  • Photojournalistic style

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.

I never write reviews but for Cass I definitely had to. She is absolutely amazing, she captures the moment without you even realizing. Not only is she a great photographer but she has a beautiful personality. I would highly recommend Cass to anyone!! She does not disappoint, she goes above and beyond with everything she does!

Kasaydia Wind Media 

5.0

Plattsburgh, NY
  • Videographer
  • Storytelling style
  • Starts at $2,900

Kasaydia Wind Media is a videography company rooted in storytelling. We put emphasis on creating a unique and special experience for each couple we work with. From the big moments, to small, it is most important to us for you to look back on your day and see the love you have been surrounded by. By keeping our team small, we are able to ensure that the same person capturing your moments in real time, are also editing them. This helps us recreate the magic for you to look back on for years to come.

Kasaydia and her team were absolutely incredible. Not only was she easy to work with, but the footage she was able to get for us exceeded our expectations. I cant explain just how in love with our wedding footage we are. In addition to that, a few months after our wedding we unfortunately lost my mother in law - I was able to reach out to Kasaydia to see if any extra footage of our mother was available - she had it to us in hours. My heart is so full knowing we found the perfect person to capture all the love and beauty of that day, and that we made a friend in her. If you're like me and care a lot about meshing well with your vendors - she's your girl. From the first chat we had I knew she was going to fit in nicely, but during our first phone call I knew for certain I had made the right call in hiring her. She was such a pleasure to work with, she was so easy to be around, and we truly enjoyed having her at our wedding - not to mention our video is PERFECT. I just wish we could get married again so we could have more footage for her to make into magic!

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Liv at a wedding she did in fall 2022. She was super professional, and you almost didn't even notice her snapping pictures through out the night. Then I saw the pictures she took from that wedding and I was like ok this has to be my photographer!!! I booked her before I even had my venue booked, she takes the most beautiful pictures! Her prices were very reasonable and I was able to have a second shooter, to ensure I was able to have pics of my husband getting ready. She made everything so simple, and even did a timeline of my day which Liv was so great at staying on schedule and making sure she got enough pics of my husband and I. She was so easy to work with, and anytime i looked around for her to make sure she was getting a picture she was legit standing in front of me capturing every single moment! She is so pretty, so kind, and very laid back, which helped me so so much bc i was constantly freaking out! Oh and she also sent me preview pictures within 24 hours!! I couldn't believe it, and the pictures are gorgeous!! If you are looking for someone to capture your day seamlessly and professionally Liv Photography is for you!! She is the BEST!

I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I have since moved to 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 fiancé, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. In the summers we are out on Lake Champlain, the falls are spent in the seasonal colors of the mountains, our winters are spent inside the hockey rink and as the flowers start to bloom we are out getting ready for the summer.

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!

Over the years, this destination has hosted a large number of spectacular weddings, which ensures that it can deliver an environment and experience that no one else can!

Awarded Best of Zola
I don't think there's a word in the English language that can express how perfect our wedding day was. Let me start from the very beginning: After many days of visiting venues, and sorting through reviews, we found our favorite, Hiland Park. Dan who runs the wedding services met us, showed us around, and introduced us to the Hiland Park brand and it was everything we wanted and more. As soon as you drove your car onto the grounds, you knew it was a top-notch place. The landscaping was beautiful and well maintained. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. The renovations (aka the entire place) were modern with an elegant flair, yet little touches of history were scattered throughout the property, especially in the bar and cocktail hour area. We wanted a wedding with great food (not mediocre by any means) and Hiland blew us away with the selection. We picked a plethora of foods for the cocktail hour and curated our dinner menu with ease. Hiland Park ensured our guests would be well *hydrated* by only offering a top-shelf bar (liquor, wine, and beer) for the entire reception and cocktail hour. You aren't suffering from lower-tiered alcohol packages, there is one and only one. Easy choice! Our attendees (and my wife and I) are still raving about the food. The staff, as they deserve their own paragraph. Holy Toledo, we were blown away by the attentiveness of the staff. Every detail of the day was spot on and their attentiveness to ensure it was perfect and never faltered. Everyone had a smile on their face. Dan really takes care of his employees, and they really take care of the business. We haven't seen this type of service in all of our life. They were a major reason our day was so successful. The kitchen staff and chefs blew our already high expectations out of the water with some of the best food that ever grazed our palates. The bartenders were speedy, and aces at what they did. The servers and bride/groom attendants were some of the kindest people in the world, and they took their jobs very seriously. With a wedding of 180 guests, they served everyone a piping hot dinner in 10 minutes...unheard of. Our photos came out perfectly. The scenery was stunning! We wanted an indoor/outdoor vibe, and Hiland had this wonderful patio with heaters, a fire pit, a gazebo, etc. so our guests could choose to be indoors or out. At the base of the Adirondack mountains, the views were a perfect backdrop to our pictures. If you're still deciding on a venue, look no further. We wish we could relive this day over and over again. Dear Hiland, thank you for making our wedding day the best ever. We won't ever forget it!!

