“We found Julia through Zola and we are so grateful to have found her (and Leo)! She is always promptly responsive, clear and thorough in her communication. We were nervous about having our first professional photo shoot but she was awesome in directing us in what to do. She made the whole process super easy. And most importantly, the photos! Needless to say, I am OBSESSED. You can tell how passionate she is about her work and she really takes her time. We are so lucky to have her shoot both our engagement photos and wedding. I cannot say enough positive things.”

“My husband and I booked Blacktie Brothers as our videographer for our wedding in October 2023, and we could not have been more pleased. Mitchell, myself, and both of our families were SO impressed by your team at our wedding. On the day of our wedding, there were quite a few challenges to making the day go as smoothly as I had hoped, mainly the rain caused us to have to move our ceremony inside. The wedding coordinator associated with the venue did not follow up on a few of the tasks she had agreed to doing, namely being present during the photo session to make sure I was comfortable and hydrated. The entire media team at Blacktie Brothers stepped in and handled it so professionally, even getting me water when I felt faint from all of the commotion. Our day wouldn’t have gone as smoothly as it had without the help Blacktie Brothers gave us. We opted for the raw footage package, so we received an edited movie of our wedding as well as all the raw footage of our day on a thumb drive. The movie they made is amazing. The song they chose for the ceremony portion of the movie was a special choice— the lyrics reflected some aspects of our story as a couple. It was so thoughtfully crafted and makes me cry whenever I see it! The team was responsive and professional throughout the entire wedding planning process. Any question or concern we had was met with a genuine, timely response. The movie and the raw footage is now something we can have and share for the rest of our lives, and they so beautifully preserved the memory of our day. I have already recommended them to some friend getting married in upstate NY next year. Blacktie Brothers goes above and beyond, and was hands down one of our best vendors.”

  • Serves Cortland, NY

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! What a wonderful photographer for our wedding. Prompted to our initial email, easy going in our zoom call, and easily integrated into our families during the wedding. She absolutely captured all of the fun throughout the day all by herself. She did the work of three people in one. So many fun photos of us partying, getting ready and goofing off (my husband not having shoes, and a photo of his socked foot? Makes me cackle to this day), and the joyous occasion of just not a wedding - but the unity of friends and family. I would highly, highly recommend The Lovely Lens for anyone who is looking for slightly out of character / different photos because she DELIVERS. All of the photos we received are high quality, well edited without being over processed. She truly captured the magic of the day with barely any editing (to me!). She also managed to capture photos of my mother and grandmother truly looking gorgeous and beautiful that day. Sadly, both of those women in my life are no longer with us. But, I do get to look back on these fantastic photos and remember the good times. So with that, I thank you again. 10/10 if you want a down to earth, easy going, chill photographer, Celia is the way to go! I couldn’t have asked for anyone better.”

“Kelsey Travis is an exceptional choice for your wedding photographer. She has a timeless editing style, a rare talent for capturing beautiful moments, and a personality that is so wonderful to work with. Even before we saw our wedding photos, my husband and I kept saying Kelsey (and her colleague Matt) did such a great job and we were really grateful she was our photographer. She's so organized and communicative and you get so much value from working with Kelsey. Her results are spectacular--she made a little bit of a dreary day for an outdoor wedding look absolutely stunning. We don't even know which photo to frame because there are so many beautiful pictures to choose from.”

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 Kayla French Photography https://www.kaylafrenchphotography.co/ We just got married this past August 8th! Kayla French was our photographer, and we LOVED her. Kayla was absolutely the BEST wedding photographer we could have asked for!  From the very beginning, she made the entire process so easy and stress-free, in addition to being flexible when needed. She was incredibly quick and responsive with calls and emails, extremely organized, and always made sure we knew what to expect. She made everything feel so seamless and took so much of the stress out of the planning process for us. On our wedding day, Kayla was truly amazing. Her presence was so calming, which made such a difference during what can otherwise be a hectic and overwhelming day. She was confident and direct when it came to keeping things moving and making sure we got everything we needed, but she was also incredibly flexible and accommodating throughout the entire day. What I appreciated most was how genuinely supportive Kayla was. She was truly in my corner and made me feel so comfortable. She was attentive to the little things, so patient, and always made sure I was good.   She somehow managed to keep us on track while still allowing us to enjoy every moment. You could tell that she genuinely cared about making our day special, and she handled everything so seamlessly. We are beyond grateful that Kayla was there to capture our wedding day.  Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is also such a wonderful person to have by your side on one of the most important (and craziest) days of your life. We could not recommend her more highly! We will also be going back to her for future photo shoots too :) If you are considering booking Kayla, DO IT — you will not regret it! 3 PS - we just got our sneak peek pictures about a week after our wedding, and they are amazing.

