As a storyteller, I love to capture emotions, smiles, happiness and the warm atmosphere of the wedding in beautiful and endless moments. All couples are unique and I take great pride in understanding what is important to You. I have been photographing weddings for over 12 years and in that time I've shot more than 450 weddings in the U.S, Iceland, Italy, Sweden, Indonesia (Bali), France and other.

I'm a natural wanderer who loves listening and capturing stories of people. Weddings are more than just the dress and decorations, it's about telling a story the best way possible and showing you how beautiful your day is, especially the love you have for each other and your loved ones.

I'm there to capture all those moments, the way you look at each other, the way your friends laugh and celebrate your joyous day, and it's my job to make it even more magical through my lens, rain or shine.

At this point in my career I have captured over 150 love stories and I'm not ready to stop anytime soon.

Hi! My name is Sascha and I am a storyteller in New York City. I have a wonderful wife, a smart daughter and the most adorable Golden Retriever.

But this isn’t about me, is it now?! it’s about what I can do for you. So, what does that look like? It looks like the unique & stress-free New York City wedding day of your dreams. It feels like your sides aching from so much laughter. From start to finish, I’ll be by your side, and I don’t just mean on the day of your wedding. I’ll guide you throughout the planning too, if you want me to. When the day arrives, I’ll capture the memories we’ve crafted so perfectly together – memories that are authentic and genuinely you on your best day ever in New York City.
 
As your New York City elopement photographer, I promise to be your biggest fan. The proof is in the pictures.

Every couple's love story is worth remembering.

Why? Because their marriage matters.

When two people stand in front of their closest friends and family to exchange vows, they're not simply hosting a fun party for the people they love. They're making forever promises that knit their lives together. It's special, intimate, even sacred.

That's why I want to be there.

I want couples to have enduring reminders of the love they have and the promises they've made.

And more than that, I want them to celebrate all their favorite moments with their guests:

- Remember their grandparents out on the dance floor, cutting a rug like they used to in the old days.
- Cherish the moment their best friends teared up seeing the bride in her dress for the first time.
- Instantly recall what it felt like during every important moment of their day.

That's why I photograph weddings.

And that's why I want to photograph yours.

If dreams came true, I would be playing alongside Steph Curry in the NBA. But I'm living the best possible alternative: capturing beautiful, authentic wedding photos for my couples. My goal is to turn your wedding into a work of art and exceed your every expectation. Nothing will be cookie cutter. I'll help you capture real moments and emotions with your family that you'll want to remember forever. These moments happen once. Best part of all, you won't even notice I'm there! Off the record, I also love The Knicks, watching Curb, and eat wayyy too much dark chocolate. Go ahead...have fun, explore my work. And then reach out to find out if I'm available on your date.

Serendipity worked out pretty well for Ryan and Tatiana Brenizer. Both wedding photographers with more than 10 years experience each and more than 1,000 weddings between them, they didn't mean to fall in love with the photographer whose work and style fit most seamlessly with theirs ... it just kind of happened. Realizing that they loved not just each other but the work they produced together, and that they are one of those weird couples who like being around each other literally all the time, they decided to merge their business in 2016, giving a two-for-one effort for clients not just on the wedding day, but with service and communication throughout the entire planning process and beyond.

Ryan comes from a photojournalistic background, having covered each U.S. president since Clinton. During his coverage, he has been blessed by the Pope, stared down by Muhammad Ali, manically gained at by Stephen Colbert, and had his photos of Smokey Robinson featured the in Kennedy Center lifetime tribute ceremony. He teaches wedding photography in lectures and workshops around the globe, with a specialty in "what to do when everything goes wrong." He is ranked as one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World by the two top industry magazines, American Photo and Rangefinder.

Tatiana has worked in essentially every aspect of the photography field, from editorial portraiture to corporate product campaigns, but found her love in weddings more than a decade ago. She has an extremely long list of overjoyed clients, with a lifetime perfect 5.0 customer service score, and a tradition of amazing photojournalism and innovative, playful portraits.

