Awarded Best of Zola
We had such an easy time working with Enchanted Celebrations staff that I would jump at choosing them again! Blair and Summer were professional, thorough, empathetic and communicated very clearly all the different features of the videography plans so that we felt like we chose the right plan for our wedding day. As time came closer, Summer was diligent at working with us on the details for the day-of, and then a few days before the wedding we confirmed everything with Edwin, our assigned videographer. Edwin’s style was spot-on with what we imagined and the videos came out beautiful and so much quicker than we expected them. We’re delighted with our experience!

Hi there! I am Ioana, a wedding and family photographer. I recently moved my business from Transylvania, Romania, to New York. Your photography experience will feel effortless and personal. My role is to create a relaxed atmosphere, where you can be fully present in your moments: the quiet glances and the happy chaos of your day. I gently guide you when needed, but always leave space for authenticity to unfold naturally.

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!

Wedding Photography by George 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves West Islip, NY

My name is George. I’m a wedding, event, and portrait photographer based in Connecticut. I began my photography journey at the age of 17. In 2009, I attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, NY, where I completed the Fashion Photography program. As an artist, my goal is to create natural images that are full of life and express beauty. I approach each client’s needs with care and creativity—capturing emotions, unique details, and the essence of your story. Professional photographer since 2009 and have photographed over 200 weddings.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

Giving you space and time to enjoy your loved ones, and making your wedding photos feel effortless.

Working with Rajotte Photography was one of the BEST decisions I made when planning my wedding. Marybeth was the photographer at my brother's wedding where I was a bridesmaid. She was so sweet and fun to work with. She even helped answer some questions I had about my own upcoming wedding. The moment I saw the first photo from my brother's wedding I knew I had to book her for mine. Her work is STUNNING! Thankfully, she was available for my wedding date and I was thrilled! The booking process was simple but also personalized. They offered valuable advice about timeline and asked important questions regarding family dynamics, photo idea/requests, and more. Communication was quick and professional and she answered all of my questions. On the day of the wedding, the photographers were on time and so fun to work with. They captured the perfect mix of posed pictures and candids. I have always been pretty self-conscious but Marybeth made me feel like a model on my wedding day and I cannot thank her enough for that! I would absolutely recommend her!! 100/10!

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!!!

Madison incorporates her photojournalistic and editorial style with a laid back approach so you can enjoy every second of your wedding without the added pressure of staged memories (I mean some things have to be posed but we make it fun). She makes sure your day runs smoothly while capturing real, raw moments and makes the photo part "quick and painless" so you can get back to your family and friends to enjoy every detail put in to your event. We specialize in naturally lit and low lit weddings. Flash photography and studio lighting are used as necessary to create clean, artsy images.

Madison is the BEST! The second we met her and saw her in action, her insane natural talent and passion was so clear. As someone who does not love getting my photo taken, she made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I had so much fun taking our wedding photos. We are absolutely thrilled with the results and feel they are all pieces if art that will forever document the best day of our lives. Her presence and energy brought a chill vibe to the day. She had so many creative ideas for places to shoot that made the photos feel unique and special while capturing the vibe of our day so perfectly. Aside from the photos, Madison was super easy to work with, very accessible, straight to the point, and never gave us the runaround like other wedding vendors sometimes can. If you’re thinking of booking with Madison - do it, you won’t regret it!

Mike had a great attitude and made me feel so comfortable that I booked him right away. He gave us a winter discount and the price of the wedding photo came with engagement session. The shoot was amazing we used it as a family shoot since we had our son already and he was so good with him had him smiling the whole time. In less than two weeks, I got all my pictures back, not a preview all 1363 of them!! He captured the day so beautifully!! Him and Hunter (the 2nd photographer) did a freaking phenomenal job!

Hi! My name is Nas :) I fell in love with photography at just 10 years old, when I picked up one of my dad's cameras and instantly connected with the art of capturing life. That same passion today drives my work as a documentary-style photographer. I focus on the raw, candid, and fleeting moments. The ones that may go unnoticed, but can mean the most.

