Each wedding marks the start of a family, and they are once in a life time events! So far I have photographed close to hundred weddings. I have the opportunity to create timeless images for my clients that will be valued by generations. That is why I don't believe in third party post-processing, I personally edit the photographs and re-touch the close ups to show my clients in the best light possible.

DeVa Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her communication style was kind, professional, and thoughtful throughout the entire process. The quality of her work was exceptional - the photos she captured were absolutely beautiful and they were able to document all of the best moments of our special day, even in the midst of torrential rain. My company has worked with DeVa a few times and she is the sweetest, happiest, and most talented photographer. I would recommend Deva a thousand times over to any couple looking for stunning wedding photos and a warm presence on their special day.

  • Serves Monticello, 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

Skye D Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (1 review)
Monticello, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,700

I have photographed hundreds of weddings all over the Hudson Valley since 2008 and have made some life long friends and clients over the years. My goal is to not just hand over digital files at the end of the day, but to leave with a connection to the bride and groom, one that will not only be reflected in the images from the day, but also possibly bring us back together for all the future milestones in your life together.

From the moment we met Skye, we knew we were in great hands. But, she and her incredible team—Heidi and Luke—exceeded every expectation we had! We decided to book a package with Skye that included photography, videography, and a coordinator, and we’re so glad we did! Our wedding was held in the Catskills at the Arnold House, and we were searching for local vendors when we found Skye and her team via Google Maps. The photography was exactly what we were looking for! Skye has an amazing talent for capturing the most beautiful, candid moments while making us feel completely at ease throughout the day. Our wedding photos are nothing short of magical!! From the quiet intimate first look to the wild moments on the dance floor, no special moment was missed. Skye is incredibly flexible and responsive, which made everything run smoothly. Skye and Luke work great together and the photos/videos are just what we wanted. We are beyond thrilled with how our photos & video turned out! Heidi, our coordinator, was an absolute dream to work with! We cannot express enough how lucky we were to have her by our side. She took care of every detail with grace and professionalism, ensuring that everything went perfectly. Thanks to Heidi, we were able to relax and enjoy every moment without worrying about logistics. We spoke with her the weeks coming up to go over all the smallest of details and to make sure we were all on the same page. She made sure our vision came to life, that every guest signed our guestbook, that the gifts and envelopes made it home with a family member & that everything was absolutely perfect. (She thought of things that didn't even cross our minds!) AND she made sure that we actually ate and tried all the food!! Heidi's presence is very calming and we are so lucky to have had her as our coordinator. Skye, Heidi, and Luke made our wedding day unforgettable, and we feel so grateful for their hard work, dedication, and the beautiful memories they helped us create. If you’re looking for a talented, professional, and passionate team, we highly recommend Skye and her team!

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.

Richard struck the perfect balance of professional and fun—he blended right in with our quirky, crazy crew and truly felt like part of the day. I honestly couldn’t recommend him enough. All of my family and friends adored him too—he’s an absolute 10/10 rockstar. To top it off, he delivered a full batch of preview photos just two days later, and they are absolutely stunning. He had such a gift for capturing the true essence of who we are. Words can’t express how grateful I am that he was our photographer. Don’t hesitate—just book him. You won’t regret it!

Matthew Rigby Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Monticello, 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
My husband and I are both graphic designers, so we had high expectations — and Matt absolutely delivered. He documented our elopement so beautifully; every photo feels like a piece of art and a true reflection of the day. He was incredibly easy to work with, made us feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, and brought such a positive, calm energy to the experience. Matt is both enthusiastic and hardworking, with a sharp eye for detail and a real gift for framing moments in a way that feels natural and cinematic. We’re so grateful, and frankly honored, to have had him capture our day.

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.

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 had stumbled upon Megan and Kenneth’s work and immediately fell in love with their style. I reached out to them as we were still on our way home from our venue tour after finalizing our date. I didn’t imagine that they could literally be better than the pictures, but they are. Megan and Kenneth were not only our photographers, they TRULY became our friends. They are hilarious people that have mastered the art of making you feel confident, at ease, and completely yourself. They take such care in their work, and even more care in making sure they understand their couple and capture their essence perfectly. I really can’t have imagined our wedding day without them. Apart from how incredible they are, they are extremely reasonable in price for the top tier quality of their work, and they are insanely responsive and quick in their return times! I would recommend Megan and Kenneth a bajillion times over. They not only will capture your day beautifully, but they will make your day better.

