Julian Ribinik Studios is an award-winning NYC wedding photographer known for a dark, moody, and editorial approach to documentary wedding photography. Based in Manhattan and led by husband-and-wife team Julian and Evgenia Ribinik, we bring nearly two decades of experience to every wedding.

NYC WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

Editorial. Unscripted. Unforgettable.

Our approach fuses the energy of photojournalism with the refinement of fine art. The result is wedding photography that feels both spontaneous and polished — images with cinematic depth, rich tonal contrast, and an emotional core that holds up years after your wedding day. Julian spent years shooting street photography across New York before transitioning into weddings, and that instinct — knowing where to be, when to press the shutter, and how to disappear into a room — is the foundation of everything we deliver.

What Sets Our Wedding Photography Apart

Over 15+ years of shooting weddings in New York City, we've built deep experience at the venues that define luxury celebrations. That familiarity means we know the light, the timing, the best angles, and the hidden corners that most photographers miss. Our venue experience includes Cipriani Wall Street, Cipriani 25 Broadway, Casa Cipriani, 620 Loft and Garden, Lotte New York Palace, The St. Regis, Capitale, and Guastavino's.

Trusted at New York's Most Celebrated Venues

New York is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world, and that diversity is reflected in the weddings we photograph. We have photographed Jewish weddings, Indian weddings, Chinese tea ceremonies, Korean paebaek rituals, Persian weddings, Nigerian celebrations, and countless fusion ceremonies. Our photojournalistic approach is especially well-suited to multicultural weddings, where the most powerful moments often happen spontaneously between formal rituals.

Intercultural Wedding Photography

Every engagement begins with a conversation. We coordinate with your planner and vendors to ensure seamless coverage. On the day itself, Julian leads the photography while Evgenia brings her eye for editorial detail. Our editing style is consistent and refined: rich tones, deep contrast, and a moody warmth. You'll receive 500-800+ images within 6-8 weeks. We also offer cinematic wedding videography.

Throughout the entire process Julian was responsive, professional and committed to us as his clients. We felt completely comfortable and able to talk to Julian about any request or update we had.

Yes. We regularly travel for weddings in Miami, Palm Beach, Charleston, and international destinations.