I found Nas on Reddit and I’m so glad I did! She is just getting her start in her career but that was hard to tell from the beautiful, movie-like photos she delivered that captured my finances and my love doing something we love together, walking our dog around our neighborhood in Brooklyn. Nas’ style is very candid with fewer posing prompts; she takes creative shots while also making sure to get all the backgrounds we wanted. It was her first time shooting a dog and she did an amazing job capturing his quirkiness and bouncy walk. She was right on time with the shoot and delivering photos and was responsive via email and text.

I am a Long Island based Wedding & Portrait Photographer that loves a good adventure. I'm the guy who just truly enjoys being behind a camera. I definitely think I got into photography because my Mom always was behind a camera. Most of the time she was the team Mom, and was frequently seen on the sidelines snapping photos of everything she could. It was her interest in photography that led me to appreciate what it takes to create a beautiful photograph.

We can’t recommend Mike enough! Upon initially seeing his work, we had our hearts set on booking him as our photographer and literally based our date on his availability. The entire process, from the initial meeting, to the engagement shoot, drafting a wedding day timeline, and the day itself, was seamless. Both our engagement photos and wedding photos are stunning and we are so in love with them. We’ll be making every excuse to use Mike as our photographer in the future! - Jaclyn and Mike June 22, 2024

Gelfman Photography is a boutique studio that’s led by Matt and Lesley—newlyweds as of December 2023—who both have their Bachelor's in Photography and over ten years of experience in portrait and event work. Wedding photography is a very personal and vulnerable thing. You’re letting newcomers into the innermost circle of one of the biggest days of your life! We strongly feel that your photographers shouldn’t be nameless technicians that were just “assigned” to you. You should be comfortable with them as you would be with friends and feel safe in knowing they’re well-versed in the things that mean the most to you on your big day.

Matt and Lesley from Gelfman Photography are absolutely amazing. They have amazing communication, answering emails and messages very quickly. They are hardworking, honest, and produce beautiful photographs. When our wedding timeline got pushed back, they adjusted the schedule to make sure I got all of my important shots. Their prices are extremely fair, and they have made my whole wedding run so smoothly. I would highly recommend Gelfman Photography to any couple looking for a talented and professional photography team.

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!

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 :).

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!

Janelle Brooke Photography Inc 

5.0

  • Fine art style
  • Serves West Islip, NY

The JBP Team is group of talented artists that all share in the same creative vision of wedding photography led by Janelle Brooke and Terrie Alfieri. Our goal is to provide unparalleled artistic imagery, personalized attention and overall, an exceptional experience to every couple we work with.

Throughout the last year and a half, Janelle has become not just our wedding photographer but a trusted confidant for all things wedding, a shoulder to lean on and a forever friend. That goes for Amy, too. No question has ever been too silly, no idea out of place. From the moment we met Janelle, she just made us feel SO comfortable (and surprisingly, posing for wedding photos with your soon to be spouse is not always the most natural thing). She has an eye for the beauty in simple moments but also knows how to to capture the dreamiest scenes. already knew that Janelle would have our backs, but especially on our wedding day, Janelle was the most calm and centered presence for me and was able to read my mind with just a look at her about what worked and what wasn’t working. But that is what you can expect from working with someone like Janelle- she understands you and makes dreams, truly come true. Because seeing even just our highlight photos this weekend was an experience I will never forget. They were beyond my wildest dreams and I will truly treasure them forever. What I will treasure more, though, is the memories we have of working with Janelle and her team, including Mary, our second shooter of the day, who was able to wrangle all of the groomsmen together and keep them excited and organized, and who also was capturing each and every single detail so beautifully; and Kevin, who was a very much welcome third-shooter who was our personal hype man throughout the entire day, as he was genuinely excited to be with us and was truly up for anything. Literally, the entire team went along with my crazy plea to go outside despite the fact that it was pouring the entire day, but there was a 10 minute block of sun that we chased and thank goodness we did. They also agreed to photograph us in the rain at the end of the night and those pictures, too, are just magical. This review could truly go on forever about how much we love Janelle and her team. If you are lucky enough to be able to book Janelle for your wedding day (or any life event), I promise that it will be the best decision you will make throughout your event planning. Full Stop. Thank you, Janelle, for everything!
