Ira, I do not have the words to express our awe and appreciation of you and the way you were part of our family on the day of our wedding. I'll never forget the day you taught my mom about a Bedeken and Tish, the way you brought so much needed joy and levity on our engagement shoot - and really, the entire wedding would not have been possible without you helping us all feel safe and okay being photographed. The Milsteins feel a certain level of assuredness, comfort, and ease with you at the helm. Ira, I know you have shot a loooooot of weddings in your day, but you found a way to make us feel like the most important, special couple to you. You were really part of our union that day and I can't thank you enough for going above and beyond. The photography here is nothing of a micro, covid pandemic wedding. This event is anything but. You created art, brought out the love and energy and really underscore all the happy and powerful emotional currents that ran through the day. THANK YOU SO MUCH. WE ARE SO GRATEFUL AND APPRECIATIVE. These memories will be passed down to future generations and you are the people behind capturing that legacy and we'll never forget it. Lots of love, Toby

Ira- I mean, where do I begin?! The pictures are INSANE! We are giddy every time we look at them. I don't know how we'll choose. Thank you, thank you to you and your team. It was such a pleasure to work with you. Thank you for making our day so magical and for capturing that magic in the photos. Love, Carolyn (+ Zach)

All I can say is wow. WHAT AN UNREAL JOB! This gave me chills up and down my spine. Literally. Ridiculous. Oscar worthy. All of our friends and our families are dying over it!!

I don’t gush over things very often, but your work is truly incredible so I can’t help myself. The emotions, energy and personalities are jumping off the screen at me - you really captured the essence of the day and the people, and it is bringing me all the joy reliving the weekend through your images. It was such a pleasure to get to know you and spend time with you at the wedding, and Porter and I (not to mention all of our friends) loved having you there, both professionally and personally.

I would have to say that my wedding day's hysteria unrivaled anything I've ever done. From the onset, Adrian and his staff were able to assert themselves and capture every poignant scene without being seen. They are akin to video ninjas. Add in the fact that his work is so unique and inspiring - he captured the sheer happiness and euphoria of that day, and made it truly unique to who Rachel and I are. A true testament to his incredible talents, Adrian is absolute joy in every sense of the word. - Ilan

I could not give any higher praise to Nathan as the photographer for our wedding. I didn't quite realize it until the day of the wedding, but the photographer basically runs the day. Nathan's ability to organize and get everyone in the right place at the right time is tremendous. His calm and professional demeanor was an absolute pleasure. Not only did he make our special day even better than I thought (and he really did make the day better), the actual photos are tremendous. He captured the moment perfectly and we could not be happier with the final outcome.

Nathan photographed both my wedding and my sister's. He is truly amazing, he makes everyone feel very comfortable and keeps it super easy while also capturing amazing moments. He has become an honorary member of the family after 2 weddings in one year! At 2 am the night of my wedding, without having seen his images, my sister emailed her wedding planner to book Nathan immediately because he was so incredible! Both me and my sister could not be happier with the photos from our wedding. Nathan knew exactly the type of photos that we would both want for the rest of our lives.

Working with Nathan was a ton of fun! We felt at ease with him from the day we met him, during our engagement shoot, and of course on our big day. His work is incredible and we couldn’t be happier with the end results. The images he captured are filled with such character, love, and happiness - so beautiful!

Aside from my beautiful bride, Nathan was the star of the wedding. He made every aspect of the process extremely enjoyable and fun! His energy and personality made taking pictures seamless and he has an uncanny ability to capture every incredible moment without you even realizing he is there at times. We have recommended him to many of our friends and genuinely get excited every time we go to another wedding that Nathan is working. Not to mention, he's a pretty good basketball player. - Eytan

There are so many wonderful things we could say about Lauren. Perhaps more than anything, she brought warm and joyful energy that put everyone at ease, which shone through in our engagement and wedding photographs.
Photographed by The Day
When we look at all the perfect moments Lauren captured on camera, we're also reminded of the effortless joy she brought to her craft. Her shots of our love and laughter or her pictures of the small and yet profound moments we so cherish are captured forever thanks to Lauren's artistic skill and her professional grace. Lauren will always be our go to photographer.
Photographed by The Day
Beginning with our first phone conversation from my home in Dallas, I felt a connection with Lauren that gave me confidence we were in trustworthy hands, even as we faced the daunting task of planning a New York City wedding across many miles, with the bride- and groom-to-be living in Hong Kong. That connection was confirmed on the wedding day, as Lauren, with a skillful, calming presence, captured the story of Colleen and Steve’s beautiful celebration of love for each other, surrounded by family and friends. - Mary Leahy