Jason was fabulous for our special day and so easy to work with! From the second we met with him at our engagement shoot we were already comfortable. Our dog was a huge part of all of our photos during engagement shoot and our wedding day and Jason was so good with her. He is so compassionate about his work and everything he could do for us during our special day. He made sure we had exactly everything we wanted from photos and throughout the crazy process of photos on your wedding day. He was patient in the heat we were dealing with and the 10 minutes of rain we got. Constantly asking us if we were ok and seeing if there was anything he could do to keep our day perfect. The preview we received only a few hrs after Jason left the venue were absolutely stunning and we are so excited to get the rest back.

YM Photography 

5.0

Glens Falls, NY
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

YM Photography believes in memories and moments and all the tiny unforgettable things that happen in between. We believe that some photos are just too important to trust that 20 years from now that you'll still love that filter so we go for a timeless, classic look.

When my fiancée and I thought about what was important to us when choosing a photographer for our big day in Rhode Island, we were looking for someone with bright and romantic style, someone who knew how to pose/shoot plus size bodies, and more importantly someone who was engaged with my partner and I in the planning process. We found all of that and more in Yesenia. From the jump, Yesenia knew exactly what we were looking for. As a plus size bride it was important to me that our photographer show that they understand how to pose/shoot larger bodies. Yesenia sent me a message and directed me to several examples in her portfolio and calmed all of my insecurities. She also asked really thoughtful questions and gave us lots of tips throughout the planning process. Seriously- her guidance/organization was more helpful than a lot of the “how to” guides out there. We did a mini engagement session and wedding photography with Yesenia, and in each of those moments I appreciated her clear direction/guidance as she helped us get so many beautiful shots. Her strong communication also extended to all of the vendors we had hired for our special day. By putting your trust in her she can truly create magic. Yesenia was also very transparent about how/when to expect follow up to both communications and when galleries were expected to be delivered. While you can’t always control timelines, we were fortunate to get all of our photos on time or ahead of schedule. I can’t stress enough how wonderful she was to work with. Everything about our experience was above and beyond all expectations. Her care and love for her clients radiates in her work. If we ever need a photographer in the future, we know who we’ll be reaching out to.

We had our wedding at The Barracks Inn last month (Labor Day 2022). What a beautiful venue, the view can't be beat, the reception/dinner room is beautiful, the food was wonderful. And the drinks were perfect! The owner was so accommodating with all of my quirky plans - never complained, listened to what we wanted and made it all happen. We are picky so this is really something. The sound system is great - really over the top from what you would normally expect. Dancing on the beautiful deck that sits out on the water was heaven. We could have danced until dawn. I heartily recommend this venue and Kim (the owner) as "the" place to have your wedding, anniversary party, birthday party, or just a party party! You will be very pleased with the whole process.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. My name is Abigail but you can call me Abby. I've always loved creating videos from a very young age. In the last couple years, I've found a real passion for Videography. After filming my first wedding, I fell in love with the career. What makes this job so special to me is being able to capture the most important moments of that day, and telling your personal story through editing, to make a curated video that is so special to you and your loved ones.

Abby was so pleasant to work with! She was very communicative, timely, and made sure she knew what we were looking for in our video before the big day. She was there to capture all of our special moments, but sometimes you didn't even know it! She was so sweet, she even helped me with my bustle at one point. From the first time I watched her videos I loved how personal they were and the transitioning is so beautiful. Our video included the most precious memories from that day, feels so incredibly personal to us, and it is something we will continue to watch throughout our lives together! We're very glad we chose Abby for our wedding film and would highly recommend!

  • Florist
  • Starts at $75 per arrangement

After beginning a career in the home interiors industry in NYC, I found myself longing for a creative outlet! I began taking a few floral design courses to keep myself sane and fell in love! After 7 years in the city, I decided it was time for a break and moved back upstate to the Adirondacks. Here I began working at my family's business, Tromblee's Greenhouse, furthering my love for flowers. As customers began to ask for floral arrangements an organic business outlet was created. Blee's is a nod to the business that grew my love for flowers, my connection to a community, and a family that welcomed me.

