I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

We couldn’t be happier with the incredible work Portraits by Sean did on our wedding day! From start to finish, he was professional, creative, and so easy to work with. Sean stayed until the very end of the night, capturing every special moment without ever making us feel rushed. One of the things we really appreciated was how he worked with the kids—getting them to smile and be comfortable without any stress. Their ability to blend in while also capturing candid, beautiful moments was outstanding. We were blown away by the quality of the photos, and they truly exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend Portraits by Sean to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer to capture the magic of their day!

Hi, I'm Kevin. I love capturing my images with natural light and my favorite time in the day for it would be sunrise and sunset. That's my motivation for my photography.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,000
  • Serves Rockaway Beach, 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
I couldn’t say better things about Marilyn if I tried. She was the first photographer who’s portfolio we fell for in our search, and while trying to budget and explore other options, we made our way back to Marilyn and questioned why we ever even bothered looking anywhere else. We did a round of engagement photos with her first, after an initial zoom to meet and get to know her. From the zoom alone we could tell right away what kind of sweet, wonderful, magical person she was. I felt like I was talking to an old friend immediately. During our engagement shoot, which myself and my now husband were SO nervous for (we are both awkward and camera shy, and I don’t know how to stop running my mouth during photos because of it) she made us laugh SO many times and immediately melted our anxieties away. We knew we made the perfect choice in a person to take care of us on our wedding day in that moment. We have so far received our previews, and we are simply in love. Marilyn captured intimate moments, fun moments, and beautiful, emotional moments that helped us feel like we were reliving our day all over again. She guided us through the day, took us to the best spots, got the photos we asked for, all without either of us having to think about a single thing or logistic at any point. She was on it. She is and was such a treat and added the kindest most comforting attitude and energy to our day, and all of our family and bridal party agree along with us (we got quite a few “where and how did you find her??”s). We also added a second shooter via Marilyn (who was also sincerely lovely) for just one hour, during our pre-ceremony and ceremony, for a little extra coverage and timeline speed, and a roll of film which was so much fun too. If you love artistic and stylized photos, and are seeking someone with both a great eye and wonderful, calming presence, I mean it, look no further. We are so happy we found Marilyn.

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kara is in all things absolutely superlative. That might sound effusive, but I think it risks understatement. My wife and I had the privilege of engaging Kara’s talents for our wedding and it's difficult to convey how delightful working with Kara is and how happy we are with the photos that she took; language goes only so far. Picture me wild and gesticulating with glee, saying ‘look at this one, no look at *this* one!’ in sequence, for each and every photo of the wedding. I have Kara to thank for that, for these captured moments that I treasure over anything else. To get results like that I think you need to be an artist of considerable talent, a detail-oriented business owner, a capable director of unpracticed models, and to very much love what you do. I can say that all of these things are true about Kara: her work speaks for itself, her appointments are kept, her communications are prompt, detailed, and delightful, her directions while shooting ease you adroitly into your best angles, and her eye catches magic when you’ve forgotten about the camera entirely. Kara is a genius who will get you out of your head and into your heart, she is an absolute joy to work with, and I can’t recommend her photography enough.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

While continuing to work in the television & movie industry for several decades, I ventured into photography. My career focused on the moving image but my heart sought the individual moments, the individual frames. The perspectives were the same; to better understand how light and shadows help tell a story and define a moment. This is now a pursuit to help you document your priceless moments & story.

Larry went above & beyond to capture the best day of our lives. Besides being timely and professional, he was so kind. He put us at ease and kept the process of taking pictures fun, even when my dress became uncomfortable later in the day. Our wedding guests loved Larry and he got such beautiful candid shots of them. I look at his pictures and I still get a little teary!

Whether you’re leafing through your family’s photo album or choosing an image to introduce yourself to the world, a photo has the ability to cement a memory and make a statement. My mission is to share everyone’s statements and memories through my visual storytelling.

Shanté is magnificent. From the beginning, we connected well, stayed on the same page, and had great energy together. She was timely and considerate, which was perfect since we had the typical wedding day emergencies! She kept us calm when we showed up after expectations, and made the experience fun and joyful so that we could serve face for our special moments. She stayed on point through the entire experience, including weaving in a photo walk around some of my favorite places as we made our way back to the venue from the main photo location. I felt taken care of, supported, and most of all, seen by the person I trusted to have a vision of the day. I can’t be more enthusiastic and grateful about the experience Shanté gave me and my new husband. I never plan to do this again, but if I did, she would be at the top of the list of vendors to call! She and her assistant poured kindness into our day, and it was delightful to return the favor.

Loretta Rodriguez Co

  • Serves Rockaway Beach, NY

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

Hello! I am Ioana, a wedding and family photographer. I recently moved my business from Transylvania, Romania, to New York. Yes, Transylvania is a real place, and no, I can't tell you if I’m a vampire... I signed a pledge, of course. Oops, did I just blow my cover? Anyway, back to why you're here:

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!

Colby Blount is an award winning fashion and wedding photographer. Born and raised in Georgia and now calls New York home. He loves merging a stylized vision with a photojournalist eye to help tell stories that feel real and authentic.

We loved working with Colby as he made our work seem effortless, he knew the timeline almost by heart and followed it by the dot. We was always very gracious to help us with crunching or extending time here and there to make each moment of the wedding special! Besides it all, we absolutely love the end results with the pictures, super artistic eye and helped us show our work
