  • Serves Waterford, NY

I am a wedding photographer who splits time between my hometown of Fargo, ND and Albany, NY. I'm all about adventure and meeting new people, and my work has taken me to just about every state in the U.S. and put countless special humans and connections in front of my camera. I strives to portray love stories with authenticity and meaning and I happily tailor my approach to my clients’ tastes and preferences. My mission is to ensure that you enjoy the day, while I take care of catching those quiet moments in an unobtrusive way.

Oh my goodness, Kay was so much fun to work with! I was the day-of coordinator for a recent wedding that she shot, and we truly had a blast. Not only was her creativity and dedication to the couple's vision unmatched, but her time management skills were 10/10. When our timeline fell behind and we were getting super close to ceremony start time, she managed to catch us up perfectly and somehow captured significantly MORE pictures than we had planned. She was a perfect match for our client and I can't wait to see all of the beautiful photos that she captured. Hire her now, you won't regret it!

Kyle and Dave were SO great to work with. Every conversation with them was fun and they were so organized in walking us through creating the perfect soundtrack to our favorite day. Kyle and I hit it off immediately sharing a love of Electronic, Pop Punk, and HipHop; and Dave (who DJ'd the day of) was so in tune with my husband's love of Jam Bands, Bluegrass, and Jamtronica! They respected our wishes to check in with us about outlier song requests lol and added the flare our dream playlist needed. The photobooth was loved by all of our guests. We cannot recommend them enough to anyone hosting an event or wedding!

After a few classics for our older guests I told him to let loose and he did not disappoint! The dance floor was full all night. I got so many compliments on the party and vibe of the reception and all credit goes to Wyatt and co! 10/10 would recommend over and over again!

Hi friend! I'm Becca. Ever since I was little, I wanted to listen to others stories and share them with others. As a result of a college photography class that I loved and my dad's love of nature photography, I was gifted a camera after graduation, and I never stopped! I started taking photos at a performing arts center and became mesmerized with capturing joy. I have been in the wedding industry since I was fourteen and have been taking photos professionally since 2019.

Awarded Best of Zola
Becca, and her second shooter Liz, were amazing to work with. From the start Becca was easy to talk to, and so helpful in the planning process; from her helpful planning videos you receive as a client, planned video calls, her detailed timeline, and photography form to fill out, she made the whole planning process so much easier. She also gave lots of great advice for the day, including the decision to do a first look ahead of the ceremony. I was hesitant at first as I wanted to do the real reveal at the church, but after talking with her we decided to do the first look. I’m so glad we did as Becca was right, it took a lot of pressure of the rest of the day and gave us time to really soak that moment in just the two of us. This also allowed us more time to enjoy other parts of our day like attending the entire cocktail hour! Looking forward to the day, I was worried that I was going to hate having to take so many photos and being in front of the camera and felt like it was going to feel like wasted time in the day. Now, I am so happy that I had Becca for this, my husband and I had so much fun interacting with the photographers. Becca gave great instructions and had lots of fun prompts/conversation pieces to help us loosen in front of the camera and to look more natural. I am so looking forward to the photos, but from the day and seeing her precious work, I already can tell we are going to love them.

My husband and I had our wedding at Blenheim Hill Farm this past weekend 10/26/2024 and it was an absolute dream. Not only was it the dreamiest wedding because we got married in front of all of the people we love, but because of the absolutely beautiful venue and the team that brought it to life. Morten & Min, the owners were so helpful, kind and just the brightest lights from the moment we met them when we toured the venue through the planning phase and our wedding day. They clearly have a very buttoned up and efficient process, which showed the day of. Now let me talk about the rest of staff … they are AMAZING. We worked with Lawrence and Rosie the weeks leading up to our wedding and the day of and not only did they go above and beyond at their jobs, they truly seemed so happy to be there. There were a number of other team members behind the scenes that helped bring together a seamless wedding (we barely even noticed them - in a good way!) so thank you to the team. This includes the chefs cooking it up in the kitchen, while we didn’t see you … we were told by friends and family how delicious the food was / it was the best wedding food they ever had. The risotto…. Oh my was it delicious!! Another amazing benefit of Blenheim Hill Farm was their recommended babysitter, Victoria - she watched 5 of the kids who attended ceremony but not reception right on the grounds. She made arts and crafts and carved pumpkins with them! The parents and kids were very happy with her. Lastly, all we have to say is….. GET MARRIED HERE!!!!

