The quality of their work was truly one-of-a-kind - their photos are gorgeous, superb, innovative, and incredibly detail-oriented and precise.

We were especially grateful that they were able to capture our private final dance, which means the world to us. After our wedding, when our oldest son was leaving for bootcamp, Sean thoughtfully sent us additional photos that had been taken during the celebration, which are now cherished keepsakes for our family.

Hey, I’m Savannah! I’ve been photographing weddings since 2016, and somewhere along the way, it became the love of my life (well, one of them). I’m all about honest storytelling—documenting the real stuff, the in-between moments, the things you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is documentary with a creative edge, and my approach is simple: get to know you, show up with intention, and create photos that feel like you. If you’re into big feelings, warm tones, and someone who will hype you up while also fixing your flyaways, we’ll get along just fine.

Awarded Best of Zola
Savanah and Andrew are two of the sweetest souls with an eye for every picture you could possibly need. From our first discover call until the big day, everything was handled with ease. Pictures can be awkward but they make it comfortable! They also think of all the small details you’d want but don’t think of. If our big day didn’t fit in their schedule, we would’ve moved it to fit on theirs. My pictures turned out better than I could’ve expected and I got sneaks right away. Everything was 10/10 and I couldn’t be more grateful they were a part of my special day.

Hi! My name is Mae, and I live in Brooklyn with my girlfriend, our two dogs Apollo and Bia, her cat Gigi and my lizard, Basil! I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories. Weddings and elopements are so distinctly and uniquely human, and it’s truly the biggest honor to be trusted to document them.

Awarded Best of Zola
I came across Mae’s work when looking for a photographer for engagement photos in Central Park, and I was immediately impressed with Mae and knew we were going to be incredibly happy with the results. Mae responded immediately to all my questions, day or night, and took the time to video chat with me at length twice before the shoot to discuss what we were looking for in our photos. Before the shoot, I had sent her a few examples of what I liked, and not only did the photos come out exactly how I wanted them, but were even more perfect than I envisioned. The engagement shoot itself was so much fun, and Mae made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire process, despite us thinking we’d both feel awkward getting posed photos of us taken. Mae truly had a vision for what poses, locations, and lighting would work, and the execution was perfect. Some of the feedback we got from our friends was that the photos looked like a magazine, and that they were “ethereal.” Even better, Mae somehow got us the edited photos back within 24 hours of the shoot. Her pricing is also incredibly reasonable given the quality of her work, meticulousness, and experience in photography, as well as the very quick turnaround time. My fiance and I truly cannot recommend her enough, and we are excited to work with her again in the future. She is truly an artist, and any couple would be incredibly lucky to work with her!

Diana and team were simply the best! You want a bestie during wedding planning, you want a hype girl as you just get into your wedding dress. Diana is your girl! I booked Diana after many other phone calls with other photographers, she spent literally an hour on the phone with me getting to know me, my fiance and our life. Never once did she mention her availability or prices. Which was really refreshing after having so many vendors treat you like just a paycheck. We became besties in that conversation. During our engagement session she cheered us on even tho we were so awkward in front of the camera. You could never tell by the photos! One word. Stunning! Diana will reach out periodically during the time up to the wedding and help with locations, other vendors and help with time lines. We had many conversations and most of them started with “how are we feeling about wedding planning”…. What vendor thinks like a best friend rather than a vendor in this day and age of wedding craziness… Swatch studios does! They go above and beyond! Day of wedding if I needed something Diana was right there cheering me on, it was 90 degrees on my wedding day and 90% humidity. I was a sweat mess, she kept saying like oh yes girl and pose like “ that’s my husband… yas!” Which honestly is why I’m obsessed with every single wedding photo we got back! When the time came for Diana to leave for the night. I cried because I was so sad our time get together was over. If my novel doesn’t convince you, that you need to at least schedule a chat with Swatch Studios … are you even a bride?!

Hi! I'm Sherry, the owner of 83 Weddings, and I’ll be your direct point of contact from your very first inquiry all the way through final delivery. My background is a little unique—I previously worked as a field photographer for the FBI while capturing weddings in my spare time. Over the years, my passion for weddings grew, and today it has become my full-time focus. Along the way, I’ve built an incredible team of talented photographers and videographers, allowing 83 Weddings to serve couples across the country.

We were thrilled with the work of 83 Weddings for our wedding photography. From our very first conversation, the team was highly communicative, responsive, and professional. They took the time to understand our vision and preferences, and provided helpful guidance throughout the planning process.
