Tati And Roman

5.0

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Central Islip, NY

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! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
We LOVED having Tati and Roman as part of our big day and we appreciated their support, thoughtfulness, and positive energy leading up to and through the day! They were incredibly professional and responsive throughout the booking and planning process, responding immediately to our initial inquiry and even following up with us to confirm that we were still interested before we had a chance to respond when they received an inquiry from another couple for our wedding date. Once we booked, the communication and coordination leading up to the day was seamless and supportive. Tati and Roman were incredible to work with. They brought an amazing energy and warmth to the day, which made taking pictures fun, even though both of us are a bit camera-shy! The photos, which we’ve been cherishing and sharing with family and friends, are absolutely spectacular! Not only do they capture the two of us in special ways, they capture details of the wedding and people's reactions and more that we missed in all the activity of the day. We couldn't be happier with them :)

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

Working with Duet was one of the best decisions we made throughout our wedding planning process. From the first meeting, to the wedding day the team was responsive, helpful and knowledgeable about the entire planning process. Hanel in the office made scheduling every meeting, engagement shoot and our day of schedule a breeze and I felt like we didn't need to stress ANY of it! Our photographer was Mike for our engagement shoot AND on our wedding day and it truly felt like a friend was joining us on our special day. The team was so professional on the big day and they truly blended in to the background, making for some great candid photos. The photos we received back were beyond gorgeous and we are so grateful for our photography/videography choice. We loved the documentary style of our photos and we felt that we could really enjoy our day without needed to stop and pause frequently for staged photos. Best choice and truly one of our favorite wedding vendors.

We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away. Shawn was very professional, very informative, he listened to what we have to say and want and he followed our vision to a tee. From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made us feel very comfortable and we were at ease with nothing to worry on our wedding day. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, the pictures were spectacular; we had filmed a short video that introduced our love story , that was also amazing, and even though it was raining that day this video reflects Shawn's creativity, he really captured us, our goofiness, our happiness and all. This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for. I am 1000% satisfied, I will definitely use him again and would Highly recommend his services.

Coram, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

My name is, yensy marquez Born in the Dominican Republic where I spent my early childhood before moving to the United States at the age of 5. I have always had love for the arts and music. I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very beginning it was a pleasure dealing with yensy. He was thoughtful, insightful and full of ideas. He came early for the wedding day, and took fantastic photos. He delivered beautiful previews the day after and we were absolutely in love with them. Would definitely recommend him.

Sayville, NY

I grew up in Lindenhurst, New York and had my first photography exhibit at the Lindenhurst Library. When I was in High School, my father worked for the airlines, so I got to travel the world taking pictures. I displayed them at the library and was hooked. I’ve been a professional wedding and portrait photographer since 1985.

My husband and I worked with Park Ave Studio for our photos as a part of our wedding package. Our photographer, Erica, was great! She got great shots of our guests and also took beautiful formal and artistic shots of us and our wedding party. We got over 30 teasers within a week of our wedding and then 1300 photos a few weeks later. The turnaround was impressive and the quality was great. The photographers are also really familiar with the venues they typically work with, which is a bonus in that they know all the good shots to take

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

I cannot say enough good things about Mike. I’ve known for years I wanted him as my photographer and was so happy he was available on my wedding day. Easy to work with, flexible and extremely helpful. Pictures are stunning. I’m so grateful he was my photographer.

Our relationship is the driving force behind our work and lives. In the past we have worked with some of New York's leading wedding studios. During this time we felt something was missing. Let the couples be who they are in the most 'vero' way possible. We want our couples to tell us their story. To share with us their most authentic moments. We are so happy that our work has brought you here and more than anything else, hope it makes you feel something. We firmly believe that when it comes to picking a studio for your special day it needs to be a right fit for you.

We are so happy with our decision to work with Steph and Dhruv for our engagement and wedding photos and video! They took so much care in all of the details you can imagine. And a huge shoutout to Steph for making me comfortable in front of a camera, where usually I shy away. The finished products are absolutely fantastic, and we could not be happier with the quality and beauty of the photos and video we have from our day. Another shoutout to Dhruv for being so down to take an amazing video of my wife playing the drums at the wedding. Steph and Dhruv both are truly amazing and talented and have such a great vision for their work. Thank you guys so much!

