Wedding Photography by George

Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)

Photojournalistic style
Starts at $1,700
Serves Carmel, NY

I specialize in capturing your story with an attentive eye and artistic precision. From weddings and engagements to intimate family moments, I transform fleeting experiences into timeless images that reflect emotion and narrative. Each photo is crafted to showcase your personality, connections, and the essence of the occasion, with a commitment to delivering results that match your vision.

“We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!”

Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

My name is Lauren McCarthy. My parents, photographers Wendy & Charlie McCarthy began Weefan Photography in 2001. At 11, I started watching them photograph events and weddings, and the first wedding I photographed, just as I remember my first day of school. For the past fourteen years, I have mastered each and every job related to the wedding photography business. After graduating from Siena college in 2019, I was invited by my parents to manage our family's business of professional photography, and assume the duties of managing our New York Office.

“Weefan was referred to us by my husband's best friend and I was not disappointed. Lauren was so amazing to work with from the moment I reached out to even after my wedding. She's very responsive and knowledgeable about the industry and it's different trends. The day of the wedding, Lauren and her team came in and took control. There wasn't one moment I was worried things weren't going to come out how I wanted them. They even stayed a little later to take a few extra family photos for us. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was absolutely in love! They were amazing and I cannot wait to receive the rest of our photos! If you're thinking of booking Weefan Photography, definitely do it. You will not be disappointed!”

I am a Professional Journalist and Wedding Photographer from the Hudson Valley and NYC with more than 13 years and over 1,000 Weddings of experience, from most cultural and religious backgrounds you can find in New York :) Now Booking the last few of 2026 and 2027.

“There aren't enough stars to give Eddie at Anecdote Photography. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie! Like most couples, we wanted beautiful wedding photos—but what we didn't expect was to gain someone who would become such an essential part of our wedding day. From our very first phone call, Eddie made us feel completely comfortable. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but he guided us just enough to make everything feel effortless while still capturing genuine, candid moments. The result was a gallery that perfectly reflects who we are and lets us relive every emotion of the day. On the wedding day itself, Eddie absolutely blew us away. He thoughtfully organized every family photo so nothing was missed, kept everyone moving without ever making us feel rushed, wrangled family members with ease, got genuine smiles out of everyone, and even cued our DJ and vendors to keep the entire timeline on track. It seemed like every time there was a problem, Eddie had already solved it before I even knew it existed. What impressed me most wasn't just his incredible talent behind the camera—it was his professionalism, attention to detail, and anticipation. Even though we had a day-of coordinator, Eddie played just as important a role in keeping the day running smoothly. He allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. And then there are the photos. They are everything we hoped for and more—a perfect mix of timeless portraits, emotional candid moments, and so much fun. Every image brings us right back to that day. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie. I can honestly say he was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Eddie, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being so much more than a photographer. We are forever grateful.”

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.

“We knew Jess would take great photos — we’d already done our engagement shoot with her and loved her work — but on our wedding day, she truly outdid herself. From the moment she arrived, she picked up on exactly what we needed. I (the bride) was feeling overwhelmed by how many people were in the room while I was getting dressed, and Jess immediately noticed. She said all the right things to calm me down and even offered to kindly ask people to step out so I could breathe. Throughout the day, she kept everything running smoothly. She knew how to make us laugh, how to organize big groups effortlessly, and how to move things along quickly — which I especially appreciated since I’m not one for endless posed photos. Jess doesn’t just take stunning pictures; she takes the time to really get to know you beforehand, and that personal connection shines through in her work. Our experience with her was so wonderful, it honestly feels like we made a new friend. We can’t recommend her enough!”

He created a comprehensive timeline of the day and provided thoughtful professional guidance whenever we needed it, which made the entire day feel so much less stressful. On the wedding day, he captured every moment beautifully—even with some very windy conditions! We are so happy with our photos and are so grateful to have these memories to look back on for years to come.

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

“From start to finish, Matthew Rigby Photography went above and beyond. They took the time to get to know us and what mattered most, and it really shows in every photo. They made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured our day in such an authentic and meaningful way. We couldn’t have asked for more.”

I believe in the happy coexistence between posed and candid photography, and live for them both. I thrive off of positive energy and always promise to bring my own. For each couple I work with, I create a detailed and extensive timeline, posed list, and photo itinerary to ensure a smooth, relaxing, organized, and absolutely magical day.

