Valatie, NY
  • Photographer
  • Classic style

Hi Friends! I'm Courtney and I am the person behind the camera here at Reed Photography! I've been living in Columbia County (almost) all of my life! I briefly moved to New Jersey after my now husband, Jon and I got engaged 11 years ago! We've been back in the area for 10 years and have two sons, Liam and Cayden, our daughter, Mia and our "golden" child, our Golden Retriever Brody! I'm an avid country music fan, concert addict, Netflix binger, and New England Patriots fan!

Cannot say enough great things about Courtney! She felt like a friend from the very start. She was super organized in helping plan out our day and what photos/moments we wanted to capture. Her photography work from our day was amazing. I am absolutely obsessed with how our pictures came out! She caught so many moments from the reception I wasn’t around to see and I am forever grateful. She even did our maternity photoshoot too!

  • Band or Ensemble
  • Serves Valatie, NY

Jesse and Justin have been playing music together since they met performing in a band at Disneyland in 2001. After moving to Beacon, NY around the same time, it made sense to start an official wedding music business to share their love of music with some of the many happy couples getting married in the Hudson Valley. One thing they love about playing music for weddings is the variety that is required of them. Every gig is different and they all happen on one of the happiest days of the clients' lives!

You know that all encompassing feeling when you’re revisiting a vivid memory?

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.

Jessica was truly amazing to work with for our wedding day. From the very first time we spoke, Jessica had a sweet and attentive communication style that immediately put us at ease. I remember after our first virtual meeting her even sending a little thank you gift for meeting with her. And she was so kind, she asked so many questions and seemed genuinely interested about us as a couple and about our dogs! I spoke with some other photographers who seemed to care less about us as people. Which is ultimately why we went with Jessica to begin with, she was just so nice and her pictures were amazing to top it all off. Her passion for her craft was evident in the beautiful, high-quality photos she captured. Also her photo package names were so great (THE STAR WARS - "I LOVE YOU, I KNOW”)! For our engagement shoot we suffered through some of the hottest, awful, sticky, July weather and she was positive the entire time, managed to get amazing shots and deal with our crazy dogs! Before the wedding, Jessica was always easily reachable, and very on the ball. And will always be your biggest cheerleader, anytime I posted anything on Instagram, Jessica would be there celebrating, she is truly a delightful and genuine person! And I think her run through of the wedding day was the first one I got and it was perfect! And she went to the venue a week before the wedding to scope out the absolute perfect spots to take photos! On the day of the wedding, Jessica was able to calmly get every picture perfect, meanwhile making silly dad jokes to help us feel more relaxed in front of the camera. She was amazing at trying to calm down our crying moms, and giving us some moments just to ourselves, listening to literally everything we said, and always making sure we were okay, all while getting amazing shots! And all of our guests loved her! We had people reaching out during and after the wedding to tell us how wonderful Jessica was. Everyone was obsessed with her, both of our mom, my sister, my bridesmaids, even the best man kept talking about how great she was, how amazing everything went, and how nice she was with everything! Meanwhile I am sure it was like trying to her cats to get some of the photos together, especially when we both wanted huge extended family photos, but she was positive and amazing through it all! Jessica went above and beyond on our special day, making sure everything was perfect. I am sure I even missing some of the little touches she added to our wedding. And we are so grateful to have had her as our wedding photographer. She says on her website “YOU CAN CALL ME JESS (SHE/HER). AKA YOUR NEW BEST FRIEND!” And that is honestly how I felt throughout the whole process, literally love her! And I mean the photos really speak for themselves, they are absolutely flawless!

Their style and approach of helping you through those beautiful yet stressful hours that lead up to the big moment with humor and charm is also why you will love them! These are the moments where they will get the best photos of you, your family, and then of you and your one and only. They both have the clever eye to capture the moments that later, upon looking at the pictures, you will think, WOW, how did they get that?

