The Best Wedding Photographers in Chester, NY

“We cannot recommend Kathryn enough! First (and most obvious) (and also most important) point is that the photos she took were incredible. She captured our night beautifully. More than that though, she captured how the night felt. The photos weren't overly posy, but rather showed off how much fun and excitement there was for the entire night. I think one of the best things I can say about Kathryn is that she really made a point of figuring out HOW we wanted her to photograph the wedding and delivered. As I wrote above, we wanted the photographs to look great, but mostly just capture how the wedding felt and she delivered on that 100%. Also, as much as she made sure we were leading all the decision making, she really knew her stuff and took things off of our plate where we could. We knew how we wanted the photos to look generally, but neither of us are photographers. So we talked to her about style and vibe and she really took it from there. She was an absolute professional, a great person to work with, and kind and caring. We felt like we were in great hands every step of the way. Truly cannot recommend her enough.”

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.

“Richard Krutick is special. A special talent as well as a special man. He captured it! The day after our wedding he sent me a teaser gallery of what was to come. I was blown away. When planning my wedding the photographer was the most critical to me -I was picky. When I saw his work he turned my entire way of looking at my wedding around. Richard and I had over an hour-long conversation and we clicked. I, having a creative director background and working with photographers all my career, was thrilled because we spoke the same language. I wanted honest, documentary-style moments captured without noticing the presence of the photographer. He was there when you needed him and you liked him. My guests were saying what a warm and great guy he is. He got their personalities, each and every one of them. He looks at everything with a special eye. Right at the time of my outdoor wedding with the most beautiful view and lush floral arbor, it poured and didn't stop. Gravel walkways turning into mud, no bride or groom wants to see. He just grabbed the moments and ran with them. Pivoting, he captured the most creative and editorial images I could ever dream of. He took the storm and made it beautiful. I hope I will have another event, moment, fun-filled party, or cherished time that he can again capture so we can work with him again.”

Hey, I'm Mary! It's nice to meet you. Summing up who I am in an "about me" is always difficult. What you must know: (1) I'm a nerd. If you want to talk video games, LOTR or Doctor Who, we HAVE to sit down for a bourbon or a coffee. (2) Yes, I will be out on that dance floor with you snapping away while joining in on the fun. And (3), while I'm a photographer first, supporting you during the planning process feels crucial to me - from building a timeline to having your back any way I can.

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.

“Jessica was truly amazing to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, Jessica had a sweet and attentive communication style that immediately put us at ease. I remember after our first virtual meeting her even sending a little thank you gift for meeting with her. And she was so kind, she asked so many questions and seemed genuinely interested about us as a couple and about our dogs! I spoke with some other photographers who seemed to care less about us as people. Which is ultimately why we went with Jessica to begin with, she was just so nice and her pictures were amazing to top it all off. Her passion for her craft was evident in the beautiful, high-quality photos she captured. Also her photo package names were so great (THE STAR WARS - "I LOVE YOU, I KNOW”)! For our engagement shoot we suffered through some of the hottest, awful, sticky, July weather and she was positive the entire time, managed to get amazing shots and deal with our crazy dogs! Before the wedding, Jessica was always easily reachable, and very on the ball. And will always be your biggest cheerleader, anytime I posted anything on Instagram, Jessica would be there celebrating, she is truly a delightful and genuine person! And I think her run through of the wedding day was the first one I got and it was perfect! And she went to the venue a week before the wedding to scope out the absolute perfect spots to take photos! On the day of the wedding, Jessica was able to calmly get every picture perfect, meanwhile making silly dad jokes to help us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. She was amazing at trying to calm down our crying moms, and giving us some moments just to ourselves, listening to literally everything we said, and always making sure we were okay, all while getting amazing shots! And all of our guests loved her! We had people reaching out during and after the wedding to tell us how wonderful Jessica was. Everyone was obsessed with her, both of our mom, my sister, my bridesmaids, even the best man kept talking about how great she was, how amazing everything went, and how nice she was with everything! Meanwhile I am sure it was like trying to her cats to get some of the photos together, especially when we both wanted huge extended family photos, but she was positive and amazing through it all! Jessica went above and beyond on our special day, making sure everything was perfect. I am sure I even missing some of the little touches she added to our wedding. And we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. She says on her website “YOU CAN CALL ME JESS (SHE/HER). AKA YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!” And that is honestly how I felt throughout the whole process, literally love her! And I mean the photos really speak for themselves, they are absolutely flawless!”

