Kathryn Cooper Weddings 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Russell, NY

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
I first met Dani when she was photographing my sister’s intimate wedding celebration in SF and we instantly hit it off. She was so engaging with my three young kids that night and made the experience so wonderful for all the guests who were there to celebrate my sister and her husband! Some of those captures from that night are treasured gems and we love looking back on them. Immediately I knew I’d want to hire her again for a future family photoshoot if she was back in California! Fast forward to May 2025, Dani so graciously helped us with family pictures in Lands End. We had 9 people total and the entire experience was SO enjoyable. She captured some poses on film too which provided such unique results! We didn’t feel stiff or awkward since Dani is so great at guiding us. We used her photos for our holiday cards & are so happy with the turnout!

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Sean and I got married at the Blue Water Manor in June 2024. We are from northern NJ and took a chance on each of our vendors through their portfolios and online reviews. Jason went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from our photographer. Since we were from out of the area we had multiple phone calls to discuss timelines and specifics really helping us think of everything. Even met with us the week of to walk through the venue and other places we wanted to take photos, just rolling with it and helping us get exactly what we wanted. Nothing could have prepared us for the crappy weather we had the day of the wedding but Jason put a smile on with us and braved it. Never complained about how soaked he probably got and just did everything possible to help us have the best day. And we did. Every single one of our guests commented on lucky we were to have a photographer like him watching him in action and our photos speak to that. Even though our wedding day has come and gone we would still book Jason time and time again.

Fairytale Dreams Photography

  • Serves Russell, NY
  • Offer

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.

I normally never write reviews but Cass is the photographer you need for any event you have coming up! She just captured our engagement earlier this year and our wedding last month! We found her work on Facebook initially but the website for Fairy Tale Dreams Photography is very easy to find and access, and Cass was readily available for every question we had and every part along the way as well! Neither of us are very photographic people, however Cass was able to direct us in a way that made our engagement session and wedding photos like a fun date with no pressure and the outcomes of the photos were absolutely astonishing and did not look forced or directed at all. She is an expert in capturing the little moments in a very candid style. Even though in general we had felt a little awkward behind the camera in general prior to our experience with her, she made it feel completely stress free while also making it a great time! She was unbelievably accommodating and even came to check out our venue the day before ahead of time to plan out some great photo/lighting spots for the big day which we really appreciated as we were unsure of where would be best. She also made sure to capture all of the poses/shots we had saved to our Pinterest board for ideas of what we wanted while also making them individual to us! She is also great on timelines, I know a lot of photographers can take up to months after to send edited photos back, but we got our sneak peaks back in 2-3 days and the rest within a week! I could go on and on but overall we absolutely loved having Cass capture such a special time in our lives and we strongly recommend her to whoever is looking. I’ve had a lot of experience with different photographers and what sets Cass apart isn’t only that she truly cares about capturing the right moments for her clients but more importantly she truly cares about and gets to know the people she is photographing and it really shows in her work! The photos she took are the photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives and looking back on them we are certain that we wouldn’t have been able to get the photos of our dreams with anyone else!

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

From our first phone call with Kyla, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Kyla's communication style was fantastic - she was responsive via phone, text, email, and even met with us in person to discuss our vision. The photos she captured on our wedding day turned out absolutely stunning! Kyla went above and beyond, taking all the family pictures we wanted and choosing a beautiful spot for our wedding party photos. She is reliable, easy to work with, and thoroughly answered any questions we had. The quality of her work is truly amazing - she clearly takes the time to hand-pick the best photos for our album.

I'll be your personal cheerleader and the third wheel you never knew you needed! You can bet I'll be saying "PERFECT" more times than you can count. And honestly, I might even add an extra dramatic gasp or two. Get ready for a fun, stress free experience filled with laughs, high fives, and lots of "PERFECT" moments that will have you smiling for years to come.

I seriously cannot say enough good things about Nichole and how perfect she is. Not only is she phenomenal at her job- providing outstanding and breathtaking pictures- but she is a phenomenal PERSON. We had Nichole for our engagement pictures which turned out beautifully, so we had the bar set high and she somehow exceeded those expectations!! She ensured things were moving seamlessly at my wedding (outside of her job scope and did that multiple times without prompting because she’s just a team player) and ensured I was hydrated, fed, and that my bridezilla wasn’t coming out (and it didn’t because of her). She went above and beyond to ensure my husband and I were having a great time on our day and, honestly, just looked out for us because she genuinely cares. She also took such good care of my son, my beagle. Also, my husband and I can sometimes get awkward when pictures are being taken of us, but Nichole is so warm and personable that we relaxed right away, and it almost felt like we were just hanging out with a good friend. Those pictures, both from our engagement session and our wedding, came out beautifully. We recently received sneak peeks and they knocked us off our feet. We cannot wait to see more! We will be using her in the future without question for all of our special events. Do not hesitate- book Nichole. She IS the best out there.

