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

Kathryn did an amazing job photographing our wedding! We had an intimate ceremony on a pier on one of the Finger Lakes. I loved that she arrived at the venue early to scout out scenic spots in the park and caught some great candids of our family. She made it so easy for us -- she was ready with lots of suggestions and ideas for shots to capture after the ceremony. We definitely depended on her expertise and I so appreciated her preparation. You can tell that she is truly invested in your special day! She made us feel at ease, which was especially nice because my husband and I are a little camera shy. She has a great sense of humor and she made us laugh through our photo shoot. I highly recommend Kathryn for your wedding photos. She will make your experience very enjoyable and you will get unique, artistic shots. Thank you, Kathryn!

IF you want a wedding photographer who will instantly become a friend look no further than Meraki Photos Inc. We met Rayleen at the Connecticut Bridal and Wedding Expo and instantly feel in love with the spirit of her work. Rayleen’s eye for detail is amazing. Throw that in with her technical skills, down to earth personality, and professionalism and you have found yourself a true artist. Rayleen will stop at nothing to make sure she captures the most incredible shots, even if that means going outside in freezing cold temperatures or scaling a fence. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple, listen to your vision, and create magic that you didn’t even know you needed. Our fall wedding was the most beautiful day and I am so grateful that we booked with Meraki Photos. The photos from the day are absolutely stunning and capture the real joy and essence of our love. Seriously our friends and family cannot stop raving on how beautifully everything was photographed. We have found a life long photographer in Rayleen. She has been there with us through all our most important moments: engagement photoshoot, wedding day, maternity session, newborn photoshoot and mommy and me photo session. We are looking forward to our daughter’s smash cake session and family Christmas photos this year. We wholeheartedly recommend Meraki Photos Inc to anyone seeking extraordinary photos and an unforgettable experience.

Gemini Sun Creative is an intimate wedding and elopement photographer serving Northern California, NYC, Upstate NY & Philadelphia. Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
After drowning in Zola quotes and estimates, I found Dani online and was immediately drawn to her typeface, website, and company name. She seemed down to earth and photographed all different types of bodies and couples, which was very important to us both. She was quick to jump on a zoom call and we booked her within 20 minutes of talking (and laughing). Dani photographed our wedding (and engagement shoot) in September 2022. While she usually does small elopements, she was so kind as to take on out 125 person wedding – showing up in Vermont for our three day affair (shooting the welcome event, wedding, and Sunday brunch). This girl even jumped on a canoe with my mom to capture our fun Sunday event rafting down the Connecticut River. Dani is extremely professional, organized, and communicative across all platforms (via text, email, and on IG). She had our first round of images from our wedding – I think within 48 hours?!? Dani is dedicated to her craft and just overall an extremely lovely person and was extremely patient with us as I tried to coordinate a wedding from the New Mexican desert while writing a thesis. I feel strongly that she captured everything so beautifully – from the décor, to the venue, to capturing my husband and I in all the emotions – happy tears, calmness, goofyness, sexiness, romanticness – and even obliged my insane request of pulling over and getting some shots in a Victorian Graveyard. Dani is happy to capture whatever you choose to define as romantic, even mossy tombstones in the middle of the woods. Our engagement shots in the city are equally as lovely, despite being a totally different environment. I never once felt self-conscious or aware of myself and just love the love that shines through in each photo. Not only were we so thrilled to have these wonderful photos and memories for the rest of our lives, we are so lucky to also have made a new friend. I received endless compliments on just how lovely the photos were (long exposure images of the milky way with shooting stars – how is that even possible??) and I’m so happy we found Dani and would recommend her to any couple who is looking for photos that are soft, capture the golden hour, and your love. She somehow manages to be timeless without giving you a cookie cutter album of wedding shots. 1000/10 recommend – book Dani to talk about dogs, tattoos, concerts while getting effortlessly beautiful memories of you and your loved ones.

Saratoga Springs, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Rensselaer Falls, NY

Photographing weddings and elopements is a privilege that I do not take lightly. I treat each moment with as much care as if it were my own! While I am happy to take on weddings of any size, I specialize in intimate weddings or engagement sessions where I can embrace a documentary, candid approach. My favorite moments to capture are those quiet, unplanned interactions. I adore the small details. The moments that sometimes get overlooked but often times help tell the story of your wedding day the most. I thrive with couples who aren’t afraid to be silly and embrace the moments as they come as opposed to forcing it.

