By Trent Bailey is a husband-and-wife photography team based in New York City and the Hamptons, with nearly two decades of experience documenting weddings. Their work is rooted in an honest, observant approach, with a focus on natural moments, candid interactions, and what they describe as “future nostalgia” — images that stay relevant long after the celebration ends.
Trent works across film and digital, often using a hand-wound Rolleiflex, while Dara shoots exclusively on 35mm. Together, they create a body of work that feels classic without being rigid, and refined without losing its sense of ease.
Over the years, their work has been recognized by Brides, Rangefinder, and Over The Moon. Still, what matters most to them is the ongoing relationship with their clients — many of whom return over time to document new chapters in their lives.
Originally from south Louisiana and now based in New York for nearly twenty years, Trent and Dara bring a strong sense of presence to every wedding. They know how to read a room, ease the energy of the day, and find the moments that are worth holding onto.