Together, Ryan and Tatiana are the only independent photographers to document the U.S. presidential candidates the last time they meet before the election, and have photographed weddings around the world, including Chile, Vietnam, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ireland, the Bahamas, and many more, as well as essentially every street corner in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Wedding photographer. Horror movie superfan. Wildly in love with her human children and two dogs. Brooklyn-dweller, love-lover, always way too caffeinated.

I love to photograph weddings because it charges me. To capture and feel your emotions, moments of joy, feelings, build exceptional breathtaking compositions that amaze and absorb. I offer myself as a wedding photographer in any part of the world where loving hearts are.

I believe in providing a visual family legacy. On your wedding day, I become part of your family, one of your friends. Therefore, your story is truly told through the eyes of a friend, not a stranger. Photography at your wedding isn't about hours of posing for photos, it's about enjoying one of the most important days of your life with the people that matter most to you. Family. Friends. By welcoming me into your world, I am able to capture all the emotions of the day - the serious, the silly and the poetic.

It is my passion as a photographer to have your wedding photos depict the relationship between you and the people you love. We become who we are through our family and friends. Your photos will communicate who they are and the bond you have with each of them.

Plain and simple, I love to tell stories... but I'm not an amazing writer so I use photography instead. There's a story in nearly every situation one encounters or finds his or herself in. These experiences, these encounters are the very things that have developed my images and I find great pleasure in sharing them through the weddings, events and other documentary projects.

I have an interest in creating photographic art and presenting images that tell really interesting stories and memories. When I'm working I prefer not to interfere with the event and situations I find myself in. Capturing the reality, moments and the stories is my focus.

Aaron aims to create photographs that feel as alive as you did on your wedding day, and he doesn't stop searching for the perfect shot, even if it means sacrificing his neatly-pressed suits in order to capture your greatest moments with the perfect composition.

He has photographed weddings in Greece, China, Costa Rica, Barbados, Mexico, and all over the United States. So no matter where you are getting married, he will be there.

I will catch a grenade for you, and take fantastic wedding pictures for you.

I treat photography as the art form it should be and not just a business. I spent years perfecting my skill set, and always trying to push myself to new limits. My goal is to tell a timeless story with my work. I am extremely passionate about my craft and love the possibility that my photos can transport people back in time to relive their most amazing day of days.

Now some quick tidbits on me as a person. I love traveling, hiking, biking, and any other kind of adventure you can throw my way, I'm a foodie and pretty good around the grill, I'm a huge fan of the arts, from any genre of music, books, movies, and traditional art, a dog lover, and most of all I'm a romantic. All this may sound a little personal, but I am letting you see who I am because this is how I view the world and this shows through my photos.

When I looked through the few remaining wedding photos of his parents he thought it was a pity the photographer was not experienced enough to capture the once-in-a-lifetime moment of my mother and father's happiest day together. My dad could have done what photographer Chris Niedenthal did - during his own wedding he announced a competition for the best picture among his fellow photographers. I also remember my dad taking pictures with a Russian Zenith ET which was later passed on to him becoming his first camera.

I got into serious photography as early as in 1998. Since then I have been working as a photographer for several press agencies and a major national newspaper in Warsaw, Poland, during which time I gained a lot of experience tackling challenges of wedding photography. After several years of freelancing I am currently mostly committed to wedding and food photography. I am a visual storyteller who not only makes sure that the newlyweds have the memorable images that they always dreamed of but also that the bride and groom feel comfortable and unworried throughout the whole wedding experience.

