  • Serves Clay, NY

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.

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Clay, NY

Hiiiii! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic imagery and video, and lead with a documentary approach, mixed with editorial aesthetic (usually for direct flash portraits, which are my favorite). Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or a grand celebration at an estate, I'm here for it. Upstate New York is my home base, but I love to travel. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, getting coffee with my husband, Teddy, or drawing in my sketchbook.

Awarded Best of Zola
Photography and videography were one of the most important vendors to me while planning my wedding. Booking with Juliette was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding (coming from a very lucky bride who had a 10/10 perfect wedding day). She is so incredibly talented and her work is both professional in quality and personally unique in style. Working with her and her husband Teddy was so comfortable and felt like I was talking to old friends every time we’d check in by FaceTime or worked together in person. She worked with me even with my busy work schedule and is the best for setting up packages that highlight everything you want on your big day and doesn’t force/pressure the things you don’t feel you need/want. She also helps to plan out a reasonable payment plan schedule that made making payments so much less stressful over several months leading up to the wedding. I am so thankful to her for making this part of my wedding less stressful and capturing so many beautiful moments. I could write a book with all the nice things I have to say, highly recommend for any/all occasions! The absolute best!

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?

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I serve the beautiful region of Upstate New York, capturing love stories and life's most precious moments. I believe in a personalized approach, working closely with brides before their big day to establish a detailed timeline and shot list, ensuring every special moment is captured. My commitment extends beyond the wedding day; working with couples to create stunning printed heirlooms that they can cherish forever. Often, I have the joy of continuing to document their journey as they transition into parenthood.

I contacted Courtney after seeing her work for my besties engagement shoot. My wedding was originally supposed to be in July 2020, Courtney was understanding and helpful during the rebooking process. The day of my wedding (July 9, 2021) Courtney fit in seamlessly with the group. She made us all feel comfortable and ourselves in our photos, which is a big deal for my husband who needs direction (lol)! Our photos turned out beautifully! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Courtney has become like a member of the family, she was now done our friends wedding, our wedding, maternity shoots and newborn sessions for both of us! We just love her!

  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Clay, 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.

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!

Welcome to Emily Woznica Photo. I am a Wedding Photographer based in Syracuse, NY that photographs weddings all over CNY. I am a true to color and natural light photographer. This means your photos are tastefully enhanced and still match the moment. I primarily work with couples and my work ranges from engagements, weddings, family sessions and more. Things that inspire my me are historical architecture, stone, sunsets, and water. I have a calm and laid back personality, but I am genuinely passionate about serving my clients to ensure they receive the quality photos they deserve.

Emily, and her colleague Katie, were absolutely incredible to work with. From day one meeting via Zoom, she made me feel fully at ease and brought that same warm, but organized, energy to the actual wedding day. She got all of the shots we asked for - and then some! Throughout the day, she was gentle but firm in guiding us to stay on track with schedules (my family is notoriously horrible at this) and I'm just so appreciative I had her presence there on my special day. She even climbed through the woods to get some sunset photos of me atop a hill - a ridiculous demand of mine but she did it with a smile. I feel like I made a new friend in her! Thank you again, Emily and Katie, for the amazing captures you took - you did a wonderful job. 11/10, highly recommend!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding.

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.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Michelle and Allison (her 2nd shooter) were absolutely phenomenal! We were so excited to get our photos back -they were stunning and exceeded by expectations. Michelle is a breeze to work with, and a true professional. She was able to help us navigate everything from various terrain, to family dynamics, all while calming my nerves. Several of my bridesmaids who had been in other weddings/recently married remarked that they had wished their photographer was as organized yet calm and directive as her. She wrangled a big bridal party quickly and made sure we had amazing shots. We had such a blast with her during our engagement shoot (which I highly recommend doing!) as it gave us a feel for her fun personality (along with her dad jokes) as well as how she shoots, which helped me figure out poses I liked/didn’t since I am very self conscious. We loved that she tries to take photos that reflect “in the moment joy,” rather than just a ton of posed photos (though don’t worry, she will take plenty of beautiful portraits too). She really understood the importance of capturing the spirit of the day and we are so excited our photos!!

Awarded Best of Zola
You simply MUST hire Kelsey if you're looking for a wedding photographer. In our search, we kept coming across very moody or over-/under-saturated photography styles, which was not our vibe. We came across Kelsey's portfolio and were greeted with vibrant, true-to-life color and we were hooked. Kelsey's also just an incredibly kind and charismatic person — she made us feel at ease on our engagement session, and we got a chance to really connect, which made our wedding day that much more exciting because we felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. Kelsey went above and beyond her duties, like providing us with wedding day timeline guidance and driving one of us over to the venue so we could execute a 'first look.' We can't imagine our wedding day without Kelsey being there! Her photos speak for themselves, but I hope this review gives you the added encouragement to reach out to her, because you'll regret not hiring her for your own wedding

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.

