Kathryn Cooper Weddings

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Russell, NY

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 are so happy with how our wedding photos came out. Kathryn was wonderful to work with. She is professional and organized, and takes amazing photos. We spoke multiple times before our wedding day so that she could capture exactly what we wanted. We developed a timeline of when we'd take different photos throughout the day, and she was able to adjust accordingly. Originally we planned to take sunset photos around 8 PM. However, my husband and I were having so much fun on the dance floor that we forgot entirely. Kathryn reminded us, but she recommended that we stay on the dance floor and enjoy our time with the band and our guests. I'm so happy she encouraged us to keep having fun, and to not leave the party for a few photos. She captured our favorite moments and I'm so happy we choose her as our photographer. We wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and delivers stunning work.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our day with Dani was like a dream come true. When my fiancé proposed in the breathtaking Lake Garda, I was completely swept off my feet. Dani’s talent shone through in every shot—each photo was a stunning capture of our joy and the beauty of the day. I found myself in tears looking through them, so perfectly did they convey our emotions. Dani had this incredible knack for giving just the right amount of direction while letting everything feel so natural and candid. It was amazing how she made us feel at ease, despite the excitement, and her presence made the whole experience flow effortlessly. Dani's warmth and skill turned what could have been a whirlwind day into a series of perfectly captured moments. I can’t recommend her enough to couples who want not just gorgeous photos but a truly heartfelt and memorable experience.

Photography for people who dread being photographed. With 15+ years specializing in camera-shy couples, I've learned that your wedding is not a generic fantasy from the interne, it's a legacy. The industry pushes couples to perform for the camera, but when you already feel awkward being photographed, that pressure can erase the real, unscripted story of your people. My approach is built for humans who hate being photographed. I create an experience that melts stiffness and anxiety so the raw, honest truth of your connection shows up and the story of everyone who matters is protected.

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the amazing opportunity to work alongside Cass as a videographer at a backyard wedding on Lyon Mountain back in August. She was incredibly chill, so kind, and was extremely respectful of what I was trying to capture from the day too. Unprecedented to any photographer I have worked with in the past, she allowed me exclusive time with the bride and groom to get more of the movement shots I was looking for and I was able to get! Never have I ever had a photographer give me the opportunity to work one on one with the couple. Hire her for your wedding, you'll get STUNNING photos and she's a blast to work with!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
We were very pleased with Kyla! She was so willing to adapt to our changes as the weather dictated. As an older couple , we didn’t feel the need to have every traditional shot .. we wanted candid shots of our family enjoying themselves along with our tiny ceremony. She blended into the background to accomplish just that and thought quickly on her feet to notice a break in the weather to get outdoor group shots and some of us by our boat . We were definitely too involved in the enjoyment of the day to look for those opportunities and we are so glad she was on it ! We love the photo memories she has created for us and would absolutely recommend her to anyone considering a photographer for their event!

I’m Donna Marie—the introverted, hella awkward + nerdy, all about the vibes and adventure(ish) soul that you can typically find behind the camera (rather than in front of it). I'm here to serve + empower all the introverted, awkward in-front-of-the-lens, adventure(ish) couples who want to have an authentic, non-traditional wedding experience across upstate and northern New York. What matters most are the emotions you experience as your wedding day unfolds. Whether that be in a place with easy to reach epic views, or any place or location that embodies who you are. I’m your go-to gal when you decide to take control of your wedding day.

Hiring Donna was the best wedding decision we made! She's insanely talented, works at a ridiculously fast pace, and was so dialed in on the day, getting every important shot, that you'd think we had 2 photographers by looking at our gallery. As if that wasn't enough already, she's incredibly supportive of her couples by being queer-inclusive and super accommodating. She was such a hit at our wedding that two guests are already determined to hire Donna for their own weddings (copycats!).

Jeremy and Jennifer are a husband and wife team! With 3:17 Photography you get two photographers to capture your day!! What is better than two people in love capturing your once in a lifetime moments? Your wedding means so much to us and we want to make your day perfect from beginning to end!!! When we started our company we promised that we would always charge what we could of afforded when we got married. We feel as though so many couples are being taken advantage of by other companies.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jennifer and Jeremy are truly the most incredible people you could have by your side on your wedding day. From the very first moment, they made us feel completely at ease, and it quickly became clear that they were so much more than photographers — they were our guides, our support system, and our calm in the chaos. Honestly, without them, so much could have gone differently; they were absolutely priceless and worth every single penny. Their professionalism, kindness, and preparedness are unmatched. From planning to execution, they thought of everything — big and small — and made sure we never had to worry about a thing. On the day itself, I watched them quietly put out fires, organize people, and ensure we had everything we needed — all while capturing the most breathtaking, emotional, and timeless photographs. Every single picture tells a story, and every story is more beautiful than we could have imagined. What really sets Jennifer and Jeremy apart is how deeply they care. We trusted them completely, and that trust was met with nothing but care, attention, and joy. Our family relied on them throughout the day more than anyone else, and they were always there with a steady hand, a kind smile, and an eye for the moments we didn’t even notice. Even with a huge team of vendors around us, they were the ones who made everything feel effortless and truly magical. Hiring Jennifer and Jeremy wasn’t just about photography — it was about having people we could trust completely to capture and protect our memories, to make the day feel seamless, and to give us photos that we will treasure forever. They are extraordinary, both as artists and as human beings, and I cannot recommend them enough. If you’re considering them, do it — they will make your wedding day everything you dreamed of and more.

