I have been photographing weddings for over 19 years. I work with couples who are interested in a documentary approach and a non-intrusive presence at their event. In documenting weddings, I utilize my skills honed as a photojournalist and street photographer over many years as well as those as a photo editor at top publications such as The New York Times and The Chicago Tribune.

My standard full day package includes 8 hours of photography with one photographer. You receive a DVD with Digital Negatives of all images and also a DVD of the "Top Selects" edited and toned by me in the form of high resolution ready-to-print JPEG files. Also, a set of proof prints of the "Top Selects" are included. In addition, the "Top Selects" will be uploaded to a password protected online gallery for print ordering and easy sharing. Finally, you will receive an "Animoto" video featuring an edit of my favorite images from the wedding that can be shared with friends and family and posted to social media sites.

Rates vary based on your needs and are negotiable. I do also have a short day package available. Packages can be customized for multiple day shoots, extra long days, engagement portraits, travel outside the New York region and for destination weddings. There is also the possibility of a second photographer. Album options include Queensberry, Leather Craftsmen, IrisBook and Asuka.

Please call (917-673-3980) or email (jonathan.elderfield@gmail.com) to learn about my pricing for wedding photography or to learn about my documentary approach to photographing children and families. I'd be happy to meet with you or to send a portfolio. Best Wishes!
