Congrats to Erin and Zack! Photographing your Montauk, NY wedding was so much fun and a joy. Perfect weather and perfect couple make the perfect day for this wedding photographer.
Ayasha and Adrian - Manhattan City Hall Wedding
Adrian and Ayasha's wedding in Lower Manhattan's City Hall is what wedding photography is all about. I loved capturing their happiness, nervousness, and the pure excitement of watching this couple get married. There were no big catering halls, cakes, and complicated dresses to cloud the focus of the day.
Throughout the day I was always capturing both the little and big moments as they happened. I also directed some shots when appropriate.
Wedding Photographer Questions - New York City Photographer
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.
Kayla + Matt - Gatsby On The Ocean Wedding
Perfect. September 7th, 2019 was a perfect day for Kayla and Matty’s wedding with cool temperatures, a nice ocean breeze, and good spirits all around. Long Island’s newest wedding venue and event space, Gatsby on the Ocean at Jones Beach made the perfect backdrop to their wedding day.
Photographing a new long island wedding venue is an amazing experience.
City Hall Wedding - Katia + Joe
I love photographing simple weddings and a New York City Hall wedding is my definition of “simple wedding.” Katia and Joe made the jump on Friday August 23, 2019 in downtown Manhattan at City Hall. Post ceremony, we met for family photos and a private couples’ session in Lower Manhattan. Our shoot incorporated the hustle and bustle of the big city, and the contrasting calmness of it’s parks. This was definitely a nice break from the country club and catering hall weddings I often photograph.
Lisa + Ralph Long Island Backyard Wedding
“Simple. We’re really simple and we’re an easy going couple, Jonathan. We don’t want flashy! We’re going to have BBQ, so please eat, and our friend’s band will play. It’ll be fun!”, is exactly what Lisa told me over the phone back in February. Post wedding, I 100% agree.
Any wedding with dogs is a GREAT wedding in my book!
