Hi, I’m Sarah (she/they), a wedding photographer based in the Adirondacks of New York. I photograph weddings with care, intention, and a deep respect for the moments that matter most for couples of all identities and love stories.

Hawthorn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Sarah and Drew were so easy to talk to and we felt like we connected with them very quickly. They are very professional but do not make you feel pressured at all - Sarah has great ideas and really hypes you up throughout the process. Drew always found creative ways to shoot the day and Sarah was there for me every step of the way, even when I needed quick help with my dress. Sarah is so dependable and the pictures they captured showcase both of their talents and our love so well. I'd pick Hawthorn Photography for photos for every occasion and in every lifetime!

Thomas and his team were wonderful for our wedding in December! Right from the start he was super helpful to give us all the information and didn't sugar coat anything. I will say I was a little suspicious at first when he said "I can do any style you want" I know some photographers only stick to certain styles. And with our wedding being in Sturbridge MA I was expecting a travel fee. But he wanted us to make sure that he was a professional, he keeps things fair all across the board. Thomas is also super quick when it comes to messaging! If I had any questions he would respond rather quickly. He surpassed my expectations with how accommodating him and his team were when working with us, even changing our minds about packages and addon's only a couple weeks out. On the actually day of the wedding, Thomas and his team were truly our hype men! Even when I was getting ready with my bridesmaids he was in on all of our jokes and making us laugh. While I was getting ready, I heard that the groomsmen and my husband were having the best time getting all the group photos of them. I can not recommend this team enough!

Hire Jason as your wedding photographer—it will be the best and easiest decision you make. I first met Jason in 2021 at my best friend’s engagement shoot and was immediately impressed by his creativity, calm energy, and genuine personality. A year later, at her wedding, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend. When I got engaged in 2023, there was no question—Jason had to be my photographer. He was the first vendor I contacted, and we even chose our date based on his availability. Jason made every step of the process fun and meaningful. For our engagement shoot, he spent the entire day with us, bringing us to a brewery and Crown Point State Historic Site (his amazing recommendation). Not only did we get beautiful photos, but it was a genuinely fun day! On our wedding weekend, Jason photographed both our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. He wasn’t just our photographer—he was “our friend Jason,” capturing every special moment with care and creativity. On such a busy, whirlwind day, that brought a sense of comfort and made the whole experience even more special. Our photos are stunning, timeless, and everything we hoped for. Jason pours his heart into his work, and it truly shows. Having him as part of our wedding was a joy, and we’ll treasure the memories he preserved forever. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Photography for people who dread being photographed. With 15+ years specializing in camera-shy couples, I've learned that your wedding is not a generic fantasy from the interne, it's a legacy. The industry pushes couples to perform for the camera, but when you already feel awkward being photographed, that pressure can erase the real, unscripted story of your people. My approach is built for humans who hate being photographed. I create an experience that melts stiffness and anxiety so the raw, honest truth of your connection shows up and the story of everyone who matters is protected.

Brandon was recommended to us by one of our friends, he had just shot their wedding the prior year. Brandon was absolutely amazing! He was quick to get back to us, answered all of my questions and even worked with us to be able to meet our budget. We first met with him and had an engagement shoot in Saratoga, NY. Our pictures came out absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t wait for him to capture our big day. On the day of our wedding, Brandon arrived and began taking shots of everything we had on our list and was super communicative and an amazing listener.

