Jenna Salvagin Photography

5.0

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

We really loved working with Jenna and her assistants. We found Jenna through an LGBTQ Facebook group and we felt confident that our relationship and gender presentations would be celebrated. At the wedding, Jenna and her team went above and beyond, even helping with party prep when things went off schedule. She was lovely to communicate with and was so thoughtful in her preparation. Also, we just had a lot of fun together. Not to mention the photos are gorgeous -- beautifully composed and with incredible colors.

We are so grateful to have had Eddie as the lead photographer for our wedding in May 2022.

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.

Jessica is truly amazing!!!! Her professionalism, delightful personality, and remarkable skill brought immense joy to my husband and me. From the ease she created during our engagement photos to the warmth she infused into our wedding day, Jessica exceeded all expectations! She handled a rainy engagement photo day with magic and turned a winter wedding in NY into a heartwarming experience. Her ability to make everyone feel comfortable extended to our family, who couldn't stop praising our great fortune in choosing her as our photographer. Jessica quickly delivered our wedding sneak peek within a week and it truly was the cherry on top of an incredible experience. She genuinely captured the essence of our love-filled day, while additionally making us feel like total models! We absolutely can not wait for the rest of our photos to come in because we know they will be amazing! Thank you Jessica!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography

5.0

Beacon, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000

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 was a pleasure to work with from the very first interaction I had with her. She is full of joy and excitement about her work and it really comes through. We are extremely happy with both the engagement photos and our wedding photos—especially the photos of our reception. She captured the joy and excitement of the day so incredibly well. Looking through the albums allowed us to relive the day together and gave us so many fun snaps of our guests enjoying the party. Neither of us are comfortable in front of a camera, but she somehow managed to help us relax and enjoy the experience, making the pictures even more beautiful. Cappy was there for every important moment of our day without being overwhelming. We all laughed with her during the posed shots of our family and bridal party and she managed to somehow work her way around the dance floor seamlessly to get the most amazing pictures of the party. Being able to see these and share them with family and friends has brought us so much joy and laughter. Cappy is incredibly talented, fun, and easy to work with—zero drama and all smiles. She was on time with everything, including the turnaround of the albums. She brought a second photographer with her to our wedding, Teresa, who was also amazing and they made a GREAT team. We would recommend her work to anyone!

Walden, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600

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 to using 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Nina was a pleasure to work with. We hired her to photograph our wedding in upstate NY and the whole experience was such a pleasure. We are both pretty shy and uncomfortable in front of a camera, and our wedding was as casual as they come, and Nina fit right into that. I feel like I found a best kept photographer secret and am so grateful we chose her!

Clean Plate Pictures began when Erica Beckman left her fancy Photo Editor job at The Wall Street Journal to photograph happy couples full-time - guess what? Weddings are way more fun. Erica earned her degree in photography and uses her twenty years of experience in the industry to bring exacting editorial standards and creative excellence to all her work.

Erica was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. She was incredibly responsive and patient during our booking process. She helped us build the perfect engagement shoot that was exactly what we wanted. And then on wedding day she was everything we needed -- my now husband has said a few times now that Erica's calm, cool, organized demeanor was a HUGE help for our day-of anxiety. We just got back our full gallery of photos and could not be happier. The images are stunning and everything we'd hoped for. Highly recommend Erica and her team!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Let's not just capture moments; let's craft an experience where, perhaps, we'll both discover a new friend in the making.

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

We received all of our photos back and couldn't believe how beautiful they are! We love them all and it was so hard to pick what ones went in our album. Every single part of our day was captured so perfectly. We get to relive the day every time we look at them! Alex made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend an engagement session as well- this was great practice and a lovely chance to get to know Alex. Extra perk- great pics for our save the dates! Alex was also just a huge help throughout the entire day. If she is not photographing you, she is behind the scenes assisting to make sure every detail is perfect. She goes above and beyond her role. She's just the best person and photographer! We had the best time working with her and will recommend her over and over again to our friends.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Sam June is simply an artist. There is an undeniable coolness with her vibe and an authenticity she brings to her work. From the first phone call, through the delivery of our wedding album, Sam shows a passion for her clients and is genuinely able to connect on a deep level through her photography. We were lucky enough to have her genius to capture our wedding day. We had heavy rain the majority of our October wedding in the Hudson Valley, which Sam navigated beautifully at Red Maple Vineyard. Looking back on the photos has allowed us to remember a joyous day in our lives with our friends and family. Sam's eye catches stunning moments you can marvel at. Our family and guests also commented on how much they appreciated Sam's warm presence. We loved every second we got to spend with Sam and will be forever grateful for all her recommendations and guidance throughout the entire wedding process! We have so much love and gratitude for her.

