Cheyenne Lee Photo 

5.0

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

Upstate New York-based wedding photographer that believes in breaking in the rules and keeping the energy laid-back and fun. That's right, we do things a little differently around here. Believe me when I say I get it, having your picture taken is scary stuff. Now throw in the nerves and stress of a wedding day and you're a freakin' hot mess. Here at CLP I'm fully invested in you and in making your wedding day kick-ass!

My husband and I got married in June of this year. One of the hardest vendors for us to choose from in the beginning was a photographer. Once we met with Cheyenne, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so personable and kind from the first meeting with us. She did an amazing engagement photo shoot with us back in September of last year and gave us option to choose where ever we wanted for the location and also helped give suggestions to a location as there are so many to choose from! Cheyenne was also tremendous in figuring out our wedding day timeline. This was something my husband and I were both stressed about just making sure we had everything right, but she just asked us simple questions and did everything from there! This was so beyond helpful! She also shared it with all of vendors after she put the timeline together too. Fast forward to our wedding day - she was nothing short of amazing!! She got there early to check out the venue first and then was right on it with photos of the guys and then the girls! Cheyenne captured amazing photos from every single part of our day. I attached just a few that she captured. She was amazing getting all of our family pictures done after the ceremony too! Cheyenne also bustled my dress for me before the reception with ease and so quickly! This was beyond helpful and so kind of her as it wasn’t something she had to do, but she was so happy to do it! She was with us for almost 12 hours on our wedding day and had a smile on her face the entire time. She is so genuine and amazing at what she does. We are so thankful that we did because she’s the absolute best! One more thing that Cheyenne does that I didn’t see a lot of vendors do that was so helpful - you can do a payment plan with her and pay every few months before your wedding (depending when you book). This was really helpful as weddings are expensive of course so having this option really helped us plan and prepare better! Make sure you book Cheyenne! You will NOT regret it, I promise!

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Utica, NY

Hiiiii! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic imagery and video, and lead with a documentary approach, mixed with editorial aesthetic (usually for direct flash portraits, which are my favorite). Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or a grand celebration at an estate, I'm here for it. Upstate New York is my home base, but I love to travel. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, getting coffee with my husband, Teddy, or drawing in my sketchbook.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juliette was the most amazing photographer for our wedding. She was always quick to respond and very helpful during the planning process and during the day of she was able to pivot with unexpected rain, keep hopes up and was a calm force that carried us through the day. Her style of pictures is STUNNING and she was able to get our (many) family pictures done very quickly so that we could enjoy the wedding to the fullest extent. She sent us so many pictures the day after our wedding as a sneak peak and we cannot stop staring at them! She is truly an amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her more to anyone considering working with her or looking for an A wedding photographer.

Wozztography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,599
  • Serves Utica, NY

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
I couldn’t recommend wozztography more. We have been working with him for years and it was a no brainer when we got engaged. He helped us feel comfortable and suggested fun poses, and then walked us through lots of things he wanted to take pictures of when it came to our wedding. He balanced letting me take control of what pictures I wanted and giving direction. We even got some drone shots. He was willing to travel, upbeat and energetic and captured the best day of our lives better than we ever hoped.

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.

I contacted Courtney after seeing her work for my besties engagement shoot. My wedding was originally supposed to be in July 2020, Courtney was understanding and helpful during the rebooking process. The day of my wedding (July 9, 2021) Courtney fit in seamlessly with the group. She made us all feel comfortable and ourselves in our photos, which is a big deal for my husband who needs direction (lol)! Our photos turned out beautifully! We couldn’t have asked for anything better! Courtney has become like a member of the family, she was now done our friends wedding, our wedding, maternity shoots and newborn sessions for both of us!

The Story Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Utica, 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!

  • Serves Utica, NY

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!

Kathryn Cooper Weddings

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

Awarded Best of Zola
We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.

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!

Michelle and Allison (her 2nd shooter) were absolutely phenomenal! We were so excited to get our photos back -they were stunning and exceeded by expectations. Michelle is a breeze to work with, and a true professional. She was able to help us navigate everything from various terrain, to family dynamics, all while calming my nerves. Several of my bridesmaids who had been in other weddings/recently married remarked that they had wished their photographer was as organized yet calm and directive as her. She wrangled a big bridal party quickly and made sure we had amazing shots. We had such a blast with her during our engagement shoot (which I highly recommend doing!) as it gave us a feel for her fun personality (along with her dad jokes) as well as how she shoots, which helped me figure out poses I liked/didn’t since I am very self conscious. We loved that she tries to take photos that reflect “in the moment joy,” rather than just a ton of posed photos (though don’t worry, she will take plenty of beautiful portraits too). She really understood the importance of capturing the spirit of the day and we are so excited our photos!!

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 is not your typical wedding photographer -- not even close. She is so much more! She's a documentarian, artist, journalist, and storyteller, and that is exactly why working with her was one of the best decisions we made for the best day of our lives! My husband and I wanted a photographer who would prioritize candid photos of genuine emotions and chaos (let's be honest, weddings are chaotic!) as opposed to staged and rigid "everyone-line-up-and-smile" portraits. The Lovely Lens fit that bill entirely. In addition to delivering the most beautiful, vibrant, happy, REAL photos of our wedding weekend, she was also such a lovely presence the whole time (I felt like she was a genuine friend by the end!) Also, she was totally game for everything! Our wedding got a late start thanks to the weather, which squished the time we'd allotted for photos exponentially (we also decided not to have a first look, so the photo time was even more squished). Celia quite literally sprinted through a field of wet grass and mud and then through a secret corridor with us as we rushed to get back to our cocktail hour to be present at our wedding. She is a superhero, and we cannot recommend her enough!