As a documentary-style wedding photographer, I help couples tell their honest and joyful stories. And honestly, you don’t need someone directing you– you’re more beautiful when you’re just being you. I firmly believe you should spend your wedding day focused on yourself, your partner, and your celebration– not the camera.

“I can’t say enough good things about Allison!! She photographed our tiny 12-person pandemic wedding and was the only vendor we had for the day. She was beyond professional, so easy to work with, and really helped make our day feel special. She had great ideas about setting up our ceremony that we would have never thought of on our own (like where exactly to stand for vows, etc.). She made us all feel super comfortable in front of the camera and our families loved having her around. Best of all - the photos. Wow. Everyone who sees them says they can just feel the love radiating out of them. What a special memento of our wedding day. She captured the feeling of the day perfectly, and balanced a documentary style (non-invasively capturing sweet moments as they happened) plus really nice staged family pics that our moms loved and have already made the holiday cards! I can’t recommend Allison highly enough.”

My photography journey began in college with film. After moving from Pennsylvania to NYC, I fell in love with wedding and street photography while documenting daily life on 35mm. I brought my camera everywhere, observing how people interact and how moments unfold. Those years shaped the way I approach photographing couples and families today—with curiosity, patience, and a love for capturing real, unscripted moments.

“Look no further! Claire is, by far, the most professional and reasonably priced wedding photographer in the Tristate Area. She was recommended to me by a very close friend who is also a wedding photographer. Claire started out as her assistant, but assistant she is no more! She is great at what she does and is extremely personable. We met for a drink and within 1min I knew she was who we would go with. She is calm, organized, friendly and good at her job! What more could you ask for? Besides our wedding coordinator, Claire was the one who made our wedding happen. Her timelines and schedule helped the day move along smoothly, she made sure we took great sunset beach pictures and (thankfully) convinced me to do a first look so we didn't completely miss our cocktail hour. We had 260 guests, most of them being family members, which would not be an easy task for anyone. Claire was professional and helpful and somehow it all worked out perfectly. The turnaround was very quick; we were able to make Christmas cards out of pictures she took less than 2 months before. We are still using her website to order prints (which come out beautifully btw) and will continue to do so! We are so thankful that this part of our wedding turned out as amazing as it did. Photos can make or break a day, and ours was a homerun!”

Here are some other little factoids about me, if you're interested in getting to know me better: *I love animals and love working with them, and often donate services to great animal welfare causes. *I love all things vintage and antique, and feel that older things tell a fascinating and unique story.

“Sara Tro Photography is an absolute delight to work with! I own a venue and after seeing photos of Sara's past work, I added her to my preferred vendor list. Sara's photos truly took our breath away - she has such a unique eye for color, texture, and style that is so distinctive and memorable. I highly recommend talking to Sara about your wedding!”

I have always been in love with photography. The hard part in the beginning was turning it into a career. But through exploring the different types and genres of photography, I settled on portraiture with an editorial or story-based style. Weddings were the natural outlet for this interest. They are beautiful, fun, and I can be creative. There is an element of joy and excitement that I am drawn too. Every wedding is different, but they all have these qualities.

“Josh Baldo Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From our first interaction, his communication style was easy, comfortable and adjustable to our needs. The quality of Josh’s work was artistic and excellent. He delivered the photos in a timely manner as promised. On the day of our wedding, Josh moved with ease throughout the ceremony. He never drew attention to himself, and was able to capture all the special moments seamlessly. We are thrilled with the beautiful, vibrant photos that now allow us to relive our wedding day. We highly recommend Josh Baldo Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience.”

