Hey there, I’m David! I’m a down-to-earth wedding photographer based in NJ, born and raised with strong family values that keep me grounded. My passion is capturing genuine connections and turning fleeting moments into timeless memories. When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me spending time with my three dogs! My mission is to capture beautifully real, candid moments—big or small—so you can relive them forever.

David was exactly what we were hoping for in a photographer and I couldn’t have asked for someone better to capture our perfect day. From our first phone call to getting our photos, David has been there for us and going above and beyond to help us and make sure our planning was going okay and just life in general. We were looking for a creative photographer to put their own spin on our photos and get some unique poses and shots and David checked that box over and over again. David uses modern technology to ensure he captures the best of your moments and enhances the environment around you for just an even better product. Above all, we felt like we made a friend due to David’s positive attitude, the laughs we shared, and eagerness to capture YOUR moment. He is obviously a master of his craft and I recommend him to anyone that is looking for creativity in their photos, while also still capturing classy and classic poses. David is an incredible photographer that I simply can’t recommend enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband Sean and I got married at the Blue Water Manor in June 2024. We are from northern NJ and took a chance on each of our vendors through their portfolios and online reviews. Jason went above and beyond what we could have ever expected from our photographer. Since we were from out of the area we had multiple phone calls to discuss timelines and specifics really helping us think of everything. Even met with us the week of to walk through the venue and other places we wanted to take photos, just rolling with it and helping us get exactly what we wanted. Nothing could have prepared us for the crappy weather we had the day of the wedding but Jason put a smile on with us and braved it. Never complained about how soaked he probably got and just did everything possible to help us have the best day. And we did. Every single one of our guests commented on lucky we were to have a photographer like him watching him in action and our photos speak to that. Even though our wedding day has come and gone we would still book Jason time and time again.

Fairytale Dreams Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Black River, NY

STOP PERFORMING & STOP PRICE SHOPPING: Your wedding is not a generic fantasy you saw online, it's a legacy. Here is the truth: The wedding industry often forces too much "performance" on the couple. This risks the loss of your genuine, unscripted story. That is why the greatest risk you face is looking back and realizing the emotional moments of your people were missed—an irreversible mistake.

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’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!).

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
We chose Christopher to photograph and videograph our sangeet celebration rather last minute as we were busy planning everything else, so it was quite a relief and so helpful to see how swiftly he communicated with us and delivered on such wonderful memories. Christopher was amazing to work with - as we had wanted, the posed photos were quick (yet came out incredible). We asked him to focus on the celebration and dancing and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. We highly recommend Christopher -- thank you for making our evening so special!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rob, Tyler, and the team. Rob did my high school senior photos 10 years ago and has been part of the family since. He’s done all of my sisters’ weddings, and most recently mine on October 14. At each one he amazes me with his creative eye. The photos he captured for us are absolutely stunning. They’re truly magical pieces of art. He makes you feel comfortable the entire day. He laughs with you, he always makes sure to you have the good lighting, AND when I needed help with my bustle, he was right there with safety pins to help!! He is truly one of a kind. He makes you feel so special and really makes every effort to capture your perfect day in such a personalized way. I would (and DO) recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

My name is Ali Cushing, a NY-based/working anywhere, visual storyteller who captures the authentic experience with intention. It's feeling, and it's found in the whirlwind and the still moments, in heightened emotion and calm, and above all, celebrating what makes you and your partner exactly who you are with the people you choose to surround yourself with. In my work composition serves to frame the feeling, with permission to be raw, outrageous, reserved, and unabashedly yourself. I make photos about the day and not the day about the photos. All couples of all genders, ethnicities, ages, faiths, shapes and abilities, are more than welcome.

I am SO HAPPY that we hired Ali for our wedding! She was so kind and easygoing while also totally in command and on top of every request we had photography wise. 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!

Awarded Best of Zola
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!

A New York native, she grew up on Long Island for many years where she received her BFA in Visual Arts from SUNY Old Westbury and now - if she's not traveling - you can find her enjoying a new coffee shop 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!

The session was incredibly fun, and the photos truly captured our personalities and the energy of the city. Magalie has an amazing eye for detail and was able to guide us in natural, effortless poses that resulted in breathtaking photos. Not only was the quality of the photos outstanding, but the entire experience was smooth, relaxed, and professional. Magalie was incredibly responsive throughout the whole process, and the turnaround time for the photos was as promised! Would highly recommend any engaged couples work with Magalie!

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.

As two film/media people, we were fairly exacting in finding our wedding photographer. Because of Celia's incredible documentary background and the color, energetic joy and intimacy of her work, she immediately rocketed to the top of our list. Our communication was personal and engaging from the jump, and when we met for engagement photos we immediately clicked - Celia is "my people" and we knew we'd be in good hands on our wedding day. Every interaction we had with Celia was just tops. Talent, sure. That goes without saying, but even more than that, Celia and her second shooter Sarah brought incredible energy to our day - full of curiosity and humor. They were patient, focused, and such a well oiled machine. Every image was true and unique and magnificent and alive. The photos are so dynamic and capture the essence of the relationships (ours and others) throughout the day and the uniqueness of the light, warmth and uh, overwhelming number of guests. We received a boatload of astounding images and were just thrilled to have worked with such a tremendous professional and artist. If you want a joyful professional with a careful eye to capture your day from teary prep to the middle of the dance floor - go with The Lovely Lens! Ten stars out of five.

This is not your normal event photographer! The attention to detail, light, and environment is on another level. The clear precise communication is a pleasure. Nothing is missed or overlooked. The results are breath taking and you will ask yourself “how did I miss that”, but Eloquent Studios got it! Highly recommended on the very level.

A good friend of mine has said that my brand is to care. She isn’t wrong-my brand is one of caring because my being is one of caring. I’ve been a wedding photog for 14+ yrs. I find that being a wedding photog is a gift - I barely have the words to describe how special it feels to be invited into clients’ most momentous & intimate wedding moments over & over again. I’m a champion for the weird & whimsical, the fun & funky - even & especially on wedding days. Plan your day the way you want to, trends be damned. Let your wedding day reflect your joy. That’s what we’re all there to celebrate, anyway. ✨

Erica is AMAZING!!! From our very first consultation call with her, my fiancé and I knew she was the best choice for our engagement shoot and wedding. We laughed and chatted and felt comfortable right off the bat. I have been told that you end up being around your wedding photographer more than almost anyone else on your wedding day - so it's super important you feel comfortable around them, so I was thrilled to feel like I have known her for years just over a Zoom call! Then, she managed to fit us in her schedule last minute, and drive over 3 hours to us in the Greater Boston area to shoot at the Arnold Arboretum! Talk about going above and beyond!!!! She frolicked around the park in the cold with us, LITERALLY climbing in and out of bushes and trees to get these gorgeous shots. You couldn't tell by the photos... but I was super duper nervous going into the shoot. I’m not a huge fan of my picture being taken… and the thought a professional camera made me feel extremely anxious. But Erica was so kind, and calm, and made me laugh and feel comfortable literally immediately!!! My fiancé and I are sooooo awkward too, but she expertly posed us in many different ways that make us look like pros LOL! A day that I had so much anxiety for… ended up being such a blast for both of us, truly. JUST THE SHOOT IN ITSELF will be a wonderful memory we will cherish forever. And then she got us the photos in record time, I couldn't believe it! So fast!!! And to no surprise, they were all incredible. It's so hard to choose a favorite, I have like 10 haha. I am beyond excited to have her shoot our wedding in the future. Five stars for EVERYTHING! Seriously. She is so incredibly talented!!!!