I never lose sight of the happy couple in the big crowd. Authentic meets relaxed and intimate, yet captures all the feels. I ONLY shoot couples and weddings. I believe in the phrase " do one thing, and do it really well"

My husband and I were so honored to have Elise as our photographer for our wedding. From our initial phone conversation, we immediately had such a good feeling about her and her work. Elise quickly proved that we had made the right choice and she far exceeded our expectations. Considering that we had our wedding during the pandemic, Elise helped to do what she could to make us comfortable the whole way through. She made the day considerably less stressful than it could have been and we will be forever grateful. She walked us through every step of the process and was eager to scope out the venue beforehand to get us the best possible shots. Elise was able to candidly capture the most precious moments of us and our families. The turnaround was very quick and we were so delighted with the results! Working with her was such a pleasure and I will continue to recommend her for any photo-worthy event.

I’ve always been a sun chaser, edit all nighter, “Look at the sky” type of person! Photoshoots can seem scary. I can assure you’ll feel comfortable with me being your photographer once I fill you in on a few things about me. Yes, I’m a dog person, my dog is my soul sister. Forget high heels, I’d rather be barefoot. Cozy wine nights over clubbing. Forever not a morning person. Bubble baths and Netflix. Tacos for dinner..again. Sweatpants all winter. Full of dad jokes. Sundays are for Shameless. I’m on the creative right side of the brain, laughing at everything gal!

Monica, I ADORE YOU!!! I have totally made a forever friend in Monica. My husband really loved all of our vendors, but he keeps asking about Monica even now. LOL!! (He knows we talk on insta) She is just awesome. She really tailored to our requests of candid photos rather than removing us from our wedding for photos. She was everywhere throughout the night and truly captured it all. She is such a joy to be around, and you can truly tell she loves what she does. I feel like she was a guest having fun! And I hope she was! Can not wait to use Monica for all of my future photoshoots.

We started out as a team of street photographers roaming NYC on a daily/nightly basis with a goal of making a name for ourselves. Christopher George photography was created due to the fact that during lockdown, people still requested photographers for small, social distanced, backyard weddings and we filled that niche. Having done a few of these weddings, we decided this was the route that we wanted to take our photography journey. Today, we are in our first full year of wedding photography and have secured a small amount for the year but are anxious to create more memories for happy couples. We capture FOREVER moments...

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.

If you're looking for a photographer who deeply understands wedding photography (especially in NYC), prepares and actually listens to her clients' wants/needs, collaborates and shares the best ideas, and shoots high-quality, artistic content with a palpable sense of joy, then Bailey Q is your person. My partner and I knew she was the right person for us when we saw how natural and intimate her wedding portraits were. This is what we had in mind for our City Hall elopement in Brooklyn. We sealed the deal after having a live conversation with her and sensing her genuine care and passion for this craft. She asked such great questions and helped us flesh out our ideas. We were absolutely blown away by how she prepared us for our wedding day: sample photography timelines, helpful questionnaires, check-ins to ensure we were on the same page—and none of it overwhelming or invasive. When we needed to change course, she adapted immediately and knew exactly how to help us. The day-of, she communicated super well, showed up early, captured EVERY gorgeous detail of our ceremony and attire, made our guests feel confident and at ease, and created an environment that felt legitimately fun and alive. I never felt like the camera led the way. Bailey found a way to "disappear" and let our intimacy, tears, happiness, and love take center stage. When it was time for her to coach us through couple's and family portraits, her guidance was never contrived. We always felt present and like us. Despite how effortless Bailey made everything look, she captured everything and at a quality I've never seen in previous photoshoots. Her "sneak peek" gallery included over 200 photos that were ALL incredible. Every. Single. Photo. I really can't recommend Bailey enough! She's truly an artist and also an authentic, kind, wonderful human.

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

Christopher does excellent work! Very responsive by email and phone, takes a lot of time to learn about his clients, which adds a very personal touch. On the day of, Christopher did a wonderful job at directing the shoots. His assistant was excellent also. While they took many beautiful photos throughout the day without interrupting the flow, they were also very receptive to requests. Christopher even captured so many details we weren't expecting, but they were such a nice touch to the photo collection. 10/10 would recommend. The engagement mini-photoshoot was also a lot of fun!

