The Story Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Schenectady, NY

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

Chris & Megan take incredible photos and truly capture the beautiful and special moments! We got married in Ithaca at Cornell University and leading up to our wedding day, Chris met with us and spent time getting to know us. He also informed us of things we should consider on our wedding day (such as a first look or where we wanted portraits). On our wedding day. Chris and Megan took amazing photos and did a great job directing our family during the portraits. We received our digital photos a week later and were so thrilled with how they looked! We will recommend The Story Photography to anyone looking for professional photos in the upstate NY area!

Hello! My name is Katie, and I am the wine-loving, adventure-seeking, memory-making human behind the camera. I am passionate about supporting small and/or local businesses, especially when I travel. You can usually find me trying out a new brewery or restaurant or exploring a different trail leading to some new view!

Awarded Best of Zola
She’s my absolute favorite to work with. You can tell she knows what she’s doing by her attention to detail. She can put you in the most relaxed and candid poses but still makes sure she fixes that wrinkled shirt or hair sticking up or double chin :) She’s very communicative and makes sure she gets to know you as person rather than just a client. I will never choose anyone else for my photos.

Kenzie Gates Photo

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Schenectady, NY

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.

Redline Photography

Hey! My name is Bill. I’ve been practicing photography since 2016, where I started in automotive (if you can guess what I named my business after, bonus points). My whole process is structured mainly to eliminate the stress of worrying about your timeline on your special day. It starts with a consultation, and ends with a call a month before to solidify your schedule. My style is a blend of documentary and artistic, meaning the candid photos are what really matter, but the posed photos are what might print and frame. Regardless, your day is my focus (pun intended). If you think we’d vibe, let’s chat and make your special day great!

I haven’t even gotten married yet (wedding to come) and he’s been nothing short of amazing! Can’t wait to see my wedding photos! Highly recommend him!

Our passion for visual storytelling and photography began over 20 years ago when we started capturing incredible stories, weddings and life’s most important events behind our lens in a little town in Abruzzo Italy, and later on we expanded onto South Florida’s warm beaches and New York's charm. As a worldwide family owned brand that started as a husband and wife team, our DNA is down to earth, creative and artsy. We are outgoing and full of creativity. No two weddings (like no two paintings) will ever be the same. Our approach: candid, photojournalistic, natural. We are here to capture the creatives in love. The real, the authentic you.

Acromatico is amazing. The quality of photos down to how they delivered our pictures was with the upmost care and professionalism. Marietta broke down pricing for us and accommodated our chaotic rainy wedding day schedule. She’s the best, so patient and kind yet the best photographer I have ever had. They are booked for every event we have in the future!!!

Belanger Photography of The Berkshires 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Schenectady, NY

So you want to know a little about Belanger Photography of The Berkshires? Hi! I am Jeffrey Belanger, owner and lead photographer of Belanger Photography of The Berkshires. My wife, Kristen Belanger, works alongside me as the second photographer to run our Berkshire based photography business. We specialize in weddings, engagements, and elopements. Outside of business we love to go out hiking, kayaking, fishing, spend time with our families, try new restaurants, and lay on the beach every chance we get!

Belanger Photography of the Berkshires was incredible to work with for our wedding and I couldn’t be happier! Jeff and Kristen were so nice and personable. When we were first looking at photographers, there was certainly a lot of photographers out there and while we had cheaper options to choose from I fully believe the experience we got with the Belangers was well worth the cost and more. We originally chose Belanger Photography of the Berkshires because they were the first ones who seemed to care about who we were as a couple. Upon contacting them for the first time, Jeff immediately wanted to video chat instead of email and the desire to be so personal went a long way in my book as well as my husband’s. Throughout the process, Jeff and Kristen not only talked business but they also shared there own marriage story as well as general wedding advice that I never would have thought of. In the months leading up to our wedding, Jeff made an effort to contact us regularly to ensure we were all on the same page. Wedding planning can be very stressful and a lot of things could go wrong but I never had any doubts that Belanger Photography of the Berkshires was the right choice for us. On our wedding day, Jeff and Kristen were absolute champions! Not only was it evident how skilled they were at their craft, but they ran the show so smoothly while also being so caring and considerate. I had so many guests as well as members of my bridal party that commented on how wonderful they were. So much so that my sister already intends to use them for her wedding. Our experience with them was incredible and the pictures that resulted were amazing. I would suggest them to anyone in a heartbeat!

