  • 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.

From the moment we arrive, he knows exactly how to make us feel comfortable and natural in front of the camera. Nothing ever feels forced — he captures our real emotions, our connection, and our moments exactly as they are. The photos always turn out amazing, every single time. We’re truly grateful for his talent, professionalism, and the energy he brings to every session. We couldn’t ask for a better photographer. Highly recommend.

Cassie is a true professional who made us feel at ease from the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding. She was patient and kind during the planning stages, taking time to answer any questions I had. She was also able to recommend other vendors which we ended up booking. It put our mind at ease knowing we had a team of vendors that worked well together and we went into the day knowing everything was going to be perfect! The final results were truly special - Cassie's artistic vision and attention to detail resulted in photographs and video that captured the beauty and uniqueness of our special day which we will cherish forever! The Super8 Film is so different from most wedding videos and we're so happy we made the decision to get one. We can't recommend Cassie and The One Eleven Collective highly enough for anyone looking for a talented, professional, and fun wedding photography/videography team.

Turnquist Collective 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
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.

My husband and I got married at Red Maple Vineyard in May 2025 and Rebecca photographed our special day. We also did an engagement shoot prior that was included in the cost of our package. We are both very camera shy and this is the first time we have ever taken professional photos. Rebecca kept our photos, lighthearted, helped to pose us, and made everything feel very natural and comfortable. I have never felt more confident than in her photos. She knew exactly how to capture the emotions of the day and the amazing hudson valley scenery at Red Maple even though it poured. Rebecca is genuine and truly cares about her clients. She even stayed late while I changed into my second dress to get some extras of us. She and her husband truly go above and beyond for their clients and have a passion and talent for photography and videography. Couldn’t recommend them more and will be working with them in the future!

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.

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.

Her communication style is clear, open, supportive and incredibly organized, making the entire process feel seamless. Bridget's attention to detail is unparalleled - she was there for us every step of the way, providing guidance that went far beyond just capturing our special day. On the wedding day itself, Bridget's calming presence and professional demeanor helped us feel at ease, allowing her to capture the most beautiful, breathtaking moments. The final photos are a true work of art - bright, refreshing, and brimming with emotion. The photos far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Bridget has remarkable talent to capture both the grand moments and quiet, candid details that made our day so special. Bridget's warmth and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable, kept the day running smoothly, and brought energy that made the experience joyful and stress-free. It is evident Bridget loves what she does and truly pours her heart into every photo she takes. Bridget is everything you want in a wedding photographer and more, and we will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

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.

Our photos turned out gorgeous — exactly what we hoped for and more. We’re so grateful for her talent and the heart she put into our day.

JB Photography was the absolute best to work with! From the very first zoom call, Jenna’s energy, experience and passion were so clear. She is creative, thoughtful and detail-oriented - from making us feel at ease during our engagement photoshoot (the first time we ever did a “formal” shoot as a couple), through expertly navigating the wedding day timeline ensuring that every moment was captured, Jenna made sure that every detail was covered. When we received all of our photos we were blown away by how she and her team captured everything, from the smallest detail to the full group shots, in such beautiful and creative ways. Now the hard part - choosing our favorites (which we know Jenna will beautifully layout in an album which we’ll cherish forever)!

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.

Jaci was incredibly professional and is so talented! We had our welcome party at an arcade bar and had a vision for the photos. She totally exceeded our expectations and we are forever grateful to have worked with her. Jaci is such an amazing photographer and you should use her for any event!!

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!

Erika was an amazing wedding photographer. We hired her for both our wedding and our engagement photos. While our engagement photos were fun, the wedding is where she truly stood out. She was so easy to work with on the day of and had a blast with our guests. We had a smaller wedding (50 people) and were initially worried about missing some key shots. However, those fears were completely unwarranted once we saw our photos! We only hired Erika and didn't have a second shooter, yet she was able to capture all of the necessary family photos we wanted, candid moments, and even impromptu photo requests from guests. The photos we received were of such high quality. We had specifically told her we liked the look of black and white photos, and we received several back in our preferred editing style. The photos came back in about 6 weeks, which is incredibly fast for weddings! We also received a sneak peek within 3 or 4 days. We highly recommend Erika!

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.

Hello, new friend! I'm Rebecca. I'm a journalist who fell in love with taking pictures and documenting love. I'm also enthusiastically lgbtq+ friendly, body-positive, delighted by DIY and pro making-it-up-as-you-go. Let's celebrate your love, your way. I have to be up front about a few things. First, I'm probably going to make friends with your grandma, and even shake it while taking photos on the dance floor. Oh, and if your pet is involved in your wedding, I might pass out from joy. I will almost definitely get a little teary-eyed during your vows, but don't worry... I can take pictures and cry at the same time.

