Anj Photographer

Ridgefield, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves East Durham, NY

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

I’ve worked alongside Anj and let me tell you she is so detailed in her work, posing instructions, capturing the details and just making your wedding day special. You can be relaxed and enjoy your day knowing Anj has got it under control. Highly recommended!

Sydney K Andrew Photography

5.0

Saratoga Springs, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Sydney is incredibly talented, professional, and has such a positive attitude. I was the venue's Director of Events and she was a pleasure to work with. Her photos speak for themselves! Would highly recommend to anyone looking for the perfect photos on your perfect day.

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becca was incredible to work with, and the photos she captured were amazing! I'm a big fan of candid photos and capturing all the fun moments, and she was able to get every special shot while also keeping my mom happy with lots of traditional, posed photos. She is friendly, helpful, creative, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Becca to anyone!

Jaci Berkopec Photography

5.0

Saratoga Springs, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci was INCREDIBLE. We found her on Zola and fell in love with her work. From start to finish she was easy to communicate with, understood our vision, and was very personable. We didn't want any pictures that were too posed or awkward, which I knew was going to be hard because I am so awkward in photos, but somehow we look amazing in every single one. We are going to treasure these photos forever and I am so thankful that we chose Jaci to be our photographer.

We used Photo Phrame Photography for our wedding in July of 2020. Tom was fantastic to work with and the custom packages they build with you help fit into many budgets! We had an engagement session as part of our package in the fall of 2019, and while we are often awkward getting photos taken, Tom made us feel at ease and got some much loved shots! We knew then the wedding photos would be great! Friendly, professional and FLEXIBLE with all of the pandemic stuff going on. Tom went above and beyond to make sure our special day still got captured through all the hurdles, and even reached out to help support us!

Schenectady, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

LGBTQ+ Owned. Serving everyone equally. Specializing in queer, off-beat, and non-traditional weddings and families. Kristen and Sheridan are the Capital District's only married LGBTQ+ wedding photography team.

It's hard to put in words how fantastic Kristen is! She is so talented, down to earth and the coolest person you will ever meet! I am also a photographer and I have second shot many times with her and her wife Sheridan! YAY! I love working with both because they are so professional first of all, and also it's so much fun! They have this vibe that creates this fun atmosphere to be around. I so enjoy working with them. Weddings can be stressful, even as a photographer but working with them, I have never been stressed or felt like we needed to rush. They are so easy to work with. Kristen and Sheridan are the best duo photographers there are! I love watching them work along side each other. Both have the greatest attitude and love their job. I also like that they schedule your day perfectly and they get to know you. Every time I work with them I'm amazed how connected they are with their couples. It's amazing to see. They photograph so many weddings, sometimes 3 in a weekend but yet they are connected with each and every couple. I have always looked up to Kristen and it's amazing seeing her grow and seeing all the beautiful work she has done for her couples. If you are looking for a photographer, (being a photographer myself) I recommend Kristen 100x and more if I could!! She will light up a room, ease your day if you are nervous, create beautiful images and just be present with you. :)

For me, photography is not only an art, but an outlet. I have always been creative and there's something fulfilling about capturing beautiful images of days filled with love and emotion. I love capturing everyone's unique love story and being able to freeze moments and give them back to you in photographs.

When we first met her, we had initially planned to go with a different photographer, but her energy, is vibing, and herunderstanding of exactly what we wanted was unmatched, as well as her pricing, and what it included. She helped us through every step of the way and even on our wedding day when we didn’t have a long enough package she was flexible and left the wedding and then came back so that we could get our sunset photos. During our engagement shoot, we were having so much fun with the props that we didn’t end up getting romantic views that we wanted after a few hours and she scheduled another couple hour shoot for us to get the romantic photos that we wanted it by the end of the time working with her I would call her friend and I look forward to working with her in the future .

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. = )

I can’t even describe how amazing Chris is to work with. He has such an amazing and calming presence which is an unbelievable characteristic to have for your photographer on your wedding day. He made photos so fun and listened to everything that we wanted. We got all of our photos back from our wedding and i can’t even pick which ones are my favorite because they are all just so incredible. He captured moments that are so incredibly special to us, seriously didn’t miss a single one. I started sending them to our friends and family and even they were raving about how amazing our photographer was and how “he definitely loved me/us” but seriously it just felt like that for every single person at our wedding. I really just don’t even know how he did it! Chris, you were the second best decision at my wedding-the first one was saying i do.

