We were so happy with working with him, and everyone at the event has commented on how great the photographer was throughout the event. After getting our photos FOUR DAYS after the wedding, we could not be more pleased! The turnaround on the edited photos was unreal, and the fully edited ones that we received exactly matched our desired look (dark and moody).

Big thanks to Matt and Enchanted Celebration!”

Wedding Photography by George

I specialize in capturing your story with an attentive eye and artistic precision. From weddings and engagements to intimate family moments, I transform fleeting experiences into timeless images that reflect emotion and narrative. Each photo is crafted to showcase your personality, connections, and the essence of the occasion, with a commitment to delivering results that match your vision.

“We booked George to capture our wedding day at an outdoor venue in northern MA. As a photographer myself I have high standards when it comes to photos, so I was very selective when making my choice. But I'm happy to report that we made a great choice with George as his work is top notch. Before the wedding we had 2 phone calls to plan out the many scenes we'd want him to capture. We also shared some light guidance on editing style, which he happily incorporated. On the day of the wedding George arrived promptly (early even, which was good) despite the fact he was driving many hours from CT. George did a great job making people feel comfortable in front of the camera. He seemed very experienced as throughout the day he seamlessly transitioned from the foreground to the background as needed. He was never in the way, but always nearby and ready to jump in and capture whatever was happening. He also captured a variety of types of shots, from the wide, establishing shots to the perfectly composed closeups of intimate moments - with lots of extra detail shots and plenty of candids too. For the ceremony in particular, he displayed his great eye and quick reaction time to document every moment and every angle, including crowd reactions. He came well prepared too with 2 Sony mirrorless cameras and a large off-camera flash to ensure even lighting. From our 8-hour shoot he provided over 1,400 fully edited photos (each 61MP) via a Google Drive download link. We were extremely please with the quality and speed of our portfolio (fully delivered within 2 weeks). On top of that, George happily provided me with the full edited portfolio in TIFF file format, per my request. The file sizes are much larger so I gave him a 512GB USB drive which he loaded and shipped back to me. I really can't say enough good things about George. So just book him now and I know you'll be pleased with the results!”

I am a Professional Journalist and Wedding Photographer from the Hudson Valley and NYC with more than 13 years and over 1,100 Weddings of experience, from most cultural and religious backgrounds you can find in New York :) Now Booking the last few of 2027 and 2028.

“There aren't enough stars to give Eddie at Anecdote Photography. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie! Like most couples, we wanted beautiful wedding photos—but what we didn't expect was to gain someone who would become such an essential part of our wedding day. From our very first phone call, Eddie made us feel completely comfortable. Neither of us are naturals in front of a camera, but he guided us just enough to make everything feel effortless while still capturing genuine, candid moments. The result was a gallery that perfectly reflects who we are and lets us relive every emotion of the day. On the wedding day itself, Eddie absolutely blew us away. He thoughtfully organized every family photo so nothing was missed, kept everyone moving without ever making us feel rushed, wrangled family members with ease, got genuine smiles out of everyone, and even cued our DJ and vendors to keep the entire timeline on track. It seemed like every time there was a problem, Eddie had already solved it before I even knew it existed. What impressed me most wasn't just his incredible talent behind the camera—it was his professionalism, attention to detail, and anticipation. Even though we had a day-of coordinator, Eddie played just as important a role in keeping the day running smoothly. He allowed us to be fully present and actually enjoy our wedding instead of worrying about logistics. And then there are the photos. They are everything we hoped for and more—a perfect mix of timeless portraits, emotional candid moments, and so much fun. Every image brings us right back to that day. If you're considering Anecdote Photography, stop looking and book Eddie. I can honestly say he was one of the best investments we made for our wedding, and I would recommend him to absolutely anyone without hesitation. Thank you, Eddie, for capturing our day so beautifully and for being so much more than a photographer. We are forever grateful.”

