Kathryn Cooper Weddings 
Rating: 5.0 (18 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Chelsea, NY

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.

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

Christopher Duggan Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (50 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Chelsea, NY

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. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Christopher to photograph and videograph our sangeet celebration rather last minute as we were busy planning everything else, so it was quite a relief and so helpful to see how swiftly he communicated with us and delivered on such wonderful memories. Christopher was amazing to work with - as we had wanted, the posed photos were quick (yet came out incredible). We asked him to focus on the celebration and dancing and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Christopher -- thank you for making our evening so special!!

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 Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication style was kind, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was exceptional - the photos she captured were absolutely beautiful and they were able to document all of the best moments of our special day, even in the midst of torrential rain. My company has worked with DeVa a few times and she is the sweetest, happiest, and most talented photographer. I would recommend Deva a thousand times over to any couple looking for stunning wedding photos and a warm presence on their special day.

We truly couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our engagement session and wedding! Eddie was so warm, welcoming and loving. My husband and I are a little awkward in front of the camera but during our engagement session, Eddie worked with us to find a way to be more comfortable. By the end of the day we were all laughing and having fun! Flash forward to our wedding day, we couldn't wait to work with Eddie again. Despite our extremely cold day, Eddie braved the cold with us and managed to get the most romantic, beautiful photos. We couldn't be happier with our experience with Eddie overall. He made the whole day so smooth and enjoyable! We will definitely be using Eddie for all our photoshoots in the future. XOXO Maggie and Jesse

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!

Krutick Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (28 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Chelsea, NY

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. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!

Matthew Rigby Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (25 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Chelsea, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
We worked with Matthew on our engagement photos and wedding day photos, and we couldn't be happier. He is professional, timely, and made us feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera (something we're not used to at all). He caught really special moments for us and our family — easily the best pictures of our family dancing! We'll be printing pics and sending them to folks along with their thank-you notes. The day was perfect, and looking at our album afterward just made it all the more perfect.

Lisa was absolutley incredible to work with. From our first phone call I knew she was someone I'd be friends with. She is down to earth, funny and obviously knows what she is doing. Lisa communicated clearly with us and set up multiple meetings and phone calls and answered every text I sent in a timely manner. On our wedding day she was simply amazing. She helped me get dressed and probably did my bustle for me at least 5 times. She kept the mood light and fun and worked so efficiently we were able to enjoy our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend her enough. We just got our sneak peeks back and I am obsessed!

We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of Megan and Kenneth’s work. From the engagement shoot through the wedding, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. 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. Our friends and family were floored by how beautiful our photos are. Definitely recommend!

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. ✨

We don't even know where to begin singing Erica's praises. When she says "Client Friend" she really means it. This is exactly how she treated us from our very first Zoom meeting with her. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she was such a source of calm and support all the way through the wedding planning process. When we had to find a new venue due to issues with the first one, Erica was so reassuring that it would all work out and she even offered to send me full galleries of all the venues we were considering. When I forgot to put my engagement ring on before our engagement shoot (!!!!) she encouraged us to go back for it and told us not to worry about the timing. And on our wedding day, the second she saw me start to get stressed during family portraits, she stepped in with the most perfectly timed pep talk. Not to mention, she and Amanda (another Sweet Alice team member) managed to make rain on our wedding day such a special adventure that I wouldn't trade it for sunshine even if I could! Erica is the most kind-hearted and thoughtful human and this shines through in everything she does. From the many little treats and gifts she sent us just-because, to her ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera... My husband and I are both very much not photo people, but ten minutes into our engagement shoot it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. We heard this over and over again from our friends and family at the wedding too. AND THE PICTURES. Some of my favorites are the candids she took when I didn't even know she was shooting. We had such a lovely time re-living our wedding through the album she sent us. We both said that we were glad we didn't end up spending extra money on a videographer because your photos told the whole story of our day so beautifully! I can't emphasize enough how grateful we are that we found Erica- there is no one else we can imagine spending so much of our special day with. I plan to encourage everyone I know to try and book her for their weddings- if only so we can hang out with her again!

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.

I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature. Let’s explore.

It’s almost hard to write this review because we are still genuinely speechless about how incredible Caitlinn and Laurel were. They truly made our day special. Caitlinn delivered the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Looking at them it’s hard to believe it’s us. Caitlinn is one of those people that immediately makes you feel comfortable, and it’s truly an honor to spend such a magical day with her. She is also hilarious and so much fun. She has such a warm, silly, and engaging energy that made posing for pictures easy and truly relaxing. She genuinely cares about making such an important day so special, and works not just for you, but with you. Caitlin’s style makes the pictures feel like you are reliving them as memories. The way the colors pop and the moments are captured brings both of us straight back to our favorite day. Caitlinn brought Laurel with her to help shoot, and they were also incredible to work with. We were nervous to be in front of the camera, and they were so disarming and kind, and guided us seemingly effortlessly from their end. It was so comforting knowing we didn’t have to know how to pose or stand or where to be, and they not only directed well but the pictures are beyond what we could have hoped for. All we can really say is you should run to book Caitlinn for such an important day. And from the bottom of our hearts thank you Caitlinn for being you, we love you!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team! Between Chris’s pristine eye and attention to detail, and Chrissy’s incredible ability to execute their vision and wrangle everyone with ease, they captured our day absolutely flawlessly. They work so amazingly together — their chemistry and teamwork made the whole experience effortless and fun. By the end of the day, they didn’t just feel like our photographers, they felt like family. We’re already obsessed with the preview photos and cannot wait to see the full gallery. Truly the best team out there — we can’t recommend them enough!

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.

Working with Nina was an absolute dream. At our engagement shoot, I told her right away that I’m incredibly awkward in front of the camera and needed direction — and like the pro she is, she immediately made us feel comfortable, confident, and totally ourselves. On the wedding day, when things ran a little behind during the getting-ready chaos, Nina handled everything with such calm professionalism. She seamlessly adjusted the timeline, eased the nerves in the room, and somehow kept the entire day flowing effortlessly. Every photo tells a story — not just of how things looked, but how they felt. She captured the laughter, the happy tears, and all the tiny in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her eye for detail and ability to find magic in the ordinary is unmatched. She went above and beyond — fixing little details, offering gentle direction, and somehow being everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. When we saw our gallery, we were completely floored. The images are timeless, emotional, and truly us. If you’re lucky enough to have Nina capture your day, you’re not just getting stunning photos — you’re getting her art, her heart, and memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

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.

Love, Lucy Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication before, during, and after the wedding was very good, making the entire process painless. Raquel and Bethany, the photographers, took amazing photos throughout the day, capturing all the special moments with a creative and fun flair. They did an incredible job with the pictures, which were ready for us just two weeks after our wedding day. We could not be happier with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day. Highly recommend Love, Lucy Photography!

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.

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.

I have been photographing weddings for 13 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

Look no further than Jordan for your wedding day. I am obsessed with her and her work!! She is not only SUPER talented and got the most incredible shots of our wedding and engagement shoot, but she is also the most chill and funny human who made taking photos completely comfortable and enjoyable. She also handled our huge 20 person wedding party with class and ease. I can’t say enough good things about her. We love you jordy xx thanks for everything
