Tati And Roman

5.0

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, 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! 🙂

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 :)

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

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

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!

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

I had hired a photographer for budgetary reasons and about two weeks before my wedding panicked because I wanted another style of photography. Anita literally saved the day, thank god she was available! She worked so flexibly with the other photographer, capturing some of my absolute favorite photos of the entire day. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Photojournalistic style

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

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

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

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

Working alongside Debbie was a joy! I was a videographer to a wedding she was photographing. To the couple, Debbie was patient, calm, and professional throughout the day, and helped the couple not only stay at ease during some stressful moments, but also enjoy their wedding day amidst the hiccups. To myself and the other vendors, Debbie was collaborative, creative, and flexible to each of the fellow vendors specific needs for the day. Her photos from the wedding were authentic, timeless, and stunning! I would highly recommend Debbie Gander Photography to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding!

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

The most joyful day of your life is made up of infinite infinitesimal moments. They can be fleeting, yet so incredibly significant. Mom's split-second tear, barely formed, before getting wiped away. That inimitable look in his eyes, the very first time he sees you in your dress. I guarantee you that 100% of my energy will be put forth into capturing them in a way you will absolutely never forget. We promise not to nickel-and-dime you. We promise not to make the day about us.

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

Jenna was amazing to work with from start to finish. Before booking we Zoomed to chat, and after we did we knew she was exactly what we were looking for. After we booked, she would periodically check in on us, and she actually helped us think through details of our wedding that weren’t even related to photography. In the weeks leading up to the wedding, she kept in touch and helped us think through all of the things we wanted to make sure were captured on our wedding day. When our wedding day finally arrived, Jenna brought positive energy and a high level of creativity and artistic vision. She hustled to capture everything we spoke about, and also did a bunch of stunning shots of all the decorative details. After dark she set up lighting to get some super artsy night shots that have become our favorite of the whole event. The day after our wedding, she supplied us with a preview album which was so lovely to see so quickly. A few weeks later we got our full edited gallery and we were completely blown away. Everyone we have shown comments on how stunning the photos are. Jenna is a fantastic photographer and a great person in general. She makes everyone feel at ease while doing something that doesn’t always feel natural (having your picture taken). She will capture your day in a way that is beautiful and authentic, and we couldn’t recommend her more!

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

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

Jessica was a phenomenal photographer! From our initial meeting, she was warm and friendly and we felt very comfortable with her. I was back and forth about where to do our first look and she was super helpful in trying to lock down my dream location and find alternatives. On the day of the wedding, she was on top of making sure everything ran smoothly and we got all of the photos we wanted. The photographer was the first vendor I made sure to book for our wedding as I was looking for a specific style, and Jessica delivered!

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.

We love working with Cappy! She is an incredible story teller. She uses a mix of film and digital cameras to capture weddings in such a beautiful and unique way. Simply the best!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sam June is simply an artist. There is an undeniable coolness with her vibe and an authenticity she brings to her work. From the first phone call, through the delivery of our wedding album, Sam shows a passion for her clients and is genuinely able to connect on a deep level through her photography. We were lucky enough to have her genius to capture our wedding day. We had heavy rain the majority of our October wedding in the Hudson Valley, which Sam navigated beautifully at Red Maple Vineyard. Looking back on the photos has allowed us to remember a joyous day in our lives with our friends and family. Sam's eye catches stunning moments you can marvel at. Our family and guests also commented on how much they appreciated Sam's warm presence. We loved every second we got to spend with Sam and will be forever grateful for all her recommendations and guidance throughout the entire wedding process! We have so much love and gratitude for her.

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

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

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

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

When I don't have a camera in my hands, you can find me obsessing over the Moon, day-dreaming about eating eat ice cream and pizza for every meal, and I will 100% try to fit astrology or quotes from The Office into any conversation (see: "that's what she said").

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

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

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

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

Marilyn and I have been shooting together for over a year, and each wedding with her is better than the last. She is my go-to photographer for reasons too long to list, but for the sake of this review I'll just say: she is talented, experienced, consistent, adaptive, and the perfect blend of taking directions + taking charge. She handles difficult situations with grace and exceeds expectations every single time. It's always a pleasure to work with Marilyn!

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
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.

He is there for you the entire process to bounce ideas off of, and on wedding day is there ready to execute your vision and more. He is one of the vendors we have heard the most compliments on from a professionalism and uniqueness standpoint. He surpassed our expectations and then some.

