Hey there! I’m Kelsey, a wedding, engagement, and couples photographer based out of upstate New York. I live in Sidney, NY with my husband and our five cats (we love all the animals.) When I'm not behind the camera, I love cooking, calligraphy, graphic design, and traveling.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the very first meeting, Kelsey made us feel comfortable and understood our vision perfectly. She helped us with our engagement photos, creating the day of timeline, and helped the wedding day stay on time and be organized! The attention to detail was incredible – from candid shots of our guests enjoying themselves to beautiful portraits that truly captured the essence of our love story. The final gallery exceeded our expectations; every photo was a work of art! Kelsey managed to capture the joy and emotion of the day, not a single detail was missed and our gallery allows us to relieve the entire day! If you're looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, dedicated, and has a genuine passion for their craft, look no further! We can't thank Kelsey enough for the beautiful memories she’s given us. Highly recommend!

  • Serves Hector, NY

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.

Celia is not your typical wedding photographer -- not even close. She is so much more! She's a documentarian, artist, journalist, and storyteller, and that is exactly why working with her was one of the best decisions we made for the best day of our lives! My husband and I wanted a photographer who would prioritize candid photos of genuine emotions and chaos (let's be honest, weddings are chaotic!) as opposed to staged and rigid "everyone-line-up-and-smile" portraits. The Lovely Lens fit that bill entirely. In addition to delivering the most beautiful, vibrant, happy, REAL photos of our wedding weekend, she was also such a lovely presence the whole time (I felt like she was a genuine friend by the end!) Also, she was totally game for everything! Our wedding got a late start thanks to the weather, which squished the time we'd allotted for photos exponentially (we also decided not to have a first look, so the photo time was even more squished). Celia quite literally sprinted through a field of wet grass and mud and then through a secret corridor with us as we rushed to get back to our cocktail hour to be present at our wedding. She is a superhero, and we cannot recommend her enough!

Hello, my name is Julia, I am a wedding photographer with more than 8 years of experience in wedding photography. I appreciate being able to preserve a love that will grow over the years. I will be happy to capture a special moment on your special day. With pleasure and enthusiasm, I am always ready for new adventures & challenges.

Awarded Best of Zola
Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

We are so glad we found Hayley! We were looking for photos that didn't look forced and when we saw her website we knew we had our photographer. Not only is she a great communicator and absolute professional, but she's also kind and down to earth. During the wedding day we mostly didn't even notice she was there, which was great and gives a real documentary feel for our album. Everyone loved her, she even got my grumpy dad to laugh. We've got gorgeous magazine worthy photos to look back on for a lifetime, we cannot thank her enough. Hire Hayley!

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Kayla French Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos. We would highly recommend Kayla French Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Allison Usavage Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Hector, NY

As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I help couples tell their honest and joyful stories. And honestly, you don’t need someone directing you– you’re more beautiful when you’re just being you. I firmly believe you should spend your wedding day focused on yourself, your partner, and your celebration– not the camera.

I can’t say enough good things about Allison!! She photographed our tiny 12-person pandemic wedding and was the only vendor we had for the day. She was beyond professional, so easy to work with, and really helped make our day feel special. She had great ideas about setting up our ceremony that we would have never thought of on our own (like where exactly to stand for vows, etc.). She made us all feel super comfortable in front of the camera and our families loved having her around. Best of all - the photos. Wow. Everyone who sees them says they can just feel the love radiating out of them. What a special memento of our wedding day. She captured the feeling of the day perfectly, and balanced a documentary style (non-invasively capturing sweet moments as they happened) plus really nice staged family pics that our moms loved and have already made the holiday cards! I can’t recommend Allison highly enough.

Claire Teator Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Hector, NY

I'm a wedding & lifestyle photographer currently living in upstate New York and serving the greater tri-state area. I love photographing special moments between people and exploring new places, it's that simple. I'm also a huge yarn nerd, iced coffee addict and a lover of all things the color red. Let's connect - I'd love to hear from you!

