Brittany Ford Photography, LLC

Corfu, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,500
  • Serves Clay, NY

I am a New York based wedding photographer, but I am always down to travel and get out of the snow belt. I have been shooting for years but as of the last few, I decided to make this wonderful hobby a full time career.

Brittany was amazing to work with! She posted looking for a couple who loved the Bills and chose my fiancé and I. The pictures turned out unbelievable and it was so fun hanging out with her for the afternoon. Brittany made us both feel comfortable in front of the camera and free to be ourselves! Definitely recommend Brittany for all your photo needs!!!

Chrysa Leigh Photography

5.0

Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

Awarded Best of Zola
I had put off booking a boudoir session for far too long, and as soon as my session with Chrysa was over I knew I should've done it sooner. I went in feeling hesitant and nervous, but Chrysa instantly put me at ease and made me feel comfortable, confident and like I was a QUEEN. I genuinely had the best time and I'm so in love with each and every photo. Moral of the story: stop putting off booking with Chrysa and just do it; you will not regret it!

Nicole Lagoe Photography

Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). 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
We could not have been happier with Nicole. She was always responsive and easy to communicate with. When we had our engagement shoot, she was enjoyable to work with and took incredible photos. From that point we never felt anxious about any aspect of the wedding photos, because we knew we had found the best photographer we could possibly find, and we were totally right! We love our photos so much, and I can't recommend that peace of mind highly enough. She is incredibly talented and efficient, quickly understood what we wanted and managed to give us everything we hoped for without disrupting the big day in any way. Many of our guests have commented on how great the photos were and how amazing it was that our photographer captured them while never getting in the way. Working with Nicole was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

Awarded Best of Zola
From the beginning of our planning process, Brittany really showed us her talents in this business. She helped with all aspects of the wedding, she was incredibly organized to make sure the day went smoothly and we got all the pictures she wanted, and she was always very responsive if I had questions about anything. She captured our engagement photos, our first wedding and our full wedding and I can’t recommend her services enough. The photos were beautiful and she always made us so comfortable when we didn’t think we would be naturals. She gave us memories we are going to have with us forever.

Tom Studios Wedding Photography

We’re Lexi and Tom, the partners behind Tom Studios Photography! We share a love of capturing connections and realize the incredible significance a photo can hold! We have been blessed to capture 100+ weddings and have made so many amazing friends along the way!

Awarded Best of Zola
Tom and Lexi are just the best! First, we had a fantastic engagement photo session at Ithaca Falls and Cornell Botanical Gardens in October – they really put us at ease in front of the camera and we had a ton of fun, and received amazing shots that we used for our Save-the-Dates. Fast forward to our summer (August) wedding day at The Treman Center – Tom & Lexi efficiently arranged our first look (Lexi even arranged an impromptu “pre-first look” with the bridal party, prior to bride/groom first look, which was adorable!). We took all the shots we wanted to take and then some, both our pre- and post-ceremony photos (which were a blast) were captured super quickly/efficiently (but it didn’t feel like we were rushing) – so we had ample time to enjoy hanging out with our guests during cocktail hour. Lexi and Tom suggested an amazing night time silhouette shot that looks spectacular (in lieu of our sunset photo idea which didn’t happen due to rain/clouds). We received our sneak peak of both the engagement session and wedding day within 48 hours, which really held us over as we eagerly awaited seeing the full galleries. From our wedding, Tom & Lexi put together a beautiful slideshow of selected shots set to the sweetest soundtrack, which was a ton of fun to watch and relive the day until the final full portfolio was ready. The final online gallery was sorted into specific albums for different parts of the day which made it really easy to browse, and is easily shareable. One guest (the bride's brother) commented, “These are honestly the best wedding photos I've seen” and so many other guests commented on how gorgeous all the photos are; we can’t wait to share prints with our family and wedding party. We are seriously amazed. Tom & Lexi truly captured the love and happiness felt during our special day -- we keep looking at them and thinking, how did you capture everyone so perfectly, allowing their personalities shine through? How were you both in 1350831 different places at once and yet totally able to blend into the background? How do you guys keep raising the bar with each additional peek at our photos?? We are so grateful we chose you as our photographers!!! Thank you Tom & Lexi!