Rebecca really made us feel at ease so that we could have the best photos possible. She took into account our desire to have photos of everyone with the bride and groom from the receiving line and really captured all the special touches that made our day unique. She brings a positive energy and great ideas and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

We primarily do photography in the Catskill Mountains, Adirondacks, Saratoga Springs, Albany, Hudson Valley, Berkshires, Poconos & Vermont Green Mountain areas.

We’ve got a lot to say about Holly and Jim and it’s all absolutely glowing. From the moment Holly and Jim came to meet us for our engagement photos, we’d picked Central Park, we knew we were in incredibly capable and warm hands. Our wedding was upstate in Jefferson, New York in October 2024 was exactly what we imagined (read meticulously planned), and a huge part of that was captured flawlessly by these two talented photographers. Holly and Jim's ability to blend seamlessly into the background while still managing to capture every precious moment is astounding. They paired their prior experiences at our venue with an uncanny knack for anticipating those fleeting, beautiful instances – a loving glance, close ups on our meaningful mementos, the joy radiating from our guests. They didn't just take pictures; they told the story of how our day came together from both sides of the aisle. The photos themselves are breathtaking. The lighting, the composition, even the curation of selects afterwards – everything was absolutely professional. They managed to encapsulate the rustic charm of the venue, the vibrance of autumn in the Catskills, while also highlighting the intimate and personal moments that made our wedding so uniquely ours. From lakeside portraits in the afternoon sun, to raucous groups on the dance floor, to fireworks later that night — they had it covered from the perfect angle without ever being in the way. Beyond their technical expertise, Holly and Jim are simply wonderful people. They are kind, patient, and genuinely passionate about their craft. They were accommodating with our budget, and frankly, generous with helping us make the most of it. Holly is sharp and reassuring, she was particularly proactive with recommending local resources like a videographer. Jim is calm and easygoing, even offering to ride along with the guys from the AirBnB to the venue. If you're looking for wedding photographers who will not only deliver stunning images but also keep your day from feeling as crazy as it certainly is, look no further than Out of the Ordinary. They really are, well, it’s right there in the name. We are forever grateful for the beautiful memories they have given us. We couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Hi, I’m Angel - the lead storyteller at Angel Photo & Video. After 20 years as a fitness instructor, I followed my heart back to photography and never looked back. I capture everything from family portraits to real estate listings, but weddings are where I truly come alive. I’m all about real moments, raw emotion, and catching the little things you didn’t even know you missed. I’ll keep your day running smoothly, make it fun and stress-free, and deliver photos and videos you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angel is amazing. She is VERY knowledgeable about all things wedding which is a plus. Not everyone out here helps with questions or is willing to work with other artists. I wish I found her sooner to be honest. Her ideas are cool and fresh. She has her own style that I think captures the fun as well. She took the time to answer all 800 questions we had before and after the wedding. I am so very thankful to have bumped into her at a wedding show and I immediately knew she would be our videoographer. She is the sweetest and completely down to earth. I recommend her to everyone !

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/they), a wedding photographer based in the Adirondacks of New York. I photograph weddings with care, intention, and a deep respect for the moments that matter most for couples of all identities and love stories.

Hawthorn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Sarah and Drew were so easy to talk to and we felt like we connected with them very quickly. They are very professional but do not make you feel pressured at all - Sarah has great ideas and really hypes you up throughout the process. Drew always found creative ways to shoot the day and Sarah was there for me every step of the way, even when I needed quick help with my dress. Sarah is so dependable and the pictures they captured showcase both of their talents and our love so well. I'd pick Hawthorn Photography for photos for every occasion and in every lifetime!

Mostly-film photographer based in Upstate New York. I want to help you make memories and go the extra mile to make my clients happy. Rarely seen without my (current) favorite camera: a Leica Q2 I want to take the originals, not the photocopies

Ross blew away any expectations I had. He was so personable that multiple guests asked if he was our friend/how we knew him! He was involved in every aspect of the wedding, totally capturing the essence of the day. Rolled with whatever crazy idea we had. Genuinely a wonderful person on top of a fantastic photographer. He made you so comfortable and it really showed through the pictures. I cannot recommend him enough. We will have these pictures for a lifetime to come!! I’m so glad we went with Ross!
