Sydney K Andrew Photography

5.0

Saratoga Springs, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

It was incredible getting to watch Sydney in action when we worked a wedding together this past year! As a newer wedding vendor she welcomed me with open arms and I learned so much by watching her interact with the couple, wedding party, family, and friends! She consistently was one step ahead and always seemed to know exactly what everyone needed! She spent the day as so much more than a photographer which I can only imagined enhanced the bride and grooms day and took so much pressure of their shoulders! Not to mention the photos turned out absolutely gorgeous! I would love to work alongside Sydney again in the future! Any vendor that gets to learn from her is lucky!

Maybrook, NY
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

I’m known for documenting candid moments in a bright and vibrant way. I love capturing and creating narratives from start to finish - being a wedding photographer and videographer is the ultimate storytelling experience, and it’s one of my greatest joys. Weddings feel like home to me. I’ve found that it’s hard for me to stop smiling throughout the day, and even afterward, during the editing process. There’s just something about weddings that gets my heart all aflutter.

Ashley is awesome, easy to get ahold of when needed, she organized all the people who needed to be in photos very well, and got some amazing shots!

Anj Photographer

5.0

Ridgefield, NJ
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Rensselaer, NY

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

  • Starts at $3,400

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.

Becca is a fantastic photographer! She’s easy to communicate with and is such a fun and positive person to be around especially on what can be such a chaotic day. She’s also very flexible and accommodating! She works her hardest to make it the best experience possible. 10/10 recommend!

Bridget Caitlin

Albany, NY
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $5,000

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I are so happy that we chose Bridget to be our wedding photographer. She took the time to get to know us and discover our vision for our wedding day. She was always available for questions and checked in with us frequently throughout the planning process, which was very reassuring! One of my favorite things that she for us was create a timeline for our wedding day. This was a great resource to give to family members, so they knew where to be and when. It also helped to make sure that we got all of the kinds of pictures that we wanted! Speaking of the pictures, they are absolutely beautiful! Bridget made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera for the staged photographs and skillfully captured so many candid moments. Looking through our album is like reliving the entire day! I highly recommend the package that includes a second photographer, as you are able to get even more coverage. Overall, we love Bridget and are so happy that she was the one we chose to capture our special day. We hope to hire her to capture important events in our lives in the future!

Hi! My name is Siobhán, pronounced shiv-awn, for anyone who hasn't heard the name before it's one of those many Irish names that does not sound anything like how its spelled! I am a photographer based in New York. At home my dog Duke is often on the other side of my camera but when its not him I love capturing real moments with couples and my clients.

Awarded Best of Zola
Siobhan was amazing to work with. Incredibly responsive from when we reached out initially. We did an engagement shoot with her which really helped to get to know her so we were both more relaxed on the day itself. She came up with some really creative ideas on the spot that have ended up being some of my favorite photos. She catered to any ask that we had - we asked for an additional photographer close to the day itself. She also stayed beyond when I expected and capture some great photos towards the end of the night. She delivered the photos in the timeframe that she had committed too and we loved them! It was like having a friend taking the photos! Book her - you won't regret it!

Lindsey, a Virginia native, took her first photo class in high school and has developed a passion for photography and videography ever since!

Without a doubt, we are so happy that we found Lindsey @ HSV to be our engagement & wedding photographer! I cannot recommend her enough. Her work is so gorgeous and unique and I love how she captured exactly what we were looking for. She is so personable and truly goes the extra mile to capture the vision. In all the prior research I did, I found HSV to not only be the most reasonably priced, but also the most suited to the style that we were looking to capture! After speaking to Lindsey on the phone, I was positive that she was the photographer I wanted to work with. My husband and I were married in the Cathedral of All Saints in Albany. We were looking for dramatic, moody, romantic photos that fit the aesthetic of the space. Not only did she deliver exactly what we were looking for, but she took the time to really understand our order of service and was so respectful and mindful of our faith and the space we were in. I could go on and on about all the little details and how happy we are with our photos and our experience in working with Lindsey. She is such a kind, thoughtful, talented, professional, and organized person. It felt like having a good friend capture our most special day. Do not hesitate to book with her -- you will not be disappointed!!

