Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. I am a New York City-based photographer championing spaces where all joy is seen and celebrated. Originally from Indiana, I'm now based in Manhattan, where I live with my wife, Rosalie, and our cat, Ramsay. I have a formal background in theater and have been immensely privileged to work and train all over the world.

We were so blessed with fantastic vendors on our day, but Mary truly helped us bring the whole thing together. From the moment we chatted on the phone, we knew we were in great hands!! With her quote, she sent over a proposed timeline for the day and recommendations of timing / number of photographers-- we used this to quite literally plan our whole day timeline around, and we were never running low on time; everything felt according to plan and never rushed. (Family photos were SO smooth!) Her level of detail is so special, and we loved the photos captured of all the hard work we put in on the decorations, venue, etc. as well as the organic human moments filled with emotion, silliness and beyond! She makes you feel so comfortable and ease immediately, which helped bring out the sweetness and silliness in our couples photos. We also got the BEST reception photos and loved how much happened on the dance floor or at cocktail hour that we didn't even see happen (because, you know, you're a bit busy seeing everyone)! Could not have asked for a better photographer, and we're so happy we had her for our day.

George was very kind and communicative from the start. He was very flexible in our desire to move to a second location during cocktail hour and made the most of our short time there. He focused on capturing all of the photos we asked for along with really amazing candid shots of guests. He delivered a large amount of photos in short time frame. We can't recommend him enough.

Christopher Duggan Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (50 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $7,950
  • Serves Woodstock, NY

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Christopher Duggan Photography was exceptional in capturing our wedding day. His communication style was clear, easy, and warm throughout the entire process. The quality of the work and value was truly exceptional - Christopher and his team are incredibly talented photographers who have a knack for capturing real, artsy details and candid moments that showcase the uniqueness and beauty of our special day. As someone who is often less than thrilled to be in photos, I adore every single shot they took. Christopher and Danica were so embedded in our every moment, yet you had no idea they were there - that is true talent! We all felt completely at ease, and they helped us knock out family photos smoothly without any stress from upset flower girls or ring bearers. I wanted a not overly posed style but almost "lifestyle" and Christopher fit the bill perfectly. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

Kathryn Cooper Weddings

  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Woodstock, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you are looking for a photographer who will go above and beyond, you need to hire Kathryn! This woman did literally anything and everything to get the perfect shot. From crouching in the foliage to climbing on hotel chairs, she let nothing stop her - not even a wardrobe malfunction! Neither of us usually feels comfortable having our photo taken, but Kathryn was so comforting and made us feel genuinely at ease. She turned what could have been a nerve-wracking experience into a remarkably enjoyable process. Her eye for photography is beautifully creative. Not only did she bring props to enhance our pictures, but she was also completely down for any and all ideas we had! She also brought along a second photographer, Tara, who matched the lively, stress-free vibe seamlessly. We have only received our preview photos so far, but we are already completely blown away. We felt so honored to be chosen as one of her few clients for the year, and we cannot wait for the final gallery! Kathryn is a wonderful human being and a terrific photographer. We cannot recommend her skills highly enough!

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the start, Krutick Photography's communication was incredibly strong. Rich was extremely professional and attentive to ensuring he captured all the special moments, big and small, on our wedding day. The quality of their work is truly incredible - it was worth every penny we spent. Rich focused on the moments he knew were meaningful to us, but also made sure to capture all the little details and spontaneous joyful moments we didn't even realize were happening. He encouraged us to be ourselves throughout the process, making us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. The end result is a stunning collection of photos that beautifully tell the story of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with the work Krutick Photography did to preserve the memories of our special day. We could not recommend Rich enough!!

Matthew Rigby Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (26 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Woodstock, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Matthew Rigby Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding. Their communication style was clear and direct, which was very helpful given our tight timeline. The quality of their work was beautiful, perfectly capturing both our posed and spontaneous moments throughout the day. We had a Tamil Brahmin (Hindu) wedding with a long ceremony, and afterwards we only had about 20-30 minutes for couples portraits. But Matthew and his team went above and beyond, managing to take stunning photos that exceeded our expectations. It was his first time at the venue we chose and no one could tell. We are thrilled with how the pictures turned out and are so grateful to have such wonderful memories from our special day.

Choosing a wedding photographer is a huge task. You are trusting someone to capture every moment, make memories last a lifetime, and allow you to relive your day whenever you open those photos. From the first phone call with Lisa we knew that she was our perfect fit. Our energies melded perfectly at the engagement shoot and posing for a picture was never easier with her directing us. She made our big day flawless she was always there for the perfect moment and photo without ever being in the way or having to search.

