I am so glad we used Mat as our wedding photographer. He is both professional but friendly and was able to make myself and my family comfortable while posing! His work is stunning, he knows what he’s doing! From knowing all the pictures we wanted to take, to having the timeline down so he knew where to be when, he surpassed our expectations and we are so grateful he was available for our big day!

I am typically a Type B person in my life, but when it came to our wedding day, I wanted everything to be exactly how I wanted it. This included researching quite literally hundreds of photographers. As a super DIY wedding, I wanted to be able to look back on our photos and be able to relive it without it feeling overly filtered or untrue to how it was in real life. When we came across Fireside Sparrow, not only did the style of photography stand out to us as authentic, but you could just feel that Stephanie was authentic as well. She and Steve fit our vibe perfectly leading up to and the day of our wedding. Her attention to detail and ability to be professional but also feel like your number one fan made our wedding day run so smoothly. They’re now a part of our story forever. I highly recommend Fireside Sparrow Photography!!!

Hello there! My name is Brittany and I am so glad you stopped by! I will be the one answering your late night emails, making you laugh during your engagement session, pulling teasers within hours of seeing you, and documenting every precious moment during your wedding day. I have been fantasizing about my own wedding day since I was about three years old and continue to be just as excited about everything wedding related today. I am a crazy cat lady, soon to be wife, and absolute Office fanatic.

Brittany is amazing! She is so talented as a photographer, and she's also an expert at weddings! While planning, I was most nervous about the timeline of the day, and Brittany helped me with all of that! She created the timeline for the day, and I had nothing to worry about. Brittany arrived right on time, and she was so organized and calm. We discussed a portrait list before the wedding, so Brittany knew exactly which shots we wanted. My family was so impressed with her! My husband and I felt so comfortable in front of the camera, and Brittany encouraged us to have fun and laugh. We don't look posed in any of our photos. Brittany has a way of making everyone look natural!

When I was going through photographers, all the ones with the style I wanted were extremely expensive. All the other photographers in my budget had very outdated photography styles and had corny photos. JT is the only photographer I found that worked with my budget and had outstanding photos! My fiancé and I immediately booked him and we had beautiful engagement photos done. We recently received some wedding highlight photos and I couldn't imagine better wedding pictures! JT was with us from the beginning of preparation (around 12pm) till the end of our night (around 10pm). He was great to work with and my husband can't stop looking at the photos!

Patken Photographer

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,100
  • Serves Riverhead, NY

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!

Before I was a photographer, I grew up in the wedding industry. Spending my summers surrounded by tulle, sewing machines, and brides-to-be. Long Island has been my home my whole my life and I’m always reminded that I’m never to far from the beach and fall is the best weather. I went to college at Stony Brook University studying business and marketing and keeping photography as my hobby. I chose to name my company Papillon Photography, Papillon in French means butterfly’s. Butterfly’s are significant to most and when I shoot couples, families, product or I’m behind the scenes editing the images are being transformed into something beautiful.

His communication style was attentive, rapid, understanding, and personal - they truly listened to our vision and needs for our special day. The quality of their work and value was outstanding, as they were attentive, detailed, knowledgeable, flexible, and family-oriented.

I’m Felisha, an Award Winning - Published New England Wedding + Portrait photographer with the honor of capturing love stories and cherished moments across New England since 2013. Photography isn’t just my career—it’s the way I connect with people, turning clients into dear friends and fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll find me soaking up life with my high school sweetheart, our beautiful daughter, and our two chocolate Labradors. My heart beats for real, authentic moments—the kind where love and laughter come effortlessly.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our goal for wedding photos was to be transported back to our wedding day - more of a storytelling style than formal portraits. Felisha totally nailed it, and somehow managed to capture some extra magic in there too. Leading up to the wedding, Felisha was great at helping us feel comfortable with her, and we’re usually camera shy! We felt like we made a new friend! We weren’t planning to do a “first look”, but after how much we loved our engagement photos we decided to add that element to our wedding day as an excuse to get more time with Felisha and have some more Amazing portraits. During the wedding, Felisha and her second shooter were totally professional and unobtrusive - we didn’t notice them doing their thing, and neither did our guests. She was fun to work with, super on top of everything, and the results speak for themselves. We’re already dreaming up other life events that we might want to have professionally photographed, as an excuse to work with her again!

She made the elopement process so easy! We picked our location off her advice :) We also had snow hit the day of our elopement and since it was just my husband & I plus the photographers, (Dani & Jed), she let us adjust our elopement time to get the best experience in the elements. They also followed my husband & I to our restaurant where we had dinner and took some amazing candid photos our first dinner as husband and wife. Such an incredible team and incredible experience.

