New York, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Pleasant Valley, NY

We are a married couple of photographers. Within years of career, we discovered what’s really matters - we want to make people happy. Weddings have it all: new interesting people, touching stories, warm family relationships, tears. A lot of tears! Oh, don’t forget dances and sparklers! So, it’s fun! 🙂 Also, we love weddings because it’s the most challenging kind of photography in the field, it combines all the genres. It make you think, move and react quickly in constantly changing surrounding. We have no room for mistakes. So It’s never boring! 🙂

Awarded Best of Zola
Planning a wedding is stressful and feels like trying to juggle a thousand different things. Hiring Tati and Roman meant we knew we didn’t have to worry about one of the biggest aspects of our wedding day. From the beginning their communication and professionalism set the standard. The pre wedding planning they do made it so easy day of. The day of our wedding it rained all day they already had back up locations for the weather. They arrived on time and were so friendly and calming throughout the day. They made sure we got all the pictures we wanted done. When we got the photos back we were blown away by how amazing they all came out. We have been getting non stop compliments from friends and family about them! Tati and Roman need to be on the top of your list if you’re getting married in NYC

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Jenna Salvagin Photography

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.

Jenna was absolutely amazing to work with, we are so appreciative of all of her time and effort! My husband and I had a small wedding with our immediate family and we are so happy with all of the beautiful photos we ended up with. Jenna is highly organized and really goes above and beyond on every aspect. She made an effort to chat with us ahead of time so we could get to know each other a bit and to understand our style. At the wedding, she helped keep things moving seamlessly and really captured the intimate feeling of the day, while helping my husband and I feel super comfortable the whole time. She is a lovely person, phenomenal photographer, and we really cannot recommend her enough!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

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!

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?

“Where do I start - Erica is amazing. From my first FaceTime call with her, I knew I had to have Erica as a part of our wedding day one way or another. After my call, my husband was like, Wow, you sound like you are friends already – and it was true! Instant connection! We wanted our wedding to be full of good vibes, great people, and positivity, and we knew Erica would make it even more special. Erica is a professional at what she does, but not only that, she is one of the most amazing, kind, caring, loving, thoughtful people I have ever met. She is one of those people that has so much passion in everything she does, and spreads positivity and love wherever she goes. Erica was so responsive, organized, and fun to work with throughout the whole process, and I am so thankful we had her. She felt like a close friend that i have known forever. Erica is one special person and really excels in her craft.

When my husband and I first met Erica at our engagement shoot, we were like, Wow, this girl is so cool! She made taking pictures so easy (which can be awkward), and the pictures were flawless. She really captured who we are as a couple. After the engagement shoot, we couldn’t be more excited for having her for our wedding day. Erica also came to the walkthrough meeting at our venue, and she really helped us envision the day, giving us visuals of where the best photos would be, and helping pan out our timeline. And she brought my whole family coffee - how cool and thoughtful is she?! Right before the wedding, she also sent us a Starbucks gift card to enjoy a small coffee break together - so amazing. It’s the little things in life that matter the most, and Erica captures that essence to a tee.

On our wedding day, Erica and her second photographer were so fun and caring to work with. She found the most amazing locations to take pictures at our venue, and I may be biased, but I think we had the best wedding photos ever! Erica really caters to you and what you want, which is what your wedding day should be all about. She made everyone in our family so comfortable with taking pictures and captured such special moments that I will treasure for the rest of my life. Our family and friends continue to compliment how nice Erica and her second photographer were, and after seeing the pictures, everyone was in awe at how amazing everything came out. I couldn’t be more thankful and blessed for my wedding day, and having Erica as a part of that made it better. Do not question booking Erica – you will be thankful you did!!!

I have been photographing weddings for 12 years and I love every second of it! I live in the Hudson Valley, but I travel all over the world for weddings. I started photographing weddings in college on the side and once I graduated I knew I wanted to continue to pursue weddings! If you'd like to inquire, please do so through my website!

After working with dozens of photographers, Jordan is hands down the most experienced, professional, and talented. In addition to working with her, she has also photographed for us personally so we have had first hand experience of how awesome she is!

