Cheyenne Lee Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,500
  • Serves Utica, NY

Upstate New York-based wedding photographer that believes in breaking in the rules and keeping the energy laid-back and fun. That's right, we do things a little differently around here. Believe me when I say I get it, having your picture taken is scary stuff. Now throw in the nerves and stress of a wedding day and you're a freakin' hot mess. Here at CLP I'm fully invested in you and in making your wedding day kick-ass!

My husband and I got married in June of this year. One of the hardest vendors for us to choose from in the beginning was a photographer. Once we met with Cheyenne, we knew she was the perfect fit for us. She was so personable and kind from the first meeting with us. She did an amazing engagement photo shoot with us back in September of last year and gave us option to choose where ever we wanted for the location and also helped give suggestions to a location as there are so many to choose from! Cheyenne was also tremendous in figuring out our wedding day timeline. This was something my husband and I were both stressed about just making sure we had everything right, but she just asked us simple questions and did everything from there! This was so beyond helpful! She also shared it with all of vendors after she put the timeline together too. Fast forward to our wedding day - she was nothing short of amazing!! She got there early to check out the venue first and then was right on it with photos of the guys and then the girls! Cheyenne captured amazing photos from every single part of our day. I attached just a few that she captured. She was amazing getting all of our family pictures done after the ceremony too! Cheyenne also bustled my dress for me before the reception with ease and so quickly! This was beyond helpful and so kind of her as it wasn’t something she had to do, but she was so happy to do it! She was with us for almost 12 hours on our wedding day and had a smile on her face the entire time. She is so genuine and amazing at what she does. We are so thankful that we did because she’s the absolute best! One more thing that Cheyenne does that I didn’t see a lot of vendors do that was so helpful - you can do a payment plan with her and pay every few months before your wedding (depending when you book). This was really helpful as weddings are expensive of course so having this option really helped us plan and prepare better! Make sure you book Cheyenne! You will NOT regret it, I promise!

Juliette Zyg Picture Studios 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Utica, NY

Hiiiii! I'm Juliette, and I've been wedding photographer and videographer for around seven years. I specialize in nostalgic and cinematic imagery and video, and lead with a documentary approach, mixed with editorial aesthetic (usually for direct flash portraits, which are my favorite). Whether you’re having a wild wedding weekend, a thoughtful woodsy elopement or a grand celebration at an estate, I'm here for it. Upstate New York is my home base, but I love to travel. When I'm not photographing weddings, you can usually find me listening to Taylor Swift, getting coffee with my husband, Teddy, or drawing in my sketchbook.

Awarded Best of Zola
Juliette was the most amazing photographer for our wedding. She was always quick to respond and very helpful during the planning process and during the day of she was able to pivot with unexpected rain, keep hopes up and was a calm force that carried us through the day. Her style of pictures is STUNNING and she was able to get our (many) family pictures done very quickly so that we could enjoy the wedding to the fullest extent. She sent us so many pictures the day after our wedding as a sneak peak and we cannot stop staring at them! She is truly an amazing photographer and I cannot recommend her more to anyone considering working with her or looking for an A wedding photographer.

Nicole Lagoe Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Utica, NY

Hey- I'm Nicole. When I'm not working with the raddest couples I'm typically brewery hopping with my wife, or home spending time with my three dogs. I live for SU basketball, and love just about any other Syracuse sports team (Crunch, Mets - count me in). I have been photographing weddings for over ten years, and in that time have had the opportunity to travel around the world and meet tons of new friends.

Awarded Best of Zola
We could not have been happier with Nicole. She was always responsive and easy to communicate with. When we had our engagement shoot, she was enjoyable to work with and took incredible photos. From that point we never felt anxious about any aspect of the wedding photos, because we knew we had found the best photographer we could possibly find, and we were totally right! We love our photos so much, and I can't recommend that peace of mind highly enough. She is incredibly talented and efficient, quickly understood what we wanted and managed to give us everything we hoped for without disrupting the big day in any way. Many of our guests have commented on how great the photos were and how amazing it was that our photographer captured them while never getting in the way. Working with Nicole was easily one of the best decisions we made in the wedding planning process!

  • Serves Utica, NY

We all start this wild journey one way or another. My way? I was introduced to Ansel Adams’ work in a Photo 1 class in high school. How would the kids say this… his black and whites were giving adventure? What I mean is, they were nice. I had already been hiking the Adirondacks for 15 years at that point, why couldn’t I do it? Why couldn’t I take those photos too? I set out to prove to myself I could. Over the past decade I’ve evolved from landscapes to sports to family portraits to weddings. I continue all of those today. Never forget your roots, right?

Awarded Best of Zola
There aren’t enough words to describe how excellent our experience was working with Joe, and we couldn’t be happier with the service he provided to us for our engagement and wedding pictures. He made us feel very comfortable and relaxed, all while being so patient with us and our wedding party. He captured our entire wedding day from the moment we started getting ready to the time we left our reception. I had an extensive list of “must have” shots and he was able to capture all of them. The quality of the photos exceeded all of my expectations and I couldn’t recommend him more! He’s an absolute pleasure to work with and you will not be disappointed with his work!

