Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Christian and Emilio were an absolute joy to work with from our exploratory communications, to the day of our wedding, and the delivery of our photo's and video. We are forever grateful to have them be apart of our special day. They listened to exactly what we asked for. We didn't want a lot of the typical wedding shots and wanted more candid photos. Not only did they deliver on that, some of the more staged photo's that we thought we didn't need, once we saw the outcome, we were happy that they worked a few of those in the mix ;-). Christian and Emilio totally got our vibe and it translated beautifully in photo's and our video. Our friends and family are still raving about it! Listen, we all know that sticking to a budget while wedding planning is necessary yet one of the biggest challenges BUT they are willing to work with you. I'm not kidding. These gents truly have your best interest at heart and that includes giving you quality work within a budget that works for you. My husband and I have very high standards and are very detailed oriented, so this a very honest review. Cross this off your 'vendors to hire' list and HIRE THEM! Don't even think twice about it.

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography

Beacon, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

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.

I have had the pleasure of working with Cappy Hotchkiss many times through the years and am always blown away by her upbeat energy and enthusiasm that she carries throughout the wedding day. Couples love working with her. She is professional, charming, a great sense of humor and her work is stellar. Her photographs are candid and emotionally stirring. Most importantly, they will warm your heart.

I’m an artist, a husband, a brother, a dear friend, an inquirer of life and a creative soul. I was born and raised in central New Jersey (if such a thing exists) where I still reside. I have a deep appreciation for the nostalgic things in life. Things that have the ability to bring you back to a happy place in your lifetime. I suppose this is why I love what I do so much, why it is so fulfilling. I am creating those nostalgic things for everyone else.

Awesome photographer! Even flew down to nashville for my wedding. Very professional and our pictures came out amazing. Anything we wanted he found a way to make the picture look even better then what i had in mind. I recommend Tim to everyone !

I’m a photographer, a mom, a wife, a snowboarder, a surfer, a roller coaster enthusiast, a college instructor, and a former mechanical engineer. I recently earned my Ph.D. in Education (but you don’t have to call me Dr.)! I have an extremely short attention span, am addicted to wearing beanies, and am fueled by chai tea. I'm socially awkward most of the time I'm in public, and I make weird faces when I concentrate to take photos. I dress for comfort and for rolling around on the ground, standing in creeks, and climbing into trees to capture the best angles for my photographs — but I do clean up reasonably well on wedding days!

Awarded Best of Zola
Carrie is UHMAZING! We’ve had her photograph our engagement, wedding - flew her to Maui b/c we love and trust her work so much! - and we go back every year for Santa photos. She’s the absolute best and worth every cent.

Corrina was a fly on the wall that day and I am blown away by the sneak peeks I have seen! She really captured the essence of the day and is super easy-going and brings a good vibe to the wedding day.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! If I could rate TEN stars for Michelle, I would. We were very serious about the person we hired to capture our special day as these are the images we will have to remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives. We knew our photographer would also spend the whole day with us so it was important we did our due diligence to meet with every candidate. Most initial meetings were very quick, but we just hit it off the second we met Michelle in person and it was a NO brainer after that day. Michelle is INCREDIBLY talented and a true master of her craft. She captures the most unique and special moments and told the full story of our wedding day from start to finish. She is very professional and was super easy to work with! From our engagement shoot right off the bat she helped us not feel so awkward in front of the camera and on our wedding day, almost didn't even realize she was there! I am beyond thankful for the amazing photos we will have to cherish from an incredible day. I could go on for hours, but if you are in need for a wedding photographer, look no further and book with Michelle ASAP! THANK YOU MICHELLE !!!! <3

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer

John shot both our engagement session earlier this year and then our wedding this past September and I could not say enough great things about him and my photographs!! John was kind, wonderful to work with and incredibly creative when it comes to getting the best artistic photos. He has great instincts and not only captured our big day beautifully but really showed off our personalities as well. I think one aspect John excels in is making sure he captures those precious moments in those natural candid times that my now husband and I were just enjoying being together not worrying about posing and smiling for the camera. As beautiful as our portraits are, some of those natural photos turned out to be my absolute favorites!!!!! Our photos from both sessions turned perfect and both my husband and I would recommend John and his team to anyone in need of a great artistic mphotographer!

