If you’re lucky enough to have Billy available for your day, book him immediately!!! From the moment we met him, it felt like reconnecting with an old friend — the kind who instantly makes you laugh, puts you at ease, and somehow reads your mind when it comes to what you want captured. We were in Niagara Falls for our destination wedding, so we didn’t get the chance to meet Billy beforehand, and honestly? We were a little nervous about that at first! But once the day arrived, we genuinely forgot we had just met him. That’s how effortlessly he blended in and made us feel comfortable. Not only is he ridiculously talented (our photos are jaw-droppingly good — like, how is this our real life?!), but his creative eye and attention to detail are on another level. He floated around our wedding with multiple cameras like a storytelling ninja, never missing a beat, a tear, or an unhinged dance move. And the best part? Billy made it all so fun. He wasn’t just our photographer — he was our hype man, our calm in the chaos, and honestly, a big part of why our day felt so joyful and relaxed. His energy is contagious, and his passion for what he does absolutely shines through in every single photo. Bonus: He has a little surprise he likes to share during dinner — it’s amazing, and I won’t spoil it for you… but trust me, you’ll love it. If you want someone wildly talented, genuinely kind, and just plain fun to be around — Billy is your guy. We’re still absolutely blown away by his work, and we’ll be raving about him for years to come

The Lovely Lens

  • Serves Ridgemont, NY

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia's laid-back and friendly approach put us at ease from our very first email. On the day of our wedding, she was a calming presence and vibed with all of our guests. The photos she took are stunning and perfectly capture our celebration. We are so grateful to Celia for her artistry and approachability!

As a working photographer, I have the wonderful opportunity to capture people, places and things at their best.

Photography is a wonderful way for me to capture these key moments.

It was such a please to work the Andre! He was our second photographer because we didn’t click with our first one. I’m beyond happy I decided to switch. He answered every question and/or concern quickly. He was fun to work with and a lot of laughs were had from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. Even with the laughs, he was professional and captured every moment perfectly. 11/10 recommend!

Dani T Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,550
  • Serves Ridgemont, NY

I've photographed 100+ weddings and countless engagements during this wild ride of a career, that started about 10 years ago. Trust me, when I say, I have seen it all. From busting my best moves on the dance floor, getting that wild uncle away from the bar for family formals, to making sure you feel like the baddest B in the room..I've got you! Need help with a timeline, what to wear for your engagement session or what location is going to rock your world? I've got it under control.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Dani for our engagement and wedding photos! From the very beginning, Dani was an absolute joy to work with. For our engagement shoot, we had planned to travel to New York, and of course, it turned out to be one of the coldest, snowiest days in March. Despite the freezing temperatures, Dani was so brave and enthusiastic—she took us outside in the snow to capture the most stunning photos. We were shivering, but Dani made sure to capture every perfect moment, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing. When it came time for our wedding, Dani did not disappoint. Every single photo was breathtaking, and you could tell she put so much care and attention into editing each one. We felt like the photos truly captured the essence of our day and our love for each other. Dani’s talent and dedication are clear in every shot, and we're so grateful for the memories she's helped us preserve. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also warm and easy to work with, Dani is the one. Highly recommend!

I love to take pictures and I always have. For me, it started with spending time with my father in the darkroom as we developed black and white film. In high school, I went to Rochester's School of the Arts and focused on photography. Over the years, I have enjoyed working with so many beautiful couples on their wedding days, and I feel truly blessed to be the one chosen to be behind the lens. Let me preserve your special moments through photography, while you enjoy your day worry free, knowing that I have it covered.

  • Serves Ridgemont, NY

Capturing the perfect shot isn't just about clicking a button – it's about feeling the vibe of the room with finesse and a special eye. From directing family formals to wrangling tipsy groomsmen (hey, it happens!), I've got the knack for orchestrating those must-have photos. I also know when to step back and snag those authentic, unfiltered moments (like drunk groomsmen dancing!) that make your story complete.

Kenzie Gates Photo was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Kenzie's communication throughout the planning process was fast, quick, and informative - she always responded to messages within a day and kept us updated on timelines and details. The quality and value of her work is magnificent, breathtaking and phenomenal. She perfectly captured the special moments of our wedding day and got all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. Her artistic eye and talent shine through in the photos. The final wedding album she designed told the story of our love beautifully. I would highly recommend Kenzie Gates Photo to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers exceptional results and is a pleasure to work with.

If you are planning a wedding of 50 or fewer people and want an intimate celebration, I may be the right choice for you.

Personally, I’ll totally take timeless and authentic over trendy any day. To me, authentic moments always make for more beautiful and personal photographs. Because of this, it’s truly important to me that your wedding pictures say something real about you and who you are as a couple at the beginning, on this day together.

My now husband and I cannot stop raving about what a pleasure it was to work with Michael- from our engagement shoot to the big day, he was a true professional while also bringing a calming and positive energy to every shoot. My parents and numerous guests have commented on how friendly he was, putting everyone at ease and capturing memories we will cherish for a lifetime. The photos are exactly what we asked for, and better than we could have wished for. Thank you Michael!!! Mary and Justin

Hiring Eivan’s for our wedding was a great decision! Our photographer Gregory I was professional and FUN! He kept us smiling throughout the day with his quirky personality! My fiancé does not care for photos so I’m happy we had someone working with us who could make him comfortable. He made sure to get multiple images even if it was just “one more”, it was never one more! We had actually hired a different photographer and we replaced him with this company. Worth the stress and money! If I had any tips for the company, it would be to have your photographers give a 30 minute warning before their contracted time is up. Weddings are so busy for the bride and groom, it is very easy to lose track of time. I think clients would appreciate a little heads up just so they can try and capture any photos they may have missed. Other than that, I have ZERO complaints. Such an amazing experience! 10/10 highly recommend :)
