Fairytale Dreams Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Derby, NY for additional fees

I'm Cass, an Improviser Photographer from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York. Because this is my full-time career I have the time to dedicate to my clients. Rather than only taking pictures of you, I want to get to know you on a personal level. I like to establish a connection based on trust and honesty when taking photos. I am a photographer without cheesy trends, capturing the things that actually matter. REAL LIFE. What you see is what you get; so no over editing or too much posing. I dedicate my work to capturing real emotions in a fun and non-intrusive atmosphere.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Cass as a videographer at a backyard wedding on Lyon Mountain back in August. She was incredibly chill, so kind, and was extremely respectful of what I was trying to capture from the day too. Unprecedented to any photographer I have worked with in the past, she allowed me exclusive time with the bride and groom to get more of the movement shots I was looking for and I was able to get! Never have I ever had a photographer give me the opportunity to work one on one with the couple. Hire her for your wedding, you'll get STUNNING photos and she's a blast to work with!

Upon my call with Hana, I knew I had to book her! She was so sweet & I could tell how much she cared about her work. The timeline process was smooth & I was fortunate to have her come for our Rehearsal boat ride and get pre-wedding coverage of us together and with our guests. She brought the greatest second photographer, Morgan, & they were both a wonderful addition to our day. Their personalities make you feel like they’re fun, sweet guests and not just another vendor. Not to mention, our photos feel like they’re out of a movie! My husband & I already framed two of our sneak peeks and can’t wait for the rest of her beautiful photos!

When I first started looking for coordinators, I had the opportunity to speak to several different individuals. Alissa was able to stick out among them given her amazing personality and strive to build relationships. From day one she was committed to every detail and going above and beyond to help me in every area needed. She was always just a text or phone call away throughout the year and always managed to make time for me. As we got closer to the big day, she made sure every little detail was in order and made sure we got things done, even in the midst of all the crazy! Come day of the wedding and I truly could not have imagined a better team. Alissa and Regan MADE my wedding. They made sure everything went smoothly and tackled any issues I was aware about and not aware about. I was taken care of all night and it was quite obvious their number one goal was to make sure my husband I were happy. Our entire family and friends had nothing but great things to say and have asked for their contacts to recommend to everyone. Needless to say…. Grant and I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Sweet Bliss Media!

  • Serves Derby, NY for additional fees

I’m Annie, a wedding photographer with a passion for capturing love stories in their most authentic and artistic forms. Based in East Texas, I focus on the intimate, unscripted moments that truly reflect your connection—the moments that make your wedding day uniquely yours. I believe your photos should be more than just images; they should be timeless pieces of art that transport you back to the emotions of your day. With a limited number of weddings each year, I ensure every couple receives my full attention. Available wherever your love story takes us.

Awarded Best of Zola
TLDR: I could not have picked a better photographer and I truly believe that Annie would be perfect for absolutely anyone. Her energy is infectious in a way that really brings up your excitement levels but also keeps your anxiety down. My husband is very introverted and was really worried about photos, but she kept him comfortable and in his element in a way I truly don’t believe anyone else would have. As for myself, I felt beautiful and gorgeous the entire time because of her and her partner. For the work she did and the amount of effort she puts into our photos, I believe her prices are incredibly fair. If anything, she’s undercutting herself. I will absolutely be recommending Annie to anyone and everyone. Now for the longer part of the review! We got married on May 30th, 2024 and we were doing our wedding a little differently. Instead of doing private vows or doing our vows at the ceremony, we did our vows at our rehearsal dinner. That is also when we allowed friends and family to come up and say something. The reason we did this route is because my husband is introverted and not a public speaker while I am the complete opposite. He also really wanted to see my walk down the aisle as our first look instead of a private look. Me, on the other hand, wanted at least our family and close friends to witness our vows. So we compromised! On top of it being two separate days, I was very adamant that I wanted two photographers along with wanting to capture the little things, such as my grandparents holding hands or our friends doing silly things at a table. I don’t mind staged photos, but I really wanted more natural focused shots. It was surprisingly difficult to find someone who was able to both days and within our price range. When we stumbled upon Annie, it felt like fate. She was so easy to figure things out with. Instead of an engagement photo session, she was happy to do our rehearsal dinner instead. She was there for any questions I had and the forms she had us fill out were super detailed! It really helped getting our thoughts together and deciding what was most important for our wedding. The day before the wedding, she vibed so well with everyone at the rehearsal dinner. She even got perfect photos of our dogs, who are honestly like our children. The day of the wedding, Annie and her second photographer (who I’ve completely blanked on the name, my fault for taking so long to write a review!) were amazing. Every single one of our friends had compliments for them and just LOVED their energy. Annie kept me calm and collected while the second was fully invested in my husband. I don’t think the wedding would have gone as smoothly without those two. The photos I received back? Better than I could ever dream of. Truly. They got beautiful shots of my grandparents dancing, my dad talking to one of his nephews, his mom talking with his brother. Just candid shots that looked real and natural. I am unbelievably so happy with Annie and the work she put in for us. Photographs are one of the most important things for me at our wedding and she truly blew it out of the park.We thank her for all her work from the bottom of our hearts and will always cherish the memories she gave us.

