Meghan Marks Photography

Delanson, NY
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Ava, NY

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.

Meg , was very accommodating, great to work with . Photos came out great and turn around time was amazing

The Story Photography 

5.0

North Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

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

Chris & Megan take incredible photos and truly capture the beautiful and special moments! We got married in Ithaca at Cornell University and leading up to our wedding day, Chris met with us and spent time getting to know us. He also informed us of things we should consider on our wedding day (such as a first look or where we wanted portraits). On our wedding day. Chris and Megan took amazing photos and did a great job directing our family during the portraits. We received our digital photos a week later and were so thrilled with how they looked! We will recommend The Story Photography to anyone looking for professional photos in the upstate NY area!

Chrysa Leigh Photography 

5.0

Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

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

Awarded Best of Zola
I had a vision of what I wanted my engagement pictures to look like, a non traditional, fun-loving shoot. Chrysa absolutely did EVERYTHING and more to make the experience fun, easy, and turn out better than I could’ve ever imagined! She did her research beforehand, found the best location, played amazing music, and had us feeling comfortable in front of the camera… & on top of all that - she got the photo’s back to us so quickly! I would 10/10 recommend her to all my friends/ family, & I’ll be using her for more pictures in the future!

Nicole Lagoe Photography

Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I worked with Nicole for our wedding this past June, and it was one of the best wedding-related decisions we made. Nicole is communicative, easy going, and a joy to be around. She is super thorough and will be sure to get all the shots you want. We had a fairly large group for family photos, and Nicole coordinated everything seamlessly. She really took care of everything so I could just focus on having fun! I would 100% work with Nicole again in the future, and highly recommend working with her for your event. Our experience was so great that my brother and his fiancé will be working with Nicole for their wedding next summer!

Wozztography

Cicero, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,599

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

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

LT² Photography did a great job at our wedding. LaDonna truly went above and beyond to make sure that we have beautiful memories of our day. I’m so grateful that she encouraged us to get prints and wall art for keepsakes and decor in our home. Since we put our picture on the wall our dining has never looked or felt better. It just feels more like us now. She communicates so well and helped us stay organized and even sent us a budget calculator to help us manage our wedding finances- we didn’t even know we needed a budget tool until we started using it. I wish we hadn’t opted out of their videography service, but she gave us a highlight video anyway! I can’t say enough good things - my husband and I are just so impressed and glad we chose to work with LT2 Photography for our wedding.

Elopement & Wedding photographer in the beautiful Upstate NY. We love sophisticated, stylish and romantic vibes, as well as rustic and adventureful days.

These services can help to create a truly unique and personalized experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Amanda from Golden Heart Studios was the photographer for our wedding in August, 2023. Before the wedding day we discussed the schedule and the look we were going for in our photos and Amanda went above and beyond to give us what we were looking for. She was great with directing us, the wedding party, and family to pose for photos and really thought through where she would be at different parts of the ceremony to make sure that she got beautiful shots. She was especially good at getting the little kids to look at the camera. The editing of the photos was also exactly what we were looking for. My only regrets are that I didn't schedule more time and that I didn't have a more detailed schedule for my family when it came to photos. On the wedding day itself, it was a bit like herding cats. But Amanda was very helpful, cooperative, and creative and made it work anyway! The pictures looked great and she really captured the atmosphere of the ceremony and reception!

They are a unified team, and able to work together so seamlessly. I also have a new found respect for their craft.

I love working with clients to create the perfect outfits, timeline, and plan so they can be fully present. Enjoying every candid moment, effortlessly.

Emily is not only an amazing photographer, but also an amazing person! From our engagement session to detail meetings to our wedding day, working with Emily was a dream. She is so sweet, organized and fun to be around. We typically aren't "picture people", but Emily made us and our family/friends feel so comfortable. At one point, Emily stopped eating her dinner (and essentially her only "break" of the day) to run across the lobby to capture me holding my recently-born niece. Beyond just being an amazing person, she is so talented. Our photographs of both our engagement session and wedding are absolutely stunning and timeless and everything we could have hoped for. She does an amazing job capturing everything from the details to the big moments.... and there are so. many. pictures that she gets back to you so quickly. We cannot recommend her enough and would choose her over and over again!

Working with Jen and Jeremy was wonderful! First and foremost, the pictures are beautiful! They captured all of the important senses and emotions of the day with lots of flexibility to work around the weather that came and went! Second, the fact that they are a couple and work together is a huge plus since they worked with each of us separately and focused on different angles throughout the ceremony and reception. They are a loving couple who easily become part of the wedding family -- and seamlessly.

