First up, Matthew Sowa, one of the many immigrants who brings his unique culture and style to the amazing melting pot that is New York. Hailing from Poland, Matthew’s weddings are a mix of spot-on photojournalism and creative portraiture. His distinctly artistic snaps have merited numerous awards in the industry and makes him one of our best wedding photographers in NYC.
If practice makes perfect, with over 600 weddings on his resumé, he’s got to be pretty darn close. Regardless, we’re firm believers that any photographer who can make his viewers gasp and laugh inside just a few seconds is worth a second look for your big day. He also provides photo booth rentals and cinematography services for your big day.
Olya Vysotskaya is another award-winning photographer whose images will stop you in your tracks. Her photos are varied, employing a mix of hard and soft light, motion, and genuine human connection to tell a couple’s story. However, each one will blow you away all on its own. For those of you who appreciate the value of analog in a digital world, it’s worth noting that Olya shoots almost exclusively in film.
Love is an otherworldly experience, so why not capture it in an otherworldly way? Dave Paek’s extraordinary work captures couples underwater, in double exposure, and framed in the most unlikely ways. His Instagram feed features showstopper after showstopper. In fact, his photographs are in turn colorful, creative, and confounding. Just be careful if you live in one of the small apartments NYC is famous for: you’re going to want a lot of wall space to display Dave’s art.
While Dave is a celebrated wedding photographer with tons of work on the horizon, he is still giving back. Just check out his wedding photography blog for tips and tricks for photographers and wedding planners alike!
