  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Hamden, NY

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

If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond, you need to hire Kathryn! This woman did literally anything and everything to get the perfect shot. From crouching in the foliage to climbing on hotel chairs, she let nothing stop her - not even a wardrobe malfunction! Neither of us usually feels comfortable having our photo taken, but Kathryn was so comforting and made us feel genuinely at ease. She turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a remarkably enjoyable process. Her eye for photography is beautifully creative. Not only did she bring props to enhance our pictures, but she was also completely down for any and all ideas we had! She also brought along a second photographer, Tara, who matched the lively, stress-free vibe seamlessly. We have only received our preview photos so far, but we are already completely blown away. We felt so honored to be chosen as one of her few clients for the year, and we cannot wait for the final gallery! Kathryn is a wonderful human being and a terrific photographer. We cannot recommend her skills highly enough!

Christopher Duggan Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Hamden, NY

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. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Christopher Duggan Photography was exceptional in capturing our wedding day. His communication style was clear, easy, and warm throughout the entire process. The quality of the work and value was truly exceptional - Christopher and his team are incredibly talented photographers who have a knack for capturing real, artsy details and candid moments that showcase the uniqueness and beauty of our special day. As someone who is often less than thrilled to be in photos, I adore every single shot they took. Christopher and Danica were so embedded in our every moment, yet you had no idea they were there - that is true talent! We all felt completely at ease, and they helped us knock out family photos smoothly without any stress from upset flower girls or ring bearers. I wanted a not overly posed style but almost "lifestyle" and Christopher fit the bill perfectly. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

I first met Megan and Kenneth through working an event that they photographed where I work. I knew instantly that I wanted to work with them for my wedding as it just felt so warm and relaxing to be in their presence. My husband and I wanted to feel like ourselves and have fun with the photos and that is exactly what they delivered. I was never stressed about the photos or the video because I knew Megan and Kenneth had it completely covered. They were extremely responsive over email and zoom calls in the months before the wedding and would answer all questions promptly. They even provided extremely helpful suggestions and built the photography timeline for the wedding so it never felt like we were running behind or losing time. Overall I cannot recommend Megan and Kenneth enough! It was an absolutely wonderful experience and we definitely will work with them again for whatever photo needs we have down the line.

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matthew was truly beyond incredible. Words can hardly do him justice. From the moment he arrived, his calm, kind, and grounding energy set the tone for the entire evening. Beyond his amazing presence, his work speaks for itself. The photos left us absolutely speechless. Every image looked like it belonged in a magazine, yet still felt so personal and full of heart. He captured the perfect balance of candid moments and thoughtful details, each shot filled with genuine emotion and artistry. You can feel the love and care he pours into his work. Matthew is such a rare soul, unbelievably talented, but also deeply good-hearted. We’ll cherish these photos forever and will always be so grateful that he was the one who captured our day. He’s not just highly recommended, he’s a must-hire for your wedding or any event where you want stunning, heartfelt photos that truly tell your story.

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.

I can not articulate how happy I am to have found Jess to capture our wedding. She was extremely professional throughout the process and yet somehow now I feel like we are best friends?! She made the planning process seamless and we were happy to have gotten to know her during our engagement shoot. Then at the wedding - she was ON! She kept our families in line AND ON TIME, which is not a small task. She even helped coordinate a surprise with my husband that left me speechless! Our wedding was all about the details and she absolutely captured that. AND THE PHOTOS! Aside from being a wonderful person to spend the day with, Jess is a true artist! The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and my husband and I feel SO LUCKY that we get to cherish them forever.

Based in the Hudson Valley, I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography with timeless, true-to-color imagery. My goal is to capture your day naturally as it unfolds, the laughter, happy tears, and quiet in-between moments that often mean the most.

Your wedding photographs should feel authentic, emotional, and timeless memories you will cherish for generations!

I mean this when I say it—book her!!!!! I rarely ever leave reviews, only when it truly matters. I have never in my life had someone care so deeply about my photos, especially such important ones for my wedding. I’m still in shock at how incredible she was. I originally had a completely different photographer booked and only hired her for our engagement session. My husband and I instantly fell in love with her, she made us feel so comfortable and genuinely cared about capturing us. I actually canceled my original photographer before even seeing the engagement photos, because I just knew. And of course, the engagement photos were AMAZING. The wedding photos? Even better. I truly cannot speak highly enough of her. Our photos are beyond beautiful, there are no words to describe how grateful we are.

My approach is rooted in a documentary style that focuses on capturing genuine, unscripted moments as they naturally unfold. Whether it's the quiet emotion of an intimate vow exchange or the energy of a packed dance floor, I’m there to observe and preserve it all with honesty and intention. From small elopements to full-scale celebrations, I pay close attention to both the subtle details and the powerful, unforgettable scenes—because every wedding has its own unique story, and my goal is to tell it truthfully through my lens

Aleksandra is truly the definition of a professional. She has a clear, confident approach while being completely in the moment, adapting naturally to whatever’s happening. She captured our vibe perfectly and got the best angles. Communication before and after was seamless. On top of that, we got endless compliments on our photos- people, even on the day, couldn’t stop telling us how impressive she was. We recommend her to everyone!

