Lyon Mountain, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

I'm Cass, an Improviser Photographer from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York. Because this is my full-time career I have the time to dedicate to my clients. Rather than only taking pictures of you, I want to get to know you on a personal level. I like to establish a connection based on trust and honesty when taking photos. I am a photographer without cheesy trends, capturing the things that actually matter. REAL LIFE. What you see is what you get; so no over editing or too much posing. I dedicate my work to capturing real emotions in a fun and non-intrusive atmosphere.

Hello and welcome to my page. I am so thrilled you are here. I am a story- telling photographer located in the 1000 islands New York. I photograph weddings in Alexandria Bay, Clayton, cape Vincent, Chamount, Sackets Harbor and Watertown

My experience with Butterfly photography is really good. Our first consultation was so informative. She really wanted to get to know us and what we like/ don't like with photos. At our wedding day she came prepared with different props for our rings and detailed shots. She had so many ideas for the family photos and she got them done very quickly. Which I was shocked because we have such a big family. Her and her assistant are amazing at what they do. I would recommend this photographer to anyone who is getting married in the Thousand Islands NY

I’m Donna Marie—the introverted, hella awkward + nerdy, all about the vibes and adventure(ish) soul that you can typically find behind the camera (rather than in front of it). I'm here to serve + empower all the introverted, awkward in-front-of-the-lens, adventure(ish) couples who want to have an authentic, non-traditional wedding experience across upstate and northern New York.

I’m your go-to gal when you decide to take control of your wedding day.

Donna Marie Photo Co is amazing to work with, as an NNY Wedding planner I have met so many creatives, but none like Donna Marie; so truly has a passion for her clients and her craft. Her style is authentic and in the moment, she captures the day and individuals as they happen, and always captures GOLD! not only will her work speak volumes about her talent, but you will also feel comfortable and at ease with her genuine and FUN personality!

Christopher Duggan Photography

5.0

Bronx, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,950
  • Serves Lake Placid, 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
We shared the most intimate moments of our lives with Christopher and we can not recommended him highly enough. The quality of his work was only matched by what a great guy he is. From the moment we spoke to Christopher over Zoom, we knew he was the photographer for us. He put us at ease instantly and we felt he shared our vision for the wedding photos we wanted. But when we met him in person, it felt like we had known him forever and his calm, gentle manner went a long way to helping us relax, which helped him capture the most perfect, natural photos. And his photos were beyond our wildest dreams; his vision and creativity far surpassed anything we could have imagined. We flew from the UK and got married in Central Park, New York, with photos around the city. Chris planned everything perfectly within the time we were allocated and gave us the most beautiful memories to cherish forever. I have tears in my eyes now - three months on - remembering how amazing our day was and how Christopher helped make it so special. On top of this, we got our photos back in super quick time, which was an added bonus. It would be impossible to recommend him any higher than we do.

Carly & Kasey were the dream! I found them on Instagram and so glad I did. We did our engagement shoot with Carly and she did an awesome job of helping two people who have never taken professional pictures together before feel comfortable and confident. Communication throughout the planning process was excellent, very responsive and even sent out tips along the way that I found extremely helpful. The day of the wedding we all felt completely at ease. I never felt rushed or like we weren't getting enough photos. We received so many compliments from guests and even other vendors on how wonderful they were! Our sneak peek pictures of the wedding we received are amazing. I’ve looked at them a hundred times already and cannot get enough. The day is gone but I am so grateful to have such amazing pictures to look back on forever. We cannot wait for the rest!

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 and laughing. 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!

Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lake Placid, NY

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

Awarded Best of Zola
We had an amazing time with Chrysa. She made me and my wife feel so comfortable, and had us laughing which made for great photos! I would happily recommend her to anyone I know, so they could enjoy it and have the great experience that my wife Cassie and I had.

I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

From start to finish Nicole was absolutely amazing to work with- she is the perfect balance of organized and responsive while still being so easy-going and flexible. We were planning our wedding from abroad and Nicole was always so supportive and patient as we went through the planning process. When we finally met her in-person on our wedding day, it was as if we had always known her. Nicole instantly made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and not only did we appreciate this, our guests did too. By the end of the night Nicole had become part of the wedding party and we didn't want her to leave. All of our pictures are incredible and we are so grateful to Nicole for capturing so many special moments throughout the day.

