Kozmo Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
Schenectady, NY
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,600

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

Kevin at Kozmo Photography is top-notch! He goes above and beyond to make sure he captures every moment of your special day. From the moment I booked him to the moment we received our wedding photos, I knew we made the right choice. He was so personable and fun to get to know at our engagement photos that I knew he would be perfect for our wedding day. He quickly responded to all emails I sent during the wedding planning process. He met with us a few weeks before the wedding to make sure he knew exactly what types of photos we wanted and to make sure we had a good game plan for the day of the wedding. On the day of the wedding, he was great at making those getting photographed feel comfortable but he also made sure everything flowed well. For example, my veil kept falling out so during pictures he personally put it back in and it stayed! He captured every moment beautifully! He was there while we were getting ready all the way until we left the venue at the end of the reception. Kevin will go above and beyond to make your day and your photos perfect!

Kristen Renee Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (6 reviews)
Schenectady, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography tells authentic wedding stories through a relaxed, documentary style. Based in Albany, New York and traveling wherever love leads, Kristen and her team focus on genuine moments rather than stiff poses. From intimate elopements to vibrant celebrations, every wedding is approached with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each couple’s unique story. The goal is simple: photographs that feel real, timeless, and unmistakably you.

We worked with Kristen & Sheridan for our wedding earlier this year and are so lucky to have found them! TL;DR: From planning and day-of execution to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Kristen & Sheridan were incredible to work with. Not only were they the perfect presence for our wedding day, they captured it in such an authentic way with a stunning final product. We connected with Kristen & Sheridan the moment we met them which was important to us considering the amount of time you spend around your photographers. We did an engagement shoot prior and we not only received an incredible batch of photos, but we were able to establish a rapport that made the flow of our wedding day feel that much easier. When we had to tweak our photo schedule or change locations, they were the perfect people to help us pivot and keep things on track. And when it was time for the ceremony & reception, their discrete coverage led to incredible results that captured our day in such an incredible way. The wedding gallery they created was nothing short of amazing and we were able to see moments of friends & family we would have never seen day-of. And truly, everyone who interacted with them LOVED them. We had opted not to have a videographer and knew our photographs were going to be our primary memory of the day, and we have no notes! Kristen & Sheridan captured the perfect story of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!

Schenectady, NY
  • Band or Ensemble

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Awarded Best of Zola
T.L. Holloway is the best choice we could have made to bring our vision to life on our wedding day!! Steve was so communicative from the start and worked so well with us to make sure he & the team were on our exact same page. We can't say enough wonderful things about their music as well! The songs, the music, the singing, the whole band was fantastic and exemplified the whole vibe we were dreaming of!

Weddings can be incredibly stressful and sometimes not go as you planned, but I can guarantee The Edison Downtown staff will make your special day the best wedding or event you’ve ever had. Jena, our wedding coordinator and Bylinda, the owner, truly went above and beyond any of my expectations for my wedding day. The attention to care to not only myself but all family members and party members was impeccable. The organization and leadership day of from Jena highly attributes to the perfection and smoothness of our wedding. She was there late the night before and there bright and early the day of to make sure everything we wanted was done correctly and done timely. She made sure to keep to our schedule and even if there were any bumps in our timeline, she handed it for us. She paid incredible attention to detail to both our wedding and after party, as we had a completely different themed event also at the venue slightly after our wedding ended. I’m sure this made it more difficult than usual for the staff, but Jena handled the organization of all of our decor and organization of the staff and people involved like a seasoned professional. The food from Season’s Catering was divine and some of the best food we can recall having at a wedding or other event in a very, very long time. Our guests cannot stop talking about how absolutely delicious all of the food was, how gorgeous and unique the venue was, and how it was one of the best weddings they have attended. From the bartender to the servers, everyone was so sweet and seemed so excited to be working our wedding day. I didn’t know exactly what to expect planning my first wedding, but was so thankful for having Bylinda and having Jena from the venue to handle everything. Any event at The Edison Downtown is worth every penny. We cannot thank everyone enough for all of the effort they put into our special day.

I have been a working artist for over eight years but a makeup lover since before I can remember.. I chose to pursue my passion and graduated from esthetics school in 2017, officially becoming a licensed esthetician/makeup artist shortly after. I have found my groove in freelance bridal makeup (with boudoir and other fun projects too). From the most simple glams to full transformative glam, I love the creativity and artistry of it all. Being chosen as your bridal artist means more than you can imagine. Thank you for considering trusting me with this honor.

Jenna is THE BEST. She is funny, caring, so chill, and really talented. She did my makeup and three of my bridal party. I was so impressed by how we all asked for different styles of makeup but she nailed every single one! She put me at ease when my nerves were acting up, helped us find my phone when it went missing for like and hour and a half () and even got some great pics of my daughter! She’s just a joy and I wish I could get to hang out with her again!!! She will not disappoint you and she’ll make you feel like a million bucks on your big day!!! Thank you, Jenna!!!

Your wedding day goes by in a blur—but the memories don’t have to. I love capturing the real moments, emotions, and details of your special day so that through photos and short videos, you can relive exactly how it felt.

She stayed in touch with us throughout the planning process, always responsive and ready to answer our questions. Dana really listened to what mattered to us—I wanted my wedding jewelry to be highlighted in our photos, and she made that happen beautifully. On our wedding day, she captured all the small moments we didn't want to forget, from getting ready to the quiet details between big events. What impressed us most was how she made us feel so important and special, treating our day like it was her own.

