About

Hey there, my name is Marilyn! I'm a couples and wedding photographer based in NYC but always down for travel!

If you're all about the big laughs, the messy moments, or all those beautiful little intimate in-between moments of joy and heart — you're in the right place. My photography is all about capturing emotion and light. I am outdoor lover, so I aim to incorporate as much nature into my creative work as I possibly can, but my couples are always the center of my attention. Your day deserves to be captured in the most beautiful way, but without taking everything too seriously. That being said, I make sure to get all the big moments, all the group photos, but am always looking out for the action that happens in between the poses. I specialize in outdoor weddings, but am more than happy to capture your special day at any location! Shoot me a message and I can't wait to meet ya!

Would give 100 Stars if we could!

Marilyn shot our wedding in March and we loved working with her. Right from our engagement session last spring, we had this feeling that Marilyn was the perfect fit for capturing our special day, and boy, were we right on the money!

Leading up to the wedding, Marilyn was a breeze to work with and was extremely accommodating and responsive to emails. We received the preview images a week after the wedding and we are over the moon! Marilyn's photos didn't just capture the big moments and tiny details, they somehow managed to freeze-frame all the emotions of the day. We expect that revisiting the photos will transport us back to the day, over and over again!

In addition to her professionalism and talent, Marilyn is also an incredibly sweet person who provided a really calming presence, especially during those hectic moments. It felt like she genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as people too.

In short, Marilyn and her assistant, Emma, were an absolute dream to work with. We're beyond grateful for their talent, professionalism, and the genuine care they put into every shot. Now, we're just counting down the days until we get our hands on the full album to relive all those magical moments!

Dream Wedding Photographer

Marilyn was such a pleasure to work with. It is so obvious how incredibly talented she is, yet she still totally blew us away.
From the start, the way she kept in touch with us along the way with planning, the conversations she led about style and important pictures all helped us feel totally confident and non-stressed about this part of the planning.
On the day of she was such a calming force, omnipresent and intuitive to the kinds of things we were trying to do. From the ratios of shot kinds, the mix of guest photos where everyone had pics without an over emphasis on any one group… she was truly fantastic and wonderful and amazing.
We are so grateful for her presence and work around our special day. The pictures came out so beautifully, came so quickly and have been getting nonstop compliments from family and friends. We will treasure these forever.

With Marilyn, the odds are ever in your favor

Marilyn is a phenomenal photographer/person in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book her - I’ve recommended her to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. She goes above and beyond the basic responsibilities of a photographer and genuinely loves documenting love. I hope to book her for literally anything in the future. She was the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. She was one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Marilyn was amazing and it felt like she was really invested in learning about us as a couple and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Her kind and thoughtful personality led us to book her for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. She definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. So detailed that I had test-run a NYC ferry ride and selected backdrops along the way. She insanely obliged to all my requests and the photographs are a beautiful homage to our neighborhood. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told Marilyn I trusted her artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with Marilyn. She is just a wonderful person who puts you at ease whenever you chat with her. Many guests complimented her work style in which she wasn’t intrusive during the ceremony, but was constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Marilyn’s candid style was a perfect match for us.

Photographer & Owner

Hey folks!!

I am Marilyn, the owner, head photographer, and pretty much eveything but the kitchen sink behind Marilyn Lamanna Photography! For larger weddings I typically work with an assistant or 2nd shooter, but for all other aspects, I'm a one woman show and love every part of it!

I loveee the outdoors, even though I get winded after 1 flight of stairs, and go on hikes with my girlfriend every chance I get. I will stop to pet every dog I come in contact with, and even though I'm for sure an introvert, people + love stories have my whole heart.
