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.

Awarded Best of Zola
It was such a pleasure to have Molly photograph our wedding! She did an amazing job, was pleasant to work with, and took beautiful photos. She did her best to accommodate our every request, even when our wedding went a bit off schedule. She was friendly, answered all of our questions, and incorporated our ideas into the photos. It seemed like she was everywhere at once and managed to capture all of the right moments. I would highly recommend her as an excellent photographer for any occasion.

I’m Kristin aka Kal... I live in a beautiful but hard to identify area just north of the Catskills and south of Albany, east of Oneonta and Cooperstown.

I love EVERYTHING about a wedding day; the anticipation, the joy, the laughter, the happy tears, and the simple fact that everyone you know is gathered to celebrate with you. I have had the honor of celebrating with so many couples and friends and family and it gives me so much joy. I want you to have the BEST day!! So tell me about your loves, your plans, and let’s start telling your story!

Kristin was AMAZING! Our wedding pictures came out absolutely stunning, I’m obsessed with them, and the photos are even more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Kristin is also so friendly, kind, and is great with her communication. The pictures are just amazing. Before working with Kristin, my husband and I were definitely camera shy, but she made us feel so comfortable during our engagement shoot that we felt ready for the wedding. I highly recommend Kristin!

She went above and beyond and can’t thank her enough for a lifetime of memories captured. :-)

Love is what motivates and inspires me every single day. I am a hopeless romantic, and absolutely love every sentimental moment of a wedding. I strive to capture real moments, genuine smiles, and raw emotion.

Jenna was absolutely the best decision we made in the entire wedding process. Not only does she produce incredible work but she also has the most amazing aura about her. On a very busy and bustling day, she remained calm and brought a light hearted fun energy. It truly feels like one of your best friends is taking your photos. It was exactly what I needed on that day. I feel so very blessed that we had Jenna as our photographer. The number of compliments I have received on our photos is CRAZY and that is all thanks to Jenna. I would recommend Jenna to literally everyone that I know! Her work is beautiful, her energy is amazing, and she is so organized. What more could a bride want?! Do yourself a favor and book Jenna!

Working with Rob Spring Photography was by far one of the best and easiest decisions we made for our wedding. From our first initial call with Rob, we could tell we were in good hands. We worked with Sarah as our photographer and within minutes of the first time meeting her at our engagement shoot, we were laughing and totally at ease - even with our little 8 pound dog along for the ride. On our wedding day, Sarah arrived with assistant Colton and instantly went to work making our day so special. We took photos all over the entire venue, laughing and joking around the whole time. The huge smiles on our faces in our photos are proof of how much fun we had. Our entire bridal party and both of our families couldn't stop raving about how professional and fun she was to work with.

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.

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.

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.

She truly has a talent for capturing all the special moments that make a wedding day so unique and meaningful.

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.

We 1000000% recommend Jaci for any of your photography needs! She took our engagement photos and shot our wedding last weekend and she is an absolute DREAM to work with. Her confidence, poise, warmth and positivity helped us stay calm and have fun during the busy wedding day. We heard so many compliments from our loved ones who were also so impressed with her attitude and demeanor. And this is all before we saw the photos: her work is UNREAL. We are truly blown away- they are stunning, and capture the JOY and FUN and LOVE we experienced. I get emotional looking at just the sneak peek gallery because it so beautifully memorializes what it felt like on that day, and now we can share it with our grandparents who couldn't make the journey, and ourselves for decades to come. HIRE JACI!!!

Capturing love in every color of the rainbow, Kristen Renee Photography is here to celebrate your unique story. From Albany to anywhere your love takes you, we specialize in documenting authentic moments for all couples and families.

Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the harder parts of planning for us — we weren’t really sure what to look for and didn’t know much about photography. But from the very first phone call with Kristen, it was instantly clear that she was the one. She’s incredibly organized, knows weddings inside and out, and yet somehow keeps everything feeling laid-back and easy. She made us feel relaxed and taken care of through every step. Our engagement shoot was effortless, fun, and genuinely one of our favorite memories. Kristen has this amazing way of making you feel like you’ve known her for years — warm, calm, and completely present. On our wedding day, Kristen and Sheridan worked together seamlessly. They made everyone feel comfortable, blended right in with our families and wedding party, and brought such positive energy. Kristen was familiar with our venue and knew exactly where to go for the best light and most beautiful backdrops — including places we had no idea even existed, like the rooftop and an incredible hidden attic. She coordinated with the venue team like a total pro and even helped me put in my veil! Shooting our Couple’s portraits with them was one of the most unexpectedly special parts of the day. Kristen and Sheridan made us feel like actual models while keeping it authentic and fun. There was something so meaningful about being photographed by a married couple who clearly love and support each other — it made the whole experience even more emotional and memorable. The photos? Breathtaking. Every single moment — from the big ones to the quiet in-betweens — was captured beautifully. We truly don’t know how they do it. Kristen and Sheridan will always hold a special place in our hearts, and we can’t recommend them highly enough. Do yourself a favor and book them — it’ll be one of the best decisions you make!