I’m the photographer/designer behind Redesignwithme.

I’m here for the real moments, the awkward laughs, and all the in-between magic. I like to keep things fun, stress-free, and very YOU.

Rachel was such a great photographer for both our engagement photos and our wedding day! She truly captured the important moments that make us who we each are; Ian on the piano and me on the dance floor with our friends and family listening to him play! At our engagement shoot, it was so cold, but Rachel made it so much fun with her little jokes and personality. She did a great job on the wedding day getting all of our family shots before the ceremony. We would highly suggest Rachel for any photography needs!

We are Morgan and Taylor, identical twin wedding florists based just outside of Albany NY! We started Twin Dahlias in 2019 when we felt a calling to reconnect with nature, its beauty and the magical moments it creates. So, we dug right in! We love connecting with each of our couples, collaborating on a beautiful vision and bringing it to life on your wedding day. Some of our favorite things: Big bouquets, flower crowns and dogs (please let us make a flower collar for your puppy).

Working with Twin Dahlias was truly a highlight of our wedding planning process. We shared a few inspo photos but trusted the professionals to bring it to life and they did all that and more. During our design meetings they worked with us to really visualize how our centerpieces would look and took the consideration to help make sure the heights of our arbor would work with our height differences! Not only are they great to work with but the flowers themselves were so beautiful and it was clear they took time and care to make the most perfect arrangements.

We got married in June 2024, and had Thaddeus as our DJ. Mackenzie took care of the photo-booth. Over the course of the 9 months leading up to the wedding I probably had 4 or 5 calls with Thaddeus to give him the general vibe we were looking for & work out details. He was professional, honest, and gave great feedback. We had many specific asks and Thaddeus made sure all of our wants fit into his plan. Once the party was going, we gave Thaddeus the creative freedom to do his thing & make sure our guests had a good time. He totally delivered. I absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a DJ that can keep the party going! Mackenzie was great to work with as well. Empire State Events got more backdrops to choose from in the middle of our planning, so she gave me the option to switch! I’m glad we did, the eucalyptus backdrop fit perfectly with our vision. Mackenzie was incredibly friendly & ready to help anyone that needed assistance. Our guests loved the photo-booth & our kids/nieces & nephews were entertained too! Win-win!

Their attention to detail is unmatched, and their ability to truly listen to our vision and elevate it in ways we didn’t even think of was incredible. As someone who plans large events for a living, I wasn’t sure I needed a wedding planner—but after meeting with Katie and Casey, and understanding all that they offer, I quickly realized just how much I did. Their expertise, organization, and creativity brought everything to life in a way we never could have done on our own. They also helped us put together the most incredible team of vendors, many of whom came from their recommendations, and every single one was amazing. The value they bring through their network alone is huge. They handled every detail so seamlessly that we were able to be fully present and enjoy the entire weekend with our family and friends. What stood out just as much was how they treated our guests, they made our family and friends feel so special and comfortable, like they were their own. The KOWE team goes above and beyond in ways you don’t even realize until you’re in it. I genuinely don’t know how people get married without them!!! I truly loved working with them and honestly miss it! We are so incredibly grateful for Katie & Casey and we could not recommend them more highly to anyone considering a wedding planner (or honestly even if you’re not, I strongly encourage you to meet with them and see just how much they can elevate your entire experience!!)

We only needed to tour one venue, and it was Blenheim. After our initial walkthrough of the space, we were convinced that this was everything that we could want in a venue and then some. Having over 12 years of wedding planning experience, Min and Morten offered us assurance that our wedding day would be executed beautifully- and it was. The Blenheim family were incredibly detail-oriented, clear, and responsive during the planning process. They guided us through multiple virtual meetings, providing extensive planning documents to ensure our day would run smoothly. As a person that doesn't love planning, they supported me and offered suggestions- making sure that the day would flow effortlessly. Their natural, open, and beautifully rustic venue was the ideal location for our special celebration; the venue itself reflected us as a couple and we have not stopped receiving compliments on the venue and the attentive and personable staff at Blenheim. The food was absolutely delicious - our guests raved about the amazing appetizers during cocktail hour. We had many last-minute changes and the Blenheim team did not miss a beat in executing our every wish.

We were beyond lucky to have three separate shoots with Lindsey for our engagement, courthouse elopement, and wedding day with each one being more stunning than the last. She listened to exactly the style of photos we wanted and organized the shot lists with our family and friends on our wedding day with ease. She is excellently priced for the stunning galleries you receive, she is prompt, always available when we needed to check in and as a plus, the site she uses for her galleries is so user friendly and we have all of our professional photos in one place. We could go on and on about how special these photos are to us. Lindsey does not disappoint and we look forward to hopefully having other photo opportunities with her in the future!

SoundFormula Entertainment, Mike, and DJ Dave Ali are the greatest. If you are looking to book a DJ then your work is done and you have to book with SoundFormula. Mike is extremely professional and organized and was helpful with every step of our wedding. Dave Ali was our DJ for our wedding day and was legitimately the best. He went above and beyond our expectations and did everything that we asked. He edited our first dance song to be perfect and checked in with us throughout the night. We got multiple compliments from all of our guests about how great the music was and our dance floor was exactly what we envisioned. Thank you Mike and Dave!
