  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Poughkeepsie, 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! 🙂

Sweet Alice Photography

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

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?

What can we say about Erica and her team that others haven’t said already? When we saw her portfolio, it stood out tremendously from others, whether it’s the natural colors, lighting, or composition, we both knew she was one of the most skilled photographers we’d seen, and we knew we would love her to be our photographer. When we then went to her website and read a little bit more about her and her story, we both became wide eyed and knew this was definitely our photographer. Over the next few weeks/months, as we made FaceTime dates together, set up our engagement shoot, and finally met in person, we both knew not only would Erica be our photographer, she had become our friend as well. Erica has a sweet disposition about her and is one of the nicest human beings you’ll ever get to talk to. She puts you at ease, makes the entire experience fun and very stress free – this is critical on one of the most stressful days of your life! She is excellent with communication, and her customer portal has all kinds of information that you didn’t even know you needed, and which will guide you throughout the whole process. She is quick to get you sneak peaks right away, which is fantastic since we all want to share those shots with friends and family right away. And once she sends you the final product, you will be blown away by the natural feel to each photo and how she captured each moment perfectly. Planning your wedding is already difficult enough - things go wrong, vendors don’t get back to you fast enough or are vague with their information – but working with Erica is a breath of fresh air! She stays in constant communication with you, is always available to answer questions or brainstorm ideas, and smooths the process over with ease. Plus, her positive nature is infectious and will rub off on you, especially on your wedding day. I’ve seen stressed out moms, bridesmaids, and a bride go from looking a bit overwhelmed to just beaming and glowing once she shows up and starts snapping away. Erica lives up to her company’s namesake ‘Sweet Alice’ because that’s what she is. The sweetest photographer (and person!) you’ll ever have the pleasure of working with. If you are considering hiring her for your wedding, take it from us – do it! It’ll be the easiest and one of the best wedding planning decisions you make!

  • Starts at $3,200

Welcome! I'm Anita. I aim to freeze moments in time, ensuring they never fade away. 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.

I had hired a photographer for budgetary reasons and about two weeks before my wedding panicked because I wanted another style of photography. Anita literally saved the day, thank god she was available! She worked so flexibly with the other photographer, capturing some of my absolute favorite photos of the entire day. I cannot recommend her enough!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,000

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.

Debbie Gander Photography

Poughkeepsie, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

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!

There are always things you would do differently, but hiring Debbie Gander Photography is certainly not one of them. Debbie made us feel right at home from the moment we met her. She is professional, but also kind and personable. Our engagment shoot was perfect, and set our minds completely at ease for the big day. When our wedding day arrived, Debbie delivered with the most stunning pictures, some of which we never dreamed could be possible. We will certainly work with Debbie again, that is a certainty.

I've been snapping photos for over 25 years now. What began as a fun little hobby quickly spiraled into an all-consuming passion. For more than two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG) as a marketing executive, rocking the suit-and-tie look like a champ. But you know what they say about following your dreams? Well, I finally listened. I ditched the corporate scene to capture the joy of weddings and to preserve the intrinsic beauty that surrounds us. Through my work, I aim to preserve memories, highlight untold moments, and foster a deeper connection between the viewer and my images.

The most joyful day of your life is made up of infinite infinitesimal moments. They can be fleeting, yet so incredibly significant. Mom's split-second tear, barely formed, before getting wiped away. That inimitable look in his eyes, the very first time he sees you in your dress. I guarantee you that 100% of my energy will be put forth into capturing them in a way you will absolutely never forget. We promise not to nickel-and-dime you. We promise not to make the day about us.

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 was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

Eddie and his team are by far the most fun, experienced, dependable, and talented photographers we have ever worked with. We chose Eddie based on a recommendation by one of our best friends who used him for their wedding. He captured their wedding so beautifully that once we saw his photos (which were absolutely stunning) we knew he was the perfect fit for us! He is so easy to work with and he and his team truly captured me and my husband and our family and friends in the most special way. He really makes you look like your best self. He shot our wedding and from beginning of planning to the end of receiving our photos we were thrilled with the results and truly could not ask for more. He works so hard to make your wedding picture dreams come true and we can't wait to use him again in the future for family pictures and baby pictures one day! HIGHLY recommend!

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.

Jess made us feel so comfortable from our first interview and that was the most important aspect we needed in a photographer. She was creative and adaptable in our poses. We felt like models during this experience even though neither of us are typically good picture takers. She knew all the right spots and angles at our venue which showed she really cares about her clients. We only had a few requests but she made sure everything was done exactly how we hoped for! Our wedding pictures are our most treasured wedding piece and thats all thanks to Jess.

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.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cappy Hotchkiss many times through the years and am always blown away by her upbeat energy and enthusiasm that she carries throughout the wedding day. Couples love working with her. She is professional, charming, a great sense of humor and her work is stellar. Her photographs are candid and emotionally stirring. Most importantly, they will warm your heart.