Sydney is absolutely amazing! She photographed our wedding @ The State Room in Albany on 10/20/23. I woke up to the *at the time* unfortunate news that it was indeed going to rain and we had planned for our photos to be taken outside. BUT Sydney came to me with the best idea of shooting at The Capitol building on the million dollar staircase instead. These photos are the most stunning pictures and I’m honestly kinda glad it did rain because if it hadn’t we probably never would have gotten them. All thanks to Sydney for always thinking of her clients and trying to make their day the least stressed. Through out the whole process of planning the wedding, everything that had to do with Sydney was a breeze. She was so helpful in other ways too through out our wedding day. Fixed my vail about a hundred times, carried my lip gloss for me so I wouldn’t lose it, bustled my dress, and countless more! She is truly so wonderful at what she does and we couldn’t be more happy that we booked her to capture our day. But back to the photos…just simply stunning! I haven’t stopped looking at them since we got our gallery delivered. We received soooo many compliments on how amazing they turned out. She captured our day perfectly and it was so amazing to look at the pictures and relive the best day of our lives. If you are looking into booking Sydney for any of your photography needs, don’t hesitate, just do it.

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!!!!

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 at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

Jaci Berkopec Photography

  • Serves Rensselaer Falls, NY

Hi, I'm Jaci Berkopec! A self portrait of me would include a frozen pizza, caesar salad bag, and a bottle of white wine. But more importantly I am a wedding, lifestyle and adventure elopement photographer based out of NYC. Weddings and elopements are one of my passions because witnessing love and marriage is one of the most beautiful things we can witness. When shooting with me, expect to have tons of fun and lots of laughs because I like to be weird! Life is too short to be normal! I photograph all types of love.

Where to begin? Jaci is the absolute best! Aside from her truly next level incredible talent, she's also a phenomenal human being. We hired Jaci as our wedding photographer in early 2020. When we postponed our original November 2020 wedding date, Jaci was so amazing! She helped us re-book her for our new date and we used the original date to take engagement photos. She had so many ideas & suggestions and we had a blast running around Prospect Park. It was such an amazing and joyful way to commemorate our original date. When we finally got to have our wedding in September 2021, Jaci captured our whole day so beautifully and was also just an amazing energy/presence throughout the day. She worked so beautifully with all of our vendors & was just so helpful in every way. I honestly don't know how she managed to be in every place at once! It took us weeks to go through the photos she sent. Every time we went through the album, we found a brand new gem we missed the first time. I'm pretty sure we still haven't fully discovered every bit of Jaci's magic in those photos! There are so many small moments that I wasn't around for (even the ones I was around for & couldn't remember) and I'm so incredibly grateful to have those photos. The ones of my grandmother looking at the family wedding photos we had on display & realizing that one of them is her's are so perfect that I don't even have words to describe how much they mean to me. Her uncanny ability to capture the candid moments was the reason we initially wanted Jaci to be our photographer but the posed photos are just as incredible. Every single one looks & feels so natural and genuinely captures the emotions of the moment. Jaci is really just the best! That's all there is to say. If you need a photographer for your wedding/engagement/anything, look no further and book Jaci.

Hey there! My partner Emilio and I have been shooting together for over 5 years. I personally shot my first wedding back in 2010! We're an LGBT owned company and we are so so so passionate about making sure everyone feels represented in a sometimes white-washed straight appearing industry, we love inclusivity. Our main goal is you having the best stress-free and FUN wedding photo/video experience.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! If you’re thinking about hiring Natura Collective, then stop thinking and just say yes! Christian and Emilio are out of this world—we’re talking complete creative geniuses. We hired them for our wedding photography, and they also did our engagement shoot. From our initial conversations, we knew these guys were the real deal: funny, compassionate, down to earth, and truly in love with their job. They brought a passion and energy to our wedding day that is honestly indescribable. They captured so many beautiful moments for us, I’m convinced we’re going to need a War and Peace sized photo album to put them in! They captured every moment of our day beautifully: from candid photos of everyone getting ready to close ups of of all of the details to the day to formal group shots and amazing and creative action shots of our dance floor and everything in between. We are a mixed race couple/family, and they knew how to light and capture absolutely everyone beautifully. They are fantastic at their jobs, as they are intuitive and naturally bring out the best in people, which translates into gorgeous, glowing photograph. They are also just great people themselves, which is important since they were such a big party of our day. Getting to know them throughout this process has been its own benefit. From start to finish, they are excellent.

