Candid, real and unposed photography

Felis rhoncus turpis vitae nulla felis quis molestiet

Let’s get one thing straight right out of the gate: we are not quiet, beige, or here to blend in.


We’re CNY Photographs — a caffeine-fueled, heart-led, big-energy wedding photography team based in Central New York. Yes, coffee is basically a personality trait around here, and yes, it shows in the way we shoot, hype, and hustle for our couples. We believe your wedding photos should feel exactly like your love story: bold, emotional, wildly personal, and impossible to forget.


If you’re here because you want stiff posing, awkward smiles, or a photographer who disappears when things get real — this probably isn’t your place.


But if you want a team who will hype you up, cry behind the camera, fix your veil, wrangle your people, and tell your story like it actually mattered?


Welcome. You’re home.

Who We Are (And Why Couples Book Us)


We are a fully coordinated photography team, not a random add‑on second shooter and not a one‑person show stretched too thin. That means:


seamless coverage

consistent editing

multiple perspectives

and a calm, confident presence from start to finish

We show up loud when it’s time to party and grounded when the moment needs space.

Your wedding day isn’t a photoshoot. It’s a once‑in‑a‑lifetime story.

Our job is to tell it honestly — the big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between.

Our Style: Real > Perfect


We care less about Pinterest perfection and way more about:


real laughter

real tears

real connection

and real memories that punch you right in the feels


Yes, you’ll get gorgeous portraits. But you’ll also get the moments you didn’t even know were happening — the ones you’ll be thankful for years from now.


Because trends fade. Truth doesn’t.

The Booking Process (Simple, Stress‑Free, and Fueled by Coffee ☕)


We believe booking your wedding photographer should feel exciting — not overwhelming.


Here’s how it works when you book with CNY Photographs, your Central New York wedding photography team — no ghosting, no confusion, no cold brew required (but encouraged):


1. Inquire Online

You reach out. We squeal a little. You tell us your wedding date, venue, vibe, and what matters most. This is where the magic starts.


2. Consultation at Our Oneida, NY Studio or Virtually

We’ll meet in person at our Oneida, NY photography studio (yes, there’s coffee and snacks) or hop on a virtual call. You’ll see full wedding galleries, explore packages and add-ons, and make sure our energy matches yours. You’ll view full wedding galleries, talk through coverage options, add-ons, and timelines, and make sure we’re the right fit.


3. Custom Coverage & Booking

Once you choose your wedding photography package, we’ll lock in your date with a signed contract and retainer. From there, you’re officially on our calendar.


4. Planning Support & Timeline Help

We don’t disappear after booking. We help with timeline flow, family photo planning, and realistic expectations so your wedding day runs smoothly.


5. Wedding Day Coverage

Your fully coordinated photography team shows up ready — calm, prepared, and all-in on telling your story.


6. Gallery Delivery & Heirloom Options

After your wedding, you’ll receive a beautifully curated online gallery with options for albums, wall art, and prints designed to last generations.

Our Mission: Photography With a Purpose (Because Heart Matters 💛)


Here’s the part that matters most to us.


When you book a wedding with CNY Photographs, you’re doing more than investing in your own memories.

You’re helping us give photography access to families who otherwise wouldn’t have it.

Through our give‑back initiatives, model calls, and sponsored sessions, a portion of what we do directly supports families who:



  • have never had professional photos
  • are navigating hardship
  • or simply don’t have the resources to preserve their memories



Photos shouldn’t be a luxury reserved for a select few. They’re history. They’re legacy. They’re proof that you were here.

Your wedding helps us make sure more families get that gift.

And that? That’s something we’re damn proud of.

Why Couples Choose Us (And Stay With Us)


Couples searching for a Central NY wedding photographer, Oneida NY wedding photography, or a wedding photography team near me often find us because they want more than just photos.


Most of our wedding couples don’t just book us once. They come back for:


  • engagements
  • maternity
  • newborns
  • anniversaries
  • and everything life throws their way next


Why?

Because we don’t treat you like a transaction. We treat you like family.


We learn your people. We learn your story. And we show up every single time with intention.

If You’re Ready for Wedding Photos That Feel Like You (With a Side of Bold ☕🔥)


If you want wedding photos that feel alive. If you want a team that gives a damn. If you want your love documented honestly, boldly, and with heart.

We’d love to hear your story.


👉 Book your consultation and let’s create something unforgettable — together.


Bold love deserves bold storytelling.


— Sam & Courtney