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.

I began my career a decade ago. As a tour photographer, I began accompanying musicians all over the world. Little did I know at that point the low lights, high energy, and late nights would translate well into my career as a wedding photographer. My start as a music photographer gave me the confidence to navigate even the most challenging and unpredictable situations, and I use the same philosophy now while photographing weddings: keep calm, stay observant, and follow the action.

As a wedding planner, we are always looking for talented photographers to recommend to our clients and Jess is someone we routinely recommend. Her approach to photography is authentic and personal and photos are always filled with so much emotion. She seems to perfectly capture couples in a way that allows you to feel like you know them and their personal story. She is perfect for couples looking to have their day captured naturally and not in a forced style. Along with her talent, Jess is a joy to work with on wedding days. She's a quit yet quick, seeming to always be where she needs to be at exactly the right moment without having a camera in your face. With so many photographers out in the market, it can be hard to stand out, but Jess has seemingly found her place in this industry and her work speaks for itself. Any couple would be lucky to have her capture their day and any vendor is lucky to work alongside her.

We’ve all been in front of someone’s iPhone for a photo. You might not think anything of it until you see it later & you don’t look anything like yourself. My mom loves to snap family photos, so I’ve been there. It's terrible for confidence & it's stressful when someone at the party says “let’s take a photo!” I get it. That’s why I do this–for you to see photos of yourself that actually looks right & you see your own lit up smile, you see yourself in that moment and simply how happy you were. I photograph weddings for that freedom & relief that your creativity & mine are working together to craft authentic, artful photographs for you.

My wife and I are quite the awkward photo takers and have never felt 100% comfortable during a photoshoot- except with Jenn. She found a way to make us never want to stop taking pictures. Not only does she know what she's doing, she makes it so much fun. Our wedding photos turned out better than we could have ever hoped for. We were so lucky that Jenn was more than willing to travel across the country for our wedding. She's just a photographer, but quite possibly the most important aspect of our big day!

Before we even met, Ryan and Tatiana had 10 years experience as wedding photographers, and Ryan had been named one of the Top 10 Wedding Photographers in the World by the two top industry magazines, American Photo and Rangefinder. We didn't mean to fall in love with the person whose style and experience fit most neatly with each others', but it happened. Now we manage our business and creative passion with our other passion … parenting our Tasmanian Devil of a toddler, Gavin, in our happy place of Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.

Ryan and Tatiana are amazing photographers. They are geniuses at capturing candid moments and taking action shots along with posed photos. My husband and I don’t feel like natural models behind the camera, but they provided coaching during our engagement photo shoot. We knew that there would be plenty of great photos of the two of us on our special day and we asked that they focus on getting great shots of as many of the guests as they could. They totally delivered! And despite managing to take snaps of over 100 guests, no one really noticed that they were there. It was like they were photography ninjas. They really managed to capture the joy and the fun of the day. We will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. Thank you to Ryan and Tatiana for everything!

I spent my teenage years drawing cartoons and Japanase manga. I discovered my love for photography during my late teenage years when I got my hands on my first cellphone with a camera. I was always the go to picture person during family events and gatherings. Though they were admittedly average at the time, everyone loved them and always encouraged me to get a real camera. I finally saved up for one and never looked back.

I never dreamed of being a wedding photographer. I thought it was all the same, you show up to a venue, photograph different couples in the same poses every weekend and after is all said and done never see them again. However one day while I was taking photographs of people I loved and cared about it clicked! I could photograph couples who I truly got along with, who just want to have a great time on their wedding day. Couples who want to be themselves. Couples who I could consider friends, not clients. I’ve built my business on this premise and enjoy it every single day.

Lily is a dream to work with! I’m always so excited when I find her on the vendor list for any event we are both working on. Her photography is phenomenal and she edits so quickly that you’ll have pictures Monday after a Saturday wedding. I always recommend her to my clients. She has such unique style.

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

Jenny is an absolutely wonderful person and amazing photographer. So kind, friendly, organized and talented. She is a pleasure to work with always. She listens to your needs, guides you through the process, and delivers work that showcases all of the love and fun of your day.