Cicero, NY

  • Starts at $2,599

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough words to describe how excellent our experience was working with Joe, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided to us for our engagement and wedding pictures. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, all while being so patient with us and our wedding party. He captured our entire wedding day from the moment we started getting ready to the time we left our reception. I had an extensive list of “must have” shots and he was able to capture all of them. The quality of the photos exceeded all of my expectations and I couldn’t recommend him more! He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed with his work!

Cicero, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600

Welcome to Emily Woznica Photo. I am a Wedding Photographer based in Syracuse, NY that photographs weddings all over CNY. I am a true to color and natural light photographer. This means your photos are tastefully enhanced and still match the moment. I primarily work with couples and my work ranges from engagements, weddings, family sessions and more. Things that inspire my me are historical architecture, stone, sunsets, and water. I have a calm and laid back personality, but I am genuinely passionate about serving my clients to ensure they receive the quality photos they deserve.

Emily, and her colleague Katie, were absolutely incredible to work with. From day one meeting via Zoom, she made me feel fully at ease and brought that same warm, but organized, energy to the actual wedding day. She got all of the shots we asked for - and then some! Throughout the day, she was gentle but firm in guiding us to stay on track with schedules (my family is notoriously horrible at this) and I'm just so appreciative I had her presence there on my special day. She even climbed through the woods to get some sunset photos of me atop a hill - a ridiculous demand of mine but she did it with a smile. I feel like I made a new friend in her! Thank you again, Emily and Katie, for the amazing captures you took - you did a wonderful job. 11/10, highly recommend!

The Story Photography

North Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

There are no words to describe how incredible Chris is. He was calm, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Truly one of our favorite vendors. We were floored when we got our pictures back. He captured everything beautifully and we hardly knew he was there! At the end of the night he gave us the kindest words and smiles. Do not even think twice about contacting him - he is the real deal and will make the process easy.

Thalia was absolutely incredible. From the moment we met her, we knew she was going to be the best photographer for our wedding. She put up (and even had fun with) our crazy wedding crew and made us feel so comfortable. She is so organized and had such a structured timeline of the day - and when things didn't work out, she was ready with another solution! When we got our photos back, we were in AWE. Every single photo is perfect and better than we could have ever imagined. If you are looking for a young, fun, creative photographer - choose Thalia!! You will not regret it and we can't recommend her enough!

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Michelle and Allison (her 2nd shooter) were absolutely phenomenal! We were so excited to get our photos back -they were stunning and exceeded by expectations. Michelle is a breeze to work with, and a true professional. She was able to help us navigate everything from various terrain, to family dynamics, all while calming my nerves. Several of my bridesmaids who had been in other weddings/recently married remarked that they had wished their photographer was as organized yet calm and directive as her. She wrangled a big bridal party quickly and made sure we had amazing shots. We had such a blast with her during our engagement shoot (which I highly recommend doing!) as it gave us a feel for her fun personality (along with her dad jokes) as well as how she shoots, which helped me figure out poses I liked/didn’t since I am very self conscious. We loved that she tries to take photos that reflect “in the moment joy,” rather than just a ton of posed photos (though don’t worry, she will take plenty of beautiful portraits too). She really understood the importance of capturing the spirit of the day and we are so excited our photos!!

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

As the mother of the bride, having the right person for the right job is essential for the perfect wedding. I can say hands-down we chose the perfect photographer in Lauren K Downing she was professional, organized and made sure every photo was timed exactly right to not take away from the rest of the wedding festivities and guests. The details that Lauren captured were way beyond our expectations. Lauren Downing would definitely be someone I would recommend to do any professional photography

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

Awarded Best of Zola
You simply MUST hire Kelsey if you're looking for a wedding photographer. In our search, we kept coming across very moody or over-/under-saturated photography styles, which was not our vibe. We came across Kelsey's portfolio and were greeted with vibrant, true-to-life color and we were hooked. Kelsey's also just an incredibly kind and charismatic person — she made us feel at ease on our engagement session, and we got a chance to really connect, which made our wedding day that much more exciting because we felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. Kelsey went above and beyond her duties, like providing us with wedding day timeline guidance and driving one of us over to the venue so we could execute a 'first look.' We can't imagine our wedding day without Kelsey being there! Her photos speak for themselves, but I hope this review gives you the added encouragement to reach out to her, because you'll regret not hiring her for your own wedding

