    Best wedding photographer!

    Zelin was absolutely incredible! From the moment we started working with him, he made everyone feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely able to enjoy the experience. He has such a calming and fun presence, which made taking photos feel natural rather than posed or stressful.

    Not only was he wonderful to work with, but the photos came out absolutely fantastic. He captured every special moment beautifully, and looking through our gallery allows us to relive the joy and emotion of the day all over again. We are beyond grateful for his talent, professionalism, and ability to capture our wedding so perfectly.

    We couldn't recommend Zelin more highly and will treasure these photos for the rest of our lives! 📸✨💕

    Awesome to work with!

    I got married this past Saturday and the team we worked with was exceptional. From the moment they walked in they guide & give clear direction on how to capture beautiful shots. We had Anthony as the main photographer and he was absolutely awesome! Amanda was the second photographer who was also extremely pleasant to work with. They worked together well situating our shots, while also making it fun for us. They were really flexible if we told them we wanted a specific shot on the fly. We also worked with Melanie their content creator who mad IG reels, which I got a few sneak peeks and they look so cool!

    We’re waiting for our photos, but I’ll be sure to follow up on my review once we get them!

    Really great experience! Thank you Lotus Weddings team for capturing our special day!

    Loved them!!!

    Will was our main photographer, Alyssa our second, and Melanie was the assistant the day of and all were so helpful all day long. Will made sure all of our posed photos were easy, fun and didn’t feel like too much while also making sure we got all of the photos we wanted. They all also helped carry my dress and veil and flowers during pictures! Every single one of them was fun, kind, professional and made for the perfect no stress vibe for our wedding day. Will was also super receptive and easy to contact during the whole planning process and made everything so easy and fun. We couldn't recommend them enough and have so many pictures we love!

    Highly Recommend!!!

    I have had the pleasure of meeting Justin and his team in 2023 when my sister got married! The following year I booked Lotus Wedding Photography for my wedding on August 8th 2024 at Flowerfields! Justin and his team make you feel EXTREMELY comfortable! I strongly recommend also doing an engagement shoot! My husband and I were extremely nervous but left feeling so excited! We typically are the couple that doesn’t really like to take the so serious photos and I can honestly say it was one of the best times! Justin and his team are stress free and genuinely make you laugh. Honestly there never was a moment where I felt like I was not being myself. I STRONGLY recommend Lotus!! If you are nervous about being awkward during photos or just are not as confident in poses, Justin and his team will 100 percent make you feel at ease! I am so excited to see all of the photos from the big day- as we have received a couple of sneak peaks and are SO SO happy with how they all came out! It was one of the best days of our lives! Thank you so much Justin and team!

    Professional and Creative

    I hired Lotus Wedding Photography for our engagement photos on 5/2024 and for our wedding on 8/17/2024. Zelin was the wedding photographer for our wedding, and he was amazing! I met Zelin for the first time at the wedding, and he automatically made me, and the wedding party feel comfortable.

    Zelin was with us for 10 hours and he was patient, attentive, and accommodating. He took the photos we included on our photo list and took additional creative ones. Zelin never made us feel like the whole wedding was about just taking photos. He made us laugh and if we needed a break, he went and took candid photos until we were ready. My guests commented how he just blended into the ceremony and reception and still took photos! Zelin took pictures of everything and I look forward to seeing the photos.

    I would highly recommend Zelin as the photographer. The team at Lotus Wedding Photography (Justin, Amanda, Will, Zelin) are very professional and amazing to work with.

    The Perfect Photographer!

    Shawna with LotusFly Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Her communication style was organized, thoughtful, and attentive - she took detailed notes during our consultations and always followed up promptly. Most importantly, the quality of Shawna's work is fantastic, especially considering her very reasonable rates. She has a true talent for capturing emotional moments and telling the story of the day. On the wedding day itself, Shawna brought a sense of calm and kept everything running smoothly while also fading into the background. She implemented our discussed plans flawlessly and was highly professional yet so easy to work with. We could not be happier with how our photos turned out - Shawna beautifully documented all the special details and joyful memories of our wedding celebration. We enthusiastically recommend LotusFly Photography for any couple's special day!

    Best decision!!

    We had a great experience using Lotus for our wedding! Z, Jonathan, and Anthony were all so amazing to work with on our wedding day! Amanda, Justin and Will were so great to work with leading up to our wedding. They were so responsive and did so much prep/coordination leading up to our wedding. We opted for two photographers and a videographer which was the best decision. Z and Jonathan immediately made me feel so comfortable. They were helpful in carrying my train so it wouldn’t get it dirty and even showing me some tricks on how to carry it best! They were so creative with our scenery and also so thoughtful when it came to having us in the shade or giving us a break from photos inside (it was a hot one). Anthony was mostly with the guys but my husband said how great he was. He fit right in with the groomsmen and made everyone feel at ease. All three of them stayed the whole night and captured so many moments during our reception. I can’t wait to see all the photos and videos!!! Highly recommend for any wedding event!!

    Incredible

    Photography was something that was very important to me so I wanted to make sure we found the right vendor for us and Lotus was great from start to finish. We loved the photos from engagement shoot, but they absolutely outdid themselves with our wedding photos. We had Zelin and Anthony as our photographers and I would recommend both of them! We also used Lotus for video (Philip was our videographer) and won’t receive the video until after the new year, but I’m sure it will be fantastic just like all of their work. They all worked so well together. I thought having 3 people walking around with cameras would be a lot, but I could barely tell that they were there and they captured every single moment of the wedding!

    Amazing photos!

    The Lotus team is so kind and responsive. We recently had our engagement shoot with Wilfredo and we are obsessed with the photos. The entire shoot was super efficient and fun, we were able to capture so many different shots. Looking forward to having Wilfredo capture our wedding next year!

    Absolutely the best decision we made. Z, Walter, and Anthony were amazing. They were so friendly and made us feel so comfortable. Booking with Lotus was seamless. We can’t wait to see our photos.

    Effortless Experience

    Lotus was extremely flexible especially since we had to change our date. They are very responsive and always willing to answer questions. The photographers themselves were amazing! Extremely friendly, give great directions and know how to make you feel comfortable. Our photos exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend them as a vendor.

    Thank you Lotus Photography!

    Lotus photography (Zelin and Angelo) did an amazing job capturing our special day. Zelin and Angelo were so easy to work with and constantly made us laugh and smile (which makes for great pictures). They were cheerful and experienced with the venue. They were super receptive to any requested pictures and even got me a fan outside because it was so hot during pictures. Thank you Lotus Wedding Photography Team!

    Amazing!!!!

    Lotus photography was absolutely amazing! Justin was great to coordinate with and answered all of our questions. Anthony and Albert were our photographers and every single picture we were in awe of! We couldn’t be more grateful to have had the pleasure of having these two photograph our wedding. They’ve given us memories for a lifetime!!

    Book lotus - amazing!

    Absolutely amazing!!

    From the moment I spoke to both Justin & Amanda, I knew this was the photography company that I wanted for my wedding. I love the family-owned, intimate feel of everyone that works there. Justin shot my engagement shoot - there was a hurricane along Northport Harbor July 2021 and his upbeat personality made standing in the rain and wind all worth it!

    For my wedding, I had Justin & Zelin. INCREDIBLE. They were there, but not there!! I didn’t notice them once at the church!
    They captured the most fun, candid, and posed photos of everyone at the party, every detail, and every type of photo of me and my husband. Plus, it rained on my wedding and we had so many laughs taking the pictures. Of all my requests for family photos, I had a special one to me, which was me holding a picture of my mom who passed away. They made the moment so special and captured such a beautiful memory I’ll always have from my wedding day. Book Lotus!