Once I was able to see all the wedding photos from the wedding, it sealed the deal after seeing there amazing photos of the wedding.

We could not have asked for a better team of photographers for our wedding day. Maria and Scott were easy to work with from the beginning, and we felt very comfortable leading up to the wedding day. Maria and Scott were such a pleasure to have with us throughout our big day and they brought great energy - they made us laugh and reminded us to just be ourselves. Looking at our photos, we are so in love with their work and would recommend them to anyone!

Our pictures came out absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t wait for him to capture our big day.

Our team of friends is dedicated to curating intimate and unforgettable elopement experiences surrounded by the beauty of the Adirondacks. There is peace in simplicity and value in the celebration of love in its purest and most intimate form.

Perfect, that is the only way to describe our wedding day with Forever Wild. The team, the locations, the time, and even the weather all came together to give us our dream wedding. Tom, Lexi, and Marc Anthony helped us put our elopement together in only 6 weeks! Their outstanding knowledge of the Adirondacks led us to the stunning mountain views of Cobble Lookout for our ceremony and the still, quiet waters of Cascade Lake. Tom and Lexi are outstanding photographers and really captured every moment of our day! With almost 200 pictures in our album, each one was better than the last. Marc Anthony, our officiant, is an absolute gentleman. He led our ceremony with positive, heartwarming thoughts that helped remind us why my wife and I chose to tie the knot. From helping us bring all of our wedding gear up the mountain, to even helping us change when we reached our location, they made every part of our day easy and carefree.

Hi Friends! I'm Courtney and I am the person behind the camera here at Reed Photography! I've been living in Columbia County (almost) all of my life!

We've been back in the area for 10 years and have two sons, Liam and Cayden, our daughter, Mia and our "golden" child, our Golden Retriever Brody! I'm an avid country music fan, concert addict, Netflix binger, and New England Patriots fan!

Cannot say enough great things about Courtney! She felt like a friend from the very start. She was super organized in helping plan out our day and what photos/moments we wanted to capture. Her photography work from our day was amazing. I am absolutely obsessed with how our pictures came out! She caught so many moments from the reception I wasn’t around to see and I am forever grateful. She even did our maternity photoshoot too!

I have been a serious and successful photographer in the portrait, wedding and fine art fields for over twenty years and while working in London, I was awarded a distinction by The Royal Photographic Society for my documentary portraits. Educated as an artist and photographer through The Brooks Institute of Photography, I was also fortunate enough to attended intensive workshops given by the top wedding photographers in the world including 2MU, Jerry Ghionis, Parker Pfister, Brook Shaden, Cliff Mautner and Paulina Duczman.

Sally was a delight to work with! We were drawn to her documentary style that captured candid *moments*. Her portfolio showed that she had a solid understanding of composition, texture, and light & shadow. Additionally, it was important to us to have an inclusive photographer who respected all identities and cultures. From the very beginning, Sally was open and communicative, taking the time to understand our wedding day, offering timeline suggestions, answering questions, and getting to know us and our style. We had multiple experiences on our wedding day, including a tea ceremony and lion dance, so there were many moving parts, making for a full day. On the day of our wedding, Sally and her assistant, Gael, were prompt and starting working right way. Sally was geared up with multiple cameras and a harness. She even brought accessories to stage items for detail photos (such a ring holder and ribbon!). Sally was familiar with our venue, Lake Morey Resort, and had a lot of ideas on where to take photos (despite the slightly rainy day!). Additionally, Sally and Gael were extremely patient with our relatives, all of whom acted as paparazzi. We were super impressed with the photos Sally captured, despite our relatives randomly jumping in to grab a photo on their phones! Sally and Gael were everywhere and oftentimes, we didn't even notice they were there to capture certain moments! They were truly professionals who kept up their energy and enthusiasm the entire day, and worked in harmony with our videographer and the venue coordinator. Due to family request, our photos were a blend of candid shots and formal portraits. Sally balanced these perfectly, doing an excellent job with both styles of photography. We were impressed at how quickly we received sneak peeks. Photos from the entire day were delivered via an elegant USB flash drive. Sally exceeded all of our expectations. Her photos captured real, candid moments, beautifully reflecting the joy of the day. We only wish we hired her for the entire weekend!