Jordan photographed our wedding in Lake Placid and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer! He is skilled, knowledgeable, a true Adirondack gem! We first contacted Jordan after seeing his work on Instagram. The quality and style of his images stood out in a crowd of wedding photographers. He has an incredible creative eye! After a video meeting with him, it became clear that we had found a great match, both in terms of style and personality. Every communication reminded me that he cared and listened! With so many details that one has to remember at a wedding, some details can easily be missed, BUT not Jordan! On our wedding day, he was able to deliver everything we asked for and was executed beautifully and with ease! Our photos are beyond beautiful! The final photos are pure magic! Full of candid shots but also modern and timeless! But what truly impressed us was the incredibly fast turnaround. We had our sneak peek within a day and our full gallery in less than 2 weeks! We can't thank Jordan enough! He is a true professional and amazing at what he does! BOOK him and you will never regret it! Our family is already looking forward to going back to Lake Placid and having a family session with him sometime in the near future!

I’m Donna Marie—the introverted, hella awkward + nerdy, all about the vibes and adventure(ish) soul that you can typically find behind the camera (rather than in front of it). I'm here to serve + empower all the introverted, awkward in-front-of-the-lens, adventure(ish) couples who want to have an authentic, non-traditional wedding experience across upstate and northern New York. What matters most are the emotions you experience as your wedding day unfolds. Whether that be in a place with easy to reach epic views, or any place or location that embodies who you are. I’m your go-to gal when you decide to take control of your wedding day.

Hiring Donna was the best wedding decision we made! She's insanely talented, works at a ridiculously fast pace, and was so dialed in on the day, getting every important shot, that you'd think we had 2 photographers by looking at our gallery. As if that wasn't enough already, she's incredibly supportive of her couples by being queer-inclusive and super accommodating. She was such a hit at our wedding that two guests are already determined to hire Donna for their own weddings (copycats!).

Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.

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. = )

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.

Ali Cushing Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,500
  • Serves Russell, NY

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

Ali was such a pleasure to work with and she captured both our wedding day and engagement photos perfectly! Besides for being incredibly smart and easy to work with she is also incredibly talented. Just the sneak peak of wedding photos we’ve gotten back are beautiful and perfectly capture the energy of our wedding day. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Truly don't know where I begin... Thalia from the beginning was the warmest, most talented individual and we clicked immediately. There is a reason I booked her nearly a year and a half in advance to my wedding! Not only is her work phenomenal, but her style of photography truly made the day so easy and seamless - very cinematic/documentary style. She did our engagement pictures which were beyond breathtaking, and our wedding pictures surpassed our expectations by tenfold. Please do not hesitate to book her, she is BEYOND TALENTED and I received endless compliments on our pictures for weeks after we got them back. She is truly one of a kind and the most easy person to work with. We love her so much and plan to use her in the future for any other life events of ours!!!!

My husband is my second photographer, so we come as a photo team! Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving so you look and feel natural and comfortable. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I Got You!

PictureMeThisByLacie was the perfect photography duo for our wedding day. From our first interaction, they were fantastic and very friendly, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of, they were on top of all the photos and had great ideas to capture unique shots, while still allowing us to enjoy the moment and not feeling too involved. The final photos were absolutely stunning - we couldn't be happier with the quality and value of their work. 100/10 would recommend this husband and wife team to any couple looking for fun, laid-back photographers who will deliver incredible results.

Jessica Yurko Photography

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory? You can smell the fresh air, feel the way the sun hits your face just so, hear the voice of the loved one next to you, remember the joke that they delivered and instantly you’re laughing all over again. That magic is what I hope to capture as your photographer. It’s my job to hold those moments in time so that they don’t have to fade. You’ll forever be able to revisit the moment, see the exact way they smiled, revisit that incredible sunset, relive the memory and turn back time.

Hiring Jess was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding, period! From the first time we met, Jess showed genuine care, attention, and excitement about who we are and our special day. Our work kicked off together during an engagement shoot at Coney Island. She went above and beyond-driving 5 hours from the Hudson Valley to meet us at our dream location. We spent the night together, and she never made us feel like we were on the clock. Jess is truly so generous with her time. Our wedding day was of course, even more special. Taking photos with my husband, Jess, and her brilliant second shooter were some of the best moments of our day. Jess went above and beyond her role of photographer - making sure our special people looked tidy, keeping us all on schedule, and ensuring we were well fed and hydrated throughout the day. What really stood out is the care she showed for my loved ones: a family member with autism, and my 97-year-old grandma; having adjusted the schedule to accommodate them. We received a highlights gallery within days of our wedding, and the full album within 2 months (gratefully before Thanksgiving so we could reminisce over the holiday with our loved ones). Before our wedding, I walked through my Pinterest board with Jess. I see so much of what we discussed shine through in our photos. I am so impressed with Jess' attention to detail and diversity in portfolio - from documentary style to editorial shots. Finally, Jess has great knowledge of our venue, Bear Mountain Inn and the accompanying state park. She took us to incredible hidden pockets in the woods, and navigated to the more heavily trafficked viewpoints with expertise. We are so grateful to Jess for capturing our day with so much warmth and love. Hiring Jess is the best decision you'll make in wedding planning! 3
