Elevated Work That Speaks For Itself

NYC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Editorial. Unscripted. Unforgettable.
CHANTELLE WOLFE, NYC WEDDING PLANNER
"Julian is, of course, a talented photographer, but he is also an excellent communicator and a professional team player. He responds quickly, is very accommodating, and works very well with other vendors. His work speaks for itself. I was thrilled to work with him.”
“They were a pleasure to work with before, during and after the event.”
We blend photojournalistic energy with fine-art refinement: cinematic, emotionally honest wedding images that feel spontaneous and polished. Julian’s years photographing New York streets shaped the instinct behind every frame: knowing where to be, when to shoot, and how to disappear into the room.
What Sets Our Wedding Photography Apart
Photographing NYC weddings since 2007, we know its landmark venues inside and out, including Cipriani Wall Street, Casa Cipriani, 620 Loft and Garden, The St. Regis, Capitale, Guastavino’s and more.
Trusted at New York’s Top Venues
New York is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, and that diversity is reflected in the weddings we photograph. We have photographed Jewish weddings, Indian weddings, Chinese tea ceremonies, Korean paebaek rituals, Persian weddings, Nigerian celebrations, and countless fusion ceremonies. Our photojournalistic approach is especially well-suited to multicultural weddings, where the most powerful moments often happen spontaneously between formal rituals.
Intercultural Wedding Photography
Every engagement begins with a conversation. We coordinate with your planner and vendors to ensure seamless coverage. On the day itself, Julian leads the photography while Evgenia brings her eye for editorial detail. Our editing style is consistent and refined: rich tones, deep contrast, and a moody warmth. You'll receive 500-800+ images within 6-8 weeks. We also offer cinematic wedding videography.
The Experience
HAVILAND, Bride
Throughout the entire process Julian was responsive, professional and committed to us as his clients. We felt completely comfortable and able to talk to Julian about any request or update we had. During the wedding day itself, we relied on Julian and his team to organize our photos and capture the great moments.. We couldn’t be happier with our photos.”
“We were instantly drawn to their unique style that matched our vision for the day.”