Just a girl living in Brooklyn who is obsessed with her Frenchie named Yoshi. I started my photography business 10 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Throughout the years I've photographed every type of wedding you can think of and have been so lucky to call a lot of my clients friends now. If you're into it, I'm a true Enneagram 2 & a Pisces - what a combo right? To sum it up, I'm emotional, I'm intuitive, I'm an empath, and I'm a dreamer. These traits are what represent/help my business - I'm able to work and connect with almost anyone (even those tough MIL's love me!). My main priority is to make sure my clients have fun!

I fell in love with Tonhya and her work from our first collaboration, and since then she has become one of my go-to photographers for all of my weddings. The amazing photos speak for themselves, and she is a fantastic energy to be around on your wedding. Love love love!

I’m Lizzie, a wedding & engagement photographer in New York and New Jersey. For more than a decade, I’ve been capturing life's great moments. On wedding days, I am known for my happy and relaxed presence, making sure you’re on time and smiling throughout your whole day.

My husband and I hired Lizzie to do our engagement photos and bridal shower photos. She is really friendly, and her work comes out beautifully. I've recommended her to two other brides who also loved her work! When looking for a photographer, it was really important to me to find someone that would take timeless, natural looking photos that weren't cheesy and Lizzie delivered just that. For our engagement shoot, she thoroughly researched the location I chose (Central Park), recommending the best time for lighting and the best spots to take photos at. She delivered the photos quickly and even gave me a sneak peak the night of the shoot! For my bridal shower, she captured the most sentimental candids. The room was a little dark, but she has the right equipment with her to deliver amazing photos with perfect lighting. Aside from delivering a great final product, Lizzie is friendly and makes taking photos really comfortable. Her diligent research of the venue/location beforehand really made her work that much better. Her editing style is natural and timeless, and she was able to really capture how I was feeling at the moment.

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.

We feel so lucky to have found Laura. Laura shot our small wedding(35 people) and captured the day beyond our wildest dreams. She is professional, kind and unbelievably talented. We wanted to focus on candid moments as opposed to staged group photos and what she captured was nothing short of magic. She has provided us with memories to last a lifetime and we are forever indebted to her. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Laura. Book her- you won’t regret it!

My couples mean the world to me. I love hearing their stories, what makes them tick, and the things that are important to them. It’s my goal to capture them exactly the way they are; how they crack jokes, poke fun, dance together, hold one another. I’m there to capture the genuine tears, the laughs, how you just fit so well together. With directive posing, I bring out real chemistry and personalities. With my laid back vibe, I’ll ensure even the photo-heavy parts of the day are a breeze. I believe every single part of a wedding should be a blast and that every couple should be celebrated in their own unique way.

I could not have asked for a better person to capture my wedding! On our wedding day, it poured rain and I was absolutely devastated that the outdoor wedding I had been dreaming of was not happening. As I was sitting there faced with that reality, about to ruin my makeup with tears, Andrea swooped in like a superhero and genuinely made me feel like the rain was a good thing. She was the only voice of reason that made me feel like everything was still perfect. She ran around in the rain with us all day capturing the most gorgeous photos and I didn’t feel like I missed out at all. She was prepared with clear umbrellas and we actually had fun! She is also just so talented, the pictures and the saturation are just absolutely gorgeous, and not only that but she also has an absolute talent for capturing joy and movement. All my vendors have chosen to use her photos from my wedding on their websites, seriously just hire her!!!