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

As the mother of the bride, having the right person for the right job is essential for the perfect wedding. I can say hands-down we chose the perfect photographer in Lauren K Downing she was professional, organized and made sure every photo was timed exactly right to not take away from the rest of the wedding festivities and guests. The details that Lauren captured were way beyond our expectations. Lauren Downing would definitely be someone I would recommend to do any professional photography

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

We used Emma Cleary Photography for our October wedding in New Hope PA and are BEYOND thrilled with the results!! The whole team was so easy to work with, and they made sure that we got everything we wanted from the day! Massimo was our lead photographer (with Ryan as co-photog) and I could not recommend them both enough! My husband and I (and our bridal party) felt so comfortable working them and they truly contributed to making our wedding day even more special! Choosing Emma Cleary was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and we are so thrilled with our photos :)

My work is inspired by romantic minimalism, modern elegance, and non-traditional perspectives. From stolen glances to joyous celebrations, I strive to capture what is at the heart of your relationship, weaving together a narrative that is uniquely yours. I blend a unique mix of documentary and editorial style photography in my craft: the documentary style to capture the events of your day in close detail, and the editorial style to provide copious amounts of posing guidance so you and your loved ones feel confident that you look like your absolute best in your photos.

After interviewing a few photographers for my proposal, Sravya clearly stood out to me as the best one for the job. She was very responsive, flexible, and kind. Most importantly, I loved her vision and support day of during the shoot. Her artistic eye made the photos turn out beautiful! She also delivered all of the pictures on time. Highly recommend working with Sravya!

Our wedding photos were one of the more important decisions for me and I knew right away after looking at Erin’s portfolio that he was the photographer for me. My husband was not excited for this part of our wedding but he knew how important it was to me. He then proceeded to tell me three times during our wedding and multiple times since how relaxed he felt and how much fun he had- especially during our first look photos! Our pictures were returned promptly and are stunning!! I highly recommend him!!

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

From the moment we reached out to Birchfields, their communication was quick, thorough, and sincere. Their attention to detail and ability to make us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera resulted in exceptional photographs that captured every special moment of our wedding day. Birchfields truly went above and beyond, taking unique angles and perspectives that allowed us to relive the entire day through their stunning imagery. When it’s hard to figure out which photo you want to print out and hang on the wall, you know you picked the right photographer! We could not be happier with the final product and would highly recommend Steve to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable wedding photographer.

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.

Andrea was literally the best. I am a bride who couldn’t make decisions on the day of, I was too anxious. If you’re an anxious bride, you need her. Andrea walked in, greeted me, and got right to work. She talked to my bridesmaids to get things she needs and only asked me questions when necessary. (Which I loved ). She was great at directing people and making it all happen for me. She was super fun and 1000% knew everything that needed to be captured.

As a wedding officiant, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with King on a beach destination (the couple are Canadians) wedding. It was a crazy, blustery day on the beach but King was a total pro, taking time before the ceremony, to go over my normal movements and special moments that the couple had planned. Afterwards, he even prepared - less than a week later - a small gallery of ceremony moments just for me, emailing me a link and permission to use. The photos were fabulous! I had taken a few with my iPhone - and while I knew his would be better, his totally blew me away. I can't wait to work with Journeys Photography 941 again!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Where to begin?! Anna made my wedding day MAGICAL! Our photos felt like actual works of art, yet somehow were captured in such a natural way. She was the one decision I made as far as vendors go that I actually felt peace with. I had zero doubts she would make mine and my husbands day so special, and she truly did. I feel like I'm transported back into time every time I look at our photos!

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

Our outdoor photos were beautiful. Kyla set clear thoughtful expectations during our consult. This lead to a tailored photo shoot with all the elements we hoped for and more! We were so happy with our pictures, we were able to print our photo-invitations and send them out with a week if the shoot. Supurb!

Hey! I'm Danielle, and I have been photographing weddings for over twenty years now. I love to capture the memories of the day so that when you look back at your photos you can relive the moment and feel the emotions all over again. It is the best job in the world to be able to be a part of the best day of someone's life. Many would characterize my work as a natural photojournalistic photographer. I feel that I am an artist as well as a photographer.

Danielle was actually recommended to us by a few people we know and she was also very highly rated online. She was everything and more then we could have asked for truly. My wedding party was not the best at listening and she was so very patient with them and me having to scream multiple times to get everyone's attention. She was such a pleasure to have at our wedding and our pictures turned out better then I could have ever imagined. Danielle has done other photography for me since my wedding. I plan to use her for all my and my families photography in the future. She has also become a wonderful friend. I highly highly recommend Danielle. I would pick her 10000 times over again!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

My husband and I got married at the start of the pandemic. Who would’ve thought that not long after I met the man of my dreams the world would be turned on its head! But there we were, starting a new life together during an uncertain time. Our wedding plans went through many changes as you would imagine. But Nicole was understanding, and did her best to work with our requests. She seemed to be just as excited about our plans as we were. My husband and I both agreed that she was easy to reach, and she was always very pleasant whenever we did so. She actually showed up to my wedding before I did! I would positively recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer for a special event. I’m very pleased with how the pictures came out. I would like to hire her again to do some family photos.