Celia is not your typical wedding photographer -- not even close. She is so much more! She's a documentarian, artist, journalist, and storyteller, and that is exactly why working with her was one of the best decisions we made for the best day of our lives! My husband and I wanted a photographer who would prioritize candid photos of genuine emotions and chaos (let's be honest, weddings are chaotic!) as opposed to staged and rigid "everyone-line-up-and-smile" portraits. The Lovely Lens fit that bill entirely. In addition to delivering the most beautiful, vibrant, happy, REAL photos of our wedding weekend, she was also such a lovely presence the whole time (I felt like she was a genuine friend by the end!) Also, she was totally game for everything! Our wedding got a late start thanks to the weather, which squished the time we'd allotted for photos exponentially (we also decided not to have a first look, so the photo time was even more squished). Celia quite literally sprinted through a field of wet grass and mud and then through a secret corridor with us as we rushed to get back to our cocktail hour to be present at our wedding. She is a superhero, and we cannot recommend her enough!

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

I’m not sure I need to say much beyond the amazing attached photos, but Natura Collective has amazing wedding photography and we cannot recommend them more highly. They were super responsive and flexible (even as we accidentally lost them in our spam filter until a month before the wedding!) and we first met them on the day before our wedding (we turned our engagement photoshoot into a last-day-of-engagement photoshoot). They were super friendly and very good at making us feel like natural photo subjects - which is impressive given that my wife’s biggest source of nerves for the wedding was maybe having so many photos taken of her! They were super receptive to our needs and desired photo style, never pushing us to take more photos when they knew we had enough, and we cannot recommend them more highly.

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. 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.

From the moment we first spoke with Emma Cleary Photo and Video, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was clear, prompt, detail-oriented, and educational, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the photos they captured were comfortable, beautiful, magical, ethereal, and so clean. They asked all the right questions, from inquiring about golden hour and sunset shots to handling a multitude of family and necessary photos on the day. Most importantly, Emma, the owner, was incredible. I couldn't have planned and executed my wedding without her services and immediate attention to detail, the timeline, the photos needed, her suggestions and discussions, and the seamless edits and delivery of the final products. I highly recommend trusting this business with your event or special day - they were everything I didn't know I needed, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time.

Our wedding photos were one of the more important decisions for me and I knew right away after looking at Erin’s portfolio that he was the photographer for me. My husband was not excited for this part of our wedding but he knew how important it was to me. He then proceeded to tell me three times during our wedding and multiple times since how relaxed he felt and how much fun he had- especially during our first look photos! Our pictures were returned promptly and are stunning!! I highly recommend him!!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

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.

Andrea was literally the best. I am a bride who couldn’t make decisions on the day of, I was too anxious. If you’re an anxious bride, you need her. Andrea walked in, greeted me, and got right to work. She talked to my bridesmaids to get things she needs and only asked me questions when necessary. (Which I loved ). She was great at directing people and making it all happen for me. She was super fun and 1000% knew everything that needed to be captured.

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. 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

Wonderful hardly even describes working with Lauren. She was wonderful from start to finish and we could not believe the images she captured. Our wedding day was such a whirlwind we felt like we were taken back to that day when we saw the images. Thank you for capturing every minute perfectly.

We are so happy we found Hayley! We had a small laid back wedding and wanted lots of candid photos and nothing too posed. I saw her website and knew I had to hire her, and I'm so glad I did. She was always quick to answer emails which was great. After talking about how we wanted the day to go, Hayley already had great ideas for where to take pictures. Now we have photos of all our friends and family together. Hayley was so unobtrusive she fit right in. She also took awesome photos of just the two of us with the lake at sunset. We love our wedding photos and will cherish these memories always.

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in 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 husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

Our outdoor photos were beautiful. Kyla set clear thoughtful expectations during our consult. This lead to a tailored photo shoot with all the elements we hoped for and more! We were so happy with our pictures, we were able to print our photo-invitations and send them out with a week if the shoot. Supurb!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

Nicole was a dream to work with! From the second she stepped foot on our property, she was friendly, inviting, eager to her thing! She was so kind and professional the whole time. We absolutely loved having her work with us and she also takes amazing photos! We can’t wait to see her back at the farm and get to work with her again! Thank you for being one of the sweetest people we ever met Nicole! Please come back soon!
