We worked with Jon for our civil wedding photos in Brooklyn Heights and couldn't be happier with the whole process. From the moment we got in touch with him for the first time until the handoff of all the photos, the experience was seamless. His extremely organised work methodology made everything smooth and easy. We spent two hours with him walking around Brooklyn Heights and DUMBO, and the result was a great variety of photos. Jon's got a special eye for lighting, composition and editing. On top of everything, his personality while working made it possible for us to act natural in front of the camera. 100% recommend working with him. It will be fun and the final edits will be memorable.

  • Serves Copake, NY

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

After scoping out dozens of photographers in NYC, we fell in love with Tati and Roman’s work. It was a little over our price range, but the photographs and service were absolutely worth it! I had a very challenging wedding day, there were some very emotional moments, and Tati was my right hand girl. She had her eyes on me at all time for anything I needed, from bringing me a glass of water to calm me down, to rallying and directing people clearly in photographs. My favorite moment was when it started to rain towards the end of the night and Roman had my husband and I run out to take a gorgeous picture of the rain falling around us. I can't imagine a more magical portrait of our love, and will remember it forever. That photo alone made them worth it! Additionally, they were professional, friendly, and easy to work with from beginning to end. Tati and Roman runs their business with finesse - always meeting deadlines and responding to questions and concerns quickly. They are the best out there! Book them now!!! You will never regret this!

Jenna Salvagin Photography

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna is amazing! She did our engagement and wedding photos and I was beyond blown away by them. She responds quickly to any and all comments, questions, and concerns. The style and quality of her photographs are absolutely amazing. I am plus size and told her that I was self conscious, but she does a wonderful job hyping you up and making you feel beautiful. She was absolutely fantastic to work with and definitely goes above and beyond the role of photographer. I highly recommend her. You will not be disappointed by her and her quality of work.

You will not regret choosing Anecdote Photography! Eddie was one of the first vendors I booked after seeing photos from a friend's wedding! He was so professional, helpful, and kind throughout the whole planning process. Eddie responded quickly to every email and his dedication to each and every detail was truly AMAZING. He made my husband and I feel so comfortable, especially since we are not used to being in the spotlight! Our families can not stop talking about how incredible the pictures turned out. From engagement photos to the wedding day, Anecdote Photography was exactly what I envisioned & I could not be happier! If I had to do it all again, I would book them over and over every time! I can't wait to use them again for future events!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

From the ease she created during our engagement photos to the warmth she infused into our wedding day, Jessica exceeded all expectations!

Her ability to make everyone feel comfortable extended to our family, who couldn't stop praising our great fortune in choosing her as our photographer. Jessica quickly delivered our wedding sneak peek within a week and it truly was the cherry on top of an incredible experience. She genuinely captured the essence of our love-filled day, while additionally making us feel like total models!

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

Booking Erica was by far one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding. She is extremely easy to work with, is remarkably professional, and, importantly, the pictures are spectacular. From the first chat with her to receiving the finished images, each interaction was a joy. Erica is fully present, thoughtful, and responsive. We never felt like we were being told to just do the same poses that she does with every couple - it all felt really authentic to who we are. She made us and our families feel comfortable in front of the camera with such sweetness and encouragement. Erica and her co-photographer on the day of were somehow everywhere and nowhere. They knew how to seamlessly capture every moment while somehow not being in the way of any moment. This is evident in the pictures we received. Not only do we have stunning pictures of us as a couple in settings and poses we never would have thought of on our own, we have countless candid shots of all our guests enjoying the event. If you are considering hiring Erica, do not waste another minute. Do it. Now. Before she's booked on your date. You won't regret it!

Washingtonville, NY

I have been photographing weddings for 12 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Jordan was the first person my husband and I hired for our wedding. In fact it was only a few hours after I got engaged that I ran to email Jordan after finding her exceptional work on Instagram! The only thing I knew is we HAD to have Jordan as our photographer. Since connecting in 2021, my husband and I have changed our wedding plans quite a bit. With each shift, Jordan has been accommodating, flexible, supportive, and most importantly, a friend to us. Every person I’ve seen since our wedding has remarked about the exceptional photos from our day. There’s a level of artistic expertise that Jordan possesses that simply sets her apart from so many in the field. The work is breathtaking and speaks for itself!