Hi, I'm Stef. I photograph intimate weddings, NYC City Hall ceremonies, and micro celebrations where presence matters more than production. My approach is documentary at its core. I'm not directing every moment, I'm moving through your day quietly, watching for the ones that actually matter. I shoot both digital and 35mm film, not as an aesthetic choice but because film asks everyone to slow down a little. That slowness is kind of the whole point. Based in New York City and the Hudson Valley, available for travel.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Stef when I created a bouquet for one of her elopement shoots. The experience was wonderful from start to finish. She was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the process - always responsive and clear about her vision and needs. The final photos were absolutely beautiful and she captured the romance and intimacy of the shoot perfectly. As a vendor, I really appreciated how collaborative and pleasant she was to work with. I would definitely recommend her to any couple looking for an elopement photographer who combines artistic talent with a genuinely caring, professional approach.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

We don't even know where to begin singing Erica's praises. When she says "Client Friend" she really means it. This is exactly how she treated us from our very first Zoom meeting with her. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she was such a source of calm and support all the way through the wedding planning process. When we had to find a new venue due to issues with the first one, Erica was so reassuring that it would all work out and she even offered to send me full galleries of all the venues we were considering. When I forgot to put my engagement ring on before our engagement shoot (!!!!) she encouraged us to go back for it and told us not to worry about the timing. And on our wedding day, the second she saw me start to get stressed during family portraits, she stepped in with the most perfectly timed pep talk. Not to mention, she and Amanda (another Sweet Alice team member) managed to make rain on our wedding day such a special adventure that I wouldn't trade it for sunshine even if I could! Erica is the most kind-hearted and thoughtful human and this shines through in everything she does. From the many little treats and gifts she sent us just-because, to her ability to make anyone feel comfortable in front of a camera... My husband and I are both very much not photo people, but ten minutes into our engagement shoot it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend. We heard this over and over again from our friends and family at the wedding too. AND THE PICTURES. Some of my favorites are the candids she took when I didn't even know she was shooting. We had such a lovely time re-living our wedding through the album she sent us. We both said that we were glad we didn't end up spending extra money on a videographer because your photos told the whole story of our day so beautifully! I can't emphasize enough how grateful we are that we found Erica- there is no one else we can imagine spending so much of our special day with. I plan to encourage everyone I know to try and book her for their weddings- if only so we can hang out with her again!

As you can see she understands space and color in a way that my wife and I clearly do not but more importantly she understands what makes a moment feel special. We asked Sarah to deliver a documentary style wedding experience and she did not fail. When my wife and I chose Sarah, she immediately got to work helping us to plan our wedding day in a way that you might not necessarily expect from a wedding photographer. Sarah was so personal and friendly on the day of our wedding, it felt more like we had a friend taking our pictures as a favor. However, the finished products speak for themselves: our friends and family celebrating, iconic moments of the day, and our love clearly shown throughout. Sarah delivered organization, artistry, and value in a comprehensive package that can’t be beat.

Let me start by saying I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give on the rating. Since Angie was introduced to the two of us, she’d been a pleasure to work with. She is communicative, reliable, timely, personable, skilled, and incredibly accommodating—Angie was able to memorialize not one but both of our weddings (ceremony and celebration) with style and amazing photo skill—the whole venue loved her personality and her professionalism, and we are so blessed to have been lucky enough nail her down for both of our ceremonies. We happily consider her our friend and will 100% recommend her to anyone who listens. We love you Angie, Love, Paul and Dre

Chris and Chrissy were incredible! My wife and I are so thankful they were not only able to capture our wedding, but make taking photos an enjoyable and smooth experience. We cannot recommend them enough! Every picture is more beautiful than the last, and they thought of everything! Every combo, every angle, every time of day. They made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and took pictures that will last a lifetime. We cannot thank them enough for everything. While we already knew they were the right choice for us when we first chatted, on the big day, they confirmed that they were the slam dunk, best choice to be our photographers.

Since 2014, I have been working as a professional photographer, from dance competitions, to headshots, press events, engagements, weddings, corporate, and picture day in NYC public schools.

As your wedding photographer, I promise a relaxed, fun, and creative atmosphere, making sure you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera.

I'm a full time wedding photographer based out of Middletown, NY and over the past 10+ years I've photographed over 350 weddings. My style is very relaxed with an emphasis on natural and organic posing ideas which don't feel awkward or weird while keeping the photography experience really fun.

The Polished Portrait was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very start, Leo and his team were prompt, friendly, and efficient in their communication, making the entire process seamless and reliable. Their work is truly dreamy and romantic, capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day in a way that is simply perfect. Leo was a wonderful resource and guide to us throughout the wedding planning process, in addition to producing absolutely stunning results. Don't hesitate to hire The Polished Portrait - they are the best of the best and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've created for us.

I hold a special place in my heart for intimate weddings, destination weddings, elopements, and anything in nature. I believe in the happy coexistence between posed and candid photography, and live for them both. I thrive off of positive energy and always promise to bring my own. For each couple I work with, I create a detailed and extensive timeline, posed list, and photo itinerary to ensure a smooth, relaxing, organized, and absolutely magical day. I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature. Let’s explore.

It’s almost hard to write this review because we are still genuinely speechless about how incredible Caitlinn and Laurel were. They truly made our day special. Caitlinn delivered the most beautiful wedding photos we’ve ever seen. Looking at them it’s hard to believe it’s us. Caitlinn is one of those people that immediately makes you feel comfortable, and it’s truly an honor to spend such a magical day with her. She is also hilarious and so much fun. She has such a warm, silly, and engaging energy that made posing for pictures easy and truly relaxing. She genuinely cares about making such an important day so special, and works not just for you, but with you. Caitlin’s style makes the pictures feel like you are reliving them as memories. The way the colors pop and the moments are captured brings both of us straight back to our favorite day. Caitlinn brought Laurel with her to help shoot, and they were also incredible to work with. We were nervous to be in front of the camera, and they were so disarming and kind, and guided us seemingly effortlessly from their end. It was so comforting knowing we didn’t have to know how to pose or stand or where to be, and they not only directed well but the pictures are beyond what we could have hoped for. All we can really say is you should run to book Caitlinn for such an important day. And from the bottom of our hearts thank you Caitlinn for being you, we love you!