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

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.

Nina is by far one of the most professional, fun and down to earth photographers I have worked with. When you work with her just know that it will feel like you're best friend is shooting your wedding! Her photos are absolutely stunning. From Boudoir to headshots, family pictures and weddings she can do it all and make them look absolutely PERFECT.

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. Her documentary style captures genuine emotions and artfully records events as they unfold organically.

Erica and Elle were a dream to work with for our wedding! After seeing Erica in action at a wedding I was in the bridal party for, we knew we wanted her to photograph our Brooklyn wedding too. From the planning, to wrangling everyone day-of, to the photographs themselves and our wonderful album, we could not have asked for a better person to document our wedding. Since then, Clean Plate Pictures also photographed my sister's wedding and that of a good friend. Erica also referred us to our Coordinator and Photobooth, both of whom we were also incredibly happy with. We can not recommend Clean Plate enough!

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.

I have reached out to Viviana in 2019 for our wedding in May 2020. She was accommodating and gave us a lot of information and We just clicked right off the bat. Our wedding was postponed due to Covid and she was so helpful along the way and making the rescheduling as easy as possible from her end. We got married July 2021 Viviana was amazing. My fiancé and I are not big in to pictures but Viviana made it easy and the pictures were absolutely amazing. Throughout the entire day guests would comment on hell she was all over the place getting such great pictures. She even got pictures that I had no clue she even took and when I received all of our pictures was amazed at what an amazing job she did. I would recommend her to anyone.

Welcome! I'm Anita. I aim to freeze moments in time, ensuring they never fade away. Picture this: the exact curve of a smile, the hues of an unforgettable sunset, the ability to relive a cherished memory and rewind time. I value creating a safe haven for every facet of your humanity. Whether you're camera-shy or uncertain about interacting with a stranger, I strive to make the process comfortable. Let's not just capture moments; let's craft an experience where, perhaps, we'll both discover a new friend in the making.

We chose little cacti photography after meeting with a bunch of different photographers for our micro-wedding/elopement ceremony. Anita was such a pleasure to work with and knew exactly what we wanted to make our special day extra special. She lived up to our expectations and then some. We couldn't be happier with the way our pictures turned out. She is prompt, professional, funny, caring and really loves what she does and it shows in her work. We couldn't be happier with how she captured our special day. We highly recommend Little Cacti Photography.

Rebecca has been working as a professional photographer for over 10 years. She began with a small film camera, taking photos at her favorite concerts. As she grew, so did her unique style and her passion. She attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Ca. and obtained a BA in Advertising Photography. Over the past 10 years she has had the opportunity to photograph events in places such as Portland, Or., San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Monterey, Ca., Washington DC, Florida and now New York City. She frequently travels for her photography and loves every moment.

My wife and I used Rebecca for both our engagement and wedding photos because of how easy to work with and enjoyable the photo shoots were. Not to mention how gorgeous all her work turns out! We’re both camera shy people but this was the most pain-free and happy experience I’ve ever had in front of a camera. Rebecca is great with making sure her client’s needs are met but is also good at going with the flow and making the environment/setting work for her. If I have any other life events that need to be photographed, I know who my only call would be!

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 is an amazing photographer and even more amazing teammate on your wedding day! She is comforting, totally in control and overly creative to capture all the shots. From the moment we booked her she was incredibly responsive and helpful! I cannot recommend someone more!

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've been snapping photos for over 25 years now. What began as a fun little hobby quickly spiraled into an all-consuming passion. For more than two decades, I've been knee-deep in the world of consumer packaged goods (CPG) as a marketing executive, rocking the suit-and-tie look like a champ. But you know what they say about following your dreams? Well, I finally listened. I ditched the corporate scene to capture the joy of weddings and to preserve the intrinsic beauty that surrounds us. Through my work, I aim to preserve memories, highlight untold moments, and foster a deeper connection between the viewer and my images.