If there is anything I'd love for you to know the most about me, it's this: I will show up for you with compassion, courage and patience (and a little unconventional when inspired). My superhero strength is to see things that you don't; capturing significant moments or your 'perfect side.' I will transform your misconceptions about how you look on camera. It's empowering. I want to do that for you. I received my BFA in fine-arts from Pratt Institute and shot my first wedding in 1992. Photomuse was founded in 2002 and has gone on to become an award-winning photography studio.

When I’m not photographing amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley with my family, brunching with my girlfriends, or planning my next vacation (mostly likely on a beach somewhere). I'm obsessed with warm weather, family gatherings, and sunsets. When it's chilly out, you'll find me with a hot cocoa in hand. If there's music on, it's likely country or throwback 80s jams. ALL people and love stories are welcome here!

There are always things you would do differently, but hiring Debbie Gander Photography is certainly not one of them. Debbie made us feel right at home from the moment we met her. She is professional, but also kind and personable. Our engagment shoot was perfect, and set our minds completely at ease for the big day. When our wedding day arrived, Debbie delivered with the most stunning pictures, some of which we never dreamed could be possible. We will certainly work with Debbie again, that is a certainty.

My passion for photography started at a very young age. Polaroid,Kodak, disposable cameras anything I could get my hands on for as long as I can remember. After working for several years in photojournalism and editing I decided to make the switch to a full time wedding photographer in 2010. I haven’t looked back since. I love the rush and excitement of the wedding day. The ability to meet new people and travel new places. Every weekend I get to experience different families, friends, foods and cultures. It’s not a job it’s a gift. My gift in return to you is images I pour my heart and soul into.

My husband and I could not imagine our wedding without Blue Jar Photo. Meg is truly an artist and captured such beautiful and unique shots of our wedding. If you're looking to commemorate the candid and intimate moments of your special day, Blue Jar Photo can do just that. I could not be happier with our engagement and wedding photos. I highly recommend Blue Jar Photo! Absolutely amazing!

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that.

Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail!

I was born and partially raised in Southern California. After a few years + an exceptionally long cross country road trip - my parents decided to move us to the east coast. We've been complaining about the beaches ever since. My sister was always the artistic one. She sold her first piece while she was still in middle school, it took me a lot longer to figure out what I wanted to do. When I started doing photography - I honestly didn't realize how much I'd love it. It's not just about the lighting, filter, or the pursuit of the perfect Instagram feed. Sometimes it means going into the ocean to get the perfect shot.

Hey there!! My name is Marilyn and I'm so glad you're here ♡ I am a couples + wedding photographer based in New York City, and happy to travel to wherever your day is at! I've had pink hair for the last 6 years so at this point it has become a personality trait and I'm 100% okay with it. I love the outdoors, pat every dog I can, and thrive on ben and jerry's. My ideal place to be would likely be frolicking in wildflowers in a dress that's way too long, but the longer the better. The patio of my NYC apartment with a good book is a close second favorite though, for sure.

She has a way of capturing the big moments beautifully, and even more so, the little in between moments that were such a lovely surprise when we got our photos back. It felt like a friend was along for the ride with us and no matter what little hiccups happen on the day of, you’ll know that she’ll be gifting you with some of the most gorgeous imagery of your days on the other side of it all.

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
We absolutely loved working with Christopher and team. No moment was missed at our wedding. All memories were captured, even the ones less obvious but perhaps closest to the heart. Christopher has a way of beautifully portraying people. We felt that our personalities as well as our families and guests' shined through in the images. Perhaps that is because we felt so comfortable around him. Christopher seamlessly integrates himself into the day and gained our trust immediately. Highly recommended!

We love her!!! She isn't your typical photographer who has a list of places to choose from, requests a date, takes the photo and done. Thalia took her time to get to know us, what we were looking for, to then also present her vision on where we should take our photos. I believe our location was selected based on my husbands and I personality, and not many photographers take the time to piece that together. I am typically not comfortable taking photos but not too long into our session, I found myself wishing the session wouldn't end. It was magical and whimsical. Thalia and her team were kind, nurturing and attentive. We received a detailed timeline and agenda for our session prior too, directions, contact information and she even sent us a few coffee & cafe locations near by so my husband and I can explore! Professionalism and care exists when working with someone like her!!

