About

I am a New York based photographer and member of the prestigious Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA). Originally from Israel, I have had the pleasure of photographing many French, Yemenite, Ethiopian, Russian, and Moroccan weddings and events. Through my photojournalistic style, I aim to capture the spontaneity, joy, emotion and ambiance of the important day with photos that present an unfolding story. I am free to travel throughout the US and internationally, and am available for a wide variety of events.

Shira was the best photographer we could have asked for! It was amazing having her at our wedding - she captured every picture that we wanted, every smile, every loving glance. We received our albums this week and cannot stop looking at them. Every picture is beautiful. Thank you Shira for everything!

It's so hard to explain in words how amazing Shira is-- as soon as we met her, we knew she was the perfect photographer to capture our Wedding Day. I actually found her through online searching since I work crazy hours at my job and most of my early wedding planning and vendor searches were through websites like this. When we did our engagement shoot, her energy and love for photography truly shined. She is very professional and a gem to be around. Then, our wedding day arrived. Shira was assertive, listened to our ideas for photos, and recommended her own, which were of course stunning! She was truly a fun, chic addition to our wedding day and her positivity was so sincere. We will always remember her running around to get "the perfect shot"-- which she did 1,000x over! She brought an assistant who was also fantastic. We had 2 weddings in 1-- which included an Indian Ceremony and Civil Ceremony. She captured both better than I could have ever imagined. I would recommend Shira to anyone-- she was a dream-come-true photographer!

I normally do not fill out reviews but I had to share this experience. My fiancé and I had the honor of having Shira take our engagement photos. The first time we met her, we immediately took a liking to her. Shira is professional, easy to work with and very flexible. Her work is beautiful and her passion for photography shows through her pictures. We continue to receive complements from family and friends!!

We immediately booked her for our wedding day in August!

Shira's value really proved itself before the wedding. Her customized timeline and helpful advice made it easy to plan our day and not stress about the photos. Her work is beautiful and we can't wait for our album!

I knew I wanted my photos to look amazing for our wedding day and I knew Shira was the one the minute I found her blog! Her style is impeccable and is completely in line with what I wanted!

We hired Shira to do our engagement shoot as well and I have to say it was great to work with her before the wedding and get to know her ways. It made the wedding day even more smooth! Not to mention we have 2 sets of amazing photos now!

Shira delivered on every promise she made! She told me she really gives it her all and gives you unlimited time day of your wedding and it's so true. She works her tail off!!! So many guests noticed and commented on that! She is such a hard worker! She also makes sure to touch up your photos and gives you color and b/w options which I love!

Truly exceptional and worth it!!!!

Shira is a lovely person and a super talented photographer, with a sharp, artistic eye. I felt completely at ease knowing she was capturing the memories of our wedding day and she didn't let us down! The photos were completely worth the investment. Shira is great to work with, has high professional standards and we were thrilled with the quality of her work.

There is no one like Shira! Not only is she an unbelievable and inspirational artist, but also a kind, energetic, and amazing person. She was perfect when it came to capturing our personality as a couple, the emotions, and spirituality of the wedding day. Everyone who sees our engagement & wedding photos are blown away. Shira is truly special and she always goes above and beyond! Thank you Shira for capturing the magic and for giving us the opportunity to relive our memories everyday!

We had Shira Weinberger document our wedding and she was amazing in capturing nearly every moment and emotion of the day--helping us to relive the experience (and even helping us to relive the parts we missed in person). She is very hard working and dedicated to her art and it shows in every photo she painstakingly captures, composes with natural light and edits. She is a true artist and we felt very confident in having her cover the most important day of the start of our lives!

Shira is as beautiful as she is talented. I'm using several of her photos on my website (with her permission of course.) I think she's by the far the best and definitely the sweetest photographer in New York.

Shira is one of the most talented {and detail oriented} photographers I've ever met. Her work is beautiful; she does not miss a thing! In fact she sees beauty and art in moments or objects that others do not (until they see her photos!). If you have the opportunity to work with Shira, you are truly blessed! Book her as soon as you confirm your date, and your memories will be documented in the most amazing way. An absolute professional and artist!
