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!

Rachel Leiner Photography

Merrick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

My name's Rachel, but most people call me Rach. I'm a laugher. I talk a little too loud, and sometimes a little too much. A New Yorker, turned Bostonian, turned back to New Yorker. Traveling is my favorite thing...ever. I order in Thai food about three times a week (I know, it's a problem). My glass isn't just full, it's overflowing, and I am committed to capturing the true beauty and joy I see in the world. If you're looking for a photographer who isn't just there to click the button, but to go the extra mile and become pals with, look no further.

Rachel shot our city hall elopement and we are so happy that we found her! From start to finish, Rachel was incredibly knowledgeable, kind, professional, and (most important to us), fun and easy-going. From suggesting locations and helping us schedule our day to sharing a pretzel outside city hall with us, to actually being our witness, Rachel helped us have the perfect wedding day. We love our photos! Not only did Rachel capture all the special moments we shared together, she really told the full story of the day. When we look at the photos, we have so much fun remembering all of the little details and unexpected New York adventures. Neither of us particularly love pictures of ourselves, but Rachel made us feel so comfortable and natural - sometimes we forgot she had a camera at all. We loved working with, meeting, and spending time with Rachel - book her now, you won't be sorry!

Awarded Best of Zola
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Duet. We booked them for both photography and videography for our wedding at The Mansion at Timber Point, as well as for our engagement photos in Central Park. Hanel and his entire team were absolutely incredible. Mike was our lead photographer for both the engagement session and wedding day, and Hanel was our lead videographer. This was the vendor I spent the most time researching, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision. Not only do I love their style and quality of work, but I also found their pricing to be very reasonable for the level of talent and professionalism they provide. Most importantly, the final photos and videos truly captured the magic and emotion of the day. These are memories I will cherish forever, and I’m so grateful to have trusted Duet with documenting such an important part of our lives.

Daniella Diaz is a wedding photographer in Long Island with a passion for storytelling. Using a photojournalistic approach, her work is created with the purpose of preserving your love story with intention, honesty, and free-spiritedness. The idea of documenting love - the kind that fills a room, makes people laugh-cry, and brings generations together - lit something up in me. I wasn’t just drawn to the couple’s love story, but the energy of an entire room full of people who showed up just to celebrate them. The collective joy, the nervous anticipation, the natural moments of connection. That’s the magic I never want to stop chasing!

  • Serves Merrick, NY

Hello, I'm Elsie. I'm a New York based photographer with a passion to capture people’s stories in the right light. Like any relationship, we have to vibe. I want us both to be comfortable and excited to work with each other because that’s what you deserve from a photographer. I love margaritas, my house plants, and my dog Arthur. I'm a phenomenal cook, and love bringing people together.

Elsie was by far our favorite vendor to work with for our wedding! Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she truly became a friend during the process of us working together. We started working with Elsie when my then-boyfriend had a photographer back out last minute to shoot our proposal -- he reached out to Elsie and she was immediately down to photograph the proposal last minute. We felt so comfortable with her during that shoot that we knew from that moment that we wanted her to be our wedding photographer. Elsie makes you feel so at ease during your engagement and wedding shoots. Neither my husband or myself are particularly photogenic people, but Elsie is great helping us find the right, natural poses AND she's fantastic at capturing organic moments with friends and family throughout the day to really give you that documentary style result. We LOVE her and would recommend her over and over again!

I am a quiet presence who notices what goes unseen. I don’t arrive with a checklist. I arrive with intuition, empathy, and care. Not just as a vendor, but as a trusted friend—someone who listens, who feels, who sees.

Yanni's is an absolutely amazing photographer! We found him through Zola and instantly connected with him. His picture were absolutely beautiful and were the vibe we always imagined for our wedding day! He was so professional the whole day and was so nice to be around. He was there to capture moments that we thought would be forgotten, but he was always there ready to take all the pictures! As well, he was able to have our pictures edited and back to us within days of our wedding, that's unheard of! We could not be happier with how our wedding pictures came out. Seriously, book him for your wedding! You will not be disappointed! Thank you so much Yannis!

There aren’t enough kind things to say about Maddie!!! She was incredibly helpful and thorough on the wedding day and did such a good job capturing my husband and I’s personalities. We talked a bunch leading up to the day and I shared with her some of my “visions” for the pictures (lol) but mainly I just told her that I wanted her to capture the day as it was and let the pics speak for themselves, which they DID!! She also came in hand with not only a digital camera but a polaroid and a film cam as well. I couldn’t believe how stunning the pictures were. I highly highly recommend Maddie to anyone looking for a photographer. She’s such a fantastic person and I’m so grateful to know her!!!

Leanne Gelish Studio

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,200
  • Serves Merrick, NY

Welcome to Leanne Gelish Studio! I am a wedding photographer on Long Island, New York who specializes in capturing real moments in an artistic way. A born story-teller, I believe your wedding day should be captured like a story. After all, it’s the love story you always wanted and it’s worth remembering the little details.