We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of Megan and Kenneth’s work. From the engagement shoot through the wedding, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They’re great at taking direction if you have requests but are also assertive and creative in setting up poses and backdrops. Having two photographers resulted in TONS of shots and adequate getting ready time with both bride and groom. They’re also the nicest people and delivered the photos promptly. Our friends and family were floored by how beautiful our photos are. Definitely recommend!

  • Serves Woodstock, NY

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. ✨

Awarded Best of Zola
The day we met with Erica, we knew she was the right choice! She was booked for our date already, but she highly recommended Amanda as lead photographer who is part of her Sweet Alice Studios Team and Erica then edits the photos! I cannot stress how superb Erica’s communication style is; she is quick to respond to emails and with kindness every time. You can tell how much she cares about her clients and how much she truly loves her job! She was essential for creating our timeline and her professional wisdom was so helpful throughout the process! We met with Amanda for our engagement shoot and hit it off immediately! She was so helpful for two people who are shy in front of the camera, and she truly captured our personalities with ease! We met with Amanda 2 weeks or so before the wedding to talk through our wants and to give us some guidance on some details. On the wedding day Amanda and second photographer Debbie were wonderful!! They arrived early, were open to any and all last-minute photo ideas, and available when we needed them. They were a perfect mix of calm and joyous throughout the whole day! So kind and efficient, they allowed us to really soak in the little moments on our wedding day. My husband even mentioned that Amanda gave him a little pep talk accompanied by some tissues prior to the ceremony and later she gave us the biggest hug after our first dance (which he had been so anxious about!). The team genuinely makes you feel seen, heard, and like we had some extra friends on our big day there to support us. Some of our favorite shots are little unposed moments that captured the authentic joy our day gave us! Then we got about 100 sneak-peek photos within 3 days of our wedding date (mind you the team had at least 3 weddings that weekend) and we were totally blown away! The vividness of the Fall foliage was STUNNING. My friends/family raved about our photos, and I cannot wait to hang prints of them all over our house! I am recommending Sweet Alice to any bride I cross paths with because this team is just that good!

My name is Julia, and I know all about what you’re going through (wedding planning that is). I am also recently engaged! In case we haven't met before, let me tell you a little bit about myself! My favorite band is Panic! At The Disco, my favorite show in the world right now is Schitt’s Creek, and I have a cat named Cricket, who is my entire world! I am known for my candid, romantic, and artistic photography with a hint of modernity. My ultimate goal is to show the, love, beauty, strength and enthusiasm of people through my photos. I feel so fortunate to be located in the Hudson Valley. It’s truly one of the the best places to get married!

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia is a wizard. She is a fairy. She is a magical being that was sent from another realm to make us feel like the most special people on our special day. Wedding planning can be stressful, but spending time with Julia means putting all those stresses behind and falling in love with your partner again. She manages to get the most intimate shots while making sure we’re completely comfortable and happy. We thought a good while over who we were going to pick for our photographer and with unbelievable luck we chose the best photographer in the Hudson Valley. Completely outstanding, 10/10, we will be hiring her for all life events. From our first conversation with her, prior to the engagement shoot and prior to real wedding planning, it was clear that she was the right choice as she made us feel secure and made it clear that she had a vision that aligned with ours. Julia made our wedding dream come true and immortalized in her photos, there is absolutely no one we would recommend over her. You would be doing yourself a disservice by not hiring her for your wedding.

Hi, I'm Stef. I photograph intimate weddings, NYC City Hall ceremonies, and micro celebrations where presence matters more than production. My approach is documentary at its core. I'm not directing every moment, I'm moving through your day quietly, watching for the ones that actually matter. I shoot both digital and 35mm film, not as an aesthetic choice but because film asks everyone to slow down a little. That slowness is kind of the whole point. Based in New York City and the Hudson Valley, available for travel.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our first conversation with Stef, we knew we'd found the right photographer for our elopement. She listened to what we wanted and made us feel at ease in front of the camera. Stef respected our time and didn't push us to do endless photo sessions, yet she still captured beautiful candid moments that tell our story perfectly. She's knowledgeable about City Hall and worked with us every step of the way to make sure our vision came to life. We felt supported and understood throughout the entire process, and the final photos exceeded what we imagined. Stef made our special day even more special, and we can't recommend her enough.

It’s Katie if you haven’t guessed already! I’m a photographer in the Hudson Valley. My goal is to give you the newest best friend you didn’t ask for and an incredible memory you get to keep forever. I live for the giggles, full heart felt moments and even shed a tear or two at almost every wedding I attend (just because I am so freaking happy). I can’t help but be so deeply intertwined in the moment that I get lost in the love and magic of it all.