I could not be happier the I hired Thalia Photography for my wedding day. Thalia is truly amazing at what she does. Not to mention she is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. I was so scared picking a photographer. I had a hard time finding a photographer in my budget. thalia was one of the few who was closest to it, and still she worked with me on pricing which i was so grateful for. The options are endless out there, but as soon as i came across thalia’s page I knew I had to have her for my big day. Her photography style is gorgeous and she the process so easy from the moment I contacted her. She was quick to reply and really got to know us. She asked us to fill out a survey and we made sure we were a right fit for each other. I think thats super important and not all vendors do this. I am so not a photo person and neither is my husband, so we wanted someone who was okay with that and also could make us feel comfortable. From day one she did just that. She is such a professional but also has a comforting homey feel to her. I feel as if I have known her for so long. She fit right in with my bridal party from our stupid movie quotes to the music we played all day. It was honestly like having another friend in the bridal suite with us. My wedding was at a country club and i really did not want it to look like we were on a golf course and wow did she deliver. she was able to edit out every golfer in sight and let me tell you there were a lot that day. Once we got the photos, I was even more amazed by her. I am obsessed and have not stopped looking at them since i received them. If you are looking for an amazing photographer, look no further. Thalia basically does it all and im sure i will be using her in the future!

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. 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).

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a vision of what I wanted my engagement pictures to look like, a non traditional, fun-loving shoot. Chrysa absolutely did EVERYTHING and more to make the experience fun, easy, and turn out better than I could’ve ever imagined! She did her research beforehand, found the best location, played amazing music, and had us feeling comfortable in front of the camera… & on top of all that - she got the photo’s back to us so quickly! I would 10/10 recommend her to all my friends/ family, & I’ll be using her for more pictures in the future!

Ali was awesome to work with. Let me start by acknowledging that a Wedding day as I learned is filled with so many uncontrollables and Ali helped us to relieve stress in whatever ways she could. She helped our flowers girl get ready and travel from Bridal Suite to Groom suite. She helped with hair challenges and even noticed I was having a dress malfunction and came to help me fix it so I could continue to enjoy my evening. She did all of this while still taking amazing photos. She was communicative from the beginning, professional and started before time by scouting out spaces for us to take amazing photos. We loved working with her and would chose her over and again!!!

hey you! thanks for dropping by. my name is shelby, and i am a queer artist and manhattan based photographer who specializes in weddings + equine portraiture. my priority as a photographer is developing a personal relationship with each and every one of my clients (two or four legged). your special moments are their most pure when you are comfortable and ready to just have fun, and i am here to create that joyful space.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby Phillips impressed me from the start. Before reaching out to her via email in the summer of 2018, I took some time to learn about her. From her personal blog, I learned that she is a graduate of NYU, that she loves photographing horses, that she is also an actor and a writer, and that she has a passion for bringing moments to life through photography. From looking at her curated selection of photographs on her website, I quickly learned that she cares about the minor gestures, the subtleties of a moment, and the play of light. At the time I found her (in 2018), I believe wedding photography was not her main focus; it seemed that she photographed more four-legged animals than did two-legged ones. I personally did not mind this one bit; rather, I found her versatility as a photographer to be a source of strength. If she could capture emotion and beauty without outward displays of emotions and beauty, then that speaks to her craft as an artist. I found her gentle and personal touch to photography to resonate deeply with me, and I also appreciated how she wrote about her life experiences in her blog. Here was a passionate young woman who not only observes the world with her eyes, but also attunes to it with her heart fully open. There was so much feeling evoked in both her writing and her photographs. There was so much vibrancy in her black-and-white captures. I was immediately hooked. I dedicate a whole blog post to Shelby here: https://www.booksmartstreetsmart.com/blog/2019/an-intimate-wedding-my-search-for-a-local-new-york-city-wedding-photographer Here's another snipped from my experience working with Shelby: The 5-minute walk to the wedding venue felt like eternity (in a good way!). I opted for an impractically long train for my wedding dress (I’m old-fashioned at heart!) so my younger sister dedicatedly carried it as I walked ahead of her. There were many stares from strangers along the way, but honestly, I did not pay attention because I was so focused on taking small steps so that I would not trip, or worse, get my heels stuck between the cracks in the sidewalk. It was past 5pm and the sun was blazing hot, but because we were situated right by the water, there was an occasional gentle breeze. Shelby was particularly excited about the wind, because it paved the way for some truly magnificent “action shots.” As I slowly made my way to the venue with my sister directly behind me, and my mother and soon-to-be mother-in-law next to us, Shelby was quick on her feet, capturing the magic in the small moments, while playing with the light. As I look back on the photographs that she took of that day, I am amazed by how she chased the light throughout the day and into the evening, how she beautifully brought life into still photographs, and how she managed to capture all our family and friends in a way that reflects each person’s personality. Today, when I visit Shelby’s website, I immediately notice that it has grown substantially. Since I signed my wedding photography contract, Shelby has taken on many other weddings, bringing life to a blank canvas by means of her camera lens, coupled with her eye for precious moments. I am so pleased to know that she is doing well, and that her dedication to her craft has paid off. PS. It is now 2021 and Shelby and I are still in touch! :) Thank you Shelby <3