    Gorgeous photos

    Everyone at Lotus was a PLEASURE to work with! Justin and Amanda, the owners, are very responsive to emails and phone calls. Zelin, our photographer, was AMAZING! He and Anthony, his assistant, had us giggling all day and they made us feel very comfortable. We are extremely happy with the photos! I cannot recommend them enough!

    Absolutely Amazing Experience with Lotus!

    Working with Lotus was a dream! They are highly communicative, incredibly knowledgeable, and extremely professional. Planning and executing a wedding during a pandemic is very stressful, but having Lotus as our photo/video partner really made things much easier. We set a timeline way in advance and day of, everything was insanely smooth. In fact, we were early! Most of all, if you're going to spend the day with team, make sure they're easygoing and fun. Thank you Justin, Amanda, and the rest of the team! You made our day!
    We received the photos in the timeline we negotiated and they are more than I could have ever hoped for. If Lotus is available for your event, book them!

    Amazing Experience with Lotus Wedding Photography

    Amanda and Justin made this a great experience from the beginning. They were always so responsive, and they were very understanding when we had to move our wedding due to Covid. We were even able to keep our original photographer James, who we selected by looking at his portfolio.
    On the day of, our photographers James and Dave were absolutely incredible. James kept me and my husband laughing the entire time, which was great since it was freezing outside when we were taking our portraits. Dave was working the crowd on the dance floor and paying special attention to the moms, which was great. We decided to take group photos of our large families during the reception, and I was very worried this would take a very long time and that they would miss a lot of the fun. But James and Dave worked as a team to ensure this went quickly and smoothly. Dave gathered everyone into the room, James directed the positioning and took the photos, and they both worked with my venue and coordinator to bring the family groupings in and out quickly. I had thought this would take half an hour, and we were completely done in 10 minutes.
    One of the main reasons I chose Lotus was this photo I saw that they had taken at the Vineyards at Aquebogue, my venue. It’s a bride and groom kissing at night, in front of the entrance, with the most beautiful backlighting. We replicated it towards the end of the evening, and James showed me and my husband a sneak peak of it on his camera. Both of us were in tears at how beautiful it was. And that’s just one out of the hundreds of photos that were taken at our wedding. I am beyond thrilled that we were able to work with Lotus Photography – a company that goes out of their way to make you feel special.

    Fabulous Experience

    Justin and his team were truly incredible. They helped my August 2021 wedding effortless, beautiful, and so much fun! He did a great job creating the shots we were looking for. They kept us on schedule and really captured the emotion behind each moment. The whole day was captured beautifully and I highly recommend Lotus Photography!!

    Out of this world photographer!

    We chose Lotus Wedding Photography because we were so impressed by the pictures on their website - and the variety of styles they were able to capture! Kellen was our photographer and we could not have been happier with his talented service. He was super accommodating, professional, and friendly. Kellen helped us pose, made us laugh, and was patient with all of our requests. It was obvious that he had taken time to look over the Pinterest page I had shared with Lotus and he took the time to ensure we got the style of photos we were looking for. I have not gotten our pictures back just yet, but I am very excited to see his work!

    The best!

    We hired Lotus Wedding Photography to capture our day and preserve our memories for eternity…Justin and his team are professional, friendly and really enjoy what they do! They made it fun to have your picture taken and we had a lot of laughs! At Justin’s recommendation, we chose to do a “First Look” prior to our ceremony and it was the best decision we could have made. The timeline put together for us allowed us to not only get a lot of important photos out of the way, but we were able to enjoy our wedding! A wedding that we worked so hard to plan and we did not miss a single second of it! We are looking forward to seeing the photos and video and are excited to re-visit our big day! We are truly lucky to have found Lotus and if you are still looking for photo/video for your wedding, give them a call! They are not only TALENTED, they are wonderful people to work with!!!

    Fun and Easy Going!

    BOOK ASAP! Justin and his team were the best people to have around on our wedding day! We have never been in front of a professional camera/video before, so we were a little nervous from the start. But Justin and his team instantly made us comfortable- we were laughing all day. They were also super relaxed all day; I never felt pressured to take an excessive amount of photos, and felt totally comfortable asking for specific photos that we wanted. We already received a few photos from the day and can not wait to see all the rest! Justin and his wife, Amanda, were always very easy to communicate with throughout all of the planning, which is a major plus too!

    Speechless!!


    Going into my wedding I knew photos were going to be one thing I was really particular about. I wanted a really high end specific look and I was hoping to find it for a price that wouldn't break the bank. I came across lotus and was absolutely floored, looking at a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of photographers before stumbling upon lotus I noticed everyone had that same generic feel. The other companies I looked at all had the same poses, and pictures as the last. You could feel and see the lack of creativity in everything and when looking at these photos you assume they would be the best that these companies have to offer. Lotus had such an extensive beautiful gallery of photos. Each photographer different from the last offering a wide range of styles.
    After looking at just a few of their pictures I knew, even before meeting them, that they were the one. I met with Justin (who is one of the nicest most down to earth people I've ever met), we talked about my vision, my wants, his journey in starting the company and so much more.
    He explained how we could pick our own photographer based on their individual portfolios, and we booked him for our wedding and for a follow up shoot after as well (This is the best decision any bride can make !!). The company was not only great on the end of photography but worked with us every step of the way as our wedding was pushed back 3 times due to covid. They were always quick to answer and made sure no matter the change they would be there on the big day.
    The day of the wedding Justin and his team were awesome, not only there just to take pictures but we genuinely had such a great time talking and laughing with him. He wasn't just a photographer at my wedding but will forever be engrained in my memory . After the day of our wedding we decided to do a follow up photoshoot to capture some more of those beautiful, longing , editorial moments I wanted so badly. Justin was great at suggesting some of the most beautiful venues as options for our follow up location. That day was absolutely spectacular and we got some of the most amazing, beautiful, memorable shots, LADIES I MEAN IT JUST DO IT! The follow up shoot, like the day of the wedding was filled with lots of fun, laughs, and truly amazing pictures. I hope whoever makes it through this review just books them, they are the choice for every bride. With a wide range of photographers and styles they have someone for everyone, they are affordable, they are the sweetest people.

    All I Can Say is Wow!

    All I can say is wow! Run, don’t walk to book Lotus as your wedding photographers. Justin and Amanda were an absolute pleasure to work with and that is coming from someone who has to deal with the stress of having a wedding in the middle of a pandemic. We were originally supposed to have our wedding in November, but decided on a whim to move our wedding to an outdoor July wedding because of all the new restrictions. I called Justin less than two weeks before the new date we selected and he said no problem and personally photographed our wedding. It was an extremely hot day, everything was outside and on top of that our reception was met with a torrential downpour of rain. Despite all of that, Justin and his assistant Brent produced the most amazing wedding photos my husband and I could have asked for! There are a couple of one of a million, priceless shots they took of us dancing our first dance in the rain, with lightning in the background that are spectacular! All of our guests and anyone who has seen our photos have commented how beautiful they are. They were complete professionals and we are so glad we booked them for our special day. It might not have been the day that I had envisioned when we were planning our wedding, but the incredible photos they took will give us a lifetime of happiness. Justin is amazing and made us feel so comfortable because he’s so easygoing and funny. We will definitely be booking Lotus again for all of our milestones. Thank you guys so much for everything

    Justin from lotus photography went above and beyond to make my wedding a special day. I would highly recommend their company to everyone. They were professional, personable, and assisted me with all my needs. Highly recommend.

