Gelfman Photography

Gelfman Photography is the husband-and-wife team of Matt and Lesley, two photographers who fell in love with their craft long before they fell in love with each other. Together, they’ve built a boutique Long Island wedding photography studio around their shared passion for creating beautiful imagery and connecting with the people they photograph. Their approach is candid, creative, and a little editorial, but always relaxed and personal. More than anything, they want their couples to have an incredible time celebrating their wedding, with photographs that capture every bit of what made it special.

In their words

A short interview

What draws you to weddings?

Photography was something we each fell in love with long before we ever met, so getting to share that passion and build a business around it together is something genuinely special to us. Weddings bring together everything we both love about photography: real human connection, beautiful imagery, spontaneous moments, and the opportunity to create something meaningful. Even after all these years, we still love experiencing each wedding together and finding new ways to capture what makes every couple and their celebration unique.

How do you want couples to feel when they experience your work?

We want couples to see themselves in our work, not just a collection of beautiful photographs, but real personalities, genuine connections, and all the little moments that make a wedding uniquely theirs. Our photographs should feel as alive as the day itself, balancing the beautifully composed with the wonderfully unscripted. Years later, we want couples to remember not just how everything looked, but exactly how it felt to be there.

What are your favorite moments on a wedding day?

We absolutely love turning fun, carefree, and completely spontaneous moments into photographs that feel like they belong in an editorial spread. There's something especially rewarding about creating beautiful, thoughtfully composed imagery without sacrificing the genuine energy of the moment. But our favorite part of any wedding is watching our couples truly let loose, enjoy themselves, and celebrate with the people they love, knowing we played a part in making that experience possible.
