“We had such a great experience with Enchanted Celebrations for our wedding! From the beginning, Summer was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and always quick to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Our photographer, Ash, was amazing. He was extremely professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. You can really see how devoted and passionate he is about his work and how much he cares about getting the perfect shots. He had great ideas throughout the day and made us feel completely taken care of. Even some of our friends noticed how great he was and commented on it afterward. Our videographer, Randolph, was also amazing. His enthusiasm and positive energy made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was very attentive throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments. The only thing I would recommend to future couples is that if you choose a specific photographer from their portfolio, ask Enchanted Celebrations to confirm that person’s availability before making your payment. We selected a photographer when we booked about eight months before our wedding, but around two weeks after booking, we were told that photographer wasn’t available. Their contract does state that if your selected photographer isn’t available, they can assign another photographer from those available, but I would have appreciated having the availability confirmed before we booked and paid. That being said, we ended up being extremely happy with Ash and Randolph. They were both wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were in great hands on such an important day. We can’t wait to see everything they captured. Thank you to the entire Enchanted Celebrations team! Her are pictures taken from Ash the photographer for the engagement shoot !”

Hey! I'm Travis, the wedding photographer you've been looking for that keeps things relaxed and fun while capturing everything from the big moments, to the tiny in between details. Me and my laid back, easy to work with crew are here to document your day in every format from digital, to film, videography & vintage Super 8.

“We were lucky enough to have Travis film our wedding on super 8 film and it is the most authentic and genuine content we could've asked for. Our only request was that the day felt like us and not like a photo shoot and Travis exceeded that request and provided us with a video that we can't stop watching and has us in tears each time. It's nostalgic, simple, and authentically us. We also had the vintage photo booth set up which was such a hit and allowed guests to have some extra fun off the dance floor. We can't recommend Travis and the Citrine team enough !!!”

“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 passionate about love, all types, all stories. It is my purpose to capture intimate moments of human existence through the lens of my camera. 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
“I recently met Reese and had the honor of working two weddings with her so far. As a videographer, I'm always nervous to work with a photographer for the first time. I want to be able to capture the couple's special day alongside the photographer and I'm never sure if they'll hold space for me or treat me well. Working alongside Reese has been such a sigh of relief. She's cool, down to earth, has a great sense of humor, and has always made sure that we were working together and never jeopardized my role for a second. She would frequently ask if I had everything I needed for my shots, would work with me on our positioning for big moments like the ceremony and first dances, and her creative style aligns so well with mine. I look forward to working more weddings with her in the future!”

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

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.

“Finding someone you trust to capture your wedding is such a huge weight on your shoulders, but Park Ave Studios made it easy. We booked them through a package with Whitby Castle and decided to add a second photographer and a videographer was easily the best decision we made. Ed and Will were fantastic; having two photographers allowed for so many different angles and styles that we would have missed otherwise. Our videographer, John, was equally amazing and captured the energy of the day perfectly. What really blew us away was the efficiency—we had all our images and videos back within 30 days! Plus, having personalized Thank You cards included in the package was a massive lifesaver during the post-wedding chaos. We can’t recommend this team enough!”

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!”

We would absolutely recommend her to any couple who is planning to get married. My partner and I loved having her on our special day.”

Giorgio’s, Sunset Harbour, The Piermont, Hotel Indigo, Millpond Caterers, Macari Vineyards, Cow Fish and others are some of the catering halls generous enough to recommend our services to their couples. Just bring your smile... we'll do the rest! Exciting, original, genuine, fresh, never boring!

“I know how hard it is to find a good photographer but after doing a lot of research and asking for recommendations we decided to go with them. Jennifer has different photographers and we worked with Keith, he was super professional and his work was just amazing, easy to work with him and you can see how experienced he is. I haven’t received my pictures yet since it has been only 3 weeks from the wedding. So far so good. ( I’ll be updating the info)”