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

We absolutely loved working with Christian, Emilio and Max at Natura Collective. To say they put us at ease is an understatement! Neither my (now) husband nor I am tremendously comfortable being the center of attention and photographs are... frankly... just that. But the Natura Collective team had such a warmth and comfort about them, we honestly had the best time with them! From the engagement session to the portraits before the event, taking pictures felt natural and even fun! During the actual wedding they were everywhere we wanted them to be without our even noticing it. And the photos we've received back are so perfect! I cannot recommend them enough! We can't wait to get the full set back in a few months! Do not hesitate, they are lovely to work with and their photos are beautiful!

Let's create wedding images with real emotion, story, and intention to them. I know being in front of the camera can be awkward. That's why I choose not to pose couples, but instead prompt you to do something like "take off your shoes and run across the field" or " get inside the car and kiss everywhere except the lips". These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world! All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camcorder or camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera + tons of film. I documented everything. When film turned into digital, that was a turning point in my life. Since then, my memories, large + small, have been organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back + revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't remember without pictures!

I had a small wedding at home and she was there early in the morning and took photos of the entire day. She was taking photos to make my day memorable and focused on the details that I am so grateful she was able to capture. She photographed my family members too and made me feel beautiful on my day. I sometimes get awkward in front of cameras but she made me feel comfortable and I would for sure book her again when given the chance. I highly recommend. She’s very understanding of different cultures and made sure to capture those moments that made my day special. She edits beautifully and she also sent a flash drive in a beautifully presented box. I loved it. Her attention to detail is impeccable and you can tell she loves what she does. So grateful that my sister discovered her. Nicole was absolutely amazing.

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.

My husband and I worked with Anj for our engagement photos in Spring 2023 and our wedding photography on September 30, and we are very happy with the results! Anj was kind, talented, affordable, and a pleasure to work with. We loved our engagement photos in Wissahickon Park. Anj spoke with us before both projects to get a sense of what we wanted, and she understood our desire for unpretentious, mostly candid, true-to-life yet elevated style in the photos. She was excellent in directing our families on the wedding day for posed family and bridal party photos in an unfamiliar location. Several of our family members told us afterward that they were impressed with her organization and clear directions she gave them. And she suggested we have a friend do a video of our first look while she photographed it, which was the best decision we made. The moment was intimate and we forgot she or anyone else was in the room. The pictures of this turned out so well too! She took pictures of me getting ready with my bridesmaids and was well-liked by everyone there including the hair stylists and my little niece. I was really nervous in the beginning of the day and she really helped me feel centered. And towards the end of the night, Anj even helped instruct us how to cut our wedding cake when we couldn't find a staff person at our venue to do so - while taking photos of us at the same time! To summarize, she gave us exactly what we wanted, was friendly and efficient, returned photos in very fast (about 4 weeks), and was very professional and calm. We highly recommend her wedding and engagement photography services!

