Julian Ribinik Studios vs Tati & Roman: NYC Wedding Photography
If you are comparing Julian Ribinik Studios and Tati & Roman for your NYC wedding, start with the people and feelings you want your photographs to bring back. At Julian Ribinik Studios, we take special care to photograph emotion: the anticipation, the tears, the laughter, the way people reach for one another, and the reactions you might miss while your attention is elsewhere. We bring that care to candid photographs, portraits and the complete story of the celebration.
Both studios describe an approach that combines documentary coverage with editorial portraits. Emotion matters to both. The useful comparison is how each team photographs it, how their complete galleries feel to you, and how they will work with you on the day.

Why couples choose Julian Ribinik Studios
We want you to recognize how your wedding felt when you look through the photographs. The people you love, the expressions that belong to them, and the connections between them are central to our work. We watch for those moments throughout the celebration and give them the same care as the portraits.
Our documentary approach is informed by Julian’s street photography background: observing people, anticipating a moment and responding as it happens. When portraits or family photographs need direction, we step in calmly and help people feel at ease. That balance lets us photograph both spontaneous emotion and thoughtfully composed portraits.
Our NYC wedding photography portfolio shows how that attention to people works with our use of light and color. Explore our 620 Loft & Garden wedding story and our Guastavino’s celebration to see the coverage across different settings and parts of the day.
Film, the look you love and your budget
We offer film photography on request. Before adding it to your coverage, we talk through what draws you to it. Is it the physical medium, or the color, texture and feeling in the photographs you have seen?
If photographing on film matters to you, we can include it in the proposal. If you are drawn to a particular look and feel, we review examples together and discuss how to achieve the result you want before recommending an additional expense. Our responsibility is to protect your interests and budget while helping you choose the photographs you will love.
What to look at in Tati & Roman’s work
Tati & Roman describe their work as documentary storytelling with editorial portraits and classic family photographs. Their portfolio and film photography page let you assess that approach for yourself.
Look at the same things in both portfolios: expressions, relationships, portraits, color, lighting and consistency across the celebration. If one studio’s photographs connect with you more strongly, that is a meaningful personal preference. A difference in the words used on a website does not establish which team captures more emotion.
Give both studios the same wedding brief
Share your date, locations, approximate schedule and the people and moments that matter most. Then compare the proposed experience and coverage.
- Explain what you want to remember. Tell the photographer about important relationships, family dynamics and moments you especially want documented. Ask how that information shapes their approach.
- Ask who will photograph the day. Confirm the team and review work made by the people proposed for your wedding.
- Talk through portraits and time with guests. Ask how family photographs and directed portraits fit around the ceremony and celebration.
- Review comparable full galleries. Include examples with lighting and a schedule similar to yours, especially if your reception will be indoors after dark.
- Confirm the complete scope. Compare hours, delivery, albums, any requested film or video coverage, and the total price for the same services. A service shown on a website still needs to be included in your proposal.
