About
Vivian Lee
Hello, I’m Vivian Lee, a wedding photographer based in NYC.
I’ve always felt more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it. Understanding that being photographed can sometimes feel awkward or tiring is exactly where my work begins.
As I document one of the most meaningful chapters of your life, I focus on moments that unfold naturally—the quiet scenes and emotions that reveal themselves without effort.
On your wedding day, I stay close without intruding, observing the flow of the day as it happens. When it’s time for portraits, I step in with clarity and intention to guide you, ensuring you feel at ease and look like your truest self.
Let me tell you my story!
My journey started with my father’s old film camera. That early curiosity led me to study photography in college, and it has been my life’s work ever since.
I’ve always preferred capturing candid moments as they happen rather than creating staged scenes. Most of my life has been spent quietly watching the world through a lens, finding beauty in the natural flow of things.
Being able to photograph couples in a city as iconic as New York has only deepened my love for what I do. To me, experiencing your journey and turning it into images feels like helping a storybook come to life.
I’d love to hear your story, your plans, and the vision you have for your day.
I’m always here to listen! <3
Timeless Style
I believe the best photos aren’t the ones where you look perfect, but the ones where you look like yourself. My approach is rooted in an editorial perspective—focusing on clean compositions, natural light, and the genuine connection between people. I aim to create imagery that doesn't just look like a memory, but feels like one, staying away from passing trends to ensure your photos remain as elegant in twenty years as they are today.
A Decade of Experience
With over ten years behind the lens, I’ve learned that great photography requires more than just a camera; it requires a sense of calm and a sharp eye for detail. Whether I’m navigating the energy of a Manhattan wedding or discreetly capturing a surprise proposal, my experience allows me to anticipate moments before they happen. I’m here to handle the logistics and the lighting, so you can simply stay present and enjoy the journey.