The pictures he took were absolutely incredible. He has a true knack for photography. If someone ask me for a recommendation, I will always recommend Sean.

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough words to describe Chrysa and her work. Beautiful, easy, timeless, personal, amazing, creative, and fun are just a few on the top of my head. She was our literal saving grace and I am now a true believer things happen for a reason and I couldn’t be more lucky and thankful to have had her on our big day. She is so professional but feels like your best friend and hype girl all day (cue the baby boom box). We couldn’t be happier with how our photos came out and haven’t stopped looking at them… BOOK HER. BOOK HER. BOOK. HER.

  • Serves East Durham, NY

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
After drowning in Zola quotes and estimates, I found Dani online and was immediately drawn to her typeface, website, and company name. She seemed down to earth and photographed all different types of bodies and couples, which was very important to us both. She was quick to jump on a zoom call and we booked her within 20 minutes of talking (and laughing). Dani photographed our wedding (and engagement shoot) in September 2022. While she usually does small elopements, she was so kind as to take on out 125 person wedding – showing up in Vermont for our three day affair (shooting the welcome event, wedding, and Sunday brunch). This girl even jumped on a canoe with my mom to capture our fun Sunday event rafting down the Connecticut River. Dani is extremely professional, organized, and communicative across all platforms (via text, email, and on IG). She had our first round of images from our wedding – I think within 48 hours?!? Dani is dedicated to her craft and just overall an extremely lovely person and was extremely patient with us as I tried to coordinate a wedding from the New Mexican desert while writing a thesis. I feel strongly that she captured everything so beautifully – from the décor, to the venue, to capturing my husband and I in all the emotions – happy tears, calmness, goofyness, sexiness, romanticness – and even obliged my insane request of pulling over and getting some shots in a Victorian Graveyard. Dani is happy to capture whatever you choose to define as romantic, even mossy tombstones in the middle of the woods. Our engagement shots in the city are equally as lovely, despite being a totally different environment. I never once felt self-conscious or aware of myself and just love the love that shines through in each photo. Not only were we so thrilled to have these wonderful photos and memories for the rest of our lives, we are so lucky to also have made a new friend. I received endless compliments on just how lovely the photos were (long exposure images of the milky way with shooting stars – how is that even possible??) and I’m so happy we found Dani and would recommend her to any couple who is looking for photos that are soft, capture the golden hour, and your love. She somehow manages to be timeless without giving you a cookie cutter album of wedding shots. 1000/10 recommend – book Dani to talk about dogs, tattoos, concerts while getting effortlessly beautiful memories of you and your loved ones.

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
We could not have been happier with Nicole. She was always responsive and easy to communicate with. When we had our engagement shoot, she was enjoyable to work with and took incredible photos. From that point we never felt anxious about any aspect of the wedding photos, because we knew we had found the best photographer we could possibly find, and we were totally right! We love our photos so much, and I can't recommend that peace of mind highly enough. She is incredibly talented and efficient, quickly understood what we wanted and managed to give us everything we hoped for without disrupting the big day in any way. Many of our guests have commented on how great the photos were and how amazing it was that our photographer captured them while never getting in the way. Working with Nicole was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

My wife and I were married in June 2022 and we used Eddie as our photographer. He was very professional and absolutely hilarious. We knew we would be pleased with his photos of our wedding as we were taking the pictures just on his idea and vision alone. His work was beautiful and we are so glad we chose him for our wedding day. I would highly recommend him for weddings/engagements shoots or whatever you need to capture life's special moments

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Jess was both a privilege and a pleasure. From the moment we met her via Zoom, we hit it off immediately. Her joy and quirkiness were a perfect match for us, and we knew pretty much immediately that it was going to be a great relationship. We booked her for our engagement photos, and after receiving them, booking her for the wedding was a no-brainer! During our engagment session, Jess was open to making our vision come to fruition, even allowing for outfit changes, and centering our favorite spots while walking around our hometown. When our wedding approached, Jess was in touch frequently, and helped us to set up our time-table for photos, and even suggested some tips for making the day run seamlessly. When the day arrived, Jess was there early and brought a phenomenal second shooter to capture every aspect of the day. Our couple and group photos were taken with lightning efficiency, with Jess at the helm encouraging and motivating people to get pictures done so we could get to the fun parts of the day! From organizing our families and bridal party, to assisting with a wardrobe change mid-reception, Jess made the entire experience fun and completely painless. To top it off, all of our photos came out beautifully and really captured the energy and emotion of our day. Our only regret is not having enough wall space to hang every photo! We recommend- nay, insist - that you book her for your next event. You will not be disappointed.