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. 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! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

Moments. Details. Emotions. These are the things that define you, your life and your most important events. How do you want to remember them? My approach is to be as non-invasive and invisible as possible. The less you know I am there, the more reality I am able to capture. I do not want to be a director. I want to be an observer; a documentarian; most importantly, a story teller. Each moment in your life builds a story. That story deserves to be relived and passed on. i want to help you remember those moments, those details, those emotions that make up your life.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Marilyn did an amazing job capturing our wedding day in March, and working with her was a blast. Ever since our engagement shoot last spring, we had a gut feeling that Marilyn was the perfect fit to document our big day, and we were totally right! Throughout the planning process, Marilyn was super easy to communicate with. Just a week after the wedding, we got a sneak peek of the photos, and wow, we were blown away! Marilyn's shots didn't just capture the big moments and little details; they also managed to freeze-frame all the feels of the day. We know looking back at these pics will instantly transport us back to our special day! Aside from being super pro and talented, Marilyn is also just a really cool person. She brought such a calming vibe, especially during the hectic moments. It was clear she genuinely cared about us, not just as clients, but as friends too. All in all, Marilyn and her assistant, Emma, were a dream team to work with. We're so thankful for their skills, professionalism, and the genuine care they put into every snap. Now, we're eagerly waiting for the full album to relive all those epic moments!

All I can say is, we are actually upset the wedding is over cause we won’t be able to hang out with Jen and Steve anymore! These two are some of the most talented and kind hearted artists we have ever met. Simply by looking at their portfolio you can tell how timelines and unique their style is - but working with them was a true pleasure. We did an engagement session with them in Sparta and not only did we get the most beautiful sunset pictures that screamed our personality of laughing and love, but we had such a fun day. Jen had so many cool ideas to get shots that we ended up hanging in our house. At our wedding, Jen and Steve were extremely professional, punctual, and organized. They listened to us and understood what shots were most important to us; they tracked the weather (as it was going to rain) so well that we ended up getting a 2 hour pocket without rain for our Bride Groom shots. At the church, they were both so stealth that you didn’t even realize that they were there! I started crying before I walked down the aisle, and while I got to know Jen really well cause she was with the girls in the morning, Steve was there before I walked down the aisle and with a calming smile provided words of comfort. I do not have one bad thing to say about them, and would refer them a thousand times over and over.

Shelby is incredibly easygoing and flexible, with a genuine focus on making your day true to you. During our consultation in the weeks before the ceremony, it was evident that we would be comfortable in front of the camera with her in charge. Aside from asking for a handful of specific family shots, we gave her full creative control of the day, and I can’t put into words how beautifully her vision came to life. Looking through her portfolio ahead of time, I admittedly expected the photos with my husband and family to be gorgeous given her clear editing and shooting talent. Needless to say, my expectations were very high for the full album. As we opened our album for the first time, we were absolutely blown away by her ability to capture the emotions of our guests during the ceremony. The photo of my mom tearing up, my best friend grinning ear-to-ear while holding my bouquet, and the sweet soft smile of my father-in-law leaning in closer to hear our vows better are all moments that I didn’t get to experience during the ceremony, but will now forever be a part of that day for me. Through photos, she managed to make an already perfect day full of even more joy and emotion. What she provided for us was absolutely priceless and I will be searching for new moments for her to capture in the future.

Awarded Best of Zola
I have never written a public review in my life but knew I wanted to share our rehearsal and wedding photography experience with Miranda - our entire family was absolutely delighted, impressed, and grateful to have worked with her. Let me explain: - Miranda takes the time to genuinely understand you as a couple (way before the event), and fully absorbs the stories and requests you share with her. Her ability to immediately grasp who’s who and the family dynamics was crucial to seamlessly leading the photography sessions. She felt like an extension of us, and not a stranger who was trying to keep track of the details. - Miranda’s energy is extremely positive AND professional!!! These were two stressful days and yet, Miranda’s presence was always calming, supportive, and brought that fun spark (and sometimes truly emotional side) out in all of us. - Miranda’s sensitivity (and flexibility) goes a long, long way. Any time we needed a break or didn’t quite feel up to a specific pose, she was all ears. This openness and flexibility was so appreciated - we loved that we could keep things fluid, without having to go back and forth about what to do next - The photo quality!!! We got our sneak peek photos exactly one day after (such a wonderful surprise!!), and could not be more thrilled with the quality of the photos!!! The ability to capture the sweet moments, telling expressions, and overall beauty is just something else. We are SO happy with our photos!!! Looking back at these photos and also witnessing some of the moments we may have missed in person make these even more special. We cannot wait to see the full gallery, and look forward to having future celebrations where we can work with her again :)