When I'm not behind the camera I'm hiking, fly fishing and doing yoga. I'll use any excuse to head north to the Adirondacks. (Eagle Bay donuts is my favorite incentive for a day trip.) I'm on my way to becoming a licensed yoga instructor. I'm obsessed with how my hair smells after a day in the woods. If you can relate, we'll probably be best friends. I live with my amazing fiancé, Alex, and we have two kids who are way cooler than we are. We also have FIVE cats and two dogs. I'm always down for a coffee date if you want to chat wedding details or hiking trails. I always want your dog to come to your engagement sessions.

“Booking Jen Pecka Photography for our wedding was one of the easiest and definitely one of the best decisions we made for our January wedding! From the moment we met, Jen made us feel super comfortable and confident in front of her camera. She shot both our engagement session as well as our big day and all of the photos came out absolutely GORGEOUS!!! She captured every single detail of our wedding beautifully. As we looked through our wedding photos for the first time, we were able to relive the best day of our lives. Jen not only captures special moments, but the genuine emotions of those being photographed. All of our photos are STUNNING, I am having a very difficult time choosing favorites to print and hang in our home. Trust Jen Pecka Photography to capture your wedding day, you will not regret it!”

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 are so glad we went with Emma Cleary for our wedding photography. As a type-A bride, who was planning a wedding across the country from where I lived, I needed a photographer who was organized and communicative; and Emma did not disappoint. From the get-go, Emma provided us with a Google Doc with all of the relevant information, including what shot lists we'd need (as well as examples, so we know what she required from us), and was always quick to reply to any of my questions. On the day, we had the pleasure of working with Asya and Konrad, and both my husband and I had the best time. As expected, you spend a lot of time taking pictures on your wedding day, so having a team that you like and trust to bring out the best makes a huge difference. They both took such good care of us; guiding us and making sure we were comfortable all through the day, while also getting the most gorgeous shots. We are so happy with the results - the pictures were touched-up PERFECTLY - and we truly could not recommend Emma Cleary more.”

The quality of her work is truly meticulous - the photos have a light and airy, bright, happy, and vivid look that perfectly captured the joy of our special day, which is exactly what we asked her for. As two people who had never had professional photos done, Alicia did a great job in helping us feel comfortable in front of the camera starting with our engagement shoot and carrying over to our wedding day. She kept everything easy and on track while helping to calm our nerves on the big day. She was great working with our families and wedding party- from our two year old nephew to our grandparents.

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

“Portraits by Sean was truly a blessing from the Lord for our wedding! Sean was professional, proactive, and communicative from the start, and approached our day with such care, kindness, and intentionality—it was clear he sees his work as a calling, not just a job. He’s not just a photographer—he’s a storytelling artist. He beautifully captured the love, joy, and sacredness of what God was doing in our covenant, and how special it was to share that day with our loved ones. His photos bring those moments back so vividly. He was flexible, kind, and truly a joy to work with. The quality of his work is unmatched—truly high-caliber. We thank God for him and will cherish these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!”

My husband and I come as a photo team! We feel your day should be captured your way! So we tailor our style and editing to each unique couple! It’s not about us, it’s about you. We will help you document what is most important to you, the way you envision! Just like you, we have felt awkward in front of the camera. We’ve had photos taken of us that we didn’t like. We will make sure you not only feel comfortable, but that you look good! We give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable.

“Where do I even begin with this incredible team... I wish I could give a million stars. We have not stopped talking about Lacie and her husband Tim since our wedding day on 9/26/26, and any conversation about that perfect day eventually circles back to the absolute BLESSING we found in these two. As photographers, they do many things extraordinarily well, but I'll touch on two: first, they are true artists and masters of their craft. I have never met a more in-sync, organized and passionate duo in ANY industry. The lighting, the editing, the colors, the preparation, the posing, the angles... all of the things that make an image BEAUTIFUL and make your photoshoot experience fun and easy, they have absolutely perfected. But secondly (and in my opinion, most importantly), they are natural curators of joyful and special moments. Their happiness for you is pure and infectious, and it translates into photos that are still, yet somehow feel alive. If it's important for you to look at your wedding photos and not only enjoy their visual beauty, but also re-experience all of the feelings and joy and emotions behind them, you have found your team. Lacie and Tim, as stressful as wedding planning was, we would do it all again for another opportunity to work with you. You two are true gems, not as vendors, not as photographers, but as two people who love each other, love what they do and love the people in front of the camera as well. Thank you for going above and beyond for us, we will never forget how special you made our wedding day!!!”