    Amazing artistry and professionalism!

    We are so glad we chose Lotus as our wedding photographer. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and beautiful photos made it so easy to work with them and they captured such amazing memories that we will cherish for the rest of our lives. We had a wonderful engagement shoot with James, who helped us look natural and have fun throughout, and our happiness shines through in our photos. For our wedding day, we had Vince and James as a team. Vince stuck to me throughout the day and did a great job capturing the candid joy and moments of the day. James took artistic shots and helped coordinate our poses. Both of them played with light, angles and the different areas throughout our venue to create a holistic album of photos and video footage. Overall, the Lotus team was an absolute pleasure to work with and I would recommend them and their talent for any bride!

    So Incredibly Happy With Lotus!

    We just got our full set of photos (all 1700 of 'em!) and videos (trailer, full edit, raw footage) back from Lotus and could NOT be happier. From the moment my husband and I met Justin we knew we had to book with the Lotus team -- he was super responsive, professional, personable and patient. We had a lot of questions and he took the time to answer them all and made us feel really comfortable and clear with the whole process. Unfortunately Justin wasn't free to shoot our wedding day but we had Albert, Zelin & Philip doing photography & video. Both came out AMAZING. They did such a perfect job capturing the essence of our day and made everything fun and enjoyable; not daunting. It was so important to me to not only enjoy my wedding day, but have a way to re-live it over and over again. I'm SO glad I have such amazing photos and video to do so. Book these guys!

    The Best Wedding Photography Company on LI!

    I cannot put into words how INCREDIBLE our experience with Lotus Photography was throughout our entire Wedding journey. When my husband and I first met with Justin, he already had a slideshow prepared of a wedding they shot at our venue, to show us the kind of photos we could take. He was funny, sincere, kind, and very accommodating. His passion is photography, and it truly shows. Amanda is sweet and friendly, and was always quick to answer any questions we had. As for the PHOTOS! I cannot say enough amazing things about Zelin, Tiffany, and Patrick, our photography dream team. They went above and beyond to capture beautiful shots that we will cherish forever. Z is so funny and so easy to work with, and his photos are literally breathtaking. Our Wedding was held at a waterside venue – Tiffany rolled up her pants to walk in the water to get a shot of my Husband and I’s reflection! Above and beyond is an understatement. We had about 35 people in our Wedding Party, even they complimented on how awesome the Lotus team was! I would not recommend anyone else but Lotus Photography!!

    Wedding for Ally & Bill H.

    I just want to take the time to say Justin and his crew were awesome!! They just filmed and photographed my wedding this past September and from the time they started until the very end they were very professional, fun, made my party and i feel comfortable, and hilarious. We recently got our pics back rand omg they are awesome! We can’t wait to make our books! We only got the trailer for video but now we want to eventually add on the short film because the trailer was that good!! The only SMALL hiccup i had was in the beginning the save the dates were printed really bad with missing inc etc. Amanda who runs the office immediately took charge and got new ones shipped out to me the next day!!! Amanda was so helpful with the whole planning process and going through the timeline of the whole day and how everything would be laid out. It was so easy. I stress over everything but this was one thing i didn’t get any bit of stressed for. Don’t second guess working with lotus!!! Justin has a wonderful personality who will keep you laughing the whole day! Book now!!!

    Top Notch Vendor

    Perfect all around experience for a perfect day!
    Lotus Photography came highly recommended after we posted on facebook that we were looking for a wedding photographer. After meeting with Justin at his office, we knew that Lotus and Team would be a perfect fit for our needs - and we were right!
    We hired Lotus for our photography as well as videography and we are thrilled with the outcome. Our photos and video are exactly what we had hoped, but most importantly the team they sent to us was wonderful to work with. We felt that they immediately bonded with our family and understood our vision for the day.
    Thank you Lotus and Team! A+++++
    As a side note, we are a blended family of 5 and our 3 adult children had become ordained ministers for our ceremony so that they could participate in our wedding.. It was a touching and emotional ceremony and after it was done, the photographer came over to us and said "I cried and I don't even know you"! I just felt that summed up how quickly he got to understand us and how we wanted our day to be represented.

    Amazing vendor!

    We used Lotus for our Long Island wedding on 9/22/19, and it was the best decision we could have ever made! Justin and Amanda were so kind and easy to work with, and were always so responsive to email or phone inquiries. Our photos were simply amazing-just under 2,000 photos for 2 photographers (Albert and Chris). Our photos were so amazing we could hardly pick for our album. Overall such a positive experience with Lotus as a vendor and would recommend them to anyone looking for quality photography services at a very reasonable rate. Thank you Lotus!

    Amazing!!!

    I used Lotus Wedding Photography for my wedding on August 24, 2019 and I do not have one negative thing to say. I looked at a few photographers before them and I decided to ultimately go with them because of how personable and professional they were. We met with Justin and Amanda to book and they were so helpful and so nice, any question or concern I had they took care of. My main photographer on my wedding day was Vince. Not only did he take amazing photos but he was hilarious. I am not the type to take photos and they actually make me really uncomfortable but he made me feel so comfortable and knew I was nervous so him making jokes with me really helped me throughout my day. I wanted my photos to all be done beforehand so I could just enjoy my wedding and I wanted them to be quick and easy and that is exactly what they did for me. We also got a videographer as well who also did an amazing job. I am so happy I decided to go with Lotus and I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone!

    Masters of their craft

    If we could give 10 stars, we would. Unfortunately 5 is the limit.

    Justin's entire team was absolutely phenomenal. We got married at Stonebridge in Smithtown, NY and Justin and Z knew exactly how to perfectly capture the vibe we were going for and planned out the entire day without having it feel like a chore. Before the wedding, Amanda helped us plan out the timing of everything so we wouldn't be stressed out and everything could happen naturally.

    Z went above and beyond to make our bridal party feel comfortable and by the end of the night, Z (camera) and Philip (videographer) felt like close friends moreso than a vendor team. So many of our guests raved about how comfortable they felt and how many great shots they came up with. Indoor shots, outdoor shots, they even used the weather (it started raining / snowing) to their advantage and got some absolutely stunning shots of us kissing in the snow under an umbrella.

    We could not be happier with Lotus Photography and would highly recommend them to anyone getting married or having a special event. They are beyond professional - they are truly masters of their craft.

    Thank you Justin, Z, Philip, and Matt for making our special day unforgettable.

    Such a pleasant experience

    Zelin and his assistant (I forgot his name 😣) were amazing. It was almost as if they just fit right in with our family and friends. They always kept their cool and just really made everything a pleasant experience. I'm so happy with everything ! I can't wait too see our photos! I can't even express how wonderful Lotus Wedding Photography was throughout the entire process.

    Phenomenal!

    Lotus was absolutely phenomenal to work with during the entire wedding planning process! I had my mind completely set on booking with lotus after seeing their amazing work. The lotus team gave valuable suggestions/advice for the day of to ensure everything ran smoothly. They were very quick with responding to emails with any questions I had and even after the wedding continued to assist me which meant a lot! On my wedding day, the photographer and videographer were awesome to work with! They were on time, patient, had great personalities, and made my husband and I feel comfortable in front of the camera which was important. They were also extremely understanding if we lost track of time in certain areas and still ensured to capture the moment. James had us laughing the entire day! We can not wait to receive our photos & video!! Thank you so much lotus!

    Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

    Words can not do justice to how grateful we are to have had the Lotus team for our wedding day! From the second we walked into the studio and spoke with Justin we knew this was the photographer for us. Justin and Amanda were so accommodating and helpful through our entire planning process. The engagement shoot was the preview to our wedding day with the unique and intimate photos we received. Our family is still talking about our beautiful save the dates! Then when we met Chris at our final appointment we knew he would fit right into our wedding day as our second photographer! The day of went so smooth, the Lotus team made sure we got all of our outdoor photos even though Mother Nature was not being too cooperative, they even pulled us out to get some rain shots which I can not wait to see!! There was never a time we felt rushed, we even got to attend our entire cocktail hour. Not to mention they kept us laughing the entire day! They made everything so seem less, to say they did a great job would be an understatement. Justin, Chris, Walter and Wilfredo were absolutely amazing and we would highly recommend Lotus for any occasion. Thank you so much for you professionalism, insight, patience and for being a part of the absolute best day of our lives.

    I love team Lotus!!!

    The Lotus team is amazing!!! When planning my wedding, choosing Lotus was one of the easiest (and best) decisions I made! I did a lot of research on all of the photographers in the area, and the wedding photos done by Lotus speak for themselves. Not only are they beautiful, but they capture the couple in such a magical way. I knew I absolutely had to have this team for my wedding. When I met Justin and the team, I booked immediately. The Lotus team is so passionate about what they do and it shows! They have amazing communication and pay attention to detail. On the day of my wedding I had the DREAM TEAM! Justin was my main photographer, James was my second photographer, and Walter was my videographer. On my wedding day, the Lotus team was everything a bride could ask for. They arrived early, they knew exactly what to do and began right away! This team is so incredibly professional and gave my wedding day a sense of organization. Justin made sure that I got every photo I previously requested and helped keep us on schedule throughout the day. When we got our photos and videos back all we could say was WOW! Not only did they give us an incredible amount of photos, but they captured EVERY moment. They captured pure emotion in their photos that take me right back to my wedding night and for that I am forever grateful. The video was also an absolute show stopper. I can honestly say I have watched my trailer every single day since getting it! It is a true work of art. I 100% recommend the Lotus team to anyone who wants to work with a professional and knowledgeable team, who is honest and kind, will keep you laughing and takes the best photos and videos on Long Island! Thank you, Justin and the entire Lotus team!!!!!

    Simply the best!

    My Husband and I are both active duty military and stationed in Colorado and planned our July 27th, Floral Park, NY wedding from out of town. We found Lotus Wedding Photography from their excellent reviews and chose them based on their prompt responses and excellent communication. From the moment we met with the staff we knew we made the right choice. The Lotus team helped us find off-site photography locations that fit our budget, helped us create our timeline, and were flexible with our needs. Our photographer, Zelin, and his team were exceptional, friendly, and personable throughout the entire day. We received almost 2,000 photos (all of them fantastic shots). I highly recommend Lotus Wedding photography in every aspect! THANK YOU SO MUCH A++

    Lotus was absolutely amazing. From start to finish they were helpful, responsive, and professional. Our pictures came out amazing! They listened to our wants and also offered suggestions that truly helped with the flow of our day. The candid shots they got during our ceremony were absolutely amazing. Hiring Lotus was the easiest and best decision we made for our wedding!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can not say enough about Lotus they are absolutely amazing! We got married in August and we received our photos and video the other day and we can’t be happier! I feel like I’m watching the most professional movie ever and the pictures are out of this world! Justin and his crew have been absolutely fantastic from day one! The first phone conversation I was sold! He was so knowledgeable and helpful and everything else fell right into place! I would recommend them 1000 times over! If your looking for someone reliable and trustworthy this is the company you want! I felt like Justin was my new BFF by the end of the day! Stunning work and a great team...we couldn’t be more happy! Thanks Lotus!!

    we became family

    First look of Lotus’ sample wedding photos from wedding wire we booked an appointment right away. We met Amanda and by just telling us what our special day would be like and by just showing us their sample photos and videos we immediately booked and saved our date. Justin and Amanda treated us a family since the beginning... I would email them late at night (bridezilla moment) and they would instantly answer my question back.
    After the wedding, they told us the photos will be ready in 6-8 weeks and videos in 3 months. Unfortunately a month after our wedding we had a loss in the family. I emailed Justin and asked that maybe he can send me some pictures of my aunt from the wedding.. in an instant he sent all the beautiful pictures and not just that he rushed the editor so he can finalize my wedding teaser video. What they did to me and Cj and to our families are just incredible and words cannot explain and describe how thankful we are. Lotus isnt just a vendor that you can hire and pay.. Lotus will welcome you to their home and you will automatically become a part of their amazing Family. ❤️

    Justin and Amanda were an absolute pleasure to work with! They made us feel comfortable and came up with beautiful poses that made for amazing photos. They were more than receptive to requests we had for specific photos we wanted. My husband and I were thrilled when we got our photos back to see what a beautiful job they did. They were meticulous with setting up each shot with lightings and angles. I’m so happy we decided to go with Lotus and I would recommend them highly to any bride!

    Lotus Made Our Day!

    Lotus Wedding Photography made my wedding an incredible, and memorable experience! We had Albert as our photographer, Angelo as our videographer and Chris as our assistant. From the moment I met these guys, I felt at ease. We originally had our planning meeting with Chris, and it was so much fun to have him work with us on our special day. We geeked out together about wanting Doctor Who pictures, and how to get the perfect shot of the Montauk Lighthouse. Just from the planning meeting, we came out excited! I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Lotus, if you want to enjoy taking pictures, feel no pressure, have fun, have a good laugh, and so much more. Even when I got emotional, they were more prepared than me- pulling tissues out from who knows where! We all bonded over Disney vacations, and I just felt like I could be myself, which made the pictures authentic, and shine! I was blown away by how fast we received all the photos, including some gorgeous edited photos, and our trailer, in just about 6 weeks! The video trailer encompassed our day perfectly. It captured so many moments that we missed, being so busy throughout the night. If you are scared about posing, positioning, et cetera- they have you covered! My wedding was perfection- and a huge THANK YOU goes out to Lotus for playing such a huge role in that. If you are thinking about booking Lotus, DO IT- and it will make the happiest day of your life that much happier!

    Love them!

    Finding the perfect photographer/videographer for our wedding day was important to us and we had heard wonderful things about Lotus. We booked them for our wedding on 7/14/19 and definitely made the right choice! Zelin, our photographer was very professional and kept my husband and I comfortable throughout the day as we took photos. You could see how passionate he is about his work and even showed us a sneak peek of a photo or two as we were taking them during the reception. They looked amazing!! We also booked Lotus for video services and loved working with Walter and Matt! We cannot wait to see all the photos from the day and the video. Highly recommend!

    5 Stars!!!!!

    I knew that I wanted to book Lotus as soon as I saw my friend’s photographs from her wedding. Her shots were so swoon worthy that as soon as I got engaged I eagerly called to make an appointment (Sorry husband, no negotiations on the photographer, Lotus was a MUST). I met with Justin and he was so down to earth and showed me the previous weddings they shot at my selected venue and it was a done deal.
    All of their photographers are creative and have epic portfolios that it was hard to choose one. Ultimately we chose Zelin for our big day. Prior to the wedding we had an engagement shoot with him at Old Westbury Gardens. He was able to capture gorgeous photographs that completely blew me away. He truly has artistic abilities that someone with the average eye lacks.
    At the wedding, all of the photographers, videographer, and assistant were wonderful to work with. They were down to earth and made taking pictures with family and friends a great experience. At the church the limo broke down and Zelin even offered for us to take a ride in his car (luckily the limo did start up again, lol). But that is a testament of who Zelin and Lotus are. They are not there to just take photographs for you, they are there to make your day the most magical time all the while willing to lend a helping hand when it is needed. It was amazing to sit down with my husband and see the events we missed but also a refresher of everything we got to experience. I wish that I could get a vinyl frame for each and every single one of our photographs. Zelin and his crew truly did a remarkable job and I would recommend any future brides to check out the amazing photographers at Lotus.

