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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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!!

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 had such a great time working with Yosi! She was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the entire shoot, guiding me with poses and making sure I felt comfortable and confident. Her positive energy made the whole experience so enjoyable. The final photos came out absolutely amazing—better than I imagined! I’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for beautiful, professional photos.

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 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!

I’m Emily — the one behind the camera, your hype girl, biggest fan + newest friend (because yes, inevitably I want to be best friends with all of my “clients”, feels weird evening calling you that) I have been chasing my nieces and nephews around with a camera for years, and following around the photographers at my siblings’ weddings for over 5 years now! I have always loved flipping through old family albums, reliving memories through photos - so about 3 years ago I decided to pursue my dreams and launched this business!

Emily is truly a wonder. Her work is incredible, and she makes you feel like you are the most special people in the world when she is photographing you! Not to mention- her talent is unmatched. We are so lucky to have had Emily capture the most perfect wedding day. 10/10 recommend having Emily as your photographer!

  • Serves Waterloo, NY

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.

Bridget Caitlin was the perfect wedding photographer for our special day. From the moment we met, her fun, energetic and kind communication style put us at ease. The quality of her work was incredible - the photos are bright, crisp and truly capture all the special moments. Bridget was such a friendly face to have on our wedding day, working seamlessly to manage our crazy timeline and bring our vision to life. The photos we have from our wedding day are absolutely stunning, and we're so grateful to have had Bridget as our photographer. She was so fun and nice throughout the entire process!

Awarded Best of Zola
If you want pictures of your wedding, tell your guests to whip their phones out and take pictures. If you want professional photographs of your wedding, there are dozens of people with fancy equipment you could hire. If you want someone who is going to guide you through the real ins-and-outs of the wedding process, someone to warn of you of the potential pitfalls and make suggestions that will bring your day to life, and someone to help you craft a seamless timeline all while making you feel seen, heard, and calm during your special day, hire Melissa. The photographs of our engagement session and our wedding speak for themselves. They’re stunning, and we look forward to looking at them every day of our lives. What you are getting with Melissa goes well beyond someone to take photos. In our first consultation, she put it perfectly: she has been to far more weddings than you ever will. She is an expert, she knows what to expect, and she knows how to keep things moving. She really felt like a second event coordinator, and one who’s primary focus was our well-being. There was a moment during the wedding when things were getting a bit chaotic, and Melissa swooped in and brought us outside, not just to get some beautiful sunset photos but more so to give us a chance to catch our breath and be in a quiet space with each other. This would have been impressive enough on its own, but considering the fact that Melissa warned us that something like this may happen and that she would trust her instincts to know when we needed something we ourselves didn’t even know we needed demonstrates the level of care and professionalism you’ll receive when you hire Blooming Faith. Melissa and her shooting partner were a joy to work with, and we plan on working with Blooming Faith for many of our future milestones.
