I’ve always known of jacq, we had mutual friends. I noticed her start to get into photography, and told my husband (boyfriend at the time) that I was going to ask her to do our yearly holiday card photos. So I reached out and scheduled a date, little did I know he was planning on proposing during the photo shoot. Jacq, on her free time, with my husband and best friend planned the most magical surprise engagement photo shoot - it was so special. Since then, she has done our engagement photos, bridal shower photos, and most recently our wedding photos. Her and her fiancé have become people we truly consider friends. She’s been part of some of the biggest moments in my life and I am so beyond grateful for her. We had SO many sneak peeks within a couple days of our wedding - people usually wait weeks for them!! By 2 weeks after our wedding, on Christmas DAY, she sent us hundreds more photos edited and ready to be seen. She is so accommodating, talented, creative, hardworking, professional and most of all- she has the most genuine heart. We love Jacq and Jacq Photography LLC so much. I can’t wait for her to capture more big moments in our life as our family grows!!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Cortland, NY

I am a healer, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Intuitive Tarot and Past Life Regression Reader, clay artist, self-taught photographer, chased of natural light, bee lover. Photography is my creative happy place and for as long as I can remember, I've always carried a camera around my neck. I'm an art enthusiast, a hopeless romantic and a documenter of soulful memories and joyful love stories that will last a lifetime. I am meticulous in my work, yet at the same time, I can improvise in the moment. A wedding is never a challenge should it go off planned course, but rather a series of enchanting opportunities.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Ella! I was looking for a photographer I could click with, friendly and artistic. After a long search, I was happy to come across her page. I contacted her with a thousand and one questions, and she was sweet and responded in a timely fashion. She advised on venues that might accommodate my guests, djs she's worked with, catering businesses that her previous brides used, florists - I mean, I was so happy to have an insight, as a new bride I had no idea where to turn, and I was happy to get her help. On our wedding day, Ella was everywhere I turned my head. She got to the venue a little before our scheduled time and took pictures of our venue and table décor and scouted places we could do our family and bridal pictures at. I wanted a first look with my Dad - and Ella organized that to happen without ruining the moment. I liked that she suggested things I haven't thought about, like a first look with my bridesmaids, cute pictures with my flower girls, etc. Every detail I wanted, Ella captured, and so much more. Our wedding pictures are so beautiful, I sit and look through them every few months and sometimes I print different ones for our living room walls.

Bridget Badore

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Cortland, NY

I'm originally from a small town outside of Syracuse, New York, and moved to NYC when I was 18 to study photography at the School of Visual Arts. Photography has been my way of understanding the world since I was young; I was given my late father's old 35mm camera as a child, with my first experiences of image-making learned through his old notes and manuals. I was hired to photograph my first weddings in high school, documenting friends parents and family members weddings, and then eventually my own friends. No matter the client, it always feels like such an honor to be asked to document some of the most tender moments in people's lives.

Bridget has an incredible talent for really SEEING the people she photographs. She has an eye for color, emotion and connection, and utilizes all three while telling the story of a wedding day in photographs. She is also funny, kind and just a wonderful person to work with!

Sarah was our photographer and she was great. I was planning a destination wedding in New York from California and she made it easy to connect. To talk style and shortlist. On the day of she came early to set up and she helped get the guests in position and made suggestions for lighting and poses to make the most of the location and the lighting through the day/sunset. I’ve already gotten a glimpse of how that worked since my friends followed her around snapping the same poses on their phones and they are amazing. Looking forward to the real shots. Thank you Sarah for making the day feel so natural.

Nicole Adrianna Photography

  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Cortland, NY

From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting loose on the dance floor, I'll be there to document your love story (and all the fun bits). I'll even make sure to snap authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the best ones! Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping candid shots or be right up the front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be the chameleon you need on the day. Either way, I'll not miss a beat behind the lenses.

We had hired Nicole to come on a hike with us in Upstate, NY to photograph our engagement. Not only did she capture beautiful photos, but we had a fantastic time hiking with her and formed a relationship with her, which is a rare find when it comes to vendors! Despite it raining and being foggy, she was a trooper and the pictures turned out amazing - we think even better than if it was sunny! We love both her documentary-style photography and editing style. She really knows how to capture the moment without it being performative! We had so much fun and it didn't even feel like we were in a photoshoot. I was a bit anxious because I don't do well in front of the camera or know how to pose, but Nicole knew exactly how to make me feel comfortable! She was super friendly and professional. We would definitely work with her again, and are currently looking to hire her for our wedding!
