Bitsy Lemon Studio 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Howard Beach, NY
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $900

What’s a Wedding Content Creator (and why you need one)? Hi, I’m Karina, and my role is to capture your wedding in the most personal way possible. Unlike traditional photographers or videographers, I focus on creating behind-the-scenes, candid, and social-media-ready content of your day. Think of me as your best friend with a camera—documenting the laughter in the bridal suite, the tears before the aisle, the spontaneous dance floor moments, and all the little details that make your wedding uniquely yours.

Bitsy Lemon Studio was an extraordinary wedding content creator choice for our special day. Their communication was clear, easy and simple, which made the entire process a breeze. The quality of their work and talent is truly exceptional - they captured every moment beautifully, including all the little details I asked them to focus on, like the ceremony. Having a content creator there in addition to the main photographer was 10000% worth it, as they were able to capture so many amazing moments that I wouldn't have wanted to miss. We are thrilled with the final photos and could not recommend Bitsy Lemon Studio highly enough.

Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (47 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500
  • Serves Howard 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
We have worked with Marilyn for mini sessions, engagement photos, and our wedding. Each time, Marilyn never ceases to amaze us with her ability to capture timeless photos that feel like us. Over the past few years, during the mini sessions and engagement shoot we did with Marilyn, she made us so comfortable in front of her camera. When it came to taking our portraits at our wedding, it felt like second nature - something that wouldn’t have happened with just any photographer. On our wedding day, the group photos flowed seamlessly, and it felt like they took no time at all. Marilyn captured our wedding day so beautifully, we truly can’t stop looking at the photos. She delivered a gallery that has the perfect blend of posed portraits and documentary style shots of the day. There is not a single photo in our wedding gallery that we dislike. Whether it’s for a casual couples shoot or your wedding, we highly recommend Marilyn - you will not regret it!

Just wanted to take out the time to highlight what an amazing DJ Kenny is. We have never met a DJ as meticulous & thorough as Kenny! We originally intended to just keep it simple w/ a curated playlist & BT speaker. But for our 20th, why not have a DJ!? Kenny scheduled appointments not only with my wife & I in preparation of the party, but he also coordinated time w/ our MC, photographer, etc. He made sure that he, along with the other hired services, worked seamlessly with each other. If you're second guessing whether or not to hire a DJ, STOP GUESSING! Do yourself a favor and get w/ DJ Kenny. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED AT ALL! You're the best Bro, we appreciate you!

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!

Sound River Studios was the perfect venue for our May 2024 wedding! We had not initially considered a raw space for our wedding reception. However, after meeting with Una and discussing the seemingly infinite possibilities for the space (along with soaking in the spectacular views of NYC), we were completely sold on the venue. We are so glad we made the choice to celebrate our wedding at Sound River Studios! We took advantage of the dock at the venue and had our guests arrive to cocktail hour by boat which was a unique highlight. The dock is also a beautiful spot for photos! Una was beyond helpful in the planning process and she was always available to answer any questions we had or to brainstorm ideas with us and our vendors. We would highly recommend Sound River Studios to any couple looking to have a memorable NYC wedding!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let me start by saying my wedding was a tall order! I wanted a wedding that was gothic, elegant, Victorian-inspired, dark, and moody. We were going for gothic without it being “scare grandma” gothic! And to make it a step harder, our wedding was in a very modern looking building in Manhattan. And to make it even one step harder, my husband and I are based in Ireland. Lauren completely understood my vision and designed the most beautiful wedding I have ever seen. We had so many friends and family approach us about how beautiful the decor was, and even multiple members of staff and various vendors saying they have never seen the venue look so amazing. Her attention to detail is beyond phenomenal and everything is done with such thoughtfulness and due diligence. Lauren was so organised throughout the entire wedding planning process. She helped us look for the best vendors, she went to view different tablecloth landscapes and furniture when we couldn’t (again, we live abroad!) and kept me up to date every step of the way without bombarding us so we could continue to regulate life outside of wedding planning. I have recommended Lauren multiple times to newly engaged friends, and will continue to recommend City and Terrace in the future! You truly cannot get a better wedding planner who listens to the couples’ wants and needs, understands, and most importantly keeps you calm and organised through the chaotic planning process! Her attention to detail is phenomenal. I highly recommend.