They make everything look like absolute perfection and capture such stunning moments. They are so creative and do so well at making you feel so comfortable behind the camera. I loved each and every photo they took during our wedding and engagement shoot and I look at our photos often. I feel so lucky and blessed that I had a photography team as amazing as Rayleen and Tim. They are it for me! I will use them again and again in the future for family photos, ect. Thanks Meraki photo for your kindness and unbelievable talent.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I hired Kathryn to photograph our very small wedding in the Adirondack Mountains this past fall. It was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day. Neither of us had been in front of a professional photographer's camera before and are both on the shy side. But that didn't matter because Kathryn instantly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We shared laughs and good conversation as she took our photos which made us both feel like we had known her forever. We wanted photos in a LOT of different locations and Kathryn was so flexible and willing to go to all of our favorite spots to ensure we had what we were looking for. At the end of the day, all of our guests asked where we found Kathryn because they all loved her too. Every single person at our wedding agreed that she was the perfect fit, so easy going, and overall great to have around on such a special occasion. Kathryn even provided us with some "sneak peak" photos which blew us away! She gave us exactly what we were looking for (even if we didn't fully know what we wanted at the time). Lots of candids, funny photos, and sentimental moments that I didn't realize happened that day. I highly, highly recommend Kathryn if you're looking for someone fun with a positive attitude, willing to go the extra mile for her clients, who can provide you with fantastic photos that will blow you away every time you revisit them.

Kimberly is an expert. And we would recommend her to anyone. My partner was a groomsmen in a wedding that Kimberly was the photographer for and he was so impressed by her presence and efficiency (not to mention we both loved her photography) that we immediately reached out when it came to our wedding.  Her ability to capture the best and sweetest moments without feeling like we were surrounded by cameras is truly a super power. We were floored by the incredible images she took. Not only did she manage the schedule based off of the photos we wanted to take, but her talent is evident in the countless pictures we have from our wedding weekend that look back on this special milestone. She captured the essence of our day in ways that felt natural to my partner and me -- and to us, that's the mark of an expert photographer.  Kimberly also balances this ability to wield a calm and warm energy while commanding a large room of people to get a photo together -- which is not easy. Her energy and grace is exactly what you need on a stressful day filled with places to be and schedules to follow. She was truly our favorite person to work with leading up to and during the weekend. Easy, efficient, communicative and most importantly kind.  Photos are important to look back on the day you've spent so much time preparing for and we would put our faith in Kimberly all over again for future events and endless recommendations to other couples. We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures she took of us.

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

As the mother of the bride, having the right person for the right job is essential for the perfect wedding. I can say hands-down we chose the perfect photographer in Lauren K Downing she was professional, organized and made sure every photo was timed exactly right to not take away from the rest of the wedding festivities and guests. The details that Lauren captured were way beyond our expectations. Lauren Downing would definitely be someone I would recommend to do any professional photography

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding. Celia is absolutely fantastic. She is so accommodating and flexible. She worked with us on pricing and exactly what we wanted for our photos. Her work is unique and classy and so beautiful. For two people who don’t like to have their picture taken, we had an absolute blast with her! We had a weather issue (think tropical storm) and Celia made the effort to come back for our beach photos when the weather was more ideal. I would hire her again in a second.

From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

“Where do I start - Erica is amazing. From my first FaceTime call with her, I knew I had to have Erica as a part of our wedding day one way or another. After my call, my husband was like, Wow, you sound like you are friends already – and it was true! Instant connection! We wanted our wedding to be full of good vibes, great people, and positivity, and we knew Erica would make it even more special. Erica is a professional at what she does, but not only that, she is one of the most amazing, kind, caring, loving, thoughtful people I have ever met. She is one of those people that has so much passion in everything she does, and spreads positivity and love wherever she goes. Erica was so responsive, organized, and fun to work with throughout the whole process, and I am so thankful we had her. She felt like a close friend that i have known forever. Erica is one special person and really excels in her craft.

