Amy Pcolinsky Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Central Valley, NY

To start, I'm obsessed with memories! I am a mother of two wonderful kids and the wife of the most amazing, supportive man. Photography has been such a big part of my life the last twelve years and I can't thank my clients enough for allowing me to capture their special moments. I believe in capturing moments as they happen. My style is clean and natural and there's always those black and white moments that I can't live without! I love having a vision and seeing it realized through a photograph. Also, I love to travel!

From the moment we met Amy at our engagement shoot we knew we were lucky! Not only is Amy easy to contact and work with, she makes you feel at ease and like you are a rockstar! On top of all that-she is a DANG GOOD TIME! On our wedding day we had the pleasure of working with not only Amy but her partner Alex as well. By the end of the night we had found new friends in them. There was not a moment of stress on our part as they took control of everything and made the day run so smoothly. We have received a few teasers already and cannot wait to see the rest of our day through their eyes! If you are looking for a photographer who feels like a lifelong friend, is professional, makes you feel at ease,and takes stunning pictures then Amy is 100% for you!

Loretta Rodriguez Co

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Central Valley, NY

If I had a superpower, it would be celebrating people. I'm my friends' biggest cheerleader and I'll be yours too during this whole process! As a documentary wedding photographer, I focus more on being in the moment and letting you be YOU, by reminding you why you fell in love in the first place.

When you choose Loretta, you’re not just selecting a wedding photographer. You’re making a new friend. Loretta - and her husband Juan - have been such a blessing to us throughout the entire process. From our first zoom meeting where her genuine good & joyful spirit came through the screen, to turning an engagement photoshoot into a fun double date at our favorite pizza place. The person she is truly separates her from anyone else you’ll select for your big day, not to mention she has INCREDIBLE skills with the camera. Both the indoor & outdoor portions of our wedding day have their own specific look and we loved the way she portrayed our beach setting AND the dance floor moments in all her photos. OH ONE MORE THING - our reception ended at 11:30pm on a Sunday. She gave us a “sneak peek” of over 100 photos within 12 hours that we were able to share with all our friends & family the next day! Our wedding day/night was such a blur, yet we were able to relive it the next day in every moment that she captured on camera. If you want outstanding customer service, brilliant professional photography and a lifelong friend, Loretta Rodriguez is the way to go!

All the beautiful moments, from the tiny ones to the big amazing ones - they are all important. We tell stories from start to finish, with a focus on emotion. We photograph in our home cities of San Francisco, Chicago and New York City, but also travel internationally - we've photographed weddings in seven countries.

Tuan B & Co are so kind and amazing to work with. Their team is dedicated in capturing every moment with such care and consideration that you can tell they love what they do and give it their all. They are the only team I know that will anticipate social interactions during all parts of the event day and capture all the emotion in those special moments. The energy of the day comes through in their work with what feels effortless- but in reality it is the years of experience and artistic vision that can only be brought to you by Tuan B & Co.

Sari Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Central Valley, NY

I'm a wife, a mom and a New Jersey wedding photographer!! I love Jesus! I really really love to travel!!! And I'm the one who always plan the vacations. My favorite food is Italian. If I had to choose between the beach or snow, you will definitely see me jumping into the water!! I have a degree in Accounting and Finance and I love to create budgets. I was born in Cuba, so my first language is Spanish, lived in Colombia for a few years and my plan is to get old in the United States.

Sarai came recommended in a wedding group I was in, and we could not have been more pleased with our decision to hire her for our intimate courthouse wedding. From our very first interaction, Sarai was incredibly responsive, friendly, and collaborative in helping us plan the perfect November morning around lower Manhattan. My husband and I have varying degrees of comfort with pictures, yet she was able to capture both staged shots and joyful, candid moments that made our wedding day so memorable. Sarai took the time to get to know us as a couple and brought out our goofy, playful sides without even trying. She went above and beyond anything we could have imagined, delivering the best value for the incredible quality of her work. Sarai is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but a genuinely kind and personable human being. We cannot recommend Sari Photography highly enough for any couple looking to document their wedding day with beautiful, timeless imagery.

Hi. I’m Angelica and I’m a Brooklyn native, a momma, and gamer who has been into art since a child. I focus on capturing candid, wholehearted moments portraying your true personalities while always keeping the vibe relaxed and intimate. Your wedding is a unique and precious celebration of love. It should be fun for you and your guests. Just be yourself as I capture all the happy, emotional, romantic and quirky moments that make you and your partner who you are.