The Story Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Utica, NY

Wedding photography that matters is about the people and the feelings of the wedding day. It's not about the poses that I might imagine or the pretty details that surround the day. My passion is in finding the beauty in the REAL moments of a wedding day and preserving those to not only remind you of that love but to share it with generations to come.

There are no words to describe how incredible Chris is. He was calm, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Truly one of our favorite vendors. We were floored when we got our pictures back. He captured everything beautifully and we hardly knew he was there! At the end of the night he gave us the kindest words and smiles. Do not even think twice about contacting him - he is the real deal and will make the process easy.

Welcome to Emily Woznica Photo. I am a Wedding Photographer based in Syracuse, NY that photographs weddings all over CNY. I am a true to color and natural light photographer. This means your photos are tastefully enhanced and still match the moment. I primarily work with couples and my work ranges from engagements, weddings, family sessions and more. Things that inspire my me are historical architecture, stone, sunsets, and water. I have a calm and laid back personality, but I am genuinely passionate about serving my clients to ensure they receive the quality photos they deserve.

Emily, and her colleague Katie, were absolutely incredible to work with. From day one meeting via Zoom, she made me feel fully at ease and brought that same warm, but organized, energy to the actual wedding day. She got all of the shots we asked for - and then some! Throughout the day, she was gentle but firm in guiding us to stay on track with schedules (my family is notoriously horrible at this) and I'm just so appreciative I had her presence there on my special day. She even climbed through the woods to get some sunset photos of me atop a hill - a ridiculous demand of mine but she did it with a smile. I feel like I made a new friend in her! Thank you again, Emily and Katie, for the amazing captures you took - you did a wonderful job. 11/10, highly recommend!

Her years of wedding coordination and event experience were truly evident throughout every step of the day. Not only was she totally on top of keeping us on our timeline and capturing all of the special moments, but she even went into super hero mode and on the spot sewed one of my bridesmaids dresses in the bathroom right before the ceremony without showing an ounce of stress. We already received our preview photos and are truly blown away by how she captured our love & our special day. Her attention to detail, calming presence, and creative approach are truly invaluable and we will be recommending her to everyone we know for years to come!

We cannot say enough good things about Heather and her team. I discovered Heather in a bride group and knew that I just had to have her as my photographer. I expected beautiful photos, but we got so much more. Heather and her team made our wedding era so wonderful. She treats you like a best friend she’s known her whole life. Not to mention her team’s passion for travel. Heather and Andrew traveled 6 hours each way for our engagement photo shoot, then again for our wedding. Their attention to detail and passion for real-life photos really makes the perfect wedding album. They captured every important moment. We are so thankful. We could not recommend the team enough!

  • Serves Utica, NY

There is nothing I love more than photographing weddings - a day full of raw emotion and I get to document and make art of out it! I'm a newlywed so I totally get what you're going through! We recently adulted hard and bought a house - next up is a dog! Please tag me in all funny dog videos :) I love occasionally working out, always eating cookies, and watching nonstop romantic comedies - especially while I edit (let's not talk about how many times I've seen Dirty Dancing). Can't wait to meet you!

Absolutely THE BEST! It has been a month after our wedding and looking through our hundreds of wedding pictures just takes us back to that magical day. Michelle does an amazing job as your photographer the day-of but also helps guide you every step of the way during the pre-planning stages. Here's a few reasons why you HAVE to pick Michelle if you connect with her style: *She will make you feel comfortable in front of the lens. We were very unsure as to what to do during our engagement shoot and we definitely did not want our pictures to come out as very posed, stiff or fake. Michelle took care of this in an instant, we got to talk, laugh, tell dad jokes throughout the shoot and our pictures came out like US which is what we truly wanted. The same goes for the day of the wedding, with a 12 person bridal party and multiple family configurations, Michelle was able to make everyone comfortable and naturally pose for our pictures. Not to mention, she was able to organize everyone for the church exit with the rice throw in a matter of minutes! *She will listen to what you want and provide her honest feedback with her years of experience. We were very set of having an engagement shoot in Jersey City not only was it crazy to get there, we got washed out with a huge storm (none the less she got great shots in a matter of 10 minutes!). She suggested we did another try but something more local like where we lived in Morristown. Not only were we more comfortable because we knew where to go, the pictures came out again looking more genuine in our hometown. *She is incredibly professional, takes her job seriously AND has an awesome personality. We got our pictures both for the engagement and wedding within a matter of weeks with some sneak previews the very next day! No watermarks and the possibility of downloading all of them instantly. She does her job with a smile on her face that is just contagious!

