About this vendor
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Carole Cohen Photography was started by a Parisian native who was drawn to New York. Owner and lead photographer Carole's story began in 2011 on New Year's Eve. From that day, she's continued to establish herself as one of New York's prominent photographers.
Carole Cohen Photography seeks to offer couples emotive and sentimental photos that encapsulate their special day. Moments that showcase passion, joy, and the beauty of relationships are translated into stunning photographs with Carole's lens. The result is a collection of images that present gorgeously, suited for framing and display.
In addition to traditional wedding photography in New York City, Carole Cohen Photography also has staff that captures elopement and destination ceremonies in Western Europe. Every process starts with a no-pressure meeting, often over a coffee or glass of wine. Virtual meet-ups can be accommodated, especially for those that are not in near proximity. From there you can choose to hire Carole Cohen Photography and enjoy the creative process that unfolds from thereon out.

We found Carole on Instagram, and after our first call, we knew she was the right fit for us. We clicked immediately, and she made the whole process feel easy from the start.

ughout planning, she helped us think through timelines, answered countless random questions, and was always willing to share advice—even when it had nothing to do with photography.
On the wedding day, she kept everything moving, wasn't afraid to take charge when family photos got chaotic, and was also totally down for whatever adventure we threw her way—whether that was riding the subway to our ceremony or stopping to take photos with the random cat we found on the street. Some of those photos ended up being our favorites.
What we love most about Carole's photography is how natural and intentional it feels. Looking through our gallery, we were amazed by all the little details she captured—the personal touches we spent months planning, the interactions we missed in the moment, and the small moments that made the day feel so special. The photos don't just document what happened; they genuinely capture the feeling of the day. Every image feels like a memory rather than a posed shot.
Hiring Carole was one of the best decisions we made, and we'd recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!
Carole is such a gem and a joy to work with. I loved her style and she came highly recommend to me by a wedding planner who works with her regularly. She made the whole process eas...
y and comfortable, especially for 2 people who are not naturally relaxed in front of a camera. Even with her INSANE schedule, she was always available to answer questions, and she got our preview and our photos to us in record time - I just still haven't gotten around to deciding which ones I want to print yet! She also helped my husband attach his boutonnière, which he was struggling with. I really can't recommend her enough. Her prices are absolutely reasonable for a NYC photographer and with the packages she offers, and she really works hard to make the process as easy on you as possible, while still creating beautiful pictures. If you hire her, you will not be disappointed.
Carole is simply the best!
Carole was absolutely phenomenal as our wedding photographer! She's immensely talented but she's also SO funny and helped us relax so much on our weddin...
g day. She was incredibly professional, kind, and patient as we dealt with wedding postponements, etcs. Beyond that, she just captured US so well - myself, my husband, our families and friends - Our wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous and fun - I get nonstop compliments on them. Thank you again SO much Carole!!
Carole was one of the first vendors I booked - I initially reached out because I was so in love with her photo style, and after talking with her for almost an hour on the phone I k...
new she was the perfect fit, no contest. Our wedding was in the mountains so I wanted someone who could really capture nature / the outdoors well and trusted she could do that. In a time where social media has made photographs a bit of a commodity, Carole really stands out as a photographer. She is a true artist! She is passionate, professional and her photos are so amazing and timeless looking, they belong in magazines. She is also cool, chic and funny which is worth mentioning since you’ll be spending a lot of time with her! Before the wedding she rolled with us when we had to move our wedding twice our to COVID. During COVID she actually offered us a FaceTime photoshoot since we never got around to taking engagement shots with her and it was such a blast and really fun to take photos with her, even ‘virtually’. By the time we actually had our wedding she was flying back and forth from France for a month to get to every single wedding she had committed to which is real devotion and truly above and beyond. Plus we were the third wedding she shot that weekend and it was a 6 hour roundtrip drive for her to get to the wedding and she still was high energy and had a great attitude. Throughout the day she and our second shooter Jonica* took photos very naturally and no photos felt forced or awkward. I have no regrets (obviously) about hiring her and am so glad we have her photos to remember our day for the rest of our lives. I don’t need to say much about the photos themselves because you can see for yourself how amazing they really are. Hire her!!!
*a shoutout for Jonica who also did an incredible job. We didn't meet her beforehand or communicate with her, but she was also a rockstar!
