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!

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!!

Jordan photographed our wedding in Lake Placid and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He is skilled, knowledgeable, a true Adirondack gem! We first contacted Jordan after seeing his work on Instagram. The quality and style of his images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. He has an incredible creative eye! After a video meeting with him, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. Every communication reminded me that he cared and listened! With so many details that one has to remember at a wedding, some details can easily be missed, BUT not Jordan! On our wedding day, he was able to deliver everything we asked for and was executed beautifully and with ease! Our photos are beyond beautiful! The final photos are pure magic! Full of candid shots but also modern and timeless! But what truly impressed us was the incredibly fast turnaround. We had our sneak peek within a day and our full gallery in less than 2 weeks! We can't thank Jordan enough! He is a true professional and amazing at what he does! BOOK him and you will never regret it! Our family is already looking forward to going back to Lake Placid and having a family session with him sometime in the near future!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Sean and I got married at the Blue Water Manor in June 2024. We are from northern NJ and took a chance on each of our vendors through their portfolios and online reviews. Jason went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from our photographer. Since we were from out of the area we had multiple phone calls to discuss timelines and specifics really helping us think of everything. Even met with us the week of to walk through the venue and other places we wanted to take photos, just rolling with it and helping us get exactly what we wanted. Nothing could have prepared us for the crappy weather we had the day of the wedding but Jason put a smile on with us and braved it. Never complained about how soaked he probably got and just did everything possible to help us have the best day. And we did. Every single one of our guests commented on lucky we were to have a photographer like him watching him in action and our photos speak to that. Even though our wedding day has come and gone we would still book Jason time and time again.

I'll be your personal cheerleader and the third wheel you never knew you needed! You can bet I'll be saying "PERFECT" more times than you can count. And honestly, I might even add an extra dramatic gasp or two. Get ready for a fun, stress free experience filled with laughs, high fives, and lots of "PERFECT" moments that will have you smiling for years to come.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Nichole and how perfect she is. Not only is she phenomenal at her job- providing outstanding and breathtaking pictures- but she is a phenomenal PERSON. We had Nichole for our engagement pictures which turned out beautifully, so we had the bar set high and she somehow exceeded those expectations!! She ensured things were moving seamlessly at my wedding (outside of her job scope and did that multiple times without prompting because she’s just a team player) and ensured I was hydrated, fed, and that my bridezilla wasn’t coming out (and it didn’t because of her). She went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were having a great time on our day and, honestly, just looked out for us because she genuinely cares. She also took such good care of my son, my beagle. Also, my husband and I can sometimes get awkward when pictures are being taken of us, but Nichole is so warm and personable that we relaxed right away, and it almost felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend. Those pictures, both from our engagement session and our wedding, came out beautifully. We recently received sneak peeks and they knocked us off our feet. We cannot wait to see more! We will be using her in the future without question for all of our special events. Do not hesitate- book Nichole. She IS the best out there.

Photography for people who dread being photographed. With 15+ years specializing in camera-shy couples, I've learned that your wedding is not a generic fantasy from the interne, it's a legacy. The industry pushes couples to perform for the camera, but when you already feel awkward being photographed, that pressure can erase the real, unscripted story of your people. My approach is built for humans who hate being photographed. I create an experience that melts stiffness and anxiety so the raw, honest truth of your connection shows up and the story of everyone who matters is protected.

Cass is seriously AMAZING! We did our engagement, rehearsal and wedding photos with her and we couldn’t have asked for better pictures, we were blown away. In addition to the great photos, Cass is the absolute best to work with. Prior to the wedding, she went above and beyond to make me feel supported with all my questions and requests. I knew we were in great hands after our engagement shoot but she didn’t stop proving that the entire duration of the time leading up to our wedding. She also went out of her way by hiking with us to our first look location and by working non-stop with us to get the perfect shots of our pup. She is so fun and has a great way of making everyone feel comfortable. I had members of both the bridal party and wedding guests approach me and express how much they loved Cass. Do yourself a favor and book Cass for your next shoot, she definitely exceeded our expectations and is so fun to work with!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were very pleased with Kyla! She was so willing to adapt to our changes as the weather dictated. As an older couple , we didn’t feel the need to have every traditional shot .. we wanted candid shots of our family enjoying themselves along with our tiny ceremony. She blended into the background to accomplish just that and thought quickly on her feet to notice a break in the weather to get outdoor group shots and some of us by our boat . We were definitely too involved in the enjoyment of the day to look for those opportunities and we are so glad she was on it ! We love the photo memories she has created for us and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a photographer for their event!

I turned a passion into a business back in 2013 with the goal of being able to continue working, and stay home with my children as much as possible. (My husband’s idea actually, not mine *thanks babe.) We have two hooligan’s now that keep us quite busy and always on our toes. We’ve built our family here in the North Country and love it! The kids specifically love the cows behind our back yard.

Chelsea is one of my favorite vendors to work with. With my job being very difficult as a wedding planner, she does a wonderful job doing her own job without me having to stay on her. She always considers my thoughts and feelings before making any big decisions on a wedding day. She's always professional and puts the bride and grooms wants first. I look forward to the next event I get to work with Chelsea on :)

Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.