Seven Ponds has been designed to host smaller, intimate weddings from 75 guests up to 140 guests with the same magical qualities and attention to detail as our sister farm Blenheim.

My husband and I recently celebrated our wedding at Seven Ponds Farm, and despite some unexpected rain, it was truly the best day ever! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning beauty of the venue. The mountains, the ponds, the charming farm (and adorable goats)—it was all picture perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the gorgeous setting. And even when the weather threatened to dampen our plans, the incredible team at Seven Ponds Farm had a backup plan to save the day. They seamlessly flipped our ceremony and cocktail hour so we could still get those breathtaking mountain views during our ceremony. They even brought delicious snacks and drinks from the cocktail hour to our bridal suite so we wouldn't miss out on any of the fun. We opted to have our rehearsal dinner at the venue as well as the reception, and we were not disappointed. We got many compliments on the food, and especially the fish tacos, which we didn't try during the tasting dinner, so we were pleasantly surprised! All around, everything was delicious. We also stayed at the venue from Thursday to Sunday, which definitely made the whole experience feel even more special, as it truly did feel like home while we were there. Olivia and Edvard were absolutely amazing. They were so professional, accommodating, and truly helped us every step of the way. When the power went out in the main house while we were getting ready, they were right there to help us get it back on. Their calm demeanor and quick thinking really put us at ease. We can't recommend Seven Ponds Farm enough. It's a beautiful place with an exceptional team who will make sure every detail of your wedding day is well thought out. If you're looking for a venue that's both stunning and has incredible service, look no further!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

From the moment we hired Bridget, we knew we were in great hands. She was not just a photographer, but a true partner throughout the entire wedding planning process. Her support was invaluable as she helped guide us through timelines and offered advice on how to make our day even more special. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, she truly went above and beyond. She was not only an incredible photographer but also the ultimate hype girl—cheering us on, keeping us calm, and making sure every moment was captured beautifully. Her attention to detail was incredible; no special moment was missed, and she seamlessly blended candid shots with stunning portraits. When we received our photos, we were absolutely blown away! Each image was more beautiful than we could have imagined—emotions, laughter, and love were all perfectly captured. The photos felt like a reflection of our story, and we’ll cherish them forever. Thank you, Bridget, for making our wedding day unforgettable and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.

Shawn provided the entertainment for our October 7 wedding and we could not be happier that we hired him! Hiring a DJ can be tricky because it's one vendor you really can't "trial" before your big day. Shawn took away a lot of that stress with a comprehensive questionnaire he had us fill out ahead of the wedding. We also sent him a list of do not play songs and vibe suggestions, but trusted him to read the room to keep the dance floor packed all night. We also really appreciated that Shawn was there to curate an enjoyable vibe -- not to hear himself talk on the microphone all night. He played a great mix of music that was suitable for guests of all ages and backgrounds, yet still felt cohesive when played one after the next. A true professional! Our guests had a blast dancing the night away, and many of them told us how much they loved Shawn's DJing in the days following the wedding!

They didn't miss a single detail - from close-ups of my dress to capturing the look in my partner's eyes when we said 'I do'. There were so many moments they captured that were just perfect. The moments with my girls as I was getting ready, my dad tearing up during our dance, and all our friends having a blast at the reception. They managed to get it all and put it together beautifully. When we got our final video, we were blown away. It wasn't just a wedding video, it was like a romantic movie about our day.

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.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
I hired Alisha about a year out from my wedding, and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. She took my vision and absolutely glorified it. When I visited her for my trial, we instantly connected and hit it off. She worked with me through some of my personal kinks and styles. I discussed with her my vision of relating it back to a book series and you know what she did? She went ahead and read that series to get a better understanding of my ideas! And not only did she understand, she straight up brought it to life. Alisha is so sweet and understanding, super down to earth, and an amazing stylist. She treated everyone as if they were the star of the day and she’s just an amazingly talented person. Her prices are a key point, but honestly hiring her made me want to just be her friend by the end of everything. If you’re not hiring Alisha for your wedding day, you’re doing it wrong. She fit my style and my vibe, and I’m so grateful she was the hair stylist I went with. Thank you thank you thank you!

Hi there! I do makeup for all kinds of events and photoshoots! Your wedding day can be one the most special days of your life. I strive to create a peaceful and joyful atmosphere for you to get ready on your wedding day, so you can enjoy every moment of it!