THIS LOVE IS FULL OF LIFE
Your photos should be, too

This love is vibrant
If your love were a color, what would it be? (My guess is that it's not neutral.) Love is alive. It moves. It's most visible when you're laughing. And the best photos are the ones that capture it in all its colorful glory

This love is real
Unimportant bullshit isn't your style. For you, getting married is a chance to get together with the people you care about, eat good food, drink good wine, and make this commitment shebang really fun

This love is beautiful
Like the way you smile at each other. Or how your family hops right in at the end of your first dance and you all jump around together, laughing

Let's put the LIFE in 'til death do us part

You're busy preparing for your big day and there's so much you need to do. So let me cut to the chase and say this, if given the opportunity to photograph your wedding I'll work my arse off and make sure you have photographs that'll help you relive your wedding memories for decades to come. Handstands, balancing over balcony ledges or jumping into a pool (even though I don't know how to swim!), I'll do whatever it takes to capture moments you didn't even know were happening, but would definitely love to see in your wedding album!

As your photographer my goal is simple, yet ambitious, to document your wedding and tell your story in its most vivid and compelling form through my photographs.

We are a small group of visual artists who use photography as a means of expression. Our ambition is neither to scale up nor to follow a trend, but to specifically combine each shooting session with our on-going art practice and our insight of the uniqueness of each client, to generate the resonance of emotions between our clients and us.

We love the sense of keeping things natural, but go far beyond merely documenting. We throw ourselves into an event, flow in the moment, and focus on every detail that could evoke people's beautiful memories of a wedding. Detail never is trivial. It speaks for the event. It can be a ring, a dress, a decoration, but also a subtle change of expression, or a tiny movement of a finger. Our job is to collect, refine, and freeze those sparkling details, and put them all together to create a still movie, reminding people's presence at the wedding, forever.

My name is Valiko Proskurnin, and I have been a destination wedding photographer for over 5 years, based in New York, available to all Caribbean and worldwide. Photography is not only my work, but it is my passion in life. Not only does it give me opportunities to travel the world and see amazing places I have never visited, but photography also allows me to meet various people from diverse backgrounds and cultures. Being part of their most memorable experience, the wedding day brings me closer to the families and the friends of each couple - many of whom I call my friends today.

Every person is unique, so every wedding should include not only the traditional formals, but the REAL moments, the REAL people and their emotions. By capturing these glimpses in time, our Clients are able to look back on their wedding day and experience those emotions all over again.

I love to capture real emotions at a wedding. I believe each wedding is so dynamic and unique in its own way that one can never get bored of making photographs in this industry. With over 200+ weddings under my belt, I believe I have a natch of anticipating the right moment and the skill-set to capture it in its true essence. "I am fearless"

Hi! My name is Siobhán and I am a photographer based in Saratoga Springs, NY. I love capturing the candid moments on a wedding day. I have a background in Fine Art so making every image in a creative way is what I aim to do!

This is Mandar Parab freelance photographer based in NY, USA. Growing up in a big fat happy Indian family has accelerated my emotional, celebratory and cultural side. Probably the reason why I end up having an amazing connection and instant friendship with my clients. We, together, celebrate their celebrations and capture the best moments of life. After studying, learning, exploring and capturing my own country for 5 years, I came to New York in 2016 and did specialization in Documentary Practice and Visual Journalism from International Center of Photography, NY. And since then, I have been mesmerized with this city's multicultural global crowd and excited to shoot weddings from different cultures.

You'll be too busy having fun to know we were even there! Candid, Natural Wedding Photography for the Modern Couple.

SBphotography was founded on the urge for expression. I was stuck in a place that lacked any and all creativity and was thirsty for an outlet to allow me just that. I took my time to develop a style I find to be both natural and unique and that was also the basis on which I was to develop a relationship with my clients. To be natural, creative and (most importantly) OPEN. I've found that by connecting with a client on a personal level, we produce the best images. Taking pictures has become second nature and we are all creative in our own way but establishing a true and honest connection with a client is part of my art form. I shoot to inspire; to invoke a feeling inside you. My goal is to always deliver a product that reaches my standards of quality, quantity and creativity. Always pushing to be better and different. My team and I shoot with focus and concentration and we don't miss a thing! We always strive to give extra and do more, for YOU.