Sean from Portraits by Sean photographed our wedding rehearsal dinner and wedding and we couldn't have been happier with his work quality and professionalism. He was very flexible and very responsive to our needs. What stands out to me is how much he captured of our guests interactions that we weren't able to see or participate in because we were busy with so many other guests. When we look at the photos, we feel as though we are getting a 360 degree view of the event from the perspective of our guests. We were so pleased that we hired him the following year to photograph my mother's retirement party. I would highly recommend Sean!

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).

That's one of the many amazing parts of my work. I've been capturing love stories for more than seven years and I LOVE to do this for a living.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could write forever and a day about Florencia. Myself and my husband eloped to New York just the two of us. I found Florencia from Instagram and immediately fell in-love with her work however when I met her .. I loved her even more. As we aren’t from New York it was a lot of video chats to begin with, Florencia was always at the end of the phone when I had any worries, questions or wanting to change my mind … sorry Flo! Haha Flo is friendly, honest, calm and fun - everything you need on your wedding day! Right away we said how nervous we were about the ‘posey’ pics- especially my husband. Florencia put us at ease from the first photo till the last, making sure we knew how to stand, pose and also ensuring we had fun along the way. It never felt like we were posing for a camera at all but just chatting with each other and having fun! The photos are breathtaking and we will forever treasure the memories we made. Florencia captured everything we asked for down to location, poses, and also listened to what we didn’t want which to us was very important. There was only me and my husband on our wedding day so to have Flo by our side was amazing. We began to talk about everything from home life to work & before the end of the day she felt like a huge part of our wedding day. I 100% recommend Florencia to anyone wanting a photographer. Her attitude towards her work and her personality alone is a reason to book her … then you get the added bonus of the amazing photos to keep afterwards. From the bottom of my heart - thank you Flo. You are truly an amazing person.

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
TLDR: If you want photos that capture the true, vibrant goodness of your day then book Nicole! She is a consummate professional who can help even the most camera-shy (or averse) relax in front of the lens. The Deets: My husband and I loved working with Nicole from the very start! She was consistently kind, professional and punctual. Communication was easy and efficient! She made us feel like we were in such good hands. Since my husband is camera-averse, it was important for us to find someone who could make the process fun and relaxed. From the first minute of our engagement shoot Nicole made it clear that we were in the right hands! There was no pressure to “perform” and she just gave us little directives as we needed them. The mix of conversation and photo-taking was perfect to put even my husband at ease. Our wedding day continued the good vibes! Nicole and her second shooter were right on time and proceeded to be a dynamic duo. I had quite the laundry-list of portraits and they tackled them with ease. Where Nicole truly shines is in the unposed, natural moments of the day. She captured the mushy-lovey fun and tears all day, making sure to get those little moments of magic in between. Nicole worked seamlessly with my videographer as well. The two of them were less concerned about the rain of the day and more so with our comfort shooting in it. We were game and they both made that rain look like a paid actor! Nicole's photos beautifully reflect the syrupy rich colors I remember, grounding my experience of the wedding day. I can't thank her enough for reflecting the truth of our day so perfectly. Venue: Full Moon Resort, the Catskills (NY) Photo Package: 8-hrs with second shooter

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.

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!

On the day of our pictures, Shelby was very good at helping us relax and ensuring we had fun. We were both a little nervous as we didn't know what to expect but the time went by so quickly, and our photo session was so fun and romantic. Shelby is hilarious, sweet, compassionate, and high-energy. We completely trusted her vision and we were rewarded with wonderful photos for it. She sent over a preview incredibly fast and those pictures were gorgeous! She truly captured the essence of our relationship in her photography. We received our full album a month or so later and are so happy with how the photos turned out. Our friends and family LOVE them and were so impressed. You can genuinely feel the love jumping off the screen, as well as the overall New York energy.

Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and 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 awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Hi! My name is Hannah Jan Schillinger and I’m the owner and lead photographer of Hannah Jan Photo. I grew up in Westchester, New York and graduated from Kenyon College with a degree in Art History. My education in fine art trained me to observe and see the beauty in the everyday. This background guides me to not only capture authentic moments, but gave me a curated eye and ability to document the personality of couples and the spirit of their love celebrations.

Hannah was an amazing photographer from start to finish. Not only was she extremely organized and extremely responsive she had a very very solid process in place and it made us, a pair of neurotic newlyweds, feel completely at ease. She takes really amazing candid shots as well as is really good at giving direction when you want a photo that is more composed. Her flexibility also helps us relax especially given the day itself so hectic. The most incredible part is really actually the fact that we didn’t meet her in person even until our wedding day due to Covid and she still did a stellar job & took the most amazing photos for us that we will definitely cherish for very long time to come.

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

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.

