an amazing job capturing the experience of the day (which is exactly what I wanted) and made sure to get photos of everyone I had specially mentioned. Multiple people stopped me during my wedding to tell me what a good job she was doing. If you want photos that look like YOUR wedding instead of everyone else's, book Steph. But I want to also say, it's not an understatement that we could not have pulled off our wedding without Steph. We had to massively shift our wedding plans the morning of our ceremony due to severe weather. Steph helped us find new locations for family photos, helped us figure out the best lighting in our new ceremony location, and so much more. Despite our stress levels, getting our photos taken one ended up being a true highlight of the day. Steph radiated calm and infectiously fun energy throughout the whole experience. I was confident the photos would be great—and they really, really are—but the level of care Steph put into helping make the WHOLE experience special was truly incredible.

Hi, I'm Celeste, I'm from a small town in Spain. Now leaving in NY. I have spent the last seven years getting to know new humans and documenting their stories and connections. How they got into that point of their life, and what makes them light up. I feel it is quite a responsibility and a significant honor to be able to create this legacy for them.

My husband and I could not recommend Celeste and her team more! She made our wedding day truly fantastic and we wouldn't have wanted any other photographer there. She met with us several times to plan out how we wanted our day to go, she was on time and stuck to the schedule, and went practically unnoticed the whole day while capturing the best photos. She's kind, thoughtful, and an absolute pleasure - we'll be hiring her to capture all our big life milestones.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

I have told everyone I know that the decision to marry my husband was the first best decision I made and hiring Michelle as our wedding photographer was the second best!! She is hands down the most amazing and talented person to work with on your wedding day! From the very first Email Michelle makes you feel like you guys have been friends for years! She is so down to earth and instantly makes you feel comfortable whether its through email, FaceTime or over the phone she makes it known that she is there for you the entire planning process. Michelle answers every single email almost instantly and no question is ever a dumb question. She will walk you through every single minute of your wedding day to make sure things run smoothly and so you have nothing to worry about the day of, and she even calls the shots when it comes to getting the family in order for family pictures. My biggest concern when looking for a photographer was how I always felt my husband and I weren’t the most photogenic people and we aren’t comfortable in front of the camera and boy was I wrong. Michelle not only captured some of the most beautiful pictures of us together but she captured the pure love we share and feel for each other. Michelle got the pictures back to us so quick and she keeps you in the loop the entire time. If you are on the fence about a wedding photographer do yourself a favor and email her!!!!!

I'm a visual person, and knew that, especially a few drinks in, the photos would be a big part of how I remembered our special day. When I came across Lindsey's photos, I knew she was the one! Her photos stood out to me among the warm-toned, softly edited photos I saw a lot of online. I loved how unique a lot of the weddings she featured looked, and everyone just looked like they were having so much fun -- and that's exactly how I wanted our wedding to feel: fun! She quickly responded to my inquiry and in the first zoom call she was incredibly informative, super friendly, and I could tell that we'd be a great fit! She walked us through all of the logistics, the pricing, etc., and there were never any surprises. Beyond taking stellar photos, what we loved was how helpful she was along the way. We've never planned a wedding before, but she's photographed so many! So her suggestions and reassurance along the way in terms of the wedding timeline, logistics, even offering to connect us with an officiant (though we ended up going with our friend), and everything was really reassuring! On the day of the wedding, she arrived promptly, and let us get ready and do our thing while she scouted out locations to take photos later. We never had to worry about a thing the day of. She was very flexible and able to adapt when we went slightly behind schedule, and did a great job making us feel really comfortable! Her second photographer, Brian, was also fantastic and made my husband and his friends feel really comfortable taking photos; and I think they both helped him feel extra confident before the ceremony. I think what you'll see from the photos I'm posting here is how much fun we had, and she was there to capture (and encourage) it all. I love how organic all of the photos feel, and she really caught the essence of how fun of a day it was. & she got some great personality photos of all of us-- and we love that there are some "less then perfect" photos in there too. We also loved that her and Brian both joined the party and danced all night with us! Not only did they bring the party, I think that made people feel even more comfortable in front of the camera and we have some true gems for the album. Everyone has complimented how amazing our photos are, it's one of the first things people say when I show them the photos, and it even convinced many of our friends/family that paying up for a high quality photographer really makes all the difference and is worth budgeting for. All in all, could not recommend Lindsey more for engagement and wedding photography and being an overall great resource for all things wedding in the Boston area.