Claire was amazing!! She is so sweet and personable, right from the very first email exchange. Her rates are very reasonable and transparent, and she even helped us customize a package that worked best for our wedding. We had two pre-wedding sessions to go over the details, list of photos needed, and all the logistics, and she was very accessible via email throughout the process. She emailed me two days before the wedding letting me know that she had scoped out the venue and the surrounding area to find good photo spots, which made the day of so much smoother. We did our formal photos before the ceremony, and she corralled the family and wedding party professionally and kindly. She kept our spirits up and she wasted no time. Her assistant was also very professional and friendly, and they collaborated so well to get maximum photos at every angle. Claire made sure we had plenty of time for just the grooms, various locations and poses, and we got to have fun and create some really unique shots! During the ceremony I didn't even register that she was in the room, and yet we have beautiful photos of the entire thing, so she did a great job of staying out of the way while also getting all of the important shots! Throughout the cocktail hour and reception Claire and her assistant split off to maximize coverage, but I felt that one of them was always close by for a good shot. They also pulled us to the balcony to catch some beautiful shots at sunset, and those were absolutely worth it! Throughout the evening, if I found myself dancing or talking with someone I hadn't gotten a picture with yet, I could easily gesture or call to them to get our picture, and they also got plenty of other action shots. We received a "sneak peek" of about 50 photos within 24 hours of our event, and the full set of photos within 2 months. She gave us the time we needed to finalize our photo album, and had it published very quickly. We are so glad we chose Claire, she captured our day perfectly and was such a pleasure to work with.

Glad you're here! I am committed to authentic storytelling, candid moments and fostering amazing relationships with my clients. It doesn't matter to me if you're getting married in your backyard, or in a ballroom- all weddings are beautiful to me.

I wanted a photographer that would capture the authentic joy of our wedding day and Anna was the perfect choice! Our photos are so beautiful and looking at them instantly takes me back to how I felt on our wedding day. We had both blazing hot sun and rain during our wedding, and the photos from both are equally gorgeous. Anna was easy to work with and was very knowledgeable on how to schedule photos throughout the day. I am so grateful to have such beautiful pictures that I can treasure for years to come!

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

Edgar is the best! He was fun to be around and up for anything. He traveled hours to meet us and even went on a pretty buggy/muddy hike to capture the most incredible photos. We are both so awkward in front of a camera and he immediately made us comfortable - such an important skillset! We can't wait to see him again next June for our wedding, and have so much faith that he will hit it out of the park again!

️️️️️ Choosing Drzazga Photo for our wedding was hands down the BEST decision we made while planning. Since getting our gallery back, we are still getting compliments on how gorgeous and unique our photos turned out. When we met Carly during our engagement session we knew right away that she and Kasey would make us feel comfortable and would be the perfect pair to capture such an important day in our lives. We loved our engagement pictures so much we used them for everything (bridal shower invitations, wedding invitations, rehearsal dinner invitations and thank you cards). I think we looked at them all 1,000 times. They captured our love for each other and excitement so perfectly. Our wedding gallery was like looking at pictures from a fairytale. Our getting ready pictures, portraits, ceremony and reception photos are beautiful. They captured gorgeous pictures of us, but also of our family and friends whom we shared such an important day with. I love thinking about how someday these pictures will be shared with our own children, grandchildren and family. Weeks after our wedding we decided to become puppy parents to an adorable Cavapoo named Teddy. The Drzazga’s have captured such sweet moments of our love story this year. We couldn’t think of a better way to end it than a trip to Cleveland in November for a holiday mini session at their studio, with of course the newest addition to our family, Teddy. Thank you Carly and Kasey for capturing all of the sweet moments of this amazing year. You are truly the best of the best. Love, The Rishers

Hiiiii! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic imagery and video, and lead with a documentary approach, mixed with editorial aesthetic (usually for direct flash portraits, which are my favorite). Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or a grand celebration at an estate, I'm here for it. Upstate New York is my home base, but I love to travel. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, getting coffee with my husband, Teddy, or drawing in my sketchbook.