My heart burns with a fierce and undeniable love for photography. It's a passion that runs deep, rooted in the belief that every image has the power to speak to the soul and evoke emotions that can't be put into words. My love for capturing moments behind the lens encompasses all aspects of life. It's these moments of raw and genuine connection that ignite my soul and drive my creativity. Because to me, a photograph is not just about being aesthetically pleasing or technically perfect. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotions that can't be replicated, and the stories waiting to be told.

"I can go on and on about the beautiful images that Dominque captured on my special day. The passion, love and effort she puts into her work; the talent that is evident in each photo she takes; her ability to capture moments (small and big)...the list could go on and on. I want to focus on what made working with Dominique so special to me. She is real. She is goofy. She is present. She is kind. She is fun. She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful and seen. Despite the chaos that is inevitable (atleast for me) on my very special day, she managed to remain focused on the joy in my friends and families faces, on the little kids frolicking down the grassy aisle, on the energy that exploded on the dance floor and most importantly on the true love that she captured in each photo with me and my husband. One of my best friends and bridesmaids said it best, 'she clearly knows what she is doing', just see for yourself. These pictures feel timeless and my gratitude to her is endless. So much love for her."

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!!

J is truly incredible to work with! He immediately made me feel comfortable and wasn’t “pushy” when I was deciding on photographers. We picked him because 1.) his photography is seriously amazing, and 2.) he is a genuinely wonderful guy, and I knew he would put me at ease throughout the day. His rates are also very reasonable and there are no “hidden” fees. I really liked that he was with us the ENTIRE day too! We just got our wedding photos back (SUPER FAST TURNAROUND) and I am completely in love! I don’t even have the words to describe how incredible they are. He captured so many moments that I didn’t even know happened, and now we have hundreds of photos of people laughing and crying throughout the day that I wouldn’t have ever seen if he wasn’t there! We wanted someone that was artistic and didn’t just take the “stereotypical” wedding photos, and he exceeded our expectations. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and took the time to thoroughly answer every single question I had. He was even helpful during the wedding day with things not entirely photographer related, like helping me find something I lost at one point and exuding a “chill” vibe that definitely calmed everyone down! My entire family adored him, and we are already thinking of new events in life that we will hire J for! I am SO thankful he was with us for our engagement photos and wedding day, and I cannot recommend him enough!

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.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out.

Awarded Best of Zola
Shelby is by far one of our favorite vendors we have worked with!! When we first started looking for a photographer for our wedding, her work stood out to us immediately. It was natural and happy, but also beautiful! She captured candid moments that represented the day and the couples themselves. When we had our first meeting with her to see if she was someone we wanted to work with, she suggested a different time for the wedding to make sure we had daylight photos for our December wedding and gave us an overall timeline. She was easy to talk to and incredibly receptive to any ideas we had. We knew right away we wanted to book with her! My husband and I can be extremely awkward when taking photos. We get self-conscious about things and we over think every little thing we are doing. Right away, Shelby made us feel comfortable for our engagement photos and it showed in the gallery we received only a few hours later! Mind you, she also took our photos while holding our 65 lb German Shephard/Lab mixed dog when he wasn't in the photos themselves. Over the year, I posted every single photo and every time I looked at the gallery, we found more and more photos I loved. We then did our Christmas photos with her this past October. This time, I let her do whatever she wanted for our poses. Every single Christmas photo I am literally in love with and we used them all over our rehearsal dinner and wedding, in addition to our engagement photos! She even captured so many sunset photos in the very few minutes we had where the sun peaked from behind the clouds and I still have a hard time not obsessing over them! Then came time for our wedding this past weekend. She arrived early and got right to documenting our day! Shelby walked through rain and down hills to make sure we captured every spot we wanted, and the pier photos she captured are literally a dream! She captured so many candid moments of the wedding party and our family and gave me the opportunity to relive our wedding over and over! She also captured the most perfect photos of our fur baby in his suit, as well as, lightsaber photos for my husband! She went with the flow of the day and made everything so incredibly easy!!! She is the sweetest person you ever met and just made me feel so incredibly comfortable, that it really shows in our photos!! My husband worked with her second shooter and said he fit in perfectly with his boys! She was editing our photos during the reception and had 100 preview photos of the whole day sent to us 12 hours after our wedding ended!!! We even received some right as we were leaving our venue and she shot right until the end of the wedding!! We are so excited to see the rest of our photos and are so thankful to have found her for our forever photographer! If you are looking for an amazing, sweet, patient, creative, and easy going photographer, hire Shelby!! It was the best decision we ever made!!