Jess Spoll Review We cannot recommend Jess enough. She’s an absolute treasure of a human being who is now one of our good friends, in addition to being a magnificently talented photographer. Her documentary-esque style paired with her stark contrast and beautiful, earthy colors make her work some of the most visually stunning images we have ever had the pleasure of laying our eyes on. If you’re getting married, we would absolutely, 1000% recommend Jess Spoll. Sure, you could hire some other wedding photographer that captures all the smiles and sunshine and happiness that your day brings, and you’d be satisfied. However, if you want to relive your wedding day in all its beautiful, loving glory, hire Jess Spoll. She has this way of telling a story through her images in a way that communicates a sense of ease, sincerity, and above all else, warmth. She snapped moments that we didn’t even think would be moments worth capturing, and yet managed to make those particular pictures some of our favorites from our wedding day. We want to take her with us everywhere we go and have her document our lives-. Jess was extremely easy to work with. I am usually a pretty shy person in front of the camera, so for her to get me to naturally come out of my shell was nothing short of amazing. Working with Jess literally made us want to get more pictures done despite having already gotten married. We highly recommend her and cannot speak highly enough about her style, professionalism, and dedication.

She got back to us with the final photos within weeks! Thanks to her, we have the most beautiful moment captured from our wedding.

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera.

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

Jose have a very unique style and a very good eye for art and wedding photography. There are no many like him... He is someone who is always giving 101% to his couples at the same time that he give them space to fully enjoy their wedding day. He is very easy to work with, fun, super profesional, understanding and caring.

Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

I worked with Ann, as the DJ for a wedding she photographed. As someone who views every wedding guest & vendor as content contributors to the photo album, I believe the photographer's job is the most important. So I reached out to Ann to let her know that I would have a table for her, so she didn't have to keep getting down on the floor all night, as photographer's tend to do. She was very receptive to my communications, and always professional. The photos she sent me of the reception were top notch. I would enjoy working with Ann again, and I highly recommend her.

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

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

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

Working with Meghan is always a treat. Clients love her because she is high-energy, hilarious, and just amazing behind the lens. Meghan has a creative eye for those candid moments and really captures the most important moments on a wedding day. Seeing her work first-hand, it's beautiful. Her images truly reflect the emotions shared between two people. I'm constantly amazed and inspired by her work. There is a reason she is my favorite photographer to work with. She knows how to read a room and a situation, so nothing gets missed. Wedding days go by quickly, but with Meghan, they go by even quicker because you're having so much fun. She's like that extra wedding party member you didn't know you needed. She's got your back. If you're looking for professionalism, stunning photos, and a good time, you want Meghan Luckenbill.

I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!!

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

I found my passion for art while growing up surrounded by horses in a small town in Brazil. The shapes, textures, and colors of the horses always have been inspiring to me. I’ve always wanted to recreate them, but was never really able to. Honestly, my painting/drawing skills were and still are terrible, and that’s when photography came up in my life. I would create imaginary cameras out of my toys and would ‘photograph’ the horses and my neighbors. Photographing people became my passion and then evolved into my work in editorial and wedding photography.

I can't post enough praise about Gui from 98 Wedding Co, and I'm SHOCKED there's not more reviews here. We recently had our engagement shoot with him and let me tell you-- we were blown away by the photos. We were looking for an editorial style that screamed NYC, and Gui captured it perfectly. All my family and friends were amazed at the shots and could not stop raving about how well he captured us and our vision. It looks like a spread out of Vogue! My fiance and I are also pretty awkward in front of the camera, and Gui's calm and relaxed presence was a breath of fresh air. He knew all the right spots and best places to get the perfect lighting and framing, a true expert in his craft! I can't wait to see how perfectly he captures our wedding and will be sure to update this review when the photos are inevitably stunning as well. Thank you Gui!!!

“Photography takes a moment out of life…and holds it still” A small collection of photographers who strive to capture the emotion and energy of life’s significant moments in a sophisticated yet understated light hearted way.