I'll be your personal cheerleader and the third wheel you never knew you needed! You can bet I'll be saying "PERFECT" more times than you can count. And honestly, I might even add an extra dramatic gasp or two. Get ready for a fun, stress free experience filled with laughs, high fives, and lots of "PERFECT" moments that will have you smiling for years to come.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Nichole and how perfect she is. Not only is she phenomenal at her job- providing outstanding and breathtaking pictures- but she is a phenomenal PERSON. We had Nichole for our engagement pictures which turned out beautifully, so we had the bar set high and she somehow exceeded those expectations!! She ensured things were moving seamlessly at my wedding (outside of her job scope and did that multiple times without prompting because she’s just a team player) and ensured I was hydrated, fed, and that my bridezilla wasn’t coming out (and it didn’t because of her). She went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were having a great time on our day and, honestly, just looked out for us because she genuinely cares. She also took such good care of my son, my beagle. Also, my husband and I can sometimes get awkward when pictures are being taken of us, but Nichole is so warm and personable that we relaxed right away, and it almost felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend. Those pictures, both from our engagement session and our wedding, came out beautifully. We recently received sneak peeks and they knocked us off our feet. We cannot wait to see more! We will be using her in the future without question for all of our special events. Do not hesitate- book Nichole. She IS the best out there.

We got married in November of 2025 and after picking a venue, we knew our next biggest task was to chose our wedding photographer. For us as a couple photography/videography was going to be the most important vendor for this day. After our first meeting with Jordan, we both felt comfortable and a connection with him. He reviewed his work with us and we knew we wanted to work with him. During this whole process Jordan was professional and so easy to get along with. He responded to emails in a timely fashion and was always willing to jump on a zoom call if we had any questions or wanted to touch base. He was understanding, kind, and on board with all our needs. He was able to capture all our "must have" photos, as well as some great candid ones. His photography style is true color and we loved his composition on his photos. Everyone at our wedding even came up and told us throughout the day how impressed they were with our photography team. Our parents loved the team so much and keep complementing them and the photos still to this day. We cannot expressed enough how much pictures mean to us. We look at the collection Jordan has sent over and are instantly brought back to the day. Jordan captured the energy, the special moments, and the spirit. All of our hard work and love shined through in every picture. We are so happy to have trusted Jordan and his team to be the ones to capture them. We cannot recommend him enough. We sincerely appreciate everything he has done for us during our wedding planning, during our wedding, and all the communication and working with us after the wedding. Out of all your wedding vendors your photographer is the one you work with the most and I would work with Jordan again in a heartbeat.

I turned a passion into a business back in 2013 with the goal of being able to continue working, and stay home with my children as much as possible. (My husband’s idea actually, not mine *thanks babe.) We have two hooligan’s now that keep us quite busy and always on our toes. We’ve built our family here in the North Country and love it! The kids specifically love the cows behind our back yard.

Chelsea is one of my favorite vendors to work with. With my job being very difficult as a wedding planner, she does a wonderful job doing her own job without me having to stay on her. She always considers my thoughts and feelings before making any big decisions on a wedding day. She's always professional and puts the bride and grooms wants first. I look forward to the next event I get to work with Chelsea on :)

Richard is the VIBE! I can't give enough stars! From the unexpectedly windy engagement shoot, to the magic of the 1st look, to the moody magazine worthy portraits, to capturing the best moments all night..he adapted and integrated himself into our day and our family with ease. He blended into the background and truly felt like he was part of the party! Richard is a true professional! He comes off super relaxed and casually says he "has some ideas" and then he turns on the magic. He plays with the lighting and the surroundings and the weather and adapts any moment and any backdrop into a canvas for his art. I really could go on for paragraphs over how spectacular he was to work with, and it brings tears to my eyes to write this after I relive our wedding day in each and every photograph he took that day.

They captured our wedding day perfectly, and we’ll treasure these photos forever. Thank you both for making our day even more magical! #317Photography #DreamTeam #BestPhotographers

Thalia is a wedding photographer based in NYC and available worldwide. Inspired by art, music, and the quiet moments in between, she brings a calm, intentional approach to the way she documents weddings. With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Thalia is truly a dream - to work with, to communicate with & to be with. Her work speaks for itself - I’ve never seen someone capture events the way she does. It’s like reliving the day. She is simultaneously incredibly helpful and present and yet you barely notice she’s there until you review the photos and are like wow she even got that small moment! As someone who has never loved posed photos / being in wedding photos I have to say Thalia completely changed my tune. She is truly a joy to work with an artist beyond comprehension. I cannot wait for another excuse to hire her again.
