Judson Rappaport Photography

Judson Rappaport is a New York City wedding photographer working in a documentary style, shooting on digital, film or a mix of both. Her work has an artistic edge, and she covers weddings and events across New York, the wider Northeast and further afield.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

Judson is a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and her wedding work began with documenting queer weddings through a photojournalist lens. That background still shapes how she shoots. She looks for honest moments between you, not stiff poses, and couples say she puts even camera-shy people at ease. If you want photographs of your wedding that read as true to who you are, she is a natural choice.

What she offers

• Documentary wedding photography in digital, film or hybrid formats
• Engagement shoots
• Assistant photographers for larger weddings
• Coverage that can run right through to the after-party
• Sneak-peek images soon after the wedding
• An online gallery, prints and wedding albums

How she works

Judson keeps the pace unrushed. She is intentional about where she stands and what she frames, while staying alert to the spontaneous moments that make a day feel like yours. Her film work in particular has a painterly feel that many couples treat as art in its own right. She suits values-driven couples who care more about the feeling of their wedding than a long list of formal group shots.

Where she covers

Judson is based in New York City and regularly photographs weddings in the Hudson Valley, the Catskills, the Hamptons, New England and Washington DC. She also travels to Mexico for destination weddings.
