Lily was my photographer for my October wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was so easy to work with, great communication from the time we inquired her services until the day of the wedding. She worked with all the questions and concerns we had regarding her safety, ours, and our guests. She was early on our wedding day, she posed and directed us as we asked and expected her to do (on our wedding day and for our engagement photos). She found creative places near our venue for beautiful photos, which she had scooped out ahead of time. We, and our friends and family, were over whelmed by the beautiful photos she took. They are truly something we will treasure for our lifetime.

I’m Artur full-time wedding photographer behind the Kandid Arts. As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft.

We couldn't be happier with the wedding photography provided by Artur. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of our photos, the entire experience was seamless and professional. Artur has a great eye for detail and was able to capture the essence of our special day with such elegance. The candid shots are particularly stunning—they perfectly reflect the joy and emotion of our occasion. We were amazed at how he managed to document every important moment while remaining unobtrusive. Super fun guy with a great personality and attention to detail! Love it!

Megan Dailor Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450
  • Serves East Rochester, NY

Hey there, I’m Megan! I’m a wedding photographer based in Rochester, NY that specializes in truly connecting with my couples. I live for the moments when I can capture my couples being entirely and authentically themselves. The icing on the cake is delivering them the most beautiful images to look back on and watching their families grow for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let us make this easy by saying if Megan is available, book her. Also if you have a dog and want someone who will love them almost as much as you do, book her. It will be the easiest and best decision of your wedding planning process. We wish we had the right words to describe how incredible Megan is. From the very beginning she took time to get to know us, and truly went above and beyond in so many ways. We were instantly comfortable around Megan which was more important than we realized when hiring a photographer. Seeing our photos now, she truly captured our personalities and moments she knew would be important to us. We are not exaggerating when we say our photos are more beautiful than we could've imagined, and they made us cry in public when we saw our preview. On top of having moments we will cherish forever, Megan was so supportive of us regardless of what challenge came our way. The weather did not cooperate and we were crushed that our ceremony had to go with plan B, so Megan without hesitation mapped out the venue to find covered areas so we could still have photos with the outdoor scenery. When we share our photos people are shocked to learn that it rained that day. The day of the wedding can be so stressful, especially when things don’t go as planned, and having Megan’s expertise, guidance and reassurance was so incredibly valuable. We are counting down the days until we hire Megan again, mostly because our dogs miss hanging out with her almost as much as we do.

Hi, I'm Jacalyn — the photographer behind Jacalyn Meyvis Photography in Rochester, NY and the Finger Lakes. Photos should be timeless. No trendy wedding filters here. On a day as special as this, you should remember all of the important moments. In a way you'll love both now and in 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am SO glad I chose Jacalyn to take our wedding photos! As someone much more comfortable behind the camera, I was determined to find someone I could really trust with my very specific vision. Jacalyn delivered and more! Jacalyn took photos on our wedding day and during our Vietnamese tea ceremony the night prior. We also asked her to add on Super 8 film for our wedding day - and it was worth every penny! (For shooting the Super 8, she was accompanied by her second shooter, Bekah, who was equally amazing!) Jacalyn is truly a professional through and through. She was extremely organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and kept communication open. On the wedding day, I was stressed about a lot of things - but the photos were not one of them! Throughout the day, she was able to capture so many special moments that I would never have even seen otherwise given how preoccupied my husband and I were. I am eternally grateful for her ability to capture such details through her work. She not only has a great eye and instinct, but her editing style is impeccable. It's so timeless and natural, and exactly what I wanted! My husband and I are already talking about booking subsequent photoshoots with her for anniversaries and future events.

  • Serves East Rochester, NY

Personally, I’ll totally take timeless and authentic over trendy any day. To me, authentic moments always make for more beautiful and personal photographs. Because of this, it’s truly important to me that your wedding pictures say something real about you and who you are as a couple at the beginning, on this day together.

We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!

Dani T Photography

  • Serves East Rochester, NY

I've photographed 100+ weddings and countless engagements during this wild ride of a career, that started about 10 years ago. Trust me, when I say, I have seen it all. From busting my best moves on the dance floor, getting that wild uncle away from the bar for family formals, to making sure you feel like the baddest B in the room..I've got you! Need help with a timeline, what to wear for your engagement session or what location is going to rock your world? I've got it under control.

Neither myself nor my husband are super comfortable in front of a camera. That said, Dani was AMAZING at making us feel relaxed the whole time. From the first minute of our engagement photo shoot to the last dance at our reception, we loved having Dani capture our relationship - awkward moments and all. Her photos are breathtaking and perfectly encapsulate our laughs, our emotions, and our love. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding and I am so thrilled we chose Dani.

Capturing the perfect shot isn't just about clicking a button – it's about feeling the vibe of the room with finesse and a special eye. From directing family formals to wrangling tipsy groomsmen (hey, it happens!), I've got the knack for orchestrating those must-have photos. I also know when to step back and snag those authentic, unfiltered moments (like drunk groomsmen dancing!) that make your story complete.

Kenzie Gates Photo was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Kenzie's communication throughout the planning process was fast, quick, and informative - she always responded to messages within a day and kept us updated on timelines and details. The quality and value of her work is magnificent, breathtaking and phenomenal. She perfectly captured the special moments of our wedding day and got all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. Her artistic eye and talent shine through in the photos. The final wedding album she designed told the story of our love beautifully. I would highly recommend Kenzie Gates Photo to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers exceptional results and is a pleasure to work with.

With unwavering inclusivity, I capture the spirit of all my clients, including the LGBTQ+ community. I love what I do and because of that, I put my all into it.

When sending your wedding gallery over, I imagine you looking through it together and I want you to be taken back to that day.

We can’t thank her enough for such an amazing wonderful experience.
