Wedding Commissions
I accept only a very limited number of weddings each year, choosing celebrations that inspire me visually and emotionally.
Emin Kuliyev is a documentary wedding photographer based in New York City, specializing in real moments and authentic celebrations.
Over the years my work has grown well beyond wedding photography — including street photography, optical experiments, personal projects and teaching.
Because of that, I now accept only a very limited number of wedding and engagement commissions each year.
When I photograph a wedding, I look for celebrations with atmosphere, character and real human moments — places and people that inspire me to tell the story in an honest, documentary way.
If you feel a strong connection with my work, tell me about your plans — the place, the people and what makes your celebration unique.
Occasionally I create a short cinematic film alongside the photographs.
Every film you see on this website was filmed by me personally.
These films are not traditional wedding videos, but short visual stories that bring the photographs to life.
Because of the way they are created, they are available only as a special add-on
Investment
Investment Wedding commissions typically begin around $5,000, depending on the project, location and scale of the celebration.
Engagement sessions and smaller commissions typically begin around $2,000, depending on the concept and time involved.
Tell me a little about your plans:
1) Wedding date
2) Wedding venue or location
3) How did you hear about my work? (Google, Instagram, referral, etc.)
4) Tell me about your wedding (What’s important for you? What kind of photography do you love?)
Please note: The most helpful messages usually include a few details about the day.Messages that only ask about availability or hourly rates usually don’t give enough context for a meaningful response.
If my work resonates with you, I would be happy to hear about your plans —
the place, the people and what makes your celebration unique.
The most helpful inquiries usually include your wedding location,
a few words about the atmosphere of the day,
and what in my work resonated with you.