Awarded Best of Zola
Angelica captured our special day absolutely perfectly. We had hired her for our wedding that was supposed to happen in 2020 but had to be rescheduled for 3 years later due to the pandemic and through that entire time she stuck with us! She was communicative and responsive, and her shots were absolutely gorgeous. She managed to capture every single important moment of our celebration and the way she guides and corrals everyone into taking pictures that look good is nothing short of a miracle (trust me, I feel so awkward in front of the camera and I look incredible in all of my wedding shots.) If you need a photographer for your wedding, Angelica is 100% your girl.

You know those first few months that you fall in love & everything is so wonderful & terrifying & just so damn GOOD? It's that “new love” feeling & I’ve never been able to replicate that feeling with anything else, except photography. Your wedding day tells the story of your love. From that “new love” to the more comfortable kind, it is the culmination of all those moments leading up to “I do.” I consider myself the narrator of that day, telling that story and documenting your connection through my photographs.

We highly recommend JENNY for any photo needs. She’s amazingly detailed and makes you feel like she’s your best friend. We were both nervous for our engagement shoot and she made it a breeze! 15/10 would recommend!

With over 6 years of experience, I can anticipate anything that could happen on a wedding day. I have plan Bs for my plan Bs. I have PDF guides to help you with planning and prep for what to expect. I'm here for you every step of the way.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jess and her second shooter were absolutely clutch - they came EARLIER than expected, took a look at all the spacing, and planned out what exactly what we would do and where. Jess also managed my absolutely crazy family by figuring out who should be in what photo EVEN THOUGH she had never met them before. And she did amazingly beautiful getting ready photos. I don't know what to tell you except that I'm in awe of her artistic talent and what a complete steal she is. For someone who already had really high expectations to live up to from the engagement shoot, Jess hit every single expectation we had and more! We chose a crazy artistic venue with a courtyard, garage, townhome, and gallery - but Jess managed to find all the best lighting while also managing to keep us away from guests during our first-look photos. She has just such an eye for style it's CRAZY! And she captured all the small details perfectly. There's really no choice here - if you want someone who captures the real moments and gives you photos that let you remember what your wedding FELT LIKE - not what it looks like on a postcard, but the real gosh-darn emotion, then you need to book Jess. You 100% will be so happy you did - because the person behind the lens is also a gem. <3

Journalist and professional photographer/cinematographer in good standing since 1980 Member of the most prestigious wedding and event associations, Internationally and the States. Serving the Tri-State area of New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia, with a level of excellence unmatched by our competitors.

I looked into several photographers, and the low budget ones were basically bad, and the good ones were thousands of dollars. Adorable time gave us top quality photos at a reasonable price. We went out to Robert Moses beach to shoot our engagement shot, it was easy to meet up and communicate with him. He was very professional, and it was a breeze to do business. The contract signing went without a hitch. Ive posted our engagement shoot photos so you can get a good idea of the quality. My moms an amateur photographer and she really likes them as well, which is surprising since she is very picky. I'll probably update this review when the wedding pictures come in.

I’m a full-time wedding photographer currently based in Central Connecticut. I love traveling, Thai food, all dogs, almost every type of music, and pretty much anything related to astronomy. Talking about myself has always been a little weird for me because I love hearing about you. My couples become my friends instantly, no really – as soon as we have our first chat together it’s DONE. BFFs for life. Be prepared for creating secret handshakes, inside jokes, and a ton of memories together!

Kelsey was a dream to work with - like having a friend with you on your wedding day. It's clear her goal is to please her clients - I did not feel nickel and dimed whatsoever. In fact I felt the opposite - she showed up early to all our events with a smile and true excitement. She took creative direction with ease and appreciation and is just so talented. Don't hesitate to book with her, you'll be so glad you did.

As a candid wedding photographer, my work is created with the purpose of preserving your love story with intention, honesty, and real connection. Getting to know you independently and as a couple through my questionnaires helps me to capture images in a way that is authentic to your unique love story. Every person is unique and your love reflects that. At your wedding you'll find me getting vulnerable with your closest peeps, using my ninja skills to quietly get the shot, and definitely singing along to any song I know on the dance floor. When I'm not shooting, you can find me snuggled up in bed watching my (current) favorite Netflix show!

From my first moment as a wedding photographer, I knew I wanted to kick tradition to the curb. I was tried of seeing wedding photography that excluded the communities that I hold closest. I work hard to form a real connection with each of my clients to craft an experience that captures their unique spirit.

Ashley is so perceptive and talented! I told her a little bit about us and our style and she created the right balance between moodiness and fun that we wanted. She always got back to us just under 24 hours and answered every question that we had. She is dedicated to her clients and their needs. I enjoyed being in her company because she made us feel comfortable. She understood our needs and never pressured us to do anything out of our comfort zone. We are a more laid back, care-free couple, so we gave Ashley lots of space to experiment and it definitely paid off. If nothing else has convinced you, we have already booked our 1 year anniversary photos with her and I will continue to go back to her for any event that should be photographed.