One of the first wedding vendors that I booked, after securing our venue, was Carole Cohen for photography. I knew, after perusing her IG, that her artistry in capturing these spec...
ial moments was what I wanted for my wedding. After our engagement shoot, I knew even further that we had made the right choice. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable, giving us the right amount of direction to get the shots, but not making it awkward or forced. She also has this magical skill of making us look like the only people in this city or incorporating people in the photo in such a way that feels authentic and purposeful. She is incredibly fun to work with, flexible, gets amazing shots, and I appreciated her honest, open line of communication during the challenging time of wedding planning during COVID. Her photos look like artwork and there’s something about them that gives it a raw and edgy look that I absolutely love. She accommodated our postponement with understanding and kindness and we got our previews shortly after our wedding, which makes me eager to see the rest!
I am so happy we chose to book Carole for our wedding day! Carole and her assistant were absolutely amazing and fun to work with. She took great photos and really captured the atmo...
sphere and vibe we had on our wedding day. I had ideas which she executed effortlessly and sent us our photos quickly. I had an issue downloading the photos initially, Carole sent them a different way for me to access as soon as I told her I was having an issue. I couldn't be more happier with the outcome and would definitely hire Carole again - and highly recommend her!
Carole is the best. She is a photographer, friend, and SO easy to get along with. She will ease whatever stresses you have before, during and after your wedding. She is super ta...
lented, extremely nimble, and basically incognito (when appropriate), and our photos turned out nothing short of AMAZING. I would give her 6 stars if I could. She was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process.
Carole is all kinds of awesome. One of the biggest points of contention between us in planning our wedding was whether or not to have a photographer. One of us is extremely camera ...
shy and the other one of us has a masters degree in photography (marriage is compromise, right? ;-)) We looked at dozens of photographers. As soon as we saw Carole’s work we both finally agreed. Carole is a fantastically talented photographer and a beautiful, creative, calm person to be around on your wedding day. We both really wanted a candid style photographer. Carole captured all the candid moments with elegantly crafted compositions and her unique energy. The venue was challenging to cover, and Carole managed to seamlessly shoot everything. She was incredibly flexible and went above and beyond. Our photos are just stunning and its been so fun for us to see not only the gorgeous shots of us and our venue and friends but all the little bits of the evening we missed. We are so grateful we found her!
The day of our wedding, Carole walked into the groom's hotel room, saw a good shot, did a ninja roll across the top of one of the beds in order to get across the room (packed with ...
groomsmen), and she took a gorgeous photo. This was her in a nut shell for the entirety of our wedding: She will do whatever she has to do, to be somewhere awesome, to take an amazing photo! To make things even better, we also had the pleasure of working with Emma, Carole's right-hand woman and co-photographer, who was equally as enthusiastic and awesome. When we started the search for a photo-journalistic photographer for our May 2016 wedding, we really felt deflated. Quality photos in the NYC area are super hard to come by without paying $1,000,000 + an arm and a leg. Even with our DIY, barn wedding budget, we were determined to find someone amazing as these photos would be looked over forever, so we kept on searching. And then we found Carole. Her enthusiasm for her craft and the quality of her product are beyond words. When looking over our countless pictures, we genuinely felt like we were transported back to our wedding. We were standing next to cousins and their kids, aunts who were laughing (and crying), children who were playing, relatives who were hugging, people who were screaming and laughing and dancing. While we did take traditional family and bridal party pictures in addition to the more candid and photo-journalistic photos, nothing Carole shot was too posed or dry, just full of life and happiness. As we planned our wedding, we made it a point to support and use local vendors who were committed to their work because of their love for their craft. Carole and Emma's work at our wedding proved just that: Quality service, quality photos and a love for what they do and the people they work with. We are forever grateful! Thank you Carole and Emma!

I am shocked that no one has written a review for Carole yet! She is a fantastic photographer and a joy to work with. Carole's easy-going attitude and flexible photo-journalistic s...
tyle made her a perfect match for our simple Quaker wedding followed by a fancy five-star luncheon. When a wedding disaster occurred and our wedding was delayed by an hour and a half, Carole helped us make the most of the time and also helped to calm our nerves. She took beautiful pictures that I know our family will treasure for years to come - and at a very affordable rate. For just under $3,000 she spent hours with us and gave us a gorgeous digital gallery. Even my father, who is a hobby photographer and very difficult to please, was impressed by her professionalism. If you are looking for a photographer in the NYC area she is worth considering!