    Gorgeous Photos!

    The photographers showed up exactly on time, caught beautiful shots of every detail of the wedding and captured some candid moments! I didn't even notice them during the ceremony or reception but was able to see some of the shots they took and they were gorgeous. We got exactly what we wanted and couldn't be happier!

    Amazingggg

    Lotus came to the rescue when I was last minute trying to book a photographer with a certain style that I was looking for. I waited until November (silly me) and I was stuck in a rut. I didnt even meet with Justin and his team when I booked, I actually did everything via phone and email because I was super busy and never had any time to get out there but that didnt take away from the super smooth and easy process it was to plan everything! Justin sent me over all of the portfolios of his photographers that were available for my day and I was able to choose with style I liked best. That led me to choosing James! James knew he was up to a hard task being only one photographer for an 18 person bridal party and a two huge families but guess what.. he did it! When I got my pictures back the tears started flowing all over again. I just couldn't believe how many beautiful shots he got that I didnt even notice him taking the day and night of! I wanted a photographer that was more in the background and wasnt in my face having me pose here and there and besides the bridal party photos and getting ready (which ofcourse are all posed and staged) he did it! So many raw and real emotions were captured through his photos which made me one happy bride. Highly recommend them!

    Amazing experience with Lotus

    I had an amazing experience with lotus. It was one of the few things I did not need to stress about for my wedding! It was easy to schedule a meeting and discuss everything that I wanted. They showed up on time and were very professional. My wedding video and pictures came out AMAZING! People are still talking about my photos 6 months later. I would definitely recommend lotus!!

    Love Lotus!

    James and Jen are wonderful photographers that we would not hesitate to recommend to anyone. They managed to capture the perfect amount of staged and candid photos. Jen was amazing and really made sure to catch every important moment and must have shots, my husband and I were on cloud nine and had no concept of time, Jen was on it! Jen also played into my very crazy groomsmen (9) and their group shots were hilarious, loved her creativity! We also used Lotus for video. So many precious moments were captured we would have never had to the chance to see. If you are debating on splurging for the video, do it! My only regret was not getting the Silver package for the full edit. Lotus was great at communicating and always had quick responses. They were helpful while making our video trailer and album and it came together with ease. We are SO in love with our photos and video! Lotus was the best choice for the best day of our lives.

    Lotus was an amazing company to work with. They were responsive, efficient and on the day of James had me laughing. The photos came out beautiful! Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

    Perfection

    My wife and I used Lotus photography and videography for our wedding and were blown away by how perfect everything went. They help you from beginning to end. They made sure we had plenty of time to get every picture needed plus were beyond patient with every extra request we had for specific picture locations at our venue. Every member of the crew made sure to keep us laughing a comfortable the entire time. We received our pictures and trailer video and were blown away with how they came out. I highly recommend Lotus Photography. And guarantee you will not be disappointed!

    Thankful to have found Lotus

    I found Lotus Photography after doing some research online. When we came in for our first meeting, Justin was very personable and down to earth. He made us feel comfortable and at ease with the whole process. We picked Zelin after seeing some of his work, and we are so happy with the choice. We have not seen our photos yet, but we can say that Zelin was friendly and made sure that all the pictures were perfect. Even if there was a little hair in my face, he would let me know. Zelin followed all of our requests made for the day, and gave us some good suggestions on poses and areas to photograph. We feel very lucky to have found such a great team.

    Amazing!

    From the moment we sat with Justin to go over the details of our wedding. We knew they were going to do an amazing job. We were both so excited for our wedding day and knew Lotus would capture every moment and detail.
    The day of our wedding was a small blizzard and our photographers James and Chris showed up and made everyone feel relaxed and helped me continue to enjoy the beautiful day. They were so helpful and amazing to my family and friends.
    We received our photos and I’m absolutely in love with every one. It was hard to decide which one to use for our thank you cards. We decided to put three on them. We have told everyone how amazing they are. Every time I look at any of our photos I am filled with happiness. They captured the love that was flowing that day.
    Thank you Lotus team for giving us beautiful lifelong memories of our wedding day.

    Lotus was the best!

    My husband and I chose to book Lotus for our wedding photography and videography. When we met with Justin, we were very impressed with his photos, and felt he was a genuine person. We were so happy that we chose to book Justin, Albert and Walter. We received beautiful photos, in a very short amount of time. We also received the movie trailer just a few months after we got married, and finally were so excited to watch all of the moments that they caught throughout our special day. Justin and his team were so incredibly professional, and kind. You will not regret booking them :)

    Excellent all around!

    So many wonderful things to say! I first found Lotus on Instgram shortly after getting engaged. After meeting with one other photographer my husband and I knew Lotus was the best fit for us. BEAUTIFUL photos and fair pricing what more could you ask for? We met James during our engagement shoot in July. I don't like attention on me so I was nervous but he made us both feel very comfortable very quickly . Amanda and the rest of the Lotus team quickly responded to all of my emails making communication a breeze. The day of the wedding was so much fun. After all of the traditional photos were taken and the ceremony was complete it was like there was no photographer at all so we were able to relax and have a great time. We got so many gorgeous photos including tons of candids which is great since the day goes so quickly. We got all of our photos on a USB drive as well as online so we were easily able to share with family. I highly recommend having 2 photographers as well as a videographer. Having 2 photographers allowed the same moment to be captured from 2 perspectives and I never felt rushed at any point during the day. We love our trailer as do our family and friends. A few "wedding skeptics" even told us they now want to have a wedding after seeing our trailer. Thanks for capturing the best day of our lives

    Amazing! Love the crew

    From the very beginning just by viewing the lotus instagram, my fiancé and I knew we would be choosing lotus for our wedding photography, if we would have seen their page sooner we would have chose them for our engagement shoot as well! (They have a great combo package) so skipping to the day of the wedding....what a pleasant and wonderful experience with these guys. Justin was our main photographer and he was AMAZING. He was calming me down but also making me laugh the entire time, he is such a down to earth/funny guy! My husband told me after the wedding that he really liked the crew that shot for the guys and their pictures made me laugh and some cry (but in a good way of course) . Got back our album within a month!! Maybe even sooner and the pictures were unbelievable. SO many compliments by friends and family it made me so happy:) if you have a specific vision or style they will do exactly what you request and then some which was very important to us. Definitely worth checking out this team for sure.

    Nothing but love for Lotus!

    Initially, our first selected photographer was part of a package with our venue. However, after seeing Lotus pop up on Instagram and reading their reviews, I fell in love with their style. My husband and I scheduled a phone conference with Justin, right around the holidays, and from that conversation on, I knew it was the right fit. Literally, when Justin was looking up the time sunset was on our date, we were like “We need to book them.” Justin was very attentive and informative. I interacted with Amanda via email who was just as attentive and informative. When I came in for the details appointment, the studio was very clean and modern. I loved it! Our photographer was Albert and his assistant was Chris. They were so much fun and extremely personable! We highly recommend them. The pictures came out GORGEOUS and even came before the end of the window they gave us. We can not recommend Lotus enough.

    Amazing Experience

    My husband and I only met with one photography company and we instantly knew we wanted Justin and the Lotus team to be our photographers for our wedding. James and Justin were amazing from start to finish. They were truly the dream team. They made the whole day so relaxing and fun while keeping the day flowing and on schedule. We took so many amazing photos. They were truly incredible and I can't thank them enough for making our day so special and for giving us memories to last forever!