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography

Beacon, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

We love working with Cappy! She is an incredible story teller. She uses a mix of film and digital cameras to capture weddings in such a beautiful and unique way. Simply the best!!

Sarah's professional abilities are endless. She works well with couples, listens, adjusts and always puts the client first. We are a COVID-19 couple and had to change our date several times due to the ever changing restrictions. Sarah was always there to support and understand us. She is so incredibly thoughtful with her work and as a person. We really enjoyed working with Sarah and would highly recommend her to anyone getting married.

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
I'd been following Nina Marin on Instagram for a number of years so once I got engaged, I knew exactly who to reach out to to capture my engagement shoot and elopement. As someone who cringes at being in front of the camera, she made me feel at ease and didn't hesitate to pose us or adjust our awkward hands/faces/etc. The pictures we got back felt like us — Nina was able to capture not only the visual aspects of our special day, but also the sheer bliss. I'm so grateful to have worked with such an easygoing and trustworthy photographer.

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Erica and Elle were a dream to work with for our wedding! After seeing Erica in action at a wedding I was in the bridal party for, we knew we wanted her to photograph our Brooklyn wedding too. From the planning, to wrangling everyone day-of, to the photographs themselves and our wonderful album, we could not have asked for a better person to document our wedding. Since then, Clean Plate Pictures also photographed my sister's wedding and that of a good friend. Erica also referred us to our Coordinator and Photobooth, both of whom we were also incredibly happy with. We can not recommend Clean Plate enough!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Picture this: the exact curve of a smile, the hues of an unforgettable sunset, the ability to relive a cherished memory and rewind time. I value creating a safe haven for every facet of your humanity. Whether you're camera-shy or uncertain about interacting with a stranger, I strive to make the process comfortable. Let's not just capture moments; let's craft an experience where, perhaps, we'll both discover a new friend in the making.

From engagement shoot, to family shoot, to the wedding shoot, and soon to be newborn shoot .. we couldn’t ask for a better photographer. She is willing to make whatever dreams you have come true.

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

My wife and I used Rebecca for both our engagement and wedding photos because of how easy to work with and enjoyable the photo shoots were. Not to mention how gorgeous all her work turns out! We’re both camera shy people but this was the most pain-free and happy experience I’ve ever had in front of a camera. Rebecca is great with making sure her client’s needs are met but is also good at going with the flow and making the environment/setting work for her. If I have any other life events that need to be photographed, I know who my only call would be!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

As a wedding florist, I've had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented and gifted photographers throughout the years and certainly have my favorites. Alex from White Poppy weddings is for sure one of them. She is kind, genuine, very easy to work with and I LOVE that she has an eye for not only only capturing the tender and important moments, but the beautiful details that tell the story of the day. I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!! I could not recommend this sweet, talented gal enough.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam June is simply an artist. There is an undeniable coolness with her vibe and an authenticity she brings to her work. From the first phone call, through the delivery of our wedding album, Sam shows a passion for her clients and is genuinely able to connect on a deep level through her photography. We were lucky enough to have her genius to capture our wedding day. We had heavy rain the majority of our October wedding in the Hudson Valley, which Sam navigated beautifully at Red Maple Vineyard. Looking back on the photos has allowed us to remember a joyous day in our lives with our friends and family. Sam's eye catches stunning moments you can marvel at. Our family and guests also commented on how much they appreciated Sam's warm presence. We loved every second we got to spend with Sam and will be forever grateful for all her recommendations and guidance throughout the entire wedding process! We have so much love and gratitude for her.

If there is anything I'd love for you to know the most about me, it's this: I will show up for you with compassion, courage and patience (and a little unconventional when inspired). My superhero strength is to see things that you don't; capturing significant moments or your 'perfect side.' I will transform your misconceptions about how you look on camera. It's empowering. I want to do that for you. I received my BFA in fine-arts from Pratt Institute and shot my first wedding in 1992. Photomuse was founded in 2002 and has gone on to become an award-winning photography studio.

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

Working alongside Debbie was a joy! I was a videographer to a wedding she was photographing. To the couple, Debbie was patient, calm, and professional throughout the day, and helped the couple not only stay at ease during some stressful moments, but also enjoy their wedding day amidst the hiccups. To myself and the other vendors, Debbie was collaborative, creative, and flexible to each of the fellow vendors specific needs for the day. Her photos from the wedding were authentic, timeless, and stunning! I would highly recommend Debbie Gander Photography to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding!

