I pride myself on being able to work with couples of all backgrounds and cultures. I am outgoing, energetic and have a true passion for documenting your day. Each wedding tells a unique story and it is my job to tell your story. I have been photographing weddings for over 6 years . Prior to that I worked weddings as a 2nd photographer and an assistant to several regional photographers. I felt that by working with several different companies I was able to gather experience from several perspectives. I shoot with the Nikon series of cameras and Lens. During the "off season" you can catch me photographing local High school sporting events.

Working with Cassie was fantastic from start to finish. She was super responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. She was so patient with our rowdy groomsmen and braved the cold with us for our pictures and ceremony. She jumped at the chance to take pictures at all the best moments. It was grey and cloudy all day, but when we saw this sunset open up over the lake, she literally ran outside with us to get these pictures. Our friends and family have made multiple comments about how great she was! We can not recommend her enough!!

I serve Syracuse, East Syracuse, Fayetteville, Skaneateles, Auburn, Oswego, Rochester and all of Central NY. I have also traveled across the country for different projects including corporate and wedding photography. So if you are outside the Syracuse area, don't hesitate to contact me. I love to travel!

When my wife and I were looking around for a wedding photographer last year, we found John’s website and really liked his work. We emailed him, and met in person a few days later. He was eager for us to look through his portfolio of previous weddings he’d done. His experience was apparent as he has lots of great ideas, but was also very interested to hear our input. We really liked John from the moment we met him. We hired him at that first meeting and we canceled meetings that we had scheduled with other photographers. On the wedding day, John looked he was on a military mission, with all kinds of cameras and gadgets hanging around his neck and belt. He was very organized, and had a list of all the specific guest groupings that we wanted photographed to ensure that none were missed. John’s super calm and relaxed demeanor put us both at ease. For the formal photos after the ceremony, he gave us very clear instructions about how to pose, which we really appreciated. When the photos were finished, we were pleasantly surprised to find lots of moments that we didn’t realize he’d captured. John did a really beautiful job and we couldn’t be happier. Next time we need photography work, we’re calling John!

Photography isn’t just what I do, it’s how I slow down and soak in life’s fleeting moments. Whether I’m capturing the glow of maternity, the quiet joy between couples, or the laughter and chaos of family life, I aim to tell honest stories through my lens. My style is natural, heartfelt, and focused on connection images that feel like you. Born and raised in NYC, but now call Upstate New York home, where I live with my college sweetheart and our beautiful daughter. I’m a mama, lover of singing, dancing, and all things creative. Capturing love in its realest form, whether in golden light or the quiet in-between, is my favorite thing to do.

I highly recommend Yosi, the pictures turned out amazing and her communication and professionalism was immaculate. She’s very personable and knowledgeable about what poses look best and also understood exactly what I wanted. I love how all the pictures turned out and will definitely be booking her again.

It's important to me to capture a moment in time that can never be lived in again. Precious memories are what hold our legacies in-tact. As a photographer, I ensure nothing but my best possible work. I took college courses in photography and captured a lot of Central new York's greatest areas, as well as the amazing people that reside in the area.

As the owner of CNY Sound with a firm placement in the wedding industry in Syracuse and its surrounding areas, I proudly recommend Barrington Imagery to couples looking for a photographer with their own unique and distinct style. I've worked with Devon from Barrington Imagery on multiple weddings, and he has proven to be a consummate professional - concise in his communication with attention to detail, organized and prompt, with an excellent eye for visuals. He seamlessly worked alongside other photographers, editing and delivering high-quality photos to the couple within one week of the wedding. Our couples have been very satisfied and impressed with the work Barrington Imagery has provided. I'm looking forward to continuing to work alongside Devon in the future.

I am just a bubbly extrovert with a serious love for love & ice cream. Growing up, my dream job was to become a wedding planner. The wedding scene fascinated me! Thankfully, my lack of organizational skills shifted me away from that and directed me towards photography instead. Photographing a wedding day is one of my greatest joys, and I truly believe it's what I was made to do. I'm here to hold your hand when you're nervous, pin boutonnieres when no one else knows how, and to give you images that are timeless, romantic, authentic.

Lauren Victoria Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From the moment we first reached out, they were incredibly friendly, responsive, and made us feel like their top priority. Their communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding was seamless. The final photos they delivered were nothing short of incredible - their creativity and artistic eye shone through in every shot, perfectly capturing the genuine emotions and effortless moments of our special day. We were thrilled to receive our full gallery in a very timely manner, allowing us to relive the magic of our wedding day. We cannot recommend Lauren Victoria Photography highly enough for any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photography team to help document their big day.

Hi, I’m Bridget — but you can call me Bee, cause that’s what my friends call me! And since we’re basically already best friends, let me tell you a secret: taking pictures isn’t even the thing I love most about my job. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m as obsessed with taking gorgeous, dripping-in-light photos that you’ll look back on for ages as much as the next photographer. But what I really love? Meeting the most kind-hearted people and getting to know them on a level much deeper than the typical client-photographer relationship.

From the moment we first spoke with Bridget, we knew we had found the perfect wedding photographer. Her photography style, her attention to detail, and her bubbly, yet calm, demeanor all contributed to the fantastic work she did for our wedding. Her communication was always organized and succinct, putting our minds at ease throughout the planning process. Most importantly, the quality of her work was truly amazing - Her classic, beautiful photography captured all the special moments of our day, going above and beyond our expectations. Not only was her photography the best that we've seen, it was also SO timely - We had sneak peeks within a few days of our wedding. Bridget was an absolute joy to work with, serving not just as our photographer, but as a wedding guide and hype woman, too! She kept our entire timeline running smoothly and made Brooke (the bride) feel so beautiful and special. Bridget has become more than just a vendor/photographer to us - she's a friend, and we plan to use her services for all of our big life events in the future. Choosing her as your photographer will be the best decision you make for your wedding day!