Photography truly has a full grip on my soul– I love EVERYTHING about capturing special moments to be forever held in time! I consider my style to be way more candid, as I truly adore capturing an authentic experience that is almost tangible to the person viewing the photo. I want the viewer to feel the emotion and as if they were there with us right back in that moment. I love realness of a perfect candid shot…my goal—especially with couples—is to get to the heart of their connection and connect with my couples, as well, to truly make them feel comfortable in front of the lens so that we can get to those authentic magic shots!

We had the pleasure of working with MoonTide Media for our wedding photography/videography. Shannon and Ally were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. Their communication throughout the planning process was fantastic - they consistently kept us updated on travel plans and made sure we were all on the same page regarding the photography timeline. Most importantly, the quality of their work is stunning. We recently received a preview of some of our photos and were brought to tears by the beautiful images capturing our special day. Shannon and Ally have a true talent for capturing emotional moments without ever getting in the way. They were the hardest working team at our venue, going above and beyond to get every possible shot we could have imagined. We felt so comfortable with them that they even grabbed some extra candids of our wedding party that we had asked for with no issues.

Tara Beth Photography is a place of inclusion, empathy, intimacy, and care. From the first email, I take care with my clients. Considering them all unique, and with that, their stories being unique. We talk about how you want to be captured, how your love should be captured. We go over insecurities, love stories, and anything else that may come up during our Zoom calls. I don't want to be just someone you hire. I want to be considered someone you trust, and enjoy to have around!

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Tara Beth for our wedding in December 2022. We started following her instagram years prior and fell in love with how she captured every moment, from the guests to the couple. Not only were her photos amazing, but being a part of the LGBTQ community can feel daunting at times when reaching out to vendors, specifically for same-sex weddings. We had a few tough experiences with other vendors in regards to being a same-sex couple, but Tara Beth, as she is a part of the community, made it easy to feel comfortable and accepting. We contacted her and were met with a quick response. From the start, we knew she was the one. Her vibe and passion for love sold us! My wife and I were very nervous to take photos, but Tara Beth reassured us that she would walk us through everything - and she did just that. She talked us through our first look and it was an amazing experience. She also guided our party and family photos, which was super helpful as we were able to get our photos done ahead of schedule! We appreciate everything Tara Beth did for our special day and would recommend her 100 times over!

I'm based in Massachusetts, but I photograph people all over New England, Italy + destinations! I value experiences over things and I'm always ready to go on an adventure. I believe your wedding day should be true to who you are as a couple, whether it's the adventure of a lifetime, or a low-key wedding.

Awarded Best of Zola
Paula is absolutely amazing. I met with a few different photographers as we were planning our wedding and I instantly felt so comfortable with her and excited to plan the experience with her. I am SO GLAD I trusted myself and booked Paula. She was genuine, open to our ideas while offering input where needed as we planned. And, although my husband and I are both not very comfortable with cameras pointed at us, she made both our engagement pictures and our wedding day fun and special, without any awkwardness. I love our pictures, more than I thought was possible. Honestly, I suspect magic was involved because even my dog (a rescue who usually looks incredibly sad in pictures) looks perfect and adorable in the pictures. Paula also created an album for us and I cannot stop looking at it. It's beautiful and I am so glad we have that to remember the day. We cannot thank Paula enough for everything! We did a hiking elopement, but I know she'd be terrific for so many different types of weddings!! Thank you Paula!!

Hi! I'm Taylor a Georgia based Wedding photographer, mommy, and cheesecake lover. Obsessed with: Family, Naps, and good books. I’ve been keeping it real since 1997. I started my business when I was just 17 years old. Since then I have turned that small hobby into a full time career photographing beautiful couples love stories. Throughout my 8 years in business, I have been lucky enough to photograph over 200 weddings throughout Georgia and the other southern states.

