Awarded Best of Zola
I was pretty nervous about being photographed on my wedding day, especially because it was my first time with a professional. But the second Dani arrived and the day started rolling, I magically forgot my nerves and just felt so AMAZING and present and silly and myself! Dani was so calm and so sweet and knew exactly what to do and where to shoot and how to pose us all, even though it was her first time meeting a lot of us, and she had never been to our backyard before. It was so cool! She really connected with us all and made me and my now husband feel so comfortable on our big day. Receiving our preview photos just 2 days after the wedding filled me with happiness and relief - I looked good! Lol!!! And, the spirit of the day was embedded in all the photos, crowned with perfect golden aesthetic. Wow. Seriously love them so much and have not stopped staring and am so glad we trusted Dani with capturing such an important day. She did it effortlessly and with great love and care and artistry. I highly HIGHLY recommend her 3

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!

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!

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!!

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.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Christopher Duggan Photography was exceptional in capturing our wedding day. His communication style was clear, easy, and warm throughout the entire process. The quality of the work and value was truly exceptional - Christopher and his team are incredibly talented photographers who have a knack for capturing real, artsy details and candid moments that showcase the uniqueness and beauty of our special day. As someone who is often less than thrilled to be in photos, I adore every single shot they took. Christopher and Danica were so embedded in our every moment, yet you had no idea they were there - that is true talent! We all felt completely at ease, and they helped us knock out family photos smoothly without any stress from upset flower girls or ring bearers. I wanted a not overly posed style but almost "lifestyle" and Christopher fit the bill perfectly. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience.

I first met Rob at my best friends wedding when he was their photographer. His energy was the best and he made us all laugh and have such a good time. When it was my turn to get married, I thought about how important your photographer was. Not just for their experience and skills of capturing moments but who they were as a person because frankly, you spend a good portion of your wedding day with that person. My husband and I knew that Rob was the right person for that. When we went to our engagement photos, I remember both us feeling nervous because we had no idea what to do! Does anyone know how to pose for pictures?? But Rob showed up and made all the worries disappear. We had SO much fun during the entire shoot and we never once worried about how we looked. He told us exactly what to do while making us laugh in the process. Josh was in awe of how Rob picks up on what seems like a small detail but will change the whole picture. Come the big day, Rob made sure that we were on time and got all the pictures we needed but also made sure that there was good vibe throughout the entire process. I think the pictures speak for themselves but nevertheless, I geeked out when I saw our sneak peek photos because they were just amazing. I could go on and on about how amazing Rob is. He made our special day that much better!

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

I met Thalia in a professional setting and after meeting her, we connected on social media and for YEARS I knew I wanted to work with her in some capacity (ideally my wedding :)). Fast forward to getting engaged this year, I had the opportunity to hire her to photograph our city hall wedding. The photographs were everything I imagined and more but what was even better was experiencing what being in front of her camera felt like. She truly has a gift for making you feel comfortable, forget that she’s there, while still providing guidance when needed. Thalia is quick on her feet and knew how to maximize our time with her when plans on our timeline had to shift a little. She asked important questions prior to our ceremony and offered great suggestions when we needed them. She also offered solutions when I got a little carried away with my vision and started dreaming up a photo shoot that would just push our time limits (which I appreciated). If you love her work and her images, I promise you won’t regret your decision of hiring her!

From the moment we connected, Magalie made us feel at ease, which was so important for us as we really wanted her to capture a mix of impromptu moments and posed photos. The session was incredibly fun, and the photos truly captured our personalities and the energy of the city. Magalie has an amazing eye for detail and was able to guide us in natural, effortless poses that resulted in breathtaking photos. Not only was the quality of the photos outstanding, but the entire experience was smooth, relaxed, and professional. Magalie was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, and the turnaround time for the photos was as promised! Would highly recommend any engaged couples work with Magalie!

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Nicole Lagoe Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Lake Placid, NY

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

My husband and I worked with Nicole for our wedding this past June, and it was one of the best wedding-related decisions we made. Nicole is communicative, easy going, and a joy to be around. She is super thorough and will be sure to get all the shots you want. We had a fairly large group for family photos, and Nicole coordinated everything seamlessly. She really took care of everything so I could just focus on having fun! I would 100% work with Nicole again in the future, and highly recommend working with her for your event. Our experience was so great that my brother and his fiancé will be working with Nicole for their wedding next summer!

Sweet Alice Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Lake Placid, NY

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. ✨

The day we met with Erica, we knew she was the right choice! She was booked for our date already, but she highly recommended Amanda as lead photographer who is part of her Sweet Alice Studios Team and Erica then edits the photos! I cannot stress how superb Erica’s communication style is; she is quick to respond to emails and with kindness every time. You can tell how much she cares about her clients and how much she truly loves her job! She was essential for creating our timeline and her professional wisdom was so helpful throughout the process! We met with Amanda for our engagement shoot and hit it off immediately! She was so helpful for two people who are shy in front of the camera, and she truly captured our personalities with ease! We met with Amanda 2 weeks or so before the wedding to talk through our wants and to give us some guidance on some details. On the wedding day Amanda and second photographer Debbie were wonderful!! They arrived early, were open to any and all last-minute photo ideas, and available when we needed them. They were a perfect mix of calm and joyous throughout the whole day! So kind and efficient, they allowed us to really soak in the little moments on our wedding day. My husband even mentioned that Amanda gave him a little pep talk accompanied by some tissues prior to the ceremony and later she gave us the biggest hug after our first dance (which he had been so anxious about!). The team genuinely makes you feel seen, heard, and like we had some extra friends on our big day there to support us. Some of our favorite shots are little unposed moments that captured the authentic joy our day gave us! Then we got about 100 sneak-peek photos within 3 days of our wedding date (mind you the team had at least 3 weddings that weekend) and we were totally blown away! The vividness of the Fall foliage was STUNNING. My friends/family raved about our photos, and I cannot wait to hang prints of them all over our house! I am recommending Sweet Alice to any bride I cross paths with because this team is just that good!
