I worked with Prime Star Visuals in September 2021 at a yacht wedding where they were the photographer and I was the videographer. David and his team was very friendly and fun to work with. I like the way they posed the couple and set up lighting, because of that I got great video footage. Later I followed them on instagram and really enjoyed their style and artistry. Hope to work together again!

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.

Jenna Salvagin Photography

Warwick, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

When I’m not photographing freaking awesome people, you can find me sitting on the couch in my husband's pajama pants, drinking coffee, snuggling my pets, and editing. Coffee and snuggles are my two primary love languages. My favorite Netflix binges are The Office, Shameless, and Friday Night Lights. Clear eyes, full heart. Speed date: I’m obsessed with Vermont, avocados, dark chocolate, and cats. Pinterest is only my friend for recipes. My favorite fair food is fried dough but I’m allergic to it - what kind of cruel joke is that? I didn’t study photography in college (gasp), but I did study music, and that kind of relates...right?

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!!!!

We’re Hudson Valley wedding photographers that want to see you at your happiest. Every love story is unique, and we want to make sure yours is captured naturally and exactly as you want to remember it. Let us make your wedding photography experience comfortable, relaxed and beautiful.

Megan and Kenneth have been our go-to photographers for many moments of our relationship -- because they're so good that we keep coming back!!! Years before we got married, they photographed us in a staged shoot and made such an impression that we hired them 2 years later for our engagement and wedding. The photos they capture bring out so much more than the obvious beauty of the moment. Somehow, they evoke emotion so effortlessly. The only time you remember they are even photographing you is when they are complimenting you & hyping you up. What I love even more is that they pop over to show you how good you look on camera. There is no time to feel self-conscious when they are behind the camera because they make sure you feel as good as you look. Some of our favorite things about them include: There are two of them!!! Which means more perspective and better shots. They have such an insane eye for detail and creative vision. You can just focus on being present, knowing they’ve got it handled. can't stress this enough: the hype. They make you feel like the main character of your life. The finished product!! They can walk the walk. Their photos are just stunning. Their editing style feels natural and vibrant but also tailored to the couple they photograph. Their generosity. They feel like more than photographers in the room. They become your friends and your cheerleaders. Never in a million years would I have imagined that my guests would still be talking about our incredible photographers months after our wedding, but people remember them!! They remember how much fun they are, how kind they are, how freaking cool they look while they're trying to get different angles of the shot. Our wedding will definitely not be the last time we work with them. We can't recommend them more highly. They are indeed the best investment you can make for your day. 100 out of 10.

My name is Julia, and I know all about what you’re going through (wedding planning that is). I am also recently engaged! In case we haven't met before, let me tell you a little bit about myself! My favorite band is Panic! At The Disco, my favorite show in the world right now is Schitt’s Creek, and I have a cat named Cricket, who is my entire world! I am known for my candid, romantic, and artistic photography with a hint of modernity. My ultimate goal is to show the, love, beauty, strength and enthusiasm of people through my photos. I feel so fortunate to be located in the Hudson Valley. It’s truly one of the the best places to get married!

Awarded Best of Zola
There are so many lovely things to be said about Julia. Her photos of our wedding took my breath away! From the first intro call, Julia was pleasant to work with. Talking with her was so easy, like we were already friends with her! Throughout planning, Julia was always responsive, flexible, and made it easy for us to provide the information she would need for the day to run smoothly. She even helped us map out the timeline of the day. My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but her photographing style was very natural and helped put us at ease. Our pictures came out so beautifully – I really feel like they capture organic moments of joy and love between us. I can’t thank Julia enough for the incredible work she did - I know we will cherish these photos for a lifetime!

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 a phenomenal photographer team and we loved working with them for our wedding. They were easy to work with both in preparation for the big day, and on the day itself. They have a special eye that captures moments perfectly, and ties them together to make you feel like you’re watching the day on film (yet it’s all ‘still’ photos). They are artists and masters of their craft. I’m honored and grateful we had the chance to work with both of them. In addition to all of the above, they delivered our photos in a very fast amount of time. We really appreciated that. We opted to purchase an album from them which was an investment we would make over and over again. While they let us help with the design, they truly know best. In my opinion you do not need a videographer if you invest in the right photographer. Bethany and Raquel are THOSE photographers.

Well hello. I'm Kristen, the owner and lead photographer at Little But Fierce Photography. I have been in business since 2016 and have photographed over 200 weddings and elopements in that time and numerous other couples and events. I have my master's degree in photography, gadgets and gizmos a plenty, and am prepared for all situations.