Rayleen and Tim are the best photographers in New England. When my partner’s family hired them to capture family portraits for his grandmother’s 85th birthday, he secretly arranged to use them for a surprise proposal the very next day. Rayleen was completely into the whole idea and came incognito so she wouldn’t be recognized the next day. She even brought her partner Tim and their son to disguise themselves as a family taking pictures at the beach. While my now husband was proposing to me, she sprung into action and captured everything. She even brought in cute touches like covertly taking a picture of my hand at the birthday party without the ring, and then putting it next to a picture with the ring to capture my transformation over that weekend. The pictures were epic, beautifully framed, well lit and colored, and captured so much of the feeling of that day. Once we started planning our wedding we immediately booked them for our photographers and because of a postponement due to COVID, we ended up working with them for three years. Rayleen took our engagement pictures and was really helpful in narrowing down a good location. During this photoshoot, Rayleen climbed up a tree so she could get the perfect angle, while pregnant! She spent the entire afternoon taking pictures of us and making us look our best. When our wedding day finally came, Rayleen and Tim delivered. Our wedding was outside, in July, during like a 90-degree day. They were total troopers making sure we got all the pictures we wanted of the ‘first look’, ourselves, the bridal party, and families before the ceremony even started. They were super creative with their photo ideas and also made sure they captured all the pictures both my husband and I wanted. Rayleen and my husband even conspired to surprise me again for a huge group photo at the end of the night, which involved them bringing their own bubble machine to complete the shot. I would easily recommend Meraki Photo, Inc for your wedding photographers, and I know we will be using them again for our future photography needs.

HI, I'm Alli! I am a destination wedding & portrait photographer traveling around the United States since 2016! As your wedding photographer my goal is to capture the memories you're in the moment experiencing so you can be taken right back to the day no mater how much time has passed. Wedding photography is so much more than pretty pictures. These are heirlooms that you will pass down to those who love you, so let's give them honest real images about a love worth remembering JUST AS IT IS!

Awarded Best of Zola
We fell in love with Alli’s photos when we were first searching for a wedding photographer and instantly had a connection once we reached out to her. She first shot our engagement shoot and we were so impressed with the photos we got back. The lighting, the edits, and how comfortable she made us feel truly showed in how amazing the photos came out. Then on our wedding day, she came on time, was well prepared and it felt like she was just one of the girls there to help me keep it together! Our wedding was shot in a dark building, which we were a little worried about the photos being dark but they were phenomenal! She got every shot we asked for and then some. Alli really knows her stuff, and I honestly would pick her a thousand times over again if I had to do it again!

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. 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.

Simply put, Kathryn was amazing. The pictures came out beyond magical. Prior to our wedding, she was so communicative and made sure to answer any questions we had. She took the time to understand expectations and made sure we were on the same page. She is on top of details and played a big role in making sure our day ran smoothly! Part of our memories of our day was simply how fun it was to work with her and Antoine. Both of them are just soo personable that we were sad our day ended because it means we won’t see them again. We could not be more pleased with the results. Kathryn delivered a huge collection of stunning photos. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Kathryn to all couples looking for a photographer. We love you Kathryn and the team, thank you for being a dream team to work with. Keep it up!

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 a fabulous photographer for our wedding and I heartily recommend her to everyone! Long before the event took place, she made sure we were all on the same page about the process and what she would be capturing. She held our hand through our dealings with difficult family members, and made everyone feel great during the portraits. She is extremely professional, discreet, and was honestly the MVP of our wedding team, offering welcome advice along the way. The photos she took are beautiful, energetic, and we're so happy to have them.

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!

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.

