  • Serves Utica, NY

As a wedding and lifestyle photographer, I serve the beautiful region of Upstate New York, capturing love stories and life's most precious moments. I believe in a personalized approach, working closely with brides before their big day to establish a detailed timeline and shot list, ensuring every special moment is captured. My commitment extends beyond the wedding day; working with couples to create stunning printed heirlooms that they can cherish forever. Often, I have the joy of continuing to document their journey as they transition into parenthood.

Courtney is an amazing photographer who takes pride in her work (as she should!). I’m so glad she took our engagement and wedding photos. She made us both feel extremely comfortable and made us laugh the whole time! The photos were available to us soon after our sessions and they were perfect. Courtney’s assistant, Cortney, was another great asset to have on our wedding day! I would highly recommend Courtney Mezger Photography for any of your photography needs. Hopefully one day we can return to her and get more photos taken!

I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Cassie was so easy to work with, she was always available to chat with, and so helpful with planning our COVID wedding. She took the most beautiful pictures and captured our relationship in a very natural way. We couldn't have planned and re-planned our wedding without her help and expertise. We chose Cassie because we love the natural look of her photos. It is also very nice to have a photographer that is not completely booked every weekend with a wedding. We were not a number we were able to create a bond and friendship. Thank you Cassie for being so wonderful!

Elopement & Wedding photographer in the beautiful Upstate NY. We love sophisticated, stylish and romantic vibes, as well as rustic and adventureful days. We travel throughout the northeast and the mountain ranges of the ADK. In addition to capturing the traditional wedding photos, luxury high-end wedding photography services often include a range of extra features, such as engagement photo shoots, bridal portraits, boudior and even aerial drone photography. These services can help to create a truly unique and personalized experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.

Amanda from Golden Heart Studios was the photographer for our wedding in August, 2023. Before the wedding day we discussed the schedule and the look we were going for in our photos and Amanda went above and beyond to give us what we were looking for. She was great with directing us, the wedding party, and family to pose for photos and really thought through where she would be at different parts of the ceremony to make sure that she got beautiful shots. She was especially good at getting the little kids to look at the camera. The editing of the photos was also exactly what we were looking for. My only regrets are that I didn't schedule more time and that I didn't have a more detailed schedule for my family when it came to photos. On the wedding day itself, it was a bit like herding cats. But Amanda was very helpful, cooperative, and creative and made it work anyway! The pictures looked great and she really captured the atmosphere of the ceremony and reception!

Lauren Victoria Photography

  • Classic style
  • Serves Utica, NY

I am just a bubbly extrovert with a serious love for love & ice cream. Growing up, my dream job was to become a wedding planner. The wedding scene fascinated me! Thankfully, my lack of organizational skills shifted me away from that and directed me towards photography instead. Photographing a wedding day is one of my greatest joys, and I truly believe it's what I was made to do. I'm here to hold your hand when you're nervous, pin boutonnieres when no one else knows how, and to give you images that are timeless, romantic, authentic.

Lauren Victoria Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and made us feel like their top priority. Their communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding was seamless. The final photos they delivered were nothing short of incredible - their creativity and artistic eye shone through in every shot, perfectly capturing the genuine emotions and effortless moments of our special day. We were thrilled to receive our full gallery in a very timely manner, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day. We cannot recommend Lauren Victoria Photography highly enough for any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photography team to help document their big day.

Your wedding day is filled with emotion and excitement; an array of intimate exchanges and loving interactions. Photography is an art unto itself and a sophisticated photographer is, in essence, a “painter of light”. A strong sense of timing and intuition enables me to capture your precious moments as they unfold and my work as an artist tells a visual story. The images I create become a part of the beginning “first chapters” of your new life together. Throughout your big day, I will photograph those cherished moments, as well as the fun and memorable ones, in a way to relive this blissful experience as you look back over the years to come.

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! 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 so you look and feel natural and comfortable. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

One of the most important aspects of a photo is the emotion it conveys. While I have years of training and experience, photographing love cannot be reduced to lighting and angles. ​ Well before your special day. I hear my client's love story. This helps me create eye-catching images that portray the kind of affection that is unique to each couple. I pride myself in being a storyteller-photographer.

Hello, I'm Kayla! Voted most likely to succeed in the field of agriculture. Yet somehow, landed here. And I wouldn't change a single thing. Life has taken me on some crazy adventures and up until 6 years ago, none of those pointed to being a photographer. Becoming a mom led me to pick up a camera and since then I haven't put it back down. I quickly developed a passion for telling people's stories. Capturing the most intimate, heartfelt moments truly sets my soul on fire.

Kayla French Photography was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography. Kayla provided great communication everything leading up to the wedding and after, and the day of she couldn't have been more helpful. Kayla's work is absolutely amazing - you can tell she loves what she does and it really shows in the beautiful photos she captured. Kayla helped in every way to contribute to our special day, and our guests really enjoyed her presence and positive energy. We are thrilled with the sneak peaks and can not wait to see final photos.

Emily and I have worked together on a number of occasions, and I have always had so much fun and learned a ton! While there are tons of great photographers out there (and Emily certainly stands out as a top-tier photographer), the thing that makes her so incredible is how she is on the day. She has the ability to predict what you need before you need it, keep everything running smoothly, and make the day about you. I remember the first time we worked together, my shoes were giving me blisters so she just pulled out these tiny high-heel bandaids that IMMEDIATELY took all the pressure off and let me work efficiently for the rest of the night! Emily is there when you need her, and in the shadows when you don't. She is professional, kind, and courteous. Ultimately, you really just don't find many other photographers like her. If you're on the fence about it, just hop on a call with her. You'll see for yourself :P
