Hey there! I am Katrina. I am a lifestyle, wedding and elopement photographer. My style is without a doubt moody. I live for those candids. I thrive when you are authentically and unapologetically yourself!

Katrina was there to capture our engagement and there was no one else I would rather have photograph our wedding. She is phenomenal to work with, light hearted with a great sense of humor. The way she captured our day was pure magic! 10/10!! :)

Sydney K Andrew Photography

5.0

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

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

When so tell you Sydney will be the photographer for all my life events - it’s the truth! Sydney’s photos are not only beautiful , but she also checks in on her brides through the night - and stands up for them with questions towards any staff members needed - etc. Sydney has truthfully become like a part of my life shooting multiple events for me already and she will continue to be that person for me and my husband.

Maybrook, NY

  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Schenectady, NY

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

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

  • Starts at $2,500

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.

Ive worked Anj many times and a valuable and talented person. Her attention to detail is precise and creative. Style and elegant photography. Love working with her. Highly recommend .

Schenectady, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

LGBTQ+ Owned. Serving everyone equally. Specializing in queer, off-beat, and non-traditional weddings and families. Kristen and Sheridan are the Capital District's only married LGBTQ+ wedding photography team.

It's hard to put in words how fantastic Kristen is! She is so talented, down to earth and the coolest person you will ever meet! I am also a photographer and I have second shot many times with her and her wife Sheridan! YAY! I love working with both because they are so professional first of all, and also it's so much fun! They have this vibe that creates this fun atmosphere to be around. I so enjoy working with them. Weddings can be stressful, even as a photographer but working with them, I have never been stressed or felt like we needed to rush. They are so easy to work with. Kristen and Sheridan are the best duo photographers there are! I love watching them work along side each other. Both have the greatest attitude and love their job. I also like that they schedule your day perfectly and they get to know you. Every time I work with them I'm amazed how connected they are with their couples. It's amazing to see. They photograph so many weddings, sometimes 3 in a weekend but yet they are connected with each and every couple. I have always looked up to Kristen and it's amazing seeing her grow and seeing all the beautiful work she has done for her couples. If you are looking for a photographer, (being a photographer myself) I recommend Kristen 100x and more if I could!! She will light up a room, ease your day if you are nervous, create beautiful images and just be present with you. :)

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 .

It’s close to where I grew up and where my family lives in the Catskills. I love EVERYTHING about a wedding day; the anticipation, the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, and the simple fact that everyone you know is gathered to celebrate with you. I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples and friends and family and it gives me so much joy. I want you to have the BEST day!!

Bridget Caitlin

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

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

Awarded Best of Zola
From the first chat I had with Bridget I knew we were going to be friends & that she was just the person I wanted to capture our wedding day. Her warmth, bubbly personality & passion for what she does shines through in each & every conversation with her. My husband hates having pictures taken, so getting to meet with Bridget for our engagement session gave him an idea of what to expect on our wedding day. We both genuinely enjoyed the engagement session & left feeling so confident in having chosen her to be our wedding photographer. Flash forward to our wedding day, Bridget exceeded any & all expectations. Her creative eye, her excitement & genuineness all blended together to make the perfect person to have by our sides all day. From the second Bridget got to the venue, her energy & happiness were contagious. Talk about a hype girl! She made me feel like a bridal vision the entire day & she was undoubtedly the right choice for a wedding day photographer. We received countless compliments from family, bridal party members and guests about her. We received sneak peaks very quickly after our wedding (& there were SO many more than we expected). We received our full gallery in the allotted time provided in the contract & they did not disappoint! I haven’t been able to stop looking at the pictures since we’ve received them & it further reinforced that she was the best person to capture memories we will cherish for a lifetime. If you are in the market for a photographer, especially for your wedding day, hire Bridget & I promise you will not be disappointed! Bridget’s organization, attention to detail, talent & personality made the process seamless. Not only was Bridget by my side throughout our whole wedding day but she has become my friend & I simply adore her. We plan to work with Bridget for years to come!