    Amazing amazing experience. My fiance and I loveeee our photos. James made us laugh so much that it translated so well into our photos. We cannot wait to share our photos with our loved ones. We also switched venue locations the day before our shoot and Amanda was so accomodating and responsive. If Lotus did destination weddings in the carribean we'd definitely choose them. So happy.

    So happy we chose Lotus

    James was our photographer, and he is so easy to work with!!! He had a way about him that put us at ease in front of the camera and was so nice to talk to as well. We’ve met also with Justin and Amanda, who are both so laid back and sweet and just easy to talk to. Picking vendors for a wedding is stressful, but they made the decision to pick them so easy! Our wedding was only 5 days ago so we haven’t gotten out pictures back yet, but we were shown plenty of James’ work that I’m so excited to see them.

    THANK YOU to everyone at lotus for such an awesome experience!

    Amazing experience so far

    I hired Lotus for my upcoming November 2019 wedding based upon the great reviews on Wedding Wire. Although my wedding has not yet occurred, I could not be more happy with them! We chose Zelin as our photographer and he came out to do our engagement shoot. He was so nice, easy to work with, and he made the experience fun! The photos turned out amazing and I can't wait for him to shoot our wedding!

    Felt like family!

    Lotus Wedding Photography was hands down the BEST vendor that I hired. James and Walter came to my hotel and took care of everything! They had no problem moving furniture or adjusting anything to ensure my photos were perfect. My husband had Vince and Philip at his family home and my mother in law LOVED them. They not only got handsome shots of him but, included the parts of his family home that meant so much to her! When it came to my bridal party, they knew how to get everyone pumped and ready for amazing shots! They loved how quick and easy every shot was and I was so happy that we stayed ahead of schedule through the whole process. When it came time to go to the venue, they were always ensuring that everything was perfect not only photo wise but, that we were truly happy. There was a point in time that the assistant ran to the bridal suite just to get me flats since my heels were killing me! We even had the photo booth from them and Anthony ran the booth perfectly. Our guests have been raving about how much fun they had in the booth and how helpful he was. All in all we loved having Lotus for our wedding! They were like family joking and having a great time with us.

    Simply put amazing!

    We were trying to plan a budget friendly wedding but photos were super important to us! When we found lotus and met them we were sold immediately!! Aside from the laid back and friendly vibe the photos blew us away! We heard so many great things about James so he was our immediate choice for our wedding.

    The wedding day came and James was amazing! He was so relaxed and made everyone so comfortable the entire time. He got all those special moments I was hoping for but was never in your face or distracting from the evening, I kept saying I would always find him exactly where and when I needed him, which is a big deal for brides to have to search for people that day.

    Our photos just arrived and I cannot believe how gorgeous they are! Absolutely breathtaking the angles and coloring he captured were unbelievable. We had a small wedding but we still got over 1200 images that really showcased our personality. James was very open to any suggestions we had and I sent them in prior to the big day and also we were able to decided things in the moment so it felt very easy and fun.

    Weddings can be so overwhelming and stressful even the small ones but with lotus and specifically James made our day feel so relaxed and fun, exactly how a wedding should be. I highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding, you will not be sorry in the slightest and your day will stress free.

    Very Transparent, Honest & Upfront!!!

    We sat down with Justin & within 5 minutes of him speaking my fiance and I knew we wanted him to shoot our special day! There was no pressure with signing a contract or leaving a deposit. He was very honest about pricing even suggesting where we can cut to save money! Quality of a photographers work is very important but I also felt Justin has a rare quality of relieving stress on a bride's special day! We felt for the quality of work and what Lotus is providing is more than fair. I highly recommend Lotus Photography for your Wedding day. Thank You Justin for making this process that much easier.

    The BEST photographers!

    As soon as we walked into the office of Lotus Photography we were instantly impressed! Lotus was the last photographer we met with and we walked out of our initial meeting with such a great feeling that it became clear to us we had to book them as soon as we could! Our first meeting was with the owner Justin, and we had an awesome time talking to him - it was like hanging out with a friend. His wife Amanda was so helpful any time we contacted Lotus with questions and she always got back to us right away. She helped us choose our main photographers by sending us their online portfolios and we honestly had a hard time deciding because they are all so talented. In the end, we chose Zelin and James. Zelin shot our engagement photos and they came out incredible! He knew exactly where to set up in the park for the best shots, how to utilize the sun for the best lighting, and guided us with our poses - which really helped us feel at ease. We also laughed so much we knew our wedding day would be a blast!

    The day of our wedding we had Zelin, James, and Angelo - to say they were incredible would be an understatement. The three of them worked so well together and made the entire day so much fun for us! Everything ran so smoothly that we were actually EARLY with our schedule and had extra time in between things to relax. When we received our photos we were so impressed not only with the work they did, but also that they were able to turn it around so quickly (just 6 weeks!). We can’t wait to share all of our photos with our family and friends. The team went above and beyond our expectations, and if we could do it all over again we wouldn’t hesitate to book Lotus Photography!

    We just had our wedding August 17, 2018 and we used Lotus Photography for our wedding. I had been following them on social media for quite some time and was beyond obsessed with their creative ways of capturing a moment and how beautiful and crisp every shot came out. We love how reasonable their pricing was for their expertise and how nice, professional, and down to Earth they were. We are a pretty fun, sarcastic couple ourselves and at first we were leaning towards their photographers that had more comedy in their presence. We were told that all photographers in Lotus are trained by them directly, so that they capture the photos as beautifully as their reputation reflects. All photographers but one- James. We were told he was the only photographer who came in, with multiple weddings under his belt, and did not need any training. Impressed, we inquired further and upon hearing that he was more of a quiet photographer due to his mind running on overload, calculating the perfect lighting, movement, and shot 10 steps ahead of the one he was capturing, we kind of took a step back, BUT when we saw his portfolio...we knew we HAD to have him as our guy!!
    James showed up at the hotel where I was getting ready, with his assistant, Angelo. They immediately made my awkward moments of smiling at my inanimate gown A LOT less awkward, and photos with my 2 small girls effortless. He even let my oldest daughter, 6, Kailyn to dictate some shots, which she loved! At our first reveal, Angelo walked with me and both of them guided us through the staged photos, in the heat, standing in the marsh, tall grass, and almost on a rock in the middle of a pond (until a big snake slithered out!). They helped get the small gnats out of the tulle train, and moved my hair where it needed to be for each shot. They cracked jokes the entire time and were a complete delight to work with. At the reception, EVERY TIME someone was taking a photo, there was James taking one too. Absolutely recommend!!!

    Vince, Albert and our assistant Angelo were the 3 amigos and the absolute BEST at our wedding. Vince was with us and Albert was with my husband and he fit right in making the guys loosen up and laugh to take photos that even my husband said "thank god we switched to them, he's great!". We didn't get our photos back yet, but the few sneaks that Vince showed us has me constantly checking my email for updates! I wouldn't have wanted anyone else there making us laugh and taking our photos.

