Equality matters. Black Lives Matter. Trans & Womens rights are human rights. Science is real. No human is illegal. Love is love. Period.

“....so we can hire Nicole again! Hands down, hiring Nicole was the best decision we made (after deciding to marry each other). From day one, she put us totally at ease, and was great to communicate with (including panicked emails where I changed my mind many times). As an LGBT couple, we encountered many vendors in the wedding planning process who didn't seem supportive, but Nicole was totally affirming. And the PICTURES, from both our engagement session and our wedding, are AMAZING. We're trying not to cover our entire home with them, but no promises. We couldn't recommend Nicole enough, stop reading this and go book her now!”

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography tells authentic wedding stories through a relaxed, documentary style. Based in Albany, New York and traveling wherever love leads, Kristen and her team focus on genuine moments rather than stiff poses. From intimate elopements to vibrant celebrations, every wedding is approached with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each couple’s unique story. The goal is simple: photographs that feel real, timeless, and unmistakably you.

“We worked with Kristen & Sheridan for our wedding earlier this year and are so lucky to have found them! TL;DR: From planning and day-of execution to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Kristen & Sheridan were incredible to work with. Not only were they the perfect presence for our wedding day, they captured it in such an authentic way with a stunning final product. We connected with Kristen & Sheridan the moment we met them which was important to us considering the amount of time you spend around your photographers. We did an engagement shoot prior and we not only received an incredible batch of photos, but we were able to establish a rapport that made the flow of our wedding day feel that much easier. When we had to tweak our photo schedule or change locations, they were the perfect people to help us pivot and keep things on track. And when it was time for the ceremony & reception, their discrete coverage led to incredible results that captured our day in such an incredible way. The wedding gallery they created was nothing short of amazing and we were able to see moments of friends & family we would have never seen day-of. And truly, everyone who interacted with them LOVED them. We had opted not to have a videographer and knew our photographs were going to be our primary memory of the day, and we have no notes! Kristen & Sheridan captured the perfect story of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!”

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
“I cannot GUSH enough about Becca. She was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. In the midst of wedding planning busyness, Becca led a thorough meeting with us (the couple) going over the day-of schedule, and covering an exhaustive comprehensive list of all possible photos, helping us prioritize the ones we needed and letting go of those that may have ended up stressing us out to try to take! She made sure to be sensitive to all our hopes for photos, family dynamics, and more. I (the bride) was sick on the wedding day and had to make some adjustments to the day-of schedule, and Becca not only adjusted with such grace and flexibility, but also offered great game-time ideas to make sure we got all the photos we wanted with even less time! During the wedding, Becca stayed even longer than scheduled, was so patient but commanding with getting family photos organized, and stayed in the background throughout the day even though she was right by my (the bride!) side getting the best candid photos. That way, I was able to feel supported AND even more relaxed, she was so nimble, positive, and masterful. As I’ve said since the beginning of working with her, she is simply the BEST.”

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

From our first interaction, she was timely, thoughtful and kind in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Sydney went above and beyond, providing not just amazing, ethereal and timeless photography, but also offering invaluable support and assistance whenever we needed it. She truly has a talent for capturing all the special moments that make a wedding day so unique and meaningful. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend Sydney more highly to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.”

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. 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.

“I’m SO glad that we hired Jaci to be our photographer for our wedding. I felt that she was 100% aligned with what I wanted for the photography: minimal posing/forced moments and lots of candids of all the love and fun times. We’ve only received our preview photos so far (we just got married a couple weeks ago) but I can already tell she killed it. I’m already so happy with what we have and have been looking at them nonstop! On the day Jaci was a delight to work with and so much fun. Her and her assistant were so friendly and nice, really putting me at ease while I was freaking out. I am NOT comfortable in front of a camera but somehow in the pictures I look totally natural. They were also very much on the dance floor during the reception getting in the mix and getting those incredible pictures of people partying and celebrating that we hoped for. I remember a couple times spotting them out of the corner of my eye and just thinking “I know these are gonna be good” and they very much are! At brunch the morning after many people were remarking about how much fun the photographers were. Just good vibes and great photos all around, I would definitely recommend working with Jaci!”

My smashing team photographs weddings have different coverage options that will hopefully not break the bank. Our people go throughout upstate New York, Massachusetts, and Vermont. Couples receive all edited pictures on flash drives to print and share with no restrictions; plus, online viewing is always included with any coverage for at least five years. Paul Saunders Photography is the most-reviewed photography company in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and all of New England.

“We hired Paul Saunders Wedding Photography early on and didn't worry about communicating until closer to the wedding, but Paul stayed organized and kept us in the loop every step of the way. He sent us Chris, a photographer we immediately clicked with, who had such a relaxed energy that we barely noticed he was there while he captured incredible candids. My husband and I are both introverts and get awkward in front of cameras, but Chris kept us laughing and made the whole day feel fun instead of stressful. He even remembered our guests' names and reminded us to actually eat at our reception, plus he made our first touch and vow exchange way less uncomfortable than we expected. Chris had a gift for putting us at ease while still getting stunning shots. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend Paul Saunders to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares.”

Being married for over 25 years, we bring an understanding of real love and partnership into every wedding we document. We believe the best wedding photos don't come from perfect posing-they come from being fully present. Because the truth is, your wedding day isn't a photoshoot. It's a blur of emotion, energy, nerves, laughter, and moments you didn't even see happening. Our job is to catch all of it. Not by staging it. Not by interrupting it. But by paying attention in a way most people don't.

“Working with Rebecca and Turnquist Collective was warm and seamless with beautiful photographs as the end result for both our engagement and wedding day. She was organized and a clear communicator from the very beginning, helping guide our shot list as well as grabbing candids and some Polaroids to ensure we captured all the best memories. Between our engagement shoot and our wedding day it was so easy to work with her and her second shooter Avery! I truly could not recommend them enough!”