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Sarah goes above and beyond! She is so professional, an excellent communicator and truly an artist. She seems to do everything she can to make your time working with her as easy as possible and your wedding day photography seamlessly blend into the day's events. We had so much fun working with her and curating some really creative and striking images that felt like a romantic getaway from the crowd and not like we were missing out on the party. Sarah puts a lot of effort into your relationship from the beginning which makes it feel like you have another helpful friend/bridesmaid/coordinator and not at all awkward in front of the camera. I could not have asked for a better photography experience for my wedding. We even got our preview gallery so fast we were able to see in on our honeymoon which was extra special. We can't wait to see the rest of the pictures and create our photo album! Thank you Sarah!

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.

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.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

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 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 is an amazing photographer and even more amazing teammate on your wedding day! She is comforting, totally in control and overly creative to capture all the shots. From the moment we booked her she was incredibly responsive and helpful! I cannot recommend someone more!

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.

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 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!

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 the first vendor we booked for our wedding, and we're so glad we did! From the very beginning of our communication, Marilyn always made us feel at ease and seemed just as excited about our wedding day as we were. Working with her on the day was an absolute dream. She made both of us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and also made sure to capture all of the shots we spoke about beforehand that we really wanted. And we can't gush enough about how gorgeous all of the photos turned out! She did such a great job of capturing through images exactly how we felt on our wedding day, which was joyful and full of love. Trust me and just book Marilyn--you won't regret it!

I simply cannot say enough wonderful things about Sean. From the moment we contacted him, he was professional, warm, and dedicated to creating an amazing experience for his clients. I am normally very camera shy, but Sean was so easy to work with that he put me at ease immediately. And as a cherry on top, he sent our photos back within the week! When we were choosing wedding photographers, we wanted someone whose work would transport us back to our wedding day. His photos captured the small, intimate moments that we will treasure most about the happiest day of our lives- the laughs as the wedding party prepared together, the moment my father saw me in my dress for the first time, the roller coaster of emotions as we read our vows to each other, the rowdy dancing at the end of the night. I can look at a picture and remember exactly how I felt at that moment. To Sean, the photographer who captures joy- from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Know that you have created something special that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. It is clear that you take great pride in your work and it was truly wonderful to work with you.

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).

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in my fair share of weddings, and therefore have been the subject of many a professional photo. I generally find the pictures portion of the day draining, and sometimes cheesy. Our photo shoot with Chrysa was the opposite. It was SO MUCH fun. It filled my cup right up! Chrysa is funny, cool, definitely not cheesy, and she has a remarkably creative eye! My boyfriend had a blast as well. The finished products are beautiful, and you can sense the emotion in the photos. BOOK WITH HER - the photos are magical, but so is the experience.

On the day of our pictures, Shelby was very good at helping us relax and ensuring we had fun. We were both a little nervous as we didn't know what to expect but the time went by so quickly, and our photo session was so fun and romantic. Shelby is hilarious, sweet, compassionate, and high-energy. We completely trusted her vision and we were rewarded with wonderful photos for it.

My creative, fun, and candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

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. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Hannah's photography is magical! My fiancé and I did an engagement shoot with her in Central Park, and despite the early hours and super hot weather, Hannah was personable, kind, and so much fun to work with! We were so lucky to have been recommended her by a friend, and found that the entire experience was seamless--she knew tons of hidden gems in the park to take us, provided a guide in advance to take the stress out of finding something to wear, and the whole thing flew by so quickly! Within weeks we had the full album of photos and I am STILL in awe at how amazing they turned out! We can't thank Hannah enough and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for natural, artistic and beautiful photography.

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

As the mother of the bride, having the right person for the right job is essential for the perfect wedding. I can say hands-down we chose the perfect photographer in Lauren K Downing she was professional, organized and made sure every photo was timed exactly right to not take away from the rest of the wedding festivities and guests. The details that Lauren captured were way beyond our expectations. Lauren Downing would definitely be someone I would recommend to do any professional photography

They helped us prepare for the family portrait session and when the time came, everything ran smoothly. We even finished all the portraits with time to spare. They gave us ample time to take additional bride and groom couple portraits after the ceremony, which was really special since we had our ceremony at home. They are fun to be around and it felt like we were working with kindred spirits. Not to mention that the photos are absolutely gorgeous. My bridesmaids and I came out looking like goddesses! There are some really lovely candid shots and dance floor photos. I cannot say enough good things about Tom and Lexi.

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.

But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives.

It's so hard sometimes to communicate and mesh well with other vendors while working a wedding where there are so many moving parts and a timeline to stick to. Sam made that part easy! We got on the same page quickly and helped each other with shots the others wanted to get. Never got into each other's way and the entire day, start to finish it ran smoothly. I wish all videographers worked this well with fellow vendors. Makes the couples experience even better!

Melissa was very professional, pleasant and punctual. She went through all of the images she wanted to take for us with ease, and captured a lot of candid moments that are some of our favorite pictures! Her editing skills are pretty amazing, and really brought our pictures to another level and that’s exactly what I was looking for when it comes to our wedding pictures. I was really impressed with her level of professionalism, how she didn’t miss anything, and made all of us feel really comfortable. She was just a real pleasure to work with!

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.
