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.

Christopher Duggan Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (50 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,950
  • Serves New Paltz, 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
Right from the start Christopher's communication and professionalism was amazing. He was so thoughtful and informative every step of the way. He sent us a questionnaire that really helped lay out what photos we wanted to make things easier leading up to our wedding. His calming presence throughout the wedding day made it so easy for us to relax in the moment, this sense of calm and joy was perfectly captured in our photos. From beginning to end, they made every moment of our day special. Christopher and his team are exceptional and will make your wedding day seamless. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience!

Matt through Enchanted Celebrations really exceeded our expectations. He was a blast to have around, he hyped us up, picked the perfect ways to capture our special day, and overall kept us on track throughout the day. We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody). We loved the way he captured us, our energy and the way that we interacted with each other throughout the day. He really caught "us" in the pictures and we'll cherish these photos forever. Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!

Clean Plate Pictures 
Rating: 5.0 (5 reviews)
New Paltz, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Clean Plate Pictures, we were impressed with their communication and responsiveness. Erica was always open to our suggestions and worked closely with us to ensure they captured our day perfectly. Her impeccable attention to detail and great eye for the perfect shot were evident in every photo. She was able to herd our many relatives to make the family shoot less stressful, and even made the slightly janky Hyatt Place look elegant in the getting-ready photos. Erica was so friendly and had a strong expertise on the best shots for our venue. We were thrilled that Erica was willing to travel to New York City to shoot our engagement photos as well. We absolutely loved working with Erica (and Elle the second shoot, a dream!) and would highly recommend Clean Plate Pictures to any couple looking for professional, talented, and personable wedding photographers.

We LOVED Eddie! From our engagement shoot in Dumbo where he got to know us and helped to loosen up, to capturing every special moment of our wedding day, we couldn’t have chosen a better photographer. We got along super well with him and the second photographer he brought along. The pictures they captured were stunning! Eddie really has an eye for lighting and it came through in our special shots. We would highly recommend choosing Eddie — he does amazing work and becomes a part of your love story.

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Awarded Best of Zola
If I could give Jessica 10/5 stars I would. From the communication, the warmth and friendliness, and her ability to see a couple as they are and capture that magic - Jessica was our absolute best decision during the wedding planning process. Our engagement photo shoot absolutely blew us away and she treated us like friends (and supermodels). Jessica helped us write our entire wedding day - of timeline (minus the DJ stuff) the month prior. Then came the day of the wedding - Jessica acted as an expert photographer, coordinator, delegator to the bridal party (our party needed wrangling at times!!), and absolutely stood up for us and our wishes every single step of the way. She saw my face get a little overwhelmed at one point when our family arrived for early photos, and she whisked me away and got me a drink of ice water and checked in. She knew just from a glance that that’s what I needed. We just got our sneak peek photos from her and I am again amazed by Jessica. These photos well exceed all expectations and we feel like royalty looking at them. If you are looking for not only an incredible photographer, but the coolest person to work with (who will also go to bat for you on your most important day), choose Jessica Yurko!!

  • Serves New Paltz, NY

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
From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!

Matthew Rigby Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves New Paltz, 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.

Megan & Kenneth felt like more than photographers/videographers on our special day - they felt like wedding coordinators and family. They were able to pick up on our worries and anxieties, put us at ease, and navigate inevitable wedding-day snafus with grace. Oh, and the photos and video are INCREDIBLE.

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. ✨

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!!!!

It’s Katie if you haven’t guessed already! I’m a photographer in the Hudson Valley. My goal is to give you the newest best friend you didn’t ask for and an incredible memory you get to keep forever. 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.

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.

Using Tasha Hurley Photography was the best choice I could've made when picking my wedding photographer!! Not only was she extremely easy to communicate with but also connected with us as a couple and understood our vibe immediately! We communicated our photography style wishes and Tasha ran with it and photographed our vision beyond what i could've imagined. I appreciated her flexibility and timeliness which created a very stress free and fun environment when taking photos. As we did a courthouse wedding, she also was our witness which was an extra bonus! We received a sneak peek very quickly after the wedding and knew we made the right choice - she even gave some editting options to make sure our photos were exactly like we wanted. The final photos looked amazing and I still can't get over them! If you are looking for someone who you can connect with you on a deeper level, has an eye for details and capturing all the perfect moments - Tasha Hurley Photography is the best person for the job.

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!

Kathleen has an incredible eye for detail and an artistic approach that allowed her to capture the best lighting and most beautiful moments of our special day. She was so easy to talk to, incredibly patient with all of our questions and requests, and genuinely fun to work with. I ADORE our wedding photos and will cherish them always - Kathleen truly captured our day so perfectly, and I couldn't have asked for more in a photographer.

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

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.

Working with Nina was an absolute dream. At our engagement shoot, I told her right away that I’m incredibly awkward in front of the camera and needed direction — and like the pro she is, she immediately made us feel comfortable, confident, and totally ourselves. On the wedding day, when things ran a little behind during the getting-ready chaos, Nina handled everything with such calm professionalism. She seamlessly adjusted the timeline, eased the nerves in the room, and somehow kept the entire day flowing effortlessly. Every photo tells a story — not just of how things looked, but how they felt. She captured the laughter, the happy tears, and all the tiny in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her eye for detail and ability to find magic in the ordinary is unmatched. She went above and beyond — fixing little details, offering gentle direction, and somehow being everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. When we saw our gallery, we were completely floored. The images are timeless, emotional, and truly us. If you’re lucky enough to have Nina capture your day, you’re not just getting stunning photos — you’re getting her art, her heart, and memories that will last a lifetime.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

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.

  • Serves New Paltz, NY

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.
