  • Photographer

  • Serves Vails Gate, NY

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in New York and Connecticut. I capture moments that feel alive—genuine, emotional, and meaningful. My goal is to create photos that bring you back to the emotions of that day, reminding you of the love, commitment, and joy that made it unforgettable. When I’m not with the camera, you’ll find me painting, refreshing my home decor, hunting for vintage treasure, exploring new places, or taking care of my plants family (currently over a dozen and counting!).

I am so grateful she was there for my big day—her presence made everything feel effortless and truly special. From the very beginning, she was incredibly thoughtful and professional. Before the shoot, we met to discuss our ideas, and she took the time to truly understand our vision. Not only did she listen attentively, but she also shared her own creative suggestions based on her research, making everything even better than we had imagined. On the day of the shoot, having her there felt like having a trusted guide and a dear friend by my side, capturing beautiful moments in the most natural way. She created such a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that I never once worried about how the photos would turn out—I simply enjoyed the moment. Her presence on my ceremony day wasn’t just about taking pictures; she played a key role in making sure everything went smoothly. When we received the final photos, my husband and I were beyond thrilled. Each image felt like a window back to that magical day, filled with love and joy. We couldn’t stop looking at them! Her talent, patience, and warmth made this experience truly unforgettable. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who can capture not just pictures, but emotions and memories that last a lifetime.

We can’t say enough good things about them! From the start, they felt like part of the crew, super chill, easy to work with, and just fun to be around. On the big day, they somehow managed to be everywhere without ever feeling like they were in the way. They caught all the laughs, happy tears, and little moments we didn’t even realize were happening. And when we saw the photos/video? Absolutely blown away.

My personal hobbies include rock climbing, learning French, fine-tuning my espresso skills, and drinking the best wine I can get my hands on (yes, if you're getting married at a winery, I'm interested!). I've been photographing weddings since 2009 (that's 15 years!) and I'm still not even the least bit bored. Hell, I still cry at weddings on a regular basis. Staying emotional and in the moment is what allows me to capture the moments that matter most to my couples.

Having been in a fair number of weddings and as a guest at countless others, I’ve had many experiences with wedding photographers, and Rima beats them all by a mile. She is very nice and extremely professional, and always knows how to get the perfect shot while seamlessly blending in with your guests. She also got us through the wedding party/family photos quickly and efficiently, which I really appreciated. Her videographer Robert was also fantastic - so kind, courteous, and professional! Rima also shot our engagement photos - she woke up insanely early to get sunrise pictures of us at Central Park, which were absolutely gorgeous. She is extremely flexible and patient, great qualities in a photographer! She also got us our previews of both our wedding and engagement pictures really quickly, which was fantastic, as we were so excited to see them. Rima was the first vendor we chose and we are so happy we were able to book her. If you book Rima, you won’t be disappointed!

We had Emmet and Naomi for our indoor December wedding, the venue was a log cabin style lodge. They were a perfect match and we were so glad we chose them. They learned one of our favorite songs for the opening to our ceremony, playing a beautiful instrumental version of it. Our guests loved the music, that it was accessible for everyone, young and old alike. We had toddlers dancing in front of the band, but the guests seated closest to the band during dinner could still carry on a conversation easily. A lot of people really appreciated this, that they could add ambiance and energy without overpowering you. We especially want to thank them for traveling through the blizzard conditions to be there that weekend. We were hoping for a snowy winter wedding, and we got all the snow we could handle that weekend! The Poor Cousins really helped everything come together for us, and we would absolutely recommend them to anybody!

We cannot say enough good things about Shelby! She is one of the warmest and kindest people we have ever met. I HATE being photographed, and my husband and I cannot tolerate being the center of attention. Somehow, she made the wedding photo shoot so enjoyable that we were sad to leave.

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!!

Hello couples! Ive spent a lot of my career working in TV and Professional Sports all over the world but Ive always had a connection with the wedding photography world and decided to go full time with that a few years ago! Id be honored to shoot your special day and seek out every moment I can for you, your family and your friends!

I can’t say enough about how incredible our experience was with Eric as our wedding photographer. Located at the Jersey Shore, where most photographers focus on sunny beach weddings, I was looking for something different. Our wedding took place in the fall, full of rich earth tones and a fun, edgy vibe that centered not just on romance, but on the presence of our children. It was important to us that the day felt authentic, emotional, and full of movement. And, just to make it more fun, ours was a Halloween wedding. We had a formal ceremony followed by a costume reception, and Eric embraced every bit of it. He didn’t just roll with our unique requests—he elevated them. He found the perfect location: a hidden gem that was edgy, raw, and exactly what I didn’t even know I was hoping for. The backdrop had this cinematic, timeless feel that makes you wonder “where in the world could they be,” which paired beautifully with our nontraditional theme. Photographing four young kids is no easy task, especially on such a big day. But Eric’s speed, patience, and instincts were unbelievable. He captured fleeting moments—tiny glances, quick smiles, the chaos and joy of our family—without ever losing sight of the romance and connection between me and my husband. Every image tells a story. Every photo feels felt. If you’re looking for a photographer who goes beyond the typical and brings a true artistic eye to your day—especially one that includes children, unconventional details, or an untraditional setting—Eric is your guy. We will treasure these photos forever.

Nichole was an absolute dream to work with. Not only is she kind and personable, but she truly cares about her clients and making their day as special as possible. Her artistic eye is top notch and she captured every moment and then some from our wedding. We’re so grateful we got to work with her and we’d do it all over again if we had the chance. You can’t go wrong working with her and you’re guaranteed a seamless wedding day and beautiful pictures
