About

Hi, I'm Hanel, a wedding photographer & filmmaker based in NY. My philosophy for photographing weddings is based on my belief that the most important part of my job is to tell your story. Everything else is secondary. My mission is to deliver photos and films that'll let you relieve the moments you'll remember and show you all of the moments you won't be able to be a part of due to the busy schedule of the day.

Experience
With hundreds of weddings under our belts, my team and I have been a part of weddings of all colors, sizes, and locations. My destination weddings have taken us to some incredible locations, including Hawaii, Korea, and Aruba.

  • Wedding day photography & films

Stunning work!

Hanel and his team are true professionals! The eye him and his team have for catching the beauty in every moment is outstanding. We are in awe with the work they provide. Not only is the output artistic and amazing, their kindness and patience is incredible. Day of my wedding, I was stressed out - until Hanel walked in. I knew we were in good hands because he is a great director for where to go and what to do. I found Hanel because my brother used him for his wedding, a cousin used him, and of course I had to too. Word of mouth - but I hope to spread the word to others as well. Very deserving for the best recognition possible!!

Best Photographer Award Goes To…Hanel!

Hanel and his team (Mike, Levy) are truly experts in their field, and I am beyond grateful for their efforts during our wedding day. Hanel really took the time to understand what is important to my husband and I, and helped navigate all of our requests within our jam packed schedule. From the beginning of the day to the very end, Hanel and team were always nearby and full of energy, capturing all the big and little moments of us and our guests. I felt like a celebrity/model for the day, with the ease of a seasoned coach to guide me through poses. From detail shots to our first look, portraits to group shots, dancing, cake cutting, catching up with guests, and everything in between - Hanel and team were there and ready (with superb lighting I may add). If I could do it all again, I would add additional hours because I felt so sad when our 10 hrs together were up, and had to say goodbye. I highly recommend Hanel’s services, you will not regret it.
