  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Rochester, NY



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

My partner and I hired Sean for our engagement photos and we were extremely impressed! He was super helpful in helping us pose and very skilled in the ways he used lighting to capture our best features. He captured really genuine moments with such skill. He also made sure the job was well done and he got all the photos that we could have wanted. We had a blast working with him! The photos are stunning and I genuinely can’t stop looking at them! My partner and I tend to feel awkward getting our picture taken but Sean created such a comfortable space for us. We would highly recommend booking Sean.

I am a human being who has chosen a path of art as a career. It may surprise you to learn that I have a masters degree in mental health counseling.

To know that I can live my life through my art for you is a true gift. I am so excited to meet you!

Valerie is the best photographer we could have ever asked for all of our life events. I met her through a mutual friend that used her as a wedding photographer and have never gone back. The amount of love, detail, intention and creativity that comes from her is beyond words. I have used her for engagement, boudoir and my wedding photography and i will forever want to see my life through her eyes & creativity. She only surrounds herself with people that make every moment so special, and shares all her values and for that i will forever trust her with capturing all the special moments in my life. Trusting Val with documentation of your special moments will forever make them that much more special, and cherished. She truly cares about making everyone's experiences their own and goes to beyond measures to make sure you feel comfortable, and checks in frequently to make sure you have no reservations.

Abigail Lynn Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

I'm SO glad you're here! I'm Abby, a photographer born and raised in the heart of the Finger Lakes (and will never let anyone forget it- proud Keuka girl for life!) currently living in Rochester, NY. I'm a dog-loving, sunflower obsessed, enneagram two, people person. And newly married to the sweetest of sweet husbands.

Awarded Best of Zola
What can I possibly express with words alone about Abby Arnold and her team? Abby is an exceptional human being and professional. She feels simultaneously like an unknowable entity and a long time friend or family member. She makes her clients feel extremely comfortable while also being so well-organized and accommodating. She has excellent artistic direction. I barely had to do anything, and when I look at my photos I feel like I don't know myself. I have never looked so beautiful, I didn't know I could even take pictures like this! She and her team worked overtime to make all my dreams come true, and I will be forever grateful for their hard work and dedication. These photos of my family and friends, who are from all over the country, finally all together in one place, will be cherished for the rest of my life. I would hire Abby and her team a million zillion times over, and I think you should too. Give her the opportunity to read your late night emails with all your pinterest inspiration attached. Allow her to soothe your anxieties about not looking tall enough or not knowing how to pose. Watch in awe as she wrangles your unpredictable family members into one beautiful photo you will value for the rest of your days. She is amazingly talented and a great person to be around in general. I will be forever thankful!

Jacalyn Meyvis Photography 

5.0

Rochester, NY
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $6,600

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.

Nice to Meet You, I’m Katie! I am an editorial wedding and elopement based in Rochester, NY. I specialize in digital and 35mm film photography, and aim to create art that is ethereal, emotional, and elegant. I love being creative, documenting moments in an artistic way, and truly celebrating with my couples!

Katie and her team at Kathryn Anne Photography were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From our first meeting, Katie's kind, clear, and consistent communication made me know I had picked the right photographer. 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.
