The Story Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Brainard, NY

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.

There are no words to describe how incredible Chris is. He was calm, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Truly one of our favorite vendors. We were floored when we got our pictures back. He captured everything beautifully and we hardly knew he was there! At the end of the night he gave us the kindest words and smiles. Do not even think twice about contacting him - he is the real deal and will make the process easy.

Caitlin Cooper Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,200
  • Serves Brainard, 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.

I can't say enough good things about Caitlin! My partner and I wanted more non-traditional portraiture for both our engagement photos and wedding and Caitlin just immediately understood the vibe we wanted. She's great at getting to know her clients and making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. Similarly, she just melts into the background during the wedding and captures everything you wanted and more, all without being front and center. You won't regret hiring her and I'd say book her while you still can, because she's only set to blow up more :)

Requiem Images

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Brainard, NY

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

Acromatico Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

Our passion for visual storytelling and photography began over 20 years ago when we started capturing incredible stories, weddings and life’s most important events behind our lens in a little town in Abruzzo Italy, and later on we expanded onto South Florida’s warm beaches and New York's charm. As a worldwide family owned brand that started as a husband and wife team, our DNA is down to earth, creative and artsy. We are outgoing and full of creativity. No two weddings (like no two paintings) will ever be the same. Our approach: candid, photojournalistic, natural. We are here to capture the creatives in love. The real, the authentic you.

Acromatico is amazing. The quality of photos down to how they delivered our pictures was with the upmost care and professionalism. Marietta broke down pricing for us and accommodated our chaotic rainy wedding day schedule. She’s the best, so patient and kind yet the best photographer I have ever had. They are booked for every event we have in the future!!!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I worked with Isora for our wedding in June 2021. Not only are the photos fabulous, but the entire process of working with Isora was lovely. She captured our unique personalities, listened to our love story, and made us feel at home in front of the camera. Isora created an environment where we felt encouraged to ask questions and express our wants and needs. I fully recommend hiring Isora Lithgow Creations for all photography needs!

Hello! My name is Katie, and I am the wine-loving, adventure-seeking, memory-making human behind the camera. I am passionate about supporting small and/or local businesses, especially when I travel. You can usually find me trying out a new brewery or restaurant or exploring a different trail leading to some new view!

She’s my absolute favorite to work with. You can tell she knows what she’s doing by her attention to detail. She can put you in the most relaxed and candid poses but still makes sure she fixes that wrinkled shirt or hair sticking up or double chin :) She’s very communicative and makes sure she gets to know you as person rather than just a client. I will never choose anyone else for my photos.

We are aesthetic driven, inspired by nature and design, and obsessed with creating a brilliant collection of photographs that reflect your unique style. Our work is done best when you have the freedom to immerse yourself in the experience of your day. Let us give you that peace of mind.

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!

  • Serves Brainard, NY

Just a girl living in Brooklyn who is obsessed with her Frenchie named Yoshi. I started my photography business 10 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Throughout the years I've photographed every type of wedding you can think of and have been so lucky to call a lot of my clients friends now. If you're into it, I'm a true Enneagram 2 & a Pisces - what a combo right? To sum it up, I'm emotional, I'm intuitive, I'm an empath, and I'm a dreamer. These traits are what represent/help my business - I'm able to work and connect with almost anyone (even those tough MIL's love me!). My main priority is to make sure my clients have fun!

Working with Tonhya was so much fun! She has a clear artistic vision and instantly understood the mood we wanted to capture. Beyond being great to work with, she’s just a wonderful person—chill, easygoing, and so easy to work with. We can't wait to come back to her for any future photo opportunities.

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

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

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley, but will gladly travel wherever your love story takes you. My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

Brea Warren Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Brea's photos that were romantic and whimsical, and it put us at ease and made the entire process so enjoyable. Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

Laura is wonderful to work with! Laura's style of photography is what had originally drawn us to her; her ability to capture candid moments and how she always seems to get the perfect lighting! The photos she took completely captured the overall warm and loving vibe of our wedding. She must be some sort of magician... or just the best possible wedding photographer... Booking her was easy. She was easy to get in touch with and was always prompt to respond. I'm glad we booked her early to lock in our date. She is a very popular photographer and she books up fast! We met Laura before our wedding to go over the details of the venue and timeline of the night. She is a pro so she can make any venue, even the warehouse we booked, look bright and not dark and dingy. Day of, Laura came happy and ready to shoot. Our portraits with parents and the bridal party were not only beautiful, taken in a field, but also super fun! Laura knows how to make you feel good about yourself when she's shooting you! She was also making jokes which helped make us all comfortable. The ceremony and reception pictures were just breathtaking! She captured how funny our officiant was, our special "I do" moment and of course our first kiss as husband and wife! During our reception, we had circus performers lead the guests in hula hooping and juggling... Laura was able to get some amazing action shots on the fly! Overall, Laura is the absolute best. She was the perfect photographer for our special day and I cannot imagine having someone else in her place! She is so talented, sweet, punctual and professional; all things you want and need in a photographer! We love her and will be hiring her in the future for family portraits!

