We are Codey and Logan! Your husband-and-wife photo and video duo! We are two passionate storytellers who strive to create some kick ass content and have fun while doing it. We live for adventure and love traveling. We are suckers for hopeless romantics and capturing details. being able to photograph and film weddings and elopements in a unique and intimate way is what makes it all worth it. It’s what fuels us. and we are so blessed to be able to take something like photography and film and turn it into something so much more.

Finding Logan and Codey was an honest dream come true. This was one aspect to my wedding I was so nervous about because it’s the only thing you have to look back on when the event is over. I knew I wanted a specific look (given our slightly non-traditional wedding) and they more than delivered it! They both were incredibly professional, super sweet, had amazing suggestions and ideas and had both my husband and I’s jaws on the floor when we got our video and photos back. I can not recommend them enough and if I can help save any bride the hours of research I did to find them, then I will be happy! 10000/10 recommend!

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

My now husband and I cannot stop raving about what a pleasure it was to work with Michael- from our engagement shoot to the big day, he was a true professional while also bringing a calming and positive energy to every shoot. My parents and numerous guests have commented on how friendly he was, putting everyone at ease and capturing memories we will cherish for a lifetime. The photos are exactly what we asked for, and better than we could have wished for. Thank you Michael!!! Mary and Justin

Dani T Photography

  • Serves Ionia, NY

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

Dani is undeniably exceptional. Her work starts weeks/months before wedding day as she makes a point to get to know you, your vision, any pertinent family details and dynamics, and how she can capture not just our day but who you are. My now husband doesn't love being in front of the camera but she made him feel comfortable and at ease. She has a way of blending in perfectly while having a fun and calming presence that was very much needed. Dani's eye is amazing and our photos were romantic, fun, and stunning! We had a very unique wedding at a wildlife museum in update New York where everything was DIY. She noticed every detail and could read the room as well as our DJ. We are so grateful for her for helping us to embrace our special day and giving us memories through her photos that will last the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and include her in your wedding day or any other special moment you want captured. If you are lucky you'll also walk away with a lifelong friend.

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

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

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

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 present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

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!

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.

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

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Michelle was so great to work with! She would respond quickly to my questions and concerns. Even though I am usually uncomfortable in front of the camera, Michelle made me feel more comfortable and got some beautiful shots of moments I didn’t even know she was shooting. I absolutely love the pictures Michelle took, and my husband kept raving about how the photographer she was working with, Alison, was great to work with. She was reassuring during the whole day and made us laugh with her jokes. I am so happy with the way the pictures turned out and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone!

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.

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!

Tooney White Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,590
  • Serves Ionia, NY

I was born and raised in the Philippines but now call Northern California my home. I've been a photographer for over a decade and that journey has made me come to realize that nothing makes me happier than making those behind my lens feel amazing about themselves. My goal is to be so much more than your photographer. I'd love for you to consider me your friend especially because we'll be spending a lot of time together on your wedding day. Trust me to help fix any strands of hair that get in your face, straighten out your outfits, help you pose, and encourage you to enjoy this momentous day.

Tooney is everything you’d want in a photographer. Genuine, professional, communicative, talented, and incredible at candid photos. She photographed our engagement photos, rehearsal dinner, and wedding, and I will be booking her for any future photoshoot needs.

Working with Kristy was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was communicative with the process of wedding planning and was flexible with our schedule. When we told her about our change in our wedding date, Kristy was not only understanding but was also very accommodating… which we appreciated so much! The day of our wedding, Kristy arrived on time (6am!) and was able to capture beautiful sunrise pictures. She was so great with our big crazy family. She was also very flexible when we had to change up our outside venue to inside due to the rain. Kristy even stayed to take cute solo pics of me by the pool. We’re just so happy that Kristy really captured the happiness and fun of our special day. We’re so excited to share these photos and we will treasure them forever. Thank you Kristy! XO!

Kelsey Travis Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,300
  • Serves Ionia, NY

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
You simply MUST hire Kelsey if you're looking for a wedding photographer. In our search, we kept coming across very moody or over-/under-saturated photography styles, which was not our vibe. We came across Kelsey's portfolio and were greeted with vibrant, true-to-life color and we were hooked. Kelsey's also just an incredibly kind and charismatic person — she made us feel at ease on our engagement session, and we got a chance to really connect, which made our wedding day that much more exciting because we felt like we were reuniting with an old friend. Kelsey went above and beyond her duties, like providing us with wedding day timeline guidance and driving one of us over to the venue so we could execute a 'first look.' We can't imagine our wedding day without Kelsey being there! Her photos speak for themselves, but I hope this review gives you the added encouragement to reach out to her, because you'll regret not hiring her for your own wedding