Your investment in your photos is an investment in your memories. Enjoy life and be well.

Hello. Our names are Natalie and Kate. Clients turn to us not only because our photos are elegant, classic, emotional, which will give warm memories. And because we are sunny people, it is easy to communicate with us and every minute people find only positive.

It all begun when I was 12 y.o. and was gifted an SLR camera by my Grandpa. Little that I understood and foreseen that it will ultimately become my passion.

Some years later, that's all I could dream of, doing what I love most, Photography and Cinematography. I really enjoy the technical approach when comes to creation of a unique image. Photography utterly means Drawing with Light, from Greek φωτός (phōtos) means Light and γραφή (graphé) mean Drawing. Be it a candid emotion or a staged pose, I choose the creative lighting in order to achieve a creative result.

Cinematography means Motion Drawing, and when it comes to document an emotion or film by a script (commercial or even a wedding), it's so crucial to not only be technical about your lighting but also about the movement happening in the frame, to the point where it doesn't distract from watching but rather encourage.

From 10+ Years in this amazing field, I met a lot of creative people and friended professionals that only fortified what is known today as KASS STUDIO. I truly believe that something Big is always achieved by Big Dreams and ultimately the Right Team.

I am a New Jersey/New York-based professional photographer specializing in artistic wedding photography. My passion for weddings reveals itself with the ability to capture the unique essence of each event through my photojournalistic style and keen artistic vision. I was recently named in the top 12 photographers in NYC by the World's Best Wedding Photographers.

I have been a full-time wedding photographer and owner of my company since 1998. When we begin to work together, you will see that my experience has allowed me to develop a keen technical knowledge alongside an intuition - a kind of sixth sense - for wedding days and how they flow. I match those qualities with a sensitivity and respect for the diverse cultures, traditions and ceremonies of my clients. In combination with the rapport we develop, the foundation is laid for me to capture the authenticity of a bride and groom.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than the opportunity to document a meaningful day and help you preserve it in a way that allows for the memory to live on well past the event. Working together, beautiful wedding photography will be the result of a holistic experience based in honesty, trust, intuition, experience, technical instinct and creative passion. Remember, when hiring a wedding photographer, it's more than just using a camera.

Photographer Leila Jacue and art director David Leon founded L&L Style Photo with the purpose of creating special images reflecting the emotions of great couples getting married in New York City and beyond, celebrating their day in special, unique ways. We believe in capturing real moments with an editorial approach. We'd love to hear about you & your day!

I love to take photos of weddings, preserving the beautiful moments of your life, by utilizing a vast variety of styles to give a uniqueness to each moment that is captured. My specialization is bringing together the documentary style with traditional/staged style to catch the precious emotions and also to get magazine style staged pictures.
Combining many years of experience and passion to present the magic and beauty through the camera lens allows me to fulfill the highest expectations with the best results. I am waiting to capture your beautiful love story, forever in time.

How awesome is it that we can freeze one moment in a photograph and hold on to it forever? I'm not looking for the posed moments when everyone is wearing that "camera smile", I want the moments of excitement, uncertainty, elation, and overwhelm, where my subjects are caught up in each other. I provide a genuine, connected, and interactive photography experience to my clients. I shoot from a storytellers point of view. When future generations look at my images, I want them to be able to experience the personalities and relationships of their ancestry.

I consider myself a story teller. I love to document one of the best days of a couple's life and tell the most beautiful story I can. I fell in love with photography since my teenage years, mostly as a landscape and event photographer, but then I took a part time job as a photographer's assistant and became completely enthralled by the moments we were recording. It was an unbelievable experience and ever since I have tried to replicate that feeling. Only by becoming a wedding photographer myself I have been able to.

I want to tell people stories the way I see them through my lens, and I want those moments to last for a very long time in the memories and lives of the couples I work with. For me, the emotions I create though my images, is the most satisfactory feeling I can ever have. I want the couples I photograph to get the best of me.