Eddie was so easy to be around that it felt like he was a friend who just happened to be taking photos rather than a professional we hired to be there. We never felt rushed or stressed, he gives clear and easy direction, and he even learned guest's names (and instruction in another language!) to help make everyone feel comfortable. He was patient and able to maintain control even when our large group was easily distracted. We had multiple calls with him to make sure we were on the same page, he always answered emails and texts quickly, and communicating with him was a breeze. Our engagement photos were on the hottest day of 2024 and he helped us get the shots we needed in one take every time, without literally melting. He has a unique eye for capturing candid pics and silhouettes, which is exactly what we wanted. We're in LOVE with our photos and he got them back to us much quicker than we expected. I would hire him again immediately!

I am a very skeptical person when it comes to makeup. I don’t wear a lot and when I do I feel like I look like a clown. Bekah did the absolute opposite of that! I booked Bekah about a year out from my wedding after going through multiple quotes. I’m the type of person that goes with a gut feeling, and once I spoke with Bekah I instantly knew she was the one I wanted on my wedding day. From the makeup trial leading up to the day of, Bekah has been communicative, SUPER down to earth, prompt in her responses, and just straight up supportive. She worked with me through some personal kinks I had and answered all of my annoying if not trivial questions I had. We went through different styles together and COUNTLESS lip colors before she picked the perfect color for me. She even gave me the lip color as a wedding gift so I can now wear for future anniversaries! Her prices are a key point, but honestly hiring her made me want to just be her friend by the end of everything. If you’re not hiring Bekah for your wedding day, you’re doing it wrong. She fit my style and my vibe, and I’m so grateful she was the makeup artist I went with. Thank you thank you thank you

I also don't know how we would have survived our wedding day without them. Their team handled every aspect of the day and if anything went wrong, I certainly didn't know about it, which is exactly the kind of peace of mind you want your planner to offer.

The Music Boutique was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very beginning, Scott was extremely helpful and responsive, and always providing us with great ideas, suggestions, and guidance to make our day special. We had a duo playing for our ceremony and during the cocktail hour and then we had a small 3 person band playing for our reception. And it was the perfect amount of people. We had spoken to some other bands and they all kept saying we need some big band for the reception, but since we were having less than 100 people at the wedding, we didn’t think it made sense to have like a 10 person band, it just seemed like it would overwhelm the whole wedding. And we knew we wanted a band component since my father plays guitar and I had a feeling would want to play a song at some point. Then we spoke with Scott, he seemed to understand our vision of having a small band. He loved the idea of my father playing a song, and made suggestions on when was the perfect time for him to play, and even laughed along with our idea of playing “September” by Earth, Wind, and Fire, over and over again, since we were getting married on “the 21st night of September” (we did not do this)! The day of the band was amazing! They even took the time to learn our first dance song, which was a fairly unknown track, and played it beautifully, and surprised us with playing it. Since we thought it was just going to be a recorded version of the song. That was very special to us! And they were more than happy to let my dad play his song to us. Overall, the band's performance was lively and engaging, and they kept our guests dancing all night long. We couldn't have asked for a better band to help make our wedding celebration so memorable, and couldn’t have done it with Scott!

Jim and Sarah of Black Walnut Farm have created a haven for love. Every inch of their 34 acres is carefully curated for a truly magical experience. As Matt and I approached our forest ceremony enclave, filled with our loved ones, the happy tears were instant thanks to their attention to detail. We chose Black Walnut Farm, after exploring numerous venues, because of their perfectly decorated barn complete with 4 foot disco ball, manicured gardens, equally charming farmhouse to stay the weekend with family, smore station, popcorn machine, audio guestbook, and of course their property manager, Miss Lily, the barn cat. What we didn’t expect to be included in our wedding package was the amount of care, energy, support, and love we felt from Jim, Sarah, and the staff at Black Walnut Farm as they effortlessly managed the most memorable day of our lives.

