Christopher Duggan Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,950
  • Serves Brainard, NY

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
We chose Christopher to photograph and videograph our sangeet celebration rather last minute as we were busy planning everything else, so it was quite a relief and so helpful to see how swiftly he communicated with us and delivered on such wonderful memories. Christopher was amazing to work with - as we had wanted, the posed photos were quick (yet came out incredible). We asked him to focus on the celebration and dancing and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Christopher -- thank you for making our evening so special!!

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisByLacie was one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. Lacie was amazing to work with the entire time. She was easy to communicate with and kept us updated on our photo timelines, not to mention all of our photos turned about AMAZING. Our package included an engagement session and Lacie worked out a weekend she was already in Chicago to accommodate us. Leading up to our session, we had issues with controlled fires and protests in our preferred location, but Lacie found us a spot that blew my expectations for photos out of the water. She gave us a sneak peak and also got our pictures back to us super quick. On our big day, Lacie and Tim(her husband/second photographer) were the best to work with. They made us feel comfortable and captured our day better than we could have imagined. As soon as they got there, they got straight to work. Lacie got all the details and getting ready photos that I will cherish forever. Things were running behind the day of and they let us add on an hour to our contract the day of and pay at a later date. This ensured that we got dance floor photos and it was so worth it! Specifically getting pictures of my husband's grandmother in her 80s dancing with all her grandkids. We received a sneak peak very quickly and our whole (massive) gallery less than 2 months after the wedding. For as many photos as we got, this was a crazy quick turn around. Overall, PictureMeThisByLacie captured our day better than we could have ever imagined, we could not recommend them more!

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

Isaac came recommended from a friend who did their engagement and wedding photos with him. We were also fortunate to have done our proposal, engagement and wedding photos with Isaac! He is so professional and comfortable to be around. My husband and I dont usually like to take photos, because we are self conscious, but Isaac took care of us. I am so grateful we came across LoveKnot and will always highly recommend them for anyone's special occasion.

Our day with Dani was like a dream come true. When my fiancé proposed in the breathtaking Lake Garda, I was completely swept off my feet. Dani’s talent shone through in every shot—each photo was a stunning capture of our joy and the beauty of the day. I found myself in tears looking through them, so perfectly did they convey our emotions. Dani had this incredible knack for giving just the right amount of direction while letting everything feel so natural and candid. It was amazing how she made us feel at ease, despite the excitement, and her presence made the whole experience flow effortlessly.

Not only is she an incredibly talented professional, but she’s also a dear friend whose warmth and attention to detail made the whole experience even more special.

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

We first met Laura on a cold day in the middle of winter for our engagement photos. I mentioned snowshoeing up our family’s sleigh ride trail, and she came prepared with a smile on her face! Although it was cold, she was able to capture our warmth as a couple in so many ways. When it came to our wedding, Laura was extremely professional and dedicated to capturing all of the greatest moments of our special day. She made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day and all went so smoothly. The photos came out beautifully and we love reliving each moment through these wonderful photos and I know we will be cherishing them for the rest of our lives! We highly recommend using Laura for all sorts of photography, she is an amazing person!

From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!

There are not enough words to express how incredible Lindsay and Nathan are. Recommended to us by a friend, Lindsay and Nathan were the perfect fit for us as wedding photographers. From our very first call to our wedding day, Lindsay and Nathan couldn’t have been more professional. They are willing to do anything to make your vision come to life. From traveling, to building an effective timeline, clear and frequent communication, and incredible planning, they made our wedding day a dream. Going into this experience, my husband and I were nervous about being in front of the camera. Lindsay and Nathan helped to make us feel comfortable and confident. As a result, we have photos of our engagement and wedding that truly capture who we are. Lindsay and Nathan’s work is truly unmatched. We received our entire engagement album within a week, photos to share from our wedding the very next day, a sneak peek of our wedding album within 72 hours, and our full wedding album within a week of our wedding. The day of our wedding, it felt like I was working with a close friend. Lindsay was encouraging and calming during any stressful moments that arose and truly helped to make the day run smoothly. I am genuinely grateful for both Lindsay and Nathan’s time, creative energy, and work. They are passionate about what they do and it shows. I could not recommend Lindsay Eileen Photography enough. They are an absolute dream to work with!

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess is the BEST of the best. Truly!! We had obsessed over her beautiful work from afar for months prior to reaching out, she has the most insane eye for composition and color. Before the wedding, she kept in touch with us actively and answered all our questions with ease! But the real treat was when we actually met. Our whole wedding day (and our engagement photos too!) felt like we were just hanging out with a great friend. When she arrived on our wedding day, we jumped right into easy joking and laughing like she had spent the whole day with us already! She has this crazy knack for eliciting genuine joy in photos just by being her warm, bubbly self. We never felt any insecurity while taking photos with her. She effortlessly coaches poses and captures the silly little candid moments that make the day unique! Jess was so prepared for the wedding day, and super knowledgeable about the little wedding details that you wouldn’t consider. She offered her help and support in a way that never felt intrusive. Jess got our group photos done in a jiffy and was SO EFFICIENT. She made us laugh the whole day through and contributed to the vibes of the day so well. You can tell from her work that Jess puts so much care into editing and composing each and every shot, we have spent so much time admiring all of our photos. We could not have asked for a more spectacularly captured time capsule of our day, we will treasure these photos forever. We would recommend Jess to absolutely anyone who asks (and even those who don’t.)

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements and lakeside wedding bashes to hiking engagements to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York + California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, & 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 unique shots on top of it all.

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

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 incredible from start to finish. We had a long engagement and he was always responsive and helpful. After receiving our engagement pictures, we knew our wedding pictures would be incredible! His style is romantic and we appreciated his artistic ideas. We couldn’t be happier with how he captured our day!

Hiring New Pace was hands down the best decision we made for our wedding day! From our initial consultation to receiving our final photos, the entire experience was flawless. Grace & Rachel both have an incredible eye for detail and captured every precious moment with such artistry and skill. On the day of our wedding, Grace & Rachel were professional, friendly, and made us feel completely at ease. One thing that truly impressed us was how they both managed to quickly organize and execute our posed pictures without making anyone feel rushed. They had a knack for keeping everyone relaxed and natural, which really shows in the photos. They seamlessly blended into the background, yet managed to capture every emotion, every smile, and every special moment without us even realizing they were there.

We started to follow SLK Visuals works on Instagram over a year ago, we were stunned by the photos and clips that he posted on his page. We decided to hire him right away. Shawn was very professional, very informative, he listened to what we have to say and want and he followed our vision to a tee. From the get go, Shawn scheduled appointments to introduce himself and who would be working with him; he showed us his work; he is very knowledgeable about his craft. He made us feel very comfortable and we were at ease with nothing to worry on our wedding day. Starting with our engagement photoshoot, the pictures were spectacular; we had filmed a short video that introduced our love story , that was also amazing, and even though it was raining that day this video reflects Shawn's creativity, he really captured us, our goofiness, our happiness and all. This experience was actually really wonderful and intimate, and I actually felt closer and more connected to my hubby than before. And when it comes to the wedding pictures, Shawn and the videographer were punctual and ready day of the wedding; all the photos come out amazingly beautiful, my video is clear and focused. Our wedding was this last October and 2 days later he sent us a teaser and by the end of November we had received the complete gallery. And also, I would like to mention that SLK Visuals is very affordable, compared to other vendors; Shawn works with your budget and gives you what you ask for. I am 1000% satisfied, I will definitely use him again and would Highly recommend his services.