Hello, new friend! I'm Rebecca. I'm a journalist who fell in love with taking pictures and documenting love. I'm also enthusiastically lgbtq+ friendly, body-positive, delighted by DIY and pro making-it-up-as-you-go. Let's celebrate your love, your way. I have to be up front about a few things. First, I'm probably going to make friends with your grandma, and even shake it while taking photos on the dance floor. Oh, and if your pet is involved in your wedding, I might pass out from joy. I will almost definitely get a little teary-eyed during your vows, but don't worry... I can take pictures and cry at the same time.

Rebecca really made us feel at ease so that we could have the best photos possible. She took into account our desire to have photos of everyone with the bride and groom from the receiving line and really captured all the special touches that made our day unique. She brings a positive energy and great ideas and I couldn't recommend her highly enough!

Creativity has played a role in my life ever since I was a little girl. I grew up in upstate NY loving the outdoors and being close to the mountains! Although I loved where I grew up, when I graduated high school I decided to move South to Georgia to pursue a degree. While studying Fine Arts at the Savannah College of Art and Design, I fell in love with photography. I received my B.F.A in photography and then moved back home to NY where I became busy photographing weddings.

Meghan shot our summer camp wedding in September of 2023 and did an amazing job! We asked Meghan to come early to our wedding to capture our guests enjoying the various camp activities and the pictures came out fantastic! Her attention to detail and photographic composition skills are great and her photos really tell the story of our special day. As a testament to the previous statement, we had a full moon and clear sky on our wedding night and Meghan had the idea to get a shot of us together under the moonlight which made for a fantastic picture!

I got my start at a luxury wedding studio in NYC in 2014, shooting weddings in all of the city's classic venues. In 2021, I decided to make some changes to move my business in a more boutique direction and relocate to the Catskills. I aim to bring the same attention to detail and professionalism from the NYC luxury market to my clients in the Catskills and beyond. My style leans more classic to ensure that your wedding photos will be heirlooms and stand the test of time, despite how many fun prevalent trends are making waves on social media at any given time.

We spent a long time looking for photographers. It was probably our most challenging vendor to agree on, until we found Erin. When we met Erin, we loved her aesthetic and her vibe. We especially appreciated how she captured her subjects both formally and with candid shots. She was professional easy to work with, but also fun and disarming. She understood our vision on the first call and contributed really exciting and inspirational ideas on how to capture our day, but also spent time with us to get a sense of our quirks and sense of humor. By the time our wedding day came, she folded right in with our friends and family and was able to seamlessly run through the important family photos we had planned. She worked really well with our other vendors and brought fun and levity to the day. What we really appreciated was that she would remind us of the schedule and what we originally decided on, but on the day was able to easily flex based on how the day was flowing. Some of our favorite photos so far are the ones that were planned on the fly when we decided we wanted to change things up and spend more time with our family. Erin also sent us 10 beautiful photos within a couple days after the wedding, which allowed us to celebrate our day with our broader friend and family communities within days of our wedding. It was a special touch that we hadn’t expected - just like all the others we had come to appreciate during the planning process.

  • Serves Ballston Spa, NY

I am a portrait photographer specializing in weddings and engagements, families, high school seniors, and Bar and Bat Mitzvahs. I was born and raised in upstate NY by two artists before moving to Arizona, where I attended ASU and started my family. My husband and I have been together for more than 27 years and have five beautiful children, and it is through my love for them that my photography was born. In 2013, I went from being a stay at home mom to owning my own business, and I hit the ground running.

Hiring Kerensa as our wedding photographer was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our big day. From the very beginning, she made us feel comfortable and cared for, taking the time to learn about our style, priorities, and even the little details we didn’t know we wanted captured. On the day of the wedding, she was an absolute pro—organized, calm, and somehow everywhere at once without ever being intrusive. The photos are nothing short of stunning. Kerensa has a gift for capturing not just beautiful portraits, but the raw, in-between moments that tell the real story—laughter, tears, nerves, and all the joy. Every image feels timeless, full of warmth, and so true to who we are. Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again, and that is priceless. Beyond her obvious talent, Kerensa brought such a kind, steady presence. She guided us when we needed direction, but also gave us space to be ourselves. Many of our guests even commented on how wonderful she was to be around. If you’re looking for a photographer who blends artistry with heart, look no further—Kerensa is truly exceptional. We are forever grateful for the memories she captured and couldn’t recommend her more highly.

I am a big believer in making your wedding day ALL. ABOUT. YOU. Crazy, right?! It's so, so important for you to NOT STRESS, and I am here to help ease any and all of it. I pride myself on my empathy, and I want you to trust in me for the hour, two hours, or 10 hours we may be together. It's a sure bet that when you work with me, we will have a blast + get the best photographs you could've ever imagined.

We have used Clare for both our wedding and first anniversary photos. We could not have asked for anyone better. Clare is bubbly and willing to work with you and do whatever YOU want. If you need ideas, she will help you find your vision. As a resident of Buffalo we love our Buffalo bills photographer and are willing to travel 4 hours to get those perfect pics!
