Debbie Gander Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,600
  • Serves Middletown, NY

My clients describe me as caring, passionate about my work, and trustworthy. I am honored to feel like an extended member of the family when I'm photographing weddings! When I’m not working with amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley, 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!

We love Debbie! Debbie has been such a pleasure to work with through our wedding process. Since our first meeting with her, Debbie made us feel super comfortable and at home, feeling more like a family friend more than just our photographer. She has a great knack for getting the best shots and captures authentic feeling in her photos. She was so good at helping us relax in our photos (which was great for me as a notorious camera-shy guy). Debbie will be our first call for any professional photography in the future and we 110% recommend her!

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

Awarded Best of Zola
Richard is the VIBE! I can't give enough stars! From the unexpectedly windy engagement shoot, to the magic of the 1st look, to the moody magazine worthy portraits, to capturing the best moments all night..he adapted and integrated himself into our day and our family with ease. He blended into the background and truly felt like he was part of the party! Richard is a true professional! He comes off super relaxed and casually says he "has some ideas" and then he turns on the magic. He plays with the lighting and the surroundings and the weather and adapts any moment and any backdrop into a canvas for his art. I really could go on for paragraphs over how spectacular he was to work with, and it brings tears to my eyes to write this after I relive our wedding day in each and every photograph he took that day. I can feel every moment all over again and it is truly remarkable! Thank you Richard for becoming part of our family! xoxo -Lauren and Chris

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. I am a queer, New York City-based photographer championing spaces where all joy is seen and celebrated.

From the moment we booked MJC IMAGE, Mary was incredibly communicative and friendly. She did both our engagement shoot and wedding and detailed everything clearly and worked with us to find the right package for our needs. She went above and beyond just photographing our wedding - she played coordinator and was always there to make sure my husband and I were taken care of. Mary is not only a great photographer, but she took something we were dreading, pictures, and made the experience enjoyable. She has a calming presence and was great to work with throughout our special day. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos she captured that we will cherish forever.

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.

From our very first interaction with The Polished Portrait, we were impressed by his transparent, clear, and helpful communication style. Leo proved to be highly professional, providing work that was above average and truly the best we could have hoped for. Leo had brilliant ideas and worked tirelessly to capture quality candid moments throughout our wedding day. His quick turnaround was amazing - we were able to receive our wedding pictures while we were still on our honeymoon! We are thrilled with the final photos and would highly recommend The Polished Portrait to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photography experience.

Here With You Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
Middletown, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

Where do I begin... When I first started looking for a photographer I had a certain vision in mind. I didn't want the typical posed pictures for engagement/wedding pictures. I wanted someone whose work stood out and was unique. I emailed Becca as soon as I came across her work hoping she had our wedding date opened. She did! I think after like two emails back and forth I booked her, I knew she was the photographer for us, super chill and laid back. When we first met for our engagement pictures I was super nervous, my husband and I aren't photogenic at all, and personally I feel like pictures are awkward. Becca is a natural, I felt like I was hanging out with a long lost friend and she made us both feel beyond comfortable. She got our pictures back to us within a week and we were OBSESSED! Fast forward to our wedding day... Becca and her assistant Raven went above and beyond... No words can explain how happy we are with our albums. I can't wait for our future photo sessions together!

Awarded Best of Zola
We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!

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.

Jessica was the best photographer that we could have asked for. From day one, we vibed, and I love her style. She captured every moment, and then some.

Matthew Rigby Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Middletown, NY

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.

Lisa was just incredible from start to finish. She had no issues with hopping on calls with us, amazing communication. She helped with our time-line, got family members to listen to directions, patient but firm, such a great person to work with, and of course Lisa's photography is absolutely amazing. Lisa worked with our budget, got the shots we wanted, and the ones we didn't know we wanted. Her 2nd shooter that day was Taylor who also was super nice. Taylor even sent me a picture from her phone so I could post a real sneak preview. Lisa gave us a sneak peak gallery within a week, and full gallery within 2 month. The gift she sent us after was absolutely beautiful. When we need a photographer in NY again, we already know who to call. Thank you Lisa!

