Anj Photographer

5.0

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

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

I’ve worked alongside Anj and let me tell you she is so detailed in her work, posing instructions, capturing the details and just making your wedding day special. You can be relaxed and enjoy your day knowing Anj has got it under control. Highly recommended!

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.

Sydney is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding @ The State Room in Albany on 10/20/23. I woke up to the *at the time* unfortunate news that it was indeed going to rain and we had planned for our photos to be taken outside. BUT Sydney came to me with the best idea of shooting at The Capitol building on the million dollar staircase instead. These photos are the most stunning pictures and I’m honestly kinda glad it did rain because if it hadn’t we probably never would have gotten them. All thanks to Sydney for always thinking of her clients and trying to make their day the least stressed. Through out the whole process of planning the wedding, everything that had to do with Sydney was a breeze. She was so helpful in other ways too through out our wedding day. Fixed my vail about a hundred times, carried my lip gloss for me so I wouldn’t lose it, bustled my dress, and countless more! She is truly so wonderful at what she does and we couldn’t be more happy that we booked her to capture our day. But back to the photos…just simply stunning! I haven’t stopped looking at them since we got our gallery delivered. We received soooo many compliments on how amazing they turned out. She captured our day perfectly and it was so amazing to look at the pictures and relive the best day of our lives. If you are looking into booking Sydney for any of your photography needs, don’t hesitate, just do it.

I believe in serving well and with love. Getting lost in the moment and not in the details, in experiences shared together, in natural, loving, and joyous moments, in a legacy meant to be shared with generations to come. Moments are remembered most when you have photographs that bring them to life. Imagine pulling out your wedding album on your 50th anniversary. The memories and emotions from this day come flooding back in vivid detail and you fall in love all over again!

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becca was incredible to work with, and the photos she captured were amazing! I'm a big fan of candid photos and capturing all the fun moments, and she was able to get every special shot while also keeping my mom happy with lots of traditional, posed photos. She is friendly, helpful, creative, and wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend Becca to anyone!

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

Jaci is 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!

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 .

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

Awarded Best of Zola
I have been in my fair share of weddings, and therefore have been the subject of many a professional photo. I generally find the pictures portion of the day draining, and sometimes cheesy. Our photo shoot with Chrysa was the opposite. It was SO MUCH fun. It filled my cup right up! Chrysa is funny, cool, definitely not cheesy, and she has a remarkably creative eye! My boyfriend had a blast as well. The finished products are beautiful, and you can sense the emotion in the photos. BOOK WITH HER - the photos are magical, but so is the experience.

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

Eddie is hands down the best choice we made for our wedding!! Not only is he incredibly talented, he is so kind and a pleasure to work with. He made us feel comfortable and we had so much fun. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, timeless, and capture our personalities and love so well. He also sent us a teaser the very next day which was an amazing surprise! Truly cannot recommend Eddie enough.

We are traveling wedding photographer and videographer. For 2024, we have 70+ weddings booked in 21 different states. Our shooting style is photojournalistic, natural, CINEMATIC to traditional. Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

My Husband and I got married April 14th, 2024 and didn't think we'd "need" a Videographer. This was the very last thing we added to our wedding planning.. yes, even after small things like arranging the seating chart, whether we wanted favors, etc. This by far was THE BEST DECISION WE MADE. We found Ledd Lens on Zola and inquired about their services about 2 months before the wedding. Usually, couples book videographers at least a year in advance. They asked what our budget was, what we were looking for and came back with 3 options to choose from. The prices were VERY AFFORDABLE and included their TRAVEL to Philadelphia. Having every moment on video to rewatch with our family or just alone is the best feeling after all the planning we did over 13 months. Randall was amazing! He had us choose 3 songs to use in our highlight video, but ended up using 1. The other 2, he chose, and they fit even better than the ones we thought would! He also threw in a few bonus footage as well. Absolutely amazing and professional company to work with. We are so happy!! Thank you Ledd Lens!

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.