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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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

I am so glad you're here! I LOVE my family and I am OBSESSED with anything Kate Spade and if I could live in yoga pants, I would. My favorite thing to do other than photography is cook. I am lucky my husband and kiddos love eating as much as they do! We love the beach and anything Disney! I fully believe in having ice cream for breakfast and I cannot pass by a good Italian restaurant without going in. My heart melts when my boy says I love you or kisses my cheek. Being a photographer has allowed me to freeze some of our sweetest moments and I hope to be able to do that for you. xoxo

Wow Lauren's work is stunning! I loved her style before I got engaged and knew I wanted to work with her for my wedding. I am so thankful I had her there. She was on top of my timeline and made sure I got exactly what I wanted for my photos. My groom was dreading pictures and she made it fun. It was our favorite part of the night

Awarded Best of Zola
Hayley Anne is an AMAZING photographer! I had the pleasure of working with her at a wedding in upstate New York and the results were out of this world. Hayley seemed very laid back and personable during the shoot, but looking at the results, you can see just how diligent and focused she was in capturing all the details in every moment, all while always keeping the technicalities of composition in mind. For the dancing portion, there's so much action captured, it rivals some of the best I've seen. There's even photos of a guest being hoisted (or perhaps launched!) into the air by a friend, which to me serves as a reminder that you can only capture these details if you have a photog who is keenly aware and lightning quick. If you are looking for a photographer who can capture the unique personalities of your family members, all the fine details, and all the dancefloor action without breaking a sweat, I would absolutely recommend Hayley!

Anna is absolutely incredible and such a pleasure to work with. She really knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work is absolutely phenomenal as well. I have never been so pleased with a photographer before! Her editing is beautiful and she really can just capture emotions in her photos. Her photography became my favorite aspect of my wedding.

I honestly don’t have enough words to describe how much I cherish the photos that she has taken for the special moment in our lives.

Welcome! And Congratulations! I am a Wedding & Family Photographer based in Plattsburgh, NY. I grew up in Charlotte, VT where I fell in love with Lake Champlain and all the beauty that Vermont has to offer. I now live in Rouses Point, NY and continue to be drawn by Lake Champlain and its charm. When I am not behind the camera capturing the authenticity of my clients moments I am spending quality time with my husband, his two beautiful children and our two dogs. We spend our summers on Lake Champlain and our winters inside the hockey rink. My love of photography started the moment I held my first camera. I hope to share that passion with you!

Our outdoor photos were beautiful. Kyla set clear thoughtful expectations during our consult. This lead to a tailored photo shoot with all the elements we hoped for and more! We were so happy with our pictures, we were able to print our photo-invitations and send them out with a week if the shoot. Supurb!

Being the daughter of first-generation immigrants, I saw how precious photos become in life. Some photos are the only tangible connection we have to a person or place that is dearly missed. Thanks to my dad, I was introduced to the world of photography the same day I was introduced to the world. Because of my parents, our memories growing up are preserved. When I was 6, I received my own camera, marking the beginning of a lifelong dedication to documenting every aspect of my life.

We are absolutely obsessed with our wedding photos and videos! This team seriously brought their A-game and made our special day even more magical. From the start, they were super chill and easy to work with. On the big day, they were like ninjas, capturing every awesome moment without being in the way. They have such a knack for finding those perfect, candid shots that totally show the real us. Plus, the way they set up the posed photos. When we got our photos and the video, we couldn't stop smiling and laughing. They caught all the love, laughter, and even the crazy dance moves (hello, epic dance party!). The highlight reel was like a mini movie of the best day ever—we’ve already watched it a million times!

Our style is artistic and documentary, and can be described in three words; Sincere, Scenic, and Inspirational. Sincere, we will never ask you to act unnaturally in front of our camera; we will adjust to your personalities and photograph you as you are. Scenic, because we love beautiful landscapes and love to incorporate everyone in such environments. Inspirational, because there is always a new way or a new idea to capture a photo but in the end it's capturing that special moment.

RS Moments were the perfect wedding photographers for our special day. From the moment we first spoke with them, their communication style was considerate, kind, and unique. They truly understood the importance of capturing our day in a way that felt personal and special to us. Throughout the process, they were caring, understanding, and respectful, guiding us through different poses and angles to get the perfect shots. We loved how they incorporated unique elements like mirrors, umbrellas, and the beach to create beautiful, one-of-a-kind photos that perfectly complement our love. The results were absolutely stunning, and we are so grateful to have these memories preserved. We couldn't recommend RS Moments more highly!

I'm Jarrod. I'm a wedding photographer based in the US. Originally from Florida and now traveling full-time in a Sprinter van shooting love stories. ​I like to describe my approach to wedding photography as documentary with an editorial flare. About 80% of the day I am capturing your day as it naturally unfolds in a beautiful way. The other 20% I love to prompt you or direct you to create romantic images that have intention and FEELING. Sometimes portraits will feel romantic and editorial and other times they will feel playful and fun. It fully depends on your personal relationship. I love to tell your story as authentically as I can.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jarrod and his wife, Taylor, are truly a dream to work with! My husband and I really wanted some simple engagement photos taken, but were reluctant because we’re not totally comfortable in front of the camera and didn’t want the poses/photos to look cheesy. Taylor gave us plenty of suggestions to pose us naturally and kept us laughing which put us at ease immediately. Jarrod was such a professional and really worked every angle and background to make it look like we spent an entire day shooting. The editing was super crisp and clean and the photos came back incredibly quickly. They far exceeded our expectations and we can’t thank them enough for giving us beautiful, lasting memories from such an important time in our lives. This couple is seriously amazing - genuine, fun, and experts at what they do!! Book them!
