Marilyn Lamanna Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (47 reviews)
Astoria, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $8,500

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kenny was easy to communicate with from start to finish. His professionalism made our experience with a DJ from out of state comfortable. When asked to adapt to changes that needed to be made throughout the party, he exceeded our expectations. Kenny made our wedding reception something that we will talk about for years to come. All of our guests raved about our DJ. He knew how to incorporate every song choice and genre that was asked for. He had us dancing from start to finish. We can’t thank him enough, and not to forget his sidekick, his wife, thank you for making the trip, and for your help as well! We hope to use Kenny again in the future!

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
Thalia is truly a dream - to work with, to communicate with & to be with. Her work speaks for itself - I’ve never seen someone capture events the way she does. It’s like reliving the day. She is simultaneously incredibly helpful and present and yet you barely notice she’s there until you review the photos and are like wow she even got that small moment! As someone who has never loved posed photos / being in wedding photos I have to say Thalia completely changed my tune. She is truly a joy to work with an artist beyond comprehension. I cannot wait for another excuse to hire her again.

Marigolds Florals 
Rating: 5.0 (13 reviews)
Astoria, NY
  • Florist

Welcome to our vibrant floral design studio, where creativity blooms with an eco-friendly twist! We pride ourselves on crafting completely unique floral arrangements that are not only visually stunning but also kind to the planet. We can work with you to create a fun and unique design for every occasion.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do I start? I found Marigolds and its brilliant owner Anika when the wedding gods smiled down at me and led me to her. I reached out and it was an instant click -- Anika is caring, funny, wickedly talented, but most importantly, honest and transparent, which meant a lot to a budget bride like me. She listened to my half-baked vision (filled with more concepts and vibes, than concrete details) and brought real options to life. She was communicative and responsive, delivering on the lookbooks and meeting with my spouse and I more times than any other vendor. She was patient when I changed my mind or showed uncertainty, and outlined the real costs associated with those changes with an empathetic and problem-solving mindset. I'm not exaggerating when I say every single one of our guests told us that our wedding florals were their favorite decoration at the wedding. My coworkers showed me an album of over 50 pictures of my wedding flowers alone... that's saying something. I'm an emphatic advocate for Marigolds because their quality of care, service, and skill deserve it. And I'm writing this review because every person preparing for such an important day as their wedding deserves to work with someone like Anika.

Venue considerations

  • Not wheelchair accessible
  • Not for you if you are drawn to more unconventional venues
  • Best for events with big guest lists
Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Carrie did a wonderful job as a coordinator for our wedding! We hired her at the last minute, and because of circumstances beyond our control we were dealing with a bit of a complicated situation and many loose ends. Yet Carrie was able to immediately make us feel well taken care of. Her attention to detail, responsiveness, and diligence were excellent. As the wedding day approached, we felt confident that she’d make things run smoothly, and we were absolutely right—we got to stay in the moment knowing that she was handling everything.

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 recently hired Colby to shoot our tiny Covid-friendly Catholic ceremony and had an amazing experience! I cannot recommend him enough. Our ceremony took place in a historic Catholic church with restrictions on how close a photographer could get to the altar. Colby was very respectful of the space and still managed to get incredible photos of the ceremony. Our handful of guests commented on how non-intrusive he was while still managing to capture so many special moments. After the ceremony we went to a local park to capture photos of just myself and the groom and these photos blew us away. He was so easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable considering we are not naturals in front of the camera! The candid pictures look so natural and not forced. The variety of poses, backgrounds and settings he chose were great for getting many options of photos we love. I highly recommend hiring Colby for your wedding during and after this crazy pandemic. He wore a mask the entire time, was so calm and collected, and we had a blast spending our wedding day with him. He even let us stop to take pictures with our pet cat ! (LOL) Amazingly, our fully edited album of photos was ready less than a week later! We will always treasure these photos and this experience during the crazy times of 2020.

Ash & Rose is a two person live acoustic cover band that specializes in warm and expressive covers of favorites from yesterday and today. With a catalogue of over 50 love songs to choose from, Ash & Rose is sure to have the perfect soundtrack for your love story.

Ash & Rose Live Music was an absolute highlight of our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was seamless, warm, and incredibly responsive—they made the whole experience feel personalized and easy. On the day itself, their performance was nothing short of incredible. Dan and I have been friends with Ash & Rose for years, dating back to our college days, which made it even more meaningful to have them bring that part of our relationship alive again. They performed my favorite song from the a cappella group Dan and Ash sang in together during college, and even reworked the ending to celebrate our “7 whole years” together. It was beautiful, personal, and unforgettable. They are not only two of the most talented singers I know, but also two of the kindest and most genuine people. That combination of talent and heart radiated through their performance and into every guest experience. My family and friends are still talking about how amazing, energetic, and joyful they were as a duo. You could see it on everyone’s faces as they rocked the house. (Just take it from me, the bride herself, in these photos.) Having Ash & Rose perform at our wedding was hands down one of the best decisions we made. They will treat you with the same incredible care, kindness, and talent they showed us, and they’ll make your day unforgettable. If you’re looking for wedding singers who can make magic happen, look no further than Ash & Rose Live Music.

She’s quick to answer questions, flexible, and creates a very calm and comfortable working environment, which makes a big difference on a wedding day. What stood out to me the most was how intuitive she is with her couples. She really understands their vision and knows how to support it naturally. During the wedding, it was so clear how special her connection with them was. You could feel the trust they had in her, and that says more about her approach than anything else. I would absolutely recommend Jasmine to any couple looking for a planner who is both professional and genuinely invested in their experience.

I'm Rafael Viveros, and through meticulous storytelling, I aim to do more than just capture moments; I strive to weave cinematic experiences that endure the rest of time. Weddings?

We found Rafa through a Facebook group once (finally) decided to have a videographer at our wedding. Best decision ever!! He was a professional from beginning to end and put so much effort into capturing every detail. His team was incredible, and we recommend him to every one of our friends getting married. We're so happy with our video and so happy we chose to work with Rafa!

Astoria, NY
  • Videographer
  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $2,500

Vanilla Film is a professional wedding videography service serving the LA area. Lev and Nina, the owners of the company, are deeply passionate about capturing each couple’s raw emotions during one of their most significant milestones. They will strive to document their clients’ love stories with authenticity, leaving them with beautiful memories to cherish. Vanilla Film will secure every couple’s comfort from the very beginning, putting them completely at ease.

These videographers are outstanding! Words can't describe how much Lev and Nina made our wedding everything I wanted and more. Planning a wedding during covid has been very challenging and my venues and vendors have been cancelling left and right. I changed my wedding plans to 3 completely different location in Washington because of covid. Every time I had a hardship with the wedding and a change of plans, Nina and Lev have been the easiest and most understanding and compassionate individuals that helped me navigate the next steps because I did not want to post pone. They never once made me feel stressed with having things constantly change. Nina and Lev also put %150 into this project! I also would recommend adding the pre video because it gave me a chance to get to know Nina and Lev and become friends prior to the wedding so that I felt like they were good friends surrounded by us on our important day! Not just videographers!! There is a huge difference in their quality of video compared to any other I researched !