Jess made us feel so comfortable from our first interview and that was the most important aspect we needed in a photographer. She was creative and adaptable in our poses. We felt like models during this experience even though neither of us are typically good picture takers. She knew all the right spots and angles at our venue which showed she really cares about her clients. We only had a few requests but she made sure everything was done exactly how we hoped for! Our wedding pictures are our most treasured wedding piece and thats all thanks to Jess.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
I would recommend her as a photographer to anyone who wants to have pictures that will allow them to keep reliving their wedding day. She was a joy to work with, easy-going, and yet very astute to our wishes as a couple. Kathryn made our already fantastic day one that we can keep visiting for many years to come. I don’t even know where to start. I think Kathryn was fated to be our wedding photographer. Nothing else explains how well it all turned out. Whenever I look at my wedding pictures, I relive my wedding so vividly that it is unreal. The way she was able to capture our day was beyond amazing, and it’s the same sentiment expressed by anyone who has viewed our photographs, from our wedding guests, family, and friends who didn’t attend, to strangers. Simply beautiful and magical. We found her online after months of searching and talking to many other photographers. She caught our attention with her pictures first but kept it with her personality and quality of work. We were able to feel the spirit, emotion, and genuine joy in them. Her attention to details and being able to capture all of those emotions spoke to us immediately. The creativity and sense of adventure that shined through her pictures secured her role on our joyous day. Her style matched ours so well. First of all, she was so easy to work with her. At the onset, our interactions were seamless, from the first conversation on the phone to the contracting process and the delivery of our photos. I have heard so many horror stories from friends and family about their photographers and being unhappy with the outcome that I was scared that my experience would be similar. However, working with Kathryn was indeed a dream, and my photos are beyond lovely. I don’t think a day has passed when we do not look at our photos with smiles on our faces. Her pictures are clear and full of energy. So well done that you can feel the emotions, hear the music, and experience all the joys. I can’t imagine anyone else being able to capture it the way she did. She was able to get little moments in-between moments. She was omnipresent yet invisible if that makes any sense, but it’s the best I can explain it. She was there when the Bridal party was getting ready yet not in the way. She captured the ceremony in a way that you can feel the love, the sincerity of our vows, and our audience responded to it all—documented the fun of the dance party to a point where you can hear the music that went along with the moves frozen in time. We hardly felt her presence in the room, but we know she was there because we have these captured moments. If you can book her, just do it!

Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

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

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

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

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!!

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!!!

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.

I absolutely LOVE working with Christian! We first met both Christian and Emilio beforehand after scouting them from the internet & IG while looking for a photography and videography package. From their work and their website altogether, I knew they were the kinds of creative personalities we would want to help us capture our special day as well as the aesthetic we were looking for. The packaged we booked included an engagement shoot where we first got to work with Christian really get to know his fun personality and he got to learn about the kind of photography. Although we originally booked both of them for our wedding in October, there was a scheduling conflict with another couple. Christian was super professional in communicating that to us and getting the additional coverage for our day at the same quality. The turnaround time for the preview, full gallery, and teaser video were exactly as promised- faster than we expected! Christian has been extremely communicative from planning our first meet up last January 2019, to the days leading up to our wedding, through to the editing of the final products. Highly highly highly recommend them and would refer them in a heartbeat!!

My name is Charles R. Bullard, and Tell Your Story Studios allows you to get impactful photos that capture memorial moments in your life. I aim to ensure you feel exceptional and natural when I capture a piece of your life's journey in a fun and colorful look. Celebrating the next chapter in your life should be one you constantly want to look back at and smile. Finding the right photographer to work with is essential. Trust and comfortability make the dynamics between the client and the photographer create magic. Like looking for the perfect pair of shoes to an outfit. It makes you look great, feel confident, and represent your style.

Tell Your Stories went above and beyond! My first impression working with Charlie is that he is extremely communicative. Him being proactive really put my nervousness about photography at ease. Secondly, I feel like Charlie captured us perfectly. I get really nervous about photography because I don't know how to pose, so I was expecting it to be an awkward shoot. But wow! Everything felt very natural, and Charlie just knew when to take the shots. We had a planned to take pictures in a park and those turned out wonderful, but Charlie also asked if we could stop downtown for a bit to take a few more pictures. We have a small downtown and absolutely adore our city, and I think those pictures turn out just a good if not better than the location we had initially chose. There was no doubt in our minds that we wanted him to work our wedding as well. And of course thus far his level of professionalism has far exceeded any of our other vendors. It's nice to take a back seat in wedding planning for once. Thank you, Charlie and Tell Your Stories!

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 :)

I cannot express enough how much I enjoy working with Taylor & Jarod! They are not only very talented, yet very fun to work alongside with. The always produce amazing quality work, and their communication with me as the coordinator is always punctual.

