About

I'm Serge from Sergey Lapkovsky Photography, a New York City wedding photographer. My style is a timeless and elegant blend of documentary and portrait photography. Your wedding images will be a perfect combination of candid moments, beautiful portraits, and gorgeous details that you have worked on so hard!

Most of my clients have never been photographed before, so I'll help and guide you through the entire process of taking photos.

🔸 I pay a lot of attention not only to amazing lighting and composition but also to make sure that you LOVE yourself in your pictures. No awkward faces or odd hand gestures, just beautiful and natural moments!

🔸 I aim to feel like a good friend with a camera who keeps things easygoing, stress-free, and, most importantly, fun. All of the smiles in my photos are the best example of how my shooting process works.

🔸 These are photos you will be looking back on for 10, 20, 30 years to come and I want them to be TIMELESS!

If this is how you imagine your photography experience to be, I'm sure we will be a great fit.

easy, comfortable, and worry free

It was very easy to work with Sergey. My husband and I are a bit camera shy and we knew we needed A LOT of guidance. Sergey was the one! He prep us and gave us a lot of tips before our wedding photoshoot. He directed us (we very much needed and REALLY appreciated) throughout our wedding day but still made us look very natural in our pictures. In addition, I do feel like my venue gave him a bit of a hard time, but he handled every situation very professionally and was assertive when needed to make sure he got the shot he needed for our pictures. Not everything went as planned for my wedding, but Sergey made sure he captured all important moments. In the end I absolutely love every single photo he gave me and highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a photographer.

Serge makes the wedding day a piece of cake!

I don’t even know where to begin. Serge was such an asset both on our wedding day and as we planned final details. He is a total professional and so knowledgeable. He helped us set up an entire “day of” plan and came with basically a plug and play of our “day of” shot list. We’re definitely more disorganized people and Serge could not have made planning photos for the day any easier. He was also just such a pleasure to be with on the day. It was stressful or exhausting at certain points (especially leading up to the ceremony!) and Serge was a rock! So so many of my family and friends told me throughout the day how wonderful Serge was. We were really hellbent on having photography that was unobtrusive (we’ve been to weddings with whirring drones over the ceremony and it totally took the magic out of it!). Serge got AMAZING shots while blending right into the background. He’s a magician! This is such a ramble, and I’m sure I missed some of the ways he was so great. But TL;DR…Serge is amazing and you won’t regret hiring him!!
