Syracuse Wedding Photo + Video

Central New York wedding photographer based in Syracuse, traveling wherever you're getting married. Bold, timeless photos (and videos), zero awkward energy.

Worried about Looking Awkward
in front of the camera?

No one wants to look like a cardboard cutout on their wedding day.

Maybe you’ve seen those albums where everyone looks like they’re auditioning for a royal portrait. Maybe your fiancé’s already said, “I hate taking pictures.” 

You’re the couples we LOVE working with.

If you feel awkward, you’ll look awkward. And you didn’t spend months planning your wedding day just to look like you want to escape the camera.

So we do things differently at Moments Captured CNY. 

No fake smiles. No weird hand placements. No, “chin up, shoulders back, hold it right there!” nonsense.

 
In this image, two people embrace on a cliffside path. One wears a white bridal gown with a lace train; the other, a dark suit. They're near water.

Our Three-Part Approach to Painless Wedding Photography

Problem #1

"We have no idea what to do in front of a camera."

Your complimentary engagement session is basically a practice round. We figure out what works, what feels natural, and what makes you laugh.

Problem #2

"We're worried the photographer will boss us around all day."

We’re not drill sergeants with cameras. Our style is timeless with a special emphasis on capturing portraits. You celebrate, we capture. Simple as that.

Problem #3

"What if we don't like our photos?"

You’ll see sneak peeks within 48 hours of your wedding and your full gallery arrives in 2-4 weeks. If you loved your engagement photos, you’ll love these. We’re consistent.

Had my college graduation pictures done by Kalee and Maddy back in May and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out! They were both so amazing and incredibly helpful. This was my first ever photoshoot with anyone, and they really blew my expectations out of the water. I especially give them props because it was an extremely windy day, but they were still able to capture everything and edit my hair afterwards to not make it look as crazy. They were also great at directing me, such as with positioning and poses. Kalee was so sweet with hyping me up even more and helping boost confidence! It was such a fun and unique experience. I would highly recommend Moments Captured CNY! Very reasonable pricing and amazing customer service. I definitely plan to work with them again in the future!

Caitlyn and her team went above and beyond in terms of both photos and experience for my husband and I! It didn’t feel like I was working with them on my big day, it felt like hanging out with a few of my friends. They made sure to get all the shots we were looking for! Our teasers look absolutely amazing and so professional, I am thrilled to see the full album soon. I couldn’t recommend them enough!!

Great experience getting my headshots done — worked with Caitlyn and couldn’t have asked for more. She was on time, made the whole process simple, and gave really clear direction throughout, so I always knew what to do and never felt awkward in front of the camera. Fun to talk to during the shoot too, which made the time go by fast and helped me relax into it. I came in with a clear idea of what I wanted and she nailed it. Communication after the session was great, and turnaround on edits and final photos was quick — no chasing anyone down or wondering where things stood. Highly recommend if you need headshots done right, with someone who’s easy to work with from start to finish.

Caitlyn was so wonderful!! I wanted a family picture with my kids and grandson while I was up visiting. She educated herself with things about my family beforehand and was prepared for handling my grandson who can be hard to keep still! It was raining and we couldn't take pictures outside but her studio was well equipped with beautiful props and backgrounds. Caitlyn was so easy to work with and the pictures came out perfect!!