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

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

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

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

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

I have had the pleasure to work with many photographer's, but theres something that Jaci does that stands out from the rest. Jaci has an amazing ability to hone in on a moment, and really surround herself in the subject, and has the relationship with almost perfect strangers that comes off as if they have known each other for years. Jaci's body of work is stunning, with a unique way of capturing moments that you wouldnt even know are happening, and showcases them as if they were choreographed. All in all, an amazing experience, an amazing personality, and outstanding professionalism.

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

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

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

Meghan shot our summer camp wedding in September of 2023 and did an amazing job! We asked Meghan to come early to our wedding to capture our guests enjoying the various camp activities and the pictures came out fantastic! Her attention to detail and photographic composition skills are great and her photos really tell the story of our special day. As a testament to the previous statement, we had a full moon and clear sky on our wedding night and Meghan had the idea to get a shot of us together under the moonlight which made for a fantastic picture! Meghan's communication, professionalism, and skills are top notch and we would highly recommend her for your special day!!

  • Starts at $999

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

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

Love is what motivates and inspires me every single day. I am a hopeless romantic, and absolutely love every sentimental moment of a wedding. I strive to capture real moments, genuine smiles, and raw emotion.

Jenna and her team are the best of the best. They are passionate about their work and not only did they work very hard throughout our entire wedding day to make it the day of our dreams but they worked very hard every step of the way from the day we signed our contract. Jenna provides an extra level of organization in all that she does by essentially playing a double role as not only your photographer but day of wedding planner which was so helpful to me as I had used her timelines, checklist and guidance to present to all of my other vendors to make an overall plan. Jenna has a beautiful eye for photography and is timely with her work. I received a sneak peak right after my wedding in which I’m already receiving rave reviews over. Jenna is professional and kind. Her attention to detail is astounding. During the planning stages of my wedding I performed a lot of vendor research. Time and time again would I come across other photographers that I consistently compared back to Jenna’s work. To me and my preferences, nothing compared to her elegant, light, professional and timeless style. It was an easy choice. I would highly recommend Jenna and her team. Jenna additionally shot our engagement photos and had continuous touch points with us to get us ready for our wedding day. In this way, I feel as though we’ve even begun to develop a friendship with Jenna as I felt on the day of my wedding I’ve truly known her for years. In moments of anxiousness and raw emotion I found myself looking to Jenna without even thinking twice as that is the level of comfort she brought to me on my wedding day. Her professional and passionate yet personable approach to her job is both impressive and admirable. I can’t thank Jenna enough for being a part of our special day as well as executing it with complete perfection.

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

We absolutely loved Jen and Jeremy. They listened to what I wanted and didn’t go over board with the “corney” pics. I put my wedding together in 5 months, so I leaned on them for picture inspiration and I’m glad I did!! The day started as they went to my husbands house first to take pics and Jen literally put boutonnières on every guy there. They got to our house and took pics of everything I asked for plus more. Jen helped put my veil on a few times during the day, and just made sure I was looking good. They were attentive and really did a great job, we all had a lot of good laughs that day! They’re super funny, have awesome personalities and are just really good people.. not to mention they work magic!!

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

If we had to do it all over again, we would hire Laura without a doubt. Not just a photographer, Laura became a friend and helped keep us at ease throughout the day, especially during the pre-wedding frenzy. We are so lucky to have found Laura for our engagement in 2019. We were so blown away by the quality of her work and the amazing shots she captured, but also by how much fun we had working with her. Immediately after receiving our engagement photos, we knew Laura had to be the person that photographed our wedding. Thankfully Laura was available on our original wedding date (2020) and on our Covid-postponed wedding date. And we’re so glad she was—we truly couldn’t imagine working with anyone else! Laura was an incredible help throughout our wedding day, making sure we captured the pictures we wanted and adapting on the fly as wedding timelines change. She remained calm, cool, and collected, doing all she could to help us make decisions and keep things on track. Laura was also so helpful leading up to our wedding day. As our day got closer, we emailed and spoke on the phone to map out the timeline of the day, especially the pre-wedding timeline as we wanted to do a first look and most of the pictures with our wedding party and immediate family before the ceremony. She also does an amazing job capturing photos of our dog, including a first look that we did with him that Laura meticulously captured from a variety of angles. She scoped out various places for first looks, décor pictures, and so much more. We cannot say enough good things about Laura. She is an absolute pleasure to work with (wonderful person, easy going, flexible, and so fun), captures amazing photos that became instant keepsakes, and takes so much pride in her work. We were truly speechless when at the end of the night Laura gave us a framed photo from our wedding, earlier that day. Thank you for everything, Laura. There are no words to describe how much we love working with you and we will absolutely be working together again!