My husband and I cannot thank Hechler Photographers enough for everything. It was such a joy shooting with Julio for our engagement shoot in downtown Manhattan and our Rehearsal Dinner at the Union League Club in NYC, and we loved shooting with Julio, David, and John (the videographer) on our wedding day that took place on May 18, 2024 at the Metropolitan Club in NYC. From the moment we met David (recommended by our amazing planner, Jeff Stillwell of Stillwell Events), we knew it was a wonderful match. David is extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing listener. When David referenced notes from our very first conversation a year and a half later (just a little under a month from our wedding), I was beyond impressed and truly touched. We greatly appreciate how David, Julio, and John were all able to quickly respond in the moment and pivot as needed, whether it was to ensure my hair could be touched up to stay perfectly in place or that we could have time to relax before key moments (e.g., the ceremony). As an incredibly detail-oriented bride, I am so grateful for all the attention to detail that was demonstrated from the beginning of our wedding day to the end of the evening. David, Julio, and John managed to strike the perfect balance of making their presence known, while blending in perfectly (one of my friends had commented that most photographers & videographers she had seen at weddings were so loud and even disruptive). Not this team!!!! I will also be forever grateful for all the encouragement and helpful tips and pointers/direction that David and Julio provided throughout Friday and Saturday to make sure that everyone looked and felt their best while remaining confident in being themselves. I still have Julio’s voice in my head saying, “Work it!” I am so grateful that David and Julio were able to capture all the photos and videos on my extensive shot list, and then some!! My husband, our families, and I cannot wait to see these photos and videos - if the engagement shoot photos are any indication of what's to come, these photos and videos are going to be absolutely magnificent. David, Arthur, Julio, and Casey, thank you for everything! It has been such a pleasure working with you all. This past weekend felt like heaven on earth, and I’m so glad we chose you all to capture these memories we will cherish forever and ever. -Nicole & Kyle May 18, 2024

Each event is as unique as you are and the images reflect the genuine love you feel and people you care most about. It's my objective to capture your story by preserving the memories of how you felt on that special day. The power of photography lies in capturing a split second of a moment in time.

I've been in love with the art of photography for as long as I can remember, and I'm truly blessed to be able to pursue my passion every day. Growing up all over the world (Sweden, India, and Denmark to name a few!), my love of photography grew from my desire to capture the places and people I wanted to remember the most. What I love most is the incredible honor of being part of your special day and capturing the deep emotions behind the photograph.

We were so fortunate to come in touch with Nithya through Zola! When I found out in early September that things fell through with a local photographer for my October wedding, I emailed 10 photographers on Zola, desperate to find out about their availability. I had a reply from Nithya the next morning, and after a wonderful chat, she became my new photographer! I loved her enthusiasm and how she talked about her work and the types of photos she wanted to capture that day.

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere).

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time!

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

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

I’m into spending all my time at a beach every chance I get, having my nose stuck in a book and if there were no biological consequences, I’d be eating chocolate and drinking tequila all day. I’m half Indian and half Chinese and multilingual (I speak Bahasa, Cantonese, Mandarin and Japanese). I was born and raised in Malaysia, did a little stint in Japan, attended law school and landed New York City.

Senshi feels like a good friend on your wedding day with an expensive camera - a photographer friend who actually knows what she's doing and expertly captures those sweet, little, happy moments with breathtaking photos. You'd be lucky to have her as your photographer aka memory documentarian! She not only guides you if you're uncomfortable in front of the camera, she delivers a sneak peek gallery almost right away so you can gush over all the feels of your wedding day. She's an absolute pro - personal, fun-loving, kind, and talented!

The key to our service is investing in making your wedding day experience great. With this service in mind, we can create beautiful visual storytelling that is singular for you. Our name, Ein photo , embodies that mission. Eins (pronounced [aɪ̯ns]) means one in German, so Ein Photo means one photo. One has many meanings to it, the first, the best, but we look at it as the only one. One couple, with one story, told by one series of photos.

We met with several photographers and knew we wanted Tim and his team to be our photographer after our first meeting. My husband and I both don't really like having our pictures taken and thought our engagement photoshoot session was going to be filled with uncomfortable awkward poses and smiles. We were so wrong! Tim made us feel comfortable and easily directed us when needed. It ended up being a really fun hour and we loved how natural we looked in all of our pictures! For our wedding, Tim and his team arrived on time and captured all of our key moments. They were so efficient and easy to work with the entire day (and throughout this entire process)! I wasn't stressed at all and we LOVE how all of our pictures came out! Thank you SOO much Tim and Joseph! Ein Photography is the BEST and a must for your wedding day!!