Katie was truly incredible to work with and went above and beyond in every way. From our very first call, she made my husband and me feel completely at ease. Throughout the planning process, she was always quick to respond to calls and emails, and she made sure every detail was finalized perfectly. On the day of the wedding, Katie somehow managed to capture every beautiful moment—honestly, I don’t know how she did it all on her own. Our wedding photos are our absolute favorite thing to look at. The lighting, the editing, and the care she put into perfecting each picture really shows. I look at them every single day. Katie was wonderful from start to finish, and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone in need of a wedding photographer. She exceeded every expectation, and we are so grateful for her talent and dedication. We will cherish our photos forever!

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.

Caitlinn pays close attention to the small details, from the way we held hands to the expressions on our guests' faces, bringing every precious memory to life in her photos. I first met Caitlinn when she was the photographer for my best friend's wedding, which happened to be on one of the coldest days of the year. I’ll never forget Caitlinn’s energy and enthusiasm—despite the chill, she was a warm and positive presence, making everyone feel comfortable and excited. After that, I knew she would be the perfect choice for our wedding as well. We booked Caitlinn for our engagement photos, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the photos were! She even joined us on a cold winter hike, creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that I told my husband afterward, “I want to be friends with her.” That’s how wonderful she is! On our wedding day, Caitlinn made me feel absolutely incredible. She was professional, timely, and brought a sense of calm and joy that made the day even more special. Caitlinn is so efficient that we received our sneak peek photos the very next day, and they were breathtaking! Despite shooting two weddings after ours, she had all our photos to us within three weeks—unbelievable! I cannot recommend Caitlinn highly enough. Not only is she incredibly talented and attentive to every detail, but she is also the kind of person you want to have around on your special day.

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.

Choosing Nina as our photographer was one of the best choices we made. From the onset she was warm, friendly, and professional. She was very responsive and available to answer all of our questions. We booked an engagement shoot before the wedding and Nina even suggested the perfect location for us to shoot. I would not consider myself to be photogenic but Nina made us feel comfortable. On our wedding day, Nina took control and made sure the day moved as we needed it to. I would not have made it through the day without her. There were some minor mishaps throughout the day and Nina quickly pivoted and found solutions. Our photos came out stunning. I asked her to avoid certain angles that I felt didn't flatter me, and she made sure to remember that on our wedding day. She got the perfect mix of candid photos and portraits which is exactly what I asked for. I cannot recommend Nina enough.

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.

From the moment we first reached out to Love, Lucy Photography, Bethany and Raquel were incredibly responsive, helpful, and friendly. Their communication style put us at ease throughout the entire wedding planning process. We knew we made the right decision when we met for our engagement session! On the day of our wedding, they went above and beyond to keep us calm and relaxed, allowing us to truly be present and soak in all the special moments. The quality of their work is outstanding - they captured the day in a way that brings us right back to the magic of that day whenever we look at the photos. We were thrilled that they were able to capture all the shots we requested, delivering the final gallery to us in a very timely manner (2 weeks!!).

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.

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!

We had the pleasure of working with Carroll as our wedding photographer, and I cannot express how thrilled my husband and I were with the entire experience. Carroll's professionalism truly stood out from the beginning to the end of our wedding journey. I lucked out that I had gotten to see Carroll in action when she photographed my best friend’s wedding and when it came time to plan our own day, we literally picked our wedding day based on Carroll’s availability. Carroll was organized, punctual, and took the time to understand our vision for the wedding. She was as taken with all the photo opportunities our venue provided as we were and her excitement over that made engagement and wedding photos even more fun. Her attention to detail and commitment to capturing every special moment was evident throughout the entire process. The pictures Carroll captured were nothing short of fantastic. She has a keen eye for composition and lighting, resulting in a collection of stunning images that perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our wedding day. Each photo tells a story, and we are grateful to have such beautiful memories preserved through Carroll's lens. Working with Carroll was not only a professional collaboration but also a fun and memorable experience. Her warm and friendly personality created a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for us to be ourselves in front of the camera. Carroll's ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions added an authentic touch to our wedding album. She navigated through the day with a positive and upbeat attitude, making the photo sessions enjoyable for everyone involved. Carroll's passion for her craft was evident, and it translated into a fun and stress-free photography session on our wedding day. In the end, the final product exceeded our expectations. Carroll delivered a beautifully curated collection of images that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her talent, combined with her professionalism and friendly demeanor, makes Carroll an exceptional wedding photographer. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in search of a photographer who not only captures breathtaking moments but also makes the entire process enjoyable and memorable.

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.
