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.

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

Where to even begin. Erin was amazing right from the start! Communication was so easy and he got back to me within a business day! Come day of and we had some rain, but Erin was so quick to shift gears and use the rain as a supporting actor. Even with the weather, he was still able to get the pictures we requested and ones that are so unique! Erin captured our day PERFECTLY and we could not be any happier! Erin was able to get our pictures back super quickly which is a huge plus and deserves all the bonus points! We also hired a videographer for the day and he worked super well with him! The flash drive was delivered in a personalized wood box with one of our pictures printed on the top. I honestly forgot about that, so it was a lovely surprise! I would include every single picture he took of our day to include in my review if I could. So, if you’re hesitating on booking Erin, don’t hesitate any longer. He’s the man for you!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I had no idea what I wanted other than the day to be captured in a natural way. Nothing staged or forced. What Cass did for us was beyond that. Art and nature and energy all captured without even knowing she was there. Thank you Cass! We love your eye. Always have.

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were very pleased with Kyla! She was so willing to adapt to our changes as the weather dictated. As an older couple , we didn’t feel the need to have every traditional shot .. we wanted candid shots of our family enjoying themselves along with our tiny ceremony. She blended into the background to accomplish just that and thought quickly on her feet to notice a break in the weather to get outdoor group shots and some of us by our boat . We were definitely too involved in the enjoyment of the day to look for those opportunities and we are so glad she was on it ! We love the photo memories she has created for us and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a photographer for their event!

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.

Surrounded by mountains and lakes in the Adirondack Park, Jordan’s hometown inspires the imagination. In his downtime, you can find Jordan adventuring outdoors with his two young children and wife Erin. Jordan’s filmmaking displays ease, authenticity, and fun. Achieved over years of refining his art and through the time he spends getting to know each of his clients before he picks up his camera. Jordan works with both local and international clients and has captured hundreds of magical moments and life stories over the past decade. Some of the brands he’s worked with include Fox Sports Florida, NBC Sports, Lexus, and the NCAA.

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.

On the big day he had multiple photographers to follow both the groom and the brides party all the way to the venue and managed to get great shots of all aspects of the ceremony and reception without getting in the way of the party. In followup meetings, he managed to get all of the photos and videos back to us quickly and his communication and insight was extremely helpful in crafting our keepsakes and mementos exactly how we wanted them. In short, we can't recommend Brandon enough and would happily hire him and his team for any major events we would have in the future.

My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Both me and my husband aren't great at posing for photos and he knew exactly how to place us without it feeling faked. Super easy to work with and just a really nice guy. I'd highly recommend him to anyone!

In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

Truly don't know where I begin... Thalia from the beginning was the warmest, most talented individual and we clicked immediately. There is a reason I booked her nearly a year and a half in advance to my wedding! Not only is her work phenomenal, but her style of photography truly made the day so easy and seamless - very cinematic/documentary style. She did our engagement pictures which were beyond breathtaking, and our wedding pictures surpassed our expectations by tenfold. Please do not hesitate to book her, she is BEYOND TALENTED and I received endless compliments on our pictures for weeks after we got them back. She is truly one of a kind and the most easy person to work with. We love her so much and plan to use her in the future for any other life events of ours!!!!

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.

From the moment we first reached out to Jessica, the experience was easy and comfortable. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, as she helped us create and stick to a schedule, making certain that everything moved seamlessly. Jessica and her assistant created a comfortable environment, ensuring that everyone was comfortable having fun (or at least pretending to laugh at her dad jokes). It truly felt like she was just there to celebrate us as a couple and our marriage, while take a few pictures along the way. The photos captured were not only beyond amazing, but also had a cozy, loving, and just genuine quality that perfectly reflected us and our day. Jessica has become more than just our wedding photographer - she's a new friend that we're so grateful to have been able to share this experience with.