Working with Greta for our February 2025 wedding was a dream come true. From the moment we met with her (and even before we signed a contract with her) she was incredibly supportive and helpful. If you want someone who is going to take care of every detail before you can even think to ask about them, she's your girl. From our first call, my husband and I knew we would be working with her. She has such a calming demeanor but she's also incredibly resourceful and uses her knowledge and abilities to the max. Having no family in the area, I really had to lean on her for a lot more than I thought I might, especially when I was having issues with my wedding dress. She even came with me to pick it up the first time!! Greta has so many connections and really knows her stuff when it comes to weddings. She'll be real with you about what's possible within your budget and she really helped us stay within ours - she has a great system that she provides you access to. I could go on and on about how amazing she is. I'm just sad that our wedding is now over and we won't have a reason to connect! We love you Greta!!!!

Vivian from Vivian Pang Floral Creative brought our floral dreams to life and then some. We wanted something romantic with a touch of whimsy and Afro-Caribbean influence, and she absolutely nailed it. My bouquet was stunning…a literal dream. The tablescapes were pure magic. What impressed me most was Vivian’s creative vision. She took time to really understand our vibe and worked seamlessly with our planner to design something that felt unique and deeply personal. The way she incorporated coconut shells and cocoa beans into the decor was such a thoughtful, unexpected touch that tied everything together beautifully. Every detail felt intentional and artful. Vivian doesn’t just create floral arrangements she creates experiences. I can’t recommend her enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
My wedding was this past weekend, and I still want to shout Amanda's praises from every rooftop! Hire her now! We had a complex wedding design: a full three-night, four-day weekend with several different spaces and layouts involved, and different guest lists for each day. Amanda handled everything masterfully. Every detail was exactly as we imagined (and more!), and she was a true joy to work with. My mother and I have different working styles and visions, and somehow Amanda found a way to meet both of our needs at each turn and help us avoid any conflict with one another. Amanda is highly detail-oriented and has a way of handling so many things "behind the scenes" and well in advance of the wedding - including crafting much of the decor and guest gifts weeks in advance, then personally transporting them to the wedding. It was efforts like this that really set her apart from other planners -- measurably reducing our stress each moment and taking things off our very full plates. We will genuinely miss speaking and working with Amanda. Our only regret was not hiring her sooner - she joined us after we had personally booked our venue and a handful of vendors, but having her with us earlier would have only enhanced our planning process.

Dj Sparkx Entertainment was an incredible experience from start to finish. From our initial contact to the post-wedding follow-up, he was consistently professional and attentive. Our wedding took place in December 2024, just a few days after Christmas—a timing that had both its challenges and blessings. Despite the busy holiday season, Dj Sparkx took the time to thoroughly go over all our preferences and ensure everything was perfectly planned for our big day. On the wedding day, he exceeded all our expectations. Our guests are still raving about how engaging he was and how skillfully he played music that resonated with both sides of our family. Dj Sparkx masterfully balanced the Caribbean spice with the classic American hits, making the event enjoyable for everyone. He is versatile and does his research for any cultural background! He also made it a point to ensure that my husband and I had time on the dance floor and enjoyed ourselves. What stood out the most was how collaborative he was throughout the process. He listened to our ideas, shared his expert opinions, and every suggestion he made elevated our wedding to another level. Trusting a vendor with one of the most important days of your life can be daunting, but my advice is simple: trust Dj Sparkx! The photobooth was also a fantastic addition. Dj Sparkx added a special touch by surprising us with a photo album filled with messages from our guests—a keepsake we’ll treasure forever. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to work with Dj Sparkx. He is professional, cost-efficient, and, most importantly, an absolute joy to work with. Highly recommended!