I would like to take time out to recognize the team over at PSPI Studios. All the wonderful reviews live up to the hype. When I reached out, I spoke with Pavel, who answered my thousand of questions lol and made me feel comfortable. On the day of the wedding, like most brides I was nervous about all the vendors arriving on time but the PSPI team arrived EARLY! They even helped my husband and the guys put on their cufflinks and other accessories. They were professional and made sure they caught every shot! My pictures and video are beautiful. It gave me the feels all over again. I will be recommending to all my family and friends. I hope to work with them for all my future events! Don’t wait, book them now :)

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Kathryn was so great to work with! I am overly easy-going and did not have a clear idea of what I wanted for photos for my engagement and wedding, but once I saw Kathryn's photos from other events I was sure I wanted her! Her photos show so much personality and are so vibrant, she gave me a sneak peak of the wedding photos just days after the wedding and it got me so excited to see the rest and made me 100% sure I chose the right photographer for my 'big day'. She came up to Humboldt County, CA for our engagement shoot and we did an adventure style session, we hiked all around the College Cove forest and beach and she had both my husband and I feeling very comfortable in front of the camera (neither of us usually would be). The photos came out so beautifully and there are so many to chose from and love. Her assistant was also great! My wedding was pretty un-organized but everything came together so perfectly at the end. She was very understanding when my payment had to come in small portions as well because my Zelle app wasn't working properly. Pretty much all I told her was that I wanted 90% candid in the moment photos and just a few family portraits on top of our couple portraits. I was very grateful that all I had to do was give her a few sentences of what I knew I wanted and she gave her all to give me what I wanted and more! I would 100% chose her over and over again to photograph our events!

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's photography is magical! My fiancé and I did an engagement shoot with her in Central Park, and despite the early hours and super hot weather, Hannah was personable, kind, and so much fun to work with! We were so lucky to have been recommended her by a friend, and found that the entire experience was seamless--she knew tons of hidden gems in the park to take us, provided a guide in advance to take the stress out of finding something to wear, and the whole thing flew by so quickly! Within weeks we had the full album of photos and I am STILL in awe at how amazing they turned out! We can't thank Hannah enough and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for natural, artistic and beautiful photography.

Both my husband and I caught the flu two days prior to our big day and needless to say we were dragging butt the day of. Patricia and her team made the most beautiful memories in spite of our sickness. You cannot even tell either of us were about to die. Lol. She was patient, kind, and understanding. She did everything possible to capture our love on that special day. And, she did! I am so grateful for her and I will forever cherish these memories. We live in San Diego and had to coordinate everything across our great country. This was NOT easy but Patricia made herself available for every question/inquiry, change and/or update that I had. And, she did it with grace. She listened attentively and executed beautifully. She is extremely communicative and easy to talk to. I'm glad we chose her and I'm glad she chose us too.

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding. Celia is absolutely fantastic. She is so accommodating and flexible. She worked with us on pricing and exactly what we wanted for our photos. Her work is unique and classy and so beautiful. For two people who don’t like to have their picture taken, we had an absolute blast with her! We had a weather issue (think tropical storm) and Celia made the effort to come back for our beach photos when the weather was more ideal. I would hire her again in a second.

