Hey there! Welcome to my Zola page! I am a NYS based traveling wedding photographer! I grew up in Rochester, NY and have always had a love for photography! Here at Natalie Plunkett Photography, I hold both myself and my photographers accountable for being not only being a positive influence, but also a respectful and supportive person. My studio empowers the ideal of everyone is a person, regardless of gender, race, and religion.

Natalie was such a sweetheart! Took the cutest photos of my boyfriend and i in a flower field. The candid ones we didn’t even know she took were the best part. She effortlessly captures the moment. She made the environment so friendly and comfortable. The experience was so fun and we got everything we dreamed of and more with our photos. I’ve already reached out to have her take more photos for me!

Megan Dailor Photography 

5.0

Rochester, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,450

Hey there, I’m Megan! I’m a wedding photographer based in Rochester, NY that specializes in truly connecting with my couples. I live for the moments when I can capture my couples being entirely and authentically themselves. The icing on the cake is delivering them the most beautiful images to look back on and watching their families grow for years to come.

Awarded Best of Zola
Let us make this easy by saying if Megan is available, book her. Also if you have a dog and want someone who will love them almost as much as you do, book her. It will be the easiest and best decision of your wedding planning process. We wish we had the right words to describe how incredible Megan is. From the very beginning she took time to get to know us, and truly went above and beyond in so many ways. We were instantly comfortable around Megan which was more important than we realized when hiring a photographer. Seeing our photos now, she truly captured our personalities and moments she knew would be important to us. We are not exaggerating when we say our photos are more beautiful than we could've imagined, and they made us cry in public when we saw our preview. On top of having moments we will cherish forever, Megan was so supportive of us regardless of what challenge came our way. The weather did not cooperate and we were crushed that our ceremony had to go with plan B, so Megan without hesitation mapped out the venue to find covered areas so we could still have photos with the outdoor scenery. When we share our photos people are shocked to learn that it rained that day. The day of the wedding can be so stressful, especially when things don’t go as planned, and having Megan’s expertise, guidance and reassurance was so incredibly valuable. We are counting down the days until we hire Megan again, mostly because our dogs miss hanging out with her almost as much as we do.

Michael Fisher Photography

Rochester, NY
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,450

Personally, I’ll totally take timeless and authentic over trendy any day. To me, authentic moments always make for more beautiful and personal photographs. Because of this, it’s truly important to me that your wedding pictures say something real about you and who you are as a couple at the beginning, on this day together.

We had such a great experience with Michael as our wedding photographer. He made planning and communication easy; very responsive and he encouraged us to meet a few times before the wedding. During these meetings we went over the schedule and any updates that should be added and Michael really spent time getting to know us and what we wanted from our pictures. On the wedding day, we felt well prepared for our schedule and confident that he would capture the moments and people that were important for us. Neither of us are comfortable being in front of a camera and both Michael and his second photographer, Devon, helped us have fun and relax. I would absolutely recommend him!

Nice to Meet You, I’m Katie! I am the photographer behind Kathryn Anne Photography! I am based in Rochester, NY, I’m down to travel anywhere that documents your love story best! I started this business because I have a passion for creating art, but also a heart for capturing authenticity. Moments that capture who you are, what is important to you, and what makes you, well, you!

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.

I am a healer, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Intuitive Tarot and Past Life Regression Reader, clay artist, self-taught photographer, chased of natural light, bee lover. Photography is my creative happy place and for as long as I can remember, I've always carried a camera around my neck. I'm an art enthusiast, a hopeless romantic and a documenter of soulful memories and joyful love stories that will last a lifetime. I am meticulous in my work, yet at the same time, I can improvise in the moment. A wedding is never a challenge should it go off planned course, but rather a series of enchanting opportunities.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved working with Ella! I was looking for a photographer I could click with, friendly and artistic. After a long search, I was happy to come across her page. I contacted her with a thousand and one questions, and she was sweet and responded in a timely fashion. She advised on venues that might accommodate my guests, djs she's worked with, catering businesses that her previous brides used, florists - I mean, I was so happy to have an insight, as a new bride I had no idea where to turn, and I was happy to get her help. On our wedding day, Ella was everywhere I turned my head. She got to the venue a little before our scheduled time and took pictures of our venue and table décor and scouted places we could do our family and bridal pictures at. I wanted a first look with my Dad - and Ella organized that to happen without ruining the moment. I liked that she suggested things I haven't thought about, like a first look with my bridesmaids, cute pictures with my flower girls, etc. Every detail I wanted, Ella captured, and so much more. Our wedding pictures are so beautiful, I sit and look through them every few months and sometimes I print different ones for our living room walls.

Dani T Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,550
  • Serves Rochester, NY

I've photographed 100+ weddings and countless engagements during this wild ride of a career, that started about 10 years ago. Trust me, when I say, I have seen it all. From busting my best moves on the dance floor, getting that wild uncle away from the bar for family formals, to making sure you feel like the baddest B in the room..I've got you! Need help with a timeline, what to wear for your engagement session or what location is going to rock your world? I've got it under control.

Dani is undeniably exceptional. Her work starts weeks/months before wedding day as she makes a point to get to know you, your vision, any pertinent family details and dynamics, and how she can capture not just our day but who you are. My now husband doesn't love being in front of the camera but she made him feel comfortable and at ease. She has a way of blending in perfectly while having a fun and calming presence that was very much needed. Dani's eye is amazing and our photos were romantic, fun, and stunning! We had a very unique wedding at a wildlife museum in update New York where everything was DIY. She noticed every detail and could read the room as well as our DJ. We are so grateful for her for helping us to embrace our special day and giving us memories through her photos that will last the rest of our lives. Do yourself a favor and include her in your wedding day or any other special moment you want captured. If you are lucky you'll also walk away with a lifelong friend.

Capturing the perfect shot isn't just about clicking a button – it's about feeling the vibe of the room with finesse and a special eye. From directing family formals to wrangling tipsy groomsmen (hey, it happens!), I've got the knack for orchestrating those must-have photos. I also know when to step back and snag those authentic, unfiltered moments (like drunk groomsmen dancing!) that make your story complete.

Kenzie Gates Photo was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding photography. Kenzie's communication throughout the planning process was fast, quick, and informative - she always responded to messages within a day and kept us updated on timelines and details. The quality and value of her work is magnificent, breathtaking and phenomenal. She perfectly captured the special moments of our wedding day and got all the pictures we could have ever dreamed of. Her artistic eye and talent shine through in the photos. The final wedding album she designed told the story of our love beautifully. I would highly recommend Kenzie Gates Photo to any couple looking for a photographer who delivers exceptional results and is a pleasure to work with.

With unwavering inclusivity, I capture the spirit of all my clients, including the LGBTQ+ community. I love what I do and because of that, I put my all into it.