Caitlinn pays close attention to the small details, from the way we held hands to the expressions on our guests' faces, bringing every precious memory to life in her photos. I first met Caitlinn when she was the photographer for my best friend's wedding, which happened to be on one of the coldest days of the year. I’ll never forget Caitlinn’s energy and enthusiasm—despite the chill, she was a warm and positive presence, making everyone feel comfortable and excited. After that, I knew she would be the perfect choice for our wedding as well. We booked Caitlinn for our engagement photos, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the photos were! She even joined us on a cold winter hike, creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that I told my husband afterward, “I want to be friends with her.” That’s how wonderful she is! On our wedding day, Caitlinn made me feel absolutely incredible. She was professional, timely, and brought a sense of calm and joy that made the day even more special. Caitlinn is so efficient that we received our sneak peek photos the very next day, and they were breathtaking! Despite shooting two weddings after ours, she had all our photos to us within three weeks—unbelievable! I cannot recommend Caitlinn highly enough. Not only is she incredibly talented and attentive to every detail, but she is also the kind of person you want to have around on your special day. Her warmth and positivity light up the room, and we are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer.”

If you're looking for someone to preserve your memories in a candid and true-to-life style, then let's talk! I love capturing all aspects of your wedding day from fun portraits of you and your partner to candid moments among your guests. I'm going to work with you to figure out what package fits your needs and what exactly you want to capture on your wedding day. I love making photos fun and easy because your wedding day is a special moment, not a photo shoot!

“We had the pleasure of working with Tara for a mutual client recently, and it was a great experience! Tara was responsive, personable, and professional throughout. She thoughtfully shared preview and completed photo albums with us right away, and her work is beautiful! Thanks Tara for capturing the spirit of the day (and our venue!) so perfectly! We hope to work with you again soon!”

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

“From the moment we first reached out to Love, Lucy Photography, Bethany and Raquel were incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. We knew we made the right decision when we met for our engagement session! On the day of our wedding, they went above and beyond to keep us calm and relaxed, allowing us to truly be present and soak in all the special moments. The quality of their work is outstanding - they captured the day in a way that brings us right back to the magic of that day whenever we look at the photos. We were thrilled that they were able to capture all the shots we requested, delivering the final gallery to us in a very timely manner (2 weeks!!).”

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, 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.

“Short story long. We got married in September 2025 on a bright and somewhat cloudy day in a Historic Lodge in Hudson Valley. Nina was our ONLY photographer that day. I don't know too much about photography, but I do know that on our wedding day the lighting in the building and the grounds was varied and difficult to navigate. I highlight this because the photos that Nina captured and edited were BEYOND SPECTACULAR. Aside from being extremely talented, she was incredibly kind and thoughtful throughout the day. She provided us structure prior to the day, but made everything seem seamless and effortless the day of the Wedding. I highly recommend Nina for literally every occasion. I guarantee she will be documenting every life event of ours for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much Nina!”

I'm Carroll, a photographer for those who love to live a happy, fun life! I'm married to the most amazing man and together we hike, travel, eat a lot of Chinese food, and watch WAY too many Friends reruns (which explains my crazy love for coffee). I'm also a fur-mom to the two most adorable (and spoiled) little fur-babies, Levi and Chloe. The more you get to know me, you’ll realize how much I love the simple moments of life and to make the most of it all!

“Before I even got engaged I knew I wanted Carroll to capture my wedding day. I am very lucky to have seen Carroll’s talent from the very beginning in high school and watch it blossom over time. After working with Carroll for the last 10 months, I’ve grown to appreciate her work on a whole other level. Carroll truly was my calm during a crazy storm. As a panicky bride, she could take me from a 10 to a 2 in one conversation. It rained my entire wedding day from the second I opened my eyes and it never bothered me once because I knew Carroll would make it work (and did she ever). Having Carroll, Ashley, and Erin alongside us on our wedding day was nothing short of amazing. They captured the true happiness that was there all day. I got all the outside pictures I wanted even with the all day rain (with me and my dress remaining surprisingly dry). I’m astounded how Carroll manages to be so professional and personable at the same time. We can not thank her and her team enough for everything. Our day truly wouldn’t have had the same outcome without Carroll Tice Photography.”

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

“From our first conversation with Katie Ellen Photography, we knew we'd made the right choice. Katie was responsive to every question we had and paid close attention to all the details that mattered to us, while keeping the whole process fun and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured beautiful pictures that we'll treasure forever, and she went above and beyond by being helpful with so many little things that made the day run smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish. We can't recommend Katie Ellen Photography enough to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about getting it right.”

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.

“Cappy Hotchkiss Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, their communication style was friendly, responsive, and clear. They took the time to understand our vision and made sure we felt at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - their photos have a nostalgic, natural, and emotional quality that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. Cappy's skill and creativity shone through, even in the challenging backgrounds of our intimate venue in Greenport. They beautifully documented every moment, from the getting ready shots to the ceremony and reception. The final images are timeless, memorable, and absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Cappy Hotchkiss Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.”