️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

My husband and I ended up having our wedding on our original wedding date of October 23, 2020. Of course, we had to make some sacrifices due to COVID-19, but Fox and Hare Photography wasn't one of them. In fact, hiring them was one of the BEST decisions we made. Their portfolio truly spoke to me during the browsing process and I knew they would give us an incredible product. What I underestimated was the flawless experience we would get with them as well. They are true professionals with so much talent (and they're tons of fun!!). If you are on a tight budget, I HEAR you. Consider cutting costs elsewhere and splurging on your photographs. You really do look back on your photos forever. Our parents and guests loved them as well. I now look forward to future life events that Fox and Hare can be part of! Thank you, Jen and Steve!!

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

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).

If you’re wondering whether to hire Ali to photograph your wedding or other occasion, we say HIRE HER without a doubt. We hired Ali for our small wedding ceremony and reception based on a few good reviews and some sample shots we really liked. Upon a quick initial Zoom meeting, she seemed friendly and relaxed and very much like she knew what she was doing. During our planning phase, she was responsive to any question we had for her, no matter how insignificant the matter. But where she really shined was on day-of: she was so versatile and flexible, so while we were busy orchestrating and celebrating, she dashed around capturing the beauty of the evening. She gave us minimal instruction but managed to capture the perfect snapshots throughout the evening. She even ventured off with us for a vision we had of photos with the skyline in the background at the end. We’ve only received the sneak peek photos so far, but they are so gorgeous and we love them so much. Truly cannot wait to see the rest!

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

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding @ The State Room in Albany on 10/20/23. I woke up to the *at the time* unfortunate news that it was indeed going to rain and we had planned for our photos to be taken outside. BUT Sydney came to me with the best idea of shooting at The Capitol building on the million dollar staircase instead. These photos are the most stunning pictures and I’m honestly kinda glad it did rain because if it hadn’t we probably never would have gotten them. All thanks to Sydney for always thinking of her clients and trying to make their day the least stressed. Through out the whole process of planning the wedding, everything that had to do with Sydney was a breeze. She was so helpful in other ways too through out our wedding day. Fixed my vail about a hundred times, carried my lip gloss for me so I wouldn’t lose it, bustled my dress, and countless more! She is truly so wonderful at what she does and we couldn’t be more happy that we booked her to capture our day. But back to the photos…just simply stunning! I haven’t stopped looking at them since we got our gallery delivered. We received soooo many compliments on how amazing they turned out. She captured our day perfectly and it was so amazing to look at the pictures and relive the best day of our lives.

Your love story is unique and your vision for your wedding photography is personal. That is why I take the time to listen carefully to what matters most to you.

Frank and his team were absolutely amazing from start to finish. A friend of ours recommended Frank and New Jersey Wedding Studio to us after they had an amazing experience with him for their wedding. Frank took the time to get to know us on our initial calls, walked us through the pricing and different options for the videography we were looking for. On our wedding day he and his staff arrived promptly and were quick to determine unique video shots we could take as we were getting ready. Throughout the day they were there every step of the way, capturing all the beautiful moments with our friends, family and wedding party. The final products were really special and captured all of these amazing moments we will cherish forever. Frank also put the additional time into editing and adjusting our videos ensuring to implement all of our feedback. We really appreciated Franks patience and dedication to delivering a great final product. Originally we weren't even sure if we were going to do a videographer, and we are so glad we did. We would highly recommend New Jersey Wedding Studio to anyone who wants to capture their special day and have memories to look back on for years to come. Thank you again!!

