Since 2014, I have been working as a professional photographer, from dance competitions, to headshots, press events, engagements, weddings, corporate, and picture day in NYC public schools. But no matter where my career has taken me, my favorite moments have always been about capturing love, connection, and togetherness. As your wedding photographer, I promise a relaxed, fun, and creative atmosphere, making sure you feel confident and at ease in front of the camera. My goal is to deliver stunning visuals that will exceed your expectations.

“From the moment we first reached out to Lisa, we were impressed by her clear, detailed, and warm communication style. Lisa was an absolute pleasure to work with, and her gorgeous, high-quality work was evident in the stunning photos she captured of our engagement session at the American Museum of Natural History. The artistry she brings to the sessions and ideas she presents are so unique and beautiful - I didn't even realize that we could be captured this way! The aesthetic she achieved went beyond my expectations, and we couldn't be happier with the memories she helped us preserve from our special day. Could not recommend anyone more than Lisa for ALL of your photography needs.”

“Thomas and his team were wonderful for our wedding in December! Right from the start he was super helpful to give us all the information and didn't sugar coat anything. I will say I was a little suspicious at first when he said "I can do any style you want" I know some photographers only stick to certain styles. And with our wedding being in Sturbridge MA I was expecting a travel fee. But he wanted us to make sure that he was a professional, he keeps things fair all across the board. Thomas is also super quick when it comes to messaging! If I had any questions he would respond rather quickly. He surpassed my expectations with how accommodating him and his team were when working with us, even changing our minds about packages and addon's only a couple weeks out. On the actually day of the wedding, Thomas and his team were truly our hype men! Even when I was getting ready with my bridesmaids he was in on all of our jokes and making us laugh. While I was getting ready, I heard that the groomsmen and my husband were having the best time getting all the group photos of them. I can not recommend this team enough!”

  • Starts at $5,000

Being married for over 25 years, we bring an understanding of real love and partnership into every wedding we document. We believe the best wedding photos don't come from perfect posing-they come from being fully present. Because the truth is, your wedding day isn't a photoshoot. It's a blur of emotion, energy, nerves, laughter, and moments you didn't even see happening. Our job is to catch all of it. Not by staging it. Not by interrupting it. But by paying attention in a way most people don't.

“Working with Rebecca and Turnquist Collective was warm and seamless with beautiful photographs as the end result for both our engagement and wedding day. She was organized and a clear communicator from the very beginning, helping guide our shot list as well as grabbing candids and some Polaroids to ensure we captured all the best memories. Between our engagement shoot and our wedding day it was so easy to work with her and her second shooter Avery! I truly could not recommend them enough!”

“We worked with Kristen & Sheridan for our wedding earlier this year and are so lucky to have found them! TL;DR: From planning and day-of execution to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Kristen & Sheridan were incredible to work with. Not only were they the perfect presence for our wedding day, they captured it in such an authentic way with a stunning final product. We connected with Kristen & Sheridan the moment we met them which was important to us considering the amount of time you spend around your photographers. We did an engagement shoot prior and we not only received an incredible batch of photos, but we were able to establish a rapport that made the flow of our wedding day feel that much easier. When we had to tweak our photo schedule or change locations, they were the perfect people to help us pivot and keep things on track. And when it was time for the ceremony & reception, their discrete coverage led to incredible results that captured our day in such an incredible way. The wedding gallery they created was nothing short of amazing and we were able to see moments of friends & family we would have never seen day-of. And truly, everyone who interacted with them LOVED them. We had opted not to have a videographer and knew our photographs were going to be our primary memory of the day, and we have no notes! Kristen & Sheridan captured the perfect story of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!”

Lindsey, a Virginia native, took her first photo class in high school and has developed a passion for photography and videography ever since!

“I knew from the moment I saw Lindsey’s work from Heart Speak Visuals that I wanted her to photograph my wedding. She is incredibly talented at capturing raw, real, candid moments in such a beautiful and emotional way. Leading up to the wedding, Lindsey spent HOURS helping us get everything organized and making sure every detail was covered. She even helped us build out our timeline when our venue was falling short with planning support, which made such a huge difference for us and helped everything feel so much less stressful. On the actual wedding day, she absolutely nailed it. She kept us moving, on time, and made sure we got every single photo and moment we were hoping for. We had a LOT of family photos to get through, but she handled everything so efficiently while still keeping the energy positive and calm. Nothing ever felt rushed or overwhelming. We received our sneak peeks within a week, and we are already completely blown away. The photos exceeded our expectations in every way, and we cannot wait to see the final album. Lindsey is an EXTREMELY good communicator, reliable, hardworking, creative, and unbelievably talented. We truly cannot recommend Heart Speak Visuals highly enough! Danielle & Taylor”

The quality of her work is exceptional - both the attention to detail and organization she brought to the planning and execution of the day and of course the photos themselves. It poured rain the few hours before the ceremony, Carrie had the perfect backup plan for where to do our first look and made the whole experience of photos of us and our families seamless. Working with her was also fun, which was something we hoped to find in our photographer because we felt really comfortable in all our interactions with her. We are over the moon with the final photos Carrie produced and could not have asked for a better person to document our wedding day.”

