About this vendor
I'm Serge from Sergey Lapkovsky Photography, a New York wedding photographer. My style is a timeless and elegant blend of documentary and portrait photography. Your wedding images will be a perfect combination of candid moments, beautiful portraits, and gorgeous details that you have worked on so hard!
Most of my clients have never been photographed before, so I'll help and guide you through the entire process of taking photos.
🔸 I pay a lot of attention not only to amazing lighting and composition but also to make sure that you LOVE yourself in your pictures. No awkward faces or odd hand gestures, just beautiful and natural moments!
🔸 I aim to feel like a good friend with a camera who keeps things easygoing, stress-free, and, most importantly, fun. All of the smiles in my photos are the best example of how my shooting process works.
🔸 These are photos you will be looking back on for 10, 20, 30 years to come and I want them to be TIMELESS!
If this is how you imagine your photography experience to be, I'm sure we will be a great fit.

fantastic our experience was with Sergey. He is extremely detail oriented, personable, patient and truly passionate about what he does. He has a calming presence and made us feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. The photos are more than anything we could have dreamed of and exude all the love and joy we felt on our wedding day. If you’re looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!!
I don’t even know where to begin. Serge was such an asset both on our wedding day and as we planned final details. He is a total professional and so knowledgeable. He helped us set...
up an entire “day of” plan and came with basically a plug and play of our “day of” shot list. We’re definitely more disorganized people and Serge could not have made planning photos for the day any easier. He was also just such a pleasure to be with on the day. It was stressful or exhausting at certain points (especially leading up to the ceremony!) and Serge was a rock! So so many of my family and friends told me throughout the day how wonderful Serge was. We were really hellbent on having photography that was unobtrusive (we’ve been to weddings with whirring drones over the ceremony and it totally took the magic out of it!). Serge got AMAZING shots while blending right into the background. He’s a magician! This is such a ramble, and I’m sure I missed some of the ways he was so great. But TL;DR…Serge is amazing and you won’t regret hiring him!!
Serge was absolutely a pleasure! Our wedding photos could not have been any prettier. Highly recommend!

pecially great catches of cool moments from our wedding and all photos are beautiful.
Our guests are happy with the photos as well, everybody got great pictures of themselves :).
Great scenes and attention to details on all photos.
And we would mention additionally very good postprocessing of the photos - all photos are (naturally) colorful, light, faces look natural, people skin looks natural and has natural color.
The number of photos impresses as well.
Sergey is a great photographer with a very professional attitude! We were very happy with our beautiful photos and how fast we got them!

at we are so beautiful! :)
We met with some other photographers, but none of them came close in what they offered in terms of skill, enthusiasm or anything else. Sergey’s knowledge and experience was extremely helpful since we didn’t have a lot of experience in photo shoot. Sergey is very nice in communication and always ready to explain all details.
Sergey, we are incredibly lucky to meet you! No doubt, you are a man of your profession. You do your job and you do it with great love.
I distinctly remember the moment when we rec...

We are glad that you were with us. You gave us the opportunity to save all the moments of this day, the day which became the beginning of our family!
Sergey, thank you! It's not just photos, it's something more for us ...
We wish you success and good people!

nt to spend our special day with nice people. Sergey was very professional, calm and of course very nice) We did all the photos without rush, with not much posing, the whole process was very pleasant and natural, so that we could enjoy every moment of our wedding day. And of course, the results of Sergey’s job is even better that we even dreaming of. Each photo is full of love. Sergey caches tiny moments that are so precious that it is impossible to look at these photos without tears. We have made the right choice, and we will definitely do it one more time, for our next important day.
We thought that we are not photogenic people at all so we didn't like taking photos except for some selfies, that's why we thought that it would be a real challenge for us. But tha...

y easy to interact and work with you. Our cheeks hurt from smiling and laughing all day long after the wedding!
What can be better that an elegantly dressed photographer who does his best, who calms you when you are nervous and hurries you when you are too slow? And the most important thing is that he feels the people whom he is shooting.
Sergey, you are amazing! We are really glad that we chose you as our wedding photographer! We fully loved to work with you and now we are enjoying watching our pictures! Our photo ...