I am so so so happy that Pavel and Eric were at our wedding to take pictures for our prep, first-look, ceremony, family, and reception pictures. Eric's guidance on posing for our couple was very professional and helpful that we had so many great pictures of ourselves. They were so flexible for our requests too! My individual pictures at the bridal suite are so gorgeous that I look the happiest girl in the world that day! My bridesmaids and groomsmen had all formal, fun, and creative pictures from the prep time to the end of reception! As our wedding was multi-ethnic wedding where two very different cultures combine together, I really wanted pictures that can highlight amazing sides of the both parties and Eric really did an amazing job that I could not love more! He was a very nice professional photographer I have ever worked with. The return of our wedding pictures was very quick too (2 weeks). I am so happy that we did not listen to our wedding venue's reference list but did all my research myself on weddingwire and found PSPi Studio! I highly recommend PSPi Studio for any occations including wedding! Thank you Pavel and Eric!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend her as a photographer to anyone who wants to have pictures that will allow them to keep reliving their wedding day. She was a joy to work with, easy-going, and yet very astute to our wishes as a couple. Kathryn made our already fantastic day one that we can keep visiting for many years to come. I don’t even know where to start. I think Kathryn was fated to be our wedding photographer. Nothing else explains how well it all turned out. Whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I relive my wedding so vividly that it is unreal. The way she was able to capture our day was beyond amazing, and it’s the same sentiment expressed by anyone who has viewed our photographs, from our wedding guests, family, and friends who didn’t attend, to strangers. Simply beautiful and magical. We found her online after months of searching and talking to many other photographers. She caught our attention with her pictures first but kept it with her personality and quality of work. We were able to feel the spirit, emotion, and genuine joy in them. Her attention to details and being able to capture all of those emotions spoke to us immediately. The creativity and sense of adventure that shined through her pictures secured her role on our joyous day. Her style matched ours so well. First of all, she was so easy to work with her. At the onset, our interactions were seamless, from the first conversation on the phone to the contracting process and the delivery of our photos. I have heard so many horror stories from friends and family about their photographers and being unhappy with the outcome that I was scared that my experience would be similar. However, working with Kathryn was indeed a dream, and my photos are beyond lovely. I don’t think a day has passed when we do not look at our photos with smiles on our faces. Her pictures are clear and full of energy. So well done that you can feel the emotions, hear the music, and experience all the joys. I can’t imagine anyone else being able to capture it the way she did. She was able to get little moments in-between moments. She was omnipresent yet invisible if that makes any sense, but it’s the best I can explain it. She was there when the Bridal party was getting ready yet not in the way. She captured the ceremony in a way that you can feel the love, the sincerity of our vows, and our audience responded to it all—documented the fun of the dance party to a point where you can hear the music that went along with the moves frozen in time. We hardly felt her presence in the room, but we know she was there because we have these captured moments. If you can book her, just do it!

My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday.

Hannah was a fabulous photographer for our wedding and I heartily recommend her to everyone! Long before the event took place, she made sure we were all on the same page about the process and what she would be capturing. She held our hand through our dealings with difficult family members, and made everyone feel great during the portraits. She is extremely professional, discreet, and was honestly the MVP of our wedding team, offering welcome advice along the way. The photos she took are beautiful, energetic, and we're so happy to have them.

He is so sweet and moves around your wedding like a guest. He talks to people around the wedding and isn't just a person with a camera. He really does a great job integrating himself into the wedding. 3. HIS PHOTOS TURN OUT STUNNING!!!!!!! You will be BLOWN away by the quality an the artistry of King. He may look like he is just snapping pictures, but he is doing way more than that! He is working a vision and capturing your special event in a way I cannot explain. Check his portfolio.

Awarded Best of Zola
Tom and Lexi are just the best! First, we had a fantastic engagement photo session at Ithaca Falls and Cornell Botanical Gardens in October – they really put us at ease in front of the camera and we had a ton of fun, and received amazing shots that we used for our Save-the-Dates. Fast forward to our summer (August) wedding day at The Treman Center – Tom & Lexi efficiently arranged our first look (Lexi even arranged an impromptu “pre-first look” with the bridal party, prior to bride/groom first look, which was adorable!). We took all the shots we wanted to take and then some, both our pre- and post-ceremony photos (which were a blast) were captured super quickly/efficiently (but it didn’t feel like we were rushing) – so we had ample time to enjoy hanging out with our guests during cocktail hour. Lexi and Tom suggested an amazing night time silhouette shot that looks spectacular (in lieu of our sunset photo idea which didn’t happen due to rain/clouds). We received our sneak peak of both the engagement session and wedding day within 48 hours, which really held us over as we eagerly awaited seeing the full galleries. From our wedding, Tom & Lexi put together a beautiful slideshow of selected shots set to the sweetest soundtrack, which was a ton of fun to watch and relive the day until the final full portfolio was ready. The final online gallery was sorted into specific albums for different parts of the day which made it really easy to browse, and is easily shareable. One guest (the bride's brother) commented, “These are honestly the best wedding photos I've seen” and so many other guests commented on how gorgeous all the photos are; we can’t wait to share prints with our family and wedding party. We are seriously amazed. Tom & Lexi truly captured the love and happiness felt during our special day -- we keep looking at them and thinking, how did you capture everyone so perfectly, allowing their personalities shine through? How were you both in 1350831 different places at once and yet totally able to blend into the background? How do you guys keep raising the bar with each additional peek at our photos?? We are so grateful we chose you as our photographers!!! Thank you Tom & Lexi!