“We are so lucky to have had Anecdote Photography as our wedding photographers. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was immediate, detail-oriented, friendly, and respectful. The quality of their work was flawless - the photos are beautiful and creative, and they had such an easygoing presence that put us at ease on our wedding day. Eddie, our lead photographer, was one of the best parts of our special day. He was extremely organized and helped lay out the timeline perfectly, and he was so thoughtful - he even had extra bobby pins on hand when my hair needed a touch-up, and he helped the groomsmen with their boutonnieres at the church. We cannot recommend Anecdote Photography highly enough - their attention to detail is impeccable, and they are truly wonderful to work with. Please consider them for your next event!”

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

“Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!”

“Working with Caitlinn for our wedding was an AMAZING experience. We couldn’t be happier with our photos! I told her from the get go that my fiancé (now husband!) and I never take good photos, but she assured me that our photos would look natural and not overly posed, which is what we wanted. Caitlinn responded promptly to every email and worked with us to create an efficient timeline for our very large family and bridal party. We had four small children in our bridal party and Caitlinn handled them like an expert and got some amazing shots of all of them! She is incredibly organized and best of all, we received a “sneak preview” of our photo gallery one or two days after the wedding, and the entire photo gallery within a week of the wedding! And the pictures, OMG are they beautiful. The hardest part is choosing which photos to put in our album - they are all that good! (But we get to keep the full digital photo gallery which is being displayed on a digital frame). I particularly appreciated how “unobtrusive” her style is - especially during the very emotional moments like our first look - we didn’t “feel” like we were being photographed so we were able to enjoy the moment and act naturally. She captured all of the big moments and the small details too and her artistic eye created beautiful shots of everything from getting ready all the way to the cake cutting and everything in between. Caitlinn is also an incredibly lovely person - her energy carries through in everything she does, and we felt so comfortable from her right from the get go. Truly I can’t say enough about this wonderful photographer and person - she created beautiful memories for us that we will cherish forever.”

“Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!”

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

“We had the pleasure of working with Carroll as our wedding photographer, and I cannot express how thrilled my husband and I were with the entire experience. Carroll's professionalism truly stood out from the beginning to the end of our wedding journey. I lucked out that I had gotten to see Carroll in action when she photographed my best friend’s wedding and when it came time to plan our own day, we literally picked our wedding day based on Carroll’s availability. Carroll was organized, punctual, and took the time to understand our vision for the wedding. She was as taken with all the photo opportunities our venue provided as we were and her excitement over that made engagement and wedding photos even more fun. Her attention to detail and commitment to capturing every special moment was evident throughout the entire process. The pictures Carroll captured were nothing short of fantastic. She has a keen eye for composition and lighting, resulting in a collection of stunning images that perfectly encapsulate the joy and love of our wedding day. Each photo tells a story, and we are grateful to have such beautiful memories preserved through Carroll's lens. Working with Carroll was not only a professional collaboration but also a fun and memorable experience. Her warm and friendly personality created a relaxed atmosphere, making it easy for us to be ourselves in front of the camera. Carroll's ability to capture candid moments and genuine emotions added an authentic touch to our wedding album. She navigated through the day with a positive and upbeat attitude, making the photo sessions enjoyable for everyone involved. Carroll's passion for her craft was evident, and it translated into a fun and stress-free photography session on our wedding day. In the end, the final product exceeded our expectations. Carroll delivered a beautifully curated collection of images that we will cherish for a lifetime. Her talent, combined with her professionalism and friendly demeanor, makes Carroll an exceptional wedding photographer. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone in search of a photographer who not only captures breathtaking moments but also makes the entire process enjoyable and memorable.”

I started photographing weddings over 8 years ago and was influenced by the two great passions in my life at the time: landscape photography and teaching. My love for both deeply influence my wedding photography because I find inspiration in both the natural setting of a wedding as well as special moments between people. When I document weddings I am in all places at once, constantly searching for great light to highlight beautiful settings as well as the heartfelt, emotional moments...your wedding day deserves to be documented in all its glory and beauty. When I have free time I love cooking, traveling, brewing beer, hiking, and running.