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).

I'm not sure where to start with how amazing Chrysa is, from boudoir to a couples session she's your personal cheerleader, she makes you feel like a freakin queen during boudoir and during a photoshoot with your significant other she makes you feel like the hottest couple around. If you haven't booked a shoot with Chrysa what exactly are you waiting for?! When I received my boudoir gallery my jaw dropped, I literally couldn't believe that was ME, she makes your confidence go from 0-100 real quick. I 100% recommend Chrysa, she is the absolute best.

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
After drowning in Zola quotes and estimates, I found Dani online and was immediately drawn to her typeface, website, and company name. She seemed down to earth and photographed all different types of bodies and couples, which was very important to us both. She was quick to jump on a zoom call and we booked her within 20 minutes of talking (and laughing). Dani photographed our wedding (and engagement shoot) in September 2022. While she usually does small elopements, she was so kind as to take on out 125 person wedding – showing up in Vermont for our three day affair (shooting the welcome event, wedding, and Sunday brunch). This girl even jumped on a canoe with my mom to capture our fun Sunday event rafting down the Connecticut River. Dani is extremely professional, organized, and communicative across all platforms (via text, email, and on IG). She had our first round of images from our wedding – I think within 48 hours?!? Dani is dedicated to her craft and just overall an extremely lovely person and was extremely patient with us as I tried to coordinate a wedding from the New Mexican desert while writing a thesis. I feel strongly that she captured everything so beautifully – from the décor, to the venue, to capturing my husband and I in all the emotions – happy tears, calmness, goofyness, sexiness, romanticness – and even obliged my insane request of pulling over and getting some shots in a Victorian Graveyard. Dani is happy to capture whatever you choose to define as romantic, even mossy tombstones in the middle of the woods. Our engagement shots in the city are equally as lovely, despite being a totally different environment. I never once felt self-conscious or aware of myself and just love the love that shines through in each photo. Not only were we so thrilled to have these wonderful photos and memories for the rest of our lives, we are so lucky to also have made a new friend. I received endless compliments on just how lovely the photos were (long exposure images of the milky way with shooting stars – how is that even possible??) and I’m so happy we found Dani and would recommend her to any couple who is looking for photos that are soft, capture the golden hour, and your love. She somehow manages to be timeless without giving you a cookie cutter album of wedding shots. 1000/10 recommend – book Dani to talk about dogs, tattoos, concerts while getting effortlessly beautiful memories of you and your loved ones.

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
From our initial call with Andrea, we knew she and her team would be an amazing asset to our big day. Words cannot begin to describe how Amative Creative exceeded our expectations! From the moment Andrea and the team arrived, it was like a long lost sister/friend/aunt/hypesuperwoman blew through the door. They were everywhere and all over, and yet not visible in the way you've seen *those* photographers & videographers at events. AND THE SNEAK PEAK ALBUM.... WOW!!!! A little over three months into our marriage and we STILL rave about how extraordinary Amative Creative captured our event, and we cannot wait to see the rest!

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
My husband and I absolutely loved working with Nicole!! Her photos are incredible and she was incredibly professional and communicative throughout the whole experience. The day of our wedding she brought the exact kind of vibe we were hoping for, very relaxed and fun. We’d recommend her again and again!

So we scheduled our wedding day, then few months later COVID hit. So I was like oh we have time we good. Then it kept getting closer and closer.... I was freaking out, but luckily Ashley as our photographer, helped me to stay calm, while continuing to finish planning the wedding. Her photos captured all the love that my husband and I share. She got more then I expected of clear beautiful photos. I never thought I would have beautiful photos because I HATE taking photos. She made me feel beautiful and like a model. I can not thank you enough for everything!