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.

Her professionalism, reliability, organization and communication are all stellar and she took time and care to understand and deliver what I really prioritized.

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.

She always stayed in touch, and when the pandemic hit made sure to let us know that she is available to figure out solutions incase we cannot go through with our original plans. Kara was incredibly professional and gave us suggestions for poses, scouted photo locations, and met with us before our elopement. She was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our wedding to be smaller and then to an elopement all together. On the day of she came to photograph us on time, gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. It was like having a friend around, which meant a lot to us since we had o one but us on our special day due to COVID. We had so much fun shooting we didn't notice our time was up! She was so excited about our photos she send us sneak peeks within hours of our ceremony, while on her layover. Needless to say we were thrilled and amazed with the end photos she provided. She had the final gallery ready for us within the timeline she provided in her contract ( actually even earlier than we expected!) The photos were presented in an easy to access gallery where you can also print them or make them into an album. We are absolutely in LOVE with the photos she took of us!

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!

They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit.

I searched for a wedding photographer for over 6 months and Strata had the best quality and value. Brandon and Kayla were amazing to work with! They captured this special day beautifully. I was so happy with how the pictures came out. I highly recommend them for any wedding!

Tom's dedication truly shone on our wedding day. He went the extra mile, driving from Cooperstown to Albany and staying until 11 PM without a single complaint. His openness to our unconventional ideas made the day even more special. Although it took two months to receive our photos, the wait was undoubtedly worthwhile. While there were a few missed shots we wish we'd captured, like singles with our parents, the overall experience with Tom was fantastic. He's not only a skilled photographer but also incredibly easy to work with—I'd hire him again without hesitation.

Hi there! I’m Djaniella (or dj for short). I love storytelling, adventures, and creating connections with people. I’m attracted to a meaningful image, and being able to relive that moment in my mind. A coffee shop and an ice cream parlor is always on my list whenever I visit a new town. I love the sound of waves crashing along the shore, I love people-watching, I love basketball, I love spending time with my family, and I love good food. Thanks for visiting! Let’s work with each other :)

Where do I even begin to express the sheer delight of working with DJ on my wedding day? From the moment we first met, I knew I was in for something special. DJ's exceptional skills as a photographer not only met but exceeded all my expectations, making my wedding day an absolute dream come true! From the very start, DJ's warm and personable nature put everyone at ease. It was like having a girlfriend by our side, capturing every precious moment. As the day unfolded, her talent shined through, beautifully capturing the essence of our emotions and the magic of the occasion. The candid photos DJ captured are my absolute favorite! DJ's ability to handle even the most rambunctious of groomsmen was nothing short of amazing. She effortlessly navigated through the challenges of the day. Even with a group of boys who had indulged in a bit too much, DJ skillfully guided them into perfect poses, resulting in some of the most cherished and candid shots. Throughout the entire process, DJ displayed a level of patience and professionalism that left a lasting impression. She expertly orchestrated the wedding party, ensuring everyone was organized and ready for their moment in front of the camera. The way she managed to capture everyone’s personality while maintaining the cohesiveness of the group shots was truly commendable. There was not one person missed! DJ made sure I had a photo was each family member, which I am extremely grateful for. It felt as though DJ was more than just a photographer; she became an integral part of our wedding day, seamlessly blending in with our friends and family. The rapport she built with us was evident in the photographs! In the end, the pictures surpassed anything I could have imagined. DJ's talent and dedication to her craft have given us a treasure trove of memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her ability to create such a relaxed and enjoyable experience on our special day truly made all the difference. I can wholeheartedly say that DJ is not only an incredibly photographer but also a wonderful person, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a photographer who can turn their wedding day into an absolute masterpiece! You can see capturing moments is what she LOVES to do!

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

Jarrod was so professional and made it so easy and fun to take photos that captured our essence and our love. The photos of our special day are now displayed in our home and continue to be a priceless reminder of one of the best days of our lives.

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. Probably the best at communication out of all our vendors and is still the person we come to with our new milestones. A maternity session is definitely going to be in the mix soon
