Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together.

This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

“We can't say enough good things about Erin at Gallery Nine North. He was professional throughout, interacting well with other vendors and during the reception, he was almost like a fly on the wall in terms of just blending in. He arrived at the venue a couple hours early in order to scout photo opportunities. He was extremely communicative throughout the process, responding promptly and checking in periodically leading up to the wedding in order to finalize details and timelines. He was very easy to be around, was very kind (and funny) and made us feel comfortable- our families also thought highly of him. He delivered our final gallery to us within 15 days of the wedding and I would add that his pricing was very reasonable. We are extremely grateful for the photos he captured, they turned out beautifully. I will also add that he only had about 20-30 minutes of no rain, and in that short time, he was able to get a lot of amazing shots. Thanks Erin! We are so thankful you were part of our day.”

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

“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.”

Hi, I’m Makenzie! I’m the photographer behind Makenzie Leigh Photography, and I recently relocated from Alaska to Northern New York. With a BFA in Photography and roots in the fine arts, my work is nostalgic, film-inspired, whimsical and full of feeling. I’m especially drawn to intimate and unconventional weddings that prioritize connection and feel true to the people at the center of them. My approach is rooted in honest storytelling, the beautifully imperfect moments in between, and creating photographs that feel like your memories rather than someone else’s Pinterest board.

“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.”

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.”

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.

“From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!”

In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

“Michael and Kamil were fantastic, and Linera was truly the best! From our first phone call to the big day, she was so organized, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease. I’m so grateful to have had her by my side capturing every special moment. Emma was amazing to work with! She is so kind, responsive, and detail-oriented. Thank you, Emma, for every call, for creating such a thoughtful timeline, and for putting together the most incredible team. You all made our day feel effortless and unforgettable!”

“From our first meeting with Anchor Studios Photography, we knew we had found the right fit for our wedding day. The team showed up early, stayed focused, and captured every moment that mattered to us—from the quiet details to the big celebrations. Their photos are stunning and really show the love and joy we felt throughout the day. We loved working with them before the wedding and felt totally comfortable having them around on the big day. The images exceeded what we expected, and we've already shared them with everyone we know. Anchor Studios is worth every penny, and we'd recommend them without hesitation.”

“We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Ihor from Timankov Photography. Ihor made everything effortless by guiding us through poses and was very responsive to our requests through the evening. His eye for detail really shines through in the photos, he managed to catch genuine moments between us and our guests while also photographing the beautiful scenery around us. He was also able to capture stunning wide angle shots that showed off our venue. The final images look natural and breathtaking, exactly what we hoped for. We'd highly recommend Timankov Photography to any couple looking for a talented photographer who genuinely cares about making your day special.”