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Becca is a fantastic photographer! She’s easy to communicate with and is such a fun and positive person to be around especially on what can be such a chaotic day. She’s also very flexible and accommodating! She works her hardest to make it the best experience possible. 10/10 recommend!

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney has been an absolute blessing! From our engagement shoot, to our wedding, to fun yearly sessions, there is no one else we’d choose to capture each special moment in our lives for the rest of our lives! Once you have one shoot with her, you know you’ve found your forever photographer! She makes each session so much, so easy & such a time to remember. Booking Sydney for any of your photograph needs will never disappoint!

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.

Jess made us feel so comfortable from our first interview and that was the most important aspect we needed in a photographer. She was creative and adaptable in our poses. We felt like models during this experience even though neither of us are typically good picture takers. She knew all the right spots and angles at our venue which showed she really cares about her clients. We only had a few requests but she made sure everything was done exactly how we hoped for! Our wedding pictures are our most treasured wedding piece and thats all thanks to Jess.

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

We absolutely love Kara! We used her for our engagement, city hall ceremony, and our wedding in Savannah, GA. She is absolutely wonderful. We were so anxious to do our engagement pictures, but she immediately made us feel comfortable and calm. We knew we had to have her for the rest of our wedding. She is so creative and endlessly talented. We are so lucky to have gotten to work with her throughout our engagement/wedding. She also is great at advocating for what YOU want for your day, she helped with the timeline, she answered any question we had, and she also literally stitched my dress up 10 minutes before I was supposed to walk down the aisle - she can do it all haha. We have zero regrets in hiring her. She is the best.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

We loved Joe and Ashley! They were top tier people to work with. They came to our venue early and we’re ready to start shooting from the shot list. They had great communication, were very personable, professional and had a strong game plan with plenty of room for flexibility. We battled with some chilly weather and wind on the day of but they did everything in their power to make it perfect! Honestly if I did not have Joe and Ashley there for me I don’t think my day would have been as perfect as it was. Ashley was able to bustle my dress before my first dance and help calm my nerves the day of, she was kind, compassionate and honestly made me very at ease the day of. Joe was able to handle a rowdy bunch of groomsmen the day of getting all the special shots I asked for while leaving lots of time for extra pictures we may have.

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

Awarded Best of Zola
There were so many great things about working with Vital that I hardly know where to start. We booked him through Zola after going through an overwhelming number of photographers’ portfolios— many beautiful pictures, but none of them felt like “us”. My husband and I are both camera shy and felt very strongly that we didn’t want to spend the whole day posing; Vital completely understood and delivered. From the first communications, he made us feel heard, understood, and supported. We met him for a small engagement shoot in our neighborhood to get acquainted before the big day, and he even brought a Polaroid camera after hearing our first photo together was a Polaroid— just an extremely thoughtful and personal touch that really encapsulates the way Vital works. Leading up to the wedding he was incredibly easy to get in touch with, even sending us questionnaires to understand exactly what we hoped to get out of our day (and what we like about each other as partners). I left feeling like he really wanted to understand US and deliver the photos WE wanted— versus some stock lineup of pictures you’d expect at a wedding. On the day of the wedding he showed up early, was totally prepared, and got to work without instruction. My husband and I were able to relax, soak in the memories, and completely forget a photographer was even there. And the results! He delivered our previews within days, had the full gallery ready in weeks, and the photos were gorgeous. He captured so many little moments that I would’ve otherwise missed. He got so many wonderful candid shots of us, our families, and our friends. Each picture is packed with feeling and energy. It was more than we could’ve dreamed of, and we’ve looked at them over and over since they were delivered. Getting the right photographer for your wedding is a huge decision, but if I had it to do over again I’d book Aesthetic Sabotage without question.