Awarded Best of Zola
Photography and videography were one of the most important vendors to me while planning my wedding. Booking with Juliette was one of the best decisions I made about my wedding (coming from a very lucky bride who had a 10/10 perfect wedding day). She is so incredibly talented and her work is both professional in quality and personally unique in style. Working with her and her husband Teddy was so comfortable and felt like I was talking to old friends every time we’d check in by FaceTime or worked together in person. She worked with me even with my busy work schedule and is the best for setting up packages that highlight everything you want on your big day and doesn’t force/pressure the things you don’t feel you need/want. She also helps to plan out a reasonable payment plan schedule that made making payments so much less stressful over several months leading up to the wedding. I am so thankful to her for making this part of my wedding less stressful and capturing so many beautiful moments. I could write a book with all the nice things I have to say, highly recommend for any/all occasions! The absolute best!

Xenia is the sweetest person to work with. I had an unfortunately timed surgery last year that threw off all our planning and she was very patient with me as we tried to figure out our wedding date and when we could take engagement photos. We are so glad it all worked out because our engagement photos are a dream. Our wedding was a few days ago, and our wedding was shot by Xenia and a videographer we booked with her as well, and the day went so smoothly. No wedding planner or coordinator, but they were there to keep us going and answer questions if we needed help. Highly highly recommend.

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
TLDR: If you want photos that capture the true, vibrant goodness of your day then book Nicole! She is a consummate professional who can help even the most camera-shy (or averse) relax in front of the lens. The Deets: My husband and I loved working with Nicole from the very start! She was consistently kind, professional and punctual. Communication was easy and efficient! She made us feel like we were in such good hands. Since my husband is camera-averse, it was important for us to find someone who could make the process fun and relaxed. From the first minute of our engagement shoot Nicole made it clear that we were in the right hands! There was no pressure to “perform” and she just gave us little directives as we needed them. The mix of conversation and photo-taking was perfect to put even my husband at ease. Our wedding day continued the good vibes! Nicole and her second shooter were right on time and proceeded to be a dynamic duo. I had quite the laundry-list of portraits and they tackled them with ease. Where Nicole truly shines is in the unposed, natural moments of the day. She captured the mushy-lovey fun and tears all day, making sure to get those little moments of magic in between. Nicole worked seamlessly with my videographer as well. The two of them were less concerned about the rain of the day and more so with our comfort shooting in it. We were game and they both made that rain look like a paid actor! Nicole's photos beautifully reflect the syrupy rich colors I remember, grounding my experience of the wedding day. I can't thank her enough for reflecting the truth of our day so perfectly. Venue: Full Moon Resort, the Catskills (NY) Photo Package: 8-hrs with second shooter

Lindsay is absolutely the best, from first connecting with her she has always kept great communication and always answers timely. We scheduled our engagement shoot and it happened to be a rainy day. Lindsay traveled hours to make sure she was there for us and despite the rain and conditions she made everything about the shoot amazing and fun, and worked her magic to make sure we got as many beautiful pictures and poses as we can even with the rain. She exceeded our expectations not only with the our photos but also receiving our full online album so fast to help us get our save the dates out quicker. We can’t wait to have Lindsay photograph and video our wedding. To be able to work with someone like Lindsay is such a relief she is truly the best not only at what she does but she is reliable, trustworthy, hardworking and dedicated to putting her full time and effort into her clients!

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.

Hey! I'm Jess, the owner of the company that's named after me - shocking, right? I'm from the suburbs of Philly but now live up in the mountains of Northeast PA in Montrose, right on the border of Central NY. I'm married to a woodworker (who HAD to be the inspiration behind Ron Swanson because they're the same human), we live on 25 acres with three huge dogs (2 Golden Retrievers and one Great Pyrenees) and three ducks - and I'm constantly begging for more animals. I'm outgoing, sarcastic & humorous, and I love organization/cleaning, sushi, reading, The Office, and traveling everywhere I can.