“We are so happy with how all our photos turned out with Matthew! He was great from the beginning, having a call to better understand his style and how the day would go even before booking. Prior to the event he had a detailed questionnaire to complete to make sure all the photos we wanted were accounted for. Matthew was familiar with our venue and even went ahead of time to figure out the best spots to take photos. The day of was great as well! He gave great instruction and was very organized so we never had to worry about getting any photos. To top it all off the photos are amazing!! We were beyond impressed with the initial teasers and when we saw the whole album, it really is a work of art! We couldn’t be happier with how the photos turned out. Highly recommend!!”

“We couldn't have asked for a better crew to work with! When looking for photographers, we knew we wanted two things: one was a combined photo/video crew (just to make things smoother and easier the day of) and second was someone we felt a connection with. From the second I hung up the phone with Megan for our initial call, I knew Megan and Kenneth were our pick. They immediately made us feel and ease and I hung up the phone saying, and I quote, "I want to be her friend forever." We had our engagement photos on July 4th in a nearly empty NYC and had the BEST time with them (even though I forgot all the props I wanted to bring). We were so happy with our choice. Leading up to the wedding, Megan was constantly sending us updates, questionnaires, and other super helpful emails to make sure everything was going smoothly. She answered any and every question I had and was a joy to work with leading up to and on the day of the wedding. My husband is not the biggest fan of taking photos but even he said he felt so comfortable with them and truly enjoyed the whole process.

I’m the self-declared winner of “most likely to hear someone’s life story in unexpected places.” Whether it’s an antique shop owner telling me about her and her late husband’s favorite meal from their Italian vacation 40 years ago, or a fellow TJ Maxx customer recalling how she met her best friend of 17 years in a shared hospital room, I listen. And not a polite listen, but an I really give a shit listen. At the core of my being, I’m story obsessed. It’s why I was an English major in college and why I fell in love with photography. If there is a story to be heard, I will listen. And if there's a story to be told, I'll tell it.

“We came across Lindsay’s beautiful photos on Instagram, set up a call and within the first 5 minutes we knew we wanted to have her take our wedding day photos and also be best friends with her! She was willing to travel to us for both our engagement session and wedding day. We met in person when we did our engagement session at Harkness Park in CT and she took amazing photos but was also super fun, friendly and professional. She made us genuinely laugh. It made us more excited to work with her on our wedding day as well! She arrived early, helped us stay on the timeline, took amazing photos and was so fun to be around! Even though it rained a little, she got amazing shots (getting wet in the process) and was also so creative with the shots at the venue. She even got my not-so-happy 3 year old ring bearer to smile for photos! Then the next day we had a bunch sneak peaks in our email inbox and have already received so many compliments! We cannot thank Lindsay enough for all of her hard work and cannot recommend her enough to anyone looking for a photographer!”

Hey! I'm Nina. I'm a pretty energetic and charismatic person that loves love and enjoys life. Documenting through photo is my favorite thing on this planet. I've been a professional photographer since 2016 but really I've been invested in photography since I was 15 years old. My love for documenting moments came from a desire to capture my own life and that of my friends using disposable cameras to using flip phone cameras and point and shoot digital cameras on beach trips with friends. I have used writing, art, and photo to document my life and it is an incredibly special thing to be able to share that with my clients.

“Wow! Where do I even begin? Working with Dayna was an absolute blast! From our wedding day to multiple anniversary shoots and even a business session, she made every moment fun and relaxed. Dayna effortlessly blends professionalism with a laid-back vibe, making each shoot feel like a fun-filled adventure. Her photos are flawless, capturing the essence of each moment with perfection. One of the things I appreciated most about working with Dayna is her ability to make you feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Even for someone like me who isn't naturally comfortable having their picture taken, she managed to create an environment that felt calm and comfortable, resulting in pictures that truly reflect our genuine happiness. Overall, I can't recommend Dayna highly enough! If you're looking for a photographer who not only delivers stunning results but also makes the entire experience fun and enjoyable, look no further. Thank you, Dayna, for capturing our special moments with such creativity and warmth!”

“Alex is AMAZING. Her photos left us in awe — I was so impressed by how she listened to my vision and adapted her style accordingly. Most of all, though, Alex excels in all things related to running a business — she’s prompt in email responses, professional with her contracts and payment process, and goes above and beyond to connect you with resources for a successful day (a last minute coordinator, in my case). This is what really sets her apart from other vendors in my opinion. Run, don’t walk, to hire Alex for your wedding!”

