I was lucky enough to find Julie through a friend. I was so nervous about what hairstyle I was going to go with because I’m a sweater, but Julie assured me all would be well and wow was it! I had my hair down with waves, bangs pulled back. After pictures, ceremony, reception and after party (12 hours) my hair was still perfect!! Robin did my make up and listened to everything I asked for, again absolutely KILLING it!! I couldn’t ask for a better team to do my glam! I also love how real they are, staying in touch through social after my wedding. Thank you so much for helping my dream come true!

Leo of Story Alley is a wedding photographer based in NY. I have been photographing weddings for over 10 years and feel so fortunate to witness the love shared between my couples as they celebrate their marriage. We pride ourselves on being storytellers documenting timeless, raw human connections. Our specialization lies in turning perfectly imperfect weddings into fun memories

I recently had the pleasure of working with Leo for my wedding, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From the initial planning stages to the delivery of our beautiful wedding album, Leo demonstrated a perfect balance of fun and professionalism. When I came across his website, I reached out. I love that Leo's response was professional, yet so friendly and casual. He made the planning process so easy. He was not only responsive and organized but also went above and beyond to help us with the details. Our plans changed daily leading up to the wedding date, and he was completely flexible and supportive of our plan at every turn. Our first meeting went really well, and the prices were fair, so we booked him right away. When he showed up on our wedding day, I felt comfortable right away. It felt like having a friend who was also taking pictures of our wedding day. We had a lot of fun with him! I just got our photo gallery and am very happy with the pictures. All our friends and family love the photos too!

Wild Elegance 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

Elizabeth Russell Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

I began my photography career over 15 years ago as a photographer for a Natural History Museum. There I learned to be versatile and to shoot anything from galleries, portraits, events to fossils and fieldwork. Just like the museum, weddings also call for a versatile photographer to catch great details, ceremony and reception spaces, portraits and events. But with my wedding photography, I push for more. Inspired by photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson, I follow the light and seek decisive moments—emotion and reactions.

Liz photographed our wedding this spring and we’re absolutely obsessed with the photos. She captured so many sweet organic moments of our love and with our guests, and she has such a great eye for color. Our wedding was bright and colorful out in nature, and everything just pops so well in the photos while still looking really natural. Liz was so kind and helpful and easy to work with the whole time. Highly recommend working with her for your wedding!

Choosing Tara Gervacio Beauty was my second easiest ”YES” to make!! Tara and her team are truly amazing and will make you feel like an absolute rockstar on your big day!

Hechler Photographers 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Paterson, NJ

“Photography takes a moment out of life…and holds it still” A small collection of photographers who strive to capture the emotion and energy of life’s significant moments in a sophisticated yet understated light hearted way.

My husband and I cannot thank Hechler Photographers enough for everything. It was such a joy shooting with Julio for our engagement shoot in downtown Manhattan and our Rehearsal Dinner at the Union League Club in NYC, and we loved shooting with Julio, David, and John (the videographer) on our wedding day that took place on May 18, 2024 at the Metropolitan Club in NYC. From the moment we met David (recommended by our amazing planner, Jeff Stillwell of Stillwell Events), we knew it was a wonderful match. David is extremely professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and an amazing listener. When David referenced notes from our very first conversation a year and a half later (just a little under a month from our wedding), I was beyond impressed and truly touched. We greatly appreciate how David, Julio, and John were all able to quickly respond in the moment and pivot as needed, whether it was to ensure my hair could be touched up to stay perfectly in place or that we could have time to relax before key moments (e.g., the ceremony). As an incredibly detail-oriented bride, I am so grateful for all the attention to detail that was demonstrated from the beginning of our wedding day to the end of the evening. David, Julio, and John managed to strike the perfect balance of making their presence known, while blending in perfectly (one of my friends had commented that most photographers & videographers she had seen at weddings were so loud and even disruptive). Not this team!!!! I will also be forever grateful for all the encouragement and helpful tips and pointers/direction that David and Julio provided throughout Friday and Saturday to make sure that everyone looked and felt their best while remaining confident in being themselves. I still have Julio’s voice in my head saying, “Work it!” I am so grateful that David and Julio were able to capture all the photos and videos on my extensive shot list, and then some!! My husband, our families, and I cannot wait to see these photos and videos - if the engagement shoot photos are any indication of what's to come, these photos and videos are going to be absolutely magnificent. David, Arthur, Julio, and Casey, thank you for everything! It has been such a pleasure working with you all. This past weekend felt like heaven on earth, and I’m so glad we chose you all to capture these memories we will cherish forever and ever. -Nicole & Kyle May 18, 2024

I was voted Friendliest in high school (very proud of that fact), and I genuinely love what I do. I cry at every wedding, and I usually cry again when I'm editing your photos. I used to be an actor on Broadway and TV, and I think that makes me a stickler for making sure your photos are authentic and believable. (And I will help you get there!) I'm married to a wonderful man, so I've been through the wedding planning from the other side (ahh!), and we have an adorable little dog. :)

David is an absolute gem! For two people who hate having their pictures taken, my husband and I had a blast working with David. He makes the whole process so fun and exciting.