New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Clay, NY

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

I was referred to Emma Cleary via a gf who had just had her wedding shot and said she did great work so I was happy to get a glowing referral while trying to source vendors. Emma was a godsend for me, because my wedding had so much that I wanted to cover, with so many moving pieces (7 musical acts, 20 performers, etc.) at so many different locations (a memorial area for first look, then over to a Park for ceremony, then a boat to an Island for the reception) via different modes of transportation (car, ferry, boat, 2nd line parade) over multiple nights (we shot both Friday -Sunday am) but her and her team came along for the entire ride and nailed it and I got AMAZING photos for every part. The lead photographer was so on it (which we needed bc we were on such a tight schedule) and the other photographers were also great and told us jokes which helped me actually get genuine smiles and helped so much during the stressful first look. My veil blew away during my photos (before the ceremony, sigh) and they were there trying to climb the tree to get it (but it was way too high up!) but A+ for effort. And the best part was that she actually SAVED my wedding... we had planned on getting married next to a carousel inside a public park, and the carousel party coordinator didn't file the required permit we needed so a hour before I walked down the aisle the park rangers came in and forced the setup/guests out. Emma knew the owner of a nearby restaurant where she had shot wedding photos before and asked the owner if we could use in front of his restaurant (facing the water) as a ceremony site. If that had not happened then who knows where I would have gotten married. She worked with my wedding planner and my guests (and us too!) had a place to have our ceremony last second... she was a total life saver during such a stressful and important moment. And then at the end once we received the photos, my favorite part was the light editing which was just the right amount, not too fake, so was perfect. Some of the photos dont even look like we are in a city which I just loved loved loved and had said I wanted, and then when we wanted city or actions shots she got those too so we had options of everything we did in every way. There is one shot where she got the end of our first dance and it looks like we are in a Broadway play! Anyways, as you could tell I couldnt have recommended any more bc she has so many years of experience it helped us with not only capturing the moments perfectly, and in a perfect way, it also helped us bc she knows all the wedding venues and wedding industry people and I never realized how much that plays a part in booking vendors.

We loved working with Ella! I was looking for a photographer I could click with, friendly and artistic. After a long search, I was happy to come across her page. I contacted her with a thousand and one questions, and she was sweet and responded in a timely fashion. She advised on venues that might accommodate my guests, djs she's worked with, catering businesses that her previous brides used, florists - I mean, I was so happy to have an insight, as a new bride I had no idea where to turn, and I was happy to get her help. On our wedding day, Ella was everywhere I turned my head. She got to the venue a little before our scheduled time and took pictures of our venue and table décor and scouted places we could do our family and bridal pictures at. I wanted a first look with my Dad - and Ella organized that to happen without ruining the moment. I liked that she suggested things I haven't thought about, like a first look with my bridesmaids, cute pictures with my flower girls, etc. Every detail I wanted, Ella captured, and so much more. Our wedding pictures are so beautiful, I sit and look through them every few months and sometimes I print different ones for our living room walls.

She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.)

Awarded Best of Zola
Let us make this easy by saying if Megan is available, book her. Also if you have a dog and want someone who will love them almost as much as you do, book her. It will be the easiest and best decision of your wedding planning process. We wish we had the right words to describe how incredible Megan is. From the very beginning she took time to get to know us, and truly went above and beyond in so many ways. We were instantly comfortable around Megan which was more important than we realized when hiring a photographer. Seeing our photos now, she truly captured our personalities and moments she knew would be important to us. We are not exaggerating when we say our photos are more beautiful than we could've imagined, and they made us cry in public when we saw our preview. On top of having moments we will cherish forever, Megan was so supportive of us regardless of what challenge came our way. The weather did not cooperate and we were crushed that our ceremony had to go with plan B, so Megan without hesitation mapped out the venue to find covered areas so we could still have photos with the outdoor scenery. When we share our photos people are shocked to learn that it rained that day. The day of the wedding can be so stressful, especially when things don’t go as planned, and having Megan’s expertise, guidance and reassurance was so incredibly valuable. We are counting down the days until we hire Megan again, mostly because our dogs miss hanging out with her almost as much as we do.

We found friendly boat owners who let us board their yacht and Ishan got photos of us opening champagne and drone photos of us lying on the bow. He thinks on his feet and comes up with awesome photos in any circumstance. Ishan Fotografi really captured the highlights of the wedding perfectly.

Jason came recommended to us from a few people who responded to a Facebook post I made in one of our local groups. We are so, so glad we decided to go with him! We had a very small wedding at our house and hired Jason to come do just an hour-long shoot (for a very reasonable price) so we could have a handful of formal shots and a few of our ceremony. He arrived right on time and ready to go. He was super friendly, laid back and professional and actually made us both feel at ease (which is tough because I hate being in front of a camera!) Even though it's the height of wedding season, he had a few preview photos for us to see within three or four days and the rest of the photos were ready for us within about two weeks? Just an amazing turn-around time. And although I'm burying the lede here, the photos were outstanding. I didn't expect very much from just an hour-long shoot, but we had so many "favorites" we really had a tough time picking which ones we wanted to have printed! We wholeheartedly recommend him if you're looking for a wedding photographer!