We met Megan at a wedding styled shoot and fell completely in love with her floral work. I reached out to her for our actual wedding and she brought our vision to life! She was very professional, creative, and easy to work with, as well as a great communicator. She and a colleague arrived promptly on our big day and really transported us to a tropical getaway with the table decor, floral arch, and my bouquet. We highly recommend working with Blee's!

We met Christopher at another wedding that we were a part of and were impressed with the photos. When it was our turn to get married about a year later, it was a no brainer to book his services for our own wedding. Christopher is a breeze to work with, he invests his time and energy into making the whole experience joyful and rewarding. We got comfortable with him during our engagement session, so when the wedding day came, it felt like he was just a part of the celebration. He captured beautiful photos of us and our love and his video team has been hard at work creating a memorable video for us to help us relive the day. After the wedding, he and his team walked us through creating our album and we are so excited to see the final results in person soon. We highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography!

In 2013, 8-year wedding veteran Amy McCord Jones realizes she wouldn't be able to afford to hire her own floral services if she was a bride. Then, Amy discovers that there is basically zero help available for DIY brides. No flower recipes. No instructions. No access to florist-grade blooms. Rude. So she launches Flower Moxie! Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

We had a tropical themed wedding and used Flower Moxie for tropical flowers and greenery: bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, ceremony arch flowers. I wish there were more tropical related videos on their DIY Academy, but I did love working with my assigned florist and the help desk was quick in their response. For those who are getting married at the same location that the flowers are being delivered (my parents' home), I wish we would have done all of the floral arrangements the day before instead of 2 days before. And our spray roses came a day later and were a little sad looking. But overall, we were very happy with the service and highly recommend to others!

Whether it was using a Polaroid as a kid, bringing the ole digital point & shoot along to the bars in college (until I dropped it in a vodka RedBull - RIP) or finally growing up & buying my first big girl DSLR in my early 20s, I have always had a flare for anything creative. I'm sure my parents wished I had a flare for performing heart surgery but here we are... I love travel & all things adventure/outdoors (Want to climb a mountain to elope? I'm your girl. Want to exchange vows in a National Park? I've been to 29, count me in).

Hello there! I'm Andrea, owner of Amative Creative, and every weekend we're so blessed to be able to tell the love stories of so many amazing couples. Like many others in this industry might say, we simply adore weddings. But what makes us a little different is our entire brand is centered around telling love stories specifically curated to reflect your vision and aesthetic. "Amative" means to be prone to love, so as you can see, we want nothing more than to tell your love story! But what makes us truly unique is that we understand every love story looks different. And we personalize every aspect of how we document your wedding day!

Awarded Best of Zola
Andrea and team have been nothing short of phenomenal. Not only did Andrea take the time to talk through the entire process from start to finish and answer all of our questions, but she remained in constant contact before, during and after our wedding. She always answered our texts and calls, no matter what time of day or night! She and her team made us feel very comfortable during our engagement and wedding photos, and she respected our comfort level. The photos the Amative Creative team delivered are straight out of a wedding catalogue--her product matched our vision exactly. She provided 2,000 photos within six months and the wait was totally worth it. Not only did Andrea take our engagement and wedding photos, but she connected us with a photographer while we were on our honeymoon in Paris to take additional photos that Andrea then edited and delivered within two days. Working with her has felt like a dream! Andrea and team love their clients like their own family, and we would recommend Amative Creative again and again.

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
I first hired Dani to do a surprise proposal/engagement session with my husband. She was super warm and helpful right from the start, helping me plan out the surprise. Our engagement photos are gorgeous! It was an easy decision to hire her for our wedding photos, 21 months later. We were not disappointed: our wedding photos are more beautiful than I could have imagined. Dani is so easy to work with! Her communication is prompt and clear. She has an unobtrusive style in person: she gives direction when needed, but is great at just capturing the moments as they happen. She never asked us to do corny poses or staged pics. You can see how comfortable we are with her, because we look relaxed and happy in our pics. I barely noticed her taking pictures during the ceremony, but the pictures are amazing! I would recommend Dani wholeheartedly!

Here at Tree Films, we make your story a priority. We strive to get to know our couples and how they came to be, down to the silly coincidences and weird first dates. We like to think that our mission goes beyond just documenting your wedding day -- the goal is to create an unforgettable experience! We are invested in making each video as genuine as possible, as if your story was being told by a best friend who witnessed all the important stuff. Tell us who you are as a couple and let us put together a video that tells the story from day one to I do!