I cannot say enough about how great Connie was. We last minute decided to do an “elopement” style wedding with immediate family only in my hometown. Connie went above and beyond from the get-go. She responds promptly and set up a zoom call to discuss what our expectations were for the big day. She had a whole PowerPoint made for us to go over different styles of shooting and examples of poses to go over what we do/don’t like! She made a cute flyer that mapped out the schedule of the day, hour by hour, which was extremely helpful. I wasn’t sure where I wanted to have the pictures taken, and she did her own research and found a beautiful rose garden right by the church, which made for the most beautiful backdrop for the pictures. The week before our wedding the forecast showed a chance of showers on the wedding day, and she went out of her way to buy a clear umbrella for us to use for the pictures, just in case. On the day of, she arrived 2-3 hours before us at the rose garden just to scope out the garden for the best spots for pictures. While taking pictures, she has the best personality, makes it so fun, and provides great direction so we knew exactly what to do for the pictures. She is so creative and got shots that I would have never thought to capture. She sent us about 10 pictures the day after the wedding that took my breath away. She provided the remaining of the pictures 3-4 weeks later. I have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding pictures and so many people asking for her contact info to use her for their own! I am forever thankful for her capturing our day so beautifully and being so professional while also making it such a great experience.

Weddings can be stressful, even as a photographer but working with them, I have never been stressed or felt like we needed to rush. They are so easy to work with.

  • Photojournalistic style

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. 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.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

Awarded Best of Zola
We are soooo happy with our choice to hire Erica for our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day! We found her information in the Skaneateles Wedding Guide and when I reached out to her, she responded within the hour. From the very beginning she showed us how responsive and professional she was, while also still being SO friendly, warm, and easygoing. I get camera shy easily and I let her know of this - her response made me feel so comforted and less anxious. Her style of shooting is really laid back and fun - we didn't even feel like we were being photographed to be honest. She had us do funny prompts to make us laugh, or would sneak photos from somewhere without us even seeing. She has such an eye for creative shots that really represented us as a couple. Her and her assistant Marissa were an AWESOME team. HIRE HER!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Ishan and Preeti are incredible people and artists. So talented, creative, artistic, fun and affordable. No cheesy typical wedding photos here! Our pictures are one of a kind. For our engagement photos, Ishan and Preeti were willing to drive aroubd local towns and take photos at numerous locations that meant something special to us. They are so creative with light and texture and are daring to go anywhere. And then our wedding day..Oh My Goodness. I have never seen such beautiful photos. We got married in Montauk, NY and after our first look, we went out by the lighthouse and took photos over the bluffs. They are INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!! We got married at a yacht club and we had mentioned to Ishan how we would love a photo on a big yacht. He again rose to the occasion. We found friendly boat owners who let us board their yacht and Ishan got photos of us opening champagne and drone photos of us lying on the bow. He thinks on his feet and comes up with awesome photos in any circumstance. Ishan Fotografi really captured the highlights of the wedding perfectly. The photos were available by the time we were back from our honeymoon. We just received our album, which is not only breathtaking, but really tells the story of the wedding day.

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! My partner and I wanted more non-traditional portraiture for both our engagement photos and wedding and Caitlin just immediately understood the vibe we wanted. She's great at getting to know her clients and making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Similarly, she just melts into the background during the wedding and captures everything you wanted and more, all without being front and center. You won't regret hiring her and I'd say book her while you still can, because she's only set to blow up more :)

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose have a very unique style and a very good eye for art and wedding photography. There are no many like him... He is someone who is always giving 101% to his couples at the same time that he give them space to fully enjoy their wedding day. He is very easy to work with, fun, super profesional, understanding and caring. In my experience of all this years working with Jose, the most important to him is that the clients have an amazing experience working with him and that the final product that he delivers is impecable.

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

As a wedding florist, I've had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented and gifted photographers throughout the years and certainly have my favorites. Alex from White Poppy weddings is for sure one of them. She is kind, genuine, very easy to work with and I LOVE that she has an eye for not only only capturing the tender and important moments, but the beautiful details that tell the story of the day. I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!! I could not recommend this sweet, talented gal enough.

Kim & Mike were an absolute dream to work with! They are so easy to get along with and have such creative ideas for what to capture/how to capture photos. We felt so comfortable with them and doing our photos before the ceremony eased a lot of nerves. During the ceremony they were hardly noticeable and yet managed to capture it perfectly! Sneak peaks were posted to Facebook quickly and we received all over our photos (nearly 1,000) in just a few weeks. Highly recommend!

