Awarded Best of Zola
“We were so blessed with fantastic vendors on our day, but Mary truly helped us bring the whole thing together. From the moment we chatted on the phone, we knew we were in great hands!! With her quote, she sent over a proposed timeline for the day and recommendations of timing / number of photographers-- we used this to quite literally plan our whole day timeline around, and we were never running low on time; everything felt according to plan and never rushed. (Family photos were SO smooth!) Her level of detail is so special, and we loved the photos captured of all the hard work we put in on the decorations, venue, etc. as well as the organic human moments filled with emotion, silliness and beyond! She makes you feel so comfortable and ease immediately, which helped bring out the sweetness and silliness in our couples photos. We also got the BEST reception photos and loved how much happened on the dance floor or at cocktail hour that we didn't even see happen (because, you know, you're a bit busy seeing everyone)! Could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're so happy we had her for our day.”

“Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!”

“this guy wow from the minute I booked him I knew this was the right decision I called a million photographers and everyone was crazy expensive and some felt like they were just not the right fit. Mike had a great attitude and made me feel so comfortable that I booked him right away. He gave us a winter discount and the price of the wedding photo came with engagement session. The shoot was amazing we used it as a family shoot since we had our son already and he was so good with him had him smiling the whole time. In less than two weeks, I got all my pictures back, not a preview all 1363 of them!! He captured the day so beautifully!! Him and Hunter (the 2nd photographer) did a freaking phenomenal job! I can’t wait to use Mike for all my future shoots. I think the pics speak for themselves with what an amazing job he did!!”

“When my husband and I were looking at photographers, Kyle Preiser was recommended to us by someone my husband works with, and I'm so glad they did! From our first meeting with Kyle we felt comfortable with him which was super important to us since sometimes we can feel a little awkward in front of the camera. We did our engagement photos at our apartment and then at a nearby park and Kyle worked with us to find something that showed off our nerdy, game-loving side and helped us feel relaxed. The pictures we got back were beautiful. Leading up to the big day, we met with him and our day-of coordinator to make sure we were all on the same page about what pictures we wanted, the timeline and offer suggestions that incorporated what we wanted with what was possible with the venue and timeline we had. It made the day-of run so smoothly. On the day, he and his team were genuinely so much fun to be around. It's like we were just hanging out. We got so many pictures taken and were able to stay on schedule. He had us laughing and really enjoying the moment. We would absolutely work with Kyle again and would recommend him for your wedding.”

I am honored to get to live these special moments with all of my clients. Since starting wedding photography full-time 7 years ago, I’ve worked with countless couples to capture their proposals, engagements, weddings and elopements. My goal with every session or event is to leave with casually constructed as well as charming candid photos of my clients and to form a lifelong friendship along the way. Let’s talk!

Awarded Best of Zola
“We’ve had the pleasure of working with Reese for 3 different photo shoots! First, Reese was hired as our surprise photographer when my (then boyfriend) proposed to me on Shelter Island. Reese did an absolutely amazing job hiding out until the moment struck, and I didn’t realize she was even there capturing each precious moment until she finally popped out with the most genuine excitement! She made that day even more special, and having her take our photos for the next hour after saying “yes” was the perfect way to celebrate. We immediately hired her to shoot our engagement session to compile photos for our save the dates, invitations, and wedding website. She traveled into Manhattan for us and created the most fairytale and dreamlike photo shoot all around the most picturesque places in Central Park! Of course, Reese was also our wedding photographer and we can’t imagine that day without her. She is so creative, full of fun energy, thoughtful, organized, timely, and above all talented! Each and every photo she’s taken is instantly our favorite and we have already locked her down for another photo shoot for our anniversary. Shooting with Reese is like shooting with your best friend, and as soon as you meet her she becomes just that :).”

Marybeth is professional, imaginative, true to her word, and passionate about her work. Our photoshoot took place on a rather dreary, cloudy, summer day.

Her photos are exactly what we were looking for. When we view them, we are transported right back to that day, and every emotion, every hug, every sentimental moment is there for us to cherish.