My wife and I met Sarah a few years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. She did such a great job that we had to have her do our wedding as well. My sister is getting married next year and I told her not to bother interviewing any photographers other than Sarah. You will not find anyone who will do a better job. We absolutely love the way our wedding photos came out. Sarah is so creative and has such an artistic eye which made our pictures unique and very cool. She was so awesome to work with. She really cares about her work and her clients and it really shows. In addition to being a great photographer, she is very sweet and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her which makes a huge difference! Not to mention, a photographer that can make you smile and laugh makes for some pretty great pictures! Her communication was clear and quick from the very beginning, which is super important in the wedding planning process. She really listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t want. I could not recommend Sarah more. She went above and beyond all expectations and by the end, we are happy to call her a friend! If you are planning a wedding/event, do yourself a favor and call her!

When we had to change our reception date due to COVID, she worked with us to ensure that the dates aligned. Massimo (photographer) and Edison (videographer) have been amazing to work with and they shot our micro wedding. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is stressful, but Emma and her team made this process a seamless. The photos and videos are beautiful and we will treasure them. Thank you again!

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.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Relive the moments as you experienced them. When it comes to your wedding, what are you most excited about? The ceremony? Dancing the night away with family and friends? Indulging in the emotion of the day? The photos are important so you can relive each memorable moment. But the moments are only memorable if you take the time to experience them in the first place. This way, you'll not only experience the moments of your wedding day - you'll remember them well. Who better to photograph your experiences than a husband and wife team who understands the importance of this day. And the moments that shape it.

Where do we even begin with Ishan and Preeti of Ishan Fotografi?! Our experience with them was nothing short of amazing. My husband and I (and all of our guests!) would highly recommend Ishan Fotografi to any couple looking for talented, thoughtful, creative, adventurous, understanding, professional, responsive and downright fun photographers! I first got introduced to Ishan & Preeti a year before my wedding at another wedding they were shooting. I really liked their vibe/personality while working with the couple - they were really thoughtful in their approach and shots they took, had great ideas/visions and were really great at demonstrating poses for the couple because they're a couple themselves! I immediately reached out to them the next day to get to know them a bit more. Ishan and Preeti were very communicative from the beginning - answering any of our questions via email, text or phone call; inviting us to their place to see their work; asking us how the wedding planning was going; etc. We got along with them instantaneously and knew we didn't want to book anyone else. Not only were Ishan & Preeti great photographers, but also GREAT company! We loved every minute of our engagement shoot with them. It can get a little awkward taking photos in public, but Ishan and Preeti made it super fun and relaxed. That kind of energy and vibe cascaded throughout the wedding weekend. We were so appreciative of this, especially because they knew how to help us navigate stressful situations as they arose throughout the weekend and made sure our photos still came out great! They also took the time to walk around our venue and scope out the best places to take the different types of photos we wanted. We received our photos very quickly after the wedding. There are so many amazing shots we are having a hard time picking our favorites!! Definitely a good problem to have :) If we ever are in need of photographers again, we know exactly know who we'll be calling!

There is a dusty old photo album that I’ve looked at hundreds of times. It is from my parents’ wedding more than 40 years ago. It shows me a little piece of my history every time I look at those images. When I lost my father, I realized his memory lives on in those images for me. It’s like this perfect window into the past that I want to give each and every one of my wedding clients.

When we received our wedding photos from Monika, my husband and I sat for hours looking through them, laughing, crying, smiling, reminiscing and enjoying moments exquisitely captured by Monika and her team. In the end, we looked at each other and said: "Let's get married again!" Part of the magic of our day was Monika's ability to capture forever cherished moments. The look on my husband's face of me coming down the aisle, my mom watching me dance with my dad, our friends cutting a rug on the dance floor, our families gathered together-- all of the things that we didn't get to witness on the day, but were beyond thrilled to see. We knew from our initial conversations with Monika that she would bring her utmost professionalism and talent, but also her genuine excitement to be there with us on our wedding day. She made the whole process a breeze. She made us feel comfortable during our engagement photos (which can sometimes be awkward) and helped us find our flow so we were ready for the big day. She arrived to our wedding venue early, with her shot list and the full day plans in hand, ready to go. She captured photos of all of our friends and family-- giving our wedding guests beautiful mementos from our day. Monika delivered a "sneak peek" album the day after our wedding (AMAZING!) and she sent a tear-jerker slideshow with some of her favorite moments along with the full gallery. Everyone that has seen the photos is in awe of her work. We can't recommend Monika enough, I've already sent her information to my recently engaged friends, only to be able to see her work her magic again! Thank you for everything!