Ali was awesome to work with. Let me start by acknowledging that a Wedding day as I learned is filled with so many uncontrollables and Ali helped us to relieve stress in whatever ways she could. She helped our flowers girl get ready and travel from Bridal Suite to Groom suite. She helped with hair challenges and even noticed I was having a dress malfunction and came to help me fix it so I could continue to enjoy my evening. She did all of this while still taking amazing photos. She was communicative from the beginning, professional and started before time by scouting out spaces for us to take amazing photos. We loved working with her and would chose her over and again!!!

My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Xenia was the primary wedding photographer for our wedding last year at the the William Vale hotel. We had photo-session both outside and inside, with me changing outfits twice. I couldn’t wish of better pictures as they were literally amazing, ideal and perfect version of me, my husband and us as a couple. Very lucky to had her as a photographer for such an important event for our family, we have got a lifetime amazing memory, thanks to Xenia.

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!

Andrea and her team have all been incredible to work with! I knew photography was one of my top "no skimp" areas and Andrea was able to capture everything we wanted! Many of our extended family were not able to attend our ceremony due to COVID, but were able to "experience" everything through the photos we shared. From engagement shoot, to bridal portraits, to actual wedding, to even an extra shoot after the wedding in the mountains--her talent and skill is beyond anyone else I have seen! Even my husband (who does not love to be photographed) feels comfortable during our sessions and agrees she is worth every penny and more! We love her and will definitely continue to work with her for years to come!

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer on the most important day of our lives. They took so much time to incorporate everything we could want in our wedding photos and they even took the time to edit some multiple amazing videos with the footage. They were patient and they made us feel comfortable and supported during the night and we had a blast as well. On top of all that, he knew how to capture well our love story. His team is amazing and they provided a high quality, welcoming, amazing photography experience. I'd recommend their work for any event you'd like to capture precious moment's in! They were worth more than every cent we spent! Again, thank you so so much Ledd and team. We will treasure these photos forever.

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
When we started planning our wedding I knew that I wanted to work with Isaac. I had been following his work on Instagram for a few years after my friend got married and I always love the energy and emotion he can capture in his photography. The photos are bright and colorful and feel very natural. After meeting Isaac, he is one of the nicest people and it was a real pleasure to have him at our wedding. And the photos turned out just as I had hoped. There are lots of great family shots, the details of the bridal party getting ready, setup and all of our guests enjoying the reception are really fun. And the sunset photos have a magic quality to them. I definitely got so many photos its difficult to decide which ones to print and frame for the wall.

We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog!

Michelle is so amazing to work with. She is not only responsive, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with, her talent is undeniable. In such an overly saturated world of wedding photography, it's hard to find a photographer that can truly deliver such stunning photos.

I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

If we could shoot every single wedding with Jess, we would. She guides her couples through the day in a way that helps us create the most authentic footage (which is a tough thing to do if the photographer and you are not on the same page.)

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.

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.

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.

My husband and I were married on February 3, 2023 and when I tell you that the best thing we did for our Wedding Day was hire Bridget as our photographer, I am not exaggerating. From the very first response to my inquiry, to our brewery-inspired engagement photos and then to our actual Wedding Day, Bridget was so incredibly warm, thoughtful, and her excitement was infectious! She is the ultimate hype-woman and made us feel so comfortable and so at ease even though we were both terrified to be in front of the camera. Our Wedding fell on the coldest day in decades in Cooperstown, NY and Bridget braved the wind and the snow to get us the gorgeous pictures that we had dreamed of! She truly captured the love and warmth of our Wedding Day and we are so excited to hang these photos in every room of our home! We received Sneak Peeks back within 2 days and then our full gallery within 6 weeks and are in love with all of them, so our only problem so far is choosing our favorites!

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.

I can’t imagine working with anyone else for our wedding. Celia is absolutely fantastic. She is so accommodating and flexible. She worked with us on pricing and exactly what we wanted for our photos. Her work is unique and classy and so beautiful. For two people who don’t like to have their picture taken, we had an absolute blast with her! We had a weather issue (think tropical storm) and Celia made the effort to come back for our beach photos when the weather was more ideal. I would hire her again in a second. An absolutely wonderful and special experience.

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.