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex is absolutely the BEST at what she does!!! She is so warm, attentive, and thorough at making sure I felt like the bride I always wanted to be on my big day. Our trial run was so much fun, and she had complete grace and flexibility on the big day when it turned out I wanted to change EVERYTHING (God bless her!!). I was sick the morning of my wedding, but Alex rolled with it effortlessly, moved around the morning-of-schedule to style half of my bridesmaids’ hair and makeup, and worked absolutely masterfully under all the pressure of having half the time to finish me as the bride. Truly, she is nimble, professional, creative and has the BEST energy to be around on the biggest day of your life. I would absolutely hire her again, and because I chose her, I get to look back on the photos from my wedding for the rest of my life feeling the most beautiful I’ve ever felt. Thank you for everything Alex!!

We couldn't be happier with our decision to choose Wedding Planning Plus for our special day. From start to finish, working with Eliza and the team was an absolute pleasure. From the very first meeting, Eliza's professionalism and attentiveness were evident. She promptly responded to all of our emails and texts, ensuring that every question and concern was addressed promptly and professionally. During our rehearsal dinner, Eliza's attention to detail was remarkable. She ensured that our rentals were organized and took the time to walk us through every aspect of the upcoming day. Her detailed timelines for the bridal party made everyone feel at ease and ensured that everything ran smoothly. On the wedding day itself, Eliza and her team were absolute stars. They arrived prepared and executed every detail flawlessly. Their communication with each other was seamless, and they never once showed any signs of nervousness or panic. She never left our side and her help went beyond just planning, she stuck up for our wishes, provided bandaids for blistering feet, all while capturing amazing BTS photos on our phones! One of the things that stood out most about working with Eliza was her personal touch. Throughout the planning process, she constantly reminded us to cherish every moment and made sure that we were doing/making choices that made us happy. She reminded us of this on our wedding day as well. Her thoughtful reminders made our experience throughout and on our wedding day truly special . In conclusion, we cannot recommend Wedding Planning Plus highly enough. Eliza and the team went above and beyond to make our day perfect, and we are so grateful for everything they did.

Dream Space Weddings was amazing! I couldn't imagine my proposal without all their help. They were there to help in every magical moment, from the moment they landed in LA they helped me every step of the process (even hiding in the sailboat's tight cabin for half an hour until I finally proposed at sunset). My now fianceé was so enthusiastic with the quality of both the photos and the videos. As we are both in the film industry, these captured moments are very important to us and it was wonderful to be able to trust such a professional and see such results! We recommend Dream Space Weddings to everyone (though they do book up quickly for obvious reasons).

  • Offers 4 services

  • Serves Waterford, NY

Cathy founded Cathy's Elegant Events in 2010. Although she was born in NYC, her family moved to the Catskill Mountains at a young age, but they maintained a home in Brooklyn. This allowed her to have a unique upbringing in both Upstate New York and Brooklyn, where many of her relatives still reside. Cathy holds a degree in Mathematics and Statistics.

It was so fun getting to spend time with her and getting to know her during this process. Cathy made every little detail of our fairytale wedding come true. She was terrific during the planning process. When I wanted to try to handle projects myself, she stepped back and let me handle them, but was always there if I needed advice or help with anything. When I needed her to be more involved and hands on, I felt completely confident and comfortable letting her take things in the direction that she felt was best. She was always quick to answer emails and talk on the phone to hash out big picture items or last minute details. The week leading up to the wedding Cathy was AMAZING. We spent almost 2 hours on the phone making sure every last detail was taken care of and exactly the way I envisioned it. She ran our ceremony in the pouring rain and was always cheerful and positive, she was there for me for moral support all afternoon while I was getting ready, she helped setup the barn and ceremony beautifully and made sure every detail was in order. During the ceremony and reception, she made sure that my husband and I were taken care of the entire evening. Our day was absolutely perfect from start to finish and Cathy's expertise, guidance and help played such a huge part in the success of our wedding day. Thank you Cathy!! Tim and I are so grateful for all the hardwork and love you put into making our day great.

the String Girls want to help you walk down the aisle to the music you love, personalized for you. We can take your vision and turn it into reality with beautiful memorable live music. Whether you're into top 40 hits, there's a classical piece you can't get out of your head, or your wedding day would not be complete without a reference to your favorite series or movie, we can create the perfect processional for you.

Olivia and Bridie were wonderful to work with. They were able to learn our 2 custom arrangements within a month of the wedding which we so appreciated. The performance was wonderful! The music was beautiful and I'm so happy we chose to hire them to play for our ceremony. There's just something about live string music that makes a wedding even more special! They have a long repertoire list too, so we were able to choose lots of beautiful songs for the ceremony. And they were so nice and waited for us to finish our photos so we could meet them in person! Would definitely recommend them!

