Lina Shteyn may well be the only photographer we know who has published images in the New Yorker while working on a PhD dissertation in cellular biology. Although originally trained as a scientist, Lina’s life-long love of photography evolved into a new career eight years ago when she became a photographer at Ira Lippke Studios. Since then, she has developed a ground-up knowledge of the studio’s ethos and aesthetic as well as her own inimitable approach to photography that intermixes technical expertise with creative instinct. Lina’s innate European stylishness, easy-going personality and love of a good party make her a true pleasure to work with. When she’s not shooting weddings, Lina loves running in Central Park, training for her next marathon, experiencing the cultural delights of New York, learning new languages, and spending as much time as she can in her favorite European city, Amsterdam.
I just took my first scan through all the photos and have officially declared today a total wash because that’s what I will be doing all day. You truly created magic. There aren’t enough words to truly express my gratitude to you and the pictures you captured.
Thank you so much for these! It has been an absolute joy reliving the day through these beautiful photos. As one of my bridesmaids said – every single one is a work of art!
When we first met, I told you that the most important thing to me was that our photographer capture the energy and spirit of the event and you all have nailed that, - so thank you thank you thank you!
Your photos are just fantastic and totally captured the essence of the wedding - Emotional, authentic, and extremely natural. We absolutely love it!!!!!
Your calm, vision and passion were simply infectious! Thank you for sharing our special day with us!
We feel so fortunate to have you as our photographer. Lina, you have been incredibly special to us from day one.
These images are so magical! We keep looking at the photos time and again and just can’t get enough!
... (and excuse my language) but HOLY SH*T! These pictures are truly a work of art. You keep bringing me to tears. Every picture encapsulates the day perfectly.
I would choose you guys over and over and over again. Having you by my side the entire day was such a comfort. You and the team are truly so amazing, so talented, and such a pleasure to work with through this whole process.
We look forward to seeing the rest of the photos, but in the meantime we will be going through this slideshow on repeat.