My husband and I had a fairytale courtship. We started dating in February of 2019 and were engaged by June. We both felt a lot of stress and pressure from both sides of our family as soon as we announced our engagement. We decided that we wanted our wedding day to be just about us, and we would do a reception later on that would include our family and friends. We were engaged on Sunday June 9th and by Monday I was scouting the internet for photographers. I’m not from Long Island, so I’m not familiar with vendors here. However, being the daughter of two photographers, I knew that the most important part of my wedding (besides the bride & groom) was the pictures. I reached out to so many photographers and no one was the right fit. We were under a time crunch, so some weren’t available on short notice. I wanted my pictures taken with a Nikon camera, not all vendors are loyal to that brand. Then I found Leanne. Not only were her pictures GORGEOUS, she took pictures with a Nikon, and she was available! Under her excellent guidance, I reached out to the local town hall and secured our wedding date 7/12/19. Leanne was up for the challenge of taking pictures of a couple she had never met at a wedding in just over a month. Over the course of that month she made us feel so comfortable. She had so many beautiful and creative portraits planned, and also listened to all of the images I wanted. We asked her to be our witness at the wedding ceremony. It just felt right. The day of the wedding was beyond anything I had ever imagined. Leanne (having never met me) jumped right into action when I was in the middle of a wardrobe malfunction. She then expertly guided us through portraits before, during, and after the ceremony. She gave us the space to enjoy our day and captured our love in such a stunning way. We went to a lovely park after the ceremony for more portraits. We took breaks here and there and unbeknownst to us, she captured those candid, intimate moments that we shared. Those pictures are some of my favorites. My husband isn’t as comfortable in front of the camera as I am, but Leanne was so wonderful in helping him pose and stand in ways that didn’t feel super awkward to him. She even got him up in a tree! We both have that picture as our background on our phones. I really feel like Leanne went above and beyond what I had envisioned. She gave me all of the images I requested, and also made them her own using smoke bombs and prisms and really unique poses. Two and a half years later, Leanne is the only person we trust with taking our pictures. She has also become a close friend of ours. She is the most talented photographer, and we are so lucky that she was the one to capture our special day!

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Christopher was SO much fun to work with throughout the entire process. From the engagement photos, the rehearsal dinner to the wedding itself, Christopher was there finding the best shots. His demeanor and communication style put us at ease and actually made the process fun!

Bailey Quinlan (she/they) is a photographic artist based in Brooklyn, NY working in both film & digital. With a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art & an unshakable entrepreneurial spirit, she started her own business photographing weddings professionally in 2016, and has documented 100’s of celebrations since. Her fine art background informs her creative & personal approach to photographing weddings. She brings fresh eyes & ears to every couple she meets, focusing on what truly matters to them, to ensure her clients’ priorities & personalities shine through in their photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Bailey enough! From the moment we booked her, she was communicative, patient, and genuinely excited about our wedding. Her warmth and professionalism made us confident we'd made the right choice. One of the best decisions we made was also having Bailey cover our welcome party the night before the wedding. She captured the relaxed, joyful energy of our friends and family gathering for cocktails and an open mic on the deck at our venue. By the time our wedding day arrived, Bailey already felt like part of the group: a trusted friend rather than just a vendor. This made such a difference, especially since we're both pretty camera-shy and were nervous about feeling awkward or stiff in front of the camera. Bailey completely put us at ease. She has a gift for making you forget you're even being photographed. Her approach is so calm and unobtrusive that we could just be ourselves and enjoy our day. Bailey was incredibly patient with our large family during portraits, managing group shots with grace and efficiency while keeping everyone relaxed and happy. She has a real talent for making the photo-taking process feel natural and easy. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning. The ceremony shots in particular—the sunlight is captured exactly as I remember experiencing it in the moment, which is such a gift. Every image feels warm, authentic, and true to the vibe we wanted: natural, fun, and full of life. Bailey didn't just document our wedding, she captured the feeling of it. Now that our wedding is over, we can say with complete certainty that the photos were worth every penny of the investment. We love reliving the day through her work, and we know these images will be treasured for years to come. If you want a photographer who will blend seamlessly into your celebration, put your families at ease, and deliver beautiful, candid photos that feel like you, book Bailey immediately.

From our initial phone call to seeing the final photos, Eddie was a dream to work with! He is a thoughtful, kind, genuine human and a wildly talented photographer. My husband and I cannot think of anything he could possibly do better. At the wedding, he went out of his way to take portraits of my friends with their partners, he cared deeply about capturing important moments with family, and several people — entirely unprompted — told us how much they enjoyed Eddie. He made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot, and took truly priceless photos with our dog. Eddie is the best. Hands down!
