New York-Long Island

Photographer... HELP!

Hi knottie friends!!!

I need some help finding an awesome wedding photographer.  I'm from LI and getting married on LI next April but am currently living in Ohio so planning from a distance...

I'm looking for a photographer who takes a nice combo of staged/candid shots. Someone who can capture the humor in our relationship! Also looking for a videographer and engagement shot bundle with the company to make it easier for me.

Budget not considered... who are your recommendations???

Re: Photographer... HELP!

  • Hi, you should check out Julian Ribinik!
    Good luck!
  • Alexis Stein Photography! LOVED them!! They do free engagement shoots (I think!) and they know lots of vendors on LI including videographers! AlexisSteinphoto.com
  • I've heard good things about Benchwerk photography in NYC.  I know they've done a bunch of weddings on Long Island.

  • For videographer I would suggest AJ Ingoglia.  He's awesome and his packages are really reasonable.  Here's the trailer to our video: http://vimeo.com/30344680. You can search him on vimeo or facebook.  Good luck!
  • Jorge Garcia is our photpgrapher for our long island wedding. He is very professional, reasonably priced, and our engagement pics were wonderful.
    Check out his website.

  • We are using Patken Photography. They have packages that include engagement session & videographer. So far they have been great to us & a few couples we know who have used them have had nothing but great things to say! 
    Wedding Countdown Ticker
  • We are using Silverfox. They threw in a free engagement session, as well as thank you cards. And they also have various packages with videographers. From what I looked at of their work, it seemed they had a nice mix of candid but also staged photos as well.

  • Kimberly Salem is located on LI and I believe her wedding package also includes an engagement session which is awesome,  http://www.kimberlysalemblog.com/
  • Thirding AJ Ingoglia (we are just waiting for our contract!) and adding in Amanda-lee of Fleur-de-lees for photography! They have worked together previously and both had great things to say about each other. I recently met with them both and FH and I are thrilled to be working with them. :)

    Also, if you do try to get in touch with AJ, he won't be returning messages until April 30th as he's currently in the process of moving into his new residence. :)
