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.

The Story Photography

North Syracuse, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Essex, 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.

There are no words to describe how incredible Chris is. He was calm, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Truly one of our favorite vendors. We were floored when we got our pictures back. He captured everything beautifully and we hardly knew he was there! At the end of the night he gave us the kindest words and smiles. Do not even think twice about contacting him - he is the real deal and will make the process easy.

Meghan Marks Photography 

5.0

Delanson, NY
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Essex, NY

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

Meghan shot our summer camp wedding in September of 2023 and did an amazing job! We asked Meghan to come early to our wedding to capture our guests enjoying the various camp activities and the pictures came out fantastic! Her attention to detail and photographic composition skills are great and her photos really tell the story of our special day. As a testament to the previous statement, we had a full moon and clear sky on our wedding night and Meghan had the idea to get a shot of us together under the moonlight which made for a fantastic picture! Meghan's communication, professionalism, and skills are top notch and we would highly recommend her for your special day!!

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!

For Couples who are good at heart, that live for the seconds and party like no tomorrow. Capturing Authentic moments, focused on heartfelt storytelling. Based in the Southern Adirondacks, I have been wedding photographer for 15+ years now telling over 400+ wedding days.

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
  • 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.

  • Starts at $2,600

I turned a passion into a business back in 2013 with the goal of being able to continue working, and stay home with my children as much as possible. (My husband’s idea actually, not mine *thanks babe.) We have two hooligan’s now that keep us quite busy and always on our toes. We’ve built our family here in the North Country and love it! The kids specifically love the cows behind our back yard.

Chelsea is one of my favorite vendors to work with. With my job being very difficult as a wedding planner, she does a wonderful job doing her own job without me having to stay on her. She always considers my thoughts and feelings before making any big decisions on a wedding day. She's always professional and puts the bride and grooms wants first. I look forward to the next event I get to work with Chelsea on :)

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Christopher enough! Throughout the planning process Christopher was available to answer any question we had. Our wedding pictures came out beyond our expectations and we are so thankful he was there to capture our day. Our wedding day started off with some rain and Christopher was able to adapt the portraits to still capture the outside elements we were hoping for. He made the portrait process fun and we were able to stay on schedule even with large extended families. He along with his second photographer Sadie were able to capture a picture of almost, if not every guest! We are so lucky to have Christopher at our wedding and will treasure our photos forever!

Swoyer Photography

Putney, VT
  • Serves Essex, NY

I love what I do. I found my way to professional photography in a roundabout way, having started my working career as a marine scientist and environmental educator in CA and then on Maui. After years immersed in the ocean and hundreds of hours spent underwater, I realized that I was happiest on days when I could adventure freely with a camera in hand. The drive to learn more and become a better photographer lead me back to school on the east coast, where I ended up finding a new dream career and a home and community that I love.

Laura was super responsive and thorough from the time I first emailed her inquiring about her services. She was super flexible when it came to our engagement photos considering we took them in the middle of the mountains! When it came to our wedding day Laura was very go with the flow and accommodating with last minute time crunches and changes. I would absolutely recommend Laura to everyone looking for a wedding photographer!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Ali! She reached out to me on Zola and I am so glad she did. I was impressed with her portfolio and I really loved seeing how she would capture little moments in the weddings she had done. We set up a video call before booking and we clicked. She is very calm and helped with my pre-wedding nerves. She worked with us on a payment plan and she was always very quick to respond to any of my questions. She really listened to what we wanted. She got to the venue early to scout out different shots and came to check in with me a couple of times before we even began taking photos, which I did not expect but was very sweet and considerate of her. When we were taking photos, she really helped to guide the more “posed” photos but she also captured a lot of beautiful candid moments. We had so many guests come up to us and compliment her and that was before we even got the photos back. She sent us our sneak peeks the next day and I couldn’t be more thrilled with the results. She captured so many beautiful moments and her style is exactly what we wanted. Nothing felt “overly edited” just perfectly genuine. I cannot recommend Ali enough. I cannot wait to see the full gallery of photos because I know they will be nothing short of perfect.

I'm Chrysa- a self-taught photographer since 2014. My entire life I've always been in love with taking pictures. 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).

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer for engagement photos, boudoir, wedding photos or simply just because, you need to stop searching and just book with Chrysa NOW! We have used her for all of these things and would never think about using anyone else. She is the easiest person to work with and the galleries that she puts together let you see yourselves in a whole new light. Our wedding gallery has (and will) let us relive that day over and over again. Our entire day was a whirlwind but she captured every detail and moment perfectly and even details and moments that we missed that day! So if you want someone to capture the biggest or smallest moments in your life, or make you feel like a knockout when you’re half naked in front of a camera, don’t sleep on booking with Chrysa.

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!

