Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (47 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY

Hey there! My name is Marilyn. I live in New York City with my sweet partner, and our orange cat Maple. I’m an introverted, soft-hearted mush with an insatiable need to document the beauty in life. Practicing self-portraits in middle school eventually led me to pursue my photography degree from New York University, and I have been joyfully creating photos of wedding days ever since. To me, weddings are a magical display of the human spirit. It’s my biggest honor and joy to create imagery that captures that human magic - especially in a way that breaks the boundaries of historically gendered traditions.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with from start to finish. When we began looking for the right photographer for us, our primary criteria was someone who would photograph our day in a way that looked like art that could blend into the artwork in our house, and that’s exactly how we feel about Marilyn’s work. We are still struggling to pick which images to hang on our walls. Marilyn’s offering of both digital and film was also so fun and unique, and we chose to add folm onto both our engagement shoot and wedding day- totally worth it. Beyond her work being beautiful, she’s also incredibly communicative, quick to answer, and very organized. She always made herself available to us and was the perfect choice for two people who hate being the center of attention. We also did a pre wedding engagement shoot which Marilyn designed and chose the locations for, and it was epic. We love the photos from our engagement and wedding, and would definitely hire Marilyn again if ever we have an occasion for it! In terms of cost, of course that’s all going to depend on your specific budget, but my wife and I felt that Marilyn’s cost for her services was incredibly fair and appropriate, and we definitely would have spent ever more because we were passionate about working with her. When it came to the actual day of the wedding, Marilyn was super flexible and easy going! We absolutely recommend her, especially if you’re having a smaller wedding and love photos that are authentic to the day!

Thalia Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (33 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $9,000
  • Serves Ridgewood, NY
  • Offer

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Thalia in a professional setting and after meeting her, we connected on social media and for YEARS I knew I wanted to work with her in some capacity (ideally my wedding :)). Fast forward to getting engaged this year, I had the opportunity to hire her to photograph our city hall wedding. The photographs were everything I imagined and more but what was even better was experiencing what being in front of her camera felt like. She truly has a gift for making you feel comfortable, forget that she’s there, while still providing guidance when needed. Thalia is quick on her feet and knew how to maximize our time with her when plans on our timeline had to shift a little. She asked important questions prior to our ceremony and offered great suggestions when we needed them. She also offered solutions when I got a little carried away with my vision and started dreaming up a photo shoot that would just push our time limits (which I appreciated). If you love her work and her images, I promise you won’t regret your decision of hiring her!

Manai was so communicative. We started with a nearly 2 hour video call. He was so good about making sure he understood our vision. We had several emails afterwards to get his help with our schedule and other vendors. We had a final 1 hour call just before the wedding to finalize all of the details. 10 out of 10. Manai knows his stuff and it felt good on the day of my wedding realizing we hired the right person. He pretty much knew everything that was happening even before it happened. I'm a pretty anxious person so it was nice having someone to kind of help guide the day along. Thank you Manai! Wishing you so much success. You deserve it!

I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Where can we even start with Kara…. We are obsessed. We first booked her for our engagement photoshoot, and the moment we returned home from our shoot, we reached out to her and booked her for our wedding because we couldn’t imagine our day with anyone else. Throughout our entire wedding experience, Kara made us feel so comfortable and natural. She goes above and beyond to get to know you as a more than just clients, and really treats you like friends that she deeply cares about. By the time our wedding, we were so excited to have Kara around as our trusted photographer AND friend. Her work is truly stunning, and all of our photos from both engagement and the wedding are more gorgeous than we could have ever dreamed of! Booking Kara will be the easier vendor choice you make for your wedding, and we would choose her a million times over if we could (and we will, because she better be ready for us to call on her for photos for the rest of our lives!!).

