Awarded Best of Zola
We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we first reached out to Jessica, the experience was easy and comfortable. She was quick to respond to all of our questions and made us feel at ease throughout the entire process. Our wedding day went off without a hitch, as she helped us create and stick to a schedule, making certain that everything moved seamlessly. Jessica and her assistant created a comfortable environment, ensuring that everyone was comfortable having fun (or at least pretending to laugh at her dad jokes). It truly felt like she was just there to celebrate us as a couple and our marriage, while take a few pictures along the way. The photos captured were not only beyond amazing, but also had a cozy, loving, and just genuine quality that perfectly reflected us and our day. Jessica has become more than just our wedding photographer - she's a new friend that we're so grateful to have been able to share this experience with.

Lisa was absolutley incredible to work with. From our first phone call I knew she was someone I'd be friends with. She is down to earth, funny and obviously knows what she is doing. Lisa communicated clearly with us and set up multiple meetings and phone calls and answered every text I sent in a timely manner. On our wedding day she was simply amazing. She helped me get dressed and probably did my bustle for me at least 5 times. She kept the mood light and fun and worked so efficiently we were able to enjoy our cocktail hour. I cannot recommend her enough. We just got our sneak peeks back and I am obsessed!

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

Awarded Best of Zola
One of our very close friends is a wedding photographer, so when we started planning our own wedding, we asked her for advice on picking a photographer since she would be a guest at ours. She sent us several recommendations of different photographers and different styles, but as soon as we saw Erica's work, we were hooked! Since then, we became so close with her because she is so kind and dedicated to making every step of the wedding journey special and exactly what we wanted. We got our photos back so quickly and we still can't stop looking at them! She helped the entire day run smoothly and now we have such beautiful memories that will last us our lifetimes. We would book Erica again in a heartbeat and do the whole thing again if we could!

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
Kathryn has been a friend of mine for 20 years, so I've been following her growing business and incredible adventures around the globe for a long time. When I got engaged, I knew exactly who I wanted to do our engagement and wedding photos! Not only is she fantastic to work with, she loves opportunities for creativity and "outside the box" moments. I loved the idea of playing with light at night, so she found a color-changing light device to create incredible backgrounds for our night photos! I also loved that we hardly knew she and her second were there during the ceremony. She's sneaky and still gets the most beautiful photos! I cannot recommend my beautiful friend enough, especially if you're looking for someone LGBTQ friendly! Unfortunately, Google is not letting me upload photos, but please check out her website to see samples of her amazing work!

We’re Hudson Valley and Catskills wedding photographers who specialize in intimate celebrations filled with connection and emotion. Our focus is on real moments, beautiful light, and photos that feel like you. Whether you’re planning a cozy backyard wedding or an adventurous elopement in the mountains, we’ll capture it with care and creativity.

We couldn’t have been happier with the quality of Megan and Kenneth’s work. From the engagement shoot through the wedding, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They’re great at taking direction if you have requests but are also assertive and creative in setting up poses and backdrops. Having two photographers resulted in TONS of shots and adequate getting ready time with both bride and groom. They’re also the nicest people and delivered the photos promptly. Our friends and family were floored by how beautiful our photos are. Definitely recommend!

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

If I have a camera in my hands, then I am most definitely smiling. Photography has been my passion since I was a teenager and I love bringing that passion to weddings. I strive to capture all the intimate details that make a wedding truly personal. Don't be surprised if you see me crying during the parent dances, it's one of my favorite moments :)

Awarded Best of Zola
Sarah is firstly a gifted artist and photographer. As you can see she understands space and color in a way that my wife and I clearly do not but more importantly she understands what makes a moment feel special. We asked Sarah to deliver a documentary style wedding experience and she did not fail. When my wife and I chose Sarah, she immediately got to work helping us to plan our wedding day in a way that you might not necessarily expect from a wedding photographer. Sarah was so personal and friendly on the day of our wedding, it felt more like we had a friend taking our pictures as a favor. However, the finished products speak for themselves: our friends and family celebrating, iconic moments of the day, and our love clearly shown throughout. Sarah delivered organization, artistry, and value in a comprehensive package that can’t be beat.

Caitlinn pays close attention to the small details, from the way we held hands to the expressions on our guests' faces, bringing every precious memory to life in her photos. I first met Caitlinn when she was the photographer for my best friend's wedding, which happened to be on one of the coldest days of the year. I’ll never forget Caitlinn’s energy and enthusiasm—despite the chill, she was a warm and positive presence, making everyone feel comfortable and excited. After that, I knew she would be the perfect choice for our wedding as well. We booked Caitlinn for our engagement photos, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Our friends and family couldn’t stop raving about how stunning the photos were! She even joined us on a cold winter hike, creating such a relaxed and fun atmosphere that I told my husband afterward, “I want to be friends with her.” That’s how wonderful she is! On our wedding day, Caitlinn made me feel absolutely incredible. She was professional, timely, and brought a sense of calm and joy that made the day even more special. Caitlinn is so efficient that we received our sneak peek photos the very next day, and they were breathtaking! Despite shooting two weddings after ours, she had all our photos to us within three weeks—unbelievable! I cannot recommend Caitlinn highly enough. Not only is she incredibly talented and attentive to every detail, but she is also the kind of person you want to have around on your special day. Her warmth and positivity light up the room, and we are beyond grateful to have had her as our photographer.

I'm married to the most amazing man and together we hike, travel, eat a lot of Chinese food, and watch WAY too many Friends reruns (which explains my crazy love for coffee). I'm also a fur-mom to the two most adorable (and spoiled) little fur-babies, Levi and Chloe. The more you get to know me, you’ll realize how much I love the simple moments of life and to make the most of it all!