Andrea and her team have all been incredible to work with! I knew photography was one of my top "no skimp" areas and Andrea was able to capture everything we wanted! Many of our extended family were not able to attend our ceremony due to COVID, but were able to "experience" everything through the photos we shared. From engagement shoot, to bridal portraits, to actual wedding, to even an extra shoot after the wedding in the mountains--her talent and skill is beyond anyone else I have seen! Even my husband (who does not love to be photographed) feels comfortable during our sessions and agrees she is worth every penny and more! We love her and will definitely continue to work with her for years to come!

We cannot recommend Dani enough! We have worked with her on a few occasions and knew from the very first time that she would photograph our wedding one day. Dani was so helpful throughout the entire process. During our initial consultation, she was so supportive, encouraging, and excited, it made us feel confident in our decision to elope. She took the time to listen to our vision and then created a detailed and thoughtful schedule, while still making the day feel relaxed. Dani has a special talent for making you feel comfortable in front of the camera. We really appreciated her pose guidance and her unique vision when choosing locations. When we received our photos, we were blown away by how perfectly she captured the entire day, from start to finish. The photos truly tell the story of our wedding day. It's hard to put into words how much we appreciate Dani and her work, but the photos speak for themselves. We always have and will continue to recommend Dani to everyone we know!

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not have been happier with Nicole. She was always responsive and easy to communicate with. When we had our engagement shoot, she was enjoyable to work with and took incredible photos. From that point we never felt anxious about any aspect of the wedding photos, because we knew we had found the best photographer we could possibly find, and we were totally right! We love our photos so much, and I can't recommend that peace of mind highly enough. She is incredibly talented and efficient, quickly understood what we wanted and managed to give us everything we hoped for without disrupting the big day in any way. Many of our guests have commented on how great the photos were and how amazing it was that our photographer captured them while never getting in the way. Working with Nicole was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

She kept our families in line AND ON TIME, which is not a small task. She even helped coordinate a surprise with my husband that left me speechless!

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.

Having Sydney as my wedding photographer was the breath of fresh air I needed on such a big day. She went above and beyond. Sydney is way more than just “the photographer”.

Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes.

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!

She is the ultimate hype-woman and made us feel so comfortable and so at ease even though we were both terrified to be in front of the camera. Our Wedding fell on the coldest day in decades in Cooperstown, NY and Bridget braved the wind and the snow to get us the gorgeous pictures that we had dreamed of! She truly captured the love and warmth of our Wedding Day and we are so excited to hang these photos in every room of our home!

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.

Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha.

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Jaci is really incredible. She's so talented, super professional and fun! It's important that you're comfortable with your photographer, especially on your wedding day. She allows you and your partner to relax, enjoy taking photos and let your true selves shine. We trusted her completely and loved having her by our side taking photos. She allows you to be yourself and still make you look incredible. In addition to making you feel great, she's so creative with locations and the photos are works of art. My partner and I didn't know we could look that good! We took photos with Jaci during COVID and while that added another layer of difficulty, Jaci didn't miss a beat. She was still able to instruct us while keeping distant and really made us feel comfortable. When we got the photos back we were so excited and honestly, surprised at how amazing they came out. They were better than ever expected. HIRE JACI! She will exceed your expectations. She's worth every penny (and even more!). Thank you Jaci!

Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! If you’re thinking about hiring Natura Collective, then stop thinking and just say yes! Christian and Emilio are out of this world—we’re talking complete creative geniuses. We hired them for our wedding photography, and they also did our engagement shoot. From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit.

I was introduced to the world of photography the same week I was introduced to the world. All thanks to my Dad, who was never without his camera. Because of him, our memories growing up are preserved. Then I got my first camera when I was about 6. I documented everything. Since then, my memories, large and small, are organized on my computer, by year. So I can go back & revisit so many wonderful memories from my life...most which I wouldn't even remember without pictures. I enjoy life, and that’s why people call me the “happiest photographer.”

Two Upper West Siders. Twenty blocks apart. How had we not crossed paths before? Or did we? Well, after finally matching on Hinge we made that happen and the rest is history! We have combined families and now as a family of 7 (three dogs, two cats) we have become an unstoppable force. We both share the same passion for photography, capturing the beauty all around us and making magic happen. Our dog Lucy, embodies love, kindness and poise. We couldn’t imagine naming our business after anyone but her. That’s how Love, Lucy Photography came to be.