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.

Jose is fantastic! He has so much experience and very professional. Before our wedding day, he always had quick and clear communication. We loved his artistic eye and dramatic style of photography. He knows how to give good direction for those that aren’t used to posing or being photographed, and was always looking for the next shot. He definitely lets you be you and can still get amazing shots. We were surprised at how quickly we got to preview our gallery. After the wedding day, I realized that there was so much I didn’t get to document personally to remember the details from that day. But after seeing some of the shots, Jose had made me so happy to see how much he documented from the day! I highly recommend Jose :)

Celebrating the wholeness of life and the perfection of love I truly ask you to "stay gold"! My beautiful clients are couples of all genders, orientation, and identities who have found each other and want this moment in time captured in heirloom quality. We leave the churches and the hotels and venture into wild world, up the mountains, to the islands, into the forests, and out into the deserts. Stay Gold Tyler delivers stunning portraits, family heirloom formals, and b-roll candids that will have you laughing and "aww"ing for a lifetime. Tyler splits time between South Florida, New York City, and Seattle.

We got married in the Hoh Rainforest in the Olympic National Park in Washington state. We chose Tyler because we hadn't been to the location before, and he was from the area. He guided us through the entire process, helping us find a beautiful place for the ceremony in the rainforest, and provided clear directions for getting there (it's 4 hours from the city, deep in the national park). He managed to keep us laughing even when it started raining. My husband and I can be awkward in formal photos, but Tyler helped us feel comfortable the entire day, and the results were absolutely stunning!

Wedding photography is so much more than snapping a few frames. It's about being a part of the experience, making connections, and meeting new people. Whether it's laughter, joy, or romance, there is nothing better than being able to show what a couple's love is all about through images. I care about the moments first and foremost. Let's create some magic, make memories, and have an experience that you won't soon forget!

I can't say enough about John. He was amazing to work with for my July 2020 wedding. Even during covid he made it happen! He was very professional and personable. I absolutely love our pictures! The lighting and the candid shots were just what we were looking for. He worked well with our dogs too! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day and capturing those wonderful moments for us! Highly recommend!

Husband + Wife duo! NY transplants. We have a 7 year old son Finn, and a 3 year old daughter Goldie, as well as a goofy golden doodle Bernie and an extremely sassy cat named Scout! You can typically find us at home drinking way too many lattes, or taking advantage of everything NYC has to offer!

Teryn and Dakota are so great! For our wedding we opted out of engagement photos so I was a bit nervous that meeting them for the first time on our wedding day wouldn't give us time to get comfortable with each other. But that wasn't the case at all. They are both very warm, friendly and talented and got us right away. We booked for 2 consecutive days with them. Friday at city hall and the following day for the reception. Teryn and Dakota were kind enough to turn around a handful of photos from city hall so we could include them in our slideshow that we showed our guests at the reception. We had the best experience and could not have been happier with Teryn and Dakota.

Pierce photography was great to work with. We had two shooters and added the photobooth option. During the photos Jason was a natural photographer not forcing the poses and allowing for our personalities to come out. Throughout the ceremony you didnt even know he was there but yet he caught so many moments that otherwise we would have missed. Still to this day we look at our album and are amazed at the quality of work we got staying in our budget. Wouldn't change anything and would definitely use Pierce photography in the future for more events.

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.

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.

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!

Keith MacDonald Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very first interaction, his communication was clear, transparent and made us feel comfortable. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations - he captured every shot we had envisioned, even when we unexpectedly had to shoot our first look in rain and sneak the bridal party photos in during then too. Keith made us so comfortable during our photo sessions, helping us feel at ease despite our natural discomfort in front of the camera. Keith has a true talent for seeing through that and capturing us exactly as we had hoped. He is a one-of-a-kind photographer, and we are thrilled with the beautiful memories he was able to create for us on our special day. I would recommend Keith to absolutely everyone and would book him again in a heart beat.

I stay behind the camera because I'm more than a little introverted. That is, until I get to know people. Then I open up and we can talk about movies, music, dogs (I'm happy to show you pictures and videos of my rescue dog). I love what I do because I get to capture moments between you and the most important people in your life that you'll be able to relive for decades to come!

Casey is a great combination of technical and interpersonal skills - he's a terrific photographer who also knows how to talk to humans and make them feel comfortable. I have sent him to several friends of mine for weddings and family photos, and he always gets the shot while making the families feel at ease. You'll love his clear communication and speedy delivery.