As a wedding officiant, I have the pleasure of working with so many different vendors, photographers in particular, and I can honestly say that Taylor is one of the best! Working with her is always fabulous! Her professionalism, creativity, and dedication to capturing perfect moments and special details are second to none. She puts couples at ease with her easy going nature which helps them to relax around her and act naturally, in turn allowing her to capture a variety of gorgeous shots. During the ceremony itself, she blends seamlessly into the background while effortlessly capturing the essence of the heart of the ceremony. So much so that, as the officiant, I am unaware that she is even there which I think is a perfect approach for that particular part of the wedding day! Taylors work is truly beautiful and her commitment to ensuring her couples have the best possible photography experience attention to detail and commitment to excellence makes her a standout choice for any wedding or special event. I highly recommend Taylor to couples seeking not only beautiful photographs that will serve as lasting memories, but also a stress-free, authentic, personable experience on their big day.

I truly found a love for storytelling once I got into weddings. Weddings are these multifaceted microcosms of stories and relationships that continue to keep me fascinated and excited about capturing them. I find that my style leans towards an editorial, documentary storytelling side, with hints of sophisticated moody & edgy. You feel the emotions of the moment when looking back on your photos I have captured just for you.

Time and time again, she shows you her gift. From booking to getting your gallery, she is great to work with. She makes you feel so comfortable, directs you for shots in an easy, fun way and makes you laugh. She lifts you up individually and as a couple. You receive your gallery and you can tell she put all her love and skill into it. She does a very intentional job.

I love capturing the unseen, messy, and perfectly imperfect photos that you never even knew you wanted. I live for those emotive, raw, storytelling moments. I take a documentary approach to my work; My style is candid and my focus is authentic connection through my images. If I were to describe my style; VIBRANT | RICH | BOLD+COLORFUL.

Working with Jeny was an amazing experience from start to finish. Her professionalism, preparedness, and ability to be so personable were just bonuses to her incredible photography. My engagement and wedding photos are timeless, emotive, elegant, fun, and everything I wanted. This was by far the best investment I made for my wedding. These photos mean everything to my husband and I! She’s an absolute sweetheart and such a pleasure to work with. If you’re thinking about booking with her, this is your sign!!

Joel with Joel's Vivid Snaps was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding photography. His communication throughout the planning process was great - he responded quickly to emails and made sure we were all on the same page regarding shot locations and timing.

The quality of the final images is amazing - he has a real talent for capturing special moments and telling the story of the day. Joel himself was very professional and respectful.

WES offers versatile packages & pricing; reach out and speak with Ashley about your needs.

Ashley is the BEST!! She did my wife and I’s engagement and wedding photographs. They are the best photos we’ve ever had taken of us. Every single photo of us is so raw but perfect and showcases our love in a way I had never seen captured! She also did my parents wedding photos and they are even more amazing(which I didn’t think was possible). I have seen some one off photos over the years kind of capturing the love my parents had (they had been together my entire life and then some aka 38 years before their wedding in 06/24). But every photo Ashley had taken that night managed to capture a glimpse of love that was so fleeting in the captured moments we had! I have no idea how she managed to capture that in every shot but she has a truly magical vision that can do that. It’s the only thing I can come up with! you will never regret booking with Ashley and you deserve to see all the emotions she can capture!

Working with Hevesi Journal was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Their communication style was reassuring, empathetic, flexible, and understanding throughout the entire process. The quality of Katie's work was truly unique, lovely, and creative - they captured all the important moments and understood the vibe of our wedding day perfectly. Katie even traveled all the way from Georgia to Vermont to join us, which we really appreciated. We are thrilled with how the photos came out. Katie has a unique style that we adored from the start. We aren't people who really love having our pictures taken and Katie was understanding of that, while also making sure we got what we wanted (even though we might not have understood that ourselves.) We highly recommend Katie to any couple seeking a talented, personable photographer for their big day.

I never know what to say in bios, they're like a sales pitch that's not supposed to sound like a sales pitch. So here it is: I've been a photographer for 7+ years. I specialize in portraits and architecture, but my love is landscapes. Working across this spectrum taught me to blend techniques, creating a distinct visual style I'm proud to call mine. As for an actual bio, that's easy! As a kid, I loved books, video games, movies, board games, etc. As I got older, I left my room and now I snowboard, cycle, run, lift, motorcycle, and rock climb. Most days though, you'll find me at home with my wife, Emily, and my cat, Juniper. It's a good life.

