About us.
Happy Shots Studio, Inc. is a Long Island–based event and portrait photography studio dedicated to capturing meaningful moments with purpose and precision. Founded by a brain injury survivor, our work not only preserves life’s milestones—it supports long-term recovery for others.
With over 15 years of experience, we blend technical expertise with a relaxed, editorial style to create timeless, authentic images tailored to each client. Our approach combines modern storytelling with refined, fine-art quality.
Recognized by platforms like The Knot and Zola, we specialize in everything from intimate weddings to professional portraits and dynamic events. Every session is designed to be seamless, allowing you to stay present while we handle the details.
Our team is highly trained, approachable, and experienced across all photography styles, including our Velocity Sports Division, which delivers high-impact sports imagery. We use elite professional equipment and bring proven planning and execution to every shoot. Fully licensed and insured.
On-location services available, including premium photography and professional-grade prints delivered on-site.

Founded by brain injury survivor Brad, the studio is driven by his creative vision and personal experience. With over fifteen years of successful work in photography, Brad brings both skill and genuine empathy to every project. He proudly offers an all-inclusive experience with a discounted rate for fellow brain injury survivors.
