Modern Manhattan Wedding at 620 Loft and Garden
Daria and Michael’s Manhattan wedding at 620 Loft and Garden was the perfect mix of New York charm and elegance. Their love story, which started during a snowstorm, came full circle with a beautiful Manhattan wedding, surrounded by family and friends, even though some couldn’t attend in person. Thanks to Zoom, Daria’s family still felt close, even being physically far.
Despite the rain, we didn’t miss a beat. We embraced the NYC weather and captured some stunning pre-ceremony couple shots around Midtown Manhattan, including a fun moment with an iconic yellow cab, which added an authentic NYC vibe to their day. As a Manhattan wedding photographer, I love incorporating the city’s energy into photos, and this one was no exception.
The ceremony at 620 Loft and Garden was intimate and meaningful, with stunning views of St. Patrick’s Cathedral. Afterward, the reception was a lively celebration, featuring a traditional Karavai bread ceremony and a mix of Russian and American tunes by DJ Misha Iogansen.
620 Loft and Garden offers a unique blend of indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for a Manhattan wedding. If you’re considering your own NYC celebration, this venue is a top choice. If you want your Manhattan wedding photos feel real, timeless, and full of life, I’d love to document your day. Reach out, and let’s talk about your wedding!

Testimonials
Alina was so easy going and great to work with, I reached out only two weeks before our last minute wedding in New York, and she was able to travel and be there for us on our day. Although we weren’t able to meet in person before, she made me feel so comfortable while taking pictures. Her energy and directing made it so easy to feel like friends were taking our pictures. She was willing to walk through a wooded/wet area and all over the grounds of the venue to get a wide range of shots which was everything we had hoped for. She made the whole process such a breeze since day one. We are so grateful we get to cherish these photos for years to come and cannot thank her enough. If you’re looking for an amazing wedding photographer in New York who will make you feel comfortable and laugh the whole time during your pictures, she’s the one!

WeddingAlina was amazing!!! She coordinated with us ahead of the shoot and she also recommended me great MUAS! She was able to recommend places that exactly suited our vide of our photoshoot and was in constant communication leading up to the shoot, even given us tips for NYC. Upon meeting her she was lovely! She made us feel comfortable, gave us ideas for poses and was so easy going and talkative. She picked out great locations for us and gave us our photos hours after the photoshoot. Would recommend her as a NYC engagement photographer 100 times over!

EngagementAlina is the best! Her communication leading up to our engagement session was perfect, and she made us feel at ease throughout the entire process.
She by far exceeded our expectations. The pictures are STUNNING and it was a plus that she was able to get the edits back to us in a timely manner.
Thank you again Alina. We cannot wait to have you for our wedding!

EngagementWe booked Alina for our wedding this past June, and the entire experience with her was absolutely phenomenal. She was professional, kind, organized and patient from our very first chat to the wedding day itself. Alina captured the most beautiful shots for us and we couldn’t be happier with the photos and service we received. The photos are STUNNING! Our guest even said they are magazine worthy. She took the time to capture photos of all our guests, families, and all the big and small moments. Absolute 10/10, zero complaints.
Cassandra Celestin
WeddingWe used Alina for our engagement shoot and wedding photography and I am so happy with our choice.
Leading up to both events she gave us helpful advice and kept in communication so we were never left in the dark. On our wedding day she was timely, organized, and efficient. She did a great job organizing a large group and had a beautiful eye to be able to capture outdoor pictures in the winter! Alina was able to give us direction on how to pose and make us feel really comfortable in the moment, which is something we were worried about.
She gave us our wedding photos back super quickly and the editing is amazing. She kept such a realistic but beautiful color to them and she truly made the whole day magical! We would 100% recommend Alina and her team.
Beth Hrehovcik
WeddingAlina was AMAZING! She did the photography for our wedding and we couldn’t have been happier. She’s very professional, her work is flawless, she’s attentive, creative, and very easy to work with. We also got to work with her videography team and we’re so impressed how well they work together to produce our wedding video. I would highly recommend them both. Thank you for everything Alina!
Kristen Lettenberger
WeddingAlina was a standout photographer. In the weeks leading up to our wedding, she sent us helpful tips and suggestions so that we were prompted to think about what we wanted from our photos (and communicate those wishes with her). Day-of, she directed us for a series of beautiful pictures in Central Park. I was nervous since I’ve never done a professional shoot before but had so much fun with Alina and Inga. At our reception, they blended into the guests so well that we did not notice being photographed throughout the night at all. I’ve been suggesting Alina to all of my friends getting married in the city and hope to use her again in the future for other events.

WeddingWe had the pleasure of working with Alina for our engagement photoshoot in New Jersey, and her professionalism, skills, and the incredible pictures she provided were truly remarkable. Without any hesitation, we immediately booked Alina for both our wedding photography and videography. Alina had a keen understanding of our vision and perfectly captured the essence of our special day. The highlight was the exceptional video created by Alek and Alina, which beautifully encapsulated every moment of our wedding. We are immensely grateful for capturing our cherished day.

WeddingWe had the pleasure of working with Alina for our wedding this past June in NYC. She was the absolute best! She walked us through the entire process and made it enjoyable and easy.

WeddingI cannot recommend Alina enough! She is a visionary and such expert couple photographer in NYC, I would recommend her to anyone who needs pictures taken in NYC. She was so much fun to work with, and not to mention affordable. She has all of the best spots mapped out, and really made our first photoshoot quite the experience.
Cristina Fernandez
EngagementWorked with Alina for engagement and wedding photos in New York. She was very punctual and easy to work with! My husband and I do not regularly take photos, but she made the process very easy and gave us great directions. In addition, she was very quick in sending our final photos. We usually had our final photos within the week. Would recommend.
Grace Shin
WeddingAlina was amazing! Our engagement photos came out beautiful, just the way I envisioned them! It was our first time taking professional photos like this and Alina was so friendly and kind to assure us that everything will be fine. She asked for what I wanted in my photos & made sure that my photos came out exactly the way I wanted, that even means waking up at sunrise. Alina was very responsive so there were no miscommunications. Overall we had a positive & memorable experience of our engagement photos, definitely something we will treasure for a lifetime. 100000% highly recommend Alina for ALL your photography needs. I hope to have a chance to work with her again

EngagementAlina was absolutely phenomenal to work with. From the first email to the final delivery of photos, Alina was responsive, courteous, enthusiastic and a pleasure. Alina is a great listener, super patient, and an excellent instructor. She makes you feel at ease and brings out your photogenic side. You should definitely work with Alina if you have the opportunity.
Lindsey Goldstein
EngagementMe and my boyfriend did a couple’s shoot with Alina in the west village and it was amazing! She’s professional, quick, communicative, friendly and flexible (we postponed our shoot 1 day because it was supposed to rain)Neither of us had ever done a photoshoot before so didn’t know what to expect but she made us very comfortable. Had good suggestions for settings/poses but also encourages you to just interact with each other creating natural looking scenes in the photographs. Which is exactly what we wanted :) She came well prepared with locations and improvised if she saw another opportunity.Not only will you get good pictures you will also just have a great time!
Maaike Pull
EngagementAlina is amazing! She photographed our wedding and not only did the photos turn out better than we could have imagined, but she is also exactly the kind of person you want for your wedding day. She is professional, organized, responsive, creative, and steady. We got caught in the rain and had to hide in the subway station for a few minutes and Alina turned it into an opportunity to get some of our favorite shots. Alina is super talented and gives just the right amount of direction to make sure things look great but are still relaxed and fun. Her second shooter was excellent too. Absolutely recommend.
