Serendipity worked out pretty well for us. When we met, we were each experienced NYC-based wedding photographers. We loved our jobs and soon realized we loved them even more whenever we worked together. So we joined forces in history’s least-hostile business takeover.

Ryan comes from a photojournalistic background, having covered each U.S. president since Clinton. During his coverage, he has been blessed by the Pope, stared down by Muhammad Ali, manically glared at by Stephen Colbert, and had his photos of Smokey Robinson featured the in Kennedy Center lifetime tribute ceremony. He teaches wedding photography in lectures and workshops around the globe, with a specialty in “what to do when everything goes wrong.” He is ranked as one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World by the two top industry magazines, American Photo and Rangefinder. 

Tatiana has worked in essentially every aspect of the photography field, from editorial portraiture to corporate product campaigns, but found her love in weddings more than a decade ago. She has an extremely long list of overjoyed clients, with a lifetime perfect 5.0 customer service score, and a tradition of amazing photojournalism and innovative, playful portraits.

Together, we are the only independent photographers to document the U.S. presidential candidates the last time they meet before the election, and we have photographed weddings around the world, including Chile, Vietnam, Croatia, Morocco, Singapore, Hong Kong, Ireland, the Bahamas, and many more, as well as across the U.S. and practically every street corner in New York.

Ryan is a graduate of Fordham University, loves jump-roping and dad jokes. Tatiana is a graduate of New York University, a master organizer, and has unlimited energy which has been passed down to their son.

Pricing, simplified.

We know that planning a wedding can be stressful — we’ve been there; we planned three separate weddings to each other.

We want to make the process as simple and stress-free as possible, not just in how we handle the wedding day but in every part of our business. Our packages are extremely simple, doing away with any of the hidden costs that can add up as you plan your wedding.

1) The Brenizers: Every photo that you receive will be edited for beautiful reproduction on screen or in print — twice, in fact, as each photo is delivered in color and in black and white. This will come first as a preview delivered soon after the wedding and then a full set generally in the range of 75 to 100 photos per hour, in an easy-to-use private online gallery.

These photos are yours. We want you to integrate them into your life however is best for you for the rest of your life. We also make amazing albums and carefully guide our clients through the process, but no one is obliged to spend a single dollar more. (But warning: you might find yourself wanting to anyway; our albums are pretty great.)

Along the way, we will give you all of the guidance you need to make getting married and being photographed as fun as stress-free as possible. Think of us as your friends who have literally done this 1000 times before; we want to help.

This package is 8 hours for $5000, 9 hours for $5600, 10 hours for $6200 and 11+ (full day) for $6800.

2) A Brenizer. The exact same thing, except you select one of us. There are no other concessions; both of us will help you through the entire planning process. This package is 8 hours for $3750, 9 hours for $4200, 10 hours for $4650 and 11+ (full day) for $5000.

One of our unique advantages is near-equal experience — we both started shooting weddings in 2006, and both had 10 years of experience and hundreds of happy clients running separate studios before merging. So either of us can run the show at any time, whether there is just one of us or whether we are in separate places, such as when each side is getting ready for the wedding far apart from each other.

Videos

We have been involved with various video productions over the years that illustrate more about who we are and how we work. Tatiana prefers to be mostly behind the camera so most of these are about Ryan, who is an active part of photographer education.