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is the best and a blast to work with! I get so so many compliments on our wedding photographs. They turned out so natural and beautiful and I didn’t even realize she was there half the time. She is the bomb and such a talent.

Hello, new friend! I'm Rebecca. I'm a journalist who fell in love with taking pictures and documenting love. I'm also enthusiastically lgbtq+ friendly, body-positive, delighted by DIY and pro making-it-up-as-you-go. Let's celebrate your love, your way. I have to be up front about a few things. First, I'm probably going to make friends with your grandma, and even shake it while taking photos on the dance floor. Oh, and if your pet is involved in your wedding, I might pass out from joy. I will almost definitely get a little teary-eyed during your vows, but don't worry... I can take pictures and cry at the same time.

Rebecca really made us feel at ease so that we could have the best photos possible. She took into account our desire to have photos of everyone with the bride and groom from the receiving line and really captured all the special touches that made our day unique. She brings a positive energy and great ideas and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

Meghan shot our engagement and wedding photos in 2015 and did such an amazing job. She was very personable, open to suggestions and had a great vision in working with us. She also had a very large and rowdy wedding party to contend with and did so beautifully. We were so over the moon with her and her work that she has become our family photographer. She has shot our maternity pictures and every year since. She is very affordable and does amazing work. She is the kindest person and it really feels like she's become apart of our family.

Rotterdam Junction, NY
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $999

​I began photography in early 2015 by offering a few free sessions. Soon my business grew and I was booking numerous family and children photography sessions each month. In the summer of 2015 I began photographing weddings by offering to photograph a wedding for free and now I have seen my business grow from a few weddings a year to being fully booked with weddings nearly every weekend! In 2019 I decided to turn something I was passionate about into my full-time job. Many of my weddings are booked through "word of mouth" from some of my amazing clients! I am located in Rotterdam, NY and I travel in NY, VT, and MA for weddings.

The smartest thing I ever did was hire Always In Focus Photography. Melanie was very nice, professional, reasonable, and accommodating. Picking a wedding photographer is hard when there’s so many choices. Melanie offers very reasonable pricing and honestly I don’t think anyone could’ve done a better job (even if I was paying thousands of dollars more). We booked Melanie for 8 hours and it was great. Our engagement photos were included and came out beautiful. The day of the wedding Melanie showed up on time (even though we just had a snowstorm). You never would have known Melanie was even there taking pictures. She was not disruptive to our night at all and got a ton of great shots- both posed and candid shots. My guests all loved that she brought out the tv screen and had a slideshow of some of the pictures already! When the night was over it took about 4 days to get ALL of our pictures (over 900 total)! Melanie was very fast and everything came out great!! We highly recommend booking her for your wedding and if you go elsewhere and/ or spend more on a photographer you’re missing out!

I value the little things in life, like sipping on a glass of champagne while getting your nails done and enjoying a good book while sitting in the sun.

Abby was fantastic to work with. She brought a energetic and fun vibe! If we didn't have an idea on a photo she came up with a great idea on how to pose. We got photos of the best moments that we didn't see. Great work!

For me, photography is not only an art, but an outlet. I have always been creative and there's something fulfilling about capturing beautiful images of days filled with love and emotion. I love capturing everyone's unique love story and being able to freeze moments and give them back to you in photographs.

When we first met her, we had initially planned to go with a different photographer, but her energy, is vibing, and herunderstanding of exactly what we wanted was unmatched, as well as her pricing, and what it included. She helped us through every step of the way and even on our wedding day when we didn’t have a long enough package she was flexible and left the wedding and then came back so that we could get our sunset photos. During our engagement shoot, we were having so much fun with the props that we didn’t end up getting romantic views that we wanted after a few hours and she scheduled another couple hour shoot for us to get the romantic photos that we wanted it by the end of the time working with her I would call her friend and I look forward to working with her in the future .