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

I was born and partially raised in Southern California. After a few years + an exceptionally long cross country road trip - my parents decided to move us to the east coast. We've been complaining about the beaches ever since. My sister was always the artistic one. She sold her first piece while she was still in middle school, it took me a lot longer to figure out what I wanted to do. When I started doing photography - I honestly didn't realize how much I'd love it. It's not just about the lighting, filter, or the pursuit of the perfect Instagram feed. Sometimes it means going into the ocean to get the perfect shot.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

Marilyn was an absolute dream to work with. She was organized and kept our group photos on schedule with a soft, friendly smile. Marilyn had a very unique way of making everyone feel comfortable and I think that played a huge part in how amazing the photos turned out. The final product was exactly what we were looking for - a perfect mix of traditional, photo album wedding photos and cool, sophisticated party candids. Marilyn was on time to all events and she delivered the photos quite quickly after our events. Seriously cannot recommend her enough!!!! 10/10 experience.

Bailey was recommended to us by a friend and boy are we so glad she gave us the recommendation! From the very first phone call, Bailey was fun, personable and genuinely wanted to get to know us as a couple. We ended up hiring her twice - once for our small covid wedding, and again when we finally had our reception. She does phenomenal works - beautiful, well composed shots, with a great eye for candids. But more than that, she keeps the day fun and light, which is especially helpful with how stressful a wedding day can be. My husband was especially impressed with how she was able to handle his big, sometimes unwieldy family. She was easy to collaborate with with when it came to putting together our album, which came out so beautifully! Bailey was also very transparent, communicative, and quick to respond to questions throughout the whole process (both times!) Would highly recommend hiring her!

From the moment I got engaged, I knew I wanted Christopher and his team to be a part of mine and my husband's day. I had been lucky enough to see his work beforehand for a family member's wedding he had photographed. The quality of his work was and is stunning. I knew I had wanted someone who understood how important creating and capturing memories was for us and Christopher and his team absolutely delivered that feeling for me. His creative energy and easy-going vibe made him a lot of fun to work with. We love every single photo he took - from the engagement photoshoot to the wedding! What surprised me the most about Chris and his team was how he blended right into the event, sneaking perfect photos while people were enjoying themselves. I've seen a few photographers who need to be right in front to get everything and often it feels either overbearing or uncomfortable but there was none of that with Chris. I was able to enjoy the day without worry that moments were being missed. His professionalism and expertise made the day that much more special to us. We cannot recommend Chris and his team enough!!

All I can say is, we are actually upset the wedding is over cause we won’t be able to hang out with Jen and Steve anymore! These two are some of the most talented and kind hearted artists we have ever met. Simply by looking at their portfolio you can tell how timelines and unique their style is - but working with them was a true pleasure. We did an engagement session with them in Sparta and not only did we get the most beautiful sunset pictures that screamed our personality of laughing and love, but we had such a fun day. Jen had so many cool ideas to get shots that we ended up hanging in our house. At our wedding, Jen and Steve were extremely professional, punctual, and organized. They listened to us and understood what shots were most important to us; they tracked the weather (as it was going to rain) so well that we ended up getting a 2 hour pocket without rain for our Bride Groom shots. At the church, they were both so stealth that you didn’t even realize that they were there! I started crying before I walked down the aisle, and while I got to know Jen really well cause she was with the girls in the morning, Steve was there before I walked down the aisle and with a calming smile provided words of comfort. I do not have one bad thing to say about them, and would refer them a thousand times over and over.

At the end of several hours, Sean had taken over 300 photos, all of which are so good that it would be difficult to choose between them . Within several days, the photos were available to us on line and ready to distribute to our guests.

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

I genuinely had the best time and I'm so in love with each and every photo. Moral of the story: stop putting off booking with Chrysa and just do it; you will not regret it!