I'm a storytelling photographer specializing in photojournalism inspired weddings. I'm an actual photojournalist too! My work has been viewed internationally in publications such as National Geographic, Time, Rolling Stone, People, Reuters, New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Newsweek, Aljazeera, NBC, CBS, CNN, BBC, MSNBC, CBC, Reddit, Buzzfeed, The Guardian, The Atlantic, Esquire, and more. When I'm not taking photos you may find me mountaineering, playing an accordion or piano, tending to my tiny house and tiny garden or riding my bike here, there, and ev'ry where. Also, I'm afraid of gum.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough great things about Lindsay as our wedding photographer. She has such a talent for capturing emotion and truly telling the story of your wedding day through her photos. So many of her photos bring me right back to how I was feeling in those moments. She shoots a perfect blend of traditional portraits and the candid "in-between" memories. She captures details and moments that you never even realized she was there to catch. During the formal portraits she does a great job helping you feel comfortable and giving posing directions. However, I truly think she stands apart because of her ability to capture “real” moments and be discreet during parts of the day where she isn't explicitly giving direction, while still getting every aspect you could want (e.g. during the ceremony, dance floor, etc.). She has some angles of our ceremony that I still don’t know how she was able to capture them, we didn’t even notice she was right there! Her work truly speaks for itself. I am so very grateful that we chose her to photograph our wedding and that we have continued to work with her in the years since our wedding for our maternity, newborn and family photos. Lindsay has truly become a friend in the process of being our wedding photographer. I recommend her to all of my friends who are planning their weddings and I look forward to working with her in the future.

I'm a hybrid film + digital photographer who loves squishing baby cheeks and is terrible at making the bed. I'm a glass-half-full kind of gal who loves naming and caring for my plant babies, creating new cocktail recipes, the color yellow, and twinkle lights. Collaborating with clients to make images that tell your story is what drives my art. I strive to be inclusive, so if you aren't seeing yourself reflected in my portfolio, I aim to change that to make sure others feel seen too. I'm a sucker for weddings that include pieces of family history and love creating images that will be dog-eared and adored for generations to come.

Liz was our wedding photographer on 10/20/18. She has a unique eye and is a master at her craft. Liz was wonderful to work with and makes you feel like you’ve known her forever. We were instantly comfortable with her (even my hubby who tends to feel awkward in front of any camera!) I will always recommend her to anyone and everyone I can!!!

Hey there love! I’m Malyssa, the onewoman circus behind M Quay Photography. I fell in love with photography one morning while I was waiting at the bus stop. Since then I've been seeing the beauty in everything. I want to be the person who helps you see your inner beauty.

I want to adventure with you. Truly, I just want to be your best friend. And maybe take some photos of you in the process.

Malyssa was so easy to work with. She made my now husband and I feel so comfortable when we first met and did engagement photos and was always there for us throughout the entire wedding planning process. I am so grateful to have met her because I will never use another photographer! Her shooting style is so awesome and she is always willing to do what the client wants too! Highly recommend!

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

Working alongside Debbie was a joy! I was a videographer to a wedding she was photographing. To the couple, Debbie was patient, calm, and professional throughout the day, and helped the couple not only stay at ease during some stressful moments, but also enjoy their wedding day amidst the hiccups. To myself and the other vendors, Debbie was collaborative, creative, and flexible to each of the fellow vendors specific needs for the day. Her photos from the wedding were authentic, timeless, and stunning! I would highly recommend Debbie Gander Photography to any couple looking for a photographer for their wedding!

I did not not grow up with a camera in my hand knowing I wanted to be a photographer. I started with photography by photographing Punk/Hardcore bands but eventually stopped photographing those shows because I didn't want my camera gear to get broken by someone stagediving. Being apart of that music scene help me cultivate friendships with people all over the world, and gave me lots of travel opportunities. Those experiences carried over into weddings helping me understand real documentary style moments and being comfortable surrounded by new people.