Andrea was our first choice for a wedding photographer and we were so lucky that she was available to shoot our wedding. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed, artistic style that’s both modern and timeless, and Andrea’s vibe aligned exactly with what we were seeking. Her eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is an absolute joy to work with. Andrea is extremely organized, kind, and creative.

Chrissy and her assistant Lisa were PHENOMENAL. There was tons of communication leading up to our wedding, so Chrissy couldn't have been more organized with who/what/when/where we wanted photos. Chrissy made us feel so comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day because she's so friendly and funny, and she didn't pressure us to do "pose-y" things. The sneak-peek photos came SO quickly, and the rest came shortly after, which we were soooo surprised by. I can't recommend Chrissy Bayless enough.

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.

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 :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

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 absolutely covered every single little detail of our wedding. It was great to see things we didn't even catch as the day went by. He assured us every step of the way. He caught all the candids we could have ever wanted and posed us like a pro when necessary.

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

We highly recommend JENNY for any photo needs. She’s amazingly detailed and makes you feel like she’s your best friend. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot and she made it a breeze! 15/10 would recommend!

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.

I am a documentary-style photographer with a passion for visual storytelling. With my fly-on-the-wall approach, your images will be an authentic, honest reflection of your love. When you look back at your photos, I want you to remember the laughs, the tears, and the moments spent with your beloveds - rather than having your photo taken. It is my joy and honor to capture this momentous day of your lives. If my style aligns with what you are looking for in a wedding photographer, let's connect and create magic together!

I can't say enough good things about Mary. She had such a great energy about her during the entire wedding day. She kept me calm and distracted when things went a lil awry Mary was able to make me smile and got beautiful photos. Best decision was to hire her. Not only were the photos so amazing the turn around to getting the photos was super quick. Hire her! She even ran up and down the streets of downtown LA to get some really cool photos."

I've been an elopement and intimate wedding photographer for the last 12 years and have been honored to capture hundreds of couples in love. I'm fortunate enough to capture elopements and destination wedding all around the world, but have a home base in Savannah, GA and New York, New York and bounce around the east coast capturing love stories. Here's what you can expect from me: I’ll guide you through the entire process from start to finish, help you plan a day that feels like you and your partner, and give you tangible memories that make your heart skip a beat. I'm quirky, quick with a joke, and turn my couples into dear friends!

I don’t even know where to begin. Karen is an absolute gem. Our elopement was a bit tricky as we had to move to a different state for my husbands job- causing us to start from scratch. But Karen didn’t miss a beat. She researched and sent us a list of so many wonderful locations which ultimately led us to picking our dream spot. We never felt overwhelmingly stressed during this process as Karen was always there to assist us in anything! She called our venue for details, sent me ideas and inspiration, purchased a pop up tent just so I could change into my gown in the middle of the desert! She is a rockstar! You can truly see her passion through her beautiful work, she makes you feel so at ease and comfortable! If you have a few moments to spare, I would so appreciate it!

Awarded Best of Zola
They are the sweetest folks to work with. We had always wanted a video package but could not find an affordable option. Billy and Miss Cheryl did BOTH! We got photos and videos for two days and they even live streamed our wedding to our family overseas. Billy's photos are insane gorgeous and Cheryl's video captured everything we had dreamed of. I highly recommend them to everyoone wanting a amazing wedding.

Growing up, I wanted to be a writer. I never imagined I would use photography to help tell stories. You and your partner are already writing the story of your love. I have the honor to help tell that story through photography. We are here to celebrate the story of who you were, who you are, and who you are becoming in every shape, size, skin complexion, religion, ability, and orientation.

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an in state destination wedding and Ty was very prompt at finding beautiful outdoor locations. His ease with creativity and keen eye for detail made for the most perfect wedding photos that we will be able to forever cherish. Ty’s natural creativity, professionalism, organization, and energetic nature made for a fun, enjoyable, stress free wedding day.

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!