Sawicki Studios are husband & wife wedding photographers in the Albany NY, Upstate NY Capital Region area since 2007. Our photographic style can be described as modern and unique yet timeless and classic. We use our signature stylized flare sparingly to sprinkle in a little magic into our client's images while remaining authentic to them and their day- which is a mix of candid photojournalism (documentary style) with a good helping of fine art. Our goal is to simply be visual storytellers through our artistic vision with quality and expertise.

“Jen and Chris at Sawicki Studios are simply exceptional. We are not natural posers (at all) and we were a little nervous about how our photos would turn out. That worry disappeared within minutes of being around them. They have this incredible ability to make you feel completely at ease while also directing you with confidence, always knowing exactly what would look best and getting us into poses we never would have found on our own. What blew us away was how completely they documented our day. Every moment felt captured: the candid in-between moments, the big emotional beats, the details we didn't even notice in real time. When we got our gallery back faster than expected, we were genuinely speechless. The couples portraits and golden hour shots look like they belong in a magazine. The colors, lighting, and editing style matched the vibe of our wedding perfectly. Jen and Chris don't just take photos, they disappear into the background and let your day unfold naturally, while somehow capturing everything. We've already recommended them to others, and we'll keep doing so!”

For me, photography is not only an art, but an outlet. I have always been creative and there's something fulfilling about capturing beautiful images of days filled with love and emotion. I love capturing everyone's unique love story and being able to freeze moments and give them back to you in photographs.

“Krystal is nothing but professional and takes the most stunning photos. She has unique ideas that set your poses apart from every other photographer. Her packages are of great value and she goes above and beyond in giving you the best product. She's also a ton of fun and one of the nicest people you could work with. We hire her for all of our photo needs!”

I’m Jennifer, the photographer behind Rare Rose Photography, an award-winning wedding and engagement photography business based in Altamont, NY. With 10 years of experience, I photograph weddings, elopements, micro weddings, engagements, and celebrations throughout the Capital Region, Berkshires, Adirondacks, and beyond.

I offer flexible, personalized coverage so you can build photography around your celebration.

“We hired Rare Rose Photography for our wedding and couldn't be happier with the results. From the moment we met the team, they understood what we wanted and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The photos came back with this beautiful, luminous quality that made every shot pop—the lighting and clarity are just stunning. They captured all the quiet moments between us and our families that we'll treasure forever. Their pricing is fair for the caliber of work they deliver, and honestly, the sneak peeks alone had us excited to see the full gallery. We'd recommend Rare Rose to anyone looking for a photographer who delivers gorgeous, bright images without the hefty price tag.”

Photographer, storyteller, and believer in the power of a single moment. For nearly 30 years, I’ve been behind the lens capturing people in their truest form. I got my start as an assistant, and that foundation shaped not just my skill but my love for the craft. I launched my own business because I knew photography was more than just pictures—it’s a time capsule, a way to freeze a feeling you’ll want to return to forever. At the heart of it all, I want you to feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely seen. My job isn’t just to take your photo—it’s to help you step into a space where your story shines.

“Christina Primero Photography was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From her on-top-of-everything communication style to her relaxing, calming energy, she made the entire photography process smooth and stress-free. The quality of her work is truly professional and high-caliber - she captured so many beautiful, high-quality images that we'll cherish forever. Christina even surprised us with an old Andy Warhol-inspired camera and fun photobooths for our events, which was such a special touch to help capture all the memories. Christina is truly the sweetest, most genuine vendor we worked with, and we're so grateful for the incredible job she did documenting our special day.”

Hi! Welcome, and thanks for stopping by! I bet you have a great story to tell. Well, as luck would have it, I am a storyteller, specializing in candid and creative wedding and portrait photography in Upstate New York. I strive to keep things simple, relaxed and fun. I understand the value of good photography as a family keepsake and a means to communicate with future generations in a way that words fall short.

“We cannot recommend Jenn enough! From the very beginning, she was responsive, helpful, organized, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her talent is undeniable, and she truly has an amazing eye for capturing moments in a way that feels natural, beautiful, and authentic. One thing that really impressed us was how much preparation she put into our wedding day. Before the wedding, Jenn visited both our ceremony and reception locations to scout photo spots and create a plan. She also sent us a detailed schedule ahead of time, making sure we had a clear timeline for the day and knew exactly what to expect. In what can often feel like a whirlwind of emotions and activity, Jenn was the calm in the chaos. She kept us on track, made sure we knew when it was time to get ready, and helped us feel relaxed throughout the day. We chose one of Jenn's packages that included a second photographer, and we are so glad we did. Shout out to Jess, who was amazing! Having a second photographer helped us feel much less cramped for time and allowed more moments to be captured throughout the day. If it's within your budget, we highly recommend it. What truly sets Jenn apart is that she goes far beyond her role as a photographer. She and Jess helped pin flowers on the groomsmen and the bride's dads, provided advice and words of encouragement, and were always ready to jump in wherever needed. Jenn genuinely cared about making sure our day went smoothly and that we were able to enjoy every moment. And then there are the photos. Jenn's work speaks for itself. We also did engagement photos with her, and as someone who usually hates how they look in pictures, I can honestly say there wasn't a single photo I didn't love. She has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, and that shines through in every image she captures. Looking back, Jenn wasn't just our photographer. She felt like a trusted friend who was invested in making our wedding day as special as possible. Thanks to her, we have stunning photographs that perfectly captured not only how our day looked, but how it felt. Thank you, Jenn, for your creativity, kindness, organization, and unwavering support. We will cherish these memories and photos for the rest of our lives. ️”