I hired Kim and I am so glad I did! So many of my guests said to me during the event "your photographer is so great" that I was blown away. The end result (the photos) were beautiful thanks to the positions/directions she gave us during the event and also thanks to how at ease Kim made everyone feel. Her professionalism, reliability, organization and communication are all stellar and she took time and care to understand and deliver what I really prioritized. I would hire Kim again and again and again. Thank you Kim!!

Hi, my name is Millie! I picked up a camera 11 years ago and I've been wholeheartedly devoted to this craft ever since. Through photography, I've come to understand that the meaningful connections I form with others hold a special significance for me and should be documented. My journey has naturally directed me toward wedding photography, enabling me to translate your love into art. To me, nothing compares to distilling love into photographs.

Millie had originally gifted me with a free session via an Instagram contest she had. Little did I know that after that my (now fiancé) had reached out to her to help him plan the most beautiful proposal during our shoot. Not only did the photos turn out incredibly gorgeous, but working with Millie from beginning to end was the best experience. I was so nervous for photos and she eased my nerves and made me feel really comfortable and confident in myself. While planning she listened to things that I was interested in and came up with a wonderful plan for our day together. Overall I had the best day of my life (so noted in my title), and cannot wait to work with Millie again in the future!!

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

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 really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

As the bride, there was so much going on and I didn't have to direct J. at all, he just flowed through the preparation, ceremony and party with ease and captured everything. He also had some fabulous ideas for posed pictures post ceremony. From the start I knew he would be great because he contacted me immediately after I sent a request to him and actually PICKED UP THE PHONE to speak in person. Crucial in my book! We were absolutely impressed with his professionalism and the pictures are beyond even "a thousand words". We couldn't be happier.

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.

Christian and Emilio were an absolute joy to work with from our exploratory communications, to the day of our wedding, and the delivery of our photo's and video. We are forever grateful to have them be apart of our special day. They listened to exactly what we asked for. We didn't want a lot of the typical wedding shots and wanted more candid photos. Not only did they deliver on that, some of the more staged photo's that we thought we didn't need, once we saw the outcome, we were happy that they worked a few of those in the mix ;-). Christian and Emilio totally got our vibe and it translated beautifully in photo's and our video. Our friends and family are still raving about it! Listen, we all know that sticking to a budget while wedding planning is necessary yet one of the biggest challenges BUT they are willing to work with you. I'm not kidding. These gents truly have your best interest at heart and that includes giving you quality work within a budget that works for you. My husband and I have very high standards and are very detailed oriented, so this a very honest review. Cross this off your 'vendors to hire' list and HIRE THEM! Don't even think twice about it.

These prompts will help you feel comfortable and also help create candid images. Check out my website for more info :)

Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly.

A dad, a son, a brother and a jack of all trades musician that loves to rock out any chance I get. I grew up in New York City. My inclination towards photography came from classic street photography and photojournalists from all over the world that told their stories through a lens. It made me pick up a camera and start shooting. Now, living in Maryland I shoot all sorts of stories and moments locally, domestically, and abroad. It's taken me a while to figure out what my "thing" is but I've come to figure out that I'm a milestone photographer. The moments your life that have proven to be meaningful -- I'll be there.

From start to finish, Sam provided a wonderful experience as our wedding photographer. He is very approachable, making us feel comfortable right away and like he really knew us as a couple. Communication leading up to our wedding was perfect, not too much, not too little.. it was just right. Then they day of, he was timely, quick, and just blended in with the entire event wonderfully. I received so many comments from my bridal party and guests on “what a fun guy he is!” And then the final product that was delivered was ahmazing! I still love looking at our photos that documented our special day.

Melissa photographed our May 2022 wedding, and I would definitely recommend her! We first contacted Melissa after a friend referred us to her.  Melissa was consistently communicative, agile, and punctual throughout the entire process.  Her vibe aligned exactly with what we were seeking, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. The quality and style of her images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. We were looking for a candid-style wedding photographer with a relaxed style that’s both modern and timeless.   The connection and ease we found with her shows through in the final product.  Melissa’s eye for detail is astounding, and beyond her technical expertise, she is a joy to work with.  We have the most beautiful and unrushed photos from our magical, big day.  If you’re looking for a cheap photographer, Melissa definitely isn’t the one for you. But if you value photography and want someone who is a master of their craft and a true professional all-round, look no further.  Plus, she offers something that not all photographers can – true artistry.  Our wedding photos are completely unique to us and our event, we framed a print that hangs over our couch and receives frequent compliments. We also purchased a fine art album which is quite simply a work of art. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Melissa Marx Photography!

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!

Anj Photographer

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!