We have HUNDREDS of photos that we are absolutely over the moon about. She is so creative, has a unique perspective, and catches the exact right shot every single time. My husband and I, our family, and our friends are in awe of the beauty she captured. We would recommend Aly 100x over and will absolutely use her in the future. I am so glad and grateful for the opportunity to work with her. We only wished we had worked with her for our wedding!

We had the pleasure of hiring a documentary-style wedding photographer for our special day, and I couldn't be happier with the results. Their ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions was truly remarkable. The photos tell a story that goes beyond posed shots, giving us a vivid and authentic memory of our wedding. Their attention to detail is impeccable, and they have a keen eye for capturing the little moments that often go unnoticed. From the laughter shared between guests to the heartfelt glances exchanged during the ceremony, every emotion was beautifully documented. Not only did they capture the essence of the day, but they did so with a level of professionalism and discretion that put everyone at ease. They seamlessly blended into the background, allowing for natural interactions and genuine expressions to shine through. Their post-processing work enhanced the photos without veering into heavy editing, maintaining the genuine feel of the day. The color palettes and tones used in the final edits were tastefully done, adding to the overall storytelling. We wholeheartedly recommend this photographer to anyone seeking more than just pictures – they deliver an emotional journey through their lens. If you're looking for a wedding photographer who can capture the true essence of your day, this documentary-style photographer is an absolute must.

Intan did a glamorous updo using my natural curl and helped me achieve the vague vision I had using inspiration photos. I also wear minimal makeup in daily life but Intan was able to make me look like an elevated version of myself on my wedding day. She mixed a special lip color and placed individual lashes all to make sure my vision was achieved! Highly recommend.

Hi! I'm Meghan. I've had a love for photography since my parents bought me my first camera for Christmas in 2001. I took pictures of anyone and anything that sat still for more than .03 seconds. The more pictures I took, the more I loved it. It became a passion of mine, but it wasn't until later that I had the dream of starting my own business. In the meantime, I teach middle school - 7th grade Language Arts to be exact. Yes, it's exactly as crazy as you're imagining, likely even more so. Teaching has taught me two things: patience and how to laugh at myself.

There aren’t enough words to describe how amazing a photographer Meghan is. We unfortunately, did not have such a great wedding photographer the first time and had to completely “remake” our wedding ceremony photos almost a year later. It was one of the most stressful things to encounter, however, Meghan totally stepped in and saved the day. From her bubbly and fun personality, to her professionalism and unwavering support of us and our wedding party, she took away all the stresses that came with having to re-do our wedding photos. We never worried if she was getting the right pictures or our vibe as a couple and she honestly made it EXTREMELY fun taking all our pictures. We had our ceremony and reception broken into two different events, unfortunately due to covid and we loved her so much we hired her for our reception as well! Not only did she capture photograph’s that will last a life time, but we really felt like we made a life long friendship with her. We cannot recommend her enough and if you are still wondering if you should reach out, please do!

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

We received all of our photos back and couldn't believe how beautiful they are! We love them all and it was so hard to pick what ones went in our album. Every single part of our day was captured so perfectly. We get to relive the day every time we look at them! Alex made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. I highly recommend an engagement session as well- this was great practice and a lovely chance to get to know Alex. Extra perk- great pics for our save the dates! Alex was also just a huge help throughout the entire day. If she is not photographing you, she is behind the scenes assisting to make sure every detail is perfect. She goes above and beyond her role. She's just the best person and photographer! We had the best time working with her and will recommend her over and over again to our friends.

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.

My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

Brea Warren Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Brea's photos that were romantic and whimsical, and it put us at ease and made the entire process so enjoyable. Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

Laura is wonderful to work with! Laura's style of photography is what had originally drawn us to her; her ability to capture candid moments and how she always seems to get the perfect lighting! The photos she took completely captured the overall warm and loving vibe of our wedding. She must be some sort of magician... or just the best possible wedding photographer... Booking her was easy. She was easy to get in touch with and was always prompt to respond. I'm glad we booked her early to lock in our date. She is a very popular photographer and she books up fast! We met Laura before our wedding to go over the details of the venue and timeline of the night. She is a pro so she can make any venue, even the warehouse we booked, look bright and not dark and dingy. Day of, Laura came happy and ready to shoot. Our portraits with parents and the bridal party were not only beautiful, taken in a field, but also super fun! Laura knows how to make you feel good about yourself when she's shooting you! She was also making jokes which helped make us all comfortable. The ceremony and reception pictures were just breathtaking! She captured how funny our officiant was, our special "I do" moment and of course our first kiss as husband and wife! During our reception, we had circus performers lead the guests in hula hooping and juggling... Laura was able to get some amazing action shots on the fly! Overall, Laura is the absolute best. She was the perfect photographer for our special day and I cannot imagine having someone else in her place! She is so talented, sweet, punctual and professional; all things you want and need in a photographer! We love her and will be hiring her in the future for family portraits!

Kathi brings to wedding photography her artistic vision, and creates evocative images of your event. Her coverage tells the story of the day with truth, style, emotion and attention to details. Eloquent visual narratives are primarily candids, complemented by formals, still lifes, and scenics in both black & white and color.

Kathi was very professional. She talked with use beforehand about what kind of pictures we wanted and also gave us some great ideas about picture ideas we didn't think of. Her knowledge and experience really came in handy as we had a time crunch for pictures. The pictures came out beautiful and it was easy to access them digitally as well as order the prints we wanted.