I'm Kara :) I'm an adventurer, risk-taker, traveler, and wedding+ elopement photographer! I know that you're looking for more than just beautiful wedding photos which is why my work with you doesn't start (or end) there. You deserve an expert- somebody who can give you the best advice & industry secrets. I know the ins & outs of weddings because I live them every weekend & know the very real stress that comes with planning a wedding. Hiring me means being able to rest + relax knowing that everything is taken care of; somebody anticipating your needs before you even know them. I'm your hype girl, confidant, & the one to open the dance floor.

Hiring Kara as our wedding photographer was possibly the best decision we made for our wedding. She was incredibly flexible with scheduling, both with our engagement photoshoot (navigating around some rainstorms!) and postponing our wedding date due to the pandemic. On our wedding date, Kara was the life of the party bringing excitement, joy, and a calm presence all at the same time. All of our friends and family have said how wonderful our photographers were and how they have never seen any vendor quite like her. To top it all off, our photos are absolutely incredible and a dream come true. She captured moments on our wedding day that I thought only existed in my memory. I highly recommend booking Kara as your wedding or engagement shoot photographer! I know that I will be booking her again for any of our future life events.

Hiya, I am Vital (pronounces Vee-tal), and I am a 20 something guy with a camera in my hands and a cheerful smile. I have been a wedding photographer since 2016, and every year I fall even more in love with my job. My fiancee and I have a dog and a cat. We love to travel domestically and abroad, and I can't imagine life without photos. I enjoy reading or listening to books, especially novels and biographies. Alpine climbing, backpacking, and road-tripping are among my hobbies too. There is more to my life story on my website :)

My husband and I found Vital's beautiful photography through Instagram. As a photographer myself, finding the perfect photographer to capture our wedding in October was a tough decision. From the minute we contacted Vital he was friendly, professional and knew exactly what he was talking about. Vital's style is artistic and documentary and exactly what we were looking for. As part of our wedding package he included an engagement shoot. My husband and I aren't the best in front of a camera but he made us feel comfortable straight away and we had so much fun! The experience of the shoot was just as great of a memory as the photos we received from it. Having Vital shoot our engagement really put our minds at ease that we choose the right person for our wedding. The photos from our wedding were incredibly important to us and it was nice not worrying about them on our wedding day. Vital delivered close to 500 photos of our wedding which really captured every moment of the day. He even agreed to drive to another location after our reception to capture a few more photos for us, which we are truly grateful for. We are beyond happy with how the photos of our special day turned out. We've had so many compliments from family and friends and would definitely recommend him to other couples!

We're a pair of super fun wedding photographers, filmmakers + elopement planners (also officiants) and we're already your biggest fan <3 Award winning! Multi published! Featured in magazines! Neurodivergent! LGBTQ+! Artistic! Unique! Vintage videos! One-of-a-kind timelapse films! We love working with film + vintage video cameras, capturing little moments others forget about, and creating portraits that would make David Lynch + Alexander McQueen weep with excitement. Contact us anytime day or night and we'll be super pumped to get to know you and explain more of what makes us so unique.

I cannot recommend Requiem Images enough. I randomly found them on Instagram when I was searching for an elopement photographer. Being a photographer myself, I am extremely particular and was a bit afraid I’d never find someone to live up to my expectations. Not only did kitty meet my expectations, she exceeded them. From start to finish, I was impressed with the professionalism and love that poured out of this amazing human. I am, per my own designation, an incredibly awkward subject. I’m used to hiding behind the camera, but Kitty made me feel so comfortable. I honestly can’t believe the images she was able to capture. Her attention to detail and ability to make people feel at ease are truly a gift. Not only did I use her for our elopement, but I also subsequently hired her for our family pictures, and then my own branding session. She has raw talent and an eye for the extraordinary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Requiem Images to everyone I know (or don’t know!). Book them immediately. You will not regret it!!

I created Dear Heart Film + Portraits in college when I realized just how much I love photographing other people. It started with fun-loving seniors and now has developed into capturing adventurous couples who are so unashamedly in love.

