A dream has recently come true, that of joining my destiny with my partner from now until old age. We are extremely grateful that we had Ioana with us, who honored us with her glamorous, sweet, cinematic style. Every time we go through the photos, we feel as if we are watching the most successful film of 2023, a masterpiece. There were moments that my husband and I forgot to prepare, being caught in the moment and the stress of the event tho Ioana gave us the wonderful surprise of capturing incredible and intimate pieces of memories . Her work manages to impress us everytime we watch our photos and make us feel loved and beautiful. Therefore, I recommend Mrs. Ioana Stavar with all my trust and love. I am sure that she will take care of you, with as much passion as she has for photography!

When I came across Rebecca's website and portfolio I was immediately smitten. Her style was so beautiful and unique, and exactly what I was hoping to find for our wedding.

  • Serves Shelter Island, NY

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
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 :).

From candid shots to posed portraits, I work closely with each client to understand their vision and deliver photographs that truly reflect their unique style and personality. With years of experience and a commitment to excellence, my photography business is dedicated to providing exceptional service and stunning images that will be cherished for years to come.

We absolutely loved working with Lana and cannot recommend her enough. From our engagement session through our wedding day, she was efficient, professional, and such a calming, confident presence. She coached us in a way that felt natural and comfortable, and she has an incredible eye for lighting. Our sunset photos in particular are stunning. Lana navigated the mixed weather on our wedding day effortlessly, from gray skies to bright sun to the bright sunset behind us. She made all of our family and friends feel at ease, and she was quick, intentional, and respectful of everyone’s time so no one ever felt stuck in photos for too long. Most importantly, our photos look like us. We wanted images true to who we are and true to the day we had, not overly filtered or edited, and Lana delivered exactly that. Every photo is beautiful, heartfelt, and authentic. We also ordered our album through her, and it is truly gorgeous: thick, sturdy lay-flat pages and such high quality that it already feels like a family heirloom. We would recommend Lana a thousand times over. We are so grateful for how she captured every moment and emotion from our wedding day.

I am a lifestyle photographer and i specialize in weddings. I love color, natural light, and love. I am drawn toward clients that like to let go and have fun!

She is creative with her shots and is able to find the best pose and angle for the couple which makes it easier for a videographer to shoot.

I created Capture by Alex to offer journalistic, natural, and stress-free wedding photography here on Long Island. My photography style avoids bossy posing, stuffy wedding day portrait sessions, and interruptions during your first dance. I approach each wedding as if it's my last chance to capture the moment because, in a way, it is. By the end of the night, your dress may no longer be pristine, and your partner may no longer be wearing their tie (or shirt). But you'll have photos that allow you to relive the day again and again. Contact me at capture by alex DOT com

Where to begin- Alex is an amazing, kind and talented human who is an incredible professional and so fun to work with. Our day was perfectly captured and I’ve received so many amazing reviews on both the pictures and his overall demeanor and professionalism throughout the day. Alex truly is the best of the best and I am so happy we booked him!!

I am a queer, New York City-based photographer documenting candid joy and human connection. Drawn to emotion and the beauty in everyday moments, I approach my work with mindfulness and intuition – balancing gentle guidance with an observational presence. What I value most about my job is the ability to connect with people and witness their stories unfold in raw, vulnerable ways. I hope that my work is a reflection of these moments: honest, emotive, and intentionally seen.

Awarded Best of Zola
When searching for a documentary-style wedding photographer, I was completely lost in the sea of endless Instagram profiles. Finding Emma's was like hitting the photographer jackpot. Capturing genuine moments is her specialty. Aside from the obligatory family portraits, we didn’t give Emma any specific direction, yet she managed to capture every single special moment perfectly. To say that my husband, our friends, family, and I are amazed by the photos she has shared with us so far would be an understatement. “Superb, phenomenal, stunning, magazine-worthy” are just a few of the words our friends and family have used to describe our photos. The attention to detail is unparalleled. Emma is professional, efficient, kind, talented, and truly everything you need in a wedding photographer. We could not be happier and highly recommend her!

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Mary for our engagement photos and were absolutely thrilled with the results. She made us feel at ease right away, and we ended up with so many photos that looked (and felt!) so comfortable and so "us." There were no moments that felt awkward or posed, and she took the time to make sure we had captured many memories we'll cherish for a lifetime. We ended up getting married abroad, but if we had stayed local we would have been thrilled to work with Mary again for the big day itself. We can't recommend her highly enough!

Steve was our photographer for our wedding a couple of weeks ago. Upon our first meeting, you could tell how detail-oriented and passionate he was about making our day special. Throughout the process, he was attentive and always answered our questions promptly! He has so many elements throughout the process that truly make you feel special. On the wedding day, I was so impressed with how he was able to get all the discussed photos with family members done swiftly and on time. He had great creative direction and was able to pivot when previously discussed shots were unattainable due to the weather. I can not recommend Heritage House enough! The whole team is so talented!