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Michelle as our wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience and the results. From the very beginning, Michelle’s communication was clear, timely, and thoughtful—she was always available to answer questions, offer guidance, and help us feel completely at ease throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, we were hit with non-stop raining, but Michelle handled it with complete professionalism and grace. She stayed calm, adapted quickly, and even managed to turn the rainy weather into a beautiful part of our story. Her creativity and positive attitude helped keep everyone relaxed, and the photos she captured in the rain are some of our absolute favorites. Michelle’s attention to detail is truly exceptional—she caught all the little in-between moments that made the day so special, along with the big, emotional highlights. The final photos are absolutely stunning and exceeded all of our expectations. She has a true gift for storytelling through her lens, and we feel so lucky to have these memories so beautifully preserved. I couldn’t recommend her more, thank you for everything!

Veil & Film was the perfect choice for our wedding photography and videography. From the beginning, their communication was efficient, precise and incredibly patient as we navigated the many details of our big day. On the wedding day, their team proved to be hardworking, creative and dignified in their approach. They were very accommodating when our timeline shifted, and if we requested specific themed photos, they had additional creative shots in mind on the spot which was so impressive. We were tearfully happy when we received the final photos and videos - it was like reliving the whole wedding all over again. We are currently expecting and will definitely be using Veil & Film to capture our baby shower as well. This amazing team truly helped make our special day unforgettable.

Georgia photographed our wedding and did an incredible job. From the start, we knew we would be in good hands, but we were completely blown away by how much we loved the final photos. Georgia perfectly captured one of the most important days of our lives. She was attentive, and not a single moment went unnoticed. A standout memory for us was when she gently and respectfully whisked us outside the reception hall to snap a photo just as the sun peeked through after a rainy afternoon — it was an unforgettable moment we’ll cherish forever. Hiring Georgia Panagi as your wedding photographer is a decision you can't go wrong with. Not only is she incredibly talented, but her pricing is fair, and she was always communicative before, during, and after the wedding. We couldn't be happier with our experience

I believe great photography is made when moments of humanity are captured, especially in just the right light. Weddings require a photographer who can capture it all: portraits, tender moments, unexpected moments, touching stories, warm family relationships, beautiful venues, dancing, and sometimes even sparklers! Photographing weddings is exciting, challenging, satisfying, and never boring! I'll work closely with you to make the best of it. ~ Tom

Tom was an absolutely AMAZING photographer! He was patient with all of the chaos ensuing in my parent’s home, he was down to earth, also, he was funny and so sweet! The photos that he took at our wedding are incredible, that you can see he has an artistic eye! He was on time for every occasion, and even wanted us to squeeze in a few more photos while the reception was occurring since the sun was setting! I saw that he worked really well with the videographer too! He was observant about everything. I am so glad I had Tom as my wedding photographer.

To date, there are only two images of me as a child. The first is my passport photo at the age of 1.5 months, the second is an image of me at the age of 8. Because of this, I have a deeper understanding, value and passion for photographs and imagery. With that said, I purchased my first camera at the age of 16 with my first paycheck! (used to flip burgers at a local Roy Rogers!). With that camera, I quickly learned how much I loved the art of documenting life with imagery and in 2012, I left a 16 year career in healthcare to follow my dream of becoming a photographer. I haven't looked back one day since then.

My family has been working with Natasha from Nidji Photography for the past eleven years. From my grand-niece's wedding, eleven years ago, to my brother-in-law's 100th. birthday celebration, plus many other events. And occasionally when she is unavailable, we have also had the opportunity to work with other companies. Comparatively speaking, no other photographer will take the time to position and pose every single guest/family member when it comes to family portraits. Most (if not all) will only say "ok, look at the camera" and that's it, without any regard to how they actually look. No other photographer will work for FREE just because they love their job (or a particular client! Yes, she photographs two free weddings every year! And no other photographer will stay until the very end of your event just to make sure they don't miss those extra special moments during your event. Lastly, no other photographer will say "no" to another client who's willing to pay more. That means, when you book her, you are 100% guaranteed that she will be the one photographing your event. Even with the occasional delay DUE TO HEALTH REASONS, we will continue to work with Nidji Photography for as long as possible and if you truly value the art of photography, I strongly recommend you work with this company.