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography is here to celebrate your unique story. From Albany to anywhere your love takes you, we specialize in documenting authentic moments for all couples and families.

It’s honestly hard to put in words the incredible experience we had with Kristen Renee Photography. We started out a few months ahead of time with an engagement shoot (which I would HIGHLY recommend) where we got to know each other and Kristen’s style. as two people who are not used to being photographed, we were so thankful for Kristen’s expertise in posing and making us feel comfortable. We used the photos for our save the dates and wedding invitations :) In the months leading up to our wedding day, Kristen was always available and helpful in answering all our questions. She even scheduled 2 in depth phone calls where she helped us figure out the timeline of the day and made us feel so comfortable. When we decided we wanted videography as well at the last minute, she directed us to Elmtree weddings and facilitated that. Honestly, I don’t know what we would’ve done without Kristen. The wedding day went off without a hitch, and the photos are spectacular. I can’t overstate how important it is to have vendors that work cohesively with each other, and Kristen and her team not only worked well with the other vendors we hired, but actually seemed like FRIENDS. It was obviously the best day of my and my husband’s life (so far ;) ) but it made it extra special to look over and see our photo, video, and DJ team(s) all working so well together. Also, just a special shoutout to another member of Kristen’s team, Sheridan (her wife!!!!). They work so incredibly well and it’s honestly inspiring how well a married team can work together :) I feel like I could write so much more, but please just use this review as an INSISTENCE that you book Kristen Renee Photography before another couple books her first!!! Thank you so so so so much again, Kristen!!

Creek Water Blooms specializes in fully customized wood flower floristry. All arrangements are made with soft realistic wood flowers and faux/preserved fillers to create floral arrangements that can you can enjoy forever. Every flower is handmade, painted and arranged to ensure your wedding flowers are exactly what you envisioned! There’s no waste from throwing away dead flowers and the wood flowers are made from an eco friendly material. Wood flowers also prevent allergy issues, scent sensitivity and wilting. They’re the perfect way to enjoy your flowers on your wedding day and every day after.

Jessica, the owner of Creek Water Blooms, is absolutely incredible! Starting the process, we didn’t have a clear vision for our flowers, but she asked all of the right questions and created a bouquet and boutonnière that are even more perfect than anything we could have come up with ourselves. She included us in every step along the way (sending pictures of flower samples, paint/dye tests, etc.) and made the process extremely easy and stress-free. We got so many compliments on our flowers from our vendors, wedding guests and complete strangers; they photograph beautifully, are light-weight and less fragile than natural flowers. Best of all, we get to keep our flowers for life without the cost and stress of preservation. If you’re looking for beautiful, customized, long-lasting flowers and you want to work with a professional who takes the stress out of planning, then we absolutely recommend Jessica at Creek Water Blooms.

T. L. Holloway 

5.0

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Waterford, NY

Wedding and event band based in New York’s Capital Region. We do cocktail jazz, wedding receptions, ceremony music and more. Today, jazz is a rarity, especially in its purist live form. This condition is a result of its limited availability, and the higher prevalence of rock bands in most areas. We at T. L. Holloway seek to alleviate this issue. As students of the jazz classics, we seek to provide authentic American jazz to venues and events all over the Northeastern United States.

Awarded Best of Zola
T.L. Holloway was the perfect band for our June garden wedding. Steve, John, Peter, and Dylan are fantastic people, extraordinary musicians, and organized planners. These four showed off their versatility and stamina by playing throughout our whole wedding day — from ceremony music with custom renditions of some of our favorite folk songs, through the cocktail hour and dinner with smooth jazz and Sinatra, and closing out the night with faster jazz mixed with classic American and contemporary tunes to keep everyone dancing. They graciously provided sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony, and Steve artfully handled wedding party introductions during the reception as well as various announcements. Throughout the night we noticed them checking their sound from various locations — that attention to detail and care typified our experience, from our first planning call until their last song. They made everything easy for us, were extremely generous with their time during planning, and their renditions of songs we selected were beyond what we imagined was possible. Our guests (and us!) were simply enamored! As lovers of jazz and classic American tunes (but not necessarily dancing), these guys had us and our guests dancing all night. They matched our style and energy level perfectly. We received countless guest compliments on their behalf, though the credit is all theirs. Whenever we think back on our wedding day, their music will always be a cherished part of it! We can’t recommend enough — or thank enough — T.L. Holloway.