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. ✨

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Sweet Alice Photography enough!!!! If you are getting married in the Hudson Valley area, you won’t find a more professional, personable or talented photographer than Erica! When we decided to spend our lives together, we knew we wanted a wedding that was an authentic presentation of who we were; a celebration of two families coming together that was filled with color and nature. We called upon family and close friends to help us with their talents for many elements of our wedding, but knew we needed a professional behind the lens to capture our big day. Erica at Sweet Alice Photography seemed like the perfect fit for us. Her honest and candid photos tell a story that feels real without excessive filtering. We felt so comfortable working with Erica. She was cheerful, communicative and accommodating through every step of the process. Regular email updates and words of encouragement arrived in our inboxes unprompted, and even when we had to make a last minute venue change she was so incredibly supportive. She really felt like part of the family! We loved the preview shots she sent us within days of the ceremony and couldn’t wait to share them with all our guests. We were surprised to receive all our images so quickly and in an adorable gift box with the coolest flash drive!!!

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.

Writing a LONG overdue review for Megan and Kenneth, who we worked with for our summer 2025 wedding in Saugerties, NY. These two are simply the best of the best!!!! After seeing Megan and Kenneth’s photography style, we knew we were interested in working with them, but once we had our first phone call, we were sold. These two are true professionals— they are organized, efficient with communication, and ultimately, caring friends and partners to their clients. We had full trust in Megan and Kenneth on the day of our engagement shoot and on our wedding day, and they were such a kind and comforting presence throughout. They helped my husband and I feel at ease in front of the camera! Not to mention— we got our photos back SO fast after our wedding :) We are so, so grateful to Megan and Kenneth for absolutely everything. Hire them — you will be so glad you did!!!

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 were so lucky to have found Kathryn for our wedding. As a photographer, Kathryn is an artist. She has incredible talent, creative ideas, and delivers stunning results. As a person, Kathryn is simply a joy. She is warm, easygoing, and fun. She made the process so easy from start to finish and we actually miss getting to chat with her! We are a same-sex, interfaith couple, and came to the table with family drama, a crazy dog, and a mashing of cultures. Kathryn didn't bat an eyelash. She has a true inclusive spirit, and that continues to mean a lot to us. If you want to be able to relive your special day with profound joy for years to come, just choose Kathryn! We so hope for our paths to cross again someday and we look forward to recommending Kathryn to anyone who will listen. We wish her nothing but the success that she deserves.

My favorite band is Panic! At The Disco, my favorite show in the world right now is Schitt’s Creek, and I have a cat named Cricket, who is my entire world! I am known for my candid, romantic, and artistic photography with a hint of modernity. My ultimate goal is to show the, love, beauty, strength and enthusiasm of people through my photos.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Julia Ann Photography, we knew we had found the right photographer for our wedding day. She was helpful and prompt with every question we had, especially since we weren't local to our venue—she went out of her way to give us engagement shoot recommendations and suggestions for things to do in the area. Julia has this wonderful ability to be both professional and relaxed at the same time, and her sense of humor kept us at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she captured something truly special: when my mom walked me down the aisle laughing and crying, Julia didn't just photograph that moment between us—she also caught my groom's reaction and our guests' faces in the most tender way. She even took time to have my husband explain the details of his tie clip, watch, and cuff links so those meaningful pieces were documented beautifully. Julia's passion for her work really shines through in every photo, and we couldn't be happier with how she captured our day.

I live for the giggles, full heart felt moments and even shed a tear or two at almost every wedding I attend (just because I am so freaking happy). I can’t help but be so deeply intertwined in the moment that I get lost in the love and magic of it all.

Throughout the planning process, she was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and she made sure every detail was finalized perfectly. On the day of the wedding, Katie somehow managed to capture every beautiful moment—honestly, I don’t know how she did it all on her own. Our wedding photos are our absolute favorite thing to look at. The lighting, the editing, and the care she put into perfecting each picture really shows. I look at them every single day. Katie was wonderful from start to finish, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone in need of a wedding photographer. She exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful for her talent and dedication. We will cherish our photos forever!

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Sarah is firstly a gifted artist and photographer. 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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Caitlinn for our wedding was an AMAZING experience. We couldn’t be happier with our photos! I told her from the get go that my fiancé (now husband!) and I never take good photos, but she assured me that our photos would look natural and not overly posed, which is what we wanted. Caitlinn responded promptly to every email and worked with us to create an efficient timeline for our very large family and bridal party. We had four small children in our bridal party and Caitlinn handled them like an expert and got some amazing shots of all of them! She is incredibly organized and best of all, we received a “sneak preview” of our photo gallery one or two days after the wedding, and the entire photo gallery within a week of the wedding! And the pictures, OMG are they beautiful. The hardest part is choosing which photos to put in our album - they are all that good! (But we get to keep the full digital photo gallery which is being displayed on a digital frame). I particularly appreciated how “unobtrusive” her style is - especially during the very emotional moments like our first look - we didn’t “feel” like we were being photographed so we were able to enjoy the moment and act naturally. She captured all of the big moments and the small details too and her artistic eye created beautiful shots of everything from getting ready all the way to the cake cutting and everything in between. Caitlinn is also an incredibly lovely person - her energy carries through in everything she does, and we felt so comfortable from her right from the get go. Truly I can’t say enough about this wonderful photographer and person - she created beautiful memories for us that we will cherish forever.

