Cheyenne Lee Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves De Ruyter, 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!

My husband and I got married in June of this year. One of the hardest vendors for us to choose from in the beginning was a photographer. Once we met with Cheyenne, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so personable and kind from the first meeting with us. She did an amazing engagement photo shoot with us back in September of last year and gave us option to choose where ever we wanted for the location and also helped give suggestions to a location as there are so many to choose from! Cheyenne was also tremendous in figuring out our wedding day timeline. This was something my husband and I were both stressed about just making sure we had everything right, but she just asked us simple questions and did everything from there! This was so beyond helpful! She also shared it with all of vendors after she put the timeline together too. Fast forward to our wedding day - she was nothing short of amazing!! She got there early to check out the venue first and then was right on it with photos of the guys and then the girls! Cheyenne captured amazing photos from every single part of our day. I attached just a few that she captured. She was amazing getting all of our family pictures done after the ceremony too! Cheyenne also bustled my dress for me before the reception with ease and so quickly! This was beyond helpful and so kind of her as it wasn’t something she had to do, but she was so happy to do it! She was with us for almost 12 hours on our wedding day and had a smile on her face the entire time. She is so genuine and amazing at what she does. We are so thankful that we did because she’s the absolute best! One more thing that Cheyenne does that I didn’t see a lot of vendors do that was so helpful - you can do a payment plan with her and pay every few months before your wedding (depending when you book). This was really helpful as weddings are expensive of course so having this option really helped us plan and prepare better! Make sure you book Cheyenne! You will NOT regret it, I promise!

Debbie Gander Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves De Ruyter, NY

My clients describe me as caring, passionate about my work, and trustworthy. I am honored to feel like an extended member of the family when I'm photographing weddings! When I’m not working with amazing people, you'll find me hiking in the Hudson Valley, 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We love Debbie! Debbie has been such a pleasure to work with through our wedding process. Since our first meeting with her, Debbie made us feel super comfortable and at home, feeling more like a family friend more than just our photographer. She has a great knack for getting the best shots and captures authentic feeling in her photos. She was so good at helping us relax in our photos (which was great for me as a notorious camera-shy guy). Debbie will be our first call for any professional photography in the future and we 110% recommend her!

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves De Ruyter, NY
  • Offer

Hello there!! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic photo and video, and mix in-the-moment candids with editorial portraits (usually with flash photos!) Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or an elegant celebration at an estate, I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first call, I just knew Juliette was our photographer! She’s so down-to-earth and kind, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable—like we were working with an old friend. She’s insanely talented (seriously, her work speaks for itself), but it’s her warmth and energy that make her truly special. The second she and her husband showed up for our wedding weekend, we knew we made the right choice. They’re just such genuinely kind people, and everyone in our family and wedding party were impressed and loved them immediately (without even seeing a photo). Juliette wasn’t just our photographer—she became such an important part of the day. I honestly can’t imagine our wedding without them. To give you an idea of just how incredible Juliette is: my sister got engaged a month after our wedding hired Juliette immediately. My mom literally said, “We already love Juliette, why would you even look for anyone else?”. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does. We weren’t looking for a full wedding video, just something simple to capture our vows and speeches. Juliette put together a custom package that fit exactly what we wanted, and she still managed to go above and beyond. She just gets it, and somehow manages to exceed every expectation. What really sets Juliette apart is that she goes beyond simple wedding photography—she tells a story with her work. Sure, you can hire someone for 2-3k, but you will not get the high-quality, gorgeous, editorial photos that Juliette delivers (sorry!!!!). Her photos are next-level—every single shot feels thoughtful, stunning, and so full of life. Juliette is worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough—she is such a gem, and I am honored that she captured my wedding.

The Story Photography

  • Serves De Ruyter, 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!

Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

We are a same-sex, interfaith couple, and came to the table with family drama, a crazy dog, and a mashing of cultures. Kathryn didn't bat an eyelash. She has a true inclusive spirit, and that continues to mean a lot to us. If you want to be able to relive your special day with profound joy for years to come, just choose Kathryn!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Celia was incredible to work with. My (now) husband and I are usually pretty awkward in front of a camera so it was really important for us to find a photographer we felt comfortable with. I knew Celia would be that person as soon as we first connected! She's such a warm personality and a very calming presence to have around on a day that can be quite stressful. She did a phenomenal job capturing all of the candid moments of the day and then gave us some direction when she saw a cool opportunity for a shot, which is exactly what we were looking for. The photos she took are stunning and turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We both still cry when we look at them. Highly Highly recommend working with The Lovely Lens for your wedding!!

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!

I was the maid-of-honor in two weddings who had Michelle as their photographer and 4 years later I knew that I wanted her as mine. She is an amazing person to work with, extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and a super talented photographer. She listened to my special requests and accommodated my very large bridal party perfectly in photos. She also isn’t afraid to take a quick detour to capture beautiful scenic photos! My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with Michelle and Allison which is super important since the photographer is the one vendor you are with for the entire day. Hiring Michelle was the easiest decision we had to make during our wedding planning!

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.

Emma and her team are FANTASTIC! My photographer was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding and upon our first meeting I knew they were the perfect fit. I went with Massimo as the lead photographer who also did our engagement shoot. It was so nice to meet with him and see his work before the wedding. Leading up to the big day they would check in to make sure all details were finalized. My wedding was very unique in that I had an Indian wedding and traditional wedding all in one day with multiple outfit changes. We had a lot to cover and Emma's team was more than up for the challenge. We had 2 photographers including Massimo and a videographer. They were extremely organized and creative to capture shots I would have never thought of on my own. When the previews came in I was in shock of how beautiful they were and now that I have all of the photos and videos I get to relive the day all over again with friends and family. I could not recommend Emma and her team enough for weddings and other big life moments!

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.

I have been a photographer since 2017 and have shot over 200 weddings to date. If you’re looking to add an ally to your wedding team you are in the right place! We will provide consultation to avoid the common wedding day hiccups. Whether it’s running behind schedule or securing the best available locations for your photos. Have you ever modeled before? Probably not, and that’s ok!! We have successfully worked with all personality types. Our goal is to bring your vision to life. No two weddings should be the same. We will approach your special day as a huge collaborative effort.

Not sure where to start.  Manai totally took us by surprise.  We knew we wanted something a little different but weren’t sure what exactly.  Personally, I hate taking photos, but he kept us engaged with conversation and simple directions, and things flowed naturally.  His sense of humor was a pleasant surprise.   My fiancé really wanted a good pic with our dog, and Manai totally blew us away.  So creative!!  Highly recommended!!!!

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!!

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

I don’t have enough words to describe how much we love Lauren! We were recommended by a friend to Lauren for our wedding in 2017. We had met with 8 (yes eight!!) photographers before Lauren and from the minute we sat down with her, we knew she was special. Her attention to detail and care about us and our family was exceptional. I don’t even really remember seeing my own wedding planner more than twice on my wedding day but Lauren was there every second keeping me calm and making sure I was ready for every moment of the day and night. A few weeks after our wedding, we received our photos and my husband and i cried tears of joy looking through the best day of our lives. Your wedding is the fastest day of your life and to be able to relive it from the outside through these amazing photos was the best gift we could receive. Since 2017, we have used Lauren for ALL of our family shoots for holidays and special occasions. We will never look elsewhere. Do yourself a favor and contact Lauren! It will be the best decision you will ever make for your wedding!!

I cannot say enough great things about King!!!!!! He is truly the best photographer you can work with in the Tampa area. He covered my wedding, and he was a delight to work with. 1. He is very timely in his correspondence and very professional. He has a contract that he follows to a T so you know you are getting absolutely everything you asked for. 2. He is so sweet and moves around your wedding like a guest. He talks to people around the wedding and isn't just a person with a camera. He really does a great job integrating himself into the wedding. 3. HIS PHOTOS TURN OUT STUNNING!!!!!!! You will be BLOWN away by the quality an the artistry of King. He may look like he is just snapping pictures, but he is doing way more than that! He is working a vision and capturing your special event in a way I cannot explain. Check his portfolio. Nothing but amazing things to say and truly no post will encapsulate how thankful I am to have chosen King for my wedding!

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.

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!