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

We were so happy with Jose and Carlos. They were organized, prompt, flexible, and of course fantastic artists. Out pictures are fantastic and perfectly in line with our style preferences. Jose directed us with ease and skill making the photo sessions fun and producing great shots. Also, I have to mention how Jose was super helpful on the wedding day. He even noticed that our wedding had gone MIA and that time was running late so he set up our cake cutting for us.

My name is Isora Lithgow. I am a wedding, branding, and lifestyle photographer based in Vermont, traveling to NYC often and dreaming of packing my suitcase all of the time. I love swimming, cooking, traveling, and dancing. I started this business in the spring of 2017 when some friends asked me to take their graduation photos, but I first picked up a camera back in 2010 when I joined NYCSALT, a non profit in NYC as a high schooler. Why I do this is simple - I love capturing people, cheering them on, seeing them grow and transform, and delivering photos that they'll treasure forever.

Isora facilitates the most seamless experience as a photographer. You will receive a friendly and informative onboarding call which details a timeline of all the events that you should consider, ideas for locations, payment details, and any questions you may have. You will receive check-ins before, during, and after, and immediately will receive sneak previews of your wedding. I particularly enjoy her style of editing and how she can capture candid/natural shots of joy! Truly worth the investment for forever memories that highlight radiant human joy!

Awarded Best of Zola
Keith shot our wedding in early November and we could not be more thrilled with how our photos turned out! He was awesome through every step of the process - communicative, helpful, thoughtful. We were nervous about photos since neither of us loves having our photo taken. Keith was great in making us less nervous and not forcing us into any photos that felt strange. Most importantly, he truly captured the emotions we felt that day and the joy we felt in the room during our ceremony and reception. Our guests cannot stop commenting on how great the photos came out. Highly recommend working with him if you have the opportunity - you won't be disappointed!

When you hire Rick Lash Photography, you're hiring me, Rick. I've been a professional wedding photographer since 2012 and I still love what I do more than I did the day before. I'm here to make your wedding day better. How do I do this? By being thoughtful, professional, and precise. What's this mean? I'm going to walk through your day several times with you before we get there. We're going to plan how I should capture it without getting in your way. I want you to enjoy your day as much as possible while I'm able to fulfill my role to the best of my abilities. I'm also here to make your memories better. That's what my photography is for.

Caitlin Cooper Photography

Brooklyn, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Waterford, NY

I’ll try to keep this short: I’m a silly, introverted, rule breaker with a sincere whimsical streak. Originally from Iowa with a decent chunk of time spent bopping between Minneapolis and Oregon, I love weddings + photography (duh), my nephew, a stiff gin + tonic, propagating too many damn houseplants, and my cats. Last I checked I’m an INFP, Enneagram 4, and Capricorn which makes me quite the pragmatic daydreamer + observer: as unnecessarily prepared as a Boy Scout, curiously creative, and hella laid back, all of which uniquely prepares me for the ebb and flow of a wedding day.

Caitlin is a dream. From the time she arrived to the beginning moments of our wedding, Caitlin right away was comfortable with everyone. She brings an ease which allows people be calm and we honestly forgot she was there, snapping away. There were many moments where she would check in and make sure everyone was good, the energy was so sweet. We received our photos right when she said they would be done. The work Caitlin does captures the warmth, and light of a love event. My husband cried the first, second and third time we looked though the collection. We will treasure them forever. Highly, highly recommend her! 100%

I’m Claudia, a full-time photographer based in Long Island, NY. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, belting to Mariah Carey in my car, or curled up on the couch with my boyfriend Gabe. I’m gonna shut up about me, because this moment is about YOU. You are the guests of honor here, and I want you to set the pace of your own shoot. I am all for breaking tradition -- if you want to jump in a creek or tackle your partner into the ground, do it.

Claudia and her team are simply amazing and I have no words!!!

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.

As a wedding florist, I've had the pleasure of working with some extremely talented and gifted photographers throughout the years and certainly have my favorites. Alex from White Poppy weddings is for sure one of them. She is kind, genuine, very easy to work with and I LOVE that she has an eye for not only only capturing the tender and important moments, but the beautiful details that tell the story of the day. I am always excited to work with Alex, whether it be a styled shoot or a wedding because I know the vibe of the day will be easygoing and fun and the photos are going to be GOOD!! I could not recommend this sweet, talented gal enough.