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 one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked. As soon as we had our introductory call with her, we were hooked! Like many other couples, it was our first time being photographed and we wanted to find someone that would make us feel as comfortable as possible. Kim was warm, genuine and patient with us. She knew exactly what to do and how to get us to open up in front of the camera. Due to the pandemic, when we had to postpone our original wedding date, Kim was extremely accommodating and understanding. And as a stressed out couple whose plans were constantly changing, she was so helpful in offering solutions and suggestions for us. We are forever grateful to Kim for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Although we didn’t hire a videographer, the photos itself told the whole story of our day. Clicking through the pictures, it felt like we were watching a movie. We found so many moments that we didn’t even realize she caught. She happened to be in the right place at the right time. And her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want too many posed photos and wanted something timeless. She allowed us to focus on each other and our photos reflected our honest emotions. She is truly authentic and forms wonderful connections with all of her couples. Kim is more than just a wedding photographer and we would highly recommend her to everyone.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Where to begin? Jaci is the absolute best! Aside from her truly next level incredible talent, she's also a phenomenal human being. We hired Jaci as our wedding photographer in early 2020. When we postponed our original November 2020 wedding date, Jaci was so amazing! She helped us re-book her for our new date and we used the original date to take engagement photos. She had so many ideas & suggestions and we had a blast running around Prospect Park. It was such an amazing and joyful way to commemorate our original date. When we finally got to have our wedding in September 2021, Jaci captured our whole day so beautifully and was also just an amazing energy/presence throughout the day. She worked so beautifully with all of our vendors & was just so helpful in every way. I honestly don't know how she managed to be in every place at once! It took us weeks to go through the photos she sent. Every time we went through the album, we found a brand new gem we missed the first time. I'm pretty sure we still haven't fully discovered every bit of Jaci's magic in those photos! There are so many small moments that I wasn't around for (even the ones I was around for & couldn't remember) and I'm so incredibly grateful to have those photos. The ones of my grandmother looking at the family wedding photos we had on display & realizing that one of them is her's are so perfect that I don't even have words to describe how much they mean to me. Her uncanny ability to capture the candid moments was the reason we initially wanted Jaci to be our photographer but the posed photos are just as incredible. Every single one looks & feels so natural and genuinely captures the emotions of the moment. Jaci is really just the best! That's all there is to say. If you need a photographer for your wedding/engagement/anything, look no further and book Jaci.

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

I absolutely LOVE working with Christian! We first met both Christian and Emilio beforehand after scouting them from the internet & IG while looking for a photography and videography package. From their work and their website altogether, I knew they were the kinds of creative personalities we would want to help us capture our special day as well as the aesthetic we were looking for. The packaged we booked included an engagement shoot where we first got to work with Christian really get to know his fun personality and he got to learn about the kind of photography. Although we originally booked both of them for our wedding in October, there was a scheduling conflict with another couple. Christian was super professional in communicating that to us and getting the additional coverage for our day at the same quality. The turnaround time for the preview, full gallery, and teaser video were exactly as promised- faster than we expected! Christian has been extremely communicative from planning our first meet up last January 2019, to the days leading up to our wedding, through to the editing of the final products. Highly highly highly recommend them and would refer them in a heartbeat!!

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 is not only extremely gifted at her craft as a photographer, but an absolute dream vendor to work with from the perspective of client and venue! Simply put... one of the best!

We are Ryan + Jillian, a husband and wife photography team. We fell into wedding photography after our own wedding when Ryan's best man/cousin Sean passed away. Receiving our wedding photos while helping plan the funeral was the greatest gift we could have ever gotten. At that moment, fully understanding just how fleeting life truly is, that started our love affair with wedding photography. We love how wedding photography does not have to be corny or grossly over staged. It can be candid, genuine, and provide amazing couples with images that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Jill & Ryan are beyond amazing..... between clear communication, quick response, being easy to get along with, and don't forget the KILLER photos, I can not recommend them enough!

