Moments Captured CNY was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Caitlyn has an easygoing communication style and did a great job of keeping us involved in the planning for our day. Her work is truly amazing - you can tell she cares deeply about her craft and making sure her clients are thrilled with the results.

The Lovely Lens

  • Serves Rochester, NY

Hullo! So you're gettin' hitched (YaaY!), but you’re not super into the idea of the overly-manicured wedding. A+ for you, because this is not your parents’ wedding photography. I'm a farm kid who floats between the journalism and art worlds. I love telling stories as much as I love listening to the stories of others. I’m the type of person who makes up musicals for my own amusement and nurses a soft spot for sci-fi and fantasy. If I’m not taking photos, I’m usually dancing. Or cooking. It’s possible I may have a baking addiction and try to mitigate the damage by forcing the goods on loved ones.

Celia was incredible to work with. My (now) husband and I are usually pretty awkward in front of a camera so it was really important for us to find a photographer we felt comfortable with. I knew Celia would be that person as soon as we first connected! She's such a warm personality and a very calming presence to have around on a day that can be quite stressful. She did a phenomenal job capturing all of the candid moments of the day and then gave us some direction when she saw a cool opportunity for a shot, which is exactly what we were looking for. The photos she took are stunning and turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We both still cry when we look at them. Highly Highly recommend working with The Lovely Lens for your wedding!!

Rochester, NY
  • Fine art style

Hi, I'm Jacalyn — the photographer behind Jacalyn Meyvis Photography in Rochester, NY and the Finger Lakes. Photos should be timeless. No trendy wedding filters here. On a day as special as this, you should remember all of the important moments. In a way you'll love both now and in 20 years.

Awarded Best of Zola
I am SO glad I chose Jacalyn to take our wedding photos! As someone much more comfortable behind the camera, I was determined to find someone I could really trust with my very specific vision. Jacalyn delivered and more! Jacalyn took photos on our wedding day and during our Vietnamese tea ceremony the night prior. We also asked her to add on Super 8 film for our wedding day - and it was worth every penny! (For shooting the Super 8, she was accompanied by her second shooter, Bekah, who was equally amazing!) Jacalyn is truly a professional through and through. She was extremely organized throughout the entire wedding planning process and kept communication open. On the wedding day, I was stressed about a lot of things - but the photos were not one of them! Throughout the day, she was able to capture so many special moments that I would never have even seen otherwise given how preoccupied my husband and I were. I am eternally grateful for her ability to capture such details through her work. She not only has a great eye and instinct, but her editing style is impeccable. It's so timeless and natural, and exactly what I wanted! My husband and I are already talking about booking subsequent photoshoots with her for anniversaries and future events.

I'm Matt at Little Vows Photography, and I specialize in micro weddings and elopements as well natural, organic portraiture. If you are planning a wedding of 50 or fewer people and want an intimate celebration, I may be the right choice for you. When it comes to portraiture, I strive for the session to feel relaxed and low-pressure, like friends hanging out to avoid posed images that feel overly stiff and stilted. I want to communicate well with people to understand the ways they are comfortable showing their love to create the most natural and beautiful images possible.

Matt photographed my small wedding in Rhode Island, and I can't recommend him highly enough! His background in photojournalism shines through in his work and he has a remarkable talent for quietly capturing intimate moments and genuine emotions. During our posed portraits, he gave just the right amount of direction to make us feel comfortable, all while keeping the photos natural and authentic. In addition to being incredibly talented, Matt is very professional, communicative, and a joy to be around. He delivered the images quickly, which was an added bonus. We will forever cherish the beautiful memories he captured!

Michael Fisher Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,450

Personally, I’ll totally take timeless and authentic over trendy any day. To me, authentic moments always make for more beautiful and personal photographs. Because of this, it’s truly important to me that your wedding pictures say something real about you and who you are as a couple at the beginning, on this day together.

We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!

Hey, I'm Kelsey! Thanks for being here! When I'm not behind the lens, you'll probably find me at my favorite sushi restaurant or hanging out at home with my husband & cats drinking a Starbucks Matcha Latte. You'll notice as soon as you meet me that height is something I'm lacking, but I promise that won't stop me from killin' it at your session. I started taking photography when I was a freshman in high school. My high school offered film photography & I immediately fell in love.

We looked around quite a bit before we went with Kelsey, and we're SO happy we did. From our first meeting, I was impressed by her clear communication, her calm demeanor, and her attention to detail. She was amazing day-of in keeping things running and pivoting when we needed to. We love how are photos turned out!

On the big day, Katie made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera while capturing timeless photos that were pure art and exactly what we envisioned. My husband didn't quite understand why photography was such a priority initially, but once we got our sneak peeks, we were both blown away by the images. Katie truly went above and beyond to deliver work that I can only describe as literal perfection. Her artistic eye and attention to detail resulted in photos that we will treasure for decades to come. I cannot recommend Katie highly enough for any couple looking for stunning, emotional wedding photography that far exceeds expectations.

When I'm not working, you can find me hitting live shows or adventuring with my wife and cat, Riesling. About my work: 10+ years of experience shooting both on-location and in the studio. Use of off-camera lighting, which allows me to add a creative flair when natural light isn't quite enough. I’ll crawl through cattails, get pelted with silly string, and wade out waist deep in the ocean, just to get the perfect shot. My goal is to make YOU feel comfortable and at ease so we can create compelling imagery for your special occasion or event.