From the moment we first met Anj, we knew we were in good hands. Her warm personality and creative vision made us feel comfortable and confident, which reflected beautifully in our wedding photographs. Anj’s creative direction and knack for marrying our ideas with her unique perspective brought a new level of richness and depth to our photos. She captured the essence and energy of our wedding day with an extraordinary attention to detail, freezing the fleeting moments of joy, laughter, and love for us to cherish forever. Perhaps one of the most memorable experiences was the impromptu post-wedding photo shoot in the ocean. Dressed in our wedding attire amidst the crashing waves, we felt like we were in a fairytale, and the photos came out stunning, to say the least! It was an idea that could only have come from a true artist like Anj, who pushes boundaries to create unforgettable moments. Anj’s professionalism shone through in every step of the process. She delivered the meticulously edited photos in a timely manner and maintained open and constant communication, keeping us updated and at ease. In short, Anj didn’t just photograph our wedding; she crafted a beautiful narrative of our special day. We cannot recommend her highly enough. If you want a friendly, imaginative, and reliable photographer who can turn your moments into memories, look no further than Anj.

We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

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

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were.

We are so thankful for him and Ashley for their skill, time, and effort to make sure we loved our photos.

Tom's dedication truly shone on our wedding day. He went the extra mile, driving from Cooperstown to Albany and staying until 11 PM without a single complaint. His openness to our unconventional ideas made the day even more special. Although it took two months to receive our photos, the wait was undoubtedly worthwhile. While there were a few missed shots we wish we'd captured, like singles with our parents, the overall experience with Tom was fantastic. He's not only a skilled photographer but also incredibly easy to work with—I'd hire him again without hesitation.

She was absolutely amazing to work from start to finish. Great communication the entire time, very helpful and very good under pressure. A few things did not go our way on our wedding day due to weather and time but Melissa immediately had an idea on what to do instead. To add, she’s also an amazing hype woman behind the camera and definitely helped our smiles shine on our wedding day. I would give her 100 stars if I could!!

My goal is to be a calming presence, help the day run smooth, and ensure everyone in front of the camera feels COMFORTABLE. I lean toward documentary style photography emphasizing what makes your love unique.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Not only are they both lovers of Taylor Swift (so am I so we had lots to chat about!) Bethany and Raquel are phenomenal photographers/people in general and you shouldn’t hesitate to book them. I’ve recommended them to basically everyone I know getting married or has even the most distant of plans to get married. They go above and beyond the basic responsibilities of photographers and genuinely love documenting love. I hope to book them for literally anything in the future. They were the very first vendor we booked in our entire wedding planning process and set the bar waaaay too high for everyone else. They were one of the few vendors we reached out to that did an initial Zoom consultation. I think based on rom-coms I had this crazy idea in my head that wedding planning was done through in-person appointments, but I quickly learned most is done through emails and phone calls making it all feel a little impersonal. Our first meeting with Bethany and Raquel was amazing and it felt like they were actually invested in learning about us as a couple (they definitely were!) and the type of photography experience/style we were looking for. Their kind and thoughtful personalities led us to book them for our engagement shoot and wedding straight away. They definitely can meet you at whatever level of crazy you’re currently running at. For example, for our engagement shoot I had made a whole powerpoint of the types of shots I wanted as well as potential outfits. I did a complete 180 by the wedding and I told them I trusted their artistic vision completely and had no shot list other than the groupings for formal portraits. The photographs came in while we were on our honeymoon and we were blown away by the gallery. Everything was beautifully photographed, edited, and curated. On the wedding day my husband and I were excited for our first look partially because we got to see each other, but also because it was a hang sesh with both of them (lol!). They are wonderful people who put you at ease whenever you chat with them and become your genuine lifelong friends along the way. Many guests complimented their work style in which they weren't intrusive during the ceremony, but were constantly snapping both candid and posed photos. We didn’t want our wedding to feel merely like a spectacle –we wanted it to be a gathering of all our loved ones, so Bethany and Raquel's candid style was a perfect match for us.

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 and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!

She met with me via zoom for an hour to discuss her photography style and what I was looking for. She was a perfect fit and was able to do our engagement photos and wedding photos. Her communication is so on point, she is also super organized (which being type A I totally appreciated!) My, now husband, and I didn’t know a thing about posing but during our engagement session Ondraea walked us through everything and we ended up having a really great time and has so much fun! When it came to the wedding itself, she has a great questionnaire for us to fill out about the day and she was instrumental in helping us plan out the sequence of the day. She helped us navigate the family formal process and list-which was clutch! Having it all planned out in advance made the family pictures seamless. When we got our photos back we loved them!! She is great to work with, makes taking pictures fun, and worked phenomenally with our vendors. Want to try a place she hasn’t been to before? No worries! Ondraea will go in advance and tour, she worked with our wedding coordinator to meet weeks before the wedding at the venue to find the best photo spots! Still on the fence? Check out her blog, her work speaks for itself! We will for sure be booking her again for future milestones and family photos. Thank you so much Ondraea for capturing our engagement and wedding so perfectly! Ps: If you are even thinking of getting wedding album just do it!