They are highly organized and professional. Our wedding day was truly magical! Our guests had a wonderful time! We also really appreciate how the staff working on the day of our wedding ensured that my husband and I ate well (and remembered to eat as we interacted with our guests). The food served was delicious and we loved our wedding cake! Another great thing about booking the wedding at Diamond Mills is that the hotel is attached to the wedding venue - it was very convenient for us and our guests!

We had an initial planning meeting, he set us up with our own timeline (an app that he created!), we had a follow-up meeting and then a week-of meeting! We felt so ready when the day came but were still so surprised about how much DJ Lou did for us. He was checking to see if we were okay, pulling us away to make sure we were eating, working with our other vendors so seamlessly- our ceremony musicians, our officiant, our family band, and our photographer! It made the reception a hit among all our guests! We can't recommend him enough!

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.

Lynette and Bryndon are the best around! I used them for both my photo and video, and they give you nothing but perfection! Everything came out better than I expected. They arrived on time if not early. They were very respectful in the church. They learned my entire bridal party’s names so instead of saying “you” and pointing, they said their actual names. They were very encouraging to my husband and I throughout the day, and very helpful with anything we needed. They also were very helpful before the wedding day. Lynette helped me figure out timing for the day, and that truly helped it run smoothly and on time. They gave us a large “sneak peak” within two weeks of the wedding, and then had the entire wedding album back around 3 months. The videos came back about a month and a half after the wedding. They shot my cousins wedding back in 2021, and my friends wedding in 2023 so by my wedding they truly felt like the are apart of my family. I highly recommend pioneer media for your photography and videography needs!!

Ani's Flowers NY was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. From our very first interaction, Ani was quick to respond, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable about flowers and wedding decor. The bouquets, centerpieces, and other floral arrangements she created for our big day were absolutely gorgeous - the colors and textures were so beautiful and thoughtful.

It’s Katie if you haven’t guessed already! I’m a photographer in the Hudson Valley. My goal is to give you the newest best friend you didn’t ask for and an incredible memory you get to keep forever. I live for the giggles, full heart felt moments and even shed a tear or two at almost every wedding I attend (just because I am so freaking happy). I can’t help but be so deeply intertwined in the moment that I get lost in the love and magic of it all.

From the moment Katie from Klercker Photography arrived, she was on a mission to capture our wedding day in the most beautiful and artistic way. Her easygoing and approachable communication style immediately put us at ease, and her direct guidance helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. The quality of her work is simply priceless - the photos are jaw-dropping in their elegance and attention to detail! Katie's knowledge of lighting, setting, and composition brought out the very best in us and our venue space. We cannot recommend Klercker Photography highly enough!

Jenna Salvagin Photography

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Valatie, NY

I believe love is love and happily photograph couples of all backgrounds, orientations, religions and gender expressions. I aim to create authentic and emotive images for my clients and edit true to color so the work will be timeless. My personality is friendly and warm, which helps make my couples feel at ease and open up in front of the camera. I donate $100 from every wedding day package to a non profit organization (either the ACLU, End the Backlog or the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Foundation) because I believe paying it forward in honor of love is an excellent first step into marriage.

Jenna was recommended to us by another photographer and it was such a pleasure to work with her! We greatly appreciated how much she wanted to know us and our personalities in advance of our wedding day. We ended every zoom call or email exchange feeling confident in our decision to work with her. The weather on our wedding day wasn’t very cooperative, but Jenna and team were on the lookout for any break in the rain so that we could go up to the roof and get a few pictures. And she totally nailed them—they are some of our favorite pictures from the day. Jenna and team made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and also captured some incredible candids. If you’re looking for a fun, positive, and easy-to-work with photographer—Jenna is the right pick!