Carroll captured our elopement in Grand Teton National Park. Seriously, she's absolutely amazing! Carroll has this incredible attention to detail that truly sets her apart. From the moment we met up with her, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease. It was like hanging out with a friend rather than posing for photos. She helped us scout out the most beautiful spots for pictures weeks leading up to the wedding and was so easy to communicate with. What impressed us the most was how she prioritized our wants and needs. She made sure to communicate with our family members in a professional and respectful way to ensure we got all the pictures we wanted. Carroll truly went the extra mile to make our day special. We're so grateful for her expertise and the breathtaking photos and memories she captured for us. If you're ever in need of a photographer, I highly recommend Carroll. She's absolutely the best!

I grew up in Amagansett, NY, one town away from Montauk, hanging out at the ocean, riding horses, and photographing my plastic Breyer horse models in different scenarios with my little crappy film camera, always searching for the perfect light. I have since moved on to photographing people with better equipment and I still always search for that perfect light. I now live in the lovely Hudson Valley after a long stint in NYC and Brooklyn where I trained under fashion and editorial photographers before starting my own photography business almost 20 years ago. Full disclosure, I'm a little scared of the ocean.

Cappy Hotchkiss Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first connected, their communication style was friendly, responsive, and clear. They took the time to understand our vision and made sure we felt at ease throughout the entire process. The quality of their work is truly exceptional - their photos have a nostalgic, natural, and emotional quality that perfectly captured the spirit of our special day. Cappy's skill and creativity shone through, even in the challenging backgrounds of our intimate venue in Greenport. They beautifully documented every moment, from the getting ready shots to the ceremony and reception. The final images are timeless, memorable, and absolutely perfect. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Cappy Hotchkiss Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Kristen is everything my husband and I dreamed of for a photographer--professional, talented, and an absolute joy to be around! We had a small wedding ceremony at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery with specific monuments in mind for the photos, and she gave us directed our poses to bring our vision to life. Within a few days, Kristen sent us a sneak peek and the images were stunning and more beautiful than we could have imagined. Taking wedding photos can be awkward (what do you do with your hands?!), but Kristen really made it such a comfortable and memorable experience. It was more like catching up with an old friend and laughing non stop. Go and book Little But Fierce Photography immediately!

Ahh you made it this far and I am so happy that you are here. Come get to know me a little bit better… I am a Hudson Valley photographer who occasionally dips their toes in NJ too. Having fun and capturing special moment with your loved ones and families is what makes my day. I am a girl mom to my favorite tiny human RyRy and a fire fighters’ wife and when you don’t see me behind a camera or working my full-time job as a graphic designer, I am usually soaking up the sun at the beach or outdoors doing something fun with my family.

We cannot recommend Katie enough! From the moment we reached out for our wedding photography, they were incredibly responsive, professional, and genuinely excited about our big day. On the wedding day, Katie was a calming presence amidst the whirlwind of planning and emotions. They blended seamlessly into our celebration, capturing candid moments that we will cherish forever. The way they interacted with our guests made everyone feel at ease, which translated into the most natural and beautiful photos. The final gallery blew us away! Each image was thoughtfully composed, with stunning attention to detail. They perfectly captured the essence of the day—from the emotional vows to the joyous dancing—and we were astonished by the quality and creativity in every shot. We also appreciated Katie’s ability to stick to our timeline while remaining flexible and adapting to the day’s flow. Their artistic vision truly shone through, and we received countless compliments on our photos. If you’re looking for a talented, dedicated, and friendly wedding photographer, look no further than **Katie Ellen Photography** . They truly have a gift for storytelling through their lens, and we are so grateful to have had them as part of our special day! Thank you, Katie, for giving us memories we will treasure for a lifetime!

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras, flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

Working with Nina was an absolute dream. At our engagement shoot, I told her right away that I’m incredibly awkward in front of the camera and needed direction — and like the pro she is, she immediately made us feel comfortable, confident, and totally ourselves. On the wedding day, when things ran a little behind during the getting-ready chaos, Nina handled everything with such calm professionalism. She seamlessly adjusted the timeline, eased the nerves in the room, and somehow kept the entire day flowing effortlessly. Every photo tells a story — not just of how things looked, but how they felt. She captured the laughter, the happy tears, and all the tiny in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her eye for detail and ability to find magic in the ordinary is unmatched. She went above and beyond — fixing little details, offering gentle direction, and somehow being everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. When we saw our gallery, we were completely floored. The images are timeless, emotional, and truly us. If you’re lucky enough to have Nina capture your day, you’re not just getting stunning photos — you’re getting her art, her heart, and memories that will last a lifetime.

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

From the moment we first spoke with Sam, we knew immediately we found our wedding photographer. Booking her was the first and best decision we made in our entire planning process. She also shot our engagement session, which was a fantastic way to get comfortable in front of her camera and got us even more excited for her to photograph our wedding day. Sam's vivacious energy is truly infectious; she is the coolest person in the room and someone you instantly want to be friends with. This warmth and enthusiasm translate into her ability to make anyone feel comfortable and authentic behind the lens. She has an innate talent for capturing the very essence of every moment without making anything seem forced or posed. Beyond her incredible photography skill, she is a master of organization and execution. She was an incredible director when it came to herding family and friends for group shots, keeping everyone on track without ever losing her magnetic cheerfulness, and she had my dress bustled in under 60 seconds! She was always ready to do whatever it took to make sure we got the best shots. The photo album we recieved absolutely blew us away. She got every shot we wanted and then some and truly captured every beautiful moment of the day. We will without a doubt cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. We wholeheartedly recommend Sam to any couple looking for a photographer who is both a master of her craft and an absolute joy to be around!