I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I have since moved to Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my fiancé, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. In the summers we are out on Lake Champlain, the falls are spent in the seasonal colors of the mountains, our winters are spent inside the hockey rink and as the flowers start to bloom we are out getting ready for the summer.

Kyla was very professional, accommodating and spectacular from the first conversation we had until presenting us with our final photos. She checked in with me on what I wanted and allowed me to make changes as I needed throughout the days leading up to the session. The morning of the session arrived and she reached out to ensure all was still on track, going smoothly and where she was in her commute upon her arrival to the destination. This family photo session wasn't necessarily average....there are 6 of us, 4 are under the age of 8 so hectic to say the least, my adult son and his wife, they were expecting at the time of the session and both households got puppies a couple months before so why not include them as they are so adorable and part of our family. Kyla was a true magician in keeping the 4 children engaged, entertained and excited about have all the photos taken. She always had the next photo idea ready and was communicating flawlessly without us having to wait or stand around as well as the session was outdoors and by the water so keeping everyone clean, including two puppies that were 4 months old was imperative and she made it happen without me having to worry or fussing. We have had family photos taken over the years and liked the photos but none of those sessions were as easy and amazing as Kyla made this one out to be from the start, especially during and afterwards...the final photos are more precious and gorgeous than words can express and any photos taken before this session. My family and our pups look very natural and not "posed", she captured our true characters as if we didn't know we were having our photo taken. We definitely recommend her for any occasion, big or small and you will not only have fun the entire time but the end result will be all and more than you can hope for.

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Artur was great to work with! He was professional and very responsive. He sent us sneak peaks the very next day, which was awesome. Our photos turned out amazing, we absolutely loved them! We really wanted sunset pictures, and he was able to capture those perfectly. We also got videography through Kandid Arts and I highly recommend them as well if you want video. Our highlight video captured the day perfectly

I was very particular when looking for wedding photographers because I work in media and have experience running editorial photoshoots, so I wanted a team that had a keen eye for details as well as artistic flair. Louis Photography fit the bill — they had a background in fashion and beauty (like me) and delivered exactly what I was looking for. They were extremely easy to work with and were great at providing direction to capture creative and beautiful shots. I recommend them wholeheartedly and hope to work with them soon on another project!

Megan Dailor Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves Ava, NY

Hey there, I’m Megan! I’m a wedding photographer based in Rochester, NY that specializes in truly connecting with my couples. I live for the moments when I can capture my couples being entirely and authentically themselves. The icing on the cake is delivering them the most beautiful images to look back on and watching their families grow for years to come.

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

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation.

In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

Awarded Best of Zola
That is how we would describe Jamaal's work! From the first consultation, he was very flexible and responsive to putting together a package that fit our needs. His sense of professionalism, yet amicable personality made it very comfortable to work with Jamaal. While taking the pics, he allowed us to just be ourselves, catching many candid shots so the photoshoot felt natural. He made us feel very comfortable throughout all the shoots we did. His finished products are stunning, not to mention he turns it around super fast!! From the 1st consultation all the way to the wedding day, he was always quick to respond and punctual to everything (true story: he showed up like 3hrs before so he could scope spots for our engagement shoot). We will surely use Visuals by J. McKenzie for any other future photography needs!! Thanks Jamaal!!!

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Working with Kayla was fantastic due to her punctuality, clear communication, organization, attentiveness to my specific requests, and quick turnaround time. She beautifully captured our special day like no one else could. Her photography skills are truly remarkable!

  • Serves Ava, NY

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

where do I even start when I’m telling you about Brittany…working with her is a breath of fresh air, it’s a dream and something I hope everyone get to experience in their lives. My husband and I did a styled shoot with her, she sent me her vision and I immediately knew this was going to be epic! From the moment we met we had an instant connection, truly working with Brittany is like gaining a best friend. She is encouraging and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera (especially my husband who really hates photos like a typical man) I was blown away by the photos, I spent hours scrolling through all the photos finding my new favorite every page I clicked. She made me feel like the most beautiful girl in the world, hyping us up every moment of the shoot and even pushing us out of our comfort zone and the photos are amazing because of this! Every single detail was thought of, these are photos I truly will cherish for the rest of my life. I the pleasure to work with Brittany again when she did my sister’s wedding this past summer. Brittany feels like part of the family, she was there to help me fix my hair or touch up a curl on my hair. She is the ultimate package, a true girls girl ! No BS no gimmicks, just amazing work and an even more amazing girl behind the camera. I feel so lucky to have B. Ford in my life forever now !!
