Hi, I'm Brea- a wedding photographer based out of New York's Hudson Valley with a focus on artfully making the photography of your dreams into reality.... My goal is for you to not just 'see' your images, but to really feel them too. That is why building a connection with my clients is so important to me. I care so much about the couples I get to work with and get so excited to be able to visually tell their story in a way that is unique to them.

Brea Warren Photo was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, Brea's photos that were romantic and whimsical, and it put us at ease and made the entire process so enjoyable. Her work is truly 1000000/10 - the photos she captured of our special day are beyond stunning. When we had to pivot to an indoor ceremony due to unexpected rain and fog, Brea rolled with the punches seamlessly and found a way to make the beauty of the weather shine through in the most gorgeous way. We also had the pleasure of doing engagement photos with Brea, and they were just as beautiful as the wedding day shots. Brea has been completely wonderful throughout the entire process, and we feel so lucky to have found her to document our love story.

We cannot recommend Jason highly enough! From the very beginning of our wedding planning process, he was amazing to work with. He kept in touch regularly, offering helpful suggestions when we were unsure about timelines or logistics. On wedding day, Jason was an absolute joy to work with. He brought such positive energy and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. He remembered every detail we discussed beforehand—from specific photo ideas to family members’ names—and even came up with creative ideas on the spot based on the location, lighting, and his incredible experience. He sent over several sneak peek photos the very next morning! It was so exciting to see how beautifully everything turned out, and it made us even more eager for the full gallery. Jason’s turnaround time was exactly as promised in his contract, and he continued to check in with us throughout the process, even though he was clearly busy with other weddings. Jason’s talent, professionalism, and thoughtfulness made him such an important part of our wedding. We're so grateful to have found him and for the stunning memories he captured and would 1000% recommend him to anyone. If we have the chance to work with him again in the future, we absolutely will!

I'm Cass, an Improviser Photographer from the Adirondack Mountains of Northern New York. Because this is my full-time career I have the time to dedicate to my clients. Rather than only taking pictures of you, I want to get to know you on a personal level. I like to establish a connection based on trust and honesty when taking photos. I am a photographer without cheesy trends, capturing the things that actually matter. REAL LIFE. What you see is what you get; so no over editing or too much posing. I dedicate my work to capturing real emotions in a fun and non-intrusive atmosphere.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Cass as a videographer at a backyard wedding on Lyon Mountain back in August. She was incredibly chill, so kind, and was extremely respectful of what I was trying to capture from the day too. Unprecedented to any photographer I have worked with in the past, she allowed me exclusive time with the bride and groom to get more of the movement shots I was looking for and I was able to get! Never have I ever had a photographer give me the opportunity to work one on one with the couple. Hire her for your wedding, you'll get STUNNING photos and she's a blast to work with!

Where to even begin. Erin was amazing right from the start! Communication was so easy and he got back to me within a business day! Come day of and we had some rain, but Erin was so quick to shift gears and use the rain as a supporting actor. Even with the weather, he was still able to get the pictures we requested and ones that are so unique! Erin captured our day PERFECTLY and we could not be any happier! Erin was able to get our pictures back super quickly which is a huge plus and deserves all the bonus points! We also hired a videographer for the day and he worked super well with him! The flash drive was delivered in a personalized wood box with one of our pictures printed on the top. I honestly forgot about that, so it was a lovely surprise! I would include every single picture he took of our day to include in my review if I could. So, if you’re hesitating on booking Erin, don’t hesitate any longer. He’s the man for you!

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY.

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’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.

Donna Marie Photo Co. was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Donna's communication was top-notch - she was available for questions and planning every step of the way in the months leading up to our big day. On the wedding day itself, Donna rolled with the punches when our schedule got a bit delayed but still managed to capture all the moments beautifully. Most importantly, the quality of the photos is truly amazing. Donna managed to take artistic shots that perfectly encapsulated the style and emotion of our wedding. The final edited photos were delivered promptly.

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. = )

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

Thalia is a NYC & destination wedding photographer based in Queens, NY. Being the lead photographer and owner of her business, she has 10 years of experience capturing engaged couples. She has developed a keen eye for detail, leaving couples with intentional photographs that capture the authenticity of their wedding day. A New York native, she grew up on Long Island for many years where she received her BFA in Visual Arts from SUNY Old Westbury and now - if she's not traveling - you can find her enjoying a new coffee shop or re-watching The Office!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer who captures not just moments but *feelings*, Thalia is your girl. From the second I scrolled through her Instagram feed, I knew I needed her to document our wedding. Her documentary-style photography is pure magic...she has such a natural gift for catching those small, in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. The hand-holding, the extended hugs, the quiet happy tears - she sees it all, and I’m truly beyond grateful to have had an artist like her capture those moments for us. We booked Thalia for three different wedding events (an intimate church ceremony, our welcome party, and the wedding day itself), and let me tell you...she did her thing! She was professional, punctual, and precise, yet brought this wonderfully calm, grounding energy that I truly needed on a day full of emotions. She also took the time to ask questions and understand my (very tricky) family dynamics, making sure to prioritize what mattered most to me while still staying true to her signature style. After we booked her for the wedding, we got to plan our engagement session too. I showed up with a bag full of disco balls, confetti, champagne, and multiple outfit changes, and she RAN with it! No hesitation, no stress - just total creative freedom and fun. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable, like we could be our fullest & most authentic selves. I’ve already recommended Thalia to my closest friends and even complete strangers because EVERYONE deserves to have their love story captured by her. If you’re on the fence...book her. You’ll be endlessly grateful you did!

THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHER YOU WILL FIND! We’ve used Carly for many family sessions, our engagement session (in Red Rock, NV), and of course our wedding, and I plan to stay in contact and use her for family sessions in the future! We got married during COVID and she was so helpful with being accommodating to our small ceremony, and booking us for our reception next year. Not to mention, she helped us find an officiant, and has been able to answer every question I had about weddings in general. Her knowledge in the industry goes far beyond photography/videography. Carly radiates joy and love to every single couple that she is with. My husband is not a fan of pictures, but he leaves sessions with the Drzazgas in a great mood, Carly is so good at making us laugh! All of our photos turn out GORGEOUS!!! Pictures are something I truly cherish and she always does the most perfect job at capturing all of our special moments that we will be able to look at forever. She is incredibly talented at what she does, but she is also an incredible person who would be the perfect choice for your special day. Not only do I feel like we had the best photographer and photos, but I also feel like Carly became a friend throughout our process and knows our story so well. I could not recommend her more.

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.

She made the planning process seamless and we were happy to have gotten to know her during our engagement shoot. Then at the wedding - she was ON! She kept our families in line AND ON TIME, which is not a small task. She even helped coordinate a surprise with my husband that left me speechless! Our wedding was all about the details and she absolutely captured that. AND THE PHOTOS! Aside from being a wonderful person to spend the day with, Jess is a true artist! The photos are absolutely gorgeous, and my husband and I feel SO LUCKY that we get to cherish them forever.

Owner, Daniela Monzi, specializes in elopement and intimate wedding photography. With each couple she works with, she strives to show off the unique traits of their love story in every photo. Her passion for her work is most deeply connected to the process of telling people’s stories through photographs. Most of Daniela's work centers around the human experience, our shared existence, and the quest for revealing the truest form of each person that she documents.

Awarded Best of Zola
My partner and I eloped last weekend at SF City Hall and just opened our sneak peek of Dani's coverage of the day... The photos are beautiful and so authentic to us as a couple. She did an incredible job and we are so happy that we were able to work with her. Throughout the process, Dani was very communicative and available to answer all of our questions. She also took the time to get to know each of us individually, our story as a couple, and our goals/hopes for the day which I think really contributed to her nailing the vibe we were going for. She helped us brainstorm how to get the most out of our 3-hour shoot time and we were able to get in an impressive amount of shots in two different locations without feeling rushed or stressed. Throughout the shoot, she did a great job balancing directing us with letting us just exist together, which resulted in really natural looking photos of us that don't have an overly-posed look. But she definitely got both of our good sides lol. She also handled a high-traffic wedding day at SF City Hall with grace-- there were lots of couples getting married at the same time and it took some coordinating to get the best shots, but she made it happen! Dani is warm, respectful and kind and brought exactly the kind of energy we needed to our wedding day! It goes without saying, but I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to commemorate their special day.

So, when my Husband and I got Engaged, we called Eddie right away hoping he would be available for 1 of our 2 desired dates. Luckily, he was and there is no doubt he was a key component in making our Wedding the magnificent day it was. From the gorgeous Engagement photos, communication in-between and through the Wedding Day, Eddie was knowledgeable, creative and made our photography experience smooth and easy. Eddie considered all our requests and inquiries on types of photo documentation and was always available within 24 hours either by phone, text or email. Not bothered by any challenge, Eddie was always personable, wearing a Smile. Recognition also goes to Eddie’s colleague, Angelo whose talent and added support in covering our Wedding as our 2nd photographer ensured we got beautiful shots of the whole day.

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.

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.

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.

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 at The Lovely Lens was an absolute GEM!! Our wedding was not the typical / traditional ceremony-- on purpose! Leading up to the big day, Celia kept lines of communication open (so helpful for planning) and was 1000% supportive of our special day being so...well, special! She was such a total champ while capturing every moment in the pouring rain. She was fully prepared for the weather & didn't miss one beat! My partner and I instantly felt at ease and loved our time together with her. She encouraged us to be our authentically goofy selves! Her presence was so warm, her energy was delightful, and her work was STUNNING! Seriously, I'm obsessed with the photos! Not only do we have incredible images from this amazing day, but we also have wonderful memories with Celia. She was so friendly and kind us as well as to our family and friends, and immediately jumped on board with our 'potluck bbq at Grandma's house' vibe. By the end of the day she felt like part of the family as we chatted about our furkids and exchanged on where to order some cute socks with their faces on them, haha. If you're looking for an absolute powerhouse of an artist to capture your day in the way that doesn't feel awkward or intrusive, or if you're looking for a photographer with genuinely good vibes and authentic energy, or if you're looking for someone to simply help tell your love story through stunning imagery-- please consider The Lovely Lens of Celia for your special day. 3

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.

Sydney was a dream to work with for our wedding! She is so kind and easy-going, she instantly eased all of my wedding day anxieties. She truly does it all and was essential in making our day run smoothly. From fixing my veil, to bustling my dress, and wrangling up our wedding party all while getting fantastic photos. She really is so talented at what she does by capturing all of the in-between, authentic moments that you want to remember forever. Our photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined and are so timeless, we will cherish them for the rest of our lives. We couldn’t recommend her enough not only because of her beautiful work but for the person that she is!!!

We absolutely loved Joe & Ashley!!! They did both our engagement and wedding photos/videography. I truly cannot say enough good things about them. We never felt awkward with them, they directed us and our bridal party effortlessly. They were SO fun and friendly. They made our day flow smoothly and effortlessly. Not once did I worry about timelines or getting all of our shots completed. We received numerous compliments throughout the night about how great they were. They are honestly amazing at what they do and I highly recommend them. The photos we have received thus far are beautiful. If you want someone who’s personable and that will absolutely nail your photos that you’ll cherish forever, these are your people!!
