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!

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 and laughing. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lacie was absolutely phenomenal to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the moment we jumped on a phone call to see if they were a right fit, I knew they would be. Her enthusiasm, understanding, outgoing way that she relates to people is an energy that you want on your big day. Our engagement session was incredible, she moves so quickly but efficiently, as to ensure you get all the shots you want, but is very mindful of time. Our wedding day was COMPLETE because of Lacie. In addition to her positive attitude, she helped smooth the timeline of events during the day when exterior factors were impacting the photography, and problem solved so wonderfully on the spot. She stepped in to help in moments that were above and beyond what we hired her for, and for that I am truly grateful. Her photography style is versatile and beautiful, specifically catered to your preference. I can't imagine a better photographer for our wedding and we are so grateful!

He made the whole process super comfortable and fun and had so many creative ideas. Michael is extremely talented and worked diligently to get my husband and I our photos in a timely manner. First he did a mini sneak peak, then a larger sneak peak and then the full album. He did a fantastic job staying in communication to inform us when we would receive each batch of photos. His attention to detail and professionalism made working with him an incredible experience!

Among my never-ending list of dream sessions is of course a wedding at Disneyworld and the ultimate outdoorsy engagement session with the wild horses at Shackleford Banks. Don't be surprised when I ask you to add me to your pinterest boards so I can fangirl over your wedding plans.

As a wedding photographer with roots in Europe and a heart in the United States, I bring a unique blend of cultural influences and experiences to my craft. Born and raised in Eastern Europe, I developed a passion for photography that has only grown stronger during my last few years in the United States. For the past 6 years, I have dedicated myself to the art of wedding photography, capturing the love and joy of couples on their special day.

Working with Kandid Art was overall a great experience! They showed up on time and made sure we got all the shots we wanted. Though the wedding ran a bit behind, they were flexible. The photos turned out beautiful, and they got creative with the locations given the cold, rainy weather. They even got some funny shots of the kids at the wedding that are some of my favorites! The video was also good, although I don't love that they had to use like stock music for the background (I guess it's because of copyright issues with other songs?). I wish they would have included audio of the vows rather than the cheers of the attendees, so make sure you ask them to do that if you want it! I do love that they provided us with all the raw video footage though, as some of the most special moments didn't make the highlight video. Due to the event running behind, the cost increased a bit (which I was asked about after the wedding) due to the 2 photographers needing to split up to cover the shots. I wish they had asked me or the Wedding Coordinator about that on the day of so we could understand better what was the issue, but it was a minor thing in terms of communication. Overall 8/10 rating and would recommend.

Awarded Best of Zola
I seriously can’t put into words how amazing she was and cannot recommend her enough. She was great to have around on our wedding day and I am so happy with our photos. The groomsmen didn't have their act together, even though she provides a detailed schedule, and she was totally chill about it and was like no biggie I'll be back in 30. My fiancé commented on how awesome she was (didn't comment on any other vendors) and one of his groomsmen did too (see first pic). This was before we even saw the pics and they turned out better than I could have imagined. At one point I told her I was done taking pics I wanted to go talked to people and dance, so was a little worried if we got enough shots, but was blown away with the results. I also told her I didn't care that much about getting ready pics but wanted a lot of guest candids and she delivered. She also got way more getting ready pics than I even expected. We didn't want to spend money on a second photographer and she was fine with that and got all the pics we wanted on her own. She truly listened to what we wanted and was incredible at communication and organization. On top of that, she is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met, and truly a calming presence during all of the chaos on wedding day. I feel sooo lucky we found her.