Michelle Lynn Weddings

Philadelphia, PA

  • Serves Paterson, NJ

Hi there! I’m Michelle, the wedding photographer behind Michelle Lynn Weddings. I love authentic, timeless, and joyful photographs, and I’m drawn to photographing weddings with a mix of romantic, natural portraits and a photojournalistic style. I have an easygoing, go-with-the-flow & positive personality that my clients find very calming and reassuring.

Michelle was phenomenal from the start. Before booking we met up at a Panera to see if we had the same idea for what was important in a photographer. Her packages were reasonably priced and included an engagement session. I never thought I'd want one but boy was I glad to have one. We were able to get comfortable posing in front of a camera and we also learned what poses we liked and what ones we really didn't like. Michelle quickly got us our engagement photos. We were able to view and download them from her website! On the day of the wedding, Michelle and her 2nd shooter were both on time and professional, but since we had the engagement shoot it felt like we were seeing friends again. She made sure to get the shots that I had requested but also captured the details I didn't even think of. After the wedding Michelle again quickly got our photos to us online but then also sent us a beautiful package with a flash drive that included the engagement shoot and some prints as well. Michelle even took the time for us to look through and find some additional photos of my husbands grandfather after he passed away. She is truly amazing. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was spectacular through the entire process. If you want an amazing photographer and wonderful human then she is your girl!

My love for photography started at a young age in my small hometown outside of Pittsburgh. After being in public accounting for over four years, I eventually left to explore the creative fulfillment that photography has always given me. I knew immediately that being able to capture the love and joy between a couple for them to cherish for years to come, brought me the fulfillment I was searching for. As a photographer, I love natural light, authentic moments and adventurous souls. When not behind the camera, I’m forever a Harry Potter superfan and pasta addict. I’m always looking for new people and places to inspire me.

Alessandra photographed my sister in laws wedding and we knew we needed her contact information! We couldn’t be happier with working with Alessandra. She captured our entire wedding weekend with confidence, fun & positivity. She delivered our sneak peek photos within 2 days of our wedding and we were blown away. We can’t wait to see how our photos turned out, we know they will be amazing. 10/10 recommend Alessandra and for your wedding!

Photography by Fabienne

  • Serves Paterson, NJ

First and foremost, I care about capturing your vision. Fabienne has been passionate about photography and capturing moments of beauty long before she officially started her business. Years ago, a friend asked Fabienne to photograph her intimate backyard wedding. In doing so, she discovered that she could share her passion and talents with the world. That same year she launched her business shooting weddings, and later expanded to newborns and families after the birth of her daughter. Additionally, she has over 10 years experience in commercial photography.

Fabienne is a true artist and a true professional. She photographed my wedding, and we've worked together on many photography projects since then as well. Before planning my wedding, I didn't think that choosing a great wedding photographer was super important for me, and didn't think it would be a top priority. I was wrong! I can't believe how much I treasure my gorgeous wedding photos. Fabienne knows how to make every shot beautiful, and she's inventive and creative in her approach. Plus, she really understands the logistical challenges of a wedding and knows how to make the process as stress-free as possible. She listens to what you want, and she'll make sure that you get every photo your heart desires.

My wedding photography philosophy is super simple - keep it fun, keep it natural and keep it YOU. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have shot well over 300 weddings. I'm a lover of candid photos, but also know the importance of formal photos as well, so I provide a good mix of both traditional and photojournalistic styles. I approach wedding photography with a personal touch, understanding the depth of love and the significance of moments both big and small. My goal is to create timeless images that reflect the uniqueness of YOU and tell your love story.

one of the absolute best decisions we made when we got engaged was booking Allison for our wedding. She is one of the kindest people, and made us feel so comfortable during both our engagement shoot and our wedding day. our bridal party and families also loved working with her and our photos are STUNNING. the turnaround time on our photos shocked us in the best way possible - she had our whole album to us less than a month after the wedding. she felt like a friend and made our day so seamless. we couldn't recommend her more - book right away if you're thinking about it!!!

Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley, but will gladly travel wherever your love story takes you. My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

I had the pleasure of working with Brea on a recent bridal photoshoot. She was not only lovely to work with but she delivered stunning photos in record time! I wish I could get married again so I could hire Brea. I'll definitely be recommending her to my clients and I can't wait to get the opportunity to work with her again!
