Where are you based?

Jonathan Heisler Photography is based out of New York!

Will you travel for my wedding?

Yes - I travel a bunch for clients. From Long Island’s East End to Denver, Colorado, and from upstate NY down to Richmond, Virginia I’ve done it.

“We don’t take photos too often. We’ve never taken professional photos before and are super awkward in front of the camera…will you help us?”

Confession: I hate being photographed and I know it feels weird. My work around is starting off our sessions with a lot of candids and slowly introducing poses with some help.. Fun Fact: 95% of the couples you see in my photos are in the same boat as you.

Can we check out a full gallery?

I’d be happy to send over some full galleries. Fill out my contact form and let me know!

How do we book you?

I try to make it as easy as possible. After you fill out my contact form, I’d like to set up a consultation either on the phone or in person if you’re local to NYC so I can get to know you and understand what you’re looking for. After that, I require a 50% deposit and a signed contract to hold your date. The remaining 50% is due any time up until the big day.

When will we receive our photos?

2 Part Answer: Next day I sent 20-25 Highlight photos. Then, 3-4 weeks after your wedding date I send all of the photos edited, full-resolution, and non-watermarked images. From there, we work together on retouching. I pride myself in a quick turnaround time. Nobody wants to wait 3-6 months to see their photos!

How many photos will we get?

Depends on how many hours you book, the size of your wedding, and more! However, every photo we take is a photo you will receive.

“Is a second wedding photographer necessary?”

This is one of the top 10 questions I get!

I’m not trying to up sell you here, but the simple answer is “Yes”.

A second photographer offers you so much. From covering the guys getting ready, to offering additional perspectives, capturing candids when your main photographer is positioning people to, being an assistant at times, and helping us keep on schedule, a “2nd photographer” is important. Having a second photographer gives us the opportunity to be in two places at once. For example, during the getting ready photos, while the main photographer is capturing the bride and the bridesmaids getting ready along with all the wedding details, the second photographer can be in the grooms room with the groomsmen documenting all of their excitement (beer drinking) and gift exchanges and anything else that is happening there.

During the ceremony, the second photographer helps once again by adding a second angle to the entire scene. He/she is capturing not only what’s going on upfront, but guests reactions, wide angle photos of the whole scene, and more. While the main photographer is up front of the processional, the second photographer can be in the back capturing you going down the isle and all of your guests.

We work seamlessly together as a team.