Words can’t fully express how incredible Destiny and Mac are. (Mac is her soon to be husband videographer @the.flamekeepers) Not only as talented professionals, but as genuinely kind and thoughtful people. From the moment they arrived at our venue, they went above and beyond. Mac immediately began learning and writing down the names of everyone in the bridal party, while Destiny jumped in to help tidy the bridal suite to ensure every photo looked perfect. We didn’t have the most hands-on coordinator, but Destiny and Mac didn’t miss a beat. They seamlessly stepped in, kept everything on track, and made sure we captured every moment we hoped for and so many we didn’t even think to ask for. Their calm, can-do attitude and dedication to making our day special was felt by everyone. Throughout the night, guests and our wedding party couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were. And once we saw the sneak peeks of the photos and video they shared absolutely stunning and the praise only grew louder. We are beyond grateful to have had Destiny and Mac with us on our big day. They are true professionals and even better people. Please book with them you will not regret it!!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Hi, I'm Danny! My passion is to capture couples & their love story in a timeless way. I like to describe my style as a fusion between story-telling & editorial. I lean into true-to-life colors with a warm ambience and posing that's timeless but also interwoven with an editorial flare that's unique, artistic, and stylish. I also love incorporating story-telling stills that involve movement rather than a bunch of photos that feel "stiff" or overly posed. Story-telling moments bring wedding galleries life! I’d love the opportunity to connect with you, and hear more about your wedding vision!!

We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures!

Carly and Elliot from A Nomadic Love are truly one of a kind. They photographed one of our best friend’s weddings in 2019, another in 2023, and then ours in 2025, and we honestly couldn’t fathom having anyone else capture these moments. Their photos are truly unmatched. A Nomadic Love was the very first vendor I booked, long before I knew anything else about our wedding, because they were my one and only non-negotiable! Their style and editing speak for themselves, but what makes them even more special is who they are as people. They are so much fun to be around, they instantly make you feel comfortable, and seamlessly guiding you through each shot. They make everything so much fun, that you don't even really notice you are being photographed. Every experience I’ve had with them has been exceptional. Our wedding photos are beyond what we could have imagined, and we are still trying to narrow down which ones to print because every single one is that good. We’ve gotten endless compliments from family, friends, and are so happy with how our special day was documented through photo. Carly and Elliot are unlike any other, and we could not recommend them more

He's THE BEST, don't think twice, just hire him. He is super professional, always answered our questions about the shooting quickly, even on weekends, arrived at the photo location ahead of schedule, and was extremely friendly.

He took the photos with excellence, paying attention to the angles I wanted and being attentive to details. He corrected the posture, the bouquet, the ring, and the hair; I've never seen a photographer as dedicated as him. The angles he suggested were incredible, the photo editing was super fast and wonderful, and they looked like the cover of Vogue!

Seven years later, I’m still using the photo Nebu took of me. It’s the best headshot I’ve ever had, even though I’ve paid other photographers since and haven’t loved any of them the same way. I would recommend Nebu 10,000% and he’s such a genuinely good person, which makes the whole experience comfortable and easy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer is a big deal—truly one of the decisions that can make or break your entire experience. We met Nathan at the very beginning of our journey, during our engagement shoot at the Biltmore Estate. We were both nervous, awkward, and completely unsure of what to expect. Then Nathan arrived, and everything changed. Within minutes he had us laughing, relaxed, and genuinely enjoying ourselves. That was the moment we knew he wasn’t just talented—he was special. So when it came time to choose someone to capture our wedding in Sedona, we took a chance and asked if he would fly out. Honestly, we thought it was a long shot… but he immediately said yes. And thank goodness he did. I will never forget the moment he walked into the room on my wedding day. I had just started feeling that wave of nerves while finishing my hair, and the instant Nathan stepped in, I felt completely at ease. How does he do that? He has this quiet magic about him—an ability to ground you, hype you up, and disappear into the background all at once. His passion is infectious. His eye for intimate, meaningful moments is unreal. And somehow, while capturing every single one of those moments, he manages to remain practically invisible. When we received our gallery, we both laughed, cried, and sat there in awe. It felt like reliving the day, but through the lens of someone who truly understood us. To put it simply: Nathan is gifted. Exceptionally, unmistakably gifted. We even showed our engagement photos to another top-tier photographer, and her reaction was: “Book him immediately. His editing is some of the most incredible work I’ve seen—I want to talk to him myself!” If you're reading reviews trying to decide who to trust with your memories, stop here. You’ve found the one. Nathan exceeded every expectation we had—and then ten more we didn’t even know we should have. He is the best of the best.

Shelby’s ability to understand our vision and bring it to life through her photography was truly remarkable and we felt completely at ease knowing she was there to capture every special moment of our big day. Her photos were very natural and candid, which we absolutely loved because they captured the pure joy and love we all felt on that day. Shelby went above and beyond to ensure our memories were beautifully preserved and returned our full wedding gallery with a very quick turnaround, allowing us to relive our special moments sooner than expected.