Bethany and Raquel are artists of the finest caliber and they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book them immediately! They excel at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having them photograph the event, and the photos they deliver at the end. On your wedding day: They of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic they deliver is that everyone forgets they are there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how they do it, they didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo they delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and they were both so sensitive to that without losing anything important. They melt into the background and capture the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. When they deliver the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which they delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. They are very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline and of course answered every single question we could have had along the way. They also helped us create a timeline for the day which kept everything on track and as planned which helped keep my head on straight! They weave the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album they delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

Kaitlyn was an incredible photographer to work with! We did 2 engagement photoshoot sessions with her, which were both so fun!! My husband was dreading the photography most, out of all parts of “wedding planning.” But Kaitlyn was able to make him feel relaxed and comfortable so that he actually enjoyed himself! And he actually loves the way he looks in the photos! (He usually hates having his photo taken and the way he photographs.) Kaitlyn was able to capture our silliness, laughter, and genuine happiness in the candid photos which is exactly the look and feel I was hoping for in our photos! (I’m personally not a fan of the stiff posed or moody photos.) Our second engagement shoot also included our dog, which was fantastic! Not only was Kaitlyn great to work with on wedding day and the 2 engagement shoots, she was also a great resource for planning the logistics and timeline of the wedding day. She had great input of the flow of the entire day, which was something I had completely overlooked. Most importantly, Kaitlyn was very professional the entire time. We also gave Kaitlyn the added task of photographing the flower girl nieces (ages 2 & 7 years) and the ring bearer nephew (age 5) who is on the Autism Spectrum. All 3 kiddos still talk months later about how they had so much fun at the wedding! And Kaitlyn was able to capture them all smiling! Photographing dogs and kids is always difficult to ask for, but the photos of our smiling nephew on our wedding day made the parents and grandparents cry tears of joy! It’s rare to catch this kid smiling! We loved working with Kaitlyn, and we can’t wait to do more photoshoots together in the future!

How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today.

Charlie was first in line, waiting to check us in for our appointment, setting the tone for a smooth and stress-free session. His calming presence was especially appreciated by my husband, who felt at ease throughout the entire experience. Charlie's talent behind the lens is remarkable. Not only did he capture stunning photos of us inside the courthouse, but he also took the time to explore the surrounding area, capturing the bustling energy of Manhattan during this beautiful moment in our lives. His kindness was evident in every interaction, putting me and my husband at ease, resulting in beautiful pictures.

Working with Nelson and his team was a breeze, and we are thrilled with the photos and videos we received. We reached out to Nelstudios after seeing the photos from a friend's wedding, which were beautiful — professional and personal at the same time. I couldn't believe how much they captured, because they were practically invisible during the ceremony and reception, and their stealth allowed them to capture such authentic moments. I'm someone who doesn't usually photograph well, so I had a lot of anxiety about the way that our wedding photos might come out, especially because we were getting married in an unconventional venue (aquarium) that doesn't allow flash photography in much of venue, and we were getting married at night in November. From our first call, Nelson assuaged our concerns and inspired our confidence. He was quick to offer solutions and suggestions and make it work however we wanted. He and his team were super accommodating and helpful on the day of, adapting to the challenges of the day and keeping spirits high so you (almost!) couldn't tell in the photos how stressed some of us were. My husband and I had some anxieties in real-time about the process of shooting "romantics" — those hyper-posed, super-cutesy photos of the couple touching noses in front of a sunset. This is just really not our style as a couple, and I wasn't sure how they would come out or why we would want to have them, so we were astonished when we saw that we had literally a hundred gorgeous photos of us looking natural, beautiful, and very, very, in love (which we are, but I don't think we'd had a single photo capture it well until now!) In addition to the super posed stuff, Nelson and his team also captured some of the most organic and candid moments of the wedding — our officiant shattering a vase at the moment my husband was supposed to shatter the ceremonial glass, a tender moment between me and my mom before we parted ways at the alter, and what we THOUGHT was a sneaky solo snack run to a nearby taco truck just before the ceremony. I hadn't anticipated how important it would be for me to have our vows and all the toasts recorded in their entirety, but they came out great and we were so grateful to have them since it was hard to actually experience anything in real-time at the wedding. The footage of our first dance was also incredible — it came out looking like a movie, and I'm not sure how they were able to do such a great job shooting it with almost no context for what it was going to look like (you'd really think we had blocked it out beforehand!) In the end, we received so many compliments on the photos and videos, and our families and friends were extremely eager to get prints made and post the pictures everywhere. From the photos, you would have no idea we got married in the cafeteria of an aquarium, they came out looking "like a fairytale."

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Chris made the entire process so easy for us. We are not big on posing for pictures, we both would much rather enjoy the moment and be with people we love and from the very beginning Chris was great at helping us to achieve this. We officially met Chris about a year out from our wedding at our engagement session and we had the best time and the pictures were incredible. He guided us through the next steps with the wedding and prepped us for everything. I am not much of a planner so this was so appreciated. Our wedding day went so so smoothly and the pictures just helped recapture the love and fun we felt that day. We couldn't be more grateful to him for catching all of these moments so we can feel the same way we did on our wedding day everytime we look at them.

Hi there! I'm Nia, a wedding and elopement photographer based in Boston, MA but obsessed with traveling. I love the days when I stumble upon a new landscape, learn something new from a stranger or aimlessly drive until I end up somewhere decent. This is why I love storytelling. My favorite stories to tell are by far the love shared between two people. Storytelling and making a moment last is what drew me to photography. Documenting your day in an honest, soulful way that shows who you are is what I strive for.