Stephanie’s flexibility and accommodating nature were evident from the start, adapting seamlessly to changes like a rain backup date and offering valuable insights on locations, outfits, and shooting times. Her eye for optimal settings, creative backgrounds, and her considerate approach reflected her commitment to delivering the best possible photographs. She effortlessly incorporated our extensive group photo wish list, capturing various combinations of family and friends while maintaining her signature style. Her meticulous planning, note-taking, and venue scouting ensured she was well-prepared for the multiple locations, diverse lighting conditions, and different rooms throughout our wedding weekend. Our engagement session not only provided an opportunity to get comfortable in front of the camera but also served as an introduction to Stephanie's chill and friendly personality.

Stephanie's dedication shone brightly during our welcome party, where she artfully mingled with our guests, ensuring every significant moment was documented. Her ability to capture candid and natural interactions, especially among family and friends meeting for the first time, added immeasurable value to our wedding memories. On our wedding day, Stephanie skillfully captured spontaneous moments during the ceremony, including a few surprises that added to the overall enjoyment of the day. We were delighted that she could portray the lively reactions of our guests during these unexpected moments. From the early setup to the late-night dance floor light trails, Stephanie's genuine enthusiasm added to the fun and magic of our celebration. And, of course, her skill in tying the perfect square knot on the bride's dress was much appreciated. Stephanie's attention to detail and dedication to capturing finer elements truly stood out. Documenting everything from florals to table décor, furnishings, food, and beverages allowed us to cherish these details forever. Despite our busy timeline, Stephanie's keen eye noticed small yet meaningful nuances, and her photos became invaluable memories. What sets Stephanie apart is not just her stunning photos but the entire experience she provides. From dependability and organizational skills to the fun and ease she brings, Stephanie is more than a photographer; she's a wonderful person.

I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: If you want photos that capture the true, vibrant goodness of your day then book Nicole! She is a consummate professional who can help even the most camera-shy (or averse) relax in front of the lens. The Deets: My husband and I loved working with Nicole from the very start! She was consistently kind, professional and punctual. Communication was easy and efficient! She made us feel like we were in such good hands. Since my husband is camera-averse, it was important for us to find someone who could make the process fun and relaxed. From the first minute of our engagement shoot Nicole made it clear that we were in the right hands! There was no pressure to “perform” and she just gave us little directives as we needed them. The mix of conversation and photo-taking was perfect to put even my husband at ease. Our wedding day continued the good vibes! Nicole and her second shooter were right on time and proceeded to be a dynamic duo. I had quite the laundry-list of portraits and they tackled them with ease. Where Nicole truly shines is in the unposed, natural moments of the day. She captured the mushy-lovey fun and tears all day, making sure to get those little moments of magic in between. Nicole worked seamlessly with my videographer as well. The two of them were less concerned about the rain of the day and more so with our comfort shooting in it. We were game and they both made that rain look like a paid actor! Nicole's photos beautifully reflect the syrupy rich colors I remember, grounding my experience of the wedding day. I can't thank her enough for reflecting the truth of our day so perfectly. Venue: Full Moon Resort, the Catskills (NY) Photo Package: 8-hrs with second shooter

The two photographers, Mike and Irene, kept the photos going to make sure we got all the family photos but that we also had time to enjoy and relax before the ceremony. All of the shots were relaxed and fun. They listened to everything we wanted and captured great photos during the reception without people even noticing they were around! It was exactly what we were looking for. I personally don't like a lot of photos and Mike did an excellent job at managing the photos and making them fun through out the day, knowing you need to take a lot!

Not only did our photos come out gorgeous, Rayleen and Tim were a joy to work with. They made me feel so comfortable and fit in with ease at my very small and intimate Covid wedding. Rayleen also did my engagement photos…she claimed a TREE to get the best shots she could. Rayleen and Tim became friends to my husband and I.

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
We fell in love with Alli’s photos when we were first searching for a wedding photographer and instantly had a connection once we reached out to her. She first shot our engagement shoot and we were so impressed with the photos we got back. The lighting, the edits, and how comfortable she made us feel truly showed in how amazing the photos came out. Then on our wedding day, she came on time, was well prepared and it felt like she was just one of the girls there to help me keep it together! Our wedding was shot in a dark building, which we were a little worried about the photos being dark but they were phenomenal! She got every shot we asked for and then some. Alli really knows her stuff, and I honestly would pick her a thousand times over again if I had to do it again!