Words truly cannot describe how incredible Kristen is - as a photographer and a person. As soon as we met Kristen for our engagement shoot, we knew she was our photographer… forever! She has such a talent for capturing who you are as a couple in such a natural way. On our wedding day, she went above and beyond from the moment she arrived: making staying on schedule feel effortless, making sure that my complicated dress was entirely zipped and buttoned, pinning boutonnieres, fixing hair pieces, ensuring that the ceremony was set up perfectly- and, most of all, making everyone feel so comfortable and at home. I truly felt as though I had my very good friend with me all day. During our reception, she had a sneak preview of photos rotating on her tablet - everyone was absolutely floored by how amazing her photos were and by how quickly she was able to make that happen. When she could have been taking a break, she took the opportunity to get us outside when it wasn’t raining to take some amazing intimate pictures in front of the venue with lanterns that she had brought herself (and that we absolutely loved!) Then, the next day, we received a sneak preview of 40 photos that had us in happy tears! Kristen’s incredible work ethic is matched by her personal touch. It’s her ability to build a relationship that is absolutely amazing. She has a warmth and a kind spirit that is instantly felt by everyone. Again, going above and beyond, she sent us a gift package when we signed our contract, and a beautiful and very thoughtful year-end gift that we will treasure forever. We love Kristen, and we can’t wait to work with her again! Hiring Kristen will be the best vendor decision you will make :)

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

My wife and I met Sarah a few years ago when she photographed our friend’s wedding. She did such a great job that we had to have her do our wedding as well. My sister is getting married next year and I told her not to bother interviewing any photographers other than Sarah. You will not find anyone who will do a better job. We absolutely love the way our wedding photos came out. Sarah is so creative and has such an artistic eye which made our pictures unique and very cool. She was so awesome to work with. She really cares about her work and her clients and it really shows. In addition to being a great photographer, she is very sweet and genuine. We felt so comfortable with her which makes a huge difference! Not to mention, a photographer that can make you smile and laugh makes for some pretty great pictures! Her communication was clear and quick from the very beginning, which is super important in the wedding planning process. She really listened to what we wanted and what we didn’t want. I could not recommend Sarah more. She went above and beyond all expectations and by the end, we are happy to call her a friend! If you are planning a wedding/event, do yourself a favor and call her!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

Choosing a photographer is always hard, it is even more nerve racking when choosing your wedding photographer. That wasn’t the case when we met and connected with Viviana. Viviana from the start was able to put us at ease and was incredibly welcoming. She was very open and helpful as we navigated the planning process. During the day of our wedding we felt like we were in safe and good hands. We didn’t feel like we had to act a certain way or pose in an inauthentic manner. We felt at ease and like our true selves throughout. Viviana’s approach and warmth helped us be our true selves and embrace the day to its fullest. When we received the photos we were thrilled about how they all came out. We loved that each picture captured a special moment on our special day. Whether that was at our first look, ceremony, or when we hit the dance floor. We included pictures to our friends along with our thank you notes. It was an absolute pleasure to partner with Viviana on our wedding day photography. We highly recommend her and her work for your wedding!

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

I cannot say enough good things about Katie! She was so wonderful to work with, and her work is absolutely STUNNING! I'm totally obsessed with my wedding photos, and how she captured everything that day. She and her assistant Lauren were so lovely and fun! From the first phone call, I knew I had to book with her. We clicked right away, and she gave a rough rundown of how the day would go, which made me feel at ease. It rained the day of my wedding, and at first I was really upset because I'm such a fall girl and I was really looking forward to getting those rich fall colors in my photos. Well, we still took pictures outside and Katie did NOT disappoint! As I said, I'm totally obsessed with my photos, and the ones we got outdoors still captured the fall colors and aesthetic I wanted. All I can say is "WOW!". I highly recommend working with Katie for your wedding!

Hi! We're Jeremiah & Cody. We met working in a music store in 2009 and instantly became like brothers ("Did we just become best friends?" "YUP!"). In 2011, Jeremiah's wife volunteered him to shoot her sister's wedding and he genuinely enjoyed it. So, he began shooting weddings. In 2016, Cody graduated RIT with a Visual Arts degree and was looking for his next move. Luckily for all of us, Jeremiah talked Cody into relocating to the Hudson Valley to help him with his weddings. And here we are! The two of us get really excited to take really cool pictures.