Jess is a master of her craft and we could not imagine having chosen anyone else to capture our wedding day. Working with Jess is like working with a close friend — she immediately made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, helping us pose (and making us laugh) for shots that truly blow our minds and fill our hearts. She expertly captured our individual personalities and dynamic as a couple, the vibrant color of our event, and the energy and happiness that filled the room. We are indescribably happy and grateful to have worked with such a talented, thoughtful, hilarious, and creative human to make the memories of our wedding day last forever in her incredible photographs.

We worked with Kathryn for our October 2024 Hindu/Jewish blended wedding and were so happy with our decision!! We spoke with MANY photographers during the planning process trying to decide who fit our style and personality leading up to our wedding. Neither of us feel super comfortable in front of the camera so it was important to us that we found someone who truly fit us and what we were looking for. Kathryn's warmth, adventurous spirit, and genuine curiosity about us as a couple really stood out, and we immediately knew she was who we wanted to work with. We had a large wedding with many Hindu/Jewish traditions making the day busy & hectic, but Kathryn's professionalism and calm attitude made us feel at ease. We really appreciated how on top of it she was, sticking to our timeline and facilitating our rather large (and rowdy!) group, all while making the staged photos seamless and the candids from the reception/baraat so special and a true representation our special day. The colors are just magnificent, and we had many guests compliment her work, fun nature, and professionalism throughout the night. Thank you Kathryn for making our day so wonderful!!

Hi I'm Hannah and I'm from tiny fishing village in Cornwall, England but moved here to North Carolina in 2017. Fun fact, they actually filmed some of scenes for the Game of Thrones spin off, House of the dragon there! It's hard to pick favorites but if your wedding includes a dog in the bridal party, a dress with pockets and the cupid shuffle....COUNT ME IN! Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

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. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

I started working as a photographer because I'm passionate about helping people showcase who they are and what they have to offer. I work to remove myself from the equation and let my clients take the spotlight. It's thrilling to jump into a session and come out on the other side having learned beautiful new things about a person. When behind the camera I'm coaching you ever step of the way - helping you feel comfortable enough to let your true self emerge.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer to join us on this incredibly special day. Michael was calm, funny, and thoughtful the whole day and yet he was sharply on task — keeping us on time (to the literal minute) and making sure every last photo we wanted, and then some, were captured. But it went beyond the day itself. Michael scoped out our venue months ahead to be prepared, he was in constant touch with us on the weekend of, and his wife Kara joined us on the day to make sure everything and everyone was accounted for. I HATE having my photo taken and he made it painless and even fun. With no hesitation, work with Michael! PS: Ask him about his Elmo voice. :)

Hi! It's so nice to meet you! I'm a Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York Photographer from Scranton, Pa. I began my journey as a wedding musician, playing in countless bands in Pennsylvania. It wasn't until the birth of my son that I was thrust into the world of photography. As soon as I snapped my first photo of him, I found the beauty of photography. I quickly noticed the parallels between the music I create and the photos I was taking. The balance between light and dark, joy and sadness, bold and muted, energetic and relaxed intrigued me and drove me to this passion.

From our initial consultation, his communication style was clear, professional, easy going, and warm, making us feel at ease throughout the entire process. He made sure he really understood exactly what we wanted. He also made sure to stay in contact and periodically check on us throughout the planning period. He was incredibly flexible, ensuring we got exactly the type of photos we envisioned for our special day, even willing to work in the surprise rain. Eric went above and beyond, delivering beautiful, high-quality images that captured all our special moments. After receiving the initial sample he sent us, he promptly made the color adjustments we requested to perfectly match our vision. We are thrilled with the end result and would highly recommend Eric to any couple looking for an excellent wedding photography experience.