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

“Where do I even begin with Jess? I had the pleasure of working with her some time ago, and when it came to choosing someone for our special day, I couldn’t have picked anyone better. Her work is absolutely impeccable, but beyond that, she’s one of the most thoughtful and caring people you’ll ever meet. She made the entire process so easy for us and truly became a highlight of our wedding planning. Jess captured both our engagement photos and wedding photos, and we couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. If you’re looking for a photographer, stop now she’s one of the best in the business.

Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story. I aim to capture the little details and authentic moments that make your day uniquely yours.

“From our very first email exchange to the moment we received our photos, every step of working with Rich was an incredible experience. He always responded quickly, answered every question with patience, and offered thoughtful suggestions I hadn’t even considered. His preparation before the wedding gave us confidence that everything would run smoothly, and it truly did. Richard was exceptionally professional, respectful, kind, and understanding. On our wedding day, he brought a sense of calm amid the chaos. He blended seamlessly into the flow of events—always present when needed, but never intrusive—and coordinated effortlessly with our families, bridal party, and other vendors. He was also incredibly organized with the shots we needed, keeping us on track without ever making us feel rushed. Richard delivered our full gallery exactly one month after our wedding and just before Thanksgiving so we could share the photos with our families over the holiday. It meant so much to us and we were thrilled to receive our pictures so quickly. Looking through the gallery felt like reliving the entire day, moment by moment. He captured the vibe and essence of our wedding perfectly. I especially appreciated his ideas and direction, and his artistic eye genuinely blew us away. He noticed angles, lighting, and emotional moments, capturing everything from the big highlights to the smallest in-between moments. The pictures he took of us, our families, and our venue were stunning—so much so that multiple friends texted us saying the photos looked like they belonged in Vogue. That is entirely to Richard’s credit. Choosing Richard as our wedding photographer was, without question, one of the best decisions I made in the entire wedding process. I am endlessly grateful to have these photos to cherish forever. Choose Rich as your wedding photographer - you will not regret it!!!!”

I'm Matthew, a wedding photographer based in Garrison, NY. With a decade as a wedding photographer and 15 years as an educator, I bring two things to every wedding: the ability to document moments as they happen, and the calm to handle whatever the day brings. I prepare carefully, communicate beforehand, and stay present when it's busy. My style is mostly documentary. I blend into the wedding, observing and documenting moments as they happen rather than staging them. Feedback I hear most often is that couples weren't aware of me, but that I got everything. I work with all couples and celebrate every kind of love, and every kind of marriage.

“My Husband & I had the pleasure of working with Matt from our Engagement Shoot to our Wedding day 10/12/24! He is so organized, creative, and fun to shoot with! Our wedding photos are above and beyond anything we hoped for. Matt truly captured our vision start to finish. I can’t say enough about how professional Matt is and the quality of work that he provides. He worked with us step by step creating and altering our wedding day timeline making sure everything fell into place perfectly. Matt captured the most special day of our lives, We are forever grateful for the beautiful pictures he took. So glad that we chose him! Highly recommend Matthew Rigby Photography!”

At Portraits by Lisa Marie, photography is about preserving the moments that make your love story uniquely yours. Based in the Hudson Valley, I specialize in documentary-style wedding photography with timeless, true-to-color imagery. My goal is to capture your day naturally as it unfolds, the laughter, happy tears, and quiet in-between moments that often mean the most. I focus on creating a relaxed experience so couples feel comfortable and present while I document their story with care, creativity, and heart. Your wedding photographs should feel authentic, emotional, and timeless memories you will cherish for generations!

“Lisa was hands down one of my top vendors for my September 2024 wedding. Ultimately when booking vendors we had two non- negotiables- affordability and character. I met with several photographers before her and either their pricing was not within our range or I didn’t feel any “connection” with them. When I met Lisa over FaceTime I was in Target with my two toddlers because I had my schedule mixed up. She laughed about it and we were able to have a productive meeting despite the mix up. I hired Lisa not long after and I am so glad I did. Besides from being a phenomenal photographer, her personality is what put the cherry on top. She is detail oriented and assertive - like myself- and had a very efficient way of photographing our bridal party where we were even able to enjoy our cocktail hour without having a first look. She was excellent and extremely patient with our two kids. Our family loved her as did we! We were even able to get her out on the dance floor for a bit! We wish we didn’t live so far away otherwise we would be using her as our photographer a whole lot. Thank you Lisa for being such an important part of our day and for having such an incredible heart.”

Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

I knew instantly that I wanted to work with them for my wedding as it just felt so warm and relaxing to be in their presence. My husband and I wanted to feel like ourselves and have fun with the photos and that is exactly what they delivered. I was never stressed about the photos or the video because I knew Megan and Kenneth had it completely covered. They were extremely responsive over email and zoom calls in the months before the wedding and would answer all questions promptly. They even provided extremely helpful suggestions and built the photography timeline for the wedding so it never felt like we were running behind or losing time.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

“One of our very close friends is a wedding photographer, so when we started planning our own wedding, we asked her for advice on picking a photographer since she would be a guest at ours. She sent us several recommendations of different photographers and different styles, but as soon as we saw Erica's work, we were hooked! Since then, we became so close with her because she is so kind and dedicated to making every step of the wedding journey special and exactly what we wanted. We got our photos back so quickly and we still can't stop looking at them! She helped the entire day run smoothly and now we have such beautiful memories that will last us our lifetimes. We would book Erica again in a heartbeat and do the whole thing again if we could!”

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & candid photography uses innovative techniques and unique ideas to get photos that make you look twice. Whether you're saying vows in your backyard or having a 3-day adventure wedding in the rainforest, I'll catch every spontaneous moment of joy and laughter—and plan a few unique shots on top of it all.

“We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!”

She was helpful and prompt with every question we had, especially since we weren't local to our venue—she went out of her way to give us engagement shoot recommendations and suggestions for things to do in the area. Julia has this wonderful ability to be both professional and relaxed at the same time, and her sense of humor kept us at ease throughout the entire process. On our wedding day, she captured something truly special: when my mom walked me down the aisle laughing and crying, Julia didn't just photograph that moment between us—she also caught my groom's reaction and our guests' faces in the most tender way. She even took time to have my husband explain the details of his tie clip, watch, and cuff links so those meaningful pieces were documented beautifully. Julia's passion for her work really shines through in every photo, and we couldn't be happier with how she captured our day.”

I hold a special place in my heart for intimate weddings, destination weddings, elopements, and anything in nature. I believe in the happy coexistence between posed and candid photography, and live for them both. I thrive off of positive energy and always promise to bring my own. For each couple I work with, I create a detailed and extensive timeline, posed list, and photo itinerary to ensure a smooth, relaxing, organized, and absolutely magical day. I’ve got a case of wanderlust and adore nature. Let’s explore.

“Working with Caitlinn for our wedding was an AMAZING experience. We couldn’t be happier with our photos! I told her from the get go that my fiancé (now husband!) and I never take good photos, but she assured me that our photos would look natural and not overly posed, which is what we wanted. Caitlinn responded promptly to every email and worked with us to create an efficient timeline for our very large family and bridal party. We had four small children in our bridal party and Caitlinn handled them like an expert and got some amazing shots of all of them! She is incredibly organized and best of all, we received a “sneak preview” of our photo gallery one or two days after the wedding, and the entire photo gallery within a week of the wedding! And the pictures, OMG are they beautiful. The hardest part is choosing which photos to put in our album - they are all that good! (But we get to keep the full digital photo gallery which is being displayed on a digital frame). I particularly appreciated how “unobtrusive” her style is - especially during the very emotional moments like our first look - we didn’t “feel” like we were being photographed so we were able to enjoy the moment and act naturally. She captured all of the big moments and the small details too and her artistic eye created beautiful shots of everything from getting ready all the way to the cake cutting and everything in between. Caitlinn is also an incredibly lovely person - her energy carries through in everything she does, and we felt so comfortable from her right from the get go. Truly I can’t say enough about this wonderful photographer and person - she created beautiful memories for us that we will cherish forever.”

While we already knew they were the right choice for us when we first chatted, on the big day, they confirmed that they were the slam dunk, best choice to be our photographers.”