Weddings are celebrations that are full of emotion and romance all in a highly dynamic environment. Wedding photographs are timeless and irreplaceable so as a photographer, I feel I have a great responsibility at hand. I try my best to work with clients on their needs, provide flexible coverage hours and I work within their budgets. I am drawn to those unguarded candid moments. I attempt to portray an artistic feel that reveals feelings of emotion onto the viewer. Be it a gaze, a beaming smile, tears of joy or a blurred image to depict movement my goal is communication. It is these moments along with many others I feel should be captured.

Jose have a very unique style and a very good eye for art and wedding photography. There are no many like him... He is someone who is always giving 101% to his couples at the same time that he give them space to fully enjoy their wedding day. He is very easy to work with, fun, super profesional, understanding and caring. In my experience of all this years working with Jose, the most important to him is that the clients have an amazing experience working with him and that the final product that he delivers is impecable. I am lucky to work with him and and I can assure that you will be happy to have him as your wedding photographer.

WE'RE MARIA AND RICARDO, WE ARE HUSBAND AND WIFE AND THE HEART BEHIND THE PICTURES. WE ARE BASED IN NYC AND TAKE WEDDING COMISSIONS ALL AROUND THE US AND ABROAD BUT WE ARE ORIGINALLY FROM SPAIN AND PUERTO RICO MARIA IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, ALL THE IMAGES ARE TAKEN AND EDITED BY HER. RICARDO IS YOUR VIDEOGRAPHER AND RUNS THE BUSINESS AND MAKES SURE EVERYTHING GOES AS IT SHOULD. THERE IS A LOT GOING ON BEHIND THE SCENES.OUR PHOTOGRAPHY IS BOLD & CREATIVE, AIMING TO TELL STORIES AND DOCUMENT THE REAL MOMENTS. WE ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO SHOOT A FEW FORMALS AND WE ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM SESSIONS.

This review is massively long overdue (we got married 5/20/2022), but I absolutely have to write one. Maria and Ricky are hands down the BEST people and we could not have been luckier to have the pleasure of them capturing our wedding! They got exactly the vibes we wanted, all the shots we wanted, were so easy to communicate with, and are just the nicest and most fun people! We did our engagement shoot with them in NYC and the photos could not have been any better. We communicated the types of shots we were looking for and, since they were living there, they were able to give us the best tips for location and shots! Our wedding was better than we could have ever imagined. We got the best posed shots and the absolute best candid shots. We barely even realized the were photographing/taking video of us during the reception which we loved, but we also just loved their presence. They were so much fun and added to the party, they were dancing while shooting and made everyone so happy and comfortable. Our guests still talk about them and how awesome they are! Our video is breathtaking, we are taken back to the day every time we watching and it always brings us to tears. The photos are incredible; we constantly look through our photos and love displaying them in our home to look at all the time. We have since referred several people to them because we would love everyone to have the same experience we had!

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

The photos she took completely captured the overall warm and loving vibe of our wedding. She must be some sort of magician... or just the best possible wedding photographer... Booking her was easy. She was easy to get in touch with and was always prompt to respond. I'm glad we booked her early to lock in our date. She is a very popular photographer and she books up fast! We met Laura before our wedding to go over the details of the venue and timeline of the night. She is a pro so she can make any venue, even the warehouse we booked, look bright and not dark and dingy. Day of, Laura came happy and ready to shoot. Our portraits with parents and the bridal party were not only beautiful, taken in a field, but also super fun! Laura knows how to make you feel good about yourself when she's shooting you! She was also making jokes which helped make us all comfortable. The ceremony and reception pictures were just breathtaking! She captured how funny our officiant was, our special "I do" moment and of course our first kiss as husband and wife! During our reception, we had circus performers lead the guests in hula hooping and juggling... Laura was able to get some amazing action shots on the fly! Overall, Laura is the absolute best. She was the perfect photographer for our special day and I cannot imagine having someone else in her place! She is so talented, sweet, punctual and professional; all things you want and need in a photographer! We love her and will be hiring her in the future for family portraits!

