Long Island Wedding Photographer + Videographer
Your wedding isn't a production—and your photography shouldn't make it feel like one.
Raynor Studios is a Long Island wedding photography and filmmaking team blending documentary storytelling with an editorial, cinematic approach.
We capture the moments that happen naturally—the nerves before the ceremony, your parents watching from across the room, the chaos on the dance floor, the quiet five minutes you finally get alone—while stepping in with direction when it makes the photograph better.
The result is wedding photography that feels elevated without feeling staged, and wedding films that bring you back to what the day actually felt like.
Based on Long Island. Available throughout New York + beyond.
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY
We believe the best wedding photographs happen when you're actually experiencing your wedding—not performing for the camera.
That's why our approach begins with documentary storytelling. We pay attention to the moments unfolding naturally around you: the nerves before the ceremony, your best friend making you laugh when you need it most, your parents watching from across the room, the hugs, the tears, the packed dance floor, and all the little moments you may have missed completely.
But documentary doesn't mean we're leaving you on your own.
When it's time for portraits, we'll step in. We'll find the light, help with positioning, give you direction, and create the elevated, editorial photographs you fell in love with in our portfolio—without turning your wedding day into an hours-long photoshoot.
Then we step back and let you get back to your wedding.
Real moments when they happen. Direction when you need it. Photographs that feel like you.
WHO WE ARE
WELCOME TO RAYNOR STUDIOS
We are Nick & Karen, the husband and wife team behind Raynor Studios. We blend documentary storytelling with an editorial, cinematic approach to capture your day as it actually unfolds—the nervous anticipation, the people you love, the chaos, the quiet moments, and everything you didn't even realize was happening.
We'll step in when you need direction and disappear into the background when you don't. The result is wedding photography and film that feels elevated without feeling staged.
This is your wedding. We just make sure you never forget what it felt like.
BEDELL CELLARS
A North Fork favorite surrounded by vineyards, open skies, and incredible golden-hour light. Bedell Cellars is perfect for couples looking for a relaxed, elevated vineyard wedding with some seriously beautiful sunset portraits.
FOX HOLLOW
A classic Long Island wedding venue with elegant gardens, timeless architecture, and plenty of variety for portraits throughout the day. From getting ready through the reception, Fox Hollow gives us endless opportunities to create both candid moments and polished imagery.
EAST WIND
From lush outdoor spaces to elegant reception rooms, East Wind offers a beautiful mix of romantic and timeless backdrops. It's an especially versatile venue for creating everything from intimate documentary moments to cinematic wedding portraits.

ONE TEAM. ONE VISION. YOUR WHOLE STORY.
Your photographer and filmmaker shouldn't be competing for the same moment.
At Raynor Studios, photo and film work as one team from the very beginning. We plan together, communicate throughout the day, and approach your wedding with the same creative vision—so no one is fighting for angles, interrupting moments, or pulling you in different directions.
While photography preserves the moments you never want to forget, film brings back everything a photograph can't—the way your partner's voice sounded during your vows, the speeches that made the room lose it, the movement, the music, and the people you love all in one place.
