READYLUCK is a collective of NYC Wedding Photographers whose
passions lie in creative, articulate storytelling told through a diversity of talents.
To be in the right place at the right time involves preparation
and an acute awareness of light, form, and detail. It also requires an
agreement of chance, of unknown paths, crossing, a coming together.
Being invited into your life to document the immensity of this
miracle is a privilege that’s not lost on us.

More this way
Maybe it was through a friend? Or a wedding planner? Or maybe just Instagram. Either way we’re thrilled that you landed here and hope you like what you see! Drop a note through our contact form and we’ll get the conversation started. Tell us about your location, how your plans are shaping up, and maybe what photos really grab you. Many of our clients are super keen on art and design so feel free to nerd out on fashion, music, cinema, or anything else that might be inspiring your choices for the wedding. No detail is too small.
Let’s meet irl: coffee or cocktail? Our studio is in West Village but we’re happy to meet wherever makes the most sense for you and your demanding schedule. Zoom or FaceTime also works if we’re unable to connect in person. We’ll look at albums and full collections together so you can get a feel for our studio and visualize final image delivery.
So let’s make it official! If we’re available and you feel like we’re a good fit then we’ll seal the deal with a contract and 50% deposit. This holds the date and we won’t accept other booking requests. You’ll receive a password-protected account portal that contains all the important details for future reference. BOOM done.
Let’s talk about your vision for the event and the experience for your guests. Planning a wedding should feel like a custom art experience full of unique details that communicate your own personal style. As wedding photographers, our goal is to fine tune the photography to the scope of your event, taking into consideration all the special circumstances that are unique to you, your family, & guests.
We do our homework when shooting in new locations and we obsess over light: how the light fills a space or makes a particular pattern on a wall. We might ask you to sneak away for quick pics under a streaming slice of sunshine, but we’ll get you right back to the party before you miss your aunt’s infamous dance moves.
Sit back, relax, and we’ll guide you through portraits like a breeze. Our approach is friendly, chill, and we’ll have a mental map of the spaces where we’d like to create photos. Throughout most of the day our cameras will be pointed at the unscripted special moments happening all around you as they occur naturally – some that you’ll have no idea were happening until you see the collection!
We’ll send you a lil sneak peek within a week or two after the wedding, and the full collection is returned within 8-10 weeks. We process all our photos with a timeless sensibility for color and a keen eye for detail learned from years of developing film in an old-school darkroom: clean & classic image collections that won’t feel like bell bottoms ten years from now! The result is a discerning, multi-layered story of your day told through nuanced photojournalism, candid portraits, and editorial details.

Their images are full of emotion, beautiful composition, and one-of-a-kind artistry that set them above the rest. What makes them unique is that they are true artists and documentarians behind the lens.

Working with Readyluck was an easy, stress-free process from start to finish. The initial request and quote was fast and tailored perfectly for our needs. A lot of the wedding process was uncomfortable for me, but as soon as they arrived on the day of and we started shooting, I felt so much more relaxed and calm!

They did such a phenomenal job of capturing natural and authentic moments that fit perfectly with our wedding style. They were fun, professional and gave us great direction to help feel more natural in order to capture the best pictures. We couldn't be happier!!

Kate is fantastic and so talented -- we couldn't possibly recommend her more. She was an amazing wedding photographer and incredibly fun to work with; she is unbelievably patient and flexible, totally able to read the room and go with the flow. We are so grateful and our photos are wonderful!

On the wedding day, they captured so many beautiful moments for us. They executed on a rain plan and worked quickly to take the desired shots with a large bridal party. We are so happy with our collection of photos and look forward to designing our album to tell our story.

They were amazing! It always seemed like they were everywhere all the time. I just got back my wedding photos this past weekend and they were absolutely amazing. It's been a great way to relive the wonderful day!
— Casey + Alex
Readyluck was fantastic. Hands down the best wedding decision I made. Prior to the wedding, they presented us with creative ideas for rain plan photos and were very realistic and upfront about what was and was not doable. I highly recommend Readyluck.
— Meredith + Chris
These are AMAZING. It was so wonderful to see your email in my inbox, and even more wonderful to start going through these pictures - they ABSOLUTELY capture the emotions and the events of the day, so I feel like I'm reliving the wedding all over again. Your work is so stunning - thank you, thank you for capturing the day for us.