Kansas girl plopped firmly in the middle of Brooklyn—and loving every minute of it. When I’m not awkwardly dancing at your wedding reception I can be found exploring NYC with a large coffee in hand, hosting dinner parties for my friends, oogling puppies on the street (please bring your dogs along to our sessions…), or feeding my popcorn addiction at the movies. I feel damn lucky to have a job where I get to hang with the coolest people on such an amazing day. Let's have some fun and make some awesome memories together!

Sarah's top notch! She made us feel completely comfortable on the day of while producing a gallery that we can't stop looking at. She was great at capturing people's authentic joy and did a good job of balancing not interfering with the day and getting pictures in the midst of it. Loved, loved working with her!

After nearly a decade of freelancing as a wedding cinematographer and photographer, I’m excited to have opened my own studio, dedicated to capturing love stories. While I originally came to the U.S. in 2015 for a Master’s in International Business, I discovered my true passion for documenting life’s most special moments. Weddings are about more than just beautiful shots—they’re about preserving raw, candid emotions. My goal is to capture moments you’ll cherish forever, so you can relive your wedding day for years to come.

We were so impressed with Saajan's professionalism and expertise from start to finish! He's not only a talented photographer but also an incredible person to work with. Saajan was organized, punctual, and made sure every shot was perfect. He gave us just the right amount of direction while still allowing us to be ourselves in front of the camera. The final photos blew us away, and we've received so many compliments from family and friends. If you want a photographer who is both skilled and a joy to work with, Veil and Film is the best choice!

Upstate New York-based wedding photographer that believes in breaking in the rules and keeping the energy laid-back and fun. That's right, we do things a little differently around here. Believe me when I say I get it, having your picture taken is scary stuff. Now throw in the nerves and stress of a wedding day and you're a freakin' hot mess. Here at CLP I'm fully invested in you and in making your wedding day kick-ass!

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and engagement photos! From the moment we started working with her, she made the entire process feel effortless. She did an incredible job with our engagement photos, and we were absolutely thrilled with how they turned out. It gave us complete confidence going into our wedding day, knowing we were in such capable hands. She was super accommodating and thorough, ensuring every detail was covered in advance. We went over the schedule beforehand, and she made sure we had all the specific group photos we wanted, which was such a relief. Her attention to detail was unmatched, and she was always quick to respond to any of our questions or requests, which made the entire experience stress-free. On the day of the wedding, she was a calming and positive presence, seamlessly capturing candid moments and organizing group shots without disrupting the flow of the day. Her professionalism, combined with her warmth and kindness, really put us at ease, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our day perfect. The quality of the photos speaks for itself—every moment, big and small, was beautifully captured. We’re beyond excited to see the final album! We can’t recommend her enough for anyone looking for a photographer who goes above and beyond to capture your most special moments.

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 :)

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.

Run, don’t walk! Do yourself a favor and book a session with Acromatico - you won’t regret it! During our Covid wedding we felt safe working with them as they were professional, flexible and understanding. Acromatico brought our vision to life. Marietta ( Tica ) was a dream to work with, energetic, engaging, and a lot of fun! There just aren’t enough words to possibly describe how amazing each and every photo turned out to be. She has a magical way of finding the perfect angle, lighting and of course expressions. Would definitely recommend and use for future events!

I'm not here for insta-worthy moments. I'm going to capture the wind in your hair and sand on your feet. I will photograph you dancing in the pouring rain and laughing at the cake you just smashed in your partner's face. Life is messy and beautiful, joyful and sentimental. I don't believe in perfection, but I do believe in perfect for you.

Anton and Natalie were absolutely amazing to work with! I was stuck on making a wedding timeline and they took right over and sent me one to get me started! Communication leading up to the big day was frequent and helpful. On the big day, Natalie went above and beyond, holding my train, holding my drink, and stepping in and buttoning my dress when my mother wasn't able. I will forever be grateful for all of the extra things she helped with that day. The photos were excellent and had their artistic touch that makes them unique and standout photographers. They definitely have a long and successful career ahead of them.

Shelby was absolutely amazing! From the beginning, she was organized, professional, and made us so incredibly comfortable. Her photos are amazing compositionally, and she was great at directing us to get the best shots. We chose her because her photos have a natural vibe and warm tone. We knew we could rely on her to capture the day perfectly. So happy we chose her, highly recommend!

Our style is Honest, Emotional, Intuitive, and Real. We love traveling anywhere in the world, as long as we're together!

I have worked with Jacklyn & Chris for 2 years now and their professionalism and communication is the best I have ever encountered and don't get me started on their photography. I am blown away on their work every time I see a photo of theirs. Jacklyn has become a friend over the years but that doesn't take away from her level of professionalism and level of service she offers to our clients. I cannot recommend a better photographer for anyone I know. JAG Studios is amazing!!!
