In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

“Christopher (and Madison) absolutely MADE our wedding. We still can't believe how lucky we are since seeing what they achieved that day. Its not a competition but it feels like we won something extremely special every-time we look at the photos! Luckily you don't have to win anything you just have to BOOK CHRISTOPHER!! Top vibes energy skills vision passion best team ever!!”

Since 2014, I have been working as a professional photographer, from dance competitions, to headshots, press events, engagements, weddings, corporate, and picture day in NYC public schools. But no matter where my career has taken me, my favorite moments have always been about capturing love, connection, and togetherness. As your wedding photographer, I promise a relaxed, fun, and creative atmosphere, making sure you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. My goal is to deliver stunning visuals that will exceed your expectations.

“From the moment we first reached out to Lisa, we were impressed by her clear, detailed, and warm communication style. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her gorgeous, high-quality work was evident in the stunning photos she captured of our engagement session at the American Museum of Natural History. The artistry she brings to the sessions and ideas she presents are so unique and beautiful - I didn't even realize that we could be captured this way! The aesthetic she achieved went beyond my expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the memories she helped us preserve from our special day. Could not recommend anyone more than Lisa for ALL of your photography needs.”

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.

“Deva was absolutely wonderful to work with—warm, kind, and truly attentive to our needs throughout the day.

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!”

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.

“Jessica was truly amazing to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, Jessica had a sweet and attentive communication style that immediately put us at ease. I remember after our first virtual meeting her even sending a little thank you gift for meeting with her. And she was so kind, she asked so many questions and seemed genuinely interested about us as a couple and about our dogs! I spoke with some other photographers who seemed to care less about us as people. Which is ultimately why we went with Jessica to begin with, she was just so nice and her pictures were amazing to top it all off. Her passion for her craft was evident in the beautiful, high-quality photos she captured. Also her photo package names were so great (THE STAR WARS - "I LOVE YOU, I KNOW”)! For our engagement shoot we suffered through some of the hottest, awful, sticky, July weather and she was positive the entire time, managed to get amazing shots and deal with our crazy dogs! Before the wedding, Jessica was always easily reachable, and very on the ball. And will always be your biggest cheerleader, anytime I posted anything on Instagram, Jessica would be there celebrating, she is truly a delightful and genuine person! And I think her run through of the wedding day was the first one I got and it was perfect! And she went to the venue a week before the wedding to scope out the absolute perfect spots to take photos! On the day of the wedding, Jessica was able to calmly get every picture perfect, meanwhile making silly dad jokes to help us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. She was amazing at trying to calm down our crying moms, and giving us some moments just to ourselves, listening to literally everything we said, and always making sure we were okay, all while getting amazing shots! And all of our guests loved her! We had people reaching out during and after the wedding to tell us how wonderful Jessica was. Everyone was obsessed with her, both of our mom, my sister, my bridesmaids, even the best man kept talking about how great she was, how amazing everything went, and how nice she was with everything! Meanwhile I am sure it was like trying to her cats to get some of the photos together, especially when we both wanted huge extended family photos, but she was positive and amazing through it all! Jessica went above and beyond on our special day, making sure everything was perfect. I am sure I even missing some of the little touches she added to our wedding. And we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. She says on her website “YOU CAN CALL ME JESS (SHE/HER). AKA YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!” And that is honestly how I felt throughout the whole process, literally love her! And I mean the photos really speak for themselves, they are absolutely flawless!”

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story.

“Richard was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, his communication was impeccable. He was incredibly responsive, understanding our vision and needs every step of the way. The quality of his work is simply outstanding - there isn't anyone better equipped to capture the magic and emotion of your fairytale wedding day. Richard went above and beyond the call of duty, becoming part of our family over the course of planning and then solidified that on our wedding weekend. He captured every special moment with such love and passion for his craft. We are over the moon with the incredible photographs that will allow us to relive our day for years to come.

Photojournalistic style
Starts at $4,000
Serves Carmel, NY

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.

