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!

Gallery 9 is absolutely amazing! They gave us so many amazing pictures and the sweetest keepsake box. During our wedding day they were so attentive and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted and then some! The turn around time getting our pictures back was crazy fast, especially considering how swamped they were the week of my wedding. On top of it all, they were so kind and a TON of fun to work with!

My husband Sean and I got married at the Blue Water Manor in June 2024. We are from northern NJ and took a chance on each of our vendors through their portfolios and online reviews. Jason went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from our photographer. Since we were from out of the area we had multiple phone calls to discuss timelines and specifics really helping us think of everything. Even met with us the week of to walk through the venue and other places we wanted to take photos, just rolling with it and helping us get exactly what we wanted. Nothing could have prepared us for the crappy weather we had the day of the wedding but Jason put a smile on with us and braved it. Never complained about how soaked he probably got and just did everything possible to help us have the best day. And we did. Every single one of our guests commented on lucky we were to have a photographer like him watching him in action and our photos speak to that. Even though our wedding day has come and gone we would still book Jason time and time again.

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.

My husband and I cannot recommend Brandon Segal and his team enough! From our engagement photos to our wedding day, they exceeded every expectation. They captured every special moment and memory so beautifully, and the quality of their work is truly incredible. We were blown away not only by their talent, but by their professionalism, responsiveness, attention to detail, and genuine passion for what they do. From the very beginning, communication was seamless, and on our wedding day everything flowed so smoothly. They kept us on track, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and somehow managed to capture every important moment without ever feeling intrusive. His team, including the additional photographer and videographer, worked together effortlessly and helped document our day from every angle. One of our favorite things about working with him is his passion for sunset photography. You can tell how much he loves creating those magical golden-hour shots, and the photos he captured during sunset are some of our absolute favorites. His creativity and eye for detail truly shine through in every image. We were also incredibly impressed by how quickly our photos were delivered. Being able to relive our wedding day so soon after it happened was such a gift. Beyond his beautiful work, he is highly interactive on social media and genuinely invested in his clients, which makes the entire experience even more special. Choosing him was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. These are memories we will cherish for a lifetime, and we cannot thank him and his team enough for preserving them so perfectly. We will forever recommend him to anyone looking for an exceptional photographer and videography team.

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.

Jordan photographed our wedding in Lake Placid and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He is skilled, knowledgeable, a true Adirondack gem! We first contacted Jordan after seeing his work on Instagram. The quality and style of his images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. He has an incredible creative eye! After a video meeting with him, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. Every communication reminded me that he cared and listened! With so many details that one has to remember at a wedding, some details can easily be missed, BUT not Jordan! On our wedding day, he was able to deliver everything we asked for and was executed beautifully and with ease! Our photos are beyond beautiful! The final photos are pure magic! Full of candid shots but also modern and timeless! But what truly impressed us was the incredibly fast turnaround. We had our sneak peek within a day and our full gallery in less than 2 weeks! We can't thank Jordan enough! He is a true professional and amazing at what he does! BOOK him and you will never regret it! Our family is already looking forward to going back to Lake Placid and having a family session with him sometime in the near future!

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 :)

Daniela Monzi is a wedding and elopement photographer based in Philadelphia and San Francisco, available worldwide. Blending film and digital formats, she captures each celebration with intention and heart. Deeply passionate about couples celebrating their love their way, Daniela advocates for wedding days that feel true to who you are—filled with what brings you joy, and free of anything that doesn’t. She honed her craft at the San Francisco Art Institute, where she developed a distinctive style that merges fine-art composition with a candid, documentary approach. The result? Honest, artful imagery that tells your story exactly as it felt.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Dani was an absolute dream! My husband and I got married in an intimate ceremony with just our immediate families on a lake, so feeling relaxed, fully present, and intentional was important to us. Dani helped us manifest this every step of the way, from helping us plan a loose timeline when we had no idea what we were doing to capturing our love and joy on our wedding day while keeping everything feeling laid back and intimate. I’ve worked with wedding photographers who make you feel like you’re in a wedding factory, rushing you through the same routine and poses that everyone else has. That’s not Dani. Dani is a true master of her craft and the photos she created are absolutely incredible - she really rolled with the vibe of the day and captured the feelings, intimacy, and love in a way that brings us back to the moment every time we look at our photos. We now have a stunning gallery of digital, film, and drone shots that we will cherish forever! (Even though it was soooo hot and humid, she carried all her cameras all day!) If you want a photographer who will actually get to know you, listen to your vision, and give you professional, personal, curated photographs while making sure your actual experience on your wedding day is present and intentional, Dani is your girl, hands down.

When we started our company we promised that we would always charge what we could of afforded when we got married. We feel as though so many couples are being taken advantage of by other companies.

Jeremy and Jennifer were amazing! Jennifer answered any questions that I had very quickly! I loved how they did all bridal party pictures before the ceremony so we could also enjoy cocktail hour! Jennifer helped fix a few of my bridesmaid dresses! She went above and beyond. I cannot recommend this amazing couple enough! They had us laughing as we did pictures which I think got so great shots as well!

We cannot say enough amazing things about Thalia. From the very beginning, she was professional, kind, and so easy to work with. On our wedding day, she made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment so beautifully and naturally. Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to capture genuine emotion is truly incredible. Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. She didn’t just take pictures, she created photos we will cherish forever and told our love story perfectly. If you are looking for a photographer who pours her heart into her work and truly cares about her clients, Thalia is the one. We are beyond grateful and would recommend her to everyone!