    From the first time we contacted lotus, to a year after our wedding day, we have raved about them. Amanda was always very responsive and accommodating. We clicked from our first meeting. We met Justin at our engagement shoot and instantly feel in love with him as well. He made us feel very comfortable and allowed us to be ourselves throughout our shoot. On our wedding day, him and Walter were nothing short of perfect. They were able to capture shots from when we didn’t even think they were around. Again, they made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera and captured all the important shots that we requested as well as many more that we never would have thought of. Lotus is absolutely, the best bang for your buck. You never want to skimp out on your wedding photos; they’re all you have left of that day once it’s all over You can trust in lotus to provide you with beautiful photos that will capture every special moment of your special day. I am still amazed, every time I look back at our album, at the beauty and perfection that lotus has provided us in their work. I also want to mention that we’ve been to other weddings with lotus as the photographer. From a guest point of view, they were very professional, and blended in well with the crowd. They weren’t all up in everyone’s faces and in the way like I’ve seen with other photographers. We barely even noticed they were there. And the photo booth props are great! We wish they were offering that service when we booked with them.

    I cannot say enough good things about Justin and his team. They are all so talented, professional, and down-right fun. They had our bridal party and family laughing the entire day and took all the pictures we wanted and even more. They helped make everything run smoothly, helped us stay relaxed and have fun. At one point, Justin and Eddy were laying on the grass to get the right lighting for our pictures. They do such beautiful work and I had even more great things to say when we got out pictures back. Looking at our pictures, they captured every single moment in such a beautiful way. We couldn't be happier with our pictures! Highly highly highly recommend Lotus!

    There is not enough space to write all of the positive things about this photography company. Justin and Amanda are so genuine and are about their clients. They set me up with James and Rebecca as my photographers for my wedding day on 6/23/2017. They both showed up early and we're business! Their assistant was great too!!!!! The photos were spectacular and everyone was so professional kind and creative. All of my photos are AWESOME AND BEAUTIFUL! They suggested perfect first reveal locations and took my vision into 1000% account. They were so kind and accommodating. I got such a beautiful mix of traditional , candid and artsy and some with a twist. My friends and family are still raving about them. LOOK NO MORE BOOK THEM! You won't be dissapointed !!

    If you're still in the market for a photographer, BOOK LOTUS NOW! If you already have a photographer booked, cancel with them, and then BOOK LOTUS NOW! My husband and I were married on 4/28 and there aren't enough characters to TRULY describe how I feel about Lotus & my wedding! Firstly, I'm a control freak, 100% type A personality, which means I spent TONS OF TIME fine tuning every single detail for my wedding. Before Lotus, we scheduled a visit with a photography co. that I was pretty sure I wanted. As far as I was concerned, I was walking into our appt. with them to hand over a check and cross it off my list. During the meeting though, my husband made it known he was NOT impressed with this place and we ended up walking out of there without putting down a deposit. At the time, I was pissed, because it meant more looking later that day. I found Lotus around 11pm, emailed Amanda around midnight, and had a response by 8 the next morning. By 2 in the afternoon, we were sitting in their office. Justin is AMAZING! He was honest, charismatic, and so forthcoming with information. WE WERE HOOKED! When we met with them to finalize things for the wedding, I was so confident in Justin's ability to capture my day perfectly that I didn't even compile a shot list, which for me, is ASTONISHING. The day of the wedding was nothing short of a fairy tale. Justin and his team were prompt and immediately started snapping away. My bridal party STILL talks about how much fun they had taking our photos! Justin was on the floor, getting impossible angles, and making us laugh the entire time! I'm so glad we walked out of that other studio that day, because I don't think they would have made me this happy. I LITERALLY stare at my photos daily. I honestly had the PERFECT day thanks to Justin and his team. Your photos & video are really all you have after the whole show is over and Lotus has given us a gift we will treasure forever. We're HONORED to be a part of the Lotus Family! Thank you!

    After I got engaged on May 12, 2015 and we decided to have our wedding on May 12, 2017 I knew I had time to plan.. but to me, my priority was having the best photography, so I did some research on Long Island wedding photography and came across Lotus..... I was so taken back by their beautiful photos!!! I couldn't stop looking through all of them.
    I searched around for other options... but lets be honest, nothing else compares.
    When we finally got a chance to meet with Justin it was a no brainier, I was already obsessed with their photos and meeting with him in person, he is seriously just so down to earth, we booked right then and there 2 years in advance and it was the best decision I made.

    We met with Justin for our engagement shoot. The location was in a wine bar which has a really nice rustic look to it- We were so nervous, once Justin arrived he was honest, He said that his is going to be awkward for the first 5 mins and I promise you, after that its going to be fun... and it was, he had us laughing the whole time, the photos came out amazing and we had a blast with him.

    The day of the wedding I had Walter, Justin, Zelin by our side - and them three together are hysterical! they had me and my girls laughing so much when they got to my house, We had an incident with champagne exploding everywhere and they got some really great photos. The whole night they made us so comfortable and made it fun and that is what you want on the biggest day of your life. When we got back the photos and video, we couldn't be happier. Our Trailer literally makes me cry every time - it captures the day perfectly!
    Thank you to the whole Lotus team for capturing the best day of our life!

    My husband and I did extensive research on our photographer. Once we found lotus we knew we had to have them. From the first time coming in contact with them we already loved them. They responded right away and answered every crazy email I had. When we booked our engagement shoot we where nervous because we aren't that photogenic. But once we met Justin he made us feel comfortable and had so much fun. The pictures came out BEAUTIFUL. As for our wedding we where comepltly blown away. Our pictures are stunning. The day of Justin and his crew made everything so much fun. Even though it downpoured that day they still took AMAZING pictures and made us so happy and kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. At some points we felt like they weren't even there and they captured awesome moments between my husband and I and friends and family. We couldn't have been happier with them and I highly recommend them. They became family and we hope to work again with them in the future. Thank you Justin and Amanda and the lotus team you guys truly are the best!

    It's hard to put into words how thrilled I am with my experience with this company from start to finish. When I got engaged back in November 2015 I started looking at photographers right away. I made appointments with 2 prominent long island photographers and after meeting with them there was just clearly something missing so I kept looking. I stumbled upon Lotus' page on "theknot" and was struck by the beauty of the images I saw. I immediately contacted them for an appointment and they responded almost instantly and gave me an appointment for the following day. Amanda is awesome, so friendly and so helpful with scheduling, questions, ect. As soon as I walked into the office to Justin's smiling face I instantly felt at ease and just much differently than I had at the two prior photographer meetings. He is such a sweetheart and an incredible photographer and just an awesome person. I loved his sense of humor, his honesty, and most importantly his gorgeous photographs. He did not try to sell my things I did not need, he was not pushy, and did not make you feel like just another client. After talking to him for a bit I just knew it was the right decision to book this company, and I did so on the spot without thinking twice. Fast forward to our engagement shoot and Justin was so much fun, hilarious and made the experience so positive. It is SO IMPORTANT to feel comfortable with your photographer because if you don't it will show in the photos. We had such a blast with Justin and the pictures came out amazing, we couldn't be happier with them!
    Fast forward even more to the wedding day (June 2017) and Justin, Zelin, Walter and Tarif were an absolute dream to work with. They blended right in and made the whole experience such a positive one. I loved being around them and was so comfortable knowing they would produce amazing photos and video for us. We are in beyond in love with our photos and video, THANK YOU LOTUS!!!!!

    Justin and Walter were beyong phenomenal! They were so professional and fun throughout the entire day and made everything seem effortless. Justin's personality complimented both my husband and my personalities perfectly and he was such a pleasure to work with. I can't say anything but wonderful things about this company and it was an absolute dream come true to have them be a part of our wedding.