I'm Alex. I spend my free time with my husband and our dogs Conor & Belle. I'm lucky to live in the Hudson Valley surrounded by amazing nature and upstate lifestyle. Art is something that I fell in love with at a young age and has always carried me through life- it lead me to photography. The mixture of art and emotion is one of the things I love most about wedding photography. When you look through your collection of photos I want you to feel and see the emotion, love and fun you had on your best day ever.

Hello! My name is Christine and I love weddings. I have been photographing weddings since 2005 and the more I do it, the more I love it. I also love chocolate, binge-worthy television and Betty White so much, I named my dog after her.

“Our wedding weekend was one of the most special times in our lives thus far, and Christine was such a huge part of that! We're New Yorkers who got married in Vermont, and Christine had hired a second shooter from that area. Although she'd coordinated with the other photographer over the phone, they only met in person for the first time the day of the wedding. We were so taken with how well they worked together, and a big part of that is due to how great Christine is with people. Whether she was photographing us as we got ready, or she was rallying all of the guests into a single shot after the ceremony, Christine worked seamlessly. She's funny and charming and knows how to get the shots she needs. She makes the whole operation look effortless, and she'll definitely put you at ease on your big day. We were so happy with our pictures in the end! They look great and really capture the magic we felt that day.”

“Finding a good photographer was high on our priority list for vendors. We got married outside in the Catskill Mountains and as such we wanted a photographer capable of capturing the depth of the forest. After looking through Sam's portfolio we knew she was good, but after working with her and seeing her work firsthand we can say she's the best. Getting your photo taken can be awkward, especially given the high stakes of a wedding. But Sam is able to make you feel immediately comfortable while simultaneously taking the most stunning photos you'll ever see. We also had a connection session with her, which we would highly recommend so that you can know how she works - very fun and relaxed, but professional. Sam helped us outline the entire day of the wedding, and based on her knowledge the day went off without a hitch. We're so grateful she agreed to work with us!”

I like to find beauty in the balance between the shadows and the light. They are rarely inseparable. They are complex and totally opposite and yet they can not live without the other. Just like real connection. What is real is beautiful. Only love is real. Your wedding day is important. To you. To your families. To me. And I don’t take it lightly. I understand that you’ve never done this before and you may not even know where to start! Don’t worry- I got you!

Hi, Thanks for reading! Here's my photography short story: 2017, after 13 years of teaching, I said goodbye to the classroom and pursued Olympic weightlifting photography- my company was Everyday Lifters. Shortly after, I launched my wedding business. The Long Version: Weightlifting has taken me to places like Turkmenistan, Germany, & across the country! The weightlifters started getting married, and along the way, I received training to advocate for diverse bodies as a photographer. During this time of transition, I started taking documenting courses through the International Center of Photography and work on documenting local stories.

“I cannot say enough good things about Katie! She was so wonderful to work with, and her work is absolutely STUNNING! I'm totally obsessed with my wedding photos, and how she captured everything that day. She and her assistant Lauren were so lovely and fun! From the first phone call, I knew I had to book with her. We clicked right away, and she gave a rough rundown of how the day would go, which made me feel at ease. It rained the day of my wedding, and at first I was really upset because I'm such a fall girl and I was really looking forward to getting those rich fall colors in my photos. Well, we still took pictures outside and Katie did NOT disappoint! As I said, I'm totally obsessed with my photos, and the ones we got outdoors still captured the fall colors and aesthetic I wanted. All I can say is "WOW!". I highly recommend working with Katie for your wedding!”

“We interviewed many photographers before deciding on Amber. We immediately clicked, and her recommendations were spot on. She is a wealth of knowledge for the wedding region and actually helped us to find other vendors for our wedding too! Amber was extremely communicative and every time I reached out to her, I felt like I was talking with a friend. She accommodated all of our requests and got every shot that we wanted in a shortened time frame since we did not want to do a first look. Our photos were delivered to us within a timely fashion and we even got a sneak peek within 24 hours of our wedding. The photos were top notch and better than we could ever have imagined. I have been to many weddings and seen many wedding photos and I can truly say that Amber has a unique eye for capturing the absolute best shots and you will not be disappointed with her. We are excited that we have heirloom photographs that will be shared for many generations.”