We just had our wedding on 11/17/2023 and I cannot say enough amazing things about Shelby and her team who worked with us on our big day! From the very beginning Shelby was literally amazing, she is super supportive, kind, and organized. When we first got engaged, I talked with a few different photographers over email but Shelby was the only one I felt like matched our style, vibes, and her personality was also a great fit for us. When we did the intro zoom call, I felt like we were a great fit! My husband and I are more on the casual side of things for photography, never big fans of posing for the cameras but Shelby made us feel comfortable during our engagement session so I knew she was the right fit and I couldn’t wait for the wedding photos! Fast forward almost 1.5 years later, Shelby created detailed schedules and met with us a few times to go over the details of the wedding day. She has super detailed forms that you get to fill out to make sure you get everything you want on the day of. I will say, the schedule that she made was SUPER helpful, I sent it to Hair/MUA as well as my bridal party so everyone knew where and when to be at certain times throughout the day. Finally it was the big day! Shelby was scoping out the venue early and started taking the detail shots (dresses, perfume, rings, etc)! We also had a second photographer and videography included in our package. What I loved most about our experience with Shelby is that she was just a calm and confident presence during our big day. I feel like sometimes people get flustered, nervous, jittery, etc with everything going on but Shelby was there for us whether it be cheering us on to get the perfect shot, encouraging us to get that kiss, directing family members so we didn’t have to, or holding on to our tissues for all the happy tears. Shelby also is mindful of what YOU (the couple) want on your big day. If you change your mind about certain poses or things you want to do throughout the night, no big deal, Shelby goes with the flow! I loved all of the natural poses that she put us in and we are literally IN LOVE with all the sneak peeks she sent us. We can’t wait to see the entire gallery as well as our wedding video in a few months! Shelby, thank you for everything you and your team did, you are so incredibly talented and amazing! I would HIGHLY recommend using Shelby at Dear Heart Films for your wedding!! 100000/10!!

Welcome to Emily Woznica Photo. I am a Wedding Photographer based in Syracuse, NY that photographs weddings all over CNY. I am a true to color and natural light photographer. This means your photos are tastefully enhanced and still match the moment. I primarily work with couples and my work ranges from engagements, weddings, family sessions and more. Things that inspire my me are historical architecture, stone, sunsets, and water. I have a calm and laid back personality, but I am genuinely passionate about serving my clients to ensure they receive the quality photos they deserve.

Emily, and her colleague Katie, were absolutely incredible to work with. From day one meeting via Zoom, she made me feel fully at ease and brought that same warm, but organized, energy to the actual wedding day. She got all of the shots we asked for - and then some! Throughout the day, she was gentle but firm in guiding us to stay on track with schedules (my family is notoriously horrible at this) and I'm just so appreciative I had her presence there on my special day. She even climbed through the woods to get some sunset photos of me atop a hill - a ridiculous demand of mine but she did it with a smile. I feel like I made a new friend in her! Thank you again, Emily and Katie, for the amazing captures you took - you did a wonderful job. 11/10, highly recommend!

I want to cover your day in a way that highlights the joy and sincerity that surrounds you and the people you love. Some emotions are unbridled, but most are nuanced and fleeting. When you look back at your set of images, I want you to be transported back to that day and to have those feelings rekindled. My role is to be an observer and a listener. The less time I spend interrupting, the more time I can spend watching, waiting, and capturing the moments that should be remembered. If I’m there to record it, it’ll be without printed pages from other photographers you’d like to see imitated. I'll be there as me – and I’ll be capturing you.

Awarded Best of Zola
My search for a wedding photographer was pretty much a full time job. In fact, it was harder finding a wedding photographer than it was finding a man I wanted to marry. After spending hours and hours searching for the perfect wedding photographer, a google search found me Katie and I knew I had to work with her. From day 1 she was so easy to work with and was willing to work with me on my budget. I was extremely particular when it came to my photos and from the engagement photos to the wedding photos, she really hit it out of the park without me having to describe every little thing. The photos invoked the emotion/feeling I wanted from them and I particularly was wowed by her black and white photos. She clearly knows what she's doing and was able to work efficiently and work around a ton of sudden changes. I was a bundle of nerves on my wedding day and really valued her calm, peaceful demeanor. She truly has an extraordinary style and eye for photography and she's my #1 recommendation for brides looking for timeless wedding photos that transcend what's trending today. We've since worked with her for family photos and she wowed us once again. Honestly I'd have her photograph every momentous occasion of my life if I could. If you go through her portfolio you'll see all different styles of weddings but each photo is stunning. God forbid if I ever have another wedding, partnering with Katie is a no-brainer.