From when we chatting on Facebook to our first zoom meeting, we fell in love with Lisa. Her energy and kindness put me at ease. She was always responsive with answering every question. She commanded the day of the wedding. She even fixed my veil when I got to the ceremony. I was clueless on what I wanted. She helped every step of the way. She is one of the nicest people I have met and made me so calm throughout the wedding. I'm obsessed with our photos. Her passion for photography really shines. She had some challenges because my husband is over a foot and a half taller than me. She was able to get some amazing shots. She was able to photograph everyone from an early ceremony to dusk. She was right out there on the dance floor. She captured so many amazing moments. Lisa's photos are helping me relive this magical day. We are 2 people who don't like our photos taken. Lisa worked worked so well with us. Putting us at ease. I love candid shots and she got so many. She made sure we stayed on track. She went above and beyond to make sure our day was special and our photos are a great way to remember that day. I couldn't have asked for anything better. We have received so many compliments. I will always cherish Lisa and what she did for us.

Our wedding was this past September, and it was everything we could’ve asked for and more. Tricia and Marty both made it so easy during the entire process from booking and planning to the day of, they were so helpful, and took care of everything for us. The day flowed so smoothly with absolutely no issues whatsoever. All we had to do was show up and enjoy ourselves, and her and her crew ( who were also incredible!) handled everything for us and made for an amazing night. The landscape, flowers and decorations were beautiful, made for some very very nice pictures! We got a nothing but positive feedback about the location, the views, the food, everything. the bridal suite was perfect to get ready and hide in prior to the ceremony. She also took some incredible photos for us. They were an absolute pleasure to work with, and I hope we see them again for another wedding!

Beth was communicative, caring and provided great guidance for me as a bride who didn't have her wedding planned in her mind since she was young. I had general ideas of what I imagined, but she really created the perfect portfolio for us. She had our best interest in mind when we reviewed costs and was always finding a way to make sure my vision became reality. Not only did she provide the most beautiful ceremony arch, bouquet and sweetheart table display, she helped me choose what colors and styles in the stationary that would complement my color scheme. I would absolutely recommend her to any bride in the Hudson valley. She goes above and beyond! Lauren & Tyler, 10.18.2024

I'm Charissa owner & lead planner. My doormat says it best, 'running on coffee, wine, and the dog's time', but seriously I start every intro call with the disclaimer that you may hear the barking, snoring, or a squeaky toy in the background. I'm the twenty-something-year-old that's gone from throwing "Weddings" in her neighbor's driveway, to throwing them in some pretty amazing spaces. With over a decade of experience in weddings and corporate events, this isn't my first rodeo. Weddings are sort of my thing!

Awarded Best of Zola
I highly recommend Charissa and her team if you're looking for a wedding coordinator/planner! She is so professional, organized, and just the nicest person ever. We had so many questions and worries but Charissa helped us feel at ease throughout it all. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND on the day of the wedding... literally hauling extra chairs with her throughout the botanic gardens so we could get our photographs!! LOL! You can just tell how much she cares about her clients and we so appreciated the effort. We also had Kevin on her team set-up the decor at the venue and they did an amazing job -- we were blown away when we arrived! We got tons of compliments from our guests at how lovely the entire wedding was and I know we could not have pulled it off without Charissa / Simply Loved Weddings!!

The Garrison was the perfect venue for our winter wedding.

From the very beginning, their communication was quick, easy and incredibly helpful as we planned our big day. The views both inside and outside the venue were absolutely breathtaking.

We never thought we would find a photographer in our price range. Lyn helped us more than we could ever have thought. We were on a very tight budget and asked to removed some of the items in her package to ensure she would be the one to photograph our wedding. She was immensely passionate about our family struggles and understood that we were paying for our wedding with no help from family. Any questions I had even when they weren’t pertaining to photography, Lyn did research and found deals that helped us save money. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to work with than Lyn. She walked through every step of my wedding with us and when my wedding came, Lyn an Melissa were more than I could have ever expected! They were so personable, professional, and made sure we were comfortable every moment we were with them! After our wedding we had continually gotten compliments on how fantastic they were and how they always had a smile and never got upset when our guests asked for photos of themselves with others! When we received our photos, they absolutely blew our minds! I cried so many happy tears because I never thought I could look so beautiful! I can’t thank Lyn and Melissa enough for how spectacular they truly are! I promise you will never be disappointed after booking Lyn to be your photographer!
