Kozmo Photography 

5.0

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.

From our first interaction, Kevin at Kozmo Photography was a joy to work with. His communication was clear, quick, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - Kevin has a keen eye for detail and an intuitive sense of what will make for the most special, focused shots. On our wedding day, Kevin expertly captured all the most important moments between our loved ones without us even having to say a word of direction. I would never work with anyone else and I truly cannot recommend Kozmo Photography enough. Kevin made the day easy, fun, and had a clear vision of what he was looking for even when I didn't. I'm over the moon with the final photos and will cherish them forever.

Kristen Renee Photography

Schenectady, NY
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography is here to celebrate your unique story. From Albany to anywhere your love takes you, we specialize in documenting authentic moments for all couples and families.

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!

T. L. Holloway 

5.0

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 was the perfect band for our June garden wedding. Steve, John, Peter, and Dylan are fantastic people, extraordinary musicians, and organized planners. These four showed off their versatility and stamina by playing throughout our whole wedding day — from ceremony music with custom renditions of some of our favorite folk songs, through the cocktail hour and dinner with smooth jazz and Sinatra, and closing out the night with faster jazz mixed with classic American and contemporary tunes to keep everyone dancing. They graciously provided sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony, and Steve artfully handled wedding party introductions during the reception as well as various announcements. Throughout the night we noticed them checking their sound from various locations — that attention to detail and care typified our experience, from our first planning call until their last song. They made everything easy for us, were extremely generous with their time during planning, and their renditions of songs we selected were beyond what we imagined was possible. Our guests (and us!) were simply enamored! As lovers of jazz and classic American tunes (but not necessarily dancing), these guys had us and our guests dancing all night. They matched our style and energy level perfectly. We received countless guest compliments on their behalf, though the credit is all theirs. Whenever we think back on our wedding day, their music will always be a cherished part of it! We can’t recommend enough — or thank enough — T.L. Holloway.

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!!!

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.

My husband and I had our wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm this past weekend 10/26/2024 and it was an absolute dream. Not only was it the dreamiest wedding because we got married in front of all of the people we love, but because of the absolutely beautiful venue and the team that brought it to life. Morten & Min, the owners were so helpful, kind and just the brightest lights from the moment we met them when we toured the venue through the planning phase and our wedding day. They clearly have a very buttoned up and efficient process, which showed the day of. Now let me talk about the rest of staff … they are AMAZING. We worked with Lawrence and Rosie the weeks leading up to our wedding and the day of and not only did they go above and beyond at their jobs, they truly seemed so happy to be there. There were a number of other team members behind the scenes that helped bring together a seamless wedding (we barely even noticed them - in a good way!) so thank you to the team. This includes the chefs cooking it up in the kitchen, while we didn’t see you … we were told by friends and family how delicious the food was / it was the best wedding food they ever had. The risotto…. Oh my was it delicious!! Another amazing benefit of Blenheim Hill Farm was their recommended babysitter, Victoria - she watched 5 of the kids who attended ceremony but not reception right on the grounds. She made arts and crafts and carved pumpkins with them! The parents and kids were very happy with her. Lastly, all we have to say is….. GET MARRIED HERE!!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner Sky and I had the dream summer wedding we envisioned at Seven Ponds. For our wedding we wanted to emulate these weekend trips we do upstate with a close group of friends and just make it bigger to include our family. Seven Ponds farm provided our two requirements of what we were looking for - a big house that could fit all our friends and a swimming pond right on the property. We also really appreciated that we didn't need to hire a wedding planner and could utilize the venues resources for all the planning aspects. We really appreciated how the Seven Ponds staff let us do our own thing throughout the weekend for a really relaxed environment, but then whenever we needed them they were right there helping with things like doing a practice run of the ceremony and answering specific questions about the house etc. It was also so wonderful that the staff were able to handle things like setting up the tables and the candles for us for the wedding dinner. Overall the forms and calls for the planning process were really helpful. We did have a little frustration at the wedding tasting as we thought it was an opportunity to ask questions about the food and overall found out that they really don't want you asking many questions and would prefer you to just read the written packet they provide without interacting in person with questions. I would also recommend being well versed on the packet you purchased as they won't be able to answer questions about what packet you bought. This was a bit different than we expected and knowing what I know now I might recommend not bringing family or friends to the tasting or otherwise just preparing them to just fill out the paperwork quietly as us not realizing this made for a more difficult tasting experience. There was also one staff member at the tasting who was a bit rude to our family members and I was so worried that this negative energy would be reflected at our wedding so I asked for a different wedding coordinator to lead our wedding. Overall the impersonal nature of the tasting also just made me really worried that the wedding would have the same feel and so I wanted to include this to note that while the tasting process wasn't as personal this was not the case at the wedding and the wedding atmosphere was really lovely. After the tasting I asked for Rosie to be our lead wedding coordinator as she had a much warmer energy and I can't recommend Rosie enough. She truly made our wedding experience. If you're looking for a wedding coordinator who has a graceful upbeat energy, stays calm and is easy to communicate with definitely ask for Rosie. There was a big storm on the day of our wedding and Rosie was so helpful staying calm and telling me to not loose hope about doing the ceremony outside. Morten was also really great with a specific weather device he had that allowed us to see when we had a good window to do the ceremony outside and very happy to say it all worked out and we got our dream outdoor ceremony. Overall I really got the wedding I dreamed of and we had such a relaxed and personal atmosphere. We really appreciated all the work the staff did to set up the wedding which allowed us to really just have fun, enjoy and not worry about logistical details. We so appreciated the flower package the venue provided for setting up the flowers and the bonfire packages. Overall we loved our wedding so much and are so happy we went with Seven Ponds! :)

I’m Kristin aka Kal... I live in a beautiful but hard to identify area just north of the Catskills and south of Albany, east of Oneonta and Cooperstown. It’s close to where I grew up and where my family lives in the Catskills. I love EVERYTHING about a wedding day; the anticipation, the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, and the simple fact that everyone you know is gathered to celebrate with you. I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples and friends and family and it gives me so much joy. I want you to have the BEST day!! So tell me about your loves, your plans, and let’s start telling your story!

Kristin was AMAZING! Our wedding pictures came out absolutely stunning, I’m obsessed with them, and the photos are even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Kristin is also so friendly, kind, and is great with her communication. The pictures are just amazing. Before working with Kristin, my husband and I were definitely camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we felt ready for the wedding. I highly recommend Kristin!

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

When you book with Becca you get the sweetest, most kind-hearted, and dedicated person. She listened to our thoughts and ideas to create the most beautiful gallery. I trusted Becca 1000% with making sure that our photos even in the rain came out so beautiful! She makes you feel seen, confident, and relaxed to capture all the most amazing moments. The raw and emotional moments and truly captured us as a couple. Our wedding was personalized to our relationship and Becca was able to capture our love so perfectly!!!
