Brittany was great to work with for my wedding/elopement. She was easy to work with throughout the process - kind, flexible, and professional - and did a great job with the photos. I've been in enough friends' weddings to have experienced a range of photographers and can easily say that Brittany has been the best. My dog also liked her immediately :)

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves De Ruyter, NY

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Nicole for our wedding this past June, and it was one of the best wedding-related decisions we made. Nicole is communicative, easy going, and a joy to be around. She is super thorough and will be sure to get all the shots you want. We had a fairly large group for family photos, and Nicole coordinated everything seamlessly. She really took care of everything so I could just focus on having fun! I would 100% work with Nicole again in the future, and highly recommend working with her for your event. Our experience was so great that my brother and his fiancé will be working with Nicole for their wedding next summer!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I decided to hire a videographer with only 7 months to go until the wedding so we were a little bit stressed & feeling like we didn’t have much time to prepare. Rob with 123 Imaging was so friendly and happy to answer any questions each step of the way so that we felt at ease. We hired 123 Imaging for the Ceremony package only and are so glad we did. We absolutely would have regretted not having that footage. Our dog (our ringbearer) had passed away 2 months after the wedding and although not originally in our video wish list, Rob was happy to search for the footage to make sure the moment with our dog was in the video and not a moment was missed. He was also very good with communicating with us and so kind. Shout out to Amber and Christina who set up the cameras and the drone (and Daniel who ended up photographing our event with our photographer Caitlyn from Moments Captured CNY!). We would hire 123 Imaging again in a heartbeat and I recommend them to any bride & groom looking for a videographer to do the same!

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

There aren’t enough words to describe how excellent our experience was working with Joe, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided to us for our engagement and wedding pictures. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, all while being so patient with us and our wedding party. He captured our entire wedding day from the moment we started getting ready to the time we left our reception. I had an extensive list of “must have” shots and he was able to capture all of them. The quality of the photos exceeded all of my expectations and I couldn’t recommend him more! He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed with his work!

I'm Kelsey, an intimate wedding photographer based in Chittenango, New York, serving couples across Syracuse, Cazenovia, Skaneateles, and the wider Central New York region. My approach is calm, documentary, and rooted in truth. I focus on the quiet in-between moments of a wedding day. I'm not going to pull you away from your people or over-direct your day. I want you to be fully present, and I'll worry about the photos. When the day is over, the images should feel like the truth of how it actually felt.

My husband and I are both so happy we decided to have Kelsey photograph our wedding! We'd easily recommend Honey & Bloom Photography for anyone planning their wedding. The entire process was pleasant and seamless - from the initial consultation call, to booking, payment, and planning phone calls, Kelsey made it easy. She was very kind, thorough, and supportive of moments we wanted to capture and on the big day, made sure we did exactly that. Her delivery of the final photos was prompt and we're so happy with how they came out! Kelsey, thank you so much for being part of our day and giving us precious photo memories to look back on and smile.

  • Serves De Ruyter, NY

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

Chris & Megan take incredible photos and truly capture the beautiful and special moments! We got married in Ithaca at Cornell University and leading up to our wedding day, Chris met with us and spent time getting to know us. He also informed us of things we should consider on our wedding day (such as a first look or where we wanted portraits). On our wedding day. Chris and Megan took amazing photos and did a great job directing our family during the portraits. We received our digital photos a week later and were so thrilled with how they looked! We will recommend The Story Photography to anyone looking for professional photos in the upstate NY area!

Welcome to Emily Woznica Photo. I am a Wedding Photographer based in Syracuse, NY that photographs weddings all over CNY. I am a true to color and natural light photographer. This means your photos are tastefully enhanced and still match the moment. I primarily work with couples and my work ranges from engagements, weddings, family sessions and more. Things that inspire my me are historical architecture, stone, sunsets, and water. I have a calm and laid back personality, but I am genuinely passionate about serving my clients to ensure they receive the quality photos they deserve.

Emily, and her colleague Katie, were absolutely incredible to work with. From day one meeting via Zoom, she made me feel fully at ease and brought that same warm, but organized, energy to the actual wedding day. She got all of the shots we asked for - and then some! Throughout the day, she was gentle but firm in guiding us to stay on track with schedules (my family is notoriously horrible at this) and I'm just so appreciative I had her presence there on my special day. She even climbed through the woods to get some sunset photos of me atop a hill - a ridiculous demand of mine but she did it with a smile. I feel like I made a new friend in her! Thank you again, Emily and Katie, for the amazing captures you took - you did a wonderful job. 11/10, highly recommend!

Welcome! If you are looking for a photography experience that feels more like hanging out with an old friend than a stiff, formal photoshoot, you have come to the right place. We believe in skipping that awkward "I don't know what to do with my hands" phase because no one wants that! Instead, our sessions are built around capturing genuine joy and authentic connection.

Ernst & Co. were a delight to work with for our wedding photography. Her fun, lighthearted approach put us at ease during a stressful time. She has a particular talent for capturing the loving moments between couples in a genuine way. Sam made us laugh constantly with her jokes and antics while shooting, which made us feel comfortable to be ourselves in front of the camera. The end result is a beautiful set of photos documenting our special day that reflect the joy and love we felt. We'd highly recommend Ernst & Co. for couples wanting stunning, artistic photos paired with an stress-free and enjoyable photography experience.

Where to even begin. Erin was amazing right from the start! Communication was so easy and he got back to me within a business day! Come day of and we had some rain, but Erin was so quick to shift gears and use the rain as a supporting actor. Even with the weather, he was still able to get the pictures we requested and ones that are so unique! Erin captured our day PERFECTLY and we could not be any happier! Erin was able to get our pictures back super quickly which is a huge plus and deserves all the bonus points! We also hired a videographer for the day and he worked super well with him! The flash drive was delivered in a personalized wood box with one of our pictures printed on the top. I honestly forgot about that, so it was a lovely surprise!

We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience

We loved working with Cecilia Harvard Photography from start to finish. She responded to our questions quickly, which made the planning process so smooth. On our wedding day, Cecilia was incredibly involved and even danced with us to capture those candid moments we'll treasure forever. She made sure we got every shot we wanted and was genuinely sweet to be around. The sneak peeks of our photos already look absolutely stunning, and we can't wait to see the rest. We'd recommend Cecilia to any couple looking for a photographer who cares about their day as much as you do.

Rivelle Media is a photography and videography company based in New York. Every couple, with their distinctive love story, transforms into a canvas where we paint with the play of light and shadow. It extends beyond the grandeur of photographing pivotal moments like vows, rings, and the first dance; it encompasses the art of capturing nuanced glances, shared laughter, and the silent connection that elevates an ordinary day into an extraordinary celebration of love.

Xenia is the sweetest person to work with. I had an unfortunately timed surgery last year that threw off all our planning and she was very patient with me as we tried to figure out our wedding date and when we could take engagement photos. We are so glad it all worked out because our engagement photos are a dream. Our wedding was a few days ago, and our wedding was shot by Xenia and a videographer we booked with her as well, and the day went so smoothly. No wedding planner or coordinator, but they were there to keep us going and answer questions if we needed help. Highly highly recommend.