    From the moment we met with Justin and saw his work, we knew we wanted to use him as our photographer. On the day of the wedding, both he and his assistant did a great job of getting all of the important shots without making a big hassle. The weather wasn't great, but all of our photos still came out fantastic. I couldn't recommend Lotus more highly and I would encourage anyone to use them!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lotus! From start to finish everything went smoothly, as planned, they were on time, and so professional. We hadn't met the photographer until the day of, which made me a little nervous as we didn't do an engagement shoot, but Vince was great and made us feel at ease. Every detail was discussed and thought of prior to the event and the final result is amazing! The photos turned out wonderful! Looking back at the video, I am so amazed at how many things they were able to capture and I didn't even realize they were there! They weren't overly in our face, but still managed to capture everything which was fantastic! We will absolutely be using them for future projects and we highly recommend them! You cannot beat the quality and price!

    First off I want to say, with the atmosphere alone already my gut feeling these are the guys I want for my wedding! All of the photographer's work I was shown was spectacular but I chose to go with Zelin and Phillip. Needless to say, I couldn’t be happier with my choice. You could tell these guys KNOW what they're doing. The variety of beautiful shots I received were incredible and beyond my expectation. If you want something amazing to hold on to the rest of your life.. go with these guys!

    I could not be happier I choose Lotus. I personally am kind of shy and don’t like taking photos even with friends but Justin and Vince were so professional and had us laughing and completely comfortable from the moment they arrived. The staff made sure our day ran smoothly. I couldn’t have asked for a better team for my day. My sister was so impressed she just booked Lotus for her wedding as well AND not to mention, my Photo’s were incredible. Lotus truly made me feel and look like a princess.

    Just received our photos and our photographers James and Vince were amazing!! I could not have asked for a better team. Photography was very important to my husband and I, and after doing a bunch of research we came across Lotus. From the moment that we walked into the studio, we knew that this was the place. They were fun, easy going and out photos are OUTSTANDING! I could not recommend them enough!

    The team at Lotus was amazing since the first time we stepped into their office. My husband and I just clicked with Justin at our first appointment and I knew we were going to have a good time with him. We had two photographers for the day; both showed up on time and kept us laughing the entire day and night. Justin knew exactly what kind of pictures I wanted and knew just what to say to get me to smile for real. We can’t thank the team at Lotus enough for all the hard work they put into making our special day extra amazing! 5 stars just aren’t enough to express our gratitude and excitement!

    We were pleased with the services we received from Lotus. Our photographer James did a terrific job of capturing our wedding, despite the fact that the wedding was held indoors with very bad light and little decorations. Also, we didn't have much time for creative shots, but James managed to capture quite a few creative details. He covered all of the small details, the group pictures, and many photos of people in motion - dancing, laughing, toasting. he is truly talented, takes beautiful, very natural photographs and uses interesting angles and views. This guy is lighting master he truly captured the energy and emotions of our wedding and the beauty of the our venue. We absolutely love our wedding pictures and will treasure them for many years. He has a good eye and timing to grab the 'moments in between the moments. We highly recommend him, you will not be disappointed!!!
    fantastic photographer!!! flexible, friendly, and great eye for unique and beautiful photographs.
    Thank you so much Lotus!

    We booked with Lotus for our July 4 wedding. Justin and amanda were excellent to work with upon booking and we immediately felt a connection. They took our engagement shoot and we had so much fun. Justin, Zelin, and Walter (videographer) did an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Our photos are beautiful and we love our highlight trailer. They are very talented. I would highly reccommend!

    From the second we walked into Lotus' office and met with Justin, we knew they were going to capture our special day. We used Lotus for our engagement photos and wedding day and I cannot express how WONDERFUL they were to work with. Lotus has shot so many weddings of family and friends over the last year and a half that we knew we were going to get the most beautiful wedding photos. What we did not know was just what wonderful people they are! They made EVERY moment of our wedding day memorable and were so much fun to hang out with! Walter, Justin, James, Zelin and Amanda have all contributed to our experience with Lotus, from videography, save the dates, engagement photos and finally our wedding day that I feel like they are family. They are superstars and we feel so blessed that they shared in the honor of our wedding day. I cannot recommend them enough, their photos speak for themselves but the whole experience from start to finish was incomparable to any other vendor experience we've had. They truly made our wedding.

    Overall I couldn't be happier with my choice. I first emailed them for prices which they sent me. Then after some email communication they sent me a couple links to photographers that were available on our wedding day. I looked over there work and chose James. I chose him because I wanted a lot of candid shots that captured our personalities and I could see he would do that. James was extremely professional and enjoyable to work with. This guy knows his stuff! During the reception we never even saw him but rest assured he was there! He's not in your way and lets you enjoy your special day. We got over 1100 pics on a flash drive! I would definitely recommend then to anyone that is looking for photography!!!

    Justin and his team surpassed our expectations! While reviewing different photographers I came across Lotus and instantly loved their work. They are very easy to deal with and their response time to any questions is almost instantaneous. When we met with Lotus to inquire about pricing we walked in, spoke with Justin for a bit and knew he was perfect for us. While choosing a vendor that's going to be working with you all day long the last thing we were looking for was someone who's robotic and lacks personality. Meeting with Justin was more like hanging out with a friend and that's EXACTLY what we wanted. The day of our wedding they showed up on time and ready to go! As someone who isn't comfortable in front of the camera I felt so at ease working with them. Justin encouraged me though every single shot and he truly made me feel beautiful. We also added video which I thought was going to make me nervous but they're so good at what they do you don't even know the camera is rolling. Our bridal party had a blast taking pictures and they definitely got in a bunch of "not so traditional" pictures as well, which is what we wanted! We smiled and laughed the entire day. They really are the best!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lotus! I was very picky when it came to finding the right photographer but when I sat down with Justin at our first meeting, I knew we found the right company. For the day of our wedding, we had Justin as our photographer, Walter as our videographer and Tom as the assistant...all three of them were amazing!! As soon as they arrived at the hotel, they made me feel so at ease. I don't normally like being the center of attention but Justin and his team made it so much easier with their fun personalities. Although I have not seen my pictures, I have looked through countless albums on their Facebook and their work is incredible! The best part is they are totally affordable for such great quality. I can't thank them enough for helping make our wedding day so perfect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    My husband and I did a lot of research to find a photographer - we could not have been happier with our choice! Working with Lotus Photography was an absolute pleasure from the start! Justin was fun to work with and made my husband and I so comfortable - which is incredible because we don't like taking pictures and we always feel awkward being the center of attention. The photos were done quickly and orderly - very impressive considering how many people were in our wedding party and in our family. They do amazing work!!

    I wish I can give more stars! Justin, Amanda & Johan are AMAZING people. They kept me calm and made me laugh! If your looking for a wedding photographer look no further. I will recommend Lotus to everyone! We cannot thank them enough for making our day extra special and making us feel so comfortable. Justin remembered details of the things I liked and didn't like. Can't wait to see the final pictures! You guys are awesome, keep doing your thing! - Ashley & Anthony

    Lotus Wedding Photography is the best!! Justin and Amanda are amazing and so supportive. From the moment we booked them they were so helpful, and very flexible in creating the package that was right for us. We first did an engagement shoot in Central Park and they were so both so friendly and funny. They helped us loosen up and prepare for the big day and our pictures came out gorgeous!
    Once our wedding day arrived, everything was right on point and on time! They guided us through the beautiful chaos of the day:) Everything felt so natural and they listened to everything that we wanted. They were so gracious and in a way it almost felt as if they weren't there because THAT'S how good they are.
    Everyone that has seen our pictures and video from our wedding is completely stunned and say that they did a remarkable job! Everything was absolutely perfect and the Lotus team captured every beautiful and precious moment! It was such a pleasure working with them and we would recommend them to anyone.
    PS: we also picked up our wedding album this week and it's stunning with exceptional quality.
    Justin and Amanda thank you so much for everything!!!
