Changing the game in the wedding industry, Enchanted Celebrations aims to successfully redefine the paradigm of personalization and compassion in each wedding. Whether we are capturing your love story behind a lens or mixing your perfect wedding day soundtrack, Enchanted Celebrations has the experts to create the wedding day vibes you’ve always dreamed of.

“Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!”

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can. Woman/LGBTQIA+ Owned

“We were so blessed with fantastic vendors on our day, but Mary truly helped us bring the whole thing together. From the moment we chatted on the phone, we knew we were in great hands!! With her quote, she sent over a proposed timeline for the day and recommendations of timing / number of photographers-- we used this to quite literally plan our whole day timeline around, and we were never running low on time; everything felt according to plan and never rushed. (Family photos were SO smooth!) Her level of detail is so special, and we loved the photos captured of all the hard work we put in on the decorations, venue, etc. as well as the organic human moments filled with emotion, silliness and beyond! She makes you feel so comfortable and ease immediately, which helped bring out the sweetness and silliness in our couples photos. We also got the BEST reception photos and loved how much happened on the dance floor or at cocktail hour that we didn't even see happen (because, you know, you're a bit busy seeing everyone)! Could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're so happy we had her for our day.”

My clients describe me as caring, passionate about my work, and trustworthy. I am honored to feel like an extended member of the family when I'm photographing weddings! When I’m not working with amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

“We love Debbie! Debbie has been such a pleasure to work with through our wedding process. Since our first meeting with her, Debbie made us feel super comfortable and at home, feeling more like a family friend more than just our photographer. She has a great knack for getting the best shots and captures authentic feeling in her photos. She was so good at helping us relax in our photos (which was great for me as a notorious camera-shy guy). Debbie will be our first call for any professional photography in the future and we 110% recommend her!”

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.

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.

“Jess was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the moment we first spoke with Jess, we felt heard, supported and cared for. Through the whole experience Jess was personal, caring and attentive - she truly wanted to understand our vision and make sure our day was exactly as we envisioned. The quality of Jess’s work is unmatched; her photos are personal, thoughtful and capture all the little moments that made our day so special. Jess was there for us all day, ensuring she was able to perfectly document our wedding.

Authentic wedding photography for intentional couples in the Hudson Valley. Based in Garrison, NY I specialize in documenting candid moments while blending natural light with artistic off camera flash techniques, which I use to highlight both the natural setting of a wedding and special moments between you and your loved ones. From scenic venues to intimate ceremonies, I document emotion-driven wedding stories and real connections with care and empathy. My calm, grounded presence helps you feel at ease in front of the camera. I guide you through the planning and deliver timeless photos that bring you back to how your day felt for decades.

“Working with Matt was an incredible experience. From the moment we found his website, we were immediately drawn to his style. About a month before the wedding, he took the time to go over every family and bridal party photo combination we wanted, creating a detailed, organized list. He also asked about any special moments or details we wanted captured, ensuring nothing was missed. On the wedding day, Matt was exceptionally organized and efficient. The whole process felt seamless, which meant we spent less time posing for group photos and more time enjoying our day. He captured everything we asked for—and more. When we received the photos, we were absolutely blown away by the quality and quantity. Every special moment we could have imagined was captured beautifully. Matt’s eye for composition, his artistic style, and the way he brings out colors in his photos really showcase his talent. If you're looking for an incredible photographer, we highly recommend booking him as soon as possible!”

Based in the Hudson Valley, I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography with timeless, true-to-color imagery. My goal is to capture your day naturally as it unfolds, the laughter, happy tears, and quiet in-between moments that often mean the most. I focus on creating a relaxed experience so couples feel comfortable and present while I document their story with care, creativity, and heart. Your wedding photographs should feel authentic, emotional, and timeless memories you will cherish for generations!

“I mean this when I say it—book her!!!!! I rarely ever leave reviews, only when it truly matters. I have never in my life had someone care so deeply about my photos, especially such important ones for my wedding. I’m still in shock at how incredible she was. I originally had a completely different photographer booked and only hired her for our engagement session. My husband and I instantly fell in love with her, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about capturing us. I actually canceled my original photographer before even seeing the engagement photos, because I just knew. And of course, the engagement photos were AMAZING. The wedding photos? Even better. I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. Our photos are beyond beautiful, there are no words to describe how grateful we are.”

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!”

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!!”

“Working with Caitlinn for our wedding was an AMAZING experience. We couldn’t be happier with our photos! I told her from the get go that my fiancé (now husband!) and I never take good photos, but she assured me that our photos would look natural and not overly posed, which is what we wanted. Caitlinn responded promptly to every email and worked with us to create an efficient timeline for our very large family and bridal party. We had four small children in our bridal party and Caitlinn handled them like an expert and got some amazing shots of all of them! She is incredibly organized and best of all, we received a “sneak preview” of our photo gallery one or two days after the wedding, and the entire photo gallery within a week of the wedding! And the pictures, OMG are they beautiful. The hardest part is choosing which photos to put in our album - they are all that good! (But we get to keep the full digital photo gallery which is being displayed on a digital frame). I particularly appreciated how “unobtrusive” her style is - especially during the very emotional moments like our first look - we didn’t “feel” like we were being photographed so we were able to enjoy the moment and act naturally. She captured all of the big moments and the small details too and her artistic eye created beautiful shots of everything from getting ready all the way to the cake cutting and everything in between. Caitlinn is also an incredibly lovely person - her energy carries through in everything she does, and we felt so comfortable from her right from the get go. Truly I can’t say enough about this wonderful photographer and person - she created beautiful memories for us that we will cherish forever.”

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.

“WE LOVE LISA. She is SO talented, gave us some of the most stunning photos ever, and made us feel completely at ease and like we made a new forever friend!! She truly exceeded our expectations, and we are so grateful to have had her as a part of our team. She is an absolute gem in the midst of a sea of options, caring and connective, communicative, affordable, strong point of view in her work, and just lovely to be around. We cannot recommend her enough!”

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.

“Bethany and Raquel were absolutely lovely. Very professional while still being fun. We loved our photos from our engagement and our wedding day. Plus we got our photos back in only a few weeks!”

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.”

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!”

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!

“After working with dozens of photographers, Jordan is hands down the most experienced, professional, and talented. In addition to working with her, she has also photographed for us personally so we have had first hand experience of how awesome she is!”