When we were in the process of looking for photo/video vendors for our wedding, we knew we wanted a combined service, but we were having a hard time finding the right fit. Someone I was looking into did not have our date available, but they recommended Tree Films Creative. When I say this was the best thing that could've happened to us, I MEAN IT. Tree Films has been nothing short of amazing. I was amazed that they were even available for our date. From the very beginning, Ashley was so personable, she listened to what we wanted, she was knowledgeable, and so professional. She was our main point of contact and her and I instantly became what felt like good friends (even though I only met her via zoom calls). I asked her for help with a few things throughout the process and she never batted an eye and helped me with it all! She was very responsive; I was never waiting for a response or wondering what was going on. She always kept me in the loop. Once our big day finally arrived, Ashley and her team were at the venue before I arrived. She greeted me and I felt like I already knew her. The entire Tree Films Creative team made me, my husband, and entire bridal party comfortable and I remember having a sense of ease. I could not recommend this team enough. They went above and beyond for everything on my wedding day and beyond. At this moment, I have received photo previews, which was way more than I thought, (happily) and I cannot wait for more! I have seen the teaser film and am just blown away. I am patiently waiting to see the rest of the photos and videos and I know for a fact that they are going to be incredible. I am so happy they were the ones who captured our day for us. I can go on and on about Tree Films; they were a literal DREAM TEAM. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

Our editing and style depends. Very easygoing and flexible depending on the client's preference. Our team is dedicated in delivering memories.

We were fortunate enough to have Randell as our wedding photographer and videographer as I just stumbled to find him in a local wedding facebook group and without a doubt, he is THE BEST! From the moment we met him, it was evident that his professionalism and passion for his craft set him apart. His efficiency on the big day was truly remarkable. He seamlessly blended into the background, ensuring he captured every significant moment without being intrusive. His ability to organize group shots and direct us for those perfect candid moments showcased his experience and expertise. Now, let's talk about the photos - they are nothing short of spectacular! The only "problem" Randell presented us with was making every single photo look so incredible that it's nearly impossible to choose our favorites! As an artist myself, to me each image is a work of art, reflecting his keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of lighting and composition. Randell not only delivered on capturing the essence of our wedding day but exceeded our expectations. His creativity and skill turned ordinary moments into extraordinary memories. We are beyond grateful for his dedication and the timeless images he has given us to cherish for a lifetime. If you're in search of a wedding photographer who not only meets but exceeds expectations, look no further than Randell. He's not just a photographer; he's an artist who turns your special day into a visual masterpiece. Thank you, Randell, for making our wedding day truly unforgettable!

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

This is delightfully different elopement + wedding photography! From helicopter elopements, to hiking engagements, to weddings with bouncy houses, I capture the adventurous, quirky, and unique. Based in both New York and California, with travel worldwide, I've photographed couples on 6 continents. My creative, fun, and 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 awesomely unique shots on top of it all.

Hi! Congratulations on your engagement! I'm Arielle and I want to photograph your wedding! I'm a fun loving lady that's totally in love with love. I have like 20 years of experience with a camera in my hand, and 6 years since I started shooting weddings full time. Rain or shine we're going to have the best day ever if you choose me to shoot your wedding. I grew up in Vermont and after traveling around in living in several different states I made my way back to Vermont where I posted up and started this wild photo business and I've never been happier to share my talent with you! I can't wait to meet you!

Arielle single handedly helped pull off my wedding day after many many covid-related changes. She took everyone's safety seriously but also brought so much fun and light which was needed for me-- a stressed out bride. Working with her felt like working with an old pal. Communication was reliable and responsive. We got our photos so quickly and they were stunning. She put us at ease on our big day. She's incredibly talented. And she's a delight to be around. Hire her!

Words can’t describe the beauty and love she puts in each piece she makes. I got married almost 3 years ago, people still comment on my floral arrangements. I still have my bouquet & plan to use when we renew our vows. I love knowing that I can bring apart of our beginning to later in life.

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Erin. I planned my wedding over a 2 year period and Erin was there every step of the way helping with vendor selection, timelines, site visits, and any question I could possibly have. She was very timely with her responses, extremely organized, and was always down to jump on a zoom call with me. My wedding would not have been what it was without Erin's help, I feel very lucky to have had her as a day of coordinator!