I knew I wanted to work with Bryan when I saw how wonderful his imagery was of previous brides. When we met for the first time he made my husband and I so comfortable, making the daunting wedding process so much easier. He met with us multiple times and in doing so learned how my husband and I fell in love. It was really special! For the wedding day, Bryan hustled for 8 hours and made sure I got every image scenario that we had discussed in our initial meetings. He was super calm under pressure and made sure we got our group photos with our loved ones. I would 100% recommend Bryan for any couple! He was a pleasure to work with.

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
My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

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.

From the moment we met Jess, we knew she was our photographer, but not in the way that people say retrospectively. We were so excited after our meeting that we could barely wait until we got home to sign and tell her (we called out of joy) that she was going to be a part of our big day. She knew exactly what questions to ask to help us figure out what we wanted. We spent hours together at our engagement shoot without realizing how much time had passed because she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't recommend her more. When someone loves what they do, they shine, and as a result, you shine. That's what you're getting when you work with her.

It is also worth noting that Carey worked with us through two COVID reschedules, and could not have been more kind and easy to work with.

It was such a joy to have Elana photograph our small intimate wedding. She made us instantly feel comfortable and at ease. She captured so many beautiful moments and we love looking at our pictures. We would absolutely recommend her to any couple who is planning to get married. My partner and I loved having her on our special day.

I found my love for photography in a high school dark room, and I have continued to follow that passion to find myself today working as a hybrid photographer in both Film and Digital. I strive not to just take pictures, but to capture candid emotions and capture them in a beautiful way. My photography is personal and intimate. My approach is a mixture of fine art and documentary, I try to capture your moments and day as it happened but highlighting the special details and taking advantage of the best lighting. As a lover of history I love capturing personal and family histories that surround weddings.

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

I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based right in Baltimore, MD. Originally from Greece. There is nothing that makes me happier than capturing laughter, love, and connections. I believe that everything happens for a reason

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we begin? Margarita is not only an astounding photographer, but a professional in every sense of the word. We met initially for our engagement photos and her guidance throughout the shoot was top notch. Her suggestions for scene and setting were superb. He bedside manner during the process, and her follow up and communication post engagement and leading up to our wedding left little to be desired. Day of, she expertly navigated various groups of people and her direction was powerful. She kept us focused when needed, got us excited when the time came, and throughout the process made us feel comfortable. We wish we could get married again JUST to work with Margarita. If you have yet to conclude your search for a photographer, look no further. We can not recommend her enough and not amount of words or accolades properly capture the mastery she has for her craft. Book her NOW!

She made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we did in Philly, and she knew the best spots to shoot so our pictures came out beautifully. On our wedding day, she traveled all over our location to take pictures - you can tell she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients and her pictures are FANTASTIC. She is amazing and our wedding wouldn't be half as good without her pictures and her help. Thank you Bethany!

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.

Juan goes above and beyond with his work. From the moment he interacts with his clients he has this genuine connection to him. He takes the time to be personal and truly understands his clients needs. He over delivers with his stunning work. Making sure each gallery is hand crafted to perfection for each couple.

He was fun to be around (which is key since you will be together for your entire wedding day), his photos were incredible, and he delivered them SO quickly (I have friends who got married earlier who are still waiting on their photos, and it is so fun to get them back when you are still on the wedding high!). We had a great experience with our engagement session as well. Great guy and great photographer!

Before we even met, Ryan and Tatiana had 10 years experience as wedding photographers, and Ryan had been named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World by the two top industry magazines, American Photo and Rangefinder. We didn't mean to fall in love with the person whose style and experience fit most neatly with each others', but it happened. Now we manage our business and creative passion with our other passion … parenting our Tasmanian Devil of a toddler, Gavin, in our happy place of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

Hire the Brenizers! They are incredibly professional, talented, warm and dedicated. Within days of our wedding, they sent us a sneak peak of highlight photos from our wedding day. Their style is very personal; there is nothing "staged" about their photos. We truly felt like we had made new friends by the end of the day and would gladly work with them again! Strongly recommend.
