The Dominick Hotel Wedding - Lower Manhattan

Congrats Rachel and Sal! | Having previously photographed at the Dominick Hotel, as the Trump SoHo, we I already knew the lay of the land. On this Saturday, I was second photographing for my friend and fellow photographer Natalie. Natalie was the main photographer.

The couple was great!

We started our day by capturing the bride and groom getting ready at the hotel. Then, we staged the couple’s first look on the hotels top floor. Here on the 42nd floor we were greeted with sweeping views of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, and New Jersey. Post first look, the couple and their family/friends moved on to Brookfield Place in Battery Park for family photos, bridal party photos, and a couple’s session.

The ceremony and reception were back at the hotel.

Caitlyn and George - NYC City Hall Wedding

Congrats Caitlyn and George! The fall consists of my busiest time of the year, both with weddings and other photo work (engagement sessions, corporate headshots, events, etc.,). However, photographing weddings at City Hall weddings is one of my favorite events to photograph. A city hall wedding is all about raw simplicity and genuine authenticity. I think they are a true reflection of the couple.

Simplicity and authenticity are the best two words to describe Caitlyn and George. Capturing their happiness, anxiousness, and eagerness to get married was really exciting. And, I say that as a seasoned photographer with hundreds of weddings under my belt. It was nice that there was no big catering hall, big cake, and complicated dress to cloud the focus of the day.

Instead of detail shots consisting of uber expensive watches and shoes, the details of their day were the couple’s letters to one another. Throughout the day, I had to search for details to capture. I had to search for the little moments and wait for the big moments.

After the ceremony, we all walked outside for a couple session and then more family photos.

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.
