It was such a please to work the Andre! He was our second photographer because we didn’t click with our first one. I’m beyond happy I decided to switch. He answered every question and/or concern quickly. He was fun to work with and a lot of laughs were had from our engagement shoot to our wedding day. Even with the laughs, he was professional and captured every moment perfectly. 11/10 recommend!

Let me preserve your special moments through photography, while you enjoy your day worry free, knowing that I have it covered.

Dani T Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,550
  • Serves Manchester, 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.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer than Dani for our engagement and wedding photos! From the very beginning, Dani was an absolute joy to work with. For our engagement shoot, we had planned to travel to New York, and of course, it turned out to be one of the coldest, snowiest days in March. Despite the freezing temperatures, Dani was so brave and enthusiastic—she took us outside in the snow to capture the most stunning photos. We were shivering, but Dani made sure to capture every perfect moment, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing. When it came time for our wedding, Dani did not disappoint. Every single photo was breathtaking, and you could tell she put so much care and attention into editing each one. We felt like the photos truly captured the essence of our day and our love for each other. Dani’s talent and dedication are clear in every shot, and we're so grateful for the memories she's helped us preserve. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also warm and easy to work with, Dani is the one. Highly recommend!

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.

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.

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.

We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!

I highly recommend this company to take photos at your wedding! We loved our photographer Percy. He was incredible, and so helpful. He came with several cameras and valued all of our ideas, and when we became stumped he offered ideas for us to try as well. He was very professional, kind, caring, and always on top of the game taking photos. Towards the end of our night he started to put the camera away and brought it back out to catch a few final moments. He was on top of responding to all questions before, during, and after. He took photos of me and my husband before the ceremony and got some wonderful shots (it was a 95 outside wedding so this was much appreciated because we all had some sweat on our faces). But before we got Percy and our booking process with eivans it was super simple, and just an overall great experience.

Hello there!! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic photo and video, and mix in-the-moment candids with editorial portraits (usually with flash photos!) Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or an elegant celebration at an estate, I'm here for it.

Awarded Best of Zola
From our very first call, I just knew Juliette was our photographer! She’s so down-to-earth and kind, and she immediately made us feel so comfortable—like we were working with an old friend. She’s insanely talented (seriously, her work speaks for itself), but it’s her warmth and energy that make her truly special. The second she and her husband showed up for our wedding weekend, we knew we made the right choice. They’re just such genuinely kind people, and everyone in our family and wedding party were impressed and loved them immediately (without even seeing a photo). Juliette wasn’t just our photographer—she became such an important part of the day. I honestly can’t imagine our wedding without them. To give you an idea of just how incredible Juliette is: my sister got engaged a month after our wedding hired Juliette immediately. My mom literally said, “We already love Juliette, why would you even look for anyone else?”. If that doesn’t say it all, I don’t know what does. We weren’t looking for a full wedding video, just something simple to capture our vows and speeches. Juliette put together a custom package that fit exactly what we wanted, and she still managed to go above and beyond. She just gets it, and somehow manages to exceed every expectation. What really sets Juliette apart is that she goes beyond simple wedding photography—she tells a story with her work. Sure, you can hire someone for 2-3k, but you will not get the high-quality, gorgeous, editorial photos that Juliette delivers (sorry!!!!). Her photos are next-level—every single shot feels thoughtful, stunning, and so full of life. Juliette is worth every single penny and then some. I cannot recommend her enough—she is such a gem, and I am honored that she captured my wedding.

So, when my Husband and I got Engaged, we called Eddie right away hoping he would be available for 1 of our 2 desired dates. Luckily, he was and there is no doubt he was a key component in making our Wedding the magnificent day it was. From the gorgeous Engagement photos, communication in-between and through the Wedding Day, Eddie was knowledgeable, creative and made our photography experience smooth and easy. Eddie considered all our requests and inquiries on types of photo documentation and was always available within 24 hours either by phone, text or email.

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.

As two film/media people, we were fairly exacting in finding our wedding photographer. Because of Celia's incredible documentary background and the color, energetic joy and intimacy of her work, she immediately rocketed to the top of our list. Our communication was personal and engaging from the jump, and when we met for engagement photos we immediately clicked - Celia is "my people" and we knew we'd be in good hands on our wedding day. Every interaction we had with Celia was just tops. Talent, sure. That goes without saying, but even more than that, Celia and her second shooter Sarah brought incredible energy to our day - full of curiosity and humor. They were patient, focused, and such a well oiled machine. Every image was true and unique and magnificent and alive. The photos are so dynamic and capture the essence of the relationships (ours and others) throughout the day and the uniqueness of the light, warmth and uh, overwhelming number of guests. We received a boatload of astounding images and were just thrilled to have worked with such a tremendous professional and artist. If you want a joyful professional with a careful eye to capture your day from teary prep to the middle of the dance floor - go with The Lovely Lens! Ten stars out of five.

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!

I was the maid-of-honor in two weddings who had Michelle as their photographer and 4 years later I knew that I wanted her as mine. She is an amazing person to work with, extremely helpful throughout the entire process, and a super talented photographer. She listened to my special requests and accommodated my very large bridal party perfectly in photos. She also isn’t afraid to take a quick detour to capture beautiful scenic photos! My husband and I felt extremely comfortable with Michelle and Allison which is super important since the photographer is the one vendor you are with for the entire day. Hiring Michelle was the easiest decision we had to make during our wedding planning!

After our first photographer fell through, we found Caz and luckily he happened to be available on our wedding date. From the very first contact, he was incredibly responsive (super important to us), friendly and professional. His work looked great so we were excited - then we found out he was featured in Vogue! We were stoked. He was amazing to work with on the wedding day - punctual, friendly, got all the requested shots, and the whole bridal party loved him. We got our pictures back today - and they’re so much better than we could have dreamed of. It’s no wonder he was featured in Vogue - his work is artistic, candid, and beautiful. Thank you Caz for giving us such beautiful memories so we can relive the best day of our lives.