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

Isaac went above and beyond! We had him for both our engagements photos and wedding. My husband and I are not big on taking photos and he made us feel so comfortable.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jessica Yurko was my favorite part of planning my wedding - no, I’m serious! January 2023 - we had just booked our venue and we were starting to look into other vendors. It was overwhelming and as a person with a lot of anxiety, the idea of reaching out to strangers was daunting to me. However, as I clicked through Jessica’s website, the anxiety started to ebb. I would later learn that every Jess says and does is embused with complete earnesty and passion, and without realizing it, that earnesty was reading loud on clear to me on her website. I reached out and sent her a long, rambly story about how I met and became engaged to my husband, and I’m almost certain I didn’t proofread it, so it was probably riddled with typos, and I hit send and started to hope that she had our date free and didn’t mind dealing with a tiny, crazy person. Jessica reached out and was immediately SO nice and kind and…well, excited to talk to me. We scheduled out first zoom and over the course of about an hour it felt like we became friends. We both showed off our dogs, talked about our favorite movies, made jokes, laughed at bad puns - and all of this while she was professionally explaining to me what the wedding photography process was like, what her packages entailed, and what to expect moving forward. The good feelings I had grew, and were clearly mutual and we had a contract out and signed without 24 hours. Leading up to the wedding, her communications were clear and everything she asked us to do made sense. She made sure our shot list was exactly what we wanted it to be, and even made suggestions based on her experience here or there. I had a few silly requests too which she took in stride and helped plan out to a T. On the day of the wedding she was EARLY. Early! The woman is magic, I swear. She immediately clicked with my bridesmaids and helped me make the day feel even more special for them (it was already super special for me - I was the bride!). She corralled us all and kept us on schedule while taking what turned out to be AMAZING shots. In wedding photos, you do a lot of looking at your loved ones and “laughing” - laughing is in quotes because it can feel awkward to force a laugh. But Jessica helped us really laugh and smile, and all the genuine affection my husband and I felt for each other and our wedding party really comes through in every photograph. I look at each photo and remember each moment, and I’m so glad we hired Jess to capture them. By the end of the night, my husband and I felt like she was our friend. And so did our friends! The bridesmaids were chatting her up all night. My cousins called me over to tell me they loved her - she’d given them some advice about what to do with their hands in a picture pose. When we got our pictures backed, in a little email with a subject line: smile mail!, I was once again reminded how lucky I felt to have worked with this woman. And you best believe that every time I have the chance, I will be recommending her services and seeking her out for my own needs every chance I get. Jessica Yurko, I love you!!

There’s truly not enough words for me to express how much we LOVE Lindsay and everything she does! She is one of the sweetest, most personable people we’ve ever met. She makes you feel so comfortable and truly knows her stuff! All the way from our engagement shoot, she was so accommodating in helping to pick a location, and then helping to reschedule and pick a second location when we got rained out!! She turned around out photos SO FAST and they were all breathtaking. For our wedding, we had Lindsay and Nathan for photo and video, and again they did NOT disappoint. I had initially wondered if I should have Lindsay bring a second shooter, but decided to opt against it, and truly Lindsay’s photos turned out as if there were MORE than two shooters. She sets up still cameras, and between her and Nathan moving around like ninjas we have more angles and more photos than we could have ever thought possible. Our photos and our video all turned out better than we could have DREAMED. Her style is light and bright and beautiful but she has an amazing ability to also capture moody-type photos. Lindsay made sure we got to take photos in all of the locations around our venue that were important to us, but also did her research and came prepared with some location suggestions within our venue as well. Once again, Lindsay turned everything around in way less than the timeframe she quoted us, which is amazing since we got married amidst the height of busy wedding season. Lindsay communicates quickly and efficiently, and kept in touch with us through every step of the way. Lindsay Eileen Photography was truly the icing on our perfect day and we could NOT be more thankful for both Lindsay and Nathan and the GORGEOUS work they do!