Awarded Best of Zola
We met Jeremiah based off of a recommendation from someone who had not used him and was upset she didn’t. She had told us that her brother had used him and when she compared her photos to his she was sad she had not found him before her wedding. We met him with a lineup of photographers to meet after and we were not even out of the parking lot after meeting him before we decided to cancel all other appointments and book him right then and there. Jeremiah is the kindest soul we have ever encountered— he is genuinely funny, warm and he listens to everything you say.. and remembers it nearly a year later when you meet with him again before the big day! His personality alone makes him a 10/10 to work with and then you see your photos. He airdropped us five photos before the end of the reception and .. wow.. there is no other word but WOW. He sees the wedding in a way you do not.. he catches the REALNESS of the wedding. The love, the way you look at one another- it all just flows with him and Cody. It brings tears to my eyes writing this because he truly makes sure you get to see yourself the way everyone else does. Cody will go above and beyond (literally SCALING hills and climbing through bushes) to ensure you get shots from different perspectives. They both are awesome and I truly wish we could hang out with them on the regular.. that’s how down to earth and fun they are. Please if you’re reading this and deciding to reach out to him just DO IT! You will not be disappointed and his talent is endless. We adore you Jeremiah and Cody and are so thankful that you were part of our day. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything!

Matthew Rigby Photography

Garrison, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500

I am a wedding photographer with 8+ years experience in the business, although my photographic journey began years before that. For as long as I can remember, I have had a passion for travel and landscape photography. Today my wedding photography is deeply influenced by the natural beauty found in the scenery around us, as well as the important moments between a couple. I am also a science and math teacher, and I have a background in Marine Biology. I think one reason I am a good wedding photographer is my keen sense of observation and attention to detail! Whenever I have free time I love to cook and travel with my wife, brew beer, and run.

I 100% recommend booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer! He was in the truest sense the definition of a professional. He has all of the qualities that make a wedding photographer amazing. My wife and I were instantly impressed by his organization and communication. He took the time to get to know us over the phone by asking questions about our lives, our story, and what photo theme we were interested in. He had examples on his website for different styles that made our decisions easier. Prior to the wedding, he had an organized and detailed questionnaire that would ensure the wedding day goes smoothly. He made one of the most essential parts of a wedding (photography) so much less stressful on us. On wedding day, he continued to impress us. His organization, positive attitude, ability to stay structured, but also be flexible to our last minute requests was remarkable. We were able to enjoy part of our cocktail hour thanks to his quick work after the ceremony. One of my favorite qualities about Matthew was his ability to capture special moments and allow the bride and groom private and intimate moments to share on the wedding day during the reception. He pulled us aside to capture the most stunning sunset picture that is one of my favorite pictures and moments together! Later in the night, he reminded us again to have a moment outside of the venue to cherish each other as newlyweds, and yet again, captured incredible moments that I will always remember. The quality and artistic nature of Matthew's photos are exactly what you want on your wedding day. We will have these incredible pictures for years! We can tell that Matthew does wedding photography for the right reasons. He spent so much time with the bride and bridesmaids for the getting ready pictures prior to the event. He captured every important moment during the ceremony. He continued to spend hours at our reception capturing the party atmosphere during dancing, cake cutting, and all of the moments I will be able to remember and relive thanks to his attention to detail and experience as a wedding photographer. One unique feature at the end of the night was he printed and framed a few of the best photos from the night and gave them as gifts to the bride and groom, and parents of the bride and groom. Seeing the photos in person so quickly the night of the wedding and having something to take back with us was remarkable. We cannot recommend Matthew more highly. He is a true professional, and the photographs that he took, edited, and delivered to us for download are flawless! You will not regret for one moment booking Matthew Rigby as your wedding photographer!

I'm a digital & film photographer living in NYC capturing weddings, couples, and life around me. I have a genuine love for creating images you'll look back on that'll always give you butterflies! I approach photography intentionally, and am emotionally driven behind the camera. I’m all about those in-between candids and documenting in the moment, as well as artful posing. I love making genuine connections with people, and the natural friendships that can come from working together! Approaching your wedding photography as an art form is just a small part of why I absolutely love what I do.

Becca was an absolute pleasure to work with! Although we were keeping our nuptials small and casual, I've heard so many horror stories of how stressful planning even a small thing can be. Working with Becca was everything but – from our initial emails, to helping us select the right service, the special day, keeping us up-to-date afterwards, just everything! We're both a little awkward around the camera but Becca and her assistant were so patient and made sure we were comfortable, it was like we had all known each other for decades. She worked some serious witchcraft behind the lens and the results were so stunning. We still gush over these photos every week! I cannot recommend Four Doves Photography Studios enough. We had the most amazing day with our closest friends, and she really captured the spirit of the day (albeit a cold one!) into digital memories. Thank you, Becca!