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
They shot our wedding and we couldn't be happier with how it all came out! My favorite thing about all of the pictures is that they somehow managed to get soooo many adorable candid shots throughout the whole day - and I didn't even remember them snapping those photos! Their style of photography is truly breathtaking. Erica & Amanda are truly such creative, talented, and all around wonderful humans! They say that picking a wedding photographer is the most important vendor for your big day - since you'll be spending so much time around them. I knew immediately from our engagement shoot with Erica that she was the one to capture our moment. Erica & Amanda are really such pros, too - they were so quick to direct everyone to pose in the most easy-to-understand ways to get SO many pictures in such a short period of time. My husband and I are super awkward people - but you wouldn't know it from these pictures, we truly look like we belong in a magazine haha wtf!!!! AMAZING!!! They also got us our preveiws during the busy fall season in just a few days - and there were SOOOO MANY of them! Our wedding party was shocked at how good and how many there were, saying "these are only the previews?!" I can't even imagine how great the full album is going to be if this is just a taste of it!! And lastly, they are just great human beings through and through. Both Erica & Amanda radiate such positive and warm energy - that everyone felt comfortable around them. They're the kind of people that you feel like you've known for way longer than you do. I usually get really nervous around cameras, but they are seriously so calm and kind that you end up just laughing and smiling the whole time. I really love being able to support and give my money to people who I respect so much. If you're lucky to get on their books (because they book up fast!) I promise you won't regret it! -Lauren & Mike

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
Julia is a wizard. She is a fairy. She is a magical being that was sent from another realm to make us feel like the most special people on our special day. Wedding planning can be stressful, but spending time with Julia means putting all those stresses behind and falling in love with your partner again. She manages to get the most intimate shots while making sure we’re completely comfortable and happy. We thought a good while over who we were going to pick for our photographer and with unbelievable luck we chose the best photographer in the Hudson Valley. Completely outstanding, 10/10, we will be hiring her for all life events. From our first conversation with her, prior to the engagement shoot and prior to real wedding planning, it was clear that she was the right choice as she made us feel secure and made it clear that she had a vision that aligned with ours. Julia made our wedding dream come true and immortalized in her photos, there is absolutely no one we would recommend over her. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring her for your wedding.

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!

Angie was the first vendor we secured after booking our venue, and she set the bar incredibly high for everyone else. Professional, personable, and deeply engaged, Angie takes the time to truly understand your vision and needs for the big day. When the time comes, she ensures everything runs smoothly, expertly guiding you, your family, and your friends through the wedding photo process. Angie and her team captured both planned moments and spontaneous memories, all while collaborating seamlessly with our other vendors. From our very first meeting—her idea, and the only in-person sit-down we had with any vendor!—to the engagement photoshoot she organized for us in Central Park, and finally to the hundreds of stunning photos she captured at our wedding in Throgs Neck's Marina del Rey, Angie was incredibly thorough and meticulous. What impressed us even more was her efficiency and thoughtfulness. Within a month of our wedding, she delivered an impeccably organized gallery of photos, complete with a sneak peek that arrived the very next day to satisfy our excitement. Angie also provides excellent value, handling both an engagement photoshoot and our wedding at a fair price point with a level of service, professionalism, and care that is truly unmatched.

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.

We instantly knew we made the right decision bringing in Leo of the Polished Portrait to our wedding team. Leo is efficient, knowledgeable, talented, and very easy to work with. During the photo portion of our wedding, he made my wife and I feel confident and kept it a light fun vibe. During the reception, Leo had faded Into the background in the best way possible. Have you ever been to a wedding when a photographer would do anything to get the shot including getting in the way of other guests? Well that’s not Leo! He was courteous and respectful to all the guests and picked his spots to get incredible shots. My wife and I would highly recommend him as an amazing photographer.

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
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!

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.

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.

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
Having Tara by my side on my wedding as an absolute dream. Our wedding would not have gone as smooth if I didn't have Tara with me to remind me what we had coming up next. Having done an amazing job with our engagement photos, we knew our wedding photos would come out just as great. She did a great job leading us to picturesque places at our venue and guiding us through what poses would look perfect. She captured every emotion we had that day and I'm so happy to have all these moments taken by her.

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.

From the moment we first reached out to Love, Lucy Photography, Bethany and Raquel were incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. We knew we made the right decision when we met for our engagement session! On the day of our wedding, they went above and beyond to keep us calm and relaxed, allowing us to truly be present and soak in all the special moments. The quality of their work is outstanding - they captured the day in a way that brings us right back to the magic of that day whenever we look at the photos. We were thrilled that they were able to capture all the shots we requested, delivering the final gallery to us in a very timely manner (2 weeks!!).

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 the absolute best! She photographed our wedding in May 2023 and she truly exceeded our expectations. From the beginning stages of planning and our engagement shoot to our wedding day, she was responsive, caring, friendly and so excited to be with us - she felt like a friend throughout the whole process! Carroll captured all of the true emotions and special moments of the day, both in the candid and the posed photos. We can feel all of the love and happiness of our wedding day just by looking at the photos. She also made us feel so comfortable, we were able to enjoy the day without feeling like we were always being photographed which was really important to us. Carroll provided us an amazing gallery that we will cherish forever. We could not be happier with Carroll and her incredible work - we will forever recommend her!

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.

From our first conversation with Katie Ellen Photography, we knew we'd made the right choice. Katie was responsive to every question we had and paid close attention to all the details that mattered to us, while keeping the whole process fun and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured beautiful pictures that we'll treasure forever, and she went above and beyond by being helpful with so many little things that made the day run smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish. We can't recommend Katie Ellen Photography enough to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about getting it right.
