Hi, I’m Richard, a wedding photographer based in the Hudson Valley. My passion is finding the beauty in the simplest moments and capturing them in a way that feels raw, real, and full of life. As a candid, photojournalist photographer, I’m all about ditching stiff poses to focus on the relationships, the laughs, and the genuine emotions that tell your distinct story.

Richard is AMAZING!! My husband and I loved working with him for both our engagement session and our wedding day. He is professional, calm, and fun to hang out with which is everything you need in a photographer who spends one of the biggest days with you! We loved him and our families and guests did too! I’m still receiving compliments on his work. He captured some really amazing moments for us and I would use him again in a heartbeat!

Cassie is a true professional who made us feel at ease from the initial planning stages to the day of the wedding. She was patient and kind during the planning stages, taking time to answer any questions I had. She was also able to recommend other vendors which we ended up booking. It put our mind at ease knowing we had a team of vendors that worked well together and we went into the day knowing everything was going to be perfect! The final results were truly special - Cassie's artistic vision and attention to detail resulted in photographs and video that captured the beauty and uniqueness of our special day which we will cherish forever! The Super8 Film is so different from most wedding videos and we're so happy we made the decision to get one. We can't recommend Cassie and The One Eleven Collective highly enough for anyone looking for a talented, professional, and fun wedding photography/videography team.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Kalz Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From our first conversation, Kristin and her team were easy to communicate with, offering a heartfelt and honest approach that put us at ease. Her work is truly extraordinary - the photos they captured are wholesome, charismatic, and perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our special day. Kristin took the lead, working tirelessly with her team to ensure they captured all the photos we requested. In true Kristin fashion, she went above and beyond, helping our day run more smoothly with her professionalism and attention to detail. We are thrilled with our sneak peak and know that the final product will be well worth the wait. Kristin has felt more like a friend than ‘just’ a photographer and I knew when she captured our engagement photos, it would only be more amazing come time for the wedding. I would without a doubt recommend her to anyone! Her husband is an excellent edition to the team and an absolute delight to have along for the ride.

Rebecca Loomis Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,200
  • Serves Watervliet, NY

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment we booked Bridget as our wedding photographer, we knew we were in good hands. She became a true partner in helping us bring our vision to life. Her communication style is clear, open, supportive and incredibly organized, making the entire process feel seamless. Bridget's attention to detail is unparalleled - she was there for us every step of the way, providing guidance that went far beyond just capturing our special day. On the wedding day itself, Bridget's calming presence and professional demeanor helped us feel at ease, allowing her to capture the most beautiful, breathtaking moments. The final photos are a true work of art - bright, refreshing, and brimming with emotion. The photos far exceeded anything we could have imagined. Bridget has remarkable talent to capture both the grand moments and quiet, candid details that made our day so special. Bridget's warmth and professionalism made everyone feel comfortable, kept the day running smoothly, and brought energy that made the experience joyful and stress-free. It is evident Bridget loves what she does and truly pours her heart into every photo she takes. Bridget is everything you want in a wedding photographer and more, and we will cherish these memories forever. We cannot recommend her highly enough.

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 was incredible! She made our wedding day feel so easy and special. She is SO fun to be around, super friendly, and captured every moment perfectly without ever feeling intrusive. Our photos turned out gorgeous — exactly what we hoped for and more. We’re so grateful for her talent and the heart she put into our day. Highly recommend Sydney to anyone looking for an awesome wedding photographer! We cannot wait to keep using her for all our future family events!!

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!!!

Kozmo Photography

Hello ! first and foremost, congratulations on your engagement as you embark on this new chapter of your lives. My name is Kevin and I started the ground work Kozmo Photography back in 2014. My goal has always been to capture the uniqueness of each and every couple on the biggest day of their journey together. It is therefore my belief that a great wedding photographer must be able to capture the big and small details throughout the day with minimal interference while being keenly aware of the surrounding conditions. This is my promise as I strive to deliver to each and every couple the wedding photos they deserve.

From our first interaction, Kevin at Kozmo Photography was a joy to work with. His communication was clear, quick, and incredibly kind throughout the entire process. The quality of his work was truly exceptional - Kevin has a keen eye for detail and an intuitive sense of what will make for the most special, focused shots. On our wedding day, Kevin expertly captured all the most important moments between our loved ones without us even having to say a word of direction. I would never work with anyone else and I truly cannot recommend Kozmo Photography enough. Kevin made the day easy, fun, and had a clear vision of what he was looking for even when I didn't. I'm over the moon with the final photos and will cherish them forever.

Siobhan was truly a pleasure to work with on our special day. She joined us for over 5 hours during our NYC courthouse ceremony and she captured so many incredible moments. Most of my favourites are candid or in motion - we barely knew she was photographing. She also researched the area and managed to bring us to multiple landmarks that made for a beautiful setting. She was able to give clear direction on some of the more formal photos and she made the whole experience lots of fun. I’d highly recommend her very tasteful and professional work.

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)!

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.

We worked with Kristen & Sheridan for our wedding earlier this year and are so lucky to have found them! TL;DR: From planning and day-of execution to the delivery of our wedding gallery, Kristen & Sheridan were incredible to work with. Not only were they the perfect presence for our wedding day, they captured it in such an authentic way with a stunning final product. We connected with Kristen & Sheridan the moment we met them which was important to us considering the amount of time you spend around your photographers. We did an engagement shoot prior and we not only received an incredible batch of photos, but we were able to establish a rapport that made the flow of our wedding day feel that much easier. When we had to tweak our photo schedule or change locations, they were the perfect people to help us pivot and keep things on track. And when it was time for the ceremony & reception, their discrete coverage led to incredible results that captured our day in such an incredible way. The wedding gallery they created was nothing short of amazing and we were able to see moments of friends & family we would have never seen day-of. And truly, everyone who interacted with them LOVED them. We had opted not to have a videographer and knew our photographs were going to be our primary memory of the day, and we have no notes! Kristen & Sheridan captured the perfect story of our wedding and we would recommend them to anyone!

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.

We have the opportunity to work with Rebecca for our wedding photos. Not only did she bring the joy and energy with her on my wedding day. But she also gave amazing direction when taking photos. She made me feel so confident in every photo that we took. We had such an amazing time having Rebecca as a photographer. I can honestly say every single wedding photo was perfection!!!

He was involved in every aspect of the wedding, totally capturing the essence of the day. Rolled with whatever crazy idea we had. Genuinely a wonderful person on top of a fantastic photographer. He made you so comfortable and it really showed through the pictures. I cannot recommend him enough. We will have these pictures for a lifetime to come!! I’m so glad we went with Ross!

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! Meghan's communication, professionalism, and skills are top notch and we would highly recommend her for your special day!!

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.