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 first spoke with Bridget, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her photography style, her attention to detail, and her bubbly, yet calm, demeanor all contributed to the fantastic work she did for our wedding. Her communication was always organized and succinct, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. Most importantly, the quality of her work was truly amazing - Her classic, beautiful photography captured all the special moments of our day, going above and beyond our expectations. Not only was her photography the best that we've seen, it was also SO timely - We had sneak peeks within a few days of our wedding. Bridget was an absolute joy to work with, serving not just as our photographer, but as a wedding guide and hype woman, too! She kept our entire timeline running smoothly and made Brooke (the bride) feel so beautiful and special. Bridget has become more than just a vendor/photographer to us - she's a friend, and we plan to use her services for all of our big life events in the future. Choosing her as your photographer will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!”

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.”

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.

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.

“My wife and I celebrated our wedding on September 19, 2026, at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, and we want to take a moment to recognize our incredible photographer, Jaci Berkopec. From the very moment we began this journey with her, she made us feel like queens. The way she captured our wedding day is exactly what we dreamed of. Not only did she capture all of our colors, details, and outdoor lighting perfectly, but she consistently made every person in front of her camera feel comfortable and completely at ease. Jaci has such a warm, genuine, and welcoming personality that it never felt like we were being “posed” or photographed. She has a way of making you laugh, relax, and forget that a camera is even there. Every vulnerable moment in front of the camera felt lighter because of her. She made us feel beautiful, confident, and most importantly, like ourselves. What meant so much to us was how naturally she connected with not only us, but our family and friends as well. She was professional while still feeling like someone we had known forever. She brought such a calming and positive energy to the entire day, and we truly believe that energy is reflected in every photo. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving our wedding day all over again. She captured not just what our wedding looked like, but what it felt like — the joy, the love, the laughter, and all of the little moments we may have otherwise missed. We are beyond grateful that Jaci was the person behind the camera for such an important day in our lives. We could not recommend her more highly and feel so lucky that we found her!”

The photos they took are absolutely beautiful and delivered before they said I'd have them (even during the 2025 holiday season!). They helped my husband and me out with posing, and the result is a set of absolutely gorgeous photos that I'll treasure forever. 12/10. I wish I could give them more stars.”

Hi everyone! I live in Upstate NY with my husband and I've been a photographer for 4 years. I started off with people I know but now I'm starting to expand my business to the public. I absolutely love helping people tell their story through photos and it puts a smile on my face as well.

“From our first conversation with Molly Baker Photo, we knew we'd made the right choice. Molly was responsive to our questions and truly listened to what we wanted for our wedding day, making the entire planning process feel effortless. On the day of, she moved through our celebration with such ease, capturing the quiet moments between us and our loved ones that we'll treasure forever. Her eye for light and emotion is incredible—the photos are absolutely stunning and feel so natural. We were blown away by how she managed to get every shot we hoped for while also finding angles and details we didn't even know we wanted. Molly went above and beyond what we expected, and we can't recommend her highly enough.”

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/they), a wedding photographer based in the Adirondacks of New York. I photograph weddings with care, intention, and a deep respect for the moments that matter most for couples of all identities and love stories.

“Hawthorn Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very first meeting, Sarah and Drew were so easy to talk to and we felt like we connected with them very quickly. They are very professional but do not make you feel pressured at all - Sarah has great ideas and really hypes you up throughout the process. Drew always found creative ways to shoot the day and Sarah was there for me every step of the way, even when I needed quick help with my dress. Sarah is so dependable and the pictures they captured showcase both of their talents and our love so well. I'd pick Hawthorn Photography for photos for every occasion and in every lifetime!”

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come. When I'm not taking pictures, I am working as a nurse and dreaming of the days when I can put my toes in the sand with my nieces in Cape Cod.

“Katharine M. Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. As a great communicator who responds quickly, Katharine made us feel so comfortable and helped make our wedding day fun and stress-free. Her work is amazing - the photos are beautiful and perfect, capturing every special moment. She followed our shot list to a tee and then some, even handling our pushy father-in-law gracefully when he tried to take over. I've used Katharine for both our wedding and engagement photos, and I'm thrilled I did. Her go-with-the-flow style was exactly what I needed on the big day.”