Patken Photographer Inc established in Lindenhurst, N.Y is a family owned and operated photography studio. The ability to create stories, make subjects feel good about themselves and freeze history was beyond exciting to him. " We love the fact that people remember their lives through our eyes, our feelings, our emotions and everything we are as people

“We first reached out to Patken Photography in October 2023 for our elopement photos in Long Island, and from that very first shoot, we knew we had found the right photographers for all our wedding events. They were professional, creative, and genuinely kind, making the entire process so much easier and more enjoyable. They ended up capturing so many important moments for us—our engagement photos in Orlando, my bridal shower in Long Island, our Madhuram Veppu ceremony (a South Indian blessing), and finally, our two-day wedding in Orlando on 11/1/24. Every single event was beautifully photographed, and we’re so thankful we chose them to preserve these memories. Doug, Kevin, and Kenneth were incredible to work with. They struck the perfect balance between directing us for stunning posed photos and blending into the background to catch those natural, candid moments. You could tell they truly cared about capturing the joy, love, and little details that made each event special. We also decided to include their photo booth at our wedding, and it was a huge hit! Our guests had so much fun, and we loved looking through all the photos afterward. It added such a fun, interactive touch to the day, and the quality of the prints was top-notch. What really stood out to us about Patken Photography was how comfortable they made everyone feel. Whether it was just the two of us or a big family group, they created an atmosphere where we could relax and just be ourselves—and it showed in the photos. From start to finish, they were responsive, helpful, and so easy to work with. Any questions or ideas we had were met with enthusiasm and expertise. They made sure everything ran smoothly, so we never had to stress about the photography side of things. The photos are absolutely gorgeous—better than we could have imagined—and we already can’t wait to work with them again for future milestones like pregnancy or family photos. They didn’t just take pictures; they gave us memories we’ll treasure forever. If you’re looking for talented photographers who truly care about their clients and will go above and beyond to make your experience amazing, we can’t recommend Patken Photography enough. They were such an important part of our wedding journey, and we’ll always be grateful for their work!”

“We absolutely loved working with ADA Studio for our wedding! From start to finish, the entire team was amazing and made our day so special. Mike and Anthony were our photographers, Taylor was their assistant, and Lee was our videographer, and we cannot say enough wonderful things about all of them. The entire team made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. They kept us laughing and smiling, helped keep everything moving, and made the whole experience so enjoyable. Having your picture taken all day can feel intimidating, but they made everything feel natural and fun! We received over 1,500 photos just over a month after our wedding, and we absolutely LOVE them! There are so many gorgeous pictures that it is going to be nearly impossible to narrow them down to decide which ones to print and frame or include in our wedding albums. We have such a beautiful mix of portraits with our families, stunning photos of the two of us, and candid moments captured throughout the entire night. They captured our family members dancing, all the little moments in between, and so many memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. Looking through our gallery brings us right back to our wedding day, and we are so grateful to have these moments captured so beautifully. One thing I especially appreciate is that the gallery includes so much variety. We have the beautiful, posed photos we wanted, but we also have those genuine, candid moments that really capture the happiness and emotion of the day. There are so many pictures we didn’t even realize were being taken, and we love getting to relive those moments! The only thing I would mention for future couples is that we did not receive sneak peeks, so if having sneak peeks shortly after your wedding is important to you, make sure that is discussed and included in your contract ahead of time. That said, we received our full gallery of over 1,500 photos just over a month after our wedding, and we are incredibly happy with the results. We are so grateful to Mike, Anthony, Taylor, Lee, and the entire ADA Studio team for being part of our wedding and capturing our day so beautifully. These photos are something we will look back on for the rest of our lives, and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We would absolutely recommend ADA Studio to any couple looking for a wonderful photography and videography team for their wedding!”

I have been photographing and editing events since 2009 when I was lucky enough do this professionally. I love shooting Engagements, Weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, Portraits and other Special Events and get to work with other wonderful, and creative photographers and videographers. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to do something I love and have passion for! I work primarily in the tri-state area, but love to travel and have photographed in many other states.

“Elana was amazing to work with! She is professional and super fun! As an event planner, there’s nothing like having a great photographer to not only capture all the of the small details but also the overall feel of the event and Elana does just that! Her images are absolutely gorgeous, artistic and original. I look forward to working with her again!”

Just bring your smile... we'll do the rest! Exciting, original, genuine, fresh, never boring!

“From our first conversation with Life Art Photographers, we knew we were in good hands. Anthony and his videographer made the whole process feel natural and stress-free, which meant we could focus on enjoying our day instead of worrying about the camera. They had a clear vision for what they wanted to capture but were also open to our ideas, striking the perfect balance between professional guidance and listening to what mattered to us. The photos turned out beautiful, and having both photos and video gave us multiple ways to relive all the fun moments. Anthony's professionalism combined with his easy-fun approach made the entire experience smooth from start to finish. We'd absolutely recommend Life Art Photographers to any couple looking for quality work without the headache.”

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

“Matt and Lesley from Gelfman Photography are absolutely amazing. They have amazing communication, answering emails and messages very quickly. They are hardworking, honest, and produce beautiful photographs. When our wedding timeline got pushed back, they adjusted the schedule to make sure I got all of my important shots. Their prices are extremely fair, and they have made my whole wedding run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gelfman Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.”