Anj did our surprise proposal, engagement shoot, and wedding and we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out and the experience it was working with her! She had no problem traveling to our destinations (nyc and Boston area) and was on time and professional. She was wonderful working with special requests to craft a perfect experience. You can tell she really enjoys her job which made it really fun for us and allowed us to soak up some of our biggest moments. I highly recommend working with her as she will make you feel comfortable, craft your event to your liking, and execute the product beautifully!

They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit.

She always stayed in touch, and when the pandemic hit made sure to let us know that she is available to figure out solutions incase we cannot go through with our original plans. Kara was incredibly professional and gave us suggestions for poses, scouted photo locations, and met with us before our elopement. She was very flexible and understanding when we had to change our wedding to be smaller and then to an elopement all together. On the day of she came to photograph us on time, gave us great direction and made us feel comfortable during the whole process. It was like having a friend around, which meant a lot to us since we had o one but us on our special day due to COVID. We had so much fun shooting we didn't notice our time was up! She was so excited about our photos she send us sneak peeks within hours of our ceremony, while on her layover. Needless to say we were thrilled and amazed with the end photos she provided. She had the final gallery ready for us within the timeline she provided in her contract ( actually even earlier than we expected!) The photos were presented in an easy to access gallery where you can also print them or make them into an album. We are absolutely in LOVE with the photos she took of us! We will cherish them for the rest of our lives. Thank you Kara!

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for.

Hey future newlyweds! I'm Jarrod, a wedding photographer that specializes in story telling. Tired of all the bright, overposed, cookie cutter sh*t you keep seeing? 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 :)

Jarrod did an amazing job on our wedding day! We were so very grateful to have him there with us. He was absolutely amazing and did a great job collaborating with our other vendors and coordinating logistics and timing of what we wanted to have done. We were so happy that we got videography done for our big day- feels like we’re reliving it each time we watch it! Highly recommend and very worth it!!!

We’re Anton & Natalie - your new adventure buddies! On our first date we spent the day doing what we love most, getting outside. That’s also how we spent our wedding day, and most other significant, life-altering moments in our relationship. We fundamentally believe that the best day of your life should be spent doing what makes your heart sing. You’re not here because you don’t care about your day, you’re here because you care more. You don’t want the ordinary and traditional. You want care more about experiences rather than material possessions. You want the authentic, intimate, and intentional day which focuses on YOU as a couple.

I tell each couple’s story beautifully and comprehensively in a way that is uniquely them creating wedding photography that emphasizes raw emotion, subtle gesture and straight-up fun! I've been photographing weddings professionally since 2004 and have run my own business for over 15 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
WOW! If I could rate TEN stars for Michelle, I would. We were very serious about the person we hired to capture our special day as these are the images we will have to remember our wedding day for the rest of our lives. We knew our photographer would also spend the whole day with us so it was important we did our due diligence to meet with every candidate. Most initial meetings were very quick, but we just hit it off the second we met Michelle in person and it was a NO brainer after that day. Michelle is INCREDIBLY talented and a true master of her craft. She captures the most unique and special moments and told the full story of our wedding day from start to finish. She is very professional and was super easy to work with! From our engagement shoot right off the bat she helped us not feel so awkward in front of the camera and on our wedding day, almost didn't even realize she was there! I am beyond thankful for the amazing photos we will have to cherish from an incredible day. I could go on for hours, but if you are in need for a wedding photographer, look no further and book with Michelle ASAP! THANK YOU MICHELLE !!!! <3

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.

I have known Sam, the owner, for a number of years. There are many things I can speak to about his business and him as a person. First thing is that feeling you get when you meet someone that is so fun to be around that you simply don't want to stop being around them. Sam puts a smile on my face every time I see him and hear his contagious laugh. Sam also crushes the benchmark for professionalism and success in the wedding industry. What I mean by that is that if 9/10 photographers get 5 star reviews, on the same scale Sam would deserve 7 or 8 stars. He is well beyond many of our peers and it shows in the quality of his work. If I was to get married again I would choose Sam over any of the 60 or so photographers I have worked with over the years. Hands Down! Chris Hiltz Award-Winning Wedding Videographer