I have studied fine art photography long before I ever started taking portraits of other people and shooting weddings. Fine art photography was my beginning, creating conceptual and authentic art that spoke to me and told my story was what I started with and then I started blurring that line between fine art and documentary. I started documenting other people and their lives in the same way that I created my own work intended for shows and galleries. That is how I came to the style that I shoot now, still blending the two parts of my life.

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura is great! She really tries to get you know you on a deeper level, when I first reach out she sent a huge questionnaire which I loved! She is so flexible, which was perfect. Our wedding was in Vermont and we are living in Colorado. We were able to coordinate meeting up when we visited in May. We met at a beautiful location and she took soo many more photos than I thought we’d get back! They were all incredible! Her questionnaire for the wedding day was perfect! Fast forward to wedding day, she arrived promptly when we agreed on and got right to work! Guests loved her and she did such an amazing job!

The day I met Daniela, I knew she would capture our special day perfectly. Daniela was constantly in contact with us from the moment we signed a contract with her. Before we even attended our engagement photo shoot, Daniela made sure we were prepared for what to expect and sent out questionnaires to get to know us. Our engagement shoot was in the middle of winter at lake Minnewaska and those moments were captured perfectly. She was very personable and made us feel relaxed and comfortable (she even allowed our pup to be in our shoot). As the wedding started to approach, she made sure we had all of our vendors and plans were all set. Daniela was always asking how we were feeling as our big day was coming. We were not nervous at all and beyond ready for her to capture this moment. We had our last zoom call the week of the wedding and planned out our timeline and picture list. Daniela showed up with her assistant on the day of the wedding and of course, it was pouring rain (as everyone says, rain is good luck). She was flexible with the weather and made sure I was okay with any changes. We were able to get our portraits done outside because the rain had slowed down, then took family portraits inside. Daniela and her assistant followed the picture list we had created perfectly and even dealt with my crazy family lol. We truly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Even though the weather did not cooperate, the pictures couldn't have come out any better. Daniela captured all of the feelings from our special day. We are beyond thankful for her and her team.

I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
Wedding planning was beyond stressful, especially picking the right photographer to basically be in charge of capturing the entire day perfectly. I’m pretty sure I looked through every local photographers website or example work and it was exhausting. When I finally did pick a handful to choose from it was still waiting for emails back, or being told up to six months to get my photos back (I respect photographers but that just seemed so long) or some didn’t even respond. Well Nicole Lagoe Photography answered pretty much right away, and scheduled a call for us the same week. I know I wasn’t the easiest client because I had so many questions and high expectations (which she took care of them all) The process was soooo easy after that call! I got a little questionnaire to fill out and basically put all the pictures I wanted and information that I felt was pretty important on that. Then she said I get a handful of previews, and gave me the exact date my gallery would be sent over (which I needed because who wants to be guessing if or when they will be coming lol) I got my sneaks which were AMAZING and my completed photos actually a few days before the due date which was an unexpected surprise. My photos are beautiful and I know well worth the wait because I had A LOT as my wedding was a long day. Thank you Nicole for being so kind and patient with me and for making choosing you as a photographer so easy and the best decision ever.

Eddie is the absolute best! We had an incredible time with him during our engagement photos, and the results were stunning. We were genuinely excited to have Eddie with us on our wedding day, knowing how warm and funny he is personally, in addition to the beautiful way that we knew he would capture each moment. We've just received our first few photos and are absolutely thrilled. Eddie's photos are so beautiful, and he is a complete joy to work with. Cannot recommend Eddie highly enough!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Isaac and Love Knot Photography shot our wedding and they did an amazing job. After interviewing several photographers, we decided to choose Isaac and his team because he had the best portfolio, was very professional and friendly and he was well organized. The photos turned out so great, we really love the candids and portraits. Between taking amazing photos, they also helped out with a number of things throughout the wedding day. Isaac looked up a youtube how to fold a pocket square then the question was raised. He is very fun to have around and we appreciate all the effort he put into helping us have a great day. The photos tell the story of our day perfectly and we can't thank Love Knot and Isaac enough. We will be reliving our wedding day through these pictures and the collection is beautiful!