Hey there- I'm Joanna, but feel free to call me Jo! My world has always been filled with photography- through all the years and different cameras, it's always been my biggest passion and love. I am a travel enthusiast and I will always be down to hike up a mountain or explore a new city. My favorite meals are anything that include coffee or sushi and I am a firm believer that there is no such thing as "too much chocolate." Most importantly, I am a lover of all love and will never get tired of documenting it.

Jo was absolutely amazing for both our engagement shots and the wedding. Her personality is infectious and she provides a great balance of hype-person and quiet observer based on what the moment needs. The photos came out amazing— a true depiction of our relationship without ever looking staged or unnatural. She seriously rocks.

We are so incredibly grateful to have had LittleButFierce for our wedding day! Kristen is professional, confident and skilled.

We got some serious rain on our day and thought photos would be tricky but Kristen was prepared with umbrellas and positive vibes, we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. We knew we wanted LittleButFierce for the extraordinary eye for nature but the results were truly above and beyond

Your experience with me starts long before you step in front of my lens. I take the time and energy to get to know you & your story, so that I can capture the parts of your relationship that are authentically YOU. So that you can look back on the photos from this season of life, and feel like you're right back in that moment, feeling those same feels. To me, a perfectly posed & still photograph doesn't capture a feeling the way that a candid one can. I direct my couples to create images that are full of movement and those intimate in-between moments.

I found Shelby through searching wedding photographers on Instagram and instantly loved her style. We were supposed to get married in Big Bear but had a last minute venue change. She was awesome and so flexible and instead made the trip out to Palm Desert to document our special day. She got there early, organized with her shot list and suggested shots that I otherwise would not have, and I'm so thankful for that! Look forward to working with her again for future life events! Thank you!

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!

From our first phone call with Kyla, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Kyla's communication style was fantastic - she was responsive via phone, text, email, and even met with us in person to discuss our vision. The photos she captured on our wedding day turned out absolutely stunning! Kyla went above and beyond, taking all the family pictures we wanted and choosing a beautiful spot for our wedding party photos. She is reliable, easy to work with, and thoroughly answered any questions we had. The quality of her work is truly amazing - she clearly takes the time to hand-pick the best photos for our album. We cannot recommend Kyla Williamson Photography highly enough for any of your photography needs!

My husband and I booked Blacktie Brothers as our videographer for our wedding in October 2023, and we could not have been more pleased. Mitchell, myself, and both of our families were SO impressed by your team at our wedding. On the day of our wedding, there were quite a few challenges to making the day go as smoothly as I had hoped, mainly the rain caused us to have to move our ceremony inside. The wedding coordinator associated with the venue did not follow up on a few of the tasks she had agreed to doing, namely being present during the photo session to make sure I was comfortable and hydrated. The entire media team at Blacktie Brothers stepped in and handled it so professionally, even getting me water when I felt faint from all of the commotion. Our day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it had without the help Blacktie Brothers gave us. We opted for the raw footage package, so we received an edited movie of our wedding as well as all the raw footage of our day on a thumb drive. The movie they made is amazing. The song they chose for the ceremony portion of the movie was a special choice— the lyrics reflected some aspects of our story as a couple. It was so thoughtfully crafted and makes me cry whenever I see it! The team was responsive and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Any question or concern we had was met with a genuine, timely response. The movie and the raw footage is now something we can have and share for the rest of our lives, and they so beautifully preserved the memory of our day. I have already recommended them to some friend getting married in upstate NY next year. Blacktie Brothers goes above and beyond, and was hands down one of our best vendors.

I bought my first DSLR camera in 2004 when my now wife, Tracey, and I were taking a cruise to Alaska. For a monumental trip like this, I HAD to get an amazing camera. Those 8.2 megapixels with nine four points had me in LOVE. Ever since then, the ability of a photograph to be able to freeze time; freeze an emotion; freeze a memory has kept me addicted. Whether it’s getting a great angle, finding light that tells the story, or capturing the true personality of someone; it all brings a smile to my face and hopefully yours!

As a fellow wedding photographer, I've worked with Chris on multiple wedding days and he is just all-around awesome. He truly cares about each couple, and works hard to create a great wedding day experience. Chris is professional, easy to work with, and fun to be around. He knows his equipment inside and out and provides exceptional photography work. I can't recommend him enough!
