Albany & Capital Region Wedding Photography

The Capital Region is home.

We’re based within an hour of Albany, and this area is where our work is most rooted. From quiet backyard moments to big, emotional milestones, we’ve spent years photographing people and stories across the Capital Region of New York. This isn’t just where we work most often — it’s where we know the light, the seasons, the pace, and the hidden corners that make sessions feel natural and unforced.

We regularly photograph weddings, couples, families, seniors, and portraits throughout Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs, and the surrounding towns and rural areas within about an hour’s drive. Whether your session happens in your own home, at a favorite local spot, or somewhere a little unexpected, we bring a calm, thoughtful approach that centers connection over performance.

We absolutely loved working with Kristen and Sheridan. They made us feel incredibly comfortable throughout our wedding day, as well as during our post-wedding photos around Albany, capturing moments in places that were especially meaningful to us. The full gallery we received was truly above and beyond our expectations.

Kristen and Sheridan were an absolute joy to work with. It was a real joy that we asked them to photograph us in two new-to-us venues: Bard and Baker and the Troy Public Library. We loved working with them and would be honored to do family portraits with them again in the future.

Portraits Across Albany, Troy & Schenectady

Our style leans honest and artistic rather than overly posed. We’ll guide you when you need it, step back when you don’t, and create space for real moments to unfold. Clients often tell us they feel seen, comfortable, and surprisingly relaxed — even if being photographed usually isn’t their thing.

Because this region is our true home base, scheduling here is flexible and travel fees are typically not required within our local radius. If you’re planning something close to home and want a photographer who genuinely understands this area, you’re in the right place.

If you’re located in the Capital Region and wondering whether your idea “counts” as a reason for photos — it does. Big milestones, quiet seasons, creative portraits, or simply wanting images that feel like you are all more than enough.
