  • Photographer

  • Serves Valatie, 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.

Words can't even begin to describe how wonderful Chris is! He was a referral from another friend, and he did not disappoint. From the beginning he was easy to work with, flexible, and had a creative mind. He not only makes the most of the environment he's given, but truly embraces it, which leads to the most stunning photos (and experience!). I'm fairly certain we had all 4 seasons, and every type of weather one could think of in a weekend, and you would have NO idea based off the outcome of the photos. Chris is truly a gem, and I couldn't recommend someone more to do your photos. If you want someone who will work with you, listen to you/also give opinions, party with you, take advantage of any situation, and take the most stunning photos, then Chris is definitely your photographer!

I can't express how grateful we are for our incredible wedding videographer, Steven! He was not only incredibly talented but also the sweetest person to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every shot he took.  He beautifully captured all the special moments of our day, and finding someone who could provide high-quality video, drone footage, and 8mm film was a dream come true. When I finally stumbled upon this gem from Virginia, I knew I had found my guy! And I felt compelled to write this review even before receiving our final video because of how much we enjoyed working with Steven and his colleague!

Speaking candidly, my (now) husband and I went into the photography search with our guard up as one of our best friends is a photography. But after searching around and a few rounds of communications I knew Rima would be the style and demeanor of a wedding day vendor we were searching for. From the beginning she was easy going yet extremely organized and on top of communication. When it came to the day of I don’t want to pick favorites but Rima was by far our favorite vendor. She truly helped add to the calmness of the day (minus one small incident but she helped keep the party in like and calm even then!) and her direction and help in posing and being loose showed in the final product. Would 10/10 use Rima again and hope to have the chance to recommend her to friends in the future.

My heart is so full knowing we found the perfect person to capture all the love and beauty of that day, and that we made a friend in her. If you're like me and care a lot about meshing well with your vendors - she's your girl. From the first chat we had I knew she was going to fit in nicely, but during our first phone call I knew for certain I had made the right call in hiring her.

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.

Judson first photographed weddings through the lens of photojournalism & history covering LGBTQ+ wedding for fellow queer couples, something that still informs her work and approach today.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! When we decide to have a wedding and not elope we knew our budget would be tight, but the photographer was the one thing we weren’t willing to compromise on. The catering and the venue could be modest, but our photographs will be part of our big day forever. Judson is the most kind and professional person we have worked with for our wedding. She was able to assist us through out the whole engagement through to the wedding day. Her artistic talent speaks for itself in the quality of our pictures. We couldn’t of asked for a more lovely person to work with. She was able to help us express our love and capture the true beauty of how we were loved.

Available for freelance opportunities across a wide range of events, I’m here to help you preserve your most meaningful moments!

From the moment we first spoke with Jessica of Moments by Mellen, we were impressed by her professionalism and passion for capturing the most special moments of my Bridal Shower. The quality of their work is simply stunning - the photos are beautifully composed, with a trendy and romantic aesthetic that perfectly reflects our style as a couple. Jessica expertly captured every meaningful moment. I am overjoyed with the results and will treasure these photos for a lifetime. Jessica was a true delight to work with, and we highly recommend Moments by Mellen to any couple looking for a talented and dedicated wedding photographer.

I'll be your personal cheerleader and the third wheel you never knew you needed! You can bet I'll be saying "PERFECT" more times than you can count. And honestly, I might even add an extra dramatic gasp or two. Get ready for a fun, stress free experience filled with laughs, high fives, and lots of "PERFECT" moments that will have you smiling for years to come.

Nichole was a dream come true for both our engagement shoot and our wedding day! She was the kindest, easiest person to work with and felt like an instant friend. She arrived early, she stayed late to edit photos and be sure I didn’t leave my wedding venue without a sneak peek and kept in constant contact about our photos. I received our whole wedding album earlier than promised and still communicate with her to this day and look forward to more photo shoots with her! Nichole is a must have on your wedding day! I highly recommend her to everyone I know!