PSPi was absolutely AMAZING! We needed a last minute photographer and video for February and were very lucky to find Pavel, Ed, and David at PSPi Studios, they were very easy going and helpful with ideas. They photographed at the location before and knew all the beautiful spots! The photos came out amazing, they are all gorgeous! I feel like they really understood the look and feel we wanted from our simple, not over-the-top wedding. They captured the moments from the night and the details from the wedding beautifully. I have gotten tons of compliments on the photos and was so happy to receive over 3k of photos. We will definitely book PSPi Studios again for future events...Highly recommended!

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday.

Hannah was a fabulous photographer for our wedding and I heartily recommend her to everyone! Long before the event took place, she made sure we were all on the same page about the process and what she would be capturing. She held our hand through our dealings with difficult family members, and made everyone feel great during the portraits. She is extremely professional, discreet, and was honestly the MVP of our wedding team, offering welcome advice along the way. The photos she took are beautiful, energetic, and we're so happy to have them.

Kimberly is an expert. And we would recommend her to anyone. My partner was a groomsmen in a wedding that Kimberly was the photographer for and he was so impressed by her presence and efficiency (not to mention we both loved her photography) that we immediately reached out when it came to our wedding.  Her ability to capture the best and sweetest moments without feeling like we were surrounded by cameras is truly a super power. We were floored by the incredible images she took. Not only did she manage the schedule based off of the photos we wanted to take, but her talent is evident in the countless pictures we have from our wedding weekend that look back on this special milestone. She captured the essence of our day in ways that felt natural to my partner and me -- and to us, that's the mark of an expert photographer.  Kimberly also balances this ability to wield a calm and warm energy while commanding a large room of people to get a photo together -- which is not easy. Her energy and grace is exactly what you need on a stressful day filled with places to be and schedules to follow. She was truly our favorite person to work with leading up to and during the weekend. Easy, efficient, communicative and most importantly kind.  Photos are important to look back on the day you've spent so much time preparing for and we would put our faith in Kimberly all over again for future events and endless recommendations to other couples. We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures she took of us.

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kim was one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked. As soon as we had our introductory call with her, we were hooked! Like many other couples, it was our first time being photographed and we wanted to find someone that would make us feel as comfortable as possible. Kim was warm, genuine and patient with us. She knew exactly what to do and how to get us to open up in front of the camera. Due to the pandemic, when we had to postpone our original wedding date, Kim was extremely accommodating and understanding. And as a stressed out couple whose plans were constantly changing, she was so helpful in offering solutions and suggestions for us. We are forever grateful to Kim for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Although we didn’t hire a videographer, the photos itself told the whole story of our day. Clicking through the pictures, it felt like we were watching a movie. We found so many moments that we didn’t even realize she caught. She happened to be in the right place at the right time. And her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want too many posed photos and wanted something timeless. She allowed us to focus on each other and our photos reflected our honest emotions. She is truly authentic and forms wonderful connections with all of her couples. Kim is more than just a wedding photographer and we would highly recommend her to everyone.

My name is Charles R. Bullard, and Tell Your Story Studios allows you to get impactful photos that capture memorial moments in your life. I aim to ensure you feel exceptional and natural when I capture a piece of your life's journey in a fun and colorful look. Celebrating the next chapter in your life should be one you constantly want to look back at and smile. Finding the right photographer to work with is essential. Trust and comfortability make the dynamics between the client and the photographer create magic. Like looking for the perfect pair of shoes to an outfit. It makes you look great, feel confident, and represent your style.

Tell Your Stories went above and beyond! My first impression working with Charlie is that he is extremely communicative. Him being proactive really put my nervousness about photography at ease. Secondly, I feel like Charlie captured us perfectly. I get really nervous about photography because I don't know how to pose, so I was expecting it to be an awkward shoot. But wow! Everything felt very natural, and Charlie just knew when to take the shots. We had a planned to take pictures in a park and those turned out wonderful, but Charlie also asked if we could stop downtown for a bit to take a few more pictures. We have a small downtown and absolutely adore our city, and I think those pictures turn out just a good if not better than the location we had initially chose. There was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to work our wedding as well. And of course thus far his level of professionalism has far exceeded any of our other vendors. It's nice to take a back seat in wedding planning for once. Thank you, Charlie and Tell Your Stories!

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.