“I cannot recommend Matthew enough! For my surprise proposal to my girlfriend, he literally went above and beyond. On our video call consultation, I had suggested a viewpoint on Bull Hill in Cold Spring but we couldn't find a lot of photos of the exact spot—so Matthew actually hiked all the way up there a few days early just to scope it out and make sure it was perfect! On the day of the proposal, he arrived early to ensure everything went flawlessly and blended into the landscape beautifully. My now-fiance remembers noticing him but thought he was just another hiker enjoying the views. The natural photos he captured of us at the viewpoint and in the surrounding area are stunning. Matthew's dedication and meticulous preparation made us feel totally at ease. If you want a photographer who is adventurous, professional, queer-friendly, and willing to put in extra mileage (and elevation!) to get the perfect shot, Matthew is your guy!”

They’re great at taking direction if you have requests but are also assertive and creative in setting up poses and backdrops. Having two photographers resulted in TONS of shots and adequate getting ready time with both bride and groom. They’re also the nicest people and delivered the photos promptly.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

“Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!”

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & 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 unique shots on top of it all.

“Kathryn has been a friend of mine for 20 years, so I've been following her growing business and incredible adventures around the globe for a long time. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is she fantastic to work with, she loves opportunities for creativity and "outside the box" moments. I loved the idea of playing with light at night, so she found a color-changing light device to create incredible backgrounds for our night photos! I also loved that we hardly knew she and her second were there during the ceremony. She's sneaky and still gets the most beautiful photos! I cannot recommend my beautiful friend enough, especially if you're looking for someone LGBTQ friendly! Unfortunately, Google is not letting me upload photos, but please check out her website to see samples of her amazing work!”

I hold a special place in my heart for intimate weddings, destination weddings, elopements, and anything in nature. 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. I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature. Let’s explore.

“My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to have Caitlinn as our wedding photographer. She is unbelievably talented and has an incredible ability to capture the emotions of each moment. 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.”

Her communication style was fast, friendly, patient, and warm, which put us at ease throughout the entire process. Kathleen has an incredible eye for detail and an artistic approach that allowed her to capture the best lighting and most beautiful moments of our special day. She was so easy to talk to, incredibly patient with all of our questions and requests, and genuinely fun to work with. I ADORE our wedding photos and will cherish them always - Kathleen truly captured our day so perfectly, and I couldn't have asked for more in a 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!

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!

“Carroll captured our elopement in Grand Teton National Park. Seriously, she's absolutely amazing! Carroll has this incredible attention to detail that truly sets her apart. From the moment we met up with her, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. It was like hanging out with a friend rather than posing for photos. She helped us scout out the most beautiful spots for pictures weeks leading up to the wedding and was so easy to communicate with. What impressed us the most was how she prioritized our wants and needs. She made sure to communicate with our family members in a professional and respectful way to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. Carroll truly went the extra mile to make our day special. We're so grateful for her expertise and the breathtaking photos and memories she captured for us. If you're ever in need of a photographer, I highly recommend Carroll. She's absolutely the best!”

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.

“We cannot recommend Katie enough! From the moment we reached out for our wedding photography, they were incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely excited about our big day. On the wedding day, Katie was a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of planning and emotions. They blended seamlessly into our celebration, capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. The way they interacted with our guests made everyone feel at ease, which translated into the most natural and beautiful photos. The final gallery blew us away! Each image was thoughtfully composed, with stunning attention to detail. They perfectly captured the essence of the day—from the emotional vows to the joyous dancing—and we were astonished by the quality and creativity in every shot. We also appreciated Katie’s ability to stick to our timeline while remaining flexible and adapting to the day’s flow. Their artistic vision truly shone through, and we received countless compliments on our photos. If you’re looking for a talented, dedicated, and friendly wedding photographer, look no further than **Katie Ellen Photography** . They truly have a gift for storytelling through their lens, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of our special day! Thank you, Katie, for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime!”

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.”