  • Serves Lake Placid, NY

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

Chris & Megan take incredible photos and truly capture the beautiful and special moments! We got married in Ithaca at Cornell University and leading up to our wedding day, Chris met with us and spent time getting to know us. He also informed us of things we should consider on our wedding day (such as a first look or where we wanted portraits). On our wedding day. Chris and Megan took amazing photos and did a great job directing our family during the portraits. We received our digital photos a week later and were so thrilled with how they looked! We will recommend The Story Photography to anyone looking for professional photos in the upstate NY area!

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam is an amazing photographer and even more amazing teammate on your wedding day! She is comforting, totally in control and overly creative to capture all the shots. From the moment we booked her she was incredibly responsive and helpful! I cannot recommend someone more!

Hey there love! I’m Malyssa, the onewoman circus behind M Quay Photography. I fell in love with photography one morning while I was waiting at the bus stop. Since then I've been seeing the beauty in everything. I want to be the person who helps you see your inner beauty. As your wedding photographer, I want to be the person you come to freaking out about wedding planning, the person bring you water, hang out with your kiddos, and tell you that you are the bomb! I want to adventure with you. Truly, I just want to be your best friend. And maybe take some photos of you in the process.

Malyssa is a great photographer. She is so energetic and fun to be around. Her ideas are so creative. Her work is so beautiful! And images are delivered in such a timely manner.

Elizabeth Willis Photo

Watertown, MA
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Lake Placid, NY

I'm a hybrid film + digital photographer who loves squishing baby cheeks and is terrible at making the bed. I'm a glass-half-full kind of gal who loves naming and caring for my plant babies, creating new cocktail recipes, the color yellow, and twinkle lights. Collaborating with clients to make images that tell your story is what drives my art. I strive to be inclusive, so if you aren't seeing yourself reflected in my portfolio, I aim to change that to make sure others feel seen too. I'm a sucker for weddings that include pieces of family history and love creating images that will be dog-eared and adored for generations to come.

I've worked with Elizabeth Willis Photos as a client and as a professional in the wedding industry. I'm a florist in the wedding industry and Elizabeth shot a wedding we both worked on. I was thrilled with the photos that I got back of my work. Not everyone can capture the beauty of flowers. It sounds funny, but there is a special talent for it, and Elizabeth has it. Not only did she capture the flowers beautifully, but all the soft and quiet moments of the couple as well. Once I saw that, I knew I had to book her for a family session. The session was comfortable and fun. I'm usually pretty awkward in photos, so I was completely prepared to have trouble picking the ones I liked. When the proofs were delivered, there was so many good photos to choose from that I elected to purchase more than what was included in the package. I will forever cherish the photos she took of my family!

Baltimore, MD
  • Photojournalistic style

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Katie is so fantastic! She is communicative, easy to work with, and takes the most FABULOUS photos! My sister has special needs and getting good photos of and with her for my wedding was one of the most important things to me- and we have the most amazing photos! She captured every moment and emotion and I could not recommend her more!!

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

Working alongside Debbie was a joy! I was a videographer to a wedding she was photographing. To the couple, Debbie was patient, calm, and professional throughout the day, and helped the couple not only stay at ease during some stressful moments, but also enjoy their wedding day amidst the hiccups. To myself and the other vendors, Debbie was collaborative, creative, and flexible to each of the fellow vendors specific needs for the day. Her photos from the wedding were authentic, timeless, and stunning! I would highly recommend Debbie Gander Photography to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding!

I am fun loving, hard working and passionate about delivering wonderful photos from your wedding day. I work very hard to help couples to feel comfortable with me and with the camera so that their photos reflect the honest emotions from the day. I enjoy working with couples to deliver an image set that they will cherish for years.

James was so easy to work with and very accommodating to our desires for our wedding. He was communicative, thoughtful, and professional. We had several meetings prior to the wedding and we really appreciated how James listened to our needs, as well as introduced ideas and suggestions of his own- true collaboration! The whole experience really put our minds at ease. We chose a very rustic setting and James was able to capture the essence and feeling beautifully in his photos. He had great ideas for staged photos, and has a good eye for natural, unscripted shots. At no time did we feel nervous or overwhelmed, and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the results!

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!