When my husband and I first met Erica at our engagement shoot, we were like, Wow, this girl is so cool! She made taking pictures so easy (which can be awkward), and the pictures were flawless. She really captured who we are as a couple. After the engagement shoot, we couldn’t be more excited for having her for our wedding day. Erica also came to the walkthrough meeting at our venue, and she really helped us envision the day, giving us visuals of where the best photos would be, and helping pan out our timeline. And she brought my whole family coffee - how cool and thoughtful is she?! Right before the wedding, she also sent us a Starbucks gift card to enjoy a small coffee break together - so amazing. It’s the little things in life that matter the most, and Erica captures that essence to a tee.

On our wedding day, Erica and her second photographer were so fun and caring to work with. She found the most amazing locations to take pictures at our venue, and I may be biased, but I think we had the best wedding photos ever! Erica really caters to you and what you want, which is what your wedding day should be all about. She made everyone in our family so comfortable with taking pictures and captured such special moments that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Our family and friends continue to compliment how nice Erica and her second photographer were, and after seeing the pictures, everyone was in awe at how amazing everything came out. I couldn’t be more thankful and blessed for my wedding day, and having Erica as a part of that made it better. Do not question booking Erica – you will be thankful you did!!!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

I absolutely LOVE working with Christian! We first met both Christian and Emilio beforehand after scouting them from the internet & IG while looking for a photography and videography package. From their work and their website altogether, I knew they were the kinds of creative personalities we would want to help us capture our special day as well as the aesthetic we were looking for. The packaged we booked included an engagement shoot where we first got to work with Christian really get to know his fun personality and he got to learn about the kind of photography. Although we originally booked both of them for our wedding in October, there was a scheduling conflict with another couple. Christian was super professional in communicating that to us and getting the additional coverage for our day at the same quality. The turnaround time for the preview, full gallery, and teaser video were exactly as promised- faster than we expected! Christian has been extremely communicative from planning our first meet up last January 2019, to the days leading up to our wedding, through to the editing of the final products. Highly highly highly recommend them and would refer them in a heartbeat!!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

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 to using 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.

Nina was a pleasure to work with. We hired her to photograph our wedding in upstate NY and the whole experience was such a pleasure. We are both pretty shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera, and our wedding was as casual as they come, and Nina fit right into that. I feel like I found a best kept photographer secret and am so grateful we chose her!

Coral was amazing to work with! We had the pleasure of getting to know her when we booked her last-minute to take some photos of my good friends' small backyard ceremony in 2018. When my husband and I later got engaged, we knew we had to book Coral to capture our own planned festivities for June 2020. When 2020 rolled around and it became apparent that we had to scrap most of our original plans, we couldn't have asked for a better partner than Coral. Her flexibility and encouragement during what was a crazy time for everyone kept us sane. We unfortunately nixed all of our other vendors with the changes we made, but kept Coral because we knew we wanted her there to capture whatever our day turned out to be. Coral captured beautiful photos of our two(!) wedding/reception dates and we are so glad to have those treasured photos. She's incredibly easy to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable, especially as my family and I don't get in front of the camera very often. We can't recommend Coral enough!

I initially had first hand experience with Jamaal's work while being in a good friend's wedding last year. A this wedding Jamaal was great. He paid attention to detail, was prompt and on time, didn't need to be told to capture certain moments, etc. When it came time for my big day, I knew I had the perfect person in mind. My wife and I decided to go the conservative route and have a small wedding w/ reception dinner at a restaurant. However, based on our wedding photo sneak peaks that Jamaal provided after; you would think it was a bigger wedding that what it actually was! Which is exactly what we wanted. He captured every moment perfect. My wife and I are happy to have worked with J. and hope to use him in the future for whatever occasion we have coming up next! Thank you again J!

Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

There is a dusty old photo album that I’ve looked at hundreds of times. It is from my parents’ wedding more than 40 years ago. It shows me a little piece of my history every time I look at those images. When I lost my father, I realized his memory lives on in those images for me. It’s like this perfect window into the past that I want to give each and every one of my wedding clients.