We were so lucky to find and connect with Kim for our wedding photos. Planning it for the 3rd time – yes, we are one of those pandemic couples – we were so nervous about having to find someone quickly that we liked. Pictures were one of our top priorities and we were very picky about achieving the right style. Kim hit it out of the park on all fronts. Not only is she ridiculously talented, but she was a breeze to work with from beginning to end. She is extremely kind, attentive, and accommodating. She offered us a last-minute engagement shoot so that we could meet her and to get us comfortable in front of the camera. This was so helpful for us and made shooting for the wedding much easier and relaxing. She also stayed longer than planned to get those few extra special shots walking around SoHo. When we saw our engagement photos, we knew we made the right decision. On the day of, it was important to us to incorporate our home, neighborhood, and adorable pup in our photos. Kim was super flexible and thoughtful of how to do this. She totally leaned in when I wanted to walk to Washington Sq Park for our first look, where we got the “free hugs” guy to take photos with us, then hopped into a yellow cab to the venue. Kim kept us moving and made the best use of the time we had, which was super helpful since we didn’t have a wedding coordinator. The whole day turned out to be perfect and Kim captured it all for us. Every person who has seen our proof book has said “how are you going to choose? They are all amazing…” and I couldn’t agree more! We can’t wait to work with her again.

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

I don’t have enough words to describe how much we love Lauren! We were recommended by a friend to Lauren for our wedding in 2017. We had met with 8 (yes eight!!) photographers before Lauren and from the minute we sat down with her, we knew she was special. Her attention to detail and care about us and our family was exceptional. I don’t even really remember seeing my own wedding planner more than twice on my wedding day but Lauren was there every second keeping me calm and making sure I was ready for every moment of the day and night. A few weeks after our wedding, we received our photos and my husband and i cried tears of joy looking through the best day of our lives. Your wedding is the fastest day of your life and to be able to relive it from the outside through these amazing photos was the best gift we could receive.

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.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
After my (now) husband and I booked our venue we knew the next vendor that we needed to hire was a photographer. I was a semi crazy bride and I probably interviewed over 10 photographers. We were looking for someone who not only took gorgeous, bright photos but also someone we could personally connect to. As soon as we had our introductory call, we knew Kim was the one! She was so warm and thoughtful during our call - really trying to understand our love story and how we wanted our wedding to be like. I actually cried during our intro call - that's how safe I felt around her. About a couple months after we signed our contract, Kim reached out to schedule our engagement shoot. This is when my husband and I really got to connect with Kim and knew we 1000% made the right choice. Kim was super organized (which we loved) with scheduling the time, picking the location and coordinating the meet up. She made us feel so comfortable and she captured the most stunning photos. She kept us engaged and prompted questions and actions to make sure our engagement photos really captured who we were as a couple and didn't feel posed. She got to learn our goofy personalities and it was a great practice run for our big day. Now for our wedding ... omg I cannot put to words what amazing photos Kim and her team took. We just got our final gallery and it immediately brought us to tears. She was able to capture the perfect balance of posed photos but also candids. Her detail photos made it possible to re-live every moment of the day again. She also made sure we captured all our family portraits (even though they were super large). She truly felt like a best friend who was around during out most special day who just happened to also snap a lot of photos. Our bridal party loved having her around and we were all so comfortable. She made prepping for our wedding day as effortless and stress free as possible. Before our wedding we had calls to walk through our shot list, timelines. She was super engaged and organized - giving all the tips she could to keep us on track. She delivered our sneak peeks SO quickly. We had them a couple days after our wedding to enjoy and cry over them while we were on our honeymoon. She also delivered our final gallery within 2 months! I can't recommend Kim enough- she's not just a super talented photographer but she's also a beautiful soul who has truly become our friend through this whole process. Can't wait to keep re-living our wedding day through her photos!!

The day-of had its own hitches but they were just about the only thing I didn't have to worry about. They were on time, professional but still warm and comforting on a very stressful day. I cannot say enough good things about them. And of course the photos are gorgeous.