In the 20 years that I've been photographing professionally, I’ve honed my skill of knowing when to step in and make things happen, and when to step back and simply *allow* things to happen. Documenting the REAL emotion of the day is how we capture those picture-perfect moments. They happen organically, not by force, and I promise you: we're not going to miss ANY of them. = )

Awarded Best of Zola
Right from the start Christopher's communication and professionalism was amazing. He was so thoughtful and informative every step of the way. He sent us a questionnaire that really helped lay out what photos we wanted to make things easier leading up to our wedding. His calming presence throughout the wedding day made it so easy for us to relax in the moment, this sense of calm and joy was perfectly captured in our photos. From beginning to end, they made every moment of our day special. Christopher and his team are exceptional and will make your wedding day seamless. They were a joy to have as part of our wedding day. We are over the moon with the results and highly recommend Christopher Duggan Photography to any couple looking for an amazing wedding photography experience!

The photographer, Jonathan, and his assistant, were absolutely amazing. They arrived early, were flexible and really accommodating to our vision. They also really hustled! They took advantage of every spare moment they had to get additional photos, and kept us on schedule super tightly. They even carried around things like bottles of water for me (the bride) as we took lots of photos in the hot upper floor of the venue. Many guests also mentioned how beautifully the photos turned out. However, we did have an issue in which, due to an injury to the editor's hand, we did not receive our photos in the agreed-upon timeframe. Had we been informed of this delay ahead of time, we would not have had any issue just waiting a bit longer. The main concern was that we weren't alerted of this delay until after the initial deadline had passed. We did request a discount due to this, which they accommodated. And the photos did still turn out amazing!

With over 11 years of experience, she works closely with her couples from planning through the wedding day, capturing honest emotion and meaningful details. When she’s not photographing weddings, she’s likely holding a dirty chai latte or re-watching The Office.

Awarded Best of Zola
If you’re looking for a photographer who captures not just moments but *feelings*, Thalia is your girl. From the second I scrolled through her Instagram feed, I knew I needed her to document our wedding. Her documentary-style photography is pure magic...she has such a natural gift for catching those small, in-between moments that so often go unnoticed. The hand-holding, the extended hugs, the quiet happy tears - she sees it all, and I’m truly beyond grateful to have had an artist like her capture those moments for us. We booked Thalia for three different wedding events (an intimate church ceremony, our welcome party, and the wedding day itself), and let me tell you...she did her thing! She was professional, punctual, and precise, yet brought this wonderfully calm, grounding energy that I truly needed on a day full of emotions. She also took the time to ask questions and understand my (very tricky) family dynamics, making sure to prioritize what mattered most to me while still staying true to her signature style. After we booked her for the wedding, we got to plan our engagement session too. I showed up with a bag full of disco balls, confetti, champagne, and multiple outfit changes, and she RAN with it! No hesitation, no stress - just total creative freedom and fun. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable, like we could be our fullest & most authentic selves. I’ve already recommended Thalia to my closest friends and even complete strangers because EVERYONE deserves to have their love story captured by her. If you’re on the fence...book her. You’ll be endlessly grateful you did!

I was overwhelmed when navigating how to choose a wedding photographer. I knew I wanted someone whose work accurately reflected the day and the people photographed, what better way than choose someone who had photographed me beautifully at a wedding! Emily was the photographer at my now SIL & BIL’s wedding. I loved her editing style and her speed of getting the right picture. I have never really loved how I look in photos, and I am hardly in front of the camera. At our engagement photoshoot at home, Emily made me feel completely at ease, and really captured great angles and unique ideas! Not only did I love how she photographed me, but I loved that it was honest. Emily shot our welcome party and our wedding. It was like see an old friend! Our guests were in awe of the photos and loved Emily’s personality. It was an absolutely gorgeous day, and possibly the most gorgeous I have ever attended, I am so glad I trusted Emily to capture the memories! What will not be shared on her public gallery are all the photos of our nieces and nephews! Emily photographed my SIL & BIL at our wedding and it was so heart warming and deeply meaningful! She was able to capture all the squirming kids in a fun way! She is truly talented and I am so grateful to have these memories for life!

After graduating from Parson's School of Art in Manhattan, I worked as a fine artist, my work involved photography and photo manipulation. I quickly discovered that I loved and excelled at photo retouching, and went on to work for some of the best photo retouching studios in New York. In 2009 I shot my first wedding, it was a dear friend of mine and the beautiful photos were featured in one of the biggest wedding magazines. I realized that I had found my calling and have been producing stunning wedding photographs with my amazing team and clients ever since.

From the moment we first spoke with Emma Cleary Photo and Video, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was clear, prompt, detail-oriented, and educational, putting us at ease throughout the entire planning process. The quality of their work was truly exceptional - the photos they captured were comfortable, beautiful, magical, ethereal, and so clean. They asked all the right questions, from inquiring about golden hour and sunset shots to handling a multitude of family and necessary photos on the day. Most importantly, Emma, the owner, was incredible. I couldn't have planned and executed my wedding without her services and immediate attention to detail, the timeline, the photos needed, her suggestions and discussions, and the seamless edits and delivery of the final products. I highly recommend trusting this business with your event or special day - they were everything I didn't know I needed, and I would hire them again in a heartbeat.

When searching for a photographer, I was overwhelmed by the number of options available. Dominique didn’t make me feel pressured. She provided us with her wedding guide, which gave us insight into who she is. When we met remotely, I instantly knew she was the one. She was enthusiastic, listened attentively, and asked us questions about what is important to us leading up to the wedding and beyond. She was great to work with, and I knew what to expect. She drafted our timeline, offered recommendations, and helped us design it based on what was important to my husband and me. She curated a family shot list, and let me tell you, she did not disappoint. Her and her team were amazing.

Nicole Lagoe Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Russell, 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.

Nicole was incredibly easy to work with and did a beautiful job capturing our day. We were nervous and had no idea how to pose and Nicole was great at direction and making us both feel comfortable. She was working non stop to capture every moment of our day and it was truly amazing. We are so happy with our choice!
