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

I have a formal background in theater and have been immensely privileged to work and train all over the world.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

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.

Wedding Photography by George 
Rating: 5.0 (16 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,700
  • Serves New Paltz, NY

I specialize in capturing your story with an attentive eye and artistic precision. From weddings and engagements to intimate family moments, I transform fleeting experiences into timeless images that reflect emotion and narrative. Each photo is crafted to showcase your personality, connections, and the essence of the occasion, with a commitment to delivering results that match your vision.

Awarded Best of Zola
We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!

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.

She made the entire process so easy for us and truly became a highlight of our wedding planning. Jess captured both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you’re looking for a photographer, stop now she’s one of the best in the business.

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

  • 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
We are so happy with how all our photos turned out with Matthew! He was great from the beginning, having a call to better understand his style and how the day would go even before booking. Prior to the event he had a detailed questionnaire to complete to make sure all the photos we wanted were accounted for. Matthew was familiar with our venue and even went ahead of time to figure out the best spots to take photos. The day of was great as well! He gave great instruction and was very organized so we never had to worry about getting any photos. To top it all off the photos are amazing!! We were beyond impressed with the initial teasers and when we saw the whole album, it really is a work of art! We couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend!!

Megan & Kenneth 
Rating: 5.0 (20 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves New Paltz, NY

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.

Our experience was far beyond what we’d hoped for! We had so much fun at the engagement shoot; it felt like spending time catching up with friends, but then we somehow also ended with incredible photos of us as a couple that we’ll always cherish. This translated to the wedding day but also extended to so much more — as a couple we aren’t particular about a lot of things and prefer to go with the flow and enjoy the moment. Megan and Kenneth both provided a sense of structure for us without anything ever feeling forced, using both wedding expertise and also careful consideration of us as individuals. From the way Megan rapidly buttoned up my dress, to the beautiful shots taken of our treasured guests, to the bits of advice and kind encouragement before the ceremony and in our first moments as a married couple - our day truly wouldn’t have been the same without you both. We felt so lucky to have two people helping us to be present and focus on one another throughout the craziness of the day - and to have Kenneth make sure that my dress stayed clean and unwrinkled! I wish we had better words to capture how great our experience was! We also had very clear and consistent communication via email and video calls throughout the process! As someone who was planning quite a bit in advance, they were the one vendor I never felt nervous about because of large periods of time lapsing without hearing from them.

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!!!

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.

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.

I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature. Let’s explore.

My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to have Caitlinn as our wedding photographer. She is unbelievably talented and has an incredible ability to capture the emotions of each moment. Caitlinn pays close attention to the small details, from the way we held hands to the expressions on our guests' faces, bringing every precious memory to life in her photos. I first met Caitlinn when she was the photographer for my best friend's wedding, which happened to be on one of the coldest days of the year. I’ll never forget Caitlinn’s energy and enthusiasm—despite the chill, she was a warm and positive presence, making everyone feel comfortable and excited. After that, I knew she would be the perfect choice for our wedding as well. We booked Caitlinn for our engagement photos, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the photos were! She even joined us on a cold winter hike, creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that I told my husband afterward, “I want to be friends with her.” That’s how wonderful she is! On our wedding day, Caitlinn made me feel absolutely incredible. She was professional, timely, and brought a sense of calm and joy that made the day even more special. Caitlinn is so efficient that we received our sneak peek photos the very next day, and they were breathtaking! Despite shooting two weddings after ours, she had all our photos to us within three weeks—unbelievable! I cannot recommend Caitlinn highly enough. Not only is she incredibly talented and attentive to every detail, but she is also the kind of person you want to have around on your special day. Her warmth and positivity light up the room, and we are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer.

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!

Nina Marin Photography

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.

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!

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.

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 captured our elopement in Grand Teton National Park. Seriously, she's absolutely amazing! Carroll has this incredible attention to detail that truly sets her apart. From the moment we met up with her, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. It was like hanging out with a friend rather than posing for photos. She helped us scout out the most beautiful spots for pictures weeks leading up to the wedding and was so easy to communicate with. What impressed us the most was how she prioritized our wants and needs. She made sure to communicate with our family members in a professional and respectful way to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. Carroll truly went the extra mile to make our day special. We're so grateful for her expertise and the breathtaking photos and memories she captured for us. If you're ever in need of a photographer, I highly recommend Carroll. She's absolutely the best!

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.
