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. It’s close to where I grew up and where my family lives in the Catskills. 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!

Tasha Hurley photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,900
  • Serves Niskayuna, NY

I’m Tasha, a photographer with a documentary approach and a background in fine art. I work with both digital and film, including Super 8, to create images that are honest, atmospheric, and full of texture. My focus is on real moments—capturing the energy, connection, and feeling of a day without over-directing. Inspired by visual culture and storytelling, I aim to make work that feels personal and lasting.

Using Tasha Hurley Photography was the best choice I could've made when picking my wedding photographer!! Not only was she extremely easy to communicate with but also connected with us as a couple and understood our vibe immediately! We communicated our photography style wishes and Tasha ran with it and photographed our vision beyond what i could've imagined. I appreciated her flexibility and timeliness which created a very stress free and fun environment when taking photos. As we did a courthouse wedding, she also was our witness which was an extra bonus! We received a sneak peek very quickly after the wedding and knew we made the right choice - she even gave some editting options to make sure our photos were exactly like we wanted. The final photos looked amazing and I still can't get over them! If you are looking for someone who you can connect with you on a deeper level, has an eye for details and capturing all the perfect moments - Tasha Hurley Photography is the best person for the job.

My husband and I could not be more pleased with Molly! She was super friendly and easy to work with for our beach wedding. Molly did such a wonderful job during our special day and really went above and beyond to capture all the little moments! The photos are absolutely beautiful, we are beyond happy with how all of them turned out. She gave us the gift of reliving our wedding day every time we look at these photos, which is such an incredible thing because it’s true the day goes by way too quickly.

Becky Miller Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900

After nearly a dozen years of photographing feature stories, covers, and events for a statewide labor union, I found a passion for capturing beautiful moments for families and couples in a candid, photo-journalistic style. In June of 2021, I had the immense privilege of photographing twenty-four weddings - and an engagement! - for Beekman 1802's "Let Love Bloom" wedding marathon in Sharon Springs, NY, and fell in love with wedding photography. It's an honor to document a couple's love story - each one completely different than the last.

We are soo lucky to have connected with Becky for our wedding photography. As a couple on a budget with no experience in front of a camera, Becky made it easy to feel natural and delivered beyond what we could have imagined. Becky was by far our favorite vendor to work with. She's totally responsive, cool, and has a great approach to capturing authentic, beautiful photos. Our engagement session was so fantastic, and our wedding album has totally blown us away- every time I look I find another wonderful moment captured. It's hard to narrow down a few good examples since there are literally hundreds of gems! Guests commented how kind Becky was and anybody who has seen our engagement or wedding photos agree they are gorgeous. We've already had three couples ask for us to pass along her contact info! Thank you so much Becky for giving us memories that will last a lifetime and beyond! :) It wouldn't have been the same without you.

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
I cannot GUSH enough about Becca. She was hands down the MVP of our wedding day. In the midst of wedding planning busyness, Becca led a thorough meeting with us (the couple) going over the day-of schedule, and covering an exhaustive comprehensive list of all possible photos, helping us prioritize the ones we needed and letting go of those that may have ended up stressing us out to try to take! She made sure to be sensitive to all our hopes for photos, family dynamics, and more. I (the bride) was sick on the wedding day and had to make some adjustments to the day-of schedule, and Becca not only adjusted with such grace and flexibility, but also offered great game-time ideas to make sure we got all the photos we wanted with even less time! During the wedding, Becca stayed even longer than scheduled, was so patient but commanding with getting family photos organized, and stayed in the background throughout the day even though she was right by my (the bride!) side getting the best candid photos. That way, I was able to feel supported AND even more relaxed, she was so nimble, positive, and masterful. As I’ve said since the beginning of working with her, she is simply the BEST.

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.