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

“We honestly can't recommend Nina enough! She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding day, and choosing her was one of the best decisions we made. We had never had professional photos taken before, and Nina immediately made us feel so comfortable and at ease. Our engagement session was such a fun experience and gave us so much confidence going into our wedding day. On our wedding day, Nina was everything you could hope for in a photographer. She was such a calming presence, kept everything running smoothly, and made taking photos feel effortless and fun. She captured every moment so naturally while making us feel completely present throughout the day. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away. Nina captured our day so beautifully, and we will cherish these memories forever. We are so grateful we chose her and couldn't recommend her more highly!”

If you're looking for someone to preserve your memories in a candid and true-to-life style, then let's talk! I love capturing all aspects of your wedding day from fun portraits of you and your partner to candid moments among your guests. I'm going to work with you to figure out what package fits your needs and what exactly you want to capture on your wedding day. I love making photos fun and easy because your wedding day is a special moment, not a photo shoot!

“Having Tara by my side on my wedding as an absolute dream. Our wedding would not have gone as smooth if I didn't have Tara with me to remind me what we had coming up next. Having done an amazing job with our engagement photos, we knew our wedding photos would come out just as great. She did a great job leading us to picturesque places at our venue and guiding us through what poses would look perfect. She captured every emotion we had that day and I'm so happy to have all these moments taken by her.”

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

“Love, Lucy Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Their communication before, during, and after the wedding was very good, making the entire process painless. Raquel and Bethany, the photographers, took amazing photos throughout the day, capturing all the special moments with a creative and fun flair. They did an incredible job with the pictures, which were ready for us just two weeks after our wedding day. We could not be happier with the quality of their work and the value they provided for our special day. Highly recommend Love, Lucy Photography!”

I'm Carroll, a photographer for those who love to live a happy, fun life! I'm married to the most amazing man and together we hike, travel, eat a lot of Chinese food, and watch WAY too many Friends reruns (which explains my crazy love for coffee). I'm also a fur-mom to the two most adorable (and spoiled) little fur-babies, Levi and Chloe. The more you get to know me, you’ll realize how much I love the simple moments of life and to make the most of it all!

“Before I even got engaged I knew I wanted Carroll to capture my wedding day. I am very lucky to have seen Carroll’s talent from the very beginning in high school and watch it blossom over time. After working with Carroll for the last 10 months, I’ve grown to appreciate her work on a whole other level. Carroll truly was my calm during a crazy storm. As a panicky bride, she could take me from a 10 to a 2 in one conversation. It rained my entire wedding day from the second I opened my eyes and it never bothered me once because I knew Carroll would make it work (and did she ever). Having Carroll, Ashley, and Erin alongside us on our wedding day was nothing short of amazing. They captured the true happiness that was there all day. I got all the outside pictures I wanted even with the all day rain (with me and my dress remaining surprisingly dry). I’m astounded how Carroll manages to be so professional and personable at the same time. We can not thank her and her team enough for everything. Our day truly wouldn’t have had the same outcome without Carroll Tice Photography.”

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

“From our first conversation with Katie Ellen Photography, we knew we'd made the right choice. Katie was responsive to every question we had and paid close attention to all the details that mattered to us, while keeping the whole process fun and stress-free. On our wedding day, she captured beautiful pictures that we'll treasure forever, and she went above and beyond by being helpful with so many little things that made the day run smoothly. The quality of her work is phenomenal, and the whole experience felt easy from start to finish. We can't recommend Katie Ellen Photography enough to any couple looking for a photographer who truly cares about getting it right.”

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.

“Cappy Hotchkiss Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, their communication style was friendly, responsive, and clear. They took the time to understand our vision and made sure we felt at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - their photos have a nostalgic, natural, and emotional quality that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. Cappy's skill and creativity shone through, even in the challenging backgrounds of our intimate venue in Greenport. They beautifully documented every moment, from the getting ready shots to the ceremony and reception. The final images are timeless, memorable, and absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Cappy Hotchkiss Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.”

I have been photographing weddings for 13 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

“We are so glad we chose Jordan as our photographer for our wedding 1/28/24. She was so much fun to work with and took such gorgeous photos for us!”