Joanna was an absolute pleasure to work with! She has a sense of ease and calmness that made everything so easy and enjoyable – exactly what you want on your special day! Not to mention she went above and beyond for us, capturing moments into the late night that we will treasure forever. To this day, she is still someone we stay in-touch with and always will – we adore her.
Photographed by The Day
From the second we spent our Friday evening with Joanna at the studio, we knew we wanted her to photograph the most important day of our lives. Not only is she able to capture such love and emotion in every picture that she takes, but its her kind and calm demeanor that made our special day so seamless and easy. Weddings are such an intimate experience, that to be able to find a photographer who you feel totally comfortable with, as if you have known them your entire life, is incredibly important and that's how we felt with Joanna.
Photographed by The Day
Joanna's photos captured the essence of the actual moment. We were able to recall our exact emotions when viewing them. We scheduled an engagement shoot where she was with just the two of us and we could get to know her style of working. She was so relaxing and made us feel so comfortable taking pictures in the middle of Manhattan! It was great to have that time with just her prior to our wedding because we were already acquainted and felt at ease during the big day when everything was moving at lightening speed. We can't rave about Joanna enough! She was professional, calming and most of all talented!
Photographed by The Day
We were so excited as soon as we knew Joanna would be our photographer and couldn't be happier with all the photos that documented the weekend – our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. When we look through our photos, we are able to relive so many emotions from the day – our first look, ceremony photos and laugh while going through the speeches and everyone dancing. Each photo captured everything so beautifully and are moments frozen in time for us to have forever. We can’t thank Joanna enough for the amazing photos and her wonderful team who were so sweet, fun, and made everyone feel at ease the entire day!

Joanna was an absolute pleasure to work with, and we are thrilled with our wedding photos! She really captured the joyful spirit of the day and was somehow able to be everywhere without ever seeming invasive. Our proofs captured everything we were hoping for and more, and we couldn't recommend Joanna and the entire Ira Lippke Studios team more highly.

Ira captured the spirit of our wedding weekend perfectly. When we look back at our wedding photos, we truly feel like we can relive each moment. Ira was such a pleasure to have around, and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Ira has a calming, professional and cool way about him, and he lived up to his promise of delivering epic wedding pictures that we will cherish forever.

From our engagement shoot to the actual day of the wedding Ira and his amazingly talented team created creative, interesting, one-of a kind shots with the classics mixed in. My photos are not forced or staged, but capture the true emotions and playfulness of our wedding day and time in our lives. Ira and the team have a way about making you feel like family from the start and the work is a result of that warmth. Hands down one of the easiest and best decisions was choosing to work with all of you at Ira Lippke Studios.

Adrian is a master of his craft. His skills behind the camera and ultimately editing the preview and final cut videos are truly first rate. He has given us the ability to rewatch our wedding so enthusiastically and truly feel like we are still there. I can honestly say, 2 years later, we still watch our wedding video at least once a month. He was a true pleasure to work with. We trusted his taste and expertise in choosing everything for our video, and we could not be happier! - Kerri

Ira was not just a photographer for our wedding, he became a friend. We really felt that his heartfelt investment in our day was palpable from the beginning. It was important for us to work with a photographer we liked personally, since we knew they would be there for some of the most intimate moments that day. Ira made the entire experience not only comfortable, but truly enjoyable. Ira was able to capture the most nuanced moments of our day. Ira's talent is undeniable, but it's the heart that he puts into his work that separates him from the rest.

You and your team did a magnificent job of capturing many of the most memorable moments. It's so moving to see it all again. It's whetting our appetites for all of the others that will come. The delicacy and sensitivity of so many of your shots and the manner in which you framed the photos has all of the artistry of a painting. We are incredibly indebted to you for being here to share this important occasion with us. …Your work is sheer perfection! - Joanne

Adrian just gets it. His talent is simply mind-blowing. Somehow, he captured the sweet, authenticity of us as a couple amidst 350+ psychotic adults jumping and thumping all around us. The cherry on top is that he is the easiest person in the world to get along with. I cannot say enough about my new mustache wearing best friend! – Rachel

Working with Ira was everything that we ever dreamed of for someone capturing our love story. He is a true artist and an amazing photographer. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Ira made us feel so relaxed knowing that he was truly capturing the perfect moments from our special day. We cannot thank him enough for the amazing photos that we can share with our family and friends and cherish for the rest of our lives.

Working with Adrian and his team was an absolute dream! I was nervous about having a videographer because they seemed obtrusive at most wedding I've been to. Not only did they not disturb the flow of the party, but they added to it. Adrian's enthusiasm and candor added so much to our special day. The finished product is beyond our wildest dreams - friends and family claim to have watched it several times. Clearly, we can't say enough good things! Thank you for everything!

Adrian Toto took the rawest, most beautiful moments from our wedding and created deep and impassioned art with them. It was more than a trailer or a short film of our wedding – it was a love story, a New York City social affair, our moment together that somehow we felt alone in, despite being surrounded by 450 people. The moments that had passed us by, Adrian caught so artistically, so honestly and made every hair on your body rise while watching his film. Adrian Toto captures magical moments and finely curates them into the whimsical, organic and fiery memories you had in your heart.
