Kozmo Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (15 reviews)
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800
  • Serves Athens, NY

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

“My husband’s mom works in the wedding industry and recommended Kevin at Kozmo Photography- needless to say, we knew we'd made the right choice. His communication was straightforward and thoughtfu every step of the way, which made the whole planning process feel easy. During our wedding day, Kevin had a gift for helping us relax in front of the camera- he kept things fun and made us feel comfortable being ourselves. The photos he captured are stunning and truly flawless, and we were thrilled by how reasonable his pricing was for the quality of work. Kevin even went above and beyond by stopping at my family home to photograph us with our pup, which meant the world to us. We can't thank Kevin enough for bringing his kindness and skill to our special day!”

Turnquist Collective

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

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!”

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.

“Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the harder parts of planning for us — we weren’t really sure what to look for and didn’t know much about photography. But from the very first phone call with Kristen, it was instantly clear that she was the one. She’s incredibly organized, knows weddings inside and out, and yet somehow keeps everything feeling laid-back and easy. She made us feel relaxed and taken care of through every step. Our engagement shoot was effortless, fun, and genuinely one of our favorite memories. Kristen has this amazing way of making you feel like you’ve known her for years — warm, calm, and completely present. On our wedding day, Kristen and Sheridan worked together seamlessly. They made everyone feel comfortable, blended right in with our families and wedding party, and brought such positive energy. Kristen was familiar with our venue and knew exactly where to go for the best light and most beautiful backdrops — including places we had no idea even existed, like the rooftop and an incredible hidden attic. She coordinated with the venue team like a total pro and even helped me put in my veil! Shooting our Couple’s portraits with them was one of the most unexpectedly special parts of the day. Kristen and Sheridan made us feel like actual models while keeping it authentic and fun. There was something so meaningful about being photographed by a married couple who clearly love and support each other — it made the whole experience even more emotional and memorable. The photos? Breathtaking. Every single moment — from the big ones to the quiet in-betweens — was captured beautifully. We truly don’t know how they do it. Kristen and Sheridan will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book them — it’ll be one of the best decisions you make!”

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Bridget is magical. We were extremely fortunate to have such a capable, kind, communicative, and creative photographer helping us capture our special day. From the moment we had our first consultation, she was there for us, offering guidance and support every step of the way. We even got our dream engagement photo-shoot with her in the Fall to compliment our Summer wedding date. Most importantly, Bridget really captured who we are as a couple. We didn't have too many specific ideas going into our photos, but her suggestions were always spot on and brought out the best in us in every shot. Bridget is truly and uniquely talented; we highly recommend her.”

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
“Becca was wonderful to work with, her talent really showed on our wedding day. I especially loved her ability to take photos in the moment. I never felt like I was dedicating too much time to photos during the wedding and I had a great time working with her. Becca is truly also such a kind individual, we had a DIY outside wedding and she always checked in with us asking if we needed any help or needed to take a break. That’s something above and beyond what any photographer needs to do. In addition, our photos came back super fast and were absolutely stunning. There was a ton of photos to look at days after the wedding which was great to be able to share with my family and friends. I would 100% recommend Becca to anyone looking for an engagement photo or wedding photographer she really captured more than I ever dreamed of with our photos and I really enjoyed working with her.”

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.

My name is Maisie and I am SO. DARN. EXCITED you are here! Celebrating and capturing you cool cats and kittens is one of my FAVORITE things to do and I am so stoked to share in your story. It’s not about the photos. It’s about you. It’s being playful and emotional; it’s being authentic; it’s creating something that is effortlessly you. I am known for my genuine, immersive, classic images and my easy-going, joyful nature from booking to gallery completion.

“We truly cannot recommend Maisie Snyder enough. From the very beginning, communication was seamless and reassuring, and on our wedding day she went far beyond what we ever expected from a photographer. She brought such a calming, supportive presence that instantly put us at ease, kept everything running smoothly, and somehow managed to capture every meaningful moment without ever feeling intrusive. At one point, she even helped me change into my second dress and showed such genuine care and kindness toward my grandmother moments that went far beyond her role and meant so much to us. The photos themselves are absolutely stunning timeless, emotional, and full of life. Every image tells a story and brings us right back to how the day felt. It’s clear that this isn’t just a job for her; she truly cares about her couples and their experience. If you are looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also kind, attentive, and deeply invested in your day, look no further. Hiring Maisie Snyder was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, and we will treasure these photos forever.”

Meghan Marks Photography

  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Athens, NY

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

“Meghan shot our engagement and wedding photos in 2015 and did such an amazing job. She was very personable, open to suggestions and had a great vision in working with us. She also had a very large and rowdy wedding party to contend with and did so beautifully. We were so over the moon with her and her work that she has become our family photographer. She has shot our maternity pictures and every year since. She is very affordable and does amazing work. She is the kindest person and it really feels like she's become apart of our family.”