I cannot say enough good things about Monika. Not only is she the most talented photographer and so easy and fun to work with, but she’s truly the most amazing person. Monika photographed our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding and did the most incredible job! The first time my husband and I met with Monika we instantly felt like we had known her forever. We are a bit camera shy and always feel so awkward taking pictures, but everytime we worked with Monika she made us feel so comfortable. Everything felt so natural and fun and it really reflected well in our photos! Monika is such a professional - she did multiple site visits with us at our wedding venue so that she was familiar with all the best places for pictures and where the light was at different times of the day. During the planning process, we worked with her to come up with a detailed shot list of all the photos we wanted her to capture during our wedding weekend, and she was so diligent at capturing all the photos on our list without it feeling like we were just ticking the box. Monika was also such a wonderful presence on our wedding day. I was so nervous and emotional and was honestly so happy that she was by my side all day. She was such a comforting presence - it didn’t feel like she was just there to take pictures, she was there supporting and guiding me! My family and our wedding party loved her and was so impressed. She also worked so seamlessly with my videographer that you would have never guessed that they hadn’t worked together before! I could go on and on, but you don’t need to take my word for it - just look at some of the stunning photos she took at my wedding! I am obsessed!

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

We were so happy with Jose and Carlos. They were organized, prompt, flexible, and of course fantastic artists. Out pictures are fantastic and perfectly in line with our style preferences. Jose directed us with ease and skill making the photo sessions fun and producing great shots. Also, I have to mention how Jose was super helpful on the wedding day. He even noticed that our wedding had gone MIA and that time was running late so he set up our cake cutting for us.

They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time.

Keith shot our wedding in early November and we could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned out! He was awesome through every step of the process - communicative, helpful, thoughtful. We were nervous about photos since neither of us loves having our photo taken. Keith was great in making us less nervous and not forcing us into any photos that felt strange. Most importantly, he truly captured the emotions we felt that day and the joy we felt in the room during our ceremony and reception. Our guests cannot stop commenting on how great the photos came out. Highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity - you won't be disappointed!

When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

I have worked with Rick on several occasions in the last 3 years. He has done a beautiful job of capturing my floral design work. I highly recommend working with Rick!

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! My partner and I wanted more non-traditional portraiture for both our engagement photos and wedding and Caitlin just immediately understood the vibe we wanted. She's great at getting to know her clients and making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Similarly, she just melts into the background during the wedding and captures everything you wanted and more, all without being front and center. You won't regret hiring her and I'd say book her while you still can, because she's only set to blow up more :)

I’m Claudia, a full-time photographer based in Long Island, NY. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, belting to Mariah Carey in my car, or curled up on the couch with my boyfriend Gabe. I’m gonna shut up about me, because this moment is about YOU. You are the guests of honor here, and I want you to set the pace of your own shoot. I am all for breaking tradition -- if you want to jump in a creek or tackle your partner into the ground, do it.

Claudia and her team are simply amazing and I have no words!!!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

As a wedding florist, I've had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented and gifted photographers throughout the years and certainly have my favorites. Alex from White Poppy weddings is for sure one of them. She is kind, genuine, very easy to work with and I LOVE that she has an eye for not only only capturing the tender and important moments, but the beautiful details that tell the story of the day. I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!! I could not recommend this sweet, talented gal enough.

  • Serves East Durham, NY

Our passion for visual storytelling and photography began over 20 years ago when we started capturing incredible stories, weddings and life’s most important events behind our lens in a little town in Abruzzo Italy, and later on we expanded onto South Florida’s warm beaches and New York's charm. As a worldwide family owned brand that started as a husband and wife team, our DNA is down to earth, creative and artsy. We are outgoing and full of creativity. No two weddings (like no two paintings) will ever be the same. Our approach: candid, photojournalistic, natural. We are here to capture the creatives in love. The real, the authentic you.

Run, don’t walk! Do yourself a favor and book a session with Acromatico - you won’t regret it! During our Covid wedding we felt safe working with them as they were professional, flexible and understanding. Acromatico brought our vision to life. Marietta ( Tica ) was a dream to work with, energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo turned out to be. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. Would definitely recommend and use for future events!