I had the pleasure of working with Yaritza for my engagement photos & wedding and can't recommend her highly enough. Her communication style is fun, easy-going, while still professional, making the entire process a breeze. Yaritza has a keen eye for detail and captures authentic, candid moments that truly tell the story of our special day. She even had her husband come meet us with a pedicab for some late-night city photos, which was such a thoughtful and above-and-beyond gesture. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who won't miss a single special moment, Yaritza Colon Photography is the perfect choice.

Your love knows no bounds and we would love the privilege to get behind the scenes of your love and capture the raw, organic, and intimate moments. We love weddings for what they represent. Two people giving all of themselves to each other for the world to see.

Alberto and his assistant photographer brought the ultimate experience to our New York City wedding day on 02/24/24! From the very start we knew we wanted Alberto (we call him Chris) to shoot our wedding because of his beautiful film photography & style to his work. He’s professional, educated, passionate, creative & intentional in every detail of his work. When we hired him in November 2023, we had 4 calls where we discussed details, plans, vision, & what to expect. He knows his craft very well and is always making sure his couples are happy and comfortable throughout the process. Him and his assistant photographer were with us from Getting Ready to First Touch to the Altar and lastly, our party! They move efficiently & proactively, never leaving room for error and always leaving time for preparation & fun! I would hire Alberto & his team 10x more, & we cannot wait to see the full gallery.

My name is Lauren McCarthy. My parents, photographers Wendy & Charlie McCarthy began Weefan Photography in 2001. At 11, I started watching them photograph events and weddings, and the first wedding I photographed, just as I remember my first day of school. For the past fourteen years, I have mastered each and every job related to the wedding photography business. After graduating from Siena college in 2019, I was invited by my parents to manage our family's business of professional photography, and assume the duties of managing our New York Office. ​

Weefan was referred to us by my husband's best friend and I was not disappointed. Lauren was so amazing to work with from the moment I reached out to even after my wedding. She's very responsive and knowledgeable about the industry and it's different trends. The day of the wedding, Lauren and her team came in and took control. There wasn't one moment I was worried things weren't going to come out how I wanted them. They even stayed a little later to take a few extra family photos for us. When we got our sneak peeks back, I was absolutely in love! They were amazing and I cannot wait to receive the rest of our photos! If you're thinking of booking Weefan Photography, definitely do it.

Heather is our in-house professional photographer who has an artistic obsession with natural light. When she’s not wrangling your next of kin for formals by asserting her east coast kindness, you will probably find her in the woods, holding her hand in the air to catch a reflection of the sun’s rays. She has a knack for finding locations that make natural surroundings look like professional sets, placing her subjects in an ethereal glow that’s usually reserved for storybook endings. An experienced industry professional through-and-through, she navigates the timeline of the day with a caring, hospitable hand and a keen artistic eye.

Perfect wedding photographers. We threw a lot their way with very vague guidelines and they captured everything. They also dealt with a downpour of rain and a power outage, but were troopers the whole time. High quality, good pricing, easy to work with, would totally recommend 10/10!

Ever since I was a child, I've been passionate about arts and culture. Wedding photography fulfills my passion in various ways more than I would have ever imagined. I studied photography at U-Arts and PCAD, and have been photographing weddings for over 10 years, throughout which I've been developing my style of photo-journalism. I enjoy natural and simple moments. When I'm not photographing or editing, I love spending time with my family and exploring places. Most of the time you’ll find me strolling around the city with my son in search of exciting adventures.

Our experience with Maria was excellent! We were initially overwhelmed when trying to select a photographer for our interfaith wedding, but seeing Maria’s photos on her website made the decision easy. We really appreciated her style of photography - deep rich colors and focus on the couple. Other photographers seemed to have a lot of strange angles and washed out colors, which we were trying to avoid. Hiring Maria was a breeze. She is responsive by email and always happy to jump on a call when needed. Part of her package included engagement photos, which were extremely helpful when putting together our save the dates and website. She is intuitive, yet also did a good job of asking us for our preferences to confirm. The wedding day was also a breeze, and Maria documented all of our key moments without being intrusive at all. Maria’s turnaround times are excellent, and she was never late with delivering sneak peeks or the digital albums. Finally, we also worked with Maria on the final physical photo album. She was very flexible and allowed us to have multiple rounds of revisions. She was very accommodating even when we wanted to swap out many photos for more preferred variations. It was a lot of work and Maria did not hesitate to help us develop the perfect album. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend Maria for any event based on our experience working with her for our wedding. Thanks Maria!

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!