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.

Lindsay and Nathan are an incredible team. From booking them two years ago, doing our engagement session, and now having gotten sneak peaks back from our wedding that was just 2 days ago, I’m completely blown away by how incredible they have been! Lindsay is a complete pro. Group photos flew by because she was so great at directing and wrangling everyone. I had multiple people comment on how she was EVERYWHERE non-stop at our wedding, doing an amazing job the whole time! I just know she got every picture I wanted and more, and with how gorgeous our sneak peaks turned out I know I’ll absolutely love them! She and Nathan were so on top of everything, and made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. Not only that, she truly went above and beyond helping to safety pin a rip in my dress.

I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

We can’t say enough positive things about Jess! She fell down a few weeks before our wedding and hurt herself pretty badly, however she showed up to our wedding and still made us feel special and made her job look easy (which it definitely isn’t!) She even gave us some Polaroids and a frame before the night was even over. Our sneak peek pics came in a week later and they are so beautiful. Our families and the bridal party loved her just as much as we did!

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

After working 10+ years in corporate America in NYC, California and traveling the globe, I found myself wanting more than what the traditional career path had set for me. I stumbled into photography while I was on maternity leave with my oldest and started a side hustle that I had no idea was going to turn into a complete career change years later. From the very first wedding I shot, I knew I was onto something. And ever since then, I haven't looked back.

Kim was one of the first vendors that my husband and I booked. As soon as we had our introductory call with her, we were hooked! Like many other couples, it was our first time being photographed and we wanted to find someone that would make us feel as comfortable as possible. Kim was warm, genuine and patient with us. She knew exactly what to do and how to get us to open up in front of the camera. Due to the pandemic, when we had to postpone our original wedding date, Kim was extremely accommodating and understanding. And as a stressed out couple whose plans were constantly changing, she was so helpful in offering solutions and suggestions for us. We are forever grateful to Kim for capturing our wedding day so beautifully. Although we didn’t hire a videographer, the photos itself told the whole story of our day. Clicking through the pictures, it felt like we were watching a movie. We found so many moments that we didn’t even realize she caught. She happened to be in the right place at the right time. And her photography style was exactly what we were looking for. We didn’t want too many posed photos and wanted something timeless. She allowed us to focus on each other and our photos reflected our honest emotions. She is truly authentic and forms wonderful connections with all of her couples. Kim is more than just a wedding photographer and we would highly recommend her to everyone.

Hayley Anne is an AMAZING photographer! I had the pleasure of working with her at a wedding in upstate New York and the results were out of this world. Hayley seemed very laid back and personable during the shoot, but looking at the results, you can see just how diligent and focused she was in capturing all the details in every moment, all while always keeping the technicalities of composition in mind. For the dancing portion, there's so much action captured, it rivals some of the best I've seen. There's even photos of a guest being hoisted (or perhaps launched!) into the air by a friend, which to me serves as a reminder that you can only capture these details if you have a photog who is keenly aware and lightning quick. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture the unique personalities of your family members, all the fine details, and all the dancefloor action without breaking a sweat, I would absolutely recommend Hayley!

After speaking to a dozen or so photographers, we had pretty much given up. It seemed like no one was actually willing to work with us on what we were looking for, and were very rigid with the packages they offer. Enter...Hannah. Talking to Hannah immediately made me feel like I was chatting with an old friend. She really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. Our engagement session was so much fun, and we couldn't wait until our big day. Matt and Hannah's team was absolutely amazing! They got all of the shots we wanted plus so much more!