Hey there, I'm Jordany Almonte, but you can call me "Jordan" – a friendly guy based in the state of New Jersey with a passion for life and a big heart for family. I take immense pride in being a devoted husband and a proud father; they are the driving force behind everything I do. To me, photography is more than just capturing images; it's a way of feeling, touching, and loving the world around me. What I capture in the film holds the essence of the moment, preserving memories that we can cherish forever. Those little things, often overlooked, can bring floods of emotions long after our other memories have faded.

If you're in the NJ/NY area, Jordan is fantastic to work with on your special day. No detail is overlooked, and he's great at capturing the most special moments. His professionalism is unmatched, the quality of the photos and editing is phenomenal, and he's very down to earth - helping bride, groom, wedding party, and family feel comfortable in front of the camera lens. He's open to your needs and what shots you would prefer on your big day - even thinking of ones you didn't know you wanted. If you're the type of couple like us who didn't want to spend the entire day in front of the camera but with family and friends, Jordan is great at capturing candid moments as well. We received a few sneak peeks of his work within a few days post-wedding, and we can't get enough! Very grateful to have him on our team.

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

They traveled with us to multiple locations to make sure we got shots in all our favorite spots, and did their best to make sure everyone in our wedding party and both families were included and having a great time. If I could give them more stars, I absolutely would! Bright Light Studios is the best wedding photography team we could have asked for.

Hi! I’m Allison, the heart behind Allison Barrett Photography. I specialize in capturing wedding-day beauty across Newport, Rhode Island and all over New England. My approach goes beyond just taking pretty pictures—I create an experience that becomes part of the memory itself. I’m there to support you through the day, help keep things running smoothly, and capture every genuine moment, laugh, and happy tear along the way. From getting ready with your crew to those just-married golden hour portraits, I’m there with a camera in one hand and a calming presence in the other. Let’s create something beautiful together.

My photographer was the vendor I cared most about - I love photos, and you are going to have these wedding photos capturing those once in a lifetime moments forever! Initially I was nervous to go with Allison because I did not know anybody personally who had used her, but I loved her photos and read lots of great reviews from people online. I went ahead and booked her anyways and it was the best decision I made for our wedding! Learn from me - trust the random people you don't know online (like me!) saying that she is AMAZING!!! We did an engagement shoot and she was super accommodating with changing dates last minute - the weather wasn't looking good for our scheduled date and she knew how badly I wanted sunset photos, so she went out of her way and offered me a spot that opened up for her on a different day last minute! I talked with her beforehand about my vision for the photos and she really listened, making my vision come to life and even surpassing what I had hoped. We absolutely loved our photos and used them for both our save-the-dates and guest book (not to mention our Christmas cards that year too!). Leading up to the wedding, Allison was on top of everything, making my life much less stressful as the big day got closer. She scheduled a phone meeting where we made a detailed outline of the day and made sure she had all the shots I wanted listed so that we wouldn't miss any in the chaos of the day. Did I say chaos of the day? On my wedding day, Allison was a true professional and made my experience not chaotic at all! She arrived early and got right to work on detail shots and coming up with ideas for getting ready photos. I had a large bridal party with lots of big personalities and lots of family for photos, but Allison coordinated everyone seamlessly and blended right in with her laid back and enthusiastic personality. She always asked us before trying to pull us away for couple photos and made sure to grab us at the perfect time for golden hour/sunset photos - my favorite! Truly couldn't have asked for more from her that day. At the end of the wedding night, she even sent me TWO sneak peak edited photos which was so exciting to see. Allison sent the rest of our sneak peak photos very shortly after the wedding and there were TONS - way more than I was expecting. And then our full album was also delivered super quickly thereafter. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I "OMG-ed", laughed, cried, and literally gasped while scrolling through our album for the first time. Allison captured every moment perfectly with so many natural and candid photos (while also getting the more standard, classic, posed shots too). There are so many photos that capture so many little moments between my husband and me throughout the day that I truly will cherish forever. I could not have asked for more from a photographer or from my photos. Book Allison! You will not regret it - trust this online stranger :)

Anchor & Lace delivered!!! Alexis and Keith were beyond wonderful to work with. Not only did they absolutely kill it when it came to the photos they also helped the day run more smoothly. Seriously, whether it be helping with broken wristlets or shuffling people around to help get things done. They were thoughtful in their follow up to ensure that the editing of the photos aligned with our vision. We couldn't be happier with how the photos turned out, they truly captured the warmth, love and good vibes that were radiating throughout the day.

Hi, I’m Trina! A fine art style wedding photographer based in Washington D.C. My passion for the art of photography runs deep. My style is influenced by mid-century editorial fashion photography and European Renaissance Art. Rooted in the art of idyllic narration, my work captures your love story through a lens that mixes elegance, sophistication, and modernism with a twinge of romantic nostalgia. At the heart of Verdandi is a love affair with nuance, empathy, and impactful photographic composition. Let’s create a beautiful work of art together!