Hi, I’m Dawa. With a background in fine arts and over 200 celebrations captured, I view your wedding day as a living story. My approach blends journalistic honesty with a refined editorial touch, creating a relaxed experience that lets you stay present. I’m a big believer in being flexible and keeping the energy light because when you’re having fun and feeling at ease, that’s when the most effortless, timeless moments happen. While I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold, I’ll also gently guide you with poses and direction when needed, so you never feel awkward or unsure in front of the camera.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Kinjo and Dawa for our September wedding in Cape Cod this year. To say we are thrilled with the whole experience of working with them - from our first call to getting our photos and video - is an understatement. They are professional and also so fun to work with. Our wedding day was unseasonably HOT, despite these conditions they were moving around capturing everything all day and all night. Something so special is that they stayed until the very end - I know other photographers don't always do this. In showing our photos to our friends and family everyone is absolutely blown away and we've gotten comments like - "These are the best wedding photos I've ever seen," "How did they capture the moment/everyone's personalities so well!?" In being in other weddings recently, I've interacted with a lot of photographers and Kinjo and Dawa are by far the friendliest, most joyful and fun photographers I've interacted with (and trust me, you will want this on your big day - it makes a huge difference!) and their work is top of the line! The only challenge is that it will take months for you to choose which photos to post/put in an album, because they are all SO good! :)

When you spend months communicating through a phone and blindly trust your florist to see the vision through - and she absolutely does!! I cannot express how grateful I was to find Marigolds Florals!! We specifically wanted to support small businesses with a priority on minority/woman owned. Afterall, small businesses and creatives literally keep art, passion, and customer service alive in an economy where everything seems transactional. I am a very particular bride, and Anika never made me feel bad about it. Instead, she thoroughly answered questions, entertained my unique request, and went above the call of duty. We hopped on many calls, shared tons of photos, and the plans changed quite a bit over a span of months. She rocked and rolled the whole way through, and I will never forget patience AND ability to execute that Anika and her team exhibited. From a Philly girl to a NY girl, I am grateful.

Anna did such a great job, she was professional and worked with me to give me the look that I was envisioning. I usually am too scared to wear false lashes because I feel that my eyes are too small for them but she had the perfect pair for me and offered some advice as to what I should look for. She also used this beautiful purple liner that made my eyes pop- she really knows her stuff and how to enhance your features. She was also such a pleasure to work with.

Petite Fleur Cake was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication was always clear, punctual, and easy throughout the entire planning process. We wanted a Chinese-style wedding cake, with lots of red and gold, and white accents for contrast. The final product was simply perfect: the cake was gorgeously decorated, moist and soft, and tasted absolutely delicious. She designed these adorable longevity peach cake toppers for the bride and groom (IYKYK), and beautiful gold flowers and blossoms. Several of our guests commented that it was the best wedding cake they had ever had, with many even going back for seconds it was so good. The team at Petite Fleur Cake truly contributed to making our special day even more perfect. We would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a stunning and tasty wedding cake.

We originally looked at more “industrial” venues because we wanted that intimate feel and didn’t love catering hall vibes. We found Renaissance as we live close by and loved it once we toured initially. They have the space of a catering hall but the experience of a single party venue. Food was great and we never felt like we were being uncharged/swindled. Even at one point we saw an error on the agreement and Lisa changed it no problem. She was a delight to work with and never made us feel like our ask was so unbelievable. Bridal suite was big enough for 10 people to get ready. Overall nothing but great things to say about Renaissance.

Beauty Refinery NYC was a great choice for my wedding reception. Their communication was direct and timely, which ensured we were on the same page. Kristen was very meticulous with her work so my hair and makeup lasted all afternoon despite the heat and direct sun on our rooftop party.