We couldn’t have asked for a better photography team! Between Chris’s pristine eye and attention to detail, and Chrissy’s incredible ability to execute their vision and wrangle everyone with ease, they captured our day absolutely flawlessly. They work so amazingly together — their chemistry and teamwork made the whole experience effortless and fun. By the end of the day, they didn’t just feel like our photographers, they felt like family. We’re already obsessed with the preview photos and cannot wait to see the full gallery. Truly the best team out there — we can’t recommend them enough!

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Love, Lucy Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication before, during, and after the wedding was very good, making the entire process painless. Raquel and Bethany, the photographers, took amazing photos throughout the day, capturing all the special moments with a creative and fun flair. They did an incredible job with the pictures, which were ready for us just two weeks after our wedding day. We could not be happier with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day. Highly recommend Love, Lucy Photography!

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

We cannot recommend Katie enough! From the moment we reached out for our wedding photography, they were incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely excited about our big day. On the wedding day, Katie was a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of planning and emotions. They blended seamlessly into our celebration, capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. The way they interacted with our guests made everyone feel at ease, which translated into the most natural and beautiful photos. The final gallery blew us away! Each image was thoughtfully composed, with stunning attention to detail. They perfectly captured the essence of the day—from the emotional vows to the joyous dancing—and we were astonished by the quality and creativity in every shot. We also appreciated Katie’s ability to stick to our timeline while remaining flexible and adapting to the day’s flow. Their artistic vision truly shone through, and we received countless compliments on our photos. If you’re looking for a talented, dedicated, and friendly wedding photographer, look no further than **Katie Ellen Photography** . They truly have a gift for storytelling through their lens, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of our special day! Thank you, Katie, for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime!

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing Nina as our photographer was one of the best choices we made. From the onset she was warm, friendly, and professional. She was very responsive and available to answer all of our questions. We booked an engagement shoot before the wedding and Nina even suggested the perfect location for us to shoot. I would not consider myself to be photogenic but Nina made us feel comfortable. On our wedding day, Nina took control and made sure the day moved as we needed it to. I would not have made it through the day without her. There were some minor mishaps throughout the day and Nina quickly pivoted and found solutions. Our photos came out stunning. I asked her to avoid certain angles that I felt didn't flatter me, and she made sure to remember that on our wedding day. She got the perfect mix of candid photos and portraits which is exactly what I asked for. I cannot recommend Nina enough.

I'm Carroll, a photographer for those who love to live a happy, fun life! I'm married to the most amazing man and together we hike, travel, eat a lot of Chinese food, and watch WAY too many Friends reruns (which explains my crazy love for coffee). I'm also a fur-mom to the two most adorable (and spoiled) little fur-babies, Levi and Chloe. The more you get to know me, you’ll realize how much I love the simple moments of life and to make the most of it all!

Carroll is absolutely amazing, THE BEST!! From start to finish, Carroll was very upbeat, friendly, respectful, and professional. Carroll was so fun to work with, we loved all the photos she took during our engagement session and our wedding. Everyone has said how great our photos came out! We highly recommend Carroll and look forward to working with her in the future!

If you're looking for someone to preserve your memories in a candid and true-to-life style, then let's talk! I love capturing all aspects of your wedding day from fun portraits of you and your partner to candid moments among your guests. I'm going to work with you to figure out what package fits your needs and what exactly you want to capture on your wedding day. I love making photos fun and easy because your wedding day is a special moment, not a photo shoot!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had the pleasure of working with Tara for a mutual client recently, and it was a great experience! Tara was responsive, personable, and professional throughout. She thoughtfully shared preview and completed photo albums with us right away, and her work is beautiful! Thanks Tara for capturing the spirit of the day (and our venue!) so perfectly! We hope to work with you again soon!

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, their communication style was friendly, responsive, and clear. They took the time to understand our vision and made sure we felt at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - their photos have a nostalgic, natural, and emotional quality that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. Cappy's skill and creativity shone through, even in the challenging backgrounds of our intimate venue in Greenport. They beautifully documented every moment, from the getting ready shots to the ceremony and reception. The final images are timeless, memorable, and absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Cappy Hotchkiss Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.
