Best NYC Wedding Photographer

We hired Bryan for our intimate courthouse wedding in New York City just before Thanksgiving, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience!! From the start, Bryann was incredibly responsive and professional. Despite it being a simple, yet meaningful wedding at the courthouse, we still wanted to ensure the moment was captured beautifully. On the day of our wedding, Bryan came to our apartment and took pictures of us as we were getting ready for the big day. With our three friends in tow, Bryan followed the group through our neighborhood to the subway, to the Clerk’s Office for the ceremony, and then for some pictures at the waterfront. He was able to capture every moment along the way and captured the best NYC wedding pictures one could ask for.

If you’re planning a courthouse wedding (or any wedding) in New York City, I can’t recommend Bryan enough. He is not only incredibly talented but also incredibly kind and dedicated to making sure your special day is captured in the most beautiful way. We will cherish these memories for a lifetime!

Thank you, Bryan!

Perfection!

Bryan is wonderful. We booked him after being impressed by the photos on his website and his warm, friendly personality that came through immediately during our Zoom call. From that point on, everything was easy, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Our engagement session was fantastic. It gave us a chance to get to know Bryan better and made us even more excited for our wedding day. The photos from that session were incredible and completely reaffirmed our confidence in him.

Leading up to the wedding, communication was seamless and stress-free. On the big day, Bryan was the perfect photographer. He has an amazing ability to blend into the background when needed while also capturing the moments right in the middle of the action. The result was a beautiful collection of photos that truly captured the joy and energy of our day.

We couldn't be happier with our photos and are so grateful to have had Bryan as our photographer. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to perfectly capture their special day.

Talented, Personable and Creative

We had the pleasure of having Bryan, of Bryan Sargent Photography, as a visual storyteller for our daughter’s wedding, and his work was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment he arrived, his professionalism was evident, calm, organized, and fully present in every moment without ever being intrusive.

Bryan has a true gift for capturing emotion. The photos are stunning, natural, and beautifully composed, reflecting the joy and love of the day in a way that feels authentic and timeless. He guided everyone with ease, kept the wedding party relaxed, and somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling disruptive.

Our family and guests were so impressed by his kindness, patience, and genuine enthusiasm for his craft. The final gallery exceeded every expectation. These are the kinds of photos you treasure for a lifetime.

We are incredibly grateful for Bryan’s work and would recommend him wholeheartedly to any couple looking for a photographer who is both professional and truly passionate about what he does.

Calm, artistic and talented

Bryan is incredibly talented, and beyond that, he is truly wonderful to work with.

One of the things that stood out most throughout the entire process was the sense of calm he brought to every moment. Weddings can feel emotional, overwhelming, and chaotic at times, but Bryan has such a grounded and reassuring presence that immediately put us at ease. Being photographed all day can feel intimidating, especially when all eyes are on you, but he made everything feel natural and comfortable.

His photography style is absolutely beautiful. When we received our photos, they genuinely brought me to tears multiple times. He captured not only how the day looked, but how it felt — and that is such a rare talent.

He was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the planning process. We ended up restructuring parts of our contract and swapping our engagement session for a City Hall elopement shoot, and he was so easygoing and collaborative every step of the way.

Bryan was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I truly hope we get the opportunity to work with him again in the future for family photos. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Our Wedding

We’re honestly blown away by how beautifully Bryan captured our day. The photos were incredible and we loved his candid documentary style. It’s exactly what we were looking for.

Beyond the photos themselves, we really appreciated his calm presence and professionalism. Bryan made everything feel easy and helped the day run so smoothly. He was also super quick to respond to any questions we had.

We’re so grateful we chose Bryan to be our wedding photographer. Will definitely be reaching out for any future photography needs.

From the very first consultation, Bryan made us feel completely at ease. His professionalism and attention to detail were unmatched, and he captured every moment of our day with such authenticity and creativity (especially at Grand Central and braving the cold of NYC in the dead of winter!) Beyond the stunning photos, his punctuality, responsiveness, and warm rapport made working with them an absolute joy. Our wedding memories have been beautifully preserved thanks to his artistry!

Easy, great experience -- even better photos.

Bryan was excellent. I reached out to him less than 5 days ahead of my civil ceremony to see if he would be available. Responded incredibly fast, easy process to contract, was very flexible with styles and shot list. Bryan very much prioritized what we wanted and was professional, timely, and knew so much about how civil ceremonies worked. The photos are amazing. We couldn't be happier. Could not recommend him more.

10/10, no notes

Bryan was the best, the photos he took truly captured the day. 
He was super easy to work with, I never felt stressed in planning and felt so comfortable with him during the day. He understood how we wanted our day and photos to feel and brought that to life.
While I’m sure he’s a pro at all religious ceremonies, he was great at the Catholic Church, getting all the shots while being super respectful of the service, something our guests even noticed. He captured both candid and posed shots at the reception without ever feeling like it was in the way. 

Bryan also brings such creativity to the process that made our wedding photos feel truly unique to us. The different suggestions, details included, and fun camera options made each photo in the gallery special. If you want both beautiful portraits and epic dance floor shots, he is your guy. 
He was really the best, can’t recommend enough.
