At Hariel Xavier Photography, my passion lies in creating stunning and timeless images that tell the story of your love.

I understand that your wedding day is a reflection of your unique relationship, and I strive to capture the genuine emotions, joyful celebrations, and intimate moments that make your day truly special.

The Story Behind Hariel Xavier Photography
Originally from Brooklyn, NY, my journey into photography began amidst the energy and diversity of the city that never sleeps. Growing up in such a vibrant place, I learned early on how to find beauty in the small, authentic moments that often go unnoticed in the hustle of daily life. Those roots have shaped the way I approach wedding photography, where every glance, every laugh, every tear tells a story waiting to be captured.
After moving to New Jersey, I built my photography business in Bergen County, inspired by the contrast of urban and suburban life. Now based in the picturesque Sussex County, I get to merge my love for city vibes with the charm of rustic landscapes, giving my clients the best of both worlds. Whether it’s an elegant NYC rooftop wedding, a cozy backyard celebration, or a sprawling countryside affair, I bring the same passion and attention to detail to each event.
Over the past 11 years, I’ve had the privilege of photographing 300+ weddings, not just in New York and New Jersey, but all over the country—and even at stunning destination weddings around the world. No matter where your love story takes you, I’m committed to capturing it with the same heart and dedication that I put into every wedding.
What sets me apart? It’s my deep understanding of the emotions that make your day so special. My goal is to deliver more than just photos—I aim to create timeless memories that you’ll relive every time you look at them. From the moment you walk down the aisle to those quiet, intimate seconds when it’s just the two of you, I’ll be there, making sure every part of your story is told beautifully.
Let’s work together to make your wedding day unforgettable. With my experience in wedding photography across NYC, New Jersey, and beyond, I’ll ensure your special day is captured in a way that truly reflects the love and excitement you feel.