Bridget Caitlin was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. From the moment we met, her fun, energetic and kind communication style put us at ease. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are bright, crisp and truly capture all the special moments. Bridget was such a friendly face to have on our wedding day, working seamlessly to manage our crazy timeline and bring our vision to life. The photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely stunning, and we're so grateful to have had Bridget as our photographer. She was so fun and nice throughout the entire process!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Sydney K Andrew Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From our first interaction, she was timely, thoughtful and kind in their communication, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of our wedding, Sydney went above and beyond, providing not just amazing, ethereal and timeless photography, but also offering invaluable support and assistance whenever we needed it. She truly has a talent for capturing all the special moments that make a wedding day so unique and meaningful. We are thrilled with the final photos and couldn't recommend Sydney more highly to any couple looking for an exceptional wedding photographer.

Tom was an amazing photographer! From the first day that we had a Zoom conference with him, we knew he would be a good fit for us. Communication was clear throughout the entire process (from our engagement photos to our wedding day photos) and he was always friendly and personable. He showed up on time for our wedding and worked well with everyone in our wedding party as well as our family members. He knew how to make us laugh and was more than a welcome guest on our special day. We are so happy to have found Tom in our search for a wedding photographer and could not be happier with the results.

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!!!

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.

JB Photography was the absolute best to work with! From the very first zoom call, Jenna’s energy, experience and passion were so clear. She is creative, thoughtful and detail-oriented - from making us feel at ease during our engagement photoshoot (the first time we ever did a “formal” shoot as a couple), through expertly navigating the wedding day timeline ensuring that every moment was captured, Jenna made sure that every detail was covered. When we received all of our photos we were blown away by how she and her team captured everything, from the smallest detail to the full group shots, in such beautiful and creative ways. Now the hard part - choosing our favorites (which we know Jenna will beautifully layout in an album which we’ll cherish forever)!

From NY to TX, then back again... I started my photography adventure 10 years ago in a small studio in upstate, New York. Since then, I've traveled across the country, taking pictures the entire time. I've captured a lifetime of memories in pictures, and now, I hope I can do the same for you! I specialize in weddings and portraiture, with experience in real estate photography as well! I love helping my customers make memories to cherish for years to come.

These ladies are so sweet, fun, and incredibly talented. Not only were they positive energy and good vibes during the girls' only getting ready process, they were such a joy to have around all day! Outside of a few standard portraits, and a couple ceremony specific shots, we gave them some general thoughts on the type of photography and images we liked, and they surpassed our expectations.

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.

I have used Rebecca on numerous occasions to photograph our family's milestones. I would highly recommend her! She's great with kids, creative, and so much fun to be around. You will not be disappointed!

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!

Hi, I’m Angel - the lead storyteller at Angel Photo & Video. After 20 years as a fitness instructor, I followed my heart back to photography and never looked back. I capture everything from family portraits to real estate listings, but weddings are where I truly come alive. I’m all about real moments, raw emotion, and catching the little things you didn’t even know you missed. I’ll keep your day running smoothly, make it fun and stress-free, and deliver photos and videos you’ll cherish for a lifetime.

Angel is amazing. She is VERY knowledgeable about all things wedding which is a plus. Not everyone out here helps with questions or is willing to work with other artists. I wish I found her sooner to be honest. Her ideas are cool and fresh. She has her own style that I think captures the fun as well. She took the time to answer all 800 questions we had before and after the wedding. I am so very thankful to have bumped into her at a wedding show and I immediately knew she would be our videoographer. She is the sweetest and completely down to earth. I recommend her to everyone !

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.

Hello there! My name is Xin Fu, and I am a professional photographer in upstate New York! I have been doing photography for many, many years now. My style of work is focusing on the subject’s raw emotions to create a meaningful and personal image. I capture the bride’s smile as she gazes at her partner, the father’s reaction to the bride’s beautiful dress, and the crowd’s applause to the newlyweds.

I'm someone who always hates getting their picture taken, but Xin made me and my wife feel comfortable! When guests come over and see the beautiful photos printed and framed, they always ask who the photographer was. Thank you for capturing such a special day!

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 would highly recommend Ivy Lane Photography! We used Brittany for our wedding day and were so glad we did. Me and my husband are both a bit camera shy and typically really don’t feel comfortable in front of a camera. However - Brittany was able to set us both as ease, and capture some truly beautiful shots that we will treasure forever. Overall I was happy with the experience - we had fun during the process and were so happy with the end result!