We were impressed with how quickly they were able to get our group photos done even though we had a big wedding party. This was especially appreciated since we opted for outdoor photos and it was cold! They were also very communicative throughout the process, including leading up to the wedding and during the wedding day. Despite our large wedding (185), they captured almost everyone in attendance in at least one picture. We know we’ll really appreciate that in the years to come as we continue to look back at the photos in our album.

She is professional, but also kind and personable. Our engagment shoot was perfect, and set our minds completely at ease for the big day.

I started in photography much as everyone else did. What was once a hobby in 2002 quickly became a passion. I started out with a 35mm film set up and would hang out in the city capturing candid moments of people going about their day to day lives. For me, it was like stepping outside the world around me and documenting it like looking through a window into a world I was no longer part of. In 2008, when I myself got married, I realized that a wedding day is one of the most emotional moments for a couple. Not only for them but for the families involved as well! It was Oct. 31st, 2008 when I shot my first wedding. I haven't looked back since.

My sister got married about a year ago and used Inspire me imagery, we had such a great experience it was a no brainer when I was planning my wedding! Lauren and her crew could not have been anymore amazing! I felt completely comfortable with her and took her lead on everything, the result were some pretty amazing photos we’ll be able to cherish forever! Shout out to Mediha and Jyoti for being a great addition to team! All smiles and there to lend a helping hand wherever needed The day started out a little shaky as most wedding days do(our wedding party was late to the venue) but once we got going we had the best time! Everyone was relaxed and having a great time, this crew captured some truly amazing and memorable moments! We’re struggling on which photos to hang up there’s so many good ones!

She has a way of blending in perfectly while having a fun and calming presence that was very much needed. Dani's eye is amazing and our photos were romantic, fun, and stunning! We had a very unique wedding at a wildlife museum in update New York where everything was DIY. She noticed every detail and could read the room as well as our DJ. We are so grateful for her for helping us to embrace our special day and giving us memories through her photos that will last the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and include her in your wedding day or any other special moment you want captured. If you are lucky you'll also walk away with a lifelong friend.

Hello, I'm Cheryl I'm a Philadelphia/NYC based photographer specializing in engagement, wedding, maternity, newborn and family photography. While working as a nurse, I found my passion in photography. My goal is to document genuine moments and provide results that you can cherish forever!

Cheryl was amazing to work with. From the very beginning of wedding planning to the end of the big day, she was extremely attentive, trying to get a good understanding and feel for the style of photos i wanted, which I appreciated. I felt more then comfortable with letting her do her thing and going with the flow. She made the day go by so easy and the photos are absolutely stunning. They are so beautiful and exactly what I asked for. My guests had nothing but nice things to say about Cheryl. 10/10 recommend!!

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!

Hey there! I'm a candid wedding photographer based in the New York area. I can't help but feel lucky. I get to photograph one of the most important chapters in the love story of each and every of my clients. I get to spend the morning with my brides + their closest gal pals, tear up with the groom watching his soulmate walk down the aisle, and dance the night away with their closest family + friends. Basically, I have the best job ever.

I haven’t even gotten our photos back yet and I already have a rave review. Ellie was so sweet throughout the whole process and even my bridal party raved about her. She definitely made me feel comfortable and imo gave the exact amount of feedback when it came to posing.

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 did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

Yaritza was amazing to work with! She was the best we could have asked for. So nice and considerate and just perfect for our wedding!

Capturing the perfect shot isn't just about clicking a button – it's about feeling the vibe of the room with finesse and a special eye. From directing family formals to wrangling tipsy groomsmen (hey, it happens!), I've got the knack for orchestrating those must-have photos. I also know when to step back and snag those authentic, unfiltered moments (like drunk groomsmen dancing!) that make your story complete.

I'm Alfa, a wedding, engagement, and portrait photographer in New Jersey and New York. My love for photography began years ago when I found myself taking as many candid shots of my then almost 90-year-old grandmother. I kept photographing every instance of her as if with each click of the camera I would extend her stay on this earth. When she was gone in 2008, I found myself with countless photos that brought back precious memories. It was at that point that I realized the power of photography as it allows us to have vivid memories and it also serves as a channel of connection between present and future generations.
