Jacalyn Meyvis Photography 

5.0

Rochester, NY
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,600

Hi, I'm Jacalyn — the photographer behind Jacalyn Meyvis Photography in Rochester, NY and the Finger Lakes. Photos should be timeless. No trendy wedding filters here. On a day as special as this, you should remember all of the important moments. In a way you'll love both now and in 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am SO glad I chose Jacalyn to take our wedding photos! As someone much more comfortable behind the camera, I was determined to find someone I could really trust with my very specific vision. Jacalyn delivered and more! Jacalyn took photos on our wedding day and during our Vietnamese tea ceremony the night prior. We also asked her to add on Super 8 film for our wedding day - and it was worth every penny! (For shooting the Super 8, she was accompanied by her second shooter, Bekah, who was equally amazing!) Jacalyn is truly a professional through and through. She was extremely organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and kept communication open. On the wedding day, I was stressed about a lot of things - but the photos were not one of them! Throughout the day, she was able to capture so many special moments that I would never have even seen otherwise given how preoccupied my husband and I were. I am eternally grateful for her ability to capture such details through her work. She not only has a great eye and instinct, but her editing style is impeccable. It's so timeless and natural, and exactly what I wanted! My husband and I are already talking about booking subsequent photoshoots with her for anniversaries and future events.

Michael Fisher Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,450

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.

We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!

Nice to Meet You, I’m Katie! I am an editorial wedding and elopement based in Rochester, NY. I specialize in digital and 35mm film photography, and aim to create art that is ethereal, emotional, and elegant. I love being creative, documenting moments in an artistic way, and truly celebrating with my couples!

Katie and her team at Kathryn Anne Photography were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From our first meeting, Katie's kind, clear, and consistent communication made me know I had picked the right photographer. On the big day, Katie made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera while capturing timeless photos that were pure art and exactly what we envisioned. My husband didn't quite understand why photography was such a priority initially, but once we got our sneak peeks, we were both blown away by the images. Katie truly went above and beyond to deliver work that I can only describe as literal perfection. Her artistic eye and attention to detail resulted in photos that we will treasure for decades to come. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough for any couple looking for stunning, emotional wedding photography that far exceeds expectations.