Julia is truly the BEST photographer out there and she makes everyone look SO GOOD!! We booked her for both our engagement session and our wedding because we loved her so much! She is so skillful at finding beautiful angles and working with natural lighting, and she was great at directing us with suggested poses that didn’t look forced or unnatural. She was also really easy to work with: we met up beforehand to communicate our vision and discuss the kinds of photographs that we wanted for the engagement session and we did that again for our wedding. On our wedding day Julia brought her husband Leo who is also a photographer to assist her and they came early in the morning to begin taking scenery photos, details, and other things while the rest of us got ready. She was there with us throughout the entire day all the way til the end of the evening and she went out with us to take some sunset photos in the middle of the reception, which turned out so beautifully! Finally, Julia was super prompt at sending us the final photographs, which I know she worked hard on because there were A LOT! We can tell that Julia truly enjoys what she does and really wants to get the best photos possible so she always goes above and beyond. I think the phenomenal photos that we’re sharing here can speak for themselves. She was such a joy to work with and we can’t wait to find some other excuse to hire her again!!

Bethany and Raquel are artists of the finest caliber and they will deliver above and beyond your expectations. I cannot stress this to you enough: Book them immediately! They excel at both pieces of the wedding photographer's role: the experience of having them photograph the event, and the photos they deliver at the end. On your wedding day: They of course will follow your requested shoot list, portraits of family, and whatever else you want to prioritize for your wedding day. *But the real magic they deliver is that everyone forgets they are there.* Your family doesn't feel like they're being stalked by paparazzi or in a never ending staged photo shoot. I don't know how they do it, they didn't meet anyone in my family before our wedding, but every photo they delivered was an authentic reflection of that person and the moment. Nothing felt strained, staged, or uncomfortable for the subjects. Several of my family members, including my husband, don't love being photographed, and they were both so sensitive to that without losing anything important. They melt into the background and capture the smallest, lovely moments you didn't even know were happening. When they deliver the photos: The story of our wedding was told brilliantly in the first set of preview photos, which they delivered very quickly after the wedding, and even more so when we saw the full set of photos and the album. They are very responsive and delivered the shots exactly on the promised timeline and of course answered every single question we could have had along the way. They also helped us create a timeline for the day which kept everything on track and as planned which helped keep my head on straight! They weave the narrative structure beautifully - the wedding album they delivered (after very politely waiting for a long time for me to mark my favorites) is truly a work of art. 10/10 recommend to a friend!

When I first started wedding photography, I made a goal of being more than just the photographer on your big day. I made it my goal to be your friend, someone you can crack inside jokes with, and someone who isn't afraid to get down + have fun at the reception (while still doing her job). I made it my goal to capture more than just photos, but an experience. Whether it’s high in the mountains, on a beach near the ocean, in a forest meadow - you deserve to get married however you want to & I want to capture it for you.

L & L Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding day. Lexi, one of the photographers, was incredibly effective and charismatic in her communication style, making the experience fun and easy. She was patient in answering all our questions and ensuring every moment was captured beautifully. The quality of their work is truly top tier, and their services are very affordable, making them a tremendous value. Lexi rocked every single moment, seamlessly blending into the celebration and creating absolute magic with her moody, romantic photography style. I've worked with many photographers, and Lexi is now my go-to - I cannot recommend L & L Photography highly enough.

Hello there!! I'm here to give you a meaningful, stress-free, and authentic experience while capturing your love in a unique way. I want to help you throughout your entire planning process. Together, let's document your memories and create beautiful images. My hope is that your photos leave you with effortless memories. I'm based in Texas but I travel all over the world. I am a creative photographer with 5 years of shooting experience. I also just recently learned videography! I've enjoyed photography my whole life but never knew how amazing it was to actually be behind the lens and bring my vision to life.

I had both my engagement pictures taken by this wonderful photographer and my husband and I are so in love with them. She was very quick, very professional, and makes you feel very comfortable.

Emily was a dream to work with for our wedding is August! She was the first vendor we booked for both photo and video and I’m so glad we decided to work with her. She was responsive, communicative, and transparent from the beginning. On our wedding day she was extremely clear and professional (especially with some difficult family members!) and made sure we were relaxed throughout. Most importantly, our photos and videos came out incredible! She is talented beyond her years thanks to her experience with some of Buffalo’s best wedding photographers. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a photographer!
