NYC Event Photographer

Ayano's ability to capture the energy and essence of an event is remarkable. I worked with her on two events at the New York Philharmonic, one offsite and one at David Geffen Hall. She went above and beyond to take photos of everything — the audience, the musicians, the food and drink, and the smallest details that made these events special. She even climbed the scaffolding in the offsite venue to get the perfect shot of the aerial artists. She was great at asking questions, responding to our needs and turning around the first batch of photos overnight. Ayano is a joy to work with and I would strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a skilled event photographer.

Highly Recommended! Ayano was so professional throughout the preparation and the day of the wedding. She met up with me way before the wedding day to walk me through the details. Thanks to her beautiful work, we were able to capture so many great memories. Thank you for making our wedding day so special and memorable.

We needed a photographer at the last minute for a holiday photo. We have used different photographers for each of the past 5 years. Ayano was the best by far. Usually we only have one or two decent photos to chose from, but Ayano did such a great job that we had lots of great photos of our family. Equally important, she turned the photos around in just one day - amazing. We recommend her without reservation.

Ayano is one of the best photographer in NYC. She took my website photos. It came out sooo nice!! She is professional. Highly recommended!!

Ayano is an extremely talented photographer and we were very fortunate to cross paths! She not only took beautiful and memorable pictures of our wedding day and the brunch the day after but also made helpful and creative suggestions to us, that we are so glad we followed. She managed to take numerous pictures without hardly being noticed, and worked so cooperatively with our videographer and hair and makeup stylist. She is patient, she listens, and she works a professional and calm demeanor. It was a pleasure working with her and my husband and I highly recommend her for any event!

She took my maternity and my family photos. Every single photos that she took were awesome. Also she is really nice person. I highly recommend her.

I've worked with Ayano in a professional capacity for years. When I needed a photographer for a personal project, she was the first person I called. Whether capturing photos for editorial use or for a 'life event,' Ayano demonstrates the same high level of professionalsim and creativity in her work. Most importantly, she always delivers gorgeous photos.

I've been fortunate enough to work with this marvelous photographer and have used her pictures in brochures and on websites. She is terrific in everyday, personally wonderful to work with but she also has a killing eye.

Ayano did an amazing job at my wedding at the Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn. She came highly recommended from a good friend and the high praise is well deserved. Her photos are breathtaking and she captured every moment perfectly! I still can't believe she got so many different perspectives when it was just her! My husband and I couldn't be happier - she has a great eye! She was also a pleasure to work with - thank you Ayano!!!!

I love her pictures. I feel as if I can hear my daughter's laughter from my daughter's pictures which she took.

She has warm and nice. Her photo reflects her personality.

Great experience! Ayano is both incredibly talented and easy to work with. We had engagement photos done and her work speaks for itself!!!

Ms. Hisa is an great photographer that does fantastic work. She has an amazing work ethic and I’ve been a fan of her work for a long time. I would recommend her to anyone in need of professionally done photography.

Ayano took some engagement photos for us, both portrait and candid shots. She was very accommodating about scheduling, quick to respond to emails, and got the photos to us immediately after the shoot. We had a fun time having our pictures taken, and best of all, we received several very beautiful photographs. I am shy about posing for photos, but Ayano really put me at ease and the photos look very natural. Couldn't recommend her more!

Ayano takes the most amazing photographs! I was so happy with the results of her stunning work.

My Fiance' and I hired Ayano for our engagement shoot and we loved our pictures. Ayano is very professional and has an amazing talent for capturing great photos. I highly recommend her and in fact I already referred her to one of my bridesmaids!

Ayano was my wedding photographer for a destination wedding. I had been a fan of her travel and documentary work and was so excited she could photograph my wedding.She did a beautiful job, was great during the planning process and provided us with a range of photos from the day that really captured the emotion and beauty of the day because of her skill. I would highly recommend Ayano to anyone looking for a photographer.

Ayano shot my wedding, and I absolutely loved the way her photos came out - so when I needed a last-minute headshot, Ayano was my first call. Not only was she able to make herself available with less than 48 hours notice, but also could seamlessly work with the constraints of our shoot location. As always, she was creative, personable and just a pleasure to work with - and once again, the photos she delivered hit it out of the park!

I have been using her for several years. She is very good.

Ayano has a great eye for details and expressions. We did a shoot in Central Park and the pictures came out very ethereal and natural. She’s also incredibly easy to work with and gets to know the individual to capture their true self in photos

Ayano came highly recommended by a good friend of mine and now I can highly recommend her myself. She's an excellent photographer, very professional, and also very nice. She got great candid shots, as well as posed portraits.

I highly recommend Ayano Hisa for any event or special project you have. Her photos are beautiful!!! Ayano is professional, creative and flexible - and a nice person (not always a given). Ayano will work with you and capture the moments you want (and many more). Importantly, Ayano knows how to photograph the many shades of our beautiful melting pot. Not everyone can do this. Ayano photographed a very sensitive family event for us. She worked with us and gave us beautiful memories from that day. We will always be grateful. With Ayano, you will get high quality at a reasonable price. Hard to find.

Ayano takes amazing shots and she is a very nice person. We wanted to work with someone who didn't necessarily focus solely on weddings and you can tell by looking at her online gallery that she is an artist first, and wedding photographer second. She's photographed lots of dance and other performances and is very adept at capturing movement and excitement in her photos. We're not the most photogenic people and she did a great job with two people who don't like taking pictures. Our guests are clamoring for copies of her photos- they're that good. Ayano has three basic packages but she can also tailor her services to your budget and needs. If you hire her, you will be rushing out to buy frames.

Ayano has an incredible ability to capture the essence of people and events. I recommend her all the time.
