Welcome to the website of Lindsay Taryn Photography! Below, you will find recent blog posts about everything photo-related in both my business and my life. I am available for wedding, event, and portrait photography in NYC and beyond, so take a look at my portfolio and blog, learn a bit about me and my work, and don't hesitate to contact me! :) Today I photographed Rute & Peter’s intimate wedding at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC. It was nothing short of gorgeous, and I can’t wait to share the photos I took! For now, here are two shots to hold you over: the second one was taken with my new tilt shift lens! :)
It’s been awhile since I posted photos from my explorations. I’ve been so busy this summer with weddings and shoots that I haven’t had enough time to wander around the city much. But that’s about to change because next week I’m heading to Europe!
I will be out of the country from September 10-28, traveling through Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, and Belgium. I’m sure that I will have sporadic connection to the internet, so please be patient if I don’t respond to your emails right away! I’ll also try to post some photos along the way so you can see what I’m up to overseas :)
In the meantime, I’m excited to announce that there’s a new addition to my lens lineup: the Canon 45mm f.2.8 tilt shift! For the non-camera geeks, the best way I can explain it is that it’ll allow me to provide more creative images for my clients. I’m gonna give it a test run on my trip and hopefully end up with some creative travel shots!
Here’s a photo I took with the tilt shift lens of the Manhattan Appellate Courthouse on 25th street (by Flatiron). Notice how the head of the statue is in focus, while the rest of it (and most of the courthouse itself) is blurred – this isn’t possible with a normal lens!
I spent a warm summer evening last week wandering around one of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods (and my backyard), Williamsburg. This isn’t anything out of the ordinary, as I’ve done this more times than I can count. But this time, I was with Giselle-Erica, a fellow Brooklynite. Her senior portrait session found us embracing the grit and color of the streets, as well as the waterfront. Take a look at some of her shots!:
And if you’d like to book a New York senior portrait session, you can read more about it and contact me for more information! :)
Tiffany and NiiOkai celebrated their wedding day across two NYC boroughs. It began at the LaGuardia Courtyard Marriott Hotel in Queens, where Tiffany and her bridal party got ready. The ceremony was held at a church in Brooklyn, and was followed with some portraits at the Brooklyn Children’s Museum. I’ve been to a good number of museums in NYC, but somehow I’d never even heard of this one. Turns out it’s a fantastic spot for a photoshoot! I only wish we’d had more time to roam around the museum.
Afterwards I headed back to Queens with the wedding party on a party bus, which ended up breaking down on the highway back – whoops! Thankfully a replacement bus was sent right away to pick us all up, so we didn’t miss much of the reception. Talk about luck!
Congrats to Tiffany and NiiOkai!

Shagun and Gaurav have the sort of love story that could be made into a movie. They met on a train in India when they were teenagers, kept in touch all this time and remained friends. Shagun moved to the US after finishing school, Gaurav followed suit a few years ago, and they began dating last November. Without the barrier of distance, these two finally got to be together, and within a month they were engaged. They’re getting married later this year in India, but I had the privilege of doing their engagement shoot here in NYC :) Aren’t they gorgeous?
