If I could rate 100 stars I would. I was recommended Marco Photography through Atlantis Banquets and Events as part of their vendor package. It was so fast and easy to set up an appointment. We met with Chelsea and she was so so sweet, and answered our many questions and got us set up with adding a second photographer. Something that really stood out to me was that we met once in October. In February, my now husband and I went to a wedding expo at our venue where Marco Photography had a booth. When we passed the table, Chelsea greeted us with such enthusiasm we were both shocked they even knew who we were after only meeting us once 4 months prior! It really showed us how much they care about their clients.
A couple months later, we asked to add videography and within hours it was set up for us, easy!
We went in a couple of weeks prior to make another payment where we sat down again with Chelsea to discuss the style of photos we liked (She even asked us to send our Pinterest board!), to go through a day of plan, etc.
The week of, Chelsea gave me her personal contact to be able to reach her prior and give her any updates on locations, times etc and to send any requests we thought of last minute.
The day of, my hair and makeup ran just slightly behind and I panicked but I was reassured by Chelsea (and then Amber who was our amazing videographer) that it was no reason to stress and they would go work on detail shots (Which included BOTH pairs of my shoes and all of the details, our rings, flowers, tarot cards, invites and mirrors we brought along) all while Krystyna was upstairs with my husband and his groomsmen, capturing their getting ready shots.
Krystyna, Chelsea, and Amber made sure both my husband and myself were comfortable, not rushed and got all the photos we wanted and the end result was absolutely incredible. Their office team is also so lovely and easy to work with and responds so fast! I cannot wait to see the final video from Amber, just the trailer on their Instagram had me in tears!
Thank you so much to Chelsea, Amber, and Krystyna for capturing our day; I cannot imagine a better team to be with us!

Exceptional Wedding Photography & Videography at the Long Island Aquarium
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Rob (photographer) and Amber (videographer)! From start to finish, they were everything we could have hoped for—fun, personable, and incredibly professional.
One of the things we loved most was how fully they embraced our wish to capture only candid moments while we were getting ready. They were super accommodating and made sure to respect our preferences without skipping a beat.
We got married at the Long Island Aquarium in October, and Rob and Amber were genuinely excited about all the unique details of our wedding, especially my non-traditional blue gown with a cape. Their enthusiasm made the experience even more special, and we felt like they truly understood and celebrated our vision for the day.
We also had a specific request to avoid poses that involved jumping, kneeling, or anything else that might make us feel uncomfortable—something we were initially worried about bringing up. Rob and Amber not only honored this but did so with such ease and understanding that it put us completely at ease.
In the week leading up to the wedding, Rob and Amber both called us to go over our timeline and answer any last-minute questions. That extra step made us feel so confident and reassured that everything would run smoothly—and it absolutely did!
Not only were they a fantastic duo who worked seamlessly together, but they were also incredibly efficient during family photos. Our families genuinely appreciated how quickly and smoothly they handled everything while still being warm and approachable.
The team behind the scenes is just as great! The office was communicative and accommodating from the very start. They even met with us on a Saturday for our initial consultation since our weekday schedules made it impossible to meet during regular office hours.
We’re so excited to see the final photos and video and already know they’ll be incredible. If you’re looking for a team that’s talented, organized, and genuinely invested in capturing your special day, look no further than Rob, Amber, and the entire crew!

Phenomenal Photography Experience
I can't say enough good things about Marco Photography. The customer service, responsiveness, professionalism — and the photos themselves — have all exceeded our expectations.
Marco himself handled our engagement shoot, and he was professional and personable the entire time. He posed my husband and me in many wonderful, romantic shots, making us look and feel very natural and relaxed. He even took a few fun pictures of my mom and her boyfriend who came with us. The photos came out great (we went with an old-fashioned vibe, complete with a classic car), and my husband and I have many hanging in our apartment.
One of the studio's other photographers, Rob, as well as the videographer, Tony, handled the photos and video on our wedding day. Both were exceptional. Rob and Tony had contacted me a week before the wedding to go over the timeline, as well as what to expect. On the day of, they were focused — always knowing exactly what shots they needed next — as well as fun and personable.
Rob and Tony remained with us for over 10 hours (a very long day for anyone), never wavering in their efforts and professionalism. We just received our wedding photos a few days ago, and my husband and I couldn't be happier; Rob captured all the emotions and energy of the day — the happiness, the joy, and the humor. Everyone we've shown the photos to so far has articulated how "on point" the photography was.
Marco Photography has been an absolute joy to work with. Because my husband and I live in New Jersey, Marco even met us at his studio on a Saturday (when they're typically not in) to give us our proofs.
I definitely recommend this business to anyone in the Long Island area or to those getting married at Atlantis.

The best vendor at my wedding!
Marco was great to work with. He is easy-going and professional. Marco is always available to answer questions or give suggestions. He is a master at his artwork.
We chose Steve as our photographer and we couldn’t have been happier. He did such an amazing job capturing our day and those candid special moments. It has been so hard to pick pictures for our wedding album because I want to include them all!
I would recommend Marco and Steve to anyone and everyone!

My photographer and his assistant from Marco Photography was amazing!! He got there early to make sure to scope out the venue to find the best places to take photos. He took all of the photos we wanted and he was able to show us some of the amazing photos. Even though this vendor is a little expensive it is definitely worth every penny because you will get amazing quality photographs!
